The sceno was inspiring and seemed to in fuse now life into the crew of tho Scotch yaobt, who, naturally enough, havo been rather crestfallen since their defeat by the Yankee boys on tho Volunteer, and to give them stouter hearts for their long sail across the Atlantic. For tho past week they had been preparing the cutter for her voyage. She was stripped of her racing spars, all of whioh will be shipped to England on the Anchor Lino steamer FurnesHia. Tho racing ails hove been stowed away between docks. The Thistle's ocean spars aro in place and ore very strong. Sho will not carry much canvas. The mainboom lacks twclvo feet of reaching tho taffrail, which shows it to bo about twenty feet shorter than the racing boom. The present tophamper looks like the rig of a New York lightor, but it is very substantial and will stand a big blow. Tho cutter's long, black hull looks as rakish as ever, ami those on board contemplate with joy ratner than dread their voyage. The crew were up and about very early this morning putting a few extra turns on the ropes and making everything shipshape. At 8 0. SO Capt. Barr sang out the order to man tho anchor capstan, and the clink, clink sound, ou vory musical over tho water. The jib was up in stops, tho cutter was Aovq. short, and as soon as tho anchor was clear of tho mud, theTTilf Vas broken out and bot, and the cutter began to make way. She moved through tho water very gracefully. Tho foro stay.sail was then set, and at 6. SO o'clock, when off Stapleton, the mainsail was run up and, with tho best wind ovor her starboard quarter, she entered upon her long sea voyage in earnest. Tho only parting salute Mas given by Capt. Nelson, who dipped tho flag on tho Corinth, ion Yacht Club's house. The captain wanted to fire a gun, but he had no powder. Tho Scotch steam yacht Mohican did not accoin. pony the Thisllo down tho bay. The Thistle is manned by twenty-ono sail, ors. Capt. Barr said to an Evening Would reporter that, with fair weather, he would reach Scotland in about sixteen days. If ho does tho Thistle will probablypass the Gal. otea, although tho latter had four days' start. While Uio Thistle's crew went to bed early last night to get a good rest before starting oj. their voyuge, Gon. Charles J. Faine, tho owner, and Mr. Edward Burgess, tho designer. of the victorious Volunteer, sat up lato at Delmonico's celebrating the victory at tho banquet given in their honor by the New York Yacht Club. Tho walls of the rooms were decorated with bunting and the table with various silver cups won by yachts be. longing to tho club. The place of honor was, of course, given to the trophy brought hero by thn America. After the singing of The Song of tho Cup," composed by ex.CommodoroS. Nichol son Kane, the health of Gen. Faine and Mr. Burgess was proposed by Commodore El bridge T. Gerry. Both gentlemen made short speeches of thanks. Other speeches were made by ex-Commodore James D. Smith and Mr. Georgo L. Schuyler, the vet ernu surviving donor of the cup. Beauties of Alloputhy, Jront iVel. "No, no, young man; there ain't nothing wurth speaMugof the matter of you," said old Dr. Slpes to Uelioato little Claude Do Vcre, who was spend ing a few weeks amid the rural delights of Slpes vllle.

London, Oct. 8. There is no placo In the world where so much Is given by the public to charitable purposes as In 1mdon. Throughout the city there aro many large hospitals which are dependent en tirely upon voluntary contributions from the public for their Biipport. The dovernracnt never gives them anything. Bomo of these Institutions arc so old that the property which they havo acquired In their early period has so Increased In valuo as to now give them comfortable Incomes. Nearly every hospital has a particular day when It makes special appeals to the public. Then they have a Hospital Sunday In tho year, when all col lections taken up In tho churches are for the hospitals. The Saturday preceding Hospital Sun day ladles throughout London take their places In the streets to solicit alma for hospitals. Tho women of the highest class take part In this publlo begging. 1 saw elegantly dressed ladles upon tho last Hospital Saturday, seated to the number of one or two In a square, all through tho principal streets of London. Any one who looked halt way at them was sure to be aaked to contribute Upon such days large sums are raised, owing to tho energy of tho thousands of agents who combine their labors. Then on the special hospital days small societies make peraonal appeals for Individual charities. Yesterday coming home from Kew Hardens I met a great moving host of people parading In tho Interests of a noted west Kensington hospital. They had bands of music and banners. Organized so cieties carried banners upon which were printed appeals to the public. The people turned out for miles to witness the parade. Along the outskirts of the procession were active agents of tho hos pital, who carried boxes In which were placed the contributions which they succeeded In getting from the crowd. A dozen men carried long tin tubes, 15 or 20 feet In length. With wide, flaring mouths and solid bottoms. They would use these tubes for reaching up to tho windows of the houses for contributions. The children all along the line seemed to think It waB the greatest possible fun to shoot pennies Into these clinking tubes. These collectors received something from nearly every window. Tho tubes were also used for the pur pose of soliciting from people upon the tops of the omnibuses. In all of the public places boxes are placed for the hospital funds. The public are Invited by a sign to put In a penny for the benefit of the hos pitals. About every hospital thcro Is a box within easy reach ot the public. If the hospital Is back In an lnclosure the box hangs upon the outside gate. Tho English people do contribute largo amounts through theBC boxes. It Is different with us. I am told by those who are experi enced In hospital management In tho United Mates that the boxes placed In public receive very little notice from the publlo. There la In the station at Washington, right aver the spot where Garfield was shot, a box for the reception of contributions to the hospitals named after him. Yet the amounts received here during tho year aro so small as to constitute nothing but a most trivial Item In tho account of the receipts of this Institution. One of the most striking and picturesque chari ties in London is tho Foundling Hospital for tho education and care ot the children o'f mothers who have been betrayed or wronged. Ho child Is ac cepted at this hospital who la not the offspring of a first offense. Kach mother Is obliged to present herself to tho Board personally and tell her story. If the child Is the result of misfortune. It Is taken Into the hospital, which stands ever after to the child In the place of the parent. Tho mother sur renders the child absolutely, but If she marries and Is In a position of life where it would be for the advantage of the child to be, restored to her It Is surrendered. Hut the child has always the privi lege of returning to the hospital, and In the event of Its being Ill-treated or Improperly educated, the hospital can require Its return. This hospital was founded In 173d by Capt. Thomas Coram, an old sea captain. He received the assistance ot Hogarth and of Handel. Ills picture, painted br Hogarth, Is one ot the most valued treasures of tho Institu tion. The manuscript of Handel's oratorio of "The Mesclah" Is also the property of this Insti tution. Capt. Coram discovered the idea of this most beautiful child's home in an Incident In his own life. Ho found a deserted baby In the street, and from that finding devel oped the Idea of this home for deserted children. "1 ne happy union of the warm-hearted philanthro pist, Capt. Coram, the artistic genius of Hogarth und the brilliant Inspiration of Handel formed tho basis of this great charity. From humble begin nings It has grown to become a powerful corpora tion owning property In Its neighborhood which to-day yields It a net Income of 18,000 a year. It therefore makes no appeal to the public for aid. It Is situated near the nrltlsh Museum, and Is reached from Oxford street through Ked Lion street. The buildings are quaint, roomy and most .substantial. One ot the best examples of tho worktof Benjamin West, "Christ Blessing Little Children," two or three examples of Hogarth, the most notable of which Is "The March to Finch Icy," and a great cartoon byHaphael are among the most notable of tho art treasures of this Insti tution. But these things are ot secondary consideration to the visitor who is all Interested In children. The children themselves Bhow the splendid results of this school of training and education. I have never seen In any publlo charity such refined, delicate-looking faces. There are soo boys and 800 girls In this Institution. They are taught to read and write and are also taught the common branches of English education and music. The singing of these children attracts every Sunday a large number of visitors to their church service. In church the children are grouped to the right and left of the lofty organ directly over tho rec tor's head, the glrla upon the right, the boys upon the left. The girls wear peculiar white muslin caps. They are charity caps of the period when tho Bchool was founded. They half encircle the head and the conical crown rises sharply. They are very becoming anil arc worn even by the smallest. They wear brown stuff dresses made with short sleeves. White muslin kerchiefs are fastened about their necks In Quaker fashion, and white aprons cover the fronts of their dresses. Their arms are covered with long black gloves. Just Inside the band at the neck of the dress a little red line gives a touch of color to this picturesque and dainty-looking cos tume. The boys wear dark-blue uniforms pinked with red, with snowy white broad collars. Small boys, not largo enough to wear coats, appear In kilts, with a red sash about their waists. Tho scats of the children are In tlr,", as a chorus Is seated In an oratorio concert. Tho smallest midgets aro In front and the oldest, who are nearly ready to go out Into the world, aro on the back rowa. At the church service a week ago Sunday I Baw little children not over three years old In this front row. These little waifs looked rosy and round and as carefully attended to as the children of the most fond mother. Tho little ones were spared the sermon and wero permitted to retire after the communion service. There is no more Interesting sight in London than thli chllds' Home. It would be impossible to give all of Its advantages In any mere newspaper artl. clc. But the strong essential feature connected with It, differing from any other like charity In the world. Is that It stands back of Its children all of their lives. Any child once accepted by this instl. tutlon can always come back to It when In trouble or distress. Tho children are always taught a trade. If they hava any aptitude In a mechanical dlroctton. If not, they aro given a training vihlch will make them good domestlo servants. Their training Is so good that they are sought after by the best people throughout the United Kingdom. These children are not permitted to carelessly go from the institution. No family can havs one of them In Its service without the consent and approval of the Board of Control. The per. "on employing one of the graduates of thl. ustltu. Hon is required to make a report to the Institution twice k year. The graduate la also required to make a report concerning his or her employer, and In case the agreement made with the Board for proper care and treatment Is not carried out the chid Is returned, it Is also stipulated that the child shall always have thovrhllege of coming back to the institution oace a jer for two wteU'jUlt. a CaAWr0M, "PIED" ON THE CARD RULE.

