Your New Yorker is witty individ-
ual. His sense of humor is as broad and
rollicking as his conversation is keen
and crisp. He may be small boy in
frayed knickerbockers crying ''wuxtra"
on the street; fakir on Broadway sell
ing patent collar buttons or broker on
'changAthe same Attic salt and laconic
brevity favor his remarks, tempered
with a sense Of humor that robs his
sharpest thrust Of half its sting.
Here. young man." said Russell Sage
one day, as he held out a nickel to a
fakir who had dropped his box of tin
watches on the stone coping of the Trim
ity churchyard fence and lodged, at the
risk of life and limb, after the old man is
hat, which had blown half way across
the street. The fakir knew the multi
millionaire, but had evidently not reck-
oned on the thrift which helped win the
millions.
THANK ye, Mister Sage" he said, as
the size of the reward dawned upon him

The two gangs of negroes from the
southwest who have been stranded in
this city within the past few days have
displayed traits that are pleasing, and
that have stirred up popular sympathy
for them. Though they found. when
they got here, that they could not get tc
Liberia, in Africa, by a ferryboat or a
horse car for ten cents: though they
and their pickaninnies were hungry
homeless and helpless in strange city
though they did not know what to do OF
where to look for anything, it is inter.
esting to learn that they did not whine
or howl, or threaten to raise a rumpus
or to play havoc with most things. OF
even to let loose the dogs of war.
They stood out near the dock in the
cold patiently; they held dialogue about
the unknown; they were overjoyed when
a policeman gave them advice; they
blessed the good Lord when they got
shinbone soup for nothing: they grew
merry and sang the old melodies Of the
plantation when they were offered a free
place to sleep in, and they laughed,
prayed, grew humorous and exhorted
each other because things were going
quite tolerable in country for which
they started out on their way to the
happy land of Liberia.
All of which is somewhat refreshing
as things go in this world.-New York

A Queer Relic.

Come years since Lieutenant Peary,
who Is now somewhere in the frozen
north, had charge Of certain govern.
ment works at Key West. While the
work was in progress he noticed on the
bottom Of the harbor, near where q
breakwater was beng built, something
which shone through the water. He in.

get no response more satisfactory than
the assurance that it had always beel

stood that the temper Of Lieutenant
Peary was different. He sent diver
down to investigate and after much diff

small copper cannon of the Fifteenth cen.

claims of the government to the piece
for the price of old copper and the inter.

Sir Morell Mackenxie's death recalled
the placidity Of that eminent surgeon
amid the series Of extraordinary insults
and antagonistic demonstrations in Ber-
lin during the illness of the late Kaiser
Frederick. have seen the people in
Berlin throw mud at the carriage of the
English doctor, who was popularity sup
posed to be numbering the German kaiser,
and he was subjected to insults without
number whenever he appeared in the
crowded streets Of the German capital.
The bitterness of the emperors physi-
clans was so keen that it transcribed all
bounds of medical etiquette, and Sir
Morells life at Charlottenburg at one
time was only saved from continued and
unbearable insults by the protection Of
the kaiser's English wife.
The Empress Frederick was a firm be-
lever in her countryman's skill, and she
prevailed in the end. After the mist of
the medical battle had cleared away it
was found that the skill of Sir Morell
Mackenzie had been justified, and lau-
rels were piled high upon his brow. He
was typical surgeon in manner, for
nothing ever had the slightest effect
upon his deep seated and natural tran
guilty of manner.-Blakely Hall in
Brooklyn Eagle.

ENGLAND BEFORE THE STORM.

The day that b the night OF dayA
With cannon Are for sun ablaze.
We spy from any pillows lift;
And England still this tidal drff0
Would she to sainted forethought VOW
A space before the thunder's food,
That martyr Of its hour might now
Spare her the tears Of blood?
Asleep upon her ancient deeds,
She hugs the vision plethora bleeds.
And counts her manifold increase
OF treasure in the fruits Of peace.
What curse on earth's improvident,
When the dread trumpet skaters rest,
Is wreaked, she knows, yet smiles content
AS cradle rocked from breast.
She, impious to the Lord Of Hosts,
The valor Of her offspring boasts,
Mindless that now on land and main
His needed prayer is active brain.
No more great heart may guard the home
Save eyed and armed and skilled to cleave
Yon swallower wave with shroud Of foam
We see not distant heave.
They stand to be her sacrifice,
The SONS this mother filings like dice,
To face the odds and brave the Fates;
As in those days Of starry dates,
When cannon lannon's counterblast
Awakened. muzzle muzzle bowled.
And high in swathe Of smoke the mast
Its fighting rag outrolled.

The Bluebird.

You may expect the bluebird any
time after the sun passes the winter
solstice. In his musical engagement
it is not matter of dates, but oppor
tunity. 1t is never matter of importu
nifty. Who ever heard bluebird's sons
out of season. It may be cold anc
snowy tomorrow, but his wings tremblt
in the nervous ecstacy of the present
and he sings of the bit of spring thai
now is. When the storm comes then ht
is silent. He may fee before its breath
or, if it is late in the season, he will folc
his wing, unstring his lutte and uncom
plainingly wait till the vernal sun anc
wind shall come again. But let thu
merest slit of sunlight cash the cloud
and he MARBLES forth his greetings. HI
has been accused of trying to force tht
season. But it is not that. He is such
lover of the very promises of nature
that he is as happy in hope as fruition.

March snowstor1n, late, as the sun was
sinking, and stopped to watch them
plying their distress. Suddenly there
was some commotion, which attributed
to my presence and scrutiny-a low con
versational chatter, quivering OF
wings, few fitting changes of position
and then gurgle of spring melody
among the snowdrops. Astonished,
