THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1896. HE past week has been especially | eventfu; in social circles. Luneh eons, dinners, theater parties, mu- | sicales and dances followed in | bewildering succession, each en- | tertainment being not only elaborate but | in some manner characteristic and novel. | The next week will be devoted almost | entirely to smart weddings, after which, | with the exception of a few small dances, | the season of 95 will close brilliantly | with the Art Association bal masque. The last dance of the Friday-night Club, which was to have been held on Friday | evening last, was on account of the 1llness ' of Mr. Greenway postponed to April 17. The last dance of the Monday-night Dancing Ciass will be held on the evening of February 10, and the last Friday fort- mghtly meeting . will take place on the evening of the 14th. It is to be rather more elaborate than the previous efforts of this club and is to partake of the nature of a leap-year cotillon. Miss Hobart is to lead. Owing to the excessive crowding of Lunt's Hall at the previous dance of the Friday Fortnightly the patronesses an- nounce that they are compelled to decline toissue any invitations for their concluding dance, to be held in February, and that there will be absolutely no deviation from this rule; also that invitations issued for preceding dances will not hold zood or be recognized for the concluding dance. KEarly as it yet is the merits of the various watering places and summer resorts are being eagerly discussed, and people who have country estates and have been passing the season in them are already preparing to depart for their in- terior homes, The weddings next week offer a pleasing variety for those who will be fortunate to attend. The Grant-Pond wedding to- morrow evening is to be a church wed- ding and will be followed by a reception st the residence of the bride, 2017 Lyon street. The nuptials of Miss Jarboe and Jerome Case Bull will be solemnized on the morn- ing of February 6. The bride-elect is spending the few days previous to her marriage, accompanied by her mother, at the Jarboe place at Santa Cruz. The Hooker-Goad wedding, which was at first intended to be a very quiet affair, will take place on Wednesday at 5 o'clock, at the Goad residence on Washington street. Five hundred invitations have been issned for the event, which will doubt- less be one of the handsomest weddings ever celebrated in this City. It will prob- ably be the last fashionable event for some time to come to be celebrated in the Goad mansion, which has been the scene of so very many elaborate functions. Mr. Goad has decided to place this elegant residence on the market, and after the wedding, ac- companied by his two other daughters, the Misses Genevieve and Aileen Goad, will leave for an extended European visit. Easter receptions are already being planned and eagerly discussed. The most notavle already promised is the reception and cotillon to be given by Major and Mrs, Darling on Easter Monday. - Through the courtesy of General Graham the Presidio hoproom has been placed at the disposal of this generous host and hostess. The affair is in honor of Mrs. Darling’s daugh- ter, Miss Catherwood. Mrs. General Gra- bam, Mrs. J. D. Fry, Mrs. J. H. Jewett, Mrs. H. L. Dodge and Mrs. Loughborough will assist the hostess to receive her many guests and Miss Catherwood will have as assistants the Misses Graham, Misses Hooper. Miss Lincoln and Miss Lough- borough. ‘The affair is not only to” be elaborate in all ‘its details, but many surprises are promised. A The only Easter wedding yet announced is that of Miss Jennie Masten, daughter of N. K. Masten, and Mr, Ewell. It is to be celebrated in Easter week, although no definite date has yet been decided upon. ENGAGEMENTS ANNOUNCED.

