A Giancs at Some Peculiarly Ijow Iievels of City Life. "Datmeera" and 'SlnEcera" Kmployc4 sus Private Dody Unsrds, or as Pan Iither of Personal En cm lew. New York Tribune. Some little time ago a man well knowrn in theatrical circles had a depute with another member of that large and inrTeasing class. The cause of the trouble may have been tri fling or it may have been wrious; the remit was that jx-rsonal violence was threatened on ilie part of the actor. The manager there upon appeared in public with a ratlior bulky individual, who was unknown to any of hirf intimate, and who was introduced, wlien in troduction became necessary, as "Mr. Mul cabcy." The report then gained circulation that the manager had hired a "slugger" to protect him from the possible hard hitting of the actor. The latter was in aliout a week compelled to leave town to fulfil his engage ment, and concurrently with his departure, "Mr. Mulcahey" ceased to join the manager at the festive bar. A Tribune rejorter was struck with one point in this little anecdote when it was told him. Was it possible for a man to secure the services of another to guard him against violence, or could any ono, as was asserted by a friend of the actor to the reporter, even hire a man to attack some obnoxious person and "down" him? The matter seemed worth look ing up, and some curious experiences were the result of the said process of "looking up." Cautious inquiry revealed the fact that a cer tain "Mike," whoso surname need not be given, but w ho is employed as bouncer" at a certain up-town "Garden," could impart much information on tho subject. Armed with a card of introduction the reporter sought out "Mike," who was found in the congenial operation of showing an inebriated young clerk with n gray frock-coat and a dinted while hat, th way to the door, tho manner of the showing consisting in a vigor ous application of two muscular arms and au accompanying volley of unscriptural .ex pressions. "Mike" proved to be a rather good-looking young man with mild brown eyes and a drooping fair mustache, whose broad shoulders and quick, agile movements alone hinted at his profession. "Glad to see yer, sir," said he in a rather hoarse voice. "Set riht down there alongside of the music an I'll be pleased to chin yer in a minute," and he m-do a sudden rush to part two frail '--.mbatr- Is who were having a little argu m. .. ; i'fiir-pulling and scratching in one corn.: f ilio Lrshaped room. The reporter threaded his way through the lines of crowded tables and found that the table "alongside of the niusic' was vacant, ap parently owing to the fact that tho big drum was at ear-splitting closeness. In a short time "Mike" appeared and an nounced himself as ready to talk business. "Are there men as'll be hired to purtect a gen'leman? Well, I don't knov. none." A little hard questioning, however, elicited tho following: "Well, now, don't give us so much tooth, but say clear an' square what you're arf ter. If yer want a gen'leman as'll drop 'round sociable-like with . yon or yer friend, who thinks he's been looked for by another man, and you or yer friends is ready an' willin' to put up the stamps, why I think I can intro duce yer to a friend of mine as'll do it. You understand though that my friendll jest drop Vound sociable-like with you or yer friends as is bein' looked for, an' if there's a row why it's only nateral that he'll take your part or yer friend's part. But if you want a man as'll slug any one you point out to him just for a 'boodle' and without pickin' no quarrel, why I can't help you to him. There is such men about the east side along avenoo A, but they ain't respectable. Do I know 'cir names! Why, yes, I guess I could re !f!djcr them if it were my interest to, but I n consort with such a low-lived lot my if and I wouldn't say as they'd treat any ne suii: 2 I sent to them." The reporter was finally introduced to a - ing man dressed in a tweed suit who for 1 a week and "drinks and such" ("such"" .-an ing board and lodging) would conde jcend to act as body-guard against the apocryphal foe. A dirty piece of paper was also obtained on which a name and address over on the east side, between the Bowery and Second avenue, was scribbled in a hieroglyphic-like script. Thither the reporter pro ceeded. A bright-eyed girl of about ten opened the door and in answer to an inquiry said Mr. Sullivan (it was another name, but no matter) lived on the "fourth floor front, left hand door." It was dark," and pro gress up the rickety stairs was slow and deleterious to limbs and cloth ing. However, the fourth floor was at last reached, and after two wrong doors had been rapped at Mr. Sullivan's room was found. Mr. Sullivan yelled out in answer to the knock that he'd "be wid' the caller in a "jiffy," and in a minute or two the door opened and by the light of the kerosene lamp' the reporter saw a thick-set, red-haired man with a bull neck and an unmistakable reek of whiskey about him. "Phwat does yer want? Ob, yer comes from Moike does yer? Moike's a noice bhoy, shure, an' a gra-ate frind o' moine shurely." This hardly coincided with Mike's statement but the reporter assented, and after he had taken a seat on the sofa, on which his host had evidently been taking forty wiuks,he proceeded