A number of coal miners from tho Second and Fourth pools were in the city yesterday searching for em ployment. Thoy report that tho condition of the miners is fast becoming critical, and there is now but little expectation among tho men of securing any work in tho banks, and n large number aro moving awav. Thoro ore between 7,000 and 8,000 miners in tho Monon gahela J'alley, and during tho last three months not more than 3,000 have secured a fortnight's steady work. The reason of this is that when tho river falls below a naviga. ble stage coal cannot bo shipped, and as coal raining is tho only business of tho Mononga hela Valley, everything is paralyzed. Not a coal boat has left l'lttsburg since June 20 last. Tho drought sinco then 1ms al lowed tho river to fall so low that no empty craft could reach the pits. Consequently, nearly all tho pits had to shut down. In the neighborhood of Elizabeth tho miners appear to be in a worso plight than at any other river point. The shutting down of tho mines has Btognatcd'husiuess nnd tho little stores with which the minors dealt have been in a bad way, because of their inability to collect any money. m STEEL-WORKERS' SCALE ALMOST READY. Increase of 10 Frr Cent, to be Asked For Men and Mnnnrartuters Ftatlsflcd. SPECIAL TO THE WORLD. PiTTBBtJno, Nov. 22. Tho steel-workers' new scale for 1888, which is to go into effect on Jan. 1, isnbont ready tobe taken to the manufacturers to be signod. It governs tho wages of 8,000 men who belong to tho Amal gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers of America. In tho scale for 1888, an increaso amounting to about 10 per cent, all around will bo asked for calls lor work to be paid for by tho hour or day, which is a movement towards doing away with tho contract system moro thau the one job system. Tho iron-workers' Bcale is never signed until July 1. Tho January scale for the steel men has been carefully re vised, and a fixed price for wages by tho ton nnd day has been so arranged that every workman in a stool mill outBido of common labor has been providod for. Thcro has nearly always been a spocial sealo for steel, workers, but it only embraced little more than half the skilled work in a steel mill. Tho first stop to thoroughly roviso tho Btoel-workers' scale was taken at tho time of tho trouble at tho Mingo Junction Steel Mill. The scalo now has been so carefully made that tho men are all satisfied with it, and tho manufacturers have not been able to find any great fault with it. It is so accurately gotten up that it is impossible' for the Knights of Labor to revise or make anything of a scale like it. That has been the main point aimed nt. Tho Amalgamated Association has formed new sub-lodges in steel mills, where hereto fore thero have been none, and whore they have existed and wore partially or altogether dissolved they have been reorganized but o very w horo tho members hav e been all noti fied that those who are Knights of Labor must abandon that order by the 1st of April next year, and in tho mean time become mem bers of tho Amalgamated Association.

Both men went to work rather cautiously and in tho opening rounds of tho buttle little real lighting was done. In tho fourth round ono or two terriflo blows wero interchanged nnd in thn bouts up to thn elnenth, while thn sclonco displayed was of high order, tho men awdded any punishment. Ah soon as timo was called in tho eleventh round ltydor sprang like n tiger for lireen, but tho "bruiser" stopped him nnd laid him low. Tho blow did its work. Poor little Kyder's eyes wero n sad sight. In tho twelfth round fierce fighting com meneed, although both men appeared fresh. Kydcr slapped Brcen in tho face with his left hand and ,'ao him nn upper cut which seemed to tell. Ho stnggered nnd fell. Uyder wns nbout to hit him when his rocowIh cried out, "Don't George," while tho opposing pnrty cried Foul, foul." Tho referee said Kyder did not hit Urnou when lio was down, anil tlicreforo ho could not allow- it. After a few passes time was called. Tho next round was one continuous show or of blows and honors wero ensy for both sides. The fourteenth round was as bad as thn previous one, Kyder getting little tho best of it. Tho next and fifteenth round was also in thn Brookliuo boy's fnor, but the six teeuth round turned tho tables. Hreen started in great shnpo, nnd gavo a swinging loft-hander for Kyder's right ear. Ho followed this up with a right hand upper-cut, knocking thn llrooklltio fenther-weight off his feet. The latter could do nothing, iiud would havo been laid low had not time been called. His seconds caught him and carried him to his chair. By tho aid of brandy and lemons they braced him up, and when the baritone, voice of tho refereo yelled J'ime ho wns on hand. They then clinched nnd a brenkaway was ordered, which was immediately complied with. Another clinch followed by Kyder being floored nnd a few punishing blows from the bruiser from Chicago and thu round fininhod.

Tho next round ho followed up tho somo tactics, a la John L. Sullivan, and it was thought that all was up witli Breon. Hero bets woro mode in favor of Kyder 8100 to .80 and soon 8100 to iJ70 was given. As tho round closed tho liottiug was on Kydor, with no takers. In tho twentieth round both men camo up rather groggy, but still did somo fine light ing. This round closed with honors easv. Tho twcnty-llrst and twenty-second rounds wero similar, while tho twenty-fourth round wns hot. Tho men appeared gono, nnd it wns thought on impossibility for them to continue. Tho fighting appeared monotonous, and ns the fight was to a finish they could not call it it ll HI W. Whon tho twenty-fifth round was opened tho blows wero showered upon each other nnd Kyder wns knocked against tho ropes. Tho iirten pnrty claimed a foul," but it was not allowed. That set them to clamoring. "Oh, what robbery 1" and other such exclamations, mingled with oaths, wero heard by tho friends of tho Chicago man. Neither of tho mon paid any attention to this. Soon they clinched and broke away, and then thn refereo stopped thorn. Gentlemen," said ho, I cannot afford to bo known in this mattor, therefore this uoiso must bo stooped."

