Jas. n. Clark, Esq, and wife, returned

after an absence of four or FIVE months. Mr..

The Arcadia House will not be opened this
summer. This appears to be certain, since
we learn indirectly that the grounds have
been put in charge of VIM. H. Thomson,
Esq, who is to see that the fences of the en-
closure are kept in repair, and that no tres
passes are made on the property. This is |
not good news, but we fear it is reliable. The
present management of the railroad "does |
not believe in suburban improvements"
Yet, after all, it may be best as it is. Can
not the citizens of the Valley be self-helpers!
Organize stock association and put up the
buildings necessary to accommodate summer
visitors? Let US think of it, and, while it is
too late now to do much for the coming |
season, by next year ample accommodations
may be had.

Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1888-04-12


esting volume of legendary literature, COM
piled and written by D. R. M'Anally, Jr.,
well known to the residents of the Arcadia
Valley. The legends are not taken from
books and revamped for commercial gain,
but are of the folklore of the Green Isle as
heard from the lips of the people. Prof.
M'Analy spent several months in the Land
of Erin, and this book is one of the results
of his sojourn and travels. The volume deals
entirely with the legends and fanciful tales
of Ireland. 1t is an attempt, and success
full one, to rescue from oblivion some of the
tales told around Irish firesides and OF social
gatherings, emboyding the superstitions and
traditions of the common people and assoc1-
ated with certain localities. While they are
crude, yet they are rich in the characters
tics of the Irish race and of Irish literature,
homely human nature, rich imagination and
kindly humor. One of the chief charms of
the book is that the stories are told with the
brogue and embellishments given to them by
the native story teller. 1t is a neat, attrac-
tive volume from the press of Houghton,
Mifiin & Co., embracing 21S pages of clear,
large type, and handsomely and artistically
illustrated by Mr.. 81. r. Heaton.
The Calico Ball given by the Knights OF
Honor on the evening of April I'd, was
success in every particular. About sixty
five couples were in attendance. Bismarck,
Iron Mountain, Grauiteville, Middlebrook
and Pilot Knob were represented, but most
of the people were from Ironton and Area
dia. About nine O'Clock the music started
I'D and dancing commenced. at eleven
O'Clock w. H. Byers announced that the
neckties were ready. "Then there was
rushing in hot haste" to the necktie box. 1t
took several minutes for the gentlemen to
draw their ties and find their company.
After this they proceeded to the basement
where Mr.. and Mrs. Peck had prepared as
nice supper as one ever sees on SUCH &C.
casions. After supper dancing was resumed
and continued till four O'Clock, when all
went home stepping to the music OF the
early morning fowl that disturbs the SUM
bers of "Uncle Isaac" To say that all had
a good time, would express it mildly. Ey-
erybody was jolly. Not one unpleasant thing
occurred. To watch the knights as they
tripped the light fantastic toe, was equal to
a circus. Some of them kicked the dust
clear out of the plank and shook the shingles
on the roof. The people have learned one
thing. They know that the X. OF IL. under
stand how to get up ball and make a sue
cess of it.

THE SERENADE.

The midnight is not more bewildering
To her drowsed eyes, than, to her ears the
sound
OF dim. sweet voices, interwOund
With purl of flute and subtle twang of string,
Strained through the lattice, where the roses
cling,
And with their fragrance watt the notes
around
Her haunted senses. Thirstng beyond hound
OF her Slow yielding Dreams the lit and swing
OF the mysterious. deirious tune,
She drains like some strange opiate, with awed
eyes
Upraised against her easement, where.
aswoOn,
The stars fall from her sight and up the skies
OF alien azure rolls the full round moon
Like some vast bubble blown ofsummer noon.
