How One Woman Wins.

Lord Knutsford's nephew, who is at
the Auditorium, saws that an American
adventures has made a fortune in
Europe within few months by a novel
swindle.
"a few weeks ago." began the mar
rator, "a queenly American woman
came to the Savoy Hotel. Shortly after
her arrival she had an advertisement
printed in several London papers stat
ing that she was looking for a titled
husband for a young American girl who
was worth 100000.
"You would hardly believe it, but
crowds of no good lords, counts and
has beens' generally flock to her. One
who has a few hundred dollars left. He
was given the young woman's address
and wrote her burning love letters. He
received dainty billets doux in return
and all went merry. The nobleman
took his future mother-in-law to din
ners, to the theaters, and entertained
her royalty. Finally he got impatient
and asked to see bis love. The mother
in-law said that they would go to Paris
the next day.
GA few hours before it was time to
leave the hotel the woman discovered
that she was out of funds and must have
draft cashed. The nobleman kindly
offered his assistance, and be bad no
difficulty in getting $500 for the wom-
ans paper. Then she sent him on an
errand, and when be returned there
was no mother-in-law The unwise
Englishman was out $500 paid for the
bogus draft and deal of money for en-
tertaining the swindler.
"She is next heard of in Berlin, where
she defrauded fully half dozen titled
foreigners. If her trade improves she
can retire from active business ere long.
Those whom she catches by this trick
get little sympathy even from the police,
for they are a worthless lot any

The day after the battle of Bull Run

busy at their then unaccustomed work,

Now, Mixes shoes were much the
worse for wear, and the poor fellow
looked long and wistfully at the new
brogans 1t would never do to rob the
dead. and yet he wanted the shoes.
Finally he sat him down, united the
strings with many furtive glance at
dead mans face, pulled off his shoes
and tried them on. They fitted per-
fectly, and Mike sat cycling them re-
gretfully. Suddenly a brilliant idea
flashed into Mixes brain. Why not
swap? 1t was done. The old shoes
took the place of the new, and were
securely tied on the dead mans feet,
and Mike, with long drawn sigh, said
in half apologize manner, ''Them's

Sightseeing Crowds Etnd the Labor Bu-
reau Domiciled There.
Castle Garden has had many vicissi-
tudes in it's career. and when it was
abandoned by the State Board of Emil
grafton Commissioners six months ago
it was generally supposed that its useful
ness IN its present condition was at an
end. But such is not the case. The old
Enclosure which echoed with the trllls
of Jenny Lind's voice, and through
whose portals l 200, 900 immigrants have
entered Uncle Sans domain, has again
been put to use.
The Labor Bureau is domiciled within
its walls. When the park department
obtained control of the Garden, one of
the first things done was the destruc-
had been built outside Of the main
Labor Bureau, and that useful institu-
ton applied to the city for quarters.
Permission was given for the temporary
occupancy Of Castle Garden, and there
it is now.
Thousands of people visit the old
structure daily, and they are not all re-
sidents of the lower wards of the city,
either. They are from all parts of the
city, and there is plentiful sprinkling
of country cousins and tourists. 1t is
sightseeing crowd. They gaze at the
massive old walls of what was once
Castle Clinton, with its portfolios and
embrasures. The immense reconstructed
doors, with the wicket and the old
fashioned lock and hinges, come in for
considerable respectful attention. One
of the big iron spikes from the door has
been removed by some relic hunter, and

carried away.
Every fine Sunday there is a constant
stream of visitors. The solitary custo-
dian of the place said he would not ask
the city to pay him any salary if he
might be permitted to charge an
entrance fee of l cent.
During the week the visitors are
mostly those who are in search Of serv-
ants or farm hands. No charge is made
of either employer or employee. The
Labor Bureau is operated under the
joint auspices of the German and Irish
societies. William Connolly, the super
intendent, has had charge for many
years. The bureau itself antedates
even the old Emigration Commission
under whose care it was recently

German society, and President James
Rorke, of the Irish society, direct the

state, city or national control, and is
purely charitable affair to provide en-
ployment for deserving foreigners, and
to protect them from the sharks who
prowl about the Battery in search of
human prey.
Every applicant for help must satisfy
the superintendent that he Will treat
the immigrants properly and does not
want to fill vacancies made by strikes or
lockouts.
Men are placed in positions where
they will affect the condition of our own
wOrkmen as little as possible. Padrones
in search of slaves, and contractors who
do not deal fairly with their help, are
not countenanced at the Labor Bureau
When Col. Weber moves to the new
immigrant landing station on Ellis
Island, the Labor Bureau has been
promised quarters in the Barge office,
and Castle Garden will soon be trans
formed into an aquarium.

Taffy for Dinner.

Did you ever give a dog taffy? That
is what amuses Broadway loungers and
the noted white bull terrier of the blind
man on the corner. A wag and the dog
and the blind man and the taffy drew a
great crowd the other evening. The
half masticated stuff stuck in the bright
animals jaws, and his fruitless efforts to
bolt it or to get his foot on it or to dis
pose Of it in some way were comical and
caused intense delight among his audi
ence. His dilemma did not prevent
him from Selling all he could get.

attention and he made the usual jump,

Story of the War.

Gen. Sherman related the following
anecdote of his experience in Memphis:
cit was in July. 1862, when we en-
tered Memphis. Before the first of the
troops reached the town, orders had
been issued by the rebel authorities that
every shop, tavern, hotel, theater or
public place should be closed, and we
entered a city as still as the dead. I
sent for the mayor and explained to
him that Memphis was being visited by
American soldiers, his countrymen-
that such a reception was inhos-
pitable and must be changed, and
that he must order and instruct
every house to be opened forthwith
This was complied with to the immedi-
ate satisfaction of everybody. There
appeared, however. at headquarters an
Episc opal clergyman named DR.. White,
who somewhat demurred. I explained
to him that the people OF Memphis
greatly needed Christian enIighten-
ment, and he must promptly open his
church doors and minister to their
wants.
But said Dr. White, do you know
that the ritual of the Episcopal Church
has been changed since the war?
Ono said I; it hasn't that I know
of. How SOP
