Our streets are still crowded with |
strangers, most of whom find their way
about easily, and even if we recognize
them as not belonging among us, still we
are glad tosee them. Occasionally, how
ever, some hapeless individual, himself
acquainted with the business part of the
CITY, brings his wife with him and one
cannot help but commiserate him. In
vain docs he try todTsiHVher by the gaily
dressed shop windows. She persists in
showing him bonnets, collars, hosiery
and baby linen, and the result Is, they
generally pursue their rather uncertain
path down Broadway, each pulling IN
different direction. She is all interest
and astonishnent, while he looks anx-
ious and bored to death. Still This is nol
to be used as an argument by the sex
who have the Suffrage, for leaving their
wives at home.
Among the foreign strangers
RUSSIAN NAMES AND TITLES
figure largely and are much sought after
by our fashionable bellies. They are quite
willing to risk a freezing in st. Peters
burgh.
The House divorce case is at present
one of the absorbing topics here, and
many people were willing to bet that
lie verdict would be j'ustifable homi
eide" Others look upon Mrs. House as
one of those wicked but magnetic wo-
men, who attract and interest every one |
who comes near them, only to make cats |
paws of them TO farther their own inter- |
ests The case as it stands looks awk- |
ward for Brad House. tits an offensive
matter at best, and no one cares particu- |
larly to assist in stirring it up, if he
believes it impossible to touch pitch |
without being defiled The general i'm
preston is that the House family were |
anxious to keep the money, and did not |
care whether it were done by one of the
brothers marrying Mrs. Irene, or by |
prosecuting her for murder and getting
her hanged.
The progress made on the East River
bridge while seemingly very slow, at
tracts much attention, not only from
strangers but from residents. Many |
people prefer
DECK PASSAGE
on the ferry boats now, that they may |
watch operations The men who were |
at work taking in the slack, attracted |
much notice as they hung suspended |
from the cables. Most of the male look |
ers on decided that they would not !
care to be in their places, while wo-
men shrieked with those little nervous
screams peculiar to them, and one nearly |
tainted.
A grand wedding is to come off next
month, though what the bride will be |
dressed in does notappear.
DEAD.MENs CLOTHES
is suggested. !. 1t is that of the Centenni- |
al Life and the New-Jersey Mutual Life
Insurance Companies. They will be
virtually one, and it is hinted that the !
bridegroom's part viii be assumed by |
the latter company, and that Miss Cen
tennial viii henceforth only be the other
half of the New Jersey Mutual.
Mr.. Tupper is already in our midst
and if not profound philosopher is at
least a very genial man. 1t is TO be /
hoped that he will fare little better than
nephew of his did who visited America
a few months ago. He went West to
HUNT THE BUFFALO
and was swindled out of all his money.
Then he entered into an agreement with
some agent to give readings They went
some miles out Of Chicago, and their
first and only audience consisted OF
one small boy. Returning to the no
tel the agent left before the young gen
tleman was I'D, with all the funds, and
he, poor fellow, footed it back forty miles
to Chicago. Here he fell In with some
English friends who kindly provided for
him until his remittances arrived. If
he writes a book about us, however, /
verv much fear it will be unusually fiat
tering.
Mr.. Martin Farquhar Tupper, how
ever, will hardly meet with such rough
treatment. Next Sunday he is to read
his poem entitled
"THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL,
in DIR. Talmage's Church, in Brooklyn
The usual morning sermon will be set
aside for this purpose. 1t certainly
strikes one as being a novel arrangement.
Among the pictures at present on ex-
hibition The Christian Martyr attracts
universal attention. 1t represents q
young girl with her hands bound to-
gether, being thrust into the arena, past
the dens of the wild beasts who are
shortly to tear her to pieces The ex-
preston on her face as she turns a SIDE
long glance toward them, is a study. |
Dread of the physical torture awaiting
her, overcome by the high faith that nils
her soul and prevents even a single fal-
tering step, is depicted in every delinea-
ment II is the martyr not the saint we
see. Human consciousness and dread
