after-dnner coffee. when an excited
Englishman rushed up to him and cried

the city is to be murdcrcd?" Mr.. Wolf
went on drinking his coffee, apparently
unmoved by these dreadful tidiugs do
you not hear me?' reiterated his agi-
tatcd informant. The fanatics intend
to kill every European and Christian in
Cairo. Yes, hear YOU. quietly res
ponded Mr.. Wolf, ''but | do not see
how that affects me at all, since am
an American and an lsraelite."

The Brooklyn Bridge is now
in sight. Its really no more the
Brooklyn Bridge than the New
York Bridge-nor, indeed, half
so much, for the many millions
which have built it as far as it is
built, and the millions still build
ing it, and the more millions
which are to build it, virtually
come from New York. Brooklyn
is to New York simply a dormi-
tory wherein money-making
brains and bodies repair to sleep
and recuperate themselves for the
next days battle on Wall street
and elsewhere. The moment you
land in Brooklyn you are sensible
of change as compared with
New York. You feel a hundred
miles away. Everything seems
subdued, quiet, toned down. But
be not deceived. This city holds
a great deal ofthe mental strength
of New York. 1t has more of the
real American element than New
York-or at least that element
here makes itself more distinctly
felt. 1t has turned out a foreign
born Mayor and elected Il young
representative American" who
really seems trying to act con-
scientiously, independently and
honestly. 1t contains Il splendid
park, where people may walk and
roll on the grass if they like, and,
unlike Central Park, is kept for
use-not show.
Central Park is a rich mans
park-a system of walks from
which you look over hundreds of
acres with "keep off the grass
ever in sight and a policeman to
club you if ever you get thereon
"a place visited on Sunday by
&c, 1000 or $4,000 weary people,
for there are seats for no more
than 1000.
1t contains a most distressed and
ramshackle menagerie of wild
and tame animals, whose misery
is so apparent that Bergh, the
horse humanitarian, advised the
other day hat they either be
turned loose or killed for pure
humanity's sake. 1t contains an
old stone, brought from Egypt,
and presented to the city by the
richest man in America, being
typical in GOODNESS and hcaviness
of his own heart and head. This
park holds also some monuments
of local poets, who, Il hundred
years hence, will be occasionally
sought for and resurrected by
antiquarians out OF the cyclopedias
OF 1892. 1t is really a beautiful
park-to die in-and much sought
after by suicides. Its police are
strict in preserving all the propri-
cites, and men have been dubbed
off the grounds for putting their
arms around the waists of their
own wives, although this is such a
| phenomenal and uncommon
occurrence that it can hardly be
expected ola simple policeman,
actuated by a rigid sense of duty
and morality(as all New York
politically appointed policeman
are) to view it otherwise than in
the light Of a social and publicim

of caricature with the Berlin

disaster in his life-the Toss of his

war. He regards Prince Bis

and therefore as his sons murder
