Popularity of the Dance.

There is great deal of argument in re-
gard To tho morality of dancing, but if any
ono has an idea that tho rotatory exercise is
growing unpopular in New York he should
contemplate tho patronage of the leading
dancing teacher of tho town, who has his big
square house on Fifth avenue throngcd with
pupils from morning till night, md then up
to IL o'clock. AT 5 O'Clock on every after.

breaking up, the avenue in tho locality is
thronged with a larger array of carriages
than the greatest social event in New York
could call forth, and the hurrying, skurrying

the metropolis.
A clever thing on tho part of tho swell

Tho Deer Was a Goat.

Claude Overstrcet and John o. Matthews
went out on a bird aunt over in tho fork, and
thinking they might find larger game, took
along some shells charged with buckshot.
While rambling about in tho fields near the
swamp they spied a largo ram goat, fawn
colored, with long horns, lying in a clump of
bushes same distance away, and as Mr..
CLAUDIO Ovcrstreet had never shot II deer,
John Matthews gave him tho shot. Claude
gotdown OH his hands and knees and crawlcd
about 100 yards, when, thinking he was near
enough to insure dead shot, he raised up
and fired. John Matthews had gone around
to take q stand for the buck in the event
claude missed him, and in doing so discov-
cred that it was a billy goat, but didn't
give it away to Claude. When he fired tho
goat jumped high in the air and gave n large
ta-ha-ha, but Claude ran up and cut his
throat before he discovered the mistake
