THE RICHEST MAN.
BY &-W-BLAISDKXT-, JR.
Id VdrcToftlie valley hath wealth untold;
Aye, vastly rich is he.
He hath houses and lands, and store of gold.
And stalely Bhips on the sear
Yet his spirit fs mean and his Bearr is poor,
Aye, poor and shrivel'd and cold.
For he knows no love bat the lovo of selfr
And he knows no god but gold.
OMMord of the mountain the world calls
poor,
Nor houses nor ships hath he ;
His acres are few and his cottage small,
Yet n prince among men in he.
His heart is as warm as the genial sun,
And hath store of love untold ;
And ho Ibveth far belter his fellow men
Than houses, or lands, or gold.
Then give roe tbelot of old Mountain Moid,
And his rich warm heart give me.
And take If you wilt the heart of Vord,
With his riches on land and sea.
For the poor man's lot were better far
And the poor man's weary toll
Than to crawl through life with a miser heart
And ko hence with a pauper soul.

UNLICENSED LIQUOR DEALERS.
The souls of the liquor dealers of
this city are being agitatated just now
by tHe action of the Excise Commis
sioners, who are hunting down those
who sell the ardent without proper li
cense. The Liquor Dealers' Protec
tive Union resisted the law; but in
the test case the courtwent against
them, and wide-spread consternation
ensued, as well it might, as not one
in five of the thousands of saloons in
the city ever look out a license. The
decision of the court makes every one
of them liable to heavy penalties, and
the police are determined to bring
them to the score, no matter at what
cost. They hope to be able to close
about a thousand of them by this
means.
EXTRAVAGANCE IN DRKS9
has alwaj'a been charged to the fem
inine account: but this winter, it
strikes me, the sterner sex may fairly
take their Jshare of condemnation.
une ncn young man recently pur
chased two seal-skin coats, costing
severally $500 and $900, and two Ul
ster coats, the belt buckles wrought
In massive gold and equally massive
silver. What do you think of that?
One man paying $2,000 for overcoats
with thousands about him wanting
bread! True It is that every rich
young man in New York does not buy
such extravagant articles; but the
mania for rich clothing, extravagant
ly rich clothing, has taken possess
ion of young New York.
To pay $150 for an overcoat Is noth
ing rare, and a suit, from hat to boots,
including overcoat, that does not go a
long way into $300 is not mucli of a
suit. Add to this the diamond studs,
-the ring, the watch, aud the other
adornments, and Charles Augustus
manages to carry about with him the
best end of $2,000, whloh has to be re
newed very frequently. But, never
theless, they have cut down the $G50
salaries of the poor teachers seven
per cent., and are standing outagainst
the 'longshoremen, who want enough
wages to keep soul and body together.
Speaking of the
'longshoremen,
their strike is general, and embraces
the many thousands of men who find
their daily bread in loading and un
loading ships. It would seem the
heigh th of folly for any set of labor
ers to strike at the beginning of a long
winter, but the 'longshoremen have
from the nature of their employment,
fair prospects of success. Any man
can roll a barrel, but every man oan
not put a package properly in the
hold of a vessel, or take It out with
out damage. It is a trade. And
when a vessel arrives, the demand for
the services of the 'longshoremen Is
immediate and pressing. The raw
man cannot take his place. There
are 9,000 of these men. They have
made the demand for forty cents an
hour for day work, and sixty for night
work, and they are well organized to
hold out. The steamship companies
are trying to get other meu, but the
trouble Is the skill. Novices make
bad work of it. The
COOPERS
ore still holding out, and are organiz
ing co-operative shops, that enough
employment may be had to keep the
Btrike from being a failure. Other oc
cupations are banding together, in
most cases, however, to prevent
threatened reduction of wages. There
will bo Inevitably a great deal of
TROUBLE AND SUFFERING
In the city this winter. Labor is
very scarce now, and as the cold
weather puts Its veto on the little
building that is going on, more men
will bo thrown out of employment,
and the trouble will increase. The
city is a cruel place for a man out of
work; rent, food, fuel, everything
costs so much that when the daily la
bor that supplies it stops, starvation
or the aocepting of charity Is only a
few weeks ahead. It costs a laborer
all he cau earn to-day to live to-day
he cannot provide for the morrow
when work stops. Heaven help the
poor this season !
SERVANTS.
One of the great troubles In the
Bmall towns aud cities of the country
Is to get properly trained and educat
ed servants. This want can now be
supplied at a trifling cost. A number
of charitable ladies who have time
and money more than they know
what to do with, and some little
heart, established, a year or so ogo, a
training-school, to fit girls for service,
on Tenth street. They take rawgirls
and teach them to cook, wash, iron,
sew, to wait at table, and do every
thing that comes under the general
head of housework. The work of
preparation is done in no slovenly
way. Twice a. week a French cook
goes into the- kitchen with all the
girls, and delivers to. them, a lecture
on the preparation of such dishes as
he selects, illustrating by actually do-
Ing the work before them, and mak
ing them do it. They run a laundry,
a restaurant, and a dress-making es
tablishment in the house, to the end
that it shall be, not only of use to the
girls by teaching them their duties by
actual practice, but that rt shall bo
self-sustaining, which it is. The
school has taken thousands of poor
girls who were starving because they
did not know how to work, and has
turned them out capable and intelli
gent and worthy of good work and
good wages anywhere. The manag
eress of this sensible charity is Mrs.
Julia Corson, and It is located at 47
East Tenth Street. A girl from this
school is almost certain to bo honest
and capable. Housekeepers in want
of good, trained servants will do well
to make a note of It.
HIGH BUILDINGS.
The mania now running among
those who build at all Is altitude.
Some years ago the Equitable Life
Insurance Company ran up a build
ing that loomed above anything else
on lower Broadway, and since that
height bus run in the minds of every
body. The new Tribune building Is
nine immense.' stories high, with a
tower almost touchinsr the sky: tho
new building of the Western Union
Telegraph Company is almost as
high ; the Domestio Sewing Machine
Company Is eight; the new post-office
cannot be counted in stories, but
it is an enormous building, and so on.
The view of the city from tho Jersoy
