' Corre«pondrao« New York Journal. For unadulterated dullness, Saratoga Is unique. If you want to do nothing, and do it In a thoroughly approved way, incidentally spending as much money am you like, or don't like, to help along, it is just the plaoe for you. There is nothing to do tout do nothlrg, and atin, for all that every crack of time !e filled up with something. It roilly couldn’t be dullfer If It tried; more dead, as far as gayety Is concerned, than If it were one huge, monumental door-nail. Thors Is nothing, however, like making the best of everything, and everybody is trying to be Just am lively as absolute Inactivity will permit. They seem to thrive on their efforts, for they all wear exquisite beams of contentment on their faces, which are perfectly genuine—the beams, I mean, for, of course, the faces must be, although I’m not so sure about the complexion part of them In all cases. amount Of practice could cultivate those •miles; they are the genuine article, and seem to say, "Isn’t It nice to live!” Yes, and to be right here In Saratoga, for no matter what they say about it not J being what It once was. there Is a charm about It that sort of dovetails Into all tastes, making It the dearest spot on earth for Idleness. Of course, a good pinch of salt goes with Idleness, Just to keep It. There are certain things which don’t count, things which have to be done —they are part and! parcel of life here. For instance, the dally exhibition of one’s self !n a carriage on the avenue In the afternoon, and the changing of one’s clothes before eaitih meal and three times between times. rifces# duttesiareap perfunctory as eating

The Few Woman By the Sea. Cape May tetter. The "new woman’’ is here. She is running things very much in her own sweet way this summer. My lady is ait the front of every social enterprise. Her word goes, and she is about all the public opinion there is at this summer resort. Then, too, she outnumbers the young men ten to one. In street, store, cars, carriages, drawing-rooms, on board yachts and everywhere people congregate dimity is In a large majority. Another danger threaten# the vanishing man—these women who are usurping hie ancient prerogatives are young and handsome, although mannish In drees and manner. These dear creatures splurge around without any malt escorts for the most of the time. They arc freckled and sun-burned, and can swim, float, drive, row. fish, sail, use slang and flirt, when they have a chance, which only comes around once a week, when the jaded men run down to stay over Sunday, disappearing Monday monv* Ing, leaving the field again to their wives andl sisters. The trials of the red-headed blonde at the seaside are severe If not many. One of them Is she can not tan like her darkskinned sisters of brunette type. The tender cuticle of the blonde burns red under the sunshine and eventually peels off, leaving the flesh redder than ever. Some of the arms one sees on the strand are spotted and ragged looking from the effects of sunburn stripping off the skin unevenly. But the brunette. She burns or tans a lovely dark brown or In some cases an Indian red. It settles deep into the cutis and stays there long after the summer society season is over. It Is said that Cape May sunshine produces the most delicate tan known to the devotees of seashore life. Its aristocratic tints are coveted by every girl on the strand who can attain them.

It Is the pride of Atl&ntlo City, and justly so, for no other place In the world possesses anything like It. It Is a public thoroughfare constantly jammed with a surging mass of humanity from the four corners of the globe—a plank walk, about thirty feet wide, protected on either side by railings, elevated on piles about ten feet above the sands of the shore and following the shore line for over five miles; one side open to the sea without any obstruction to spoil the view, with here and there a sheltered resting place; the other lined almost Its entire length with every kind of side show human mind can conceive. But it is In the crowd that promenades the thoroughfare that the most Interest lies. Of the 150,000 inhabitants of this place at this season of the year every individual can be seen on the board walk at some time during the day, to say nothing of the 15,000 or 20,000 people who come on the excursion trains to spend the day, who make a break /or the board walk the Instant they leave the train and remain there until lb is time for them to leave. \ No vehicles except <S>e omnipresent Invalid chair and baby‘buggies are permitted on this street, add woe be to the bicyclist who attempts to pass through It.

The mud baths of Marlenbad have slipped over to this coup try on a summer vacation. They have settled all along the coast, climbed up Into the mountains and dropped down to the dales, not forgetting to stop over at the country homes and Ut4

tie by-places.