"What you said in Tin: Wom.ii yesterday wos Just right. Those rules aro only for tho amateurs, such contests us thoy have nt Ht. Jmucs's Hnll, in London. Why, if that fellow had been fighting mo under London prize ring rules I'd have beat him in it half hour in spite of his running nwny. McAulilVc is tho greatest cur I ever saw.

Mitchell wns it good gnmo follow, nud while ho didn't rush in foolishly, as you know, for vou was my tiine-keepor in that light, he fought like a man. McAulifTo was tho worst I ever saw. Why he'd cry I was gouging him when I lift him m the eve with my fist. Tho idea of mv biting him 1 I hnvon't gotnnvtteth. Ho butted mo onco a good onu between tho eyes, and to look tint and not git that again I screwed my hiad pifca a bit, and then it was ho cried he was bit. Thn report in Titr.

I was kicked in the shins, too, in my opponent's comer." "McAulilfo talks, ery loud now about wanting to light mo. You heard ine ask him to the scratch fifty times during that Iho hours, llu wasn't so anxious to light mo then." "No," put in Trncoy, "ho did n lot of smiling tho first half-hour, but bo was dread ful the rest of that fhu hours ho was trying to get u record fur distance running."

Mrs. Potter has begun a regular course of fencing lessons, and means to continue tlrem while she re mains in New York. It is a great improve, ruont to an actress to take exerciso witli the foils. It gives her suppleness, an ensy, graceful carriage, devolopos her figure, strengthens her arras mid legs, and bestows more perfect poise to her in her poses and agility and lightness in her action. You should see them when they begin and when they are through a course if you wonld fully appreciate the value of tho exer cise to them. Sometimes they como with stooping shoulders, sunken breasts, weak arms, n drooping carrlaco, thoir legs insecure and wobbly. That all goes after a proper timo given to fencing.

'.Yfia Vvrk Lttttr to Wtllhington I'ott. Tho number Is well nigh legion, In a big city Uko New York, of women and girls whoso dally timka keep them from homo alter dnrfc and who make their way through the Btrccta alone with tmpunliy. The belated traveller meets them, singly and In groups, at tho Bridge and ferries at all hours from early dark till lougpist midnight, mid. If he Is out himself, towards morning. Some of them not very many set type In newspaper office, though tney are supposed not to, anil thcro Is a re spectable minority In a great variety of trades and occupations but the vast body of them are clerks and cashiers in tho big stores, whose labors during the busy season keep them away from home lato at nliiht. Kven In stores whero tnero Is au "early closing" rule, the purchasers are not gut rid of till 6 o'clock, when tncto Is still the work of clearing up the day's diSbris to bo done, and there Is no pretenso of closing early on Saturday evenings or during tho holidays. Mid night very frequently overtakes tho toiler at the counter with her tasks uullnlKhed, and there aro occasions when nearly tho v, hole niabt must bo spent In preparation for some special i-oupol trade. The ciuisn doclur la out at all honrs, of course, and I have met a medical stuilcnt of barely twenty trudging alonit at t o'clock In tho morning, while tho falling ram almost blinded her, ncr nam! on the shoulder of a ragged lad of ten, who wa con ducting her to a sick bed in the cast side tenement region. It Is a good deal to the credit of the metropolis that as a rule these girls aro nearly as sate from rudeness as In tho daylight. They aro modest and unobtrusive In appearance, they mind their own business and havo ways to mako the would-bo masher mind his. From night tollers of the other bcx men and boys vi ho ure out o' night on er rands of necessity they have llltlo to lear. Tho worklngman or boy may be rudo hen ho Is drunk, and sometimes when he is not, but bn Is seldom persistent and not often Intentionally troublesome. This growing frequency of night employment for women means a tremendous change In the once ac cepted notions and opinions of mankind. The Judge who declares from tho bench that a woman lias no business to be abroad after dark la yet heard from oneo In a while, but tho auachronlMii uluiijs calls forth a burst of rlg'iteuus ludlgnatlon. I was talking with a night worker masculine the other day about this very topic. He said that he had often lost bis horse-car and had to wait a half hour for another In the wee small honrs, because of his reluctance to let a fellow worker femi nine grope alone for her car in the muddy streets. Deiplto this experience, which is enough to make any but tho mo.t swect temoered man conservative, he spoko moat enthu siastically ot the effect likely to be produced upon women, especially young women, by Belr-aupport-ing habits, andaald he looked to si o them gain In worth and dignity and practical kmmlcdiio by con tact with practical neccsultles.

It was a largo eako or jmrallolojiip. edou of a dark brown color with dimeuMons 8xGxltf inches. Tho young man of heeds wont on: "Tho seed, or rather spawn, of tho mushroom is a little white thread that looks like silk fibre. This is gathered from tho bed under the fungi whero it falls. It is thoroughly mixed with the excrement of cattle, which is bolected for its prtbervntion bemuse it is perfectly cold and lifeless. Tho spawn is pressed into these cakes, and there tho mush room lies inert nud lifeless until it is needed."

He boomed iileas d to talk of his work, but deplored tho fact that four or live men who had worked under him had bet up similar workshops, so that ho has not mi many orders as formerly. Ho unlocked the door of a small office and showed boine designs for the foot-rcsts.

