DANES ON THE DOLLARS.
Coins Defaccd to Crafty the Vanity of
Pretty New York Girls.

Pretty New York Girls.
NY. Cor. lntsr-osean.
Good graciousl my dear girl" said !
to the Goddess of Liberty on silver dol
lar. as the coin was handed to me over a
counter; "what on earth has happened
to your"
The classic profile had astonishingly
relaxed its dignifed severity, the straight
nose had softened into slight snub, the
big chin had dwindled to feminine and
weaker proportions. and the firm mouth
looked decidedly impressionable. A
man once remarked to me as he threw
81 to pay for something that had better
not been bought, that if the goddess
should turn her lofty face squaIely at
him, while he was thus using her. he
would have to return the coin to his pock-
ct and pay with some less reproving mon
ey; and SO he approved of the govern
ment's course in giving her an averted
visage, though he rather thought that a
reformatory influence might be obtain
ed by giving her a front view on all coin
age. Well, the outline Of liberty on the
dollar in question did not indicate that
should she look a fellow square in the
eyes. the effect would be at all impress
siye. The old transformation was puz-
zle to me for awhile. and l showed the
piece to number of friends. At length
the explanation came.
"That's a likeness of Miss Blank" said
young man-abOut-town, naming agirl
of excellent repute in pretentious socie-
ty. "Don't you know about the latest
fad of the ladies? They are having coin
engraved in that way extensively. The
leading jewellers are being pestered to do
the work, but they won't because it is
against the law to deface the coinage OF
the United States in any manner. i
hope you don't call my face a deface-
ment,' pouted my sister to the clerk who
declined her order; but that reprooi
didn't make him render his employers
liable to a fine 1850. But there is an
engraver who privately takes the risk Of
punishment, and the secrecy of the work
makes it all the more fascinating to the
girls. They rather like to defy the Unit
ed States Government, and the Difficult
ty in getting the job done affords them
much pleasure"
On investigation and observation for a
week, have learned that a considerable
amount of coined gold, and great deal
more of silver, has already been operat'
ed on for this new sort of portraitui g
and that the adaptation is rapidly going
on. Eagles, half eagles, and double
eagles are used as jewelry and buttons
and dollars, halves and quarters are Civ
en- away as tokens.

The sensation produced was tremen-
dous but when the facts were subse-
quently revealed by Senorita Valmez
that Senor Ilvarez was Morales's own
brother, who was the proper heir to the
estates and wealth enjoyed by Ilvarez,
and that Henrfco was Morales's son bva
former wife. whom, it was believed, he
had murdered in Madrid and then fled
to Mexico with her money, the feeling
was intense and bitter Morales finally
confessed to the truth ofthese statements
while lodged in Jail, and begged to see
Henrico. He declared that he was the
only one alive entitled to the wealth
that he was soon 10 leave behind, and,
asking forgiveness from all, he threw
himself.upon his bed and positively re-
fused TO see any one. The next day he
was found dead, faving opened an artery
in his arm during the night and bled to
death.

THE AMERICAN ABROAD.
Three Types Of the species to be Seen In u
Great English City. |

The American in London at present is
of three several kinds, there is the one
who comes over here TO live, who adopts
English ways and affects English pecu-
liarities, and who would not be taken
for an American for the world; who says
81 say" "don't you know" and "all that
sort of thing" who seeks to forget and
make people forget he was ever in "the
States" and who seldom more than half
succeeds in either. Then there is the
American who doesn't know English
ways, and does not care to particularly,
yet is not quite ire if American ways
will do; who is timid and hesitates about
everything; who hesitatingly gives the
cabby shilings for shilling fare, and
pays another shilling or two because the
man is surly; who keeps out ofthe way
of people as much as.he can, slips around
the corners and tries to do his sight
seeing on the sly, and, failing in this,
slip fee into the hand of every person
who aecosts him, thanks them for tell
ing him nothing, and, having seen next
to nothing, hurries to his hotel to get
rid of this new and perplexing world
where the hireling who cringes for his
shilling is often better dressed than he.
Another American one sees, and ] am
giving, of course, only the more notice
able, is the inveterate sightseer, who
will be hindered by none, who goes
about guide book in hand, who having
heard enough of the communion SER
vice at Westminster Abbey, gets up,
and, after walking through the CT urch
several times, trying the various doors,
finally asks an old man sitting conspicu-
ously in the very centre of the church:
"How under the sun do you get out OF
this thing?" Which question, the old
man being stone deaf, has to be repeated
several times; who quarrels with his
cabby, and insists on giving only what
is due; who lives in his old suits he has
brought over to wear out, and who talks
a grea; deal about how they do things
in America. Let me add that one sees
here, too, though not so noticeable, "a
woman. faultless in manner and in word
and look, who upon inquiry also
proves: "Ah, an American; don't you
know her? All, charming, charming;
married here. So and SO, don't you
know"

WHISKY BEAT HIM.
Sad Downfall Of a Man Who Fought In the
Battle Of Gettysburg.


