VIEW YORK'S HUMAN OWLS
srnEETs WHICH ARE WELL
CROWDED AT MIDNIGHT.

NEW YORK, April 3.-This city seems
IN have more than its fair share of human
owls. The horse cars, which run all
night seldom lack plenty of passengers,
and the elevated railway trains, which
VIM at intervals of fifteen minutes, from
midnight to s. m, do better business
than the managers would like to confess.
The train, for instance, which l board
regularly every Sunday at Franklin
souare shortly after a. M, is crowded
nv the time it reaches my getting-off place
af Eighteenth street. The streets along
which it passes between those points are
in places as full OF people as they are sew
ersl hours earlier. A good many of tAe
people are full too.
Justice Shadows boast, in "The Merry
wives OF Windsor" Of having "heard the
chimes at night seems little to brag
about in this city of late hours. At mid
night the Bowery is nearly as crowded as
atuooh It's various resorts Of chaste en-
tertainment are all open at that hour, and
the lower part OF the street IS fairly lined
with eating-houses and oyster-ssloons,
which keep open all night. Half the shops

so great Is the travel in the B0wery at
al hours that fruit and cigar stands also
fo business all night long. All-uight res
tlurants are not confined to the BOWery.
DOgeu at All hours" is a sign that meets
oBe as no distant intervals all oyer the
eifv. Such places, Of course, are not the
equals of DelmonfoO's. An all-night re-
sort of any sort is not apt TO be respecta-
be. or to boast of French cook, but if
enc knows where TO go, a square meal,
AND even q perfect gorge, may be obtained
during what are popularity termed the
wee sma' hours. Within five blocks, or
lass than a quarter of mile of my lodging
in irving place, there are as many all
night chop and oyster houses where one
can get both fish and flesh we'll served,
and also of all sorts as an accompani-
ment, at all hours of the day and night.
Two of them adlein each other in Third
avenue, near Fourteenth street, and
third is on the ReighbGring corner, 80 that
he block is bright with their illuminated
SIGNS, and their customers keep the streets
lively at all times.
Broadway and Sixth avenue, for seve-
raj blocks at and below taeir junction,
are equally full Of atsnight eating places,
aad st2y-opeR- a tai hours resorts are
scattered everywhere. Although it is
against the law, large number of sa-
looms also keep open all might, so that the

SPEAKING OF THINGS TO EAT, ANOTHER
PROOF OF THE EXISTENCE
Of the anglOmaufa epidemic is found in
fine Importation Of English sole for several
OF he clubs. In view of the excellence Of
the American substitute for sole, this is
almost as bad as playing cards with
English money as, the members of the
kniCkerbOcker club have long had the
equation of doing. Southdown mutton,
teo, can be found at the better class OF
cheap houses and restaurants, but this Is
horse, SO to speak, 81 another color.
Even those who are not anglomaniacs
will coufess that English mutton is pre-
terable to American.
