Modes of walking.

Observing persons move slow, their
heads move alternately from side to side,
while they occasionally stop and turn
around.
Careful persons lift their feet high, and
place them down fiat and firm. Some
times they stoop down, pick up some lit
tie obstruction and place it quietly by the
side of the way.
Calculating persons generally walk
with their hands in their pockets, and
their heads slightly inclined.
Modest persons generally step softly for
fear of being observed.
Timid persons often step off from a
sidewalk, on meeting another, and al
ways go around stone instead of step
ping over it.
Wide-awake persons ''toe out,'' and
have long swing to their arms, while
Careless persons scrape about loosely,
with their heels, and are first on one side
and then on the other.
Very strong-minded persons have their
toes directly in front of them, and have
a kind of stamp movement.
Venturous persons try all roads, fire.
quently climb the fence instead of going
through the gate, and never let down the
bar.
Unstable persons walk fast and slow by
/ turns.
One-idea persons are very selfish ones
and EFtoe in
Cross persons are apt to hit their knee!
together.
Good-natured persons snap their thuml
and finger every few steps.
Fun-loving persons have a kind of jie
movement.

City Thieves.

There are few honest people who are
not interested in the peculiarities and
habits of pickpockets. Among thieves
there are several clearly defined classes.
Burglars or craftsmen are the head of
the prOfesslOn-the aristocratS of knavery.
OF the first-class hands, operating in the
large cities, very few are Americans
They are mostly English, with a small
sprinkhng of Irish and German. The
fine points of the business are better
taught in Europe. The fine gentleman of
the profession is the hotel thief. His bus
iness is to move about from hotel to hotel,
and, as opportunity offers, relieve his as
sociate guests of such superfuous articles
as they can be enGced to leave within his
reach. He is genteely dressed, and pos
sesses an ease and grace peculiarly his
own.. If he cannot engage in legitimate
stealing, he is ever open to any sWindling,
that may be brought to his notice. He
makes acquaintance with the guests, and
by professedly giving confidence he gets
| confidence in return, and where, when
and how to strike for money. Veryrofte
he is accompanied by woman adventur-
ess, who assists him plan the thefts.-
The pickpockets are separate band of
thieves, ranging from the dirty urchid to
| the gaudily-dressed being who is kind
enough to relieve you of your watch or
pocket-book at the horse-race, going into
or coming out of church-for pickpockets
do actually work the pockets of the saints
in the portals of the sanctuary, and in
outer appearance look as respectable as
their victims. Indeed many of them live
in the most genteel manner in uptown
mansions, where respectability and sub
stantiality finds an appropriate setting.-
An arrest of burglars sometimes demon
strates the fact that one who has stood
high in the community is a professional
burglar and house-breaker. Sometimes
the criminals family have been rear
ed in respectability and are aware of the
the profession of the husband and father

love? Oh, what divine, rapturous problem
was this given him to solve?
That pumping apparatus about his heart
began to work again with a will. He
crept around the liquor closet, between
the freeZers, and putting one hand upon
Sally's lips, with the other drew her close
upon his heart.
FHush, darling,' he whispered; ''it is I
-Wil-your own faithful viii. Oh,
Sally! Sally ~
Her little falling head he caught in time,
and kissed her fainting lips to life. He
said more in minute to Sally than he
had whispered all the night above. He
decided her fate and his own in the twink
ling of an eye, and unblushingly believed
he was but fulfilling all the vows of long
ago under the walnut tree. AS for Sally
shy, blushing, trembling Sally-she
was in rapture of bewilderment, of Joy
and bliss, that is seldom reached by NOR
tails, until suddenly the cellar door OPEN
ed; then, indeed, the crimson in Sally s
cheeks paled, the stentorian whisper of
Mrs. Crane was heard upon the steps:
SIT, must be jest right now. It's bin
turnin' you know, long enough now; it
kin set by, and Sally might jest as well as
not heV little fun. I lay anything it's
the primest stuff you ever see."
ttThe cream is spoiled, y whispered Sal
ly, her big, loving, fearful, happy eyes
fixed upon WHIPS.
''Not bit of it, said her champion.
And although that cream was certainly
! lumpy and a little soft. Will declared ii
the best he ever tasted, or would taste foI
the remainder of his life and as the cream
was made for him, why, what did it mat
ter?
Angelica, having plenty of strings to hel
bow, didn't mourn over it grievously; F.; but
poor Mrs. Crane from that time forward
| bought her cream at Towers.

