T1IE CKwSS OF FIBE.

A CHRISTMAS STOBY.

There is an old poem, Bright Broadway," which has the rytbm of a song, Alice Randolph sang it to an improvised melody, as her carriage rolled down the gay reet, forgettiog 'he last verse, wnere, is the gloom of midnight, amid gnow and el^et, an outcast died on Blight Broadway. Jut then the street was fille wiih snnt-hine and fragrance from the pioy woods"—the breath of Christmas, A ice said, recalling the little coiir. try clurch, where. amid Chrism as greens, she stood a ar before in bridal attire, looking oat upon the holiday of life undisraxyed by the lism»l prophecies of her k,uar. ian, quaint Aunt Sophy, whose experience had induced a poor opii ion of men.

The old life and the new were atill in vivid contrast that evening, when in her lovely Brooklyn home Alice expressed her etnhuninHtic sratitude to the man whose 1 ve had wrought the tr.insfoi[nation. "I wonder, Arthur, how, I ever endured my colorless existence in the prosy town of Brantford. Oae lives more in a single day here than in a year where, as Auerbach savs, "nothing ever happens Diy after day the same people are in the same places at a given hour—a-won-derful contrast, to Broadway with its ever varying combination, Then there is the bro»id river flowing past the two great cities, bearing ships from every sea. I sit at the wiudow watching them as they come and go, some of them from arcic regions, some from tropic lands and then there are always (hips failing away iuto the unknown sea, ships that reach no earthly port So over si broods the perpetual charm of mystery."

Tne charm of mystery enveloped Alice's life After a year of mama** her husband's occupation was Still unknown to her She had felt a curious delicacy about asking queHtions, and he had volunteered no iuliirmation. Aunt Sophy h'd instituted no investigation, bf-caiiseshe considered New YorketS "all of a pi-ex anyw iv," so inquiries were supeifluous. 'Her permission to the marriage was granted in characteristic fas^i 'n. "YfS, you can have her, as you both 8eetn determined, and I don't know as you'll make her any miserabler than some other man wooll."

Since Alice's marriage she had often urged Auni Sophy to visit her, and this had been the buiden of the answers: "I ne^er see no goou come of trapfin' round the world. I hain't never been but. tW'H'.y mis from home in all my life, and cao'i eee but I'm as well off although I'd beeu toChiny and Australy."

The appro-ich of the Christinas holiday s, aod the prospect of sharing iu 'he glorious festival as celehrved in N«w York churches, beguiled Aunt. Sjoby into undertaking the dreaded jouraey, though she pmdeutly made her will tie fore

Fortunately Aunt Sophy did not share Alice's discovery, and eo she brought to her service that sublime power of hom^n self-oontrol that hides so many agonizing secret, and she asked quite calmly of the attendant policeman the ofleuse of ihe prisoners on that tier, and learne 1 ihat "ihey were all pulled in a g.tuil 1 n' hell last nijsbt."

Gambling I This was the mysterious occupation that she had idealn-d ae souie work of art or iiterature. Strangely enough Aunt S.»phy, who had al*ay had her suspicions, was the deus ex machica of the beirayal. Somehow Alice endured the drive home, presided at. luncheon, and then excused herself to her guesi.

Alone at last, face to face with the horror which hid suddenly darkened her life, she reg rded with bitter 1 ath ing her luxious surroundings. They were the wa*es of sin 1 The perfume of rr- fi overs fl -ated around her the December sun-hine flooded the room the birds-.au. bath-ly, careless that theii mi-tiess' h. art was breaking.

She must yield to the impulse to fly from the hoose.' Without she c*uid think more calmly bat she conld not go witbont a farewell. Every room had its history, every picture and ornament its story.

herself with the multitude, thronging bright Broadway—but I ow the thorough fare was changed! She bad not noticed the shadows in the picture, the gaunt figures shivering in the winter's blast like spectres from an ther world, gsxing loigiof'j at the beantiful things in which tber had no share. Christmas w#s not for them. It only d' fined more sharply the great gulf fixed between the rich and the poor.

Night was falling. The time was com ing to make her way to the dark river. The mmey took her thr. ugh unfamiliar streets a revelation to her guarded and innocent life. Revolting sigh's, exponents of crime and destitution were piaii 1 revealed even in the dim light On either hand were the ho-oes ol drunkards, thieves and murderess Homes Whose ~hristmas guee:s are only want and ear*.

The wretched denizens resented th sight of respectability, and greeted Al-ce with insuliiug epiiheis but she winl untouched by fear or indignation. Wh» was tnis to oue who had alredy passed ihe hittern»8s of death? This path through purgatory was ouly a part of the horn tnat had suddenly surrounded her.

