FIRST PEACHES OF SEASON
WERE ON SALE YESTERDAY
Shipment Consisted of One Car of
Texns ST. Johns and Early Rivers
Prices 81. 80 SI.10 Crate.

The first peaches of the season were for
eale yesterday on Commission row by John
w. Neumann & Co. The shipment-which
T. OF the first sent TO this part of the coun-
try-consisted of one of St Johns and
Early Rivers from Texas.
The demand for the peaches was fairly
active, and before evening a large part
OF the car had been sold. They were put
out in four-b sket lots from 81 30 to 81. 10 a
crate. Other shipments will be received
here this week, and next week the receipts
will become more liberal. Within two or
three weeks the price will be down TO 81
a crate-at least before the Texas crop is
exhausted. The crop will last about four
weeks.
The Texas peach crop is maturing little
earlier than usual this year and il was
some time later than this when the first
peaches of the season were received in
Isidianapo last year.

in behalf of the entertainment of his

first. So the gay ladies and their cav

6imples! That's what I'd dreamed OF,
with Percy a-staring at me, lost in ad-
miration, and love!" Her ludyship
stamps her foot. But what tits is
tbs" And she now picks up the wig
from the hearth and filings it on the
couch beside her coat and sword.
"'Tain't no more in this world fine

wedding favors and cake; no husband,
no children! Never, for there's no mar

my tombstone, and like as not the lines
following II be "a maker of most un-

Another flood of tears, and then my
Lady Peggy, obeying that well bal
anced head of hers, brushes them away
and proceeds to plan out her homeward
journey and to administer u cunning
retouch of the cosmetics she had erst-
while bought of the players apotheca-
~ in Drury lane.
But homeward way there could be
none just yet, for Beau Brummel had
made proposition Of a most lively af-
fair, which indeed he had already set
afoot, for the celebrating of Sir Robins
restoration 10 his friends by the timely
arrival and prowess Of Sir Percy. This
was nothing else than going to VauX-
hall by water on Tuesday night and in
masks. A score OF ladies and gentle
men had been hidden to join, including
the Ladies Diana and Biddy, the Hon
orable Dolly, the Misses Lowell, Lady
Chelmsford, with Lady Brookwood to
act as duenna for the unmarried fair.
In vain Lady Peggy protested; swore
She could not, would not. These gen.
tlemcn would not take no for an an
swer, and once again her ladyslip per-
ceived, as she reluctantly acceded to
the masquerade, how far more difficult
twas to be out of breeches than into
'em.
Percy was to be there; at least he
was invited. So much she knew from
Mr.. Brummel, and as Lady Diana was
positive to come up to town for such q
novelty as a party in masquerade Of
course her sutton was certain to attend
her.
Very well! Why should she, whose
whole life was to be passed in the COM
pounding of cream cheeses and the WIS.,
iting Of poor old women, not give to
herself one more cause Of vain regret
