The Gilaed nowaies of Gotham.

There is choice gang of these gilded toughs that makes its headquarters in certain prescribed resorts, and distin- guishes itself by many acts of rowdyism that the police have hitherto winked at. Scarcely day passes without the report of some explosion on their part gaining currency about town. and every now and then grave family lawyer is sent skur- rying among the newspaper offices to use his influence to keep specially fragrant episodes out of print. He generally suc- ceeds, too. If he did not, the public chronicles of the year would present some curious reading.
 They would tell of assaults that nearly ended in murder. of forgeries and thefts committed to secure the means to prolong dissipations, of the marriages of sappy heirs to well known millions with ballet women and servant girls, of shocking brawls in evil surroundings-the whole category of ofenses, in brief, in which reckless and unprincipled youth can in dulge. and wealth and influence be lav- ished to ward off exposure and punish ment. It would be interesting to know the cost to which our Mohocks put their protecting families, by the way. From $10,000 to $50,000 is known to be the price of divorce for millionaire's son from ballet girl. But it is only when the law fixes the expense that the public gets wind of it, and even in these cases conducted with the greatest secrecy and settled without delay, information is very difficult to procure.-Alfred Tumble il Pittsburg Bulletin.

The Actors Ideal Life.

People who prate about the glorious life of art which an actor leads, devoting himself to ideals and to teaching the pub lie how to be good and great, should take Q look at the Rialto. A more fippant set of seedy young men, most of them intent upon nothing more ideal than beer, it will be hard to find; the old men are not fippant, poverty having sobered them, but they are no less seedy. If the object of life is to wear fashy clothes, to drink beer, and live in cheap hotels, the average actor gets along pretty well-for time. If he cares nothing for home, wife or children, or the future. he may be happy. do not sympathize by any means with tke attempts of many well meaning peo. pie to put the actor outside the ban of society; but 1 must confess that in pro portion to the number of actors there are remarkably few of them who attain what the ordinary man would call prosperity. And very brief visit to the Rialto any of these fine days would afford ample Illustration. Yori, Graphic.

The Old Style Tobacco Barn.

The methods of curing tobacco have undergone great change in Virginia since the introduction of fues, but on this old plantation they are as primitive as when the colonists first learned the use of tobacco from the Indian. The barns of the farm are unlike any other used for farming purposes in the world. They have no agricultural pretenses, being generally perfect square, with height several times the width or length, and surrounded by steep matched roof. There are no windows and but one door, just large enough to admit of an entrance. The caves of the house serve the purpose of chimneys, and otherwise there is no ventilation. Without exception these barns are built of unhewn logs, the creyices being plastered over with the mor tar made from clay, making the structure as nearly air tight as it could well be.
 The interior of this peculiar building is just as unpretentious as it's exterior. There is no floor other than mother earth affords, and in the center is deep trench in which a fire is built. Around and above this primitive grate are stretched numerous beams, from which the plants are suspended Then the fire is started and the work of curing is begun. In the OpLuiOH OI the Oiu time planIer the ure must not be allowed to blaze. It is smoke that is wanted, and so the coals are kept in continual smclder. Oak and hickory are much used for curing purposes, but many of the old planters preferred sassa- fras and sweetgum, under the impression that it improves the flavor of the weed. Those who have adopted the modern i'm provements, however, scout the idea as ridiculous, but many of the older planters still believe in a tradition that was | handed down from the Indians.-R. S. Clutter in Detroit Free Press.

The Chicago fire of October, 1871, gave Gen. Sheridan his next opportunity to win the gratitude of those with whom he was located, and when he married Miss Fucker, daughter of an old army officer and citizen of that city, Chicago rejoiced greatly, taking that as his sign of per manent location there. And there he did in fact remain till made lieutenant general His home during the time he was stationed in Chicago was at No FOOT Michigan avenue. The house is two story and mansard brick on fifty feet of ground. It has piazza in front and or part of the south side. A bay window on the south side lights up two stories The house is much larger than glimpse from the street shows, much of the room being at the rear of the building. Ther1 is lawn on both sides and the general aspect of the house is pleasant, comforta- ble and homelike.
 Sheridan's home, when the war closed, if a soldier may call his mothers house his home, was a pleasant little cottage in i Somerset, O.
 And here we may note the extraordi- nary coincidence mentioned by Gen. Grant in his memoirs that so many American | generals were reared in a small area of south central Ohio. Wil&.m Tecunaseh

A partr of Deaf n,utes.

came upon picnic party of deaf mutes In the woods along the Harlem river the other day. They were all young people, and some of the girls were very pretty. They were camped on the green sward in true picnic fashion, and had an abundant supply of solids in big baskets. To their invitation to join them, which was ex- tended, l have no doubt, because they thought me an artist, for had sketch book in my hand, complied so far as to drink a bottle of beer that they offered me. The uncanniness of the company became too oppressive. however. Amid the vocal beauty of nature, where everything had voice, from the birds to the rippIing water and the rustling leaves, the silence of my entertainers wherever might, there were faces that had expression, but lips that uttered no sound. The swift movements of their hands in the sign language only made matters worse. Perhaps if I could have used my hands as deftly might have felt more at home, but 1 doubt it. The silence had something awful about it and finished my beer, gave proper thanks for it and went away. l fairly yelled with relief when the thickets hid me from sight and then blushed at the thought that they might have heard me. if they had had ears.

Tale of n Handsome Woman.

