12 TWO LONELY OUTCASTS Singular Experience of a United | States Naval Officer ON THE BONIN ISLANDS. A Father and Son Both With Minds Utterly Blank so Far as the World and Events Were Concerned—The Fading Out of the Boy's Life—Only Sight of the Sea, ‘Written for The E ne Star. MISTY AND MURKY DAY AT SEA.

They are the Bonin Islands.” THE BONIN ISLANDS. At noon the sun is nearly overhead. The clonds of mist and vapor have long since dis- appeared. The ocean swell has calmed to one yast bluish surface, scarce rippled by a breath. The sea-worn prow of the old corvette sweeps sharp around the lofty point of a rocky isle in mid Pacific. Her engines cease to throb; a sharp voice a clear command. ‘Then comesamighty splash, the rattle of a ebain, and, forty from Hawaii, we anchored in the calm and semi-tropic bay of Peel Isiand, Bonin group. ; There are but few places now, even in the most unfrequented byways of . oceans, that have not at odd times at- tructed either the eupidity or the curi- osity of the nomadic rover. Even over the vast sweep of the southern seas, where al most countless isi their coral fringe Shove « placid ocean. there rewain but few if any which the trader or the whaler bas not called upon for one purpose or another. The buccaneers of the Spanish main, the bloody pirates of the Coral Islands, the horri- ble fleets of cannibal canoes—all the reckless romance of sea and its distant and unknown lands, have long since been swept from the pages of fiction by the commonplace voyages of the unromantic steamer or the cold facts of the modern commercial traveler. Still, once in « while, ina long and changeful life, away from the middle and the deeper cur- rent of his experience, a character so odd and strange, so outside the present and still no forgotten by the past as to reckon even worse than the usual outcast from the society of other men. Think of such a one, of thst society never to have known; of the sound of the roar of the great world of life never to have heard, to have been born in the nineteenth and died in the first century of existence. Yet upon these lonely islands it was reported that such a man lived, « man who knew absolutely nothing and had no curiosity even about the simplest facts of mod- ern history and achievement. I met this man a few days after our arrival, in an accidental way. The Bonin Islands are divided into three oups, known to navigators as the Parry, the ly, the Peel and the Kater groups. On the Peel group are settled = few English and other Europeans, generally the de- scendants of deserters from visiting whalemen or other vessels. Port Loyd, the calling station on the largest island of this group, has a good barbor of basin-like propor- tions and safe anchorage. It is the home of the great sea turtle of the western Pacitic, and Upon its flesh the few inhabitants mostly eub- sist, while its shell affords them means of trade with passing vessels the curtain and I could of his feet again across the went around again and sat on the barrel step. Half an hour passed and I had just thrown away the short stump of the cigar Thad been smoking, and was thinking of start- ing in earnest, when the door opened again and my gueer friend stood upon the sill. “Ye see stranger.” he said. “I don't want to be mean and oncivil to ye, but we never have no strangers here and never sees no one and don't want to. But I reckon ye are a new o on the island and don’t mean no harm. I got a sick boy in here and he’s been a- i to let ye in and be civil to ye—so I does if ye wants to.” And be held the door wide to let me pass. THE SICK BoY. The room was low and musty with the smell of decayed vegetation. The floor was of boards loosely laid on the bare ground, with no attempt atany calking. Two rudechaira, an attempt at a table and a low bedstead made from plarks placed against the wall. supported by props from beneath, constituted the entire furniture. When my eyes became accustomed to the gloom I saw stretched on this rade cot the figure of a man. My strange host offered me a chair and when I had seated myself commenced: E “Yee, sir, he's pretty sick, is he. I don't searcely know as what ails him. He's been down two months now and just lays there and sort of says nothing, only stares about most of the time. Imoved my chair to the bedside and’ sat down again. The patient wasa tall and well- built man of perhaps twenty-five; before bis illness he mast have been a person of splendid physical proportions, but be was weak and wan enough now. His face was very placid, but very, very pale; his eyes were closed and he breathed’ irregularly. I felt his hands; they were dry and hot and his tangled hai wet masses on his broad, white brow. THE SUMMER GIRL. Types of Her at the Seashore, the Mountains and in the City. WHAT MEN THINK OF HER. for Pleasure and Those Who Stay in Town of Caution, YAS THERE EVER AN EXPRESSION or # phrase that suddenly sprang into populer