A Sea Cows Untimely Fate.

Fulton Market was all agog Saturday
owe the arrival of a live manatee. He
came through in a special from the
Amazon River, and seemed robust.
But ere he drew his second Whit of
Fulton Market air his gentle spirit had
taken its lark-like flight to a better
land. Not lost in storms nor hidden
behind a cloud, he melted away in the
light of a clear sky. The air of the
market killed him. And no wonder.
The stranger who pokes his nose into
a stratum of that air always regrets it.
He shifts the delicate flavor of the far
reaching Bermuda, inhales the aroma
of the loud-smelling Limburger, mixed
with the odor of bilious Calls liver.
So it was with the manatee. He
passed quietly through the onion
stratum, but on reaching the second
he paused and painted. He had been
brought up all his life on the Amazon,
where only vegetation is rank; but to
be suddenly transported to a place
where everything was rank was alto
gether too much for his delicate con-
stitution. He shook a sad good-by
from his dorsal fin, Topped twice, and
with muffled oar silently rowed to the
other shore. Great beads of sadness
stood on the foreheads of the fisher
men. They packed him in the ice and
over his remains they sang a dirge and
quoted Shakespeare's well-known line,
''the fish is oft inferred with his bones"
or words to that effect.
The manatee or ''sea-cow" is nearly
extinct. This one is, anyway. There
are three varieties of them known, and
a great many of them known to be I'M
known. The animals of the variety
that formerly lived in the Polar Sea are
all dead.
1t is said that they died in trying to
masticate the bark they had Clipped off
the North Pole. However that may be
they are unanimously dead. Animals
of still another variety have been
caught in the Eastern Archipelago and
called the dugong. They were caught
supposed. All but n slipped through
the fog and escaped. The one turned
informer and was extradited.
They are sometimes called sssea-
COWS" or ''cow-fish," by ancient
mariners who tell strange stories about
the ocean diaries supplied with milk by
them. They look like seals, but have
no hair. Their skin resembles polished
I~ndia-rubber. The specimen on ex-
hibition in Fulton Market weighed 1O1
pounds and was four feet six inches in
length. 1t is rumored that a set of
false teeth was found in his stomach.
His remains were sent to the Smith
sonian Institute at Washington, where
he will be skinned, his skeleton ex-
tracted and set up for exhibition. What
ever is left of him after this work has
been done will be returned to Fulton
Market and possibly sold for shad roe
or tripe.-M Y. Tribune.

A BEAUTIFUL CHARITY.

A summer morning, cool and fair;
A whisper soft in thesunny air,
And a sound of ripping laughter.
A distant patter of dancing feet;
A chorus of eager voices sweet,
And a happy silence after.
A motley, merry crowd of youth,
With garments ragged and worm, forsooth,
But n Ger u step that fingers.
Lads an ! lasses in laughing bands,
Babies that hold to guiding hands,
With cinging, anxious fingers.
Faces merry, or grave, or sad.
Lit up with expectation glad
Where are the children going2
away from dust, n noise, and heat,
The bustling city's narrow street,
With crowded life o~'erflowing.
To Sunny fields of daisied grass,
Where DOL the ftful breezes pass
Above the blossoms leaning. Z
Where, far from walls and boundaries.
With birds and butterflies and bees,
They learn the meaning.
Under the wonderful blue sky,
The mighty arms of tree-tops high,
In green woods arching over;
where spicy perfumes lightly stray,
In breezy meadows of new-mown hay,
And fields of purple clover.
On sandy shores beside the sea,
Where roll the tides necessarily,
And dancing ripples glisten;
" bhOlAS ACpOuJ tlC k8AC
The ocean thunders in a gale,
To rosy ears that listen.
Sorrowful, wistful, patient eyes
Grow bright with rapturous surprise,
Or soft with happy wonder,
And cheeks as white as the winter SHOWS
Blossom in tints of brown and rose,
The summer sunshine under.
Wise Mother Earth to sad young hearts
Her choicest gifts of all imparts,
Their careful thoughts beguiling;
She breathes her secrets in their ears
Their eyes forge the smart of tears,
And catch the trick of smiling.
They learn sweet lessons, day by day,
While speed the winged hours away,
In gray and golden weather;
They find, in flower or bird or tree,
Faint CLEANS of the beautiful mystery
That clasps the world together.
Perchance some serious, childish eyes
Uplifted to the starlit skies,
Read there a strange, new story;
And dimly see the Love that holds
The round world safe, and DER it folds
The mantle of His glory.
A distant patter of dancing feet,
A chorus of happy voices sweet,
Amid the summer splendor.
Glad voices, rise through all the land2
Reach out, each little sunburned hand,
In greeting warm and tender,
To those whose thoughtful hearts and true
Have lightened lovingly, for you,
Your poverty's infection;
And on each helpful spirit be
For 18th lovely charity
The children's benedictionl

REAL ESTATE.
Il DULL MARKET DURING THE PAST
WEEK.
Good Representative sales-The Demand
for Property Strong-The Transactions
for the Week.

The real estate market is without any
thing to render it peculiar or noticeable,
and the week has been very light one.
There is but little inquiry for business
property, and pretty much all that is tran
spring is in residence lots, and will prob
ably continue to diminish till January or
February, for the reason that people will
not desire to commence building till
spring and consequently they are in
no hurry to buy lots. There is no change
in prices to notice. Everything
is held firm at the best figures and show
no signs of weakening. This applies both
to business and residence property. In
this respect they both stand alike.
The excavation for the Drake and Will
der block, on Fourth below jackson
street, between Auerbach, Finch & Van
Slyck and Herman Green, is progressing.
This block will be 150 feet front by 165 in
depth and five stories in height, and as it
will stand close up against the Drake
block on the corner of Fourth and Sibley,
it will make quite an imposing corner
The depth of the building will be 165
feet.
The scaffolding is being torn down from
the new First National bank block on the
corner of jackson and Fourth streets, and
the beautiful architecture of the building
is revealed. 1t is very beautiful indeed
The new building for the German-Amer-
can bank, on the corner of Fourth and
Robert streets, is still engaging the atten-
tion of the contractor, who ia hurryinQ
along as fast as possible the heavy founda
tions.
All the buildings throughout the city
in process of erection are far advanced
and all will probably be under cover il
| ample time to take them out of danger.
