SU3IMER HOTEL LIFE.

PLEASANT ENOUGH WHEN PEOPLE BEHAVE IN FAMILY FASHION.

Good Children and Bad—An lU-Mmn-nered Gaest—A 1U re Example of Blodern Humanity—An Old Iady'i

HIitekM—Civilization.

[Cor. New York Journal of Commerce.] A hotel, filled with summer guests, is a great community, and can only be pleasant as ite people behave in family fashion. There is no need of mutual acquaintance. But every one should regard himself or herself as in a family to the extent of doing nothing which can in any way disturb another.

Men and women who, in visiting at a private bouse, would never dream of loud shouting and laughing at late hours of tho night, should not forget that such noise is as great a violation of propriety in a hotel as In a private city or country residence. No one but a boor would stamp about the floor of a room in the night or the early morning, in the house of a friend, but thousands of man shake the floors of hotels in this way, utterly regardless of visitors under and •round them.

Mother* generally know enough to win admiration for their children in private circle1 but few mothers know that their children are called nuisances and themselves regarded and spoken of as ignorant and uncivilisad when in hotels they permit their rampant offspring to play in the halls and corridor* while other persons desire to sleep. There is no more charming picture in summer travel than that of a family of children couducted by mother who knows .how to travel with them and how to rest with thorn in hotels. Such children look with 'Wondormont on the barbarian behavior of children of the other kind. I saw the other day, in a parlor-car, a little boy and girl, plainly and comfortably dreased for travel, quiot and gentle in their ways, who afforded a marvelous contrast to auother boy and girl on tha opposite Bide of tho carriage. Thera was not a passenger in tho car who failed b*3 annoyed by tho latter pair, whose father and mother appeared to imagine that all ward admiring them. The wide opan oyes of tho civilized children now and then attestod their astonishment at the exixtonoe ot such creature? an the two uncivilized nionkoy.'.

On the piazza of one of the large northern hotoU a few days ago, a gentleman was complaining in a loud voice of the noise mode by the arriving and departing railway trains which kept him awake in the night Ho was quite right There is no more widespread nuisance than the engine whistle, which murders sleep and doubtless killu hundreds of feeble and sick pontons every yoar. Railroads make ten times as much noiso everywhere as is nece^ary to their oporation. But thi-t same gentleman had a room adjoining mine iu the hotel and made a noise with his boot* and his trunk and his bathing processes at a' ut 11 o'clock at night and 7 o'clock in tho morning which, in three or four adjoining rooms, was Ttry milflh ltllrttr railway whistling. He kopt at least six person* awake when they had right to a quiet time.

The other day we found a rare example 6t modern humanity, a person who had evidently never before been in a hotel, and was an utter stranger to hotel Ufo and manners and customs. A lady of our party wa* leaving her room when, from a room near by, sho saw coming out a neat, nioe old lady, drossoi in antiquated and, therefore, modem stylo. It wai after 7 o'clock in tho evening. "Have they set the table yet!" said tho old lady in a thin little voice, addressing (he younger lady. "What do you monnT Is it the supper table you arc* asking about?" "Yea, I thought it wus time they had the table set for I aiu.real suppery." "Oh, ye, supper has beeu ready more thnn an hour." "Well, they hain't called me." "No, they don't call IM to supper. They have it ready at ti o'clock, and leave us to come when wo please. Do you know tho way to the supper-roomf "No, I mil sure 1 don't I never was here before."

The mom experienced traveler kindly led tho old lady down stain and showed her the door of tho lor^o dining-room, where she wa doubtless cared for. She met her again half hour later wandering in the halL "Will you come out on the piaxsa and sit awhile f" "Come on the whatf' "Come out on the stoopf "No, 1 guess not It's time to go to bed. Til go to bed but I don't know where my room is." "What's tho number of your rooml" "The number of ray roomP "Yes, the number of the room they gave jou." "Do they put numbers on their roomsf I jaever heard of such a thing." "Let me see your key. The number is on tho key." "Tho key cf my bol-room "Yen didu't you lock your room when you came downf "Lock my bed-room! 1 never locked my bed-room in all my life." "Well. I think I know the door yon oame out from. I will show yon your room."

