THE'WICKSD WALTZ.
Saul ban joined the prophets. Preach
ers and stern and godly moralists have
preached for theso many years agaiust
dancing and poured out their hottest vi
als of wrath against. the wily and wicked
waltz as being the iuventiou of the devil
Mpecia'ly designed for the destruction of
. 11 young person" yet all the same the
graceful dance has gone rn its seductive
way and (he world has not yet all gone
to the dogs, nor have fire and brimstone
rained down to blot dancers and ball
rooms from the face of the earth. Now
.a heavy reinforcement has come to the
ranks of the Salvation army iu the form
of one of the chiefs of the opposition
forces. A dancing maater of Philadel
phia, who has been a favorite Ier.der of
the "mazy" has come out in vigourous
denunciation of the waltz as now danced,
with its hugging accompanimeirs, as
end proposes a new style for using the
step, in which the partners shall stand
at arms' length and simply cros and
join hands. TIuh would le prim and
precise euough to satisfy the very elect,
but T fancy the young men and women
will wait until they have pass-d their
dancing daysbefore they will adopt
such a distant and frigid method, and as
yet I hear of no new recruits for the
rfcvised edition."
A PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.
I heard, a day or two ago, of a style
af Christianity which strikes me as beiii":
wrtrfb
ness toward one's fellow creatures than
spending time in moraliring and re
proaches. There is a clergyman who
was invited to take chargo tf a mission
church and school iu tho Kastern part
of the city where tenement houses a
bound and refined pleasures are few.
He contented upon two condition-: tirst,
that the congregation should raise a sal
ary for their minister in o;der that they
should feel that they had some duty to
perform and, second, that lie would ac
cept none of this salary for himself but
would spend the whole for the benefit of
the Church and the Sunday School. The
congregation were ;o kuow nothing of
the second condition, lest it should neu
tralize the effect of the first, but he has
faithfully fulfilled the arrangement, and
has stocked the. school with a library,
improved the chifroh et i ice S;c., and la
bored incessantly for the good of the
parish. That is' a "noteworthy fact but
that is not alL This summer he has
ring the week; corning to town to preach
and work on Sundays, and asking no
vacation like the pastors of more fashion
able churches. He" has a fine conserva
tory of flowers and he, regularly every
Saturday or Sunday gathers every blos
som from his plants and Bends or carries
them to the poor families within his dis
trict choosing the sick if there are any.
Now this is a beautiful Christianity
which is good all through, and every bud
that goes from that minister's hot-houso
to the bed side of a sick child in the top
of a tenement house, should blossom out
into a decoration for the crown of glory
which the donor is hoping for when other
flowers may bloom upon his rave,
STRETCHrXO IT.
It has been a popular delusion that
the ordinary capacity of the human stom
ach is one pint. If so the elastic mem
brane must ins as elastic as the mem
brane of a Congressman. A New York
er was accosted, a dav or two ago, by a
seedy looking tramp who 1 egged for a
diine to get a bit to eat to keep him from
Starving. The gentleman chose to be
sure. that his charity took the form of
food and not of whiskey, so, instead of
giving him money, lie wrote him an or
rlerto.a restaurant to "give the poor
fellow a dinner and charge to me."
Armed with this note the trump cn
vahsed the, situation, studied the bill of
fare and fettled down to business. lie
ginning with a mutton stew he followed
it with' roast veal, corned beef and cal
bage, roast lamb with miut sauce, two
plate of salmon, ; lobster salad; boiled
vegetables of all kinds, pie, pud
ding, cheese, three bottles of Scotch Ale
and a cigar. There was nothing mean
about him. Pis benefactor paid the bill
of $4.23 when it was presented and then
hive ted the rest of a $5. dol. bill in a
stout cane, with which he walks abroad,
looking for that hungry tramp. The
bystanders will hear some remarks when
he meets him once moreThe Tramp is
probably laying ofF waiting for the stom
ach-ache to blow over. j
HV.PPKXINGS OF TIIE WEEK.
A prodigious blast was let off, a few
days ao on the line of the hew railroad
on the We-t shore of the Hudson river.
One hundred and forty tije kegs of pow
der constituted the chargej and more than
7,000 of rock were thrown over inCo the
River by the explosion. jA stone, about
the size of a water pail j was thrown a
lon; dista'ico where it descended through
the roof ot a house to the main fhor,
where it rebounded without breaking
the floor and landed on the top of a bu
reau, where it remained, j
Two of the scamps who lay in wait
for countrymen an 1 entice them in gam
bling dens by pretending to le follow
townsmen or old acquaintances of the
victim, found they had made a mistake
a few days ag They approached a
irentleman from Indianapolis who looks
like a verdant farmer but' is no strati 'er
to New York and its wavs and insisted
that they reco.n e 1 him as an old. neigh
bor in Oshkosh or Kal iniuzo. Tl e
rere not so sure of the old friendship,
when he. promptly knocked one of them
down ami would have served the other
one likewise if he hail not taken to his
hels, leaving behind hiniju fine silk urn
brella, which has gone to Indianapolis
as a trophy. J
In one wee'e there was jreceiVed at the
New York Post OIEco 82,072 from the
sale of post age-stamp and rent of letter
boxes. That would keep a Vassar

for nearly two terms,
A parrot may be a fine companion for
a sympithetic spinster and at the same
time a wretched nuisance! for the lady's
neighbors who have a d-sire for a morn

rots that they ( the parrots ) must sing
and swear in the solitude! of their cages
and within doors and windows.
A young phviciin from Florida ar

