is that the axe and the helve, as Puck
puts it, have come together again,
and labor and capital have made up
their minds that if they don't work
together to cord up the wood, there'll
be some shivering in winter. One of
the funniest of the strikes was in the
Herald Office. 1t lasted IS minutes
and the "Chapel" won. A proof
reader, copyholder and compositor
were summarily fined for some blum
der. The last rebelled, saying the
two others should have called his at
tention to it, and was discharged.
Result sympathetic revolt crowned
by victory as above.
Some of our leading citizens, be-
sides Bennett, who is disgusted with
the country where he makes his mon
ey and has gone to the Azores in his
new steam yacht with a party of
friends, are suffering from sad lack
of veneration on the part of some
who are not leading citizens. That
unfortunate Andre monument has
finally been sent to everlasting smash
at Tappan, and cruel caricature of
the great and good Cyrus w. Field,
who erected it, was found suspended
on pole beside the fragments, rep
resenting him SIS. Per COL with an in
scription "He is not dead out sleep
eth. First in peace, first in patriot
ism and first in the pockets Of his
countrymen. Mr.. Field had sailed
for Europe when this outrage oc-
Cured, and it is supposed will never
come back any more. Perhaps be
made a Marquis. He has made mon
ey enough to support the dignity. Y
Even inanimate representatives of
dignity have been pitched into. A
sailor was arrested the other day for
firing at the statue Of Justice on the
top of the City Hall. He explained
that he was saluting her with blank
cartridge, but he was found in bad
company and was locked up. The
cheerful crowd with him was COM
posed of tramps, who had been guy
ing a fat policeman, and going
through some religious ceremonies
before broom stick dressed in what
was intended to represent a police
mans clothes, all in the sacred pre-
cincts of the park.
Then the delightful, gilded youth,
whose fathers made money by oil or
shoddy, or some such way, and who
make money for tailors and jewellers
by their superb, numerous and varied
rigs, and sporting goods purveyors,
by their unlimited purchases of guns,
horses, polo equipments, etc., have
been evil entreated by that old enemy
of the nobs and snobs, Capt. Williams.
He is back again in the old peculiar
precinct, which is so peculiar that all
strangers should keep clear of, but
which singularly enough, most stran-
gers steer right for-that great pre-
cinct where the, tiger RACES and the
great ante-Jumbo elephant waves his
prehensile trunk, and gathers EN- in.
The Racquet Club is here situated,
an exclusive affair supported by the
very tip-top toniest of the G. Y. afore-
said. Its location, so say their enc
mics, having been determined from
its proximity to the chosen pastures
for their normal nocturnal pleasures.
1t has gymnasium, and also bed
rooms for some Of the members,
handy to roll into after singing mer-
rily in adjacent juniper groves in the
wee, sma' hours. Well, three Of the
"bloods," one of them easily attired
in buff and dressing gown, having
Just taken bath, were dining, when
in rushed their frightened waiter and
a policeman who said the darkey was
wanted for an alleged theft. The
gentlemen were Mortified at the intru-
sion and remarking that the man
should not be made prisoner with
out a warrant, proceeded to make a
prisoner of the captor. He yelled
something out of the window which