So the old lady wa led up to her room, ami as sho went In said, "I suppose they'll call mo." "Are you going away in the morning "Yes I'm going at o'clock."1 "Did you toll tbemf* -Tell them!

"What o8k»f the ponofficef* •No. the hotel office* -Whsrs's the hotel office! Do they have an officer*

This hi a varbatim report ot part* of tbe ooovemtioo, which abounded in evidences that this wa* the Bret experience of hotel life which the old lady had erw had. And she wts a lady.

ENGLISH SOCIETY.

SOCIAL RECOGNITION OF WELL-BRED AMERICANS IN ENGLAND.

Two or Three Bolee To Be Observed— Avoid Anything Like Soddra Intimacy

1The

Matter of Introductions— Disagreeable People. iiissy

{Harper's Bazar.]

But tbe question of how to treat English people has many another phase than that of mere title, as we look at it from an American point of view.

When we visit England we take rank with the highest, and can well afford to address the queen as "Ma'am." In fact, we are expected to do so. A well-bred, well-edu-cated, well-introduced American has the highest position in the social seals. He may not go in to dinner with a duchess, but be is generally very well placed. As for a well-bred, handsome woman, there is no end to the privileges of her position in England, if she observes two or three rules. She bhould not effuse too much, nor be too generous of titles, nor should she fail of the neceesary courtesy due always from guest to hiwr-f'P'. She should have herself presented at court by ber minister or by some distinguished friend, if she wishes to enter fashionable society. Then she has the privilege of attending any subsequent drawingroom, and is eligible to invitations to the court balls and royal concerts, etc.

American women have succeeded wonderfully of late years in all foreign society from their beauty, their wit and thqir originality. From this somewhat perilous admiration of the prince of Wales and other royal highnesses for American beauties, there has grown up, howover, a rather presumptuous boldness in some women, which has rather speedily brought them into trouble, and therefore it may be advisable that even a witty and very pretty woman should bold herself in caeck in England.

English peoplo are very kind in illness, grief, or anything which is inevitable, but they are speedily chilled l?y any step toward a too sudden intimacy. They resent anything like "pushing" more than any other people in the world. In no country has intelloct, reading, cultivation, and knowledge such "success" as in England. If a lady, especially, can talk well, she is invited everywhere. If she can dj anything to amuso the company—as to sing well, tell fortunes bv the hand, recite, or play In charades or private theatricals—she is almost sure of tho highest social recognition. She is expected to dress well, and Americans are sure to do this. The excess of dressing too much is to be discouraged. It iR far better to 1 too plain than too fine in England, as, indeed, it is everywhere an over-dressed woman is undeniably vulgar in any country.

If we could learn to treat English people as they treat us in the matter of introductions, it would be a great advance. The English regard a letter of introduction as a sacred institution and an obligation which can not be disregarded. If a lady takes a letter to Sir John Bowring, and he has illnoss in his family and can not ask her to dinner, he comes to call on her, he sends her tickets for every sort of flower show, tbe museums, the botanical garden, and all tbe fine things he sends her his carriuge. He evidently has her on hia mind. Sir Frederick Loighton, tbe most courted, the busiest man in London, if really so kind, so attentive, so assiduous in his response to letters of introduction that one hesitates to present a letter for fear of intruding on his industrious and valuable life.

Of course there are disagreeable English people, and there is an animal known as the English snob, than which there is no Tasmanian devil more disagreeable. Travelers everywhere have met this variety, and one would think that formerly it must have been more common than it is now. There are also English families who have a continental, oue might say a cosmopolitan, reputation for disagreaabillty, as we have some American families, well-known to history, who have an almost patrician and hereditary claim to the worst manners in the universe. Well-born bears are known all over the world, but they are in the minority. It ia almost a sure sign of base and ignoble blood to be badly mannered. And if the American visitor treats his English host half as well as the host treats him, he may feel aseurod tbat the entente oordiale will soon be perfect

One need not treat tip average Englishman either with a too effusive cordiality or with that half-contemptuoui fear ot being uiubbe 1 which is of all things the most disagreeable. A -ort of "chip on the shoulder" spread-«agleiiu formerly made a class ol Americans unpopular now Americans are in favor in England, and are treated most cordially.

