A Black-eyed Belle.

The belle of Long Branch has black eye.
There isn't a girl at the Branch who doesn't
envy her the distinction that she gained
through 1t, and any number of them would
take black eye Tomorrow if they felt sure
of the ability to turn such an unsightly spec
tacle into badge of beauty and attractive
ness. But IL so happens that tine particular
young lady who owns this injured optic is
just the jolliest sort of girl Imaginable; and
she would probably make as merry over an
accident OF any kind, as long as it didn't keep
her away from the boys, as she is over her
present disaster.
The accident that gave her this badge of
beauty occurred over at the race course. She
was thrown from carriage, and while her
companion was painfully injured. she es-
capped with discolored eye and short spell
Of Inconsistencies.
ION, isn't this dreadfuiPu she exclaimed
when she came to herself What will the
boys say? can't so to the dance to- might !"
just the same when she reached the hotel
and held council of war with herself she re-
solved to go to the ball and risk the dangers of
humiliation aud dismay. But her very
brav8dO In defying the gossip of her girl
friends turned the tide in her favor, and her
engagement card was filed for every dance
before she had been in the room q quarter Of
an hour. Since then she has been the belle of
the hotel. she goes everywhere and does
everything, from bathing and tennis in the
morning to dancing and supper at Pleasure
Bay at night.
At the proprietor's ball last Thursday at the
West End she appeared in a handsome ciel
blue, low cut, and group Of diamonds gilt
teriug IN pendant from her necklace. The
much admired eve was circled with its usual
during the afternoon, and 1t looked very much
as If the little witch had spread the paint
much lower than necessary, lust to show that
the black was still there.

The Havana Mail Service.


There Is now fast mail service be-
tween this country and Cuba, and for the
establishment of this service the MORN
ING NEWS is entitled TO considerable
| credit. IT was the first newspaper which
pointed out the advantages of such SER
vice, and made apparent the disadvanta-
ees Of the service which at that time ex-
listed.
When the MORNING NEWS first began
the discussion of tho matter letters for
Havana from this section of the South
were supposed to 60 to their destination
by way OF Tampa, Fla, and letters from
Havana to this locality were supposed to
come by that way. AS a matter of fact,
how ever, the most Of the letters went to
New York, and from thence to Havana,
and letters were received by the same
route; of course the Northern and West
ern mails for Havana were sent to their
destination by way of New York.
All this has now been changed. The
mails to and from Havana pass through
Tampa, Fla. The fast mail line from
New York, by way of Savannah and over
the Plant system OF roads to Tampa, puts
the mails very quickly at Tampa, where
they are transferred to a swift steamer,
and are in Havana in less than half the
time that was occupied when they were
sent by the old route.
This fast mail route from New York to
Havana will greatly increase the travel
in the winter season for the North and
West to Havana. There are thousands of
people in all parts of the coun-
try who would like to visit that city,
but have not done so because OF the
long sea voyage and the feeling that it
was far away from home. The distance
now from any part of the country to
Havana does not appear to be great.
Almost the entire sea voyage is avoided.
The trip to Tampa is not unpleasant at
any season of the year, and from that
point to Havana the sea trip is SO short
that it is hardly worth mentioning.
The improvements which have been
made In the mail service between this
country and Cuba within a comparatively
short time are so great as to excite COM
ment. The mails at one time were carried
from st. Augustine to Havana In dugout
canoes. The route was down the eastern
coast of Florida to the Keys, and thence
across the Gulf to Havana. The mail car
riers were venturesome fellows, ana met
with many thrilling experiences.
The mails reached st. Augustine in
schooners from the North, and were there
transferred to the cypress dugouts,
which conveyed them the rest of the way.
Storms were often encountered by the
canoes, and they were compelled to seek
shelter. 1t not infrequently happened
that they were delayed several days.
What contrast is the Havana mall SER
vice now to what it was at that time! 1t
required weeks, and sometimes months,
to get letter to and from Havana. Now
communication Is had by letter between
New York and Havana in little more
than three days.

two, while it might easily accommodate
ten, millions of people. Plenty OF infor-

in this respect, the little volume deserves
commendation."