use that there was not a differenco of opinion as to its true meaning? The world has been obliged to wait for Webster's New Inter- national Dictionary to learn what a dude really is. It never was certain what a fad was until recently, end now half the world is using the term “‘a summer girl” in onejsense and the other balf is using itin another sense. It is this fact that prompted a writer for Taz Stan to make an investigation with a view to ascer- taining what sort of person a summer girl may be. “Tam going away,” said young man who certainly ought to know something about girls, “to spend the month of Augustat Narragansett among the glorious bevy of summer girls that older man stood by me as I looked down, run- ning his coarse hand across his lips nervously as he watched. “He has fever,” I said. “Yes, I guess that’s it—like it—ft worries me dreadful sort, he looks so yearning at me some- times and I don't know as what to do always.” “fs he any kin of yours?” : He wiped his dry mouth again and hitched up his coarse trousersabout his waist.” “Well, yes, sir—sort of kin—my son, sir.” Isata while longer and when I rose to go I promised to bring the father something from the ship (be would not listen about » doctor) the next day or the day following. The old men followed me to the door and holding it open for me said: “He's sleeping now.” THE OUTCAST AND RIS STORY. . He closed the door behind him and guested he would walk a step with me through the conversation, at first. desultor; dually led up to the subject of his own and the history of his queer surroundings He told it briefly. He had run away from home—a New Engiand home—some forty veers ago,and shipped on a whaler bound to the southern seas. He had served on her three years and over as the vessel, rounding the Horn, une toward the cruising grounds of the northern } Things had gone from d to worse between the captain and himself for many months—particularly after they had rescued the ew of a south sea trader, among them» a young woman, the daughter of the trader's Growned captain. With thiegirl he feil in love and her treatment by the captain made hissoul boil with rage. So, what with the beatings he got and the insulting of her, “we took—we two—the yawl, and one night, when the Mary Clyde came in for water at Port Loyd, pulled ashore and took to the woods.” They built the little house I had seen and for over thirty years had lived there. She bad been dead these fifteen years, leaving behind her ‘he boy now grown to manhood. They lived all this time on what their little garden had brought them, on what fish he could catch in the bay, or on the meat of some turtles be had now and then captured. The hard experi- ences of the past sea life of his wife had affected a little her “thinking powers” (as he put it) and she never again came down to the ocean or in sight of it, nor had she ever allowed her son to approach ite shores. After her death her son had become so long used to the habit of obedience that, though living on an island, ocean bound, he had never scen it or heard ‘the roar of its mighty waves. They had no books of any kind, and she was “not very much, sir, on education and the like, noway,” he said, so his son had “sorter growed up with the hills and trees and knew nothing else be- sides them.” SLOWLY FADING AWAY. My visit of the next day was not the last one. It was followed by daily ones thereafter. I had consulted the doctor of our «hip with reference to the case and bad greater difficulty in pre- venting him from visiting the patient himself. In fact he did once, 1 believe, but was so roughly met by the surly old man as never again to attempt it. But he gave me medicines and much good advice. So over the woody hills each day I tramped to the little wretched egttage in the valley. And I was glad to see the happy look of ‘recognition in the glassy eyes, or the wave of the weak, bony hand above the coarse sheet about him. "That he was fad- ing. day by day.I saw; that death was but wait- ing. hour by hour, to knock upon the lonely door, I knew full well. Bat in my heart there grew for him—this man +o utterly outside my world—a real, tender affection. Yet in our daily, quiet talks—and we had these always at our meetings—I never met, or wish to meet again, a mind ¥o absolutely blank, so devoid of the slightest knowledge or concep” tion of other men; the history of his own or any other age, or the triumphs of art, science, war, astronomy or religion. It was as if a babe had sprung to evécen maturity and been TAR OUTCAST's RUT. One balmy afternoon I had started inland from the circuit of the broad way of Port Loyd, and climbed a woody mountainside to the valley beneath. Here, above a mass of dark greenish leaves, 1 saw protruding the thatched roof of some settler's cot- tage. @uriosity led me to turn my teps in this new direc m till stood in front small, one-story building of the erndest con- struction.

