A grand full dress inspectioa wili be held Wednesday afternoon. Camp will be broken Sunday morning, Au- gust 27, and the homeward march begun. This is the battery's fifth trin, the two preceding camps being at tar Ridge. The Feason given for camping at Marshali Hall is its proximity to this city. On this ac- count the marches will be short and the time in Fre, long. Lieut. Winthrop Alexander is out of town and on that account will be unable to.ac- company his comrades. ———— Assistant District Attorneys. Attorney General Olney has appointed John H.

James Robinson, who now lives at Cin- cinnatl, is probably the oldest survivor of} the old-time circus.

He says that in those days the regular charges in the south were % for whites and 37 1-2 cents for slaves, Spanish coins were plentiful and a dollar could be split up in nearly any way desired, The slaves were charged the higher price In order to, in a certain measure, restrict their patronage. ea the Te- Could Count on the Choir, From the Lewiston Evening Journal.

RANDALL AND RIVER VIEW. How @ Well-Known Pleasure Resort Came to Be Established. Of the many thousands who go down to River View to enjoy the delight of a sail on the Potomac and then avail themselves of the pleasures that that attractive resort affords few think of the money and en- ergy expended to make the place what it now is. All the work has been done in the brief period of seven years, for when the tract of land was bought by Capt. Randall it was simply a farm covered with bushes and brambies. Capt. Randall, however, knew what he wanted and, having pur- chased the ground, set to work to improve it, carrying to the task that steam-engine like energy that has characterized his whole career. He spent money with a javish hand, although he made every dol- lar count, and the result 1s seen in the handsome resort of today. The dining hall, which is one of the finest to be seen at such resorts,cost $15,000 and the other build- ings were correspondingly expensive. After seeing that the necessary buildings were erected, Capt. Randall addressed him- self to the task of providing fea- tures of amusement and ent ment for his patrons. There are the flying horses, the roller coaster, the bowling and shooting galleries, swings and the e spacious pavilion where the young people ‘may indulge in dancing to their tent to the music of an excellent orchestra. In addition to all these there is the stage Performance, and some noted artists have geen at River View, among whom may be mentioned Fleurette, the hich with pe mchate accp boat ‘and every arachu Faces, and every Row and then there are extensive Gisplays stage performanc = Cap Randall hes Nad formances Capt. fia hos displayed: wisdom nd Keen whtwicins splay. wi now! of the public taste in his selection of at- tractions. It is only fourteen years since Capt. Ran- dall made his first venture on the Potomac in the purchase of the steamer wor Wash- ington, which was then running to it, Mount Vernon and Occoquan Falls. He still owns this boat, and she runs weekly trips to Occoquan Falls. Then he bought the steamer Crystal Wave, for which he paid $46,000, but this boat within ten days after her purchase by Capt. Randall collid- ed with another vessel and was a total lors. After this accident the steamer Sam’l J. Pentz was bought for $45,000, and more re- cently the Harry Randall for $46,000. Capt. Randall {s still a young man, being only forty-three years of age, and has great ex- ecutive abiiity and indomitable persever- ance. He has a fine home in South Wash- ington, where he lives with his family. ee THE PRIDE OF VERSAILLES. It Went Plump Into the Firé and the Boys Scattered at Daylight. From the New York Sun. “Versailles and I,” said Col. Watkins of the south and west several nights ago, “are strangers now. It is a beautiful town, right in the heart of the Kentucky blue grass, and its whisky is as mellow as old sherry. Business took me there three or four times ® year until two years ago. That was a night for you! Some of the ol4 gang had the nerve to return to town after that night's racket. I never did; heard there was an indictment loafing around the court house for me, and I havea t found it neces- sary to go back. Never knew exactly what started the gang that right, except it was in the air. There may have been as lively & crowd of young men in many other towns that I have visited, but I have never found them. Versailles was always a picnic for me. “All the young men in town me eye anyt were inembers e or Ee zation, and it was the proud possessor of an old-fashioned side-bar pump engine. It was a Candy, and when the foreman stood on it and urged the boys to w! it_up they made the old machive creak. But I'm getting ahead of my story. On this night Versailles man now