LEVI'S ONLY RIVAL.

Ily Its aldo Mr. Levy Blood jeiter hIIH day afternoon with bli cornet In his hand. TJpon X'tB Its brass cylinder was placed a little tube of paper nil covered thinly with wax. Then tho recording 'k5sH diaphragm was placed In position, the needle fell ffl In lta place upon the snrface of the wax,the opera- yal tor moved the treadle wltn hla foot and the cylinder qtaM began to revolve. LH Levy placed hie cornet to his lips, and tho 'JESaH familiar notes of Itobln Adair filled the room, $B A moment later and the plaintive Scotch melody .VilaH had slven way to the merry tune ot "Yankee Tsiaal poodle," while, the air quivered with the varla- 'jbaLi tlona which Levy alone can produce. Aa theso ?SaH died away the cornetlst played "The Last Rose of '.v5ll Hummer" and "Klllarn-y." jraJD The recorder wa.i removed and tho reproducer vSaM substituted. Again the oyllnder revolved and the ftSaLi littlo needle began to follow the Infinitesimal track iH that had been carved upon tho wax. A little '"3aaH fainter than the original playing, but preserving all LH tho sweetness and tho clearness of the cornot's 'ifuH notes, the grapbophone began to repeat the tuno "MibM of "ltoblu Adair." Then It rattled merrily tho vH variations of "Yankee Doodle," while the notes of ;4rnflal the "Last Itosoof Hummer" and "Klllarney" SaH wero perfectly reproduced. More song were; 'llH played, and no matter how many twists and turns B the cornetlst gave to his notea he found that tho vVfaH graphophono recorded them all with marvellous .H minuteness and distinctness. 31 r. Levy had 'iiH played Into the phonograph, but, aa he remarked. jEB ihat machine iravo a meiulitc and harsh reproduo 'kTH Hon, falling entirely to preserve the delicate phras- 'ij Ing and tho olear bcll-llko tone which chinotertiecj 'VVsTal bis playing. iMU After the muslo there was some conrenauoB, Sv-aB 'It's the most wonderful and astonishing thing I, tH ever saw In my lite," satd Mr. Levy, and It's the H most wonderful ana astonishing thing I ever taw Xfll In my life," echoed the graphophono, as It tmpth 3.flai dently repeated, also, a littlo cough to which (fr. 3k9b1 Levy had given utterance.

A morning contemporary thinks it tlmo enough to interfere with inciters to murder nnd arson when an overt act against law aud ordor haH beeu committed. Tho trouble with this is that it doesn't apply until after tho murder, or the riot, or tho nrBon may have taken place. The object of the law is ns much to pre. vent crlmo as to punish it. It is ns legitimate to apply tho ounco of prevention as tho pound of cure. Free speech will not suffer if tho inciters to crime aro gagged. THE WAR ON BEAUTY. What's tho matter with Beauty? Did the Crontor err in making his work beautiful Is n thing of beauty n dolusion nnd n snnro, instead of n joy forever? Such seems to be tho opinion of tho Nntional Tomporanco women nnd of Anthony Comstock. Tho latter would cloak our stntuos nnd rourt-plastor our pictures.

Not content with the somewhat formidable, task of sup pressing tho liquor interest, tho convention at Noshvillo has undertaken, among other side issues, tho abolition of bird ornaments. This roform is rather of tho sentimental ordor. Liko tho question of femalo suffrago, it is likely to moot its opponents chiefly among tho gontler sex. As n rule, tho mon doprecate tho cruel slanghtor of birds, espe cially when their plumage is very cxpanBivo and is utilized upon tho thoatro hats. Still, this is n roform that may discroetly bo left to tho womon. Tho only man who over vonturod to interfere in this burning question was crushed by tho Tctort that "it did not mako uuy difference to tho birds whether they w ere put ou tho bonnot or under tho waistcoat." Tho workman who foil into n pit nt Now Haven wns saved from drowning by friondly hands that hold his chin up till tho wnter was drawn off. No such fortuno attended tho Republican bosses in this Stato on Nov. 8th, whon they fell into n pit of their own digging. Tho flow was too sudden and too deen. It was a piece of grim poetic justice, nfter nil, that n locomotive engineer in Now Jersoy should bo stunned into unconsciousness by tho whistlo that he couldn't shut oft.