NEWHALL COTILLON, One of the Prettiest Events Given During the Winter Season, - To George Almer Newhall helongs the credit of having given the most successiul and the prettiest cotfllon of the season. The oue Wednesday eveniug at his residence, on the southwest corner of Van Ness avenue and Sut- ter street, was the most original affair of the kind which has ever been attempted in San Francisco. The novelty was that Mr. Newhall had ar- ranged with four of his {riends to entertain at dinner the guests that had been inyited to the cotillon. Elabcrate dinners were served, and at their conclusion the host and hostesses mar- shaled their forces, so to speak, for the great event of the evening, and proceeded to the Newhall residence. t their home, 711 Pine street, Mr. and Mrs. Mountford 8. Wilson entertained the following ladies and gentlemen at dinner: Dr.and Mrs, McMonagle, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Woods, Mr. and Mrs: Sa uel Knight, Miss Hager, Miss Newlands, Mjes Ella Goodull, Miss Sallié Maynard, Miss Minnie Houghton, Dr. Harry Tevis, Walter L. Dean, Colonel C. F. Crocker, Joseph D. Grant and Robert Hooker The guests at the dinner table of Mr. and Mrs. W. Mayo sQ‘ewhnll. at their home, 1208 Post street, werex Mr. and Mrs, George H. Lent, r. and Mrs. H. M. A. Miller, Mr, and Mrs. George A. Pog:, Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Hop- kins, Mr, and Mrs, Cushing, Miss Graves, Miss Laura Bates, A. St. J. Bowie and Mr. Sewell. The ladies and gentlemen who dined with Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Crockett of 2029 California street, before proceeding to the cotillon, were: Miss McNutt, Miss Romietta Wallace, Miss Jennie Blair," Miss Carrie Taylor, William D, Paige, George B. de Long, John Lawson and ‘Augustus Taylor. JAt the dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. J. R. K. Nuttall, at their residence, 1219 Jackson street, the guests were: . Mr, and Mrs. G H. How- eorge ard, Mr. and Mrs, Frank J. Carolan, Miss Edith figég:;'v Willfam R. Heath and Frederick The guests, upon their arrival at the Newhall :mul m‘m 4 n;heu‘dfl into the cl?l.k Ang dress- ng apartments, ane nce into ihe “spa- Oifus 120 ox quistiely urniehed AbARIDE soOmE: where they were received by Mrs. H. A. Newhall and George Almer Newhall. The roper arrangement of such an affairis no easy ik There are-s0 many—so very many—littie things that seem trivial, yet which must be attended to carefully and with good taste. All of thesé had received their due share of atten- tion, however. The figures of the german were all new and the favors exceptionally handsome and novel, having been sent out-from New York specially for this dance. The cotillon was led by Mr. Newhall without & partuer. The first figure danced was double eircles. When the dancers had completed the circles they formed into baskets and then backed once more into double lines. The grand right and left followed until partners were reached, when & waltz concluded the figures. In this figure the ladies -received little statuettes showing daring riders uf the gentler sex putting their mounts to hurdies of formid- able dimensions. The gentlemen received similar tokens, the riders, however, being of the sterner half of humanity. Not a little ingenuity had been bestowed on the dev!slng of these favors, and when they were -displaye considerable merriment resulted. Military Flags was the name of the next fig- ure. The ladies and gentlemen, having formed 1n the center _of the floor, turned and faced each other. The flags were then crossed in the center, forming an arch. Under this all the dancers passed, and when the iast couple had dcneé 80 they marched to the head of the room, the gentleien going to the right and the ladies to the left until they met at the other end of the hall, when the polka was danced. Silken flags of all nations were borne by the dancers in this figure, the resulting combinations being both pleasing and perplexing. 