Tho printers' striko has assumed more serious proportions since the fuiluro of tho conference last night between the Typothutui and tho committee of Big Six," as Typo, graphical Union, No. 6, Is familiarly called. Neither side shows uny disposition to yield. Tho strikers, and tho pressmen and stereo, typers who havo joined them, gathered early this morning in aud around Pythagoras Hall to tho number of a thousand or more. All wero snnguiuo of ultimate success. Tho utmost vigiluuce is used by tho pickets and committees to enpturo tho non-union typos who aro nrrivlug ou every train from all parts of tho country in search of "fat sits." When captured, tho stran. gers aro taken to l'ythagoraa Hall, whero matters aro explained to them, their immediate wants aro supplied, aud if possible, they aro persuaded to return whence they came, tho strikers paying ox peuses. It Is a pleasant excursion and pic nio for tho migratory camps who traverse tho laud over just for tho fun of tho thing and to seo tho sights. At the rooms of tho Typothotiu, tho em. ploying printers' association, in Bark placo, Mr. W. V. Basko, who is in charge, reports that up to tho present timo nioro than ouo hundred printers havo applied to him. They keep him busy answering questions and writ, iug letters of introduction to tho proprietors and foremen of tho ofllces whero printers are wanted. While au Evf.nino Wonu reporter was in Mr. Basko's offioe to-day sovou printers wore Jiiloted in by a member of the association, taur of them were intelligent and fairly well dressed, nud the others wero tattered and torn. Mr. Basko said he had no faith iu them, but ho would send them to any offlco they desired to go to. Ono of tho trio replied in good, round broguet "I know where I want to go. But what about gato money Wo want gato monoy, nnd won't work until wo get gate money, I know my biz, boss. I guess I won't work to-day; it's too late." Mr. Basko said that there was no gato money to bo had aud gavo them letters to tho heads of a largo printing houso instead. They went away smiling. It is said that the reason why Mr. Be Baun's men did not quit work was that the four non-union men employed by him joinod tho union last Sunday. There nro seventy members of tho Typo thetee, and but soven of them havo heretofore employed non-union printers only. Tho em ployers say the strike cannot last nioro than three weeks at the outsido, and that work on tho holiday publications and the magazines will not bo seriously delayed. AU negotiations ore at all end'and tho strug gle will continue on tho card-rnle issue until one side or tho other gives up. Twenty-three compositors, job printers. Sressmen and other employees in J. W. Brntt Co.'s oflico quit work this forenoon and joined the strikers at Bythagoras Hall. The employers meet this afternoon at 3 o'clock and the Union will discuss tho strike and take more decided action to-night. The strikers will receive strike money this even ing, married men being allowed 912 each a week and single men $7. HDNAFFINGJN TEXAS. A Cose That In Bonio Itcsperts Itescmbled the ejtenllnc of Charlie Urn. BijEBMiN, Oct, 13. A raso of kidnapping occurred in this city about five woeks ago, similar to that of tho famous Charlie Boss, tho facts of wliich wero not known until last night, and are about as follows Judge Buckley, ex-Mayor of this city, has a little bon named Gussie, about ten years of age. He disappeared suddenly on Sunday night, Sopt. 18, and was not heard of for over a weok, when a telegram was recoived from his grandfather and mother, Mr. and Sirs. MoCarthy, MrB. Buckley's parents, at their home at Maysneld. Ky.,- stating that ho had arrived there safely. Arrangements were made for his return, and he arrived last night, and makes the following statement, in sub stanco i On tho night he disappeared ho was on North Travis street, near tho opera-house, about dark, where he met two men who asked him to show them the way to Sliofer's Hotel, which ho agreed to do. But before reaching tho hotel, near tho Union depot, they took hold of him violently and threatened to kill him if he said a word. They carried him and placed him in a caboose attached to a train of cattle, which left soon for Uenisou, whero they changed cars and went to Ht. Louis, and from theru to Cincinnati, whero they told tho littlo boy that they had sold their cattle. They took him on board a steamboat bound for tho upper Ohio Uiver, and which had to laud nt Muysliold, Ky., which is the home of Gussio's grandparents, nud which is only six. ty miles above Cincinnati. Tho boat had only gone a fow miles when tho engineer, seeing tho littlo boy walking about on the dock, handsomely dressed anil in charge of two rough-looking men, ap proached him and entered into a convcrsa. tion with him, asking him questions, when he soon learned that lio was tho grandson of Mr. McCurthy, at Maysfleld, whom ho know well. Tho two men no doubt, hearing tho conversation held betweu the engineer nnd littlo boy, became frightened, nnd when tho boat reached Angela, a distance of thirty miles, and made a landing, both jumped nshoro and disappeared. Tho engineer then took charge of Gussie and conveyed him to his grandparents at Maysneld. Bfforts will be made to discover tho parties who did tho kidnapping. Thirteen Men I.oal In a Gale.