I stepped upon the half barrel that served as @ stepping stone and knocked ab- ruptly. For some time there was no response, though the sound of my rapping echoed through the crazy house. Presently, however, I heard the noise of chair logs pushed about a floor and the shuttle of heavy feet. The door opened eautiously about half way and in the gloom of the interior stood a strange and uncouth figure. “What do ve want!” he asked sharply of me in good English. As the light came slowly in through the leafy bower overhead I made out more distinctly the figure and appearance of the man. He was tail and bony person, with whitened hair and sunburned, wrinkled face. His predominant features were his deep-set ferret eyes, overhung with bushy brows and a mose that was hooked and large. He wore a coarse shirt, cut off at the elbows, and aragged pair of coarser trousers that barely reached his great naked feet. bat do ye want” he repeated harshly. “{ am tired, sir,” I said, “from my long walk, and seeing your house through the trees was attracted by curiosity and knocked upon your door.” He hesitated a moment and passed his hand Once or twice across his large mouth. “I haven't any room for re, nor step it irresolute a moment, and then fol- sdrice and « little foot-worn path the rear of the house.

I used to recall often the story of the child born in a French prison, who was reared in solitude and darkness for twenty Years: this was even worse, perhaps, than the congregate there.” Very well, then, this is a summer girl: She is a creature that wears the finest and most fashionable clothing. She is presnmably rich and a awell in the city during the winter. 51 only frequents genuine summer resorts. 8h never goes into quiet country retreats. Life must be with her a succession of gay amuse- ments. DOES SHE FLIRT? Does she flirt? Well, well, perhaps she does, whenever she gets a chance—if not with de- sirable men whom she knows all about, then with any others that may happen along. At certain places these girls do congrogate in summer. In winter they scatter to their dif- ferent homes, tome in New York, some in Phil- adelphia, some in Richmond, some in Balti- more and some, you may be sure, in Washing- ton. his is the type of summer girl that site upon the sands at the seashore, surrounded by a troop of men, or that takes a Kittle stroll” in sequestered paths with one most favored, or this is the girl who drives a jaunty bnekboard in the mountains and takes out two young men ata time, if her horse can drag them. ‘This is the summer girl that gets engaged in summer two, three, four—even half a dozen times, and the engagements, like summer flowers,run to seed, wither, droop and die by the time ‘the fall has come.’ But, per- haps, she may be of a soberer disposition or of turer years and then one engagement suf- tices and it is followed by a wedding and then she can be a summer girl no more. THE SUMMER GIT SOUTH. There is a certain summer resort in the south where a good many Washingtonians go which has been the fashion now for half a cen- tury. It is the place where summer girls of the type now under consideration flock especially and where they enliven the whole country round with their gay pla This is an ‘al resort for many peop During the height of the season there isa german every morning: there are champagne parties on the lawns in the alternoon; ‘there is ball every evening. While’ they are at it the” fun flourishes fast. and fu- rious. But this dovsn't last long. Qnly a few weeks of it, and then the place is quiet and steady, Lut the girls who go only for the period when it is liveliest have to go somewhere else afterward to get a rest; for, while the air is par- ticularly healthy, the late hours and excite- ment are apt to play havoe with a young gitl’s health. Itis very inuch to be feared that the summer girl that is the'life and gayety of these fashionable resorts is not doing precisely what is best for her. She has danced and fiirted all winter in the city, and a change of life would do her no harm in the summer, Fascinating? Well, of course, she is. How could she be otherwise? If furs and close- fitting tailor-made gowns are difficult to resist, what can be said of broad-brimmed straw hate and the costly light summer dresses? ANOTHER TYPE OF SUMMER GIRL. But, after all, is this fair being the real sum- mer girl? Is she the one that the term really applies to? Let us see what the other type is like. The scene where this summer girl acts her = is not laid in the mountains or by the seashore. She is not the pet