What does it all mean? "Why, that the foreign Idea of getting beauty from dirt has traveled to America, and that the belles of the summer have fastened upon It with their pretty hands and have adopted It as their own. But about sand baths. They come down to the beach every day. and, selecting a smooth place on the sand, spread themselves out and take things comfortably. The game Is to sit as deep and as flat In the sand as possible without getting down where It is damp. The hotter the sand so much tha better. A broad shade hat protects the Syee and nose and the cheeks can take care of themselves. These girls wear tan leather gloves. * It Is advisable not to think at all during this operation, the two-hours’ sand bath, because the nerves need a rest and this absolute quiet Is called a nerve bath. The hot pure air from the sand drives away colds and pneumonias and the rest of mind and body gives a muscle bath on the line of relaxation. The only thing to be seen is the boats and the children at play upon an old wrecked craft An Anecdote of Seaaboro Life.

Philadelphia Times.

Some people find it great fun to wallow In the sand after a sea bath and bo covered up to the tips of their noses. It seems to me like an excellent method of catching cold, but worse than that happened to a young girl with whom I am acquainted. She had come dripping from the sea. and kind friends hollowed out a trench In the sand, and after she lay down ia It she was covered up until only her face was In sight. Then her friends went back to wrestle with old Neptune, and she reclined in a delicious, dreamy state. She dosed off for a few minutes and was aroused by a severe slap In the face. She screamed out, and as she did so she was dragged-to a sitting position by her hair, and a woman's voice shouted: ‘Tvs caught you, have I? Oh, you hussey!

By Jaa. R. Gilmore (Edmund Klrlce.) Copyrtgfct, 1W5. by S. 8. McClure. Limited. General Rosecrans was accustomed to say- that the scent was the eyes and ears of an army. Whenever one of his scouts returned to camp from an important trip he was required to report personally to him, and doubtless to this may bs : ferred the wonderful precision with which all his marches and campaigns were planned and executed. Through bis scouts h« was able to see, as with his own eyes, over the whole extent of any section of country in which, he was operating. With one of his scouts I was personally acquainted, and he was a pian in many ways so remarkable that had he received even the common rudiments of book education be could scarcely have failed to acquire distinction in the civil troubles then upon the country. I met him first at his borne among the mountains of Tennessee In the autumn of 1850. Going through that country on horseback I was one afternoon overtaken by a storm, and sought shelter at his house for the night. It was one of the better class of backwoods dwellings—what Is termed a double-barreled cabin—a log house with two rooms on the ground floor, separated by an open passageway. It was simply, but comfortably furnished, and everything about It indicated that he was, in the phrase of the country, "right well forehanded." - His family consisted of bis wife and three neatly clpd children, the oldest about eight years, of age. Ills 'wife was a comely young woman, who could read and write, and had very thoroughly studied the half-dozen volumes that composed the family library. He could himself neither read nor write. ‘‘You see. stranger,” he said to me, "Sally has all the lamin’ of the fambly, »o, she says par, instead of diad, which Is tha natural

way.”

His Start la Life.

I soon discovered that he was an original character, with a talent for humorous— and also fictitious—anecdote that I never knew equaled. He regaled me with his stories till part midnight, and in the course of the evening gave me something of his history, which I will repeat nearly In his own words, as soon afterward I took them down in my note book. He was bom on a farm not far away, and worked for his father until the day he was twenty-one, when he said: "Dad axed me out ter. the bam, an* toterin out a mule-brute as had been in the fambly ever bense Adam warn’t no higher nor little Sally, he bw ter me, sea he: ‘Thar, Bible, thar’s my last will and testament.

Well.

How Bible “Fit” Clingmnn.

