rapidity. Still another young man threw
up the sponge about year ago and retired
disguised from Wall street to enter iegiti-
mate business life ia Maine. Within the
past week, however, he has come back to
town and taken charge Of the uptown branch
OF brokers' office.
Swift and sure as are the punishments OF
speculation, the victims nearly always try
again 70 tempt the goddess, ard it is this
early lesson Of adversely that frequently
makes the cautious and succe -sIul specula-
tor of after life The sitting process among
the youthful spectators whose head are
turned by few early successes-whlch
they invariably attribute to far-seeing iudg-
ment-lands a good many of them in the
Consolidated exchange as a sort of purga-
tory. Here the average member IS much
younger than in the Broad street establish
ment, and they are all in the transition
state, going upward or downward. vast
number of these youngsters merely play at
the brokerage business, many not even
going so far as to have desk room or an Of
fee
1t is not long ago when three boys from
Staten Island started with grand flourish
as brokers on New street. One of them
had seat on the Consolidated exchange
which had cost two or three hundred dol
lars, and he was the solid man of the es-
Establishment They raised money enough
to hire ticker ard an errand boy, had
cards and letter heads printed with the
name of "the firm" in large type and be-
gan TO make small ventures of $40 to $40 in
oil certificates, in regard to which there
was as much consultation among the
operators" as when Jay Gould aid the
leaders in the street are considering the pur
chase of a railroad. For couple of months
they posed before ali their friends as prom
Using tnanciers, young Napoleons, etc., but
the inevitable day came; when oil went
down about two points, they were caught,
or, as one of them expressed it, "spread all
over the market" and in a couple of weeks
they had all gone back to their old positions
delivering stock for brokerage houses at 81
a week.
The greatest eminence they ever attained
was when the suspension Of their firm was
announced from the rOstrum Of the ex-
change to a room full of brokers who had
never heard of the concern before. They
have all carefully preserved the cards Of
their business Office, and pose among their
friends as fellow-victims of a capricious
market.

Something About the Family Affairs OF
New YorI's Favorito Orator.


New YorIS's Favorito Orator.
The homo life OF Chauncey Depew's
family is one of the most ideal in New
York. They live in the large, hand
some house vacated by DIR. William A.
Hammond when the latter removed to
Washington. The house has been re-
decorated throughout since the De-
pews acquisition of IL. Especially
characteristic of Mr.. Depew's taste is
the dining-room, which has mingled in
its decorations appropriate inscriptions
in French, German, English, Latin and
Greek. There is beautiful parlor.
whose ceiling Is domed and which is
fnished--walls, hangings, furniture
all in white. In Mr.. Depew .tudy
the light from q stained windoF oifts
through Eastern palms and touches
gently an Egyptian mummy and falls
upon the head of sphinx, sort OF
furnishing which gives the place a two
fold interest. The household arrange
ments are simple and without ostenta-
tion though there are plenty OF SER
wants. Two buffers wait at table, and
Mrs Depew has French maid. The
stable contains three horses, q coupe
and an open carriage .,..
The family includes besides Mr.. and
Mrs. Depew and young Chauncey aged
ten, Mrs Depews mother, Mrs Hege-
man, and the two little daughters of a
brother who died at her house
few weeks ago, and their
governess. Mrs. Depew's father
was wholesale druggist on
Broadway, and accumulated large
fortune. He was an accomplished am
ateur artist, and Mrs. Hegeman was in
her day one of the finest amateur pian-
lists in the city.
The top floor of the Depew home is
given up to the children. Here are the
nursery and the school room,
and here on rainy days they
accompany the governess on
imaginary trips through Central
park, young Chauncey's lively fancy
plying as many questions about imag.
mary object as he is used to do about
real ones The young heir has very
active mind, and has had to be KEEP
back in his studies. His mother has
been his only teacher But the chill
dren's happiest time is in the late after
noon, for then the great orator comes
home, and it is his habit to mount t.
the play room and join them in theil
games. Seated upon the floor with the
little ones about him, the hours go by
in telling stories and answering ques
tions till dinner time, when he hurrie'
into an evening dress and drives away
to some one of the many society ant
club banquets which daily demand the
honor of his presence He never writes
speech, but usually spends few mo
ments rejecting on his subject, jottine
down few headings in the process. -

PlayfuIness of Animals.

Deer often engage in sham battle
or trial of strength, by twisting their
horns together and pushing for the
mastery. All animals that pretend
violence in their play stop short of ex-
ercising it; the dog takes the greatest
precaution not to injure by his bite;
and the ourang-outang, in wrestling
with his keeper, attempts to throw
him, and makes feints of biting him.
Some animals carry out in their play
the semblance OF catching their prey;
young cats, for instance, leap after
small and moving objects, even to the
leaves strewed by the autumn wind;
they crouch and steal forward ready
for the spring; the body quivering and
the tail vibrating with emotion, they
