IN. Y, Post.l

About 2 o'clock this morning persons
living in the neighborhood OF NO. 507
East Thirteenth street were awakened
by cries Of distress. Upon fastening to
the back yard Of that place, they dis
covered Daniel Hurley, aged ~ years,
who lived In the house mentioned, sit
ting astride clothes line midway be-
tween the front and rear houses. He
was supported by the line at a height OF
Ave stories above the pavement, shout
ing Tor help and clinging to the line
with desperation. The persons assem-
bled finally succeeded, by means OF a
stone In throwing rope over the clothes
line. Hurley fastened them together,
and then descended, hand over hand,
till he reached the ground in safety;
His nerves gave way when he reached
tie bottom, and he fell utterly exhaust
ed. In answer to q question, Hurley
explained that he went up on, the roof
OF the house to sleep, and awoke to find
himself clinging to the clothes line
stretched across it. He caught only one
rope OF the halyards, and his weight
caused It to slip along the pulley and
carry him to the centre OF the line.

Death of a Rich New York Gambler.
NJ, Vel, C,n

NOW lNIh Duusl
Daniel Danser, the gambler, died in his
home at 30 West Eleventh street, on Sat.
urdy, of a spinal disease, He was born
in Oneida county, and came to this city
about forty-two years ago. Kipp &
Browns stables we're then ut Charles and
Hudson streets, and there Danser OBJ
tanned employment as a blacksmith. He
became acquainted with the gamblers
who made the stable their headquarters.
Their success induced him to adopt
gambling as q business, and accordingly
he started a faro bank in the Bowery
Cottage, now the Gotham, in the Bowery.
After two years Of partnership with Bill
Harrington and old DR.. Brown, they
opened the Oil House game, on the other
side Of the BoweTy, where the German
Bank now stands.
In 1872 Dauser sold out his interest al
8lS Broadway, and retired with a large
fortune. During forty years he had been
living in Elizabeth street, near Blocker.
Ga giving up gambling he bought the
the House at 80 West Eleventh street, IN
which be died. About a year ago burg
lars gagged Mrs Danser, and stole $40,
900 in bonds. Some of the property was
recovered.
Danser was seventy -four years old at
his death. When John Harper lost all
his money on Lougfellow, Danser assist.
ed him out of his financial difficulty.
Several years ago four bootblacks stole
$1,000 from his pocket. Police Capt.
Kennedy and Detective Dolan arrested
the boys, and recovered nearly all Of the
money; but Danser induced the District
Attorney not 10 prosecute. He faaoied
one of the boys, and sent him to the Con-
n%ecticut Military Institute, paying his
expenses in advance for ten years, Dan
ser's fortune is roughly estimated at
$500, 900.

posed OF clever men, who %conversed free

own writings. There are men whose sole
conversation consists in putting forth the
one idea they have borrowed fron the

are not near so ~disagreeeble az the pre-.

The leadeT-writer's talk, as a rule, con-

carried too far, and it is useful at times.
The writer Of social articles is a man who
earns a miserable pittsnce by making
bricks without straw, and he acquires the
painful art Of going on talking Tor any
length Of time about absolutely nothing.
He is horribly vapid on nearly every sub.
ject, but be p%ratles to his unfortunate

his new views aud interpretations from
foreign magazines This is a very easy
road to reputation for sound learning ia

ted talker is the young college don who
solves the enigma Of free will and eou-
structs q philosophy of being in twenty
minutes. He is fond Of paradiug his
small knowledge Of Hegel and Herbert
Spencer, and he is always expressing bis
deep regret hat the university does not
allow him a large endowment Tor the
purpose of.feseerob. He is man whom
only an e%soteric audience can appreciate
