Dancing to the Music of Old Ocean— A Leap Year German—A Place Which the Mesquito has not Discovered. Correspondence of Tuk Evexrxe Star. Renosorm Bracn, Dex, July 25th, 1884. After breakfast we take our morning stroll along the beach, which extends north toward | the lighthouse about five miles, and south toward Shell beach about seven miles. Reho- both and the Douglass hou: are at the extreme southeastern point of Delaware, on the main- land side of Rehoboth bay and opposite Cape May, and is now at the height of the season. The bathing is excellent and will compare first with any on the coast. There are now two hundred or more guests here, principally from Washington and Phila- Gelphia. All sorts of pleasures are resorted to, those provided by nature, as lawn ten- nis, base ball, swimming contests, yachting,and, above all, which is due to our benevolent’ and ever good-natured proprietor, Mr. Walter Bur- ton, are the dancing parties, " The “first grand hop” ef the season was last Tuesday week man- aed by Mr. Wm. Goodwin, of Georgetown, Del. and Mr. W. 8.

Correspondence of Tak EVENING Star: New Wixpsor, Mp., July 29th, 1884. “Windsor Sulphur Springs,” which is the summer name of the spacious and beautiful dings of New Windsor college, is as usual at s time of the year filled with summer guests. A very select company is here this year, and a congenial and jolly company withal. The guest gave an entertainment last Satur- day night, consisting of tableaux, music, read- Ings, ete. The program was arranged by Miss ugenia Mordecai, a sprightly little visitor from : Miller, of Philadelphi: M ultimore. The event of the even- ing was the “Jarley Wax Works,” Mr. R. M.

When at Fort Albany we saw several Esquimaux dogs, a Species of canine unknown to elvilized com- munities. These dogs are very large—larger than our Newfoundiand and much stronger when in con- dition, Thetr strength, however, varies. In the win- ter, when they are well fed for driving, they are much stouter and stronger than in summer, when Uney are poorly fed, without exercise and languid from the heat, whichis very telling upon them, as their native climate far tothe north 4s very severe, heir colors are white and yellow—while impure breeds are white and black—the hair thick and bushy, and the tatl long, bushy and curling up at theend.

SOME VALUABLE PBSERYATIONS MADE BY A CaR- DRIVER OF THE PATRONS OF THE MIDNIGHT CAR—CONTINUED LOVE STORIES IN PRACTICAL LIFE—THE REGULAR CALLERS AND HOW THEY ACT—WHY YOUNG MEN MISS THE LAST CAR— LINGERING FAREWELLS AND PROLONGED GOOD- ‘NIGHTS. i “That R-street. young man is late to-night, remarked a lith-street, car-driver to a STAR reporter as he bare down hard upon the brake in response to a vigorous halloo that came up from the shadows of the side street. Presently ‘& young man rounded the corner at a rapid pace and, boarding the car, placed his fare in the box, and then sank in the seat in a breathless condi- tion. } The driver glatféed ‘around at his passenger, who was fanning his heated face with his hat, and then, with a humorous twinkle in his eye, remarked in a lower tone to the reporter: “Something unusual has happened. His nights are Tuesdays and Saturdays, and here it is only Friday. He has always been the most regular one on the line. But that is the way It always ends.” aaa ends?” echoed the puzzled listener. “What always ends?” “Perhaps you don't know,” responded the driver, with ‘a knowing look at the reporter, and then he laughed at the thought of such ignorance. “I suppose yon never went courting,” he went on with good-humored sarcasm, “and I suppose that when yon did you never walted for the last car. Oh, no! of course not,” and the driver chuckled to himself, at the keenness of his wit. “How do you know this young man has been courting,” rejoined the reporter quietly, ignor- ing the appeal to his personal experience. “How do I know it,” repeated the driver, as he stopped at the Intersection of Q street, and two young men from opposite directions got in the ‘car. A quizzical expression was on the man’s face as he glanced at the questioner and said “‘How do you know that two and two make four?” Without waiting to hear what reasons his listener had for such a belief, or whether he believed it at all, the driver continued. CERTAIN YOUNG MEN AND CERTAIN CORNERS. “When ever lam onthe last car down the road at night, [ notice that I always take up certain young men on certain nights at certain places. “It isasregular as clock work, and I have got so used to it that I always stop my car at