HeWers of Wood.

The origins of the Futurist anC

been inquired into closely enough
None has thought yet to connect these
artistic experimenters with those
sturdy hewers who evolved the archie

or, by way of variation, Turk. Move
the calendar on six hundred years;
would any expert authority, coming
upon the carved head of Mile. Pogany
and one of the hewn Indian tribe in
the ruins of New York, deny that they
had come from the same hand?
Pure inspiration suggest the con
nection. Let another follow the clew
This is simply to note one cigar store
Indian on the Bowery, the work of an
original genius. The figure of the In
dian is of the familiar school, and
the coloring without distinction. But
in the Indians hands the workman
placed cleverly a real old fiint-lock
musket. The ancient weapon, after
all the vicissitudes Of Bowery life, is
still in excellent ondition.-Harper s

WERE ALL ONE TO HIM
HORACE GREELEY NOT PARTlCU.
LAR AS TO FOODS He ATE.
Amusing Stories Told by the Late
WhiteIaW Reid Concerning the
Eccentricities of His Famous
Chief at Table.

Several of the anecdotes that our
late ambassador to England, Whitelaw
Reid, used to relate of Horace Gree
ley, his old chief on the Tribune, have
recently been going the rounds Of the
press. Most of them refer to his Pc
culiarities in the office; few to those
he displayed in company, especially st
table, where his Observation-Disclosures
and his queer theories combined to
produce unexpected results.
Once, when he was to take supper
with daughter of Nathaniel Willis
she arranged the meal especially to
suit his ideas. 1t was simple, and
there were plenty of the graham things
that he advocated so ardently. But
lest her own family should rebel, there
were also hot rolls upon the table. Mr.
Greeley's eye fastened upon them at
once, and ignoring the graham gems
conveniently at hand, he reached for
a hot ROLAND then for another. AS
he began on third, his hostess re-
marked that she was delighted to see
that he liked her rolls, but that she
had thought he did not eat such things
Fanny, do you always practice what
you preach?" was the unperturbed re-
joinder; and he made his entire meal
off the delicious but indigestible rolls
that his own decree had banished from
the Greeley home-leaving a scant few
for his table companions, who had to
exc out their supper with the unde
sired gems.
But if he was funny when he knew
what he ate, he was funnier when he
did not-as in the famous episode of
the crullers, which occurred at the
table of his boarding house. When the
crullers were passed to him, instead
of taking a single cruller, he accepted
the entire basket and absently placed
it in his lap as he continued his dis
course. Presently, vaguely aware of
something there, his hand wandered
downward and encountered cruller
This he mechanically grasped and
raised to his mouth. Quite unaware
of what he was doing, he ate and
talked, and talked and ate; cruller
after cruller disappeared until the bas.
ket was empty The company were
convulsed with suppressed merrtment;
one or two had to leave the table, to
have their laugh out in the hail.
But the kindly landlady, distressed
on account of possible results, remem-
bered having heard that the best anti
dote to indigestion was cheese. Quietly
removing the empty cake basket from
Mr.. Greeley's lap, she put in it's place
a plate of cheese, trusting to Provi-
dence that his habituated hand would
continue it's action. 1t did. His talk
flowed on, but his fingers found the
cheese, and it, too, disappeared to the
last crumb.
"Those who saw the sight," it is
declared, were firm in the belief that
Mr.. Greeley did not know he had eaten
anything that evening. "-Youth's Com

Former President Of the City Council
- About to Bring
Charges.

Enthusiastically Treasurer Thomas
P. Hall, Street Commissioner and City
Engineer Henry Gebeler and Alderman
William Enke, who is chairman Of the
street and alley committee, are to be
named defendants in a~suit charging
them with a misappropriation of city
funds. by Charles Joslyn, former pres.
ident Of the city couicil
The action is prompted by the fact
that instead of engaging outside labor,
the city ire department was paid by
the city for cleaning it's paved streets.
Rochester has two fire teams, stand.
ing idle the greater part of the time,
and it was the belief that it was econ:
omy to use the city tesms for the pure
pose instead of hiring others. The
money was then paid to the fire do
partment for the work. =. e. :,
The contention is that under the
charter the officials had no right to
pay the department for the labor when
It is paid by the city for fire protec.
ton purposes, and that under the
charter the city treasurer had no right
to pay the bills or to transfer money
from the general fund to the fire pro-
lection fund. The case will be heard
at the June term of the district court.