City Ferry is becoming peculiarly
pleasant. These buildings, with the
scores of others, tower up above their
surroundings, relieving wonderfully
tho monotonous uniformity which
formerly wearied the eye. Those tall
buildings do not pay in fact, every
one of them is a dead loss above the
fourth story; but, nevertheless, I
hope tho building of them will go on.
They beautify the city, and tho pub
lic get a benefit whether the proprie
tors do or not. It is a fact that none
of these buildings pay three per cent,
on the cost of construction and pres
ent price of ground; but the proprie
tors all live in hope of the future.
"Hone springs eternal in tho human
breast."
THANKSGIVING
was more generally observed In tho
city this year than ever beforei AH
business, except the saloons and res
taurants, was suspended, and the day
was devoted to jollity, hilarity, und
what wa3 better, charity. The vari
ous charitable institutions of the city
were supplied with more than usual
liberality, and every deserving poor
person in the city got one good square
meal. At the three mission-houses
in the Five Points over 3,000 people
were fed. The prisons all gave the
inmates a speoial dinner, and all hos
pitals, charities and all other insti
tutions did likewise. The newsboys'
homes and lodging-houses had a
grand time. The little ragamuffins
were bathed, their hair combed, and
their clothes dusted, and a good din
ner given them, and for one day in
the-year they were happy. It is to
the credit of the citizens that, harda3
the times are, the contributions of
provisions and other supplies were
far beyond those of any preceding
year. It went a long way toward re
storing confidence in human nature,
to see the enormous piles of meats,
cakes, bread, butter, and every other
possible thing to eat, piled up before
tho doors of the charities all the free
gifts of citizens, and unsolicited, ex
cept by tho usual announcements in
the newspapers. There.is somo good
in humanity yet.
Services were, of course, held in all
the churches, and to the credit of
New York let it bo recorded that they
ANOTHER ENOCH aUDEN.
Tennyson lived too early, and the
story of Enoch Arden was written too
eoon; for almost every day some
strange event brings up the reflection
that all the songs of the Sierras have
not yet been sung, nor the strange
happenings in the land where the Or
egon hears no sound save that of its
own dashings have been told.
The particulars which follow might
well be set down as a reportorial fan
cy were they not well know to a
number of witnesses who reside in
this city, some of whom are acquaint
ed with one of the characters of the
chapter.
ACT 1.
It was over forty years ago in the
State of Indiana that two lovers rip
ened into one and started out Ui life
with one resolve.
Hand in hand two forms turned to
the West to seek a fortune which
seemed to stand upon the mountain
tops and beckon them on. It was
summer in tho shades of the forests
upon tho slopes, and spring time In
the valleys, so that the journey was
made while nature was tendering an
ovation in tho earth.
For two years these two dwelt to
gether away from kindred and early
associates, fortune meanwhile laying
its treasures at the door of their house
hold. To add to their comforts and
joys, a beautiful child tripped before
them and learned songs from the
murmur of the sea, which she sang
beneath the thatch of tho house that
opulence had built in the valley.
ACT II.
Suddenly there camo a change
which caused as strange a story as
has seldom been told. The wife, still
in the bloom of womanhood, aban
doned the roof of her husband, tak
ing the child with her. No reason was
left for her action, aud tho husband
went about his worldly affairs, trust
ing to time to bring about a solution
of what appeared to him to be the
most mysterious occurrence in the
world.
After a while he heard that she
was married and living in the States.
He kept the secret close in his heart,
and continued to amass a fortune
which to-day is estimated at $100,000.
Soon after he received an appoint
ment as U. S. interpreter of the Flat
head Indians in Oregon Territory.
But In tho midst of his cares ho forgot
not tho days when he had loved a fair
thing in tho East, and the pilgrimage
they raado together across tho West
ern main. Twenty-five years ago he
came back with the hope that ho might
find the object ho still ohorished
with the fondness of youth. Inquiry
was of no avail, find he returned to
the spot where the ouly delightful
period of his life had been passed.
Fifteen year were added to his life,
and still the story of the old, old love
came back to him. He was growing
Infirm and once more he reasoned, bo
fore the summons should come he
would make another effort to find the
only bride his life and heart had ever
known.
ACT III.
He arrived in Knsa3 City Tuesday
morniug, haviug heard tliHtthe object
of his search was living with her fcec
ond husband in the quiet little village
of Water Valley, Clay county, Mo.,
four miles distant from tills city.
Tupsday night he was under her roof.
Forty years of separation ! The bride
had grown gray, and the innocent
child was in the prime of life, married,
and living happily with the mother.
Tho father and husband told the
story of his life aud of his fortune,
and again asked the wife of his youth
to make auother journey with him to
the land over the mountains. This
DXaklng p a for Deficiency.
Judge Collins so wo will call him
a well known and highly respected
Knickerbocker, on the shady side of
fifty, widower with five children, full
of fun and frolic, ever ready with a
joke to give or take was bantered
the other evening by a miss of five
and twenty for not taking another
wife. She urged that he was hale and
hearty, and deserved a matrimonial
messmate.
The Judge acknowledged the fact,
admitted that he was convinced by
the eloquence of his fair friend that
.ho had thus far been very remiss, and
expressed contrition for the fault con
fessed, ending with offering himself
to the lady, telling her she certainly
could not reject him after pointing
out to him his henious offence. Tho
lady replied that sho would be most
happy to tako the situation so unique
ly advertised, and become bone of his
bone and flesh of his flesh, but there
was one, to her, most serious obstacle.
"Well," said the Judge, "name it.
My profession is to surmount such im
pediments." "Ah, Judge, this Is beyond your
powers. I have vowed If ever I mar
ry a widower he must have ten chil
dren." "Ten children ! Oh, that's noth
ing," said the Judge ; "I'll give you
five now, and my notes on demand,
in installments, for the remainder."
It it needless to ada that they were
married Without deluy.

