On THE WING, Aug. S.-There is GER
ain charm to the woman who is wearied Of
The fashionable watering places. who is
tired of hearing Miss Nobody quoted as
being of great Importance, who has an ach-
ng brain whenever she looks at Mr.. Tom
Cad and thinks that he is quoted as the typ
cal American gentleman, in flying around
here, there and everywhere, where the No.
5odys are ignored and the Cads sink into
!he oblivion that is really theirs. That is
what being on the wing" means-it is get
ting the charm of one place and then flying
from there before any of the disagreeables
are discovered to some other place. 1t is
'eeking green fields and pastures new every
Two or three days.
THE SOUTHERN wOMAN'S PRIDE.
For my own part, have been up on
nights and down in valleys; have bought
fresh figs in Norfolk have stood in Holly
wood at Richmond and realized what
Iouthern women could do when they wanted
70. as looked at the monument erected to
Ben. Lee; and. by the by, that monument is
IN honor to the women of the south and
ilshonor to the ones of the north. The
Iouthern women from their mites erected
This to brave and noble gentleman, while
The northern women from their plenty let
the grave of Gen. Grant grow dishonored
ADD unmarked. unless it should be by Clair
mont restaurant. The old darkey's remark
w done got the monument for Marsa
Bob, now we will get one for Marss Grant
al exquisite piece of satire that ought to
hrlke home to the heart of every million
are IN this country who was on the same
nde with Grant during the late unpleasant
ness.
IN SOUTHERN MARKET.
Did you ever go to market in Norfolk?
And do you know what that means? 1t
means getting up about o'clock in the
morning and going out into the bright sun
'hlne TO see marvellous picture. Old NAM
mics with their bandannas about their heads
guarding piles OF beautiful fruit, fresh figs,
req and purple plums, peaches that blush
because of their sweetness, and pears that
seem to say, Eat me and see what am
IKE" Then there are the queer old
market wagons. no end of funny
hftle darkeYs all about who will
turn somersaults for a penny until you
mink they are living pinwheels, and who
WIZ follow you all around the market call
ing out your praises if you bestow a silver
piece upon them. Then there are the stalls
Win the little covers over them where
tresn punches Of mint and all the savory
SUN from the garden is sold, and where,
%hen you buy a bunch of anything, a
pushing sweet William, cluster of black
syeq Susaus, or a great, gorgeous holly
! nock is given to you to make it look pretty
IN your basket
ARTISTIC INSTINCT OF THE DARKEY.

uaVen half the natural instinct for it that
sne cololed people have, for they will lay

tSLASatoes' they will throw a red rose among
s"nY ngns brown potatoes, and bunch Of
