GRUB STREET GONE.
A Literary Monument That Is Now No
More.

The Author.
Another literary monument Is gone.
Those who knew Grub street-now Milton
street-wll remember quaint little square
which stood on its western side. 1t was
poor kind OF square, writes Mr.. Besant,
standing round paved court; vehicles
except the coster's barrow-could not enter
there. The houses were small and mean,
yet they had the eighteenth-century air.
The rest Of the street was built up with
vast warehouses. This alone remained of
the glorious past. Into this corner had been
driven the real associations Of Grub street.
Oae knew every room In every house. In
this starved Boyes; in this, Otway. Here
two translators occupied one room and
shared one bed, one blanket and one shirt.
johnson knew this square. Goldsmith
oft en- came here when he had any money to
give 1t away among his poorer brothers.
Very few Of them went about the streets in
complete absence of anxiety concerning the
Sheriff's man and the Compter Sunday
was day Of relief. Hero Smollett made
the acquaintance of my Lord Potatoe. The
square was fragrant with the memories OF
the starveiing bards. Sham travellers
abounded here who had never been beyond
Greenwich. Greek scholars who knew
not the alphabet, essayists on polite society
who never advanced beyond sixpenny
ordinary. But now the square is gone and a
great warehouse stands upon the spot.
Grub street Is, indeed, no more.

mr.. STUBBS GETS EXCITED.
Grain Rates on the Central
Pacific Are Raised.
The Clippsr.Ship Business Steadily Growing,
and the Great Salt Lake Road Scheme
Is Nearly Perfected.

]. C. Stubs, the Southern Pacific Com
pany's general freight agent. returned from
his recent memorable trip to New York a
few days ago, and he apparently did not
lose any time in letting San Francisco mer-
chants know that he Is angry.
Mr.. Stubs feathers are very much
ruffled because the other railroad companies
told the Southern Pacific in plain language
that they did not care to be dictated to by
Mr. Huntington any longer.
This happened in New York when the
Transcontinental Association met two
weeks ago.
What happened since is that Stubs is
sued circular Immediately after his ar
rival here notifying all shippers that after
the 10Th inst. the freight rates on grain from
Corinne, Utah, to Port Costa and South
Vallejo will be 81 80 per ton, and from
Corinne to Oakland wharf and San Fran
cisco IS per ton.
The present rate is So per ton, and no one
except Mr. Stubs or MIR. Huntington can
tell why this arbitrary raise has been de-
cided upon.
1t might be move toward forcing the
grain shipping eastward from Utah Instead
of westward. and If so it is certainly cacu-
lated to injure San Francisco.
But why Mr.. Stubs, who so earnestly
professes to have 10 dearer object in his
heart than the welfare of this city, should
deliberately devise plans to injure one OF
San Fraucisco's greatest commercial in
dustries car be laid only 10 the fact that he
is wrathy and wants to give his angry feel
| iDgs vent.
II so there is a likelihood of good many
more rate-raising circulars in the near fu-
| ture, because the present outlook is that
| lots of things are going TO happen soon
| which will increase Mr.. Stubs anger.
Traffic Manager Leeds is keeping very
| quiet just now. He smiles contentedly
when interviewed on the leading railroad
| questions of the day, and says that the Traf.
| fc Association has every reason to be salts
| fed with the situation.
The clpper-ship business is steadily grow
| ing, and the merchants are becoming more
| interested in il from day to day.
The Salt Lake Railroad, Of which very
| little is being said just now, is in very
| fair way TO come before the public shortly
! in shape so complete that 1t will surprise
its most sanguine supporters.
The Railroad Commission will meet to-
morrow morning, and another scene of the
| great Shveley complaint farce will be en-
| acted on that occasion.

Love-Making In the Air.

H0neymoons begun in balloons have been
by no means uncommon in France, as many
persons who read lately about the ascent
made by a Belgian aeronaut and his bride
would be inclined to suppose. A celebrated
French authority Oh meteorology, who is
also popular writer on the wonders of the
starry world, passed the first night of his
welded life with his wife in an aerostat
ever so many miles high 1t is on record
that the famous Saint Simon, when vainly

This is an old story for which It is posi-
BILE that present application may be found /:
A certain monk who was making journey
from the city where he lived met formid-
able-looking parsonage on the road and the
two stopped to rest and to talk. The for
Misunderstanding parsonage told the monk
that he was the plague, that he was on his
way to the city and that while there he was
minded TO kill 10000 persons.
The monk pleaded for the lives of his
townsmen anu with such eloquence that his
grim companion was moved and promised
that he would kill only 10000. While the
monk was yet away from home news came
to him that plague had fallen upon the
city and that 10000 persons had died. AS
he was making his journey back to the city
he met his former acquaintance leaving it.
and upbraided him for breaking his word.
II kept my word 10 you faithfully" the
other replied. II killed only 10000; fear

Customs of Iceland and Lapland.

In a country not far from where ''the
two spirits Of the globe, the magnetic
and the electric" according to Michelet,
do nightly hold carnival in the polar
circle, the poor Icelanders are allowed
as a rare treat to have bread to eat with
their Christmas mutton and milk por-
ridge.
In southern Lapland, should the house
holder neglect to provide an ample store
of fuel for the seasons needs, in popular
belief, the disguised yule SWANS or
Christmas COLLINS will so befoul the
woodpile that there shall be no gettinG
at its contents.
There also it is that the girl VIZ
wishes, nuptially speaking, to learn her
fate places a table in the center of q
vacant chamber, and on it two glasses
the one Of water, the other of brandy.
Then, taking a broom, she must sweep
the room three times carefully, against
the SUN, and if she is to enter the mar
ried state her future husband will APP
pear before she completes the third
round, and drink from the water glass
if 6 sober man, or from the brandy tum-
bier if he be drunkard.
Again. if Laplander at Christmas,
before retiring, pulls off his boots and
fings them over his left shoulder, he
shall know, from the shoes pointing to-
ward the door, whether long journey
or death shall be his portion during the
new year, but if on the other hand the
boot toes turn inward he can feel as
sured Of another twelve months lease of