The latter nro routed nt an average of of $100 n year each. In the main nisles of tlm edifice the Church Committee puts a valuation on the pews, aud the purchaser, in addition, pays 17 per cent, a j ear on tho ns. Bossed valuation. Jay Gould purchased his pew for $1,800 cash, a premium of $300 on its assessed value, and his annual levy is $2.ru. Ho owns the pew in fee. ltussell Sago owns a pew assessed at $l,fiOO nnd worth $2,000. It cost him $800 several yearn ngo, nnd he told the pastor that ha re garded It us one of tho best investments he over made. Mr. Flagler, tho Standard Oil man, paid $2,000 for his sitting and contributes 17 per cent, on that amount, or $840. A lady recently wantod n pew in tho main isle near tho front of tho church and wns asked $2,760 for it. Sho was given n refusal of this offer for forty-eight hours. On in quiry she found that sovon porsous wantod that seat nnd that scores of gentlemen had been waiting to years to buy. Sho pur chased tho pew without furthor dclny. At a recent Wednesday evening leoturo Dr. Pnxton told an interesting incident in tho career of Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania. He said that when ho was stationed in Wash ington, Cameron came to him ono day nnd said My young preacher, I want you to prench it sermon from tho text, Cast your bread on tho waters mid it will return four-fold uftor many days.' In explaining tho request, tho vetoran Pennsylvania politician said that whon he was quite a young man he mot a young lum berman who was bemoaning his ill-luck in having his raft of timber laid up by tho low water. Tho man was surrounded by somo operators who wero trying to seenro tno drift for a more song. Cameron nuked tho young fellow, whoso name wns Hahnemann, if he could not hold the logs until the freshets camo. I hnve not n cent in the world," was tho reply, nnd these men nro trying to squoezo mo. I don't know whnt to do, for I am ruined. Young follow, you nro not ruinod," an swered Cameron. Como with mo to my bank nnd I will hold your lumber and loan you all tho money you neod at tho legal in terest." Tho young lumborman was resound nnd Gen. Cameron lost sight of him. It was a great many years ngo," the ngod Senntor continued in telling tho story, nnd I wns not an old man, but whon I wanted to bo Unitod Stutes Senator I met with sturdy opposition. I learned that thero was a man in tho lumber districts who had great influ ence and controlled tho legislative delegation from that part of tho Stute. I went to seo him. His namo was Hahnemann, and, tak ing my memorandum book with mo, I thought I would reall tho lumber incident. The man was too young to bo tho ono I bad casually assisted, lint I learned from him that he had bueceoded his father. Tho young man did not know much of his fathor's experience, but conversed with his mother anil then returned to tho hotel to seo mo. Ho said his mother was nnxious to seo tho man who had put his father on his foot if ho could bo found. I told tho young morchant that I was tho man nnd ho grasped mo by tho hand, said ho was over opposed to mo politically, but hoped I should win. That is how I first become United States Senator. I cast my bread upon tho waters und it roturned to me fourfold." MERCnAST COHNFELD TO RETURN. Mnttrrs Looking Itrlihtrr for the ftllsslnsr Man's Creditors. Thoro is a better feeling to-day at the office of Isidor Cohnfeld, tho missing feathor mer chant of Groono streot, than has boon mani fested for some time, and tho opinion is exprossed that before many days Mr. Cohn feld will return to this city and resumo chargo of his business. A gentleman connected with the office has betu in communication with tho missing man pructically since he disappeared, nnd hears from him now about three times a week. Just where Mr. Cohnfeld is at pres ent the gentleman declines to say, though ho does not deny that he is in Toronto. It seems a little strange to him that Mr. M. T. Wall, tho Morcor street straw goods mer chant, who claims to have seen Cohnfeld In Toronto n fow days ago, should havo tho im pression that tho latter had made arrango ments to remain in Cnnada for the winter. Ho thinks that Mr. Wall is mistaken. Tho reason for Mr. Cohnfeld's sudden disappearance- was, said tho gentleman, primarily ill-health. Ho was unable physi cally to meet his creditors nnd undergo the labors of examination, nnd it was by tho ad vise of Dr. Adolph KeBser, of Loxington nvo nuo, that ho loft his affairs as he did. In all his letters ho expresses n desiro to return and make n settlement of 100 cents on the dollar. Tho creditors on the other hand havo ex. pressed n desire that he should return, nnd resumo business, nnd nro evidently snttsflod with tho terms proposed. At the Greene stroot office it is bolioved, thnt within n fow days. Mr. Cohnfiold will be back nt his desk. Julius J.

The ceremonies for death and burial are alike for men and women. In the hour of death tho face Is turnod towards Mecca 'or Jerusalem, and when the final moment comes the women of the harem, In regular succession, Bend forth shrill falsetto cries that rend the air and mako the nerves quiver. This cry brings to the home tho womon of tho village, who Join In the lament tor the dead. All arc dressed In soiled, dark bine robes, and have faces, bands, breasta and even the walls of tho house daubed with Indigo. They nnbrald their hair, and often pluck It out and laah themselves into a frenzy. Among the rich the clothing of the dead Is strewn about the room, and the dishes nnd ornaments broken with great noise.

The night following tho burial, the men pass tho hours with friends, amoklng and drinking coffee, calm and resigned to dCBtlny: the women spend the night In walling and shrieking.

Tho novel interpretation of th !jff law, which is regarded by merchants gener. (W8 ally as utterly unwarranted by tho statutes, fw was sprung on tho community on Oct. 1 with. li out tho slightest warning or time for propa. Al ration, and mado a swoeping chango in the -rr forms pormltted by tho deportment for the, V past oight years. fW Tho immediate result of tho new order has been to choko tho rooms of tho Post-Offloe B with tons upon tons of mail matter, upon 'r-r which ndouced rates nro demanded prior to a dolivory, ond to deal n tcniflo blow nt the out-of-town Christmas trade of dry.goodt 0'e C firms, publishing-houses nnd wholesale patten grocers. tmdoiK Tho troublo nil arises from tho fact that on moutlu all except first class, or letter, matter, at two Hoodcil cents nn ounce tho senders are forbidden to electric put anything beyond the namosand addressee J of the sender and the addressee. This seems Vw .m u simple nnd innocuous regulation, but it has J far-reaching results.

