Only live of the olovuii conn tins \\oro represented in tl < o deliberations of the committee , and cvur.ytliing was left so that Otnuhti and Donglus county could tlo as they plciiscd. As one of the commit- tccmoii roniarkcd , they wore pertcrlly willing to let Omaha select the 111:111 : , and for that reason presumably they took a basis upon which to apportion dulcgntos that let thut tionuty have all Hit ) power it could ask or expect. The place of hold inir the convention I'ulls City beinc the point selected is the only dumarkation from leaving the eiiliro business of so- leftlng n. congressional candidate in the hands of the Omaha war horses , and tliu idea of forty-two of them going to the /ioutheast corner of the district to ex press themselves will not , it is stated , moot with unqnaliliod approval. AVlicn the HKI : representative questioned com- iiutUioincn from the southern part of thn district concerning Judge Hroady ns ! . _ presumable democratic candidate , the invariable answer was that while Uroady was a strongman ho didn't want to bo a candidate , and they were Roiii- ; ; to leave it with Omaha as imii'h as pos-i- lilo nnywny. i'hureforo if .liulgo Ilruady lias aspirations ot a congressional nature ho might an well abandon tlioni or else put thu brakes to tlic Omaha talk , or ho will lie entirely forgotten. One of the cominUtconicn was outspoken for Me- Shane , and he lived as far away from IcShano's local habitation as lie well could and live in the district. " \ \ o can boat Church llowo" boomed to be a gen eral expression among them that was freely made , but the expression was coupled with a doubt as to whether Church would bo the republican wiifhci or not. Ono of the roprt'senlatives gave it with a voice of authority that but two days Hinco Congressman U'oavcr had re turned home , that ho was hearty and Jlnshy , and was just beginning to look Ilka : i coiiirn..ssiniin. "And is Weaver looked upon as a can- didatoV" inquired the BKI : man. 'Undoubtedly ' , " was the reply , in a tone ot voice that signified that the ques tion was beyond argument. If any s-umniary of democratic senti ment could bo compiled , it would tend to fihow that the party of that name was Holicitous over a probable republican dark horso. VIMTOIS3 AT TUB STATI" HOt'Sl * . Among the visitors at the state hou o yesterday was a delegation of York county pilgrims , including Dr. Knap ] ) , Couuty.hiugo T. K.

Dr. Knapp is , tip to date , the laht candidate for gover nor , and the York county visiting statesmen state that the doctor will for n Biircty have his own county in the convention and all the accompanying promises that adjoining counties can shower upon the aspirant. The docloi was yesterday calling upon old acquaint ances in Lincoln made in former times , when bo sat in the legislature from York county , and if the predictions of his po litical friends count for aught the med ical gentleman will conduct his cam paign in alopathic lino-j. Principal Hewers of the Pawnee City schools , ivho is a candidate before tlio people for the otlicc of state superintend ent of public instruction , was at the state house yesterday loosing over the claim and interviewing state ollicials anil ac qtmintancos.

Tlio board of educational lands and buildings in session yesterday formally appointed Dr. Armstrong , formerly con nected with the Glonwoou asylum , to the position of superintendent of the now asylum for the feeble-minded , in course of construction at Itcatrice. The doctor comes to the work highly recommended , and ho will have charge of one of the finest buildings and most important works in the state.

A QltKAT UOOUMKNT. The trial of thn Johnson-Hitchcock adultery case brought to. light a. queer document , which , emanating from a jus- tiou of tlio peace , is both ridiculous and funny , and legal men , who understand how utterly void it is in force and effect , will road it with pleasure and put their . own construction upon it and infer whatever - ' ever they uleasa as a reason for the crea tion of such a document. When in police court Mary A. Johnson and Honiamlu . Hitchcock worn arraigned on the charge of adultery , they promptly pleaded "not . guilty. " ami Mr. . Johnson approaching , his honor produced the following docu ment as a reason why she should not bo molested , and especially why her husband could not prefer charges against her. "Do yon wish to introduce this in evidence ? " said the judge as ho road and smiled , and Mrs. Johnson said nlin did. The following is the document taken from the files in the ease : State of Nebraska , Lancaster County : Perry Johnson bdng lir.-t duly bworu , upon his oath says that ho makes no t claim whatever upon his wife , Mary A. Johnson , and ho further states upon oath that ho will leave the city of Lincoln and pay no further attention to the said Mary A. Johnson , nor will in any manner interfere torfere with tier in the future or seek to prevent her from obtaining a divorce if she chooses so to Uo , and from this day will pass her on the fitreots as a stranger. Alliant further says ho will in no manner seek to interfere with any friend she may have in the future. [ Signed ] Pjiitur Jonssox.