Cotton Growing Along tbe Georgia Coast Atlanta Constitution.] There is a fact connected with the cotton growing in this state, which will probably surprise many ot those who have not visited tfa is section. Tbe impression is very general that tho countios along the Georgia coast are planted heavily in cotten and are among the great cotton producing counties of tbe state. You will probably be surprised to know that there is not ten bales of ootton grown between St Marys and Savannah, and that on all the islands along the coast, and in perhaps twenty counties in this section. it is as scarce as are orange trees in Fulton county.

A great change has taken place in this respect since the war, before which the coast counties, and particularly the islands, were celebrated for their magnificent yield ot sea bland cotton. A wealthy planter, whose father before tbe war planted several islands of thh staple, and who now manages these vast plantations, remarked jest rday tbat there had been a wonderful change since tho war, and tbat now not a bale was rai«ed on his lands. "What was the total sea island yield before the warr ''About 30,000 bales. None of the short staple was grown at ail. Of the whole amount Georgia then supplied about 10,000 bales. Sooth Carolina about 15,030 and Florida about -VW. Now not a dossn bale* are grown in Georgia, bat little in Florida, and Carolina'* has dwindled to a few thousand.* "Wa* there any of tbe short stapfe then planted in what are now tbe pine lands!" "Oh, ye* thousand* of hale* But tinea the war the plantations have grown np in pine for«*i* and not a vr-*:|p is to be i««n of 1-* oaca magni nt jpbmUtkna."

SOMETHING FOR SCHOOL GIRLS.

When Massachusetts School Authorities Were Illiberal to the Fair Sex, [Mrs. Robinson ia Nebraska Item.]

In these days, when the girls have tbe same privilege of attendance in the public schools as the boys do, occasionally it is well to recall thi» fact, tbat our mothers had no such advantages. Fifty years ago, or thirty even, in Boston, which city boasts so much of its educational advantages, the girls were not allowed to attend any of the public schools excepting the primary. When the first high school for girls was opened in that city in 182b, there was such a great outcry against the innovation, and so many girls applied for admission that the scheme was abandoned, and it was not till 1858 that a girl's high sehool was established in Boston.

In Plymouth, Mass, where the Pilgrim fathers and mothers first landed, when the question whether girls should receive any public instruction first came np in town meeting there was great opposition. One gentleman opposed it, because he was afraid if his girls were taught they would correct his spelling! The town, however, voted to give the girls one hour's Instruction daily. In Concord, Mass., where Mr. Emerson and Hawthorne and Tborean lived, and where Mr. Scott and Professor W. T. Harris still live, the authorities were not much more liberal at that time with regard to educating girls.

I was in Concord, the other day, and a friend showed me a copy of some resolutions passed by the school committee of tbat town in 1&36. They have never been published, I believe, and I will copy one relating to girls, for the benefit of those who read this department so tbat many a town in Ne braska can say to old Concord in Massachusetts, "We are much more liberal to our school girls than you were at the same age of your existence—and long after, too."

It seems that the Concord school committee had a meeting for the purpose of revising the school regulations, and this is what they offered for the girls: "Resolution 4 From the first day of December to the first day of April, no misses under 10 years of age shall attend school in the center of the town, nor any over the age of 10 years where there are forty male scholars attending school. •[Signed] "EZRA RIPLEY, Chairman. "Concord, Oct 23,1836."

Grant's First Fight.

I History of Clermont County, O.] When Grant was very young he attended school with his cousin John, a Canadian, who had boen sent over to the United States to be educated. Tho two boys wore warm friends, but John had inherited prejudices against our country which at times he could not restrain, and his language often gave offense to young Grant

One day they were talking about George Washington, when John said: "It appears to me, Ulysses, you think a great deal too much of Washington." "And why shouldn't I think well of himf' replied the tanner boy. "He i? the father of my country, and was raised up by the Almighty to lead the people to independence." "All very fine," retorted John, "but he was a traitor to his king, nevertheless." "A what?" asked Ulysses, rising to his feet. "A traitor and a rebel," said tho Canadian. "John," calmly replied Ulysses, "how should you lika to have your sovereign called such names!" s-.~ "Why, of cours3, I should not liks^if," Implied John. "Then." said young Grant, "1st me tell you I will not allow you or any om else hs insult the memory of George Washington." "Well, what are you going to do about it!" said John, with a sneer. "I shall resent it, ai I have a right to da You may take advantage of me, for you are older and bigger than I am. My mother told me not to quarrei with schoolmates, and I mean to mind her, and not attack them on my own account but when Washington is assailed, and especially by an English boy, I shall defend the father of my country. Cousin or no cousin, John, you have got to take that back or fight"

