Cuban Bellies at Saratoga.

The maidens dress becomingly in light
silks and snowy swiss and fluttering rib
bons, and their little feet are hidden in
the most elabOrately embroidered SLIPPERS
from Havana. They appreciate, it is said,
the harmless sensation they have caused
and are shortly to give full-dress hop in
which they Will favor their guests with
some native Cuban dances.
These Cuban. families arrived here early
IN July, having come directly from their
island home. They are usually very rich
and are planters, tobacco merchants and
professional men. OF late years they
have been complaining of hard times, but
it is noticed that they are still as free and
as generous with their money as any
class here.
The dark-eyed beauties, and indeed. the
whole Cuban population, mingle enthu-
slastically in the life and gayety of the
place. The appearance of the men is
familiar on the streets Of New York, with
their Panama hats, swarthy complex
ions and white linen suits.
In September these damsels with the

these are purchased at Saratoga, and the
summer shopkeepers here receive some
much-needed patronage. But these late
sales help the tradesmen out.

that black and yellow were the favorite
cOlors, not used in one toilet, but all black

bouquet. and it was noted as rather a sim
gular fact that as the trains decreased in
size the bouquets increased in circumfer-
ence. Some OF the dresses were ungrace-
fully short, and the bouquets of such an
immense size as to appear tOp-heavy. If
these mOnstrosities continue to grow to
larger proportions, some chief leader of
fashion will be obliged to issue an edict
like the one in EliZabeth's time regarding
high rutfs, prohibiting the bouquet from
measuring over half yard in width.
One lady, known for her perfect taste

by marriage, were employees of the tur-
pentine works OfJ. NJ. Woodward, several
miles from Eastman. 1t is said that for
some time past there has been bad blood
existing between the parties. In order to
separate them Mr.. Woodward discharged
Mr.. Perdue. Yesterday, however, he
came to where Mr.. Peel was work
ing and sought a difficulty with
him. Peel, it is stated, tried to
avoid any trouble, but Perdue was
persistent, and Peel went to his house
and got his shotgun, which he kept by his
side. Perdue insisted upon a fair fight,
which was refused. He came up with an
aX in his hand and. cursing Peel, told
him he had to fight. WhereupOn Peel
took up his gun and discharged the load
of one barrel INTO Perdue's breast, who.
reeling, cursed Peel again. Peel then fired
the other load at him and he fell, exclaim-
ing, Farewell, world" Life was soon eX-
tinct. \ COrOner's jury was summoned
and held an inquest. Upon hearing the
evidence. they rendered a verdict of justi-
fable homicide. Peel quietly remained
on the premises after the deed was done,
making no attempt whatever to leave.