4 For favors the ladies received military hel- mets, kepis and fezes andjthe gentlemen artifi- cial frnit, The third figure denced was called The Snake. In thiseight couples took out a like number and formed lines in the center of the ballroom, back to back. They then marched in couples and circled around the room, 'the entlemen passing between the ladies until they reached their original positions. Cupids, diligently sharpening their arrows, were the favors received by the ladies and upon the gentiemen were bestowed little jeweled hearis pierced by arrows, The fourth fifium was simple enough, but quite pretty. t was called The Musical Chair. Two Tows of chairs were placed: back to back in the center of the room, and on these the ladies were seated. The gentlemen then marched past, continuing their progress until the signal was given, and the lady opposite whosg chair a gentleman found himself became his partner and they waltzed. For'this figure the favors for the ladies were small tambourines, littlé pianos and watering- pots, and for the gentlemen ‘miniature banjos and violins, s Quite a quaint figure was the lgst—The Sur- prise. In the center of theroom were placed Bcreens with six panels of tissue paper, behind each screen six ladies being concealed. The gentlemen formed a _circle around the panels, and when the signal was given a lady broke through the paper panel and danced with the gentleman who happened to be opposite. Miniature sewing-machines and work- baskets were the favors received by the ladies in this figure, and each of the gentlemen was made happy by the gift of a little pug dog in bronze. £ It was ha!f an hour after midnight when the lest figure was coneluded, and then the guests proceeded to the large supper-room in the upper story of the house. Here a collation was served on small tables, at each of which were seated six persons. The tables were decorated with violets and with ribbons of ashade to match the flowers, and an elabo- Tate supper Wes served. The menu was as fol- lows: MENU. . Grape fruit. California oysters, fancy roast, Marrons glaces. Biscuit To.coni. Fruits glaces. Cate. After supper the company returned to the h parlors, where an hour was spent in_general dancing, and then the fortunate guess that had participated in the most delightful and original cotillon ever given in this City gath- ered up their numerous favors, spoke their adieux and took their ways homeward. OVER THE TEACUPS. Mrs, A, Borel's Reception—Mrs. Alvord's Tea. Theater Parties, . Mrs. A. Borel and the Misses Grace, Anita, Sophie and Alice Borel entertained their many friends at a -tea yesterday, at their home on Stockton street. The Borel residence, more is the pity, has not been opened for entertainments often dur- ing the past few years, but the reception yes- terday sfternoon made up in excéllence for the lack of similar affairs. _ The many apartments, with their handsome bengings and furnishings, were fragrant with the odor of San Mateo violets and acacia blos- soms. Palms lined the walls, and smilax and ivy draped -casements and doorways. The hours of the tea were from 4 till during which there was a large number of visitors. Assisting Mrs.. Borel to receive her guests were: Mrs. Ed-Eyre, Mrs. Perry Eyre, Mrs. Gaston Ashe, Mrs. Horace Sperry, Miss Mamie Burling, Miss Bessie Bowie, Miss Mey Phelan, Miss Page, Miss Balisbury, Miss Edith Pratt, Miss Lillie 0’Connor, Miss Grace Martin. Another very elaborate tea vesterday was the one given by Mrs. William Alvord at her resi- dence on Broadway. The Alyord residence is of itselt so very elegant that but little decora- tion was found necessary. Fragrant blossoms were placed in bowls and vases in the various lgnnment! and palms were also liberally used. The hours of the tea were from 4 till 7,-during which at léast 600 fi“”" enjoyed Mrs. Alvord’s hospitality. . Assisting Mrs.” Alvord to receive were Mrs. C. M. Keeney, Mrs.- Mrs. F. Z.

Sanborn Hirsch of Portland, Or., had a party of twelve. On Thursday eveninf A. Brown entestained & party oi sixteen. All these parties were es- pecially en{joynblc, being preceded in many cases by a dinner ana all invgriably followed by an.elaborate supper. Miss Edith McBean entertained eight young ladies at luncheon recently at the Hotel Riche- lieu. A tempting menu was discussed at a anund table prettily decorated with choice owers. J. W. Keeney, MUSIOALES, Excellent Vooal and. Imstrumental Pro- grammes for Musio Lovers, Mr.and Mrs. W. Mooser and Miss Alice Mooser gave a delightful musicale on Saturday lastat their home, 2709 Pierce street: The Mooser resi- dence is especially adapted forlarge entertain- ments and lends itself readiiy to decoration. Violets and hyacintns were used with artistic effect, and potted palms formed s delightful background for the'elegant hangings and bright furnishings. “Among those who assisted in the excellent musical programme presented ‘were: - Miss Confer of Taco Mrs. Alvina Heuer Willson, Miss Reynaul, Miss Alice Mooser, Mr. Reynaud, Mrs, Duncan, Dr. McKee and the mandolin quartet composed of Mrs. H.