A DAY IN rOLICK OlHMT. Yesterday in'polioo court saw another busy day ami alon : < r row of otlondurs up before the presiding magistrate. Miles McDonald , John WeUh and W. H.

John Godfrey , with a load of mental anguish , answrrcd the roll call on the charge of being a plain drunk , and as ho stood before the court he stated that it was the first otlense in eleven years. Ho was > omewhat astonished when ho fotii.d this record of total abstinence did not parry the blow that fell upon him in the of ? 1 and costs. John Morris'ey , Kichard I'lts-patrick , Hi-rt Haglev , Thomas tiorham , Tom ItrcnnanMartin Moon , who had been wounded in the head years ago and couldn't slanil liquor , and Mike Haley , completed tin * list of drunken offenders , and each Wiis lini'd and yiven a chance to pay out or go back to jail.

Wht'ii ho was brought back the offense was so small that the young tnan was given his liberty until the day of trial , and ho colc- bratetL it by immediately skipping out again. Deputy .Shi-riff lit-ach then wont out to Newton , captured him and turned him over to Jail. The trial of Murray , the barber , for stealing tnirty-sevon dollars from his roommate , was heard by Judge Parsons yesterday , and the man was bound over to answer to the charge of grand larceny at the district court.

How Ho Worked n Proo Pnss From a Knilroril Olllcinl. Arkansaw Traveller : The editor of the Swamyvillo Cypress Knco called on the superintendent of a railroad. "I have ooino , " says he , "to asu : a favor of you. I do considerable traveling over your road , and have always paid my faro , and now I want you to give mo a pass. " "You say that you have done consider able traveling ? " "Yes , sir. " "And you have always paid your faro ? " "I havo. " " dear sir " said the "My , superintend ent , "wo cannot give you a pass. " "Why ? " "Because you are too valuable to lose. You are the only man along our line who hasn't a pass , and upon you we mainly depend for our revenue. If you were never to ride , I might give you a pass , but as it is 1 must refuse you. " " editor ' reflection "Tho after a moment's tion , replied : "To toll you the truth , I have never been over your road but once. When I spoke I was thinking of another road. " "Did 3-011 pay your faro ? " "Since 1 have come to think about it , I don't think I did. " "Well , now , you can't expect us to give you a pass when you have never done anything for us ! " "All right , sir. keen your pass ; but if the next issue of the Cypress Knee doji't warm you tip I'll bo wilting to go wilh- otitoating for a week. " "What's your circulation ' ! " "Fifteen hundred. " "I mean your sworn circulation. " "Well , about a thousand. 1 send at least one copy to every postollico in the stato. " "Got a local circulation , too ? " "Snlcndid.-1 "Will you swear that you send ono to each postolllce in the state ? " "Yes. " The superintendent , after turning to a postal guido , said : "There are 1,121 postofiices in the state , and as you have only a circulation of 1,000. you certainly haven't above half a copy for your town. " "That's all right , partner. Going to give mo that pass ? " "Not immediately. " "Then I'll warm you up. " "William , " called the superintendent , "go down and send an olliccr up hore. I want to have tins man arrested for per jury. " "Givo mo a pass down homo aud I'll call it square. " "William " "All right , we-11 lot it drop. I was in town and thought I'd como around aiul tee you. The people down my way say you are the best superintendent the road ever nad , and I wanted to see you. The road is in bolter condition now than it over was before , and the other day when there was some talk of your removal , the people along the line " "Sit down , " said the superintendent. "People along the line , " continued the editor , seating himself , "said there could bo no truth in the rumor. They held a meeting iu our town and got up a petition mir the ownenrof the road " You seem to bo warm , " said tho.su > pnrintondont. "William , hand the gen tleman a fan. " "Asking the owners of the road to re tain you , continuml the editor , as he ac cepted the fan. "TJioy also drew up a memorial which they requested mo to publish. It was unfortunately crowded . out of last issue.I knew it was not of much importance to you , as you are in demand and can of course secure another position at a much bettor salary. Well , 1 must bo going , as I've got considerable knocking around .to do , " "Lot mo sco , " said the railroad man. "What Is your name ! " "Andrew J. Booklcton.1 "Thanks. Wait a moment , Mr. Bccklo- ton. I always like to moot a man who can understand a joke. Mr , Bockloton , " added tbn supcriutondont as ho began to write on a card.

