] started few weeks ago from my North
Caroline retreat, and in twenty-four en-
1oyable hours was in New York without
change. 1t was not the first time | had
found myself in New York without change,
and by recent arrangement the Pennsyl-
Nania railroad-which, by the way, / have
always regarded as one of our most tai
ented and gifted roads-has established
sleeping car service, by means of which.
without change, the New Yorker may, in
side of twenty-four hours, find himself in
the high and healthful hills of western
North Carolina with an appetite certainly
OUT OF PROPORTION TO HIS INCOME.
Reversing this order / came up on
train, arriving at Jersey City at 30. 1t
then walked on board a Fall River boat q
5;30, on whose decks as | arrived a de-
lightful band was playing "See the Con
Quering Hero Comes" Hastily doffing my
dapper little speckled straw hat | placed
in charge Of the steward, Mr.. David Wash
ington, a large watermelon, which | had
hurriedly bought and concealed in a shawl
strap and going forward was soon seen
chatting gsyly with bunco man, who
said that he had often been delighted by
my rare genius and such things as that.
He was q man, too whom l do not remem-
Der ever to have saw before nor since.
How many new acquaintance one may
pick up about New York if he shows
pleased and joyous nature. New York is
about eight sizes too large for me some
times think. Cohesset is more my size
Large towns make me shy and snort like
grass fed elderly farm horse at the Fall OF
Bsbylok fireworks. Inferior people notice
! me with scorn in New York and com
ment on my sylvan methods, but up here
associating with Mr.. Cleveland and Herr
Joseph Jefferson and Mr.. Booth and Mr..
Glider and Mr.. Robinson, all of whom are
at,r hair
etables at enormous expense,
I FEEL LESS sKITT1sH.
Mr. jefferson said Come up. Here
you are safe. There is not bunco man on
Buzzard's bay" So we took passage on
the Whyi q new steam yacht which Mr.
Robson is having repaired most of the
time, he says, for the rare exhilaration
afforded by knowing that he has a nice
yacht at the paint shop or the plumbers
lust getting the finishing touches put
on it.''
He claims that yacht most always
needs something done TO it to moarow, and
then il takes a day or two for the paint to
dry, and then you suddenly look at your
watch and find that the summer is gone
and work begun. Is il not so generally in
this lifel Oh, how often l sometimes think
that terrApin and Johannisberger go with
insomnia, while health and hunger often
go with low spirited bread and prune
sauce
oh, take me back, often cry at night as
the soft winds moan through The costly
laces of my easement take me back and
lay me once more across my mothers knee
as of yore, only taking care to have me
placed the other side up.
Charles Jefferson was the pioneer of
Buzzard's bay. He bought at $50 per acre
what is now selling by the front foot along
the beautiful waters of Buttermilk bay. I
think 1t is, an arm of Buzzsrd's bay, and
now one may see at eventide
THE HALE AND SLEEK CHARLES
glosting over his. i'll gotten gains, while
near by is the hospitable roof Of his fathers
CHEEKY house on one side and the prettv
cottages of Tom and Mr.. Jefferson's sister
COMFY on the other
/ was surprised to find Mr.. Booths
health so good and his endurance so great.
He listened 10 an entire play OF mine and
then walked two or three miles He said
he did not mind TO walk after hearing the
play.
There is more humor about MIR. Booth
than | had thought after seeing him as
Hamlet. Hamlet, he says, does not give
him much chance that way. | have offered
TO brighten up Hamlet for him on ROYALTY
and he is going to think it over for few
weeks. AS l wrsng his hand at parting he
said he might not do it the coming season
and possibly not the season after. SO / will
have plenty of time TO do it in a satisfac
tory way.
Mr.. Booth. 1 hsve.no doubt, is reserved
and quiet with strangers, and on short nc
qualntance does not seek to be the life Of
the party, but when he is among old friende
he is at his best, and his rine ewes often
twinkle in way to make YOU forget tba
Cordelia affair and the bad break meSa hv
Hamlet's mother. ~
With Mr.. Booths consent I oou,d mn,
into Hamlet scene which womb offer
opportunities for bright dialogue and Shat
field puns that need not detract from m .
dismal character of the play at all. but st1ll
give modern role to it.
Mr.. Jefferson is good host because no 10
not host at all. He does not restrain Won
by taking you in charge constantly. His
air is that of one who gives you the kew tn
the premises and then says help yourseIf
The etiquette Of being a host cannot he