=, Many of Bible’s anecdotfes were worth* of record, but I have space for bqt one of them, which was in regard to Thomas L. Cllngman, the godfather of "Clingman’s Peak," and long a member of both the Union and Confederate Congresses. "Go," said Bible, “ye never yeard how I fit Cllngman, that big Whig chap, over thar In western North Carolina. Well, It was just afore the last eleotion, when ye put in old Zack for President. The Whigs they had a big barbecue down ter Jonesboro, an’ Cllngman an’ a whole lot of ’em went inter speechifyln’ ter kill. In the course of Cllngman's speech, he said that Cass, our candidate, was a niggertrader down in NeWbera way (there was one of that name at Newbera at that time), an’ was In jail for passln’ counteriit money, an’ if we 'lected him we’d, nev ter bail him out tar aougerate him. I couldn’t stand thet nohow, so I right up in meetin’ an* tailed Cllngman he lied like blazes. Well, Tie stopped short ter

once an’ axed me fur my redress."

“Address,” said his wife, pausing la her

work and looking pleasantly at me. •

"Thet’a so, flally," responded Bihla “I tolled ye. stranger. Bally has aU tha lamin’ of the family. I guv Cllngman my name,.and where I hung out, an’ Shore enough, just arter dark, a feller rode up

here with a challenge."

Bible accepted, and as the challenged person had the choice of weapons,he chose *,‘swords, mounted," at “sun-up” the next morning. “I had," he said, r, a dreadful smart ox-bruts that I’se raised up for my private rldln’. The brute he don't like a spur, an" when ye puts one inter him, he’ll pitch headforemost inter the fust thing he comes ter, be it man or beast. In the morning I tuck but the cow-horn—ye'd think Gabriel war a-soundln’ the last trump when I blows R—got out ther oxbrute, tied a red tag ter his horns, put on him my wife’s best klverlet fur a saddle, an' moseyed off ter t 1 -- -*——-—-*

fight State Well,

the man as has cheek enough to kiss another man’s wife afore his very face, can git any office in this part of the kentry." I saw nothing more of Bible till thirteen years later, when, soon after the battle at Stone River, I was on a Visit to General Rosecrans at Murfreesborough, Tenn., where I found him acting as a scout in the Union army. His cool bravery'. Intimate knowledge of the country and acquaintance with the loyal men of the district, had enabled him to be of great service: and the many thrilling experiences he related to me would fill a volume. I can repeat only so much as will serve as a brief epitome of his subsequent history. At the outset of the secession agitation Bible declared for the Union: he said he believed "In free schools, free speech and free air for all of God’s critters," and In the spring of 1861, when there were no Union troops south of the Ohio, and the disunion fever was reigning furiously all over Tennessee; ne organized 106 of his neighbors into a company of home-guards, pledged to resist all attacks on the person or property of any of the number. Bible was elected to the command of this company, and it secured his district immunityfrom the Confederate conscription till about the time that Rosecrans assumed command of the army of the Cumberland. Shortly before this Bible, taken unawares when at home with his family, was captured by the Confederates. The remainder I will let him relate in h!s own language as I took It down soon after he repeated It to me: In the Hands of the Confederates. "They tied me hand and foot," he said, "and toted me off to the military commission sittln’ ter Chattanooga. I know’d whit that meant—a short prayer, a long rope, and a breakdown danced on the top of nothing. Better men nur me had gone thet way ter the kingdom—seven of ’em within a month—but 1 determined I wouldn’t go if I could help It—not that I objected to the Journey, only to goln* afore of Sally. Ye see, I hadn't been nigh so good a man as I’d orter be, and I reckoned that Sally—who, ye know, ar' the best woman that ever lived—I reckoned that she, If she got there a little ahead of me. could sort of put In a good word with the Lord, an’ get Him to shut his eyes ter a heap of my doin’s; an’ sides, I’d feel mighty strange like up thar without her. "Well, we got to Chattanooga Just arter noon nf the second day’s tramp. The commission they had too many on hand to look arter ms to onct, so they put me into a tent under guard of a whole Georgy regiment. Things looked mazing squally, and much as I determined ter be a man, my heart went down inter my boots whenever I thought of £ally. I never felt so afore or since, for then I hadn’t got used ter luckin' at the gallua every day. I didn’t know what to do, but Chinkin’ the Lord did, I kneeled down and prayed ter Him right smart. I tolled Him I had no face tor meet Him afore I’d done suthin’ for the kentry, and that Bally’s heart would be clean broke If I went afore her; but, howsumsver, I said He know’d best, an’ If it was His will I had Just nothing to say agin It. That was all I s tid. but I said It over and over a heap of times, and it was right dark when I got off frum my knees. The Lord yered me, that ar' sartln’, case I hadn’t more’n got through prayin' ’fore a dirty grayback, drunker’n a member of Congress, staggered Inter the tent. I reckon he thought It war his own; fur he dropped down enter the ground, an' went to sleep, axin’ nuther leave nur license. “Then all ter onct It come inter my head what ter do’’—which was to cut his cords with the Confederate boWle knife, change coat and hat with the unconscious fellow, and thus disguised escape from the encampment. This he did, and after many adventures and halibreadth escapes he reached tha mountain and looked upofi

