RUSSIAN JEW.

RUSSIAN JEW. PORTUGUESE.
The peasant women OF Alsace, with the
distinctive headdress OF which they are
all proud, are seen only once In long
time among tho untidy hordes that crowd
into the land OF opportunity. The Alsa-
tians are not a migratory people. They
are permeated with the home-loving. pa
triotic instincts OF the French nature, and
will not leave their native villages unless
they are absolutely sure OF lettering
their condition. The headdress Of tho Al.
satan woman is made OF black silk.
Anybody who has passed through the
populous Jewish quarter on the east side
OF New York has probably seen the type
outlined herewith. The tall conical hat OF
the gray bearded old man on the left was
made of wool. He came from cold dis
trict, and often saved his ears and nose
from frost bite by pulling his hat down
over them so far that his head looked as IL
II we're all beard.
No class OF immigrants are handsomer
or more picturesque than the Portuguese.
They usually arrive In the spring, carry
ing gayly beribboned guitars and very
little hand baggage. They wear light,
brightly colored clothes. The hat OF the
man In the picture was not, as might be
conjectured at first sight. OF the kind
popular in the French revolution. It was
circled with stripes OF red, blue. and yell
low, and was much too gaudy even for the
seml-tropical taste OF some Of its wearers
companions. He probably put II away In
his trunk for use In tho house as a smok-
ing cap when he got to Fall River the day
after he landed ut the Barge Office His
wife wore as a headdress a gauzy, olive
tinted shawl. All the Portuguese seem to
be dreamy, indolent, and happy.

The Gorgeous Theater.


1t is much to be desired that actors
should be duly protected against the la-
ches of unscrupulous employers, and
against the periis of insanitary dressing
rooms and of Demonstrated theaters;
complaints on such matters are, unfortu-
nately, only too well founded. There are,
especially in the smaller provincial towns,
numberless adventurers, theatrical mana
gers-Heaven save the mark,-whose capi-
tai consists of a limited stock of picture
posters, probably obtained on credit, and
an unlimited stock of innate effrontery.
Small as are the salaries they covenant to
pay their actors, they seldom disburse
them in full, while an ingenious system of
proclaiming the end of season in one
town, and inviting applications for re-en-
gagement in the next, enables them to sad
die their unhappy company with the cost
of any unusually expensive railway jour
ney.
Again, those who only play the part of
audiences in our thesters little know how
apt is sanitary and architectural reform to
stop short on their side of the footlights
There are theaters, gorgeous as to their
foyers and corridors with gliding and cleo
tric lights, whose sanitary arrangements
behind the scenes would disgrace a hoyel,
whose stages communicate with the street
by passages so tortuous that a strangers s
chances of threading the labyrinth amid
fire and smoke would be Neli-nigh hope
less The bogus manager and the insani-
tary theater are certainly ills which cry
aloud for remedy.

Two Women and Three Bears.

lot 1t runs up over the top Of small
hill Just off the Lubec road and extends

mile from the swamp, fully half mile
away from the street. Saturday night
these COWS did not come up to the bars as
usual, and after waiting reasonable time
Mrs. Thomas Parkerson and Mrs. Elbridge
Ackley put on their rubbers and started

too, and both women went to q pile of
cordwood close by and both procured two
stout round birch sticks about four feet
long. The subsequent battle was short,
but very exciting. The old bear was lean
and weak. Two times she moved up and
showed fight, but, failing to break through
the waving wall of clubs, got down on all
fours and beat a hasty and ignominious
retreat, followed by her two young cubs.
One of these little bearlets was very weak,
and could not run nearly SO fast as the
other, so in the course of ten or fifteen
minutes the old mother bear and the
stronger cub were out of sight, leaving
the poor weak one to the tender mercies Of

Driven by n Corpse.

Cabman Thomas Gilbert died on his box
last night while driving passenger to the
West Side Union depot After the Chica-
go Opera House was built Gilbert made
his stand at the southwest corner of Clark
and Washington streets. He was there at
eight O'Clock last night, when a man
stepped into his cab and said: ''Driye me
in hurry to the West Side Union depot. {"
Gilbert climbed on the box, and, gathering
up the lines, swung his horse into Wash
ington street and headed west. A crowd
of people was sergipg into the Chicago
Opera House when the cab ratified by.
Some one noticed Gilbert's head droop and
then fall over on his breast. The whip
fell from his hand and he clutched at the
iron rod of the box.
"That claimants dying" said the man
who had noticed Gilbert's action. He fol-
lowed the cab. Three or four others fol-
lowed him. The horse trotted along
Washington street and stopped for a mo-
ment at La Sale to let Milwaukee avenue
cable train pass by. At Fifth avenue the
men who had followed the cab from the
Chicago Opera House overlook it, and one
of them grabbed the bits. The occupant
of the cab leaped out and demanded what
right the stranger had to stop the horse.
81 have only ten minutes to make my
train" he said, excitedly, ''and 1 paid this
cabman in advance to haul me to the Un-
ion depot"
"You will never reach the Union depot
with this driver" said the man who
stopped the horse. 'Look up there and
you will see that you are being driven by
a corpse" Two men climbed on top OF
tho vehicle and lifted the driver off. He
was dead. His fingers were twined around
the iron rod of the seat.

