ACROSS THE BAY.
Remarkable Feat Performed In Moving q
House.

Remarkable Feat Performed In Moving q
House.
A remarkable featin the way of house
moving was lately accomplished at Eu-
reka, Cal, reports the San Francisco
Call. Attorney Ernest Sewer, through
the workings of the law, found himself
in possession of one of the finest resi-
dences in Arcata. AS Mr.. Sewer lives
in Eureka and has no use for home in
Arcata, he decided to move the building
across the bay to Eureka. The con-
tractors set to work. The house was
moved to the marsh land near Arcata
by the usual process of house-moving.
Then a temporary staging and wharf
were built. Over this the house was
slowly transported to the waters edge,
where two rock barges, dashed together,
were in waiting to receive the structure.
It was, after considerable labor, placed
upon the barges, and then tugboat
took them in tow, and in a few hours
had covered a distance of seven miles
and landed at the foot of ] street, in Eu-.
reka. So well was the contract carried
out that the only damage noted was a
slight breaking of the plaster. The
house is a fine two-story one, and is
deliberately finished. When set up on
Mr.. Sewers lot in Eureka it viii be one
of the finest residences in the city.
When the house was being towed down
the bay it presented a very novel sight,
and hundreds of people went to the
water front to watch its progress.

"When l entered congress my pay as
q member was eight dollars day dlr-
ing the session, and it was said we had
roast beef but we paid TO- it if we had
it," says Senator John Sherman, in his
"Recollections." AT the close of the
saith congress the compensation was IN
creased to $4,000 year. During the
latter part of the war and afterward
prices of food, board and lodging were
considerably advanced.
I'm 1864 l offered the proprietor of
Wizards hotel my monthly pay of $3.50
for board and lodgings in very modest
quarters for my wife and myself, but
he demanded $500 month. This led me
to purchase a house in which TO live.
Il change which have never regretted.
1t was quite the fashion then for the old
families, who were in full sympathy
with the confederates, to underrate
property (even their own) in Washing
ton, on the ground that when the con-
federacy was acknowledged the capital
would be removed and real estate
could, therefore, be obtained upon very
reasoned terms

When People May Dance.

at gathering of Kings Daughters
at London, Ont, the other day, Mrs.
Graham, of Toronto, on being asked if
dancing should be tolerated, replied:
''Yes, but only in the morning, an hour
before breakfast, and then the woman
should dance with her husband or
brother" This encouragement of
morning dancing at time when morn
ing prayers are said TO be falling into
disuse, may possibly strike some Chris
tian as unwise. And there are sedate
leaders of families, not necessarily
Christians, who would kick vigorously

EVERYBODY RAG"
A New Southern Amusement That HAs
Succeeded the Famous Cake Walk.

The old southern cake walk" is be-
coming a thing of the past in some
parts of the south. In its stead there is
now a dance, which is known as the
rag"
The dancers form a square in the cen
ter of the dance hall, each standing sep
arately, man and woman alternately.
Then there is caller who stands in
the middle of the floor.
Join hands!" he yells. There is a
shuttle of the feet and the gentlemen
sasha" or dance, across the room and
join hands with the ladies. Both shuttle
their feet, when presently the caller
yells at the top of his voice: Every
body 'rag!'"
Dancing continues for some time, and
when all is over the best Raging"
couple are awarded the cake.
The rag" is a dance very similar TO
the "oId Virginia reel" but there is
more shutting of the feet and it is Of
longer duration.
