diA suprisins things. He not only sat upen 1t ID various ways, but stood upon 1t and seaccd himself upon its back, boaancing h upon the rope so that it seemed e steady e q planted on a floor, when in fact breath might sufilccd to toppie it over. Finally he put h ise.o.n him and, balancing 1t, climbed over iA 'ars and sat on It. The performance ended
 " his resumption of a modification 9f the ;,:;:ine costume and riding tho length of tho .opes on II velocipede. The best things he did w,.rc tho fcnts with the chair, but all his exhibitions of skill and daring wers snthusi-- -- as;icilly applauded.
 FOLDS of heavy black tarpaulin drsped the high railing of old St. Paul's Church ss 3roa,lwsy and yesey street one day last week aad completely hid the old church yard from v.cw. At o'clock, when the homewArd tlirong of pedestrians along Broadway was tl,icsest, policemen made pathway through tho crowd and bare-headed pail bearers car ricd 6 coffin with flowers strewn on its lid, into the churchyard. A little company of mourners alighted from carriages and fol- lowed the pail bearers.
 In the coffin lay the remains of John k Ling, the veteran sporting man, who was John Morisscy's second in the memorable fight with Bill Poole on the Amos street docks. Ling died on Monday at his homo. s7 Morton street, in his 6S year. He was . Tammany Democrat and an intimate of the ac Matthew T. Brennan. He was great x 0 t and trotting horse owner, and WAS the
 nan who delivered Yankee Sullivan's chal-
 n.e to Tom liver, in the famous Sullivan flyer contest.
 The coffin was lowered into a vault that be- lonccd to tho Ling family for generations.
 when Ling's grandfather was one of the ves- :rynca Q: the church. The churchyard was hidden during tho intermsnt yesterday, be- cause a burial there is so rare m occurrenoe that tho street would have been blocksded hv the crowds that would have gathered to sc" it.
 MAYOR HEWITT stood aghast at Ninth street .,.,: Third avenue Friday morning at the 1 siyllt of q buxom Italian woman and her three children encamped there. The mother presided over n big fruit stand that covered half t.la sidewalk and reached half way out to | the railroad tracks. In the vicinity and else where in his travels about the city the Mayor saw many similar encroachments, and on reaching his off1e ha wrote to the Department | of Public Works to request the Bureau of l Eucumbrances to look out for such viola tons ot the law, but suggesting the serving | of notices in advance of a raid. In his letter | the Mayor said:
 II sid ,walks, particularly the former, by the erection of stands for the sale of fruit and other articles of consumption. The incursion is sudden one, and is apparently made by Italians, who are under the impression, I suppose, that this is a free country, and that the streets may be occupied by any one who can appropriate them to private use. If this practice is allowed to continue, according to its growth during the last ten days. New York | will soon become impossible. The only efSect | of this rsc of the streets is to attract moro
 foreigners from Italy to the United States, bo- cause this branch of business seems to be
 particularly in the hands of Italians. This ii a kind of immigration which ought not to be encouraged, and no privileges in violation oi law should be accorded to these venders, be-
 cause they do not contribute in any way t<
 tho business, comfort or growth of the com muaity, except in an unfavorable direction
 direction. I, Jam sorry to deprive any pool family of a mes ns of livelihood, but, in fact it is no real charity to these people, while 1, does not intetfere so seriously with the gen.
 business of the city as to become Q common
 nuisance"
 NEW YORK will have chance to hsal Speaker Carlisle at the Tammany talk on the
 Fourth of July. MT. Carlisle's appearance f.
 very preposssessing. He has pale, thin. but remarkably well-cut face, with 6 thin-hpped eloquent mouth, and luminous eyes. As (
 speaker, he is graceful, fluent, coherent. and
 positive. He has in short every recommenda'
 lion an orator should have, except the main lone-effectiveness. He makes a beautiful speech and when he sits down his audience are no more effectsd than if they had heard e
 boy rattling a stick along picket fence. Its very curious, but it has its parallel. Thers
 are plenty of men in Congress inst that way Then there are others, like MT. Breckenridge
 MT. Randall, and others. whose speeches don't
 read half SO we'll as MT. Cariisle's, who have
 the electric spark wh' .h marks an orator from
 a talker. Even MT. Holman, whose voice f.
 an exaggerated screech, who claws tho air and sins against every rule of oratory, is an effective speaker, although not pleasant one
 Of Mir. Carlisle, however, no fault can be
 found except-his speeches don't do any good.
 A CERTAIN dude has for some months beer
 beating the barbers of the town. He would
 turn up in barber shop on Sunday morning get his chin shaved, whiskers trimmed, and
 and locks dressed in the highest style of the curling ait, worth at least $l. He would
 then. after being presented with his vel
 brushed beaver, pull out his snake-skin wal.
 let take out a $50 bill. and offer it to the bar. Der, with the remark that he had nothTng
 smaller. The barber would regret his insbili' ty to give change and tell him to pay nex,
 next time, upon which he would depart and
 never turn up there again. He worked this
 racket so often that his fame began to b< spread among the knights of the lather jug
 At last, last Sunday forenoon, he turned up
 at Monsieur Poujoul's, and the razor, shears, and curling tongs were piled to his advan-
 tage. When he produced his useful $50 bill he was dismayed at seeing big roll of bills
 in the hand of M. Poujoul, who said his price was S5, gave him his change and escorted
 him to the door, where his continuance fell
 to zero. This dude, who is chump, had bet. ter not try to beat any barber hereafter.
