Queer Plans 10 Attract Customers.
The custom Of placing some odd
things on exhibition in show window
in order to attract q crowd is growing
among shopkeepers in this city. A re-
porter who went about taking notes of
these devices saw great many queer
and amusing sights. A big Vesey street
tea store has a perch above its windows,
on which fiutters snow.white cocka-
too, which screams 80 loudly that 1t can
be heard block away. Its tones never
fail to draw crowd. A Nassau street
cigar dealer displays in his window q
long ladder made of single copy of q
morning newspaper, without any join
ing work or paste Passers-by examine
il cuFiously, and slanghsat the sign be-
meath reading: "H you can't make
one like it, what you can do is-smoke

consisting of an open-iaced, stem-wind-
ing silver watch. There is always
crowd in front Of the window looking
at the ticking cane. A Third avenue
egg and butter dealer has q hen and
brood Of chickens in his show window,
picking among the fresh eggs. A
Broadway liquor-dealer has q lot of
prairie chickens in his window. A
Third avenue liquor-dealer has an
American eagle in his window, and a
Broadway liquor-dealer keeps a pair of
beautiful Maltese cats shut up in his
show window. A Sixth avenue bird
fancier has a parrot which whistles
tunes and can speak over a hundred
different sentences distinctly. The
dealer says the parrot is worth Sc day
to him as an advertisement.
An uptown bootblack has a trained
dog that will splash mud over pedestri--
ans boots.
A Fourteenth street tailor has hung
up in his window string of curiosities.
The bottom of the string suspends what
looks like bunch of gray cotton bat
ting. Above it hangs something that
resembles cloth soup tureen. Further
above is sort of Aladdin's lamp made
of black cloth. The apex of this pyra-
mid of euriosities is a kind of black
cloth bowl, with gaudy brass orna-
ments. Lest the spectator should not
know what TO make of the lot, the
dealer has hung out sign. "The new

with his hands supporting his chin, and
his arms firmly braced on his knees.
He is drawing with might and main on
a desperate looking cigar. On the back
of his neck is big plaster. At the
feet of the figure is placard reading
1--WE don't sell this kind of cigar.

cigar-dealer draws a crowd about his
door by displaying original sketches of
public men and events drawn with
colored chalk on huge sheet of brown

Two Cents for All Letters.

The Presidents views concerning
the reduction of the rate of postage to
two cents are firmly expressed. His ar
guments in favor o., the reduction are the
same as have already been repeatedly
urged by the advocates of the lower
rate. But nothing will be lost by again
calling the attention of the Lawmakers
to the fact that the revenue Of the
Post Office Department is steadily
growing, and that there is now sur
plus in the hands Of the postmaster
general, but that the policy of the Gov
eminent has never been to treat the
postal service as a source Of
income; that domestic letters
have been less favorably ,cOnsid-
cred in all schemes for the reduction of
postage than any other class of mail
matter; that although the reduction of
rates on former occasions has been fol-
lowed by deficiency in the accounts
of the department, the growth in
bulk of business has soon made good the
loss and that experience has confirmed
the strength Of the,prediction that re-
duction of letter rates would be stimu-
to sealed correspondence, and so in
crease Tile NOluuC Vi ACLCCLo % SOAPSA
ed with postal cards and open circulars.
The country can well afford to pay
higher rates on merchandise matter, If
it be found necessary to establish them
in order to cover the possible deficiency
accruing through the reduction OF let
ter rates. But IL is not clearly apparent
that advanced rates on any class OF
matter will be demanded. If the esti-
mate that $1,000, 900 will cover the de-
ficiency in the first year oftne establish
ment of twO-cent letter rate be based
on reasonable premises, it is quite as
fair to assume, ON the same premises,
that the subsequent deficiencies would
crow small by degrees, and finally dis
appear in, saw, four years, without any
addition to the tax for the carriage of
matter in any other class.

There is q man in this city who is con-

into the country and buys few car loads
of potatoes or anything else that he thinks
he can turn to advantage. The other day
he gathered together every cash dollar he
had, and borrowed all the spare money that
a merchant friend of his had, the whole
sggregating quite large sum Of money,
with a view 10 a speculative trip with
plenty. That night he was very careful TO
see that all the doors and windows in the

THE ingenious finale of Mr. Stockton,s

printed in the November Century, has set
numerous people at work writing the
seoual-or, rather, the sequels. for the
manuscripts received by the publishers OF

At q social meeting in Baltimore, an ami

for the lady and six for the tiger, and one
of the gentlemen present was deputed TO
request the author to give the casting vote:
Mr.. Stockton, however, yields nothing OF