[ Corrosion- ilcnco of the BinKvory : ] day brings tlic track-layers two or more miles nearer Douglas , and more now men arrive herewith with a view of locating. 'J'lio erection of new tents and buildings and "shacks" as they are oallcd , are also of dally occur rence , Simply in the line of novelty or curiosity this Is worth going hundreds of miles to see. Pcoulu are nearly all strangers to each other , and "cverylhing goes , " as the saying is. Everything is on the free and easy onlcr , and every body does just about as ho or slio pleases , so long as life and property arc not in terfered with. The courtezan plies her vocation just as opcnlv and unmo- lestedly as the dry goods merchant and she is hero numerously. Hut persons who behave themselves properly are just as safe and seeuro hero as in any town in the United States , and much more so than in the streets of Chi cago. No ono is solicited or influenced to do wrong , or , in tact , to do anything , but , in whatever direction they are in clined , cither good , bad or indifferent , there is a glorious opportunity. They can find a congenial locality and strike their level , whether it be in the sanctuary or thu cesspools of perdition. This conies as near being u "lino country" as any place 1 ever saw , for , in the language of the showman , "yon paj's your money and takes your choieo. " But lot it not bo inferred that wo have neither law nor order hero , for such is not the case , for while our present popu lation is somewhat cosmopolitan in char acter and possesses every moral and im moral grade of the human species , the strong arm of the law is used as effectu ally and promptly for the protection of life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness as in any place I ever saw. Of course crimes will bo committed , but our alert ollicials are actives in bringing the criminals to summary justice. Some four weeks ago A MAN WAS I1OIIBE1) in a tent hero. Wo had no olliccrs , and Dogulas is over a hundred miles north of Laramiu , the county seat of Albany county , but the shorill' was sent for and camo. The robber was arrested ami now lies in the Laramie jail awaiting the ac tion ot the grand jury. The slierill' also appointed an cllicient deputy , and also caused the appointment of a constable , night watchman and a justice of the peace. lie also notified the proprietors of saloons , gambling and dance houses that ho woulu revoke the license of the first and cvory ono who permitted a row to take place in his establishment , and gave his officers orders to enforce the law of the territory and arrest and have lined any and all persons carrying revolvers or shooting in the streets. The olj'ect was magical and wonderful , 'and since that scarcely a shot has been heard. Of course a cowboy without a revolver or two strapped to him would bo the exception and not the rule , but when ho rides into Douglas ho lays his weapons quietly away until ho sets ready to leave , and I desire to say for that noted and much misrepresented class , that as a general thing they are perfect gentlemen and conduct thcmsolve as such , and espe cially so when in good and respectable society. I.UT NOT ANY ONE DEI'En COMING hero through fear of finding a place of violence and lawlessness and anarchy , for they will be just as safe hero as in Omaha or Council Bluffs or any town or city in Nebraska or Iowa , provided , of course , that they conduct themselves properly. Further than this , the btisi- n ess men as a class , who have alreadv come hero and who will locate on the now townsito , are of an eminently re spectable and substantial character , an . who are determined that law and orde" and a high state of civilization shall rtilr in Done ) as from its very inception. The ° contracts for the erection of four corru gated iron buildings and several bricks have already been awarded , the work to bo commenced when the amount of the lots can bo scoured , and the town will lx built up from the start with a class of costly and substantial buildings , owned by men who will take a pride in the good name of the town. Everything is booming hero , but as yet can give the HER readers no definite in formation relative to the sale of lots , but 1 still think it will not occur before some time in boptombor. The track laying will probably reach Shawnee crook by Saturday night , and Douglas by the 20th , as previously stated. A largo force la at work grading for side-tracks and depot grounds , and gottinc roadv for the ad vent of the iron horse and influx of people and merchandise that will speedily follow. TWO Oil THUEE NIGHTS AGO Homo blankets wore stolen in the rear ol u house , and in a few hours the three culprits wore in custody. 