The Chicago Man at Saratoga.
Saratoga Cor. Chicago News J


heard yesterday an old visitor here
describe how Chicago board-of- trade
man takes in Saratoga, and why he votes
itor: "The Chicago board-of trade man
arrives here full of life and money. He
gets up early, takes a cocktail; then he
goes down to the Hathorn Springs and
drinks two glasses. He then walks to
the Congress Spring and drinks three
glasses. Then he comes back to the ho-
tel and drinks q champagne cocktail.
Then he goes into breakfast, and eats a
beefsteak, a big dish of potatoes, six
boiled eggs, three plates of rolls and
four cups of coffee. Then, after an in
terlude following breakfast, he hires a
carriage and goes around drinking at
every one of the thirty or forty springs
here. At noon he goes to the races and
bets on everything, losing steadily,
braciHg himself up occasionally on race
track rum. Then he comes in, sits
down with friend. and drinks quart
Of champagne. Then he eats dinner for
straight hour, and winds up with
whole watermelon. Then he gets a car
riage and drives, to Moons with party
Of friends. They stay there and drink
fancy drinks and smoke until nine
o'clock. Then they come in and go
ever to the club house, where he gam
bles and loses until A NJ Then he
eats a lobster salad, takes drink. of
brandy, and gees to bed. The next
morning he wakes up with mouth feel
ing as If a democratic ward meeting had
been held in it the night before. He
gets up and swears at the climate, says
the place rs not fit for human beng to
live in, and takes his departure by the
10 A. NJ train and never returns"
I wonder if that picture is libel. I
think some of the New York stock men
could follow the board trade man
around for more than one day upon the
drinking part of the programme at least
That is the only way New York bust
ness man. knows how to be sociable.
His one formula of politeness is: Come,
let us take drink. " If you do not
drink he does not know how to get
along with you, and the odds are in ia
vor Of his dropping you entirely.

A Man Who Hated Tobacco.
From the Washington POST


The late Samuel G.. Kirby, the cabi-
net maker, had violent aversion to to-
bacco. He would not tolerate a man
about him who was either smoking or
chewing and had his place of business
placarded with prohibitions against the
use Of tobacco. On one occasion, before
the war, wealthy Georgian had bought
very large bill of goods, but hesitated
over a handsome center table. He re-
turned to his wife after dinner, having
decided to take it. But he had lit a
cigar on leaving the hotel and when he
entered the store Mr.. Kirby peremptor-
lily ordered him out. On another coca
sion Mr.. Kirby was driven to Bright
wood with gentleman, who, on start
ing back, lit cigar. Mr.. Kirby an
nounced his intention of walking back,
and alighted without giving an explana-
ton to his companion, who was unaware
of his idloSyncrasy.

A wonderful Street.

Ex-Secretary ofthe Treasury Win
dom is now in London trying 10
raise money for building an arcade
under the whole length of Broad
way, New York. If he succeeds,
that will be the most extraordinary
thoroughfare known to the history
of cities. The scheme is to make a
new street under the present surface
of Broadway, extending to the hous-
es on each side, and lit by electric
lights at night and glass refectors
in the daytime. The middle of the
street would hold railway tracks,
not only for city travel, but to ac-
commodate incoming trains from
every part of the country. The
traveller in San Francisco or st. Paul
would not only buy his ticket for
New York, but the hotel on Broad
way where he intended to stop.
Freight and baggage would be con-
veyed directly to the warehouse or
be received by the express car which
was to convey it to any part Of the
country. Then traffic of all kinds
could be carried on on each side of
the arcade. There would thus be a
double tier of stores. Provision
could be made for sewers, water
mains, gas pipes, and heating tubes.
In short, it would become double
street, and the value of the property
guadrupled along the route. En-
gineers say the scheme is entirely
practicable. There is business
enough now on Broadway for two
thoroughfaree.

Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call special
attention to the fact that after April

principled dealers are constantly de-
ceiving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations under the name
of Ginger ; and a ginger is An un-

THE PRINCESS AND THE RABi 81

In olden time, in ages long since flown,
There lived rabbi, one whose great reno ri
For wisdom, learning. and for many thin IS
Made him much sought by emperors &c
kings.
Yet though his wisdom made him wondro u
wise,
His face was ugly, and his crooked eyes,
That mated with his soiled and blacken I'd
skin,
Gave to his countenance horrid grin.
One day an emperor asked him to his cou It,
Where Ugly Face" was subject to the
sport
OF lords and ladies, and amid the laughter
None mirthed il more than did the emperors b
daughter.
"Good rabbi, tell me-" were the words she
said,
"How wisdom dwells in such an ugly head?''
The rabbi kept mis- temper, though his cheek
Paled at the insult, with voice so meek,
He asked the princess did she know the bin
Or jar in which her father kept his wine.
The bins know not, quickly she replied
" But earthen jars have all such wants sup
Piled
"In edrthen jars-Ha, ha. that's very fine
That's where the common people keep their
wine;
An emperor's is worthy of greater place
No handsome vessel would such wine dis
grace"
SO said the rabbi the princess thought that
he
Could nothing else but full of earnest be;
That one who many clever things oft spoke
Would ne'er in indulge:in playing paitry
joke;
So to the butler she ran off in haste,
And bids him best of all the wines 10 place
In jars ofgold; the butler quick obeyed
"A princess word must never be gainsaid)
Took from the earthen jars the wine so old,
And poured it in those of finest gold.
When next the wine was 10 the princess

On her the rabbi some foul trick had played.
And finding him, she, flushed with anger
said,
" So, rabbi, do you know the wine poured
In golden vessels is all spoiled and soured ~
To which the rabbi with touch of pride,
And sterner accents than before, replied:
" Then have you learned a lesson, princess
mine;
'Tis not the ressers beauty makes the wine;
Neither doth knowledge find resting place
Behind fair more than an ugly face"

box of baking powder. a paper of
needles, new grammar, and some
bird seed and cutie bones for the
canary. A scrap of silk to match,
and some napkins for Mrs Stiggen's.
All of these purchases are attended
to, not an article missed, and now
business being over she thinks she
will enjoy herself by looking over

resident in every person and that
through it We acquire Of affinites and
antagonisms that cannot be other

ceive a dislike for person entirely

as effective and true as the sense of
