Money in Garbage.

Scrlbner for May has paper, by
Charles II. Farnham, descriptive of the
docks of New York and their pictur-
esoue and varied life, from which we
take this interesting paragraph ''In
the midst of all this commercial wealth
we meet another sort of life at the gar
bage dump The pier is built quite
high, that the carts may rise above the
heap of refuse on the deck of the lighter,
even at high tide The space just I'M
der the floor of the pier, between the
rows of piles, is inclosed with old planks,
and divided into several rooms, one for
storing bones, one for tin cans and old
metal, one for old boots and shoes and
one for rags. At one dump a room is
fitted up for living. The planks are
lined with refuse pieces of oilcloth, then
a layer of carpet is spread all around;
more oilcloth is tackled on, and finally
the walls are papered and the floors car
peted with more refuse pieces. The
room is VAIN and inhabitable even
there under the dock and but foot
above Spring tide. But the whole scene
is extremely repulsive, although the
business is quite profitable. The city
hires trimmer to trim or pile the loads
on the lighter. He lets out this work to
two or three Italians for one-half of the
pickings, now and then visiting Ms
dump, dressed in broadcloth, kids and
diamonds. The Italians sell the bones,
metal, rags and boots to peddlers, and
thus make from $40 to $50 per
week. The Waterman on the pier told
me that they lived chiefly on the garb-
age, so that they save enough money in
a few years to 60 home as count and
spree it awhile, and then return from
sunny Italy to claw over the garbage Of
New York. Now rnd then they allow
their wives and sweethearts to come
from Baxter street and help pick. Then
the garbage pile is covered with pic
turesque company Of grimy and ragged
figures eagerly snatching refuse in a
cloud of offal dust 1t is strange
phase of life. They have their social
distinctions, too, for the cartmen who
collect the refuse consider themselves
UNNECESSARILY superior to the pickers.
And they have, at least, the advantage
of an honest and Woodworking horse.

Queen Mary's Lover.

An unpublished manuscript, giving
certain new particulars concerning the
murder of Rizzio, has been brought to
light in the British Museum. 1t is
probable that the manuscript was either
dictated by Mary Stuart herself, or
written from information supplied by
her to her secretary. 1t begins with re-
lating a discussion by the confederate
lords, just after the murder, concerning
the next step they ought to take
Darnley, terrified at their proposals, en-
deavored at night to enter the queens
bedroom by private stair. The door,
however, was locked, and the queen
firmly refused to open it till next morn
ing, although Darnley assured her he
had something to tell her which con-
cerned their common safety. When he
was at last allowed to enter, he threw
himself on his knees before her, begged
that she would pardon him, and showed
the secret articles between himself and
his accomplices The queen replied
that he had lost her confidence, as she
believed, forever, but that he must now
devise some means to save both him.
self and her from sanger. His
plan was that she should pardon the
conspirators, and thus prepare the way
for compromise, but she refused to
promise it, saying, however, that her
husband might promise anything he
liked in her name. Darnley first
brought his father to her and afterward
the other lords of the same faction.
Morton, as spokesman for the rest, i'm
plored her pardon, and knelt ON the
very spot which was still red with the
blood of Rizzio. The Queen, being
closely pressed by the solicitations, at
last feigned sudden illness and called for
the immediate presence of the midwife,
leaving it to Darnley to say what she
would do. Although the midwife had
been appointed by the conspirators, she
was SO well deceived that she reported
the Queens life in danger from prema-
ture pains of labor, and the lords were
obliged to withdraw. That night Mary's
plan of escape was secretly arranged,
and before daybreak, says the manu-
script, she and Darnley were long dis
tance on the road to Dunbar.

An Audience of One.

