PERSONAL MATTERS.
General Le Fevre, of Ohio, who was in twenty-six
engagements and nineteen battles during the late war,
has at last become engaged again. This is the first
Saratoga engagement this season. The enemy's name
is Miss Snow, and the General has been for several
eighty years ago—surrendering. At last he did it this
morning. I knew there was something up, because this
morning when I asked the young ladies why Miss
Snow was like ice water, they all answered:
“Why, because she is good to lay fever.”
The General said this morning, “I don't dance the
lancers, but I should like to lance the dancers—especially
the venerable Mr. Jarvis, of Boston, who keeps all
the young ladies dancing the round dances, just because
some Boston physician said dancing would cure his
dyspepsia.”
VERY PERSONAL.
Mr. Scattergood is the name of the minister who
addressed the Round Lake camp-meeting people yesterday.
The name is very appropriate for a minister,
but there would be no end to its value in a shot-gun.
The Misses Money, of Cincinnati, are quite belles at
Saratoga. They are named Miss Julia and Miss Sara.
This is not the first time they've had ceremony at
Saratoga.
Among a delegation of Chinamen at Saratoga are
Ah Sin, Flir Ting, Drin King, Sle Ping, Che Ting, Ste
Ling, Smo King, Danc Ing, Gamb Ling, and Dress Ing.
