Death in a Rig City.


The shadows of metropolitan life could
scarcely have a more ghastly illustra-
ton than in the case of the corpse of the
old man at a Greenwich street window
staring into the windows OF the elevated
cars for two days, the butt of the train
mems Christmas time humor. A little
while before was the killing and man
Cling of another man on the elevated al
most Immediately opposite window
where sat his wife and child looking in
nocently out and wondering who it was
being carried away under the protecting
blanket.
We are wont to look upon the extraor-
dinary situations created by the novelist
and playwright with satirical severity,
but the pen of Sue, Dumas, Dickens and
of a host of inlitators never conjured up
from imaginations vivid with research
and practical observation a more pa
thetically impressive picture than is pre-
sented in the dead man at the Greenwich
street window. Yet such things are so
common in New York that they are
swallowed up in the great maelstrom of
metropolitan events-forgotten in day.

STATE OFFICIALS.
COUNTY OFFICIALS.

1t is becoming more doubtful every
day that any free coinage bill will be
passed by the present congress. Demo
cratic opinion is said to be changing
very rapidly not simply as tothe wisdom
of the measure but as to its merits. 1t
is perfectly evident that this change is
being effected less from principle than
policy. The party that SO vigorously
denounced republican decentralization
when in the minority now find them
selves in power with an elephant on
their hands. A free silver plank in the
platform would break the party in two;
so it is said. They would have to say
goodbye to New England, to the middle
states and to such states as Wisconsin,
Illinois, Iowa and Michigan. Then, too,
leading German papers have served
notice that the German vote will leave
in a body OH a free coinage issue. So
principle must be sacrificed to exped-
iency as it is more important to hold Of
flee than to be consistent, and easier to
bear the charge of a stultified record
than to be ousted from power.

Curious History OF a silver Mine.

There is silver mine near Sarhad, in
Afghan territory, which has a curious
history. Three men were sent from
that country to Cabul. the residence of
the Ameer. to be executed for an Of
Tense against the state. They told the
Ameer that if he would let them off
they would tell him where he could find
abundant supplies of silver. The Ameer
deferred the execution and sent them
under guard to Iskansham, where they
went to work digging. They and the
men who were put to work with them
dug for twenty days, finding nothing.
The Ameer's officer told them at length
that they could dig for seven days more
and if they did not find silver within
that time the sentence of death would
be carried out The next day they
came to very rich vein of silver, and
now about one hundred men are en-
ployed in the mines, which was visited
last summer by an English traveler. -

WASHINGTON LIFE.


WAsHINeToN, March 14.-The dull rou-
tine of Washington official life is often
followed by some amusing incident,
which, for the monet, drives away care
and toll. Again, some pathetic scene is
enacted which stirs all the gentler feel
ings of those who witness it. An occur
renee of the latter kind happened some
days since IN the Treasury Department.
Secretary Blaine was walking through
the building when he saw a familiar tig-
ure engaged in performing the services
OF a messenger. He could scarcely credit
the evidence of his own senses az first,
but when he was convinced he went up
TO the man and, in his brisk peremptory
way, when deeply interested in a sub
ject, said: "Why, Mr.. Bowen, you
mustn't be doing this kind of work. 1
can't allow it. I'll find something better
for you"
The gentlemad to whom he spoke was
Mr.. Sayles ]. Bowen, at one time mayor
of Washington, at another it's post
master and for years one of it's most
prominent citizens. His experience had
been one which is common, and so far as
known contained no extraordinary
features. Mr. Blaine was as good as his
word and found Mr.. Bowen a congenial
place in the State Department.
1t is not generally known that Major-
General Alfred Pleasanton, one of the
most distinguished cavalry leaders dur
ing the war, is spending the last years of
his life in a small room of a poor hotel
in this city. But such is the fact. He
is not in want, but suffers greatly from
disease and cannot wear his clothes. Hb
declines to see anyone but his old colored
nurse and his physician. 1t is said that
he is greatly emacIated and that those
who knew the dashing fighter in the days
of the Rebellion would not recognize
him in the figure now cooped up in a
small room here in Washington.

ductor in 1858 he had charge of the train
that President Lincoln made his hazard
Gus trip from Philadelphia to the Capitol
before taking the oath of Office. In
physique Mr. Knox bore n striking re-
semblance TO President Lincoln, and was
selected as the model for Winnie Reams
statue of Lincoln which stands in the
