Sixteen Hungry Boys Filled with Yea
 Pie in Dickens Pleshop.

Sixteen Hungry Boys Filled with Veal Pie in Dickens PIeshOp.
 An exchange tells the following story of the pieshop in London before which Charles Dickens used to stand when, as child, he drudged in a blacking factory. Every day, on the way to and from his work, he paused to de- vour the viands with his eyes, and sometimes he pressed his tongue to the windew-pane, as if by so doing he got taste of the good things which were "so near and yet so far"
 An American railroad man who ad- mires Dickens hunted up his pieshop when in London in order to gratify his curiosity and his sentiment. It proved to be mere box of a place in poor quarter of the city, but the original business was still carried on there. As the traveller peered into the shadowy interior, 8 voice was heard at his el- bow:
 Please, sir, will you buy me veal pie?'
 The ow ner of the voice was a small, disheveled person, with whom a pie of veal, or anything else of hearty nature, would have agreed right we'll.
 "How many boys do you think this shop will hold?" asked the American.
 II dunno. About fifteen or sixteen, should think"
 Well, go and get fifteen boys, and bring them back here"
 The boy studied the mans face for a moment, as if to make sure that he was in the enjoyment of his senses, and then with Q yell hurried into side street. Hardly a minute elapsed be- fore he returned at the head of pro cession of sixteen gamins, of assorted sizes, unanimous in appetite and hope.
 This ragged battalion assembled close behind it's benefactor and fol- lowed him into the shop, where he an nounced that he was going to give all the boys all the pie they wanted. They wanted a great deal, as it proved; their capacity for ''weal pie" was something marvellous. But their benefactor was as good as his word, and sixteen happy and satisfied boys left the shop singing his praise.

TIPS FOR THE QUEEN.
They Are Called Perquisites, But She Gets
 Them Just the Same.

They Are Called Perquisites, But She Gets
 Them Just the Same.
 Queen Victoria gets more tips than any other functionary in Great Britain, and, what is more, she insists on get ting them. Of course they are not called tips. They are called perquis- ties, but it is all the same. An ex-at- tache, writing in the New York Trib- une, says that among the most curious of them is her right to every whale or sturgeon captured on the coast of the united kingdom and brought to land. Both of these perquisites date back to the days of the Norman kings and it appears that in the case of the whale the monsters were divided between the sovereign and his consort, the queen taking the head in order that her ward robe might be replenished with the whalebone needed for the stiffening of her royal garments.
 Another of the queens backsheesh is a certain number of magnificent Cashmere shawls, which are dispatched to her every year from the kingdom of Cashmere. They vary in value, as 8 1TOm GlIGG AuAOISO t"CAfO hundred dollars apiece and the queen fs accustomed to present one of them as a wedding present to every young girl of the aristocracy or in whose fu- ture she is in any way interested. Every tailor holding patent of ''Pur- veyor to her Majesty" if he conforms to ancient tradition and usage, should present her with a silver needle each year.
 Another class of royal purveyors is called upon to present annually to her a table cloth, while from other sources she is entitled to an annual contribu- ton of such varied tips as white doves, white hares, ,currycombs, fire tongs, scar lethosiery, nightcaps, knives, dances and crossbows. Moreover, at the corona tion the lord of the manor of Adding ton must present to the sovereign a ''dish of pottage" composed of almond milk, brawn of capons, sugar, spices, chickens parpoiled and chopped" At the same ceremony the lord of the manor of Haydon is obliged by virture of his tenure from the crown to pre- sent the monarch with towel, the lord of the manor of Workshop giving the sovereign a ''right-handed glove. |" These are only few of the various backsheesh to which Queen Victoria is entitled by tradition and usage.

Giving the Mitten.

The following is from the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette: A young lady in this city is carrying on quite an original and pretty little philan- thropic work of her own, and with ex- cellent results. At the beginning of the winter she invested in large num- Der of warm mittens of various sizes, and every cold day, before going out, two or three pairs of these are slipped into her pocket. To use her own words: ''It is very seldom that re- turn without having found some man, womans or child whose hands look sufficiently red and cold to justify me in offering them pair of the mittens from .ny h5tle stock. It is very tiny charity, but it pleases me to feel can make somebody even one degree more comfortable in these depressing timesn

Strength of the Sexes.