He Is a Ken-, tucklan, whose right namo la Joseph Hardy; Is flno looking, of dark complexion, black mus tache, and about thlrlj-flvo years old, He has wandered all over tho States, and sprang Into no tice here by preaching at Hlbernla, a little town up the river, where he crested a great sensation. Ills preaching Is rambling, full of funny stories, jokes, and Interlarded with extravagant actions and anything else to attract attention. He Is now drawing unusually lurgo congregations at Hl bernla, and Is creating much excitement among both saints and sinners. There Is a division among church people. Some think, him grand, while others denounce him, aud a rupture la threatened. The queer part of It is thut beseems to care noth ing about remuneration, taking whatever Is given him. Ho startled the congregation a few days ago by breaking off In the middle of bis ser mou by jumping from a window and returning by the door, lo illustrate a point. He thinks any thing Is right that will sate souls; that old-sl)lo methods are out of date, and that ono has got to startle men out of their feellhg of security, lie Is willing to be laughed at If he can convert men, and Is evidently a good deal of un athlete and a muscu lar Christian. m m A tienuloe Joint Hnake.

This Is the true joint snake that baa often beeit tho subject of marvellous stories, such as that you might take one joint miles away and beat It into a jelly and that the head part would never rest till it found all stray pieces ami rejoined them. The above anake waa atxiut three feet lone (very large of the kind), and when struck it broke Into about a dozen pieces from a half to two Inches In length. About afoot remained attached to the head. Tho snake belongs to the lizard family, aud It la only the long tall that exhibits such Irlttleuess. The snake would undoubtedly live without the tall, and would hardly go looking around for It.

Ho confessed, in tho course of tho conversation, that ho was in St'ite Prison nt tho timo of tho Dexter murder for breaking into tho Nccdhain depot. Smith cannot provo an alibi by me," ho said. IIo then said that about four years ugo Cromwell told him tliat about live years pro vious to that he had been in Dex tor and Watorvillo and other places n Maine. That was about the time of the Dexter robbery. If tho accused are innocent, their chief chance of proving it is in showing nn alibi. But not many peo plo would be able, if called upon, to provo their whereabouts on a given days years ago. POLITICS IN BROOKLYN. Three Candidate In the Field for Mayor and Moro Coming.

H4y Tho surplus tinkerers are probably more Hbt aumetous even than the charter tinker--Hv en of this State. Their number is legion HgT and their suggestions embrace all sorts of HV nostrums for tho cure of tho evil of a pleth Kfr ora of idle money in the Government Bp vaults. Hp( But would it not bo unwise to crowd their Kf Botlons on Congress whon the solution of B,V: tne difficulty con bo found in two sentences R J Pay our dobts with the money wo have got) UKt that will dispose of the present surplus.

Greek meets Greek in those B games. Diamond cuts diamond. B, r The, series for the world's championship Hk thus far bos been most superbly contested. K The country has never witnessed better base E&, boll than in the four games already played in Hu: tho West. Tho scoro stands at present three B& to one in favor of Detroit But the sories is IR1 nbtf half played, and the games havo boon Hf) won by exceedingly narrow margins. Tho Kv Browns yet have an excellent ohanco to carry Bh off the pennant of victory. Bf, Though the metropolis has never posscssod B.r 'h championship, this fact does not mated HK ally lesson her interest. New York is too B& big for petty dlsgruntlement and local jeal BM iaiy.. She will watch the contest of tho B gladiators of tho diamond to Jay with Hr enthusiasm born of a broad-gauged lovo of a Hh& noble sport.

Hf. The Boston and Maine Boilroad bill, with a Hkj strong taint of corruption, paused the New Hk$ Hampshire Legislature yesterday. This is H only one of many steps in the aggrandizing Rfjv schemes of said corporation. H&C Time was when the railroads of Now B England formed a sort of democracy. They Eg' were admirably managed, and thero was a H healthy degree of competition. But a decided Kgk change has passed of lato over tho aspect of HT affairs. It is a great game now between the K& Boston and Maine, the Boston and Albany B&- nd the Old Colony companies. Competing Kjt Hues have been gobbled up and independent B branches and connections absorbed in all Hi1, directions. In several of the States the cor NkL porntions virtually own the Legislature.

AFBAID OP THE LIQHT. A prominent refiner said this morning that undue publicity had embarrassed tho plans of the proposed gigantic sugar trust. This is a bit of unconscious confession. Of course tho scheme will work hotter in tho dark. That is n characteristic of tho monop olistic spocies. But legitimate business prospers by pub licity. Healthy plants flourish in tho sun. It's a pity that the light was not turnod on early enough to blight the scheme THE LATE8T PAEIB SENSATION, Tho arrest of Gen. Bodlanoeh complicates tho situation in France. Ho apparently avails himself of every opportunity to pro voke tho hostility of the Government. Ho takes advantago of tho CAirxncL scandal to boost himself again into tho rango of the public eye. His crltioism of Gen. FxnaoN, the Minister of War, was cortoinly unprece dented and a breach of military discipline. But fro 'will gladly poso as a martyr. The rabid eltynont of Paris is inspired by such spectacles As to Gen. Cawaiiel, condemnation and puuishmont for his dishonorable traffio in tho decorations of the Legion of Honor havocomo swift and sovore. Ho is disgraced forovor. Ho will be forcod into permanent exilo. Tho scandal is certainly most discreditable to tho War Department of Franco. But tho promptness of the investigation and the celerity of tho prosocution is commondablo. Such vigorous moasurcB against corruption aro worthy of imitation. Meanwhilo, tho Germans aro enjoying tho sensation quite as much as the Parisians. TBINIxTB IMPORTED BEOTOB. The doughty Mr. Kknnxdt, President of tho St. Andrew's Socioty, avows that ho will noverrest content until ho upsets the law prohibiting tho importation of contract labor. A poor Scotsman recently came under the law, and was duly shippod back to the land of mist and heath or. Mr. Kknxedy. thinks that tho law equally applies to tho Bov. E. Wallpolb Wabben, the importod rector of Trinity Church. The matter sooms to 'turn on whether tho pastor is ailaborer. Now, it tho Bov. E. Wallpole Warren is a good rootor, he is cor tainly a laborer with on abundance of work to do. Among other things he should labor to roform tho harsh method of treating poor tenants sometimes adopted by the agoutsof tho Trinity corporation. But if he is not a laborer, then he is a man of lelsuro, and not a good rector. Mr, Kennedy seoms to have clinched his argument on both sides. A suit will be brought againBt tho Trinity Corporation, and the penalty of $1,000 will probably have to be paid. At all events, it will do no harm to disoourage the importa tion of clergymen. We have plenty of good material of our own. The Ohio Democrats cry for Gov. Hill. But why? Tlioy olooted Gov. Hoadlt by 13,029 plurality and n clear majority over all tho year beforo tho Presidential election of 1884. They ought to win easily in tho year before tho Presidential oloction of 1888 with an Administration platform and tho Federal patronago to help them. Mr. BiiEViTcu nays that tho ProgroBsivo Labor party thinks ef advertising for six smart young lawyer to toko its judicial nominations. The membership of tho party has probably been exhausted on tho other section of the ticket. Whilo Courts and Police Commissioners dally and Bhilly-shally over the George par ty's unquestionable right to tho appointment of Election Inspectors, valuable timo ispass ing and tho jewel of fair play is bedimmed. It is said that tho English manufacturers are to endeavor to couipeto with Americans in tho production of cheap watches. The French and Germans are kept busy with tho watch upon tho lthine. Mayor Beed, of Louisvillo, knocks out tho opposing Aldormon with his fiBts. Mayor Hewitt knocks them out with argumonU and buries them under vetoes.