They tell a pretty tale. if only it had pretty sequel, of handsome Chicago wo- man whose husband had been for some years absent on diplomatic business abroad. One fine afternoon she received letter setting day some months dis tant for his return. Now the lady, though handsome. was stout. and she could not endure the thought that the man who left her young and slim should find her obese and aged. So then, putting all other business out of hand, she de voted herself with assiduity to one of the various Turkish bath systems for putting aside unwished for pounds. The lady was persevering and the doctor skilful; the arrival of the steamer found her weighing to an ounce what she had weighed when her youthful husband sailed away She got back her giriish figure. but she could not present her handsome face. The fine lines which scanned it in every direction were a heavy price to p; in exchange for the matronly proportions which she feared her husband would not look with favor upon. The husband. that chance had not occurred to her. had gained avoirdupois also, and if she had let herself alone they would have made well matched portly pair.-Chicago Herald.

The Phraso "so to Speak,"

The most disagreeable phrase in fre- quent use by Americans, so to speak, is ''so to speak" It is useless, and it is i'll conditioned. It is used to fill up awkward cracks, as Canadian uses his senseless ehl eh! ehl and an Englishman his ''don cher know" By the way, no nation on earth uses so few provincialisms as the American, so to speak, and the worst one used by people with an approach to cul- ture is, so to speak. It is borrowed, how ever. so to speak, from the English. The London Telegraph says: Alfred Nobel tanned nitro glycerine; so to speak. " Franklin tanned lightning also, so to speak and Goldsmith-was itf-had hand in Tanning the Shrew," so to speak. On the whole no one needs that you tell him that you speak so; for he has sense to understand it for himself, so to speak Globe Democrat.

 phenomena local to the sea coasts; If we could force the barrier of the inland ice, whose outer edges are glacier like in movement and effects, we should reach the real Greenland, by no means tropical land, of course, but one capable of SUD- porting the small but rich and quick maturing fora of the Arctic circle, and. as necessary consequence, the living fauna of such region.
 The more romantic question Is the old one, What became of the lcelandic settle ments on the east coastf Access to that coast by sea is almost always hindered by foes and masses of icebergs; from the land side the inland ice blocks the way. Esquimaux have not been slow to affirm that descendants of the old Morse settlers finger on that inaccessible spot, and love to add that ghosts of early Scandinavians haunt the glittering fields of hummock, crevasse and underground river which present such an impenetrable front to hunters and explorers. The general opinion is that the Norseman of the east as well as the west coast dwindled and merged with the Esquimaux from choice or from necessity. Attempts have been made to assign this or that trait of the Esquimaux of Greenland to an infusion of Morse blood. It is certain that during the last few centuries Danes have inter married readily with the Esquimaux, and that the children are remarkably more handsome than their parents. York : Times.

ya,ue of the Chineso Almanac.

Recently the Chinese residents at Lhassa. in Tibet. implored the emperor to ause arrangements to be made which would enable them to receive the copies If their almanac at the earliest possible late in each year.

When Washington Laughed.

It has been observed that Washington seldomed smiled and never laughed. This, however, is not correct. One instance is mentioned by Q gentleman. we'll known for his veracity, with degree of sang froid- At the time the troops were en- camped at Cambridge, information was received at headquarters that the English were about leaving Boston to give them battle. All was hustle and confusion. The soldiers were strolling over the town, and the officers were but ill prepared for the approaching renconter. Some of the generals were calling for their horses. and others for their arms; and among tho rest was Gen. Greene. nt the bottom of tho stairs. bawling to the barber for his wig.

Eopaen Make Good Swimmers,

The records of the humane societies on both sides of the Atlantic show that of late years fair proportion of their medals fall to tho lot of girls. There were sev- eral notable instances of rescue from drowning last summer by girls under twenty. Many women are accomplished swimmers. This is but natural. As their bones arc generally lighter than those of men, and their flesh more buoy ant, they have less difficulty to overcome in acquiring the art. Some of them could float at their first attempt, if they could acquire the requisite faith in the power of the water to hold them up. Swimming is very much an art of faith, for it is gener- ally the case that when person believes sufficiently in the buoyancy of the water to trust to it his precious body, lol he is a swimmer. There were young girls at Newport. last summer, who could float on the surface of the ocean with no more difficulty than they experienced in lying upon sofa. They could have foated for hours. if necessary. Some of the most famous swimming feats have been accom- plished by very young women. - The ArrOuaut.

bets with brawny savages" are rather mythical. It was in Oregon that he did really first class work, and won some honor. He was only second lieutenant and not attached to any regiment, but in command of a short company of dragons for escort duty. While in camp on tho lower Columbia messenger arrived with dispatch that the block house ct the Cascades of the Columbia had been at- tackled by Indians. Sheridan at once put the detachment of dragons aboard the steamer Belle and started up the river. The next morning, perhaps by or 8 o'clock, the Belle had reached the Lower Cascades, near Bradford's Island. From this point Lieut.. Sheridan could sec the the Indians in force on Bradford's Island. Everything pointing to sharp battle, and the condition of affairs in the block house above being unknown, he arranged with tho steward to give his men meal and told them to eat heartily, as some of them might never get another.
 This accomplished. he landed his forces below or west of the island, on the north bank of the river, and deployed in the open. The dragoon who gives the ac- count says that Sheridan told his men to take advantage of cover, and to fire | only when they could see the Indians, and 1 thus advanced slowly in skirmishing or der up the stream to Dradford's Island. | McGraw, Q little Irishman who used to wait on him, soon sang out that he saw an Indian. and hardly had got tho words | out of his mouth before volley came, and McGraw fell dead Sheridan at once had him taken to tho rear. and then began to retreat to the banks. firing as he went. Having reached the shore, he halted, and fired with howitzer, which must have been brought up in the Belle. The only white man killed in this skirmish was McGraw. In the evening Sheridan drew his troops aboard tho Belle. posting senti- nels and keeping a sharp lookout. Next day the infantry arrived, and the Indians were defeated and scattered. Lieut.. Gen. Scott complimcnted Lieut.. Sheridan foI his action. x*x
