Suddenly, upon turning bend in the
road, l heard voice exclaim:-"Come,
git up yere, now; you've rested long
enough. KANT speck me ter be foolin'
way all my time wild you. Wanter take
you on up yonder an hab dis thing set
tied, SO, come, git up"
Looking TO the left of the road saw O
negro man sitting on log; and beside
him, there stood negro woman holding
one end of rope. The other end was
tied around the mans neck, and | soon
discovered that his hands were tied be-
hind him. The man was almost a dwarf
indeed, he was surely not more than
four feet five inches in height-but the
woman was enormous, weighing at least
two hundred and fifty pounds.

''Neber mine what's de matter" the
woman answered, "T'se dun suffered

"What forS"
'Dar you go ergin, man. What make
you come roun' yere AKIN so many ques-
lions; come on yere."
She gave the rope so vigorous pull
that the little negro was lifted from the
log, and, almost trotting, he followed
her like a poodle dog. The woman posi-
lively refused to answer another cues

but decided that would follow them to
the Court House. The county seat was
not far away, and the Court House was
soon in sight. Court was in session, and
a comical looking old fellow was on the
bench.
"What does this mean?" the Judge ex-
claimed, when the woman, leading the
little old negro, entered the room. "Why,
| never saw the like in my life. Turn
that man loose"
'No. Jedge," said the woman, mot les

An officer was ordered TO liberate the
man, and when he had been freed, and
while he stood rubbing his neck, the
Judge thus addressed him.

might as well expect to get up Irritation
In falling from the top of Trinity steeple
to the pavement. We shot out of Liver
pool as if we were discharged from NOR
tor. and in half an hour everybody of any
dellcacy of feeling was PROSTATE, and the
rest OF us had all we could do to hang on
TO the rigging. l didn't have my feet
square under my head one minute unless
while was in my berth. AS for the ladies,
1t was just five birthdays in succession,
poor dearsw
The joke wasn't original, but didn't
tell my friend so: it was evidently a case
OF the "ministering angel" necessity, and
Iministered good big dose of fattery
which he swallowed whole and felt better.
NO, the short voyages cut in dread
ttllly to that episode of summer travel,
which so many ingenious young friends
OF mine have ranked above all Others of
their experiences. 1.-THE Coliseum and
st. Marks and Paris and Florence are all
very nice, of course" remarked one of
these dear girls in a moment of artless
confidence. But, then, pictures and
DOCKS and other people give you very
good idea of these, If you greatly care for
that sort of thing; but, dear me, nobody
can give anybody else an idea how charm
ing nice Irritation is; now, can they?"
Try. Tell me as well as you can just
what it is, and let me see if it's anything
worth going on deck for."
So the darling tried, but l think some
other accounts | have received were even
more lucid, SO / will generalize bit and
give the rationale of this doomed
delight of the slow passages already pass
ing into antiquity.
The two persons destined to figure in
this comedy of one act may of course be
already acquainted when they embark,
but this is hardly desirable, as it fore
stalls some of the first scenes. 1t is
better that, as the lady bids a more or
less fearful farewell to the friends who
have come to see her off, she should
notice a cavalier who, without starting,
is attentively regarding her, and If he
has a friend with him, is evidently con-
tiding most flattering opinion concern
ing her to said friend. This is the
opening scene. The next is the pointing
out of the beauties of New York Harbor
lady's party; perhaps the steward Is
bribed to give convenient seats at table;
perhaps the purser or captain gives an iu-
production; at any rate, before the shades
of night and the fiend of seasickness end
this scene, sort of acquaintanceship
should be established. A day, perhaps
two, nov elapse, and the next setting is q
fitting deck, settees, couches, steamer
chairs and cosy rug-lined nests in various
sheltered hooks. The heroine, pale, tot
tering, fragile but cheerful, appears on
deck and makes toward chair; the hero
starts forward, with uplifted cap, and an
"Allow mei' to which the lady responds
with q glance, a smile, a murmur of
thanks.

You'll say, "The same old yarn again:
The sylvan brook, the speckled trout,

And took the cars to Princes Bay.
Along the sandy beach we strayed
And gazed across the glistening water,
The man we hired our boat of said:--.

The bait alone cost ninety cents.
We rowed, and rowed, and then we baled
Our boat out with Swimming dish.
Well nigh to Sandy Hook we sailed
And then, at last, began to fish.
That is, each held and watched his line
The fishes never made sign.
And yet there were fish. Other craft
Went blithely back, their days work done;
Our rivals showed their strings and laughed,
While we lay luckless in the sun,
afterwaru the reason learned
Ere we got there the tide had turned.
We gave 1t up and started back,
With blistered hands, to reach the shore;
And what had been three-mile track
Now seemed at least half q score.

