Meantime the Tammany crowd isn't exactly
satisfied with the mayor it elected last fall 1t
is somewhat surprising to them that Mayor
Grant is running city affairs for the interest of
the people instead of Tammany hall. They
patronizingly handed him nice slate all fixed
up with appointments they wanted them
made, and the young mayor. after hearing them
very decorously and with apparent respect for
their superior wisdom, straightway smashed
the slate into a thousand pieces and appointed
whomsoever he pleased He appointed an ex-
else commission with only one straight Tam
many man in it. he kept fire commission with
out any Tammany man at all in it, and he put
a man at the head of the health board who
wasn't even on the poll-books of the Tammany
organization as voter. The Tammany men
aren't saying much out loud yet, but thew are
waiting with grim faces to find out whom the
mayor will select for corporation counsel and
for the vacancies on the police, park. charities,
and dock commissions
In case such wealthy young New York swells
as Howard N. Potter, Fred. Beach, VIM. r.

and the Cottonet boys should happen to lose
their fortunes and be thrown upon the world
to hustle for themselves, they will be able to
at once step into positions of emolument which
will keep the wolf a respectable distance from
the door. 1t has always been thought of these
young gentlemen that they weren't capable of
any greater exertion than walking from Del
monico's to the Brunswick and back again, or
taking part in mild german or SO, but their
qualities have been misjudged. They proved
it last week, Friday night, by doing some mar
yelous feats of athletic skill in the first per-

An Object Season.

A famous French painter, Nestor
Roqueplan, who was well known as
wit, was once invited to dinner
by a newly rich family, who were
quite Willing-for once-to have the
witty painter at their sumptuous
table, for the purpose of showing
off. When the evening was over,
and the guests were departing, the
host shook the painter by the hand,
and said, in ELUSIVE French fashion:
M. Roqueplan, we are much de-
lighted. We should be glad to have
you always come and dine with us.
Always asked the painter. Eyes,
yes, always" RoquepIan smiled a
little sarcasticaIly, and went away.
The next evening, promptly at 6, the
painter putin his appearance at the
rich mans house. The family seemed
a little surprised, but ne was well
coined, and the dinner passed very
pleasantly. Next evening he came
again and was ather coolly received.
sWhatp' he exclaimed; "weren't you
expecting me?o 'sOh-oh, yes Ger
tainlyn said the host, with a forced
smile. This was kept up for week,
when the family gave orders that if
Roqueplan came again he was to
be told that they had gone out of
town to dine The servant gave
him the message when he rang the
bella at g. ssAh!' said he; s'well, I will
just run up and get my umbrella
that | left last night" He presented
himself at the table just as the fam
lily were seating themselves for the
meal. This time, however, he took
pity on them, and, after reading
them lecture on the unWisdom of
saying great deal more than they
meant, he took his departure. San

Not SO Bright as Painted.

Many people who read the fabu-
lous salaries paid to men and women
in the theatrical profession envy
them their lot. These people do not
know what the life of the average
actor is. Of course there are ex-
captions to the rule, but the average
professional actors lot is not a
particularly happy one. He makes
a contract for $50 a week, and
thinks himself secure in good posi-
tion He soon finds out. however,
that contracting for $15O a week
and getting the money are two diff
ferent matters. The pay will come
regularly for a while, then it is a
week late, then two weeks, and SO on
until finally the company breaks up,
owing its members three or four
weeks salary The expenses go on
just the same and the result is the
actor finds himself penniless and
without an engagement in the mid
die OF the season. Professional In

rustic crept through the place, and
then, all at once, such a cheer went up
as, can truly say, never heard in all
nv life before no, not even when the
troops came home from war. The
people stood up, and the ladies waved
their handkerchiefs.
The superintendent tried to speak,
and raped on his little table, but all in
vain, until the crowd had had their
three times three.
'tAnd through it all I watched my
boy He looked around him, dazed at
first by all the tumult, and trying to
see what it meant Wherever he might
turn his eyes he met hundred others
smiling on him, and a score of hands
stretched out to him as he passed
and, all at once he knew.
4-Oh, sir, cannot tell you about it,
How they carried him up to the front,
though not on the platform there he
would not go-hoW they found me out
and made me sit beside him; how there
were speeches and hand-shakings and
laughing and crying.
'-And at last the, superintendent said
that there was little child there, the
granddaughter of the president of the
road, who had been with her mother on
the train that day, and that she had
been selected by many grateful friends
to present little token to the man
whose faithful courage had saved many
lives.

