which gives it the appearance of a
large bakers oven.
1t is. however, impossible to give a
pen picture of this lovely spot and it
must be seen to be appreciated.
The river is always very lively at
this point, Here may be seen the
Royal Mali Line of palace day steam
ers, also the daily line steamers to
and from Clayton. Cape Vincent.
Morristown. BrOckville, Ogdenburg,
etc., and various other craft en- route
from the great lakes to the Lower St.
Lawrence.
Among the pleasant hotels may be
mentioned the Thousand Islapd
House which commands from its site
many of the grandest views of the
river, in both directions, that are
gained from any poiut; and from its
airy tower the eye tskes in vision
which for extent and variety of seem
cry, is rarely equaled. To those who
have never been guests at this house
and who have never visited these
scenes, some stactIstics concerning
this king of all summer resorts hotels,
will be interesting.
ITs DIMENsIoNs.-The main build
ing is 276 feet long and &c feet wide;
the eastern portion is five stories high
and the western four stories, the diff
ference being occasioned by the un-
evenness of the rock on which it is
erected. From the center of the
main part, wing of the same height
and 40 feet wide, extends back 100
feet. A tower "a by n feet, rises
100 feet above the foundation. I'M
der the end is a natural celler in the
solid rock, 80 feet long.
EXTERIOR FEATUREs.-The hotel
is built on the solid rock which slopes
from its front to the river and steam
boat landing, only three rods distant.
A veranda IL feet wide shadows the
first and second stories along the front
and ends, the entire length being $40
feet. TIE Office and connecting rooms
of the east end also have a veranda, as
shown In the views. Balconies
ornament the tower, atfOrding the
guests opportunities to extend their
views at pleasure along and across the
river. The tower and Mansard roof,
with arched windows, gives to the
structure a most elegant appearance,
and harmonic pleasingly with the
rest of the building. The hotel will
accommodate 800 guests. Hay-fever
and malaria are unknown here.
Here beauty dvells and ills forget
To come and make the guest regret
He ever left his quiet home
In search of health and rest to roam.

A gentleman handed the Prowler a
communication in which he takes the
Young men of the city to task for not
escor,ing young ladies to church and
elsewhere and says among other
things: "My friend and | were tax.
ing stroll a few Sundays ago. 1
was much surprised to see how many
young men were 'out driving, three
and four in a carriage, taking in every
nook of town and country. Aud l
asked my friend, why where are their
ladies? "Oh." he says, very unconcern-
ed, "we people living in Sedalia are
used to that. This is common &C.
eurrence. The boys generally 60
alone for drive, ETC." He said ''to
convince you, if you will stay in town
over tomorrow night we will attend
the play" So | consented and was
enjoying the play immensely.when my
friend attracted my attention to the
crowd Of young men who had just en-
tered, and TO my surprise, alone. Now
| run in Sedslis very frequently and
am favorably impressed with the city,
but must say that the young men out
here are rather selfish in attending
these places of amusemen, alone. My
home is in the East, but when | was
single man L never thought Of en-
joying a drive, opera, etc., unless ac-
cOmpanied by some of the fairer sex.

THE PROWLER
Tells What he Happened Upon
While Carrying on his
Legitimate Bust
ness.

An imported fad among the gentle.
men at present, is to shave of the
hirsute appendsges which usually con-
stitute the larger part of masculinity's
face and appear in all the simplicity
which attaches to the school boy.
The fad is no doubt a comfortable one
for summer, but doubtless many a
man who has fondly imagined himself
to be mighty fetching" among the
ladies, as he views himself in the glass,
now has the tail feathers of his cOnceit
pulled out by the handful. Very few
men have pretty mouths, just as very
few men have pretty petal extremi-
ties and the mustache covers a multi
tude of sins in this respect which had
just as we'll be covered.

There is church going man in this
city, who is profane enough for sa-
loon bum. The Prowler heard him
dressing down a small boy who had
offended him few days ago, and the
boy was so much astonished at the
ease and abandon with which the
church goer put in profanity, that he
never cheeped, but walked away with
his eyes open and his mouth dropping
in such sad, hopeless sort of q fash
ion that even dog which was trotting
along beneath wagon stopped to lick
the stone bruise on his heel.

A couple Of youngsters some IGOR Is
years old thought to make a venture
out into the world, and started by
stealing ride on some train to Green
vile last Monday. Returning, one OF
them met with fatal accident at At
ton, six miles east OF this place. By
some means he was caught under the
wheels, and one leg was literally
crushed into a shapeless mass OF flesh
and bone from the foot UP into the hip
or side. Drs. Boyd and Taylor were
sent for and went out, but they thought
the case such desperate one that nc
surgical aid could be rendered that
would avail to save the sufferers life
He was taken to his home on the

died in a short time after reaching
