Success in the Metropolis.

The common opinion that New York is the paradise of western humbugs and tricksters is untrue. These people do abound here be- yond Q doubt; but they are short lived. They flourish today and are gone tomorrow.
 They take no root, and have no hold upon any genuine interest, they attain no perma- nent success. It is only genuine merit that succeeds in the great city. Men are here subjected to test that soon takes the conceit out of them. They are taken for just what they are worth, and no more, and he must show himself a man indeed who would take his place among the princes of trade, or among the leaders of thought and opinion He may bring with him fgom his distant home the brightest of regulations, but here he will have to begin at the very bottom of the ladder and mount upward again. It is slow work, so slow that it tries every quality of true manhood to its utmost. The daily life of the dwellers in the great city makes them keen, shrewd judges of human nature, and they are profcients in the art of study ing character.-Joe Howard in New York Graphic

Deceitful Society Girls.

They do say that girls are nowadays talk ing very much to acting in private life. In genious false pretenses of asthetic occupa- tions and tastes are declared to be common among unmarried bellies who are seeking husbands. In extreme cases of positive wicked deceit, girls are known to procure professional artists half finished paintings, which they display as their own work, and which they dabble at occasionally in order to keep up appearances.
 The writer knows of fair pretender to poetic talent who got a newspaper man to write for her poem of about twenty verses. Then she copied the first two or three on a sheet of paper, and left it lying on table in her boudoir. When female chum came in for an unceremonious call, the hostess would seem confused, and finally confess that she was trying her hand little at composition. This device was repeated for half dozen of her friends. Then the succeeding verses were copied one after another, day by day, until the poem was, in the course of week, completed. The observers imagined that they witnessed it's evolution, and they spread the report that their friend was indeed a poetess.-New York Letter.

Various Types of Gossipers.


 The most dangerous type of gossiper is not the woman who has won@a renown in her profession. Her notoriety is our protection We are on our guard in her presence. We speak cautiously and listen indifferently, and she is only able to injure where she is not known.
 Far more to be dreaded is the really good hearted but indiscreet and garrulous woman who loves to impart information. I know some excellent wives and mothers, devout church members, and tireless workers for charity, who would be indignant were they classed among the despised gossips
 Yet these same women have related in my presence the outlived errors of people whom loved and respected. They have brought out the folded and filed away follies, long hid in the dusty pigeon holes of the past, for my eyes to peruse in the glaring light of the present. They did not mean to be malicious they simply lacked the strength of mind to be silent concerning an old tale which could in no wise benefit me to hear. It was the love of imparting information, the impulse to astonish rather than any wish to injure. But it's effect was pernicious and harmful Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

L.v VI. and Friendship.

Men of every nation, with the exception perhaps, of France, go to men for intellectual sym p,Ahy, fer exchange of earnest feelings. tor sJ.rs;u@l intercommunication, in short, for co.,! ,s.o.lsllip. Love, as generally un ierstood. they get from and give to women, necessarily: but friendship they seek and find, ar rule, ill their own sex. That is @ false love which does not include friendship; but it is tho love which ths mass of men feel, and the mass of women inspire
 True love, love of the highest kind, con- tains the elements of friendship, infused with sexuality; friendship is sexless; therefore, serene and stable, and comprehends the com forts of love without its passion. Many men are incapable of friendship; but the lowest and the basest think themselves capable of love. Most of those called the best and wisest would scoff at the very idea of friendship with women; and friendship and companion ship may be considered interchangeable. Is not companionship like the rich deposit in life's retort, after love's passion has ceased to srarkle and effervesce7 - Junius Henri Browne in Cosmopolitan.

Bicyclist Chased by & Mob.

As a general thing the people of the vil- lages were disposed to be friendly; but once in while I used to pass through a place where the spectacle of a lone Ferenghi, mak- ing his way through the bazaar or streets without escort, would excite the rowdy ele- ment to deeds of aggression. This was the case far oftener in Persia than among the Turks. The latter are finer race than the subjects of the shah, in almo every par ticular
 Sometimes mob of Persian villagers would capture me bodily, and endeavor to retain me until they could send for their khan, to whose pleasure and qualification they were servilely desirous of catering. Sometimes that in- dividual would be miles away, and might not return for hours. If the road was fairly smooth, my plan under these annoying conditions would be to pre- tend aequiescence in their proposition of waiting. would then propose a little exhi- bition of my abilities for their own gratifca- tion while waiting the arrival of the khan. In their eagerness to see the unsuspecting ryots would readily fall into the trap, receiv- ing my happy proposal with shouts of ap- proval and much clapping of hands. The next minute would see me flying down the road, with 8 swarm of bare legged Persians in full chase after me, yelling for me to come back.
 Sometimes irrigating ditches or other ob- structions would interfere with my riding sufficiently fast to escape. The racing ryots would then recapturc nic, and amid much boisterous 1nerriment keep strict guard over me until their object of securing a tomasha for their chief would be accomplished, when they would reluctantly allow me to depart Thomas Stevens.

