A Reminiseence Of LincOln's Assassi-
nation.

Junius Rrutus, who was buried yes
terdav, is the first of the brothers TO die
since the tragic end Ct John Wilkes
Booth eighteen and half years ago,
and the event has brought to mind
some reminiscence of that great tragedy.
When John Wilkes Booth committed
his crime his brothers had not seen
him for some months. The last occa-
sion on which they had acted together
WAS in the previous year at the Winter
Garden, where the brother who is Just
dead also played. At the time of Mr..
Lincoln's murder the two other broth
ers were IN Boston. Junius Brutus
was manager Of the Boston theatre. He
had gone home and was in bed when
the telegram reached him of the accu-
sation that had been made against his
brother. Not believing it he rushed to
the telegraph Office and sent dispatch
after dispatch without any result. Then
he went round to the newspaper Offices
to make inquiries, but could get no pos
tive news. 1t was before the day. of
interviewing and everybody respected
his grief-even the terrible reporter.
IIGWlu IoDbH WIS tGltutlIR' Ii ulllutE
at Boston, which believe was ,iven in
his honor. At any rate he was Just
about to rise with "a champagne glass in
his hand to reply to some toast 1t
was at the Parker house. Suddenly a
waiter came in and interrupting him
handed him dispatch. Idr. Booth put
down the champagne glass and asked
to be excused moment as the message
was of the utmost urgency. He opened
it: turned deadly pale and sank in his
chair with his head on the table, ex-
claiming, My God! my Godr'
There was great excitement in a mo-
ment. Somebody picked up the dis
patch and read it, and then one by one,
the people left the room. At about
o'clock the two brothers, Edwin and
Junius. met, both OF them crushed with
the weight OF the terrible calamity.
They went away together and what oc-
Cured between them will never be
known.
The late Junius Brrtus Booth never
mentioned his brothers name again,
and was deeply moved if ever the sub
ject was preached in his presence. He
accompanied Edwin when the re-
mains of John Wilkes Booth were re-
moved from Washington to the family
tomb at Baltimore. aud was present at
the re-intorment of the bones Of his I'M
fortunate brother.

Failures In Fine Houses.

II can tell YOU, moreover. that not a
single one of the many owners of ex-
travagantlv built houses is ever fully
satisfied with it.
"Only the other day | was called in
by the owner of house lately built,
who waited his extension room--lead-
ing out OF display library-put in
comfortable shape. I just want it easy
and homelike,' he said, and no artbusi-
ness and antiquities about it; just fix
the door so people will think it is a
closet, and put heavy lock on it;
like my ease once in while in the old
fashioned style
"A month ago l called upon gentle
man who wanted some work done, and
was shown into very plain but cozy
little corner in one of the most eXtrava-
gantly built houses in this town.
"'Cone in; come in here said the
owner little gloomily; its the only
comfortable spot in this house.

bookkeeping and Rag Picking Com
pared.

