; A "Fall Dregs" Story
* The New York correspondent of the
Londoki ,Spectator tells' 'the ' following .
'Pleamuit tae: The saMe womanwill be at
the opera on one evening in full dress private box, and' if, she don't oWn
Iciox,, at the' next ;performance in the
"slalls - orthe parquet, - with 'arms, shoul
ders and head all covered. A lady whom
I knew had rather an unpleasant , ex-,
perience in an attempt some.years ago to
disregard the tacit understanding among
the sex in . regard to dinner dress at
hotels. She belonged to an ultra-fashion
able set, and having married a South
Carolina planter, soon adopted •what we
call "plantation manners," and affected
no little scorn of simple mannerec4 re
served New England folk. She was at.
Newport, our great seaside wateiing-,
place, and having just returned from
Europe, took great airs' upon herself.
One evening at the tea-table, a gentle
man sat down near her, and the butter
,plate before him happened to have no
butter -knife by it at the moment, he,
instead 'of calling the waiter and waiting
for one to be brought, used his owniper
fectly fresh bright knife to take a bit of
butter. He was a man' of culture ;and
social standing, but a Yankee, and one
whose social pretension she wished to
flout. - She seized the opportunity, and
called a waiter, said in an elaborately
subdued, but decided tone, "Take away
that butter. That gentleman has had
his knife. in He took no notice
of 'the remark, which drew
,eyes,,. upon him and upon the
lady; ''`but by and by she
stretched out her hand and took from
the plate some chipped dried beef, which
stood between her and her victim. This
was well enough, of course; but he
'turned at once ' and calling a waiter,
said, only. as if he was asking for more
tea, "Take away that dried beef, this
lady has had her fingers in it." In this
encounter, such as it was, he was
thonght to have had the best of it, and
she did not forgive or forget. So a few
days afterwards (I should have men
tioned that there was the slightest pos
sible acquaintance between them), they
being at dinner, she conspicuous in the
full dress she had adopted since her
tour to Europe, and which was so very
"full" that it would have attracted at
tention under any circumstances, took
one from a dish of fresh figs before her
and putting it on a plate, handed it to
him with an expression of complaisance,
but saying in a tone of unmistakable
significance, which could be heard all
around her, "A fig for you, sir." He
accepted it graciously, and taking in his
turn a leal* from the garniture of the dish
offered it to her, with "A fig-leaf for
you, Madam.", She fled the table, and
kept her room until her intended victim
left the hotel. It Whs generally agreed
that he had done what a gentleman
would shrink from doing; but the pro
vocation was such that he was held
guiltless of offence, and applauded for
his wit, and nobody, except perhaps a
few of her slaveholding friends, pitied
her. This is the last instance that I
know of, of a lady's appearance in full
dress at a public table. But lam told
that within the last three or four years
it is coming more in fashion among the
t e . "fastest" sets at the height of the,
s e ason at Saratoga,and one or two others
of our gayest watering places.
SKATING EXPEREENCES.-A sufferer
1 who has been on the ice thus describes
his tribulations after getting his skates
on: I arose from my bended position and
struck out. At this moment a voice
from among the outside observers saluted
my ears with—"Gee-whit-li-kins ! there
goes a big thing on ice." Simultaneously,
I saluted the ice in a sitting posture. I
didn't see stars until I arose,
when I
observed a constellation transfixed in
the ice where I made my debut. Re
• gaining my equilibrium I essayed a
'sweeping glance—when a voice from
the outside called out "Hello, mister,
ain't you insured ?" ], however, was
not sure of anything just then, for one
of my skates started forward and the
other backward, and in an endeavor
to collect my feet together I again sat
down, executing a few efforts at ground
and lofty tumbling. One dear, sweet ;
girl exclaimed, just loud enough for me
to hear, "Why, the poor fellow will
break his neck if some one don't help
him."
Nature, in forming man, must have
had an eye to the- consequences that
befall one just learning to skate. My
neck was not injured or bruised. The
contusion was not far off the lower ter n.
minus of the spinal column. Several of
the ladies looked sympathizingly at me
as they swiftly and gracefully glided past
me—and the outside observers increased
in numbers and impudence. I again
assumed the attitude of God's noblest
work—man—and just as I did so, a voice
came screaming over the fence—"Ho,
you !—Going to the falls?" Of course my
feelings were hurt--but, smothering my
indignation, I essayed another effort in
the gliding art, but through an accident
—very natural and common with begin
ners—the toe of one of my skates be
came attached to a strap on the other,
and momentarily losing my balance my
for - ward movement received additional
impetus, and grasping wildly at the air,
I resolved to rest awhile. The blood ran
!rpm my mouth and nose, for both came
in contact with the glassy surface, pro
ducing additional contusions. At this
instant Jenkins whizzed past me, hum
ming—
"There's fun upon the ice, boys.
With charming nice young girls."
I again arose—after stopping the he-
Morrhages— smilingly, but somewhat
"groggy," as they say in the London P.
R. Looking at myself,l discovered that
in my efforts to rest a while my pants
had caught on the ice, tearing a rent in
them in'a delicate place.
THE GREATt CENTRAL STATES.- A.
'census taken in Illinois last 'year has
just been footed up, and shows a total
population reaching 2,250,000. On the
strength of this some Chicago papers are
' calculating that in 1870 it will be the
third State in the Union. Statements
based.on these intermediate enumeca
tions are very unjust to the States with
which comparison is made, and in this
case there is no ground for the belief
that Ohio has stood still while Illinois
has been going ahead. It would have,
been about as sensible to say that in
1880 Illinois will be the first, State in the
Union, since her rate of increase would
warrant the expectation. Ohio, like
Pellsylvania, took no census in 1805.
New York and Illinois did. New York
found to her surprise that she had not,
increased at all, while Illinois showed
over half a million more people than
she in 1860. This is very gratifying
for Illinois, but it affords no ground for
presuming that Ohio has`stood still and
TfiE DAILY . EV ENINGJ3ULIJETINpfimADELPIIIA; k.D.NESDA Y, ,
not prospered/a all.. In thia.:case r hoW . 7
ever, Ohio is treated in the same way,
that some of her ovion calculators undertobk, in 'lB5O, -to-- treat Pennsylvania:
They estimated their' State' nhead of us
after the same fashion, and*receiVed
credit, for it all over the' country, until
the census showed the utter hollowness
of the pretence. The remarkable de
velopment of Illinois by railroads has
produced her increase. But in Penn
syivaniathere are good reasons for be- .
lieving that there has not ben less pro'.
gress, and perhips much more. Since
18-50 the whole - north - western section: of
onr State has been alive with the devel
opment of the oil, coal , and iron regions,
and the building of, railroads has gone
on beyond on all precedent. In like
manner the vast coal and iron interests
in the rest of the State, but especially in
the east, have thriven. We do not, in
consequence of this, estimate that in
-1870 we will pass New York in the list
of States, though we might do so with
as much justice, as Illinois expects to
pass Ohio.—Pittsburgh Despatch.
