She Was Not Intellectual.

Long Branch letter. Philslslpha Press.
1t is amusing to see the efforts that women
with abundance Of money, but no social position,
make TO get into what is called society at a sea-
side resort. just as if permission to chat with i
fashionable woman for few weeks in summer
hotel gave any assurance that the acquaintance
would continue after society had gone home and
settled down again to its routine Of calls and din
ners and dances Here is singular instance in
point. Mrs George H. Boxer the beautiful
wife Of the President of the Union League, is
s0journing at one of the fashionable hotels here
AS she came out of her room the other morning
she heard voice calling, MRS. Boxer, Mrs
Boxer, and presently another guest woman
from Western State, came hufrying up to her
and said, ..0h, are you Mrs. Broker7p
II believe So was the cold answer.
II am so glad the Western lady went on
undaunted. II have heard very much of you
and have been anxious to meet you I-I-un-
derstand that you are Intellectual .tIndeed!s
replied Mrs. Boxer, II admit a knowledge Of tho
English alphabet but YOU are the first person to
accuse me Of what you call intellectuality

to their convictions, and earnest to disseminate
the truth as they understood and believed it,
came from far and near in sparsely -settled re-

of each other the fervor and inspiration Of their
peculiar dogmas and methods Orleans and
hay wagons, the old-fashioned chaise and chair,
the side-saddle and cart were among the means
employed to reach the place of meeting. Many

means Of transportation, carrying their own
society tent and cof1missariat; and thus thou
sands came together with but one single object
in view, which was, in the language Of their dis
tinguished founder, to spread holiness through
out these lands. Their greatest preachers were
called to join and help them and, with charac-
teristic fidelity and sacrifice of personal ease,
ecclesastics of highest renown Joined in the
simplest and rudest methods of tentlife, and
labored with power and efficiency to bring the
thoughtless and wandering to better and q
higher life, The preaching was simple direct

of religious harvest home, an in-gathering Of
fruit from seed that had been sown
during the year, in local churches. as wen as

were renewed and fraternal interests and greet

a blessing to themselves and to others Such
was the old-time line Of thought and expression

Not the hottest of weather can compel society
people in Washington to forget their church
duties The fashionable churches are well filed
every Sunday Washington has probably more
size, than almost any other city in the country.
just now half dozen or more churches are be-
ing built in various parts Of the city, while the
number already in existence is very large. De-
and that the temptation Of hot weather is to stay
at home and keep cool the churches at the
morning services are well filed Washington is
unconventional in the matter of dress, and it
has been allowable for almost any sort of gar
ment to be worn by ladies, especially in the sum-
meT; but this rule has never extended to church
dressing in so marked degree as this summer,
Imagine dress cut very low as to the yoke and
very high as to the sleeves, the intervening
courtesy ric-rac and you have the disturbing ele-
ment in the mind of your average female church
goer in Washington just now.

a feast which throws the clam chowder and the
barbecue into the deep shade of obscurity. In
fact, the burgoo usually includes barbecue as a
sort of incident. You 90 out to a corner of the
woods where the thick underbrush has been care
fully cut away, and where there are trees enough
for shade, but not enough for gloom, and there
you sit and play poker and smoke the finest to-
bacco in the world, and drink oily ten-year old
ourgoo until along In the afternoon,
when the niggers pronounce the nur-
goo ready and ladle it out to you in big
bowlfuls The burgoo is delicious broth
which is perpetual reminder of the aborigines,
who handed it over to our pioneering forefathers
when they began coming across the mountains
from Virginia. You take-or rather the darkies
take-a gigantic kettle and hang it over a roar
Ing fire. A light broth is made first; then they
throw in young chickens. young ducks sucking
pigs and all sorts of small game with fresh Pc
tatoes, green peas, string beans, corn and every
other vegetable. Everything is cooked until the
meats begin to fall to pieces. Then the walters,
with shining, smiling black faces, and snow
white jackets and aprons, bear great bowlfuls Of
the toothsoine stew through the grove. Oh, how
good it Isl My mouth waters as | tell you of it
Afterward there is more burgoo, and then moro

enough. Then the darlkies satisfy themselves.