All the world has heard Of the eccen-
trio distaste of King Ludwig of Bavaria
for publicity, especially in the theatre
His passionate love for the drama, and
his excellent Judgment upon it and its
allied arts-its poetry, scenery and mu-
sic-are equally matters of notoriety.
A citizen of Munich says he has not
seen the King in a theatre since 1868,
when he sat alone in the royal box at
the first representation of the "Rhein.
gold, and watched the sporting of the
water nymphs in the green flood of the
Rhine. Since that time King Ludwig
has become still more shy of society,
and he now arranges for separate repre-
sensations of plays and operas, at which
he constitutes the whole and sole audi
ence On such evenings even his man
ager, Baron Won Perfall, dares not show
himself in the house, but is COM
PEELED to watch the performance from
behind the scenes. OF the actors and
actresses in these secret performances the
king is severely critical. His favorite
play, Schiller's Jungfrau Won Orleans"
is now never acted, because His Majesty
cannot find any actress who renders the
part of Joan of Arc to his satisfaction,
although the decorations for the separate
presentations of this drama have been
produced at enormous expense of time,
talent and cost The King himself jour
neyed to Rheims in order to secure
the scenery for the coronation in the
Cathedral of Rheims should be accurate
and faultless, and the view of the inter-
ior of the cathedral is said to be a mas
terpiece of decorative painting. The
coronation procession also has been ar
ranged with rare magniicence, wealth
and fidelity to costume il the smallest
detail, and yet, on account of the exact
ing criticism of King Ludwig it is
never placed upon the stage. He has
lost none of his amiability for artists,
and when scene painter or actor has
specially pleased him he rewards them
with gifts of unusual value. Such a
life is strange contrast 10 the active
publicity of our own royal house, and,
indeed, to that of all the other sovereign
Princes within the German Empire.

More american Notes"

Another Englishman has been giving
lean Notes. The Rev. Arthur MurselIY
in the course of lecture delivered in
Northampton, abiding to his landing in
New York, which he described as a
centre of plumber and spoliation, and
cesspool of fostering smells. New York
was the most priest ridden, and there
fore the most neglected of modern civil
lied cities; morally, on the surface, it
was one of the cleanest but behind the
scenes, it was one of the wickedest
cities in the New World. If, however,
the Americans were only in possession
of their own city, it would be in
much better state than it was now.
New York was not an American city; it
was population of liens, overridden by
a crafty and designing priesthood. No
city was more largely taxed than New
York for such trifling accommodation as
paving and sewers, and yet the streets
were like ploughed field after fiost,
and the only drain worth speaking Of
was the continual drain upon the pock-
cts of the ratepayers. A prominent
feature in New York, which at present
distinguished it from other cities in
America, was the elevated railway, than
which greater public convenience and
IA greater private injustice it would be
difficult to imagine The lecturer re-
marked that he would rather walk like
Weston, and give lecture ut the end of
every hundred miles, than ride in an
American railway carriage with the
average American. The stations, or de-
pots, were miserably poor, the refresh
ments were abominable, and the ''pocket
pistol Of the American consisted, not Of
the friendly flask, but of six-shooter
revolver. American travelling was lit
tie cheaper, great deal nastier, and
much slower than travelling in England.
Speaking of Boston, the lecturer said it
was more like an English city, than any
city in America. 1t was much like
Manchester, but much prettier and
cleaney-looking. Speaking of the Amer
lean female medical students and prac-
TONERS he said he would not trust him
self to make one word of comment upon
them. Nothing less than good big
swear would at all relieve his mind on
the subject.

Irving and Moore.

I notice, says the Hermit OF the Troy
Times, that the speaker who graced the
Moore centennial made hardly any allu-
sisn to the affinity which existed between
him and Irving. The latter, indeed, was
the only American author who awoke in
Moore so ardent friendship One rea-
son for this is found in the fact that it
was formed in a time of depression,
when both were in strange land, and
in this manner that endearing sympathy
was established When Moore visited
this country Irving had just sailed on a
voyage to France for his health. He
was then twenty-one, and had written
nothing. Sixteen years afterward Moore
took his family to Paris in order to escape
those difficulties in which he had inno-
Gently fallen, and before he and Irving
first met. One evening the latter at
tended a small sociable at Moore's,
where, as the poet says in his journal,
they had piano music and dancing. The
floor gave way in several places, but this
did not interfere with the gayety of the
occasion. A chalk ring was drawn
around one hole, and similar precautions
were used, SO that no accident occurred.
Occasionally heavy pressure would
start a new crack, but this only IN
creased the merriment, and the party
was really one of delightful character.
Such scene must have been happy in
spite of poverty. Afterwards the two
authors met in England, and became
still more united in general harmony Of
character. Moore entertained Irving at
his cottage, which was then much out Of
repair The advantage of such friend
ship is illustrated by the fact that 1r-
wings influence with the Harper's led
them to pay $1,000 for Moore's Life
of Byron" which fully repaired the cot
tage and afforded the poet great encour-
agement.

