rather for tears than curses. He hardly
knows what he does, and his necessitous
condition is surely some cloak for his
sins. But here is man whose vii
lainous use of money nothing can
palliate or excuse. If the poor, neces-
sitous rascal who sells his manhood to
fill an empty stomach is a menace to
free institutions, and merits the execra-
ton OF all good men, how snail the
millionaire who pays for this iniquitous
prostitution of manhood be enthroned
as demigod, and why shall the skies
resound with praises in his honor? He
is the man who menaces free institu-
tions, and whose villainies call for
curses and scourges at the hands
of enraged patriotism. If the low
bred rascal who sells his manhood
to relieve the throes of hunger
is a villain worthy of curses and con-
tempt, the exalted parsonage who buys
that rascal, soul and body, all his man
hood for few pieces of silver, is a
menace so terrible to free institutions,
and villain so base, so bereft of all
manhood, that the world ought
to be made too hot to hold him.
He ought to be scourged naked through
the Union, to teach all men the price
patriotism puts upon the. bulwarks OF
its jewels. Those jewels are free institu
tions, and their bulwark is the ballot
box, with its purity preserved inviolate
from the corrupting influence OF money.

tance of the stage from the front rows of
the theatres, far less pronounced IN its
effects, than the bevy of bellies that
one can get within an inch
of on Broadway in the light of the
MONDAY sun. Another effect is that
artists models who used to get fifty
cents an hour for posing are like to
starve for lack of employment, as the
artists take their stand on Fifth avenue
at promenade hours, pallet and brush in
hand, and make their Studies" quite as
we'll. There is said to be no muscle in
the frame that is not easily sketched,
and that under the heightened effects
created by the poetry of motion evolved
as lovely being trips along. AS
further proof of the amount of the best
society one can see on the streets,
it is positively asserted that pro-
fessors of anatomy have discarded
the rather i'll defined and gaudily col
ored charts that hung upon their walls,
and now take their pupils to those
streets where upper-tendom most does
congregate to walk, and there in the
exhilaration Of the open air, and also of
the loveliness in view, the learned pro-
lessor points out each muscle and it's
natural action in rounded limb and
supple form as the belle, like Virgil's
Juno, "walks queen"
1t is also said that the high society
dame and demoiselle, in her native and
cultivated modesty, revolts in her in
most soul at this display she
is forced to make to the gaze
ef the grinning and vulgar populace; /;
but that the edicts of fashion reign so
supreme, that the stings OF conscience
made tender by religious emotions. and
the natural reluctance of the female OF
the human species of the human race,
both have to be relentlessly suppressed
at the command of those highly gifted
and noble-souled people, yclept men
milliners, the brainy males of the species
who devote their high order of talents
to the production of 'tailor-made girls. J"

A CHAPTER ON FASHIONS.

New York City is very ambitious
place. Gotham, not content with being
the largest city on the western hemis-
phere, is now making really dangerous
bid for the whole population, not merely
of the United States, Canada, and the
sister republics to the south of us. whom
Jim Blaine failed to wheedle into re-
moving bag and baggage to the United
States, but the city of the Knickerbock-
ers are trying to draw to their fold the
people OF the world-that is, all the CIV
ilized portions. The attractions they
offer, strange to say, are such as the un-
tutored mind of the savage is too fanll.
lar with in his native haunts to give
baubee for on the streets of New York.
Yet the magnet to draw the people
from beyond seas and across mountains,
to live in New York, is decidedly
artistic one, and yet, again, it is
no more than Nature herself, strange as
these paradoxes may appear. 1t is sim
ply beauty-yes, adorned, and nearly
admired the most by being almost not
adorned at all. As one reads of this
new design to boom New York at the
expense of the world at large, one is con-
strained to exclaim, "Shades of Anthony
Comstock, what thinks thou now ?'
"Venus in skirts" is the way this
artistic display of nature is named by
the press of that designing and ambitious
city. The display it not by any means
catholic, but rather most exclusive in
its scope. 1t does not seek to set a
museum of all objects before the eve,
but singles out single class of natures
fine handiwork. 1t is the chef d'euvre
of the great Danes doings, to be sure,
that is selected. 1t is the godlike human
form-not as it appears in the hardened
muscles, sharp lines and pronounced
angularities Of the male species of the
kingly biped who dominates all animate
creation, but as its graces and symmetry
are developed in the softer, more plant
and altogether more attractive lines and
curves of mans better half, that mar
velous creation wrought from the bare,
bony, and seemingly unpromising rib
taken from lonely and profoundly
sleeping Adam, to be help-meet for
him in the garden, whose budding
loyeliness was more delightful to the
father of our race, than were all those
choicest flowers that bestrewed the
promised paradise.
Gotham has developed new fashion
plate, and clad in the scanty robes there
provided, her piquant and picturesque
DANES will soon make it manifest that
all roads lead hereafter to New York. or
that new roads will have to be con-
structed to accommodate the quicken
ing footsteps of the throngs which will
flock from all remotest regions to her
gates. The female form divine is by
tsiis new edict of Worth, or some
other worthy man milllner, fitted in un-
dergarments that fit almost like the Gu
ticle itself, and over them is draped
garment that fits like the glove upon
the darling's little hand. Thus bedight
she trips down Fifth avenue or Broad
way, thing OF beauty and a revelation
to all callow youth and bashful bach
elors. So striking is the modern
Gotham belle in this new costume that