Trademarks and designs, such as embellish Itws tho titlo nt the top of tho first pogo of Tn way in Woiilp, wero also admitted without question last nif and frequently appeared on the wrappers beteo used by publishers and other houses. B'ut When tho radical ohango was made in the Ithe fer interpretation of tho law of 1879. it was mado B'eru so suddenly as to fall heavily os possible on Young thoso affected by it. No notice was given, nnd a t no titno allowed for tho presumably wicked vcn d: to respond and reform boforo the thunder.Buclphii bolt fell.

Those firms send jnick i catalogues throughout tho country with pood o prices attached to each article for which they this tii ogroo to deliver the goods by malL The sua- formei den chango of ruleB governing third ond Bcottis fourth class matter caused thousands of theso get toe packages to bo rejected by the consignees, track i who naturally accused the New York firms of bad faith in not proporly prepaying the post. The Tho difficulty in tho caso of those goods 'lon w was merely that the wrapper bore the imprint v Dry goods," or a rod stor or other trade- 0l mark. Slight as it was, it was sufficient to poller cnusothePoBt-Offlconuthoritiesto reject the pr. lir' parcols as third or fourth class matter, and pnzo-l to charge 82 conts per pound instead of 8 or 16 cents. In many instances, as in small con.

If tho damage already dono nnd the loss II bo far occasioned wero all tho matter would JJ be serious enough, but tho story is not half rt told. This is the busiest time of tho year. jj the Christmas trade having fully set in. All tho firms affected hove on hand large stocks of wrappers and envelopes already printed, ji such as they have used for years. They Q must be charged, in compliance with tha now ruling, for they cannot afford to send everything at letter rates. But tho printing J cannot bo deno for everybody within sev- m oral weeks ot least, nnd in tho meantkus lM they suffer intolerable inconvenionce. Thurber, Whyland Co. have on hand fe 70,000 stomped wrappers on which the Gov- "Sy eminent printod for thorn their business JX card. The words Importing Grocers oro n fatal, and the wholo stock is useless for the purpose for which thoy wore intended. The book firm of Belford. Clarko Co., AW 88C Broadway, has had 300,000 wrappers ren- y'i dored useless by tho presonco or the word "publishers." The firm received notioo yes. who w tordoy that 20 worth of books sent by their torn li Chicago agent at third class rates are held by Jlaiiou the Post-Office authorities for n further pay- rv ment of $50 two nnd n half times the value of the goods. Mr. Belford says ho intends to "um suo for on injunction restraining the postal "eni" authorities from enforcing the now rule.

It was not tho color of them so much as tho absurd way In which they arched themselves on her forehead, l'oor girl, sho couldn't help her eyebrows and a freckle round her nose. Where was I. Oh, yes, her mouth. Well, It wasn't ono of thoso little, saucy, pinched affairs. It was a big mouth, cherry red, with two little key-boards In It upon which a deep contralto volco made music. No injn ever saw it when sho laughed without saying to himself, tho brute: "Heavens, how I would liko to bo kissed by that!" Where sho got her mouth and eyebrows, I never could understand. Her old mother didn't havo them, and her father, bless my soul, ho had a hard, squaro jaw anil tno or threo white bristles that never, never could have been beautiful. Something more about Mugglc. Havo a llttlo patlcnco and give mo free scope, and I'll tell you If I can, though this Is the hardest part. Up to this tlmo clothes had never dressed her the curious thing was that Bho dressed the clothes. I hope you know whut I mean, bhe was poor, but It made no difference what sho threw on, It fell Into the curve of her body and began to get style from somewhere. If she wore ono of thoso hid eous and cheap waterproofs that mako moat girls look like old umbrellas that will not shut up.Bomc uow It began to eprlng out here and bend in there, as If naturo had panlcrs aud corsets of her own and snapped her lingers at tho costumcrs. And so Bho has, girls don't you forget It. Perhaps you understand now why Magglowas the girl of tho threo that attracted attention. Tho fact Is, Maggie was one of thoso girls that men call stunning, and women who arc not Btunnlng with a look of their heads acknowledge "flue-looking." During tho first week that she was In Stammls's Bho was so tired with standing on her feet all day that Fho used to stop and sit down and reBt when on her way homo on old Judge Kancher'iwhlte mar ble steps down there near Second avenue. And one night tho butler came down tho steps aud, seeing some one dimly lu a water-proof, said: "Come, now, move along, madam," and Maggie Inno cently lifting her eyebrow s at him, he changed his tune. "I beg your paraon, ma'am," said he, "can I go lu and get you a glass of water or wlno?" II. Where did she come from Her father, flfty-clght cars old, lived in the basement of the old-fashloued three-story house, that you can seo standing still on the north sldo of Eighteenth street, between the First and Second avenues. He was an Hngllshman, aud ho had ived there fourteen years. There were only threo of them tho old man, the old woman aud Maggie, unlcsBwc count In Llda, who spent a good deal of her tlmo there for rea. eons uhlch I will tell you presently. A Utile sign on the basement window had this painted on It: John Ubusii, Umbrellas Mended and Canes lle-ferruled, Cle&cral Jobbing Attended To. A patient, methodical, Industrious old man, ho lad betomo with years of monotonous drudgery llttlo better than a machine. You could seo his whlto head through the dirty panes of the huc. incut window at nearly all times, as he stood at his little work-bench In a tick apron and tinkered away In his spectacles.

