Some Fairly Cold Snaps.

Sammy Honnwell, as the two gentlemen

Daddy Wotherspoon looked at him and

irose in the cows. But the cold season was

City and Country Faces.

The difference between ''city" and Their
| country cousins is more marked than most
people believe. The first impression which
man has on finding himself for the first
time IN great city is Of vague excitement
accompanied by sense Of danger The
multiplicity of objects appear fantastic to an
eve accustomed to rural scenery the unin-
termittent noises, the entanged vet purpose
less movements, and. above all, the shifting
panorama Of unfamiliar human faces, com
bne to throw the visitor into state of mind
| totally strange to him. And amid so much
tumultuous life he sees death eyeryw here on
the lookout for victim. But if the visitor
to these strange regions looks at the faces
OF those he meets in search of some refec-
ton of his own perturbation, he looks in
vain. The countenance of the city man, as
he threads his ways along the street, is cu-
riously impassive. At a first glance it ap-
pears also to be unohservant; but this it IS
not. For although he seems to look at
| nothing. It soon becomes eyidcn, that he
sees everything, He mechanically informs
himself, out Of the corner of his eve, of ey-
| erything that might tend to obstruct or
threaten him; and though he passes through
thousand people without encountering the
gaze or treading on the toes of any one of
them. he will recognize an acquaintance OF
| calculate to an inch the rate Of speed at
which he mast make the crossing in order
ia escape the omnibus from one direction
and the truck from the other Doubtless
custom and memory will account for large
part Of it.; yet the impassive face would
probably appear far less impassive than it
does had not the contraction of the facial
muscles brought about by the constant as
saults Of innumerahle impressions and the
impossibility of responding to them all, be,
come 10 d manner fixed. The houses and
the payements, the vehicles and the hubbub,
produce an effect npon these muscles just
the reverse Of that exercised BY the hills
and dales of the country; they press them
instead Of drawing them ou,--in other
words, the mind resist. them instead Of SYM
pathizing With them.

Presidents Messages and Other State
Papers.



Are Nos Read.
Eimira Free Press
On Monday Of this week the Free Press
used eleven Of its columns to put before the
people<the communication sent by Mr.. HAYES
to Congress. The day after that, two col
umn synopsis was printed of John Sherman's $
report concerning the finances of the coun-
try.
To see the effect produced upon the peo-
pie of this locality by these documents since
the DAYS named, three hundred and fifty
persons as they happened to be met living
in this city and neighborhood have been in
terviewed concerning them and each one
tailed. These persons are of all shades of
political opinion, and of all degrees of in-
telligence, and the answers they made to
the questions asked were very curious and
somewhat astonishing
Only seventeen out of the three hundred
and fifty had read the letter of Mr. HAYES,
and two had read Sherman's report Five
had SKINNED over the message and twenty
three had read the portion of il relating TO
the civil service.
OF the seventeen who had read the mes
sage, seven were ladies and one clergy
man. One of them read it because, as he
said, he was forced to do so. He was on a
train on Tuesday night that was blocked in
below Binghampton, and he read il to pass
away the time. Two others were the proof
readers in the newspaper offices and had to
read il. One man said he had laid copy of
the document aside to read it some Sunday.
What the old Harry should read the
message for?" asked one in reply to the
question if he had read it,
why, to get some idea Of the state of
the country, to be sure"
state of the country be blowed, What
does Hayes know about the state of the
country that a man who keeps his eyes open
don't know? Life is too short, nv boy, to
wade through eleven columns of what YOU
know already"
We'll, then, as a specimen of literary
skill
The gentleman who was being interro-
gated put on such blank and frightened
look at this that the inquirer choked of his
question as indicated by the long dash.
No more words were necessary on that
score.
Il used to read Grants messages, some
times, said another one. He was short
and pointed. But | never read any other
presidents remarks, least Of all, Hayes's."
"l ou newspaper men think il a big stroke
Of enterprise" said another "to kill as
YOU call it, lot of live matter and ill up
the space with what no one reads vent
ure to say that no reader Of the Free Press
took It up on Monday evening and seeing