John would not retract, and so, taking off their coats, at it they went John was tho stronger and force! Ulysses down, but young Grant hung on, and finally turning John, hit him a blow on the nose which completely blinded him.

After a hard fight John finally had to cry out "Enough 1" But Grant would not let him up until he hai not only retracted bis offensive language, but promised never again while on American soil to spoak ill of George Washmgton.

This was Grant's first battle for his country, and it was indicative of bis future illustrious career as a man and a soldier.

A Russian, who had been going about New Haven, Conn., soliciting alms on the strength of a badly swollen hand, which be told people was caused by rheumatism, was arrested a few days ago. At the hearing it was developed that the culprit was not afflicted with rheumatism at all, but bad tied tightly a bandage around bis arm, near the elbow, so as to maka tbe blood settle in his hand and produce the swelling, A German fresent at tbe bearing said it was a regular trick of ordinary beggars in European cities.

A Large Tortoise.

Mr. Charles Frederick Holder has writ:en a paper for the last St Nicholas about •he great turtle3 that used to be found in Australia and India. A few years ago a party of gentlemen were exploring in Inlia, when they struck upon something iway down in the sand that seemed to be hut It had a dome-shaped top, and was aollow. The natives said it must have Men a house built by some of their ancestors so long ago that it had been forgottsn, ind bad sunk into the earth, as all objects io, after many years But when the sand was cleared away from it, the strange hut proved to be a monstrous tortoise shell Several men crawled into it, and found it quite large enough for them to live in all together. The top of it was nearly as high as the head of a man on horsjhack. The great creature that had inhabited it had been dead perhap3 500,000 years, ages before man came upon tbe earth. And now man find3 it? shall, ai the only trace that 't ever did live. This giant was the ancejior of the quaint little tortoise that scurries ver the ground in America.

GREAT TURTLE OF THE GALAFAOOB ISLANDS. These tortoises belonged to what is called the saurian age. Some of the shells have been restored, and have had plaster heads and feet put to them, and been painted the proper color, so that the animals seem quite natural They are to be seen in the British museum in London. Seme day perhapi you will go there and see them. They are really scary looking.

The buga turtle represented in the picture belongs to a species that is living today in the Galapagos islands. Look on the map and find where these islands are. Inthe Galapagos islands Mr. Holder says travelers notice a net work of' paths and trails. They are the tracks of the big tortoisM^ iSome of them weigh 600 or 700 ponnls. From head to tail they are som times twelve feet long, with shells half 03 long. If the traveler go near one of them it will dart iu its head and lesrs, and tumble flat. As it does so it givei a loud hi' like a serpent Charle3 Darwin, the great naturalist, climbed upon the back of one of them and took a ride.

Curious Old New Jersey. 1

The natives are not the only strange things in Cape May county, writes a Cape May Uity correspondent to the New York Sun. It has been a peculiar land ever since Capt. Mey first set foot on its point, long before New England was fairly started. At one time all the county was owned by a man named Cox, who got tired of his bargain and returned to England, leaving an agent at Perth Amboy to attend to his interests. Quakers had purchased a large part of the land and settled upon it. They wished to -secure the rest to be held as common property for each community. One of the brothers named Spicer was deputed to go to Amboy and make the purchase. Spicer made tho long trip and returned safely, but with the deed made out in his own name instead of in that of the communities. It was subsequently discovered that Spicer had got Cox's agent drunk, and had then induced him to sell the laud to himself for a trifling consideration.

When Spicer died, he left much of tho land that remained unsold to the churches in the three townships. He also bequeathed to the people of the county, to be enjoyed in common forever, the

4'shell

and floating lisli privi­

leges"—that is, the right to lish and catch oysters and clams in the waters of the county. Although the state long since laid successful claim to the ownership of all these lauds under tidewater, it has by successive acts of the legislature guaranteed to tho people of the county for various terms of years the rights" granted by the Spicer will.

