The Hotel Waiter.
As Seen BY the esrexas sif,iupsp Man.

ms seen py the "IeXaS SntIHgSN Man.
The hotel waiter is aman whose busi-
ness is to make YOU wait for your meals
unless YOU give him half dollar 10 en-
courage him in making fast record
The hotel waiter in the South is col
ored man, who can make haste more
slowly than any other creature on earth
Like the waiter that he carries the dish
es on, he is black and polished. If YOU
place half a dollar on the aforementioned
waiter, it makes an impression on the
other waiter He is called waiter be-
cause he is supposed to wait on the
guest. (the waited,) but the latter is
really the waiter.
AS soon as the waiter has got Won in
chair, he hands you the bill of fare,
and assumes an expression of counten-
nance that is calculated to create the
impression that he anread. The mem
DRY of the average waiter is extraortli-
nary. Some say that il is because. like
some mems consciences, it is never used;
but that is not so. 1t is wonderful to
see him standing solemnly and respect
fully attentive behind adrummer's chair.

with tomato sauce; onions; lima beans;

1t is still more wonderful to see the
waiter return, after an absence of forty
five minutes during which time the
drummer drinks three glasses of ice-wa-
ter), with an entirely different aSsort-
ment of food. This is where evidences
of his wonderful memory shine forth
like parlor-match in deep pantry.
He remembers to forget everything.
Forgot it, sab; very sorry, sah,'' the
waiter says, as he hands you the mus
tard and smiles in q conciiatorv way
And that brings us to smiles.
The colored waiter is all smiles He
smiles on the slightest provocation,
whereas the white waiter of the North
never smiles. The ordinary colored
waiter sometimes becomes a head-wait-
er, after which he never smiles, but,
with arms folded n la Napoleon on the
Island of St. Helena, assumes solemn
and dignified position in the middle of
the dining-rOOm.

Dorsey's letter to President Garfield pub
lished the other day is an interesting con
tribution to the political literature of the
day. The Star route chief expresses his
views with refreshing vigor and makes no
bones about calling spade spade. 1t is
certainly curious that the very policy Dor
sey wanted Garfield to pursue, has been
followed to the letter by President Arthur.
The Star route senator denounced the plan
of having McVeagh and James in the cab
met, and as soon as Arthur comes into
power both gentlemen were promptly
squelched. He thought that Folger would
be proper man TO represent New York in
the cabinet and Arthur makes him secre-
tary of the treasury. So iG would seem
that this all but convicted thief is shaped
ing the policy of the present republican
administration

The wsol clip of the United States, now

portant item in the nations wealth. The
imports were only 81 100000 against 107,
100000 in 1880. The supply for the mills,
so far as these figures show, for each of
the past two years was about equal. or say
of foreign and domestic about 35O, 00o,-
600 pounds. To this may be fairly added
an equal amount of cotton, shoddy.

Romance on Shnhoard.

'Margery Deane." in her pleasant
Dock, European Breezes,'' tells the fol-
lowing little love story:
Every ship has its romance. You feel
that your fellow-passengers are bound
to contribute to your entertainment and
amusement, and therefore you have no
scruples or computations at watching
any love-making going on. Who was
TO blame when. sitting idly on the deck.
one night, we heard above the noise of
the screw this deliciously frank avowal,
made by young German to an Ameri-
can girl, possessed, possibly, of fascina-
tons, rather than positive beauty?
'tMein Liebling. thought me never /
could lofe one madchen who is not beau
tiful; but / lofe YOU" Is it so they
make love in the vaterland?
But coming home we had genuine
romance on board. Among the passen-
gers was demure little German maid
en-, yeritable Gretchen, with her blonde
tresses la Marguerite. She knew not
a word of English, and was with her
aunt, also German, but whose home
was in America. This aunt, growing
confidential, told us soon after starting,
that she was bringing her niece to
America for a year, at the request of
her parents, who wished her TO forget
lover upon whom her heart was set, but
of whom they did not approve because
of his lack of wealth and title. The
aunt had never seen this lover, and
could not describe him to us; but she
evidently meant to do her duty and full
fill her trust. Now, this maiden, with
her firm little mouth, reserved and ST.
lent, did not look as wretched as she
ought to have done under such circum-
stances; but we concluded it was be-
cause of her nationality. She had our
sympathy.
There was man. tall and stern ard
scholarly, among US, whose English ws.s
broken, and who showed little DISPOSE
ton to be social, till on the third day,
when. the purgatory of the NAL de alaer
being safely through. he begged the
aunt to present him to the little Fraulein.
This she did readily, and the acquaint-
ance ripened into an intimacy. This
pleased the aunt. who coniided again in

its contents over the fearful paper, de-

an hour. This done, he mounted his
horse and escaped into Steuben County
