A few weeks since we published a letter from Claude King, in the Indian country, to a friend in this city. Weare now permitted to make a few extracts from aletter recently written by his brother, who is in Texas, to his uncle, B. F. Moffett, of this city. Both were Star boys, and still retain an affection for the old “Evening Luminary.” Marra, Texas, August 15, 1883. The fleas are so bad that I got no rest the first two nights after my arrival, but at last tired na- ture succumbed. I think Icame through the most forbidden looking country to reach here that I ever saw. Nothing but bluffs, rocks and sund. No shade, no trees. Only cactus and a species of grass, to eat which would require a cast-iron digestive apparatus and steel intes- tines. This place is about 5,000 feet above the sea level. Seven tents, one knocked together frame building and a railroad depot comprise the tow! A few cattle are raised here, but they look as though they might starve any minute. There is one store and ene hotel. The store is & tent 10x18, and everything is three prices. The store is also the saloon; two barrels and a row of dirty tumblers constitute the set-out. When it rains the proprietor is kept busy mov- ing his stock into a dry spot. The proprietor of the hotel (also canvas) is the boss of the store, and thus serves his patrons ina dual capacity. Enterprising Texan! The chief cook Is also head waiter, and is unquestionably the dirtiest specimen out. I never got up from the table without regretting that I had been forced to in- sult my stomach in such a way. Every bucket of water costs five cents, and ten cents are charged for a drink for a horse! Oh, this Is a gorgeous country for sunsets and rattlesnakes!

The Ball Players Who First Mastered the Peculiar Delivery—Bob Matthews on Curves, From the Philadelphia Pre In those days when the first professional asso- ciation was just getting on its feet there were no castiron regulations about where the players should sit or stand, and very often a whole team stood close around the batter, giving him points when they could, and spending the remainder of the time in ‘“chaffirtg” with the umpire or pitcher. Cammings’ delivery was known to every man in the profession as very peculiar, and Matthews, whose straight work was bezin- ning to give way before it, made up his mind to take advantage of a position near the bat to learn the secret. He watched Cummings’ hands carefully, noting how he held the ball and how he let it go, and after a few weeks’ careful prac- tice in the same way could see the curve in his own delivery. Then he began to use it in matches, striking men out in a way that no one but Cummings had ever done before, and ina short time he was known as one of the most effective pitchers in the field. To-day he is pitching the same old curve, with all the tricks in delivery that years on the diamond have taught, and the batters don’t seer to nit him much better than they used to. Other pitchers: had to take up the curve or quit playing, just as McBride and Pratt did, and before the Centennial the regular craze for curve pitching had set in, which finally forced both ‘ue and association managers to abolish old pitching rules and allow any throwing delivery which would assist in puzzling the batsmen. Every pitcher was popularly supposed to have @ choice selection of curves which he sent in at pleasure, and his value was usually reckoned on the number of different ones he could use. That idea, by the w: is still prevalent, and there are many people who believe in an “up” curve and a “down” curve, an “in” curve and an “‘out” curve, a zig-zag and a “double” curve, and “shoots” and “jumps,” and fast and slow balls to match. “ That's all a mistake,” said Matthews, while talking over some of his experience. ‘I never saw but one curve, and never made any more. Of course a ball will shoot in a little distance, but you can’t call it acurve, because you can’t hold that kind of a pall so as to make a curve out of it. The only genume cueve is the one which turns out from the batsman, but, after two or three of that kind, a straight ball, if it is properly pitched looks as if it was turning the other way. ‘Drop’ bails, or balls which apparently shoot or curve downward, are all deceptive work, and are thrown from the highest start the rules allow. Rising balls are the same thing, started from as near the ground as possible, and pitched up- ward. ‘Slowed’ balls are started slow, with an apparently fast flourish, for if they were ever started fast I don’t know what skill could hold them back, and, as to balls which go both in and out, why that is a manifest impossibility. I know there have been several tests made of that, one particularly at Cincinnati, where four posts were put up and the pitcher required to make the ball go on one side of one and the other side of the next, but I don’t think he did it. If he did it was through some deception in regard to the place where he was standing. No, sir. Good, strait pitching, thorough command er the ball, a good out ‘curve,’ and a good in ‘shoot’ are what the great pitchers are working with to-day, and J, for my part, don’t believe in anything else.” = see AN INDEPENDENT TOURIST. Her Experience on a Cheap Seaside ‘Krip—Working Women’s Vacation. