ALARGE Crop OF Ice HARVESTED.

ALARGg Crop OF Ice HARVESTED.
A telegram from New York says: The
recent spell of intensely cold weather
has been NEST favorable for the gather
ing of the ice crop. This important
harvest within the last few years has
caused NeyoY orkelSsEeat anxiety, for
ever sinEahs ice famine of 1890 the
people in thissand adjoining cities have
had lively sense Of what greater New
York would be in the sumner without
ice. Ineeine last two weeks 20, 600 men
have been engaged at different parts Of
the Hudson river, between --Rondout
and Albany, gathering the ice crop. AS
these men get anywhere from $1.5O to
50 and 81 day. the ice crop has been
a godsend to thousands of men who
were out of work and who usually de-
pended upon the ice harvest to help
them through dPer winter Many, ,ot
these men are carpenters, masohs anu

An old tobaccOnlst IN recountlng the

bility, and firm in Boston boasts of
making up cigars which, after the
/ duty is paid, cost S4. 35 apiece.
Men may prate on the extravaganza
of "the fair SEX, but the drapery
and ornaments hung on women are
not consumed at sitting, and occa-
slonally give pleasure to others.
When days wages quickly go up in
smoke from the lips of the Prince of
Wales it looks like simple waste. Ger
tain it is that even with Cuba under
Spanish rule, excellent cigars, "good
enough" for anybody, can be bought
at reasonable price.

he New York Mail and Exr

The New York Mail and Express
maintains that "the field of dime-novel
romance is coming nearer civilization
every day. The other day two men are
reported to have driven to Pine Plains,
A hamlet in Dutchess County, and to
have exhumed the buried treasure of
cred. Nosed Mike" an alleged mur-
derer and robber. The late Mr.. Beadle
never started two heroes upon a more
fascinating search than this one of the
hidden plunder of "Red-Nosed Mike. "
A few more expeditions of this sort
and there will be no more trips into
the Far West in quest of Indians. The
parents of adventurous or truant boys
should welcome the change. Besides
this there is more money in buried
gold than in Indian scalp locks. The
change seems to be desirable from
whatever point it may be viewed,

says if she has any residence at all il

of respect the assaults Of the dissenters, es-
pecally Justice Harlan, on his elaborate
opinion delivered after the the first hearing.
He has a strong personal feeling against the
dissenters, especially Justice Harlan.
The old gentleman has been so reused up
bv his feelings over the income tax case as to
be- in better health tlsln for some time and he
now declares that he believes he will be able
to remain on the bench two years more. and
so thwart any possible attempt to alter the

Boston and Her Share OF Commerce

Boston must be mp to date in har-
Dor facilities if she means to get her
rightful share of the commerce of the
future. 1t is a good sign that the
members of our chamber of commerce
are manlfesting such lively interest
in securing such channel improve
ments that the largest of modern
steamships may safely and readily
ind the necessary accommodation. 1t
IS unquestionably y true that the claims
Of the port have not received in
the past the attention which should
have been accorded them at Washing
ton. The remedy for this condition
