Peddlers OF the Metropolis.

There are in New York about 4, 500 per
sons who have licenses to sell from
wagons and about 5000 who have simple
licenses. On the occasion of any ceremony
or celebration-sucha as the Grant funeral
or the Bartholdi procession-many new
licenses are taken out. Otherwise the
number of licenses issued varies with the
tide Of emigration, being greatest in years
when most emigrants land at this port.
The peddlers generally live in the quarter
affected by their respective races. 1t is
difficult to form an idea of what their
profits are. Some of the fakirs say they
make an average of SO a day the year
round, and others that they make only
one-third as much, From the fact that
while the S. or wagon licenses generally
are renewed, while the 81 ones are in n
majority of cases allowed to lapse, it is
fair to presume that in the latter case, at
all events the profits are not tempting

Is handsome man OF commanding
presence and particularly pleasing man
ners. He is said to possess u large store
Of this worlds goods.
Walter Irving Hardy, one of the par
Elephants in the shooting scrapc, was born
in Sumter, S. c., in April, 1860 He took
the law course at the Military academy at
Warrenton, Va, from which he was
graduated in 1877, after which he re-
turned to Sumter and was admitted to the
bar by Il special act of the Legislature, rs
he was below the required age for admis-
sion. On graduating from the academy
he received the medals for law, essays and
debate, the first time in the history of the
institution that one person had ever taken
the three medals. In the fall of 10 he
had some trouble with Sam Lee, the
former postmaster of Sumter and Repub-
lican candidate for congressional honors;
he afterward went to the west, but re
turned in 1884. Since that time he has
practiced law in Sumter Hardy is
reckoned one of the most brilliant young
men of the town.

He says hat II the whole end of n card
be turned in, it means that the visit is in
tended for all ladies receiving, and, in
deed this is often done. 1t may be inter-
estng to the people to know how to use
cards, and Professor keim gives the rules
thus explicitly as follows;
Inquire whether the person you desire
to see is in, and hand your card to the
servant answering the summons to the
door. You will then be properly pre-
sented If the person is not in, leave your
card with the left upper corner turned, to
indicate n call in person, or turn any of
the other corners il the call be for any of
the purposes referred to.
IF there he visitors in the house leave q
card for each of them, or turn down the
right end to indicate that all are included.
A lady leaves card for the family and
one for each of the daughters in society.
When family returns to the city each
member in society should send card to
such of her friends and acquaintance as
she desires to be informed thereof, giving
place of residence and days Eat home"
A card left at the residence of person,
whether in official or social life, answers
the purpose of a call.
A card with name and address should
always be inclosed, with n letter Of intro
duction, when sent by messenger or mail.
A card from one person to another, adj
dressed to a third party, may be substi-
tuted for note of introduction.
A stranger desiring an acquaintance
with another, may hand him his card,
with appropriate verbal explanations.
A husband and wife may use double
card, as Mr.. and Mrs. -.
In all cases of visits of congratulation
or coincidence, leave your card within
three days after the event.
1t is proper to send cards by messenger
or mail in return for visits in person.
This practice is disrespectful in general
society, but exception is made in the
higher ranks of official life as it would
be a physical impossibility to return all
calls
The wife of an official returning formal
calls should leave her husbands official
card with her own. This will also apply
in private life.
In sending your card to any one resid-
ing at hotel, always write the name of
the person for whom intended on the
upper left hand corner, to prevent mis-
takes.
The p. p. c. cards are frequently used
and it was at Washington that the old
story started about the young dude and
the statesman. The dude left his card
with Il p. p. c. at the foot of it, and the
statesman bothered his brains as to what
the letters meant. When he was told
that it meant merely leave taking, he got
up card of his own and put the letters
5. b. A. n. on the bottom. The dude
boiled his brains for day in trying to de
cipher these hieroglyph,cs, and he finally
sought the statesman and asked him.
The old man replied that nothing was
simpler He had no time to make the
call in person, and the card had been sent
by messenger. "Any fool" he con-
tinued, could see what S. b. A. n. stood
Tor, and the letters mean Sent by mig
yern" FRANK G. CARPENTER

