An Old Bum mer's Scheme.

T"Manhattan's" New York Letter
There is one shrewd old politician who will
make profitable campaign, judging by
what know Of one of his days work, no
matter who gets to the White House. He
walked considerably more than the requisite
distance in coming from the door to my
desk, as though veered by the zerhyrs Of
past alcoholism from direct course, and it
was the mere chance of the wafture which
brought him to me rather than to any other
point in the room. His clothes possessed all
the polish which his manners had lost, and
he wore them with an air of badly damaged
dignity.
"Can have word with you," he said.
"No," replied
"You wouldn't bounce me if you knew
me-"
"Why, who are your
am a campaign lie," was the composed
reply, as he instinctively thrust one hand
into the breast Of his coat and rested the
other for steadiness on my desk. "Yes, sir;
started out stalwart enough last spring, but
I've been exposed so much and nailed so
often that I'm tattered and torn, battered
and worn. I'm twin brother to Bryant's
Error, that wounded writhes in pain and
dies amid her worshipers.' But they won't
let me have a demise. They keep me going,
dilapidated as am and tonight I'm famish-
ing for food and drink-especially famsh
ing for drink. Will you give me quarterl"
The novelty and humor Of the appeal con-
quered me, for his drollery was very funny.
He got dollar before quitting the building,
and subsequently learned that he did about
as well that same day in every newspaper
office in Park row. The last heard he was
going through the Wall street region with
equal success. This old hummer with the
happy idea was a low comedian in our minor
theatres until incapacitated for stage per-
formances.

the papers are quoting some of the choice

private life Of Gladstone and Disraeli, for in

course Of his musical education was an en-
thusiastic love Of negro melody, which he
used to sing with the greatest spirit and en-
joyment, never leaving out verse. "Camp-
town Races" was for time his favorite
ditty. Disraei appears much less cold and
apathetic in private than his sphinx-like i'm
mobility in public would suggest. He con-
fessed himself on one OCCASION when there
was a prospect of getting Office, that
he felt as delighted as young girl
going to her first ball, and, according to
Lord Malmesbury, was, when outside the
house, always in the highest state of elation
or the lowest depth Of despair, according to
the fortunes Of the day. A fine piece Of un-
conscious humor is this: "Disraeli was at

THE CITY OF BRoTHERLY LOVE
The Ways OF PhiIadeIphians q
Hundred Years Ago.

L"Cress" in The Enquirer.1
Philadelphia Is a city of many peculiari
ties, and naturally of some amusing incon
sistencies. A hundred years ago, notwith
standing the strong Quaker element, the city
was renowned for it luxurious style of liv.
ing, its fondness for every sort Of amuse
ment, and its laxity of morals.
Lee described il as an attractive scene OF
amusement and debauch." Lovel said il
was "a place Of crucifying expenses" and
McMasters in his admirable history gives
most entertaining sketch Of the town, which
he says was then the greatest in the country.
No other could boast of so many houses and
so many people, SO much renown. No other
city was so rich, SO extravagant, so fashion
able. To travellers from distant lands the
most striking features were the fineness oi
the houses, the goodness of the pavements,
the filthiness Of the carriage-ways, the regu.
lar arrangement of the streets, and the sing.
ulnr custom of numbering some and giving
to others the names OF forest trees.
Chestnut street was then, as IL Is now, the
fashionable walk and it was there that the

fashionable attire encountered one Of these
courtly gallants what between his salutation
which comprised a flourish of the cane,
scrape of the foot and profound inclination
and her responding courtesy, almost to the

Etiauette was severe. At assemblies and
dancing parties partners were chosen by lot,
and were partners for the evening. Even in
the matter OF refreshments good manner
demanded that guest should accept four OF
five servings Of a dish IL asked to. and then
was at Liberty by an arrangement Of his
knife and fork to tacitly intimate that his
capacity was exhausted. To foreigners this
table etiquette was very puzzling.

when dining at the house Of Robert
Morris he was so repeatedly urged te

There were three romances in the life OF
the late Joshua Sears, the millionaire grocer
of Boston. The first was when he was q
very poor young man. He started a firta-
ton with a wealthy beauty on a railroad
train, called on her afterwards and finally
found that his suit was in vain because he
was poor and size was rich. The second was
when he was past middle age and very rich
He became engaged to dashing young
widow. One of her friends asked her: "What
are you going to be married to that old fel-
low forl" "For his money, Of course" said
she. Sears heard of this @For my money,

went to his lawyer, and was told she would
have good ca.e in a breach Of promise suit
He didn't want lawsuit, so he handed
confidential friend $4,000, and told him to
go and see the widow and "fx things up"
which was done, she accepting the bribe and
giving him his freedom.
The third was when he was an old man.
He found himself enormously rich. but
thought: "When am gone, as soon shall

There may be more beautiful sights, per

Seine, but do not remember ut this moment

ories OF blood AMI riot and ruin
come trooping up in the brain OF the be-
holder. Again, the air seems filed with the
wild roar and rush of the riotous canaille,
the beautiful boulevards run red with
French blood, and tho glorious architecture
OF forgotten centuries crumbles and yields to
the mad tide of revolution and revenge
From the early days of the infant Paris,
known then as Lutetil PariSorum, when the
French capital was simply an Quitting
point, down to the days when she dictated
to the world in the matter of national debts
and overskirts, we trace the wonderful
career of the great city. Again we see
Cesar rebuilding the city. In fancy we see
him being about with his coat off and his
red suspenders flashing in the warm south
ern sun. His noble head is thrown
back proudly, and across the horizon OF his
pantaioons there is dash of palo light that
shows where he sat down in the mortar-bed
near where the Pavilion de Saltpetre now
stands. Rapidly the eye sweeps down the
Seine from the Louvre. along the Tuileries
the Rue Rivoli AMI the Rue Folderol to
where the glistening mass of the Vendome de
Charlotte Russo raises its pale facades. In
the foreground stands the Hotel des Invalides,
an imposing pile, crowned with gilded
dome los metres high. Immediately under
it stands the sarcophagus of Napoleon l.
This sarcophagus was first used by Napoleon.
He was proud and exclusive about his sar
cophagi, refusing to use a secondhand sar-
cophagus, no matter how cheaply he could
procure it.

4 Picturesque Rcrnrmcr.

There are $1,000 acres Of good land in the
county of Essex, England, which are tenant
less. The reason is said to be that English
farmers are being educated above their bust
ness, and desert the farm for the city. As a
remedy for this lady Catbarine Glaskell
proposes that farmers and their wives and
children be no longer educated, but allowed
to grow up entirely illiterate and unculti-
waited. She also says that they should not be
allowed to wear decent clothing, and that
they should be made to rise at o'clock in
the morning and spend all the day among
the cattle in the fields. Lady Glaskell would
make picturesque refoimer.
