The Hired Man. coast between Ports
mouthand Halifax-was the longest he had
ever undertaken. Edward had more knowl-
edge of books than of the world. He was
poor farmer's boy, and accustomed to- hard
work and the tollsome tasks of lad of his
station in life. But he was ambitious
"smaht as steel trap" his Yankee asso-
ciates said-and he had determined to fight
his way upward in life, get the best educa-
ton he could, and pursue some profession
that should be more remunerative, as well
as more congenial to his tastes, than farm
ing. He had already made good start,
passing through the common school and the
academy Of his native town with honor, and
he now came to Massachusetts, to help on his
Cousin Dawes farm and so earn money to
pursue his educational course at some
higher institution. 1t is just possible he
didn't find Sagawsm Center as enlightened
and progressive as he had imagined 3 COM
munity within 80 miles of cultured and
aesthetic Boston should be. At any rate he
was impressed with good many customs
that appeared novel to him, and, writing to
his mother, said:

room, or at least only an apology for one
As a rule, she has to take off her street
clothes and put on her costume in the pres
ence of several other girls in q damp,
moldy place, with bare stone walls adorned
with indecent expressions. Last of all, she
dons her gloves, that have been whitened
with pipe clay, and when her turn comes
goes on to sing her couplet Presently
there is passage which she thinks should
be emphasized with an energetic gesture, so
she places her hand over her heart and
when she removes it, lol there is the white
imprint of thumb and fingers on the colored
corsage. The hall shrieks with laughter,
her comrades guy her from the side scenes
and the s-age manager hastens to drop the
curtaiE = avoid disaster.
Usually the public are in sympathy with
the performers, but not always, and some
times they have way of cutting up singer
with bantering interruptions. Most of us
have seen and heard a popular caricaturist
who often thus amuses himself One evening
at the Scala bearded baritone sang, "Je
voudrais etre petit oiseau," and directly af-
terward came the words, "Je voudrsis etre
millitaire."
RATTLING A SINGER.
Our friend, standing up on his chair, re-
marked in very loud voice, to the great
delight of everyone present:
Pardon, Monsieur, little bird or officer
as you like, but you cannot be both. Come,
now, make your choice, and the singer dis
appeared, all broke up.
Another time this same funny man served
girl similar trick. She was singing "Je
chante bien quand il est Ia" but she was
doing it in a very falsetto voice, so he arose,
and bowling politely to the left and to the
right of him, remarked:
After hearing what Msdemioselle has
just said, 1 quite understand it is my duty
to go and find him."
As a rule, however, the audiences are
very indulgent, and give these artistes more
applause than they do groans and Kisses,
and when one of them has got into the
good books of the troupe, especially of the
chief of the orchestra, very important
individual who supplies little "bouibouis''
their music for 80 centimes daily, they gain,
good and bad years, a very fair living, be.

grammes. Some few marry and make good
wives, others remain single, and all, o

She was go now, but she had been handsome
once, and there had been a romance in her
life, though she never spoke of it. The old
residents of Sagawam Center knew her story
though. 1t was sad and brief, but notbine
out of the ordinary run of human affairs to
any except Mandy. A happy courtshin
succeeded by betrothal; a lovers quarrel:
the youth suing for reconciliation and mar

Honor for an American Artist.

A very pleasing little story comes from
Paris about Miss Daisy Brown, of this city,
to whom have already referred as young
artist who promises to make name in the
world of art. After brief term under Cox
and Chase in New York, wealthy relative
was good enough to furnish funds for her
instruction abroad. A few weeks ago she
sailed, and at Paris Immediately entered
the noted Julian school, which is visited
twice a week by such masters as
Bouguereau and Fleurie. Miss Browns
first charcoals drawing, figure
from life, arrested the attention of Bougue-
reau on the occasion of his first visit after
her admission to the school. Going hur-
riedly among the many pupils, dropping re-
marks in passing, the strength, boldness
and truth of Miss Browns work caught his
eye. he stopped before it, applauded with
his hands enthusiastically and exclaimed in
dmiration-conduct decidedly exceptional
with Bouguereau. He selected the sketch
as one of four to be placed on exhibition,
which is an honor rarely accorded to a
student only beginning an initial term.

