The Snowman and the Railroad Man.

Brooklyn Union Gossip.
The means of revenge for a joke which an
actor employed is one of the most remarkable
things in the line of retaliatory measures | ever
heard of. 1t seems that a railroad man in Chi
cago perpetrated a Joke on an actor. who set his
wits TO work to think up some plan to get even.
1t took him several days to hatch Il it, but the in
cubation was something that surpassed all pre-
vious efforts. Wherever the Snowman Travelled
he would search for the latest dates Of the Chi
cago papers. He would hunt out the advertise
ments asking for the return of stolen goods, and
write to the advertisers saying that they could
have their property back by applying to the
railroad man, and paying a consideration. The
railroad mans Office wss thronged daily with the
people who came for stolen dogs, diamonds,
watches, clothes, 'hand-carts, and everything else
stealable. There was no let up in the crowds
that daily thronged to his Office. The Snowman
was industrious, and never allowed aday to pass
without answering every advertisement that he
could discover. He went on for weeks and weeks
until the railroad man was distracted. AT last
a big. burly fellow came to the railroad mans
Office one day and inquired for tho gentleman.
He was shown into the private apartment, and,
in order to make no mistake in identity, he
asked, ''Is this Mr.. So and So!' The railroad
man returned an affirmative reply. The visitor
asked if they were alone, and the railroad man
the door, locked it and put the key in his pocket.
Now, you internal scoundrel, ] am going to
teach you a lesson" said he to the railroad man.
You are a monument of impudence. You steal
my watch, and now you coolly inform me that /
can have 1t back for a consideration. l am
going to thrash the life out Of you" With that
he pitched in and gave the railroad man a terri
bic pummelling. The railroad mar is now seek
ing the scalp Of the Snowman.

Cyrus ". Field and His Eccentricitics.

Brooklyn Union.
Mr.. Field is a worshiper of titles and things
English. He is proud of the Lords, and Earls,
and Dukes, and other people of rank whom he
can reckon among his acquaintance. There is
an old story about Mr.. Field that he shakes
hands with a person according to his wealth or
position. If The person occupies a high rank he
Will give him his whole hand, and if he is a
person in the middle station he will give him
three fingers perhaps, and if a poor and humble
citizen, one finger Is enough. 1t is a fact that
Mr.. Field has a great habit of shaking hands
with one finger, and he seems to regret allowing
that to be used for shaking purposes. A thing
that has given him as much a reputation AS any
thing else in Wall street is his door-banging
propensity. When he enters an office he slams
the door with might and main, and while in
gathers his strength to slam it again when
he goes out. The door of one office which he fire.
quents, rs | am told, required repairing from
his banging four times within a year. Most
people have an idea that Mr.. Field is a CrCesus.
He is not an extremely wealthy mar for a Wall
street figure. On paper Jay Gould is worth
from 500, 600, GOO to $40, 000, 900, and Russell Sage
from $50, 600, 600 to $50. 600, coo. The best esti-
mates put Mr.. Fields wealth at about $3, 200, COO.
and that is in all probability the extent of it.
The average person, no doubt, thinks Mr.. Field
as wealthy as Mr.. Sage, and some think he is
almost as wealthy as Nh. Gould. The truth is,
Mr.. Field is rather a pretentious man. and his
airs perhaps have created an idea of great wealth
He is not an operator IN Wall street in the sense
that Gould is at all. Gould is a scalper of tho
MAI ket-that is, he will push stocks up or down,
AS the case may be, to get two or three points
profit. Field always goes in for long deals like
the Manhattan. he may go short Of q stock and
work months and months to BANNER it down
with the intention of buying at the bottom for a
long reaction. When the bottom is reached ho
will begin booming operations. Mr.. Field was a
leader in the Western Union and New York
Central pools, and he is supposed to have made
considerable money in the last rise in stocks.

A Philadelphia grand jury, charged
with the duty of investigating the condi-
ton of certain alms-house buildings in
that city, in their report refer to the
liquor traffic as a cause of pauperism as
follows: In the performance of our
duty we have been deeply impressed
with the fact that four-fif,hs ii not nine
tenths, of the 5000 paupers and Grim
inals which fill our public institutions
are in their present sad and dcplorable
condition through the influence of in

these institutions to determine the cost
of the liquor traffic to this city; if We
estimate the increase of the police force
necessary to meet lis requirements; the

idleness which it fosters; the poverty
and disgrace which it entails; the
burdens and expenses which it entails
upon our courts OF iustice and five add
to these the perpetual support of so
large number of paupers and Grim
inals, the loss which we suffer is in
calculable."