shy, Llue eyes, and in her small fingers
was purse of gold. You could see the
great coins shining through the silk
netting. She held it up to him, and all
the room was as still as death. I heard
one great sob rise in my boys throat,
then he lifted the child in his arms,
and stood up. holding her, straight and
tall
But he did not take the purse. No,
darling, he said, in q low, tender
voice, so clear that everybody heard.
Then he kissed her, and lifted one long
curl from her neck.
g This is the only gold I want he
said. and looked at the childs mother
with question in his eyes.
The lady nodded, and my boy took
out little pair of scissors from his
vest pocket. and cut the curl off gently,
and put it carefully away.

what was it now? The arched ceiling
rang the gas jets fared and fickered,
and the very pendants on the chande-

zIEE,s JOURNEY

As we speed oeFt Of youths sunny station
The track seems to shine in the light,
Dut u suddenly shoots over chasnls
Or sinks into tunnels of night
and the hearts that were brave ia the morning
Are filled WishSrepining and fears
as they pause at the city of sorrow
Or pass thro' the Valley of Tears.
But the road Gf:this perilous Journey
The hand of the Master has made;
with all its discomforts and dangers,
We need not be sad or afraid
rains leading from light into darkness,
ways plungIng from gloom to dfspair,
WIND out thro' the tunnels of midnight
To fields that-ere blooming and fair.
Tho the roclls,aud the shadows surround US,
Tho We catch not one CLEAN of the day
Above US, faT. cities are laughing
And dipping white feet in some bay.
And always, 'eternal,' forever,
Down over hills in the west,
The last final end of our journey,
There lies the Great Station of Rest.
IT'S the Grand Central point of all RAILWAYS,
All roads centre here when they end;
Ills the final resort Of all tourists,
Al! rival lines meet here blend.
All tickets, all mileLbooks, all passes,
Ii stolen or begged for or bought,
On whatever road or division,
VIII bring you at last to this spot.
If you pause at the City of Trouble
Or wait in the Valley of Tears,
Be patient, the train will move onward
And rush down the track of the years,
Whatever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your aim or your quest, .
You shall come at the last with rejoicing
To the beautifultCity Of Rest.
You shall store all your baggage of worries,
You shall feel perfect peace in this realm
You shall sail with old friends on fair waters
With Joy and delight at the helm.
You shall lin cool, fragrant gardens
With those who have loved you the best,
And the hopes that were lost in life's Journey
You shall find in the City o. Rest.

The Outcast.

God pity the wandering outca<t,
As he hurries along the street,
With insufficient clothing,
And almost shoeless feet.
His eyes are bleared and sunken,
And speak of want and woe,
And every hand that's lifted,
Seems that of pitiless foe.
His life seems only "A burden,
So lonely and heavy to bear,
No light comes in his pathway,
Nothing but trouble and care.
And the children's noise and laughter,
As they shout in their glee at play,
Seems to mock his every sorrow,
As he trudges his weary way.
But he sleeps, and dreams of mother,
And of brothers and sisters too,
And sees himself in childhood's years,
When he was pure and true,
But his slumbers are rudely broken,
With curse and kick it may be,
And he starts to his feet with shiver,
And eyes that can hardly see.
So he wanders slowly onward,
In his way of sin and pain,
And every day that passes,
Leaves on mis- soul STAIN
God pity the homeless outcast,
As he plods his weary wav
And bring him out of the darkness,
To the light of perfect day.

nor EyIDENcE or BAD TRADE.

The firm Of 4. ( A. II. Batcheller, of
Boston, vac seventy years old and was
the largest shoe hrm n the world. Il
Is natural that Is Suspension should
create a sensation IN the shoe trade Of
the country. There Is, however. little
reason for alarm on account OF the
failure. The firm had failed once be-
fore, at the outbreak OF the ciwl war
when almost every shoe manufacturer
IN New England having outstanding
Southern credits went 70 the wall. 1t
was on the point OF failure again in
1872 at the time Of the great fire but
recovered. and was mp 10 a short time
ago regarded as perfectly sound. It's
paper was rated first-class and a good
deal Of it was outstanding. The failure
was due, it IS said. to outside specula-
tons by A. II. Batchellcr. the present
head Of the firm, and IS attributable in
part % the long contest with the
Knights of Labor waged by the firm in
1857.
10 is indeed expressly stated by al the
authorities. and the statement Is cor
roborated by one Of the assignees, that
the shoe trade j. better than Il was j
year ago. II the head Of the firm had
confined his attention 70 MS business
the smash could hardly have occurred.
Even as It Is, the firm Will, IL IS said,
probably be able 10 make very full set
tlement, and the younger members viii
be able 70 resume business very shortly.
Heavy failures DO not always mean
bad trade, and TINS is certainly the
case with the Lewis and Batcheller sus-
pensions. Neither Of them need have
occurred so FAR astrade conditionsalone
are considered
