ci1ic Wow.


Ten cars packed with people left this cit,
yesterday morning in the excursion train te
Monrovia, where part of the Rancho
Azusa de Duarte was to be sold at auction
by II. H. Matlock. The day was bright and
clear, aud the trip to that charming city was
as pleasant as it could be under such cir
cumstaIces. Upon arriving at the depot
the party was driven to Pacific View, the
subdivision to be sold, where fine COLA
ton awaited the hungry. Some time was
passed in inspecting the property, which
lies on East and White Oak avenues, after
which the ffty-seven lots were offered for
sale. The bidding was spirited, and before
train time the hammer of the aucti0reer
fell for the last time, and every lot had
passed into other hands than the former
owner. Prices ranged from $3.50 to $3.50
for inside lots, according to location, while
corner lots sold at $3.50. AS the excur-
sionists journeyed homeward last night,
everyone decided that an exceedingly
pleasant day had been profitably spent.

Veterans of Wall street.

But few gain sufficient experience IN
Wall street to command success until
they reach that period Of life in which
they have orc foot in the grave. When
this time comes these old veterans of the
street usually spend long intervals Of re-
nose at their comfortable homes, and IN
times Of panic, which recur sometimes
oftener than once a year, these old tcl-
lows will be seen in Wall street, hob
bling down on their canes 70 their

Then they always buy cool stoke to
the extent Of their bank balances. which
have been permitted to accumulate for
lust such an emergency. The panic
usually RACES until enough Of these cash
purchases Of stock is made to afford big
rake IN. When the panic has spent
its force, these old fellows, who have been
resting judiciously on their oars in OK
notation Of the inevitable event, which
usually returns with the regularity Of the
seasons, quickly realize, deposit their

Wished at the funeral of his brother,
William c. Sage. last December in Troy.
He met Samuel Chaplin here, who mar
ried his sister Fanny. and who lives in
Oneida. Mr. Chaplin is independently
rich. and therefore feels in position to
saw pretty much what lie pleases. As
he is also quite deaf. ans conversation in
which he engages is necessarily carried
on in rather n loud tote Of voice. The
conversation, therefore, which he carried
ON with Mr.. Sage at the time of the
funeral was heard by 4 good many reo-
Ole, and the details Of it have been very
industriously distributed. Mr.. Chaplin
spoke poin; blank:
Brother Russell, you are accounted
very rich man. Why don't you retire
as did and seek comfort in your old
age? What is the use Of shaving along
from day to dayf What will you do
with all your money!
Mr.. Sage said in reply to this that very
few men had achieved marked success
in life such as he had. He was the only
one of his name who had done so, and
his great success was his glory. He was
happier in harness than he would be out
of it, and was not at all ready as yet to
relinquish the pleasure Of accommodating.
AS to what he was going to do with his
money he said that the present genera
ton Of the Sages would be well pro-
vided for, and he proposed that his name
should be monument that would en-
dure for all time. What he meant by
this he did not explain, but obviously it
shadows forth some Interesting scheme
which perhaps now is scarcely formu-
lated in his mind.-New York World

THE LATE Mr.. PULslFER.
Sketch Of One of the Proprietors of The
Boston Herald.

The profession of journalism loses an
able man in Royal NJ. Pulsiier, Of The
Boston Herald, whose death occurred re-
Gently in Boston under peculiar circum-
stances. Mr.. Pulsifer was but AZ years
Of age. During the whole of his active
career he was connected with The Boston
Herald. When he was studying at n
commercial college the proprietor OF the
paper sent to the college for a boy TO
work in his counting room. Young Pull
lsifer was sent down TO The Herald office
and the next day began work.
Some twenty yeais ago several part
ners were taken into the proprietorship
of the paper, and Mr.. Pulsifer was one Of
them. Under a subsequent arrangement
in 1869 the original proprietor sold his
interest to the new partners, and Mr..
Pulsifer became business manager, and
soon after Ithc number Of partners was
reduced to three, and in March last Mr..
Pulsifers two partners retired and left
him sole proprietor.
Meanwhile en- immense deal Of money
had been made out of the paper. IL had

Ladies of the Snb-Treasurx.

Passing the sub-treasury recently no
ticed near the entrance a number of
young women whose appearance was SO
peculiar that it Immediately arrested my
attention. If the reader should ask me
what that popularity was | could hardly
explain it. Perhaps tt might be termed
a nonchalance or free manner that indi-
Gated disregard for observation. They
had cool audacity which, though not
brazen, was bold enough to face any OPP
position. snd though | could see at a
glance that they were not stage players,
yet it was evident that they were in
public life. and could be at home even
before a crowd. In a few moments |
saw them step up to the cashiers win
dow, where each presented a check and
drew the money, and then | learned that
they were the custom house inspectrcsses,
who were collecting their months Pay.
No wonder thcy had such ronchalant,
resolutc faces. These are the women
that coolly order n passenger into a prl-
vate room and strip her sufficiently to
reveal fraud. These arc the women who
find laces packed in bustles and diamonds
concealed in tresses Of hair, and | need
hardly say that they are the terror of
smugglers. In a recent case they found
passenger wearing a petiicOat that
weighed twenty-five pounds, being made
double so as 10 carry Struggled goods.
These inspectrcsses are among the most
useful public servants, and they have
almost broken up the once extensive sys-

Mr. pnleifep ROYAL N. iOLslfLN.
lived in Newton, of which place lie had
been alderman and afterwards mayor.
Recently he found himself outvoted at
stockholders meeting Of the owners Of
The Herald, and was madc president
merely in name, and the position of bust
ness manager given TO another. This
change was painful to Mr.. Pulsifer aad
his many friends. The result came from
his having too many outside interests,
which embarrassed him. He was inter.
ested in the Florida and Georgia Railroad
company, Georgia marble company, the
Nantasket Land company, a narrow gauge
railroad and hotel at Nantasket, the Mex
lean Pqlque company and other schemes.
1t was necessary for The Herald TO have
more means Consequently stock passed
from the owners hands. 1t is supposed
that in his outside speculations lie was
usually unlucky. In his management OF
the paper he was always successful.

As the business Of the mercantile agen-
cics il becoming better understood. the
attitude Of the merchants toward them
has undergone a very great change. 1t
used TO he that the agencies were re-
garded rs pernicious spies IN the COM
mercal world, and the polite interroSa-
tories Of our agents. asking for state
ments Of business standing, were looked
upon as impertinent. Very often the
business man, when so questioned, would
fatty refuse TO answer. OF course this
fact we communicated as in duty bound,
to the creditors, who had made. through
Us. the inquiries, and the effect was not
to quiet any alarm that might have been
felt about the debtors condition, but
often an uncomfortable squeezing of the
merchant resulted WithiE the last ten
years the agencies have been recognized
as powerful and legitimate aids TO the
mercantile trade. and the questions Of
our agents touching the concitioa Of this
or that iyp gre met with answers that
are straightforward and, in the r,ain,
candid and satisfactory. Whenever a
business man is known TO desire o con-
cealment of his affairs, the manifestation
Of that desire creates more suspicion than

depends ON the presence of Statesmen ana

But social Washington is now begin

scarcely be seen elsewhere, except III such
cities as Chicago or New York.

All the statesmen have gone away to take
the stump for their respective candidates.

interest in politics except those connected
