Lewis Miller, president of the
Lake Chautauqua society, says that
when the society was first formed its
ground was worth about $500 an
acre and the cottages, together with
all the buildings belonging to the as
ISOLATION, did not amount to more
than 81, 900 or $4,000. The value of
the Chautauqua grounds at present
is about $4,000, and there are yet
unsold about $4,000 worth of lots
valued at from $25o to $500 each.
The management intends to erect
permanent buildings in the future.

queer requests, but his latest has set
him thinking. A Wyoming farmer
writes that he is thankful for the
package of seeds which was for
warded to him, and then quantity
adds that it's pretty hard work to
build up a new country without
wives. He says the prevailing SEN
timent of the Territory is in favor of
an importation of women who would
like to marry honest settlers, and
concludes with the remark that not
only are good homes awaiting the
lonesome spinsters of the East, but
if they come they can enjoy equal
political privileges with the men
Secretary Rusk states that he does
not propose to turn the agricultural
department into matrimonial agen-
cy, but he would like to help out
this waiting wooer if he only could.

A Singer of Quaint Songs.

Mrs. Eincks, who has made for her.
self very remarkable reputation in
the drawing-rooms of New York, is
about to give concert at Chickering
hall, writes correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle. Her career has been
rather an unusual one. The oldest of
a whole brood of creole girls in New
Orleans, she married. the creole
fashion-at the age of II, and began
even then to be the center of gay
circle in French quarter of the town.
She was only girl with long tails of
hair hanging down her back over her
white gown, but was even then a
human mockingbird with high CAROL
ing voice with which she sang half her
day. Like the gay southern bird she
had a quick ear, and the old melan-
choly slave songs that were sung in
the fields and swamps; the little, Groom
ing lullabys that the black mammies
sang to their little charges; the queer,
plalntive melodies that creole girls
sang in the convent gardens; the pas
sionate serenade of the Spanish creoles,
sung under barred windows on moon
light nights; the songs of the Sicilian
sailors or the Bretons who came over in
the French ship; the wild, furious liter
alive African bamboula songs all
these she heard in the many colored
old streets of French town, and repro
duced each as it had been sung, in the
same patois, with the same quality of
sadness or airiness or frenzy. For
years her home in New Orleans was a
show place. Whenever distinguished
visitors came and desired ''local color"
they were taken to her, and when they
saw the gray old court around which
the house was built, hung with vines
and green with orange and pomegran-
ate trees, and met the many sisters in
white gowns and little high-heeled
slippers, who chatted easily in four
tongues and play on twenty different
instruments, when they heard the
polygot folk songs of the mistress they
were used to exclaim, ooh, if you
would only come and sing those songs
in New York you would make your
fortune" So when disasters came
and the pretty old home was broken
up, and the sisters scattered, this say
ing came back to her and she deter
mined to try it here. Usually it takes
year or two to make ones way in
this city, but i'll her case the prophecy
was verified, and in the few weeks
since her arrival she has had a verit-
able triumph, singing in all the fash
ionable drawing-rooms, including the
Vanderbilts' and Astors', and being al
ready booked for the season in Lon
don, with perhaps Paris later. But
, she is anxious to be heard by the peo-
pie whom she does not reach in those
drawing-rooms. Those other people,
you know" she says with queer little
creole intonation, "the fashionables,
of course they are very kind; they
listen, they pay me very we'll, but
there is another sort who love music
even more, and It's to them ] want to
sing. / want them to Judge me and
say whether my queer little songs arc
worth listening to-

Samuel Murray left Easton, Penn
sylvania, thirty years ago and nothing
more was seen or heard of him until
few days ago, when he turned up at
the house of his brother-in-law in a
most dilapidated condition. He said
he was penniless and supposed he
would have to 60 to the poor house,
but when his brother-in-law offered
him home produced wallet con-
tanning more than $4,000, took bath
and had his baggage brought to the
house.

with gold molding, is thirty feet high,
and is probably the most costly organ
in any private dwelling in America.

The substitute had no sermon ready
and he used one of the regular minis.

much to tho wonder of the congrega-
ton. Among other notes were '.bite

''pious smile" and cloud, ringing

A Naval Examination.

Rear Admiral Stewart used to relate the
following anecdote-the incident occurring
during che examination of Capt. Tatnall
Tatnall, then Midshipman Tatnall, and q
very modest, retiring young gentleman
was ordere,i up to be overhauled, when the
following dialogue between rough, jolly
old commodore, the senior officer present
and himself occurred, viz:
Commodore-MI Tatnall, what would be
your course, suppOsing you were off lee
shore, the wind blowing a gale, both an
chors end your rudder gone, all your can
vas carried away, and your ship scudding
rapidly toward the breakers ?"
II cannot conceive, sir, that such COM
bination of disasters could possibly befall a
ship in one voyage"
Commodore -"Tut, tut, young gentle
man." said the sea-dog, severely, I'VE must
have your opinion. Suppose such case to
have actually occurred"
Tatnall-"Well, sir, calls all carried away,
did yCu say?"
CommodOre-"Aye, all; every rag"
Tatnall-"Anchors gone, sir"
Commodore-"Aye, not an uncommon
case"
Tatnall-"No rudder, either? ?"
Commodore AYE, rudder unshipped" "
Here the young officer droOped his head
despondingly upon his breast, and the "old
salt" continued, sharply:
Come sir, what would you do with your
ship ?"
Tatnall-( raising his head I'D let her
60 To-, sir, where she ought TO CO."
Commodore Right, sir, right. Mr..
Clerk, enroll Mr.. Tatnall as passed mid
shipman."

Five Writers in Single Car Who
Were Unacquainted.
New York Corr. Philadelphia Tim

New York Corr Philadelphia Times
l saw remarkable illustration not long
ago of the unfamiliarity of authors with
each other. Boarding Broadway car one
morning recently l noticed seated in the
fsrthest corner Edmund Clarence Stedman,
almost hidden behind a newspaper. At
Fifty ninth street the car stopped and in
tripped Ella Wheeler Wilcox, as fresh and
young looking as girl of 19. Gayly
chatting with girl companion the poetess
OF passion never observed the natty looking
poet banker sitting almost directly oppo-
site her. At Eighteenth street two we'll
dressed young men jumped aboard
and passed through the car to the
front platform to enjoy their
morning Havanas. They were Edgar
Saltus and Edgar Fawcett, 1.-THE two
Edgars," as they are familiarly called, be-
cause of their inseparable friendship. No
recognitions followed between the previous
occupants and the newcomers in their pas
sage through the car. But three blocks be-
yond the car came to an entire stop and,
aided by the conductor, Richard Henry
Stoddard, almost blind, was helped on
board. 1t is, perhaps, but natural that the
old poet noticed not those in the car, but it
did seem curious that not even a look of
recognition should pass between five Of our
most popular authors residing in one city,
all riding in one car and each seen by the