these places. AsI said before, this R street young man was out of the regular order, and that is the reason I ran past, and he nearly lost the car. If it had been Tuesday night I would have stopped, even if I had seen no one on the corner, because I would have been certain that he was coming along some where. I used to have a Friday night young man on R street, but he don’t come up’ any more,” and the driver heayeda sigh. “What do you suppose fs the reason?” asked the reporter in a sympathetic tone of voice, “I am atr&id that it was a case of unrequited love,” he replied, shaking his head slowly. “He was such a bright young man, and when I first began to notice_ him I ran an earlier car down, and then when I was on the late run he would come bounding into the car with such a happy look in his eyes that it really did one good to look at him. But atter a while I noticed that his face wore a moré serious expression and his step was not so brisk. _ Finally I saw him no more, and then I’knew. fhat the iron ot a great disappointment had entéred his soul.” “You mean théiron bar of the front gate, I said the reporter, cheerfully; “bat you speak feelingiy,” and the listener glanced with some curiosity at the roughly clad man at his side.

I remember when he only came up once a week and went down on an early car. He was only a caller then. But now—bless my soul!” exclaimed the driver abruptly, “it Is like reading a love story to drive the last car at night on this line. No, it isn’t either. IJtis like reading alot of con- tinued love stories. Sometimes | get to the end of one, and then, again, I don't. But, then, new ones are all the time beginning.” Perhaps these are only gentlemen making calls on their lady friends,” suggested the re- porter. “No, they are not,” said the driv: itively. ‘The mere callers have gone down on the early cars.

There are some regular old stagers who haye been traveling with me for the years. They hang on well. I often wonder how the girls are getting along, and whether the bloom is not fading trom their cheeks and the crow’s feet becoming numerous. Love is a rum sort of a thing, ain't it?” sudden- ly asked the driver, pausing in the midst of his philosophical reflections. The listener assented in silence and the driver turning around surveyed the passengers, most of whom were indulging in hearty yawns and showing other signs of weariness. “Them two young dades hanging on to the rear platform,” he remarked as he turned around, his disgust rendering him for the time ungrammatical, “have got what they call a ‘mash’ on two girls living on Corcoran street. They are too young and yiddy to be taking the last car with such regularity. Of course, so far, they have only got one regular night, but no telling when they will have two and then three. Then there is that fellow over there in the corner that gets on at P street. He has got it the worst sort of away. He isallthe time complaining to the company about the manner the last carisrun. He says that it is run down earlier t the schedule time, and then goes on to add that the driver is so anxious to get through forthe night that he runs past the corners before people can get on. PROLONGED GOOD NiGHTS. The trouble is that tellow hangs around his girl bidding her good night. About two hours before he goes he says, with a sigh, that he really must go. Then after another half hour's conversation about ong thing and another he says he really, really myst go, and lovingly lin- gers another half hour. Then he says that he didn’t know that it was so late, picks up his hat and moves towards the door, where he puts his arm around her to prevent her falling in a swoon and kisses her for five minutes in one inning and still lingers. Ther he gives her Just one more kiss and reluctaftly leaves, and when he Teaches the corner and fihds the last car gone he is mad at the driver and writes a letter of com- aint. That is the way‘he does his courting. tis mice for the girl,"I suppose, and nice for him, but I get left every time.” The driver didn’t say anything more for sev- eral minutes, and then ashe was turning the corner into New York avenue he obseryed— “Every once ina while I see in the papers that there Is a great demand for small houses in this city. Iam not surprised. It is simply the logic of events on the 14th street line of cars.” And with this reflection the driver put down brakes and the car came to a stand still at the end of the line. ———<—_-o-_____ Threw Up a Sponge. “Dear me,” gasped Mrs. Knowal, “here is a terrible item inthe paper.