THE NEW KING OP THE TURF.
NEBRASKA.
Many have doubted whether Ne
braska is an agricultural State, but
there cau be no question whatever,
a3 to its adoptability for stock raising.
Hundreds of Nebraekaus have be
come wealthy through the raising of
stock particularly sheep and cattle,
aud thousands are yet to reap riches
in this State from the same fruitful
source. It becomes all who ure in
this business or who intend to engage
in it to procure the very best breeds
attainable, for it is an acknowledged
fact that the best are as easily and as
cheaply raised as the poorest, (often
cheaper,) and it Is the madness of fol
ly to "scrub" along when an invest
ment of a few dollars more would
procure in time the best of btbek that
would command the highest prices.
A Nebraska gentleman, engaged in
this business for thirteen years, went
to Chicago last year for the first time,
and on his return he told us that
through all these years he thought he
had been raising stock but he found
at Chicago that ho had been mistak
en. It pays every time to have good
stock when you have any at all.
In this connection wo make note of
Wm. B. Coffin, whose efforts in ac
quiring wealth for himself, and in
demonstratintr the principle that we
1 have just been speaking of, are alike
commendable.
What we need here is the best of
sheep aud the best of cattle, and the
man who introduces mem ana wno
emphasizes their Introduction by care
and consequent profit will be recog
nized by practical and common-sense
people os a public benefactor. Colum

