a MARKET FOR OLD HATS.

\ group of islands known as the
Nicobars' situated about $50 miles south
OF the Andamans, has been but little
explored though the manners and
customs Of the inhabitants of these
islands offer very interesting peculiari-
ties to the notice of the ethnoloeists.
One Of the most noticeable of these. and
one which seriously affects the trade of
the Islands, is the passion for old hats,
which, without exception, prevades the
whole framework of society. No one
Is exempt from it. Young and old,
chief and subject, alike endeavor to
outvie each other in the singularity of
shape no less than i'll the number of old
hats they can acquire during their life
time On fine morning ut the Nicobar's
1t IS no unusual thing to see the surface
OF the ocean i'll the vicinity of the
islands dotted over with canoes. in each
Of which the noble savage with nothing
whatever on but the conventional slip
Ol cloth and tall white hat with a
black band, may be watched standing
up and caIching fish for his daily meal.
Secondhand hats are most in request,
new hats being looked upon with sus-
plclon and disfavor. This curious
passion Is so well known that traders
from Calcutta make annual excursions
to the Nicobars with cargoes of old hats,
which they barter for cocoanuts, the
only products of these islands, Il good
tall white hat, with Il black band, fetch
ing from tifty-iive to sixty-five good
cocoanuts. Intense excitement per-
vades the island while the trade is going
on, and fancy prices are often asked
and obtained When the hats or Cocoa
nuts have at length come to an end, the
trader generally lands n cask or two of |
rum. and the whole population in their
hats get druDk without 1ntermission
until the rum also comes to an end. 1t |
IS curious that in those far away regions
so profitable a market should be found |
for cast-OH specimens of one symbol OF |
civilization The same yearning after
better things in a more advanced stage

MARRYING ON SMALL MEANS.

Young people. who really love each
other see more of the sentimental then
the sordid side of poverty. A man in q
vague way realizes that if he chooses to
marry ON less than certain income, he
must be economical Gs to luxuries and
cigars give up, if possible, tailors' and
florists bills, and live in very much
smaller house than most of his friends;
but of what discomforts and privations
the smaller house will entail he has
generally but little idea, He will
gayly declare his perfect willing
ness to substitute a cheap ready
money tailor for his aristrocratic
long-credit Schneider, and his full ac-
quiescence i'll Angys wearing calico
dresses instead of tailor-maGe dresses
and French confectiOns," but will not
realize that small means entail thinking
Of every item in the washing bill "a fact
that at once puts the calico dres ;es out
of count,) of every loaf III the bakers
and every penny i'll the books, and that
the tiny house will necessitate instant
and continual acquaintance with every
cooking effort of the establishment, and,
worse than all that, a perpetual con-
ciousness of his children's existence,
who, if healthy, will make a playground
of the whole house, laughing, shouting
and generally upsetting everything
Especially temper,) or if sickly, crying
and tretting necessarily for want Of the
comforts and attention the mother and
the one servant will be utterly unable to
give. Grim as this picture is, it is a
true one, as many with far more than
thousand dollars a year will tes ify.
But if Edwin must count the cost, SO,
too, must Angelina. Her share will be
no light one, though perhaps easier
borne than his. She must learn to
look into things in a minute and search
ing way that her old, easy lifewil make
dreadful trying darning aud plain sew
ing will have to replace the pretty fancy |
work of old days; she must bear to see |
her children gowithout dozens of things |
she as child deemed absolute necessi- |
ties (thank God! the children will not
be the worse, really,) while if she is
the loving wife she should be she will
be worried for her husband, and last,
but not least, must make up her
mind to forego most if not ALL the
pleasant society and variety Of her
glrllSh life A woman need not be very
worldly to regret keenly the loss of the
old intellectual enjoyments she priced /
so highly. 1t is not only the gayety
she misses, but the exchange Of thought
and the freshening and frightening of
her mind by intercourse with her social
and mental equals, and unfortunately,
the cleverer and brighter she is the
more she will feel the want and long
,unconsciously perhaps, but none the
s. surely for other than domestic
thoughts and household worries, and
mother kind of literature than those
red households. The result
)f this, it will be said, is, according to
you, that no one should marry on small
means. Not So altogether Happiness
$ perfectly compatible with Il straight
md income, only do not rush into such
| state without counting the cost before
mnd, not only for yourself, but for
'ach other and your children.

afternoon he spent in the Delmonico Ex change with number of his admirers
 nearly all of whom, following the example ot
 their brute leader, were intoxicated During
 general conversation on pugilistic topics a fellow named Hodgkins, who makes up
 in pluck what he lacks in stature, became en- gagged in a controversy with the man of mus cle. Sullivan would not allow any man to differ from him and soon became enraged, threatening to punish little Hodgkins The latter, however, was not to be scared and ig- nored Sullivans threat, whereupon the worlds champion pugilist caught Hodgkins by both arms and with his enormous head struck his little opponent between the eyes. At this point one of the lockers on named Deliere swore at Sullivan and said that he (Sullivan) was no man. Releasing Hodgkins from his grasp Sullivan, who was now mad with rage and liquor, struck De- Here, felling him to the floor. Sullivan, it is said, made repeated attempts to again reach Deliere, but the friends of the latter dragged him to further corner of the room The fight now became general and all present par ticipated. The melee had progressed but a short time when the bartender, named Mcguire, it is alleged, drew a revolver, the sight of which together with the prompt arrival of 8 detail of eight officers from station No. f headed by Officer Grady restored quiet, but not until all those present were more or less hurt. At the sight of the officers Sullivan was hurried from the saloon through rear door by his friends Deliere was carried to barroom across the way where both of his eyes and in fact his whole face was discovered to be in terrible condition. He was soon restored to con sciousness. But for the timely arrival of the police it is said that Sullivan would have perhaps been laid out, as Hodgkins was in the act of throwing bottle at the champions head.

He brought a mandamus suit to compel the company to permit him to have the of a telephone upon the usual conditions.

HARD WORK FOR FI.SEMEN. a Fierce Blaze in a Brooklyn Build.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 23.-About ? o'clock this afternoon fire broke out in the four story brick building No. B South Fifth street, Williamsburg, occupied by Charles Ross, jr, The fire caused by some turpentine running through the floor of the fourth story, occupied by the Stevens Speciality company, and dropping hot stove on the floor below. Two alarms were sent out to which the fremen qucikly responded, but the flames spread so rapidly that the firemen had the utmost difficulty in combating them. The third an3 fourth floors were entirely de stroyed. The loss to Ross is about S2, 50G, while that of the Stevens Speciality company is estimated ct 5000. The damage to the building, which is owned by Robert Paine, is 5000. Henry Higgins was badly burned and removed to the Eastern District hospit- al. The losses are fully insured.
