REVIVAL OF THE JOHNNY.
Extravagances of the Past RiyaIled
by u Young Man Mt Theater.
Netr York Sun.

Once more there has come into profni-
nence at one OF the uptown theaters n
figure that has been absent for some time
from Tenderloin life. No recent produc-
ton at any OF the theaters has served to
awaken from his comparatively sound
slumber one of the old d-tiIHe examples of
the, type which, for the lack OF better
name, was generally knownas a" Johnny"
The duties OF this parsonage are not c1-
acting, although to assume them success
fully there / s needed an undoubtedly large
outlay OF money. He must attend the
theater regularly, send flowers to one of
the actresses, and treat the audiences with
an air OF mingled condescensiOn and pre-,
prietorship. The attention he attracts Is
likely TO depend chiefly on the regularity
of his attendance and the number OF his
bouquets, and if the recipient OF them oe-
casionaIly during the performance rewards
him with a nod or a smile, his position
may be considered fairly well established.
OF recent years the johnny has Ian
guished. "Exceisior, Jr.," revived him
temporarily last winter In very Juvenile
and harmless form, but anything like a
plunger in that line has not appeared in
many day.
A recent production Of comic opera sud
denly brought him forward in the most
acute form. Since the palmy days OF
Howell Osborne and Others no such speci-
men or this almost extinct type has been
seen. In the present instance there Is
extravaganza which rivals any OF the old
time achievements in this direction. Not
only S bunch OF American Beauties tied
always with ribbons OF the same color
passed over the footlights, but n certain

occupied by the person who is reviving
the almost forgotten giories of bis pre-
decesSors.
At present there is some little doubt as
to who the actress is who has been
able to turn hack the progress of time
in this remarkable way. One rumor has 1t
that she fills an humble but eOmely place
in the chorus, while Others say that she
is one OF the chief attractions of the FER
formance not only to her admirer, but
to the general public as well. Whoever
she is, New York is indebted to her for
giving it the opportunity to laugh at a
specimen of the johnny who is equal
to the most exaggerated specimen OF his
kind that was ever before on view.

70 wftness the mashup. Allday trains
poured Into Buckeye Park. gathering On
o slope commaDding view Of the track
for mics and at safe distance from the
point OF collision. Nearly 10000 people
were present from Columbus alone
A SPECIAL frack had been laid for the
colliding trains. The gully decorated en-
eines, named the Al streeter, from the
maa who bad the collision in charge, aad
the w. H. Fisher, from the general pas-
senger agent of the Hooking Valley rail-
road, were backed up the road by En-
gineers John Loomis and Pat Clancy till
they were mile apart.
At signal the engineers pulled open
the throtties OF the locomotives till a
speed of ten miles an hour was attained,
then the tbrottles were pulled wide open
aud the engineers Jumped, while the trains
rushed on to destruction.
Going at the rate of forty-five miles an
hour, they came together directly in front
OF the park with a crash that could have
been heard for miles. and the 8ir was
filled with debris. Both engines sprang
into the air and held each other by the
nose, while the cars piled up behind them.
The wreck was perfect. The locomotives
remained forming a perfect ..Y' and all
the cars were telescoped. The air was
filled with steam and hot water, and 25, 900
people We're panic-stricken. When the air
cleared and the wreck could be seen a
cheer went up from $4,000 throats that
might have been heard In Columbus.
The cheer soon hushed, however, when
it was learned that one OF the Hooking
Valley officials had been struck by fly
ing bolt and probably fatally injured.
The injured official was Thomas C. Peck,
chief clerk in the passenger department,
who failed TO stand far enough from the
madly rushing engines. A flying bolt from
one of the locomotives struck him below
the right knee, breaking the leg in two
places and lacerating the thigh SO badly
that amputation may be Necessary. Peck
was thrown several feet and rendered IN
conscious, while the railroad officials stood
aghast, as they had not apprehended the
least danger.
The presidents private car was sent
down from Columbus md the injured Of
ficial was removed at once. No less than
100 cameras were on the scene, and the
wreck was nearly torn to pieces by relic
hunters

GROUNDS OF THE ESTATE.
The garden ut Gunston, of which there
are few tracesDow, extended from the lawn
on the south front some distance in the
direction of the river. II was laid out
in terraces a:S1 separated from the lawn
by a closely bordered box hedge. Much
OF this box hedge remains. The bushes
are grown to the dimensions OF small trees.
AT the further end of the garden the hill
abruptly descended into an extensive plain
below. reaching to the water's edge. 1t
was inclosed as n deer park and was kept
well stocked with domesticated natiye deer.
On the west OF the hall was the school
house, where the children of the family
were taught by private tutors, who, in
two instances, were engaged in England
for this purpose. A little distance beyond
were the stables. q

Mason. THE west side OF the lawn was
skirted by a wood, just far enough within
which TO be out of sight was village called
Logtown, so called because most of the
houses were built OF hewn pine logs. Here
lived several families OF the slaves serving
about the mansion house; among them were
my fathers body servant, James, a mu-
latto man, and his family and those of sew
eral negro carpenters. 1t was very much
the practice with gentlemen of landed and
slave estates in the interior OF Virginia
to organize them 30 as to have considerable
resources within emselyes, to employ
and pay but few tradesmen and to buy
little or none of the coarse stuffs and ma
terials used by them, and this practice
became stronger and more general during
the Revolutionary War. which in a great
measure cut Off the means of supply from
elsewhere. Thus, my father had among
his slaves carpenters, coopers. sawyers,
blacksmiths, tanners. curriers', spinners,
weavers and kntters, and even a distil!er.
His woods furnished timber and plank
for the carpenters and coopers aud char
coal for the blacksmith. His cattle killed
for his own consumption and sale, sup
piled skins for the tanners, curriers', and
and his sheep gave wool
and his fields produced cotton and fax