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. “T’ve been down to the ocean,” remarked a saleslady in a Market street store to a newspaper man of her acquaintance in an uptown car last night. The reporter remarked her sunburnt appearance. “And there are plenty of sewing girls and workingwomen who could be betterand healthier and happier to-day if they would only do as I did.” A little judicious questioning brought forth the following which may interest a very large class of women whose means and opportu- nities for a pleasure trip are limited. “My salary is noflarge and I had not been away trom the city for two years. I had $10 saved that I intended buying a +dress with. I wanted a rest too, and 1 finally concluded that I could do without a dress better than a rest. Then the question of money at home came up, but I feit this way, suppose I was taken sick, and could not go to work, and would have a doctor bill to pay, the folks would get ulong somehow. And here I would be taking a rest and getting ready for renewed exertion. I bought a ticket for the seashore, excursion of course. There was $10 gone. Then I sayed up €10 more, my salary for two weeks, and started. Iknew I couldn't afford to stop at a big hotel tor two reasons, my purse wasn’t long enough and my wardrobe was at fault.

Of course I did not attend the hops at the hotels, and the dances at the Excursion houses were most too common. I stayed a week there and then came back to Philade!phia one morning. I put in a day walk- ing around the -treets and looking at the sho) windows. ‘Took 4 street car ride to West Phil- adelphia, after getting a zood plain dinner in a restaurant, and took a night train for home, but not a sleeping car.

Now I don't see why almost any work- ing woman cannot do likewise.” “But every working woman hasn't $19.50,” suggested the reporter. “Well, if they haven't that much, they might by depriving themselves a little get half the sum.

In the large parlors of the Grand Union hotel there is on exhibition every evening a most re- markable old lady. It she were to be placed on the stage just as she appears in this room, she would be called a gross exaggeration. It would be hard to make the pubiic bellevethat her like could be found in real life. She occupies stuffed arm chair, which elevates her as upon a throne, and calmly the guests in review until 9:30, when she retires with great solem- inity, followed by her admiring husband. The old lady's nameis Crouse. She is from Syracuse. Her husband was in early life a grocer, ina very small way. He worked hard and became rich. The latter part of his life he has devoted to his money, so that it now amounts to several millions. The husband and wife were uneducated,and used to manual labor at the outset of their life, and so when their money came they enjoyed its possession as few do who love money. For forty years they have been rich, without losing one day the keen zest of the sion and power of much money, Every year ofthat time they have come to Sara- toga to spend the season. They remain here for two months, and are so well known that they hold regular receptions whenever they ap- pear in public, so well are their peculiarities en- joyed. Mrs. Crouse is over seventy years of age. Let us look at her enthroned in the grand main parlor, a little to the left of the main en- trance, peering with her keen black eyes at the assers-by. She looks like a great lay figure Ir the exhibition of jewelry, laces and silks. Her face is coarse-featured, heavy lined and highly rouged. Her eyes are clear and bright. Her nose is large and straight, inclining up- ward. Her mouth is thin and curved toward her double chin, sinking down to a figure that is perfectly shapeless, hidden in billows of fat. The face is a kindly one, wearing an almost childish look of pleasure. Itis made up as if forthe stage. The lips are tinted, the cheeks rouged, while the layers of fat under the jaws are powdered. Above this mask of artificial bloom is a heavy jet-black wig of curis, coming well down upon her forehead. The eyebrows, too, are artificial, being pertectly curved and jet black. Upon the black wig is a great wreath of artificial flowers, so glaring in color as to at- tract as much attention as an electric light. Back of this crown of color is a purple-trimmed lace cap. In the ears of this strange old lady blaze great solitaire diamond ear-rings, price 8,000. Around her neck is a gola chain twice as heavy as any dog-collar ever made. In the middle is a bar of huge diamonds. From this descends other chains over a surface of black satin and point lace to a girdle, where a watch and charm encrusted with diamonds repose. The left hand is loaded from the knuckles to the right joint of each finger with diamond rings. Her hands are bony, and show the evi- dence of the hard manual labor of her early life. But the large joints hold on the rings better than a more supple hand. The right hand is adorned with only one ring, but it is a great, blazing opal, encircled with diamonds. Her black satin dress, stiff enough to stand alone, is covered with black thread lace. White duch- esse lace Is about her heavy wrists, and fairly swaddles her short neck. This