of a rich papa and an ambitious mamma. She is not the o ject of daily adoration to manly youths in knickerbockers and gorgeous ternis’ raiment. She may be beautiful and delicate as the lilies of the field, but she may both toil and spin and yet few of the summer girls of the summer resorts are arrayed so en- ticingly as this one, the city summer girl. She doesn't go away; she can't afford it. She doesn’t drive buckboards or wear costly light summer dresses. An excursion or a picnic, an occasional “buggy ride” or an occasional “boat ride” —save the mark! who was it that first in- vented those horrible expressions/—these are almost the only excitements that this summer girl has. The summer resort summer girls don’t know the city summer girl, but some of the men do! A BOON TO THE MEN IN TOWN. Oh, what a boon she is! Everybody is out of town. ‘The expression becomes familiar enough to usalllateron in the summer, but yet not everybody is gone, for, heaven be praised, the city summer girl never goes away. — It maiters not whether you happen toknow her or not. She isa pleasure to you in either case, for in the evening, when she appears in her bright, becoming costume, she is pleasant to look at, even if the privilege of ing to her belongs to more fortunate men. ‘The rich man’s @aughter, worr. out with her hard pursuit of pleasure, must go away in search of health. Sometimes she finds it, but more often the search for health is merely another mode of expressing a search for more pleasure with diferent surroundmgs. But, case of my strange dying friend. For at least the latter knew language when he heard it; knew color when he saw it; knew the trees, the rocks, the animal life about him, but of’ the causes for—the reasons why—nothing. Sometimes when I was deep in the relation of some great historical event. some wonderful discovery, some astounding invention, he would turn bis pale face to me and half whisper in a placid way some simple childlike question that all my philosophy could not answer. It was as if one who had never seen fire had asked of another who had seen it and in all the ma- jesty of some roaring conflagration, “What is fire? What does it look like?" Day by day he grew weaker and both his father and myself knew the end was nigh. Lit- tle by little I changed the topic of our talks from earthly things to those beyond. But I saw that that, too, was even more ut- terly blank and incomprehensible than the for- mer. He listened gently with often » faint rnile upon lis lipe, but, alas, @ dark void I knew in his soul. And I could almost see the struggle in his mind within himself, always to lose iteelf in the dull look of total ignorance. At last,one stormy morning, we saw theend had come indeed,and, when I softly entered. he opened wide his eyes and faintly beckoned me mt my head to ut his hot my earand whispered: = would like 10 see—the ocean—you have told me ot” a We made, er and I, hastily, the rude litter and carried him, the up the mountain side and down | great waves were breaking wea and heavy cl were last tying across leaden sky—the rising gale blew in salty spray about us.

All honor, then, to the city summer girl, the real summer girl, the one to whom the term should really be ap- plied. ONE KIND OF SUMMER MAX. Is there such a thing asa summer man? Of course there is. The foreign count at the sea- shore, with his accent and bis big mustacheand his fine dark eyes, the noble foreign gentleman whom the daughters of the rich apes and the ambitious mammas delight to flirt with— nay, whom they sometimes Lecome engaged to and’ even occasionally marry—the clever, ad- ventarous im ‘and cheat who imposes firat upon credulous hotel keepers and later upon snobbish women—why, he is essentiall a summer man, The season is so shor! the intamicy of hotel life is so general, that he has a better chance to practice his wicked ways than he can ever get in the city in winter. In the city there are men to watch him,to find out about him and to expase him, but at the summer resorts there are never enough men to go round, and those that are there stay for a short time only and do not concern themselves with other men's an- tecedents. Thus it so often happens that the real character of the summer man is found ont after the mischief has been ac- complished—after the flirting has been done or after the engagementand marriage have become horrible f: Sometimes the police discover the false cotfat and carry him away and the hotel keeper has his slender wardrobe as a re- minder of his noble guest's indebtedness, but At