A Lady Lawn Tenniser.

n. 1. sun.
Astroll on Washington Heights revealed
to a correspondent a fashionable girl
f~ashionably playing lawn tennis. She had
more than the average height of her sex
and was symmetrically perfect. Her figure
was increased in what he supposes was a
Jersey bodice. At all events the fabric
was elastic, woven and seamless. In his
opinion there was no corset under it., else
she could not possibly have been so sup
pie nor would every movement of the
muscles below her shoulder blades have
been visible. He does not like to think
that she was consciously on exhibition,
and that her poses and action were
studiously. Women may like to know
that her skirt was short, striped and
scant; that her stockings were black; that
her shoes were alligator skin, cut low,
and that, as to her hat, their fancy must
construct it out of the bare assertion that
it was big and so eccentric in shape that
no architect could give an idea of it on
paper without at least q hundred cross
section views.

BELLIES AND BEAUx WHO SWIM
Washington Society Excited Over IL
Recent Innovation.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-This summer
the swell beau sends delicately perfumed
notes to his female friends which contain
an invitation to take a swim. The great
rink which was used at winter for roller
skating has been turned into a natatorium
by a young Washingtonian, and he has
begun a series of semi-weekly swimming
SORES. A find band is in attendance and
the interior is brilliantly lighted with
electric jets. Broad balconies surround
the basin, where opera chairs are provid-
ed for spectators and friends of the swim
mers who do not care to participate.
Along either side are closet-like rooms,
one room being assigned to the gentlemen
and the other to their fair partners, a
check being given for each.
Upon entering they retire to their
respective sides of the hall, and in ten
minutes appear in gay bathing suits. The
couple meet at the springboard at the
head of the bath, and away they go with
a plunge in concert.
1t is lots of fun they say, and now that
it has suddenly grown polite the ]soirees
are jammed each night to the full capacity
of the bath, which Is about 60 by 300 feet.
The man who started the rage is the lion
of the hour, and nothing else commands
the attention of the quality folk who have
nothing to do except amuse themselves
with some new thing.

A Crowned Mummy Found.

A rare archaeological treasure was re-
Gently discovered at Usme, in the state
OF Cundsnamarca, but, unfortunately the
good fortune befell an ignorant laborer,
whose carelessness and want of intelli-
gence have deprived the scientific world
of an opportunity for research such as is
but seldom encountered. Tautiva was
blowing a field at Usme, in the neighbor-
hood of Bogota, when his pillow encoun-
tered a large stone. Out Of curiosity he
raised the slab and was awarded for his
labor by discovering a mummy covered
with numerous gold ornaments, the most
important of which was a large collar.

A Rev. Bishop Detained as a Lunatic.

A Rev. Bishop Detained rs Lunatic.
The recent mortal exit of the late
Rev. Bishop Peck recalls an incident
that made national mirth at his ex.
pense over thirty years ago; a clever
trick of the undergraduate boys OF
Dickinson College, perpetrated soon
after his accession to the presidency
of that institution. The now distin-
guished Moncure d. Conway, then q
Methodist preacher in prospect, has
the traditional credit of being one of
the devisers of the scheme. In the
spring of 1S49 the Baltimore Method
list Conference held its annual session
in Staunton, Va, the seat of one of
the three state lunatic asylums. While
President Peck was on his way to the
conference, the young rascals in tAe
college of Carlisle wrote letter to the
superintendent of the Staunton Asy-
lum, stating that a lunatic had escaped
from confinement in Pennsylvania, a
very large man, bald-headed, with
great, round, staring blue eyes, whose
special form of mama was that he was
a Methodist preacher and president of
Dickinson College. He answered to
the name and title of "Dr. Peck. "
The friends of this unfortunate gen
tleman would be exceedingly obliged
to the Staunton superintendent if he
would watch the cars, and, if the in
dividual described made his appear
ance, quietly take charge of him and
keep him under asylum restraint till
some friend could get to him. ALI
charges for his detention would be
promptly met. The superintendent
was on hand at the time indicated,
singled out his man readily. and
courteously addressed him: CDR.
Peck, I believer "Yes sir" "Pres.
ident of Dickinson Oollege9" Eyes
sir" 81 have carriage in waiting fol
you." "You are very kind" said the
unsuspecting stranger, as he took his
seat in the..vehicle, and was forthwith
whirled off to the lunatic limbo, where
he would have been incarcerated as {
dangerous maniac, if the preachers o
the conference had not interfered ant

Texas Cowboys Exhibiting In New Or
leans.

A party of Texas cowboys are exhi-
biting in New Orleans, and the New
Orleans Times Democrat, in speaking
of the exhibition, says:
II is well to say, owing to the exag-
gerated manner in which the Texas
cowboys have been advertised, many
people in this city have been led to the
belief that they are not genuine Texans.
This impression, however, is erroneous,
as all the men are residents OF Cald-
we'll county, Texas, and have spent
their entire life handling cattle on the
ranges. Capt. A. d. Grady, a native
Texan, and prominent stockman,
stated to the reporter that he first con-
ceived the idea OF organizing troupe
of real cowboys while witnessing an
exhibition given by stockmen in Austin
short time ago. The exhibition was
attended by many thousand people who
were greatly interested in the
feats of the cowboys, and he came to
the conclusion that If such perform
ance would do so we'll in Texas that 1t
would meet with much greater success
in the old States. Hence the presence
of Capt. Grady and his men in this
city. The entertainment will consist
of feats of Craftsmanship, the display
of skill with the lariat and the manner
of handling wild cattle in Texas. 1t
is safe to say that the cowboys will in
terest all who witness their exhibition.