His Struggle With tho Law and Complt-
 cated Family Affairs.
 The pious and well-behaved town of Bethany has long suffered infiction at the hands of bold, bad outlaw named D. $. Hitchcock, who recently defed the select men when requested to furnish some sta tistics in regard to the number of dogs he owned. As a result bold MT Hitchcock languished in jail for some time. Recent ly John Macheleidt butcher, obtai. cd judgment for S4S4 on |. note given by the Bethany outlaw, and attached a piece of woodland, at the same time procuring an order of the court forbidding MT Hitch cock from cutting any timber on the lot. The bold, bad man from Bethany having but little respect for the law or it's satel- lites, immediately proceeded to do what was forbidden, and consequently was be- fore Judge Studley of the court of common pleas, charged with contempt of court. Decision was reserved.
 Some time ago Hitchcock's wife eloped with a man named Cahllls and friend of Hitchcock took Cahill's deserted family under his protecting wing. Hitchcock, his friend and the deserted wife have since lived in communistic way, and the pass ing years have added three little children to the fold, whose percentage is clear only in so far as that the deserted wife is the mother of the three. Their home is known as the Outlaws Lair," and is much feared by the good people of Bethany.

An1ATUER BASE BALL.
Poor Prospects of a Connecticut Leag'
 for 1888.

Poor Prospects of Connecticut League
 Those interested in the formation of a state base ball league for the coming sea son, held meeting yesterday afternoonsa at the Atlantic hotel, Bridgeport. There were present J. Howard Taylor, C.. R.. Hurd and F. A. Shear, Danbury; Isaac Hamilton, Norwalk; J. H. Christie and Edward Lockwood, Stamford; J. w. Lynch, Ansonia; D. Malloy, J. Fitzpatrick and T. L.

PENNY AND GUINEA.

some PeculiaFities of . Ltfe m fshsia"o.
 "The Classes and the Masses"
 Tn London one can buy more for penny and less for guinea than in any other place 0li earth.n
 This was the dictum of one Of the United States ministers accredited to the court or St. James some time ago, my memory "aVering between Mir. Motley and MT. Marcy as the originator of the remark. Whichever gen tleman actually uttered the words IS mat ter of not very vital importance. The truth of the statement is incontrovertible, and IS as palpable in Mir. Phelps time as 1t was m MT Marcy's.
 think the one great reason why there IS such difference between the purchasing power of the penny and the guinea-the for mer coin being relatively so much more valu- able than the latter-is that England is, has always been, and persists in being an arlsto- cratic country. In spite of the great advance of the democratic idea in late years, and the undoubted fact that in some respects England enjoys as great an amount of freedom as aly republic of our day, it is, nevertheless, the case that practically only two classes Of peo- pie are recognized in England, namely, the rich and the poor, the aristocratic and the olebeian. The rich are very rich; the poor are very poor. A guinea is nothing to the former; penny great deal to the latter. Hence, as little possible is given to the rich for their guinea; as much as possible to the poor for their penny.
 In making this positive statement l am aware that am laying myself open to a counter argument of great strength, which would truthfully indicate the existence of a most important element of English life, to. wit: the middle section of the community, an enormous body which ranges between the aristocracy and the plebeians in endless gra- datIols, touching the upper ranks on the one side, and the lower on the other. The ques- tion would take some time to thresh out, but being so, would indubitably prove that, as I have said, the popul tion of England is sepa- rated into two divisions of the great human family, who are widely known and spoken of as ''the classes and the masses"
 Travellers from America are always credited in London and elsewhere in England, with the possession of enormous wealth. The tales of our Vanderbilts, Astors, Mackays and others of that ilk, have con- verted all our people into millionaires, ill the estimation of those who cater to their needs in England. Hence Americans are guinea cocks and hens. No penny advantages for them. All remonstrance is unavailing The man who can pay and wont pay should be made to pay. And he is. He belongs to the "classes," and must conduct himself ''as sich." He is practically an aristocrat. Noblesse oblige.-Olive Logan in Kansas City Journal.

 The game last night between Waterbury and Hartford was very fine exhibition of polo playing, but ths~visiting team won:: Until last night everyone thought Myers was as good a referee as there was in the league, but last night he lost his head, and gave az rank an exhibition of refereeing as any one ever saw. For Hartford Co{ter and Seeley gave the best exhibition of scientific polo that has ever been seen in the local rink. Riley at the cage also played fine game. For Waterbury Con- way and Shea played we'll, but Conway fell into his old errors of thinking that Rabbit did not need anyone to back him up in front of the goal Menard and Williams were away off in their drives for goal The rushes were about even. Hartford ap- peared in their new suits here for the first time. They are of bright red. The score:
