When any person of the present day
visits a church, especially the youn, they
expect to sue the interior have an inviting
aspect, the minister dressed neatly and
even look handsome, healthy and cheer
ful.
Ministers have a very poor salary in
small cities, sometimes about twelve dol
lars a week, out of which they are sup
posed to ornament the church, pay for
hack hire to visit.urid comfort the sick or
dying, miles in the country, purchase
bookcases and many expensive hooks on
Christian theology and every other ology
. connected with logic, give entertainments
to his congregation, head every subscrip
tion list and help every deserving and
undeserving person that comes to town
These remarks do not apply to the larger
cities. It takes money to run a'churcl
the same as any other institution, and :
man or woman who is too miserly to put
a nickel or dime into a collection plate
or basket on the Sabbath is actio ir con
trary to all scriptural teachings. Such a
person is worthy the scorn of the widow
who gave her mite and the condemnation
of every righteous or unrighteous citizet.

"The fact is," remarked Mr. Richard
Cogan, one of the dealers, "that there is
not, and probably never was an original

course, one struck in that year. It is
pretty well established now that at that
time it was the custom to use a set of
lies at the mint till they wero worn ont,
irrespective of the yoar they were dated.
It ia more than probable that all the spec
imens that were struck from the die of
1801 were made subsequent to that date.
"Of the thirteen or fourteen that are
now known to exist," said Mr. Cogan,
"two are in this city, four in Boston, one
in San Francisco, one in Denver,
and the others are scattered rdl over the
intervening country. I could give you
the name of every person who owns one.

evidently been in circulation. This does
not usually add to the value of a coin,
but in this ease, if this eould be made to
prove that it was struck in the year it
was dated, it might make a big diucr
eoee." "How much is a specimen worth to
day?" asked the reporter.
"That would be pretty hard to say,"
replied Mr. Cogan. "They have sold ali
the way from $600 to $1,500, and that,
too, for the same specimens. There are so
few of them that they have no regular
market value and the price paid for them
depends entirely upon how badly the pur
chaser wants one. Probably if oue was
offered for sale today it could not be
bought for less than 1,000. New York

A Bomanllo Maiden' Mintalce.
She was very romantic. Her father
was a millionaire, whose life had been de
voted to sausage raising. He was very
practical naturally, but all the poetry of
her family was right in her. She was be
loved by another millionaire's son, but she
had been reading romances and stuff, and
when he proposed to her she declared he
must do something poetical for her.
"Dearest, what can I do?"
"Become a poor artist."
"I couldn't be any other kind of an art
ist."
"I mean you must pretend to be a poor
artist. Pa does not know you. lou
must come and make love to me and I
will fall in love with you. Pa will object
and make a row. We will elopo and get
caarrit J, and when it'a all over we'll tell
him, aud it will be delightful."
And so he became a poor artist and took
a poor studio and daubed on canvases and
pretended to paint pictures. And there
was another millionaire's daughter got to

picture. In those delightful little tete-a-tates

maiden, and when the romantic maiden

Two Classes of Russian Priests.
The priesthood of the Russian church
is composed of two classes, the white and
black clergy, The latter are monks be
longing to the several orders of religious
seclusion, and from their numbers all the
bishops and higher ecclesiastical officials
are chosen. They are teachers in the
schools, also tutors in the families of the
nobles, and many of them have been cele
brated for their scholarship, their artistic
genius and literary gifts. Asceticism is
not practiced as it is in the Roman church,
except by certain orders in monastic lifo
and in the fulfillment of vows. During
the last century the church estates were
secularized and confiscated by the crown;
then the emancipation of the serfs de
prived the religious orders of a great part
of their wealth, some of the monasteries
owning 20,000, 30,000 and even 50,000
serfs. This was a severe blow to them,
and only a few, such as were possessed of
other wealth, survived it. At present
there are about 500 monastic establish
ments throughout the empire, and most
of them are wealthy.
There is a feeling of bitter hostility ex
isting between the white and black clergy.
The former are the city and village priests,
or popes, as they are called. They accuse,
the black clergy of laziness and indiffer
e?ice to their vows, William Eleroy Cur

