EX-PRESIDENT ARTHUR.
How He Spends His Time-His Profess
sional and Social Duties.
Ne,o York Cor. Utica Observer,

Nco York Cor. Utica Observer.
Ex-President Arthur had none of the prevail
ing Anglomania, so far as know, and yet he was
strictly English in the style of his wiskers and
the longings of his appetite. Before his election
to the Vice Presidency he used to eat most of his
midday luncheons in down town chop house of
the London sort and since his return to private
citizenship have seen him several times over
bis steak or chop and Bass in the same old place.
Arthur has not yet appeared in court in resump-
ton of his law practice, but he is regularly in the
offices of his firm, and the understanding is that
his services are in fair demand. Having been
the Collector of the Port, and therefore familiar
with the laws and usages Of the Custom House,
he expects to strike right into remunerative cases
involving importers troubles. That there was a
difference of opinion as to what share of the firm
profits he deserved was proved by the fact that
up to within few days of the issue of a circular
announcing the CO. partnership the other memb ers
declared positively that he would not re-enter the
concern.
Socially Mr.. Arthur is leading a quiet life.
Many have been curious to see whether he would
resume hail-fellowship with some of the local
politicians with whom he used to be cronies, for
it was known that his ofishness toward them
while in the White House had angered them.
The upshot seems to be that he has kept up his
close friendship with the dozen polite and cultur
ed men out of the lot, and has dropped the mere
heelers, with whom his relations were never any
thing aside from the machinery of political con-
troll. He spends some of his evenings congenially
in the Union League Club, the members of which
stood by him pretty firmly in his campaign for a
denomination; he goes to the theatres once in a
while always sitting behind the drapery of a pri-
vate box; and he has been at the Jerome Park
horse races, where I saw him win fifty dollars one
day on a chance risk of ten.

A Scene In the Country.

The Newtown (Pa.) Enterprise of a recent
date says: "a comedy maiden was standing
in lane, facing fence thereof. Her body
was swathed in sackcloth, and sunbonnet, not
ashes, was on her head. But peculiar twist of
the flap of that sunbonnet prevented our rural
collector from seeing her face, presumably sweet
one. In her fair right hand (encased in an old
glove) was grasped whitewash brush. She was
whitewashing the lane fence. twenty-five panels
had been finished, nineteen more to be done, and
an untouched fence looked upon her from the
other side. She was not dismayed. 1t was Tues
day, and the day previous the family washing
had been done. Three more days of solid white
washing might finish the task, and Saturday
could be devoted to cooking the Sunday dinner
and to rest. On Sunday evening the bright new
spar-spring will come down the lane, containing
the adored of her heart. He will see that fence,
and verify, her labor will have its reward. The
Young man who has brains, aspiration, &C., will
20 for that kind of girl. Such girl will have
three offers of marriage to the slim school teachers
one, and will marry and raise flock to be edu-
Gated and cared for by the single teacher atore-
said. Such, my brethren, is one of the incidents
to be met with in wandering over the county"
Baltimore county is full of just such girls, and
if you have any doubts about it, just start out as
a rural collector of news and you will soon see
that what we say is correct.

WASHINGTON F1FTY-sIx YEARS AGO.

Those who know anything about Washington
tations from rare little work on etiquette at
Washington" which shows how many of the same
customs and habits that prevailed there fifty
years ago are still noticeable in the Capital city
"The fashion of dress at Washington is less
uniform than in any other fashionable place in
the United States. The assemblage of so many
fashionable people from every part Of our own
country, as well as a great number of dstin-
guished fashionable people from most parts Of
Christendom, many Of whom are so tenacious of
their own fashions that they carry more or less of
them into whatever strange country they may go
to-, which brings together such variety of fash
| ions of dress that at the commencement of the
session of Congress it is difficult to ascertain
which of them is the most prevailing for at the
first of the Presidents levees and other great
parties of fashion there may not appear four ladies
in all respects in the same mode but if there hap
pen to be two or three from any one of the most
| fashionable and large commercial towns, the sim
ilarty Of the prevailing fashion of their own city
will only appear.
Sometimes the fashion of the residence Of
each may be readily ascertained, without know
| ing what will ultimately be the prevailing fash
| ion at Washington at the close Of the session OF
Congress, for on that they appear to agree dur
| ing the session, as is done in national affairs.
"Most of the strangers leave Washington short
| ly after the session of Congress adjourns. The
officers of the general government, and frequent
| ly the foreign ministers, remain until after the
Fourth of July, when most of those who can be
| spared, and possess the pecuniary means, leave
the city, and the President of the United States
| generally sets the travelling example. The Presi-
dents most commonly visit their former places of
| residence every summer during the warm season,
and the others to various parts, generally, how
ever, northwardly to some of the celebrated min
eral or fashionable springs, and other watering
places.
"Many of the private citizens who possess the
| means spend their summers at the North, which
| is daily growing more and more fashionable, to
the great pleasure and less the interest of the
New Workers and Bostonians, where their polite
and affabIe manners encourage strangers to spend
much of their time, and what is no less pleasing,
much of their money"

Attention to Details.