can cell you tts uame- were out for sport. I always traveled with the boys when I struck town, and we went to the biggest saloon, which ‘was a general meeting place. The proprietor had gone to Lextt , and his bartender was in charge. Say, if you've never irank good whisky in the blue grass region half of your life has been wasted. It seems to get right hold of you, and after a few drinks you're on stilts. “Scme one suggested that we should get the bartender drunk and run the saloon ourselves, It took patience, and when at 1 o'clock we stretched the bartender out the boys were having an -legant time. ] was initiated as bartender, and I mixed every- thing. Suddenly there was an alarm of fire. “Down the street some oue yelled, ‘The grist mill's burning up! Well, we didn't Stay to close the saloon, we just holted. The old engine was zanked cut, and we went reeling ang stumbling ¢own the road with it. The mill was in a 4 ley, and when we reached the. top of the steep bill that overlooked it we stopped and prepared to do business. “I never knew what was the- trouble. Probably the coupler botcied his work. At any rate we began ‘o pump. Clickety- clack! went the engine, and no water came. ‘The crowd jeered and we pumped hacder. Still no water. “‘Whatsh up? asked the toreman. “‘Damfino!” says I, getting weak in the stomach. Clickety-elack! went the old ma- chine, but it was no use. By this tine the walls of the mill had fallen m, and we were disgraced. ““Uncouple zhose,’ ordered the foreman. We stopped pumping and broke the hose. “Give her a push was the next order. We caught the idea. Twenty men placed their shoulders against the machine and pushed together. Down the hill she started, gath- ering speedway, and straight into the fire plunged the pride of Versai‘les. 1 tell sou, it was a sight worth . We sat down and cheered and swore like madmen. The townspeople who were up didn't care to ai tack us, I heard afterward that the iron: of the old machine were found in the ruins, “Daylight sobered us a bit. t drove to Lexington. Some of the other boys rode to near-by towns and caught trains. At any rate, the grand jury met tne next day, and rot a member of the engine company was in town. When some of them stragzied back, later they placed the blame on me. That's why I don’t go to Versailles.” pee THE WHISTLING GIRL. Fascinating, Generons, N. So a Woman’s Analy: From the New York Sun. A woman who has made a study of the whistling girl says that, aside from her as- sumption of a masculine prerogative, she is usually a dainty and fastidious bit of femi- ninity, who loses not one fota of her wo- manly charm when she puckers her pretty mouth and whistles a merry tune. Rather, the roguish twinkle in her eye challenges censure. To a superficial observer she is bright, jolly, original. Know her better and she is frank, honest, high spirited, noble hearted, superior to the alleged pettiness of her sex, and, should circumstances re- quire, sufficiently generous to make wonder- ful sacrifices for those she loves, for, being ardent and impulsive, she loves warmly. She may hate, too, with S thusiasm, but not for long, for, rs of heart and believing always the of humanity, this harsher sentiment finds no oe home with her. ‘ontrary to the general opinion, she is rarely, if ever, a “tomboy,” and if she oc. casionally makes use of her ability to at tract the attention of some delinquent coi ductor it is only when she is hurrying home at dusk, and knows that the friendly dark- ness will not reveal her secret. As she ap- — the corner she sees the coveted car leaving her, perhaps, to a long and weary wait upon the sidewalk. She glances around to appeal to some possible small boy, but this convenient commodity fails to a . Steadily the car is receding. Can ae be blamed if she for moment fot that utility should weigh on ingt d in her vocal scale? And at last, when she triumphantly enters the car, no one would sup; that those demure lips had uttered That’ shriit and effective signal. Altogether, although inclined to be willful and rebellious at times (and who admires dull perfection), she is a girl fashioned after a free ideal. Is she to have her vocal free- dom restrained by a cruel conventionality which forbids her to enliven her own home with a pretty, bird-like music, while at the same time it not ngs tolerates, but often pretends to admire, the vocalist next door Who seeks to entertain the entire neighbor- hood at eventide by a series of waill notes and soaring crescendos? The whist Ung girl abruptly unpuckers her rosy ij to show her pretty teeth in a dazzling smile as she flashes upon you a newer version of her grandmother's rebuke: “Girls that whistle and hens that. fe thei way wherever they #0. : ell Argumentum ad Hominem, From Texas Siftings.
