A Lovejoy young man started home

discovered until the young man began

OFF THE BATTERY.
Tugs and Ferryboats in a Tangle, and a
Girl in Red who Liked Gum.

Girl in Red who Liked Gum.
A few minutes before noon the other
day tow of twenty-five loaded canal
boats swung briskly around the Battery
from the North river. The column was
formed of four fours and two threes,
and was headed by two big tugs. On
one of the canalboats a girl in vivid
red calico dress and with bare legs
swung in hammock and chewed gum.
There was a strong ebb tide, so when
the big tugs with their unusually long
tow lines had puffed up the East river
almost to the foot of Wall street and
had slowed up, the twenty-five canal
boats bounded back like balls at the end
of rubber cords, lifting the two lines
dripping from the water.
The line of boats wrapped itself snug
ly across the openings of five ferry slips
Five ferryboats wanted to get out and
could not. Five ferryboats-the Bay
Ridge, Staten Island, South Brooklyn,
Hamilton avenue and Atlantic street
wanted to get in and could not. They
all whistled hoarsely, and the passengers
crowded to the sides of the boats to see
what was the matter.
Thousands of people on the ten locked
In and locked out ferryboats saw the
red girl in the hammock, but she swung
and chewed unconcernedly.
The river became dotted with tug
boats which wanted to get in other slips,
or which just puffed up along to see the
row. The biggest of the big tugs at the
head of the tow whistled for assistance,
and six tugs glided up alongside of the
canalboats and made fast Then no.
body seemed to know just what was
wanted and a deafening lot of whistle
signals were sounded.
The captains of the ten ferryboats be
gan making impolite remarks to the
captains of the eight tugs; the deck
hands on the ferryboats became pur-
pie in the face with suppressed emo
tions; the deckhands of the canalboats
drowned the screaming whistles with
strange oaths such as are used to exhort
towpath mules, and thousands of de-
layed passengers were bathed in sympa-
thetlc perspiration, but that bare legged
girl swung on.
The wharves became lined with idlers,
who gave advice. Policemen appeared.
Other ferryboats, lighters, tenders, an
nexes, transports and more tugs came
up. They all whistled. The delayed |
passengers lost their sympathy; the cap
tains ceased to swear for the want of |
breath; the deckhands howled hoarsely,
and when everybody was on the verge
of dissolution the canalboats We're pushed |
up against the wharves where they be- !
longed.
The girl in the red calico gown swung
peacefully and chewed her gum in placid
meditation.-New York Sun.

A Needed Invention,

One of the inventions which, needs to
to be made is checkrein which can be
operated from the vehicle behind without
the trouble of alighting. Many a thirsty
horse is driven past the wayside spring
because his driver is too lazy to get out
and uncheck him, and it is hardly once
in thousand times that the ascent of a
heavy hill is made easy by allowing the
horse the use of the whole of his spine
instead of two-thirds of it--all he has
when closely reined up. The man who
patents a checkrein which can be safely
adjusted from the carriage will make
his fortune and be canonized by the
horses and S. P. G. A.-Kate Fields

SURE.

My thoughts,5o out like spider threads
Cast forth upon the air;
tllmy and fine and floating wide,
Caught by whatever may betide,
To seek thee everywhere.
In league with every breeze that blows,
All ways, all holds they dare;
North, east or south or west they fly,
And sure, though winds be low or high,
To find thee everywhere.
Love still is lord of space and fate;
All roads his runners fare;
All heights that bar, they laughing climb,
They find all days the fitting time,
And highways everywhere.

Great Men and Some Queer Repugnances.
A great deal has recently been said
upon the discomposure of our command
er in chief in Malta at the presence of
a cat. This is no novelty, for some of
the bravest and most distinguished men
the world has ever seen have entertained
a similar antipathy. The Emperor
Ferdinand would bleed at the nose if he
heard a cat new. Henry III of France
and the Duke of Schomberg had similar
weaknesses. This dislike to the gentlest
ana most domestic of animals is unac-
couptable. But there have been much
stronger aversions Erasmus, though
ne hved at Rotterdam, was thrown into

had perfect horror for milk.
Cardan grew sick at the sight of eggs,
however fresh. Uladislaus, king of
Poland, was similarly affected if he saw
an apple. Boyle could not listen 70 the
sound of water running through a pine:
his house was probably unprovided with
the newest improvements. La Mothe

A Miracle.

This has certainly been year of dis,

but for neglect of the marital duties of
support and maintenance, or some
form of mere incompa;ibility of DISPOSE
ton and temperament. More than 65 per
cent of the divorces granted are given on
the appeal of the wife, and the chief cause
is desertion. Marriage is generally entered
into in America from motives of sentiment,
and therefore offenses against marital duty
and fidelity commonly tolerated IN Europe
are not condoned here by the contracting
parties. Our higher standard of matri-
monial requirements rather than loose
conceptions Of the obligations Of marriage
are responsible for our liberal divorce
avs and the readiness with which dis
cordant couples seek the courts for relief
compared with the married of foreign
countries.
Our many divorces are therefore not q
sign OF lower social morals than prevails
in Europe. but are due to our prevalent
more romantic conception OF the obliga-
tons of matrimony and our higher ex-
pecsation of harmony and happiness in
the married state. Young people can
enter into the married state more easily
here than In Europe. and the higher stan.
dard Of marital obligations discourages
conformation OF offenses against its purity
and harmony. The consequence is larger
number Of divorces here than in Europe
where the obstacles 10 marriage are many
and the opportunities for divorce fewer.
Considering the actual, though not legal

is not on our side. In brief. the American
view of divorce is that those whom God
