Lordlings IN Gotham.

There are several lordlings in New
York at present, among them Mande-
vslle, Aylesford aud the Right Hon.
Sands, son of Lord Sands. These three
can frequently be seen together, and it
Ia the one last mentioned who has at
tanned some celebrity by appearing ON
Broadway in costume, the chief feature
of which was waistcoat of the vivid
color adopted by the New York Cab
Company for the adornment of their
coupe bodies. One of the young lords
now in New York is not popular among
American young men III spite of his title.
This Is enough, as q general thing, to
end,ar almost any kind of foreigner to
the youthful New York ers, but it doesn't
seem to reach thus far in the case OF the
particular lord in question. 1t is only n
few nights ago that he came home to his
hotel in a painful state of collapse oc.
casioned by the unexpected vigor of a
dude. His lordship had black eye, a
swollen nose, and a cut which crossed
his mouth and split both lips open. In
moment of brandy and soda exhilara-
tion he had been offensive to one of the
budding sons of New Yorks proudest
society. He was not lucky in his choice,
because this articular bud is accustom-
ed TO disport himself among dumb-b bells
and boxing gloves. Stralghtway his
lordship was slugged in the most Sulli.
vanian style of the art. In addition to
the heavy odor OF carbolic acid which
has for so long perfumed the atmosphere
of this British lord, the sensitive nostril
may now detect the less pungent but
equally curative smell OF arnica.

He Had Sand.

"You say that brown sugar is dam.
aged?' said business looking sort of a
man as he stepped into grocer's the
other day. "Yes. it was damaged lit.
tie in shipping, but most of it is as good
MS ever" "What will you take for it,"
"SiX cents pound" 81 will take it. -
The grocer seemed greatly pleased, and
wishing to satisfy his customer that he
had not made a bad bargain, said,
about half foot down the sugar is as
good as ever, and the stuff on top will
do to work off into cakes and puddings.
"Cakes and puddings" repeated the
customer, with merry twinkle in his
eye; "what do | care for cakes and pud-
dings? | amt going to eat it, or sell it,
either" "What are you going to do
with it?' inquired the grocer. "What
am going to do with it? Why, | am
going to send it down to my shop and
have it made up into sand. paper" And
he hnrriedly asked for his bill, paid it
and walked out, leaving the grocer as
much surprised as though he had been
told he had just drawn prize in the
lottery. Uck.

Rats in a Theater.

A panic was averted in the Mount
Morris Theater recently through the
presence of mind of Manager Hamilton.
The theater was packed, AID at the time
a dark wood scene was on and the heavy
villain was prowling around in blood
curdling manner. The theater is over
the Third avenue railroad depot, which
is infested with rats Of large size. At
the climax of the scene Manager Hamil-
ton noticed two black objects following
each other up the center aisle. He
looked hard at the moving objects and
then, gaspng for breath, he seized the
head usher by the arm and whispered:
"Billy--rats, Ii the women see them,
we are lost; they will trample each
other to death! Don't breath it. but
open all the doors quietly. Rats are
worse than fire. p"
1t was n moment of fearful suspense
The big rats slowly walked up the aisle
and disappeared Saved circulated

Accounting for Red Sunsets.

The curious effect Of a sudden over
casting OF the sky with smoke clouds
from the burning swamps and forests
about this city few evenings since, re-
called in a striking manner the phenSm.

and moons which astonished people in
ali parts Of the world last fall and win.
ter. Not only the sun and the moon,
but the planet Venus, turned fiery red
when seen through the smoke and the
half-lluminated sky reflected a greenish
light, almost precisely like that which
overspread the heavens few months
ago. This furnishes singular coniir-
nation Of the theory that the red sun
sets and their accompanying phenomena
were due TO finely triturated matter, like
smoke or dust, floating at great eleva.
tion in the atmosphere, derived either
from the tremendous volcanic eruptioni
of last summer or from outer space. -

Difhcuit Engineering Feat.

The Central Bridge works of this city
on May 7th successfully accomplished
one OF the most difficult engineering
feats ever attempted in this country.
When the upper suspension bridge was
constructed it was placed upon wooden
towers. For some time past the com
pany has felt the necessity of replacing
these with others made of more durable
material. but how to do it was the ques-
ton. The engineers of the Central
Bridge works were consulted, and they
agreed to undertake the work. New
iron towers were constructed, and this
morning the work of transferring the
weight of the bridge from old towers to
the new was successfully completed. An
idea of what this involved may he form
ed from the fact that the bridge is
l2S0-foot span and the dead weight to
be transferred was 52S tons, or 264 tons
at each end. This was done on a small
bed d-plate, or saddle, only four by four
feet. This was possibly more difficult
job than anything connected with the
great cantilever bridge, which this com
pany was 80 successful in constru citing.
