Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-08-30

that he is q just man. Even his enemies
must admit that. When we go out fishing
and return at night, Mr.. Cleveland will not
accept more than his just share of the catch.
do not say that Mr.. Blaine would expect
to catch 'chubs' and pumpkin seeds all
day and then expect to offset them against
brook trout, but at the same time I think
he might consider that his conversational
powers would offset his suckers, while Mr..
Cleveland does not try to SO work his diplo-
matte gifts as to keep him in grub. He is a
man who wants to give substantial Justice
to everybody, and of course this does not
suit those who never tried it. Mr.. Cleve-
land and his wife make good neighbors
here, and he has never borrowed anything
yet that he has not returned. help him in
haying and he helps me in harvest. We ex-
change works. let him have my 'autobi
ography' to read and he loans me some O.
his most spicy old messages to Congress.
THE FOOTBALL OF THE BOOM.
Property has greatly appreciated in this
country since the arrival of the Clevelands,
Jefersons and Gilders. From $32 per acre
paid by Mr.. Charles Jefferson, the price has
gone up to $3.50 and $500 and even to price
per front foot But fortunately the specu-
lator will not get chance at it, for the
colony holds enough of it to keep the semi
barbarism of boom out of it. What can
be sadder than the stealthy football of a 50
boom in the soothing silence of the pfimeval
forest?
Looking over the United States, it is
wonderful how health and pleasure resorts
have built up within few years. From
the east to the west, from the north to the
south, the coast and the hills are freckled
with cottages and inns for those who have
learned that a change of air is better than
the entire pharmacop9ia.
Nantasket Beach, the Coney Island of
Boston, is beautiful stretch of shore,
giving upon Boston harbor. 1 saw a
wagon load of young men on the Jerusalem
road who had been up to Nantasket and i'm
proved their health so much that they
spoke about it in high terms to every one
they met, even stopping good many car
riages to tell joyfully and vet with i'll
guided elocution and confused rhetoric,
how the sea air had benefited them. The
following day they followed up their
dietetic course with II hours gentle exer-
else in macadamizing the roads of Cohasset,
returning at night with healthyglow and
in charge of an officer.
THE HUB IN SUMMER
Boston does not seem so deathly quiet in
midsummer as New York. While the hot
MeatneT reuuceS Gne speed OF pedestrians on
Washington street somewhat, I succeeded
in getting a shoulder knocked off before
breakfast as was hurrying down to the
common for brisk walk and also to see the
parched and feverish frog pond, hoping that
at that hour I might find it moist, with
maynap frog in it. Boston used to be
called Shawmut by the chronological red
brother. 1t was afterward called fremont,
pronounced Tremmont. This pronuncia-
tion when it gets as far as Pittsburg be-
comes fremont and at Chicago, fremont.
1t really means trimountain, because it,was
located on the tops of three hills.
The herdic is favorite relaxation in
Boston among the middle classes have
fought with cabmen in all countries, but
never got hold of one that could whip till
I came to Boston this time. You always
know when you get into a herdic that you
will not only have pleasant little choppy
ride, but that you will know exactly how
much to pay when you get through. I'm
fortunately, paused to pick up my valise,
which had fallen off the perch of the driver
He should have gotten it himself, because
