The Number OF Vehicles which Pass .
Given Point During the Day.
New York Trbune.l
Some interesting statistics have recently
been gathered regarding the enormous
amount of traffic on Broadway. Four men
were recently stationed at Fulton street and
Broadway 10 count the vehicles passing
through Broadway at that point from a.
m. to p. n- The total number was g, 30S
for the period Of eleven hours about 2, 900
an hour, thirty-two minute, or one every
two seconds.
The largest number of any one kind Of We
hicles was of single and double
trucks, 1884; the smallest number was
2; these were ambulances There were
$500 single and double express wagons The
2,3lO stages and the l,022 cabs were next in
order Of quantity, peddlers' wagons number
ing 93s, produce wagons 446. rag trucks 375,
carriages 354, coal cars 324, and venders'
wagons 800 Then there was a drop to
hacks, 2S8. and butcher wagons 223
The variety Of vehicles was striking, there
having been eighty kinds according to the
schedule. Every conceivable article Of
transfer appears to be poured into Broad
way. The private carriages were COM
pletely engulfed In the $50 ash-carts; the
two ambulances and three funerals made
melancholy showing amid the seventy three
loads Of dead hogs, the sixty-four garbage
and tho seventy-three dirt carts
The lager beer wagons and the orange ped
ders fourished on an equality; the bone
and lumber wagons went neck nd neck;
the pie and sugar wagons were half-and-
half, which should give the pie sweetness;
the milk were left behind by the swill
wagons.
The mixture presented was something ap-
palling. Kerosene, milk old iron, saw-dust,
rags, sugar, ice, beer, bones, oranges, ashes,
pic, hogs, tripe, tin, tallow. tea, tar, and
undertakers were commingIed in bewlder-
ing confusion. Broadway Is certainly a re-
markable thoroughfare.

The Minister and the Sausnges.
TLiverpool Courier.l


A minister in one Of our orthodox
funeral sermon in the country, called to see
one OF his members, an old lady, who had
just been making sausages, and as she felt
very proud Of them snsisted on the minister
taxing some Of the links home to his family.
After wrapping the sausages In cloth the
minister carefully placed the bundle in the
pocket Of his great coat. Thus equipped, he
started for the funeral While attending
the solemn ceremonies Of the grave some
hungry dogs scented the sausages, and were
not long in tracking them to the pocket Of
the good mans overcoat OF course this
was a great annoyance, and he was several
times under the necessity Of kicking the
whelps away. The obsequies Of the grave
completed, the minister and the congrega-
tion repaired to the church, where the
funeral discourse was to be preached.
After the sermon was finished the minis
ter halted to make some remarks to his con-
gregation, when q brother, who wished to
have an appointment given out, ascended
the stairs Of the pulpit, and gave the mimi
ter's coat hitch TO get his attention. The
divine, thinking it q dog having designs
his pocket, raised his foot, gave a sudden
kick, and sent the good brother sprawling
down the steps. "You will excuse me,
brethren and sister," said the minister con-
fusedly, and without looking at the work he
had just done, @for could not avoid it I
have sausages in my pocket, and that dog
has been trying to grab them ever since he
came upon the premises!"

It appears that one Of the officers Of her
majesty's ship Garnet is to be court-raar-
tialed for allowing Paul Boynton to surprise
them with a sham torpedo attack In New
York harbor. He may, perhaps. justify
himself by the evidence afforded by recent
experiments with the French Mediterranean
squadron, that more than ordinary vigilance
is required to guard against surprise by q
torpedo attack.
Admiral Duperrs's fleet consisted Of four
ironclads steaming to Toulon. Signal was
made TO prepare to receive an attack Of tor
pedo boats, and three torpedo boats left the
fleet to return and effect an attack under
cover Of the night Warning was given
that the attack was to be expected after
midnight and before 5 o'clock in the MORN
ing. Any ircnclad which allowed torpedo
boat to approach within fifty meters with
out being recognized and exposed to the fire
Of the Hotchkiss guns and Propatchek maga-
zine rifles was to be considered destroyed.
From midnight the most vigilant watch
was kept by all the ships The night was
dark, but the beams Of the electric light
kept searching the surface Of the sea in
all directions The rifemen and can
noneers were on the alert Spyglasses
swept every inch Of the sea Lit by the elec-
TIC ngnL vi u sudden three nttle red
lanterns were hoisted simultaneously within
forty meters Of the squadron. 1t was the
signal Of the three torpedo boats which had
successfully passed the zone of observation
without discovery, and had penetrated to
a point which insured the destruction of
every vessel Of Admiral Duperre's feet On
previous occasion at Cherbourg a similar
experiment resulted in the torpedo boat
running alongside its supposed victim. and
the officer in charge springing on the deck
Of the latter before even its proximity had
been suspected.

Three New Ideas Ia Styles.

