A Fatal Stroke OF Lightning.



The following account Of the death by
lightning Of VIII 5. Davie, formerly Of
this city, is from the Upton Rec0rd :.
"Last saturday morning most sad and
hearlrending scene WAS enacted near the
mountain. In the morning the little
family Of viii Davie arose from their
beds happy aud full OF hope, ate their
breakfast, and each engaged IN their daily
duties and pleasures-the children 20
their play, the mother 20 her household
duties, the father 20 his farm. About . or
10 O'Clock the air became close and sultry,
and Omlnous clouds were rapidly gather

THE AMERICAN GIRLl.
Characteristic Development OF the Sex
as Witnessed at bar HarbOr.


Robert Grdnt, IN Outtng.
The American CIR, is neither mercenary
nor material. Her knowledge of human
nature does not ordinarily deter her from
ideality. Nor is the ''futur" she enshrines
in her Imagination any the less inspiring
because his physical properties are hazy.
Like girls all the world over, she cher
ishes this form of ideal, but she is so alb
sorbed in her earnestness TO realize per-
feet soul that, unlike her Gallo kins-
woman, she rarely dreams Of a moustache
or definite pair Of legs.
Her fearlessness and self-reliauce are
also traits that command attention. Ac-
custOmed to be served and waited upon
by men with more consideration than in
any other society, she is yet less depend
ent upon surveillance. She has a won
derful faculty of forecastng circum-
stances and understanding how far she
can act independently without hazard. 1
remember being struck at Bar lIarbOr by
the response Of a girl of lS, who was Ques-
toned as to the prudence Of having spent
most Of the day and evening on the water
with young man who was almost a
stranger. son." she answered, tile canoe
itself is a great protection"
Bar HarbOr is theatre we'll chosen for
the free play Of these traits. AS most
people know, it possesses exceptional
natural beauties, both of seacoast and in
terror The walks and drives are at
tractive and various, and the smooth sur
face Of the Island-dotted bay is admirably
adapted for boating. All the elements
that make up the place are opposed to
artIfciality. The very air is superabund-
ant with ozone. The host of young peO-
pie that alighted at Mt.Desert, like vast
flock of doe birds, within few years of
It's discovery as an available resort, EN-
phasized a silent protest against the con-
ventional customs hitherto limiting their
relations. II marriage is woman's whole
existence, let her have the opportunity to
choose intelllgently, and to obtain more
than ballroom impression of him upon
whose character the happiness Of her life
is to be mainly dependent. This was the
keynote Of the movement, and as a corol-
larry thereto the cOmpaniOnship Of maiden
hood was advocated as refining influence
on young men. At this new departure the
old nations shook their heads and
shrugged their shoulders.
The intimacy established between mar
riageable young folk is the great feature
of life at the HarbOr. The emancipation
OF women has been affected thereby in
sense much more satisfactory to them as
Il sex than any DILL of political rights
could accomplish. PerfunctOrily spoken
of in other civilizations as the com panion
of man, she has demonstrated her right to
the designation. She has insisted on
knowing the world from other standp0ints
than merely the nursery or the cOtlllion.
She has learned 10 discuss and to form
opinions. She no longer permits herself
10 be put of the track ia her pursuit
after truth by amiable legends invented
for her benefit. In brief, she thinks for
herself,

rOsIrIoN on NM PREsIpENT

The President is not disposed to take an
active part in the shaping Of the work Of
the convention. The attempt of his pre-
decessOr, Arthur, and the political ava
lanche which swept Foger out of sight as
a consequence, is regarded as "A sufficient
warning. The active efforts of Secretary
Manning will, however. be construed to
mean the wishes of the administration
and will draw the lines all the same.
Secretary Whitney, who has been in New
Y FORK good deal Of late, has been doing
some quiet work shaping the prelimi-
naries. 1t is expected by the time
the presidential party get their
hooks fairly baited with Adirondack
grubs the great and small fry will
be ready to bite. Secretary Manning evil

and the results of the campaign are or
vital Importance, not only to the admin
istration but to his own ascendancy IN
State politics. Should he fail to swing
the machine the recalcitranG element
throughout the country, as represented In
Congress, will show no mercy. The pres
tige OF success in New York will keep the
disgruntled people down, and the admin
istratiOn can then 90 on with its attempts
to rehabilttate the old Democratic party
on the basis of new material and will be
able TO carry out its ideas Of administra-
tive reforms in its own way.

