A Dude at the Ponce de Leon.

FROM q 81. augustine tftu.) Leftef.
Few yachts Of any Importance have come
into st. Augustine harbor this season, though
Mr.. Armstrong. who is practically the founder
of the st. Augustine Yacht Club. expects num-
Der down from the North about March or be-
fore. The only difficulty seems to be that many
owners have tied their yachts up for the winter
season, and the sail down the coast is not apt to
be pleasant at this time of the year. St. Au-
guStine has taken such a sudden and remark
able boom that it will require one season to get
people used to it. The town which few years
ago was the resort of the invalid and the easy
and flannel shirted sportsman, is already aglow
with Bar Harbor blazers of every conceivable
hue. This is only in the forenoOns. In the
evenings you will see the same picturesquely
attired youths clad in the sober and immaculate
claw hammer At the Ponce de Leon they are
great on evening dress, and the attire of
the fashionable guests and the gorgeously
arrayed servants is the cause of no
little confusion among the simple minded sight
reerS. A mild little dude made his appearance
the other evening with one of those tailleSs dress
coats which were introduced at Newport last
summer. He had a long silk scarf wound around
his slender waist and knottcd at one side He
wandered around for a few minutes looking I'M

that the costume was not gaudy enough he
should have silk stockings knee breaches and a

were of the opinion that he was the white man

Others maintainad that he was side partner Of

The Society Lady's Mascot.
From a Washington Letter


An incident well worthy the pen of Du Maurier
occurred week since at one of the Cabinet re-
captions Among the callers was the wife of
prominent jurist who this week introduces her
granddaughter to society. Accompanied by the
debutante the dame sailed majesticaly into the
room and up o the hostess, who was surrounded
by her own little court After making the IN
PRODUCTION she stepped a little TO one side, in
order that her charge should have the full bene-
fit of any attention from the hostess. With
gracious air the Secretary's wife turned to the
debutante. making some polite inquiry as to
whether or not she found it pleasant making a
formal entry into society. oh yes; like it
immensely. You know guantanamo takes me
everywhere with her She calls me her mascot. "
''YesSH in rising infection from the hostess
"Oh, she calls me so, because she says whenever
go out with her we never find anyone at
home. Do you know we have made lots of calls,
and this is the very first place we have had to
go in to-day"

The Secretary of War will in a few DAYS
transmit to the House reply to Mr.. Bou-
tellc's resolution calling for information
about battle-fags reformed to the South.
Several admissions will be made. 1t will be
admitted that it was determined to return
all the flags at a time when it was thought
that no law rendering such an act illegal
was in existence, but Immediately upon the
discovery of such law the executive order
directing the return was revoked. 1t will
be admitted that some OF the flags were re-
turned during the interim. Some of the
flags have also been returned to individuals
during the present administration. and this,
too, will DO admitted. The information
that will be the least pleasing to Mr.. Bou-
telle, however, is that, as will be shown by
the records of the department, no admins
tration has returned so few flags as this one.
Secretary Stanton returned more than any
of his successors. Mr. Boutelle will be do
prived OF the pleasure of making another
bloody shirt speech.

Under date Of Jan. II, ex-senator Conk-
hing wrote TO friend in Milwaukee, Wis.
in regard to the movement to put forward
a Presidential candidate in that State who
will stand in Mr. Blaine's way. 1t is very
evident that he hasn't much of an opinion
of the Republican party. 1t has failed, he
says, to maintain its usefulness and vigor,
but he hopes the leaders will find some way
of bringing back the earnestness and wis
dom of which it so much stands in need.
That way, however, is evidently not the
nominating of Blaine, according to Conk-
ling's idea.

