NeW OTh. REQ. ID. 1907.
We've been having a little more
snow in these parts. 1t came on
kind of sudden and caught some
folks mapping. For instance, the
wide-awake fellows on Austin Cor
bins Long Island Railroad managed
to pooh-pooh the drifts till they got
stuck from end to end of their line,
and within five miles of Gotham had
no less than nine trains stalled close
together. Fires went out, and there
were 'dead' engines the stoves in
the cars went out, and it was more
by good luck than good guidance that
there weren't some dead men and
women. Some faced the blizzard
and plunged home with the results of
frost bites and rheumatism. Others
stayed starving in the cars all night,
like wrecked sailors on an inaccessi-
BILE reef, while six horse sleighs gal
lantly appeared at midnight, like life
boats to succur the distressed women.
Yes-we've had snow and also a
thaw. We shan't easily forget
either.
When mans dead, | suppose it
really doesn, matter what becomes of
the shell the soul used to inhabit.
Still, there are prejudices even among
the rudest savages as to a more or
less decorous disposition of it. A
poor immigrant girl not long ago lost
her only brother, who had gone to
look for work, She haunted the Of
fees of those who might possibly
give her news of his fate. At last,
at the morgue, she recognized his
handkerchief and claimed the body,
only to find that it had been buried
weeks before. After great deal of
trouble she was allowed to have it
disinterred, and there was funeral.
At the grave side she wanted fare
well look of the remains of her brother.
There was difficulty about that, and
an inspection of the corpse showed
why. 1t was not the girls brother at
all, who had been drowned two
monthes ago, but fresh victim that
had been dead two days. Our model
savages had given her a body to
bury, just to stop her noise, as one
might give a dog bone or a small
child a doll, and hadn't taken the
trouble even too look for the right
one. 1t is likely enough the brutes
couldn't have found it, having dump
ed it promiscuously with others, and
being too lazy to record exactly
where.
The sporting Gothamite has had
reason to rejoice in the victory of
Slosson over the French billiard cham
pion, and to mourn the defeat in the
ring of Paddy Ryan by Boston
pug. There was interesting reading
in the papers the day after the mill,
and your Radix observed the instinct
with which everybody turned to the
record of the disgraceful affair. The
more respectable man, looked the
more certain was it to find him lin

gering over the shocking details. 1t
is fashionable, nowadays, to de-
nounce boxing, and no doubt the
gatherings of the clans of thieves and
and rowdies are as criminal as by the
laws of several States they are now
declared to be. Still, there's a spice
of the sport in even the staidest of
deacons and dominies, else why did
the old boys read all about the fight?
Farmers have been having a good
time with delegations and conven-
tons, and so forth. A lot of them
went over to Jersey the other day to
Mr.. Theodore Havemeyer's model
farm. 1t is as neat as a millinery
store, and the agriculturists were
deeply interested in the inspection of
his immense silos. This ensilage, or
preservation of compressed green
crops has been proved to be grand
success, and the practice will no
doubt rapidly extend now that fact
is established.
The detectives who gathered in the
the young ''tough," whose murder of
an inoffensive French eating-house
keeper l referred to in my last, have
turned over the amount of the re-
ward offered, $500, to the widow,
very graceful act which your Radix,
who sometimes feels forced to say
some deserved hard things of our po-
lice, is very glad to be able to recog-
nize. There never was a better bit
of detective work than the tracing of
these murderers.
The New York Yacht Club, who
first set the fashion of brass binbing
for civilian but qudsi-military cos
umes, have become disguised with
their being mistaken for policemen,
hotel porters, post office clerks, or
members of smaller yacht clubs, and
have decided to abolish brass buttons
and gold lace. 1t is quite possible
they may go further and abolish uni
form altogether. This is more in ac-
cordance with Anglo-SaXon instinct,
than the idea of being fgged out in
bogus war paint on every considera-
BILE opportunity. Russians, Germans
and French, entitled to wear uni
form, live in it all the time, 90 to
sleep in it, even, sometimes, while
an English officer casts off the garb
of the battle field and parade ground,
as if it scorched him, and indues him
| self in ''mufti'' or ''plains.'' 1t is a
good move, and we hope getting rid
Of this nonsense will tend to revive
the old salt water traditions of the
club, more ocean races and long
? cruises and fewer smooth-water pro-
cessions with awnings, ladies and
: champagne.
Sir Henry Parkes, the premier of
New South Wales, is here. He

At North Danville, the other day,
a house came near being destroyed
by fire originating in a remarkable
manner. Upon table near the win
dow, were left common stereoscope
and package of tissue paper dress
patterns. 1t seems that the rays of
the sun striking the lens of the ster-
eoscope, were brought to focus
upon the tissue paper which was ig-
nited. Some of the burning pieces
fell to the floor, thus setting the car
pet on fire.