Correspondence of Tax Evesrxo Stan. Sapatoca Srrines, August 1, 1884. There is noconceding the fact that Saratoga is nct so full this year as it used to be prior to last summer, as late in July as this. I should think there were about as many here now as at this date last year, but it is well known that the Season was considered unprecedentedly late in beginning in 1883 at this, as at other resorts. Added to the coolness of this summer as a cause for many accustomed to go early to watering places staying at home, or going to quieter spots than heretofore is the great May panic In New York, which has evidently torced a number who were living extravagantly to economize. Although Richfield was so full, I heard it said while there that less money than usuai was be- ing spent in luxuries. Those who had horses and carriages to hire had a comparatively poor business as they are now having here. There are fewer shops at Saratoga this season than usual in which tempting dresses, bonnets, ribbons, laces and other articles of luxury for woman's adornment are displayed. Some of the stores which heretofore have always been filled with such things before the end of July are now wholly untenanted. The same jeweler, however, who last year sold here the famous $20,000 diamond necklace, is here again with a window full of such wares, in- cluding one necklace of solitaire diamonds at 230,000, and others at 25,000 and $15,000. Ido not believe he will sell one this season, but he is hopeful of doing so. It 1s noticeable also that there are fewer stock brokers’ offices at Saratoga this year than has been the case for several summers, and that | sent away from here. there 1s less stir and animation about those few. Nor does one see so many men nervousiy flnger- ing the tape with stock quotations thereon in the United States and Grand Union hotels, The hey day of the stock gambling atSaratoza was In the summer of 1881, when President Gar- field was lying tor so many weeks in a critical condition. ‘Look,” said a bright New York man to me that summer, as he pointed to group of the brokers ona day when the Presi- dent’s condition was most critical, ‘‘there they are discounting death.” A A RAINY SEASON. Last year Saratoga had too much rain for the good of its summer season, and this year seems to be much the same thus far. Rain, which wilts one’s forehead frizzes, as it does one’s lawn dresses, and gives colds to so many, and effectually prevents all out-door pleasures, is the last visitor wanted at a summer resort. Wherever I have been as yet, people who were traveling tor health or pleasure have almost been ready to pray for hot, dry weather. Yet most of these same people left’ their comtorta- ble city homes tor fear of finding them too warm, and selected the watering places they thought most likely to be cool enough for blan- kets to be needed every night, and they have found plenty of that kind. The rain, of course, interferes much with the races now going on here. One day they are postponed until the next because of heavy rain on the first day, and when they come off on the second they are spoiled by a heavy track. GAITIES AND POLITICS. There haye been very few hops given yet at the hotels. The United States has one per week, and the Union two, and Congress Hall two, all taking place in the ball-rooms of those hotels. The Clarendon hotel had an enjoyable hop last evening. There are many citizens of Washing- ton always at that hotel. While quieter than usual as regards the usual Toutine of a fashionable resort, Saratoga is, as ithas been for many season, a political head- quarters now. Governor Hendricks has shown his fidelity to it by again coming. as he did eight years ago while a candidate for Vice President, to Saratoga to spend some time. I saw many notables In the parlor at the Grand Union hotel Tue i it the same time. There were ex-Senator David Davis and wife, ex-Senator Hendricks an John Kelly (Tammany boss) and wif enator Stockton. Both the prominent: political parties are rep- resented by big colored banners on Saratoga’s Broadway, and it is difficult to say wh pair of candidates, the republican or democratic, are made to wear the more villainous look in their alleged portraits on these banners. If