sULLIvAN,s AMBITION.

SULLIVAN'S AMBITION.
 John L. Sullivan has made what his gang would call new t'break." In a labored, but very frank letter, written, as he declares, by himself, he announces that he Is prepared to forsake fstic pursuits for politics and that he intends to jump over the usual preliminaries and land in congress. He appears to have ne doubt that he can easily do this, and assures the world that he feels competent to hold his own in congress.
 This seems rather funny now, but it N ill be better to wait awhile before laughing very heartily at it. We have had one noted prize fighter in congress, and we may have another. Boston is very proud of Professor Sullivan, and it may be that she will send him to rep. resent her wealth and culture in Washington. One thing is certain: If he does go there he will be listened to when he speaks and he will be at home in some of the contests which oe- casionally occur in the house. He may not leave off drinking, but he will not be without company in this respect in Washington.

with his wife and children and whatever ho usehold effects he still possesses.
 On their arrival the clothing they wear and the furniture they have brought with them are thoroughly disiufected, and the members of the family are sent to different parts of the establishment according to sex or age. The husband is located in the mems department; the wife the eldest daughters and the smallest children are sent to that for women, while the boys over six years of age are cared for in rooms specially set apart for them. The entire family are al- lowed to remain in the shelter for eight days, and are not only lodged, but are pro- vided also with good wholesome food by the city, not a penny being asked from them in return. The women, however, arc expected to assist in the laundry and in keeping the establishment sorupulously clean; the men are allowed certain hours of absence, during which they may go in search of work should they be out of employment, while the boys get regular instruction in the school rooms.
 Should 1t be found that the husband or father has honestly striven to obtain work during the eight days, but has failed, the family is allowed to remain for still another such period. Even then if he should have obtained an engagement which is not sufi- ciently remunerative to enable him to set up fresh home at once, the wife and children may remain still longer in the shelter, and he may go there and sleep at night. Even with all this the kindness of the city does not end, for when at last the family leave they may be presented with from fifteen to twenty shillings toward their preliminary household expeHses

QUEEN vICTOKIA,s YACHT. The Beautiful Floating Palace in Which the English Sovereign Tray
From the London Truth.l

LFrom the London Truth.l
 The exquisite cleanliness of everything strikes one forcibly on board the Victoria and Albert. The deck is laid with cork floor cloth, over which, when the queen is on board, carpet is placed, and everything elses to be seen is of puEe white, with gilded relief-work and silver mountings. There are very comfortable sitting rooms on the promenade deck and behind the paddle wings, and there is also dining saloon on the promenade deck, which has three big windows and skylight It is furnished in green morocco, and the ceiling is painted in white and gold.
 The State apartments below are placed on either side of corridor, and they are fur- nished with very pretty chintz. The queens cabins are on the etarboard side, and her sleeping apartment contains large and old-fashioned but very comfortable looking
 bedstead, with pillars and canopy, and next is the dressing room, which was formerly Prince Albert's cabin, and it remains as he left 1t, his little writing table and wardrobe never having been moved. Large maps hang on the walls. The cabins occupied by Princess Beatrice tor by any princess who happens to be travelling with the qusen) are aft of her majesty's quarters, and on the other side of the corridor are the cabins of the prince and large bathroom. The breakfast room is in the afterpart of the vessel, and 1t has very large windows and is hung with the portraits of all the ofa- cers who have commanded the royal yacht The drawing room Is forward on the port l side, and 1t is furnished in bird's-eye maple,
 with piano and several beautifully carved | side tables. It is hung with portraits of ! members of the royal family, and in this l room is small library. The yacht is now lighted with electricity, except in the queens l own cabins.

THE CONsTITUTION SAFE.

Two days and three nights have gone since Friday night and the constitution of the United States still stands and both fac tions in the school contest are still engaged in pursuing life, liberty and happiness. It did not look Friday night as if the sacred document would withstand the shock, but it has done 1t. Those who were so fearful for the "perpetuity of free institutions" might have gained courage by remembering a cer- tain meeting that took place in the Athe- neum building few years ago. Then the packing was even more scientifically done than at Friday nights meeting and ''free speech" received quite as rude shock. But all who were present lived through it and anarchy didn't rear its horrid head to any great extent afterwards. We suspect that it will be so this time, and that all will yet be we'll. We also believe that the re- spectabls gentlemen who compose the free text book ticket will not be blamed for the unruliness of few howlers, very conspicuous among whom were some industrious ward politicians who are opp osed to the free text book ticket and who doubtless thought that the meeting was as good a place to create g disturbance as any.

