FOUND IN OLD HOUSES.
Some Artistic Odds and Ends Sold BY
the Professional Wrecker

From the New York Times.
There's always some new kink for MAX
ing little extra money in my business.
remarked the house wrecker "The bust
ness is something of a gamble anyway, so
we have to keep a sharp lookout for every
chance to realize a few dollars more on the
old buildings which we take down-but my
latest source of income IS a winner.
IT have discovered an old fellow who is a
crank on the subject of the artistic and
particularly the antiquely artistic. There
are doubtless plenty of others like him in
the city, but few of them follow up their
hobby so closely. When any historic struc-
ture. like the Stewart mansion, is to be de-
moished there is, of course, large crowd
of curio hunters of one sort and another
lowering around ready to make off with
almost any old thing. -
but my particular friend goes at it sys-
tematcally. He knows that a great many
other old houses in the city, less famous
than the Stewart mansion and of less or
nate exterior, are just as likely to contain
some fixtures or some @bit of decoration of
just the sort for which he is looking, so
that nowadays whenever l get a contract
to take down any house that has even
moderately aged look my first duty is to
call him up on the telephone. Within a
day or two. before turn my gang loose on
the building with crowbars. the old man
comes around and we go through the house
from garnet to cellar. Very often he will
not see anything that strikes his fancy
but then again he will pick out an old chan
delier a mantel and pay me good round
figure for it-that is, what seems to me q
good figure, because it is just so much vel
vet He is not dealer. and my only fear
is that before long his house will contain so
much junk that he will stop buying, But
he is good thing while he lasts

Labouchere.

T. P. OConnor in EveryboGys Magazine.
To understand the character of Labou-
chere one must know that this hooking
spirit who has broken more knaves and
more shams than almost any man, who has
figured in hundred fights to the death in
law courts, and has never, or rarely, been
worsted is human, like the rest of us. He
is considerate to all those around him.
sometimes even he is shy and tinid 1t is
said that when he rings a bell for servant
with any Impotence he runs out of the
room before the servant has time to APP
pear. And l have often seen this spirit of
almost sardonic mockery blush like girl.
The face shows the contradiction of the
character. When first you look at it you
are conscious only of it's mockery. The
eyes-black, cold, penetrating-are made
even more quiZzically funny by eyebrows
that twist and turn though they were
prepared by some theatrical coiffeur for a
barytone about to play Mephistopheles But
the mouth reveals that other side Of the
spirit: it reveals the man Of iron resolution,
of infieXible opinions. of enmities that do
not die. Napoleon used to be called Jupi-
ter-Scapin; l might sum up Labby a.

Easily Assimilated Immigrants.

When the loyalty and patriotism of both
races-the English and the Irish-toward
America are considered it is a well-known
fact that there are no emigrants from
Europe who assimilate SO speedily with
the American people as the Irish From
the very moment they set foot on our
soil they become American in every aspira-
ton and hate oppression. This is charac-
teristic of the Irish, who are liberty
loving people
ton for the past two centuries of the Irish
people to the United States, who, with
their offspring today, aggregate about
30 600 OOO-over four times the present pop
ulation of Ireland. Englands loss has
proved America gain.
The foregoing statement is not made in
the spirit of bitterness or i'll WILL but to
prove the truth of the old adage that those
who SOW the wind shall reap the whirl-
wind, and also to prove the very active
part the Irish race took, not only in aiding
to secure American independence, but they
have been pioneers in promoting the great
industries of the country-commercial
manufacturing and agricultural They
represent from the humble laborer to the
highest ranks in professional and business
life. In the forum--the legislature-in the
church and state they rank the best
American citizens.
Present Irish Leaders.
For further proof of the valor and BRAY
cry of Irelands sons let US look at Eng
lands greatest leaders of today: Wolseley,
Roberts, Kitchener. French. Kelly-Kenny,
Beresford (head of the army and navy, and
the late Lord Charles Russell, lord chief
Justice of England 1t is also an acknowl-
edged fact that the rank and file of Eng
lands bravest troops are the Irish. No
country in the world possesses such num-
Der of loyal patriots as Ireland. many of
whom have spent their whole lives in the
cause of their country. Among them may
be mentioned the Redmonds, the billions,
