CENTRAL PARK.
Ladies' who Ride and Drive, The Dog
Cart Girl, The Baby and Six Little
Maids from school,

LADIES VINO Hlgo ana Drive, The Dog
Cart Girl, The Baby and Six Little
Maids from school.
It it be true, as avered, that only
about four hundred thousand of the
fourteen hundred thousand people of
New York know how much there is in
Central Park, AID only that small num-
Der have paid many visits, finding &C.
cupation for many delightful hours in
that green retreat, to learn, is it not
worth while, for the nonce, to spend a
few moments with the writer and artist,
catching fugitive glimpse thereof
through pen and sketch, and other eyes,
Like Col. Sellers's eye-water, the,
more one goes tho more one wants to
says the descriptive scribe, while the
four hundred thousand have more or
less knowledge, the other million, says
our pilot, know that there is such a
place, and they have vague impress
sion that the Mall is made for nurses
and their beaus; and the lake for lovers
and their ladies. But beyond this the
place might as well be in Patagonia so
far as any personal knowledge is con-
cerned.
Even those thousands who habitually
frequent the Park know little of the
bride paths and the quiet retreats for
equestrians, the getting-off places
where he has an opportunity to hold
her dainty little boot for a moment in
his hand and the two or three places
where riders stop to take refreshing
stirrup cup. You must have saddle
hsrse to appreciate the delights of the
Park as fully as the young lady in the
picture does. When our artist
'''caught" her just as she sits she was
lettering slowly, keeping a sharp look
out for an expected rider and listening
for the sound of hoofs that would send
the red blood up through her cheeks
and set her hea It to beating an impris-
oned tattoo. T. 'discreet groom was
hidden by turn in the leafy road.
The picture WAS barely finished when
she gave her horse a sharp cut and
cantered carelessly up the path. A
minute later young man with rose
in his coat went by in the same direct
ion at a gallop.
This is dog clrt. You can tell it
is dog-cart because you can see the
dog. All dog-carts are not as plainly
marked as this one Sometimes the
dog stays at home. 1t is all very, very

Princess Louise always Tolls. and our
friend of the picture takes as naturally
after the Princess as an Irishman does
to politics. She represents a distinct
class of girls who drive out. There is
the dog-cart class of girls-lignt, vo-
lathe, jolly; and the non-dog-cart class
-dignitied, quiet, reserved. The lady
who Tolls usually teaches a class in
Sunday-school and likes to be associated
with Mrs. Astor on charitable commit

of thing. The only drawback to loll-

In leap year Japanese girls who want
husbands set out flower pots on the

custom in this country, says the Norris

THE PRESIDENT AND WIFE RECEIVE
The President and wife gave their first
reception at the White House on the even
ing of the 18th. The White House was
never more crowded. But the house was
quite comfortable except in the blue room
where the President and Mrs. Cleveland
stood, and that was packed with diplomats
and people of distinction behind the line of
ladies who were to assist. Tho ORANGE
ments were we'll ordered, people Passing
in at one entrance through canvas alley
like an entrance to circus tent, Just
wide enough for two abreast,
and the procession, kept in or
der by plautoons of policemen, wound
around through the reception parlor and
wraps, into the wide corridors. At the
entrance to the blue room two policemen
stood to preserve the line and hurry those
that fingered: Within the door in line
that stretched across the room stood, first,
the President, and then his bride. Next
Mrs: Villas and Mrs. Lamont in order,
while the faithful private secretary
stood at the other end when he was
that things were going right. Although ssS
the hOur was fixed at o'clock, the crowd
began to gather as early as eight; and it
was we'll they did, for although che Pres
ident and Mrs. Cleveland were shaking
hands with people at the rate of forty a
minute, it was nearly midnight before the
end of the line was reached. Some stood
in the procession for full hour, moving
slowly along, and at 10 o'clock after an
hour OF hand-shaking, the line reached
from the President through all the cor
ridOrs and rooms out beyond the pOrtico
to the pavement, where bare-knecked la
dies and impatient gentlemen stood growl-
ing because those in front of them did not
hurry on. There is only one opinion about
Mrs. Cleveland. Her beauty her graceful
manners and her dignity were the COM
ment of the people, and every one was en-
thusiastic in admiration. One old lady
expressed the thoughts of all when she said
to her: my dear, we loved you because
you were the wife of tho President; but
since have seen you, l think we will all
love you for yourself"

The Question Settled,

There was quite discussion yestcr-
day among cotton men at the photo
graphing of large number of bales
Of cotton. There was Il difference of
opinion about the extent Of the crop
in Texas compared with other States
and other years. That question is set
tied by the crop report from Wash
ington, which says that lin Texas the
yield is higher than in the census
year, when the product was thirty
seven hundredths of a bale per acre,
and the October condition siXty-tive.'
This was the premium" year, and to
be "higher' than that is something to
be proud of and certainly settles the
question in dispute.

Rabbits Foot.

Rabbits Foot Oil is rapidly coming
to the front as liniment and cure for
the many aches and pains to which
man is heir. II is proprietary medi-
cine, it is true, but it is a wonderful
medicine for the cures it is intended to
make. 1t is not jumped-up cure-all
to run an ephemeral course, but is a
scientific combination of the best
medicines used in liniments, and so
blended together that no other medi-
cine has ever equaled it in the happy
effects it produces. w. ii. Patterson
& Co. are its manufacturers, and it has
TO be tried but once to satisfy one of
its true merits. Mr.. Patterson took
the blue ribbon upon his Rabbits
Foot Oil and his display also-quite
an honor achieved and worthy his
wonderful medicine. If
