THE W.R REPORTERS.

Gen. WoLsELEY lie reported to have request
ed that the newsp iper war corr sponednts
be recalled. His alleged reason is the scanti-
ness Of rations. The real reason is that
WoLsELEY wants all stories from
the seat of war told in his
own way. His reputation might be
kept up In that way. The dozen or two re-
porters would make very small hole In the
commissary store of an army
of 10000, and they can be easily
virtualed at the expense of the news
papers who send them out. Gen. WoLsRLEY
bad better keep the cor. respondents with him,
for they have done the bulk of the fighting so
far and hare suffered the heaviest mortality.
If he wants to know the fate of GoRDoN's
army he can just move his army to one side
and let the war correspondents go ahead.
They will have an interview with the MAHDI

New York Letter in Boston Globe.
MOI much higher is this life than a good
deal OF the club life around New York, where
young chaps who have derived some moary
from industrious parents, or wdo have mar
ried simple women of wealth, and who are
unable TO do anything or are unwilling to
work, put on their dress coat and white lies
aud go to the Clubs every afternoon, imag-
ming they are Englishmen, aud the burden
Of their conversation is 10 fnd something in
the United States to assail. 1t seems to me
there is not much 10 choose between this class
of men and the lower c.ass aforesaid. Tae
others have more original stamina and human
nature about them. think | see about as
many wrecks of club life in New York as
there are wrecks of barrOOm life. Many of
these cGbs afford uncxampled 0pportunite
for adventurers, who could not elsewhere

thing indigenous here. was recently talk

with portion of it bought place in British

the buying of commissions had been abol-

liculcnancy in a very stylish regiment, in
which one of the British princes was the
nominal colonel. He had to pay high for the
place, and then the acting colonel presumed
to make suggestions to him. which were in

ran of and married fellow officer, who was
coming into something, as the phrase goes.
So the young man sold his commission and
started for Que OF the British colonies, where
he found the opportunities for starvation so
good that he appeared in New York City with
another wife. whom he married for revenge,

some portions OF New York club life, with

THE SAUSAGE MAN

When the qniet folks are snoring,
And cats begin to fight
When wintry winds are roaring
And winter frost doth bite,
Upon the darkened city street,
With steaming, oblong cans,
AMI wraps complete and tzy feet,
Walks the Hot-Sausage man.
His apron's white and ample,
His voice is rather low,
And, as the people trample
The lightly falling snow,
He cries his more than doubtful wares
And many stop to buy,
Unmindful who the meat prepares
If it doth please the eye.
Oh, man of dreadful mystery,
OF secrets dark and deep,
Tell us the hidden history
That IN lhy breast does sleep,
AcGuaint us with the stuffs you use
To make your sausage meats,
