NEW YORK, March p. Queer creatures in

scripts, Of patterns 50 original and remarkable
that they become study are to be seen on
the highways, as well as in the byways. Like
all terrestrial things, they are Influenced by
the law Of progress. They keep up with the
times. Their line Of activity is bamboozling
the sympathetic and benevolent and new
roles are in demand when the old ones no
longer serve. The successful ones are geniuses
In their way, and know something about the
art of making up, as well as the art of acting.
Not infreguently there is histrionic talent
found here on street corners, at basement
doors and on stairways, which would make
itself renowned if it had a chance beyond the
footlghts. But an impostor in the drama
and an impostor in real life occupy different
places in the estimation Of the public A
beggar is pleasing and picturesque and pleas
ing in picture but abhorrent on the street
Rags are artistic in art and loathsome in fact
One Of the original frauds of this city is an
old woman who cries on the stairs This is
her regular occupation. That it is profitable
is evident, else she would give it up. For two
years, at least, she has pursued this peculiar
industry, and hasn't exhausted her tears yet
Copious but silent weeping is her speciality,
and she goes at it with business-like energy
and promptitude. Her outfit is a stock Of
frayed and rusty garments, a threadbare
hood, worn without intermission the year
through, and a big wooden pail Just what
the pals uses are nobody can say. but it is
supposed to he a reservoir for the old woman's
tears.
She solicits no assistance, not by words.
She stands stock still in one spot two. three
and sometimes four hours, weeping indus
triously every minute of the time Men and
women may come and go, but she stands still
and weeps and weeps. One thinks of the
lachrymal lines in the old, old ballad of Lord
LOWELL

able to see where the pecuniary results come
in but of course there are results or the
stairway weeper wouldn't exist. The idea
she aims to give out is that her griefs are too
overwhelming to put into words. She is
rooted to the spot with the extravagant weight
of her woe.
The people of New York see such sights
often, yet still their hearts neverquite harden.
Their purses open readily. 1t is easier to
drop small coin into the weeper's wooden
pail than to investigate her case; so she weeps
on. Next year, perhaps, she will have some
other plan for operating on the public's SYM
pathy.
The extremely pale thin man who meekly
halts an occasional pedestrian, usually
woman, and presents letter, to physician,
whose name and number can't be found, is a
most insidious fraud. His paleness and
emaciation constitute the most valuable part
of his stock in trade. He makes himself pale
by ingenious artitice, and knows how to keep
flesh off his bones and he happy, and never
work. Like the weeper of the public stair
ways he asks nothing in plain words. He
looks his requests. He answers questions in
unknown languages, and affects ignorance of
everything but his own woes

the post brought letter from Miss Eb'

A number of Indians recently attended
church service in Manitoba. During
the service one of them concluded to
have a smoke, and began filling his pipe.
Then he tried to light it but his matches
were poor and wouldn't burn. The
minister seeing the state of affairs, came
down from the pulpit and struck par
lor match. The Indians who had never
before seen parlor match were greatly
terrified, and thought they were about
to be massacrcd, but matters were finally
explained to them, and after the pipe
was lit, the service proceeded.