'They wore tried and conyiuted , and ono secured a term of forty-five days' service in jail , and the others eighteen ( lays each , The action of our ollicials meets the hearty approbation of our people generally , anil deserve great credit for their uniform cflicioncy. While , in this connection , it is only justicn to state that Sheriff W. A Jamison , of Laramie , by the prompt action and interest ho has taken In Doug las , has made himself deservedly popular hero. Frequent showers servo to keep the stockmen and all our pcohlc happy. TIIK TOWNSITI : . This evening I interviewed Mr. N. K Stuckor , dlvihion engineer , who has charge of the preparation and construe lion of the depot grounds on the now townsito , und from that courteous oflicia gained much information that will bo o interest to the public. The company is making much moro extensive improvements tnan 1 suppose it would do at present , and its actioi shows that the intention is to not only make this thu end of a division , but : very prominent railroad station. As have bnforo stated , the location is all tha could ho desired. The grounds are now being graded and prepared for side tracks , depot and other building * . No lots have been or will bo.platted bctweei the railroad and the North 1'latto river although the distance is fully a quarto of a mile , aud on beautiful land the company reserving it all , several linn dred acres , for its own use for building machine shops and other purposes. A this point the road runs a little west o north and the town plot lies entirely 01 the east side between it and the high hill on the west. Thu town is laid square with the compass. Extending from to west about in the centre of the plot i Center street , 100 feet wide , intended to be- the principal business street In the city running in that direction , and at the foot of this struct , whore the railroai crado is only a foot high , will bo located the passenger depot. The main track und all the side trunks except one will b on the west side of the depot ; opposite from the town. The second street from the depot , named Second street , is also 100 feet wide and is intended to bo tli principal .street running north and south All other streets are 80 feet wide , Uusi loss lota are 23x100 , and residence lots 0x140. i mtrOTS AND TIIACKS. The grade beint : " made for side track ml depot purposes is 8,000 feet long ind 148 feet wiiio. The tracks will con- 1st of the main track loading to the en- trine house. The total length of the even side traces Is tx little over four The passenger rtbpol Is to bo 22sSO , pre sumably two slury. On the west sulo. opposite from the town , will be the main Trout , and between the buildi.ig nml the nain track will be a platform sixteen 'cot wide and iJOO foot long , of course i-\- ending past it'Jn. ' either direction. As joforo staled , only a side track runs be tween the depot aild town. A freight depot 33x113 will bo located some distance away from the passenger lepot. Among the other buildings will bo nn elevated coal house 2'xl7-l feot.aud in ice house 32x18 , both however under ono roof , making a building 22 feet wide ind 222 feet long. An engine house with seven stalls will jc erected now and tracks laid but the nnlding will to so arranged that it can je added to and complete the circle at uiy time. There will of course bo largo water auks , also storehouses , sheds , olllccs , etc While I think of it , I will say that the water supply is abundant. In addition .o a river liOO feet wide , tests have proven ihat splendid water can be obtained any where in the townsite at a depth of from twenty-four to thirty feet. The altitude at this point is1,827 feet above the level of the sea. and pure mountain air is one of the blessings the people of Douglas will always enjoy. Consumption ( except of beefsteak and other hearty food ) is almost unknown and never originates hero. TWO MII.I'S rr TIM : IUYKK the railroad will cross the North Plutte , ami an iron bridge 1.