the voters were to judge the character of the candidates by these and similar representations of them, they would surely vote for some one whose pic- tures they had never seen. The two banners are not far apart and are so hung that the nominees on each can make faces at their opponents on the other ticket all summer. The American eagle between the two candidates on each ban- ner seems to be in a towering rage, and its beak on each looks as if ready to tear out th ofthe nearest nominee. Mrs. Hendricks the banner with her husband's picture thereon wasthe first thing to greet their eyes on their arrival, and her husband asked pitiously if he really looked as much like a cut-throat as that picture made him appear. He asked me, when Tsaid how untrustworthy all four of the men on those banners looked, if his was worse than the others, but I consoled him by telling him that was utterly impossible, as all four were so atrocious. Inever saw Goy. Hendricks look in better health and seem in better spirits than nuw. He and his wife had a most fatiguing journey in coming here, in consequence of delays to their train. By a singular coincidence, the very day that ex-Goy. Hendricks and his wife arrived at the Grand Union hotel, there appeared among the arrivals at one of the very quict hotels the name of “G. Cleveland, Albany,” and one was tempted to wonder if both the democratic nom- inees were In Saratoga, and if the head of the ticket had chosen to come unheralded, and se- clude himself in a place where he would be least likely to be looked for. But of course it Was not the governor of New York. I hear him much discussed, and all who know him seem to uree that he is not ‘a lady's man,” as the phrase goes, and will never marry. From what I hear, too, I can assure those who have so | for purposes of their own, decried the tive Mansion well as otherwi: unsuitable for the residence of the President of so big a country as ours, that if Gov. Cleveland is elected to pass four years therein, they will not zet him to azree s, for one of his friends has told wz, while in Buflalo, always ocen- pied bachelor quarters, he complained when elected governor of the mangion at Albany, as- signed for his use. as fartoo larze, and won- dered what he should do with 80 vast a residence. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Hendricks is looking well, but I believe 1 scared her a little when I called her the “chaperon” of the democratic ticket, and sug- gested how onerous her duties would be as the chaperon of a President should Gov. Cleveland and her husband be elected. She knows Wash- ington well enough to be fully aware of how much Is expected of the wife of a prominent official there. Ex-President pro tem. of the Senate David Davis now wears his clothes to fthim so trimly that he looks as if he weighed 100 pounds less. His wife looks younger and handsomer than be- fore her marriage, and both seem to be still en- Joying their honeymoon. In addition to the notable personages already named as being at Saratoga, there are many others here; including Gen. and Mrs. Phil. Sher- idan, and Gen. and Mrs. Hancock. Bishop Riley, of Mexico, was here the first of this week, to secure 500, which was left him for the use of his diocese in Mexico, by a lady who died here. He ts an Episcopal’ bishop, a native of Chili, but a graduate of Columbia Col- lege, New York, where he was a classmate ot Rev. Dr. Dix. Bishop Riley, who has now started toreturn to Mexico, having come here solely to secure the above named bequest, has forty-nine Protestant Episcopal churches in old Mexico. The government of that country has been very generous, indeed, in giving him lands for churches there. Judge and Mrs. MacArthur, who are at the Grand Union hotel as usual, expect to remain through August if Mrs. MacArthur escapes her attack of hay fever as long as that. As usual, no one at Saratoga has richer toilets than Mrs. MacArthur. J. H. B. Latrobe, of Baltimore, is here. Miss Lansing and C. H. Loring, Washington; J, J. Rae and wife, Washington, and E. 0. Young, Washington, are also at Saratoga, as are W. C. Floyd Jones and wife, of Long Island. ‘Viscount and Viscountess Exmouth, of England, arrived Saturday at the United States hotel. Gen.

