long blonde whiskers, an eye-glass, dreary
smile, and perchant for saying by Joav,
don't cher know, who is stopping At the
Brunswick Hotel. BE has been in this
country Just three days, and if matters do
not improve he threatens to remain only
three days longer. He thinks this is q
''deuced queer country, don't cher know"
and has brought club with which he hopes
to regulate things. There is blood in his
eve and he thirsts for buckets Of gore.
The whole trouble is kind Of practica
Joke. TAYLOR came here not knowing n
soul and some OF the frequenters OF the
Brunswick bar noting his placid demeanor
thought he was good specimen to expert
ment upon They suggested that he ought
to call upon Mr.. Vanderbilt Mr.. Gould and
Mr. Russell Sage. Mr.. Taylor admitted
that these people
Must be Anxious to Meet Him
and went TO bed resolving the projected
visits in his mind About ? o'clock card
Was brought TO his room. II read, Mr.. A.

Taylor scrambled out Of bed struck
light, jumped into his dress suit and hurried
to the parlor, where he waited for Mr.. Ste

For half an hour he sat there patiently, and
ne visitor appearing he rang the bell and
sad TO the servant:
"Show Mr. Stewart up.
Which Mr.. Stewart asked the surprised
nan.
"Mr 4. T. Stewart, Of course"
I'm sorry, sir, sorry to disappoint gen.
tleman, sir, but he's dead, sir; been dead
some years, So so can't show him up, sir.
Sorry, sill" and the man made hasty exit
just in time to avoid
The Angry Engiishman's Boot.
Mr.. Taylor began to think it was o queer
country with vengeance. He hurried
back TO his room, and had Just got his pat
ent leather boots Off when Mr.. Vanderbilt
vas announced With q sigh the tight
boots were worried on and, grown wiser
by experience, Mr.. Taylor asked that the
great millionaire be sent TO his room. But
Mr. Vanderbilt came not, and the young
London importation rang the bell and asked
Why the gentleman was not forthcoming.
Then the hotel people found out that some
one had been viciimizing the young man
and they placed q guard about his room.
The cards had not been carried by any Of
the hotel employes. Mr.. Taylor was told
that he might retire, out he thought it best
to remain up all night so as to be prepared
TO meet other callers. But no more came
after the hotel men had been notified.
But yesterday morning the cards

would stop at his house during his stay in
New York. John Jacob Astor offered bis

the Yacht Atlanta at his disposal, aud the
Union Club begged him TO come TO their
arms. Besides these, every distinguished
gentleman, from President Arthur down 10
Barney Biglin, sent up his card. These
came By mail, for the clerks guarded their
guest faithfully and would send no cards,to
the too popular Taylor. Al
the daily papers were notified
that "the distinguished Mr.. Russell
Taylor, Of London, England, would be glad
to be interviewed" and score Of reporters
added to the English mans perplexities. A

brain the FIRST man that speaks TO him, and
the hotel clerks have mounted little how.

boarders if the crowd becomes too great.
Neither they nor Mr. Taylor have the least
idea who the perpetrators of'his COAX
are. Mr.. Taylor would like to meet them