A Pity That This Mans Name Was Pub
lshed.
A reporter was crossing City Hall Park
the other day about 10 o'clock. On the
sidewalk was brown-covered document
carefully rivited. 1t was an agreement
duly signed and stamped by both parties,
The one to supply paving stones, the other
to receive and pay for them. The sum in
question was no small one, over 100000.
The reporter gave it to one of the office
boys and asked him to run down to the
lawyer whose name was on the front page.
1t was disputed case, and the lawyer of
Nassau street for the defense directed the
boy to an office in the Times building, the
plaintiffs office. The loss of the document
and its Enclosures had caused q picnic in
the small Office, and as the boy entered he
saw the principal i'll anything but happy
Frame
He told the story, and on producing the
document was Familiarity patted on the back.
The woman typewriter who had charge of
the document was only too thankful at the
recovery OF the papers, but the most inter-
ested person, the head of the firm, made
some cauStc remarks about the cleanliness
of the papers that had been picked up in
the street. He then threw out some hints
OF unreasonable delay in returning the doc
ument The boy in disgust left the office.
In the afternoon the reporter who had
actually picked up the package, hearing of
the occurrence, called at the Office of the
Times building and was informed by the
atfiuent lawyer that the two typewriters,
earning $40 week, wished to know and re-
ward the boy who had got them out of a
scrape. The worthy lawyer himself had no

In a communication to THE CALL, d. c.
Rumsey, an old resident of Lake County
and President of the Bank of Lake, says:
ION seeing in your paper biographical
sketch of Captain Martin Corcoran, Chief
Wharfinger Of your city. was reminded of
an incident Ill his career. Away back early
in the fifties the Captain was running on
small steamer plying between San Fran
cisco and Alviso.
Sometime during the summer of 1858, I
think it was ON the vessels trip to the city,
when the Captain was at the wheel, a lady
fell overheard. Corcoran instantly took in
the situation, lang the bell to stop the en-
gines and the next instant plunged into the
rough bay and rescued the lady. A boat
was lowered soon as possible, but to use the
Captains own words, We were 800 yards
asteru before it reached us, and you be |
had to do some tall swimming"
When spoken to in regard to the cOmmu-
nlcatlOn Captain COrcOran said: ~ es, |
remember the occurrence well. II was in
April, 1855. L was captain of the small
stern-wheel steamer San Jose, formerly
known as the Jenny Lind. plying from here
to Alviso. taking passengers for San jose.
At the time you speak of we were on our
way TO the city. 1t was blowing a gale of
wind. and the lady fell overheard when we
were off Redwood City. / jumped after
and was fortunate enough to save her. 1
may say that l was younger and spryer
man than l am now. l don't care to tell
the young Iady's name. She afterward
married, raised family and has since died.
" In those Jays" continued the captain,
1.-THE fare between here and San Jose was
81. and for freight we charged So per ton.
The steamer | was on was owned by my
self, Captain ThOrne, John Harkins and
Hall ~ Crandall. We were the regular line,
but at the time l speak of an opposition
boat called the Express was put on aud we
reduced the passenger fare to % cents a
head. We beat 'em. Those were good old
days" and the chief shook his head rue
fully as his mind reverted to old times.
