Tho business partner of ono of the

Quotations from Authors.
It is q merry dance that Fashion leads
rs with her capricious fads and fancies.
Now it is in the method of shaking
hands, and then it is the religious fol-
lowing after each other in the matter
OF amuscments. We take, says the
New York Sun, to amateur acting and
are devoted to Summing. WEI go in for
skirt dancing or Salvation Army work
just as the mischicvous swill-o'-the-wisp
leads us. The latest freak is for Turk
lsh bath parties, where one woman Sc
cures the baths and invites all her
friends to come and be clean. The
gentlemen join the party when tho
curls orc oil in order again, and the
affair winds up with supper, where
the Indies, with their glowing facos
and bright eyes, wait and wonder
where and when the things,will ever
be ready to eat. There is something.
unique in this bath party idea when
ono gcts accustomed to it and under
stands that ones hostess doesn't at all
mean by her invitation that her guests
nre rcmiss in the matter of ablution,
but that they will enjcS the bath sole
ly for its luXuriousness. And if this
form of entertainment lacks the attri-
butte OF gedlincss, it may claim that
which hes nearest it-cleanliness.
Another kind of party also much in
vogue with women just now is q "fad
party" It usually takes the form of q
luncheon, where everything is rose col
ored and tied up with bows. And
every woman is Obliged to confess her
pet fad, which, when it has made it's
blushing bow in conscious modesty, is
toasted and talked over. Then there.
is the literature party. in which the
woman's club dame or tho Chautauqua
circle girl rovels. 1t is played some
thing on the principle of progressive
cuchrc, only that the guests find at one
table four scts of partially-writtcn
quotations, which they arc re Iuircd to
I'LL out; at another names of books,
whose authors nrc inquired for; at an
other pscudonyms to be assorted among
the rightful people. This game is very
exciting to the Philadelphia and Bos-
ton suburbs girl, the prizes bcing
books. OF course, como of the danes
who went to tho Drowning readings at
Sherry's this year in diamonds and vel
vets, and ut the conclusion of the
course when q request browning pro-
gramme" was offered, called for Rock
Nc to Sleep, MoJilcr,".aol ''Thc Cur
few Shall Not Ring Tonight" raightn't t
sec the hilarity in such form Of diver
sion, but the woman to whom the en-
tertainment appeals can't sleep niEhts
for thinking of it.

RELENTLESS FLOODS.
Now River Region In Louisiana Swept by
the Risinp Wntera.

NEW ORLEANS, July 3.-Suddcnly and
almost without warning, the relentless
waters pouring through the Rescue crew
asse, now 800 feet wide, swept down the
New river last Tuesday night carrying
destruction and terror in their path. Many
OF the unfortunate people are yet endur-
ing the pangs of hunger, for they have no
means of securing food, and it will be
fortunate, indeed, if all are succored be-
fore starvation and exposure find victims
among them. So far as reported ten lives
have been lost-a white girl, three colored
men, one colored woman and five colored
children. whose names have not been
learned
The New river country has frequently
been overfiowed, but no previous flood has
compared i'll depth, extent or the sudden
ness of its coming. The one that now
covers 1t in places that were wholly I'M
affected by the crevasses of 1882, 1891 aud
lSs'2, are now several feet under water, and
localities heretofore believed to be above
overflow are now submerged. An idea of
the extent and depth of the flood may be
formed from the fact that there is from
five to seven feet of water ut Dutchtown,
and that Captain Henry Doyal's house is
the only one along the entire extent of the
New river settlement, n distance of some
% miles, with its floor still above the sur
face of the flood. The water was OH Il stand
at Captain DOyal's all day, and it is hoped
the steady decline of the river will affect
the backwater, at least sufficiently to pre-
vent any further rise
Two fleets of skiffs have been sent to the
rescue, which it is ho1Ad will be able to ac-
complSh the work of Saving ali the people
from the flood section.

NASHVILLE, July 3.-Colonel Andrew
Jackson, who for several years has resided
with his family ut the Hermitage, is pack
ing up the Jackson relics, which have so
long been kept in the old homestead and
which are his personal property. Colonel
Jackson will have to leave the Hermitage

Is arranging to take his effects with him.
The Ladies' association which secured
control of the Hermitage with % acres of
ground from the state made an attempt to
raise money to purchase the Jackson relics
from Colonel Jackson, but only about 81
800 had been secured
An option had been secured from Colonel
jackson which gave the society the priv
lege OF buying the relics for $1,000 That
option was about to expire, and the ASSOC
citation applied to the Legislature for an ap-
preparation Of Sl5,0 900 for these relics, to
Keep them permanently in the historic
residence OF "Old Hickory" The general
assembly declined to make the appropria-
ton Colonel Jackson did not encourage
the movement for an appropriation, but
preferred that he and his family should
have the privilege of remaining at the
hermitage and taking care of the relics.
Since the state has not purchased the relics
and since he is compelled to leave Colonel
jackson proposes to take his property with
him. The property consist of all the fur
niture, the carpets, the silver plate, the
bric-a-brac, the apparel and the mementos
once belonging to Andrew Jackson. It, is
learned that Colonel Jackson has made ar
