Michael Dayitt Comes.

Michael Davitt, who arrived in New York
early in the week from Queenstown, is one
of the best beloved and most bitterly hated
If lrishmen. He has been in prison for the
cause of Ireland, which he holds dear, no is
not = trong in health and has suffered terri
bly, from the grip, and is naturally discour
aged by the present slip in the Irish party.

Davitt in London, besides calling at his love

A WOman'S House.

The most interesting and magnificent of
the newer houses of New York will un-
doubtedly be the fine Italian palace being
erected on Fifth avenue by Mr.. and Mrs. C.
r. Huntington, or rather by Mrs. and Mr..
Huntington, the former as active director,
the latter in the very important role of the
payer of the bills. The house, with its cool
and regular exterior, its air of restraint and
solidity, is in rather refreshing contrast to
some of the more renZied productions of
recent years. Mrs. Huntington, who has
very good taste in such matters, is practi-
cally the Responsible director of the
whole enterprise. She it il whom

will be the finest in America. And to the
house Mrs. Huntington will bring a con
siderable store of art treasures picked up in
her wanderings and now certain to have the
richest of settings for their beauty.

The Lumber Fires Ont West,

Twenty years or 30 ago some very good
friends of mine were burned up in the aw-
full forest fire which swept over Peshtigo,
Wis, a fire far more appalling in it's loss of
life, though perhaps not more destructive
of property. than those from which Michi-
gan has just suffered. ! remember that the
theory was advanced at that timo that the
awful fate of the PeshtiRoers WAS a punish
ment for the sin of Sabbath breaking, and
the cousin of my burned friends announced
that theory to me with some satisfaction.
1t seemed to soothe him to discover some
reason for the calamity.
But wereJ-and H-Sabbath breakers?'
l asked him.
mo, but lots of folks around there were,
he answered.
"'Well, then" said IL was twenty years
younger than now and had not learned the
exceeding folly of argument--'why were
they, who hadn't broken the Sabbath burn
ed up, while so many people out here break
it fifty-two times a year and are none the
worse for itY'
He never answered the question.

A Fortune in Shoe Ties.

A big shoe merchant tells me that two
years ago a man came into his Office in the
last stages of a drunkard's decline, appar-
entity, and exhibited an invention which
would revolutionize mems shoe taste ings,
and make a fortune for some one. 1t was
some sort of an arrangement which closed
all the buttons at once by the turn of nm
invisible lever. and was as much OF an i'm
provement on the old method as the lever
skate is upon the old-fashioned kind. That
was the first and last the merchant ever
saw of man or model, and he IS wondering
now if the inventors secret went into a
grave in Potter's lield. He cannot in the
least recall the manner of working of the
fastening. OWEN LANGDoN.

elect to remain here he would find that
America is the greater Ireland, and that he

Those who nave read of Mr.. D.yitt's
prowess with the blackthorn at Kilkenny
mustn't judge him to be a bruiser. Imagine.
instead, a man tall and Of shapely frame,
but slight, erect Of posture, with one empty
sleeve. with dark hair grizzled somewhat by
advancing years, all in feature not unlike
what Christopher Columbus would have
been if he had been born in Ireland; and in
manner kindly and courteous.

in the Strand one dav Mr.. Stead approached
our table, and the contrast was interesting
between the red-bearded Englishman, with
his brusque, ~incisive speech, and the dark
Celt, who might easily have passed for an
American. Mr.. Davitt was then just on the
point of starting the Labor World, an en-
terprise which has not made his fortune, l

Poet and Philosopher.

Almost every one who has Knocked
about own much last winter and this
spring must have noticed walking about
together two men as dissimilar as they were
in their several ways peculiar. One was
tall and finely built, with bronzed face,
curly flowing hair and Il somewhat leonine
expression, rather seedy in apparel, but
with a grand air despite it all. The other
was a wee little man with Il face like u
wrinkled russell apple and sharp, ferret
like eyes. whose coat, two sizes too large,
generally tapped back to show an old
fashioned figured waistcoa at and choker.
The large man was George Francis Train,
psychic philosopher, poet and traveller; the
smaller Bloodsood H.. Cutter. III first be-
came known to fame as Mark Twain's poet
%lariat' when the innocents sailed abroad.
Mr.. Gu tier left his Long Island farm last
fall to spend the winter in New York, and
found Mr.. Train Il congenial associate. 1t
would be hard to find two men MOTE eccen-
trio. Mr.. Cutters poetry is always unexcep-
tionable in sentiment, but usually MANNED
in it's feet. Mr.. Trains philoso-
ply il magnificent in expression,
but frequently wide of fact. Mr..
or and capitalist, MIR. Train has had n big
fortune and has proved himself in the past
a 81 rewd enough man of business. as when
he introduced tram cars into London. In
late years he has lost much of his property,
and has once been a%diudged n %lunatic,
though few men appear less like it. Som
OF his property IN Omaha was once sold for
non payment of taxes, and it is said that
he will attempt to have the sale set aside on
the ground that notice given to a crazy
man doesn't count in the law.
There IL a vein of cheerful humOr about
the psychic philosopher; and also about the
farmer poet. The latter was a guest of the
Authors club at one of its winter gatherings
and convulsed the authors by reciting one
of his poems with much gesticulation.