is really surprising how often the scoundrel — detection when it is remembered how much experience summer resorts bave bad with this species of summer man. ‘THE POOR YOUNG CLERK. But he is not the only kind of summer man. There is, for instance, that poor young clerk, who saves up all his money for months before- hand and spends it allon a two weeks’ vaca- tion. He dresses in his best clothes, he lives at an expensive hotel, for two short weeks he is in the company that he has always believed himself fit to ornament. Men and women alike treat him asan equal. Everything is delight- ful to him, unless in a moment of weakness fore be leaves he should betray to some one his real situation and standing in the city. Then ves ¢nd should inquire about him quite sure to discover the innocent deception summer man. It is for this his vacation at townsmen are not of tae ee reason that he usually ‘those where bis apt to be found. ‘It was necessary to sandwich in the above re- marks about summer men to avoid putting near the charming city summer girla few words to whom, un- ‘and pretty about that other summer fortunately, those ‘The Butterfiies of Fashion Who Only Look and Work—TheSammer Man—A FewWords words are also How should she be described? What can be said of her? She is not a bad girl, but—but—well, she should remember what Thackeray says of « class of Frenchmen, who may not do any harm, but ‘who, nevertheless, mean and really ought not’ to consent’ to know men in summer who never come near her in winter. She is a city summer girl and she likes it, be- canse in enmumer there are more men in the city than, there are women, and #0 she gots a ood deal of male company. ives princi ott to please this company, and she enjoys it tly. “Let it be repeated that she is not a cr girl, but she isa foolish girl, for of the company of men that come to see her many are men that she never sees except in suni- mer—young men generally who don’t con- sider ber of their own set. Their set is no better than her own; often it is not as good. Then where is the summer girl's pride, that she should submit to the attention of men atone season of the year, when she knows that they will pass her by at another season? This irl ought to be lectured and her father and fig brothers ought to come, in and sit in the room and monopolize the conversation when one of these young Fausts calls, and should he persist in coming dogs ought to be set on him and disagreeable practical jokes instituted against him. A RECAPITULATION. To recapitulate, then, here are three defini- tions of a summer girl: First. A girl who frequents fashionable sum- mer resorts, wears fine clothes and flirts with the men. Second. A girl who cannot leave the city in summer, and who consequently attracts more attention during that season than at any other time. Third. A girl who stays in the city during summer because there are plenty of men there. And the definitions of summer men may be boiled down to two: First. A dirty scoundrel who pretends to be a foreign count and imposes upon fools at sum- mer resorts, Second. An impoverished clerk who lives luxuriously for two weeks out of the year. ————e-—__ THREE OLD BOYS’ YARNS. Kids Used to Be Worse in the Old Days ‘Than They Are at Present. 66 JQOYS ARE ONLY SLIGHTLY MODIFIED gavages,” eaid that amiable old fellow Puggsby at the Platypus Cinb yesterday after- noon. “All healthy ones are, anyway, and so I don’t mind confessing that I was pretty nbarly the worst specimen I ever knew. My particular fad was smashing windows. There was a big green house in the same block where f lived, but a little distance away, so that I was just able to reach it by a stone thrown from my yard. The luxury of it was that it was impossible to miss so largo an expanse of glass, and every shot was followed by a ‘clink’ of fracture that was music to my ears. Besides, no one could very well find out who did the mischief. I got into trouble within two days after I was sent to the public school. Being employed by the teacher to fill all the ink wells, 1 thought it would be an engaging lark to improve the fluid by adding to the con- tents of the jug about one-fourth part of oil from a kerosene can that was handy. So it happened that when all the scholars began to write, the first letter, which I remember was an elaborate B with whiskers on it, spread all over the page of the copy book. Of course, evidence was against me and [ was punished. Somehow in my youthful wrong doings the cousideration of escape from penalty was never properly provided for. One Fourth