THE CHARMS OF NEW YORK.
A GraphJa tMertpilo of MatroyeUUa
- XAU, wttk UlastnUloM.
"Ton see, it is this way, " said the
New York man as he was walking
along1 the street talking1 to a friend
from out of town. "New Yorkers
won't have anything but the best of
everything. This being the metropolis
of the western continent, we are put
in a position where we can have our
nick of everything, and you can well
believe that we take the best every
time. You will notice this," he went
on as they just managed to get out of
the way of a truck team on a crossing,
got punched in the backs with the pole
of a furniture van, beard the
driver of an ice wagon swearing
at them and were well spat
tered with the six - inches of
mud on the pavement by a hack team
being driven twelve miles an hour;
"you will notice this the. longer you
stav here. Little annovances that vou
have been accustomea to having to
submit to vou will regulated in
New York. We reason like this," he
went on as ho dodged around a couple
of garbage barrels and a brick fell
from the sixth story of a new build-
in? and cut a notch out of his hat
brim: "our idea is this: that if we de
mand the best and stick to it, we will
p-et it. Of course, now in vour town.
a country village, you have some
rural advantages that we can't have,
but then we nave numberless other
advantages that you can know noth
ing of. rew York," he ran on, as his
foot supped on a banana peeling and
a policeman threatened to arrest him
for being drunk, and a grocery wagon
horse took a bito out of niscoat sleeve.
"New York leads in everything in this
country. It is not, of course, London
or Pans, but wo manage things better
here.
"In the old countries," he continued.
as he dodged a bobtail car that already
had blood on its wheels, jumped ten
feet to one side as the cap on an elec
tric subway blew of? with a loud re
port, and stood and waited for a pro
cession of ten trucks to pass, each one
of which spattered two quarts of mud
as it went over a loose place in the
Eavemcnt; "over there the people
aven't got the energy they have here
and they don't demand the best like
we do, and so they don t get it ISow
with us." he went on, as lie rubbed an
elevatea railroad cinder deeper into
his eye and felt hot water running
down his back from the same source,
and went up the dirty and crowded
steps, and the ticket seller refused to
take a good quarter because it was a
little worn, and the ticket chopper
accused him of only dropping in one
ticket, and the guard slammed the
gate in their faces and swore at them
a couple of times; "with us we pride
f t ! .
ourselves on leading in everyxning in
this country, and have that reputation
and so have to keep it up.
"This elevated road" he continued,
as the next guard yelled "step lively
there 1" and they crowded . into a car
and hung on to each other because
there were already two men and one
woman suspended from each strap;
"this road is something you won't find
anywhere else. Instead of crawling
along in street cars or paying exor
bitant hack fares we have this to carry
us back and forth at a rapid rate. As
I said. New Yorkers demand and get
the best. We" here the train ran
into another one, and the car ahead
fell into the street and the one behind
stood on end. "Sit still right where
vou are on the window," shouted the
New Yorker from where ip jay pn the
roof with fourpien pn pini ; - keep per
fectly still ; jhe coroper will be here
inside of ten minutes, We have the
best system of coroner servipe in the
world nothing' but the best satisfies
us, you know. Breathe easy and hang
on you'll never want to live any
where else after trying New York for
two weeks 1" New York Tribune.
Treating ConaamptloB.
A new method pf trpatinc tubercu
losis, pr ponstimption pf the Jungs, has
been proposed by M- Haller. It con
sists in inhaling dry air heated to the
temperature 01 from 250 dees, to 275
degs. Fahrenheit, the theory being that
at this temperature the bacilLae
which are supposed to produce the dis
ease are destroyed. Old experiments
have shown that there is no difficulty
in inhaling air af (hese. tenppriatures.
but it seems, mprp han ' doubtful
whether the effect will be in the least
decree advantageous. Another and
more rational novelty in. the treatment
is that described, by fXattweuer as in
use at the Fo'lkenstein sanatorium.
The essence of this method is that the
patients are required to live perma
nently in the open air, to sleep there,
even if the temperature falj as, ow as

FOX HATED THE WOMEN.
Carloo Cumt of tfco British Earoy la
tho rtnt ImWi Day.
The foreign ligations of the first
Gen. Harrison's period entertained
frequently dinners and evening par
ties being the style of the day. The
notable exception was in the English
legation. Mr. Fpx succeeded Sir
Charles Vaughn, and the contrast be
tween the two ministers was striking.
The one made the. Iteration a frequent
scene of splendid hospitality; this
other, a recluse, who barred the doors
against all women and nearly all men.
IDs dinners were confined to the offi
cial ranks, and his reason for not in
cluding ladies was that "he would
have to snake hands with women."
lie was the nephew of the celebrated
Charles James Fox, embalmed in his
tory, and was said to be a very able
man. Ilis appearance was remarkable
very thin, but rellned in leatures.
lie generally appeared on the avenue
after 8 o'clockalways alone. Nan
keen trousers, with straps, then the
prevailing style, vest of the same, and
a blue coat with a large velvet collar,
which had been built, a legend said,
in Rio Janeiro while he was British
minister in South America; a shirt
collar that dwarfed Spinola's, coming
up above his ears, and a large hat,
many sizes too big, and a large green
silk umbrella. One hand was invari
ably in his pocket, and he moved
along at a smart walk, neither seeing
nor speaking to any one.
He never retired until 3 or 4 o'clock
and never got up until nearly the
same hour next day. Some one met
him at 6 o'clock in the evening in the
Capitol grounds and invited him to
dine with them. He thanked him,
but said "his people' would be waiting
breakfast for nim when he got home.
At a diplomatic . funeral which
must have disturbed his slumbers, for
it was held in the morning he said to
the wife of the Spanish minister:
"How queer we all look by daylight.
I have never seen any of them except
by candle light."
Lord Bacon, writing from Naples,
says: "I met Henry Fox the other
day, who has been dreadfully ill, and,
as he says, so changed that his oldest
creditor would not Know him."
Mr. Fox died from an overdose of
morphine, in 1846, at Washington.
Many stories were told of the gam
bling that went on in his house. The
most celebrated gambler of the day,
named Townley, won largely of him,
it was said. New York Telegram.
Dlckena to Mark Lemon,
The Kent Examiner publishes the
following letter, written by Dickens
on the occasion of the death of one of
Mark Lemon's children. The editor
states that it is the letter's first appear
ance in print:
"My dear Mark We are indeed
greatly grieved at your calamity. I
have no need to tell you, dear fellow,
how constantly you are in our

Sens of Equity.
Sir Richard Bethcll. whose ereal
ability as a ch!aneor)' lawyer made
UUi. HvH rHiw!lori natl a not temper,
but its. putou.rst were quickly quieted
by an appeal to his sense of equity.
Sir Richard one day ordered his
coachman to take a colt -which the
master liad bred to a neighboring fair
and sell it for not less than 40. The
man, however, sold the eolt for 38.
Sir Richard was amrry. and said to the
coachman;
"PWWi you hAVO disobeyed my
positive instructions. You aro dis
missed.." answered "that is very hard. I took
38 for the colt, for if I had brought it
back the cost of its keen for the next
three months would have am.ouuted to
more than the difference in the price.
I shan't take my dismissaJ for such a
cause,'
"Very welL Paice. so be it" renlied
Sir fachard, struck with the equity of
the plea. The man remained in his
master1 serrioe for the rest of his lif e.
