MR.. AsTOR's sI.ENDERNEss.


That the coming season in town, or at
the latest. the season Of '9o-7, will see tall
and thin John Jacab Astor dancing in a
c%otil]ion, CARRIED in black satin or perhaps
white satin small clothes, black or plum
colored coat and w~aistcoat, with black or
white silk stockings and low shoes, seems
one of the certain probabilities OF the time.
But it is not probable that Mr.. Astor will
take kindly to the fashion, He Is two inches
over six feet in height and does not weigh
more than a $50 ponds. In other words
he is extremely thin. Unless some judicious
thickening process be employed in the
manufacture of Mr.. Astor's stockings it is
to be feared that the head Of that great fam
lily will present but a sorry figure when at
tired in clothes like those worn by his great
grandfather, John Jacob Astor the First.
When silks and satins shall constitute
such important parts In the makeup of an
evening suit the poor man will find it q diff
cult matter to settle with his tailor after he
has ordered such an affair. 1t Is to be
feared that the price will go up alarmingly

Duns ii, Green.

A collecting agency operating in Maine
towns, is employing a scheme that is said to
bring a great success in bringing slow pay
ing debtors to time. The FIRST move is made
by a young lady Of great personal attractive
ness, whose business is to call on the mer-
chants and secure their membership in the
agency. After she has thoroughly canvassed
a town there come along in a few days a
number Of men dressed in bright green
coats, who get the particulars Of old debts
and debtors from the members and then
proceed to call IN their victims. The con-
tract provides that the horribly conspicuous
collectors shall make IS cal ; q day on each
creditor if settlement is not soon made.

Little Kiug of spain.

A friend Of mine, who has been visiting
Spain, gives me the following pretty account
Of her visit to the queen regent and her son,
the infant king. Says she: "We paid Ia
visit on our way through San Sebastian to
the queen. We found her majesty seated in
an inner apartment of the villa which has
been lent to her by the Duchesse de Balena.
She did not keep us very long waiting in
the corridor ere she sent an usher to lead US
into her presence. She looked very elegant
and was simply dressed in a white soft silk
spotted with black, and had a string of black
pearls round her neck. Her majesty en-.
tered into conversation about our Journey
through various parts Of Spain, and then
spoke very agreeably ct the queen of Eng
lands visit to her. telling us how charmed
she Was with the unaffected cordially Of
Queen Victoria.
"After insisting upon our taking tea, we
were led into the next ROOM, where we
found his Spanish majesty, in a rather
soiled white frock, %sprawling upon the floor.
As he did not rise when we came in his
royal make very sharply to him, and he
presently got up and made us a civil sort of a
bow. We spoke to him in Spanish and he
answered very readily, and then we ven
tured upon a few words of English, which
he understood perfectly. He has an English
nurse, and is brought up rather after the
style of English children. He is very good
natured looking and intelligent. His chief
or head nurse is the Sonora Tacon, who
educated the Infanta Isabella, and goes
with him everywhere, especially on the
beach, where his majesty has a very good
time with any of the children of the arts.
tocray who may be playing about. He is
very fond of drilling little soldiers. The
queen told US a very funny story about him.
1t seems that during the winter, when he
was attending mass, and the priests, as is
usual with them, were mumbling the prayers,
the king suddenly cried out in a loud voice.

As the bailiff's finger rested on a certain

"By the way, Mr.. Herod," remarked the

High Praise of Col. Carr's address

Speaking of the address made by Col.
Julian S. Carr at the Confederate Re
union in BERTHE county, the Wilmington
Review says;
We have never read anything with
more of interest and pleasure. Never
since the close of the war have we seen
nobler, manlier and more truthful ut~
terances in pHnt. Colonel Carr Hkens
Gettysburg to Waterloo, with the odds
largely in favor Of the former. The
forces handled by Napoleon and Lee
were nearly the same, the losses closely
appropriated each other, many OF the
Incidents Of the struggle bore won
aerful similarity and the causes of de-
feat were largely alike. But here, as
Col0ael Carr says, the similarity ceases,
Napoleon was utterly cast down and
discouraged and sought death on the
field; his army was dispersed and became
a struggling, panic stricken body Of men,
while Lee held his men firmly in hand
and made an orderly retreat towards
Hageratown. $50 against the Lilies Of
France we place the Stars and Bars and
against the genius of Napoleon that Of
Robert z. Lee"
In his closing remarks Colonel Carr is
grand. He hurls back the malicious and
cowardly cry of rebel and traitor against
those who made them as UNANIMOUSLY
false, and his tribute to the leaders and
generals of the South Is magnificent
piece of word painting. as one of those
who can forgive but can never forget we
thank Colonel Carr most heartily for his
magnificent defence and justification OF
the South.