The Eochester Democrat tells a
good-little-boy-story which might do
in many other cities of larger dimen
sions than pretty Rochester. The
time was five o'clock. A swing
bridgo had just opened, and it was a
miserable, wet day. A charitable la
dy stood waiting for the closing of the
bridge, and the good little boy, who
was not over twelve years of ago,
moved along, miserably clad, thro'
the mud. "Ain't that rather cold
work, my little man?" said the lady.
Did he burst into tears and say that
his father was a drunkard and moth
er was dead? Did he turn up his
eye3 to Heaven and long to be with
the angels in the far-off land? No;
he didn't do anything of the kind.
He merely turned his head and re
marked: "Go to Hell!"" That boy

Not having seen the great race, the
next thing wast see the victorious
racer, so to-day I drove out to call on
Fellowcraft. Fellowcraft is as gentle
as a little dog, and submitted to be
ing kissed and patted with a quiet
ness that almost became patronizing
condecension. He has not a proud
air, however, like some of the racers
of his family, notably his undo, As
teroid, who always strikes an attitude
when visitors approach him. Fel
lowcraft looks rather meek, but yet
has an air of determination as if con
scious that When things' become seri
ous he would show who was who.
Ho is a chestnut, and has some of the
Lexington marks, a pair of very long
white stockings on his hind legs, and
a good-sized star on his forehead. His
mane and tail aro decidedly blonde,
just tho red-yellow with which the
blonde of tho period has familiarized
us. He had on his traveling clothes
of red flannel, but one of his attend
ants kindly removed his bonnet to
show his face. Fellowcraft hurt him
self not a whit in tho race ; ho camo
in those present at tho finish told
mo perfectly fresh, and looking as If
he could run another four miles. He
ate a good square meal, full rations, as
soon as it was offered him after the
race, and no better sign of health can
a horse evince.

were all crowded. Possibly the extra sno refused to do at this time
decoratious and the unusually superb
music had something to do with tho
attendance.
The sermons were, as a rule, non
sectarian, the pastors devoting them
selves largely to the graudest of all

Beecher's church was literally jam
med, and thousands were turned
away. Business being suspended, all
the strangers in tho hotels went to see
tho hero of tho great scandal, which,
in addition to the usual attendance,
made a mighty throng.
BUSINESS
continues to improvo as tho season
goes on, much to the gratification of
tho merchants. Buyers begin to be
abswlutely lively, and something of
the old time has come back again.
THE WEATHER
is as pleasant as it can be. It Is not
especially cold, and tho skies are
bright and the oir bracing and heal
thy ; consequently there is very little
sickness in the city. If business
were only better, and employment for
the laborers was not so scarce, the
season would be a delightful one. But
we can't have everything.

