Penny croeerls. In New York.

Within the last six months number OF
italians and Germans have started penny
groceries in the parts Of the city populated
by the poor, and these places all seem to be
prosperous and thriving. Ten cents Is
thought by these grocors to be big bill,
and the investor Of quarter is inevitably
regarded as a millionaire. In conversation
with o reporter loading retail grocer said
"There is no doubt that these penny
groceries are on the increase. They are an
evil and the penny grocer is really the poor
mans enemy instead of his friend. In the
penny grocery the poor man pays twice as
much for his provisions in the long run and
doesn't get as good quality as If he bought
them in moderate quantities from larger
stores. The penny groceries are stocked
with what the poor man is likely to buy.
The quality of the provisions is not good
the coffee and tea are especially poor, and
the vegetables invariably stale. Many of
the penny grocers sell bad whiskey to their
customers, but few allow it to be drank on
their premises"
An Italian who keeps penny grocery in
South Fifth avenue, hear Blocker street
gives the following list as an illustration of
what can be done in a penny grocery with
/, silver uuarfer.

The sbo,,,ner,. ,r.o.

The French muf is the latest device of
the female shoplifter, and by those familiar
with its construction and perfect adaptable
ity to lite business it is conceded TO be the
neatest thing known.
The holiday period is the choicest season
Of the year for the shoplifter, but it has
been shorn Of q large share of its profits by
alert floor walkers, who have become per-
fectly familiar with the C warehouse {"
dresses and cIoaks of the professionals.
Until the advent of the French muff the
ladies who lived by picking up valuable
laces, silks, and fancy articles in the large
stores had no particular comfort in their
calling, but with the new device they have
been able to reap harvest despite the
lynx-eyed professional counter watchers
The shoplifter's muf Is, outwardly, above
suspicion, there being nothing about it to
betray its capacity for concealing plumber
II is covered with any kind Of fur, just as
honest muffs are, with the significant excep.
ton that, instead OF being padded with cot
ton, the fur rests upon framework Of wire
Between the fur covering and the wire sup
porting frame the space usually filed with
cotton is left vacant, thus providing accom-
mediation for quite stock of valuable lace
articles Of jewelry, gloves, or anything else
small and valuable.
In the bottom of the muff there is q small
slide on the inside, worked by the hand of
the wearer, who, after introducing the arti-
Gle stolen into the muf, presses back this
slide and drops the plumber into the cavity
between the frame and the fur. With one
of these muffs shoplifting is SO easy as to
be successfully practised by noyices, ms not
one store walker III n thousand would sus-
pect that his counters could be worked
througha rnuff worn as these are when In
action. The operator rests her hand, with
the nun on it, ON the goods which abe pro-
poses TO sample, and moment Of diverted
attention on the part Of the salesman or
salesvoman is ample for her to transfer to
her ingenious warehouse such samples as
abe can conveniently and quickly pick up
with one hand. The movement Of conceal
ing the stolen articles is instantaneously
executed, and, however well the muff may
be- stuffed, it cannot be bulged out to at
tract attention, like cloak or dress.

POETRY.
The Working Woman

The Working Woman.
With whip Of many singing strands,
Need drove her to the mart,
Where Tolls rude chains enslaved her hands,
But could not bind her heart.
When the winds outside her easement called
AS they went roaming by,
The prison walls her life enthralled,
She looked on with sigh.
Yet flowers of word and deed she wreathed
About the bonds she wore,
Forgot at times what air she breathed
What heavy weights she bore.
When thickenIng dust filled all the street
And choked the blinded day,
Her fancy fed where wide seas beat;
She felt the COOL salt spray
Flung by the pillows nuttering hands
Across the weary space
That held her from the shining sands
Drop kisses on her face.
Dark, fiower-lit woods she wandered through,
She heard the wild bird sing,
In sunny haunts where violet blue
Look up to greet the spring.
The city's harsh ana deafening sounds
Unheeded round her fell,
When thought oerstepped the narrow bound,
OF Labor's citadel.
With woman's tender, loving guile,
She hid her captive mark,
Covered her bruises with smile,
And sang songs in the dark.
o world, still slumberlng, while Wrong retgas
Thou art the King, arise
Release her from her slayish chains,
The Princess In disguise.
Her wanderlngs long from realm and crown
Leave deselate thy throne;
Receive thy Queen, to her bow down,
And bring her to her own.

TIE New Members.

The new members, who took their seats
for the first time on Monday, were very
much disappointed that they had no oppor-
ttinity to introduce bills. I saw one men,
Der last night who was very sanguine a..week
ago. He brought with him when he came,
bill relating to the tariff, which he had
prepared after months of hard labor. He
expected that the House would take it,
listen to his explanation and pass II within
forty.eight hours. OF course he was disap-
pointed, with the rest Of his associates. II
is wonderful how the light strikes some OF
these new Congressman after the first two
or three days OF actual official life. A man
who has been in the State Senate, for in.
stance, or even an Alderman in his, own
Common Council, has been used to courte-
GUS treatment from all sides, and he ex-
pected that in accepting the nomination and
election to Congress he had consented to
climb up one more step on the ladder OF
fame. He swells around the hotel Hobbies
on the Saturday before the meeting, where
the candidates for the various positions
under the House seek him. BY Wednesday
he has made up his mind that he is but a
very small atom in what goes to make up
the void of politics. He has drawn a seat
on the back row, where he can hear nothing
and see but little more, and he finds that
all his air-castles and bright plans Of life
here have been knocked in the head, and
that his chances of advancement and fame
are exceedingly email = Washington Litter.