of July auentire bulk window at my father’s store was iilled with a stock of fire worksand crackers. They looked s9 inviting that Icould not dismiss from my mind the notion of the gorgeous effect they would make all going ff togethers I restrained my impulse man- ily until the might of the Sd, when the temptation overcame me and I touched off the coliection with a fuse. ‘che result equaled my warmest anticipations; in fact, they were sur- Passed, inasmuch as the entire window was blown out and other damage done to the ex- tent of about $150. It ix not too much to say that I wuffered for the exploit $200 worth addi- tional.” PRETTY BAD HIMSELY. “I was pretty bad myseif,” eaid Puggsby's friend Mopps, wiping the dew of a juiep from, his gray mustache. “We boys on my block had a ‘gang,’ as we called it. When any one of us got halfa dollar we would have what we termed a ‘peanut and lemonade bum.’ That amount of money would supply all the peanuts we could eat and enough lemonade to make us uncomfortable. But the climax of the fun came at the end, when we ‘socked’ the lemon peels af the passers-by. I always looked upon this as a most agreeable sport until I chanced to view it from a different standpoint. It happened that I was walking along the street about a year ago, when, chancing to look up, I was struck at the same moment full in theeye with what I subsequently ascertained to be an entire orange, which had been previously sucked and turned inside ou:. My glasses were knocked off and for about the space of a min- ute I was practically blinded. Having removed what I could of the pulp from my countenance L asked a colored man near by who had thrown the missile. He said that he had just seen a boy scamper around the next corner, and so I started off in irate pursuit. I caught nobody, however, and when I subsequently learned t there was a school in the third story of the building in front of which I had re- ceived my injury, I hed had time to cool down aud to sympathize with what usthave been the delighted feelings of the uungster who made a shot so fatally accurate. But my favorite weapon in my youthful days Wasan enormous squirt, which would hold abouta pint. With this [used to exercise my marksmanship with some reckleseness,until one day I delivered the entire contents down the back of an old gentleman's neck, who had stooped to pick something up on our front side- walk. He Was so ill-natured as to complain, and I experienced unpleasant results, ‘HE Worst oF THE Lor. “Ha, ha!” laughed old Boodles as he took a light from Puggsby’s cigar. “I'll bet I wasa worse boy than either of you fellows. For ex- ample, just permit me to mention a single lit- tle exploit of mine. The close of my first year at school was marked by a grand festivity in honor of the graduating class, I was emploved toassist in waxing the floor of the big hall for dancing, and in this connection it occurred to me that great deal of comparative amuse- ment might be obtained. So I spent a whole afternoon in cutting off the heads of matches, with which I stuffed both my trousers pockets. ‘These it was my intention to scatter about the floor of the hull, so that the terp chorean entertainment-might be accompanied by fireworks; but, in order to make sure that something satisfactory would happen, I spread the waxed surface carefully with a dusting of red pepper.

RUMAGING THROUGH AN OLD SAFE whose contents have not been disturbed for fifty years, there was brought to light s num- ber of old newspapers bearing dates from 1790 to 1827, all but two of which were published in Georgetown. Though a little yellow and time worn they are ina remarkable state of preserva- tion and can be read qnite easily. The Cen- tinel of Liberty, the best preserved of those Published before the beginning of the present century, is s single sheet abouta foot and a half long and ten inches wide and contains four columns on each side. The advertisements throughout are curiously worded and generally of unnecessary length. Most of them are for Tunaway slaves, and elaborate descriptions of their appearance, together with their principal habits, are always given. A BUNAWAY SLAVE. In one where €40 reward is offered for in- formation that will lead to the capture of one “Tom,” after describing his personal appear- ance, place of birth, former masters and time of purchase by present owner, it says: “He is not very black, but of a yellow complexion; his fingers on the right hand crooked toward the palm: it was occasioned bye burn when Young; and squints with one of his eyes.