o. B. Frothingham's first call was to an
old conservative parish in Salem, Mass,
and his experiences in the quaint old city
have furnished matter for a delightful
chapter Salem is, as Hawthorne long ago
informed us, the one town in New England
which haunts the imagination. Its COM
mercial associations with the far east were
in strange contrast with its Puritan tradi-
tions. There was poetry, as Mrs. Arlo
Bates has pointed out, in the very names
of the vessels, the ship "Lotus, 'the "Black
Warrior" the brig PERSIA" the ''Three
Friends" and the ''Grand Turk" There
was charm, too, about the cargoes. There
were no commonplace bales of merchan-
disc, but in their very names suggestive of
the sweet, strange odors of the east, from
which they came. There was stimulous to
the fancy in the mere enumeration of the
ship loads of gum copal from the Madagas-
car and from Zanzibar; ;of cotton from Bonn
bay; of ginger, pepper. coffee and sugar
from Malabar, the Golden Chersonese, and
utmost Indian isle, Taprobane; of tea, silks,
ports of the Levant. Mr.. rockingham
quotes with keen appreciation from Mrs.
Bates account of the artistic spoils gar
| nered by the Salem mariners from the fur
thest corners of the earth. We are told of
| gorgeous fans, carved ivory, blue canton
china, gorgeous teacups, superb tureen,
ponderous tankards, delft jars and ancient
candlesticks, massive punch bowls and
| strange beads, suggestive of Hindoo rites,
| of Nautch dances and of women with
| dusky throats. Thus the very atmosphere
was redolent of adventure and romance.
| We read of cashmere shawls hanging on
| clothes lines, of jars brimming with old
silver coins, of gilded fishes pendent on the
sides of staircases, of huge logs of sandal
wood. 1t seems that in the museum of the

The Road Agents.

lrTOul SAu Nali
Tom Fitch. Ex-Governor Zulick and
Judge Fitzgerald met yesterday in the cor
ridor of the Palace hotel, and renewed an
acquaintance that was begun when all three
were prominent in the politics of Arizonia.
When Fitch located at Prescott in the
practice of the law the northern and CEN
trail portions of the territory were overrun
by rowing bands of desperadoes. chief
among them whom were a large number of
road agents, who infested the stage lines
and preyed upon the passengers. From
time to time they were apprehended and
brought up for trial. and Fitch was almost
invariably retained for the defense. In
nearly every instance he succeeded in clear
ing them, and in their eyes soon grew to
be quite hero. 1t CHANGED that in the fall
of 81 an Englishman dropped into Pres
colt on his way to Phoenix and while lin
gering in the former place made the ac-
quaintance of Fitch, with whom he was
soon upon the most friendly terms. Be
fore leaving by stage for his destination
stories of the exploits of the road agents
reached his ears, and, becoming alarmed,
he broached the subject to Fitch in CONVEX
sation.
pretty bad customers. just at this time, I"
said the latter with great earnestness, ''but
l will give you safe conduct to Phoenix in
the shape of a written pass"
The Englishman jumped at the idea and
half in jest the pass was given. On the
following day the bearer of the safe con-
duct took his seat in the southbound coach,
and when Black Canon was reached FIVE
masked men stepped into the road and
with cooked Winchesters ordered the dri-
yer to stop. No time was lost in refining
in the horses, and the passengers were or
dered to alight. With hands up they were
| compelled TO stand in a row and be searched,
| their valuablas being taken from them in
| Discriminatory. When the Englishmen
was reached he said to the man who was
| relieving the passengers: 81 say, old fellow
l ave in my pocket, you know, pass from
Mr.. Fitch"
"The-you have" calculated the road
agent. Where is it:n
THE tourists hands started in the direct
ion of his pocket, but were stopped mid
way by injunction to keep them aloft.
''Now keep your mouth shut, he was
told bluntly, land just motion with your
head the whereabouts of that pass, or I'll
blow you into kingdom Gomez
Thoroughly frightened, he indicated the
left hand pocket of his coat and the pass
was dragged to light. Glancing at it to
assure himself that the signature was gen.
| uine, the robber roughly ordered the bear
er to stand aside, and informed him that
if he would make no demonstration he
would not be molested. He obeyed with
| alacrity, and not cent was taken from
him. After emptying the mail bag and
express box, and taking everything of value
from the other passengers, the robbers
loaded them all into the stage and ordered
the driver to hurry on TO the next town.
When they reached Phoenix the English
man was the only individual on the stage
who had a cent of money or an article of
jewelry left upon his person.

Too Faithful Imitation.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch. ]


The boys in rural school in this county
got into the habit of rushing into the room
in boisterous, unseemly fashion, to the
great annoyance of the teacher, who was of
highly nervous temperament Finally
one morning when the boys had been exas-
peratingly noisy on their entrance, the teach
er raped for silence, and read them lecture
of manners. To impress them the more
he offered to show them how decent boy
should come into school, and walked from
the door to his desk in slow, solemn style
as a sample. This would have had better
effect had not the teacher had club foot,
which he dragged after him with consider
able awkwardness. But still nobody
laughed when the teacher concluded by de
string them to enter school Just as he had
the next day.
The boys were unusually punctual next
morning; not one was late. They gathered
before the school door, and after the teach
er had entered went in in a body. The
first boy was the most unruly boy in school,
the leader in all mischief The others fol
lowed in single file, and in this order they
marched around the room, every boy drag
ging his left foot exactly as the pedagogue
was wont to do. The imitation was toe
faithful. The object of it decide it was
not fiattery
