went by, fun Of people who seemed to be
pleased about something. Four trains went
by before got time to pull down the blind,
and then / found that II would not pull
down Folks that ride on these elevator
trains tel ms that they SEQ many strange
sights. Its z p2naramIner Of home life
which Is flied with hunorsome and sad
things IN bot weather 4 big family fights
tieIoid fever and makes cigars ia the same
room, and there ain't clothes enough In the
whole outfit TO TTad a gun. Such Is life in
the large towns. They also get 80 that they
don't care for the FOLKS that ride by and look
In their windows. They get used to dress
ing and undressing before large audiences,
and finally they get 80 that even a fulldrsss
ball would not shock them. For myself, |
must say that when 525, 900 people in twenty
four hours have a chance to see me make
my toilet it makes me shudder.
"May 11.-This is a busy mart Of trade
and general vortex Of traffick. 1t makes
my head buzz ali the time. Every man in
New York is Just in the act Of catching a
train, or a car or ferry-boat, and he acts
as if he didn't look for another one again
till fall. Just as quick as you begin to act
like you had time to reach the place you are
going to you are looked upon with suspicion
and told to move Oh, or asked 10 buy draft
of some one. SO d good deal of this haste
is put on, L think.
Il saw a man push over several old peo-
pie and walk on some children this morn
ing he was in such a hurry to catch train
down town, and thought he had repreave
for some man that was to be executed at
ten o'clock. When | got down town by the
post-office found him reading the bulletins
in front of the newspaper Offices.
Another man most killed me in his mad
rush to get aboard north bound train. He
got off at Eighteenth street, and two hours
afterwards | found him still in crowd of
five hundred people, watching two rats tied
together by the tails and throwed across a
TELEGRAPH wire. So I have about decided
that when you sec a man in big rush here,
and he tries to get on the cars before the
other folks get OF, he is on his way to some
place where they have just tapped fresh
kag of beer, or mebe to see "a sparrow fight
somewhere 1t is just the same here that 1t
is in other towns I've been in; the man
with his sleeves rolled clear up above vaxi-
nation mark is generally the man that IS
really the most suddentery.
'"Sprng clothes are beginning TO appear
in the streets, containing all kinds OF PEG
pie. AS the warm zeffer stirs the spitz

new clothes making their appearance every
where Men are still piecing out their pant
aloons, in some cases with buff over-gaiters,
but tho dog is less in demand as an article
of apparel than he was last year. Summer
canes will be lighter, l think, especially for
the middle of the day, heavier canes being
reserved for the cool and chan, eable air of
larger
year and are Kept at home more, where
they may run their cold and cheerless muz-
zles up the sleeves of visitors and then
sneeze in hoarse accents. The surprised or
Pompey door hair and mouse nest or Jute
yvhskers are still in favor.
MAY T2.-There are four hundred people
here who move in good society. The other
1899, 900 have to squirm along through life
the best they can. l shan't be here long
enough this time to get into society, but If
was TO be here all summer / wouldn' mind
taking hack at it and mingling IN the So
cial whirl. Still, if man mingles in So
