According to the daily reports of
the New York papers, that city is be-
coming an extremely dangerous place
for the sojourn of strangers. With a
police force Of fully 2,200 men, gener-
al lawlessness and murder are increas-
ing to an extent that is alarming, and
in certain quarters of the city it is alb
solutely unsafe for any decent person
to venture. The record of last week
is thus summed up by the New York
Times: During the week which end
ed Saturday eight dead bodies we're
found floating near the docks, an un-
known woman was found dead in the
street, and prominent German citizen
mysteriously disappeared. In nearly
every instance these persons were foul
ly murdered, else their bodies would
not have borne the marks of bludgeon,
the knife or the pistol. If we add to
this list two cases of murder in which
the ante mOrtem testimony of the vic
Tins has already proved the guilt of
their murderers, and the numerous
murderous assaults which have occur
red during the week, some of which
may yet end fatally, We have a record
Of crime and violence which hardly
any other city of Christendom can
parallel.
Boys and girls! try to spend at
least an hour day with some good
pleasant book. An hour seems but a
little time, yet an hour a day for ten
years will give you 1850 hours, or
three hundred days. Nearly a year of
good reading! Think about this.

In the Saddle.

A cavalry camp Immediately after
reville, says Gen. Custer in his "Life
on the Plains" always presents an ami
mated and most interesting scene. As
soon as the rolls are called and the re-
ports of absentees made to headquar-
ters, the men of the companies, with
the exception Of the cooks, are employ
ed in the care of horeses. The latter
are fed, and while eating are thorough
ly groomed by the men, under the
superintendent of their officers. Near
ly an hour is devoted to this impor-
tant duty. In the meanwhile the
company cooks, ten to each company,
and the officers servants, are busily
engaged preparing breakfast, so that
within few minutes after the horses
have received proper attention break
fast is ready, and being very simple it
requires but little time to dispose of
it. Immediately after breakfast the
first bugle call indicative Of the march
is the General" and is the signal for
the tents to be taken down and every
thing packed in readiness for moving.
A few minutes later this is followed
by the bugler at headquarters sounding
"Boots and saddles" when horses are
saddled up and the wagon train put III
readiness for pulling out" Five min
utes later "To horse" is sounded, and
the men of each company lead their
horses into line, each trooper standing
at the head of his horse. At the words
"Prepare to mount" from the com
manding officer, each trooper places
his left foot in the stirrup; and at the
command Mount" every man rises
in his stirrup and places himself in
his saddle, the whole command present
ing the appearance to the eye of a
huge machine propelled by one power.
Woe betide the unfortunate who
through carelessness or inattention
fails to place himself-in the saddle
simultaneously with his companions.
If he is not for this offence against
military rule deprived of the services
of his horse during the succeeding half
days march, he escapes luckily. As
soon as the command is mounted the
advance" is sounded, and the troops,
usually in Column of fours," move
out. The company leading the ad-
vance one day march in rear the fol-
lowing day. The successive changing
gives each company an opportunity to
march by regular turn in advance.
Our average daily march, when not in
immediate pursuit Of the enemy, was
about twenty-five miles. Upon reach
ing camp in the evening the horses
were cared for as in the morning, op-
portunities being given them to Craze
before dark. Pickets were posted and
every precaution adopted to guard
against surprise.

There was considerable fun at a
representation of "Romeo and Juliet"
in wretched little theatre during the
first French revolution. Madame De-
harme, the Juliet of the occasion, was
lying dead on the tombstone. 1t was
raining torrents; drop came through
the roof and fell on Juliet's nose; she
made face; another drop fell on her
eyelids; she winked. Ii was a facial
expression not taught by Delsarse.
Finally she took to watching the drops
and dodging them. The audience
caught the idea and sympatized with
her.
"Look out, Mrs. Juliet" said one
fellew, "there's whopper a-cOming-
| see it !"
"Mind your eye" said another.
MADAME" said a third, rasing,
"will you accept the use of my UNI
brella"
OF course the tragedy ended in a
farce.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago Rev.
Charles G. Finney, now President Of
Oberlin College, was carrying on Il
series of revival meetings in some
Eastern city, Boston, we think. One
day gentleman called to see him on
business. Mr.. Finney's daughter, per-
haps five years old, answered the bell,
'Is your father in? asked the stran.
ger.
NO" replied the demure little
maiden. "But walk in, poor dying
sinner! Mother can pray for you"

Troublesome Change Making.

A German woman soon signaled the
car, and the conductor sprung the
bell. With gravity walked up to the
woman after she was seated, and beld
out his hand for her fare. The Ger
man woman gave him a three cent
piece and two pennies. The conduc-
tor put the three cent piece in his vest
pocket, and dropped the pennies in a
side pocket of his overcoat. Then
turning to the lady he said:
81 want another cent, madame"
81 gave you five cents" she replied.
Ever since the Fourth Avenue
Railroad has existed the fare on this
line has been six cents" replied the
conductor proudly.
"Well," answered the woman, 81
haven't got another cent" After some
hesitation she added, "Have you any
changer"
81 can change anything, madame
from twenty-five cents up to an eleven.
dollar BILL" said the conductor.
Thereupon the German lady handed
him fifty cent stamp. He took the
stamp between his teeth, and counted
out handful of pennies into the wo.
mans lap. She counted them very
carefully, and then looked up into his
face.
Haven't you made a mistake p
she asked.
Just hand the pennies back here
then," the conductor said, holding out
his double hands.
The German woman took up hel
dress with one hand and ladled out
the pennies with the other. The
conductor then counted them over
and threw them back into the lap say
ing: "Thats all right-forty- foul
cents, and six for your fare is fifty
What's the matter with you ?"
"Yes," returned the woman, "but
want five cents more"
"No you DON'T" he replied. "ThC
fares six cents, and you've got forty
four cents in your lap. That's al
right"
"Well, give me back the five cent,
that I gave you before, them" said the
woman with touch of asperity.
This apparently dumbtounded the
conductor. He remembered that the
woman had given him FIVE cents, bu
the thing had become so intricate hC
seemed at a loss to know how tC
straighten it out.
81 gave you three-cent piece ant
two cents" the woman said.
The conductor nodded, but rubbed
his head as though endeavoring to
comprehend and unravel the whole
momentary mystery. His face bore {
troubled expression. Finally he go
it.
"Well," he said at last, "give mC
back those pennies"
The woman scooped them into hi
hands, and he dropped them into hi
pocket. He then fished up the fifty
