HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

There are certain cliques of men who
congregate nearly every evening in
each of the hotels, and usually their
conversation is quite entertaining. The
principal themes around the corridors
are mining and the coming conventions,
but now and then a group viii deviate
and prod into the most remote sub
jects in the world There are mining
men. politicians, business men, loafers.
commercial statesmen, wool men and
few foreigners, and it is a rare occa-
sion when one of the rings is not
talking, whether they are saying any
thing or not.
The moralizers had the floor in the
Templeton last evening,..and began on
charity.
Look at this suit now and tell me
if charity doesn't begin at homer"
why, old man. yours isn't circum-

DO you know, that I've actually

this winter to buy me handsome out

Very foolish They didn't like you
any more for it. You should have kept
it for yourself
i've heard others say that, but its
just this way: / remember just one
night in my whole life when I didn't
know where the breakfast was coming
from next day, and since then I've
never passed a man by if l could help
it. I'd rather give it to three men, and
run the risk of two Of them soaking
it for beer than to miss the third one
who needed it,
Speaking of charity" broke in the
fat man, 'there is a little lesson for
US at least once week in the papers"
How: what do you mean?"
well, one morning recently in an
eastern paper I noticed an article some
thing like this: A woman who was
turned away from the poor house
some days ago was found on the curb
on the corner of such and such streets
this morning about 2 O'Clock. Sergeant
Blank conducted the poor creature
with her crying babe to the hall, where
she died within an hour. The cause
of death was exhaustion and lack Of
food.
Now, of course, I've been reading
things like that for long time, and
I passed it without a thought.
Il wandered through the dispatches,
glanced at the editorials, ran over the
dramatics and turning saw the society
page. I never read society, but thought
I'd glance down the page, and in a
moment my eye lit upon something like
this, of course, not exactly these words,
but after this style: One of the most
successful receptions ever given in this
city was that of Mrs D-'s, which
took place last evening. The
costumes of the ladies were
very exquisite, and in direct contrast
to the more sober black and white
worn by the gentlemen. The rooms
were decorated very handsomely, the
roses alone costing several hundred
dollars"
We'll and what of that?"
81 just turned to the first article and
dozed off into one of my little reflec-
tons

say, God help him. -