Base Ball by Electricity.
From The Electrical Revteto,


Two years ago, nearly, three Yankee-like
telegraph operators living in Nashville, Tenn,
turned their enthusiasm for base ball to good
account. Their names are j. U. Rust. L. w.
Morgan and A. III. Stewart, and they con-
ceived the idea OF reproducing almost Instant
ly vivid view of the exact situations and
plays In game of base ball, played In Chat
tanooga, for instance. before an audience
seated in a hall in Nashville. To do this they
leased a wire from Nashville to Chattanooga,
one end OF which was on the ball field with an
expert operator, who was accurately in
formed in base ball playing, seated watching
the game and Immediately telcgraphlug each
play az 1t progressed. AT the Nashville end Of
the wire were two other Geographic and base
ball experts. AS they received the record
from their partner, one man reproduced it
verbally TO the audience, while the other man
manipulated cards bearing the names OF the
players, around painted view of the ball
field plac d IN full view Of the audience.
During the recent game In Detroit, Morgan

sented their unique entertainment before a
crowd OF 800 persons In the Detroit Opera

He pursuing Eldorado;

Yes there's 10 ore than that grant you
One sweet hour at eventide
When, beneath the summer arches,

Count the rosary of being,
Tread the palace halls OF thought,
Dream of summer days in childhood;
Matters it the dream is naugntp
Where is he? Alas! know not;
Strange and long his Wanderlngs,
Yet the bird on yonder branches
Merrily his carol sings.
Still the sunbeam fans my forehead,
Still the warm winds kiss my hair.
When his hands caressed its tresses
Silver had not gathered there.
Where is he, oh winds, oh pillows,
Graves of love, of hope, of thought
Tell the heart sick yearner-tell me,
What hath fate for manhood wrought
Yet the elm tree waves as softly,
And the bird as sweetly sings;
Heart fOrbear thy miseries!
Leave thy futile questionipgs!
He IN sunlight in shadow:
Thus our varying courses go,
He may grasp his Eldorado-

Fr0nt t6e Nea0 YORK. World (De1al.
The GROWING virtue in Mr.. Tilden's public
career was his noble sacrifice of personal am
b1tlon for the sake of the peace of the coun-
try. He was fairly elected President in 1875
by large majority of the people and Of the
states. A bold, INSCRIPTIONS, corrupt
party, holding possession OF the government
and of the United States army. resolved to
cheat him out of the office and to retain its
own power by force if necessary. The
nation, just recovering from the wounds of a
dreadful war, was appalled, at the prospect of
another rebellion, this time by the party in
control OF the government. Such a calamity
might have been the downfall of the republic.

The Garfield chamber in the White House
stills remains unopened. and has never been
tenanted since it was vacated by the wounded
President in 1881. 1t is said that PRESIDENT
Arthur had a horror OF the place, and that the
present occupant of the White House is equal
ly loath TO break the sombre silence OF the
apar ment. This course is natural, but 1t Is
scarcely wise. Gen, Garfield did not die In
the room, so there is scarcely even ghostly
presence to forbid the removal OF the close
curtains and the sealing mp Of the apartment
as a haunted chamber. There Is not TOO
much space in the White House, and no desc
Grafton would be implied In the restoration OF
the chamber to a condition of occupancy and
usefulness.

Cleveland Planning for denomination.

Cleveland Planning for denomination.
Washington Dispatch to the Neao York World.
The President is a candidate for another
term. OF that there can be no doubt. There
are times, however, when he becomes very
much dissatisfied and displays much temper.
One of his callers the other morning found
him In q bad humor over some acJion of Con-
gress which was contrary to his ideas. The
President sWore in a good old-fashoned style
and blessed Congress with great heartiness
and energy. He said then, in his temper, that
he was sick of the whole thing and wished he
was back in Albany. 1t is only occasionally
that he expresses himself as dissatisfied with
his present situation, and, of course. his ex-
pressiOns of dissatisfaction are to be taken In
PickwicklRn sense. The President is not only
acandidate for a second term, but he is begin
ming to take steps to strengthen himself for
1888. He has given more attention to the
South than to any other secJIon of the coun-
try, believing that IL he goes into the National
Convention with the South solid back of him,
he, with that and the power of his admins
tratlon. Will be able to force his renomna-
ton. At least that is his idea. There Is less
dissatisfaction in the South with the Presi-
dent than there is in any other part of the
country. He is doing more and more every
day to please the Southern people. The Sena-
tors and members in the Southern States have
great deal more influence in controlling the
patronage of their States than have the
Democratic Senators and members from the
States of the North. 1t is very rarely that
you hear of any complaint among the South
ern members. Within the last two or three
months has been heard great deal OF praise,
that kind OF praise and admiration which
only come from statesmen who have been well
treated.