is the way she looked the evening I firat saw her. But I understand she has a dress for nearly every evening. Sometimes she will come down with a pale yellow and tea or China blue. but always.wearing on her head the variegated crest of flowers. She talks of nothing but dresses, her laces, and her diamonds. When she meets any new lady acquaintances she in- variably asks about their laces and their dia- mondg, and if they can not teli a good story in this connection she takes no interest in them. She has no desire to know people who have no laces or diamonds. By her side sits her husband, her opposite in everything so far as mere ap- pearances go. He isa tail, handsome old gen- tleman, with snowy white hair and beard. He is plainly and most tastidiously dressed. There is not the simplest indication of display upon his part. But he heartily sympathizes with his wire. avd admires her as artists do the realization of their loftiest ideals. He is always ready to talk about his wife. He will say, with an amiable smile upon his peaceful face: **How do you think she Is looking to-nigh “Splendid!” you sa: “Well, she is splendid. She has all the money she can spend. How do you like those diamond ear-rings: I paid $4,000 a piece for them.” “Beautiful. Beautiful, you say. Well, yes; but they Won't cowpare with that bar of diamonds at mother’s throat. I paid $15,000 for those.” Mr. Crouse will go lovingly over every item of his wife's wardrobe and check off the prices of each bit. He regards her as the toy figure of the shop-window ot his life. He is constantly thinking of something that will cost much money to hang upon mother. Mrs. Crouse is equally free with her informa- tion about the cost of articles ot her wardrobe. A few days ago a niece of hers was here ona visit. The old lady introduced her niece to one of the ladies of the hotel, and said: “Look at the lace on my niece’s dress. There are fifty yards of lace in that trimming, and it costs $17 ‘a yard.” Nearly all the ladies of the hotel know this couple, and always make it a point to talk with them during the evening, humoring their most innocent vanity. When the hour comes for them .to leave the parlor every one turus and watches Mrs. Crouse. She is so fat that she rolls from side to side like a low-laden craft in a heavy sea. Her husband acts as a convoy to this most precious freight. walking Just behind her, feasting his pale-blue eyes upon the blazing lights of the diamonds. At home, it is said. the Crouses are perfect models of kindly hospitality and generosity. Mrs. Crouse gives away thousands every year in charity. If anybody who calls upon her hap- pens to admire anything especial, the article is sure to be sent home to her after the call. The Crouses and their sayings at Saratoga are an endless source of entertainment. After all, they get apparently more amuse- ment out of their money than any other of the millionaires at Saratoga. The United States hotel is the headquarters of the millionaires, and it is the dullest place intown. The old gentlemen about the place look dull and bored. They talk with each other on regulation sub- Jects, take littie routine rides, always over the game roads, play the same game of cards at the sane hours, and lead as monotonous lives as if they had only a moderate income. ———_<o. American Need of Sleep. Dr. Selden H. Taicot, superintendent of the state homeopathic asylum forthe insane at Mid- dletown, says that our national lack is that of recuperating sleep. Against the use of the so- called hypnotics in massive doses he protests, because the temporary benefits are heavily dis- counted by the evil effects which almost always follow. Two conditions oppose the requirement of sleep. These are hyperemia of the brain— stimulating it to undue activity, and playing the part ofa whip and spur to a ‘tired horse— and the opposite of hypermmia, excessive cere- bral anemia. To relieve the former by rational metliods, the blood forces must be enticed away from “‘their persistent assaults upon the cranial fortress.” Thiscan best be accomplished by filling the stomach with solid food, thus “fur- nishing temporary engagement for the pugilis- tic globules on other fields.” The food should be of the coarsest and plainest. else the remedy might produce an aggravation, Should exces- sive anzemla exist, and a state of nerve irrita- bility and trepidation be thus produced, take liquid food, such as hot milk, beef tea and broths, about an hour before sleep is intended. ‘This 1s of peculiar value to persons of sedentary habits, to those who take too little exercise, and to those who suffer from imperfect circula- tion. Sleep may usually be obtained, after a hard and irritating day's work, by a warm bath, acold douche, and a brisk rubbing following that, just previous to retiring for the night. Fresh air should be freely supplied in every sleeping room; yet the Sleeper should be pro- tected from even moderate draughts, for these, though apparently ellght at first, will produce chillineas of one portion of the body, while an- other may be overheated, and thus a disturbing eequs! ty of circulation ensues. Beds should be in texture, level, and well elevated from the floor, for thus complete around the bed is secured.