From fA JticXwvmd irxff, The Gvinino World Is a new paper Issued from the office of the New York World, and Is an after noon edition of that Jonrnal. It la a slx-pago paper, sprightly and newsy, and In typography and general appearance closely rcscmblet the morning paper. It Is sold at one cent. From Hi SI. Lo"t Jif-tjxafc;... Tna ItviNiNo World, which made Us tint ap pearance In New York City yeaterday, acored a triumph with Its first number. Its bucccss was as complete and immcdlato as that of the Sunday Pott-Dispatch. It started off with a circulation of 111,000 and an ample share of advertisements. Fromtno Monmouth Iiimorrat, The World on Monday began tho publication of an evening edition. It la a 'success from the start. Over 111,000 copies of tho first ltaue were actually sold, and Tuesday's edition was over 115,000. It Is a wide-awake paper, and leaves Us evening con temporaries far In the rear. Tue World Is the moat enterprising paper In the country. From tht Itorhttttr roit-Eiprn. Tho evening edition of tho Now York World made Its appearance Monday and created quite a aentatlon In metropolitan Journalism, It Is said that 111,410 copies of the first number were printed and actually sold. If this be true, Tab Evinino World has achieved a wonderful success and aehlered It quicker than any other paper In Amer ica. From tho Warwick TaUty Diipatoh. Thero Is no mistake that Tue Evenino World Us a dalay, and that It will bloom successfully there s no doubt. The first number contains six pages, neatly printed and artistically Illustrated, all tor one cent. Tub Evenino World will be "Inde pendent of all parties, Influences and personal Interests, and fearless lu tho exposure of abuses." Tovanda (ra.) Brporttr Journal. Tho publisher of The World began Issuing an evening edition on Monday, and tho first Evenino World was as pretty and spicy a slx-pago dally as one would wish to see. Its groat circulation, 111,000, considered with the great circulation of tho morning edition, rataea this triple problem: Will Tub World take the earth, or will tho earth take Tm World, or both? From tho Boiton Qlobo. Although the first sheets of Tu b Evenino World In New York did not leave the presses until 8. B0 r. ii., the first day's sales aggregated over 111,000 copies. Everybody expected much of Thk Even ino World, but It proved to be a better paper even than waa anticipated. We hope and be lieve Tub World, with this enormoualy lncrcaaed power, will keep Ita promlae to fight alwaya for the ltlghtand agalnat the Wrong, and. we wlah there were more papera like It. From tht yttehurg JVw A very healthy babo was born In the newspaper world In Now York this week, It being an evening edition of the New York World, prlco 1 cent, which Drat appeared night before last, getting a circulation that day of over 111,400 copies. Last night Ub Issue ran up to 115,630. Such great success at the first jump Is all tho more wonderful when It Is known that New York was well auppllcd with penny ovenlng papers be foro that, but It does seem that Tub Would, un der Ub present proprietorship, la capable of any accomplishment. And long may It be I From tht Botto IliralJ, The new Evenino World of New York City con talna a large amount of entertaining news, pre sented In a highly attractive manner. Until qulto recently the evenlug field has been one which New York Journalists havo looked upon as hardly worth cultivating that Is to say, the great newspapers have been all murnlng papers, and the newspapers Issued In the afternoon have had but a relatively Btnall circulation. The enormous circulation In stantly gained by the World may bo due to the fact that previous efforts by New York Journalists to build up the circulation of an evening paper have not been properly directed, and that thero la an Immense field there that has been for a long timo waiting tor the proper cultivator. From Tv'day't II Frogrttto Itato-Amtritano. When Mr. Joseph Pulitzer prupnetor aud editor of The World on the 10th of May, lShg, bought that Journal from William 11. Hurlbcrt, as a representative of a society of capi talists, Us circulation only reached 87,S3 copies. From 1S83 to 1BST (that la lu four years and a few months) tho 8I,S3 copies had grown with marvel ous and amazing geometrical progression to S10.OOO of a dally edition, not to mention the special Sun day edition, which reachca 110,000. Many causes contributed to this success the lightning-like quickness Ingathering news, brill iant reporting of events, telegrams, an extraor dinary quantity of reading matter, battles fought In the name of the people and of publlo morula atfainst Aldermeu, the kings of Uuante, butlneaa, Ac. all of which battlea were won, the culprits for the moat part landing In Sing Sing; good business, management, and the constant aspiration gained and maintained, to serve and battle for the people with earnest sincerity. And all this la owing to the tact, Bhrcwducss and daring enterprise of Mr. Pulitzer, whose Iron will trans fuses Itself into every part of his gigantic enter prlae, from the managing editor to the omcc-boy, all of whom are most liberally paid, but at the same time subjected to military discipline. In short, Tub World la a financial and political power such aa has rarely been known In Journal ism, And now Mr. Pulitzer, not satisfied with the morning World, has Issued au Evenino World, which, judging from U success on the first day, will without effort be a worthy offspring of the morning edition, and will easily eclipse its evening contemporaries. The first number appeared on Monday and reached a circulation of 111,110 copies. The history of Journalism, of human, labor and enterprise records few such names as that of Mr. rulluer.and few triumphs like thatof Tub Wobld and Tub Evenino Wobld.

