AT NIGHT IN PARIS.

~ At seven o'clock OF half-past seven
dinner. Paris is, of all cities, the sec
ond city where one can, according tc
whim, eat the dearest or the cheapest
But on the boulevards there is little
choice; the rents are so enormous that
they oblige the managers of restaur
ants to maintain very high prices,
Foreigners, bewarel You are exploited
in Paris just as we are probably
pounced upon in New York. Capitals
have nothing to learn from one an
other in that respect.
Nine o'clock-You go to the theater,
smoking your cigar, while spectators
on the Bourse crowd into the vast hall
of the Credit Foncier and cry out with
much noise the morrows operations.
1t is what is called the petite Bourse du
soir.
Midnight-The theaters close. This
is the time when the aspect of the
boulevards is most varied. All classes
of society mingle, elbowing and push

up and cigar between their lips, turn
their steps toward the clubs, where

The dramatic critics rush to their
newspapers in order to improvise their
accounts of the play. And conspicuous
above the ineongruous throng a legion
of ragged hawkers, whom we call
camelots, echo one another's voices on
the boulevards, proffering to the pub

ISLANDERS This is one of the worst
offenses of Paris, this deluge of filthy
publications which are cried out with
impunity in our streets without the po-
lice daring to interfere. -Francisque

why woioott became a senator.

"Wolcott owes his election to the
senate, said gentleman who knows
him well, ito a sensational account of
his winning large stake at faro at
Long Branch few years ago. VOL
colt won something like $50, 900 on one
play, and the story was sent from one
end of the country to the other. He
had no idea at that time of seeking
political preferment. But the publica-
ton of this story touched Wolcott's
pride. He determined to prove to the
country that he was something more
than a faro bank plunger, and he did
it. That is the true story of how VOL
colt came to enter politics."
The authority for the above is Colonel
Thomas Porterhouse Ochiltree, SO it
must be true. st. Louis Republic.

The Farmers and the Wheat Crop.

The following is being exclusively

a Chicago morning paper devoNeF
three columns to the publication Off
what purports to be secret cipoularj
to be- issued to the farmers of the
Nation unfolding the development of
a plan to force up the price of the
present crop of wheat. The. paper
says 1t is proposed to withhold this
years wheat crop from the market
until the farmers can get their ownH
price, or at least price considerable

Impressed by the failure of the. Bat
terworth option bill and other naeas-
ures to prevent trading in futures on
farm prodhcts, the tanners are now,
through their official advisers, at least
proposing to go on strike for higher
prices.
Legislation is declared to be too
low aud ineffectuab and as the, con-
| litions- of the crop, and the market
appear auspiciouS the producers, whAn
organized, may hope to form a comb
natio@ that will result in the profit

lllhe circular makes an argument on
the evils of option dealing, and the
tnSS'ks to which spectators resort in
order to present the farmer from real
iee good prices, and gives the gov
~ ent estimate on the present crop.
IN Estimates are that the country
iwi have l44.OOo,0O bushels of wheat
for export. Tho. circular further sets,
forth that there is shortage in crops.
in Europe. and declares that there is.
no chance of failure in an attempt to.
realize tho higher prices.
Ii urges all members of farmers or
ganisations to hold their grain until
the price shall advance to Sl.35, per
bushel at New York, and points out
that by SO doing a profit OF $l8O,O00,-
600 is sure to accrue to them within a
few weeks.
Farmers are urged to- take this
stand even at the expense of being
pinched for money for time.

A Fashion That pIeasos the Youngsters


The practice of putting boys into
knickerbockers at the early age now
fashionable is distinct innovation over
ten or a dozen years ago. The kilt
suit period nowadays is very short
babies of four strutting about in knee
breaches with pockets. Time was, and
not so very long ago, when fashionable
mothers coaxed their sons along for
twelve years in hybrid kits that had
vest and waistcoat as sort of sop to
the Inannish leanings of the repressed
lad. 1t was considered plebeian to dolf
skirts at all early; but all this is changed.
and the little fellows jump from baby
dresses to abbreviated trousers that
have no legs to speak Of. For once,
however, fashion does exactly what the
child delights in. the smallest boy find
ing entire satisfaction in brooches. -

A bad breath is certainly repulsive,
and very properly so, not only because
it is unpleasant in itself, but because it
can always be remedied with proper
care. If 1t proceeds from decayed
teeth a dentist should be consulted; if
from a disordered stomach it is case
for the physician. Two drains of

Dismarck's Love for Trees.

