NW York World. ' , When Jake Schaefer escaped from the enthusiastie people who bore him on. their shoulders in Cosmopolitan Hall Saturday night he rushed into (Jol. Adam s office, tSbnned his over coat; and in company with, a few friends went to Billy Sexton's billiard rooms on Broadway.5, near . Thirty- fourth street,- There the gallant lit tie representative of. America in the international contest for the billard championship was greeted with ups roarious applause. Gua Newlin was a.,..'.-... -.... - mere, anci.Ai. sauertoo .ba was Dick Roche, . Maurice Daly. Alex N e w berger, 'Telemachusr Schaefer, Jake's handsome brother; Lon Mvers, tlarrj trr edncks ana a hundred oih ers . They nearly tore the little wizs ard s right arm fromthe socket, and almost squeezed his hand into a shape less mays, ana wine nowea use,. wa ter. Consequently Jake did not arise yest-erday. morning, at a very early hour. When he did so, he turnrd to his partner, Air. Eraench. and asked, "is there a barrel oE ice water . at hand?'? , Later in the daywhen sen by a World reporter, he said: "The Frenchman made me "hustle, but I was all there, and as you Tcnow, .! won. v ignaux played great Diuiards though,- and the crowd1 was' kept guessing as to the result." - "Will yon play him again?" "Yes, a match has been made, I be lievet f or us toplay before he returns to France. . I, will make the stake arger if he wishes it. j My , backer, Mr. Roche; will- back, me against Vignaux for $5;000." - ; . , was it not,", asked the reporter; ' "Yes, but not as large as one would imagine- jd amountea to sometning like $3,000 and " when expehsesare deducted the net amount will be very much less than $2,000, - The hall cost something like $700, h& advertising, help: &c.z will run the expenses to about $1,600. V;" -l-Vvv-Mv---, .-; Yignaux, -after the match, went to his: apartments at the Rossmore Hotel and, after;;discu3sing the matter of his defeat with his backer, Mr. John Dowiing, and a few-friends, retired Mir. Dowiing said yesterday : . "I am perfectly satished. but not as happy, of course, as it Vignaux iiad won. The amount I lost, doesj not, trouble me. ' It is less than $7,000,; all . told, and that, will not distress me. I lost 'the $2, 500 main stake and had agreed to give Vignaux $1,000, win or: lose, so that accounts for $4,000. Then-1 bet about $3,000 on the outside.7 ;I am , satisfied, however, - thatr the Frenchmati' can defeat Schaefer and have matched him to play. Jake again for the same amount. Vignaux is anxious to meet Jake again before he returns to France and I will give him the chance. . -, A SOGUJLAR 8TOB1. Two Boys in Kentucky who Spek : ( . an Vukown Tongue. New Haven, Nelson County, Ky., Jan. 31: A respectable farmer. Mr. Jir Knox Ice, who lives seven miles northwest of here, on the Beech Fork, has two ons Alexander aged- 13 years,and Nicholas age 12, who speak an unknown tongue. which they alone understand and which is wholly uni known to their parents or ihe rest of the family. It is a still more singu lar fact that each boy speaks a dif ferent language, but understands the other. : It wais not until'recently that Alexander could learn to speak En glish, and Nicholas can't 'catch on" yet., Alexander acting as interpreter petween nis younger orotner ana the other members of the family. The boys are good looking1 and en dowed with average intelligence. Mr. Ice married a Miss Boone, .and the families of both date back to our first settlers. The boys have never traveled twenty miles from home, and have never been associated in any way with foreigners of any clime, and I doubt If they ever . heard any other language than the English. , Mr. Ice has. five " other children, two older and three younger than these boys, all of whom speak their native tongue' plainly, and always have, but know nothing whatever of the language spoken by Alexander and Nicholas. " . . ' ' The parents, 'as well as the whole community are completely at a loss to know how to account for this strange freak of nature.

