Gettin. Acquainted with Vassar.

NEW YORK Tribune.
Harry Coultaus is a young artist engaged
for the present on The Graphic, and doing
some OF the cleverest work ON il. l heard a
lady telling this rather amusing story about
him, and threatening to publish it; but for
fear she does not think will give it public
ity here He was sent recently to reproduce
the scenes at Vassar college commencement.
and sIent several days there, during which
he became pleasantly intimate with several
Of the lady teachers and some Of the gushing
young graduates.
To group Of them ono day he made the
remark in a quiet manner that, though he
had never before been at Vassar or enjoyed
the acquaintance of any of it's charming in
mates, he had had letters from several hun
dred Of the students there. The young
ladies naturally expressed their surprise.
Not anonymously. l hope" suggested one
of them. "Oh, nos" replied Coultaus; "they
use their right names. filed their letters,
and comparing them with the printed ac-
counts CT the commencement l found that
the writer's had used their true names. Some
even kindly sent me their photographs"
Their photographs. And you a stranger to
them" exclaimed the girls in chorus "A
perfect stranger. But they sent not only
their pictures but their dimensions, complex
ions, and all that. They even wrote details
Of the color of their hair, their eyes, their
dimensions around the shoulders, busts, and
waists, and they even sent me the numbers
Of the gloves, shoes, and hose they wore".
Il don't believe word Of it," exclaimed
one of the prospective graduates. "But it Is
strictly true," he protested "And, more
over, they always asked me to send them
some such articles US bonnets, wraps, dresses,
AM even jewelry." "And of course you did
not disappoint the foolish creatures" asked
one sarcastically. "Oh, never; was only
too glad to oblige them, made it rule to
attend to their every wish as a matter Of
business" "And, pray. Mr. Coultaus,"
asked one Of the teachers, 'what business
were you then engaged inr' 81 was a cor
clerk for Messrs A. T. Stewart

group Of the indignant young graduates.

"When entered the army said Grand
Army man to a friend, Il had never seen nor
tasted whortleberries or huckleberries, and
one day as we were moving forward as vi
dettes or skirmishers in advance Of the main
army in Tennessee had surprise We
were beating the woods half q mile or so to
the left OF the main road TO make sure that
no rebels were lurking there, and were sew

meeting with some opposition on the road.
was very much ABSORBED in the business ON
hand because l feared an ambuscade, but US
we came into a sort Of a clearing heard the
man to niy right say, Great Scott, look at
that
Although there was a mouth wateriness
about the tone, l was little startled at his
exclamation, and was not little confused
when saw the lins of skirmishers break into
groups, and the men grab with reckless and
hilarious energy at the bushes in the fore
ground l could not understand it until
some fellow with his mouth full mumbled,
'Huckleberries, you FOOL and was soon as
busy as the rest. Remember, We had not
tasted fruit for months, and then you will un-
derstand me when / say those rich, dead ripe
huckleberries were to me the most delicious
thing had ever tasted
I'VE forgot all about the skirmish line, all
about the desultory firing over on the right,
all about the possibility Of an ambuscade
We were like half lf-starved men in the pres
ence of tempting food, and were giving our
whole attention to huckleberries, when tie
ma jor's voice rang out like the blast Of
bugle, Lie down, men, blank you, lie DOWN.
Down We went with mouths and hands full
OF huckleberries, just as q battalion Of Con-
federatcs. who had slipped up on us quietly,
fired a volley. There we were, fiat on tho
grouni, among those bushes, choking with
berries and excitement, and those fellows
blazing away at us.
"The major had been in the business as
deeply as ourselves, but, having more re-
sponsibility ON his mind, had raised his head
just in time to see the Confederate line get
ting ready to fire. The men had dropped at
his command as though they had been shot,
and they lay still, not knowing what would
come next. After the first volley there was
an internal of silence; then he heard the
voice Of Capt. B., of the other battalion Of
our regiment, burst out: Steady, now left
Oblique, fire." Then we understood it, The
rebels had been SO intent in taking us in out
Of the wet that Capt. b., surprised at our
quietness and marching TO see what was the
matter, had slipped up on the Johnnics. As
soon as we heard his volley we jumped up
with a common impulse and dashed forward

