The Work Of a Dream.

Train No. 6 from Memphis was within
ten miles of New Orleans Negro Tom,
on his way to buy bananas, was sound
asleep, as were both the conductor and
brakesmen. The engine pulled heavily,
and the long gray moses moved ike
funeral plumes in the leaden clouds OF
steam that chung to the earth. Tom was
dreaming, frightful railroad accident
was going on in his brain and he was
fighting it out all alone with wrecked
and burning train across his heavlig
chest. Suddenly he sprang to his feet
with terrible yell and shouted: Muir
Ter. murder, we're killed! we're killed!
the train is off the track" With wild
bound he sprang through the open door
and fell headlong in a green scummed
lagoon. At this instant the conductor
and brakeman, hearing the alarm,
started half awake and sprang also from
the car.
They snooacd no more; they were wide
awake. Three men, like fools, stood III
mui and water up to their waists and
the train went laundering on. The
cloud of vapor slowly raised in the mos;

Chinese In New York.

The New York correspondent of the

more about money than about religion.
One of the charges against the Chinese,
by the way that they don't marry-is
not quite true. Some of them do
marry-when they can get white wives.
A Chinaman and q white girl went to
the Mayors Office the other day and
were made man and wife. A short time
before another Chinaman and white
woman, who appeared as his wife, were
in the police court to settle a row about
the name of their baby. The taste of

What Came of Having a Roof Tarred

A FOston man, so says paper pub

the Il of his house tarred the other day,
and when six or seven cats got on to it,
the following night, they could yell and
arch their backs and try to get pull on
all four feet at once, but they couldn
lift themselves free and their signing
was frightful, and people in the neigh
borhood began to cluck things at them,
and the owner of the house forgot about
the tar, and went barefoot and in his
oobe de mutt upon the roof to chase them

rouldn't stir, and began to whoop and
swear, and policeman gotta ladder and
climbed on the roof, and when he came
up over the edge on his hands and
knees, he had to remain IN that posture
and he used very emphatic language.
Meantime the boot-jacks were falling in

Wien the blacksmith gives The any
quick, light blows, it j. signal to H.
helper to use the slcgde, or to strik'
quicker.
The force of the blow given by tho
blacksmith's hammer indicates the force
of the blow it is required to give the
slcdgc.
The black,mi his helper is supposed
to strike the work in the middl- of the
width of the anvil and as this requires
to be varied the blacksmith indicates
where the slcdgc blows are to fall by
touching the required spot with his
hand hammer.
If the slcdge is required to have
lateral motion while descending, the
blacksmith indicates the same to the
heI per by delivering hard hammer blows
in which the hand hammer moves in the
direction required for the sIcdge to
move.
If the blacksmith delivers a heavy
bow upon the work and an intermediate
blow upon the anvil, it denotes that
heavy blows are required,
II there a,c two or more helpers the
blacksmith strikes blow between each
helpers sIcdge hammer blow, the object
being merely to denote where the sledge
blows are to fall
When the blacksmith desires the
slcdge blows to cease, he lets the hand
hammer head fall upon the anvil and
continue its rebound on the same until
it ceases.
Thus the movements Of the hand ham
mcr constitute signals to the he lp,r, and
what appear dcsultory bows to the
common observer, constitute the com
munication between the blacksmith and
his helper.

The most noticeable person although
none could be less conspicuous writes
the Paris correspondent of the Chicago
Inter- Deem, among the frequenters of
the reading room is Mr.. Ryan, the
Heralds Paris correspondent. Mr. Ryan
is usually busy at work at desk in the
office. As every visitor passes this desk
before ascending the stairs to the region
of newspapers, he or she receives a cool
glance from the handsome gentleman
who looks upon every human being as a
farce that may be played upon the stage
of the world for the benefit of the New
York HeratL The next breath the
passer-by is forgotten, like Il bursted
soap-bubble, and the correspondent goes
on writing what all the HeraH office
frequcnters will read after it has twice
crossed the Atlantic. Mr.. Ryan is ap-
parently about forty-eight years of age
He has cool, blue eyes, an American
complexion, and a blonde mustachc,
once, perhaps golden, now well mixed
with silver. He has none of the brisk,
busincss-like look and manner Of the
typical American, but a dignifcd re-
pose of bearing of one for whom life has
no goads or pricks and stings, and to
whom the world is only spectacle at
which he amuses himself, or a drama
that he calmly criticises. The voice, f
it ever possessed any o the shrillnes5 of
our national eagle scream, has lost it
entirely, and is as rich and full as if
nourished for generations ON British
beef and beer. Generally in the Office
he wears a close velvet cap, in which he
is gravely and senatorially picturesque
enough to be a portrait of Titan; while
at other times lie wears an immaculate
stovc-pipe, like a Titan portrait with
modern Improvements, or one of the
handsomest and Toryest members of the
British House of Lords.

Living at Hotels.

The fondness of Americans for living
at hotels has often been commented on
by Europeans, particularly by English
men, who rarely stay at Il hotel except
when travelling, and who almost never
make it home. Within two or three
years n new kind of hotel known AS the
private family hotel, has sprung up in
the city, and has proved so popular that
it is certain to multiply. Hotels of this
stamp are new to the country, and as
unlike our great tccming caravansaries
as they well can be and rotain the same
name. They receive no transient people:
their rooms are divided into suites,
usually rented by the year, and often
furnished by the occupant. There is Il
regular restaurant, at which the patrons
take their meals leach family, or set at
n small table, always rcscrved) payinga
fixed price, generally SlI week for each
person. The suites for one or two com
monty consist of aparlor or sitting-room,
a bed chamber and bathroom; but they
are larger, of course, when intended for
Il family. Most of the patrons are
married couples who have no children,
or whose children have grown up or are
away at school, though some families
with small children like these hotels AS
well as private houses, and say they have
the best advantages. There are at
present six or seven hotels here, all in or
near Fifth avenue, and they are 50 much
that they are continually full,
except, of course, in summer, when their
renters are out of town. They seem
destined to become favorite mode of
living. They are not cheap; nothing
good or deirablc ever is cheap, but they
ire not very dear, as these things 60.
They are rather less expensive than The
,reat hotels would be, and have far more
comfort for anybody who cares for quiet.

At the Dor show

For those interested in the study of human
nature aud physiognomy the dog show pro-
vides a quantity of material. 1t is not only
the fine field dogs, with points which delight
sportsmcn, the faithful Trays, the fierce
hounds and the saucy toy breeds that amuse,
but the groups of men and women who go
from stall to stall. The fancier, with gait and
manner so characteristic; the grooms, who are
all amateur dog breeders; the women who arc
devotees to doglesh, are studies for the
caricature artist, and would fill port
folio with sketches. The straight.laced
maidens of uncertain age, ana the gushing
girls, crnkled to the eyes with expectoration
curls all seem bent on winning recognition
from the animals oil exhibition. The dog show,
which was an experiment a few years ago, and
but timidly attended by ladies, is now feature
of spring entertainments. 1t has caused great
Improvement in useful dogs aud in strains de-
sirable for pets. Besides the yelping canines--