The Herald of Health suggests that health,
like success in ife is to be gained by paying at
tention to details 1t is better to try to keep from
catching cold than to be always trying to avoid
infection. More can be done to check cholera by
keeping houses clean than by using tons of dis
infectants. Nature gives health. 1t is mans
perversity in departing from Natures teaching
that leads to disease. Nature intended all to
have fresh air sufficient plain food, uncontamina-
ted water, and exercise. Let us accept Natures
bequest, if we prefer health to disease.

Cowboy Fun.

81 shall never forget an experience
of mine in Montana a little over two
years ago." said Brakeman Schultz, of
the Northern Pacific. '.There were
Andrews, the conductor; Wylie, the
engineer; Colby, the fireman, and m y
self running No. 3 passenger on the
Montana division, and one night
about dark we were getting out OF
Miles City, when a red light was seen
by the engineer, and he stopped the
train. just as it stopped about doz-
en- cowboys, logged up in full uniform,
each with brace of revolvers in his
belt, got into the coaches, while few
more guarded the engine. L knew
trouble was coming as soon as l saw
them get on, and [ took seat among
the passengers. The conductor did
not appear at first to realize that any
thing was wrong, but went to the for
ward part of the coach, when half a
dozen of the buckskin-clad boys grab
bed him and set him upon the coal
box. He protested, but the boys paid
no attention other than to tell him not
to move finger, as they were going
to shoot the heels of his boots off. /
rather enjoyed the fun, though lay
mighty close, fearing that they would
notice me, but they didn't before the
conductor was short the heels of his
boots. He was white as Snowflake,
but he held up bravely, fearing mis-
calculated shot. Then they caught
me and tied me and passenger back
to back and set us over a seat, and
then commenced betting among them
selves which would pull the other
over. The stakes were put up, and
then two of them got prongs and be-
gan touching us up with them. The
fellow had pitted against me was a
Swede, and neither of us had any show
to pull the other over; then resorted
to stratagem, and when they gave
the Swede a prong and he jumped
about a foot, pulled hard and he
came flying over the seat, and went so
far over that he nearly broke my
back. We were loosened then, and
they took the Swede's boots off and
stood him on his head, and then played
the bastinado ON the soles of his feet.
Well, you'd died laughing to hear that
poor fellow below. entreat, pray, and
cuss those cowboys, and, although my
legs were smarting from some dances
1 got, L just roared. After they had
done enough mischief they shot out
the lights, and left the train. "-St

The Perfect Bartender.

A gentleman whose nose had the
ruddy hue which is sometimes ascrlbed
to the lavish absorption of spirits lean
ed familiarly over the bar of an up
town cafe as he said:
sPerfect bartenders are rare. 1t
! takes as much genius to run bar
satisfactorily as it does to become
lawyer. Of course, I do not say what
kind of lawyer. but will say fair
ly good lawyer. This is a busy age
we live in, and men do not IKE to take
unnecessary trouble. l have often
noticed crowd of men who walked
into a barroom chatting agreeably,
and who have been utterly broken up
an andknocked endwise by the questions
of stupid bartender. Right in the
midst of good story, or just as the
point of some good anecdote has been
arrived at, the stupid bartender gets
the orders mixed up and has to ask
everybody over again or forgets what
you ordered. He interrupts you without
the slightest compunction OF con-
science, and the whole of your story
is knocked in the head. He never
remembers the sort of drink you like,
forgets your name, gives you Fichy
instead of seltzer to mix with your
liquor, and makes you feel under GER
tain restraint while you are near him.
He is almost as bad as the very flip
pant bartender, who places his knuc-
kles- on the bar, leans forward, smiles
sweetly, and says, Whats your pleas
ure, gentlemen?' before you have had
time to draw your breath or come to
full stop.
81 tell you good bartender is IL
hnc I l.
from business with an independent
fortune. He has gone owes to Europe
to see the country, and will keep his
eye peeled, and if any large opportuni-
ty is floating around loose there he
can be depended upon to gather 1t n.
There are great many men who con-
slider drinking worthy of culture and
intelligent study, just as a great many
epicures cease eating oysters and take
to eating CLANS on the 1st OF June.
They drop whisky cocktails on the 1st
of June and take to whisky punches.
This perfect bartender OF whom |
speak had heard me remark about
Christmas time-he was then keeping
bar in a well-known uptown hotel
that it was my custom to change my
drinks ON the 1st of June, just as it was
other men S custom to 60 from oysters
to clans; and when l walked in on the
1st of the month of roses l was startled
and pleased to have him put up 4 whis-
XIV punch on the bar instead of the
hotter concoction. This was many
years ago, but l knew then that that
man would succeed. He was quiet,
gentlemanly, and never forgota name,
and hung up drinks with such defer,
ence and respect that even pronounced
beats made it point to pay him. They
did not humiliate bartenders IN those
days with any of these patent, bell
ringing, seif-checking, automatic de-
tectors, and we all rejoiced to see
Billy start q place of his own before
he had been in the business two years.
Until he gave up the business he al
ways worked behind the ba-. don't
think this is because he distrusted any
of his bartenders, but because he
thought so much of having his custom
ers well served that he could net de-
pend upon any one but himself. "-Ne0
