who now owns 400 acres of land. He
is usually spoken of as a good manager,
because he started poor boy and is
now worth $4,000. But he is not a
good manager, and never has been. I
will tell you why.
His whole life has been devoted to
the accumulation of property. This

occasionally able to lay up little for the
rainy and snowy days of winter. At all
seasons of the year the organ grinder, of all
men, fattens on the misfortunes Of others; for,
strange to say among music loving people,
he is most literally paid when the payment
is conditional upon his going as far away as
possible, and he often receives generous and
unexpected gifts when he happens, by chance,
to get into street where some one is i'll

from seventy-five cents to dollar a day.

The Dead.Beat Nuisance.

The processes by which the dead-beat is
made are various. A young man of bad
habits goes on to worse, until, as business
becomes slack he is discharged. From that
day forth his clothes grow shabby. He begins
to borrow from those who knew him in bet
ter days, with the promise and, at FIRST, with
the purpose Of paying but at last he wears
out his friends, and begins TO prey upon
society at large. He has no resource but
Notwithstanding on the basis Of any
story that he can invent. He wants money
to bury his wife, his child, to feed a starv-
ing family, to get some place where he has
friends, Many pretend TO belong in the
South, aud are only anxious TO get back.
Many in New York have just come from
the South, their trunks pawned for PASSAGE
money, and they want to get to Boston
Some are just from hospital, where they
have for long time been i'll. They have
been dismissed without money, and want to
reach their friends. The ingenious lies that
are peddled about New York, 10 any single
day, by men and women fairly wel.dressed,
for the purpose Of extorting FROM sympa-
thetic aud benevolent people, sums varying
from one dollar to twenty-five dollars, would
make series Of narratives quito sufficient to

consistently are these stories told that it is
next to impossible to realize that they are

vate experience with which We are ac-
quainted, proves that nincty.nine times in a
hundred they are pure, or most impure, in-
yontious.
The genteo female dead.beat is, perhaps
the hardest to get along with. She puts on
airs and dignity. She talks of her former
fortune, and Of her expectations She has
sources of income at present shut up, but
sure to be opened in time. Or she has a
small income, terribly inadequate, at best,
but not yet due She wants something to
bridge over the gulf that yawns between the
last dollar and the next. Sometimes she
lubricates her speech with tears, but dignity

An OLD TINE GIRL.-We saw her on the
street yesterday, says the st. Louis Journal
She wore neatly fitting, plainly cut and
modestly trimmed calico dress. Her modest
face beamed with youth and beauty beneath
the grace folds Of gauzy green veil, and
her rosy cheeks shown through it like pair
of large cherries. She didn't carry oue-half
of her dress in her hand high up to crafty
the vulgar gaze of blackguards or to draw
forth ludicrous and ungsntlemanlY remarks
of corner loafers. Nor was she pinned back
so tight she couldn't step, and her heels
didn't kick her filter as high as the small Of
her back. She didn't walk like mule with
a loose set of harnesses and the flies bad.
No; she wasn't dressed in a style calculated
to attract the attention Of any but true gen.
tlemen, and of these she commanded the ut
most respect, and it was paid her by all who
in meeting, admired her.

The Poles have issued an address TO the

remind Americans that there were men of
another country, who, animated by like feel

have assisted us in our gigantic work. After
speaking Of the grateful remembrance in
which Americans hold Pulaski and
Kosciuszko, the document proceeds to say
that on the day of our centennial jubilee the
Poles, from the midst Of the ruin aud oppres-
sion of their fatherland, in whose ultimate
revival they most firmly believe, extend their
fraternal hand to Americans, and wish pros
perity to the United States of America,
which they regard as the champion Of prog
ress, and bright example of freedom Of
conscience which might be the envy Of
Europe. The address is dated at Zurich,
Switzerland, the place where many exiled
countrymen of KOsciuszko congregate, re-
fugees from the triple tyranny of Prussia,
Austria and Russia, which has so long OPP
