OUR LETTER FROM BROADBRiM

A Lively Contest at the Stock Exchange
A Fraudulent Photographer-Return of
Jay Gould-Fear Of a Paric-Our Bridge,
Opera-House, Siusging Match, cite.
New YORK May r. 1888.
EDITOR CHEF:
The liyeliest scrimmage OF the week has
on Broad street, when W. B. Dickerman,
the swallow-tailed nominee Of the Board
of Brokers, was quietly put into his little
bed by Mr. Hatch, the independent candi-
regular, and another to be successful. Mr.
Dickerman was regular, but he was not a
success and thereby hangs a tale. 1t is
nearly two years since Mr.. Duff had reason
broker W. J. Hutchinson, and SIS soon as he
made the discovery, which nearly brought
him to ruin, he summoned Mr.. Hutchinson
before the examining committee Of the
Exchange. Mr.. Hutchinson was rich, had
long been member of the Exchange, and
every possible influence was used to stiae
the investigation.
To many outsiders the whole body of
brokers look like gang of thieves, but this
view is by no means just; for, while there
are some pretty hard battles between Bulls
and Bears, and occasionally I have said
some very uncivil things about them my
self, must do them the justice to say, that
in matter of personal honor, which de-
pends simply on the word of man, there
is no body in the world where the standard
is higher than in the Board of Stock Bro
kers Of New York. Transactions amount
ing to hundreds of thousands of dollars
take place there daily by the mere passage
of a single word; sometimes that word in
wolves the loss of thousands upon thousands
of dollars, but there is NO attempt at quib-
bic, and at the close of the business day the
settlements are made between individuals
just as if there were thousand witnesses.
The safety of the institution depends upon
this high standard of recitude; for, without
it the public could never be tempted to touch
speculation, where they had no guarantee
of partial safety.
Mr.. Hutchinson was tried by his peers
and found guilty of the crime alleged: he
was compelled to restore his ill-gotten
gains, and ANONYMOUSLY expelled from the
Exchange. The full extent of the punish
ment will be the better understood, to man
in his position, when. beside being branded
as swindler, he lost his seat in the Ex-
change, which was worth 10000 and life
insurance of $4,000 more, making in the
aggregate dead loss Of seventy thousand
dollars. The pecuniary loss was hard
enough, but to be branded as a swindler
who has robbed the men who had trusted
him. was more than he could bear, so Mr.
Hutchinson begged for mercy; he was not
without friends, and most prominent among
them was w. B. Dickerman, president of
the Stock Exchange. Mr.. Hutchinson made
several attempts to get reinstated, and his
reinstatement was thought to turn on the

A GENTLEMAN.


The rank is but the guinea's stamp;
The mans the gowd for a that.
The welcome whistle that proclaimed
To many toiIers, Work is DER"
Had sent its message loud and shrill,
Only a little while before;
When painting with the haste he'd made,
Upon the crowded car he sprung,
While in his rough, wOrk-hardened hand
His shining dinner-kettle swung.
OF very coarsest stuff, and patched
In many places, were his clothes.
And-plainly told his face-his place
OF birth was where the shamrock grows.
Street after street was passed, until
The houses scarce and searcer grew,
And in the car, of all the crowd
shat filled it first, were left bat few.
Then, turning TO one near, he said:
. Sure It's weary way to go
Five miles the morn and five Che night
Six days q week-through cold and snow.'
e But why asked he to whom he spoke,
'' Live from your work so far away"
g Because, Sorr I've family,
And in the city. if I'd stay,
They'd have to blda, where sights they'd see
No child nor woman ought to see:
And so, to bar them from such sights.
I've moved where by ourselves we'd be.
And Sorr, I'd acalk the miles each day
For that same purpose. Faith, would.
To save my wife from blush of shame,
And keep my little children good;
But here's my cottage. Goodnight. Sorr.''
And off. with Frightening eyes. he ran,
A common workingmar, 'tis true
But none the less gentleman

Written for the CHIEF.
DIVINE LOVE.

Written for the CHIEF.
DIVINE LOVE.
BY GALUs.
This world would be cheerless place,
IL it was not for love
For love divine, heavenly grace
That fills the Courts above.
1t radiant through nature shines,
Fen to the worlds afar,
And draws by truths unanswering lines
The rounds Of every star.
Its highest aim is creatures good,
In this or worlds unknown;
To make of all one brotherhood,
Round the eternal throne.
It's mightiest work for man is wrought;
1t on the sinner shines,
Makes new his heart. his life, his thought,
By deep, wondrous designs.
Creations work is sunk to naught,
Its glory lost to sight,
When we behold such wonders wrought
By him who is the Light.
Oft shameless sinners hear his voice
And all their guilt confess
Mid groans and tears make him their choice
While he stoops down to bless.
Yea, more than bless, for grace is given
TO ell the sanctifed,
They join the brotherhood of heaven
Through Christ, the crucified.
THE USUAL SPRING RACKET.
When the clam begins to howl,
And the oyster wags his tail;
When the festive guinea fowl
Wakes the echoes with its wall;
When the gladstone bumble-bee
Whets the warm end of his sting,
Smiling In expectant glee-
We may know that it is spring.
When the buxom bull calf bawls,
And the catawampus yells,
And the imri-amri crawls
Der the Shiny seaside shells;
When the gyaskutus squawks,
And the wcodtick shakes his wing;
When the dog-cart flly balks-
We may know that it is spring.
When the poet yawps his yawp,
And the maudlin maiden rhymes;
When the infant snuffs his crop
Through the day hundred times;
When the frog begins to croak,
And the Thomas cat to sing;
When the ulster goes to soak
We may know that it is spring.
