THRASHiNG A MASHEH.
How One Member OF the Dude Fraternity
Received His just Deserts.


Received His just Deserts.
IN. Y. Cor. Boston Herald i
The New York masher is growing more
numerous, more insulting and more gen.
orally inexcu sable than ever he was be-
fore. have been in good many cities
of the world during my somewhat scat
tered career, and have seen the masher
IN ever cline and every shape, from the
naughty young buck of the Red Cloud In
dian agency to the dandied little chap
who parades the boulevards of Paris in
tight clothes and high-heeled PATENT
leather pumps. But of all, of them tue
meanest, the most despicable and the low
est clown is the one who saunters up and
down Broadway. His name is legion, and
his occupation runs from n professional
dude to coachman. He is not sat.
isfied with staring insolently at every
woman he meets, but he must talk
to her as well. Sometimes he will follow
ner for blocks, now passing by, now drop
ping back, and all the time pressing his at
tention forward most impertinently. One
of these precious objects is just now keep.
ing himself very scarce, and he will prob.
ably be wise enough to go on in that pur.
suit for some time to come. The other
afternoon he started in to follow a very
attractive girl, who is the wife of a news
paper writer know. The fellow actually
had the impertinence to keep close behind
his intended victim clear up to the door of
her husbands office. When she came out
she met him, ana he spoke to her. She was
angry. and she wanted revenge. So she
led him right through the outer office and
into the inner room, where her husband
vas debating to his stenographer.
''This," she said, sis a masher. He has
lsen tagging me about for an hour"
The newspaper man jumped for the
stranger, who ran for dear life. On the
stairs there was tussle, a sound like the
smashing of a human jaw, a howl, and
the hasty retreat Of Mr.. Masher, who fed
down the street at the top of his speed.
The husband went back to the office, got
his coat and stick, and started out to scour
the town for the masher. To-day he
found his man and fetched him a crack
across the nose which, in all probability,
broke that useful member. The masher
begged for mercy, and the angry journal-
ist said to him: Every time I see you,
no matter where it is, I en- going
to lick you within an inch of your
hfe." Then be administered to the
masher kick where it would do
the most good, and sent him scuttling
down the street co ,ered with blood and
half frantic with pain fore and aft. II
seems TO me that ladies ought to profit by
this example. 1t is partly their own fault
that they ere so often insplted. Not that
they court such things, hut they do SO DIS
like being mixed up in any sort of row
that creatures who are guilty of such con-
duct almost invariably get Off scot-free,
and are encouraged to try it again. There
is no husband or brother in the land who
would not heartily enjoy all chances Of
thrashing one of these fellows every time
he could get chance. And IL the chances
came oitener there would be good deal

A curious result of the dry season is at.
tracing considerable attention near Mos
COW. The Cedar river in ordinary high
water makes cutoff through Lundy's
timber, thus making two channels for q
distance OF nearly two miles. During the
past Sc SON of drought the water has dis
appeared entirely from both channels, and
investigation shows that the river sinks
rnto subterranean channel at the head of
point Is reached three miles below. Here
the water bubbles forth from the sand ap-
pareutiy q stronger and larger stream
than where it disappeared from sight So

A Sting in q serpent's Tail.

Some men and myself, with some dogs
were out in the woods a few weeks since,
and while there heard the dogs making a
noise as il being pursued. The men went
to the dogs and found a snake chasing
them. The snake did not attempt to bite
them, but would use its tail as il attempt
ing to sting them. The snake was killed,
and saw it afterward, and a sting pro-
truded from its tail about one and
one-half inches. The snake was four feet
long The sting was hard substance like

THE CAPITAL naturally feels lit
tie elated over it's selection as one of
the mediums through which the laws
ordered by the Governor and Attor-
ney General are to be Published in the
different counties Of the State. 1t is
an official recognition of the superior
advantages of the daily over the
weekly press for disseminating intel
ligence among the people.
We tender our sincere thanks to
the presiding officers of the General
Assembly for their fairness in recog-
uizing the merits Of THE CAPITAL in
this connection.

THE reprebensible practice ct boy
cotting has attracted much notice re-
Gently. During the past week the
local courts 10 several cities of the
Union hare been called upon to deal
with the question of the boycott. 10
New York city a number of men have
been arraigred, charged with the of
Tense of distributing boycott circulars,
and have been subjected to fines and
reprimands by the magistrates. In
Philadelphia, New Haven and other
cities similar action has been taken
with like results. The cases are
brought within the law which makes
it misdemeanor to form q conspiracy
to injure a man 10 bis trade or calling
The laws Of the land should protect
man 10 the peaceful aud honorable
pursuit of an honorable vocation, and
punish those who wilfully and MALI
ciously conspire to fleet bis ruin. The
laws Of this State declare it misde-
eapor for two or more persons TO
conspire to prevent another from ex-
ercising lawful trade or calling, or
doing any other lawful act. by force,
threats, intimidation, or by interior
ing or threatening to interfere with
tools, implements or property belong

enactment, together with the other
statues and decisions of the State
courts, undoubtedly makes boycolting

YESTERDAY was lively day il
Annapolis among the politicians. 1t
was the time fixed for the distribu-
ton Of patronage among the news
papers and the election OF officers OF
the oyster navy The FIRST was easily
disposed Of, and we believe satisfac-
torily to all concerned. The selec-
ton OF the CAPITAL as one of the Ne-
hicles to give publicity to the laws
caused slight irritation along the
spine of those who claimed recogni-
ton on the score Of superior age, but
the attack was slight and soon passed
of.
The board Of public works did not
work so smoothly. There were many
conflicting views among its members.
The Governor bad bis fayorite for
commander, the Treasurer had bis.
but the Comptroller was not SO hap
PLY situated. For while be too had
bis favorite, but the name Of Gen. Jos
b. Seth, tower Of strength, rose up
before him like the ghost Of Banqno
and would not down. The Comptrol-
Ter and ex-speaker of the House are
rival leaders for public applause aud
party preferment, and being both
from the same county. the Comptrol-
ler's position was embarrassing to
say the least Failing to secure the
consent of two popular leaders remote
from bis immediate stamping ground
as candidates for the coveted position
be reluctantly concluded to swallow
the bitter pill, but fortunately for him
ct this iuncture, the Governor raised
q legal question as. to the eligibility
