WRITING A CHECK TO PAY FOR HIS PRESENT.
have become more intimately acquaint-
ed up here since the great mass of sum-
mer people, as they are called, have taken
the wings of the railroad unto themselves
and flown to their city homes. The num-
bers of people have narrowed down to a
small select few, and while the men, who
have remained late for the purpose, are
out shooting, their wives are busy con-
structing the Christmas presents that they
are going to make this year without in
volving the corpulence of their pocket
books
Of course they will be obliged to make
many presents that will involve an actual
cash outlay; but where they make one of
these they intend to even matters and
strike decent average by endeavoring to
make a few poor relations happy with
gifts fashioned at home. To be sure, they
argue, these gifts will be dearer in every
thing but an intrinsic sense from having
been fashioned by the hands of loved one
One of them is going to make crazy
quilt for a rich sister-in-law because it will
cost her nothing. That is woman's idea
of economy. She will sew together thou
sands of pieces of everything-cravats,s sus-
penders, old dresses, bonnet ribbons, out
Ing SUlrUS anu SILK SUOCkluRS-uuUll u6E
fingers are weary and her eyes are sore, and
consider that when the gift is finished she
has saved two dollars, which would have
been the price of copy of Cowper's poems.
Other women are making sofa pillows of
sage and ecru silk stuffed with balsam
and embroidered with all sorts of pictur-
esque conceits of breezy Arcadian char
acter-sheep gamboling over stony slopes
sha,, in b11ca hot nd foe
lingering under trees that look as though
made with scissors. In all probability
some of these women made costly presents
last year, and got the worst of the ex-
change in which they received pincushions
and platter cloths. Consequently they feel
1t a duty to even matters. Then there are
the eccentric articles they are obliged to
make for fairs, such as scrap baskets con-
structed of wicker eelpots cut into proper
lengths, sausage fashion, and card receiv-
ers artistically constructed of ancient bath
ing hats, and ash receivers made of sea-
shells fearfully and wonderfully decorated.
Then hornets nests, with the place and
date of the finding, and all sorts of aesthetic
nothings made of knickknacks come in
for kindly consideration.
But all these women believe that present
making, like charity, begins and, figura-
lively speaking ends at home. And they
all declare that they will make their hus-
bands costly presents, if they make any,
inasmuch as they will come out ahead in
the exchange. They have already made
the announcement that they want diamond
earrings, necklaces and rings, and, feeling
certain of getting them, they say they will
give gold watches, diamond studs, ETC.,
and when they conclude, the somber Christ
mas tree that is waving gracefully at Lake
George seems to murmur wickedly in the
breeze, "And you might give each husband
an artistically worked penwiper, with
which to wipe his pen after writing the
check to pay for the present you have SO
kindly and considerably made him"

Anticipating the Yulstide.

BOLTON N-oN-LAKE-GEoRGE, NOV. 9.-It
has been said that it is during the mid
summer that the small boy begins to look
forward to Christmas and to wonder what
he is going to find in his stocking on the
morning of that happy day. He even speaks
of the things which he trusts may find
their way down the chimney to fill his life
with joy. Yet it is not at all strange that
these Christmas longings should seize the
small boy, for in nine cases out of ten he
inherits them from his mother, who about
the first of July looks fondly and yearn-
ingly forward to the 25th of December
every time she has passing thought of
diamond necklace, a sealskin sack or a
box at the opera.

Cling and writhing mass of snakes, and then
the patent eel spear was brought into use.
At the discharge of the gun the snakes that
were not killed or injured glided away in
all directions and escaped into assures in
the rocks. Before the last fleeing snake dis
appeared, however Lakin and his compan-

The rattlers were all of the black variety.

w. r. Vaughn, of Omaha, Neb., formerly
mayor of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and man
of independent fortune, according to his own
statement, made an address Sunday night to
a large assemblage of colored people in the
Metropolitan Colored Methodist Church, in
Washington City, in which he proposed that
the negroes demand of the government PEN
sions for all ex-slayes. Mr.. Vaughn is the
author of a bill which was introduced in
Congress at the last session making proyi-
sion for carrying out his proposition, but as
very few people had ever heard of the bill,
it was with evident surprise that his audi
ence listened to his remarks. Mr. Vaughn
said that as the negroes had been held in
bondage in this country, and had added
materially to its wealth by their labor, with
out receiving in return any compensation,
the country necessarily owed them debt.
he was in favor of paying this debt by issu-
ing four hundred millions of dollars in bonds
to run fifty years, and drawing interest at
the rate of two and a-half per CEN. a year.
This sum, he said, would enable the cavern
ment to place upon the pension rolls every
negro that had been slave. A wild
scheme, truly.