Venus is morning star throughout the month, | and easily wins the honor of being at the head! | of the planetary list, for she 1s the most beauti- ful object that adorns the eastern sky before the all-conquering sun commences his daily course, | There is a reason why the fairest of the stars des | ferves special mention during the passage of the last month of summer. On the 17th she reaches her period of greatest brilliancy as | morning star, when she is so transcendently | lovely that the trouble of rising early 1s more than rewarded by the beauty of the exhibition of “Antarte’s bediamonnd crescen! Distinct with ite duplicate horn,’ Venns makes her appearance at that time soon after two o'clock in the morning, nearly three hours before sunrise, when such is the brilliancy of her shining that objects ilumine by her rays cast shadows, and even the great sun himself has no power to hide her entirely from mortal view. She may easily be seen after sunrise, and even at noonday, if her position in y is known. Venus has two of these periods of greatest brilliancs, as they are called. } One of them occurs thirty-six days before in- | ferior conjunction, when she Is evening star, as | Was illustrated on the 3d of June. The other will take place on the 17th, thirty-six days after | inferior conjunction, when she Is morning star. | These brilliant epochs in her course occur when | She is 40 degs. east and west of the sun, and when about one-fourth of her disk is illamined, Between the two periods she Is nearer to the earth and larger in dimensions, but the filum- ined portion of her disk Is less, ‘and the loss of light more than counterbalances the Increasing magnitude. It is diMcult to find words to ex- press the matchless loveliness of this bewitching star, a8 she hangs low in the heavens in the soft summer mornings. She ts rapidly receding from our neighborhood, aud many months must wax and wane before she will agaiu put on her glorious apparel. Jupiter may almost be numbered with the morning stars, for he is only evening star until the 7th. On that day, at 1 o'clock in the after- noon, he reaches one of his great epochs, being | then in conjunction with the sun, rising and | setting with him, and entirely hidden from view in his eclipsing rays. The planct that beamed so brightly in the evening sky hax departed, | but he is not lost. He has fultilled his mission on the sun's eastern side, only to reappear on the sun's western side, where he will soon | emerge from his transtent eclipse to become the second brightest gem of the planetary trio made up of Saturn, Venus, and the latest corner among the morning stara. It Is pleasant to think that Jupiter is com- ing toward us, that he will rise a few min- utes earlier every morning, and that he is has- tening towards that part of his course w conditions for observation are most. fa | At conjunction, a straight line drawn from t | earth through the sun would reach Jupit prolonged, showing that he is then beyond t un and at his greatest distance from the earth. if we were blessed with adequate visual powers, and transported to the near vicinity of this huge sphere and his revolving moons, we should be- hold material atoms congregated on a vast scale. Our staid planet, the earth, rotates on her axis once in 24 hours. As her circumference is about 25,000 miles, her axial velocity at the | equator fs about 1,000 miles an hour, or 16 miles aminute. Jupiter rotates on his axis ina few minutes less 10 hours. As his circumfer- ence is about 267.000 miles, his axial velocity at the equator is 26,000 miles an hour, or about 440 nules a minute—27 times greater than that at the terrestrial equator. A sphere when In @ plastic state, rotating with such velocity, would show the effect of the rapid axial motion b; bulging out at the equator and being flattene at the poles. Such Is the case with Jupiter, whose polar diameter is one-seventeenth, of 5,000 miles less than his ey) ial diameter, the difference being more than half of the earth's ntire diameter.

She isin conjunction with Neptune on the 13th, the day of her last quarter, and with Saturn on the 16th. She makes a close con- 1 | Junction with Venus on the 17th at 37 minutes after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, being then 23 min. north. The waning cresceut and the radi- ant morning star will make a lovely celestial picture on the morning of the 17th, though they are invisible at the time of nearest approach. On the 20th, the day of her change, the moon will be at her nearest approach to Jupiter. The two-days-old moon will be near Mercury on the evening of the 22d, passing $2 min. north, an event that sharp-sighted observers may beliold. She will pass Uranus on the same evening, and close the circuit by a very close conjunction with Mars, being 10 min. north on the 24th at 29 min- utes after 10 o'clock in the morning, but as the conjunction takes place in daylight, it can only be seen in the mind’s eye. ——_—_-e- VicTiM OF 4 STRANGE Hauuvcrsation.—Pitts UoWh, 4 smatl place in Rensselaer county, Y., is greatly exci over a liar case that has just developed there, Miss Augusta Kldridge, a middle~ aged lady, well known In this Vicinity, has been hoticed to! act strangely for the past fow weeks From inquiry by relatives it has nu learned Wat a notion has come over the lady.
