New Dances.

The Professors. after having consider
ed a score of round dances that had
been submitted to them. decided upon
adopting only four of them. Two of
the favored ones are round and two
square dances.
The round dances are said to be per-
fecty intoxicating in their loneliness,
and the man who cannot dance them
should make up his mind that he was
intended for hitching-post, not q
waltzer.
The first was evolved from the lively
brain of Prof. James Brooks of Pitts
burg. Pa. 1t is called the American
gavot, and is set to polka music. 1t
combines the best features of the polka
with those of the polka redowa. Its eff
feet is SO powerful that the orchestra
musicians sometimes throw down their
tiddles and rush upon the floor 10 join
the maddening whirl.
The other round dance is patriotical-
ly christened the Columbia, and the
girls prefer it to ice-cream with soda
water trimmings. 1t was carved out of
the brain of Prof S. ID. Sphinx of Proyi-
dence, r. L., and it is expected to be-
come the favorite dance this season.
The Columbia is entirely new and is a
combination of trois temps and the
waltz to schottische music. Men with
wooden legs are especially advised not
TO attempt this innovation.
One of the square dances is called the
Octagon, and it is as complicated as the
account book of a young lady who has
been on shopping expedition. 1t is a
double quadrille, with figures and music
entirely new. Prof. II. C. Rivers of
Brooklyn was the ingenious architect of
the Octagon, and if he were to run for
Mayor of Brooklyn the girls would cast
a solid vote for him.
The court quadrille also passed muster
and met the appreciation of the Profes-
sors. Prop. Sphinx of Providence lay
awake nights thinking over it, and its
effect is as enhancing as y gallon of
opium.
1t is danced by eight couples and has
lots of crazy-quilt movements, while the
music is particularly fine. Everything
in it is new and the dancers are expect
ed to wear new swallow-tail suits and
ballroom dresses. 1t promises to be as
catching as the cholera, and thousand
times more popular. York journal.

An Adventure in Railway Carriage

l lately heard of an adventure that
happened to two English ladies who
were on their way to Paris from Lon
don. They took the night train from
Boulogue, and found themselves alone
in the compartment. They speedily
dropped asleep. but before long of them
was aroused by peculiar grating or
boring sound that seemed to come from
underneath the seat opposite to her.
Fancying that it was caused by some
tritling arrangement of the car wheel
on the axle, she at first paid no atten-
ton to it. but as the noise persisted and
at last grew louder, she resolved to in
vestigate its cause. Lifting up the
heavy cloth flap that hangs in front of
each seat in French car, she saw with
amazement and alarm that some one in
the next car was boring group of holes
with large auger in the partition
under the seat. She aroused her sister,
and they both shrieked for help as loud
ly as possible, but without obtaining
any response. Meanwhile the work
went on, and the entrance of the work
man into their car appeared to be the
question of very short space of time.
but fortunately Tor the ladies the tram
stopped at a station before the unknown
had effected his purpose, and they fled
precipitately to take refuge in another
compartment. Unfortunately they
could neither of them speak French, so
they were unable to explain to the con-
ductor the cause of their sudden change
of cars, and it was not till they arrived
at Paris that they found an official who
could speak English and to whom they
told their tale. On investigation the
hole was found, having been made
sufficiently large to admit of the pas
sage of a full-grown person from one
car to another, but naturally the in
dividual who constructed it made his
escape. Had those ladies fallen into
heavy sleep, as often happens to per-
sons who travel by night, what would
have been their fate?-Mrs. Hoopers

SEELEY's LECTURE. The lecture on

in Hyde's Hall by Captain Seeley is
pronounced by those who heard him
one of the finest ever delivered in our
hall. The audience was small and the
efforts of the Tom Cox Post were poorly
Smith ever related to much bored
audience the experiences of the "Yank

the inclination has been to fight shy of
possible Frank Smith. But the lee
turer of Saturday evening is one of the
ablest speakers in the country and a
large audience should have greeted his
appearance.

GRIswoLD VS. FRY.-A suit for un-

Baldwin last Friday and Saturday, Last
year Esq. Richie, leased to Thomas
Fry farm IN the town of Liberty. The
lease was for three years with the con-
dition that the lease should terminate
upon the selling of the farm before the
end of the three years, Richie to pay
Fry reasonable damages for vacating,
but no provisions for settling or deter
mining the damages. Lately Esq.
Richie sold the farm to Ira w. Girls

which Richie said was unreasonable
and refused to pay, so Fry refused to
yacate. Griswold brought suit against

decided against him, leaving the affair
badly mixed. The suit was attended

ing of the nature of the commissions
which occurred here last night has ever
been heard of. On this strange night
the photographs in front of Van de
Wallis took to themselves wings and
rested in front of the post-office; the
barber pole danced into the court yard
and the sign bearing the device Dye
ing Done Here transported itself TO
Barber & McNair's drug store and took
its station there, while the table and the
boilers followed after. Implicit trust in
the prescription clerk alone induced the
people to enter under that fatal sign.

themselves without the aid of horses.

How THE COLLISION OCCURRED
Sam. Clifford, conductor on the narrow
gauge, gives the following explanation
on the way in which the mistake was
made which caused the collision of the
Lancaster and Milwaukee passenger
with the wild engine: Kelly, the engin-
eer of the wild engine, had no orders,
except to run as wild and meet No. 2
on time. No. rs time at Riley's is
1910, Pine Bluff 1905, Mt. Horeb 1855.
When Kelly got to Riley's he took the
time of No. ? az Mt. Horeb by mistake
for that at Pine Bluff, and supposed he
had fifteen minutes to go . miles.
Mr.. Clifford says that Mr.. Kelly pulled
his train for about year, and while he
can but admit that the charge of care
lessness is q just one, he does not think
he should be spoken of as RECKLESS
railroader.'' Mistakes will be made so
long as railroad business is done by
mortals, and while in individual cases
sympathy and charity should be shown,
nothing will so conduce to carefulness
as the knowledge that carelessness is
criminal.

He would never take more than his fair

an extremely stormy night, when his au-
dience was only an average, that I handed
him Si25 in a roll, saying, "Your fee, Mr..

We're your receipts last nightfn I told him
that we did not rely on casual tickets, but
on course tickets sold beforehand. He
opened the roll, put $50 in his pocket, and
handed back the rest, saying: my bnsi-
ness is to assist, not to DESTROY His
habits were those of courteous, unobtru-
sive interest in every person and enter
prise. He never forgot an intelligent host
or hostess; but years after meeting they
would receive from him some rememr
brancer, in the way of a book, or picture, or

tho sraoklyn bridge After Dark

The best evenings exercise | know OF
for a man who likes to walk is a stroll
across the Brooklyn bridge and back.
There is ozone enough in the trip to insure
anyone a healthy sleep and an appetite for
breakfast. 1t is about two miles over and
back, with Il superb track to walk on, and
half the distance is a magnificent pano,
rama. The river above the bridge, with its
wharf and ferry lights in all colors, clust-
ering as close as f~lretiies, is like Venice at
carnival time, The black harhor below
the bridge, with its glimmering ships
light here and there, is ii mine of roman
tic mystery. New York itself, with the
ghostly thinner of the electric lights light
ing the sky over it, is another picture to
remain long in the memory. Still another
memorable me is the perspective of the
bridge itself, from tower to tower, with
the huge cables and the interiacing sup
ports and guy wires, all sharply outlined
in white against the black sky, converg-
ing to the point of sight like an immense
