FUN, FACT & FANCY.
. A Yousg Ladt Takes a Bath. A corres
pondent of the Baltimore Republican gets out
the following : Th bathing house for ladies, J
at Cape May, is situated but a short distance
from that for gentlemen, and through the open
palings yon have faint glimpses of the Naiades
who, it the water is still, are by no means still
themselves, but keep up a perpetual squealing
and splashing which frighten the crabs and fish
fairly out to sea. Readers have, doubtless,
heard ot the Georgia uniform a shirt collar
and spurs. ' We saw a lady's dress of a simi
lar character, admirably adapted for bathing
purposes. This beautiful contrivance is a
skeleton dress composed of three hoops, fas
tened together at a distance of a foot apart by
tape strings, the upper rim or hoop coming up
to the waiBt of the wearer, and tho other hang
ing by tho strings at the distance below which
we have named. The young lady who wore
this comfortable apparel, had thrown over it a
light wrapper, which had been smoothed down
in front, but was gracefully looped up or
. lodged upon the upper hoop behind, present
- ing a cool and graceful drapery a la Venus or
the Greek Slave. Thns appareled our modern
Venus started for tho bathing house, the "ob
served of all observers." Some of the ladies
who lingered behind, not being sufficiently im
bued with a lore of the classic, sent after the
lady and brought her back, making her con
form rather more to modern notions. But the
incident called out a hearty gttflaw from the
unclassic males, and produced an extra amount
cf squealing in the ladies' bathing department
True. A writer in the Guernsey, Ohio,
Times says : "Should ever the colored man be
permitted to vote, the Locos will be the first
to hug tho negro round the neck, ask him for
his Tote, and drink his whiskey."
"When Milton was blind he was married to a
ehrew. Some one told him she was a rose.
"I am no judge of colors," said Milton, "and
it may be so, for I feel the thorns daily."
Real flesh and blood in its natural state is a
hundred times better than chalk and carmine.
Fashionablo belles and would be beauties, can
take this to curl their hair with.
It is a popular delusion to think that an ed
itor is a public bellows, bound to puff every
thing and everybody who wants to see him.
Therfhig man who'once saw the day when
he "wouldn't associate with mechanics," is
now acting as clerk to a manure wagon.
VThen & man is willing to appear poor, he
deprives penury of its sting.
