Upon his arrival in New York he took the
first employment he could find, which proved
to be in small grocery in Williamsburg.
He subsequently became "timekeeper" at
the Novelty Iron works, and then learning
that firm of iron manufacturers were in
need of a book keeper, he boldly applied for
the situation, and although he knew scarcely
anything of the requirements of the position,
succeeded in obtaining and holding the place
at salary of $8 week. Within very
short time his salary had been nearly
doubled. His executive ability was speedily
recognized. and when, in 1857, the junior
member of the firm died, the sole manage
ment of the details Of the business was in
trusted to young Flynn. Two years later
he was given a small interest in the firm, and
on May l, 1870 was admitted to the firm as
an equal partner.
During all these years he had been assidu-
GUS in his studies. He lived in Brooklyn,
but regularly for several years at: ended the
night school at Cooper Union, and being
quick to learn, rapidly acquired fair
knowledge of the French, German and
Spanish languages. which he has since

The Celestia1s of New York.

New York has quite number of rich
Cinnamon, but there are many more of
the poverty stricken, vicious class who
have hard work to keep the spark of life
within them. The better class and the
married men remain ON the Pacific coast
as rule. One seldpm sees Chinaman
with mustache in that city. The hair of
the face indicates whether John is child
less or the proud father of an heir, male
or female. A man may not adorn his
upper lip with hair until he has son. A
daughter coming subsequently entities
him to wear a full beard, although the
whiskers of the Oriental are scraggy
affairs. The advent of baby girl at first
born is regarded among the Chinese as a
calamity. Wherever Cinnamon obtain
residence the vicious and criminal secure
foothold. The Chinese quarter in New
York is in Mott street, and a very large
percentage of the Mongolians there obtain
their living through running gambling
games or keeping opium joints. Opium
smoking is one of the bad habits which
John takes with him wherever he goes,
and which he introduces among his neigh
bors to greater or less extent-New

Cruel and wild the battle:
Great horses plunged and reared.

Dlood-red with sunsets angry flush,
You heard the gun-shot's rattle.
ana, mid hoof-tramp and rush.
The shrieks of women speared,
For it was Russ and Turkoman-
NO quarter asked or given:
a Whlrl of frenZied hate and death
Across the desert driven.
LOOK! the half-naked hordes give way,
fleelng frantic without breath,
Or nope, or WILL and on behind
Inc troopers storm, in blood-thirst blind,
While, like dreadful fountain-play,
Inc swords flash up, and fall and slay-
wives, grandsires, baby brows and gray,
Groan after groan, yell upon yell
Are men but fiends, and is earth hell?
Nay, for out of the flight and fear
Spurs Russian cuirassier: -----e--.s-.g
In his arm child he bears,
Her little foot bleeds; stern she stares
Back at the ruin of her race.
The small hurt creature sheds no tear,
Nor utters cry; but clinging still
10 this one arm that does not kill
she stares back with her baby face
Apart fenced round with ruined gear,
The hurrying horseman finds space,
Where, with face crouched upon her knee,
A woman covers. You see him stoop
And reach the child down tenderly,
Then dash away to join his troop.
How came one pulse of pity there
One heart that would not slay, but save
In all that Christ-forgotten sight?
War there, far north by Neva's wave,
Some Russian girl in sleep-robes white,
Making her peaceful evening prayer,
That heavens great mercy meath its care
Would keep and cover him tonight?

Int,amation of Transported Eees.

Soon after it became the practice to
transport eggs in large quantities and to
long distances by railway trains it was
found on their arrival that adhesion had
taken place between the membranes of
the yelk and those of the shell, so that the
yelk could not be turned out of the shell
unbroken. On examination by expert
enced pathologists this was found to be
the result of true Inflammation; the mate
rial of the adhesion was found to be pre-
cisely the same as that of the plastic eXu-
dation in Inflammation of the lungs or

it seems, the egg, even when fresh laid. is

aThe finest spring of water ever saw
said a passenger from Florida, 4is down in
fernando county, On the gulf side. The
land is high and rolling, and not fiat and
swainpy, as the most OF Flori.it is. ana as
most folk think it all isi, The Wekowechee
river in that county is twelve miles long,
and about the prettiest stream ever saw.
1T is made entirely by enc spring, and this
spring is sixty feet in diameter. You can
row boat right into it, but you can't
make boat stay in the center, as the
force of the waters rising throws it gently
to one side. A small steamer can navigate
the river, whose banks are high and
covered with foliage. The spring has the
plrest water that ever flowed out of the
earth. It is seventy feet to bottom, and
you can see dime dsswn there Just MS
plain as you can in u glass of water. In
the river You can see fish twenty rods
away. Not the slightest trace of organic
matter can be found in tie spring water. 4
This river and spring, by the way, have
been purchased BY two Chicago gentle
men. They got some 800 acres Of land
there for something like $1,000 and they

the treasury department, and in fact of the

who broke down the barrier which prevented
their performing cerical work for the gov

when the regular clerks were disappearing

there were not going to be men enough to go

Gen. Spinner was born in New York state
in 1902 His father was clergyman and
the cashier of the Mohawk Val ey bank for
twenty years. He gave his son classical
education He learned several trades and
then embarked merchant He was ap-

Gen. Spinner retired to private life July

the United States treasury till had to be
