The new number of Ticknor's ad- mirable Paper Series of Original Copyright Novels is "The Rise of Si- las Lapham," one of the latest works of the prince of American novelists, w. D. Howells. Many critics rank this as his greatest and most impress i've work, and the crowniDg triumph of the school of realiem in American literature. No serial since George Eliot's "Daniel Deronda" called forth so much discussion as did "Silas Lap- ham," during its serial publication in The Century Mdgaztne, and 1t was easily the most talked-of novel of the last ten years. It is the fortieth vol tune of Ticknor's Paper Series, which has been one of the greatest successes in the American publishing trade.

A Mother and Son Meet.
Pittsburg Chronicle.

A man attired in the picturesque blue uniform and jaunty cap of the sailors of the United States navy was among the passengers who strolled along the platform at the Union sta- tion this morning.
 There was an uneasfness in his manner as be inquired particularly about the train for Washington that caused him to attract especial atten- tion. He was so particular about not missing the train that it was at first supposed that he was on some secret mission to the capital.
 His anxiety, however, was soon ex- plained. He was to meet his mother in Washington tonight. Each had thought that the other had been dead for over quarter of a century.
 When he was drawn into converse tion, he spoke freely about a life of adventure. He was a fine looking man, apparently not over forty five years of age, and spoke with an intel ligence showing that he had been ob- servant of all that he had seen in years of travel to almost every navi- gable portion of the world.
 He gave his name as Benjamin Cooper, and said: "Yes, I certainly have led varied life. When was but fifteen years ot age l was living with mother on a little farm in Michigan. Father was dead and had left us the farm. When the war fever was intense I became enthusias- tic, and in 1862 left home to become a sailor and have been one ever since. I went to sea on the Cumberland the vessel that afterward was sunk by the 'Merrimac.' 1 was transferred to the Mississippi river fleet and went to Vicksburg and New Orleans. I was on Admiral Farragut's flagship on the memorable occasion when he was dashed to the masthead and gave his orders. shall never forget that ex- citing time and how Farragut's bravery made his men more enthusi- astic than they had ever been before.
 "After the war I started for my home in Michigan. While in Chicago 1 learned that my mother was dead, and under the impulse of the moment re- enlisted in the navy, where have been ever since, and have been around the world three times. A short time ago, when was in San Francisco, my time expired. While there, undecided what to do or where to go, I heard that mother was still alive and we'll, and that she was living in Washing ton. learned, too, that she thought 1 had been dead for years. I have saved good portion of my earn- ings and nearly all of my prize money that I had received during the war, and now have snug little estate that will keep mother and myself comfort able for the balance of our lives. Il left San Francisco as soon as I heard that she was living. Tonight I ex- pect to see her for the first time since 1862."
 The sailor told the romance of his life with touch of pathos. As he stepped aboard the Pennsylvania rail- road express for Washington his face frightened at tho thought of soon meeting mother mourned for as dead for twenty six years.

"If there's any swearing to be done at that horse I'll do it," said a we'll known Methodist preacher, as he stepped into Doc Marshall's stable on Brown street. Dan, the hostIer, took the minister in at a glance. He had been cursing the parsons horse in every style he knew how and had halted for breath.
 "Bejiminy," replied Dan, "and there ain't any two ministers in the Methodist church that can do justice in cussin' that hoss; an suppose you try your jaw, for Pm tired already" 1" Philadelphia Record.

THE "vAoRoM MAN."
BY ALEX. SWEET.

That class of citizens to whom Shakespeare refers as "vagrom men" do not ape the Vanderbilts, the As- tors and other members of the New York elite in focking to Europe every summer as soon as it is warm enough to go around comfortably barefooted. They stay right here in New York, excepting perhaps an occasional ex- cursion to Coney Island, or Black wells Island, or some other place of popular resort up the Hudson.
 However, while the "vagrom men" are in town they spend most of their leisure hours in the parks. In the parks they can be studied to advan- tage. Among other things they mo- nopolize the benches. While they occupy permanent positions on the bench they do not draw any salaries. They draw good deal of attention, and possibly flies, but no salaries or other perquisites. If it were not for their sitting positions they might come under the head of standing nui- sances.
 It has been remarked that very frequently mans clothing is against him. This is certainly the case in re- gard to his underwear. It is true in double sense of the word with dreamers in the parks. Their clothes are very much against them. They spend great deal of time in sleep, but sleep which, according to the poet, knits up the raveled sleeve of care, allows the pants and vest to shift for themselves, and consequently with most of the "vagrom men" fringe &C., cumulates around the bottom of their trousers legs. In regard to invest ment, having waistcost with the pawnbroker is about as near as most of them come to it, although fanati- cal opposition to water almost justi- fies some of them being chased under the head of real estate.
 They are equally careless in regard to head gear, for with most of them new hat would be very much in the nature of long-felt want. They dress one year pretty much the same as another. There is very little change to be found in their clothes, in which they resemble poets and journalists.
 It must not be supposed that "va- grom men" have twenty -four leisure hours day. In the mornings and evenings they make calls at the most fashionable houses, and many a cold, clammy potato, many homemade biscuit is thus rescued from oblivion, as it were. But for this death. dealing food New York would be overrun with tramps and the city's breathing places would soon become congested with flow of mendicants. Others, rather than humiliate themselves by | begging or joining the Socialists, pre- fer to steal outright. They never, if they can help it, go away from the good mans door empty handed, even if they have to lift an overcoat from | the hall rack.
 Then, again, there is type of "va- grom man" who sells his dying wife's wedding ring to feed his imaginary starving children. A tramp who can squeeze 8 sGalding tear out of the cor ner of his eye and simultaneously | make his chin quiver with suppressed | anguish, like forty cents worth ot calf's-foot jelly, can sell five or six wedding rings day and never turn a hair. He copiously fiushes his bron- chial tubes with beer after the sale of each ring.
 The "vsgrom man" is study. He will also do to watch.-Neso Fork Mercury.