JOHN TRIPP. age From the Rew York tribuge. ‘A Tribune reporter, wishing to get some ac- curate information rega#ding the much-disputed question of the ‘fnjurtous effects of cigarette- smoking, sought” information on the subject from a well-known ysician, who has made diseases of the lungs and air passages his special study. “Is cigarette-smoking injurious?” the physician repeated thotghttully, as he blew a wreath of blue smoke frgm his lungs in a dreamy manner; “yes; all. smoking ts injurious, as far as that goes, and in my-opinion cigarette-smok- ing especially so, and for the following reason.” Pausing at this point to light a fresh cigarette, he continued: “You see, when a man gets to smoking cigarettes he smokes them where he could not light a cigar or a pipe; he smokes, in fact, at all times and all seasons, and so, as a rule, the cigarette-smoker consumes more to- bacco really than the man who devotes himself to coloring & meerechaum or cripples his income by indulging in good cigars.” “Then there is one thing true of the cigarette- smoker which the pipe-smoker avoids, and that is the inhalation of smoke. More than 90 per cent of the men who smoke cigarettes habitually inhale the smoke, and that is where the great harm and peril to the smoker lie.” Here the doctor blew a cloud of thin smoke from the deepest recesses of his lungs and went on: “At first this constant contact of an acrid, irritating smoke, loaded with minute particles or carbon— the burnt paper—causes simply irritation and chronic congestion of the alr passages, but sooner or later we get permanent organic change and disease. The particles of carbon will in time form deposits in the little air cells, which in turn become starting points for disease, and gradually you get a form of lung trouble which is closely analogous to that form of con- sumption known as ‘coal miners’ phthisis.’ Then again the throat and upper air passages suffer greatly in this kind of smoking, the trachea having very many absorbent glands which take up the nicotine and carry it into the circulation when smoke is inhaled. Why,” said the doctor, warming with his subject, “when I smoke my first cigarette betore breakfast it often makes me so drunk I can hardly dress, because at that time the glands are particularly active and the stomach is empty. “Yes, cigarette smoking is on the increase and is comparatively new in the United States. Fifteen years ago no American cigarettes were manufactured and few, except Cubans, Span- fards and foreigners generally, used tobacco in this form.” “Why do not Cubans and Spaniards get lung disease from smoking cigarettes?” “From one special reason disease is less frequent among the southern smokers than in this country, and that is the difference in climate. lere we are continually fighting against a climate which owing to its constant and severe changes, is peculiarly trying to the lungs, and if you add another source of irrita- tion, it’s only natural that so sensitive and dcli- ce structure should give out sooner or ater. “Moderation in cigarette smoking? There is no such thing. Ifa man smokes cigarettes at all, gooner or later he will smoke almost inces- santly and inhale every whiff he draws, and so one can make the general rule with perfect safety that cigarette smoking is by far the most injurious torm of smoking, and that no one can indulge it to any great extent without falling into danger- ous excess; and, more’s the pity, the practice is steadily on the increase.” SEWING MACHINES, &e. rpue rn sree ESTAB 1: QUEEN recognized aiid acknowledged by the highest mechan- uthorities an the best made, most silent, lightest running and highes: arm, lock-stiteh machi rade, ie of the finest steel.
