TATTOOED PEOPLE.

New York Truth, June :.
Until very recert date tattooed
man was considered indispensable in
every well-regulated dime museum.
Now, one can travel the length of the
B0wery. from Chatham square To
Cooper institute, ard find not one
Where before the variegated flesh Of
these decorated gentlemen set off the
charms of the Circassian girl. the fat
woman and the living skeleton. there
is vacant place. Why this aching
void existed at such critical moment,
when public interest was aroused to.
the Importance of tattOOing as a
means of obtaining a presiden tial
nomination, was problem which bO-
thered your reporter somewhat.
He determined to solve the pre-
blem, and with that object in view
made a tour of all the BOwery
museums yesterday afternoon. At
not one of those highly moral shows
could the pricked and colored outside
of a tattcOed man be seen. There
was not even visible one of the numer-
Gus females who, for weekly stipend,
are willing to exhibit their more or
less attractive forms, clad In nothing
more than a coat of India ink, 10 the
bewildered aud admiring gaze of the
visiting rustic.
NEGOTIATING FOR BLAINE.
Where is your tatoOed an? Truth
inquired of Mr.. G. S. Hunt, who.had
charge of a museum near Grand
street.
We haven't got any, In fact,
there's none in the city just now.
Where have they all gone to Well,
| can't tell YOU that. Perhaps they've
gone to South America to try 10 get
the nonli' alton FIR president OF some
~ tie LLmtTous republics there Oh
III -trerg;h OF their iatt"os.
Is ii true that yuu are negotiating
with Mullisan Blaine To commence
an engagement next November?
Well. have not opened regotia-
tons yet. Bat tell you there's big
money for the Snowman who can Sc
cure him for the fail and winter sea-
sops. Right after the election he'd
he 4 hig card, YOU know. I'd like to
get him myself.
You would have to pay big salary,
though.
Of course Captain COstanten us, the
Greek, who has always been regarded
as tue original in the tattoo line, has
always commanded the highest terms.
He is on the other side of the pond
now, but Blaine could get ten times
his salary. The other fellows, who
are springing up like mushrooms
every day, can only command from
SIS TO s25 per week, but perhaps
prices will 90 up now.
ROUGH on THE PLUMED KNIGHT.
Mr.. Edwin Thomas, who has been
professor of tattooing for thirty
two years past, was found reclining
on a lounge at his residence, No. 81
Christie street, reading an article
upon the tattOoed candidate.
Did you tattoo Blaine, Mr.. Thomas?
Truth inquired
Well, l should say l didn't, he re-
piled. In my experience ] have tat
tooed thousands of men and some
women, and every operation has been
successful. But Ibid not tattoo Blaine.

A Device That Held Good.

Over opposite the village of Ellijay,
Ga, is rich piece of ground known all
over Georgia as "the forked field" be-
cause of the following incident: Many
years ago it was part of the estate of a
wealthy citizen, who, when we'll on in
years, was stricken with disease which
a council of physicians pronounced in
durable. AS he lay at deaths door a
lawyer was summoned to draw up his
will. His numerous sons and daughters
formed a sorrowful group around his
bed. The lawyer wrote down his be-
quests-this farm to John, that to SUI
san, the other to Peter, and so on until
he had provided for all his children
Then his watch and other personal ef-
fects were disposed of, the voice of the
dying man becoming weaker and less
audible every moment. "You have for
gotten one thing, Mr.. Alexander" said
the attorney in appropriately solemn
and sympathetic tones. "What is it ?"
slowly whispered the old man. "You
have not said what you wish done with
the forked field" said the attorney. A
light cleaned in the dying mans eyes.
ooh! yes" said he slowly; and then,
with new strength in his voice, exc]aim-
ed: "That I'll keep for myself" after
which he turned over on his side and
sank into refreshing sleep. In few
weeks he was we'll man, and for many
years thereafter the forked field was
cultivated under his supervision.