The prince then proceeded to speak
of his trees in the Sachsenwald. He
described the spots where several OF the
finest stand, and some of them, he said,
were fully $50 years odd, or even more.
He added-whether with an oblique
reference or not to a certain living
English statesman whose chief re-
semblance to himself is that he is not

$15, 900, 900, which was $3,0O0,OO0 in ex-
cess of the final estimate of the engineer,
Roebling, who was appointed in charge
of the work ON May 80, 1867. Two years

Editing Poetry.

Newspaper traditions in New York
contain many quaint instances of the
art of boiling down copy. 1t is a COM
mon saying that q newspaper receives
twice as much matter as it prints. A
large sacrifice to the blue pencil or re-
jected copy spindle is inevitable. The
champion boiler of news in the New
York Offices in the days that veterans
in the business still remember was DIR.
Wood, who exercised his art in The Sun
office for many years, and the most ar
tistic feat OF condensation remembered
of him is worth recording. One night
half column poem was turned over to
him to edit. Copy was copy to his
practical eye, and he set out to get at
the meat of the verses and state it in
the fewest possible words. This was
the result:
Do you lovo mel No.
Then go.

1t is often a matter Of speculation
how the multitude of street vendors in
Now York make a living. In the vicin-
ity Of the postofiice, opposite the Aston
House, arc always to be seen numerous
push carts some containing nothing
but banaiias, invariably propelled by
lazy looking sons of Italy. Watch them
for an hour, or as long a time as you
can spare, and the chance sales are SO
small, so few and far between, that it
doesn't seem possible that enough bust
ness can be done to yield a profit suf-
ficient to keep body and soul together.
Yet very few of them but turn out from
one dollar to two dollars day clear of
expenses
An average of 81. so per day, rain or
shine, is not unusual, There are no
expenses beyond the small capital in
vested in a bunch of the succulent
tropical fruit. Very often this is fur
nished by another Italian, who may
own number of these carts and vari
GUS street stands, while the vendors are
operating on shares or commissions.
This capitalist is a sort of padrone, and
having himself sprung from the ranks
requires serupulous accounting from
his poorer countrylnan, whose ambi-
ton to own a cart and his own trade is
almost sure to be realized in the course
of time. The latter is then ready to
marry and run an establishment of his
own.
He can earn as much as the average
day laborer, but he must be about the
streets early and late. The police reg
ulations compel him to keep moving.
Persistent violation of these rules is
likely to get him into trouble, though
1.-The finest" are very lenient in the ex-
ercise of their discretion in this respect.
The fruit cart is but one of the many
sources Of livelihood of the street vend-
er, but its meager simplicity appeals
most powerfully to the imagination of
the observer. York Herald.

The Census In New York and Phiiadelphia.
The census of New York city at the
best constitutes most difficult prob
lem. In comparison with such task
a census of Philadelphia is child's play
There we have a city openly built, with
ninety houses to every hundred families
Tenement houses are rare. Few of the
people sleep in stables in cellars or in
lofts. The houses are set squarely on
the streets. Four-tifths of the inhabit-
ants are native born, and all but a
trifiing PERCENTAGE are of English
speech.
Merely to state these facts is, to one
who knows anything of New York,
enough to show the difficulties of emu
meration in that city, which in 1880
had for 243, 157 families but 1854
dwellings, of which perhaps 20, 900 were
tenement houses within the meaning of
the sanitary acts. -
New York is city of courts aR&v al
leys in the lower parts, and withN 6u-
sands of shanties, sheds and inhabited
sites in the upper parts, and its popula-
tionI is almost equally divided between
natives and foreigners, no small pro
portion of the latter element using
languages other than English-not
merely the more or less familiar Ger
man and French, but Slavic and even
non-Aryan tongues.-General Francis
