A Good Appointment.

The appointment of Charles Il. Russell OF
Connecticut, consul at Liverpool, gives great
satisfaction to the shipping interests Of this
State. Mr.. Russell is eminently fitted for
this position In early life he was a success
full ship master. Afterwards he established
n shipping house in Liverpool, and for many
years represented the larger portion of the
shipping Of Maine in Liverpool and European
ports His large experience in attending to
the business Of American shipping enables
him to know the needs of our tonnage in the
port of Liverpool as we'll, if not better than
any other person could, and he can do much
to facilitate the business of American shipping
at that port Mr.. Russell retired from his
Liverpool house about two years since, leav
ing his brother, Samuel Russell, the business.
While MIR. Rnssell has no interest in the
house, vet to relieve himself Of every tempta-
ton to favor his brother, we are informed
that the house of Samuel Russell 4 Co, will
now he dissolved, and their business closed
up. Mr.. Russell is an active, energ tic man
of great ability, ani our ship owners can rest
assured that he will look well after theirSin-
terests in Liverpool.

The Cheap Building Crash.

ing. The contractor has been carrying on
building operations on an enormous scale. IL

this city, within a comparatively short peri

as one of the cheapest and fastest of specula-
tive builders. He represents enc OF the

building acts proposed BY Inspector Easter
brook were aim d--the class whom reck less

ready to employ. and to whom large advances
Of money are constantly made on condition
| that work shsll be done with rapidity and on
| the lowest terms. These speculative build
ers naturally cheaper every detail of con-
struction, because this is the only way in
| which they can make even small margin Of
profit; and the work is invariably undertaken
on short time contracts.
The specifications when filed with the
building department comply with all the le-
gal requirements respecting strength of foun-
dati0ns, width of walls and general methsd
Of construction. But the work itself is
thoroughly skinned" from bottom TO top.
The bricks are put together without anything

How Paintings Are Lost.
New York Letter |


In the picture gallery built and so
grandly filed by the late Alexander 7.
Stewart, hang eanvasses of great cost
and in several instances Of still larger
value cracking and rotting away, No
stranger can possibly gain access to the
hall, which the collector was proudly
willing to open to appreciatiye vi ! ors
The other day, when the pro ect o q
loan exhibition of paintings for the ru
EFT Of the Rartboldi statue fund seem 1
feasible, member Of the commt,r
went TO the Widow Stewart TO ask ion
the use of the finest Meissonier in tn,
country, the artists masterpiece
'IsJ7.' She refused promptly and dc.
cidedly to grant the favor.
That killed the scheme altogether, for
Vanderbilt had already taken the same
course, and without draft on one or the
other of these two galleries no good col
lection Of French painters could be
made. While in the house the commit
teeman was let into the gallery. He re-
membered where the desired painting
had hung ten years ago and he found il
there still: hut it was in a state OF
partial ruin. The colors were criss.
crossed in every direction by cracks in
the varnish This deterioration had
gone too far TO be Iemedied. although
skillful restoration might have earlier
been effected, and the best MISSIONER
in America is beyond redemption.

4 seat on q Bumper.

'"rhis is terribly bad weather to ride
on the bumpers, said sorrowful-look-
ing tramp as he endeavored to thaw out
his hands with his breath and by slap
ping them together and holding them
in his arm-pits Its a hard place to
ride, because fellow has to hold on
all the time. Ii he should let go once
he would drop off, and that would be
the last of him. What do We ride on
the bumpers forl Cause that's about
the only place on a train fellow can
get these days where the brakemen
won't bother him. The train men stick
pretty close to the caboose this cold
weather II they should see one of us
gentlemen on the top Of car, though,
they'd come out long enough to put him
off. So we ride on the bumpers and they
don't see us. When the train stops we
hop off, for the men come out then, and
when it starts up We jump on again.
It's tough sometimes, though, because
bumper is not upholstered like seat
in palace car. Delaware and LaeSa-
wanna cars are the best for a fellow, be-
cause they've all got little platforms on
both ends and a traveller can ride on
them like daisy.
Some fellows ride on the trucks
under the ears" continued the tramp,
as he blew on his hands again. Its a
hard place, though; it's so dirty. An
other place is on passenger train on
the first platform The engineer and
fireman see us, but they don't care.
It's the brakemen who bother the life
out of u.s. Now, a person would think
this first platform a good place to ride,
but it isn't. The einders are terrible.
They get in our eyes if we keep them
open, and if We shut our peelers the hot
cinders fall on our broadcloth and burn
holes in our garments"