Isn't ho too nice she Bald to her companion. I'd givo anything or do anything to havo that man speak to mo." Don't talk such non sense," retorted the othor "or if you do, don't let it bo so loud." Tho young woman, however, looking at Kelcey instead of where sho as going, caught her foot in the track so suddenly that it brought hor to tho ground. Sho uttered a cry of pain. Kelccy, who was but n few yards nwny, of courso adnncod, all beautiful anxiety and tender manliness. Ho lifted tho prostrate damsel, brushed tho diiBt from her jacket with his bn-holiotropcdt handkerchief, dropped his cane, picked it up. laised his hat, and ex claimed in swectebt tones, Oh, 1 do hope you nro not hurtl" Ho gavo her ono expies sive glance and depnrted. What the damsel said to her friend is not known, but the ex liiessionon her face was one of such sub lime happiness that ltaphael, Augelo, Hol bein or any other dealer in expressions ought to hae been there to seo it. Si .TohnB.Itogers, Minnlo Palmer's marital and theatrical manager, uuvor loses an oppor tunity of Jiriuging that young woman and (incideutmly. of courso), himself before the public. At tho Brooklyn l'nrk Theatre last wook, My Brother's Bister was ghon, Mr. ltogers distributed printed letters begging tho audience to answer theBo questions Do you liko tho titlo of tho piny?" "Do you liko the story Do you liko tho char acters?" ,rDo you liko tho songs ami music and Can you suggest nny improve, ments V" To tho last question ono gentleman wroto ns follows Yes, 1 enn, l'ut Johnnie IlogorH on in n song and dance." noverni momuors ot iiarngau's company are said to be extremely dissatisfied because in tho new play called' I'cto to be pro duced to-night they havo beon assigned very smill parts. Mr. Harrigau will introduco two or threo now moinbors in this play, und this tho old ones do not liko. Mrs. Yeomons has a vory small part, and Miss Annie Lang, don is also in tho background. Tho former lady, who is ono of Mr. Hnrrigan's cleverest actresses, is known in slung pnrlnnco ns a kicker." SI The sale of Bents for the production of She at Hiblo's next weok commences on Thursday. The intorost that attaches itself to tho novol is shown by tho number of or ders for seats for tho piny socurcd by E. O. (illiuoro. The fceblo attempts mndo to pro. duco Sho out of town havo been dismally disastrous. As boforo stilted, iio sooner do Nuw York managers announce their intention of producing tho dramatization of u book than out-of-town peoplo follow in thoir foot steps without any facilities nt hand. Mr. ltider Haggard's written authorization, sent to Mr. William Gillette, is, of courso, simply an acknowledgment of tho announcement that Gillette will pay him royalties. Thoro is no legal necessity for roynlties. Tho inter, nntiniisl ropyri'ght question is, howctor, slightly haoktieved. Arthur Wallack aud Charles Alfred Byrno nro in working harness.

Peoplo for blockB away knew that John Ilrush could mend a parasol or a fan, cement a vase, fix a dog collur or patch a piece of eld furniture with wonderful patlcnco ami curious kill, and not ask a big price for dolue It. He wus never idle. Thoro was always something to keep him busy, and Mrs. Ilrush sometimes helped him. When, as occasionally happened, thero was a rush of Jobs, he sent round In Nineteenth street for Frank Percbeau, a young man who worked In Ilaur Kctchum's coach factory, and tho two of them would give tbe evening to It under u llttlo kcroiene lamp, merrily enough so far as Frank was concerned, for .Maggie, was suro to be some whero about, anil if she wasn't, why Llda would bo there with her vivacity, and next to Maggie's magnificence, Llda's long tongue aud chlrrupy laugh was Frank Pcrcbeau's delight. It was a Jolly picture that you might see of winter nights when the men were at work and the girls coming homo from tbo store, looked first in at tbo window to seo Frank lu his shirt sleet es, and thruiigh tho open door lira. Ilrush, In her whlto apron, waiting at the little supper table for them and knitting. Then they would burst In, and the great, hearty Maggie would kiss her old father effusively as If to torment Prank, and tho pair of them would raco through luto the warm back room and set everything astir. Thoso were merry though humble times, everything went along so evenly and regularly. They didn't want much and they managed somehow to get an enor mous amount of hupplness out of their absurd alfcctl'in for each other. Hut, uf course, thU couldn't last, as you know very well. And the reason I suppose I might as well ac knowledge it at once was ilagglc's eyebrows, I've often thought since, If sho could nnly.'havo had them pulled out or burnt off, how nicely things would havo Jocged on. Rome months boforo sho went to Stammls's tho eyebrows began to exert their Iniluencc. Hut I don't thluk the poor girl thought much about It. blocum, tho butcher's apprentice, threo doors up, used to whistle her praises fur hours at night un the area railing, and ho ctcn alluded to her as "sweetmeats "among his rudo companions, but when he spoke to her sho turned on her eyebrows In a couple of nstonlshlng curves, und ho gat o a gasp. 1 suppose patient old John llruah never noticod how things were going. When did It ever occur to a doling old in an 'a heart to suspect that his lamb must draw all the wolves round his fold, and dually walkolf with tho worst coyoto of them all? I don't believe It ever entered his head that It was stretching the umbrella business a poiut when young Fiuuarty camo thero threo times In one week to hatf a lerrulo rlxed. To anybody but old Ilrusli It would have flashed that Flutiarly was a virtuoso or a monomaniac In tho mailer ol fer rules. Kspeclitlly when, after comlnjr tnreo times, about his umbrella, he walked olf snd forgot tu takult with hlmwhenlt wa4 fixed lo his satisfac tion. I don't suppose It ct er daw nod on John that as his girl budded out the business of tlxliigcanes began to.develop, aud that finally walklng-stlrls with broken Joluts and rickety knobs set In from long Ulstunces'sauntercd down the Second avenue, lounged past the basement window, leaned up agatiiHl tho railing and hung round the work-bench with what looked l(ko un a kw.ird Interest of the commuulty In knobs and frrrules.

