CURRENT COMMENT

LOCAL AND GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED An Impartial Review of Subjects Under Thought-The Talk of the Gaaalpa.

T T IS BUT natural, and certainly moat X proper, that tbe editorial mind should over tbe local field In search of food for thought and subjecu upon which to comment for the delectation of local readers, and daring the progress of summer resort season nothing b so clearly before tbe editorial eye aa tbe very things which go to make up and woo/ of the garment of recreative pleasures so generally adopted by the] mass of summer patrons who come throw aside the sterner realities of life for tbe lighter gayntles which give springiness, energy and spirit ao greatly needed, well deserved. There be but few who exist for pleasure alone, for In thb busy, workaday generation no honor, no credit, comes to the perpetual idler, who lives for pleasure alone, and these very things o recreative to tbe busy bees of thb great earthly hive, become wearying and destructive to those who know not tbe

ciable decliue In the number or In the! enthusiasm, of her worshipper*. Yet we ace it staled that tbe recent convention, of the Associated Dancing Master* of the ] United States and Canada, held in New York admit the fact that the delight Jp, the exmctac Is waning. It Is true, too, that this exercise, ouoe ao austere, Is more frivolous to day. Iu course may be aaVd to have degenerated from tbe temple to tbe stage, thence to tbe assembly. It has descended from a rite to a romp. Nevertheless, there come revival* hi all such thing*, and as there came a few year* ago a revival of pantomime,ao even dancing will from time U> time become revived iu tbe old-time vigor. It k a pleasure too charming to be lost, and too sacred as well. It originated In Egypt, and when

temples were deserted the young

priesteaaea danced and tbe worshippers returned. In India before every idol would worship a troop of dancing girls. Tbonce tbe ritual paaaed_to Greece, and

Olympus became a fancy ball.

The custom was abrogated iu tbe middle ages, but revived with the Renaissance. In the old!prints there are pictures of Dionarcba qpou high thrones looking j down upon the mouie-like feet of coryphee*. From court thf dance passed to tbe stage. That which bad first been * form of worship, afterward a apetacle,

dcveloptd into au art.

There k leas frequent reference from the polpit in these daya to tbe sin of dancing than there was a generation ago, when so .many oouscicnlloua religious teachers declaimed agalnlat at aa a aoul-di-airoyiug indulgence. la Its excessive Indulgence there does Ik a eiu against which all should-be warned, an excess that makes inroad* upon health tnat! overtaxes physical powers and wreck* j the nervous system of fair young womanhood. - Yet "On will) tbe dancr!" is still tbe j cry, and the poetry of motion, measured by sweetest musical strains, will cootlnue to be executed by merry uiaJJens

An Item ol Interest Now Published

For The First Time.

The Cape May reading public must not think It atrauge that the writer ha* never before, In bis many year* of newspaper,! work, given out »ny Information as to who built the first summer cottage at thi* resort, or In other word* who wa* the first non-resident to occupy hk own summer home here. Our excuse must be tnat we never l^yd aucb knowledge, sad did not know nutil recently that each knowledge was in the possession of any

one now Hying.

An elderly lady patron of tbe Cap® now here relates that many years ago she was Intimately acquainted with a Mk® Potter, of Philadelphia, who daring one of their visits together at Cape May, pointed out the spot where, she declared, her father built the first cottage or summer residence known to Cape May. All who visited the place were located i6 the old-tiroo hotels, and no one bad thought of building a borne here for tbe summer use. and the uatives had not yet caught up the renting plan. This daughter died about twenty year* ago, and a son died only a few months since, in bis eighties, in the old borne occupied by tbe elder ; Potter, on Ninth street near Sprue®,'' w here the family lived when tbe "Cap®-j Island" cottage was built, which must have been Iu the early twenties of the

last century.