THE tragedy enacted in COchise county, near the southern line, m the Huachuca mountains, last Friday, when Messrs. Rafferty, Fritz. Raymond and Mrs. Fritz were brutally murdered, was not only unfortunate to the dead, but may result in still further trouble in that section. The story of the murder of the boy Quinones, together with the recent murders. IS somewhat wrapped in mystery, though the recent murders seem to have been committed by friends of the dead boy, who doubtless thought they were svenging the death of the lat ter. Bad blood has been riseing in that neighbOrhOod for s,ms time between citizens of Santa Cruz and unknown Americans on this side of the line. and the recent tragedy was not unexpected by those best informed, yet there was no we'll defined theory Gs to who would be the unfortunate ones to suffer. The affair has an ugly look, vet we trust that all Americans in that section will act with moderation and bear m mind that the friends of the murdered boy, if they were the parties, thought they were jus tiied Tn the act, and while it was an outrageous and high handed proceeding, it will not do for them to retaliate in kind. Two wrongs will not make one right. Sensible citizens on both sides of the line should do their best to bring about an amicable adjustment of the difiicultie@, for if such action is not taken there is no telling where or when the trouble will end.

TIE Republican county committee have the full Republican ticket printed on large posters 3I6 ,teet in size, in col ors. The job was done at the CITIZEN office, and is credit to the printers art. These posters will be sent to every cleo ton precinct in the c,.nty that the electors may know who to vote for. The names are correctly printed, and those who fail to secure printed tickets on election day can copy the names on the poster and be assured thGt they have the right ones. It would also be well for voters to compare their tickets with the poster on election day and see that no trickery IS practiced by the Demo cra.s in the way of fraudulent tickets.

CLEVELAND Democrats will not find many comforting passages in John kelly's recent speech at the Tsmmany Hail county convention. It will cause a shiyer to pass down their spinal column similar 10 that caused by the cold wave brought down by Head on his recent visi. to this city. Mir. Kelly said:
 It is well known that this organiza tion was not in favor of Grover Cleve. land. and so clearly expressed itself at the Chicago Convention. We said end believed that It would be an unwise nomination If made. I will not critlcise Governor Cleveland for his lack of qual- iiications for the position of the first officer of the general government. The community has done that, It would not be pr. per for me to say that he is an unfit man. am not going into partic- ulars of his public life. because it has been such a very short one. We cannot overlook the fact that a large number of people in this city and State who have m former years supported the Democratic ticket have aliepa.ed them selves and declare themselves opposed to the Democratic candidates. Let us hope that this mas been done in igno- rance of the situation Whatever errors Governor Cleveland may have committed, let us hope that the appeals Tor labor will receive consideration. Let him say, and he will probably say, that he has made mistakes.
 That Is what we should call iced con- fort.

THE Star trles to make point against Sheriff Paul for declaring that he could not find acceptable jurors in Pima to try Gibson. Sheriff Paul has per formed his duty in the Gibson case, and no one knows 1t better than the Star. That journal tries to create the impres- sion that the cost of trying the case m Florence will entail great expense to the county. It will cost the county one or two thousand dollars, but if Sheriff Paul had continued his fruitless efforts to secure a jury in Pima county it would have cost ten times that sum. Sheriff Paul has done exactly what he should have done in the case, and his ac- ton will result Tn great saving to Pima county. There is a certain clique in Tucson who are opposed of having the case tried out of Pima county. There Is au element that would like to have the trial of NIT. Gibson take place here. There are certain men in this element who would not object to serv ing on jury to try Mir. Gibson, and everybody knows what their serving would result Tn. This IS what causes the shoe to pinch, and the more the Star has to say about this matter, the better it will please the friends of Sheriff Paul.