The recent French experiment upon fifty persons of both sexes, in which a machine for compression as a test of strength was used, demonstrated that the strongest man was able to produce with his right hand a pressure equival- cnt to1 eighty-five kilograms, the weakest forty, the average being fifty-six. One curious conclusion arrived at as result of the expert ment was this: The short men were all very nearly as strong as the tall ones, the average difference between groups of the two sizes being only three kilograms. The force of the strongest woman of the fifty amounted to only forty-four kilograms, and that of the weakest to only sixteen, while the average was only thirty-thrst Kilograms

4 Human Sonpbird.

It is said of Alboni that she ''warbled like a bird all day long" She used to sit in her garden and sing as she worked at lace making or some other feminine occupation, and the rent of the house adjoining her villa was raised thousand francs because of the free musical entertainments thus fur nished. In regard to her great size, her body became so unwieldly in her last years that she rose with difficulty from her chair, and usually had to be helped to rise. The great singer was so fond of the home1y art of alarming stockings that it was said she would have darned stockings for the universe" if she had had time.

THE JAMES H. HAMLEN.
Drops Her Anchor on the Flats off Bostor
Harbor.

The bark J.. H. Hamlin, of VIII ich mem
tion has been made, arrived Ill Boston
harbor Sunday from Trapani. Her
master, Capt. Mcdonald, gives this ac-
count of the trip to the Boston journal
of yesterday:
Sucn a succession of light winds, in
all his ocean voyaging, her master, capt
Mcdonald, says he never experienced
before The Hamlin is rated good,
staunch craft, with but few years as yet
to float She was of Briti b register, but
Is now owned by J. H. Hsunlen OF Port-
land. The vessel was under charter to
John G. Hall g. Co. of Boston, and made
first to Philadelphia, thence to Irapanl
for this load of alt-which she now brings
some 900 to 1000 tons. The. voyage out
was in the usual time, from 50 to oo
days, and without incident. She Cd,
tained her clearance about the 9th OF
June, and took her final departure upon
the 29th, bound for Boston, She mas
met with no tempests nor gales lnaeea,
they would have been most cheerful in
comparison with the kind of weather
which was her portion. There was not
the uncommon experience OF caprlcl Gus
winds up to Gibralta, which was made
in much longer time than usual. Ihe
bark passed out by the Rock at night,
which is not often done on these yoy-
ages, it is said.
Leaving Gibralta there was no.change
for the better. 1t became soon appare Mt
that the ship was to take more than
ordinary experience in the doldrums:
There were days when she lay becalmed
with scarce breath Of air to I'LL her top
sails OF course, as is always the case
in those warm latitudes, her bottom be-
gan to foul. and the barnacles grew
apace, olinging tenaoiously to her plank
of the vessel still more sluggish.
The only thing which ran low was the
flour, and happily the bark fell in with
the steamer Rio Grande just north of
northeast lightship on the 10Th and from
her Capt Mcdonald obtained barrel
of the article he had so much needed.
That was all there was for the sensa-
tional story of "hardships'' on board to
stand upon. Both the owner and the
captain object to any such idea going
forth. It wasn't an extraordinary thing
on long voyage for :somesonefsupply
to fall short, and for shipmaster to re-
new it. They object strongly to the state
ment that there was any suffering among
the men, because it is declared that there
was not. Nothing of.the sort occurred on
board.
AS TO tne passage, tne tiIne ds given tne
Journal reporter yesterday, was 86 days,
and not over 90, as given in the first
dispatches. While this is long pas
sage it is by no means unexampled. A
member of the firm of John G. Hall &
Co., the consignees of the Hamlen, states
that they have had instances of similar
experiences before, and of ships being a
full 80 days on the voyage from just such
N isfortune as befell Capt. Mcdonald.
IoI tho latter aho11t 1f
days ago, but had not become anxious as
to his safety, because his time was still
within the previous limit of lengthy
trips !"

TO GIVE ALLEN A CHANCE.
The Young Mans Father to Arrive In
savannah Tonight

savannah Tonight.
e. G. Allen, alias r. F. Ardel, alias
Capt. Gage Rivers. is still in the police
barracks. 1t is not unlikely that the mat
ter may be adjusted and the young man
released. He appears to have been the
dupe of his older companion, G. f. Mer-
rift, alias Young, alias Mckee, who is
now on his way north on the Nacoochee.
Aliens father, Rev. E. L. Allen of New
ark, N. j., is ON his way to Savannah
and is expected to arrive here tonight.
He comes in response to a telegram from
his Maynard son, who wants his reverend
father to save him from the peniten tiary
In all probability he will do SO, as the
Atlanta parties seemed disposed to com
promise the matter.
Mr. H. L. Mayer of Atlanta, represent
ing the owners of the bicycles stolen BY
the young men in Atlanta, arrived in the
city yesterday morning, prepared to take
young Allen back with him. He saw AL
len and had a long conference with him
sion.
Mr.. Mayer says that Merritt, alias Nc
hee and several other names, is the real
crook, and is the man most wanted.
Merritt was probably arrested on the
arrival of the Nacoochee in New York
last night. Mr.. Mayer says he does not
think It will be necessary to have him
brought back to Atlanta, as there is a
party in New York from whom he stole
a bicycle some. time ago, and who will

matter will be settled and the boy re-