Something light and genteel is what
most Of the young women who
have to work want. L don't blame
them for it, but as rule it
don't pay. Ninety-nine in 100
would rather be "salesladies" at So or
SO a week than take hold of trade that
would give them SO or so. Speaking
CT salesladies, you may have heard that
the superlatlSe idiot who invented that
word died lately of softening of the
brain, but an sorry to say it is not
true; he didn't have enough brain to
soften.) A great many young women
now take to bookkeeping. They would
do much better by taking to millinery
or dress-making, bat these look more
like real work than bookkeeping. The
bookkeeping ranks are terribly over
crowded already.
An item now going the rounds says
New York business man who lately adj
vertised for bookkeeper ct so q
week, received 700 applications for the
place, aud that there are 500 bookkeep-
ers out of work in this city. 1t seems
to be the same old item that has done
service the same way any number Of
years, but though an exaggeration, it
contains enough truth for moral any
way. New York certainly has an enor-
nous number of bookkeepers and mis-
cellaneous clerks out of work. The
kind of work they have to sell is not in
demand-at least, there is an immense
deal more of it than the demand calls
for. All the Italian ag-pickers can find
plenty to do. The Chinese washee
washee men are busy all the year round.
Most men who know how to sweep the
streets can find employment. Nine
tenths of the hod-carriers are always at
work. Blacksmiths. carpenters, masons,
bricklayers, cabinet makers and so on,
who know their trade, need not be
pinched except in very bad times.
But the bookkeepers and miscella-
neous clerks are all the time walking the
streets looking for something to do. A
great many of the poor fellows may be
found every night in the cheap lodging
houses along the Bowerv and Chatham
square. The rag-picfers, street
sweepers, hod-carriers, etc, don't have
to go to those wretched places. l don
mean to say that it is better to be q
rag-picker, streetsweeper, or hod-car-
rier than a bookkeeper, but what l do
say about plenty of work for the former
and very little for the latter is fact.
Some hookkeepers III New York are
paid as high as $4,000 year, and
many get from $4,000 to $4,000; but
thirds of the whole number regu-
larly employed are glad to get SO to
$15 week. | have myself had men
offer themselves at 81 and So week.

The Chinese I'm Ore EOn.

We all made another visit among the
Chinese quarters, and found that the
Willard party had almost depleted their
stock of curios, leaving for us a lot OF
dried meats, fish, and such uninviting
and unsavory things. These Chinese
shops are to me great curiosities, as are
the Cinnamon who conduct them. You
often see the finest of Chinese goods,
like silks and crepes and general as
sortment of the costliest articles, mixed
upwith butcher shop and u vegetable
store. When You go in to buy You are
at once surrounded by ten or dozen
of the Celestials, who chatter like mag
pies, and seem to be engaged in con-
sultation as to who you are, or whether
they will allow you to purchase their
goods or not. When bargain is
struck they all seem to be delighted,
and a peculiarly childlike and bland
expression covers their idioticl looking
faces that resembles streak of sun
shine over the Snake river nj Ainsworth
station. They are very honest in their
dealings, and one Chinaman ran six
squares to give me bundle | had left
behind.

English Opinion OF the Hub"

1t is obvious that what Americans in
modern times have learned to call, and
sometimes to sheer at as Boston cul-
ture, was basel on the most rigorous
puritanism; and it may be that good
deal of puritanical gall and NORWOOD

dation of learning The sages who, in

lectual gifts and their own scholastic

sweet and Of a most excellent SAVIOR.

American society the C,eanest-

I have had some opportunities of OBJ
servation, and this is my most unques-
toned faith, that the social life Of
America is the cleanest, sweetest, sin
cerest, upon the whole, to be found in
all the earth. l firmly believe that
friendship is a truer, firmer, and holier
experience in America than anywhere
in all the earth. Man stands for more,
and mans circumstances and belongings
or less. There are many, very many,
mean and unworthy reasons that lead to
social prominence in all European coun-
tries wholly unknown to American So
ciety. If bit crude-just little bit
vulgar-if assertive and forthputting
and perhaps declamatory and buster
ing in some of ITS sections and phases, it
is honest and generous as well, and
these atone for all that is merely super
fetal, and which will pass away so soon
as we begin to place some measure of
emphasis upon social amenities and cul-
ture as we now do put great s'~ upon
academic education and ira

Amsterdam ana Rottcrd an.