Ex-Pre.ident CleveIaud,s Portrait.

Very soon after his return from his South
ern tour ex-President Cleveland will give
several sittings to the artist, Mr.. S. Jerome
Uhl, of this city, for the completion of the
portrait ordered by the management Of the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. Mr.. Uhl had two
sittings at the White House previous to the
4th of March, but owing to the pressure of
executive business, and the necessity of
packing up and getting out, could have no
more of Mr.. Cleveland time The Corcoran
gallery has complete line of portraits of
the Presidents, but only four or five of these
were painted from life. A majority have
been done by A. G. Heaton from other por-
traits, and only two or three of the whole
number have any artistic merit.

Enthusiastic FIoppsrr.

This little story reminds me of letter I
saw the other day. 1t was from one former
Democrat to another. They had both been
applicants for Office under Cleveland during
the whole of that officials term, but were
constantly shunted off because their cham
pion was Democrat not in sympathy with
the administration. The letter from one
congratulated the other on his flop to the
Republicans, pronounced the fiat that ''the
Democratic party is gone to hades," and in
closed a letter eloquently indorsing the
other for a position. Each has recon-
mended'the other in the most glowing terms,
and should not wonder if they both got in,
for such energy and persistency usually has
its reward in preferment. The trouble is
they will not be worth elbow room if they
get in.

A Successful Firm.

A notable anniversary was celebrated
Wednesday in the Albany building, Vine
street, Cincinnati. 1t was that of the sue
cessful newspaper advertising agency Of s.

was established in Cincinnati 81 years ago,
and has grown steadily ever since. Since
its inception the firm has been doing busi-
ness with this paper, and The Dispatch
takes pleasure in saying that its relations

men connected with it have the strictest re-
gard for business integrity and truthful
statement.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE pIsPATcH.1
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 5.-For the
student of humanity there is no place in the
National Capitol quite so attractive at this
time as the hotel corridors. Ever since the
inauguration they have been crowded with
Office seekers, and pretty much the same lot.
A few have gone away, some, with appoint
ments, others because of depleted pocket
books. Somehow the hotel keepers don't
take much stock in the substance of the
Office seekers purse, and when it begins to
run dry little Difference is paid to political
prospects. In many cases pay in advance
by the day or week is demanded. In few
hotel bills have been successfully evaded by
those who have reached the little end of
their financial string, but the instances in
which the hotel clerk is beaten are very
rare.
Politicians are often smart, but no class
of men are keener judges than the hotel
clerk of the pecuniary condition of guests,
not by their clothes or their cheek, but by
an instinct which scents almost infallibly
that indefnable something which tells with
equal certainty of full or an empty purse

AeaEteu hnose lateS are worse than hers.
Aunt Mandy was a woman we'll endowed
with common sense. She had master fac
ulty of gettin' on the good side O. folks and
then stayin' there, /" according to the testi-
mony of Hen Parker, who was the richest
farmer in Sagawam, and being ''first see
lect man, was regarded as "head man" in
the community. Hen had been one of the
many who aspired to Amanda's hand, after
the great sorrow of her life was passed. But
he wooed in vain, like all the rest. and
though he married later he still 'set great
store by Mandy" and praised her faculty
to everyone, not even excepting his wife.
Mandy received the attentions of so many
suitors, all of whom she rejected, still man
aging to retain their friendship, that her
girl acquaintances came to look upon her as
an oracle in regard to love matters, and thew
gradually fell into the habit of seeking her
advice on all occasions when they were in
need of counsel. After she had settled the
matrimonial business of her friends and her
numerous cousins, both male and female. her
reputation for sagacity became SO great that
she mad no need of a sign to bring plenty of
customers to her matrimonial bureau.
Meantime her brothers and sisters had mar
ried and troop of nephews and nieces
were growing up. When thev became of
suitable age Mandy lent her offices to secure
them mates, end so numerous were they
that had she confined her attention wholly
to the love affairs of these her relatives
this duty alone would have given her more
matchmaking experience than usually falls
to the lot of a woman anywhere, except in
a village like Sagawam.
The old village struck Edward Martin,
Dawes Young cousin. as being very pecu-
liar place when he first began to get ac-