An arrangement was made, howev

THE CURTAIN FALLS.
Ho Is to visit Indiana, whore he
will remain during tho winter. On
tho opening of spring he Is to call this
way on his return, where he will bo
joined by the only one ho has loved.
and to whom he has been faithful for
forty weary years.
This is the story as it camo from the
lips of a man in whoso face there was
a shadow yesterday of tho sunlight of
spring; upon whoso lips there were
whispera of hope, and in whoso heart
there sprang up anticipations that
seemed to make ogo forget its bur
dens. Who will uot wish him another
bridal journey over tho mountains by
the sun, when the next spring-time
Shall come? Kansas City Times.
There Is a cifrious prescription in
England for the cure of drunkouness,
by which thousands aro said to have
been assisted in recovering them
selves. The reelpo came into notorio
ty through tho efforts of John Vine
Hall, father of the Rev. Newman
Hall and Capt. Vine Hall, command
er of the Great Eastern steamship.
He had fallen into such habitual
drunkenness that hisutmost efforts to
regain himself proved unavailing. At
length he sought the advice of an em
inent physiciau, who gave him a pre
scription which he followed faithfully
for several months, and at tho end of
that time he had lost all desire for
liquors, although" ho had for many
years been led by a most debasing ap
petite. The recipe, which he after
wards published, and by which so
many have been assisted to reform, is
as follows: "Sulphate of iron, five
grains; magnesia, 10 grains; pepper
miut water, 11 grains; spirit of nut
meg, 1 drachm; to be taken twico a
day." This preparation acts as a ton
ic and stimulant, and so partly sup
plies the place of tho accustomed li
quor, and prevents that absolute phys
ical and moral prostration that fol
lows a sudden breaking off from the
use of stimulating drinks.
General Grant, in his brief speech,
declared that, in tho death of Lin
coln, the South lost its best friend.
We beLeve the President. Lincoln
was tho most conscientious and sensi
ble man in the whole Republican par
ty. He was the best friend we had in
that party. Richmond Dispatch.
Nearly every Democratic paper in
the South would probably echo the
above. And yet, up to the day of
Lincoln's assassination they denounc
ed him as a boor aud a brutal tyrant
a work in which they were aided by
the Democratic press of the North
somo of them even going so far as to
publish advertisements offering a re
ward for his head. Now these same
papers confess their utter watit of sa
gacity and common sense by profess
ing to regard the man whom they
traduced and villified to the very
mouth of the grave, and whose as
sassination they encouraged, if they
did not directly plot it, as a true
friend of the South. They are un
doubtedly right in this last judgment,
but of what value has the discovery
of their mistake been to them? They
continue to assail the purest patriots
with tho vilest acfiusdtioris, simply
because they are Republicans ; aud
were President Lincoln to rise from
the grave to-day and to resume the
place at the head of the nation from
which he was removed by assassina
tion, scarcely a month would elapse
before the flood-gates of defamation
would be opened against him as wide
as ever. Blind partisanship aud in
sane prejudice have been the bano of
the Southern "Conservative" mind,
and seems destined to continue to be
so for a generation to come. A peo
ple who can be wise only when too
late, will remain practical fools thro'
life. What is said of the rebel ha
tred of President Lincoln applies
with equal propriety to the hatred
manifested toward him by the Demo
cratic party of the North, many of
whom vied with their Southern allies
in defaming him while he lived, only
to profess to revere his memory when
he died. Their present professions of
respect, however, are a confession of
stupidity and injustice which shonld
cover tnem wun snume ana cause
them to be more circumspect In as
saults upon the objects of their polit
ical antipathies hereafter. With few
exceptions, however, it is too much
to expect that they will learn wisdom
even by experience. Illinois Journal.