vens, fired from hastily constructed
battery on Morris Island at the Star
of the West when that vessel
came to the relief of the Fort Sumter
garrison. George L, Haynsworth fired
the first shot, and thus had the distinc-
tion of opening the war of secession His
disposition was so modest and retiring
that when The Century Magazine at
tempted to procure his photograph some
years since he positively refused to allow
its publication. He next volunteered in
the Manning Guards, of which his brother
was commander, and then served success
sively at Fort Sumter and Battery
Wagner, where he displayed the most
reckless daring He was engaged in
the battle of Bentonville, n. c.,
and in his native county, Sumter,
had the reputation OF having fired there
the last shot in the war For gallantry
at Fort Sumter he was commissioned q
lieutenant in 1862. During his whole
term of military service he never received
a scratch or wound. After the war Mr..
Iiaynsworth taught school for several
years, studied law and was admitted to
the bar. Two years ago he was appointed
trial justice of the town of Sumter, the
duties of which Office he discharged with
faithfulness, intelligence and to the entire
satisfaction Of the community He was
general favorite of the people of Sumter,
ard his death is universally deplored. He
leaves two motherless little boys.
Daniel Ezra Keels, one Of the wounded
men, was born in Sumter county, 5. c.,
in September, 1886 He was poor boy
and supported himself by farming at the
same time getting the rudiments of an
English education at a cross roads country
school. He entered the war at the
first call to arms although he always
claimed to be Union man, and was made
first lieutenant in one of the companies of
kershaW's regiment. He served at Nor
riS Island, Charleston harbor, and was an
eye witness of the raising of the first Con-
federatc flag on Fort Sumter. He was
discharged from military duty after two
years service on account of i'll health.
After the war he resumed planting and
engaged in making turpentine. He never
mixed in politics until the Hampton cam
paign of 1876 In 1882 he was elected TO
the legislature, where he served two
terms. In 1886 he was an unsuccessful
candidate for state senator from Sumter
county. Mr. keels is prosperous farmer,
owning two plantations near Lynchburg,
and is well thought of in his community.

ally reached his little place from the out
side world that he was q genius. The
young man wears the name of Fred II.
Carruth. His career has been eventful.
He was born in Mount Pleasant township,
near Lake City, MINI. He tells me that
he spent several years lodging institu-
tons of learning, and was quite success
full, though he did not wholly avoid the
vigilance of the ordinary wayside district
school graduation. lie tried teaching
school, and not finding the profession
agreeable to his tastes, left it to learn the
art of printing. Sticking long primer
at 81 IA week was a good deal
pleasanter," is the way he puts
it. He became wandering printer,
and spent several years tramping around
the territories before going to Estelline.
He rang his first Bell-and mind you
there was nothing chestnutty about it,
either-on the natives of that crossroad
on Aug. A. 1884. Then he married, and
the next year found him with one baby
and few hundred delinquent subscribers
The Bell, despite its unfavorable location
and its unpropitious surroundings, was
full of spice and mirth. In a few
months time it was quoted far and wide,
and although it has now been dead nearly
two years, one can hardly pick up paper
that does not have a line or squib credited
to the long since defunct After The Bell
died Carruth went to Sioux Falls, OAK,
and in company with S. Il. Clover started
| The Dakota Bell. 1t was u handsome little
paper, and was quoted quite as widely as
was its predecessor; but, despite all, it
went into something of decline last sum
nounced extinct The prestige of two dead
papers did not in the least hamper Mr..
Carruth. His writings had been so long
quoted that he quickly discovered that two
or three good positions on big papers were
open to him. lie finally accepted place
on The Chicago Tribune, and is the author
of the inimitable Overland Sketches"
now appearing in that paper. Carruth is
eminently a child of the west His humor
is favored with the invigorating freshness

taken, will slide into history as one of the

NeWeURG'S VICTORY TOWER.
A Structure Dedicated to the Memory of
Revolutionary Heroes.