to business. "Want some one settled do yer? Whoy did Moike sind yer to me thin? Cawn't he foind some thin' betther to do with his toime than havin' me waked up out o' me slape to tell yer I cawnt help yer to what yer want? Well, now, let me say." This was in response to a hint of pecuniary advantage. "Come to think, I do know a gentleman who's not very pertiklar as to who he sbtrikes. He does it fur love uv it an' wuld be oSSnded if ye of ferd him a cint. Well, he's got a family, to be shure, Now, OiH tell yer. You show me the gintleman yer've got a grudge aginst an give me what yer think raysonable fur my frinds family, an' Oi don't doubt but that the gintleman will get a nasty knock some toime or other. Tell me where he goes an' whin he's loikely to be alone an' Orll say to the risf Enough evidence had been gained.however, and the reporter did not put the matter to any further test. Promising to communicate with Mr. Sullivan he tumbled down the mal odorous stairs and mused as he walked home under the patient stars on the varying de grees of human degradation. Jay : on Id as an Album-Writer. St. James Gazette. Mr. Jay Gould, the arch-millionaire, who is about to make the tour of the world with the object some one has said, of buying it if he finds it suits him haa, like many other wealthy Americans, turned his hand to a great many things in his time. He edited a paper ; he wrote a county history ; he invented a mouse-trap; he even wrote the dedication of a young lady's album a fact which has only just come to light. A specimen of the style of the future owner of twenty millions sterling may be worth quoting: "Some men," he says, "think they ought not to show themselves so weak as to be moved by any of the finer feelings that actuate the human bosom, lest its congenial and captivating in fluence should pervert them. Man, accord ing to them, ought to mingle in business, to become absorbed in aggrandizement and worl'Jly gain, leaving the cultivation of frin."Lsh:p to wither and die. I trust," he concludes, "tiat their contaminating influ-enx- will nver ifeturb the harmonious union of tht onsteilation of bright stars who shall z-'ftli the effulgent rays of friendship fiot successive pages of the lady's al bum. Their seared consciences are deadened to all the finer feelings and insensible to hap py influences of friendship. To them virtue is but an echo and moral worth an apology." Clearly, Mr. Gould has nothing to envy Dan iel Webster in eloquence or Joseph Surface in point of sentiment. We are not surprised tst find that he has made miner. ' 1 untff vou have'dohelt I All the force that thin latter bnnro of the THE CHANNEL TUNNEL. A Visit to the Greatest En gin ear ing Work; of tho World. The Mimple and Wonderful Flee sf Machinery Whieu Can Plereo Through thelBed of U lea. , London Daily Telegraph. A tall shaft, a steam engine, an air loco motive and a couple of wooden shanties 4 marked the sjot destined, it may tie, to abut upon the English mouth of the channel tun nel, or rather of a channel tunnel for there are other schemes afoot to join London and the extremcot point of tha continent of Europe In a continuous railway Journoy and without change of carriages. Hir Edward Watkin airily calculates that the cost of the enterprise in which he is interested would amount to 3,000,000 sterling, and that the tunnel would allow the passage of 250 trains each way every day, at an average sjieed of forty-five miles an hour. So that the tunnel of twenty-two miles in length might 1 traversed in half an hour a speed, be it said, very much higher than that kept up in the longest tunnels of the St. Gothard between Switzerland and Italy. At the bottom of tho shaft, at the mouth of the boring, no more than seven feet in diameter from end to end; excepting here and there a somewhat wider square open ing, technically called a "turnout" we found a couple of trollies fitted with seats on either side, after the manner of the tram-cars of the military train familiar to habitues of Wimbledon camp. Running along the sides of the trolly, close to the ground, was a footboard like that attached to a railway carriage, and above the scat was a semi-cireulnr hood, lined with red baize, suf ficient to protect the head and shoulders from dropping wet or particles of falling debris, but not wide enough to save the legs and feet. By reason of tho space taken up in the lower arc of the circle, so as to make a level floor, aloner which the rails wern 1nil it ns iimw. sary that we should sit with knees drawn up nd IiahH bnnf. rim-ino- tl. -i,i. pied in journeying to the face of the tunnel and back again. A Rembrandt or a Salvator Rosa might have done pictorial justice to such a scen. Under foot for a great portion of the way the ground is almost ankle-deep in slush; and tha stalwart fellows who drag and push the trol lies trudging manfully along have enough to do to keep their foothold. The travelers, for the greater length of time, moving through a dim twilight, cannot well make out the features even of those who sit beside them. Now and again the little electric lamps, set in rudo niches of the naked gray chalk, cast a brilliant but fugitive light on the- passing train. Then, for awhile, all is again but darkness visible. There