4. The Poor nnnrters Of Paris.

On the right bank of the Seine the citadel
of labor and poverty seems full oil lie ana
snerpy. Charonne, Menilmontant, Belle
Vile. La yillette, La Chapelle, Clignan-
conrt. Montmartre, Les Epinettes, Batig-
nolles-each district formerly an independ-
emit village with its central street-have
become amalgamated into one vast center
of population, traversed by endless streets
and broad avenues-Rue des Pyrenees, Rue
de Crimee, Rue Ordener, Rue Curial, Rue
Marcadet, Rue de Belleville, Rue Ober'
kampf, Chaussee Clignancourt, Avenue de
In Republidue, Boulevard de la Chapelle'
boulevard de Belleville, etc. In these quar-
tors are concentrated two-thirds OF the pop
ulation of Paris.
On these heights, that form, as 1t were,
crown above rich Paris, some oil the houses
contain as many as 200 inmates, and the
streets are so crowded that you cannot see
the pavement except at night. Here are
the reservoirs of poverty and OF energy that
hurst and food Paris in days OF revolution:
Here are the inexhaustible reserves OF
cheap labor that make the wealth OF manu-
featuring Paris.
What swarms of peoplel What fer
mentation of various activity What q
nerpetual straining and strugglingl AND
vet with all that, there is no obvious sad
ness and very little obtrusive discomfort;
On the contrary, the people are gay and
much piven to witticisms and levity; they
enjoy the bustle and animation OF their
surroundings, and they have only to walk
a few wards in any direction to find those
Lrood sbadv avenues and those fine urban
narts which the traditions Of Haussmann
have extended even to the poorest quarters
Of the city.-Thsodore Child in Harpers'

the great pubic-what would be called the
middle classes abroad-is not at so low an
ebb as many fancy. People often say THE
public want this or The public is not edu-
Gated to receive such and such a thing.

THE MASTER PASSION.
Alleged to BE the Mania For Getting Free
Passes For the Play.

Passes For the Play.
II was once present." said Charles
Dickens, "at social discussion which
originated by chance. The subject was,
What was the most absorbing and long
est lived passion in the human breastP
What was the passion so powerful that
it would almost induce the generous to
be mean, the careless to be cautious, the
guileless to be deeply designing and the
dove to emulate the serpent?' A daily
editor of vast experience and great
acuteness, who was one of the company,
considerably surprised us by saying,
with the greatest confidence, that the
passion in question was the passion of
getting orders for the play. There had
recently been terrible shipwreck, and
very few of the surviving sailors had
escaped in an open boat.
Zone of these on making land came
straight to London and straight to the
newspaper Office with his story of how
he had seen the ship go down before
his eyes That young man had Witness
ed the most terrible contention between
the powers Of fire and water for the de-
struction of that ship and of every one
on board. He had rowed away among
the floating dying and the sinking dead.
He had floated by day, and he had fro
zen by night, with no shelter and no
food, and as he told his dismal tale he
rolled his haggard eyes about the room.
"When he had finished and the tale
had been noted down from his lips he
was cheered and refreshed and soothed
and asked if anything could be done
for him. Even within him that master
passion was so strong that he immedi-
ately replied that he should like an or.
der for the play. My friend, the editor,
certainly thought that was rather a
strong case, but he said that during his
many years of experience he had wit
messed an incurable amount Of self pros
tration and abasement having no other
object and that almost invariably on the
part of people who could well afford to
pay. "-Exchange.

Hardy Climbing Roses.

In the prairie rose we have class OF
hardy native climbing roses often found
growing Wild in Michigan and the west
ern states, which we may plant with
confidence. Two of the more commonly
known roses of this class, which are IA
vorites everywhere on account of their
hardness, free blooming, and the fact OF
their flowers appearing just after the
other varieties are nearly over, are Queen
of the Prairie and Baltimore Belle, vari-
eties raised in the year lS43 by rose
grower named Feast, in Baltimore, from
seeds of the wild prairie rose crossed
with some European variety. These two,
the former red and the latter white,
when grown near each other on the same
porch or with INTERVIEWING branches,
heighten each others beauty by con-
trast. Both are of rapid growth and
may be employed to advantage for COW
ering any unsightly objects as walls, old
trees, old buildings, etc. Among the
most desirable roses of the prairie class
we have Annie Maria, vigorous, pale
pink, very few thorns; Baltimore Belle,
pale blush, changing to white; Gem OF
the Prairie, free, believed to be from
Queen of the Prairies crossed with Nine.
Laffay, rosy red, occasionally blotched
with white, large, flat flowers, slightly
fragrant; Queen of the Prairies, vigor'
GUS, rosy red, frequently with white
stripe, medium or large size, double, TO-
lilge large, five leaflets, quite serrated;
Triumphant, vigorous, rosy pink, me-
dium size, double or full, distinct, seven
leaflets arecommon. n.-Cleveland Leader

