AfhAHNA AAAh x Loltls
A free journey by rail inside a carriage
holding a Complimentary" in your waist
coat pocket may be, and doubtless is, a very
pleasant thing. To travel free as Mr.. George
Adams, Of Wolverhhmpton, England, did
the other day. however is scarcely to be
recommended. Nor is it ut all pleasant, as
that gentleman will be ready Mt this moment
TO admit. Mr.. Adams found himself in
Liverpool sans six sous, and being OF a sans
souci disposition, determined to get home by
a new and original method of "mncing the
RATHER" as n cracksman would say id est, OF
cheating tho railroad company.
His idea, to say the least of it, was ingeni-
Gus, but he had reckoned without his host.
He procured two stout pieces of rope, which
no fastened to the axles of the carriage,
leaving a moose at the end of each. Into
one moose he put his legs, while he inserted
his shoulders into the other. In this position
he hung when the train started. The train
was an express and did not stop until Grove
was reached, which ia about seventy miles
from Liverpool. He WINS rather
bic when the train began to move. but when
it got into full swing he had real torture,
and when he reached Grove he was nearly
dead with fright. Here he was taken into
custody. To the magistrate who ndjudicated
on the case ho explained that his sensations
when swaying to and fro were something
awful, and the effect Of the slecpcrs us they
rushed past him nearly robbed him of rea-
son, and he "was afraid that every moment
the rope would slip from his shoulders and
hang him" The magistrate decided very
cutely that he had had enough punishment,
and rcmarking very sagely that he was not
likely to repeat the experience, sent him
about his business. An excursion on tho
stick Of II Congrove rocket on tho tail of a
comet might be moro exciting than this, but
not much.

-One in every seventy five men in New York
is a criminal" snys DIR. Lyman Abbott, and
in opening the meeting at Steinway hall on
Tuesday evening, Secretary Round, OF the
Prison association. said that 90, 500 persons
are now locked up in this state for wrong
doing. The number Of criminals in the state
is estimated to be five times greater, and is
increasing much fas,er than the population.
Such statistics Indicate an urgent need Of the
work undertaken by the Prison association of
New York. and also OF work outside of
prison walls 10 save boys from entrance upon
lives OF crime. 1t is possible to make our
prisons reformntory, and that is the purpose
OF the Prison association. It is possible also
to establish and enforce laws to increase the
restraints from crime and to create moral
influences which will prevent the ruin OF such
n vast numbes of the young. To accomplish
these results should bo the endeavor OF every
good citizen. To check the growth OF the
criminal and beggar classes, the people must
earnestly support the work OF roformers like
thoso Of the Prison association.

Greeiey's IiemarisabIe Appetite.

l@NN" - WI VI
Charles Gnyler, the dramatist, Gen. Sheri.
dan and others were discussing Horace Gree
ley over n bottle Of wine at the Union Square
hotel, when these two stories regarding Gree
ley's remarkable appetite were told for the
first timo within my recollection:
Charles Gayler-I WINS dining at Windusts
many years ago when Windust's was the
downtown resort Of all journalists. Dana,
Briggs, Greeley, and sat at one table and
talked and Toasted. Windust used to serve
salmon served up in some peculiar manner,
and also corne1 beef and cabbage with
plenty OF grease, and both wero fayorite
dishes with Greeley. He had run through
the whole bill OF fare, eating heartily on
everything put before him, and ending, a,
VT all thought except Windust, with n boiled
dumping for desz ert. But when Mr.. Gree
ley had finished this last course Windust
came to the table and asked; isn't there
anything else you'd like TO have, Mr.. Gree
leyi' YES" answered the old philosopher,
"you may give me some OF that salmon md
another cut of corned beef and cabbage
And he nte tho second plate OF both.
Gen. Sheridan-I was stationed at Now Or.
leans when Mr.. Greeley camo there on his
tour when n candidate for the presidency.
Tn old creole residents gave him a dinner,
aud to make 1t as fine an affair as possible
each of the many hosts was laid under con.
tribution for some OF tho rarest wines in his
cellar. When dinner was announced and the
half-shell oysters had disappeared the waiter
appeared at Mr.. Groeley's seat with n plate
OF beautiful shrimp. "You can take them
away" no said to the waiter, and then he
added apoloGetically to the Mortified old
French creole gentleman who pre-
sided. al never eat insects of any
kind" Later on soup was served, and at the
same time a glass Of delicious white wine was
placed at Mr.. Gsveley's right hlnd. He
pushed it aside quietly, but not unobserved
by the chief host. ADO you not drink wine I"
he nskod. mo" answered Mr.. Greeley, II
never drink any liquors" as there any
thing you would like to drink with your
soupf" tho host then asked, a little disap-
pointed. III you've got It," answered Mr..
Greeley, "and 1t isn't any trouble, I'd like 10
have u glass of fresh buttermilk." anon
DieuT said the host after ward in his broken
English, "ze idea Of %electing to. re presidency

The size They Grow In the roms..

There was great excitement among the
clerks at the Tombs police court yesterday
morning over a little brown box that has
stood on the safe behind the justices box for
years 1t began to mako n great racket
Chief Clerk McAfee picked it up to hush it
Instantly the racket assumed enormous pro-
portions. He dropped the box, and It burst
and showered papers on the floor. A large
rat, with long gray side whiskers, dashed the
papeHo on either side of him, and started for
a corner. The clerks made after him with
whatevor weapons were handy. Messenger
Haslam killed. him. The body was laid out
In tho Tombs yard. 1t measures a little
more than two feet, and weighed eleven
pounds.

GLADYS M'NULTY's LAMENT.
'sGod pity me y

"GOd pity me ~ -.
Gladys McNuity. usually SO proud and
world Of those who knew her with the stately
grace ofa New York Post editorial, sank on
q lauteutl as she uttered these words,
and sobbed as il her shoestrlngs would
break. ~
In the lindcns that lined the entrance 10
Brierton Villa the robin redbressts were
trilling their merriest lays, while over by the
| wO0dshed the haggard outline Of an abau.
doned hoopskirt through which the
dalses were peepinS showed that spring, the
most pulmonary and beautiful season Of the
year, had srri ed. In the broad fields that
were preparing the ground for the seed
which, nourished in the bosom of mother
earth and & warmed by the gentle rays
OF the san, would soon become the H.
pened gram, Yielding to its owner a bounte-
the b1nco when he visits Chicago In tho fall.
A ruddy-fa boy, picking seed-burrs from
between his toes, decks the horizon and lends
an added beauty to the enchantment Of the
scene.
And yet, lying there on the fauteuH, whose
velyety surface is not more soft than her
cheak, Gladys McNulty ID sobbing away ina
hours Of this beautiful June morning, and ever
and anon there comes from between her
white lips q low, despairing moan that ia
pitiful in its sad intensity. But finally the
%convulsive sebs thxt are racking her dress
waist grow fainter, sad IN q little while she
Sits up, the pink sutusion of u blush telling
all too plainly which side she had been living
on.
And az she sits there gazing lIstlessly into
the middle Of next week her mother, u pless-
ant faced woman without corsets, entered the
room.
why are you weeping, Gladys w she
asks.
The girl does not answer, and strive as she
may to keep down the sobs that are yelling
up from her heart the effort is in vain, and
again the pretty face Is believed with tear.
But an instant later she has conquered her
emotions and looks bravely I'D at her mother.
II will tell you, mamma" she says, "the
cause Of my sorrow. 1 was crying to think
that you sannot 60 to the matinee to-mor-
row."
And why may I not Sow
"Because,r answers Gladys, in a voice that
is hoarse with agony, 81 nave concluded to
take it in myself"