He was inclining to the Methodist for some time and has gone without exhorting.” Another, under the head of “Sales,” reads: “A boy and a girl about twelve or thirteen years ‘of age, also two working horses, two feather beds and some household furniture.” The first page of the Centinel is given up to general news and advertisements, while the en- tire second is report of congressional pro- ceedings. ‘THE TROUBLE WITH SPAIN. In an issue of December 3, 1805, appears President Jefforson’s message, in which he re- views the condition of the country asit then existed and recommends that a strict quaran tine be kept on all incoming vessels, as an epi demic in which hundreds ‘had lost their live seemed to have been raging at that time. Fur- ther on he says: “With Spain our negotiations for a eettlcment of differences have not had s satisfactory issue. Spoliations during the former war for which she has formerly ac- knowledged herself responsible have been re- fused to be gompensated for, but on conditions affecting other claims in no wise connected with them. Yet the same practices are re- newed in the present war andare already of great amount. On the Mobile our commerce passing through the river _ continues to be obstructed by arbitrary duties and vexatious searches. Propositions for adjusting amicably the boundaries of Louisiana have not been acceded to. Inroads have recently been made iato the territories of Orleans and the Mississippi, our citizens have been seized and lar oficers and soldiers of that government. I have, therefore, found it necessury to order our troops on that frontier to protect’ our citizens and to repel by arms any similar aggressions in future.” MEN OF THE DAY. The Washington Gazeite of November 22, 1824, calls Gen. Jackson, who is spoken of in other papers of that date as a probable presi dential candidate, “a political bite,” and add: “Tis true he never asks for an ofiice and, Mr. Adams will please take notice, never declines one.” The Gazette recommends to the people of the United States for national nomination Wm. H. Crawford. In a prominent pl the first page appears the notice tha Lafayette, we understand, will arrive in the city tomorrow morning by’ the steamboat from Fredericksburg and receive the visits of the ns from 2 to 8 o'clock at Gadsby’s Hotel.” e Georgetown Columbian of 1827 publishes “twenty-one maxims to be married by,addressed to the single gentlemen.” ‘The first is pretty hard on women, but it is undoubtedly true, substantially: “I never knew a good fellow in all my life that was not in some way or other the dupe of women. One man is an ass un- consciously, another with his eyes open, but all that are good for anything are saddled’ and bridied in some war and at some time or other. If a good fellow drinks (your best per- haps won't drink very much now,) but if he does drink, ten to one it is because he is out of humor with some woman. If he writes what can be write about but woman? If he games why is it but to get money to lavish on ‘some woman. For all courage, wit, ardor, vanity, good temper and all other good qualities that he possesses woman keeps an open market and can engross them wholly. But for all this, and though they are the plagues of our lives, we must have them.” GEORGETOWN WITH A BYPHEN. In all the papers published prior to 1800 the name of Georgetown is spelled with a hyphen, thus, George-Town. After that date tie hy- phen seems to have been dropped. The oldest per found was the Commercial Gazelte,pub- ished at New London, bearing date September 10, 1790, This contains four sheets and sixteen columns, and is printed on excellent paper with large und readable type. ‘The old atyle , which so resembles the present f, is used en- tirely. A good dex of its news is fureign,whole columns being given to London, Toulon and other cities of England and the continent. On September 1, 1790, Capt. Phillips, from Lon- don, reports that within the short space of two weeks nineteen American sails had been storm- beaten und compelled to put in at England's various ports for repairs. os YARNS OF OLD SOLDIERS, Three Veterans of the War Who Fought Their Battles O’er Again, From the Philadelphia Times. It was in one of the soldiers’ homes scattered over the country, and those familiar with the spirit there prevailing know that of all spots where questions of military merit are tena- ciously discussed these are the most remark- able. Leaving out the earnestly fought argu- ments relative to the abilities of particular generals, the doings of special corps or regi- ments, the interest with which many individ- uals insist upon their personally having been more or less of a pivot upon which the fate of battle if not the whole war turned must be seen to be appreciated. In this instance, that it was Just after Deco- ration day, when campaign memories are es- pecially active and access to the outer world, with its mellowing influences, is easier, may bave had something to do with it. But it goea upon record that never were three vet- erans—all belonging to different regimente— more strenuously self-assertive regarding the parts they had played in the whole unpleas- antness. It had gone from simple facts to the farthest kind of long-bow shooting all the way home. “Do you know,” finally cried the one with the crutch, breaking down all vocal opposition, “at the first Bull Run I remember shooting thirteen of ‘em at a stretch!” “And what's that to before Richmond,” he was answered by his bitterest antagonist. “I and another of the company took battery of six pieces unassisted, d still they won't give me a pension.” “Boy's play, boy's play,” was the balf con- par, comment of the last of the trio. ink of what happened to me at Ge 4 Ivaskilled eigeziae ‘This direct reflection upon the veracity of the previous stories naturelly led to reeriming- tions that only had a slumber smothered end- | fice ot ing toward the small hours of the morning. Not Exactly Pure Bostonese: From the Boston Traveller. ‘The major had much fun with the conduotor of the “grip,” or cable car, which he boarded at State street. “This car to Weshington street?” he asked meekly of the conductor.