Death OF A. q. steward.
From o. s. Journal.

From o. s. journal.
The telegraph announces the death of
A. Il. Stewart, the merchant prince of
New York. Recent sketches of Mr.. Stew
art promoted the general belief that he
was a man of extraordinary vitality for
one of his advanced age, and the expec-
tation that he would live to take an active
part in mercantile and social affairs for
many years to come. Indeed the pros
peCt that he would build another uptown
store had been seriously discussed with
in a few weeks, and his death interrupts
a gigantic mill enterprise on extensive
property which he owned, at Glenham,
near Fishkill. Mills were to be erected
of sufficient capacity to carry out a plan
for substituting domestic manufacture of
a very large line of goods which are now
imported. Mr.. Stewards name was also
conspicuously associated with the ar
rangements for the entertainment of the
Emperor of Brazil, on his coming visit to
the United States, on a scale of princely
magnifcence. A short but painful i'll
ness has cut off the great merchant, and
at the same time estOpped or deferred en-
terprise of much public moment.
Mr.. Stewart was born near Belfast, Ire
land, in 1903, and after receiving an edu-
cation at Trinity College, Dublin, came
to the United States in 1928. He advanced
rapidly in business and wealth, and in
1848 built the marble store on the corner
of Broadway and Chambers Streets
building then looked upon as a palatiaI
wonder. He anticipated the sup town
movement" and in 1862 moved the retail
department of his business to the new six
story brick building on the square bound
by Broadway, Fourth avenue, Ninth and
Tenth streets. The investment in the re-
tail store, and the land upon which it is
built, is estimated at 81, $50, 900.
Mr.. Stewards residence was on a scale
not less colossal than his business build
ings, and he was lavish in beautifying it.
His investments in art were very large
his last acquisitiOn-the new painting by
MISSIONER, called the "Charge des Cui-
rassiers' s''-costing him about $75, 900. His
wealth was vast, reaching, according tc
| the latest. estimates, toward the marvellous
| sum of ninety millions. Recent compar-
/ isons have raised the question whether HI
was not the richest man in the world. Hi
wealth exceeds that of Vanderbilt, anC
possibly of any single member of tn,
Rothschild partnership. He acquired i
by his own exertions, starting into bust
ness when Vanderbilt and Astor wert
already wealthy.
Mr.. Stewards prominence was mainly
| due to his great success in business. HI
was never in political life, although hi
education, his taste for art, and his prince
ly entertainment brought him into direc
association with statesmen, literary peo
pie and artists, and his fitness for higl
official station was conceded on all hands
| He was nominated for Secretary of tn
Treasury at the beginning of Presiden
Grants first term; but his name wa
withdrawn on account of an old law, still
in force, which rendered him ineligible
on account of being an importer.

a COntumacIOus Mule.

A farmer in this county, says a North
Carolina paper, has a mule so awfully
contrary that he can do nothing with it.
Put him in harness and it is hard to say
which way he will travel. Put a saddle
on him and he appears to dose, but try to
mount him, and he will all of a sudden
begin to kick every way-straight out,
straddle bug, with all four legs at once.
AS to eating, he will eat anything, from
his feed trough up to a wooden saddle.
The owner took a notion to have him
shod, but he kicked out the blacksmith
shop and returned home. The owner tried
to kill him, some time back, so he tied his
ears with trace chain and rode him for
six consecutive days and nights as hard
as he could under whip and spur. The
fact is that he nearly killed himself in the
effort, and had to be carried up stairs to
bed, and his firm belief was that the mule
would die that night; but to his astonish
ment, the next morning he found that the
mule had kicked to death q Chester SOW
weighing 300 pounds, bit piece out of
his horses shoulder, ate up a saddle blan-
ket, and was splurging about more dew
ilish than ever, to find something else
meaner to do.

