POOR HOTEL-KEEPING.
1 Noble Work Done by a Reformer la
a Coon-SItin Cap.
One night a year ago, writes a New
York Sun correspondent, there were half
dozen ot us to go up to the village ho
tel in the rickety old bus, and among
the crowd was a solemn-looking old
1 hap, dressed in very plain goods and
wearing a coon-skin cap.- It was the
typical village hotel landlord in the
bar-room, a very fresh young man be
lli nd tho register, mighty little for sup
per, and that poorly cooked, and there
was more or less growling. The man
with the coon-skin cap was treated very
brusquely by the clerk, and the frowsy
headed waiter girl didn't seem to care
whether ho had any thing to eat or not.
lie didn't Bay much, but It was evident
that he was mad.
After supper the landlord and "Coon
skin" had a private confab. When it was
ended the old man came down-stairs,
opened the front door, and then turned
to the clerk, and said:
"You git!"
"What do you mean?" ,
"I have rented this hotel. Skip!"
The clerk put on his coat and hat and
walked out. Then "Coon-skin" sent
word to the cook and waiter girl to be
out in half an hour, for the hostler to
be gone by midnight, and for the bar
keeper to vacato by noon the next day.
He kindly allowed us to stop over night,
but we had to" get our breakfast at a
bakery. By noon the doors of the hotel
were nailed up, signs of "closed" posted,
and as we footed it down to the depot
tho solemn old man. thawed out suffi
ciently to observe:
.'I'm after seven more of 'em along tida
lino of railroad, and if I can shut 'em up I
figured it out to my entire satisfaction,
and I truly believe that three-fifths of
the crimo in this country is incited bj
poor hotel-keeping."
THE MONK-FISH.
A Carious Creature That disappeared by
Keason of a Plague.
One of tho nightmares of John Ash
ton's "Curious Creatures of Zoology" it
the monk-fish or sea monk, he being in
debted to. both Aldrovandus and Stow
for his account. If the old writers arc
reliable, these monsters- wore quite
common in the North sea, the British
channel and along the Irish coast up tc
the year 1414, when they are said tc
have become extinct through the rav
ages of a plague similar to that which
was affect is g men at about the same
time. The superstitious of those days
lelieved that they were priests ot
monks who had been cursed for some
crime and condemned by God to an end
less life beneath the waves.
Stow's account of one caught in 1187
is as follows: "lie had the shape' of a
man in all poynts and was kept ia the
castle at Oxford by the keeper thereof:
All manner of raw meats he did gladly
eate, but more grcedilie of rawe Sshe.
after that he had crushed out all mois
ture. Often he was brought t; the
church, but showed no signs of rever
ence, and at length, when not wel1
looked to, he stole away to the sea anf
was never seen again after."
A -alt Lake.
The French government has just sole
to M. Chefnenx the right to refine anc
export salt from Lake Assal, one of the
most remarkable sheets of water in thf
world. The lake is in the tlistrict o'
Obock, east Africa, , only a few milef
from the head of the Bay of Tad jourah
All along the edge of this little lake
which comprises only sixteen, square
miles, is a bed of nearly pure salt aboir"
av foot thick. The Jake bottom is appar
entry a bed of solid salt. A long brin?
brook or creek drains water from th
ocean into this body of water.

U
NIMBLE NEGROES.
Some of -the Queer Dances of the
Southern Darky..
intricacies 01 tun "buck" una "wmg-j
Iances as Performed by the Nat-
oral Terpslchoreans of the
Plantations.
Before the war, a plantation negro
who could not dance a fewsteps of
that particularly characteristic Ethio
pian dance known as ' the "buck
dance" was very hard to find."! It was
the pastime of old and young darkies
jilike, not only on the plantations and
on the levees, but on the decks of thej
steamers that plied the various rivers
of the south, and at that time formed
almost the only mode of travel and
transportation. The "buck dance,"
however, attained its greatest perfec
tion and enjoyed its greatest popularity
on the plantation, because there was
more leisure time granted slaves on
plantations than to those who were
employed on the rivers and steamboats.