Battle OF GettysDurg.
New York World.
"You have indeed fallen low" was
the sad remark of Justice Solon B. Smith
at the Tombs yesterday to an aled.man,
who showed every indication of a
tramp.
"For Gods sake forgive me, SOL"
pleaded the man. Liquor has been my
curse. For ten years / have been its
slave. But from this day forth | will

and make a solemn vow that not anoth-
er drop of that poison will pass my lips
again."
at has now such strong hold upon
you that you couldn't stop ii il you tried
ever so hard" remarked the Judge.
"And besides, where could you go? You
have no home, yodr wife wont recognize
you any more and your friends pass by
with horror and disgust"
well, what of that?" said the prison.
er. 81 can live on forty millions, can't
I? What need care for them?
"Forty millions? Why you haven't
got forty cents" said Justice Smith.
IL tell you Sol, | have it,"
How did you become possessed of
it?"
"Why, I've earned it to be sure.
Where else do you think?"
drinking has somewhat unbalanced
your mind and I'll change the complaint
against you into insanity" said the
court. "You will be better treated in
an asylum than in the workhouse. Off
Gel, remove him.
please, judge, will you let another
officer take him." said Court Officer
Maurice Finn, whose eyes were filed
with tears.
"Why can't your" said the justice in
tone OF surprise.
ale was my general in the war, your
honor" said Finn, "and he was so kind
to me that don't like to repay him in
this way though knowit is done for
his good. He treated the men who
fought under him as he would lis bro
theirs. 1t is sad for me, sir, TO see my
/ old dear commander in such a position
as this, and and Others will see that he
I ID properly cared for at the ayslum.
The man was none other than Brig
Gen. Thomas w. Eagan, who fought in
the battle of Gettysburg under Gen
Meade, and was participant of almost
every battle at that time. AT the close
| of the war he was made an internal rev
enue officer.

She Must be Pregedist.

The other day grocer sold an old
farmer a gallon Of tar through mistake
for molasses. After discovering the mis-
take he waited to hear some complaint ;
bat hearing none, wrote to the old fel-

"Much obliged fur the c'reckshun but

A VOICE OF THE NIGHT.
AEIAU0AA

'Tie midnight now. Ye candle-bug
Has flown around ye lamp,
And on ye pavement far away
Is heard ye roundsman's tramp.
Ye gas-jet and electric light
Contend with deadly wrath
To show belated citizens
ch0meward-pointing path.
Now doth ye little busy cat
Prolong eachGrewsome howl.
And gain fresh vigor all ye night
For each succeeding yowl.
Yedog with melancholy voice
Inceeeantly II heard.
And oh ye irAte bachelor man,
He swears q naughty word.
And, hurtliug through ye tuneful air,
Ye catward bootjacks soar,
while swift We mild-eyed cOckroach glides
Beneath ye kitchen door.

picked up and put away. A few days
afterward she was discharged by Nor

away on a journey. As she left the house
that evening she was struck over the
head with some blunt instrument; when
she awoke to consciousness she was w.
ing in strip of woods on the outskirts of
the city, and her body was covered with
leaves and dirt. She crawled to a lone

The Sayings of People and Papers on the
Situation.
CHICAGO, May 4.-Mr. Horace White, of
New York, stated that in his opinion Mr..
Blaine was already defeated and could not
poll as many votes as were cast for his rep
resentative, Mr.. Clayton.
The Times Says:
The Times this morning makes no estl-
mate OF Arthurs strength, but says the vote
for CLAYTON indicates 29S for Arthur on the
first ballot and 364 for Blaine. 1t further
says neither of these men will be nominated,
An Early Morning Opinion.
The general impression this morning was
that the chances for the nominees hereto
fore not prominently mentioned have been
increased. The most frequently mentioned
are the two Shermans and Gresham. In
case of break in the Blaine column it
is understood that Nebraska will 60 to SEN
ator Sherman. The eastern delegates are
determined to adhere to Edmunds and as
they are divided in opinion it is likely their
strength will be divided between Sherman,
Gresham and Hawley.

SPEECH MAKING.

0ver-confident Politicians for the Future.
CHICAGO, June AFTER the adjOurnmen
of the convention nd while the hall was
still crowded there were loud calls for lnger-
soil and 0glesby. The calls were kept up

spond to them but Ex-Governor 0glesby did,
and made long and amusing speech,
alluding in complimentary terms to the
varioue candidates for the Presidency
Arthur Enmunds, Blaine, the two ShermanSr
Logan, ex-Governor Fairchild of Wisconsin,
Gen U. S. Grant Harrison, Gresham, and
others were in turn comphmented by the
speaker and were applauded by the audi
ence In conclusion he announced that the
Republican party was going to win, and that
the American people would not allow that
party to retire from the exercise of the sol
emn powers of the nation.
After Oglesby had finished his speech
there were calls for Fred Douglass to which
after time that gentleman responded He
excused himself however, from making
speech on account of loss OF his voice
Then the calls for Ingersoll were renewed,
but as that gentleman was not present
substitute was suggested IN the person
Congressman Horr, of Michigan, who came
forward and made a speech.

again. The women also took part in the
demonstration and waved their fans and
handkerchiefs. After the first storm Of ap-
.plause had worn itself out it was again re-
.newed and once again the enthusiasm was
as marked and intense as that which char
acterized the convention of 1880 at the
time of Garfelds nomination. 1t was
fully FIVE minutes before the chairman was
able to resume and finish his speech.
Prohibition Again.
JAS: A. Gray, of Maryland presented

ton taking some action indicating its de-
sire for an enlargement of the presidential