are shadows above and beneath and all around. Looking backward or forward through the deepening gloom the traveler sees an ever-receding, seemingly endless, tunnel-shaped perspective, lit at long intervals as with fiery eyes. Onward, and yet onward to no sound save the splashing made by the tall workmen tramping through mud, and the drip, drip of the water upon the hood above our heads we are dragged and pushed beneath the shingle and the sand of the shore for a time level with the beach, and then down, a quarter of a mile deep, past low-water mark, under the bed of the channel. The bore has cut clean through the gray chalk in a circle as round and true as the in side of a wedding ring. So thoroughly, in deed, is the instrument adapted to the work and to the material, that in dry places it is possible to see the chisel-marks made a couple of years ago. At intervals along the route, where it is feared the water might come through, the sides and roof have been paved with lead or clay, and held up with solid iron bands, apparently about eighteen inches wide. Sometimes, in the fitful flashes of light, the eye rests upon falling red rivulets, like streams of blood, pouring down the damp walls. Ever and anon there are "faults" in the clayey chalk not yet remedied. So we go on and on, moments seeming as minutes, until the electric lamps cease altogether and the long, awful cave is enveloped in a dark ness that would be impenetrable but for tho glimmer of a few tallow candles stuck into the bare walls of the cutting. Even a mile and more from the mouth of the shaft it is not difficult to breathe; for the same machine which works the bore pumps drives a contin uous supply of fresh air into the seven-foot pipe, which at present forms no more than the nucleus of a tunnel. At a distance of 2,300 yards from the pit-mouth we came upon the simple and wonderful piece of machinery which can pierce through the bed of the sea with extraordinary celerity and at a cost cheaper than is required for the making of an ordinary tunnel under a hilL By permis sion of the president of the Board of Trade, the engineer is allowed to make a couple of turns in order to show our party the method of its working. Presently we remount our not too comfortable carriage and pass stoop ing once more along the fearsome narrow way; pass by spaces of horrible shadows and glimpses of welcome light. And finally we are swung up through the shaft into the outer air, where the glad sunshine catches the tall cliffs face and bathes the smiling and yet un betrayed cliannel in an atmosphere of golden glory. Midsninmpr 3Ietapli3sie9. "G. F. S." in The Century. These suggestions as to the essence of a few metaphysical units are believed to be very suitable for members of summer schools of philosophy, and for all searchers after truth. They depend for their signiflcancy on the words themselves as related to the apprecia tive intuitivism of the reader: Arf is the joyous externalizing of inward ness. licduty Is the joyful internalization of out wardness. Poetry is tho hampered soul leaping at verity. Truth is the so-ness of the as-ifc-were. Right is the awful yes-ness of the over-soul meditating on the how-ness of the thing. Society is the heterogeneous, buying peace with homogeneity. A Thing is simply an is-ness. Matter is is-ness possessed of somewhat-ness. ATind is am-ness. 1'hilosophy is the mind trying to find out Its own little game. Meteoric Stones. It has been estimated that at least 5,000 meteoric stones reach the earth annually. The largest ever found is in the Royal Acad emy of Stockholm, and weighs twenty-five tons.

M." In Texas SL'tlngs. My first experience with "hired help." was a girl of 10, whose mother and grandmother before her had belonged in our family. And here let me explain that the word slave was never used in the sout h in Fpcakhig of ne groes. They were "hands" on tbrf, plantation and "servants" in tho house. .'.Thoy con sidered themselves part and parad of the family, and ChrfsUana's mother was a "fam ily servant," or born In the family. ; 1 Christi ana was a jR-rect Imp of mischief, and incor rigibly "low" in- her manners and language. Her mother deeply regretted this tendency to "lowness," and attributed it to Christiana's father. She begged me to take the girl and see if I could do anything, with her. I sug gested that she should send her to gchooL But Fanny's contempt for a white person who would mix herself up with "niggers" was deep and ineradicable, and her faith in the ability of a "nigger" to teach was of the smallest possible degree. So I took Christi ana, and, with her, much trial and tribula tion. She was very fond of sitting down behind the sitting-room stove in the evening, and we didn't object, when we were alone, to her staying there until her bedtime. One even ing Frere and I were reading and discussing Dr. Cummings' writings on the approaching end or tne world, which ho confidently pre dicted. All the next day my little imp was very thoughtful and much given to singing most melancholy hymns. Toward dinner time she was sitting on tho back door steps shelling peas and I was sewing by mi open window near by. I know I am guilty of an apparent anachronism, for to one unac quaiutcd with Texas climnte, shelling eas