A ReTiyal of Ola Costumes. . ' Baltimore Can. - . - TThe Richmond correspondent of the Sun. in " a disnatch nublishRd last weeki speaking of the cavetv of the eeason in . that ' city and of- the weddings already consumated and in prospect says: The feature of at least one of these will be the unique way in which the groom will be at tirwi: In a very recent affair of this kind the groom wore knee breeches and silver buckles on his shoes. This example is to be followed by other prospective candidates for the altar. The colonial style of dre-s for special occasions is oecommg a ieaiure nere, anu ii is saia cnat several more , en terprising young men who fwul lead some of the pretty Richmond girls to the altar 4 his spring - wilL not only wear the knee breeches, but appear in full suit of that period, not omit ting powdered nair.; ; There are no people in the Union who are better - -4 . ... . e , , acquainted with i tne costumes ot a century ego than those of the tide water section of Virginia. In them the sentiment of local .attachment nas atways oeen strong. ; , Tney are proud . of . their. State, proud of ,the : men who have adorned its annals, and who by their public services, : have won "a conspicuous place in -the history of the republic in the founding of which they took a leading, part, jand proud of the old families that once lived on their broad domains . in patriarchal style, were keen sportsmen, drank deep, often - gambled heavily. , kept open, nouse tor all comers, and left behind them portraits and: dresses. and heirlooms that are still cherished oy their descendants - There is con eequently. a certain sense of fitness in the groom wearing at a marriage cremony apparel resembling . that; worn, when black velvet, and green and pucecolored coats, embroidered waistcoats with long flaps, and satin knee-breeches and - low-quartered shoes .with broad silver buckles,' were the fashion of the. time. The cos tume had .at least the merit ' of pic turesqueness,'; which cannot be said of th swallow-.tailed dress " coats, white waistcoats and neckties and the black pantaloons of the present day.! The cocked hat : was a much prettier headgear than tur. "stove pipe," ; while powdered hair gave a ruddiness to the complexion such as ho , modern ' cosmetic can parallel. We "Idraw the line, however, at the pig-tail with the little black silken bag 'dependent from it: But why jsbonld not our" .Richmond.' t bridal couples make the transformation complete? It would be an anachron ism for the groom to dress after the fashion of his great greatgrandfath er and the bride to be vdressed .in the wedding costume oi the day.. There would be a sense of unfitness in it, a feeling as if one of the young Virgins ia gallants who led the dance in the good old. times at Williamsburg, had cast oil Ins cerements,, and, flushed with a new life, had come to modern Richmond and won the. great-greats granddaughter of the pretty young lady in the formidable head dress,the long " pointed, ' stomacher, broad spreading,- brocade skirts and red high-heeled shoes he danc?d. with at the ball when; Patrick t Henry -was making 'treasonable1 speeches and Lord Dinwiddie was trembling in his shoes. " To make the thing complete the bride ought to wear.a costume of the same period las the groom, - and the. charming effect of the innovation would be materially enhanced ifrshe were carried to the church in a sedan chair, after -the custom of some ladies of the olden times, when,they(, canoe iipv from their plantations, to partici pate in the festivities of the winter season at '.the little colonial capitals, In the country horses back riding was the rule. Those who ,. remember the Lady ' Washington's tea party, given in this city.a few years ego, mnt, havfi hpp.n struck with the vari ety of old and rich costumes that had been carefully- preserved ; for many generation s. and were brought out on this special occasion once more to the light of. day. . It was; a charming sight, full of . light and life and color. The dresses, the iewe's and the. many articles, rich, rare or quaint, that had thus been brought together from old colonial and post revolutionary times were striking evidences of the wealth and refinement of ; those old days We have become since then a busier people; we- dress in BOmbre' Colors, and .for the most part, we take our nlpfntirpfl sadlv. We are wearied with over. work. t If we could add ftven a little nicturesqueness to our modern costume.1 a bit of ecler here arid there, it would give a brightness to our streets and to social gatherings, and although we mignt not auoy ic cobturaes worn in an earlier, day, by the founders of the republic, we "might still find in their virtues some avoiding their pleasant vices. l.
