A Book Hunter.

A cup of coffee. eggs and rolls
Sustain him on his morning strolls;
Unconscious Of the passers-by
He trudges on with doWncast eye;
He wears queer old hat and coat,
Suggestive of style remote;
His manner is preoccupied-
A shambling gait from side to side.
For him the sleek, bright-wndowed shop
Is all in vain-he does not stop.
His thoughts are fixed on dusty shelves
Where musty volumes hide themselves
Rare prints of poetry and prose,
And quaintly-lettered folios--
Perchance parchment manuscript,
In some forgotten corner slipped.
Or monk-illumined missal bound
In vellum with brass clasps around;
These are the pictured things that throng
His mind the while he walks along.
A dingy street, Z cellar dim,
With book-lined walls suffices him.
The dust is white upon his sleeves;
He turns the yellow, dog-eared leaves
With just the same religious look
That priests give to the Holy Book.
He does not heed the sitting air
If so he finds treasure there.
He knows rare books, like precious wines.
Are hidden where the sun ne'er shines;
For him delicious fiavors dwell
In books as in old Muscatel;
He finds in features of the type
A clew to prove the grape was ripe.
And when he leaves this dismal place.
Behold, smile lights up his face!
Upon his cheeks genial glow
Within his hand Boccaccio,
A first edition, worn with age,
'tFirenze'' on the title page.

Women Who Pay to BE Le Act.

tNyn trink!e 5 Letter,
l was very much surprisel tl ia day,
to learn that one dramatic a s,al i.ad re.
duced this thing to a system. and had sue
ceeded for several seasons in keeping com
pany on the road, and even in making
money, by charging women a good round
sum to place them in a company. He keeps
an advertisement staining in some Of the
papers offering to furnish talented anna
teurs with good positions. He then strikes
them for $500 or l.OOe apiece, gets capital
enough to start his show, gives them subor-
dinate places and drops them out at the end
of the season.
A few months ago well-known woman
produced a play at the Fifth Avenue theatre
in which were three Indifferent female
amateurs who paid all the expenses for the
privilege of airing their dresses and good
looks was told not long ago of a score Of
cheap companies then on the road whose
female stars were paying weekly sums to
the managers that they might act, and two
at least of these managers came back with
money in their pockets, although they un-
loaded their companies somewhere in the
west Only last week saw a woman who
had 8, 1000 in one hand and fve-act play
in the other, and she did not hesitate to say
that they went together. Whoever took one
would get the other. Had she got upon Union
Square with this proposition she would have
had a tail Of impecunious managers as long
as ST. Patrick's procession.
1t is difficult to determine whether the
woman with money or tie woman with ig-
norance is the most industrious in these ex-
ploits. have seen q number Of reputable
managers besieging woman to invest her
money in legitimate theatrical enterprise in
vain, and gay Lothsrio with big dia-
mond whip in and bag the whole Of it with
out winking. 1t costs this order of woman
$4,000, to $4,000 to discover that business
isn't done that way.

In order that persons who are not familiar
with Washington City, may not be deceived
by the misleading and unreliable statements,
made by a railroad company that is striving
by false pretense, TO Givert travel which usu-

aged lines, it is desirable that the readers of
this paper should be made aware of the facts
in regard to the terminal facilities of the rail-
roads entering Washington City.
The station of the Pennsylvania railroad
is the only first-class station in the city; it is
located on Pennsylvania avenue, in the
centre of the town in close proximity to all
the leading hotels, and within two minutes
walk of the Capitol building The station
used by the other line reaching Washington
from the West, is a second-class building,
located in a hollow, on back street. and un-
less strangers arriving by that line take carri-
ages, they will encounter more or less diff
Guilty in reaching their places of abode.
No Railroad in America has as good facili-
ties as the Pennsylvania for taking care of a
large volume Of passenger business. This
was established during the Centennial Exposi-
ton in 1876, and allintelligent people know
that the Pennsylvania, through her superior
ity in construction. equipment and manage
ment, still holds her proud position as the
leading Railroad of the world.