LETTER FROM CAPE MAY,
From our Regular Correspondent.
Cape Mat, September 2, 1882.
The weather bureau turned on a blast
from the north pole yesterday and cut
the tail of the season in twain. The
Sto-kton, the last and largest of the ho
tels, closed to-day. The Congress de
clined to receive guests a week ago, but
kept the few on hand until Friday last,
when it closed. Even the hotels that
remain open during the winterthave but
few. quests. While the season h v been
a very successful one iu almost every
quarter, :t has been a dis nal failure here.
It is a short one at the best compared
with other places, but when lengthened
with pleasant weather it tails t attract.
A combination of eircu nstances h is can
tributed to depress an. I deplete Cipe
May. This season has been a very rai
ny one. For ten d ivs it rained inoi
santly, and when the weather cleared
the mosquitoes ci ne in clouds. People
stood them till the trains left, and the
town his n"t recovered fr.) u tin exo lu
of its guests in t'i h'dht of the season.
Hut there are other reasons why Cap?
May has not been successful this summer
ami why it may not be successful in sea
sons hereafter. It his not met the spir
it of competition that has sprung up all
along Long Island and Jersey coasts. It
has relied on its magnificent bathing
beach and added no other attractions.
The result Is that people have gone to new
p'ac-s an 1 left the old ones to decay.
Although the hotels hive closed, all the
cottage populallvi r mnin, and at bath
ing time there arj several hundred peo
ple left for the suf. The northeast
storing d ) mc interfere with the bath
ing. The air is chilly, but the water is
almost tepid, w'rle th breakers ccmi
rolling in high and fast with the naul
titu linous music; of a thousand ags
gon " The sights on tin sands and in
the surf increase vith the absurdities of
each year-j fashions. Everybody gets
the be.iefit, of the new mania for stock
ings. The ladies who would hardly ex
hibit the sis of their slippers on the pi
azzas of th Stockton unhlushingly show
off the full length of the new colors in
the bath. The sight is a shapely one,
and evi! ony to him, doubtless, who
evil thinks. TherKhave beer, no acci
dents this season ana but few persons
i-esnied fron the breakers. This is
mainly attributable to the absence of the
good swimmers ( for they venture out
and cannot get hack ) and to the warn
ing notices posted up in every bath roon
for the benefit olthe new comers. There
is so much shouting and frolicing in the
water that it is difficult to detect an ear
nest apreil for assistance. The new
fash'o i in dogs continues to increase at
least the dogs increise. List summer
the English pug with a black battered
nose vs the rage, and h hold? his own
quite well amoig the childless votaries
of fvshioi. This yur I nHico anew
breed with which, I am not f im'iar, but
it seems to answer every purpose as well
as the pug. These pet brutes sleep in
their mistresses lap? and are frequently
fed from the swno table, though some
of the hotel managers have not vet vield
ed to the demand for " high chairs" for
the little pets. It is a good thing tose
a sensor, open, with the hotel proprietor
shaking hands wih every one that gets
out of the omnibus, and his f aw beam
over the dollars he expects to roll in be
fore the August tid-s. Jt. is a good
thing to see at its height and sleep oi a
cot in the wash-room, at the rate of four
dollars a day, not including extras ; but
it is a better thing to see the closing days
of the season, when you can get a "parlor
with an ocean front," with the privilege
of occupying one hundred and eighty-one
other rooms, all " with ocean fronts,"
nnd on the eame floor ; to hear the un
broken murmur of the ocean at nighf,
and the wind whistle through the blinds
and around the convrs and down the
porticos of a vast and almost tenantlass
hoel ; or when the clouds lift and the
sea runs down, to watch the stately
ships come out from their hayen un
der the Delaware shore, and fleok !he
ocean Mue in the spanljyig breeze that
cones in fro.m the. southward, to le
told that ".this is the last meal sah,"
and that everything is '.'out'' but your
self, that the band wen,t up this morning
and that your liaggage was already down
for the train, this evening in short to
feel that it is your time to go home.
Yet September is the most delightful
mouth at the sea-shore, after a few days
of storm are passed, wh,ich dear, the at
mosphere, render the ai,r raUd,, and actu
ally improve the temperature of th,esurf
for liathing.

LOCAL 2T2WS.
On Sunday we took our family ofit to
ride and visited Mr. JL M. Divine's resi
dence on! the Driscol place, Scappoose.
We had a very sociable, agreeable time.
Mr. Divine has a v ry modest, fine-appearing
wife and daughter. The prem
ises looked faultlessly neat and tidy.
The orchard at the rear of the house was
just louied with fruit. A pear-tree
would take a big prize if tran fened with
loughs unbroken to aifAgri mltural f iir.
Mr. Divine is the possessor of some fine
photographs all of us much admired.
Mr. Daid Cloninger was there, and
knows very well how to act the gentle
man. Few men can make a more gen
tlemanly appearance than ca'i Mr. Clo
ninger. Mr. Divine loaded down out
wagon with choice pears ami apples.
On this place are some splendid speci
mens of black-walnut, hickory-nut and
butternut trees. It was quite dark 1-
fore reaching home, but we arrived in
safety.

Johnny Cloninger was in town lately

his blacksmith chop completed on the

When persons treat us hoggishly in