n structure Dedicated to the Memory OF
Revolutionary Heroes.
Thirty-flve thousand dollars, of which
the state of New York contributed $l0,-
900, has been expended upon the con-
struction of the Tower of Victory, which
has just been turned over to the trustees
of Washington's Headquarters at New
burg, n. Y. The monument stands upon
the site of the immortal Georges head
quarters in that city, near the historic
stone building in front Of which the Con-
tinental army was disbanded in 1888. 1t
is rectangular structure, built of native
stone, 81 by 32 feet on the ground and 53
feet high. Its position commands "A fine
view of the Hudson river, and the accom-
panying cut gives an excellent idea of its
appearance.
-Four large archways open into the
atrium on each side, and in the center
thereof, upon polished red granite petles-
tai, stands lifelike bronze statue Of
Washington, cast after a design by Will
liam Rudolph O'Donovan, of New York
The head is modelled from Houdon's life
cast. Houdon was the famous French
man engaged by Benjamin Franklin to
make the statue of Washington that stands
in the Virginia state capitol at Rich
and first president in the act of sheathing
his sword, is six feet two inches high,
weighs about half ton, and cost SIC, 900.
Those who delight in comparisons will
easily calculate the cost of this particular
Washington to be about $40 pound.
TWO circular staircaseS lead from the
ground floor Of the tower to the belvedere,
an open outlook wherein 300 persons may
be comfortably accommodated The roof
is supported by thirteen columns, each of
which, according to the original design,
was to be adorned with shield represent
ing one of the thirteen original states of
the Union. But funds ran short and the
columns are undecorated.
Recesses are provided in the interior
for any medallions or bas reliefs that
may be provided in the future and out
side there are four inches for the re-
ception of bronze statues of Washing
tons four favorite generals, or for figures
of an allegorical nature. In the east wall
a bronze tablet with an inscription COM
memorating the bravery Of the soldiers of
the revolution is set.
| The movement for the erection of this,
however, was begun some years ago, and
its site was selected on Thursday, Oct. 49,,
1888, on the occasion Of the holding of the
centennial celebration at Newburg Of the
disbanding of the Continental army The
design OF the monument is not to the lik-
ing of the Washington's Headquarters

trustees, but as they could not agree upon
a design, the general government was
obliged to take the matter in hand, and
the result is not at all dspleasing to the
general public. The original commission
in charge of the work was composed
of Senators Bayard, Miller, of New
York; Hawley, Hill, of Colorado,
and Hampton, and Representatives
Ranney, Ketcham, Curtin, Beach,
Burrows Knott, Townsend, of Ohio, and
Ellis. The last three named and Senators
Bayard and Hill were not in congress at
the time the final report of the joint COM
mittee adopting the design was submitted
and accepted. The report of the commits
sion is a historical document with illus
trations and much valuable information
The erection of the Tower of Victory
was prosecuted under the direction of the
secretary of war The foundation was
laid in September, 1886. 1t is not known
when the dedication will take place, as
there is no money available for such a
purpose; but bill appropriating $4,000
therefor will soon be introduced in con
gress, and it is hoped the ceremonies will
take place in April.

The recent shooting ARRAY ut Sumter,
S. c., in the Office of Trial Justice Hayns-
worth the man who fired the first shot in
the war upon the Star of the Vest, by
which the justice lost his life and several
others were dangerously wounded, was
the outcome of dispute about an excess
sive charge which John Robert keels, of
Bishopville, is alleged to have made for
drawing up some legal papers for n client
of =. G. Bowman, who had made an as
signment. The immediate outcome of this
dispute was visit to Bishopvile by the
Keelses father and som and the shooting
of p. G.. Bowman, Jr., by the younger
keels The second afrray-the one in
which Haynsworth lost his life-occurred
when the friends of the two factions were
brought into the Justices Office for the
purpose of having n peace bond signed.
How nearly every man present drew his
pistol and at once began firing has already
been told by the telegraph. Portraits and