It was, says the Chicago Herald, a mat
ter of great surp ise to the stranger
traveling through the south to see
with what, precision and versatility
very young darkies executed the many
difficult steps that characterize "buck"
and "wing" dancing. . '
While the dance is one difficult of
execution, it has been acquired by the
jig and step dancers of the American
stage as far 'as the simple steps them
selves are concerned, but it is impos
sible for anyone but a negro to put
that distinctive personality into the
dance which makes it so fascinating to
the beholder. It is impossible to tell
how old the "buck dance" is, or. where
or when it originated. It is errone
ously stated that it was called the
"buck dance" because only men or
" -nek negroes indulged in it, but this
is not the case. It derives the name "of
"buck dancing" from the fact. that on
the plantations it was customary for
one dancer to "buck v or. pit himself
against another. The contest was not
only one of endurance, but also in the
variety of steps and contortions that
the dancer indulged in.
The war and consequent freedom of
the negro in no wise interfered with
the "buck dancing." In fact, it is
more common to-day in those districts
in the south in which the negro popu
lation dominates than ever before, a
fact that possibly may be accounted
for by reason of the very freedom of
the negro and his disposition to do as
he pleases. It has ever . been the
pleasure of the darky to dance, and as
a race he indulges in it now more than
ever. On the occasion of festive gath
erings where the darkies from various
plantations had gathered for dancing,
singing and feasting, it was not an un
usual sight to see several "buck danc
ing" contests going on at one time.
Usually two robust, young darky boys
would begin the contest. Upon signs of
fatigue on the part of either of these a
restlessness would be observed among
a half-dozen or more -young darkies of
both sexes, standing nearest to the
dancers, and urging , them on to
greater efforts by shouts, laughter,
calls for change of steps and different
steps. As soon as one of the dancers
gave evidence of distress one of the
restless group that surrounded him
would jump into his place, force him
away, and commence dancing with
might and main, keeping up or varying
the steps until the second of the
original couple tired out, when his
place would be immediately taken byl
either boy or girt, ana so on the
contest would continue for hours.
"Wing" dancing' was mostly in
dulged in by barefooted darkies, the
steps being of. a bounding nature and
not wearing on the sole of the foot.
Another very popular dance in the
south among the darkies was .."Jump
ing Jim Crow," a dance that could be
indulged in by the barefooted darky
without much danger to the soles of
his feet. "Buck dancing" ; is totally
different. . ' ' '
The shoes used are ordinary flat
bottomed shoes without heels, and the
entire foot must be kept on the floor.
In all the bewildering movements and
steps the pat-pat-pat of the. dancer's
feet must keep perfect time with the
music of the banjo. ,The names of the
various steps are curious. He begins
with the "rabbit hop," which brings
into play every muscle of his body as
he bends and hops "without lifting his
feet from the ground. Then comes the
"Johnny Bull," which is a series of
slides and a heavy step to each bar of
music. That changes to a rushing
step, with a slip from the heel and a
perfect balance of ' the body. Then
the "Pass Malard," where he waves his
hands from the forearm and the left
foot drags, while the right seems to be
doing a lot of hard work.
' He swings from that into "Broken-
Foot Charley," a crazy sort of dance,
where he gets his legs all tangled up
and one foot twists around the other
without landing him on his back, as it
certainly would a beginner. "Break
de chicken's neck" is the next change.
This is a twist of ankle and of knee, as
a man twists a chicken's neck. In "Go
'way sugar, yo' done los' yo taste," the
"jig-sand" represents sugar and Grant
pushes it and bursts away and by feet,
arms and face - indicates dislike.
"Scratch ground" means walking and
reversing in time to the rapid music.
In this he is loose-jointed from the
head down. . "Wake up, black man," is
a wild dance. He swings around and
turns and twists like a contortionist,
but never once loses . his ' time; : his
movements are swift and remarkable
for strength and grace. Only a young
and powerful physique could stand the
strain.
While coon hunting, John Rider, of
Dutchtown, Mo., lost an eye in a very
peculiar way. He was going up a tree,
in search of a coon, when an owl flew
down and tore out his eyeball with its
claw. '
