together home to dinner, thus giving
them an opportunity to talk and exchange
friendly salutations, and carries them so
quickly, too, that they do not stay long

0Air she In Ernist.O

from the New Haven ReR,ster.J
The United States mail continues to
float on and into the pocket OF "Miss
s. D. M" ,"the Gravesend L. l., young
woman at the Tontine Hotel, scores of
delicious epistles from beardless youths
and aged sires who have felt the warm
ing fires of love kindled in the breast
by the account of the fair maiden's ef-
fort to net q husband with the aid of her
self, her iron mine bonds, wild western
land cattle, and her two smoke brindle
steers. The reports of the young
maidens efforts were widely copied,
and as q result streams of burning love-
letters are hourly tossed upon the ta-
BILE, where they fairly siss and palpitate
with the quintescence of love.
Miss s. D. NJ. is is in no wise dis
couraged by these impassioned attacks
of old and young alike upon herself and
money bags. On the other hand, she
keeps cool head, although some of the
missives are so brimming with tender
love as to inadvertently, perhaps, force
the rosy blush of pleasure to her ivory
brow. She is thoroughly in earnest in
the husband angling, and OF the great
mass of letters received twenty
four will be selected by her and these
will afterwards be sorted down to one
dozen. These twelve "best" will then
be summoned to New Haven, where the
Gravesend maid will receive them all,
holding levee, and then determining
which shall be the lucky man.
All the envelopes show that the ap-
picants for the girls hand are greatly
in earnest. A New Haven writer, whose
orthogrsphy is most horrible in every
particular and who evidently stepped
into an ink vat aud then tramped
around on his letter, writes:

Unbalanced Exercises.
From the Brccklvn Eaele. !


The history of the Olympic games
has moral, which may still be useful
to the gymnasts of later and more
civilized age. It is this: Exercise
should be general, not particular, unless
for particular defect. Socrates in that
republic which nowhere was, nor in all
probability will be, said he would not
labor like those who run in the race
course, that he might make his legs
strong while bis shoulders and other
parts of his body remained weak, nor
only as pugiist to make his shoulders
strong, nor caring for his legs, but 80
that by exercising all his limbs ali might
receive proportional increase in agility
and strength. The observation may
well apply, not only to dispropor+ion-
ate exercise of any part of the body in
comparison with the whole, but to .
disproportionate exercise of the mind
in comparison to the body. Pbilers, of
Cos, says an old writer, was very skill
full in making he1ameters. He was also
said to be healthy, but he was 80 singu-
larly thin that, against danger or iniu =
from a high wind, lest he should be
overthrown or carried away by it, he
was obliged to fo'tify his feet by lead.
This distressing instance of partial
culture may be objected to as apocry-
phal or myth, but = walk in the coun-
try will teach us the same lesson, though
in less startling and incredible man

STORM AND FLOOD.

Heavy Damage Dene BY Rains In
Tho south ~ EST.
Considerable apprehension is felt
along the Mississippi in Arkansas from
the recent heavy rains. Up to the 29th,
rain had fallen almost continuously for
four days, the amount ranging from ten
to fourteen inches. All the rivers and
bayous are rapidly rising and breaks are
reported in all directions. Railway
traffic is suspended by washouta, and
large sections of country are under wa
ter. The Iron Mountain road is under
several feet ct water for long distance
at Benton, and the bridge near Emmett
is too weak for use. On the Little Rock
& Fort Smith travel is suspended by
breaks at Marche and near Clsrksville.
The rainfall has been heavy all along
the White River Valley, inundating
plantations in many places. Nearly all
the ice is out of the Mississippi, and
navigation has been resumed.

seemed to be lonesome we entered into
conversation with him. he was charm

his society very much, as also he ap-

l never met him anywhere else except
at meal times, and therefore had no op-

This afternoon I saw him sitting over
there by the window, smoking cigar

him and said: "A very unpleasant after
