TheLucky Tramp.

Virginia (Nev.) ChrOn1clel.
A rather intelligent looking, though poorly
dressed young man entered Trittle & Cos
office this forenoon and asked for employment.
eff you can't give me work yourself" he
said, perhaps you can get me something to do
elsewhere
Scan you keep books?' asked Book-keeper
Ryan.
"No, SIR"
"Can you figure pretty rapidly?"
"No, sir" answered the young man flushing
painfully.
"Have you learned trader"
With increased confusion the applicant for
employment owned that he hadn't.
"What can you do, then?" demanded Mr..
Ryan.
"Well, can play the fiddleP'
"I don't know what use broker could make
of fiddle in his business" said Mr.. RYAN,
thoughtfully. "Do you Sinc.?" he asked Of
Mr.. Barnes, of Candelara, who was an inter-
ested listener to the dialogue.
sWell," replied Mr.. Barnes scratching his
back with slow comfort ON the conner of the
ticket shelf, at might be good thing to cheer
up the boys when they come in to look at the
| list. Depends good deal on how he makes
the fdd1e5 show up. Got your instrument
handy?''
| fI'i get it in . minute" cried the young
| man, and darting out he returned in moment
| with green bag. After preliminary scrape
| or two, 7tLannigan's Ball' was drawing null
titude of flattened noses against the glass door
"Did you ever take course in a musical in
stitute?" inquired Mr.. Barnes.
"No, sir :" replied the pleased musician.
"That's pity" said Mr.. Barnes. "What
q barn-burner with the fiddle you'd be il
you only had education. DO you like tc
| travel?'
"If had the means I'd like to-" answered
the bewildered young man.
| "All right" said Sinc., taking off his hal
and dropping dollar into 1t. "Ante, gentle
! men,"
| Mr.. Barnes handed over the collection, and
speaking kindly, said:
"Take the coin, young fellow, and go to Gold
| Hill. Give 'em q tune when this is gone, and
they'll send you on to Carson. A man who can
| play the fiddle like you, oughtn't to have any
trouble in travelling in style over the whole
world. Don't try Reno, though. They're
jokers down there, and go more ON tar thar
collections"
Sounds Of excitement are heard in the direc
tion of Gold Hill as the Chronicle goes tt

A Suburban Night Train in Paris.

The midnight train from Paris to st. Ger
main which puffs out of the st. Lazare station,
freighted with returning suburban residents, is
one of the institutions of the gay capital. The
theatres contribute their quota to the passen-
ger list both comedians and audience, diners
out, and ladies in evening costume, cunningly
dissemblsd under the prosaic ulster, Journal
lists, literary men and artists of every descrip-
ton, meet night after night in the waiting
room of the station. The society formed under
such circumstances is naturally an intimate
one, but a stranger in the outskirts of the
charmed circle is made to feel the keenest
to the ceaselesS gable in his vicinity He sees
nearly all the theatrical celebrities of Paris.
The dreamy-eyed gentleman, with melancholy
brow and beard streaked with silver, is the old
ballet-master of the Circus and the Chatelet
and author of the "Sept Chateaux du Diable."
Berton and Boisselet come from the Vaude-
vile, the former restless, with a quick, ner-
vous step and a near-sighted contraction OF the
eyelids, the latter, calm with all the imposing
Palais Royal, is enveloped in a comfortable pal
etot, his nose, veritable proboscis, protrud-
ing into space beyond the friendly shelter OF
his sombrero. Pauline, Of the fiery looks, is a
danseuse Of the Chatelet whose admirers have
endured for her sake the charge OF being en-
gagged in the culture OF the glowing carrot!
While Antonine of the Odeon, extends foot
of Chinese dimensions over the furnace regis
ter, and Theresa, the genius OF rowdylsm
smiles complacently in the background, an au-
dible summons from the conductor announces
the moment of departure. An instant of con-
fusion ensues, the seats in the carriages are
promptly filed the engine gives piercing
shrek, and the "12:3S" slowly glides out OF the
station.