SHUT OUT OF CASTLE GAEDEN; TUB HOTEL BUTII RUNS FOUL OP THE IM MIGRANT RAILROAD POOL. For Procuring Cheap Tickets Outside the Combination Tor Two Arab Mrs. Una rr' Agent Is Denied the Privileges of the Garden An TJnnTHllInc Appeal to the Cuimiilloncra or llminlsmtloii. Tho Castlo Gordon Committeo of the Emi gration (joiumission held a closed mooting on Thursday afternoon, at which matters only of routine importance, it was said, wero dis cussed. Mrs. Carolino Gasser, who keeps tho Hotel Ruth, at 18 Greenwich street, ap peared before tho Commissioners and in a vory pathctlo manner implored them to Temovo the embargo which they four weeks ago placed upon her house. Vainly she has tried during all these weeks to have her difficulties with the Commission ers settled amicably, but at last, seeiug that her business and livlihood wore being mali ciously tor away from her, slio humiliated herself and made her appeal in person to tho Commissioners. They, howover, remained obstinate, and rofusod to rescind their order denying her agent admission to Castlo Garden. Four weeks ago two Arabs arrived at Castlo Gordon. Thoy woro destinod for Omaha, Neb., and not having sufficient money to nay their railroad faro over tho pool lines, they wore cast nsido by this grasping and illegal combination which holds Bway over Castle Garden. Tho runner who solicits hoarders for the Ruth saw them and persuaded them to go to his houso, agreeing to obtain them tickets for Omaha outside the Garden considerably loss less than asked for by tho pool. The man agreed, and, after paying Barnoy'Biglin's ex press agont 90 cents to take thrco buudles to tho hotel, they loft tho Gardon in company with tho runner. The following day the runner took tho Arabs to tho office of the Old Dominion Railroad, on Bowling Green, and obtained their tickets to Omaha for $23.75 each. Tho rato chargod by tho pool in tho Garden is $20, a saving to the immigrants of $2.25. This obtaining of tickets by runners or agencies not within the pool is objected to by tho Commissioners. Tho runner, of course, re ceives a commission from tho company, but notwithstanding that in many cnseB it is a decided saving to tho immigrants tho Com missioners deem it a pernicious practice. All the power of their machine-aided Agent Doane, is brought to bear to make an ox. ample of any one daring to purchase a ticket for an immigrant anywhere but at Castle Garden. When the two Arabs returned to the Garden, preparatory to going West, an old missionary in tho Garden, who makes a prac tice of booking all the Arabians who como to this country, got them to complain to the Commissioners about tho runner of tho Ruth booking them on outside agencies. He nlitn nllpund that thn rtinnor rnnreHented that ho was from a hotel with which he had no connection. The Arabs had no complaint to make about thoir treatment. They wero not ill-treated or defrauded out of any money, but were treated in a kind and humane manner. On this complaint tho runner was banished from the Garden, for booking passengers on outside n"encies. Tho Commissioners were not co' to "'h thiB punishment, but took a ay tho boar 'tr-house licenso from Mrs. d ssor," for on act of indisorotion on the part of i.v. t ntati o, for which, proba bly, she wns not ..voimtablo. Binco then the woman has tried to have her privileges restored, but tho vindictive Commissioners remained obstinate and refused to listen to her appeal. At last, seeing that no redress could be galnod from tho Commissioners, she to-day appealed to an Evenino World reporter to give ventilation to the manner in which she is boing persecuted, which Bhe considers is a gross outrage. "For over thirty-five years," she said, tho Hotel Ruth has been doing business in Castle Garden. My father, whoiB now dead, formerly was tho proprietor. Ho always en deavored to act Justly with all immigrants who came to our house, and it is my aim to follow in, his footsteps. We have never been ac cused of acting unjustly to any person, and I do not think the Commissioners of Emigra tion ever received a word of complaint from any immigrant who has come to our house. Since our expulsion my business has fallen away to olmost nothing, and unless the Com missioners relent I am at a loss to know what I shall do. I desiro no sympathy, but only that my caso bo treated in a fair and inipatial manner." Armed with tho poor woman's story of her treatment. The Evenino Would reportor called upon Commissioner Hauselt, whoso sympathies are always with tho poor and op prossod, and asked him why the woman's licenso was taken away. Ho said: "Soma of the Commissioners deem it a crimo for a runner of a bonrding-houso to book immi grants on agencies outside of Castle Garden. This man haB been accused of this, and in cousequouco has been denied admission to tho Gardon. This is, as far as I know tho only complaint mado against the man. Tho Iioubo which ho represents has nhvuys been a thoroughly reliable one. and immigrant s going there have always been t routed kindly and humanely. I have not suspended the man, and she will have to submit her case to tho Commissioners beforo anvthiug cau bo dono in the matter. This will all require some time. Officer Edward Sullivan, of tho Mayor's Marshal Office, whoso duty it is to inspect and look after tho licenses of the boarding house, keepers, waB also seen by au Evenino World reportor, Ho said: "I know Mrs. Gossor anil can vouch for the fact that sho is n thoroughly reliable and honest business woman.

Trying to Get Hold of the Itett or Inoffensive Peru. The steamer City of Pueblo, just in from Panama, has landed a Bmall army of South and Central Americans in New York. Mr. M. O'Dwyer, of Rio Cuarto, in tho Argentine Republic, comes from a country about which tho nverogo New Yorker knows little, but in which, if ho only knew it, he has a deep interest. Large quantities of fluid extract of beof are shipped hero by Mr. O'Dwyor's neighbors on tho pampas, or great plains, which stretch towards the Cordilleras from the wonderful city of Buenos Ayres. Toxans ship their beef fresh-killed, and the South American cowboys and ranch ers, who have Rio Cuarto for their headquar ters, hope some day to compete in that way in the metropolitan meat markets of the world. But just now they can only export the concentrated extract, hoofs, horns, hides and tallow of the countless herds on their great ranges. Rio Cuarto is 200 miles from Buenos Ayres, the capital and seaport. The people there take a lively interest in the peril of their neighbors, the Peruvians, at the hands of the Chilians. They think it natural for Peru's cause to find friends in New York. Chili, they say, is undoubtedly trying to absorb Peru, having already gotten a big slice off her southern territory and all of Bolivia's coast-line. But the Argentine Republicans don't think the rest of tho civilized world is going to acquiesce in Chili's grab-game. Sold Out Ills Hupply nt the Station. SPZCIAL TO THE EVENINO WORLS.l KKTroitT, N.

Tho Kfrl crime for which ho paid tbo penalty was at H first shrouded in mystery, but subsequent Kff developments brought out tbo whole story, HJf It was on tho 39th of May last, at 0 o'clock If nt night, that William Echols, of IUbnn Gap B&u Junction, Habersham County, Go., was on Bi his way home from Mt. Airy, when Charley H r Edwards, colored, met bim, one mile below HnP Mt, Airy, and with a 82-colibre Smith t Wes- R$ son pistol, shot Echols dead. fc'' He was not satisfied with one shot, bnt re- Bj7 peated it four times. Edwards told one of HV he important witnesses that after ho had V', shot his victim tho first time Echols lifted Rfcfe' lila hands and exclaim od hi Oh, Charley, what have I done that you Hr should treat mo in this way BC Edwards thought he heard some one com- B'". Ing, so he dragged the dying man out of the B$- toad and down tho hill, and then riddled his Hi' body with bullets. Not satisfied with this, ho Hf took, a club and beat tho dead man's brains Kf Edwards was arrested immediately after tho Hi' murder, and on circumstantial evidence, was E?n placed In Habersham County Jail. K' Tho circumstances were so strong that no Bm' one doubted his guilt. The fact that ha had H&' made murderous threats and that ho was Kt missing at tho time of tlie murder, and Kk stronger still, that his shirt, trousers and hat Hs were spattered with blood, all told tho story Kb' of the deed. But again, ho told ono of tho K prisoners who was in the some cell that tho EL pistol with which he killed Echols was buried HK tinder his house, and on examination it was Bft found where he had put it and showed traceg Kfoi of blood. TIiIb evidence was enough, but BL what was still stronger, Charley Edwards says K that be himself committed the deod. S-BW4? ununursaay morning, tue utu inn., mo Hk town of OlarksviUe was orowded to hear the WmtL trial. At 8.80 the Sheriff and deputy led tho B&f prisoner into tbo court-room. A great many Hk talesmen had been subpwnacd, but before Hl the regular twonty-four had been exhaustod K: twelve men were selected to bcbI his fate. As B Edwards had no attorney tho State appointed kJ n pno and the case was soon opened. fe The evidence was so overwhelming that all Bfn the witnesses wore not sworn. The attorneys I did not argue tbo case, for to speak for or Hf against was useless. Judge Welboru, in uiak- K' ins his charge to tho jury, said B& If you find the defendant guilty, then write H& your verdict We, the jury, find tho dofeud- Hnu ant, Charley Edwards, Rullty. But from tho HKf evidence you should doBire to imprison him t; for life, write your verdict i We, tho jury, HM' find the defendant guilty with recoinmcuda- B&, tion to moroy. t In a very short time tbo verdiot was rcn- s?' dered with more emphasis than the Judgo re- Hjf Oulred: "We, the jury, find the defendant, HKr Charley Edwards, guilty of murder in the HP first dogreo." H& This sealed the fate of the poor wretch, but B,', to him it was no surprise, for lie know what H& bis doom would bo, and for months had b prayed that God might forgivo him. In fact, Put' Vrhen tho sentence of death was passed upon BwC him on tho following Saturday, he seemed to Brl, be better satisfied t and while In his cell, with Hjft chain around his neck, the jailor soys ho H& seams more content than before the trial. Hv The doomed wretch requested tho ordi. Bjlv. nary, W. D. Hill, to come to his coll and al- HS lw him to make his will. He gavo ono of IBfc his town lots at Mt. Airy to his adopted sou, Hpv and the other, with his dwelling and por- Hri eonal property, to his wifo and only child. B Charley Edwards, previous to tho titna that Bvf be commenced to visit Mrs. Lizzie Kiuisey, KV was considered to be of very good character. Kfr being accused, one time, of stealing a pistol Hrii. from J. W. House, while employed by the B. Northeastern Railroad. This pistol proved Ki' to be the ono which shot William Echols, and K&r the property of one of our fellow townsmen. Ky Edwards was twenty-six years of age, and P born in Jackson oounty, Georgia. Hpf- AVUliam Echols was a man of very good mjft' character and of some property. He was born Hk in this county and has uover been looked on H as a bad man. It is true he visited the house Hf of lizzie Kim&ey, but whon he found Charley Kf Edwards was visiting tho sanio house he tola Kf' his hrpther he would never go there again. R Mrs. Lizzie Kimsey is a citizon of Mt.

