THE SWELL SOCIETY GIRL.
Something OF Her Way OF Living
and Manner OF Enjoying Herself
Hugely.

Ne0 York Letter.
The visitor to New York and the aver
age citizen whoworks for his living seldom
or never sees the really swell society girl
unless he catches q glimpse of her in her
box at the opera or sees her roll by in o
glittering drag once year on coaching
day." Any one more thoroughly guarded
than the girl in question ID would be
difficult to imagine. To begin with, the
season has been so much shortened of
late that she is only in New York few
months in the year. Six years ago
social festivi ties began in September and
no one thought of leaving town before
July. Nowadays fashionable people never
como home before November, and the
season is not fairly started before Deem
Der. 1t goes fast and furious for five
months, and then comes on the Coaching
clubs parade in May, which officially
closes the season.
Tho society girl runs over to England
in May and catches the London season ct
its height. About the second week of
August she goes to Newport, where she
remains till quite late in September.
Thence she journeys to her fathers
country home and Guilds up" in prepa-
ration for the New York season. She is
called a bud--a debutante--in her first
year. society girl in her second, and is
pronounced passe in her third. Her life
Is q constant series of entertainments.
She rises late in the morning, goes to 2
o'clock breakfast or luncheon In her
mothers brougham, returns in time to

back to dress for dinner and the subse-
quent opera, reception, or ball, or perhaps
all three.
At an early hour In the morning she
steps out of her carriage, wrapped to the
chin in furs, and falls YEARLY into the
arms or her maid. Her manner is very
English" 1t is fashionable just now to
be brisk, wide awake, and jolly. The
romantic girl, the novel-reading girl. the
spirituelle girl, and the accomplished"
girl are all out Of style. The girl of the
period is very bright, bit horsey, and
uncommonly attractive. If her flow of
spirits is sometimes forced and palpably
unreal, who can wonder? What would
you have? Fatigue will overtake the
strongest of us.
Eventually she marries in her own set.

money necessary for the maintenance of

A Champion Cyclone Story.


During recent tornado in Richland,
KY, farmers wife was in the summer
kitchen preparing supper, and her
daugher was in the dining room setting
the table. As the wind struck the house
the currents divided. One carried the
Kitchen two miles to an adjoining count y,
and the other deposited tho main part of
the house half mile in the opposite
direction. By a strange freak of nature
both houses were picked up by the re-
turning current and set back directly in
their former places as neatly as If the
work had been done by hand. The
women were so busily engrossed in tn cir
work that they did not notice that
anything unusual happened until their
attention had been called to u crack In

THE THIRTIETH AMI
VER8ARY.

Next Thursday is the thirtieth
anniversary of the birth of the
Republican party. The cry is that
it has lived too long. But this ut
terance, says the Record Union,
comes with i'll grace from a
party that absolutely ruled the
Union for sixty years and moulded
its destinies. There is some dis
pute as to Just who made the first
step that led to the formation of
the party-but that is immaterial.
We can very well agree that the
natal day shall be celebrated on the
7th inst. The people Of Strang,
Maine, believe the birth honor is
theirs. Many places dispute the
claim. All may have some reason
to wear the wreath of distinction.
The truth is, there was such stimuli
taneous action, by SO many in diff
ferent parts of the land, at about
the same time and in the same d.
rection, that it is quite Impossible
to say who first moved on the new
line. 1t is enough to know that
the movement was made, and that
whet her it began in Strang by
union of Temperance Democrats,
Wings and Free Soldiers, or wheth :
er it was born in the West, it
moved on to an early success after
a most prodigious growth from pull
ing infancy to a sudden maturity.
1t was enough to know that it was
born in response to the wish and
thought and heart of the nation;
that the young giant put the sword
upon his hip just in time to save
the nation, and since he slew the
Democratic Goliath the country
has known prosperity and made ad-
vancement far greater than the
most radically sanguine ever be-
lieved to be possible. The Repub-
ican party was born of the senti-
mcnt of the people in favor Of hu-
man rights, human freedom, the
union of the States, the limitation
Of slavery, and as protest against
the bullying and brow-beating Of
Southern Democrats. So it mat
tiers very little, We repeat, where its
cradle was first rocked, since the
patriotism and heart and love and
loyalty of the nation, from Maine
to Illinois, formed the loins from
which it sprung.

The old SANDER that Gen. Logan
is an illiterate man is again on its
rounds. It was started several
years ago by some reckless news
paper liar, and has been repeated
so often that a great many people
actually believe it. Logan is by
no means illiterate and uncultured.
On the contrary he is a well-edu-
Gated man, the peer of either gen
tlemen on the Democratic ticket.
He has full command of language
in his speeches and letters, and has
a strong, direct style of talking and
writing peculiarly his own. He is
forccful, because he uses the short,
crisp words of Anglo-Saxon origin,
rather than rolling, sonorous poly
eyllables of Greek and Latin deri-
Walton. His sentences are gram
NAUTICAL and forcible; they clearly
convey his ideas, and can be under
stood by al. 1t is time the weari
some lie concerning his ignorance
should be done away with.

Democratic newspapers have
been publishing statements to the
effect that Pres. Arthur will not
cheerfully support Blaine and Lo-
gan, because he failed to secure the
nomination for the Presidency. A
correspondent Of the Cleveland
Leader denies all such statements
on the authority Of Mr.. Arthur
himself. The President, who is as
well posted in politics of his own
State as any man in the country,
expressed himself as satisfied that
Cleveland cannot carry New York.
Neither can he,' said the Presi-
dent, BE elected President. Be
sides the labor party there are sew
eral ether powerful interests against
Cleveland, and all fair-minded per-
sons in New York know it and are
free to admit it." Mr.. Arthur went
on to say that, while he could net
be expected to enter the cam .2aign
as stump speaker, he would do all
in his power for the perpetuity Of
the Republican party and the sue
cess of its candidates. In this de-
sire his Cabinet are solid, and the
Democrats will find it out as soon
as the campaign begins in earnest.

covered to the depth Of about half foot

Yesterday was also the fifty-second ami.
versary OF the highest water in 1882. The
event was commemorsted in a manner
which exceeded in memorable estures the
event itself. The scenes Of the previous
day were repeated in the submerged dis
tricta, the day opening, as Thursday bad
closed, with innumerabie skitIs, John boats
and bateaux navigating the flooded streets.
The Board of Public Works had their
bateaux ferries in operation early in the
morning, and they were crowded all day.
The waters receded steadily, but not
rapidly, and large areus were still sub
merged at midnight. An extra force oi
special policemen in skias patroled the
flooded streets all night.
The meeting at the Third ward school
house yesterday systematized the work OF
relief, and apportioned it among the yari-

work Of alleviating suffering went on, men
sacrificing personal interests, comfort and

Providence has prospered Wheeling,
aud saved her from disasters which have
fallen on other communities. Now is our
time to lend 10 the Lord by giving to the
poor-poor to-day, whatever may have
been their condition four days ago. In
alter years, when this terrible calamity
shall be recalled, lot it be said that Wheel
ug helped herself out Of the slough. It is
no lA!se pride that suggests the feeling,
expressed on every llaud, that we ought
not to accept assistance from The outside
until We have exhausted our own re.
s0nfres. The distress in this valley will be
great, and We must not tako from others
what they may need more than We do.
