A NEWPORT EPISODE.
An Excursion Party That Took Posses
sion of u MilIionRire'S Piazza.

| One of the cliff cottagers, as they ar,
| called i'm Newport-the cliff cottages being
| the most costly and luxurious marine
! villas in the world -whs said To have told
an amusing and suggestive story of his
own experience
Il is the iu.nrmorial right of the public
in Rhode Island to have access anywhere
to the shore. that the right of every one TO
the common property of The sea may not
be abridged. Tnr beautiful walk along the
cliff, extending through all the finest
estates in Newport between the houses
and the shore, is due 10 Lnis privilege. The
result is not altogether agreeable to the
prOprietOrs, because the excursion trains
and boats nrc constantly bringing crowds
of loitercrs and pleasure seekers, who
choose for their lunch the choice spots
along this promenade.
One day party of rural visitors arrived
on the cottagcTs grOands to lunch, and
not content to r;~train their steps to the
walk to which they had a right, they con-
strued their rights freely. and under the
guidance Of an clderly dame wandered over
the lawn, and approaching the house as
lunch time drew near, assembled the broad
seward pi@zza. and disPosin& themselves
upon the chairs and sof&s, spread their
lunch upon The pitEHa tables ana made
ready for tie YcPGNt.
The owner, who from within had
watched the proceeding with some per-
turbation Of spirits, then appeared, in a
highly imperative mood, upon the piazza,
and addressing himself TO the elderly
dame, who was evidently the commander
in chief of the maraUders, said, with ex-
tremely strained politeneSs, that strangers
had an unioubted right TO walk along the
cliff, but that he had right 20 his house
and his piazza and lis tables and sofas
and chairs, and he should be exceedingly
obliged if they would retire Immediately.
As he spoke he confronted the intruders
with threatening severity of aspect But
the general commanding turned upon
him her benevolent sYectacles, and said
with the slavlty of an honest grandmoth-
er, why, law! You wouldn't turn us off,
would We? Sakcs alive. ye'd lie welcome
to eat your lunch on the piazza, or in the
house, or anywhere you pleased, up our
way" And she beamed upon him with
such benignity that, wholly Unprepared
for sunburst instead of storm, he was
speechless. and greatly amused Withdrew
from the field.-Georgc William Curtis in
HaTper'S.

How TO Dress the Neck.

New York Tribune.
The dressings of the neck has much
to do with q womsn's good looks. If
she has cords and bones below her
chiu she il crnde to bare herself.
What she needs is yard of
beads, a pendant reckless, a ruff of
fur, flowers or fringe, or a
collar as near her ear-holes as it can be
fitted. The lines which age first draws
around the throat can always be con-
cealed by a velvet collarette to which
anything can be applied-beads,
medalions, miniatures, cuff buttons,
flowers, brooches and even rings.
Then there are passementerie bands
in every width, jeweled with
medieval, Egyptian and modern
effects that are very pretty.
The Medici fat collars, with their
br oidery of mock gems, are not ex-
pensive, and, If undesirable, a scarf OF
diaphanous gsuze may be artfully ar
ranged pierced with jewel-hsudled
dagger or quaint ornament. The en-
br0idered Canton crepes are very
beautiful, and intended to be worn q
Ia Queen Louisa, close or loose about
the chin, and caught up in the hair
pins at the crown of the head.

REMARKABLE ICE CAVES.
Frigid Scenery OF Beauty Below Pine
Clad Hill.