Sad was the honest old farmers awak-
ing from the delusion in which he had
encouraged himself. Pan after pan Of
sand and dirt were deftly twirled by the
expert miner in the edge of the creek,
and reduced down to their last grains
without single speck appearing that
looked even little bit yellow. Though
trial was made in score of places the
result was the same everywhere. Then
they went back to the northern creek
and tested the sand there to make sure
that there was no mistake about that.
The washing of the first pan yielded
golden atoms that Mr.. Chipland esti-
mated at full dollars worth.
Zach! lieber himmel!" walled the old
man, sinking down upon the bank.
"These emotions will be the death OF me.
From one surprise to another I fly so
fast that my head schvims. One mo-
ment 60 up in the clouds With hope unit

With disappointment unit despair. did

about seven million dollars, unit now it
dvindles down to poor little one hun
dred unit forty thousand"
The Goldbug turned away to conceal a
smile. Abstractedly amusing himself
by panning out another lot of dirt,
which turned out richer than any pre-.
ceding, he said:
"Of course you might gamble that
those sharpers took everything there
was in sight. OF course they had been
over all the ground, and knew they
didn't want the south creek. Land
without gold in it would be no good tc
them-any more than it would to me,
But know what I'd do if Iwere in youl
place."

Furnishing an Eskimo Dog.

The worst punishment that can be in
flicted upon Il conscientious leader Eskimo
dog is to reduce him to the ranks, and his
abject demeanor as he sorrowfully sinks
along with his tail between his legs is al
most heartrending On the other hand the
dog that has been promoted at once assumes
a self conscious strut. The old adage that
dog will eat dog was proved repeatedly on
my Alaska trip. On one occasion dog re
ceived no food for nearly five days because
we had through the bungling of lying
guide underestimate the length of march
and had run out of the supply of dried
salmon, which forms the sole diet of the
Eskimo dog
In consequence we lost half dozen Of
our faithful animals by starvation, trial
which to me was more agonizing than any
personal suffering. never saw during this
period of miserya single sign shown by any
one OF the team to satisfy his cravings upon

MISSION SANTA CRUZ.

How swiftly here oblivion set her seall
What has the vanished century left Of each
The Spanish rooftree and the Spanish
speech
The music and the roses of Castiep
A newer generation comes to kneel
Where crumbling walls and broken tiles of
red
Became the dust above forgotten dead
The unregarded dust beneath the Wheel
The call to vespers hath a different tone;
Even the mission bells were cast anew,
And alien echoes mingle with their own
From crowded streets, where once the wild
flowers grew.
New speech, new shrines, new hopes and
cares and fears,
To usher in another hundred years.

GOLD IN NEW JERSEY.
By ]. h tONNELLY.

There is nothing the matter but your
schnoopin about here after Lieschen,
young man" retorted the farmer severe
ly, ''unt We stop that right now."
"Oh, fatherg' cried the girl in an
agony of apprehensive alarm, "what do
you mean? You know that George and
are engaged, and you gave your con-
sent, and I'm sure you can't have any
thing against him."
The old man was troubled, but the
sense of what he as a capitalist owed to
society weighed heavily upon him, and
he steeled himself against the weakness
of mere affection.
Against George as George I got
nothing, my DEAR" he replied; "but it is
not broper that the daughter of mill
lonaire shall marry with a common
farmer yuost because he is nice feller.
lvill make other arrangements for you,
my dear. You shall marry some big
man."
"But, father, George is big enough. ]
don't want to marry anybody but
George"
"Excuse me, Mr.. Kropff," the young
man broke in, "but my farm is as good
as yours, and when you come to provide
for Jacob Idon't think that Lieschens"-
"That will do, young man. I do not
gare for discussions. will have your
farm looked over, unit ven it suits me
will buy it."
"The deuce you will!'
"Sure. Twill give you two hundred
dollars for option, unit then you got tc
sell it to me ven I wish it. That is
enough now. Go into the house, Liesch
en-. Good night, Mr.. Stirling"
The girl, sobbing but obedient, went
to seek sympathy from her mother, and
George, after a vain attempt to make
the misguided old man listen to reason
took his departure in very rebellion:
and unenviable state of mind, more thar
half convinced that his prospectiv,
father-in-law had suddenly gone crazy
That hypothesis also suggested itself tc
the mind of Frau Kropf when she heard
Lieschen's story, and not a little alarm
mingled with her anger at this unex
pected opposition to her pet scheme
Lieschen's marriage to George, as she
had planned, would be a sufficient ant
satisfactory provision for her, so thai
pretty much everything would eventu
ally go to "that bore poy Jacob" But
what might happen if the old MAI
should really go crazy she could no
foresee. What business, she asked her
self, had the old fool to go and lose hi
wits at time like this? And how die
he come to do so? Was it through hi
unwillingness to sell the farm? or hi
realization of that grand hotel ant
mineral springs scheme that her brighteI
intelligence had OWNED? Would HI
end by hanging himself like that mar
in Schnorenberg? Decidedly, she woult
have to give him good talking to.
AS "all roads lead to Rome" so al
Frau Kropff's cogitations tended to tina
end. Heinrich, whatever else might fai
him, could always be certain of "a goot
talking to-"
But knowing and caring naught o
what she was preparing for him he, find
ing Mr.. Chipland on the porch, slapped
his shoulder in hearty familiarity anc
announced:
Tomorrow morning, Goldbug, We vii
