Tho Hard Times In New York,

Despite all the croaking about hard
times, says n correspondent, New York
is very gorgeous this winter. Tho turn

Sales Of extnvngantly costly furniture
arc as frequent us ever, and the great
jewellers and expensive dress people are
doing more than their usual business.
The fact is, the society woman in New
York refuses to recognize the existence
Of hard times. She considers il the
duty OF the man who undertakes the con-
tRct Of supporting her to furnish her
with what she wants Just Us freely one
year as another. II the poor fellow
pleads embarrassment aud bad business,
she answers, "What is that to met
know nothing about your horrid stocks.
| do know that want that diamond
necklace, and will have it." And she
generally gets it for several reasons. A
man always stands in awe Of very
handsome and very fashionable woman,
aud besides q great many New Workers
have discovered that IL is very good
thing to have $4,000 to slOO,O06 in
diamonds aud such things, which belong
to his wife, TO fall back upon. This is
tho secret Of very much OF the extnn.

the city. The poor feel tho hard times,
and those supposed to be rich may also,

He has about 200 miles of good board

A Pennsylyania Affair.

A horrible story is told in the Allen
town (Pa.) Herald of lunatic named
Levi Handwerk, who was discovered by
q hunter on Blue Mountain imprisoned
in brick cell, about four feet square,
where he had been immured for twelve
years. The father of Handwerk died
when the latter was a .oung man, leav-
ing him 81 600. The mother married q
second husband, after which young
Handwerk was bricked up in this prison
in the woods, and left to live or perish
as he might. After the discovery was
made the Coroner and others from
Allentown proceeded to the place in
Washington township where Handwerk
was imprisoned, and found a constable
from Slatington already making prep
arations for the deranged mans re-
moval. The iron bars guarding the
entrance were taken down and the un-
fortunate man was found lying on a
patch of straw, nude and incrusted with
dirt. while the surroundings we're too
filthy for description. His limbs had
beconess paralyzed, and he was unable
to stand upright without assistance. 1t
is said that the reason given for his
imprisonment in this filthy den was that
it was unsafe for him to be at large, and
that if he had been sent to an insane
asylum the money he possessed would
have been appropriated by the State fol-
his support. Handwerk has been sent
to the county almshouse.

Wood Books.

In the museum st Hesse- Cassel, Ger
many, is library made from five hun
dred European trees. The back of each
volume is formed of the bark of tree,
the sides of perfect wood. the top of
young wood, and the bottom of old.
When opened, the book is found to be q
box containing the flower. seed, fruit,
and leaves of the tree, either dried or
initiated in wax. At the Melbourne In
ternational Exhibition of 1866, Colonel
Clamp exhibited specimens of Victoria
wood converted into small boxes of
book form, according to design
adopted by that gentleman at the Vic
toria Exhibition of 1851, and then sug-
gested by Baron Ferd Mueller. Moth
ing could be more interesting than a
library Ito speak allegorically) of such
imitation books, representing the diff
ferent timbers of various countries
which could be Systematically, or alpha
betically, or geographically arranged.
Australia alone could furnish of such
q collection over thousand volumes.
At the Paris Exhibition of 1867, Russia
showed similar collection of wooden
books cleverly designed, showing the
bark as the back binding, and lettered
with the popular scientific names of the
wood. Each book contained samples OF
the leaves and fruit of the trees, and O
section and shaving, or veneer
of the wood. Educational

The Freedman,s Bank swindle.

The reports which have been current
so long regarding the desperate condi-
ton of the affairs of the bankrupt
Freedman's Savings Bank are more
than confirmed by the report of the
Commissioners appointed to liquidate
them. It would have been less cruel to
the deposltors had the full truth been
told long ago. It has been apparent
during the past six months that there
was no hope for the unfortunate depos-
iters, and, Notwithstanding this fact,
the truth has only been partially told at
long intervals, the policy of letting
down easy having prevailed. The ne
groes of the North and South who had
intrusted their little savings to the COR
morants who managed the bank, have
thus been kept in a state of alternate
hope and despair, now expecting to re-
ceive their money, and again doomed to
disappointment; while all the time it
must have been apparent to the Trus-
tees that there was no hope for the vic
Tins.
The developments made by the Com
missioners show that the main cause
of the collapse of this bank was not
the panic, but the corruptions and
mismanagement of the bank Off
cials. The assets show that the
President of Washington clubhouse
got $2S, 800, secured by law. Howard
University had $75, 600, and it is not
very creditable to that uneasy seat of
learning that the debt was secured by
college property of little value. One

of bankrupt manufacturing company
