A MISGUIDED YOUNG FELLOW.
A Brash Remark and Feeble Attempt to
Look Ferocious.


Look Ferocious.
"You can't put me out"
Such was the brash remark of young
dude OF cigarette calber, yesterday after
noon, Ia Mr.. John Carroll, Of the Peabody
Hotel, in the rotunda OF that house.
In two seconds, actual measurement,
the young man was striving for his equl-
pose ON the sidewalk in front

Mr.. Carroll. There's a gang OF about
twenty Uf them, Young would-be bloods,
ranging IN age from iiliccn To twenty years.
They come and stand around here every
day"
"Order them out and keep them out Of
here" answered Col. Galloway, with no
visible sign OF relen,ing when the order
ING moment came.
The kids listened 10 the demands for
compulsory absence from the Peabody
with degree of Impotence, but their
poor little souls were too much alarmed

dudish forms were not bchcld there until
yesterday, when Mr.. Carroll spotted one

scttrc.
"llavc YOU forgotten the injunction Of

Then followed the language aud little
scene with which this narrative opens.

An Animated Snake Fight. From the Zsbulon (Gs) .Jourtal

MT. G. J. Fincher, man whose veracity has not been questioned since the flood, tells some remarkable facts when he has time to stop long enough. His latest runs after this fashion: He was engaged near the creek in replanting some corn when 6 noise on the bank of the stream attracted his attention. He went to see what was up and found two snakes apparently of the same size engaged in mortal com bat-the one king snake and the other a water moccasin. The king snake had the moccasin by the throat and was using his best efforts to put it under paralyzing circumstances. Finally both snakes fell in the creek, but the war was not ended. The fight grew hotter-so hot that the water sizzed for ten feet around. Down the stream they went-hissing, wrestling, sinking and swimming. They reached 8 water gap that stopped their downward march, and here it was that the mellow heart of MT. Fincher gave way, and, procur- ing hickory pole, thrust 1t at the snakes. So far as intentions were concerned it was 8 mis-liek. But on drawing the pole out he found he had run it through the head of a very large fish. The fish weighed, according to MT. FincheE's statement, seventy four pounds.

bility," pale, tottering and fearful No one totters to the altar now. It would not be "good form" But the bride must moi. on the other hand, romp up the aisle on the ex- ultation of her heart. The correct pace is. perhaps, best described as resembling that of 8 policeman on his beat. It is slow and stately.
 Another marked change in social customs is mentioned in connection with the etiquette of "small and early" parties. No longer does 6 hostess ask her guests to sing or play. This ordeal, so dreaded by the girl of 8 cou- pie of decades ago, is no longer to be feared. "1 hope you have brought some music, Miss Smith, !" was frequently the prelude to dis- tracting performance that gave pleasure to no enc, least of all to the player. And, strange to say, now that music is always professional, and generally worth listening to, it is difficult to persuade people to remain silent while it Is going on; whereas when amateurs were singing it would have been considered shocking piece of rudeness for any one to have talked till the lady had fin ished describing how she wore a wreath of roses, or the gentleman had finished dilating upon his homeless, ragged and tanned con- dition.
 At the dinner table it was considered the duty of the host and hostess to urge their guest to eat. This custom in our own day is entirely abandoned, partly owing to the now universal style of having all dishes handed round. The board no longer groans as once it did, the weight of the viands be- ing transferred to that chapel of ease, the sideboard, where, in seclusion, a hirsling oarves the joint and skillfully dissects the bird whose anatomy used to prove such an intricate problem to the bothered amateur at the end of the table Skill in carving is not now one of the polite accomplishments wherewith it is necessary, to equip youth for his social career. Till now etiquette books have been only unintentionally anus ing, but the present writer treats her subject with sense of humor that makes it easy readino
