THE GERMAN FLoWER.GRL.

The many who have never seen the gambling
palaces and luxurious houses of even worse fame at
European capitals and watering places, may be ex-
cused from being enthralled with wonder aud bewil-
derment at some of our great modern hotels, akin
TO those in air, yet so respectable few days since
we passed one of those. 1t was the quintessence Of
Tespectability. Carriages built like the French MALE
posts stood before the palace, and motley group OF
hacks, and drivers and runners and tall and small
negroes and various tribes Of Cells, from the fair
haired small nosed Londonderrian to the dark com
pexionod big-mouthed Tipperarian hung around.
Lying about, too, were trunks and carpet-bags, Of
wondrous and various shape, some laid out in rich
shrouds of upspoted seilcoih others slightly creased
and worn, with dust and smoke and toll.
On entering the main corridor divsns were spread
on both sides filed with mostly dressed in broad
clcth men with chains Of rich gold and costly rings,
some chewing and splitting, others smoking and grin
ming, not talking much to each other, talking to
themselves, but all intent thinking, inyentng,
correcting, scheming and specializing. Perhaps mute
Millions or mute Fultons, perchance mute loafers or
mute rewdies-who tell but Of whichever class
they be, on stin on, they chew and spit and smoke
and grin on to their goal.
At the erd of the corridor stands little desk with
big book; behind it sit and stand busy and fash
ionablel ooking young men, They look half fop, half
clerk, but smart, smooth end bland.
In richly furnished drswing-rooms around sit lazy
looking ladies' voIuptuousy Ioing inrockng chairs
some selfcomplacent, some helpless and harsssed
with the dieaway Of do nothing-some cynical
and scofirg-but all prettiIy dressed and looking IN
the enchsntment of distance, ladies.
In the basement was one Of those huge bar-rooms
which on the fight from Egypt was smuggled over
the Red Sea by drunken Jew, and thus found i's
way here touching various countries as it passed anu
smelling accordingly.
Around the bar stood lawyers, politicians Journal
lists, shipping merchants, importers brokers' auc-
toneers land jobbers slave dealers, hhbussers, re-
formers with fair spnnkIing of comedians poets,
and opera singers-a more or less drunk, with some
sstbetcaI or intellectual oafer looking despondingiy
on with brow of gloom, and disabled BY financial
stress from joining in the revel

HOW TO AVOID COAL swNpLEs.


SIR ve'y judicious neghbor Of mine is just laying
in his Winter store Of Coal, and being determined to
have the tun of Coal for which he pays his money.
hss had ore of Fairbanks scales placed upon his
sidewalk and weighs each tun OF Coal il is deliver
3D. coubtless considering that he has just as good
right to be satisfied that he Is receiving the proper
weie ht as The seller is that be Is giving it.
Tbs Circumstance suggests To my mind the pro-
prey Of our City fathers protecting the citizens from
the mposit Of short weight in Coal, wei as in
shori measuIos and weights in groceries and other
family net, sssries.
Ard why should not this be done There ID scarce
ly family in this City that is not more or less victim
lied by the imposons praesej upon them in the way
of rry eh tuns Of Coal, and from the fact that every
fomy cannot have the facilities of measuring the Coal
for then seves they submit to the fraud from necessi-
y therefore suggest that proper scales be placed
uIcer tie charge of sworn officers, In such localities
throughout the City may be determined upon, aud
that for a reasonable compensation xs by law, they
shajl az the call of citizens wishing TO weigh their Coal
b,fore il is put away, and jus; rs it is delivered, be
compeltd TO 20 with the scales wherever called and
weigh the same the public sce'es. Some such
regISsSon as this will pro eci us all from continual
imposition in The purchase of one OF the greatest ne
cosseri's Of life.
