recognize that whether the event is ood

is that the doctors renr.l tho situation
as precarious while the pus still continues
and the fever remains intermittent. The

which compel readers to modify hope.
The phrase "hrcr.thing somewhat heavier"
is much comm .-uted upon. At the bourse

A Serious Practical Joko.
Uikminoh am, All.. April 20. Last
niglit a practical joke, which may result
seriously, was played on a negro named
Tom JacLcsn at Wood's saloon, on south
Twentiv.tli street. A fa',y days ago a
negro who lived in an alley near that
saloou died and was buried in a small
lot ju--t back of the saloon, Jackson is
very uj) rstitioiH, especially about
ghosts. .Since the other negro died he
h is expressed his fear of seeing the man's
gho-t several times. Last night two ne
gro boys covered their facos, bauds and
heads with l! jur and hid naar the grave.
When Jackson came along iney rushed
out, and, after yelling a time or two, ran
at him. The poor negro was completely
paralyzed with fright. lie screamed and
fell to the ground. The other two ne
groes rushed up, and Jackson sprang to
his fett witli Lis eye; fairly starting
front heir sockets, and dashed oft like a
wild ant.-bp.'. He ran into a drug store
and fell tj the llor unconscious and
frothing at the n.cuth. Physicians were
-ummcned and tho mm removed to his
';)ine, but ho has not recovered from the

A Curious Class of 3Ien.
Speaking of barrooms, I have often noticed
r ei tain cui'i'ous class of men wlio appear tc
i.iK.ul thbic entire live3 within easy reach of
the counter where bottled Inspiration is dis
pensed. 1 do not mean the wretched class of
bangers on who spend their lives waiting to
lie asked what they will have, but men of
mean, whom the barroom teems to pos
sess tho attraction that other men of means
find in a club. They are- always elderly or
old men. They always spend money liber
ally, and they always make their appear
uuco on the alcoholie "scene early in thu morn
ing, quite sober, and get eo -drunk by noon
that tho rest of tha day is on of stupid, im
becilic idleness with him. There is one man
I know, who is very wealthy, a bachelor and
a traveled and educated man, whose entire
life is, I think, spent in getting drunk and
bciug uliered up at a c-rtain saloon that. hj
frequents! He must represent a oniall f oi luho
to the house, where ha is cherished aa ten
derly, iu his cpp, fw ft sick baby, foil, put to
bed and watched over as a goose that Jaya
golden eggs always should e. Now and then
he disappears for a few days or a week or
two, when j-ou may know that he is straight
ening up at his own house, which is ono of
jlie hajd,oiitst i-ld inausLms iu Ys'k,
But ha no sooner gets on his feet than they
carry him to the barroom, where he draws a
checK for the expenses 0 the last spree, and
tho old game begins again.
At a certain old fashioned ar-d popular
chop house not a, millioii uulea f i ota Madison,
square there are several of these topers to bb
encountered daily. Oua of them I remember
for years. Ho turr.3 up every morning, Sun
day's included, at 0 o'clock. By 11 ho has
had a dozen cocktails and is ready for break
fast. By 3 he is drunk enough to be taken
;ipstairs to bed, whence he emerges at 8
t'clock m thrf owning to eat his dinner, Hjg
after dinner drunk carries bira along well to
ward midnight, when, if he is not too hope
lessly helpless, ho is bundled into a coach and
sent home. For a long time I was a daily
visitor at tho chop houso which enjoys his
profitable favor and I never onco missed
him! Lately, having visited the place again,,
I found him there as usual, neither more nor
less drunk than usual and looking none the
worse for the sea of alcohol in which he has
been floating himself these many years. He
is, I believe, a man of largo means, inherited
from his father, and has never been known
o lead any other than tho degraded, selfish
and useless life which first attracted my at
tention to him. Alfred Truinhle in Tew