his home.

A Pathetic Return Homs.

"I got to the edge of the woods,” he ■aid, "on the hill ahind of my bam, about a hour by sun; but I daren’t go down, fur, ys knows, the house stood in a clearin’, an’ some of the varmints might bs a watchln’ fur me. So I lay thar till it was clear dark; then drept ter the rear door and listened. An’ what do ye s’pose I yered? Sally a prayin’, an’ prayin’ fur me, so earnest and so tender like that I sot down on the doorstep

and cried like a child. v I did."

- He paused for a few moments, while something In his throat choked his utterance. When he went on he said: "She tolled the Lord how much I was to her; how she’d loves me ever since tor make me love Him; how she know’d more ner she loved father or mother, or even, the children; how she had tried ter make me love Him; how she know’d that way down in my heart I did love Him. Then she said she couldn’t bear to hav me hung up

I never met him again, and in a few months he was shot down by the Confederates. He entered the dark valley alone, and Sally was not there to meet him, ana yet, can we doubt that one was there to say a good word for him, with the Lord, and that he was warmly welcomed by the grand company of great and good men, who, like him, had laid down their lives for human freedom.

The latest reading In lamp regulations precludes any trimming, but instead a scraping off of the charred wick with a visiting card, and a clipping then of any loose strings that may remain.

TREASURES IN SEA SAND.

GOLD AND GEMS THE WAVES WASH ON THE PACIFIC BEACH.

Tha** S**d* Yield Platinum and Iridium and Osmium and Other Owrtoslttee As Well As the Tnllow Scales—Other Gems.

