An Easy Place.

Success Is obtained only by earnest eff

those who do not make a success that are
always on the look out for au easy place;
and, after they find themselves in posi-

considerably improve their condition,
rather than make the effort they allow
themselves to make an easy place for
their individual comfort, and let their

counterfoiters' Fate In china.


Two coppersmiths out OF employment in
Hankow privately formed little company to
make copper cash, and began their operations
for some reason by melting down about eight
pounds Of imperial copper coins. The band
had made but little progress IN their secret
trade, having only manufactured altogether
some 10000 scoins equivalent to little more
than f3, when they were captured, tried and
condemned. According to the report, the
ringleader was sentenced to immediate decapi-
tation for melting down coin of the realm;
the next, who had assisted in the work of
coming, was sentenced to decapitation after
imprisonment; while two others, who had
poliEhed the spurious coins, and the last who
acted as kookkeeper, were treated not as prin-
cipals, but as accessories, liable to importa-

A Story on the Marquis.


There are more good stories told in New
York than in any other part Of the world, and
the cafe of the Hoffman House is one Of the
favorite resorts OF the reconteurs. The other
afternoon party Of actors and newspaper
men were swapping yarns at one Of its tables
when u fayorte comedian told the following
at the expense OF noble Stud" of fstlc fame:
"An English friend of mine was telling me
last night Of slumberiug trip he made
recently with the Marquis of Gooseberry.
They took In Baxter, Mott, and several other
streets of like unsavory reputation, and finally
landed on tue Bowery, Feeling the need OF
little heavy wet, they went into saloon,
The barman,' said my friend, was what
you Americans call a regular tough. He was
waiting on lot OF customers at the other end
OF the bar, and 1t was not until we had called
him twice that he deIgned to give us glance.
He seemed to conceive an instant dislike of
my friend the Marquis and showed II plainly
by:sneeringly asking, "Well, give II nameW
I'm go an egg flip said the Marquis.
"'Get on to his jagsp insolently remarked
the fellow 10 his pals at the other end Of the
bar. They turned toward US, and looked us
all over very superciliously. AS they did 80,
the barman accosted the Marquis In most
ruffianly manner, saying: 'Yeh'll go whatP
"Ill' go an egg hip,' repeated the Mar
quis, with trace OF temper in bis words. The
barman noticed the fact, and, doubtless wish
ing to raise disturbance, responded: You'll
go to sheol-that's what you'll do The
Marquis was astonished at the fellows impu-
| dence, but he is a man of great determination.
| So no hxed his eye firmly on those of the bar
| man, and then answered him in the most posi-
| tive manner: Il shall do nothing of tho kind.
| After that he turned on his neel, aud we both
| walked out OF the door"
This can hardly be true story, for Bowery
bartenders don't, as rule, care to drive trade
away from their saloons, and II "Gooseberry"
was Queensberry the story would hardly have
such lame and impotent conclusion.

There is said to be but one exception among

Theatre last year. Her name is Elsie Leslie.
She is not 10 years OF age and she is at present
playing at the Boston Museum in "Little Lord

Broadway. She is unquestonably a child of
genius,and the stories that actors and actresses
tell OF her are apt to make the novices start,
for she seems TO have acquired the rudiments
of dramatic art after the most thorough and
lsborious fashion. She is sweet-tempered
child. Her mother is her constant compan-
ion and It Is due TO maternal care that she has
not lost the charm of her youthfulness and
innocence. The mother went around among