A writer in one of the papers says that
from boyhood he has heard the word
blizzard" but never until four years ago
in the connection in which it is now used.
His elders, he says, always used it to convey
the idea of force, violence, spitefulness or
vindictiveness. If one dealt another hos
tile blow he gave him a blizzard on the
rose, ION the jaw between tho eyes"
etc II a magistrate lectured a litigant
severely he gave him a blizzard" If in
debate one dealt mere lesSly IN ridicule he
lave his opponent a blizzard If one
man swore at or cursed another he "gave
him a blizzard" If mans wife scoldcd
him she gave him blizzard" From the
statement, il seems that il is a very appro-
pirate word to apply TO sudden and severe
storms.

Senatorial Peculiarities.

People outside of Washington know more
about the men who compose the United
States Senate than the great majority of
the residents of that city do. Almost as
much has been written about them by tie
correspondents as about the tariff. News
paper readers know the popular estimate of
each Senator's wealth and intellectual
ability. They know who of the Senators
are long-winded takers and who of them
talk to vacated seats. They are familiar
with the sarcastic ones, and can name with
out hesitation the fat .witted ones They
know the bald-headed ones, and those whose
linen isn't neat those who flirt, and those
who have only one leg or one arm. They
know all about what the Senators eat when
they visit the restaurants in the capitol and
what they drink. They know who of them
have false teeth or false hair, and thev
know those who live in cheap boarding
houses and those who live extravagantly at
the hotels or keep up handsome establish
mentS.
The correspondents even 60 so far as to
give the size of a Senator'S Washing and the
prices he pays for his coats and boots In
fact, there isn't anything that can be
thought of in connection with the men who
compose the Senate that has not been pre-
scented in some shape in the newspapers,
and yet there always seems to be something
new to be said about the seventy-six legisla-
tors. Some one of them tells a new story,
or has his hair dyed, or his CornS cut OF does
something that is out of the usual order.
and the attention of the public is at once
called to it. Win the time ever come when
there will be nothing more to be said about
the Senators.

Seeking to 1ndict Millionaires.

The trial of Jacob Sharp the briber of
| the boodler Aldermen of New York city,
was a very long, interesting and expensive
one, but if Jay Gould and Russell Sage
should be indicted for grand larceny, and
there is a chance that they will be, their
trial would be longer, perhaps, and more
interesting and expensive than Jacob
Sharp's was.
Jay Gould is sailing about the world in
his magnificent yacht, which cost $4,000
or more, and Russell Sage is hard at work
in Wall street increasing his already inn
menSe fortune. Their attorneys are trying
to convince District Attorney Fellows that
the charges which have been brought
against their clients cannot be made the
basis for an Indictment.
It seems that Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Sage
were the trustees of a consolidated mort
gage on the Kansas Pacific railroad. which
was intended TO protect certain bonds.
There was also in the trust a very large
number of shares of stock 1t is charged
that by species of legal jugglery Messrs.
Gould and Sage extricated from the trust
q. $50 shares of this stock, and the bond
holders are now trying toe have them in
dicted for grand larceny. The attorneys
for Messrs Gould and Sage take the ground
that if grand larceny was committed, which,
of course, they do not admit,
their clients cannot be indicted because
the alleged CRIME was committed more than
five years ago, and is, therefore, barred by
the statute of limitations.
The bondhoders insist that the alleged
grand larceny extended over the whole
term of the truSteeShip-that is, the CONVEX
sion of the securities constituted one crime
and the continuous Withholding of them an
other-thus bringing the alleged crime
within the statute Of limitations.
The District Attorney wants to be sure
that there is a good case against Messrs.
Gould and Sage before authorizing an in
dictment against them. If he were to make
a mistake he would put the county of New
York to a very heavy expense without &C
complishing the object aimed at
1t is pretty safe to say that Messrs. Gould
and Sage will not wear prison stripes One
of them is believed to be worth 100000, 900
and the other $200o0,000, and with that
amount they would manage to stave Off
conviction even il an Indictment should be
found against them. 1t is not an easy mat
ter to send a millionaire to the penitentiary
although, if he be guilty of a crime, it
should be as easy to enforce the law against
him as it is against a man without penny