A Supervision That Is Maintained With Happy Results Over Many Rescued Lads. Rev. D. O. Crowley, director of the Youths’ Directory, will- leave .town this week for a tour of the State. The object of his trip is to look after boys who have pessed through the directory and are- placed in good homes in the country. While buving his ticket yesterday in the Southern Pacific office, Father Crowley talked with enthusiasm about his plan of watching over the boys’ welfare. " ° “I am about to start out on a tour that will be quite an extended one,’’ he said. “My route will take in the Ban Joaquin and Sacramento. valleys, and I shall also travel about through the Santa Clara and Salinas valleys and down the coast rail- road as far as San Luis Obispo. I make this trip at regular intervals just to see how the boys are getting on_and how they are treated by those having charge of them. “Our work in the Youths’}Directory does not end in the institution itself. We take in boys from ‘ihe streets’ and other places and when they are able to do anytbing we find them homes or positions. In this way a large number of promising lads are distributed throughout the State. They like country life and grow. into fine, able young fellows in the open air; and, besides, they are better’morally and mentally in their new homes and under the influences of their pleasant surroundings. This 1s a wonderful difference from the life they would have to lead if+ left in the City to drag along an existence in the streets,” It is the saving of them.” ““How are they educated " “We look out for that. We always stipulate that the boys must be sent to school every day until they reach the age of 14 years.” Affer that it iS not part of the agreement with their employes or guardi- ans, although many of_the boys -are al- lowed to continue attending school. ‘‘In the mornings and evenings they do chores around the houst or farm and make themself useful. “If wefind that a lad is not properly treated we take him from that home and find him another place, or, if he 1s dissatis- fied, we give him a change. # “'On my tour I visit each and every one of these boys and see for myself' how they are being cared for and how they are pro- gressing. The work is well worth the trouble, and is more than repaid by the results accomplished.” LUCERO 1S ACCEPTED, Charles Fair's Yacht Has Finally Been Turned Over to Her Now Owners. The yacht Lucero, which was built for Charles L. Fair, at Seattle last year, has at last been accepied. Several days ago in- structions were received by the attorneys of the young millionaire directing them to make a settlement 6f the matter. The yacht was at onee turned over to George A. Knight by Robert Englebrecht, the builder. The price of the yacht was orig- inally placed at nearly $20,000, but whether this entire sum was paid for her is not made known. As soon as the transfer ‘was made the Lucero -was taken over to Oakland Creek, where she will be housed over and allowed. to remain until the return of the new owner.

BB DNCE T0 WIHE She Tells Them Just What to Do ta Hold Their Hus- ; bands, ' MAKE THEM SELF-SATISFIED, The Head of the House Sho;lld> Also Be Developed Into a Creature of Habit. ‘ NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 28.—T hearda clever woman give as hier idea of the best method of holding a man this answer: “‘Make him a creature of habit.” Do you know how much truth thereis in that? If you are in doubt about a man try it. Get him in the habit of sitting in a certain chair, and he finds most others uncom- fortable; get him in the habit of seeing your face smiling at him across the din- ner table, and he is rather upset when he is opposite another woman. That woman who -understood a man who had loved many women, that woman who was neither young nor beautiful, Mme. de Maintenon, said of Louis XIV: ‘He is used to every chair in my room, and if their places were changed it would annoy him. He is used to walking a cer- tain distance every evening to see me, and to go further or less would be a trouble to him. Iknow thethings that please him, the fooa he likes, I know what annoys him, T know the people who are pleasant and those who are unpleasant to him, and I never contradict him unless I feel that he is in remarkably good health and anxious to impress upon me how much more he knows than Ido. ThenIstarta little discussion, but in it I never give a hint of the. great knowledge I possess,: I *)em_m him to come out conqueror, and he orgives me and loves me all the more be- cause of my seeming ignorance. Aftera man has passed 40, the woman he loves is the woman he is used vo.” I wonder if this is true? Iam tempted to believe.it. Did you ever realize the value of magic words—words that will bring you blessings or words that will result in your suffer- ing? Words that you could utter to your friends and words that said to your ene mies will bring all sorts of trougle upon them?. Of course, the most important of all words is “‘abracadabra.”” This, written on a bit of parchment and put in a silk bag, worn about the