A DISTINGUISHED FEATURE OFENC
LISlE CEYILIHATIRN

In his last London letter to rhe New
York Nail, Justin Mccarthy has the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
You have baby shows in the State,
believe? Did we borrow the idea from
you? But did you ever have q bar-maid
show? We have one here just now, at
the North Woodwich Gardens, a sort of
lOwer-class Cremorne. There is an ex-
hibitiOn Of bar-maids--a competition of
rmaids-and the award of prizes to
the best and the prettiest. don'tknow
who the judges are, by whom this mod
ern British version of the Judgment Of
Paris is to be carried out, aud I should
not care to make their acquaintance.
The whole thing is disgraceful to us.
1t is a vulgar and brutal piece.of bust
ness, with flavor of Iewdness under the
vulgarity. The British bar-maid is a
peculiar sort of person. She is plump,
pretty, pert and superciliOus, and rude
to the general public, but full of smiles
and smirks and winks for the Cham
pN6uG OAd4ICgo WHO utIJ Wllil ueF, call
her by her Christian name, address her
as my dear, pay her coarse compliments
on her good looks, and chuck her under
the chin when opportunity offers. One
can easily imagine what a Bar-maid
Show will be, and what class of man will
be there to see, and what kind of criti-
cism he will indulge in.
think the British snob who flirts with
bar-maids is the very vulgarest human
creature in existence. I think the Brit
ish bar-maid is often perhaps a much
better, purer girl than she seems or than
her admirers appear to consider her
But show of bar-maids to a mob of
grinning Champagne Charleys is an ex-
hibitiOn which does little credit to Lon
don civilization. I only know of one
other species of feminine show which
can follow this without proving an anti
climax, and that I suppose will come

periority. london, my native place,
you see. is too overgrowed with 'Ouses
and people to have room left for even a
soopersition, much less a ghost. We've
too much to do to think of such things.
Now, I'd bet fiver, in shillings, that,
halter all, Snip had only found a rat

I tell you there was no rat-hole, for L

comes tonight, intend to take Snip to
the place again to see how he behaves.
And as my rounds nearly come, If you
please, ladies and gentlemen, I'll take
my leave
Richard Aaybrook's departure was the
signal for a general breakup of the par
ty. Candlesticks were in immediate
requisition, and, yawning, the domes-
tics retired to bed.
Soon the house was silent, its inmates
slumbering comfortably in warm beds.
Even Lady Penderleith slept. 1t had,
however, been long first. But then she
knew Of what the rest were ignorant
of that poor prisoner, alone, sleepless,
maddened with terror and despair,
down in the vaults, and who, to break
the fearful stiffness that nearly over
turned reason, could hear and aid.
The clock was just striking twelve,
when, as black clouds were scudding be-
fore the moon, Richard Maybook issued
from the dark plantation, lantern in
his hand, and wirehaired, bright in
telligent-eyed dog at his heels.
Come along, Snipn said the young
gamekeeper, striding through the fern
towards the house. Tonight the poach-
ers have found it too moonlight, or too
cold, to lay their snares, so, before we
turn in, my boy, let's pay 2 visit to
your 'rat-hole,' as Symonds calls it,
Rat-hOle, indeed! As If shouldn't "a

fellow, here we are! How are you go-

the old left wing of Penderleith. Reach
ing it, they stood for an instant to re-
gain breath, under its heavy shadow;
then Richard MaybroOk, pointing out
the spot at which Snip had torn, said.
There it is, Sir Gerard; it was no rat
hole, you see; but I knew it must be
something, for Ships dog of sense, and
has a purpose in all he does. It was
here I fancied heard the cry told
you of, so as it seemed to come from
somewhere up there, Iassured myself of
it, as you must do, Sir Gerard, by climb
ing up the ivy
Immediately, the Baronet's hands
were employed in removing his coat.
Excuse me, Sir Gerard, interpOsed
the gamekeeper; you mustn't take your
coat off. Your white shirt-sleeves might
attract attention, if anybody was near;
and what we do must be done in secret.
True. My brain is in such whirl
that I confess I scarcely know what I
am about, replied the Baronet. Oh, if
what you suspect be proved correct,
great heaven, how shall we act? how re-
lease her?
Let that be an after-thought, Sir Ger
ard. First convince yourself that she is
there! Up sir, up! We are losing time,
and dread the clouds breaking, for to-
night the moon wouldn't be welcome.
Gerard needed no urging. In a mo-
ment, he had grasped the ivy, the grip
of which on the rugged masonry CEN
turies had rendered as strong as iron;
and with a rapidity marvellous to the
gamekeeper, of clumsier build, drew
himself up to the place indicated by his
companion.

OLD TIMES
BY. B. F. TAYLOR.

There's 8 beautiful song on the slumorous air.
That drifls through the valley OF dreams
It comes from chime where the roses were,
Ard a tunefuI heart, and light brown hair
That waved in the moist timing breeze.
Soft eyes OF azute and eyes Of brown,
And snow-White forehesds are there;
A gIimmering Cross and glit;eTiDg Crown,
A thorny bed and couch Of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
A breath Of spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet waits from the quivering pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A babble Of brooklets, scent Of buds,
Bird warbles and clambering vines.
4 rosy wreath and dimpled hand
A ring and q sighted vow
Three golden links Of a broken band
A tiny track on the snow-white sand,
A tear and ainless brow,
There's q tincture Of GRIFFIN tie beautiful song
That sobs on the slumbrous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive thrOng
Sinks down on the soul as it trembles along
From q cline where the roses were.
We heard it fret at the dawn ofday,
And fl mingled with the matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody aoweth from far away,
And we cauit, now, ''Old Times"

CHAPTER VIII.