Said the barber: "The imperial Is going
out Of style and is now never worn by
young men except TO lengthen moon face
or hide deformity. Even the elderly men
are having them cut of. The fashion for
perfectly smooth faces Is constantly get
ting q foothold. The style was set by act
ors and kept in motion by aesthetic school
girls, who complain that the mustache
tickles. As q rule, the growth Of hair on q
lightcomplexioned person Is more luxuri-
ant than on the dark skin. The rage for
banging the hair in front of the ears has lost
favor in dude circles"
Said the shoemaker: "Young mon arc
wearing shoes with much thinner soles than
formerly. Many OF them prefer what is
known as the paper sole, long in vogue
among wtmen to shop in Of IN af-
tsrnoon. The fashion is coming around
gradually to pointed toes again Patent
leather is not so much used fer street shoes.
Yellow, pink and maroon-colored kid Is
liked better The yellow shoe strings are sell
dom called for except by colored persons or
rustics."
Said the notion dealer: "Bright colors In
cravats will be most sought for. The fash
ion will be plaids of black and yellow, and
yellow and crimson, or purple and pink.
Tho coming cravat will be Of the pattern
worn by our forefathers---the kind that ties

On day like this, when the streets are wet.
When the skies are gray and the rain IL
falling,
How can you hinder an old regret
For JOY long dead, and a hope long set,
From rising out Of its grave and calling
Calling to you, with Ii voice so shrill,
That IL scares the reason and stuns the wilt
On day like this, when the sun Is hid.
And you and your heart are housed to-

Like a gust Of the outdoor weather
Why, who is In fault but the dim old day,
Too dark for labor, too dull for playl
On day like this. that is blurred and gray,
When the rain drips down in a ceaseless

Thad. Stevens and "the Tiger


Thad Stevens was an inveterate gambler.
One who had met him in the haunts OF "the
tiger" described him as having played for
ex itement not caring whether he won or
lost Like Fox, who described winning at
hazard as the greatest pleasure in life. and
losing at the same game as the next great
est, Stevens lost and won with the same
apparent Indifference He played with con-
summate coolness, never lost his temper,
and never increased the amount Of his bet
either to retrieve his losses or more rapidly
TO increase his winnings.
His sarcastic remarks upon the discom-
posure Of his fellow-players, who sometimes
exclaimed with rage and profanity at their
III luck. were always witty as well as cut
ting. While they were eating and drinking
with the voraciry OF cormorants, he never
INDUCED in anything more stimulating than
n cracker ami sip Of water. The contrast
between his coolnes' and apparent apathy,
and the eager. fierce excitement OF Others
sitting at the same table and engaged in the
same pursuit was amazing.

Concerning Mustaches.
a.. xyt G.

aMu stacheS are different said the bar
Der; @some are plant and silky, while 9th
ers are rs stiff as bri.tles. A man who
wishes a good mustache should never allow
a razor to touch it. Then he will always be
proud of it, providing he has gooi hair
growing powers. Young men have fool
ish idea that shaving frequently will hasten
the growth OF tho mustache, but its only Of.
feet is to make it like a hearth brush.
"Bald headed mon have, as rule, the
best growth Of hair on their faces 1t seems
TO be the way nature has OF compcnSating
them for what they want above. Some
mon can never grow decent mustache; it
looks like two rat tails. Such men should
fall back on side whiskers."

WRITING OUT A DISPATCH.

fCincinnati Times-S -Star.l
The other day a couple Of young men were
in the office OF the Western Union Teleg.
raph company writing out dispatch They
were evidently unaccustomed to sending
telegrams, for they wrote but slowly and
with very apparent nervousness and trepi-
dation. One Of them did the writing, stop
ping to count the words every other min
ute, while the other stood ut his elbow
looking on AMI making suggestions
Finally. after quite a period Of laborel
elaboration one Of them audibly read the
dispatch:
"The baby is sick, and you had better come
home"
There remarked the reader, shat is
just ten words"
Couldn't we make it more definite" said
the other young man, after a moments de-
liberation, "that will scare him"
Then there was another period Of pen
chewing. hut at last second dispatch was
prepared, which the writer read approx
ingly. 1t ran:
"Baby got measles. Do not be alarmed.
Please come home"
"That's BETTER" put in the other, shut
you haven't signed it."
When it had been signed and addressed,
oao VI ehohi was suuuoHly scLZcu Win Iuo
idea that the number Of words had been
materially increased.
Counting the address and signature, there
are good many more than ten words there
now" said the first young man; II wonder
II they charge for them all"
Neither Of them knew, and so they ap-
pealed to another man who was busily
writing dispatch.
"They charge for the signature, but not
for the address, was his reply.
NO." interrupted a man by his side, "they
don't charge for either"
After quite warm discussion the matter
was laid before the clerk, who settled it in
terse. official way.
1--WE charge for neither the address nor
the signature. II a man has q title in two
words, we send it for nothing. II the title
Is longer than two words, like assistant
general manager we charge for the addi-
tional words In sending cablegrams we

stretched across his show window on which
a stuffed canary hops from left to right in
dicating as it goes the hours Of tho day by
pointing with It's beak at a dial stretched
beneath the wire and having the figures
from one to twenty-four When it reaches
the latter figure it glides across the window
to one again. There i no mechanism what
