THE CLEANER
A friend who was in the south with Mrp,
Eal'ord the greater part Of the Winter told me
that as her health declined sne begged to be

Halford was with her mother constantly, She
is an amiable, stylish girl, but not remarkably
pretty.
During these beautiful days / often meet
small troops Of young girls driving through
the Park. under the chaperonage OF q nne
mustachoied fellow, very erect, with splendid
seat and great haughtiness of expression. He
Is a riding master, may be a Count and Is
teaching the girls how to get along on horse.

had rolled in luxury, whose associates were
among the most prominent men In this city,
stood common criminal whose life had Deen
passed among the most vicious, and who had
never known more comforts than those found
in q Bowery lodRing-house and a bcanery.
Ward had evidently got of joke, for he
slapped his fellow-convlct on the back and

prominent men of both parties who regard his
experience and study OF the subject as having
peculiarly fitted him for tue general manage

happen, however, that a politician was given
the place. Warden Brush would be expected
to resume his old position at Sing sing. The
Warden himself has not made any plans, he
