"Mat, terry bat. 1 liar der chop, hut vcro Is der heeples?" Mr. Hill glanced over tho shop. There was no usslstniit to bacconist whose discharge could ho recom mended.

Some months ago Mr. Hill visile 1 tho olllce (f a railroad in the stock cf which he had Just obtained an inllm ntliil Interest. Glancing through the doorway or one huge otllco room, ho asked, curtly: "How many men here?" "About eighty-live," was the answer. "Can t you get along witli Uss? " "No, we never could."

Hornce Greeley usually reached the Tri btinu olllce about 1 p. in., relates the ilo.k inan, and going to his "don" (a .very, cramped, fix'.t apology tor n room) had to pass thiough the main editorial sanctum, where several of the writers had their desks. The chief coming in one afternoon, somebody ventured to remark: "Mr. Gree ley, that was n rather had slip In your edi torial on 'Tompornnco' this morning!" Mr. Greeley stopped In his shambling progress toward his room, pushed his spectacles over his forehead nnd demnnded tho cause of this sudden nssnult. It wns then explained to him tbnt ho hnd written n sentence some thing llko this: "Wo refer to sherry. Hold sick, port, Mndclrn, champagne and other kinds of wine," as though Ileldslck were a variety by Itself Mr. Greeley thought a sec ond nnd then, with n humorous twinkle In his eyes, drawled out: "I guess I'm ih only man here that could have made that mlBtnkc!" Needless to add that the subject was not pursued further by tho critics of the staff. On ono occasion Mr. Greeley had written nn article wherein ho referred to tho Inter national yacht race, In which the present James Gordon Mennett participated, and commented on certain tactics or his regard ing a locality known as Plum Gut. Th's article Mr. Smnlley, who was athletic and prided himself on his knowledge or yacht ing matters, took the liberty or altering, as he round In It n statement which lie was convinced wns Inaccurate.

Mr. Greeley's likes and dislikes were ofien unaccountable and ills lending ynuug Cornelius Yauilerbilt various sums or money, reaching in the aggregate to a large amount, In spite of the "commodore's" strenuous opposition, wns as strange, In a different way, as his slgn'ng the ball bond of tho former president of tho southern confederacy. It Is relatid. In this connec tion, that Commodore Yauderhllt once sent a meshage to tho editor of the Tribune ask ing the favor or a call. Mr. Greeley went. Tho "commodore" said In eiroct: "Mr. Greeley, you know very well Hint I don't want you to give 'Corned' money; you must stop It, nnd I give you Tnlr warning that I shall never repay a cent or whnt you havo lent him!" "Who tho h 1 asked you to?" Is said to have been Mr. Greeley's reply as ho shambled out of tho room. Pointed Paragraphs Chicago Nowb: It's n short alley thnt has no nsh hnrrel.