Only one minute Late the station

Three fishermen, starved, brown and gaunt,
Crept slowly home from Staten Isle,
All fshless from their fishing jaunt

Judging from the data thus gained, l
conclude that there is something IN the
quality of sea air strongly conducive to
Irritation, and that about fortnight is
the proper time to fully experience It's
effects. l have talked with several East
Indian voyagers both men and women,
and these generally agree that the ninety
days, more or less, of the old Indian SER
vice, was quite too much of a good thing;
it became either stale or dangerous, some
times both. A Irritation is by its own
limitations brief matter, and like pyro-
technic display, should be as brilliant as
brief. A chronic st. Katherine's Wheel
would be an intolerable nuisance, and
Irritation of two or three months is a
monstrosity when the parties are com
PEELED to associate every day and all day
long. Either they will find out all each
others foibles, sharp corners and stupldl-
ties, and grow heartily tired of each
other, or the affair will become serious,
involving marriage, money and broken
hearts, the whole category of interests
too deep for summer pastime.

teen pin cushions lying on the dressing
table. The cushions are of all shapes and
sizes, and the pins are of every imagin-
able dimension from the tiny ribbon pin
to the long spikes women fasten ON their
hats with nowadays. There are pins of
great value and pins of no value at all,
pins with curiously wreathed and twisted
heads, pearl-headed pins, and pins of
gold, silver or platinum. There are pretty
pins whose heads are enamelled flowers
Tor catching together lace fiounces. pins
headed by balls of garnet or turquoises
Tor fastening belts, pins topped by cameo
for clasping a Greek gown on the shout

lizards for ornamenting a Spanish scarf
or fastening a streamer of lace on the
hair, pins in such number and artistic
variety. that Miss Cayvan uses them in
stead of buttons, fastening her gown with
four-leaved clovers tonight, and small
venetian daggers tomorrow. Miss Cay
van can't see a new pin without buying
It, and some of hers go back to the days of
Queen Elizabeth, when steel and ruby
mounted pin was personal possession to
be used in room of stitch or hook very
sparingly. Miss Cayvan doesn't care
much for jewelry, but of pins, ornamental
or otherwise, she has probably the great
est collection in America.
tourists TO Visit the Academy.
Tomorrow evening w. A. Mestayer,
Theresa Vaughn and their exceptionally
strong company of players will be seen at
the Academy Of Music in their successful
revival of "The Tourists in a Pullman
Car" the engagement being limited to
one week with regular Wednesday
and Saturday matinees. "The Tourists"
is the first of all the farce comedies now
before the public. Mr.. Messenger was its
originator. 1t has been entirely rewritten
and new music, now songs, new dances
and many new ideas have been intro
duced for the years tour.
The company comprises, in addition to
Mr.. Mestayer and Miss Vaughn, Emily
Soldene, Flora Moore, Florence Brandon,
James OFT, James Tierney, Charles
Wayne and Fred Queen, who last season
were seen here in 'Zig Tag" 4. A. Eage-
ton, Matt OFT and dozen other clever
people.
Mestayer is a magnetic comedian Of
great versatility, and decided favorite in
Jersey City, while Theresa Vaughn, in
addition to being beautiful woman and
talented actress, who has no equal in
graceful comedy parts, is the possessor of
phenomenal contralto voice of great
power and sweetness. Miss Vaughn is
also a favorite in every sense of the word
The Tourists" present in neat, chaste
and merry fashion bright melange of
new music, new songs, new dances and a
series of ludicrous situations. From the
already large advance sale the indications
point to big weeks business with this
popular attraction.

Jacobs HoboIen Theatre,

Today's performances, matinee and
evening, at the Hoboken Theatre will
bring the successful engagement of the
Rooney Comedy Company to close.
Then the patrons will see Dan Mason in
his new. farcical play, ga Clean Sweep"
To say that this play has made hit is to
describe it mildly. Dan Mason is always
funny, and there is bad boy in the play
who is hotel waiter and manages to mix
up all the guests in the house to such an
extent that every man imagines his wife
belongs to somebody else, and every
woman doubts if she is married to her
own husband or to some other lodger.
The fun never stops until the curtain
drops on the last act, where some sort of
order has been wrought out of the matri-
monial chaos. The humor is q little
rough, as is to be expected with this kind
Of play; but it is not of suggestive or
offensive kind. There will be no perform
ance on Wednesday night, as the theatre
will be given up to the political meeting
which is referred to in another column.

Her crimson parasol no more

The dress OF tulle and ribbons gay.

SOME OF THE NEWEST STYLES.

Gretchen Style for Brides and Sailor
Suits for Boys.
| Small colored silk handkerchief will be
worn about the neck.
Sailor suits will be the favorite style for
| boys. The trousers will be made long
and wide at the bottom.
| Silk stockings with sprigs flowers, a la
| pompadour, should match the dress in
| color.
Roses are used quite as much now as
earlier in the season for hat trimmings.
Real Indian fans are much used for
mantelpiece ornaments.
Irish crochet and genuine pure lace is a
stylish trimming for dresses.
A handsome morning dress is made of
paper blue woollen, trimmed with bro
caded satin of the same color, and straw
berry colored waistcoat of soft silk. Small
buttons are used all the way down the
trimming of the SKIRT.
In compensation for the simplicity of
the style of making gowns fashion has
decreed that the colors used shall be of
much brighter hues than has been seen
for many years. Bright yellow is prettily
toned down with trimming of black lace.
The old Gretchen style Of dress is being
much worn by brides An elegant bridal
dress made in this style has the under
dress of bright damask, the tunic plain
satin over chemisette of white gauZe,
cut square and low In the neck. This is
edged with full ruchings. The sleeves
were of gauze made in three puffs and
finished with deep cuff. The chatelaine
was of pearl beads.
The "four-in-hand" cape is very pretty
for driving garment.
Fringe and pinked out ruchings are
popular trimmings for morning dresses
Long feathers will be used for trimming
winter hats.
Wide sleeves and upper sleeves which
reach to the hem of the garment are seen
in the newest styles for winter cloaks.
The latest novelties in hats are toques
and bonnet of black or white, made of
grapes.

That angels look

And stole into my heart recesses, SO

And soft and low.

Broad at the heels and spreading at the toe;
