Mr.. Drew was about six feet in height,
thin and stoop-shouldered, with keen
gray eye under shaggy brows, thin lips,
and a smile always within hailing dis
tance. The smile was never SO sweet as
when the crafty speculator was engaged
in giving verbal comfort to some unhappy
victim OF his wiles, or in advising a YER
dant but greedy rustic how and when to
buv preferred GU" for a rise. For the
last few years lit; lie has been known con.
cerning his movements, and "the street"
was visited by him at long intervals. He
has been living the larger part of this
period in Carmel.
His large property in Putnam County
was placed under the Sheritf's hammer,
and the once splendid fortune of from
$l5, ,OOO,0 900 to 100000 is scattered to
the four winds. The last king of Wall

poorer than when he began his career.
The only surviving members of Daniel

Some unprncipIed dealers, because they
could see few cents more profit, have been
guilty of offering worthless substitutes for
the only original and genuine Sulphur Soap
-Glenn's by name. Therefore the public
should guard against this deception, and
always ask for =" Glenn's sulphur Soap" by
its full name, and take no other.
Read the following evidence from a
highly respectable source:
DETEoIT, MICH, Aug. 6, 1879.
C. N. CRITTENToN, Eso.-Dear Sir: have
travelled for three years for Messrs Charles
Scribner's Sons, Publishers, New York, and
desire to inform yCl that have used your
incomparahle "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" ex
clusively for about four years; also have
recommended It to very many persons, and
my constant experience has been that 1t
possesses all the medical advantages that
Won claim for it. All to whom have re-
commended it say as well as myself, that
1t deserves its established reputation as the
best and most efficacious Sulphur Soap that
can be used for all skin cleansing as well
as toilet purposes. Some unprincipled
drug store keepers have endeavored to sub
stitute other kinds OF Sulphur Soap for
Glenn's-saying they were Just as good, y
but having myself tried other kinds. find
none are SO good or so beneficial as the
genuine Sulphur Soap stamped "Glenn's,"
which also have learned to observe always
bears the name of &C. N. Crittenton, Pro
prietor," on the packet.
Yours truly,
G. T.Z. DURAND.

Madame Mustache, one of the be

Madame Mustache, one of the best
known gamblers on the Pacific Slope,
committed suicide fortnight ago near
Bodie. She was a Frenchwoman, very
quiet and inoffensive, but with strong
propensity for gambling. Her favorite
game was "twenty-one," which she dealt
for many years. 1t seems that, her
bank running low, she borrowed $500 of
FRIEND and with her own funds opened
a faro bank. 1t lasted but few hours,
when it was broken. She said not word
to any person, but wandered to seclud-
ed spot in the sage bush where with her
dead body was discovered an empty poi
son vial, which told the tale of suicide.
When one of the best-known sporting
men in San Francisco heard OF her death,
he exclaimed: "Poor Madame Mustache.
Her life was as square game as was ever
dealt. The world played against her with
all sorts of combinations, but she general
lv beat it. The turn was called on her at
last for few paltry hundreds she missed
the turn, none of the old boys We're there
to cover the bet for her, and she passed in
her checks, game to the last. Poor
Madame Mustache"

ana Avoiding Fever and
Agite.

OF all chronic diseases fever and ague is
perhaps the least conquerable b. the ordi-
nary resources of medicine. There is, how
ever, a remedy which completely roots it
out Of the system III any and all of its va
rious phases. This celebrated anti-periodic
is vegetable in composition, and is not onlv
efficacious, but perfectly safe, thing that
it can not be predicated with truth of qui-
nine. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is, be-
sides, most efficient means of defense
against malaria, as it endows the physique
with an amount of stamina which enables
it to encounter miasmatc influences with
out prejudice to health. Persons about to
visit, or living in foreign countries, or por-
tons of our own where intermittent or re-
mittent fevers prevail, should not omit to
lay in sufficient supply of the great Pre-
ventive both to avert such diseases and dis
orders of the stomach, bowels and liver
common to such localities.

IT does not appear to have occurred to

IT does not appear to have occurred to
anybody that the beautiful young syca-
more trees planted in the Esplanade
about the Fountain, on Fifth street, are
twice if not thrice too thick. When
trees are of the size of ounce shrubs
they may be planted close together and
not seriously interfere with each other,
but when they show symptoms of really
becoming trees, as happily those
about the Fountain now do. they
have absolutely to have space to
spread their limbs or will grow up in
form like bean-poles and utterly destroy
their beauty as shade-trees. In short each
alternate tree along the e4planade will
have to be removed, and that very soon,
or the symmetry of the whole will be
utterly destroyed, These trees are toe
pretty to be allowed to ruin themselves
as they are bound to do if this prccaution
is neglected. The removal of even two
between those that are to remain would
be better than one, but the cutting of one
out will vastly benefit those that remain,
and will insure five years of symmetrical
growth to them, which is that much
gained at least.

Miss Kate Field says in Scribner tn t
Mr. Arthur Seymour Sullivan was bo"n
both clever and lucky; and she adds
that it is probable because Of his genial
and extravagant grandfather's existence
that "Pinafore' was written. For this
gentleman, an Irish Squire, spent hi,
patrimony in riotous living, and his
son Thomas found that he must work or
starve. He was very fond of music and
so adopted as a profession the art he
loved. He became bandma,ter of the
Royal Military College at Sandhurst,
and it was in the band-room that his
son Arthur passed most of his child
hood. At ten years old he played upon
every wind instrument as well as upon
the piano, which WAS taught him by his
music-loving mother. His talent fol-
mischief he displayed one day when he
was lost for five hours and was found in
an old college room picking to pieces q
venerable piano in order to know the
secret of its construction. At fourteen
years sold, he won by an original compost
ton over twenty three other competi
tors the Mendelssohn Scholarship of the
Royal Academy of Music, and was thu
enabled to study his art in Germany.

