pouring rain / came upon eleven present
day gypsies, six men and women and five
children, whose home was q small rcketv
donkey cart tied together with pieces of
cord, and small sheet full Of holes, under
which they crept at night.
ION the preceding Saturday night these
gypsies were under this one rotten sheet for
the night by the roadside near Weldon. A
policeman told them to move on as on the
following Sunday people would be going to
church, and they would he an eyesore to all
these good people. Driving the gypsies

means of the sanitary officers influence

It is difficult to see how the Rochester
nurseries have gainet such wOrl divide rep
utations, but as mighty oaks from little
acorns grow" so, doubtless, th-ir stock has
proved so hardy that upon transplanting il
has worked wonders. Compared with Cali
fornia nurseries, the trees or shrubs or
flowers are slow of growth and small, al
though remarkably clean and healthy.
OF one thing, Rochester people are NOR
dlnateiy proud, and that is Powers Art
Gallery. 1t Is in tie largest, finest and one
of tie talest bulldogs in the city, nins
stories high, surmnunted by tower, and is
on the very spot built upon by its generous
owner more than a half century ago. The
old name, Four Corners, still fingers. aud
the building is really landmark in the
city. Il is said 20 be the finest and largest
gallery of paintings in the United States.
The arrangement OF the gallery is unusual.
More than thirty rooms, all spacious
and well lighted, are fitted ND with
prodigal luxury, thick velvet carpets or
Turkish rugs, magnificent partiere5 of silk
or velvet OF lace, massive mirrors, or hang
ings OF velvet, tables on which are rare
vases of japanese work, and in these rooms
a thousand works of art. There are no
bronzes and bat about Two dCZen marbles.
There are nearly seventv-fve water-co!ors
many OF them of high order Of merit.
Eight hundred canvasSes are oil. $50 of
which are old, either original or copies
Titan, Naadyck, Guido ReHi, Vernet and
dozen others less known; tie copies in
many cases are so well done. or So poorly
marked, that il is impossible to tell the
originals from the copies. The same is trus
too of tile modern canvase>. although the
majority are genuine. One finds, however,
tie well-known signatures Of Gerome,
Munkacsy, Rosa Bonheur, or the Nelson
lers or Millet 10 many exquisite canyases.
In one room is the famous $4,000 Stewart
clock, and in the same room is an exact
copy of the Mary Morgan $4,000 vase, a
very ordinary looking article indeed.

you see a street for block or so
fenced in at either end. with fOOtpaths
only, and the whole ground between the
handsome homes laid out in a park. Here,
as in Chicago, and in fact the same thing is
seen in almost every town or city this side
of Chicago, the absence of fences is particu-
larry noticeable. For miles sometimes the
houses stand back equdistant from the
street; every one with ample elbow-room
and clean, well-kept lawns. There is. too.
most delightful variety in the style Of ar
chitecture, although every house has It's
ample veranda with tables. chairs, rugs.
sewing baskets, awnings and potted plants,
and here the family sit and chat or sew, or
read. spending every moment OF daylight
out of doors through the short, warm
summer.
The publIc-school system, as elsewhere
in New York State, is good, although its
school buildings, as rule, have very little
more claim TO architectural beauty than
those of San Francisco. Many of its higher
schools or perhaps, properly speaking, High
schools, are called colleges, academies or
universities, which is somewhat confusing
There are many big department stores,
as in Chicago, and the service within re-
minds one much Of San Francsco's best
stores. There are no floor walkers, how
ever, they are perhaps unnecessary, as there
is no such rushing and hurrylng or crowd
ing of stores, for everybody seems to go
about their purchasing with tho calmeSt and
most matter of fact air. 1t is well, for
there are no ice-cIeam soda parlors for the
rushed, toil-worn shopper to rest and re-
fresh in.
Chinesei Less than a score are In this
city, laundrying.
Warmers Observatory. which is known
the world over, lies on East avenue, one of
the finest in the city. Its fame is world
wide and it needs but passing comment.
1t is of rough gray sandstone, and from one
side OF the quaint, homelike structure the
dome rises far overhead.

The Shadow of a Great Name.

Once upon time-twenty years ago or
mOre-there was a person named Mast. He
was an artist-a good artist many said a
great artist, some. In those days, likewise.
there was Tiger, and this artist discuv-
cred that Tiger. and he fought the beast
till, as Cromwell remarks It's stomach came
down; and he helped to pull or pare its
cruel claws and to clip short its truculent
tail; and once week for many months all

NastP' Who could help laughing at his full
blown, audacous Tweed, with the eyes like
carbuncles, the pin like a fiery Kohinoor
at his bristling bully, Peter B.; his STALL

an Oakley with the luimitable eyeglasses {?

body laughed-except Tammany.
If any brave had slouched down the steps
of the Wigwam and had said in those DAYS

up nights to turn out stuff that we can laugh

It's bad enough to be driven to stand in
the shadow OF a great name, but surely, if
one had the choice the last name a ma n

dignity OF his office did not carry with it a
sort of inspiration, enabling him to endure
these annoyances.
Sometimes that may be the case" re-
piled the President, "wlen the matters with
Which have TO deal are great But there
is no inspiration in petty things. The
American people are kind-they are very
kind--charitable and good natured-but
they do not always consider the difficult
ties. The only thng,t be done is TO meet
them as best one can. When was going
through the campaign two years ago, and
came in after hard days work, tired and
heated and sweating; and took bath and
put on a fresh shirt, and sat down to rest
after it ALL would be told that there was
some one to see me; and in would come
some old fellow, kind and simple and
hearty. who didn't want to take up my
time, or to annoy me. or to ask for any
thing, but just to thank me and wish ME
godspeed and happiness. And then l
would think, whatever comes of it must
meet these people and receive what they
bring in the spirit they bring tiff it kills
me, must do it!'
Mr.. Harrison is, believe, at present en-
gagged in framing his Message. l don't sup
pose he will allude in it to this matter; so
l will do what | can to compensate him for
the half hour 1 spent with him, by publish
ing this little narrative. Possibly it may
come under the eye of some honest eector
in some part of the country who had been
contemplating visit to Washington to see
the Capitol and the monument, and to take
the President by the hand. Ii the reading
OF what Is here written shall induce him to
reconsider the last part at least of this pro-
gramme, it will be SO much the better for all

PLATCSIC FRIENDSHIP.

Marble alden, fashioned in wise Plato's school,
Sculptured fair, with wonderous classic art,
Crowned with myrtle and with bay leaves,
Yet she had a human heart.
She was but scholar du'l in that great school,
Though at first She Rrasped the pure IDEAL"
Beauty, wisdom in her teacher
Ever to her seemed real
One small marble hand in friendship she exteuded q
While the other pressed her throbbing heart;
Nature taught her loves sweet lesson,
Plato only classic art. GRACE hIBBARp
