REV. DIR. TALMAGS ON SUMNER.
The Preachers Pen Portraits of the
People Who Gather at Resorts.

From the Philadelphia Press
BROOKLYN, May 18.-Among the fashion
able pleasure-seekers who in the Summer
months take wing and fly to the watering
perhaps we should say brandy and water
ing-places are the following classes:
!. Those who violate physical law nine
months of the year, eating gluttonously
and drinking Unexpectedly, and hope to
rinse themselves into the sweetness aud
purity of health during a three months
spree at Saratoga at Niagara Falls,a at Long
Branch, or at some other place Of popular
resort. They sit up late; dance all night
unless the govt has a mortage on the light
fantastic toe they eat indigestible suppers;
they drink immense quantities of logwood
and whisky and other dye stuifs, and when
the season is over they return to their
homes with lighter purses and heavier
hearts.
ii. Fast men are sure to be present where
pleasure has loose rein. They are fast
eaters. fast drinkers, fast drivers, butsthey
are slow to think. Their heaven is a sort of
celestial hippodrome, where they can ride
on swift horses around ring and win the
stakes. They can play at cards "profes-
Sionally." They are famous, not to say in
famous, for making pools, not like the one
in Bethesda, for angels never move in
IItlu, anu lNbl nave no uedlnR NudIlLleS.
The spelling of the word should be changed
to suit their calling, for they are like tad
poleS-they live in the scum; they are
amphib.ouS, although the water they use is
adulterated with rum, and their legs, like
those of the tad-poes, seem 60 como out of
their pockets suddenly, after which they
hop about in bar-roomS and bathrooms,
and even in drawing-rooms, and they be-
come great toads in little puddles Their
motto is "You bet and they bet on boat
races, ON horse races, and on tue human
race.
III. Fops are at the resort Of fashion what
dummies are in front of dry goods stores
they show what the tailor and haherdasher
can do for n man. Sensible ladies laugh at
them and put them on footing with lap
dogs We have not the space to speak of
the matrimonial visitors; of tho gorgeous
butterflies, whose great trunks are the
chrysalis out of which they get their wings /;
of the iuvalids seeking health; of the tired
toilers from the study, and the shop in pur-
suit of rest and recreation; of the good and
noble men and women whose pleasant faces
are benediction, and whose labors of love
are blessing. They are the only visible
angels that move the healing waters.
Well, we all want recreation and relaxa-
ton; and all ought to get il and ought TO
enjoy it, and there is no better place than
off III some quiet retreat where fashion is
not known; where are green leaves and
blossoming fields where the forests invite
the nature-worshiper, or where the sea
sounds its diapason all the night long. Let
who win 60 TO the crowded hotels; but, If
the reader will believe it, tbs real rest and
comfort are To be found in the thousand
homesteads throughout the country where
they take boarders Just for the summer. "

EARLY SUPREME COURT JUDGES.
The Wigand Gown were Worn to In
spire Respect in the Good Old Days.
From Tie Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
Scarlet and ermine we're the robes they
wore in tho primitive court, with clean
shaver faces and powdered hair drawn back
into queue tied with a black ribbon. Vel
vet suits, ruffies, knee breaches and buckles
were the only wear. The lawyers were re-
quired to dress in a similar fashion, and a
barrister in any other color than black and
without profusion Of rutfies stood chance
of being fined for contempt of court. By
the time Marshall arrived on the bench the
scarlet robe had given way to the black silk
robe still dear to the heart of the Judges
But customary suits of solemn black and
small clothes continued to be the dress both
for bar and Judges. 1.-The lean and slip
pered pantaloon" made slow progress on
that high tribunal for many years, even
after pantaloons were in common vogue on
the streets The great Pinckney, Attorney
General for Madison, was famous dandy
as well as being the ablest lawyer of his
time. He was daring enough 10 appear in
court and set fashion in colors for the
lawyers. His dress was a blue coat with
brass buttons. buff waistcoat, buckskin
breeches and top boots. He wore the Brum-
mel cravat, which required high art TO put
on end tie. His hair was short and unpow-
dered But the bar generally stuck to
black, even after pantaloons came fully into
FASHION. Inc Dencn, however, wore small
cpthes until the advent of fancy. With
tie great Marylander another departure
from precedent is TO be noted He was alb
solutely the first of Chief Justices TO pre-
side at that august tribunal and deliver
judgment III trousers to the horror and dis
may of many barrister and gentleman of
the old school. What sans culotteism was
10 be expected nextl Pigtails had already
departed, and what kind Of law was to be
expected of mel in p .ntaloons and without
powder and pigtailsl Certainly the ancient
fountains were being troubled and the
stream was running muddy Nevertheless
the constitution of the country bore the
strain, though any Of the old-school gentle
men could have foretold that nothing short
OF bred Scott decision could be expected
rom a Chief Justice in trousers.

NEAR-sIGHrED PEOPLE.
A Broadway Optician Explains the
Causes and Remedies of Myopia.

From the Neto York Press.
I'm no other city in the world can be
found so many people afflicted with myopia
or near-sightedness as right here in New
York, said a Broadway optician a few
DAYS since. more than half the popula-
ton of our big town are so afflicted, and the
number of persons who wear spectacles or
eyeglasses is astonishingly large, as is
evinced by an examination Of the faces of
the cro9ds which surge along Broadway.
The number of sufferers from myopia is, |
am sorry to say, annually increasing, and
not a few OF these are from our schools and
colleges"
"1o what do you attribute the prevalence
of this partial blindnessp queried the
writer.
"Nearsightedness arises from a number
of causes, chief among which are reading
in the dusk of the evening, or fatiguing the
ewes in trying TO read by aid of bad arti-
fetal illumination; reading while in a lying
position, or with the head thrust too far
forward; the perusing of blurred or slovenly
printed books, or matter printed IN very
small type. All these and many other
things conduce to a gradual decrease in the
power of vision, and if 20 greatly persisted
in, will finally end III the total destruction
of the sight.
The principal cause of the prevalence of
short-sightedness among our business men
at least, is the pernicious habit SO largely
indulgod in of reading newspapers while
riding in the surface cars or omnibuses.
The iolting or swaying motion of the car
or bus causes an unsteadinesS Of hand,
which makes the type appear blurred and
uncertain. The steadier, easy motion Of
the cars on the elevated roads has done
much toward the preservation of the eye
sight of those who find that they must read
while on route and who patronize the aerial
mode of transit"
"When does one become conscious Of

ask for unanimous consent to have a

stimulants to overcome his fatigue.
He had also taken some sleep, and,
awakening suddenly to find that the
House was doing nothing, he rose TO
his feet and addressed the chair:

member arose and inquired on what
ground the pension was asked, in fact,
who was John Smith and what had he
done to be pensioned. 1t was with

and his explanation was brief. AS soon
as he gave it he dropped into his chair