-180 feet long will bo built , resting on piling. Mr. C. I' . Treat , of Chicago , who constructed the grade between Chadron and Douglas , lias been awarded the contract for grad ing 05 miles west of hero , or to what is known as the Grove Egg ranch , and the work is now well under head way and much of it will bo completed before the snow Hies. It is authoritatively stated , however , that no iron will bo laid west of Douglas this year. During the winter this will bo the terminus of the road anil the liveliest town in America. The com pany will ship all its material here to be used next season ; all the government supplies for the posts in the northwest will bo unloaded hero , which , with the merchandise and freight necessary to supply the surrounding country and a city that will certainly contain from 3,030 to O.OCO inhabitants by the first day of January next , will give the reader some- tiling o'f an idea of the amount of busi ness that will bo transacted at Douglas durinp the coming year. Next year the company will push its road westward as rapidlv as possible toward the Pacific coast"and two years hence the North- western's Well's street depot in Chicago will have a train placarded : "This train for Omaha , Douglas and San Francisco without change'of c'ars. " TUB r.uADixo' ' IAST : OP HEUI : will bo cntirelytconlploted by next Satur day night , and 'jthoi ' depot grounds and side-track grade finished in two weeks. There is but one , bridge of importance to build , Hint over Shawnee creek , and as soon as the bridge men arrive herowhich will bo in a couple Of weeks or less , they will commence work on tlio wagon bridge across the * North Platto.Mr. . Dcspanois , the bridge constriictor.haviiig been awarded the contract for building the same. Douglas , temporary as it is at present , is oVrtistlor , " but in two or three weeks it wilLbo a "hummer" when the lots are sold , trains are run on reg ular time , niillions.ttf pounds of freight and lumber are tyiing shipped in from the east , and tons of thousands of fat cat tle are being driven in from the north , west and south , and shipped to Chicago. If the people of the east want to know and understand the full meaning and im port of the word "boom. " as applied to a western town , thoyshould visit this place during the next ninety days. E. H. K , Anecdotes About Kenwnrcl Plillp. Kenward Philp , the noted joker and bohemian of Now York and Brooklyn , was very fond of practical jokes. Ho would stand on a street corner nt 0 o'clock , when the horse-cars were loaded to the guards , and suddenly call and beckon wildly to some man hanging on "by tlio skin of his teeth" on the rear platform. His earnest and excited man ner would attract the attention of all , and the man signaled out would anx iously lenve his hard-earned place on the car and rush over to discover what tlio wild-eyed man wanted. When ho arrived nt the curb , Philp almost crying with im patience and irritation , would push him aside and yell : "Not you , you blockhead - head ) Not you ! That other man thorel Now , you idiot , you've made me lose him after nil ! " and hs would turn away , leav ing his victim to walk homo or wait an hour for another foothold on the cars. Phil ) ) once secured the Brooklyn theater tor for a lecture. Manager McConnell gave it to him , and the house was sold out almost entirely to newspaper men and actors. The audience came thcro for a good time and was determined to lose no opportunity to "guy" anything it could. A glass pitcher of water was brought on for the lecturer , and McCon nell started the story that it contained no water , but gin. Consequently when Philp filled out a lull tumbler and tossed it ofl , the audience rose as one man and yelled , and when ho followed this up by drink ing four moro glasses the people began falling out of the boxes. Philp hadn'ttho least idea of wiiat ho was to say. Ho hadn't oven chosen a subject , much less written a word upon it , but ho began : "Ladles and gentleman : When 1 made my arrangements for the theatre with the af fable young manager affable was the word we agreed upon this inorinntr , was it not , Mr. McConneliy" and he looked towards the box In which that person sat , but in the roar that followed this sally the malinger was senn hurrying down the aisle to tlio front of the house. "Ah , " resumed tiio Incorrigible Plillii , "ho has gorio to the box olllce. 1 think 1 will step nrdnwl niter him and se cure my share.