A large part of the land in the county is now held under deeds from this Spicer, and even to this day many persons refuse to recognize the right of tho state to tidewater running through their lands, and eaunot understand how their titles under deeds dated loug before the state was created can be set aside. The

heirs" still maintain an organ­

ization, and meet annually to regulato the affairs of that part of the estate tho title to which is in them, although the use of it was willed away or has since been purchased.

In olden times Cape Mey, now become Cape May. was expected to be a great whale-fishing center. Whales then moved iu large schools within sight of the beaoli. To eneoursgo the fisheries, "whalesmen's rights" vere granted to the crews of thelioats. The chief of these was the privilege of using, free of rental, plots of laud along the beach upon which to build boathouses and other structures necessary to the business, in order that no time might be lost in getting the boats to sea when a school appeared. The whales were quickly driven to more remote waters, but the ••whalesmen's rights" remained, and as, for convenience, the roads of the villages had generally been run to the beach beside the whalesmen's boat-house, the "rights" became, in the joursc of a century, valuable beachfront. coruer lots in a summer resort. The last of them,was not extinguished until a few years ago, when it was necessary to search all over the country for the heirs of the old whaleboat and secure releases from them ancient "rights" before a tjood could be given to purchasers ot the laud.

HOT THE D0B8ET OF "SOAP" FAME.

Nearly every one who travels on the boats of the Louisville and JefFersonville Ferry Company is acquainted with Mr. J. C. Dorsey, the superintendent of the company, to whom much of its success is due. Mr. Dorsey has a pleasant family and a comfortable home on Wall St. near Chestnut, Jeffersonville, Ind., the happiness of which, however, has been somewhat disturbed by sickness. Mrs. Dorsey has been a severe sufferer from rheumatism, and neuralgia in the face has at times made Mr. Dorsey's life a burden. They are both in the best of health, however, and attribute this to Athlophoros, a remedy which has done for them all that is claimed for it in the matter of curing rheumatism and neuralgia. The story of how they were restored to health by this wonderful medicine was thus told by Mrs. Dorsey to one who called upon her to learn her experience and that of ker husband with Athlophoros:

I was afflicted with a very serious rheumatism last winter. It was principally in the arms, and I was suffering the most intense pain one Saturday evening when my husband came home. I said to him:

I don't see how I can endure this pain much longer. It seems as if it were eating my bones.'

Well, never mind," said my husband, I have a bottle of the King cure," at the same time bringing forth a Dottle of Athlophoros. I took my first dose at once. That was about six o'clock. In less thnn two hours the paiu was very much reduced, and I felt comfortable in comparison with the suffering I had endured. I had such quick relief from tho first dose that I got in a hurry and did not wait three lioure as I should have according to the directions, but took the second dose at the end of two hours. The medicine was so powerful that it made me quite sick all tne next day, but as soon as the bad feelings were gone I found that niv rheumatism had gone with them, and 1 have never had any rheumatic pain since."

IIow long ago was this, Mrs. Dorsey?" It was the middle of last winter." How did you first hear about Athlophoros

It. was by accident I might say, that I first heard of it. Whilo I was afllicted bv rheumatism my husband was suffering with neuralgia in his face, which had become very much swollen. On the morning of the Saturday which I have mentioned, Mr. Tvler, of Utica, was crossing on tho ferryboat and noticed that Mr. Dorsey's face was swollen. Mr. Tyler asking him what the trouble was, my husband told him that it was neuralgia. Mr. Tyler then said:

I know of a valuable medicino that will euro you. If it doesn't, why then I will pay for it.'

He then mentioned Athlophoros to my husband, who took down the name and on his way homo stopped at a store and bought some. At the time he did not think ot it ns a remedy for my rheumptism, but seeing by tho printed directions that it was for rheumatism as well as for neuralgia, he offered it to mo when he came in and found me in so much pain."

Did it cure Mr. Dorsey's neuralgia?"was asked. Yes, the pain and swelling soon left, and lie lias not been troubled with them, since."