| Clad Hill.
The ice cave, at Dobschon, was acci-
dentally discovered in 1878 by some
gentlemen of the neighborhood when
upon a shooting expedition. They
came upon an opening in the midst OF
pine grove whence current of ice-cold
sir proceeded. Cautiously descending.
they found themselves in glacial halls
and passages, which were afterwards
thoroughly explored. The cold radia-
ton from that part of the forest had
been generally known for many years,
but it was superstitiously attributed to
other causes, and the neighborhood was
carefully avoided.
Climbing the hill for about half an
hour, we came to the mouth of the
cave. A fur coat, which had been
heavy burden in the walk, now became
a valuable precaution against the chilly
air which issued from the opening.
The guide led the way down an in
clined plank walk, carrying torch,
and the company followed At the
depth of about one hundred feet we
came into a large hall of solid ice, bril-
liantly illuminated with electric lights
We passed on through three such icy
halls of cold sublimity," and along
numerous passages, foored and lined
with pure white ice. The floor and
walls were of solid ice, of immense
thickness, whilst from the roof and
along the sides immense stalactites of
crystal ice were hanging. Great pin
nacles of ice reared themselves at in
tervals from the icy floor. Trees,
columns. frozen cataracts, and fantas.
tic forms of dazzling brilliancy were
seen in every direction. AS the light
flashed upon these white and crystal
masses, they CLEANED and shone
with the luster of ten thou
sand diamonds. by means of
paths cut through the ice, and we'll ar
ranged flights of steps, it was possible
to explore great part of this wonder
full formation. In some parts of the
cave the constant dropping of water
was forming huge icicles, and the guide
said that it often became necessary to
blast away portious of the ice in order
to keep the pathways open, so rapidly
did it increase at certain seasons. The
rock to which the ice clings, and over
which it forms, is limestone, and
through this the water percolates, but
the mystery of the formation of ice in
these subterranean chambers has not
yet been solved. There is no lofty
mountain above the hill from whence a
glacier could descend, and the ice grows
apparently in the same manner as the
limestone caves of Virginia and Ken
lucky and Adelsburg are created.
Whatever may be the process, the eff
feet is brilliant and enchanting, and we
were loath to return to the upper air,
which seemed, by contrast, like that of
a heated furnace Toronto Mail.

REASONABLE HOURS,
Rule to be Observed by Gentlemen
Callers.

a Rule to be Observed by Gentlemen
Callers.
"Whatever other lessons | NAV teach
my sons, said sensible woman, there
is one bit of instruction that will not
be forgotten, and that is to go home at
reasonable hours. There are more sean
dals, more annoyances and more dam
aged regulations caused by late callers,
than by any other one social mistake in
the world. A gentleman calls upon
lady. lie enjoys her society and pre-
sunably she enjoys his, or she would
not invite him. When the hour grows
late he does not incline to go, and the
lady scarcely feels like limiting that his
absence is desirable, and so he stays.
Possibly he hints that it is time he was
going, when she, for courtesy's sake,
says: oh, it's not very late YETI and,
although she most ardently wishes
'Nhat he would leave, he settles himself
for another hours chat, and remains
until there is no possible excuse for
longer delay. Nine times out of ten
the lady suffers some annoyance in
consequence of such protractcd call,
and the gentleman also suffers in the
esteem of right-minded persons.
"One of the most philosophical of
modern society men recently said: If
men knew enough to go home at proper
hours, there would not be one scandal
where now there are ten. And they
can say what they please, it is not the
fault of the woman. No woman likes
To !,
sense enough to 60 of his own account,
she should do it, and save herself end
less annoyance and possibly open dis
grace
Young women who live with their
parents are less likely to be annoyed in
this way, than those who are dependent
on themselves and lead more independ-
ent lives. The fact of existing natural
guardianship is in itself pr election,
for big brother or father is sometimes
an uncomfortable adversary. But it is
the friendless girl who is the victim of
such indiscretion. Men call themse Ives
the stronger sex and should therefore
he the guardian of all women, especial
ly those who are young, weak or de-
fenseless. The man who takes advan-
tage of woman because he can, is a
coward, and unworthy the name of
man.
''My sons have from their earliest
childhood been taught that all women
and girls are to be respected, and that
they as boys and men should act to-
ward them in such way that no one
can be scandalized by their cond uct."-

The national powder mill at St.

1t is quite likely that the executive
board of Rochester, N. Y, will decide
to operate all of the lift bridges over
the Erie canal in that city by electric
power. 1t is estimated that, the neces-
