The Louisiana populist., 1895-06-07

A circus, which had been perform
ing at jackson, Mich. with forty-two
people, boarded train there the
other day, after seeing that vast
mass of scenery, carpets and the like
was taken care of in the baggage car.
Conductor Corey had been notified of
the movement OF the troupe and was
surprised to find only thirty tickets
and people. He took up the tickets
and passed into the baggage car.
While there he jumped or a roll Of
the circus carpeting, out Of which
rolled a circus performer. Search
revealed eleven more of them slowed
away in the baggage. Corey went to
the manager for tickets for the extra
men. lie did not have them and
Corey dumped the twelve OFF at Grass
Lake, and they had to count the ties
to Ypsilanti, thirty-six miles away, to
rejoin the company.

to Green Harbour" meant. III was T.
superb old place on the southeastern
coast, Just far enough from the Deach
to lend that soothing sound to the
breakers which is so pleasant TO near
at night after retiring. The house was
Of no special style of architecture.
Originally it was a spacious farm house
made many alterations and anneXa-
of the old New England pattern.
Ancestors of the present owner had
tions, and the present master had COM
pletely renovated and, in a way, mod
erniZed 1t. The old elmS and oaks were
still vigorous and luxuriant. and they
boasted of lineage that might turn
colonial dame green with envy. They
added also not a little to the beauty OF
the scenery.
Giving a party of this kind and size
Is not an easy matter, as some have
learned to their intense modification.
Great care and skillful judgment must
be exercised in the selection OF the
guests, who. for seven days, are to be
so closely associated. But the Claytons
were not novices; they knew the dis
positions and tastes of their friends,
and they gathered a thoroughly con-
genial company.
One lovely June morning the spe-
cial train conveying the guests pulled
out of the Old Colony station at Boston.
A ride of thirty miles brought us to the
village, where carriages, stages. carts
and wagons were in waiting to trans
port us and our numerous boxes to the
house. five miles distant.
1t is unnecessary to attempt a de-
scription of the joyous, brief days that
followed. Yachting, bowling, billiards,
dancing, tableaux and, perhaps, lit
tie Irritation occupied our entire time.
The weather was superb and every
thing and everybody was in perfect
harmony, when on the evening of the
fourth day Mr.. Clayton. while passing
through the hall, fell dead upon the
floor. The same heart trouble that
had ended his fathers life twenty years
before.
That the gayety and revelry was then
at its height made this sad incident
doubly shocking. A silence, sombre as
a pail. settled over all. Each guest
thought it his and her duty to leave as
soon as possible; they felt Ill at ease. de
trop.
Arrangements were at once made to
have the baggage and private servants
go by the early train in the morning
the guests were to follow an hour
later. My wife wanted to wake her
maid, who had been in bed for hours.
for the purpose of packing her trunks.
I thought this useless and said that 1
would attend to the packing: all that
was required of the maid was that she