and sitting by an open window are hardly consistent with a stove in tho sitting-room. But green jk'os are a common Christmas dish with us, ami the noonday sun makes an 'ln wi,ll,' an,, is oftcn M ,HUl-h cessity from 12 to 3 in winter as a fir of a ne ty from 12 to o in winter as a fire is at nioruing air! evening. "Miss Rena," said Christiana after a long period of sileneo, "was it true 'bout de world com in' to a' end?" "The world coining to an end, Christiana?" "Yes'm. I nitons dat. Do you fink (Chris tiana couldn't soy think) dat tho world is goin' to stop;" "Well, Dr. Cummings is a very smart man, he ought to know, and he says it is, and very soon, too." "Den le jedgemcn day'll come tooF' "Certainly." A long pause. "Evvy nigger has to be Fponsible fub dey own self now. We ain't got no raarrters an' mistresses to lie sponsible fnh us," Foliliquizod Christiana. "I speck I letter 'fess, Miss Rena, cause if I don't freely 'fess I can't go to heaven." "Yes, you must confess your sins if you wish to be forgiven." Another pause. A retrospective look on the bronze face, and hands lying idly in her lap then : "I frowed olo missy's teef in Ie veil," she began. "You did what?" "I frowed old missy's teef in de well." How well I remembered that awful and mysterious event. I was visiting my aunt the "ole missy" referred to at tho time, and can never forget the commotion and excite ment produced by tho total disappearance of a new set of teeth from her toilet table. This was the first clearing up of the mystery now about ten years old. "What did you do that for?" "I jes wanted to make ole missy mad."' "Did your mother know iff "Ook ooml No mam, nuvver darsh to tell her. I nuvver tole nobody 'twell now, but I has to 'fess." In a few minutes sho con tinued: "Ole missy used to sen us out to pick blackbeyes for 'serves, an' she tole us not to eat any 'twell we got home, cos us use to eat more'en us brung home, an' mammy she used ter look at our teef to see if we bin eaten any. an' I use ter mash 'em wif my tongue so no body couldn't see de black on my teef. An' ole missy she'd say, 'Has jrou eat any beyes?1 An' I say, 'No, mam,' an' den she say, 'Lemme see yo teef.' An' I shet my teef to gedder, an' dey jes es white es snow, cos I mash the beyes way back in de ruff of my mouf. An' I tole mo lies an you kin shake a stick at, but I nuvver tole nuffin' seppen it wus somepen feat cake, or candy, or somepen like dat jess a leetle bit." I sugested various grave offenses of which I had known her guilty, but her answer was that they were found out and she was punished for them, and that settled the account, so sho only 'fessed what she had kept so long con cealed with a retience impossible to a white child, but very common in negroes. Soma Thins Whlttler Has Said. "I quite agree with about meeting matters, but I don't make it a specialty. The world is wide, and as the Moslem says, 'God is great.' Things will worry along somehow, as they always have done, and the end will be well." "I don't feel as our friend doe?. I don't like notoriety. I don't like that part of per sonal recognition which, when I get into a car, makes people nudge their neighbors and whisper, 'That's WhittieiT But I like the in teresting persons it has introduced to me the friends it has brought nie." To a young poet: "Be careful not to make the book too large. Don't put everything into it. let who will advise it. Sit like Rhada- i " antbus in stern judgment upon all that claims admission. I sreaJ; out of tho depths of a bitter experience." "Oh, well, a man, if he Is n man, must face some things. I recollect a time when I carao iiD of a meet:":!,;; in the old anti-slavery !-iv-. . : it .soniri rough fellows threatened us, . uii.l 1 tu; ned ami faced them, and so holding . their eyes, went out. No other way would have done, you know thetbtug for a man to do was uO face 'em, not turn his back on 'era or run." Oyster Weather. Nora Perry. "Oysters haven't been very good this spring, owing to the dry weather. How's that? Well, you know the oyster lives on stuff that runs down the rivers and into the sea eatable driftwood, as it were. When there's no rain the rivers are low, and the current is slug gish, there is not so much stuff washed into the streams, and poor Mr. Oyster finds hard picking. But when there's heavy rains, then the rivers are high and full of food for our friend, and he sits with his mouth open and just eats and drinks his fill, and gets fat and saucy. He cant go to market, you know, and so unless the market comes to him pretty well stocked it is hungry times for him. Now you know why dry weather makes poor oysters." Ben's Expression. Louisville Courier-JournaL Ben Butler's health has been so injured by his hard work that he can scarcely get on the sweet, sad smile required by his pho tographer. Any campaign portraits of Benjamin that are not up to the mark should be considered as the melancholy result of ex cessive Massachusetts toil. Diplomacy. Boston Transcript. We know a lady who wouldn't fib for the world; but when anybody asks ber about her hoes, what number she wears, she always re plies "Twos." As she has two feet, she of course speaks the truth ; but this shows the difference between lyin and diplomacy. 'A. Feminine Bank President.
