RE WASHINGTON SUMNER GIRL
Row She Enjoys Lifs-The Ssgacious Col.
oretI Nan OF the Capital.

Row She Enjoys Kifs-The Ssgacious Col
oretI Man OF the Capital.
Tho Washington summer girl appears with
tho June bug and di1Appoars when the first
cold wave banishcs tho other ephcmera. You
never sce her in winter; no hothousc exotic Il
she, grazing the gurmam or teas Of swelldom,
but blossom ncvcrtheloR You sec her in
tho morning strolling parkward, novel in
hand, vision Of lawn and ribbon and lace,
with the dcnurcst Of faces In tho shade Of the
broad-brmmed hat; yet as you pass you
catch fash Of roguish eye; they arc mis-
chievous, these summer girls In Washington
park. At noon you miss her from the high
way; the Clare stands not In her complexion's
favor. But as the sun sinks low behind the
Georgetown spires, and benevolent wind
gambols up from tho Chesapeake to fan the
city, the summer girls como again from their
lair, dainticr and more dangerous than ever
all styles, sizes and ages, fat and skinny, long
and short, red headed, blonde and bruno, from
gawky Is to kittenish 3O-every blessed one Of
them in a white dress tied with satin sash,
and carrying red or yellow parnsol. Every
park and public square swarms with them,
and Connecticut avenue is q living river of
reckless Irritation from half an hour after the
treasury has broken loose until the young
moon swings her FURNISHED crescent from a
chatelaine of stars. Then the darkies take pos
session of the squares, and are thicker than
rabbits in the shrubbery.
The Washington darby is a cross between
the plantation species and the variety which
infests Saratoga. He has struck wonderful
combination of business ability and chronic
laziness, and can accumulate more quarters
and do less work than any other darby on the
hemisphere. The haughtiest and most nimble
darby is, of course, found in the hotels, where
long and constant practice enables him to
fleece the stranger with an ease and grace
which would put our most enlightened bunco
steerers to blush. Washington hotel darlsies
have a freemasonry which is of great adj
vantage. You ring for ice water. darby
appears and ministers to your arctic want
with breezy activity which shows plainly
that he expects at least quarter. You give
the quarter and cunningly resolve to get ice
water free for at least four days.
Next time you ring another darby appears,
and you are caught for another quarter. Pay
a darby to take message, and you may rely
on a second darby bringing you the answer,
and he will brush all the nap off your coat in
less than minute if the quarter be not forth
coming. Ask the way to the cigar stand,
drug store or bar-a darby will conduct you
the entire distance, and linger in atfable con-
versation-until you succumb. Not includ-
ing darkies, the popular hotel rate in Wash
ington is 81 day; but you can safely count
on double that, unless you stay in your room,
bolt the door and shoot the first darby that
climbs over the transom.- ashington Cor

that Has Isecomo OF lt?.The Coionia
| Descendant and the Immigrant
Tho question arises, what has become O
tho onco active colonial race-descendants O
| Catavian and Anglo-Saxon-who 10 ardently
sought their chartered privileges under Gov
ernor Dongan, and, finally, were among TIN
first to assert their right to them, IN arms
| The Bavarian, the Anglo-Saxon, the French
| and other nationaltics that colonized the city
have disappeared under climatic influences
and race admixturc; and although tho Anglo
Saxon is the controlling parental stock, dis
tinct colonial type has resulted. The type
according to many observers, is fast disalp
pcaring, or ia still in the throes OF acclimatiza
ton, there not having been sufficient en-
durance in it to reach the state of renatural
iZation.
Tho characteristics Of the colonial race, as
continued to our day, distinguish the present
colonial Now Yorker of three or four genera
tons descent from the colonial Anglo-Saxol
ancestor, as much as the latter is distinct
from the Latin races Such deviation is up
parcnt in the physical, mental, and, perhaps
moral attribute of the new race, and also in
its lingual expression. It requires but q
Glance to distinguish the colonial descendant,
physically, from the race ancestors. Tho neck
has become elongated, the hair is darker and
straichter, the bones arc smaller, the jaws, or
fowls, have become contracted, the normal
rulsc is quicker, the voice higher, the CON-
plcxion dry and pale: and, above all, tie
mower of nourishing the species has materially
diminished. So pronounced are these changes
that there are anthropologists who consider
them signs of race degradation and of an ap-
preaching extinction, which can only be pre-
vented by continual admixture from more
robust sources. II the purity Of a race blood
is essential to natural bodily and mental
viror, as some contend, than the dominance
of the New Highlander, through more pure
Anglo-Saxon descent, may be cited as an ex-
ample.
Under the small increase in the numbers of
the descendants of the original settlers, the
city of New York is practically in the hands
of others, and the ancient colonial element is
being rapidly eliminated, or, at least, has lost
prominence. The city of New York is now
Indirectly, if not directly, ruled by immi-
grants or the sons of immigrants While the
invasion of New England thrift and pertin-
acity have placed the New Highlander COM
paratively at the head of its commercial, and
of very much Of its professional life, those of
immediate Irish blood are practically the
political power It is natural that the for
cign element should keep rule, if they have
the enterprise to grasp it, and when the door
is left wide open; and the descendants of the
ancient inhabitants must often bear the rule
even, at times, of those morally unfit for
power, if they are unwilling or unable to con-
tend with the more aggressive races-J. w.

"Palace Cars" Made TO,

"Palace Cars" Made for Racehorses.
Most of the big horsemen own their
own cars and transport their stables in
them. They are palace" cars, finely made,
and fitted up with stalls and every convent
ence One of these cars will carry from
twelve to sixteen horses. The railroads
charge eight cents mile fur hauling the cars
and special rate for the horses, about the
same as for passenger Before we ship any
of these horses the owner has to sign a con-
tract that, in the event of an accident, he
will not claim more than 800 for each horse
that is injured. We had some trouble occa-
sionally before this agreement was in vogue.
The owner would claim the full value of a
racehorse-say S20,0O0-if he was killed or
disabled; but he can't do that now. The
railroad don't make much out of the horse
owners, but they do well out of the people
who travel to see the races.-Railroad Man

Have We a Tax Law2

Pack, Woods & Co.. of Oscoda re
fused to pay their taxes In, this town
ship. The'treasurer levied on a lot of
logs and advertised them for sale.
The firm applied to Judge futile for
an injunction which was granted. The
treasurer through Pros Atty. Main ] !.
Connine moved TO have the INJUNCTION
dissolved which was denied. Petition
was at once made to the supreme
court for writ OF mandamus, but the
consideration of the petition was re-
refused by that body in the language
OF the Oh If Jus'e, because the bill in
chancery AMI the petition of relator
raise constitutional questions which
we would prefer to decide upon on ap-
peal of the case rather than upon the
interlocutory proceeding by madamus.
The taxes throughout the entire State
for the year 1885 may be involved.
This leaves the matter to be first de
cided in the circuit before decision OF
the supreme court can be obtained, and
this will consume more time than in
teIvenes before the returns of town
ship treasurer must be made. We hope
the matter will be followed until the
question Is decided.