OF MONTANA. 1118 WONDEUFUL BT1UKE IN THE GOLD MIXES ANtfSUBSEQUENT VICISSITUDES. Ha waa Iadaatriona, bnt for Twenty Years Always Seemed to be Out of Luck Jllcb Friends Htaltcd Illm at tba Itlfht mo ment and He was Hooa Worth Millions A Hrmarkable Hlorr. Way back In '61 or thereabouts, when the glitter of gold attracted to the hills of .Montana n horde of prospei tors, and resulted In the settlement of the town of Helena, thero camo a hopeful young Irish man named Tom Cruse. Ills heart was aa light as Ills pockets and he became one In the mad hunt which sent many men to their graves, and made others rich beyond their most extravagant hopes. Tom Cruse, however, didn't do one thing or the oilier that is, ho didn't die, nor did he get rich Just at that time. Ho was Industrious enough, but luck never seemed to attend Mm. Dig and delvo he did day lu and day out, month In and month out, but his pick turned up nothing but barren rock. Of that happy, sanguine temperament possessed by the majority of bis countrymen, Tom tolled on, honing that each day would bring him the wealth ho had been seeking so long, and for twenty years that hope never deserted him. Ho never knew wbcro the next meal was coming from after he bad finished breakfast, bnt he worked slong, sometimes on bis his own account and sometimes for others, with as much vim as he had on tho day he turned his first shovelful of earth. One day, In tho summer ot 1883, Tom was prospecting in a perfunctory sort of a way near Marysvllle, about twenty miles from Helena, when his practised eye detected on the rldgc of a hill along which ho was sauntering, the unmistakable evidences of gold. It was u vein running parallel with the ridge, and Tom knew that It must extend down Into the earth. Without telling any one of bis discovery he slaked off the claim and went through the necessary form to make himself secure. Then he called upon the wealthy banking firm of Ulrshfleld ft Co. and told them what he bad found, and that he believed he had at last struck gold. The bankers were slightly Incredulous, but they agreed to give the pros pector a "grub stake," so Tom set manfully to work alone and unaided to dig out the wealth he felt sure was concealed In that hill. It was Impos sible to get at tho gold from the top, and the only way to reach It was to tunnel. This was a tedious process for one man to uudertake, but Tom was made of determined stuff and In he started. It was uecessary to remove the dirt from the tunnel by the barrow-load, and the further the prospector got In the slower became his progress. It took him Just eighteen mouths to get Into that hill far enough to strike tha vein, but bis faith and per severance were rewarded when one morning his pick struck pay dirt. Straightway he hied himself to the banks and told them of his luck. The next thing waa to dis pose of the mine. Tom despatched an agent to London with Instructions to make a sale or form a company to work the mine. The agent waa given Blx months In which to fulfill his mission. Mean time It began to be noised about Helena the rich find made by old Tom Cruse, who had named his mine the Drum Lummon, after his birth-place In Ireland. The Messrs. Hlrthricld saw that an un usually rich vein bad been struck, and they offered Tom half a million dollars for his clulm. The of fer was refused, because, aa Tom Bald, It would not be keeping faith with hla agont. Five months elapsed, und nothing had been heard from Lon don. Then the Hlrahrlolds Increased their bid to seven hundred and fifty thou sand and then to a million dollars. Tum my refused again. Ho would wait, he said, until thu six months were up and would then decide A few days before the time had expired the long-oxpected message came. The agent In London had sold the mine fur a million and a half. In a fow weeks be arrived In Helena with a million dollars In cash und half a million in stock of tho new mining company. Tommy took the million In money and deposited It with his friends, the Hlrshtlelds, who had staked him when he needed money most. Thostook he kepi In his own possession- The deposit of a million dollars In u Helena bank, you must understand. Is a more noteworthy transaction than a similar deposit here would he, because money In Helena brings, or did lu 'Kl, from is to W per cent. so It waa a tidy re turn tor tho lllrshfleld's confidence. Wealth dtil not change Tommy Cruse's character one Jot. Ho was Just aa kindly, Just aa honest, as ever. Ills personal appcarauco, how over, became slightly altered. He purchased a magnificent broadcloth ooat with ample skirt snd a velvet vest. The vest was the pride of his heart, and overybody In Helena knew H. A pair of boots with very high heels were the additional extravagances, and, with bis black Derby set Jauntily on his bead Tommy waa the pride of the gulch. He la si 111 there, and I hear la contemplating marriage.

It U Not Mo Txtng Hluce Hupemtltlon Had a Btrong Hold In Monthern Indiana. rVon I. Vnay (n.L) K.r.ll!.. About sixty years ago many of the people resid ing In the neighborhood ot East Enterprise wero possessed of a delusion that witches were a reality, and that a number of their neighbors were full fledged witches, possessed of remarkable powers, eeu to the saddling and bridling a man and with sharp spurs ride him all night over tbo worst roads a distorted mind could imagine. In thu morning tho poor man would bo so tired nnd soro that ho could bardly move. At other times the housewife wuuld churn half a day and would not get a particle of but ter. Tho only remedy was to take an old horseshoe that had been worn on the left hind foot of a bald faced horse and heat It hot and drop It Into the churn, which was pretty certain to expel the terrible witch, One who tried the experiment said: Wheu I dropped tho red-hot shoe Into the churn I heard something run off tho root of the bouse, and I smelt hair Just as sore as you are nre born, ami In Ave minutes I had a churn nearly full of butter. The next day I saw the woman that I helleted had bewitched the butter, and her hair was crisped on ono side lu the very shape of a horse-shoe. If the abnto remedy failed, the next thing to do was to draw a life sized picture of the sup posed witch aud null It upon a tree and theti run a silver bullet out of u silt er dollar and shoot the linage. This last waa considered a complete cure. One of the ardent bclleters In witches, a man In the prime of life, possessed of fair sense In other matters, told In our hearing what a trying ordeal he had passed through a few eveulngs before. He had bten to tlslt the sick, und waa returning about 10 o'clock through the fields, often climbing high fences. Finally, as he got up on a high tcn-raU fence, with one leg thrown over the top rail, he saw standlug on the other aide one who he knew to be a" witch." She said nothing, but put a spell on htm that rttcted him to the spot, and he said be was aa speechless as was Lot's wife when she was turned Into salt. When daylight came the witch tanlshcd, uud he got oter the fence aud went home. He says the top rati w as a t ery sharp one, and be didn't get over Uie soreness for u month. When the hens failed to hatch their eggs It was all laid on the witches. The witches always did their worst work ou Friday. If thu rail fences fell down when they were covered with sleet und Ice, the witches were blamed with It. If a calf got choked with apples or potatoes, the witches wire responsible. It was u fact not to be wondered at that everyunc of these bclleters lu witches be lieved the "world to be nat." Many of them would have hung the witches, as their tgnoraut forefathers did In an early day. If they had been possessed of tho power. Two of the men swapped wives for a mouth or so, ami It w as all laid at tho door of those terrible witches. ejenutor Stanford's l'asslon for Homes. IC IXIthin IAf Co,viopoUta. Stanford's only passion Is for fine horses, and this taste he has gratified on his estate at l'alo Alto In the heart of the Santa Clara valley. There he has a large number of One thoroughbred horses, and when he goes down to this country home It Is his pleasure to sit In a large chair In the centre of a ring and see his favorite young flyers brought out fur trial. It waa while watching one of these fast trotters an animal which had the tnormous stride uf twenty-three feet that the millionaire con ceived the idea that In some part of hU course the horse must entirely clear the ground and havo all four feet In the air.