iSpecial Correspondence Of The INDEPENDENT.
New York, May 20.-The most astute
leader of the Cleveland forces in New York
is Mr.. William II. Grace, ex-mayor Of the
city and a great power in South American
trade and finance. In Peru Grace takes
pot luck with the government and gets the
biggest share Of the stew. In Chilli he IL
called the b9cker of one party in the civil
war, while Charles Il. Flint & Go. support
the other in a test Of rival traders. In Han
ovor Square, the centre of his far-reaching
enterprises, he is a brisk. wide~awake
man, affable in amer whose keen,
twinkling eyes peer out at q vis-a-vis
through spectacles As hs positively assures
oLe that he is out of politics. Yet 1t Is not
probable that Mr.. Grace will ever really be
out of politics 80 long as he has greater
personal strength with the Tammany rank
and file than any other leader outside OF
that organization, and SO long as he hates
it and its methods SO thoroughly. He is
used to receiving hard raps. Probably no
one has been better abused by the opposing
~factionists.
It is not so very long q that . rather
rough citizen was applying for a saloon
license in Great Neck, where Mr.. Grace
has his summer home, and Mr.. Grace was
one of 4 number of professionals. The ap-
plicant went to ask the cause of his objeo-
tions.
"Well," said Mr.. Grace, in reply, beam
ing upon his questioner through his benign
spectacles, II have heard a great many bad
stories about you Mr.. 4. Your reputa-
tim in MT Whit IL should ba.H
AS for that said the applicant. with
ready wit. you probably haven't heard half
RS many hard things said against me as l
have heard against you"
Some of Mr.. Grace's latest political man
ceuvres, such as the union with the repub-
licans last fall on local issues, have turned
out rather badly, but he is ms much alive as
was another opponent of Tammanv many
years ago when
Witt Clinton arose and baff'ed his foes.

A Cav and Festive Editor.

Since his coming east Murat Halstead has
become a confirmed diner out. should
Judge that he must make on an average two
after dinner speeches a week in addition to
attending silently upon at least as many
b%anauets. A perpetual round of big public
dinners is perhaps as hard upon a man as
n other experience he can encounter and
some of Mr.. Halstead's friends are wonder
ing how long his health, never very strong
since his attack at a clubhouse a year or SO
ago, will bear the strain, added TO the labor
of writing an enormous amount of matter
for his paper daily and considerable maya
zine work.
Mr.. Halstead is in appearance the ideal
field marshal, and fills the eye satisfactorily
on public occasions. 1t was he who, when
Secretary Window lay dying in a small side
room at the last board of trade dinner,
stood at the door answering the inqu tries
of. reporters and others, while the doctors
labored over the pro ,tarted man, and a very
dignifed body guard he made with his fine,
erect figure and gray imperial.

An Artists Environment.

Mr.. J. G. Thorn, whose water colors were
sold at auction recently, is an artist who
has been noted for fifteen years fer the
possession Of on extremely long head we'll
filled with grav matter. 1t happened in
this way:
When the art exhibition for the centen-
NAL of 1876 was decided upon and artists
were invited to send pictures, MIR. Thorn
did better. He went to Philadelphia and
gained admission to the unfinished gallery
where he wished to study the en-
%vironment Of his work. While there
he noticed two spaces. one on either
side of a big entrance door. which were
so high and narrow that it would be pretty
hard work to find pictures to fit them.
These spaces he carefully measured, and
going home went at once to work to paint
pictures Of that shape. When the pictures
arrived their mechanical fitness befriended
them as we'll as their intrinsic excellence,
and they were well hung. while the
names of the rejected were legion.
Art has made some advances in this coun-
try since 1876, but nobody has yet arisen
earlier in the morning than Mr.. Thorn did
on that occasion.
