Life in New York.

A pale, emaciated man, coatless and
thinly clad, was taken before Police
Justice Kilbreth, in the Essex Market
Court, yesterday. An officer accused
him of throwing a cobblestone through
one of the green lamps in front OF the
Elaridge street police station.
John Petersen is my name," the
prisoner said, as he slowly raised his
eyes from the floor and answered the
magistrates inquiry. -
And you threw the stone purpose
ly?"
+ "I did!" a.
"Why did you do it?"
The pallor of the mans face gave
place to faint flush as he told, in
broken tones, the following story:
Il was cold-so cold that my body
was all of a-tremble; and hungry, yes I!
amished; for hadn't had meal since
the day before, when I pawned my coat
to get it. I am in the last stages of
consumption, and I lost my place as
clerk in drug store on that account.
After wandering about for several days
/ went to the station and begged them
to take me in. They refused. They
were already crowded, they said I was
growing weaker and weaker from ex-
posure and hunger. I fingered about
the police station until my legs would
hardly support my body. I was think
ing howl could get arrested. That was
the only way I could imagine of getting
bed and something to eat. I found 9
stone in the street. I gathered all my
strength and threw it through the lamp
Justice Kilbreth sent Petersen to the
Commissioners of Charities, instead Of
sentencing him to the island as con.

Tall and Sh6rt Men.

just after left Honcoye Falls q tall
man sat down in the seat in front of me.
I had noticed him standing YEARLY
about on the platform, and I pitied him.
My heart was full of sympathy for him.
I am always sorry for tall man. Some,
times, when get before an audience
and have to stand on my tip-toes to
look over the foot-ights, wish was
trife taller than I am. But this long
ing is only momentary. 1t passes away
as soon as see an unusually tall man.
You see, very tall man is always pur-
sued, haunted by one unvarying joke.
Every short or ordinary-siz man that
approaches him throws back his head,
affects to gaze up into the heavens with
q very painful effort, and asks, Isn't it
pretty cold up where you are?" Just
watch the next man you see meet a tall
one and see if this conundrum doesn't
follow the first greeting. Just watch,
| and see if you do not ask it yourself.
And this must be dreadfully wearing on
the tall man. I have observed that, as
rule, big men, tall men, are good
natured. 1t is we little fellows who
have waspish tempers. So the tall man

He smiles drearily, and with weary
effort to appear interested, and tries to
look as though he had never heard il

for the tall man to hear this question
fifty times day for thirty or forty
years. Sometimes, when I hear dozen
men ask tall man of my acquaintance
this question, in direct succession, and
see him endure it so patiently, I wish
was the Colossus of Rhodes, and little
man four feet eleven and half would
come up to me some day when I fell
right good, and stare up at me with
grin longer than his body, and ask me
If it want pretty cold up there? ani
I would hold him up by the neck, and J

Topographic Eccentricities.

A great many columns have been
written concerning topographic errors,
and many of the instances sound so
witty or SO stupid that it seems as if
they must be rather inventions than
actual happenings. But we never saw
one cited 80 unlikely that we couldn't
remember its match. Once we wrote
that it was "ike evolzing the shadow of
a shade" to quote forgotten writer's. The
phrase appeared in print thus: Like
cooking the shadow of shad." The
printer had, in burlesquing the senti-
ment, actually preserved and intensified
it in q most striking image of unsub-
stantiality. At another time we had
quoted the proverbial opinion of Rosa
lind: Men have died and worms have
eaten them-but not for love-" The
printer may have been misogynist; at
all events, he substituted women" for
"worms." There are Shakspearean emen-
dations not much better than that, per-
haps.-SprirsatdeId { Mass Republican