Wo scorned such game as that and trudged on , cheered by the hope that seemed to spring eternal in tlio breast of James Trilobite Eton of Concord. Four days wo wallowed through the unchanging desolation. 1'our nights wo went throuph the motions of slumbering on the arid bosqui of tuo wasted earth. On the fifth day James Trilobilc Eton said we were now getting near the point where we would find what wo sought. On wo pressed through the keen , rough blades of the seldom bunch-grass , over the shifting , yellow sand and the green ish gray of the bad land soil which never does anything but sit around through the accumulated centuries and hold the world together , a kind of powdery poison that delights to creep into tlio nostrils of the pilgrim and steal away his brains , or when moistened by a little snow to ac cumulate around the fo t of the pilgrim or on the feet of tno pilgrim's mule till he has most of an unsurvoyed "forty" on each foot , and the casual ob > crvor is cheered by tlio novel sight of one home stead striving to jump another. Toward evening James Trilobite Eton gave a wild shriek of joy and ran to us from the bed of an old creek , where ho had found an ichthyosaurus. The ani mal was dead. Not only that , but it had been dead a long , long time ! James Milton Sherrod said that "if a college education was of no more use tea a man than that ho , for ono , allowed that his boy woulit have to grope through life with an academical pducation , and very little of it. " I uncocked my gun and went back to camp a sadder'anil madder man , and though years have conic and gone I am still irritable when I think of the live days wo tramped along Bitter creek searching for an animal that was no longer olive , and our guide know it be fore we started. I ventured to say to J. Trilobilc Eton that night as wo all sat together in the gloaming discussing whether ho should bo taken home with us in the capacity of a guide or as a remains , that it seemed to me a man ought to have bettor sense than to wear his young life away trying to liayo fun with Ins superiors in that way "Why , blameit all , " says James , "what did you expect ? You ought to know j'oursclf that the animal is extinct ! " "Extinck ! " says James Milton Shcrrod , in shrill , angry tones. " 1 should say ho was extinck. That's what we're kickin' about. What galled mo was that you should of waited till the old cuss was ox- tinck before you came to us like a man und told us about it. You pull us through the sand for a week and blister our liculs and condemb near kill us , and all the time you know that the blame brute is ' layin'1 there in the hot sun gettin' moro aiitl moro extinck every ininuto. Fun is fun , and I like a little nonsense now and then , just as well as you do , but I'll bo eternally banished to Bitter creek if I think it's square or white to play it on your friends this kind of a way. "You claim that the animal has been dead goin' on 0,000 years , or some such thing as that , and try to got out of it that way , but long as you Know it and wo didn't it shows that you're u low cuss not to speak of it. "What diftoroncQ does it make to us , I say , whether this brute was or was not dead and swelled up like a pizon'd steer long before Nero got /.o-ologicklo show together ? Wo didult know it. Wo haven't seen the Salt Liiko papers for weeks. You use your cdication to fool people with My opinion Is that the day is not far distant when you will wake up and find yourself in the bottom of an untimely grave. "You urine us 150 miles to look at an old bouo pile , all tramped into tlio ground , and then say that the animal is extinck. That's a great way to talk to an old man like mo , a man old chough to bo your grandfather. Prob'ly you calklato that it in a rare treat for an old- timer like mo to waller through from Green river to the Yallcrstono , und then hoar a young kangaroo , with a moth- eaten eyebrow under his nose , burst forth into a rolicking laugh and say that the annual we've been trailin' for five days is oxtinck. " 1 just want to say to you , James Trilobite - lobito Eton , and I say it for your good , and I say it with no prejudice against you , for 1 want to BCO you succeed , that if this ever happens agin , and you are the party to blame , yon will wake up with a wild start tin the follcrln' day and find youi'self a good deal extincker than tins hero old busted lizard U.