About $40,000 were spent on these experiments; but they overthrew all previous notions on the subject, and the work which Stanford had written and published, entitled "The Horse In Motion," Is a valuable contribution to science.

HUttEl TWlT .1 B-rt"r n'lWttaf itiSUH jftftii'lil M'NISH AND THE DRUMMER. He Hailed Into Hint After tbo Drummer Had Floored .lllimlril Hlavln. JfVem lAc iiaUimvrt AnTltan. A well-dressed man, apparently In the thirties, with dark hair snd a thin face, walked Into an es tablishment where leeches are raised and sold a few weeks ago snd asked to have several put on his neck- He was accommodated. While seated in the chair, and while calculating on the chances of having any blood left In that part of his anat omy, a young man who has done many a lively lurn at song-and-dance, walked In und engaged the proprietor's assistant In conversation. The song-and-dance man took a survey of the features of the mini who had first entered, and leaning over to the proprietor of tho place, whispered lu his ear: I'll be dogged If that don't look like Hlavln, the minstrel. The man who was furnishing up a grand ban quet for four leeches overheard the whispered con versation, and said: "lam llob Hlavln." The song-aud-dstice man, the proprietor of the Slace aud his usslstsnt wero great admirers of llob lavln, and were delighted to know that It was he, aud that the prospects of a good long stay In the leech place were first-class. Hob Hlat In talked familiarly with everyone In the place, although suffering some pain. He said that he had come lo Baltimore last Wednesday, ac companied by his wife, to bo treated for neuralgia. The best physicians In Chicago had been treating him. but he decided to return to his old home and put tils rase Into the hands of llaltlmorc's most re nowned physician. He had Just paid the doctors call and was told to have the leeebca put on his neck. Slavln then grew restless, and asked tho assistant to bring him six of tho best cigars he could get. anil handed him 15. Twenty-five-cent cigars were the best to be found In the neighbor hood. Hlavln I handed each of those present a cigar and lighted his own. How about that little dlltloulty between your contortionist. MeNUti, and u drummer, a short account of which was published lu the Ualtlmorc papers, Our troupe was stopping at a hotel In Chicago In which thero wero a number of drummers. Their table and ours wero near each other. When the drummer came In and noticed ua he said: 'There come those hungry actors; look out for them.' I replies that we were about as good as the drummer "und paid the same rate at the office. I also offered to wsger $loo that the drummer could not order a course dinner properly. Tho arst;hlngl knew I lay up In a corner, with my senses pretty well gone. McNIsh, who is us active us n cat, walked all over that drummer's neck In about set en sec onds. After ho had pretty thoroughly performed a contortion act on the drummer's neck, he told bun that If he Old not feel satisfied he would come around tho noxt afternoon and do a matinee 'Silence and Fun' skit all over his shins. The drummer left thu hotel when he heard that there wero six others In tho troupe yet to hear from, Including tbe stout basso singer and the Inter locutor. Slavln was palo and bis face showed tho effects of his painful ailment. He wore light pants of a broad checker-board plaid, (lowered vest and dark coat. He will meet the otber members of tbe min strel organization In a few days lu I'ennsyltania. SOUTHERN PROVINCIALISMS. !Inny of Them Are tiood Old Anglo-Saxon Inheritances. From fAf JV Orltamt IHcayun. E. V. Iioblnson, a Mlchlgander, travelling for the first time through the country districts of Ten nessee and Kentucky, llnds many things strange and peculiar. Accustomed to the provincialisms and neighborhood slang of his own sections of the country, he Is greatly astonished at the dialectical peculiarities of the peoplo among whom he has been sojourniug. Writing lately to the Dowagtac (Mich.) Times, ho thus gives expression to his sur prise: Thoy say Ally, for a young marc; gear, for har ness; traces, for tugs; shafts, for thills; bucket, for pall; skillet, for spider; trick, for almost any nondescript apparatus; snack, fur lunch; carry, for load or take; tote or pack, fur carry; honey, for dear one; smack, for suauk; howdy, for how do you do; you all, for you In the plural; evening, for afternoon; night, for evening: sugar tree, for maple; pap, for father; mammle, for mother; Bcotch the wagon, for putting a block under the wheel. It Is odd to hear them say carry your horse to water, and to my little son, carry your pappy to dinner. Country places have many queer names, as Flat foot, ltlngueck, Nlggerhead, Pinch Imsly, Lloksklllet, I'ossumtrot, Hllpup und 1'lncb gut. These Teqnessco and Kentucky provincialisms, so far from being mero vulgarisms, are In many cases standard words of English parentage like the people who use them. "Filly," for Instance, of Danish origin, was used by Shakespeare and Addi son. "Gear" Is good Anglo-Saxon and refers particularly to horse trrpplngs mode of leather, while harness," which Is French, was originally used to denote tho defensive armor anciently worn by soldiers. It Is expressly so used in the author ized translation of the lllble.aB may be seen In the sei oud bonk uf Chronicles, where the death of King Ahub Is iiurruted.he having received an arrow Bhot lu battle, through the Joints of his harness. In the word "rug" Is seen tho Anglo-Saxon usage, while "trace" la from the French, but originally Latin. It Is not likely that horses were used lu llrltaln for drawing wheeled carriages until Introduced by the Itoiniins. Tho word "trace" cannot be objected to on any grounds. "Shaft" and "thill" aro both good Kugllsh words of ancient lineage. "Snack" Is originally Danish and means food snatched and eaten In a hurry. "Lunch "Is of Welsh orlglu and signified a chunk or lump of food bw allow ed w lth difficulty or choked down. Doth are good words in uny English usage. "Spank" U Anglo-Saxon, derived from span, the breadth of thu hand, und la used fur a blow with the open hand. "Smack" Is also Anglo-Saxon, meaning to kiss with u loud noise. Smack refers rather to the nnlse than to tbo blow. From these observations It appears that the English-descended population of thu States pre serves tu the rural districts tho older forms of the language lu considerable purity. In cities, or where thero la a large Influx of foreigners, there has been much Injection of foreign slang In to thu vernacular. Iu Luulaluua French Idioms and provincialisms crop out everywhere among thu LuglUh-speaklng clusscs. A Horrible Trade. Ttirii Iteipatth to lontlon Tt4tjtapt There hus been uf late a steady Import of etifs a? jatte, or meudlcauts who have lost the use of their ower limbs, luto France from bpaln. Prefects ot the iMiulh-Western Departments have accordingly been Instructed to take efficient measures for the prevention of this peculiar traffic, which has for a long time been carried on with Impunity. The niu rt attract more attention from philan thropists and charitable people lu Paris than thu blind, the paralytic, or the maimed. They drag themselves along In little cars, and some of them make as much us lo francs u day by their energetic solicitations of the passers-by. There aro even what are called mOri'iues or manufactories of crippled mendicants, Just as there are establish ments for the training of acrobats and tight-rope dancers; und tbo miscreants who practice the calling of providing maimed