Ho hauded over an ounce bottlo of a brownlah solution, which ho poured Irom a huge Jar that ho look from the topmost shelf. Harmless, I supposo?" tho customer said. (Julio so," was the reply. "Fifty cents, If you tilciiae." "l)ii ynu mind telling mo luii what tho pre scription ta T" Certainly not. 1 have the formula hero In my book" turning over tne leaves rapidly. "Wo keep It ready made In quantities, because there Is such frequent call fur It. Yes, I havo It now. 1 l'or eaou Hold drsehm, fifteen grains bromide of potassium, fifteen grains chloral, une-elgtith of a grain of hasheesh aud nnc-elgath uf a grain of henbane. Hut those Ingredients are all polions. Yes, they are," admlttul thu apothecary, re luctantly; "but ho lung as rim don't take too muen uf them they are not at all dangerous. Perhaps not. Hut ttita atuff It Is known na "bromldla" may lie purchased by the quart at any chemist's. Its formula la one nf tho must valuable with which medical science Is acquainted. For tho treatment of certain uervnim allectlons It la un equalled. Hut, uufortunatrlt, tho bromldla habit l as readily acquired aa It Is dlnlcult lo rellnqulih, and, the taste fur it once obtained, Its victim soon becomes a hupelcas slate. Plenty of such mixtures aro exposed with Inviting labels upon every apothe cary's counter. Oh, yea; they feed tho ncrtca. Nothing liko them to put people to sleep In the cofllu. I'letity of womeu who are rcgarde I as hope less Invadda by their uusuapcutlug friends are Imply slaves to tho nerte-food vice. A drowsy, helpless, and prognsalte laziness la the marked symptom of this highly artificial complaint. "I'oor Mrs. Slmklnat" sighs a sympathetic ac quaintance, "she Is such a sufferer. Nearly all her time la spent un thu sofa, and her nerves are so weak that she has to take no end of medicine to strengthen them." Aa a matter of fact Mrs. H. deacrves little com. niseratlon. She would enjoy t ery fair health did sho nut keep herself constantly under thb Influence of pultons. Take her inedlcme-boltlo uway and he might bo well again. Thero Is a preparation called "uvtna saliva," a drop or two of which Is an almost certain rcmody fur nrrtous headache. It is exceedingly powerful; yet thero Is a lady lu Huston who talcs it by tho pint. She would die without It, ahe aays, aud It la very likely. Women buy hogsheads ot audi Bluff, Tney ctenfeed It to the bubles.

