The eouistreanship was excellent: the bare
back riding being perhaps the best in any
show in the country. The elephant race
and the pony express were quite amusing,
but the Mexican vaqueros and Texas cow

cake.

How the New York NabObs Get
Rid of Money.


Joe Howard in Boston Globe.
Ascertained expenses as a rule are
not burdensome, it is the constant
reiteration OF costs ofhospitality that
tells in the end. If Mr.. Gould goes
with his family alone in his beautiful
steamer along the coast, or penetrates
with sharpened prov the phosphores-
cent waves of the Atlantic to any con-
siderable distance, the expense is com.
paratively meager, but if he takes a
company from here to- Newport, from
thence to New London, and back
again and around to- Martha's Vine
yard and New Bedford, compelled
all the time to, have in readi-
ness a menu admirably selected
and lavishly supplied, with cui-
sine already to command and a high
salaried chef, which, latter, by the
way, means all the way from $4,000
to 5000 a year.. this would involve
considerable money. asyou can read
lily see. Four hundred or $500 day
would slip away as easily a. fireman
down patent slide.
Look at the country homes, such g.
one as is occupied by Phelps in New
Jersey, by young Vanderbilt, by May
or Grace on Long Island, by any one
OF a score Of men to- whom $500, 900
a year is natural cost, not of living,
but Of entertaining: In, the first place
they keep literally open house, with a
dozen guest chambers, we'll furnished,
with retinue OF servants, male and
female, with. frst-class cocks, with no
regular hours for: meals except the
dinner. Breakfast; lunch, and supper
always on the tap, as it were. With
stables literally filled: with horses for
driving and horses for riding, and with
grooms and coachmen to attend to
them all. Can't you readily see how
the" expenditures OF such house as
that runs up to 81, 900, $1,000, or
$4,000 week.
I: doubt very much ii any such
lavlshness OF expenditure attends the
summer life Of people who are born to
comfort, to whom the Thousand and
one delicacies and elegancies that at
tend the routine expenses Of Ito do
Americans are as natural as water to
a. spring.
We are considering the living of q
GLASS of men, a GLASS gradually but
surely growing, which finds it's pleas
ure: in ostentation; in display, and
ut1lizes hospitality as it's chief lnstru-
ment, along that highway OF extrav'
agance, and, I think, nonsense.

MISSING.

A sailors yarn you'd like to have me spin?
Sit down, shpmate; here, off Nantucket
coast
i was the Captain of the Abel Gwynn
That stormy year the Mary Lee was lost
Her Captains name was William Henry
Court,
A gallant and careful skipper, too;
i saw the ship weigh anchor and clear
port,
And bear away along the heaving blue.
Far out at sea she Stood the Mary Lee,
whaler rugged and from this harbor
With all sail spread from the cold northern
sea;
good ship-aye, and timbers staunch and
sound
But that was more than twenty years ago,
And old Nantucket town will never see,
Across the distant pillows rising slow,
The topmast of the good ship Mary Lee.
Aye aye that little woman waiting there?
the shippers wife-how fast she's getting
gray,
Brown as an autumn oak leaf was her hair
The morning that the Mary sailed away.
She comes here evry morning with that
glass,
(she's not in her right mind, 'twixt you and
me)
And while the ships come in, the poor old
lass,
Stands watching for the bonny Mary Lee,
Inter Ocean.

Double Back-Actlon VOlubility.

The San Francisco girl OF 1886 is princi-
pally remarkable for her ability to express
herself with a double back-action compina-
ton OF conciseness and volatility. Shehas
a clever trick of economizing time and space
by running two or three words together.
She never pauses for the ordinary obstruc-
tions OF grammar, and when clear, compre-
hensive English fails her, she instantly re-
sorts to words of her own coinage. The
T. C. offers ais an example the following in
tercepted conversation: "'Lo! Whereyer-