neck, will drive away all evil spirits and bring good health to you. Could this have beea the begin- ning of the scapular? People who were very wealthy got precious stones or bits of gold nn§ had this mystic word written upon each and. then the pre- cious bit was covered with a golden case, not unlike a locket, and swung on a string of pearls, gold or of diamonds, as one’s desire or purse permitted. By the by, this was the name Cagliostro gave to his favorite horse. If youiave the chills (and oh! is there anything worse than a chill, unless it i3 the fever thatcomes aiterit?) then bave ‘‘Abracalan’’ written on your parchment, and the cbills will disappear as rapidly as your monthly allowance. It appears, according to history, that there is a certain amount of sex in these words, for what cures a bad headache, a fainting spell or indigestion in a man will do no good whatever to a woman., For these ills a man should have, either on the parch- ment in his bag or on his shirt cuff, or, in- deed, wherever it is most convenient, the word ‘‘Anamzaptas,” while a young woman with a leaning toward headaches and these other ills requires ‘‘Anam- zapta,’’ i For general use around the house, when the kitchen lady is insubordinate and the children ail show symptoms of getting the measles, the word **Agla” is handy. It wouldn’t bea bad ideafor the people who have discovered its good qualities to have it painted on stiff cardboard in very large letters, ftame it, and permit it to take the place of the worsted motto which in many houses has formed the chief deco- ration (?). If, to use the language of that immortal Mr. Chimmie Fadden, ‘“‘you're chasin’ yourself around the country” and meet a spake, you neéd mnot trouble to use his “favorite phrase, - “T’ell,” but instead draw yourself up in the most dig- nified manner,.stare the serpent in the eye and say “Osya.” 1 do not know how to gronopnce this word, and I beg that no- ody will' ask me. if the “y” is soft or hard; one of the charms about the mystic words is that you can pronounce them as %ou please, for it is doubtful if, west of alcutta, anybody but a few Oriental pro- fessors -knows just how they should be uttered. I should like you to feel that I am giving you much that is good in offer- ing this mystic slang; but it seemed to me that, as words don't amount to so very much, there could be no harm in tryin them. In that they are unlike paten: medicines, If you have a ruby or a sa; Phlre‘ or evén an emerald tuflluienty large to take it, get the word ™ 2 engraved upon it, ana all the money you want will come to you. . If somebody would only prove this, I would pawn the entire furniture and be- longings of ‘““The Hut’’ to get a ruby and| to have th® dinky word puton it. Buf alas! aithough I have heard the tale an am repeating it, I have never even met an Oriental gentleman who had struck it rich, 80 to say, by his mystic word. When you have an enemy and meet him, hurl the word “Abraxas” at him, and immediately a ladder will fall-on him, or if it is a she, her hat will go out of fashion, but what- ever happens you will get the best of it. A really, righty enemy, one on whom you wish' all sorts of dreadful tninfs to fall, can be made to suffer dreadfully if you send him _a -sheet of paper with “Abra- zapta” written on it. It seems to me that if these letters were spelled out on chil- dren’s blocks there would be a great run on a’s. Perhaps it is because it is the first letterand therefore difficult tolearn. Well, I don’t care very much, for in my own name I have the mystic letter A bounded on each side by the mystic letter B, so though you can’t fina Venezuela, there is no difficulty in'discovering Bas. FISH FOR THE SEA. Herring That Remain a Day on Shore and Then Are Thrown in - . Deep Water. Yesterday on the deck of almost every one of the long line of fishing-smacks that rock beside the pier at Fisherman’s whart heaps of fine fat herring were lying to be given back to the sea again when the little fleet reached deep water. One fisherman was stowing away a large fifty-pound box in the stern of his boat. ‘When asked what object he had in throw- ing the fisn away, he affected an air of reat stupidity and said: *‘You want to guy; you come down to fish?"” Qollector L. J. Morris said: “The fish- ermen throw away much less fish now than they formerly did. I baven’t noticed the boats particularly: when leaving for the fishing grounds, but I don’t have any doubt but that they do throw away fish. “You can hardly blame them. ‘It is a hard thing to guuge the market exactly, g0 there is bound to be a surplus after the market is supplied. Now if they should sell what is left for half or quarter the price they ordinarily get, you see the next day they would not' seil a fish at the present rates, for purchasers would wait until the reduced. rate period of the day arrived. - % % bl “They must protect themselves, you know. - As it is, they scarcely make a liv- ing and they work hard for what.they get, 100, AE 1 ree with Commissioner Chad- bourne about a free market on the wharves.