While tho reporter sat watching him
and waiting to hear about his observa
tions upon human nature, the dull brown
tatter-festooned chain of misery that
moved its human links along the front of
his desk was suddenly broken by u very
charming variation upon its monotony.
An exceedingly pretty young woman,
with pouting red lips, sparkling eyes and
rose leaf complexion; a young woman
prettily gloved, wearing rich furs and
costly jewelry, and a inarvclously hand
some hat altogether quite a patrician
esquo young woman stopped before Mr.
Illalce aud said:
"Wo have a tenant; a widow with a
child, who cannot pay her rent. We have
with ti notice of :i.iit'.oioii, but we
can't put her out because her child is
very sick. So I want you to send an am
bulance and take the child away to some
hospital."
"Yon want us to take the sick and per
haps flying child away from its mother,
tso i&c you can throw the mother into
the street and let your room to a better
paying tenant!"
"Yes, Rir," replied the young woman
stiffly, but with a little flush on her
cheeks, as if she was just beginning to real
ize that her attitude might not be admired
by people weak enough to bo humane.
Mr. Blake's eyes projected themscdves,
and he seemed making an effort to swal
low some words that would not have
sounded prettily. After a brief but im
pressive silence ho answered sternly:
".No, I shall do nothing of tho sort. If
the poor mother brings her sick child and
asks us to care for it, we will do the best
we can, but we have no right to do what
yon ask. We never interfere between
landlord and tenant."
The handsome young woman reddened
angrily, and exclaimed argumentatively
"But she can't pay her rent!"
"I have told you that I can do nothing
for you," replied Mr. Blake, in a tone of
disgust; "we do not interfere between
landlord and tenant."
Ihe pretty female Shylock gave her
head an indignant toss, flashed a look of
scorn upon the poor wretches surround
ing her who were listening and viewing
her with expressions of loathing and sur
prise and quickly went out.
a. paie, tniu, weary looking young wo
man, still bearing traces of beauty, came
up to the desk, and said, with evident
effort:
"My little boy is deaf and dumb, and
paralyzed. I can no longer keep him. I
have come to see If you will put him in
some institution where he will be warm
and taken care of."
"Are you a widow?"
"No, sir. I have a husband, but he can
get little work to do. We aro very poor,
aud have another child, which is all we
can take care of."
"I will send your child to Randall's is
land, where he will le very well cared for,
if j-ou desire it. When will you bo read,
to have the ambulance take him away?"
She seemed to hesitate, but nerving her
self, replied:
"Any time, sir."
"Very well, the ambulance will call for
him to-morrow morning."
She turned very pale, her lips quivered,
and her eyes filled with tears as she ex
claimed impulsively:
"Oh! sir, make it Friday. Let me have
hi:n one more day."
Mr. Blake kindly told her how well her
little afflicted boy would be cared for,
which was the best consolation she could
have had, and when she went away re
marked to tho reporter: "There's more
human nature for you. I wonder if that
young Shylock who was in here a while
ago will ever have in her breast a mother's
heart as tender as that of the woman who
just went out."
The clanking of the human chain that
drags itself before Superintendent Blake's
desk is ttlmost wholly in a minor key.
Now and then, however, there is a little
relief to its monotony.
A young German Jstood confidently up,
and in response to tiie question, asked in
German, "IIovv long have you been in this
country?" replied placidly: "I arrived
yesterday."
"My God!" ejaculated Blake. "And
you've found this place already! Well, I've
known of their being pretty soon before,
but he is the freshes? thing I've seen yet."
liie reeeut arrival was sent back to
Castle Garden. Tho state board of chari
ties and our municipal commissioners of
charities and correction have plenty of
business in shipping off paupers, the
burden of whosa support properly belongs
tipon other communities and even in other
countries.
"The Swiss cantons," said Dr. Hcyt,
"openly and boldly ship us their paupers,
even claiming a right to do 60, and com
placently invite us to reciprocate by send
ing our paupers to them, if we can. But
we cannot. Catch our paupers going to
Switzerland! Not much. They know
when they are well off. . We also get
great numbers of tho most undesirable
clas3 of immigrants from the Austro
Polish, Italian and German lowest c' asses;
the greater numbers and the worst the
Anstro Polish. They come here to live
by begging and crime, and if we do not
succeed in catching them and turning
them back they are a burden practically
from the day th?y land."
A tall, thin man, erect, bronzed by ex
posure to the elements, and wearing a
sailor's hat, wanted to be sent to Boston.
"I have been discharged from the
Trenton," he said, "and it seems pretty
hard, for I've been in the service since
1SG1; but it was my own fault. I want
now to go buck to where I have friends
and take a fresh start."
Whatever his fault had been, the poor
fellow looked as if he had repented of it,
and hi manly way of accepting the situ
ation disarmed criticism and moralizing.
