A Samoan Bathing Party.

By and by the visitors one by one
retired to their houses, and at about
10 O'Clock, the rain by this time
having ceased and the moon coming
out in all her splendor, the girls
suggested a bath. So off we started,
singing, laughing and chattering
like children just released from
school, till down by the beach we
came to miniature fresh water
lagoon. Each girl as she reached the
waters edge untwisted the lava
lava, or linen waistcloth, that
formed her only garment, and, as it
fell to her feet, dived into the pool.
Having improvised bathing suit
with towel, I followed, and there
in the moonlight we splashed about
and dived and swan, the girls with
their 1.-THE, graceful figures and drip
ping, cleaning locks looking like a
band Of dusky water nymphs from
some old pagan paradise. After the
bath the girls ran races, and was
initiated into the mysteries of a
game that was the Samoan equiva-
lent of the old English kiss in the
ring. All went merrily till the
shouting and laughter brought an
angry old gentleman on the scene,
who informed US that it was quite
time that all decent people, Samoan
or otherwise, were asleep. Not alto
gether eorry to take the hint, re-
tired under my mosquito nets, while
the girls stretched themselves out
on the mats around the house, and
soon we were all asleep.-John Har-
rison Wagner in Harper's Magazine.

Cattle are Cattle Just now, GatC.o with cap c. A couple of years ago you couldn't trade steer for much more than the value of his hide and the buyer kicked if the hide was very much disfigured by brands. Just at present the man who has a bunch of & few hundred head available, on alfalfa. is reviving the old. old title of cattle baron. Buyers skate around him aud implore him to sell, but sure of a rising market, he scorns all offers.
 The change has been a rapid one in the last month. Thirty days ago a man with a bunch of plain Sonora steers, of decidedly ordinary quality. found no takers at $2O head. Tues day last he refused to sell at S27 head.

From woman in the abstract the conversation had drifted naturally to a considera- tion of the more concrete expression of feminine phenomena-in other words the company was talking wives, and each member was putting in his little claim to reflected glory, even, as long ago did the happy husband of ono Penelope.

 Indeed she has," agreed the stranger who had just, been introduced to the club.

A dispatch iron Washington says
 that it appears to be the determanation of the Spanish cabinet to court martial General WeyIer. While not directly due to the request of this government, it is probably inspired by the intima- ton from the state department that his uttersnces were not calculated to smooth the way of negotiations. It is surmised that by thus acting with promptness has paved the way for coun- ter remonstrance against the pubiica. tions of fex- United States Minister Han his Taylor. The conditions i'll the two cases are entirely different. Weyler, being a Spanish army officer, :s amen- able to discipline fir any interference with the policy of the government, ,LIle Tsv'"r being private citizen, is not accountable to his government for his individual utterances.
