Keen-Eyed.

A poor lad living near Philadelphia
was invited a couple of wears ago, by a
wealthy friend in town, to dine with
him. Among the dishes new TO him on
the table, he noticed that one which he
particularly relShed was set down on
the mc,au us "Fiiet de buafatr champig-
nonSn
A sharp scrutiny showed him that the
"champignons" were only mushrooms,
such as he had sometimes gathered on
the sheep walks. These. however, us
his friend explained To him, were Of u
finer quality, and had been cultivated
and canned in France. They sold at
retail, his friend explained to BIN rcadi-
~, at sixty cents u can.
Strolling through the marGct the next
day, the boy saw one or two quart bask-
cts OF native mushrooms marked ut the
same price
rs there much demand for these
things?" he asked. We do not think
much of them in the country"
''rhey are considered rare delicacy,'
said the man. "But only epicureS can
afford to buy them,
The lad passed on with anew thought
in his brain. WHY could he not grow
mushrooms? He was poor. to be sure,
and had little time TO spare from his
regular work, and had no land. Here
was crop which he had been told could
be raised in cellar; one for which there
was already n demand which cnuldeaSi-
~ be increased. and no supply
He went home and during the next
few weeks read every book he could
find on mushrooms, laid ont beds in Il
back cellar, manufactured his spawn
with few old mushrooms and the ma
nure heap, and last falsijled the market
with his boxes of tiny silyery buttons;
bluShing, delicate pink.
They were of precisely the same quail
ity rs the French canned champignons.
only they were dewy, fresh and sold at
twenty cents. Epicures eagerly filled
their baskets, and others who never had
tasted them, in the prevailing high
prices of all kinds of food, tried the new
cheap vegetable and came again and
again
The crop fairly took the market, am
the hoy has already laid by snug sum
towards going To college. How many
boys would have munchcd champignons
and while eating have thought only of
the taste,
This lad win be sure TO succeed; not
because he makes lucky hits but be-
cause he has the keen eye to SEGA public
need. and the energy TO meet its de-
mands.

Mr.. Nye Embarrassed.

There was an entertainment at Lara
mic a few evenings ago, at which the
guests appeared in such costumes as
their taste suggested. The following
win give some idea Of the occasion:
Mr.. Nye wore Prince Albert coat
with the tails caught back with red yarn,
and homemade sunfowers. He also
wore a pair of velvet knee breeches
which, during the evening, in an I'M
guarded moment, split up the side about
nine feet. This, together with the fact
that one of his long black stockings got
caught on the top of a window cornice,
tearing small hole in it. letting out the
sawdust and baled hay with which he
was made up. seemed to cast gloom
over the countenGnce of this particular
e1lest. With one large, voluptuouS calf,
and the other considerably attenuated'
Mr.. Nye seemed more or less embarrass-

Renorso and Suicide.

A YOUNG MAN sTABs HIMSELF THROUGH THE
HEART IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS SWEET
HEART.
Henry Hocbschwender, Il young German,
who has been but two weeks in the coun-
try, stabbed himself to the heart "Wednesday
night in the presence OF his sweetheart,
Marguerite Reeger, at No. 90 Montrose
avenue, Williamsburg. Iochschwender
was twenty wears OF age. He was native
Of Mannheim, i'm Baden, and was the son
OF well-to-do parents. Recently he deter
mined 10 come TO this country to seek his
fortune, and he induced tlargarethe Rec

him. The pair arrived in this city two
weeks ago, and young Hochschwender OBJ
tanned lodging-place at No. 101 Seventh
street, while Miss Reeger went over to
Williamsburg, where she secured board
with some friends at No. 60 MontrOse ave.
nue.. When the couple landed in New
York Miss Reeger had $40 left. This sum
she gave TO IIochschwender, with the un-
derstanding that he was to obtain employ
ment as soon rs possible and marry her.
Last night the Young man went over to
Williamsburg and told the girl that he had
spent all the money she gave him, and had
not yet obtained a position OF any kind.
He seemed so detected that the girl at.
tempted to comfort him, and said that she
had already made arrangements to go tc
service. and that if he would have pa.
thence she would endeayor to use her in
fluence to get employment for him in vii.
liamsburg. and that with their united
earnings they could soon save up com.
Portable sum on which to marry. This
seemed to put the young man in better
spirits. and other subjects were talked Of
when suddenly, and without word o.
warning, he drew Il large dirk~knife from
his pocket. unshcathed it, and plunging il
deep into his heart fell dead at the girls
feet.
Miss Reeger's screams aroused the othcl
occupants OF the house and the police were
| called in. Coroner Parker, when notified

A Becr-yat ExpIodes with Fatal Re-
Gss1ts

4 singular accident occurred on Belair
avenue yesterday, which resulted in the
death OF a five-year-old daughter of Mr..
Schuchman, brewer. About half-past 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon Amelia
Schuchman came ont OF the house and
went TO the yard OF the brewery, where she
had been in the habit OF going TO play.
Several workmen were engaged lining a
lager-becr vat with pitch in order to
make it water-tight. They first melted
the pitch, and, after placing it in
the vat, rolled il about so that il
would reach all parts of the interior. The
child was standing few feet from the
workmen watching the operation. sud

ploded and sent the slaves flying in every
direction. swapping in twain the heavy
iron bands which bound the vat. One OF
the slaves, or perhaps an iron hoop, struck
the child on the right side OF the head and
face. killing her instantly, and scattering a
part of her brains upon the ground. The
child was Immediately carried TO her home,
on the opposite side of the street, and Dr.
Martinez summoned, and he declared life

by Surgeons Gibson and Reed, who, ut

upon Mason in his cell for the purpose of
examining the wound received by him