Tho St. Louis Democrat describes
a "sheet aud pillow-case party"
as
Whcro He had tUc Advantage.
The Piscataqua Observer is respon
sible for the following :
A gentleman called at a hut In the
Aroostook Valley, and requested somo
dinner. Tho lady (her spouse being
absent) refused to supply his necessi
ties for money or love of humanity.
"Very well," said the hungry trav
eler, as he tumeo? his footsteps from
the inhospitable abode, "you will
want noth'iug to eat to-morrow."
"Why not?1' inquired the woman.
"Because the Indians arer digging a
tuunel at Moosehead Lake, and they
are going to turn all the waters of the
Lake into the Aroostook Valley, and
you and the rest of the people are to
be drowned."
Upon this intelligence the old lady
hurried to the priest to inform him
that a flood was to overflow the val
ley, and to ask what was to be done
in the sad emergency.
Tho priest endeavored to quiet her
fears by telling her that God had

How They Love Fish. A young
gentleman in this city, in whom we
have the most perfect confidence,
gives us the following conversation,
which he heard between two colored
citizens the other evening as he was
returnlug from prayer-meeting :
"Sam, does you know Jonah?"
"Jonah, what Jonah ?"
"Why, Johnah what swallowed do
whale, don't you know him ?"
"Why, dam his big-moufed soul,
was he from Firginny ?"
"Ob oourse he was from Firginny.1'
"Well, dfe Firglnians alwavs was
hell for fish."
An experienced housekeeper says
that the best thing for cleaning tin
ware is common boda. She gives the
following directions: "Dampen a
cloth, and dip In soda, and rub the
ware briskly, after which, wipe dry.
Any blackened ware can be made to
look as good as new."
Kow the lachrymal glands of the

Just at tho close of tho war of 1S12,
a United States man-of-war entered
Boston harbor. The commodore was
known as a bully, of the first water.
Entering a barber shop in Boston,
and finding no one but the boy pres
ent, he demanded, In an Insolent,
overbearing way, "Where is your
master?"
"Not down yet, sir."
"Well, I want to be shaved.""
"Yes, sir, I can shave you."
"You?"
"Yes sir."
"Well, you may try it, but look
here, youngster, (laying bis loaded
pistol on tho table,) the first drop of
blood you draw on my face, I'll shoot
you."
"All right, sir," was the boy's reply.
tuo boy shaved him, and did it
well. After the operation was thro',
the bully turned to him as he took
up his pistol and remarked :
"Wasn't you afraid?"
"No, sir," replied the boy.
"Didn't you believe I would shoot?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then why wasn't you afraid ?" -The
boy very coolly replied, "Be
cause I had the advantage.''
"Advantage! How?'' demanded
tho irate bully.
"Why ,'y said the boy, with the ut
most nonchalance, "if I had drawn
oiooa, snould have taken the razor
and cut your throat from ear to ear."
The bully turned pale, but never
forgot the lesson.
follows :
"Those who were fortunate enough
to attend the grand sheet and pillow
case party at the Armory Hull last
evening were well repaid for their
trouble. It was a singular sight to see
the hall filled with ghostly figures,
all dancing as lively as could be. The
funny part of tho thiug was that tho
disguises were so perfect that gentle
men oftentimes at the end of a set
found that they had been dancing
with each other. About 11 o'clock
the disguises were removed amidst
great merriment and nd little aston
ishment, as tho parties recognized
each other. Altogether, it Was one
of the jolliest parties of the season."
We suggest that the lovers of fun
in Brownville get up suoh a party.

"Well, doctor," said a chap just
from the dentist's chair, "how much
do you ax for the job? Guy! butyou
did it quick, though."
"My terms," replied the dentist
"are one dollar."
"A dollar for a minifc's work ! ono
dollar thunder! Why a doctor
down four place drawed a tooth for
me two years ago, and it took him
two hours. Ho dragged me all
around the room, and lost his grip
half a dozen times. I never seed such
hard work. And he only charged me
twenty-five cents. A dollar for a
minit's work! You must bo jokin?"
The wisdom of tho Alabama netrro
who made the followinir answer to
the querry as to why the Southern
people were constantly growing poor
er, is worthy of consideration :
"Afore do war de white gentlemen
tended to de politics, and do colored
people worked, consequence was, dat
crops was good and money was plenty.
Now-a-days de white gentlemen and
de colored am both gone crazy on pol
itics, don't do no work, and conse
quence is ain't neither of
'uough to buy born bread."
