Boston and Philadelphia.

The voice of Providence-or Providence
man-beard through the New York Mail, is
as follows:
Bostopians have a great liking for Phila
deIphians, and vice versa; but both have
very poor opinion of New Workers.. The
causes of this prejudice are Interesting 70
seek. The Athens of America, which re-
sembles the real Athens more closely than
painted cat resembles Bengal tiger, has not
a few distinguished citizens-rentiers who
have crossed and recrossed the ocean. some
professional men, and young men with ex-
pectations not too remote. These gentlemen
all have their Harvard College diplomas
safely thrust into the inner pockets of their
vests, and as they saunter to and from their
homes on Beacon street and Commonwealth
avenue. regard themselves and are regarded
as personages of national or even worldwide
importance. When these Arcadian Athen-
isns visit Philadelphia their claims are not
only allowed but magnifed. A Bostonian in
Philadelphia is as great man as London
cockney in Montreal. Even his silence hides
the wisdom of sphinx. The stupidest man
| ever knew, by holding his tongue week,
married the brightest girl in Philad lphia =
(he wishes now probably that he had spoken)
but that has nothing to do with the argu-
ment
So Philadelphians in Boston have d;stin-
guished time of it. But when they come to
New York, there is II heavy change. The
fact that your grandfather sold Fresh Pond
ice or was the agent for the Snip'uit mills,
or was murdered BY the Molly Maguires
while defending his own coal mine, falls
coldlv upon the Latnean ear of the daughter
of the Manhattan millionaire. How much
gold have you in your pocket or on the tip of
your tongue? This is the chief question.

in this place for information as to the low

and manner. Whose would they be if
not mine?''
. In the name of goodness, then, how
old are they" asked the agent, mopping
the preparation from his forehead
Well, sir" SAID the woman, after a
short mental calculation, three of them
are 8, three of them are Z, two of them are
D, and three of them are years old"
Agent Foster dropped into a chair as
though some one had hit him with club.
Madam, said he, you deserve to
have pass for twelve. Come in again in
few d. y, and III see what can be DONE"
The agent in the meantime ascertained
that the woman's name was Cullen. She
lived at Gales Tannery, six miles from
Hondesdale. Her husband is e laboring
man, and about three years ago went 10
Warren to work. and had short time ago
sent for his wife and children The couple
had been married ten years. Mrs. Cullen s
statement as to the number and the age of
her children was substantiated by neigh
bors. She had presented her husband With
eleven children at four births

Thomas at Chic,.ano.nrn.

Colonel Duffield's talk on Chickamau-
q" i'll the war series of the Young Mems
Christian Association was listened to by
an audience which crowded the assembly,
room to OVERLOOKING. OF Thomas memoir
able st md the Colonel said With but
1000 men, all of whom were worn and
wearied with the fighting of the previous
forty eight hours, with both of his tanks
exposed he saw the whole rebel army of
more tthan 65, 900 men, more than heif ef
them fresh and unfought, sweeping in a
circle toward him with line of steel, as
the scythe sweeps round upon the fated
grass. Stouter hearts than even brave
men have would quail at such a sight.
Defeat, nay, humiliation, seemed newt
able. But there Thomas sat upon his heavy
charger, calm as a statue. His hat had
been thrown from his head by the over
hanging branches in his rapid ride. His
lips were pale and compressed. His square
Jaw was firm set. His heavy brow was
furrowed by a frown, and his shaggy eve
brows contracted until they all but hid his
eyes. But on either cheek small round
flush shone in the sunlight, and we who
knew him well, we who had seen him at
Stone river, where the right gave way,
seeing that flush knew at once that the in
domitable will of Old Pap Thomas" had
hidden defiance TO the rebel hordes, and
had registered the VOW that they should
never take that ridge, though the dead
should cover it more thickly than the corn
hills over which we fought Victory we
dare not hope for, but we knew that as
surely as that the sun went down that
night Thomas would held that ridge or lie
dead among the brave defenders on its
crest. To look at him was to drink in
courage. To be near him was to share his
bravery. He seemed indeed to be the very
God OF war.-[Detroit Free Press, Novem-