TEN YEARS AFTER.

Ten years ago, when she was ten,
1 used to tease and scold her;
I loved her, and she loved me then,
A boy some five years older.
I liked her, she would fetch my book.
Bring lunch to stream or thicket;
Would oil my gun, would bait my hook,
And field for hours at cricket.
She'd mend my cap, or find my whip,
All! but boys hearts are stony!
liked her rather less than Gyp,
And far less than my pony.
She loved ME then, though Heaven knows
why,
Small wonder had she hated,
For scores Of dolls she's had to cry
That decapitated.
tore her frocks, pulled her hair.
Called red the sheen upon it;
Out fishing would even dare
Catch tadpoles in her bonnet.
Well, now expiate my crimes
The Nemesis of fables
Came after years; to-day Old Time
On me has turned the tables.
I'm twenty-five, she's twenty now,
Dark-eyed, pink-cheeked and bonny;
Inc curlS are S0lueu rouuu Aei pAo",
She smiles, and calls me Johnny.
Of yore l used her Christian name,
But now, through fate or malice,
When she is by, my lips can't frame
Five letters to make Alice.
l, who could joke with her, and tease,
Stand silent now before her;
Dumb, through the very wish to please
A speechless, shy adorer.
Or, if she turns to speak,
I'm dazzled by her graces;
The hot blood rushes to nay cheek,
babble commonplace.
She's kind and cool-ah! Heaven knows how
wished she blushed and faltered;
She likes me, and love her now;
Dear, dear! how things have altered!

Thimbles.

At recent meeting Of the British
Archaeological Association,.to statements
made that these articles were Of recent
date, evidence was adduced to show that
they were well known to the Romans.
The earliest examples, however, in Eng
land and North Europe appear to have
been Of leather-one Of that material
being shown. 1t was in use in County
Cork so late as 1920. A large number
of examples of brass, dating from 1900,
were exhibited. They were mostly

century have inscriptions.

story short, Will, l loved her with all
the wild enthusiasm of a boy, and the
mature reason of man. She was far
above me in grace, in beauty and good
ness, but she was gentle as she was fair,
modest and tender.
When 1 told her my story she put her
little white hand in my rough brown
one, and promised to be my wife. Then
she came home to the city, and I added
dollar after dollar to my hoard so as to
follow her. Mr. Nelson wrote to Jo-

Josephine. Slowly she faded before my

That was forty years ago, Will, but l

me-"
As he spoke he put a small locket that
had been hidden in his bosom into Wills
hands. Opening it disclosed the face of
a very beautiful woman. At the sight
of it Will cried
"How much like Floy Hartley p
"Mrs. Hartley is Josephine's sister,"
said Uncle Josh, quietly. snow you
know why I am so fond Of Floy."
There was long silence, and Uncle
Josh knew by Wills face and the firm
grasp of his hand that his story had
fallen upon sympathizing affection.
"Come," he said eheerfully, after a
long pause, IF Miss Holway has actual
ly accepted, l must see about the we'd

'sShe actually has," said VIII, "and

But when the wedding day was fixed,
and Will consulted Uncle Josh about a
house, he was informed that Mrs. Stan.
tons wedding present from her new
uncle would be neat brown stone fully
furnished, including a piano, with one
room reserved for Uncle Josh.
There are children's voices now in the
handsome house, and Uncle Josh has
stood godfather to sturdy namesake.
The sun of prosperity shines upon Will,
but he says his business success, his hap
py home, his freedom from worldly per-
plexities, have all depended upon the
good sense of his wife, who, in all ex-
penditures, all charities, first considers
whether or not she can afford the outlay;
and while she is liberal and large-heart
ed, she is never ashamed to exercise
economy, if necessary, or to decline an
extravaganza.