The $50 P. NJ. Folkestone train had
whirled out Of the Charing Cross Sta.
ton, when Sir Gerard Penderleith, af-
ter two hours pacing the platform, close
ly inspected every parsonage Who'll ap-
peared on it, depressed in spirits, re-
traced his steps to his hotel, to wait till
the 9,25 started, and to see if any letters
had arrived for him from the detectives
he had employed.
Calling a hackman, he drove rapidly
through the muddy streets, for the rain
had been falling nearly all day.
On reaching the hotel, he sprang up
the steps, and asked Immediately of a
waiter if any letter had come for him.
No, sir; no kilograms nor letter, sir,
But there's a person, sir, as has been
waiting for the last two hours to see
you, sir. He said he must see you
though he stopped all night
It's one of them, and he has neWs!'
the Baronet thought, as he ran upstairs
Thank heaven, they have been more
fortunate than II
NOsooner, however, did he enter the
room, than he saw he was mistaken
The man who, on his appearance, rose
up, and respectfully touched his fore
head, was no detective.
'ItundeTstand you have been waiting
some time to see me- said Gerard, his
heart sinking with disappointment
what is your business? Pray be seated,
and also be explicit, for my time is valu-
abIe'

asked the other. Il come from Pender-
leith.'
'PenderIeithp calculated the Baronet,
looking attentively at him. Yes; your

Have you forgotten, Sir Gerard, four
years ago, reseuing a lad from an infuri-
ated bull in TefertOn Meadow?'
'Ah, yes; the animal had pursued him
and knocked him down, I believe.'
And would soon have gored him to
death, Sir Gerard, had not you leaped
the hedge on you chestnut mare, and
drawn the BULBS attention to yourself,
by lashing it over the eyes with your
whip, thus giving the lad an opportuni-
ty that be speedily took to escape
through a gap in the hedge, over which
you soon after followed. That lad was

been of such material service to
you, my man. But surely that past
occurrence is not the reason of your
present visit?' said the Baronet, with a

Yes, in part, Sir Gerard; for made a
vow to be of service to you, if could,
and I hope to be so now"
Richard Maybrook-for it was he
fidgeted with his feet, looking confused
Iy at the floor, and anywhere than at
his wondering companion, then contin-
ued.

WENT FOR HIM.-A rough looking
specimen of humanity was recently
promenading up Chatham street, New
York, when he came plumply upon a
Jew, a specimen of his race about whom
there is no mistake.
Without a word of warning, the rough
knocked him sprawIing in the gutter.
The Jew picked himselfup, and placing
his bleeding nose between his thumb
and finger, demanded an explanation,
"Shut up or I'll bust yer again ~

again.

and he went for him again.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN ON THE
CHICAGO CALAMITY

Geo. Francis Train, in his lecture at
Atchison, Kansas, just after the great
fire at Chicago, with his chalk and
blackboard, marked out the burned
district, and summed up all the fires
he remembered in history, and said
Chicago beat them all. The following
is a sketch Of his remarks
THE GREAT DISASTER.
1 am not in mood for speaking to-
night. am down hearted, as all of US
must be, at the terrible news that comes
hourly over the wires. The greatest
calamity, outside of civil war, that has
ever visited our shores, has fallen upon
US in the destruction of Chicago. Chi
eagO, the Prairie City, the Young Giant
of twenty years growth, the center of
a score of railways, where a hundred
trains day bring all the world. Chi
cago, the Eldorado Of the corn country,
the city Of churches, rings, and cOmbi-
nations, has again marked itself in his
tory as the champion city of fires. Over
topping all other fires in the world as it
surpasses all other towns in its marvel
Gus growth, enterprise and assured
wealth; all its banks, all its Insurance
companies, all its newspapers, all its
railway palaces, all its Sherman and
fremont Houses, all its downtown
ohucrhes, and its magnificent palace
stores, all its public buildings are in
ashes. Six miles of wealth, store and
iron-ten thousand houses in ashes, and
one hundred thousand human beings
sleeping homeless, houseless, on the
prairie. Sum up the great fires of the
past, and, all told, this eclipses them
all.

No man was ever destined to be great
whose disposition and manners change
with circumstances. We like to see the
grand features in a mans character dis
tinetly marked, and capable of being
traced through every period of his life,
from bOyhOOd to old age. We do not
like to see his honest bIuntness give way
to a sort of amiable, please-every-body
temper when he mixes with the world
and finds it good policy to keep on the
right side of all kinds of men and wo-
men. That temper and that description
of manner which can abide the sun and
storm, are what give character to the
man. We like to see the boy who has
ways, and manners, and feelings of his
own, who can not be moulded into any
shape that foolish and hypOcritical pa
rents choose to give him q model. We
like to see the young men who will
sooner be banished from under the roof
of a sOrdid and weak-minded father than
be moulded into a dull, commonplace
man of business, and be made traitor
to truth and God, for the sake of q re-
putation among wOrldlings and Phari-
sees.
