How to Dance.

To return to the dancing: You prob
ably want to know how to properly do
it this summer. l have obtained the
information from the most competent
authority. In waltzing the positions
vary so from season to season that
what is proper one year is awfully
wicked the next. During 1884. there
fore, understand that the gentleman
should put his arm firmly around the
girls waist, not holding her too close,
but firmly grasping her right hand in
his left one, she turning the palm of
her right hand downward: her right
arm should be nearly straight but not
stiff; the gentleman's arm should be
slightly bent, the elbow inclined slight
ly backward. 1t is now wrong to place
the Joined hands against the gentle
mans side or hip. The step should
be in unison. If the gentleman bends
his right elbow too much he draws the
girls left shoulder against his right.
thereby drawing her too close. The
gentleman's right shoulder and the Ia
dy's left should be as far apart as the
other shoulders. The waltz is still
fashionable.
Some dance it very quickly, with a
great deal of motion, but render it ele-
giant by Stacking the pace every now
and then; others so quietly that they
could go around the room holding a
trimming glass of champagne without
spilling drop. Evenness in waltzing
is graceful but inconvenient. The pol
ka is revived with a vengeance. Not
the old-fashioned heel and toe, but the
step, quick and gay, of the Schlavonic
peasants; hop, three glides, and a
rest, and the music is tWo-four time.
The polka redowa and the polka ma
zurka are notifications of this step in
different time.
Now let me finish by telling you ex-
actly how to courtesy this summer in
the quadrille. The girl steps off with
her right foot, bearing nearly all her
weight upon it, at the same time raising
the heel of her left foot, thus placing her |
self facing her partner. she then glides |
the left foot backwards and across I'M
til the toe of the left foot is directly be- |
hind the right heel. the feet about one
half the length of the foot apart This |
glide commences on the ball of the left |
foot and terminates with both feet upon /
the floor and the transfer of the weight |
to the backward foot.
The bending of the knees and the |
casting down of the eyes begin with |
the commencement of the glide with
the left foot, and the genuaections are
steadily continued until the left foot /
reaches the position required. Then,
without changing the weight from the
backward foot, she gradually rises. at
the same time raising the forward heel
and lifting her eyes until she RECEIVERS
her full height Finally she transfers
her whole weight to her forward foot.

Half q mile from Buzzard Roost,
North Carolina, way mp among the
mountains. is q mine. The owners
don't say much about il. nor do they
appear anxious for visitors to 90 there;
nevertheless the mine is one of the
most curious affairs in the country
the only one of its kind, il is to be
hoped. IN the world. The material
mined here is 3 peculiar kind of white
rock which the miners say has no
name, 50 they have very appropriately
called it deception rock" Its uses are
varied and its value is so great that
the mine and the works near by pay a
good dividend upon the money invest
ed.
The rock is mined in great pieces or
chunks, which are loaded upon wheel
barrows and taken to large wooden
chute, where they are dumped. This
wooden chute runs down the precipi-
tous side of the mountain and ends at
'the mills The rock in this rapid
transit through the large trough be-
comes reduced to small pieces or
Jumps, about the size of cocoanuts.
These are gathered up by the work
men, and when the rock comes from
the mills it is reduced to soft white
powder. which is put in barrels and
shipped to New York, where it sells
for from So to $3.50 per barrel.
The uses to which this powdered
rock is put are many. The coarser
quality, especially that which contains
small portions of mica, is used to
adulterate granulated sugar. 1t is
said to be excellent for this purpose,
since nearly twenty per cent. may be
mixed with pure sugar without fear of
detection. It also gives sugar great
weight, and for this reason is valuable
for purposes of adulteration. The
second grade of the deception rock"
powder is much smoother and finer:
this is used to adulterate powdered
sugar. 1t is also used in large GUAM
titles to give the cheapest grades of
clancy flour" the desired weight. Still
another and finer grade of powder is
made, and this is used exclusively in
the manufacture of candies. Since the
introduction of this powder about two
years ago it has largely superseded
terra alba" which was formerly used
in the manufacture of candies-espec-

replied, Il reckon it's jest cause you

of clay, an you can't detect dis yere

Locomotive Sparks,

From person who resides on the
Black River railroad, we learn the
following about the railroad: Be-
tween the railroad terminus at Oscoda,
and the Black River railroad at Twin
Lakes is distance Of only eighteen
miles. r. A. Alger was at the Black
River railroad last week, and although
very little was said about what is to
be done towards extending the Detroit,
Bay City and Alpena railroad to this
city, yet the belief is entertained that
there is no doubt but that the railroad
will be extended to this city this year.
Our informant believes that the route
will be from Osooda to near Hubbard
Lake, and thence across the county to
Alpena. Such line would be Of far
more advantage to Alpena than if the
Black River railroad was used as far

Post Office.

The business done at the postoffice
in this city, last year, is slightly be-
hind that of the preceding, but is
considerably ahead of 1881. The
year 1883 will therefore be second, as
regards the amount of business done,
in dollars and cents. In the amount
of money orders issued by the office,
1882 exceeds 1883 by s355.50. The
decrease was in the foreign money
business-the domestic money order
business of 1883 being ahead Of that
of 1882, by S3S2.67. The foreign
order business of 1883 was $738.17
behind that of 1882. This would in
dictate that Alpena people have not
sent as much money to foreign coun-
tries during 1883, as they did in 1882.
The number issued by the Alpena
postoffice, the last three years, is as
follows:

f1eath OF Charles f. Mason.

/Chas. f. Mason, of the Mason Lum-
Der Co., of this city, died at Detroit
about one o'clock yesterday. Mr..
Mason was born in Port Huron, was
in the lumber business at Detroit for
some time, and came to Alpena in
1870, since which time he has been
extensively engaged in numbering in
this region. He was secretary and
manager of the Mason Lumber Co.