Amsterdam and Rotterdam loo, like
no other cities in the world. They
have hydrocephalus. like Venice
oceans of water everywhere. Amster-
dam is built on eighty islands. con-
nected by 800 bridges across the muddy
bitches they call canals. The buildings
mainly are of unpainted brick, with
gable-ends to the streets, and they are
erected, like those of Venice, on mill
ions of piles driven into the mud. But
this alluvial deposit is not so firm as
the sandy sediment in the Adriatic la
goons, and 50 it happens that almost all
of the houses here and ~ Rotterdam
are ont of plumb. You cross a bridge
and instinctively hesitate to advance.
for ii seems as if the buildings ahead
were about to tumble down and crush
you. On both sides of the street
they bend forward toward each
other, SO that their cornices are
two or three feet nearer than their
bases. You gather courage and pro-
ceel, and further on you see other
houses bowling. Here is "a tall, toppling
chimney, and around it in a circle are
various houses gravely saluting it.
None of the buildings seem to fall
down.-at least did not detect any in
the act-but they rise and engage in
their bricky salaams at almost every
angle from the perpendicular, and in
utter disregard Of the feelings of way
farers. Crazy little steamboats, ira
verse the dirty little canals great brick
warehouses boldly bend over and look
down into their turbid mirrors; mer
chantmen from Java stick their yards
up through the branches of sycamore
trees upon the banks, here and there
ships climb up the ladder-locks; here
and there windmills churn the air and
pour the water out into the sea. This
is queer old town. But l should
think the Hollandcrs would wash their
canals.

WHAT BROKERS DRINK.
Financiers Who Find Forty WHISTLES
Day an Easy Load.

One of our reporters has been inter-
viewing saloon-keepers on the s'ibjt ct of
what brokers drink. How many drinks
do brokers take in a day." replied a
well known New street saloon man.
Let me see Well, { should sly they
will average up fifteen apiece between
10 in the morning and or half-past }
in the afternoon"
"M hat do they most drink"
straight whisky; almost entirely !;
generally little settler with it. A
drink called whisky daisy was intro
duced down here few years ago, and
became quite popular. Somehow it fell
ont of sight; but this summer it was re-
vived and has become very popular
again. 1t is made something like a
whisky with the addition of settler.
But plain WHISKY is the handiest for
brokers. When they do come out for
drink they only have a minute to spare,
and few care to wait to have a fancy
drink made up"
DO they drink just the same whether
business is good or bad %
well, / think they drink more when
they ore not doing their best. The work
and excitement, You see, is just the same
III Improbable times, sometimes more,
and then there is the additional want of
something to cheer the dropping spirit.
Brokers are not drinkers in the sense of
drunkards. You Will, in fact, never SEQ
them under the influence, or very rarely.
They require above all things level
head, and when they get down in the
morning you will find them a. clear as
u whistle. l know several brokers who
take during business hours in Wall street

and there are some who can and do

Taain. Bachelors.

The colonists i'll America were not
slow in adopting measures of taxing
bachelors. for in 1896 the local author-
ties of Eastman, in Massachusetts,
voted that every unmarried man in the
township should Kill six blackbirds or
three crows yearly while he remained
single, and that rs u penalty for not
obeying the order he should not get
married until he had destroyed the
requisite number in area. In 1886
the assembly of Maryland laid a tax
of shillings year upon all bachelors
above % years of age who were pos
sessed of $500, and of 20 shillings a
year upon all bachelors and widowers
without children who were above that
age and possessed of 81 800.

What the Treasury People Fear.

What the treasury people fear in the
future is that their paper issued may
BY duplicated by the means employed
by the photo-lithographers. 1t is posi-
bic with the aid of photo-hthographv to
duplicate every line of the most skillful
and intricate engraving. This fact was
brought to the attention of the depart
ment not long ago.
The statutes forbid any imitation of
the currency of the country for the pur
poses of advertisement. This is not
generally understood. A New York
brewer recently devised a business
card in the shape Of plate with sew
eral bills of different denominations
lying upon the plate, being held
down by gold and a silver coin.
He had employed regular bills as the
models for the work, and the result is
absolutely startling. What portions of
the bills that show in the careless piling
are absolutely perfect. They were re-
produced by photolithography and then
colored exactly like the originals. The
plates were all seized, and the brewer
notified that he was a violator of the law,
although his intent was innocent.
This discovery has set the officials to
thinking. With the right kind of paper
any skillful photo-lithographer could get
up millions in very short time. To
guard against the danger and TO provide
means of detecting such counterfeits are
as yet unsolved problems.