CAY OLD AGE.
A Negro One Hundred Years old Wed
 With one Nearly Seventy.

A Ne&f0 On0 Hun0r00 00r8 Ol0 W 0O
 With One Nearly Seventy.
 From the Memphis Avalanche.1
 Thomas Riddiok, colored, who claims to be nearly 100 years old, was married yester- day to Cherry Dig9s, giddy creature of 70 or whereabouts. Riddick is remarkably well preserved, and was born in South Carolina of parents brought over from Africa by . slayer. He doesn't know his exact age, but remember the war of 1872 distinctly, he claims.
 He and the choice of his old age were joined in the bond of matrimeny by Chair man Slaughter yesterday in the county court clerks office. The lovers entered the office in bashful sort of way, and the old man told Deputy Kelly in difRdent whisper that he wanted to take unto himself wife.
 MT. Kelly suggested a burial permit in lieu, but the ancient wouldn't accept the amendment, and he got the marriage license. Chairman Slaughter was present and in an- swer to call pronounced the magic words that gave Thomas his Cherry. The groom kissed the bride, who was as coy and 10th to either grant or deny the privileges as 18- year-old maiden; then he gave the agent of Hynen $1, explaining that that was every cent he had.
 "Now, eff you gonnermans kin hep de ole man out wid a cawnterbution, the LswdW remember you, said the groom, and he passed the hat and collected enough to take him and his bride oR wedding tour to the brick church in Chelsea.
 Before leaving the office Riddick said he was 8 widowsr. He married his first wife about the time the stars fell and lived with her forty-four years, during which time she bore him seventeen children. His young- est daughter is the mother of ten children and has thirteen grandchildren, and the others of his progrency have been equally patriotic.
 He and Cherry have known each other for many years. It is not known if their mar riage was deferred on account of parental opposition.

Justice Fields Pistel.

From Philadelphia Telegraph, Washington Letter.
 Justice Field is not a stranger to the rough ways of early California. He was part of the makeup of those earlier times. I was told story of him the other day that indi- cates that he may have been given little to blutfing when he was younger and not Su- prsme Justice. AS my informant told it, be had case before one of the courts, in which he was opposed by young lawyer who had tho reputation of quiet and peaeeable man, but was under the suspicion of having e bit of determination and courage when he was in the right. Something about the case did not ge to suit MT. Field, and he spoke to the young lawyer about it. This led to high words, and presently Mr. Field drew pistol, which he aimed at his opponent. The now Supreme Justioe was not prepared for the eff feet it had on tho young man. He looked calmly into Fields face for an instant, then he deliberately drew big knife and sprang forward. Field turned without firing and ran away. The young man pursued and the two
 went racing at top speed around and around
 the Court House. Field with his pistol in
 his hand and the other after him with g dead
 ly glow in his eye, until some one got hold of the young man and held him while Field got out of the way.

BERLIN,s CITY SHELTER.
A Unique German Charity Which
 Might We'll be Initiated Here.

From the New York Post
 One of the most noteworthy institutions of Berlin is that known as the "City Shell ter' the like of which is to bs found in no other capital in the world. It stands just opposite Berlin, was opened in October, 1877, and is intended for the accommodation not only of homeless individuals, but of home- less families as we'll It consists of one large three-story building, and, in the rear, twenty-one barracks, each of which is capa- ble of accommodating from sixty to eighty persons. The main building is intended chiefly for poor families. Rents are excess sively high in Berlin, and 1t often happens that an artisan or laborsr gets into arrears with his payments, and finds himself elected | with his family into the street, having no | fresh rooms.

Pore Hyaeinthe.

IG. M. Smalley in New York Tribune
 The figure which sat at my side was one not likely to escape observation anywhere. In sombre garb, his ecclesiastical character was avowed in the silk waist-eoat which reached to his throat and in the neat Roman collar which enciroled it. He was tall, slightly stepping perhaps because he was reading-and his flesh was little sug- gestive of insufficient physical exercise, not white and hard, but dark and almost fabby. He was not fat, nor was there aught in his aspect to suggest that he does not live life of temperance, If not of aus- terity. His head was singularly fine. It's dome, perfect in outline, except perhaps trif1e too high for It's breadth, is scantily fringed with hair that is now iron-gray and will be white in another five years. The face, clean-shaven, is long, almost handsome, thoughtful and melancholy. The dsrk-gray eyes were meditating behind eye glasses or perussd tiny duodecimo in calf, little classic, one of the second rate Roman authors. The reader was evidently quite at home in Latin.