Washington Cor. Philadelphia Time* The metallic treasures of the eea beaches of Oregon have Just been made a subject of Investigation by the Geological Survey. Two experts—H. V. WincheB and y, p. Sharpies#—were sent thr** months ago to explore these wonderful sands, concerning the possibilities of which as a source of wealth there has been much epeculation. They contain not only gold, but also considerable quantities of platinum, as well as other rare and precious metals. So rich are they to rubies and garnets os to be actually red in places from the presence of those gems. In one spot there are at least 60,000 tons of sand that holds 2 to 6 per cent of garnets and ruble* In remarkably perfect and beautiful crystals. The experts report that. In their opinion, the gold and platinum might be extracted profitably from these beaches, while the rubies and garnets would be valuable in the manufacture of emery wheels. The sands of the seashore are rich (n grid all along the Pacific coast from Print Mendocino, In Northern California, to the mouth of the Umpogna river, In Oregon. Cliffs on the ocean front commonly contain gold, and where washed by the waves, the shore for miles actually glitters with speckles of the yellow metal. What appears to-day, however, is either washed away or deeply buried tomorrow. Many attempts have been made to extract the precious stuff from the sands, but, as a rule, they have been unprofitable. The metal-bearing strata are spjpe distance below the surface, and the overlying material la apt to be washed back by the sea as fast as It 19 removed. In a few places such work ta carried on at Intervals, and each year these beaches contribute something to the world's store of gold. Imbedded Tranks of Trees. The locality upon which Messrs. Sharpless and Winchell bestowed their chief attention was near the mouth of the Coquille river, in the southwestern part of Oregon. The tract here explored extends along the eea coast for two miles and runs about an equal distance inland. Digging discloses the fact that the sands are divided into well-defined layers and in them are buried many trunks and •tumps of trees, some of them of the gigantic redwood. Naturally, the metals, being heavy, occur in the deeper strati. Grid and platinum are found mostly In a layer of black sand, which varies in thickness from a few Inches to twelve feet. On top of the black sand Is a stratum of gray sand, which is not so rich. The gold In these sands occurs in the shape of minute scales. These yellow flakes are so extremely small and thin that frequently they will float In water, on account of minute bubbles which collect upon them. Borne of them are almost microscopic and often they have the form cups or basins. Here has been a fltiltful cause of disappointment to miners. When a prospector under ordinary circumstances finds twenty or thirty specks of told In his pan he assumes that the material will yield at least $2 or $3 to the cubic yard. These seabeach scales are aa very thin that the average value of 600 "colors” is only one cent It is a remarkably large "color” or scale that measures an eighth of an inch In diameter. A good deal of platinum Is found associated with the gold In the Pacific beach sands. At present market rates it is worth $6 an ounce. A couple of years ago & big syndicate bought up the entire visible supply of this metal, actually setting out to' purchase all the scrap platinum existing In the world. But there was more of the latter than had been counted upon, so It was found Impossible to control the market. This speculation carried the price of the substance up to 118 an ounce—a circumstance very annoying to scientific men, who use it for instruments of precision and especially for chemical apparatus, inasmuch as It will stand the fire of the blowpipe and does not corrode. Electricians also utilise quantities of platinum —an inch of wire for each incandescent lamp, in connection with telegraphic instruments and in every place where the passage bf a spark creates ozone to oxldlze the metal points It passes between. Platinlim Found. Messrs. Winchell and Sharpless express the opinion that platinum could be extracted from the sands at the mouth of the Coquille river at a profit. It Is found on the Pacifio coast wherever gold occurs, though Its distribution is not uniform, much being discovered In some places and very little to others. Samples submitted to test yielded two ounces of platinum to the ton of sand, which Is enough to pay.. Four-fifths of the platinum that supplies the world. Is obtained* from twb mines In the Urol mountains, to Slberifu They are gold mines, the platinum being a by-product. Both metals are got from “placer" deposits, being found mingled with the sands that have been worn away from the hills by running water. Twenty-nine hundred cartloads of earth must be washed to yield fifteen pounds of platinum. Nuggets ore very rare, the biggest on record being now In the Dresden museum. It is about as big as a tumbler. Samples of sand essayed by the two experts yielded small quantities of those rare metals, iridium end osmium, but It is very doubtful whether they could be extracted profitably. Iridium is now quoted in the market at m an ounce, and osmi-

um at 860 an ounce. The latter, it will b* observed. Is nearly three times as precious as grid. Iridium and platinum are the only metals that are heavier than gold. The former is utilised to some extent for making scientific instruments, not betog susceptible to corrosion. In the beach sands described are found considerable quantities of a very extraordinary white metal, or rather mixture of metals. This natural alloy, known as Trldosmium,” is composed of Iridium, osmium, rhdoium, platinum and ruthenium. Rhodium, by the way, Is quoted at 8112 an ounce; but it Is by no means the most precious of metals, gallium being worth *3,000 an ounce. These metals are mere laboratory curiosities, however; the prices are nominal. Inasmuch as there is almost no market for them. The only important use for Iridorium is In tipping gold pens. It is employed in this way because ft resists acids. For the purpose mentioned the grains of it. which are flat like gold dust, are picked out from the sand with magnifying glasses.