THE CRATER OP VESUVIUS.
A Ciond LooU Into tli I-ptlin of the
Orrnt Aliytm of i'lre ami llrlniittni.
We stood at the great gulf in tho mountain
top at the crater of the most active volcano
ia tlm world. From the great ubyss lieforo
us came clouds of thiek, sulphurous vaor,
with a sound sometimes as if thunder storms
were ln-ing manufactured within, and again
as if tho hosts of hades were down there, lit
tling furiously with each other. We could
readily U'lieve what we are told by scien
tists that a volcano is a constant war Ikj-twit-n
the ocean of water that is always not
far away and the ocean of fire that raos iu
sidtj the earth. Now and then great llovks
of stones wont flying hundreds of feet into
the air, und at tho end of their return jour
ney alighted as near us as we cared to have
them.
Wishing to get another view of tho crater,
I engaged two extra guides, who, for tho
modest sum of $1 extra, contracted to show
mo everything additional that one could
witness, and yet hope to descend the mount
ain on the outside, and take dinner in tho
evening with his friends. After exhibiting
several points upon thoir anatomy where
bones had lieeri lvr!:p V f-.'!! - , , ;
of which seemed to have healed remarkably)
they led mo straight into the thick sulphury
steam, which was about as stifling as any
thing I ever undertook to breathe, and
made the phj-sieal interior feel as if it were
being treated to a sudden attack of sponta
neous combustion. We descended into a
crater valley .which was full of vapor breath
ing crevices, and weird enough to form one
of tho most interesting districts of Dante's
"Inferno." Suddenly my guides made a
break for fresh air and the outer edgo of the
crater, and I, supposing that some tremen
dous new historical convulsion of nature was
at hand, used about a second and a half in
following them so as to get a good look at it
from a safo oint.
"Great dangcro!" shouted tho swarthy vil
lain who had my five francs. "It blows,
this the wind! a wrong way I Half tho hour
ago, all it was different! If you then had
only ljeen here! But we must now go it
back!"
Tho average Yankee, however cownrdly,
had rather lose his life fairly than bo swin
dled out cf a dollar; and, besides, I had
been told of this trick by a f riend who had
ascended tho volcano tho day before. io,
hiding all iny trembling fcar3, I insisted on
tbo whole trip to the edge of "the now cra
ter." "It is death with ordy two guides," said
tho swarthy villain. "Two moro guides you
must h.if, that they shall warn and keep the
falling stones from killing j-ou."
At this point new guides began to spring
up around me, as if they had been ejected
from among the contents of the volcano.
Not wishing to fake too many of them into
certain destruction, I ignored all except tho
smallest one, and, shaking my cane at him
with an assumed courago whieh 1 did not
exactly feel, threatened him with instant de
struction entirely disconnected with volca
noes if ho did not follow out tho terms of
tho contract.
Wo wero soon at luo best point from which
to vif-w tho great drama of fir that vvns gq;
ing on. beneath. Flames font their ruddy
glow upon the swelling clouds of vapor that
constantly pushed their way into tho air.
Now and then camo a sob from the Lreast of
the cruel mountain, as if it wero mourning
for tho thousands it had murdered. Tho sul
phur fumes mado me feel as if tho volcano
wero reaching out its long white fingers and
clutching rne by the throat. A half grating
and half hissing sound was followed by axi
explosion hkq the voice of 'a cannon, and a
long stono wall went stretching up. into tho
air in fragments tectiens, between mo and
that invisible locality where the sky was sup
posed to be. I scon began to persuade myself
that it was unjust to exposa theguido to peril
any longer, and, to set a good example, sctair

A 3Ian wltli a lli.story.
Come walk with me down the avenue.
Note the characters you meet. Every one
cf them has a history. See that little old
man, with his shoes cut in many places to
ease his corns. Note his rusty clothes, his
rusty hat, tho little clay pipe with a bowl no
bigger than a thimble which he smokes, and
note also the kind smile which rests ujon his
gray whiskered face. He shuffles along,
bowing courteously to such as remember
him. There are few who do. But in the
days of Buchanan this man was one of tha
leading beaux of Washington. He has
been second in many a duel, and he be
lieves today in tho code duello
He ws3 ono of the pall bearers at
the funeral of Barton Key, after he was shot
by Gen. Sickles orj that corner over there,
not two blocks away. His father was one ot
the most eminent lawyers that Washington
has ever known, and the son was well edu
cated. Washington, however, and Wr &V.iug
ton life, ruined hirrj. Jts innocuous dosuetude
tapped his energy, and tho fortune which his
father left him has passed away. I will not
mention his name, but he is well known in
Washington, and he has, 1 think, no sin but
that of poverty.
And so tho world, goes pn. Tha ups oi to
dy are the downs pi to-morrow. The sena
tor becomes aa ofilco seeker, and theTclerk
takes the place of the cabinet oClcer. Wash