To work-a-dny folks , who toil and sweat year in and year out ir.nl barely mane both ends meet , ovi-u on salaries above the average , it is always oinctliinii of a mystery , says the New York Mail and K\press , how so man } young men , on salaries of $12 a week , or from that to $18 at the outside , manage at all time's to keep dressed in the height ol fashion and find leisure to air themselves and their clntlios in conspicuiouMy public places. There is a good-sr/.od world of Iheso buttr-rlly jounc men In Now York. It takes In over half the young men in the city. They are bill clerks or mi'sson- gers or under bookkeepers in the big mercanlilo houses "ladles' " , or men" in the dry-goods houses , or young men who do anything that passes for work without involving actual manual labor. They are always rigged out in the latest cut of clothes , llioy never seem in a hurry. They loiter through the avenues ami the parku , which are their favorite resorts on Saturday afternoons and Sundays , and hover about the theater doors at night , like gnats around the electric lights. To all appearances they tire 3011111 ! mon of elegant leisure nml unlimited resources How do they manage it on $12 a week * "I will show you ; como up-stalrs a moment , " said a renter of rooms on Eighth avenue near Forty eighth street , the other dny. She is a matronlv person , and has ajUozon or moru 3'oung mon for roomers in her Hats. Shu led the way to thoifourth story. At the head of the stairs she opened the door to a hall-room. The room was small but clean. Its furniture - nituro consisted of a bed , a plain wash stand , and two chairs. A row of hooks on the wall opposite the bed did service instead of a clothes-press , and the wash Bland drawer supplied the absence of a bureau , In the corner ot tint room behind - hind the door was a piain pine boliiie an ordinary soap box. On it , stood a small oil stoyo. "The young man who rents this now , " said the old landlady , "is a clerk in one of the most fashionable retail dry goods houses on Fifth avonuo. In personal ainiearanco 3011 couldn't tell him from a millionaire , but ho only gets $ ll.r > 0 a weekHo pays me $3 a week for this room. Onto ! the other $8.50 lie boards himself , pays for his washing , buys his clothes and he always wears the latest styles in fact , his entire living expenses conic out of the $8.50. What is his se cret ? It is contained in this pine box. " She removed the oil stove and lifted the box lid. Inside were a small frying- pan , a minaturo cofl'oo pot , cup and sau cer , two spoons , a knife and fork and several paper packages. "Hero , you see , " continued the land lady , "is a little housekeeping outlit. With it and tlio oil-stove the young dry- goods clerk practically boards liimscl ! that is , ho gets his own breakfast and supper every day , and no one is tlio wiser. Those packages in the box con tain what lie oats. In the morning he makes a cup of cofl'eo for himself , which is tin easy matter with the oil stove , llu ulso cooks a little rice , an egg. a piece of bacon , or , sometimes , a small piece of steak. Either makes a palatable and sus taining meal. That is before he goes to work. In the evening \yhcn ho returns from the store ho cooks his supper in the same way. Ho does his little marketing himself , too , and he has become so good nt it tiiat he can do fully as well as I can nt the stores. Ho will buy a piece of bacon , enough for three meals for 0 cents ; rice for siv meals , 10 cents ; a can of condensed milk , which will last not less than ten days , for 11 cents ; eggs two cents each ; a half- pound of cheese , which will last a week , 12 } cents : cofl'eo enough for ton days , half a pound , for 12J cents ; sugar for a week , 10 cents ; potatoes , nine or Ion big ones , Miat will snflico for not less than four uieals , for a nicklo. If you will liguro the cost of ono meal out of this list you Avill find that , with variety only limited by the articles on hand , the ex pense will not exceed 10cents that is , 20 cents a day for the two meals , to which add 10 cents that he spends down town for lunch , aud you have 80 cunts a day , or 82.10 a week , as the cost of his board. Ills washing costs him not over 25 cents a week , as ho is neat and carefuljeo thai his actual living expenses , including the ? 3 room rent , are ? fl.85 n week , or , allow ing the odd 15 emits for oil to burn in the little stove ( two cents' worth will last nine hours in it ) , his total expenditure is $5.00 a wcck.which leaves ? ( ! of his salary to be spent on clothes , or whatever he chooses. That , sir , is the way hundreds , I might oven say thousands and thou sands , of young mon. in New York live and manage to keep up appearances.

New Way to Tnko Care or a Babe oil tlio Curs. Chicago Herald : "Saw a rather odd thing on a drawing-room car out in Iowa the oilier day , " haid a commercial tray- oler ; "there was a young mother aboard and she only had three children to look a ter. The two older ones were lively little rats , who kept skipping all over the car , gutting into all sorts of mischief and leading the poor mother a lively race. The puzzle with her was what to do with the youngest , a well-behaved , fat babe of six months. Of course , the child was lee small to sit up by itself , and just large enough to squirm around and fall to the lloor if laid down. The mother couldn't very well run after her older rogues and curry the babe with her. and she was In a great quandary as to how to nmnago her troublesome brood. Finally a huppy thought struck her. Shu took two largo safety pins , pinned the infant by its short clothes to thu upholstering of the rscat , and thus had her hands free for her other progeny. The babe looked quito comic sitting up there all by itself , und occa sionally straining at tno pins In its fool ish doBiro to fail 'Unyn. But It seemed to enjoy its novel position , and sat Hint way playing and coojng an hour at a time. It was a simple tiling , but it pleased us boys immoiiKuly.