beggars fur the Paris market uud making capital out of them are inure numerous than would be supposed. These people pay no or fio francs for an Infirm child to Its poor, at arlclnus or uufcellng parents. They begin with It when H is about ten tears old, and tie Us legs underneath Its body. The legs are then bunduged with leather thongs, which utter awhile, and wheu there Is not much danger of gangrene, uru squeezed uutll the tltalltt of the nether limbs flows Into the bodv. aud the child Is unable any longer to walk. When this consummation bus been arrived at the rul ds jatir is ready for work In Paris or some other large city. What the un fortunate i reaturu suffers at the hands of tbe Inhu man monsitrs who carry on this abominable tralflu is worse thin anything that could hate be fallen buttle or Ollv er Tw 1st in their darkest day s. They arc fed ou weak soup, and are obliged to ply their trades lu tho depth uf winter, being beaten by their hard musters If they fall to returo home without the regulation amount of eleemosynary donations. M. Levalllant'a circular to the Pre fects has only come In time, and It is to be hoped that It win have the effect of stamping out the abominable trade altogether. Itrtrnsed Atrr Ten Years. rrom Mi i'AllaJ.'jUa n.i.) William Weyuetb, a twenty-slx-year-old cotn mlsslou merchant, whose home is at JWI East Norrls street, posed as an avenger before Magis trate Ladner yesterday. When Weyneth waa a boy be w orked for llcnjamln J. Weaiherby, a far mer at Tedrlcklown, N. J. and ho says tho horny handed granger made his boyhood life miserable by bis cruelly. Tuesdsy afternoon, sfter waiting ten years, Weyneth, who was not altogether a shining ex s tuple of temperance, met the farmer at Front a,nd Callow bill streets and proceeded to wipe out old scores. He knocked Weaiherby down, blackened bis eyes snd chewed off a portion of one of bis ears. A seventh District policeman dragged the young man away from tbe tyrant of his childhood days and took him to the staflug-house. .Yesterday Magistrate Ladner committed Weyneth to prison ou a charge of nuyhem. v IA2.vUisf"H "M sarVrllKlssBBudR 'iVMsfiEjUmtUkmPrali jlsBnfr'JLl fllOOM CHANGED TO JOT. A Cheerful Hoy llrlgbtcn. Up a tlraupy Car load of People. (rroM ll MUii A'rMt.J Car No. 60 of the People's Passenger Hallway about 4. S3 yesterday passed up Eighth street from Chestnut. The horses plodded along, heads down, legs shambling, looking about as miserable as borses can look after long service dragging street cars. The driver stood grumpily at his post, every little while flicking bis beasts sullenly with the whip. Among the passengers a weazen-faced woman of thirty-fit e scowled moodily at an earth-tilled flower-pot she held In her lap. Very prob ibly she wus thinking what a fool she Had been not to throw the dirt out before entering the cur, for she would occasionally pick out a lump, crush It 111 her lin gers and scatter the dust over the floor. lleslde her was u pretty girl Willi a red hat and big gray eyes, bho, too. wus frownlug. A mighty pretty frown it waa, too, and became her. Her gray eyes were fastened on a letter, written In blue Imlelllblc pencil, and she read aud re-read It for It was short till the frown grew deeper and her little mouth was all curled up In a pucker of scorn. Opposite was a stout old gentleman, who fidgeted tils feet and looked grumpy nlso, and muttered al Intervals: "D that corn." 1 ho conductor stared nngrlly ut the woinuu with tbe flower pot und watched her lining his car floor with dirt. Everybody wus grumpy, etcrybody showed II, and certainly a more dejected cur uud passengers nuver approached Market street. At thut point car No. fed stopped to take on three passengers. They were u young man, young inan'B wife and young man's baby. There was no seat for the wife. '1 ho old gentleman, still using very strong language to his corn, rose and gave her his place. Mamma took It, babr sat on ber lup und papa looked at baby and smiled. A-u-u-u-h I" shouted baby lu a long, delicious crow. All the passengers looked up, ull the pas sengers fron ned at babv and all the nassengcrs re sumed their occupation of looking us grumpy us possible, l'upa leaned over, chucked baby under the chin nnd iiiummu smiled nt buby lu particular nnd every ono in general. Then baby evolved a continuous gurgle ot baby laughter and kicked out Its legs In Infantile joy. HUH the conductor frowned, still the pretty girl frowned and still the rest of tbo passengers frowned. They were In car No. 80 to be miserable, and were determined that wretched ness should not be spoiled by such a small thing as a happy baby. Hut baby didn't see It In thst light. It kicked und crowed and laughed and gurgled till the pretty girl put away the letter, and tho scarlet-faced woman of thlrty-nve stopped crush ing dirt lumps, and tho old gentleman left off cursing his corn, and the horses backed up, and tho driver forgot to touch them up. Tbe con ductor camo lu, collected a fare, smllcir aud actually winked at baby. The old gentleman asked If baby was a boy or girl, and learned It was a girl. Car No. 60 went along with a rush and a sway, uud by the time It reached Fatrmount avenue, where baby got off, there was not a happier or livelier set of passen gers on the whole People's Passenger Hallway. THE rARBON KNEW A TRICK. A Tale of tbe Hays When Moustaches Were Un.ru In Dostou. Vovt tht Botlon JYaiuerft. So Imperative Is fashion that now one must give a reason for appearing with a smoothly-shaven face, whereas In the days when tho Listener was qulto young one had to give a reason for wearing a moustache. Those were the days when mous taches were scarcely worn except by foreigners and by military officers, and even by them but rarely. For an American In civil life a moustache was a complete disguise. Tbe Listener remem bers the case of a young gentleman of Doston who went Into tbe ministry aud took a church In some thriving town down towards Capo Cod. He had been, prior to his call to theological pur suits, extremely fond of the drama, and the QldTremont Theatre was hla favorite haunt. Ho could not entirely get oter the old hankering for the theatre, and one time when he came to Doston he so far yielded to temptation as to put on a false mustache and go to tee Trcmont Theatre, where he spent an evening In entire delight. As he was coming out, however, ho met some old Boston friends, who recognized him In spite of his dis guise, and Baluted him by name, with lookB of w ondor In their faces. He had no notion of being Identified, however. It Is only the flrst step that costs, and the young parson had taken that. "Pardon, xiientlcmen," he Bald, with a pro found bow; "votyousayT I no splk Ingllss vary velll" They apologized and passed on. They might have known, of course, thut only a foreigner would wear beard on his upper lip! And the mus tached clergyman was safe. ii i A literary Curiosity. JVom tht J'rotbhnc Journal, A literary curiosity la on exhibition In one of the down-town barber shops In this city that deserves a respectful examination. It Is not a first folio of Hhakcspcaro nor an Eliot Indian Bible, but Is rarer than either of these, though less elaborate. It Is simply a Blgn, on which the owner refers to his premises, not as thu tonsortal Btudlo or theso hair-dressing parlors "or us an apartment or an establishment of any kind, but, of all things In the world, as "this shop." It has excited consider able udmlratlun, and should be vlstted by exery body before "barber shops" become utterly extinct. Friends of tbe Proplr.