HUMOROUS.

When two women in a family are try

the men folks to vanish.

E'What is one bag of meal to fat two large

only one way to explain this phenome-

1t was a very embarrassing circum-
stance, and it happened at hotel in Ri
pom. A man and his wife were stopping
there. The man was subject to severe
attacks of collie, and was taken sick there
in the night. He told his wife that he
must have immediate relief or he could
not live, thought mustard draft would
releave him. She hastily robed herself,
went down stairs and found the watch
man, who admitted her to the dining
room, where she spread the mustard from
a castor on her handkerchief, and hast
ened up stairs. Finding the door ajar
she rushed in, turned down the bed
clothes, and slapped the mustard draft on
the unconscious mans bowels. He in
stantly sprang up in bed, and in strange
voice said: 'tMy God woman, what are
you doing?" She had got it on the wrong
man.

Buying a Cow.

Deacon Smiths wagon stopped one
morning before Widow jones' door, and
he gave the usual country sign that he
wanted somebody in the house by drop
ping the reins and sitting double with his
elbows on his knees. Out tripped the
widow, lively as a cricket, with tre-
mendOus black ribbon on her snoW-Wh1Ue
cap. FFGood morning" was said on both
sides, and the widow waited for what was
further to be said.
''Well, Ma'am Jones, perhaps you don't
want to sell one of your COWS, now, for
nothing, anyway, do you?"
EFWell, there, Mister Smith, you could
not have spoken my mind better. A poor
lone woman like me does not know what
to do with so many creturs, and should
be glad to trade if we can fix it,"
So they adjourned to the meadow, Dea-
con Smith looked at Roan-then at the
widow-at Brindle-then at the widow
at the Downing cow-then at the widow
again-and so through the whole forty
The same call was made every day for a
week, but the deacon could not decide
which COW he wanted. At length, on Sat
urday, when the widow Jones was in a
hurry to get through her baking for Sun
day-and had ever so much to do in the
| House, as all farmers wives and widows
have on Saturday-she was little impaz
| tient. Deacon Smith was as irresolute as
ever.
''That 'ere Downing COW is a pretty fair
cretur,' said he, 'Fbut''-he stopped to
glance at the widows face, and then
walked around her-not the widow-but
the COW.
''The Downing cow knew before the
late Mr.. Jones bought her" Here he
sighed at the aIlusion to the late Mr.. Jones,
she sighed, and both looked at each other.
It was highly interesting moment.

A long stare succeeded his speeeh-the
pause was getting awkward-and at last
Mrs. Jones broke out:
Claw! Mr.. Smith, if I'm the COW you
| want, do sag so!''
The intention of the deacon and the
widow was published the next day.

BrfstOvv.s other Thousand

So much has been said about expensive
establishments, ,and Mrs. Bristow's known
wealth is so great that every one was sur
prised at the very modest residence Sc
lected by the Secretary of the Treasury,
and there is floating about very anus
ing little anecdote which illustrates Mr..
Bristow's quiet fashion Of settling ques-
ton. When seeking for residence last
fall he found very desirable house al
ready furnished, and after looking it
over inquired the rent. EtSeven thousand
dollars ~ answered the agent. Mr.. Bris-
tow said nothing, but seemed consider
ing some important matter in utter alb
straction. At last, a gentleman with him
growing impatient, demanded to know
his decision. "Oh! yes ~ said the Secre-
tary. "Seven thousand, think the agent
saidi' eyes," said his friend. "Well, %
responded the Secretary, 81 was wonder
ing what L could possibly do with that
other thousand ~ OF course you know a
Cabinet Minister'S salary is only eight
thousand per year. That seven thousand
dollar house was not rented, but you will
find Mrs. Bristow receiving in very pleas
ant parlors on K street, and when you
have talked with her five minutes you
won't ,lnow or care what the rooms are
like or how much anything costs. There
is nothing in the least ostentatious about
the menage, and though Mrs. Bristow
dresses richly, there is never anything
| conspicuous in her toilette. Her real
lovelness of character wins her the bes
affections of every one.