A llrltlsb Opinion oT HulllTun. 'AflauVpafa Ilullrlin'i London ll,r.) Sulllvun Is a disappointment. Perhaps It It that we ure accustomod to a higher data of flghtlug person, a more finished lot than those who affect "tho fancy aro accustomed to, on your side of the Atlantic. It may be that our expectations were extravagant. 1 cannot say. All animal with aplondld points Is J. L. Sullivan. I never saw a more superb torso; never more muscular arms. Hut when back, chest, arms and towering stature aro extolled, tho erltlo of bono nnd musclo must become, well, critical, Sullivan has tho most In different pair of legs I ovcr saw upun tho body of a gladiator. The clever people tho peoplo who know all about the art and practice ot fe bore aro not enamored of bulllvan'a atyle. In fact, Smith's reputation advanced a hundred percent., by sheer furco of contrast, as before Sullltatiwas halt through his round with Ashton, No form, no form, "was the remark that was re peatedly made. Neither attitude nor weaving" met with the approval of good Judges. What a lot uf look he must have had to knuck htsruenuut with that kind of atuff I" I heard an old Corinthian say. It Is tho opinion of tho majority ot tho ex perts that ho has one "swashing blow "and ono only that entitles htm to be considered a big lighter, and that Is his right. Everything, In their view, will depend on bis getting that home. Concerning iho man's tremendous power of hit ting his brute strength they ray nothing. It (.peaks for Itself. It la at a boxer, as a sclcntlfln exemplar of the noble art, that Judges ot the same pronounce him a disappointment. S.SSP Flowers for Actreaara. Fron lAs iMfaiMrMi Ttmx.l There Isn't a tilght at some of the theatres that a mctscngcr boy doesn't carry a big bonnet to the box office for soma actress. Tbo boaucts rango In prlco from S? to tso. Men who havo no acquain tance with the actress go to the theatre, become smitten with her, and tho next night rush Into a flurlat'a ami commit tho folly of buylug her flowers. Men nsnally send their cards and address attached to tho bouquet, home send letters begging iho acquaintance of the actress. The different methods uf presenting floral tributes to favorito actresses and singers Is curious to remark. In tho old days they wero thrown upon tho stago at the feet ot the favored srilsto and camo directly from the hand of the donor. Occasionally the card of the giver was attached to tho floral tribute. Nowadays It is tho custom to hand the floral trlb- ne caught a severe cold and had a slight conges tion of the lungs. He did not complain. Hoth the old folk went along uncomplainingly, but thu busi ness stopped. It had never occurred to any of them that John could get sick, simply because they hud net er seen him sick. They had grown so ac customed to seo him go through his dally toll in tho sumo way for years without saying anything that It seemed as It things must go on that way for ever. Now he was on his back. Then It ocourrcd to Maggie that sho ought to bo able to take care of herself, and Llda, who was getting to a week In Stammls's, suggested that place. So It camo about that Magglo ticgan her career as a floor-girl. Thcro wasn't any objection urged at home. ,Tho old folks never objected to anything. They some times looked hurt or sad, and occaslouaUy their watery eyes silently overflowed at something; but that was all. This was tho step that mado Magglo a woman and brought about all tho terrible after conse quences. I want you clearly to understand that sho was a good girl. She knew nothing of the world though. Healthy, happy and unsuspecting, sho was Just as smlablo and Innocent as a good girl can be. Kind-hearted too. Why, she had no moro Idea of a flirtation than you havo of a human barbecue. Ifltoter occurred to her that her eyebrows had hurt somebody her big eyes wanted to wlpu out the wrong with tears, bhe had had a common school education, that was all; but sho had a whole stock of things people call Intuitions and feelings. How long do ynu supposo it took her to find out that she wns not liko tho other girls lu Staiiiiiils'a. Why, they hated her tho first day They mado fun of herelothes so that she couldn't help hi irlug It. They called her My dear," und stabbed her In tho back, as you might say. Thoy tried to imitate her aud screwed their tycbrows up, only It was a bad Imitation, because, you see, they did not have tho ejibruws. Sho used to cry a little at Aral, all to herself. Hut Llda was her friend and Hutu Murphy liked her In a cold way, so that before tho year was out she got a llttlo hardened to it and didn't mfnd It. Frank l'crebe.iu used to ask her to let him come over on raluy nights nnd bring her homo, but she alwajs laughed ut him good-naturedly and said she wouldn't let him waste the time, John got well enough to work, but ho never wasasstrong again; nnd Frank camo nterund helped him out with his Jobs, and mailers went ulong easily enough for the year, without any other change than took placo lu Maggie. Sho dressed bttltr, I hating tho money to buy clothes, and grew dally i moro beautiful; and finally Frank Percbeau, In his shirt-sleeves, made love to her and told her he was going to marry her. Ho had talked It all over with tho eld folks, She laughed at Frank Perebcau. Ho didn't rare for the laugh. It was the eye brows. Her mouth seemed lo say; "Oh, this Is the fuu nlist thing I oter heard of!" Hut her eyebrows seemed to say: I'm waiting fur somebody belter than you." The next man that enmo along was Karncst Sedley, ami be came along In the moat proper und careful way, Hu wan thu brother of Mr. Stam mls's slater. He had a wealthy mother, and the had got Stainmts to mako him superintendent ot one of the departments lu thu store. Magglo I new lu less than six months that Sedley liked her. In fact, every girl In thu place knew It, especially the ltoman-uosed Miss Ueckwlth, tho cashier, whose gray eyes wero always watching Maggie through her llttlo wicket at the cash desk, b'edley was about u nt to bo superintendent tn a nles over the footlights.

He was a vigorous Intellectual I looking young man about tw enty-soven years old, who had kept nn active place In college by his muscle1. Ho walked about In Stammls's and triod to prevent the girls from seeing him yawn, and ho betrayed an unbounded, but the most respectful admiration for Miss Hrush. Thero were many llttlo opportunities to talk to her, and ho told her bit by bit how hla mother had Insisted on his coming luto tho atoro und learning to be a business man, and how he had consented Just to please her, but how ho wus often tempted to run away and go on a ranch. Ho found out a good deal about Miss Ilrush, too, partly from herself and partly from Llda. Thcro was such a kindly consideration about him that It was Impossible for a girl not to like him. Hut It took a good while to find out nil hla good qualities, and girls don't tako time as a rule. They Jump ut these things headlong, at you will sco soou enough. That Miss llruah did. I can tell you pretty accurately how matters pro groHted with Sedley. Tho first month he slid to himself: "Wonder fully pretty girl that for somebody. So Intelligent, too. I suppose she's aa poor as a beggar. She qullo Interests me." Tho second month ho said; "Dammo, I can't get that girl out of my head. If I wasn't a man of aoiuo will I should say she'd mashed me." The third month he said: "After all, what is wealth or position or calling f Kind hearts sre rnbru than coronets And slmplu faith than Normsu blood." The fourth month hu said; "I lnvo that girl beyond all power of control. Sho has becomo a dream of my life In spile ot me. Without her I shall bo absolutely and forever miserable." When tho fifth mouth camo ho went to his dowager mother and said: "Mother, I've found nut how you can make a man of mo. You'll have to let mo get married." Tho old lady looked up with well-bred surprise. "Why, you don't mean to say that you want to quit Minimus'. I thought you wero beginning to show a most unexpected attachment for the pi ce." Mother," said the young man, "I never did anything lu my life without consulting you. I want to get married, (lot thu girl picked out. She's poor, humble, but angelic. I want yuu logo and seo her, and then tell me If I can do belli r." Ordlnaiily Sedley could stop her mirations when they were too pry Ing by kissing her cm Hie fore head und knocking off her spectacles. This tlmo he didn't try It. Tho llr-t question sho naked was: la ahu tvurthy:" To w hleh h drew himself up aud replied: lly all odda the worthiest I ever saw." "How long havo you known her J" "Sit months."