SThe Hattie OF the daumee."
IOhio State Journal,

President and Mrs. Hayes sat talking
in their Fremont home the other evening
with a group of guests. when General
Sherman was called upon to tell the story
of the Battle of the Maumee." "Well,"
said the genial warrior, 'it was during
what was called the Michigan war, when
the border inhabitants of Michigan and
Ohio were quarreling over strip of ter
ritory. The dispute became so warm that
a resort was made to arms, and the OHIO
party raised about twelve hundred men
from all the neighboring towns, while the
Mchiganders were not much behind the
opposition.
"On the eve of the battle the two for
midable armies were divided by only
a board fence, and pickets were stationed
along the line. Word got abroad some
how that during the night there was to
be surprise attack made, and dread
full slaughter must surely ensue; so when
mysterious noise as of steathy step
approaching was heard by one OF the SEN
tinels, he became. terribly excited and
called out in the direction Of the noise.
Receiving no answer,he leveled his piece
and fired, after wuich he threw it down
and ran for dear life. Next morning
when the sun arose it looked down upon
two deserted camps, the only victim of
the nights adventure being an innocent
pic that had wandered from home and
met its death at the hands Of the heroic
sentry,"

THE Catholic ladies of this city are
engaged in most laudable enterprise,
and deserve the hearty encouragement of
the community. The object of the
Ladies' Aid Society does not seem to be
as fully understood as it should be. The
money raised by the Bazaar, and other
efforts of the Society, has nothing to do
with the estate or the receiver. 1t is
divided among the Churches and dis
tributed to the most needy of those who
are losers by the Archbishop's failure.
This distribution is made in every case
by a committee Of the ladies of the
Church, 50 that the money is absolutely
certain of going into deserving hands.
While the money is thus distributed
where it will do the most to alleviate
suffering, receipts are duly taken and
filed, so that every dollar raised also de-
creases the debts just that much.

A smart Aleck.
[New York SUM-

Late last evening a horse on Third
avenue car baked while going up the in
cline from Chatham square to Canal
street. The car was crowded, and nearly
every one of the male passengers stood
up and shouted advice to the driver and
conductor, who were laboring with the
stubborn animal. The horse stepped over
the traces and sullenly eyed the passen-
gers. A young man wearing silk hat
and lavender neck scarf retained his seat
and smiled with complacent contemptu-
business at the suggestions the passengers
made. Then he seemed to become slight
" impatient, and turning to another
passenger he asked:
"Why don't they start him along?
He was informed that the horse was
balky.
I know" he replied; "but there's no
reason why we should be delayed by a
balky horse. They ought to start him
along"
/ The young man spoke in loud and
confident tone that attracted the atten-
ton of the other passengers, and some
body asked how the animal could be
started.
"Why, there's only one sure way of
starting baky horse" the young man
answered; Everybody ought to know
what that is.
The passengers clamorcd for him to gel
out-if it was necessary for him to quit
his seat-and put an end to the delay
At length the young man arose, took of
his gloves, scraped up handful of dry
earth from the foot of an elevated rail
road column, grasped the bulky horse by
the lower jaw, and chucked the earth
into his mouth. Then he brushed the
dust from his hands and made ready to
jump on to the platform of the car at thu
start.
The balky horse lay down.
The passengers who showed the car ant
the horses up the Bowery by mail
strength looked over their shoulders t.

KING STORK TO THE FROGS.

Certainly the time has come when the
people of this country should try and
find out whether they have the power, or
whether their representatives in State
and National Legislatures have to pro-
tect the interests of those who paid for
the construction of the great railway
lines, or to regulate traffic between the
States in a way to serve the public inter-
ests. AT the present time most of these
enterprises are under the absolute con-
troll of a few men who have become a
law unto themselves The public good
has been made secondary to individual
interests. The history Of railroad man
agement in this country for twenty years
past has been either the record of ruin
Gus rivalries of competing lines or Of
unwarranted combinations
1t would seem that if there is any class
of business that ought to be regulated by
some uniform system of laws it is that
we are now discussing. Mr.. VIM, II.
Vanderbilt, in a late letter to a Special
Committee of the \ INV York Chamber of
Commerce, has distinctly made the issue.
Mr.. Vanderbilt tells this Committee that
the questions they have raised as regards
the public interests in railroads and rail-
road management care too important to
be made the football of politics. and he
serenely deprecates the arousing of pub,
lie feeling against the management of the
main lines. This, he says, can be easily
done, but it "only results in injury to
those who promote the agitation, or to
the public"
Now, as regards political agitation, or
making these interests the football of
politics." the fact is that for years before
the elder Vanderbilt obtained the control
of the New York Central Road, way back
during the days when Dean Richmond
and Erastus Corning were the railroad
kings of the State in small way, rail-
road influence was felt in every political
election along the line, and that the
Vanderbilts, father and son, have done
all that money and patronage could do to
control all elections of Legislative
officers throughout the State. With the
possible exception Of New Jersey, the
State Of New York has been more given
over to the pernicious control of one or
two railway autocrats than any other
State in the Union.
MIR. Vanderbilt, while he utterly for
bids, as it were, any legislation that will
limit or restrict the action of railroad
managers, graciously says: "I certainly
will be very glad to meet the Presidents
of the trunk lines to discuss the matter
and prepare if possible bill to overcome
the difficulties" and he also expresses 8
willingness to be consulted by the "repre
sentatives of commercial bodies" for the
sake of an amicable understanding anC
united action! But there must be NJ
compulsory legislation! This Mr.. Van
derbilt gives the New York Committee
and the little American public to under
stand distinctly, once for all, and govern
} itself accordingly!
