Two distinguished couples passel
down Broadway one day this weeL
within five minutes of each other, says
New York letter to the Philadelphia
Press. One was young John A. Logan
and his wife. Logan Is swarthy, and
not unlike his famous father. His wife
is pretty, blondc-faced woman. She
might have sat for one of the cherubS
in the Sistine Madonna. She is easy
and graceful, and her soft, sweet mus:
zeal voice easily controls the bluff
young husband, who at one time was
the terror of West Point. His bonny
bride Brought him 500, 0Ol, and, by
close application to business, and
through the help of his father law,
he has doubled that sum, so that now
he is millionaire, and as happy as a
cereus flower.
The other couple were Mr. and Mrs.
James Gillespie Blaine, Jr. They
swung along as joyously as school
children. Young Blaine is in CONNER
cial life here. He is making money
! and friends. Ee goes round q good
deal, and is fond of manly spots. / lily
Edwards has been giving him lessons
in boxing, and he is quite an adept
with his fists. Mrs. Blaine, Jr, is q
happy mother. She, too, like Mrs.
Logan, is remarkably handsome
woman. She is lover of the stage,
and is fire luent attendant at the the
| qter.
While these four happy people wero
taking exercise and being amused, Col.
Fred Grant and Robert Lincoln were
| conversing in low tones in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel corridor. Col. Grant
pulled a cigar out of his pocket, and
stuck it in his mouth. From his trou-
sers pocket he drew forth "a solid gold
| matchbox, studded with diamonds.
He touched the biggest stone with his
thumb, and the lid of the box flew
open.

OUR BOY.
BY EUGENE FIELD.

In this mild, malarious weather of
spring sour Poy" arises early of a
morning. He has rested we'll; a
lreamless sleep has prepared him for
another day of con luest. He begins
his diurnal career b. awakening the
whole household Perchance he drives
his velocipede up and down the back
hall; maybe he enlivens the situation
in the kitchen with rough-and-tum-
BILE battle with the. argus-eyed hired
girl, whose blessed prerogative it is to
defend the family sugar bowl against
all depredatory corners. One thing
can be depended upon: "Our Boy"
will let everybody within hear ,ng dis
tance know that he then and there is
on earth and has come to stay. An
other thing can be depended upon :
"Our Boy" VII put on his best clothes
instead of his everyday clothes unless
his saga ious mother has sequestered
those best clothes in one of those mys'
terious hiding places which womankind
is so fertile in devising. "Our Toy" is
wonderously proud of his best trousers
.-prold of them until he gets them
on. When he once gets them on he
seems to be equally proud of running
them as fast as he can.
The game of marbles is an invention
of the devil in the interest of tailors

bids fair to be overturned by so tritling

enactment placing limit upon the

'tep-ladder order of millinery thrust
It's towering head in the face of an in
lignant yet admiring male public. 1t
has given to short women dignity of
carriage which should belong only to
the tall, and to tall women asuperiority
which no mere high silk hat could hope
to reach. 1t has led to revolution in
the manufacture of hat boxes, to en-
barrassment and profanity in the thea
ter, and to sundry other evil results
which reflected not at all on the wearer
of the bonnet, but considerably on
those by whom she might be surround

suffer there is faint hope of delivery

Why is it that the boys of to-day are
not as proper, as neat, and as orderly
as their fathers used to be when they
were boys? Another delight which
engages "Our Boy" just now is that OF
fishing. Well, maybe his piscatoria'
penchant is inherited; there is certain
" no pleasanter nor more harmless en-
joyment than that of angling. But the
line should be drawn at the practice
which sour Boy" makes of wading
around in two feet of water, netting
minnows two inches long. This prac.
tice would seem to prove to our COM
plete satisfaction that our boys are de-
generate.
But what adds insult to injury is the
habit which Our Boy" has fallen into
of bringing his wretched little fish
home in oyster cans and dumping them
for permanent abode in the family bath
tub. 1t is mighty cheerful thing for
father to march into bath room for
purposes of ablution, only to find the
tub half full of wriggling minnows
To add to his yexation, these miserable
fish lie close to the top of the water
and thrust their heads half out and
mouth at one as if hooking him.