GONE FAR ENOUGH.

It was admitted that the President has
felt that he has gone far enough with ap-
pOintments and changes TO indicate, in a
measure. just what his ideas are in refer
ence TO the proper view of the civil GER
Vice, that it is not a place Of rewards for
political work, but trust in which the
interests Of the government, and through
1t the people, are at stake. The success
OF the administration over the political
bummers in New VIII solve one
important problem 1t will be
the Endorsement Of the Presidents course,
Defeat, however, will not change his
plans. The President naturally would
rather carry out his reforms with the APP
prevail and aid of his party The Adiron-
dack fishing party Will therefore prove an
eyeutful occasion before II is over. No
more changes Of Importance, except for
cause, Will be made until the popular
verdict shall have been rendered in No
vember. With this announcement the
New York oflice-hunters might as well
turn thoir thoughts TO the success of the
cAmpaign.

SIGNIFICANT FRIENDS,

The President will take few friends
with him, and Secretary Manning will
not be far away at the proper time. The
contending and rival factions of New
York, each catering itself that it alone
is Indispensable to party success, and
that any favor shown the other win re-
suit in defeat, will be treated to another
case of cold comfort. Secretary Manning
has not been idle, politically speaking,
and before the President shall have been
long casting his fly in the Adirondack
lakes the general outline OF the New York
slate viii have been settled. The drift of
comments in administration circles does
not pOnttO anyencOuTagement OF the can
didacies OF either GOV. Hill or Representa-
tive Flower. The party most kindly
spoken of is Mayor Banks, Of Albany.
The friends Of the other candidates, it is
understood here, are manwuyering from
that premise, and will try TO head the
movement OFF by combinations on new
man, if they cannot beat Banks with
their own choice.

f'f' tfto Z tffttrtffNttf AtfteN
ASHINGroN, July l9.-lt Is apparent
from the conversations of close friends
that the President in his trip for recrea-
ton and rest will have ''some other fish to
fry" than those he may angle from the
crystal lakes Of the Adirondacks. The
Chief Magistrate is somewhat worn out
with listening to the threadbare plants
and pleas of the politicians and office
hunters. He has gwen them three months
Of his time and, as he remarked the other
day. lit is about time This uuseemly camOr
were stopped" Notwithstanding the an
nouncement that he would make no more
appointments, EXCEPT in the regular order
OF business, Tor some time, the politicians
linger about the hotels and continue to
make their diurnal invasiOns, Saturdays
and Sundays excepted, Of the Executive
Mansion.

NOT SATISFIED WITH NEW york.

The party managers in New York are
not quite satisfied with the outlook, ana
have been trying to get a word in on the
state nominations and campaign, but
without success, owing to the intoerable
persistencY of men who take advantage
of their positions to annoy the President
with useless visits. While the Adiron-
dack region has long been a favorite resort
Of the President, it il also the bone OF bis
close friend, Smith NJ. Weed, who resides
in beautiful mansion on the banks Of
Lake Champlaln, at Plattsburg. This
is also the home OF William NJ. Smith.
Mr.. Weeds partner in business, and
one of the shrewdest and most active
Democratic managers in the state. His
activity on the State committee and as
sOciatiGns with Dir. Manning in the late
campaign tested his value. When the
presidential piscatorial expedition gets
fairly settled on the shores of one Of those
sparkling sheets Of water which bedeck
the weird fastnesses of this lofty member
of the Appalachian chain, it may happen
that Mayor Banks, of Albany, Mayor
Grace, of New York, and some others
equally select may want to go a-fishing,
and no locality will be so accessible or,
the fish so fine as in the AdirOndacks.
