How He Prevents Suffering.
From the New York Pre-,

Surrounded by tattered group of newsboys
in Battery park yesterday was q boy about l3
years of age, with a wizened face and expression
of cunning far beyond his years. His history
and personality are really remarkable. 1t il
probable that there is not newsboy in any
large American city who does not know Whist
ling Jack" He has travelled from San Fran
cisco TO New York, beating" his way on rail
road trains, walking, riding in farmers wagons
seeking any means of transportation at all, so
long as lie could be on the go. He is best
known perhaps, In st. Louis. Chicago, Phila-
delphia and Boston. This is his second visit to
New York.
''Whistling Jack" is so called because between
each word he utterS he emits a sh yrt whistle
Unless he did this. he could not speak at all
From early babyhood he suffered 80 distress
ingly that he could scarcely make himself
understood One day when Ae was about years
old, selling newspapers in Caicago, man who
had an impedment in his own speech told him to
try whistle between his words Jack did so
and found he could articulate so as TO be under
stood, and he kept up the strange method Of
assistance. 1t is very amusing to hear him
talk. Long practice has made him perfect and
he can rattle along almost as rapidly as person
whose speech is natural. Au effort to talk with
out whistlng results In horrible grimaces aDd WIS.,
ible spasms of the larynx. Jack contemplates
trip To Europe before the leaves begin TO fall
II he goes he will go as a stowaway.

We Must All Dissemble,
From the London Queen.


All, how much we hide! The most frank and
candid of us all must needs keep whole world
concealed i'll his heart of hearts, Can we tell
that hesitating prosy bore what nuisance he
isY Can we trounce that vain, affected old
woman for her folly in painting her face and
dyeing her hair and exposing her shriveed old
tlesh which has forgotten to be young these
thirty years and more? We hide our contempt
for that piece of meanness; our doubt of that
statement; our belief in the disunion of those
not lOng-wedded folk; our fear of a coming
financial crash where the rumor would fulfil
itself, and to set the report about would be to
insure its fruition in fact We hide our sorrow
for that pretty little woman's perpetual nag
gng at her foolish husband-that loving
mothers over-anXiety for her children's wei
fare, and her consequent coddlng physically
and over training mOrally-both of which must
lead to disasters We are sorry, but what can
we do? Has it been laid on us to go through
the world as Quixotes redressing all evilsY
We have to- hide, not detail-to be silent,
not loquacious. Our only confidant is ourself
and this is one who never betrays SO things
go; and we all carry about with us the talisman
which prevents the destruction of peace and
happiness, by enabling us to hide our thoughts;
and they who should discard this talisman of
silence and concealment would be as fiery
bombshells flung into a powder magazine.
whereby the whole fabric of society would be
blown TO atoms.

Never Got That Low.

Now that the hand-organ and the monkey
have reappeared again upon our streets, the
sight recalls to the historian of the Boston Rec
ord q story heard some time ago, the telling Of
which has been attributed to the Hon. j. G.
Blaine.
In a certain New England factory-town some
years ago, where the Irish element largely pre-
dominated over a sprinkling of other divers Tor
eigp nationalities, an Italian priest had been
placed over large Irish congregation. The
Irish did not like it. In the first place. he did
not possess the virile energy they admire even
in a preacher; and, in the second place, his
broken English distressed the ear of a people
fond, beyond most others, of flowing sentences
and rhetorical graces. Still they bore their
cover that their ways we're not whit more
grateful to the priest than bis were TO them
But the breach was not opened until one Sun
day the priest indulged IN sermon in which he
dealt severely with certain Of their more glar-
ing fauits--their nosinees, quarreIsomeness,
drinking and general roughness.
After he had made out case against them
as strong as his broken EnSlish would allow, he
paused 20 zoe the effect. Suilen silence only was
visible and continued till the services we're
ended. When this was over, however, and he
had returned from the vestry, having changed
his sacerdotal robes, he found two old men had
advanced toward the chancel rail and stood
ready as spokesmen for the congregation. One
OF them respectfully addressed him in this
wise:
There's a CRATE dale OF truth in what you
say, yer reverence; I'm not the man to gainsay
that. Some of us are quarrelsome and noisy,
and fighting and dhrink. There's a dale Of
truth in II all, as this congregation knows. But,
yer reverence, there's one thing ye never saw
an lrfshman do-an' ye never will see an Irish
man dol Yen never see an Irishman tryin TO
earn his livin' by ladin' round a monkey wild
bit o. sthringl No no man will ever see that"
Having delivered this broadside, whose deadly
effect he felt must ranlle IN tho blood of the
Italian, he decorously made his bow and Joined
the departing congregation.
