In the social calendar the
time has come which may be
called the season of suspense. tits

tact and diplomacy so much used
in personal intercourse are TO be

all Of these affairs appertaining to

glaring forms Of ostcntation, dis
play and ar%istocratic eXclusiveness
which Of late have been publicly
deplored and discussed as impend-

is looked upon and fayorably spok-

times. Up to last season there
were evidences that what may be
termed the European tendencies on

of summer resorts in the life at the

current of social affairs, there have
not been wanting signs that Il peri

promising that the season now
to open will be sound, sensible
ideas concerning dress and enter

The pre-E mption Laws.

Washington, September 26.-
During the past summer the COM
missioner of general land office has
had in the states and territories
where there arc large quantities of
unsold public lands Il large force Of
special agents engaged in the de
lection and Investigation of fraud
ulent entries under the prc-emp-
ton, homestead, and timber cul-
ture acts. The reports Of these
agents reveal such a condition of
affairs that in all probability the
Secretary Of the Interior in his an
nual report will commend the re
peal not only Of the presumption
laws, but oftho timber culture act
also.
Among tie considerations which
j, is boIioued viii be urgcdi favor
Of repeal are; 1. That practically
the actual settler rau get title to
his farm as soon under the homo-
stead "ct Il. under the pre- enpt:oo
law and that there aIe TO need OF
two methods, to attain the same
object. :. That wI.i,e the three
laws remain d settler may take adj
vantage Of each and acquire title to
480 acres OF public land by paying
cash for 100 acres and taking the
remainder under tine homestead
and timber culture acts-a quaint
ty which, it is suggested, is greater
than the settler should be permit
ted to obtain on such easy terms
in the present condition of affairs.
3. That both the presumption and
the timber cultures offer a pre-
MUM to dishonesty, as is clearly
shown by the great number Of
fraudulent entries which have been
detected.-H1ter ocean.

If the citizens of FL Paso want
the White Oaks road built they
should not wait for Huntington or
Gould to do the work, but com
mence it themselves. The Mexi-
can Central will shortly be com
pleted, and the contractors of the
road should be "secn" before they
leave the country. Once they are
allowed to leave, it will not be 50
easy as now to find men to grade
the White Oaks road. They are
now here with complete outfits,
and it would the merest child's
play for two or three such men as
Joe lIampson to undertake the
construction of the entire road.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Imitation always follows a successful
article, and imitation is one of the best
proofs of real honest merit; and thus it is
that the James Boss Gold Watch Case has
its initators. Buyers can always tell the
genuine by the trademark of crown, from
which is suspended pair of u.,< ~ ..,x
scales. Be sure BOTH crown and < ]
scales are stamped in the cap of the watch
case. jewelers. are very cautious about en-
dorsing an article unless they not only knosu
that it is good, but that the character of
the manufacturers is such that the quality
of the goods viii be kept fully up to standard.

A SPOTTED GIRL.

In the town Of Springfield, Ohio, there
lives a young girl who is and of right
ought to be a mulatto, but the color OF
whose skin is constantly changing from
deep brown to a snowy white, and back
again to the original hue. The Spring
field Globe, which describes this phe-
nomenon, is.precise enough to say that
she lives at No. 107 Scott street. and is
the daughter of a well-to-do drayman
named James Keemer. The transition
is not effected by a slow process of uni
form fading, but by the appearance
of successive white spots which finally
monopolize the entire surface. 1t fol-
lows that at certain stages Of this trans
formation the girl presents an exceed
ingly striking aspect. Thus the reporter
of the Globe, who was recently admitted
to an inspection of the phenomenon, re-
marks: every often the neighbors say
they are accust tomed to seeing the child
run around during the warm weather
with one foot and,ankle as dark as any
little colored girls need be, and the other
as white as that of the fairest lady of the
land. Frequently one hand is a dark
mulatto color, while the other will be
spotlessly white and almost transparent.
Often the child's face will be entirely
white but the eyelids they retaining
their original color. When she closes
her eyes the effect is striking. Quite as
often the face will be entirely brown and
the eyelids alone white, giving tue girl
an unearthly appearance when the lids
are down.

OIL ON THE TROUBLED WATERS.

NEWPORT, R l., November 20.-"Yes,
sir, we let as many as six hundred gal
Ions, of oil 60 into the sea, and that saw
ed the whole of u.s." These words were
spoken today by Captain Parker, of the
British brig Louisa Coipel, of Yarmouth,
n. S., who arrived last evening with his
vessel, alter experiencing most tempestu-
Gus weather. The vessel left Yarmouth
on the 7th instant with a general cargo
for New York. Owing to severe gales,
the vessel made for Nantucket shoals, az
irving there at about midnight On the
18th. Two big anchors were dropped,
but the vessel dragged, and the Captain,
to save his vessel, was compelled to slip
these and put out to sea. The hurricane
still continuing, ssthe vessel lay to on the
port tack. The sea was running noun
tains high, the waves washing over the
vessel from stem to stern, and with such
force that the deck fargo got badly shift
ed. The Captain and his two officers
decided to tap some barrels of fish oil
which was on deck. The casks were re-
lashed and large number of holes bored
into them, so that stream of oil flowed
into the sea. The effect was almost in
Stantaneous. The vessel was drifting
about six points to the leeward, leaving
the oil to the windward. Captain Parker
says that in about three-quarters of an
hour the waves had almost ceased break
ing over his vessel, and that but for the
fact that he had oil on board the vessel
and all hands must have been lost.

A LESSON OF THE AWFUL TRAG
EDY,

1t appears that the aged negro who
worked for the Maybees at BrookviIle
knew about Mrs, Maybee's having mon
ey in her room, and be talked about it
while in the Poor house, where the
tramps who are suspected of Saturdays
murders undoubtedly first heard of the
valuables which tempted them to their
fiendish crimes 1t is bad habit TO keep
money concealed at home or to carry
much OF it upon the person. The fact
is almost certain to become known, and
the knowledge cannot extend to the de-
praved without suggesting robbery to
their minds Many have learned to
their sorrow the danger of keeping cost
ly plates and valuable jewelry in their
homes in rural villages To crafty the
taste for such ornaments is to take SER
ious gisk. Now that payment can read
ily he made by check, there Is no lesson
why any man should carry a large sum
of money in his pocket, and trustworthy
banks and savings institutions are easily
accessible to the people in every commu-
nifty. Persons who transact much bust
ness avail themselves of these conven-
fences, but some who are afraid of losing
their money by depositing it in banks,
especially women, are accustomed to
hide their treasure in their beds, bureaus
and various odd corners, thinking that
their habit will never be known. The
dangerous character of their delusion is
revealed by the most awful tragedy on
Long Island. To carry on your person
or conceal in your house money or val
uables which oug ht to be deposited in
the vaults of bank is to set a premium
for an assault similar to that upon the
Mavbees at Brook ville.-Ne1o York Mail
