The fast young man who journeys
to New York as the shades of evening
fall, and lays for mashes = ON the
ferryboat, had better be very care
full There are hawks abroad. A case
which came up in New York police
court yesterday shows that the fast
young man may meet in his voyages
acr oss the darkling stream-aheni-
with perils that he wots not Of.
Edward Davock, young gasitter
from New York, was working in Jer-
sey City last Monday. On his way
home he met on the ferryboat a dam
sell Of fascinating manners and appear
ance, who announced that she was on
her way to the wicked Metropolis ito
see the sights" Davock agreed to ac-
company her, and took her to the
shop where he worked, and where he
proposed to leave his tools before
starting out for the inspection of the
elephant.
When they came out. the fascinat-
ing young woman made charge
against Davcock which reflected seri-
ously on his morals, and caused his
arrest. Yesterday he was up before
Justice Diver at the Tombs for a
hearing on the charge. Detective
Flynn noticed that while on the
stand the woman attempted to slip
note into Davoclx's hand. He
promptly intercepted it a nd handed
it to the Justice. who read it and
found it to be Matchmaking letter,
in which she told him she would send
him to prison for ten years if he did
not pay her $e5 or $50. The Justice
at once discharged the case and gave
the woman a good lecture.
Now we admire the dogberryism of
this precious Tammany Scion, who
turned the woman free to prey on
other young fools. How many vic
Tins has she had in the past, and how
many more will she gather in before
her career is ended in striped
garments2 Let us hope that
her next appearance will be
before Jersey City police
Justice, who will not waste any lee
lures on her, but will start her on the
road to Trenton, where all such
harpies belong. Meanwhile, perhaps,
the example of Mr.. Davock and his
narrow escape viii cause some giddy
youths to reflect when they are in
clined to be foolish and vicious.

The EUenipg Journal has much
to answer for In the way of evil ex-
ample. but we have seen nothing in
its columns SO deliberately pervert-
ing as this paragraph which it pub
lished yesterday
The "bIonde widow Is a new drink served
just now at ladies' luncheons. 1t Is made of sew
eral sweet liquors or cordials combined, In which
are put blackberries to float about. and is
The ladies' who have tried it say it Is delicious
The blackberries are eaten to kill the smell of
the cordials on the breath, as fresh fruits are
gaid TO do this.
We have no doubt that this is a
very seductive beverage-much more
SO than Passaic water But is it not
likely to put an inexperienced young
woman's head in the swim? THE
News is quite willing to admit, with
out knowing anything about it, that
the Majors experience has enabled
him to compound an elixir that will
knock vinegar bitters and all similar
exhilarants out in one, two, three
order. If not, what is experience
good for2 We viii admit. also, that
the Major knows what will best
disguise the breath, whether it be
black berries, huckleberries or persim-
mons. The latter, taken green, may
be relied upon to take ones breath
away altogether; still, if the Major
prefers blackberries-or blackberry
cordial--he is perfectly welcome.
But why should a newspaper which
pretends to advocate abstemiousness
50 strenuously-or indeed, any news
paper at all, thus deliberately lay
Temptation to intemperanee--that
form OF tipping which seeks hypo-
critical disguises-in the way of the
women OF the community. 1t seems
to us an act OF depravity, no matter
what source it emanates from, and its
wiclxedness is all the more indecent in
q paper which is the organ of cold
water whenever it is favored with a
sufficient infusion Of greenbacks.
But why call the beverage a
blonde widow Why not bl onde
bachelor, If IL be intended for femi-
nine consumption. Besides what does
OK shouid) the Major know about
widows Of any complexion?
Take WeIIer's advice to his son
.Eainivel, Major, and beware Of the
vidders and especially blonde wild
\ 0ws The bleaehed blonde is reputed
