New York Sun.
Il was immensely amused, yesterday af-
ternoon about ) O'Clock, at spectacle | saw
on Fifth avenue" remarked a clerk in 4
popular uptown hotel as he leaned over and
looked at the reflection Of his dia-
monds in the polished surface of
the desk. "Thc spectacle attracted a good
deal of attention, and fel Justified in stand
ing on the corner and waving nv hand ma
iestically at it as it passed by. 1t didn't no.
tice me, but have already forgiven it"
'tWhat was itl'
"It was young man about "a years Of
age who had been fixture in our bar room
for four years. You may have observed in
the papers within the past two weeks 4 notice
Of the death Of 4 dealer in plumbing supplies,
who was eccentric, aud lived over bis
shop to the end Of his days, de-
spite the fact that he accumulated
a million. His only son had aspirations
above his fathers business, aud the father
kicked him out two years ago. After that
the boy lived at this hotel-that is, he passed
his days and nights here, but slept in some
remote lair that none Of US have been able 10
find.
During this time he was the laughing
the hall boys aud the porters, but had a
wholesome fear Of the men behind
the desk. He would gaze at the swels
going IN and out with the utmost rev
erence, and was perpetually irving to initiate
them. His shoes were invariably run down
at the heel, his linen was frayed, and his
coat sleeves were short for him We guved
him numerically, but he took it all with the
most naughty mien immagiuable. aud now
he IS evidently taking his revenge. He has
fallen into a million by his fathers death,
aud to-day / caught him doing the grand.
He certainly isn't over four feet and a-half
high, he wears a pug nose and pair of huge
ears, and bis whitish hair is cropped short.
When l caught sight OF him he was bowling
up the avenue in the finest STYLE OF the art.
he wore a white top coat, white over
CATERS, silk hat, and pair Of
yellow gloves, and sat on top OF the biggest
Oog-cari | ever saw. Il bad big red wheels,
which looked rs If thew had been taken of
fire engine, and huge red BODY. Il was
yaukcd along by high-stepping piebald
horse. and on the box. bolsicrcd M With the
cushions aud h fOo;st0ol or ottoman on
which 10 rest his feet-his legs were not long
enough 20 reach the Il ior-sat his nibs. A
single eveClass dauCied over bis breast his
elbows were a6imbO, and every time the
horse shook his head it looked as If he would
vauk the youugstcr of his feet aud
toss him up as though thrown from a bean
shooter. Beside him was a big footm2n,
and both OF them were talkiug affaby as
they climbed up the avenue. T1e horse
had A sort Of pile-iriyer action with the fore
legs, and the heavy chains on his harness
ratified loudly. That Young millionaire is
the biggest man in New York to-day, and be
will continue 10 think SO until he meets
some other millionaire who really is the
swell, and then he will fad oct his weak
points in very short order.
Then the CLERK looked az the rejection Of
his symmetrical head In the uirrol behind
tie desk. auj then fell n staring the guests