WEBSTER AND HIS HEAD.

The Picture of One Time Sickly Boy
Mistaken for a Design for Jupiter.
Webster used to drive in his gig from
Boston, and sometimes from bingham,
over the road to Marshfeld. On such
occasions troops of children would come
flocking out and follow after him, so
great a fascination did he have for them.
And have seen somewhere how little
child, on entering the room where
Webster was seated, and, looking up
into his great soft eyes, ran instinctively
into his arms, as if yearning to get as
near as possible to his great tender
heart As an infant he is described as
a crying baby who worried his parents
considerably. He grew up to boyhood
pale, weak and sickly; as he himself
told me. he was the slimmest in the
family. And yet by doing boys work

A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
The Manner in Which the Native New
foundland Deer Migrate From One Por-
ton of the Island to Another.

The Manner in Which the Native New
foundland Deer Migrate From One Por-
ton of the Island to Another.
The native Newfoundland deer is the
caribou of reindeer, specimen superior
to those Of Lapland or Norway, and
sometimes weighing as much as six
hundred pounds. These deer inhabit
the interior of the island, not in hun
dreds but in thousands; some who have
seen their armies in the marching season
think in hundreds of thousands. The
interior being wilderness, they find
no interruption save now and again
once in fifty years-when an explorer
pushes his way across the region which
through the summer they make their
home. The marching time of the herds
is as regular as the seasons. When
snow covers the ground in the north
western portion of the island they turn
their faces toward the south, and by
steady marches along the leads, reach
the southwestern or less severe part of
the island, where through the winter
months they can get browse and lichens.
Some of those who have been camped
near the main lead in the marching
time have left on record that the deer
do not move in very large bodies, for
that would prevent them from grazing
freely, but that they march in herds of
from twenty to couple of hundred,
that one such body is connected with
another by means of a sort of picket,
and that each detachment is led by a
tall stag. What a glorious sight for the
huutsman from his eminence to see
body after body of these bright-eyed,
nimble-footed animals, bending their
course in true, parallel lines, either to-
ward the north or the south with the
regularity and the order OF masses of
soldiers! Such a sight has often been
seen.-F'0rcSt and Stream.

"a TRAGEDY"
With q Moral.


This is poem on Spring, so fair,
of warbling birds and balmy air,
OF cooling breeZes, babblng brooks,
OF beauty, love and coy hooks.
This is the ''fend" with struggling hair,
Cheek monumental and courage rare;
Who wrote the "pome on Spring, so fair"
of whispering breezeS, balmy air,
Lowing herds and gurgiing brooks;
The same we read about in books.
This is the editor filed with care,
Hungry for more substantial fare
Than poems on Spring-his back most bare
Through need of better clothes to wear
Who seized the ''hend" with lengthy hair
That wrote the poem on Spring, so fair
Nor stopped to question why or where,
But hurled him headlong down the stair.
MORAL.
Poets! take warning from this rhyme,
And if you wish to save much time
And trouble, keep your poems ALL
And when the evening shadows fan
Just build a fire in the stove,
Then take your poems on Spring, and love,
And burn them al-dou't spare one line
Ye gOdsl twould be an act divine.

Leaving Wrangle to battle with its

and past pleasant coves and by the side

greeted us as we moved lazily along our

the channels were filled with water as
smooth as glass, the coloring was rich
and the vegetation rich and abundant.
Alaska, so often considered bleak, and
bare and cold, appeared in its true
light. Whatever it was elsewhere, here
in the South at least it was warm and
sensuous, picturesque from guarded
cove to distant peaks of snow which
lighted up the blueness that existed, but
threw no chill upon the region. The
country is Switzerland enlarged, full of
sharp contrasts in color studded with
mountains of various shape and size.
And here at Chilcat, near the sixtieth
degree of latitude, there are serated
ranges with whitened heads shining

the waters of Pyramid Harbor, where