Hogs vs.. ALI Other Stock.

By a careful analysis Of the Treas
ury reports, it is found that the hog
furnished more export material than
all the fat cattle, all the dairy products,
all the horses, all the mules, and the
sheep and all the poultry and poultry
products put together. While the ex-
ported hog products for the two years
of 1879 and 1880 amounted to the
great sum of $186,O87,726, all the
products of all other domestic ami
mails and the live animals themselves
amounted to only $1O5, $40, 1892, max
ing about $75,000,000 in favor OF
the hogs as against all and every
other domestic animal and products
from the same that found an export
market. Really this shows well for
hog raising. How important then is
the hog stock in this nation, and of
the great northwest in particular.
When we come to think it over we
shall find but few farmers whom we
have known here in this country but
who sell and get more for their hogs
than for all else combined. The hog
multiplies fast and natures quickly.
When it is considered how important
factor the hog is in production of
wealth, it is not a little strange that
the real scientific knowledge of hogs to
raise them and keep them healthy is
so little understood? As seen above,
the hog brings more money to this
nation from other nations than all
other domestic animals put together,
and vet there is not man in America
that understands the diseases of the
hog or can cure him when he is sick.
We think here is field that our agri-
cultural colleges and veterinary doctors
had better explore.
II Great Bridge Lighted by Electricity.
The Brooklyn Bridge was dark and
deserted except at the gate, where the
watchmen were admitting a squad Of
electricians. The bridge seemed twice
as large in the darkness as it ever is
in daylight. The great cables, the
thousands of wires and cords filling
the air overhead only added to the
complicated vastnesS of the structure.
The river cleaned far below, tugs and
ferry boats glded over the silvery
pathway as if they were phantom
TOYS in a scene of enchantment. On
either way two great cities stretched
away into the night. Suddenly there
was a crackle and fash of MONDAY
light. A grim, greasy man in the
Elm street cellar had touched a lever
and for the first time since the world
was created electricity spanned tn
nver. The $1,000 candle-powei

A Historical Collection Of Shoes.

j
A singular addition has been made to the
Cluny Museum. 1t was the curious fashion
of the great engrayer, Jacquenard, to collect
the boots and shoes of all times and coun-
tries, and In gratifying this special taste he
was at once both connoisseur and artist. He
knew the actual value of these curlosities,
and he also knew how useful they would be
to artists whose subjects were taken from
earlier periods in history. When a man has
perfected his collection, but two courses are
open to him-to break it up or leave it to
the nation. Jules Jaquenard did the latter,
and the gallery inst opened at the Cluny
Museum is without rival in its complete
ness and its interest. The heavy top-boots
and leggins of the warriors of the middle
ages are here, eyidencing abundance of
grease and absence of Day & Martini" which
Carlyle 80 insisted on as a characteristic %
Frederick the Greats war costume. Other
cases are full of little slippers and high
heeIed shoes of the beauties of the ~eigh-
teenth century. From this collection it
would seem that the lady's boot, as it was
worn few years ago, buttoning up few
inches above the ankle, and, in effect acting
as kind of bandage round the lower part
of the foot was not very popular, and that,

New ENGLAND Life.

1t might be supposed that the editor of
the New York Sun had the idle hands
for whom somebody always finds mischief
to do. That paper sets agoing more un-
reasonable and extravagant reports to the
prejudice of persons and communities than
any other in the land, delighting to discover
vices and magnify them. Recently it has
assailed New England as specially given
over to immortality, of which the eVi
dence aud fruit is the number Of di-
vorces. 1t asys that "scandalous breaches
of the marriage covenant occur among the
native population rather than among the
foreign born," and, Sin the little farming
and village communities in proportion more
than in the cities" The u(Dnth and VIC
iousness of the SUMS attack upon the New
England character appears clearly in the
following extract from long article:
There is no deep regard for the sanctity of
marriage among large part OF the native pop
ulatiou OF New England, and consequently
they are glad to take advantage OF the many
facilities for divorce offered by the law. Young
people marry, and perhaps one OF the couple
gets tired of the bond and soon runs away, Civ
ing the other ground for divorce for deser-
ton. Deserted wives are frequently encoun-
tered, and many of them seem to take their
condition as matter of course. They wait
until they c4n get divorce, and afterward,
very likely, marry again, the same minister,
perhaps, officiating at roth weddings.
1t is sufficient to publish such charge in
New England community to secure its
refutation by every citizens knowledge of
his own neighborhood. Yet articles like
this, conceived in recklessness, go from end
TO end of the land and unquestionably de-
ceive the honest and ignorant as much as
they crafty the malignant. Divorces are
too common no doubt. The laws of some of
the New England States are too favorable to
the dissolution of the marriage relation, and
as a consequence people come from other
communities and gain residence long
enough to obtain release from ties they de-
sire to repudiate. There is less care and
caution about assuming the welded life
than there ought to be, on which account
dissatisfactions arise and divorces sometimes
follow; but there is no such lax and scan
dalous social condition in the rural commu-
mites of New England as the writer in the
Sun represents to be common and tolerated.