Louis H, Turner, lieutenant-commander of the Naval Battalion, has issued his first order, and in it he commences at once ihe organization of the battalion upon strictly naval principles. The first provision of the new order allows the wearing of red service stripes by enlisted men, oné stripe for each re- enlistment of three years. The stripe will run diagonally across the sleeve between the elbow and the wristband. The order also direcis the commanders | of divisions to assign to each member a | number, to be known as the ‘“‘ship” or | *“watch’ number, the First Division using | the numbers from 1 to 100; the Second | Division from 101 to 200; the Third Diyi- sion from 201 to 300; the Fourth Division from 301 t. 400, and the Fifth Division | from 401 to 500. The odd numbered men shall constituie the starboard watch, and | the even-numbered men the port watch, and a quarter-inch band of white tape upon the upper seam of the sieeve of the | odd-numbered men, and a similar band | similarly placed on the left sdeve of the even-numbered men shall be used to desig- nate their proper watch. 1 The aivision commander will also assign each member to a squad, a boat crew, a gun orew and an infantry section. The | naval ‘‘section” formation will be the hasis of these_assignments, there being sixteen men and two petty officers to each section. This unit will be retained complete for the gun crews and ‘boat crews, and will be di- videa in two for the squad formation. Each seaman will also be furnished with a “sstation billet” card, containing his num- ber and station under all formations. 1t is announced that the annual four of duty will this year be performed_in July, when a week’s’ cruise in the battalion boats, agsisted by the State tugs, will be ordered. Members are directed to arrange vacations accordingly, and in the mean- time permission is granted to any six men of the battalion, or more, one of whom shall be a petty officer, to take out the boats at any time. The various division commanders are directed to convene their officers in meeting at frequent intervals, and they are reminded to keep up the nu- merical ‘strength of their divisions. 5 The names of the boats of the battalion are announced follows, and no other names will ba allowed in referring to them. The designated names will be carved upon the backboards of.the boats and gilded. The four boais in the bat- talion boathouse shall be known as: No. 1, the Ma) flower; No. 2, the Marion; No. 8, the Boston; No. 4, the Albatross. The sailing launch of the Third Division shall be No. 5, the Monadnoc, and the cutter of the same division shall be No. 6, the Hart- {ford. The whaleboat of the Fourth Divi- sion shall be No. 7, the Bennington, ayd the cutter of the same division shall be No. 8, the Philadelphia, These names are all taken from the ships to which the boats belonged. Each division is allowed twelve petty officers-and two musicians, with ratings and arm devices as follows: One chiet petty officer, rating chief boat- swain's inum?elni; device, a spread eagle, three chevrons and crossed anchors. Four pétty officers of the first class—One rating master at arms; .arm device, threechev- Tons, star and spread le. One boatswain’s mate; arm device, three ehevrons,cross anchors and spread eagie. One gunner’s mate; arm device, three chevrons, cross cannons and :gread eagle. One quartermaster; arm device, ree chevrons, wheel and spread eagle. Four petty ofticers sof the “second class—Two rating boatswain’s mates; arm device, two chevrons, cross anchors and spread eagle. One gunner's mate; arm device, two chevrons, eross caunons and spread eagle. One quartermaster; srm device, two chevrons, wheel and spread agle. “Fhreo petty officers of the third class, all to rate 88 coxswains; arm deviee, one chevron, oross anchors and spread eagle. Bugler's arm device shall be two chevrons, bugle and spread eagle, and they shall rate peity officers of the second class. Odd numbered divisions will assign their chief petty officer to the starboard watch, ‘and even numbered divisions to.the port watch. Ali‘quartermasters and coxswains shall make themselves proficient in signaling, under the instruction of the ehief signalmaz of the bat- talion. This is the first organization of the bat- talion upon strictly nautical lines. When the order is complied with the five com- panies will then be organized just as a ship’s crew. The lieutenant-commander is a ship captain of years of experience, and he intends to make the Naval Bat- talion more nearly approach a naval force than it has ever before attempted. e Tt The Whipping-Post. The old whipping-post still flourishes in the county jail down &t Newcastle, Del., and the ‘‘cat’’ wields a great moral influ- ence in the community. Accordingtoa well-known Delawarean who was in town yesterday .it seems that tobacco is the only solace of the inveterate law-breakers, who are regularly sentenced to the post. They claim that it strengthens their nerves, and enables them to bear the strokes of the lash with greater fortitude. Some time ago a colored man was sen- tenced to twenty-five lashes. He was one of the “regulars,” and having no tobacco was all of a tremble. His nerve seemed completely gone. He 'writhed under the first fifteen strokes, and then yelled, “Foh de Lawd’s sal , Mister Sheriff, gimme a chaw of eatin’ tobacco!” The official paused, granted the request ard went on with his unplegsant task. With a piece of the weed in his cheek the culprit did not seem to mind the remaining ten strokes in the least.—Philadelphia Record.