With what elonuenco did the Pnrson

With what eloquenco did the Parson
paint the scene of the last night be-
fore the crucifiXion, and the betrayal
of the Savior by Judas! Then, with
tears slowly rolling down his cheeks,
he pictured the scene on Calvary-the
crucifixion of the Savior; and as he
spoke, many a rough man b.'Dke down
and wept like a child.
In conclusion, he invited sinners who
wished for pardon to come forward
and be prayed for. He entreated them
to come.
Giant Dave was the first to arise.
With his legs shaking beneath him,
he came forward, and three others fol
lowed.
They oil knelt down together, the
Parson in the midst, and the prayer
that he made thrilled many rough
man to the heart.
From that day the revival at Big
Pine progresse rapidly. Although
Hop Benson refused to allow the Par
son to speak again in his saloon, no
difficulty was found in securing aplace
fer him.
Many an evening, mounted upon
barrel, he addressed large gathering
upon corner. Thus fame came to
hlm, and as for the men of Big Pine,
they fairly forced gold upon him.
Finally baptism was appointed.
! Nearly score of converts had been
made, and it was decided that they
must be immersed. Big Pine fairly
! went wild over this new excitement.
When the eventful day arrived the
camp was crowded with people, many
of whom had come scores of miles to
witness the fun
Giant Dave was the first to enter the
! water The Parson had removed his
! coat and was prepared to do his level
! best. Everyone prophesied that Dave
| would be too much for the little man,
and so it proved. The Parson Sue
ceeded in getting the big fellow under
water. but he couldn't lift him, try as
ne might. FINALLY, however, Dave got
upon his feet and wIded to the shore.
From this time onward there was no
break. The Parson did his duty nobly.
After the baptism large collection
was taken up, and despite his modest
protests, the money was forced upon
the Person.
Already were the people beginning
to talk of building church, when one
night the Parson disappeared. There
was great excitement in the camp
when it was discovered that Giant
Dawes little cache OF gold had also
disappeared But no one thought of
suspecting the Parson until an officer

Fashions in Dress, Notes Oh Housekeep-

When the recent hot weather came
all of a sudden, it melto the mantles
right OFF the backs Of fashionable
women, disclosing a multitude of fig
ures in the newest toilets of late spring
and early summer. l have industri
ously sketchcd the most striking and
instructive of these bonnets and
dresses, and the pictures are herewith
printed. 1t may be as well to first
consider the essential matter of cut
lines. No fne1ess of fabric or e!abor-
at on of Torment can make an ugly
shape handsome. 1t is happy news
that grotesuucly pulled skirts held out
with steel and stiff muslin almost to
the dimensions, o. crinoline, have been
modified to q Pleasant extent. 1t will
be seen that the women here portrayed
are not made monstrous by rearwarl
protuberances, although there is sill
too much left of the hustle to please
entirely artistic critics. There is
hardly trace of astheticism left in
the present fashions: Limp draperies
and inexpensive hues have departed,
and in their place we see more bright
ness of color and solidity of style gen.
orally.
1t is as well, perhaps, to take en-
phatic examples in order to illus
trate the newest fashions. Therefore,

matinee, announcing her destination
by means of the opera glass held con-
spicuously in one hand, while she car

ton of the best approved mode. Her
hat is just bit actressy, but it serves
to shade and soften her face in the
glare of bright noon sun. The ten

the dog; the measlier the dog the
more lovable he is in the eyes of sour
Boy" Why is it, we wonder-cau any
body explain it-that "Our Boys" dog
is always tramp and always of the
feminine gender? Another thing that
excites our wonder is the universal fact
that "Our Boy" is hardly able to carry
his spelling book to and from school,
and vet thinks nothing of Juggling dog
four miles and half. "Our Boy" may
not weigh forty-fve pounds, but every
blessed day of his life he comes into the
house carrying 125-pound dog under
his arm with ease and with enthusiasm.
And the beauty of it is that the mis-
cradle, NANCY cur seems to enjoy sour
Boy" quite as much as sour Boy" en-
.oys the chr. Well, that's where the
ours head is level, for the cur not only
gets the best edibles in the house but
is decorated with the choicest ribbons
sour Boy" can find in his mothers
bureau, and is honored with a name
wholly untitled to one of the ours sex.
So it is that sour Boy" lives and
moves and has his being. And between
his marbles and his fish and his
wretched dogs and his Thousand other
grotesque delights, he worries his poor
old father and his patient mother near
ly into their untimelS graves. Yet
when the day is done and Our Boy"
goes to that dreamless sleep OF his,
who, seeing the innocent beauty of his
slumbering face. does not forget the
care he has brought and think only of

colored maid of all work, who had been
her companion at church, "Dinah, why
didn't you take the blame of that sneeze

the old lady sneezed again. Some of