Dropping into the private office of q big
firm Of brokers recently found the princi-
pals, together with a number of friends, alb
sorbed in curious game Of chance. On the
table round which the players were gathered
there was a small, obiong box. A railing
ran around the edges and the. lid was punct-
ured with holes. Four Jumps Of sugar, num-
bered from one to four, were laid on this
box, and the players watched them sedu-
lously.
By-and-by cockroach emerged from one
Of the holes and crawled up the lump Of
sugar marked number two. Instantly one
of the Observers scooped a sum of money
from off the table He had bet on number
two, and these we're his winnings
/ watched the curious game for an hour,
during which good deal Of cash changed
hands, and not word was uttered. A Ger

the unfortunate broker, who crucifed it with
a penknife.

The foregoing conversation occurred be-

grocer, in the back part Of the latters store.
"I'll just tell you how it happened, SAM"
said Baxter. "As you KNOW l didn't go to

The staff correspondent of The New York

nothing is ready and not likely to be ready,

coming to the show until next spring or
maybe next fall, for these dilatory southern
ers will take their own time and their own
methods But if they do come they must
come with cloaks and shawls and blankets,
for there is no climate so detestible; one day
is sweltering, blistering sun and you have
to walk under the shade of umbrellas, and
the next cold, damp atmosphere that chills

you can't get close enough to the fire to

have said something good about something
or somebody.
He says that the whole thing is torn up by
petty jealousies and that Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, who is at the head of the women's de-
partment, has been hawked at so much by
the southerners that she will resign and 60

A rural detective writes a county official
here letter, in which he claims to have be-
come possessed of evidence that gang Of
counterfeiters is operating in the western
part Of this county, and offers his services to
break it up, and capture the "queer" charac-
tiers. His proposition is that the matter be
brought to the atte ntion of the county COM
missioners at once, and that they offer reas-
enable reward, besides advancing money
enough to permit the detective to begin oper-
atoms. The thing is so indefinite and the
writer of the letter so entirely unknown to
the commissioners, that it is likely they will
seek q personal interview with the rural
Vidocq before making very extensive ap-
preparation of public funds.

IDhiIol olalnhiu praSs

Close to that unsavOry hostelrie, the "Blaz-
ing Rag there are several little stores calle1
general Shops where the very poor buy
nearly all their necessities. the newspaper
man entered one of the stores and, finding
an old acquaintance of former stories behind
the counter. was soon in discussion on the
cent and what can be obtained for that coin.
II guess good many of my customers are
cent ones,' said the store-keeper, brawny
Irishman, "but it's precious little that they
get. You can buy this roll" showing
very diminutive loaf, "but there ain
more than four bites in it; or you can take
your choice of crackers, two of them or
four of those, OF one of them, but they'd be
no use to a hungry man. You can buy
mead Of cabbage for cent, but cabbage
amt no use without q fire to cook it, unless
you are goat Or rabbit. Then you can
get bit of soap, brown, coarse stuff, which
makes everything smell what it washes, or
cents worth of snuff, or tobacco, or a skein
of thread, or two needles, or one pickle, or
one onion, or apple, or five sticks Of wood,
enough to start fire, or short tallow can
die, or a paper of pins, or two ounces of
-four, or little vinegar, or some coal oil
The oil is about the best thing you can get,
as it is enough to keep lamp burning all
night Then you can buy two envelopes or
tive sheets of writing paper, a box of
matches, six gum-drops, monkey on
stick, shoe-lace, q small package Of pepper,
starch, or good lump Of salt, or a large
handful of soda, and that's about the list
"It's the scent piece that is the coin of the
poor in this country, not the cent In Eng
lani penny can buy good meal There
are soup kitchens all over London where you
can get bowl of thick pea broth or stewed
eels for ons copper, or you can buy large
piece of fried fish or bag Of fried potatoes,
or half pint Of beer or porter, or half a
pound or more Of bread, or rasher Of ba-
con, or a sleeps tongue, or plate of Irish
stew, made of potatoes and Australian NUT
ton, or q thick slice Of plum pudding, or a
plateful of pease pu lding. You can quite
satisfy your hunger for penny in London,
just as you can for scent piece here, but
you can't do it for a cent, and l hope you
will never have to try"

A man, whose name could not be learned,
reported to officer Norton this morning that
while on West Main street car last night he
gave the driver a $50 gold piece, thinking it
was silver dollar. The latter hanied him
change for 81, and the passenger did not no.
tice his mistake until after he left the car.
The matter was reported at the street-car
Office, but As the driver was of duty, nothing
could be learned of it.