Boston for certain sum Of money. The
day came for sailing, and Captain Dris-
coll, upon going on board, wassurprised
by not finding a living soul on board
the ship, and no signs of crew. Ten
o'clock was the hour to start. Ten
O'Clock came, but no seamen with it.
"Confound it ALL" said Drisooll,
"here tits time that anchor was up, and
not man aboard yet. I'll work 'em up,
though, to pay for this, when they do
get aboard, the lazy beggars!'
Captain Driscoll did not dream in all
this time but what Mr.. Reynolds had
engaged a crew for his ship; but such
was not the case, however, as the reader
will shortly see.
Just as the ships clock struck the
hour of eleven, MIR. Reynolds stepped
over the gangway of his vessel, and &C.
costed Captain .Driscoll.

nolds. "Did you not agree to take my
snip rOunu TO Boston?
Most certainly, sir; but how am I
to do it without crew."
"That'sn not my lookout! You agreed
to take this vessel to Boston-you said
you could take her around quicker than
any other man-now, sir, 1 want to see
you take her round.'
There must be some mistake here
Mr.. REYNOLDS"
=" None at all, 1 assure you, sir; it is
all perfectly plain. You said you could
take my ship to Boston, and I engaged
you accordingly; and, now, sir, will you
take her round, or viii you forfeit your
agreement One or the other, sir. I
wish you to do immediately"
''Mr. Reynolds, I demand an expla-

of your presence as soon as possible. I

quently I caught none. But have at

never to lose sight of you until I had
paid you off in your own coin.

Names For POStOff1ceS.

The Postoffice Department is entitled
to great credit for it's jealous efforts in
shortening the names Of new post
offices. New postofices are being es-
tablished daily all over the vast terri
tory Of this country, and as the number
of postoffices increases so does the diff.
ficulty of obtaining suitable and yet dis
tinguishing and dissimilar names for
them.
When an effort is made to have q
new postoffice established, it generally
happens that by the caprice of some
individual or by desire on the part of
the community wishing it's establish
ment for something fantastic or roman
tic or dignitied in the way of q name,
name is selected which, leaving out
of consideration it's fitness in other re-
spects, is decidedly unfit for post
length. just here we may remark that
in its endeavors to secure uniformity the
Department itself is somewhat incon-
sistent, as for instance in thorough" as
termination, the photography of
which, as given in the official publica-
ton of the Department-the U. S. Pos
tai Guide always given its lengthy
and barbarous spelling, but which a
time-saving and labor saving public
generally abbreviate to "boro'," or in
deed dispense with the apostrophe al
together. But the Department will no
doubt awake in time to sense of its
inconsistency in this particular re-
spect.
As we have said, the Department is
endeavoring, and very successfully, too,
to dispense with much that is superflu-
ons in nomenclature, and to this end, in
All application for the establishment of
postoffice in particular locality, it
gives the preference to the shortest
name. But brevity is not the only
feature which the Department is en-
deavoring to inculcate. In order to
meet with certain success the proposed
name must be distinctive one; it
must be, as nearly as possible, a name
entirely distinct from that of any other
postofice in the State, and it is greatly
preferred that the name shall be one
not used anywhere else in the country.
There is no doubt that these two pro-
visions are wise ones. For it is evident
to anyone who has given the subject
careful thought, and it is especially evil
dent to any person familiar with the
workings of the postal service, that q
similarity between the names of two
postotfices is'a cause Of great confusion
and many delays OF mail matter, and it
is equally certain that it is n great
hardship to business men, and great
loss of time to them to be obliged to
cover their envelopes with such names
as Toolesborough. Boonesborough,
Griflin's Cross Roads. Nlarshalltown,
etc, when Tool, Boone, Griffin, Mar
shall, or some such shorter name might
as we'll be written. Let the good work
go on, until postof1ice names can be
written on ordinary six-inch envelopes,
and thousands of practical and unsenti-
mental business men will rise up and
call the Postotiicc Department blessed.