Alice paused to gain '»urage, recalling a French proverb: "When one dies it is for a long time." But she could not live. In a few hours she bad measured her own capacity for sufleritig as eflcstually as by years of agony. Gazing at the pitiless stars, she murmured: "You will still be shining when I have been dead a th"Usand years."

She paused, but without faltering in herd ad!y p'ui pose, and gazed at the sky Far above the hor xon gleamed a luminous point, larger than any star, whiciinstantly flashed out—a cross of fire, vivid and glorious as that which dszzleo the Emperor Constat tine, and glowa for ever in ths page of history.

As she gaftd at this vision, Buprr naturally imptessed, the frenzy which had goaded ber to destruction was dispelled—the iatenfe selfihne«s of her intention clearly revealed. Her life, iustea! of being recklesjiy flung away, must be devoted to her husband's re demption. "What nobler work," she asked, "than that could be given to any woman?" as the natural humaa love assorted itse f.

Upborne by this in piration, 6he hsst ened toward home, now and a rain catch .ing a glimpse of the wonderful cri ss, still glowing againstthe dark background of trie sky, and she wondered if the vision had been vouchsafed to others on thiCbrist nas Eve to Bive them from despair aad desta.

A largor ou 1 ok of life had suddenly dawned. For a night she had been homeless a friendless. Cuuld she »ver for get those who are always so desolate?

GREEK PLAY-

THE

IU Huino PwiIjO an4 Lost Uncultured Oothamlt*/. Mash villa American.

To tt Critic we ar® indebted for some interesting information concerning the recent reproduction of a Greek play in the academy of mu»ic. The actors were amateur*, aud were boys at that. Martover, being strangers to the city, they lacked tne*personal interest and sympa thy on which amateur theitncals largely depend for countenance. Then the play itself, ui.litie "Tne Birds," "The cuds, or "Tne Fr^es," was of some what obsenre fame. The college element in New York, as in Nashville, is not coaapicioualy large, or influential in so c:ety. *rvatd has almost made B«ton. Columbia is almost Unknown in New York. The committee of the Archseiiogical Imti ute, who had the thing tn charge, chose not to sell the tickets publicly, but by letter and private correspondence. Finally the night proved to be an opera nigh', contrary to expectation Nrveriheless, the Academy was fi 1-d to oveifl wii!g with such an audience as in quality has never had anything to com p-.re to it. Most notable among the nc upants of the opera boxes, was Mr.

Lowell, who

had come on fromBiston

with tt pirtv composed chi'flv ladies ihe ar'j lining box wis Miss Ellen Mason, al of Boston, who has dooe such excellent missionary work with her cheap translations of Plato. Dr P.iillips Brooks sat in the dress circle down stairs. G-n. William Curtis, Dr. -Inward Crosby, John Jav and Jo-eph Choate occupied seat* in tbe same row of boxes wiih Mr. Lowell. Hove ward Furness was there from Pni'adelphia, xnd the profef-sionul world of New York, had many representative, wiih President Barnard, of Colu ubia, at their head.

Besides the sch. Ins, there was stre mendous array ef fashionables, and it w»s ins-true i-e observe with what pi lite serenity they listened to ihedht-logu*-s, solil quies and choruses whiih were Greek to them in both enses of the word. Tney looked as solemn at the humorous speeches of Dikaiopolis as the very grave young gentleman who played hat pirt could b-ve wished them to. Such w?s their pc-lite'ness and amiabili'y, that nothing but the impossibility of a response prevented their culling upon the author for a speech w'ne the curlaio fell. The -ct is, that though in nine points out. of ten any preferab re prodnciion of a Greek play mu.st be utterly unlike so that it may with perfect truth, if not with perfect justice, be called a travesty of the original. Still ihe one point that is saved outweighs all ihe rest Such is the indefeasible vitality of Greek work, that no accidents of rendering c«n obscure its quaiity. Make it as modern as you please, it is still more Greek than anything else, and delightful beyond measure. Greece is still, or she always has ben, the l'gbt of the world, and whatever brings her nearer to

SUGARING THE CAR TRACKS.

The Strange Talk of a lrlve- to an (Duo i-e. Fiont Platform Rider. New Xork Sun.

On last Sunday night, after the big snowstorm, it was observed by a passen ger on the front platform of a Brooklyn norse car that the railroad tracks on half a dcz lines were channels for running water, while tbe snow elsewhere was crisp and dry. It was evident that had been used by the companies to melt the snow The use of salt in this way is forbidden by law. "They've been using salt on nearly aM the tracks over here, I see, said the passeDger. "Stli!" the driver repeated "what is that?" He paused a moment, and then added, thoughtfully: ''Is salt a sort of

powder I seen lem heaving

I heard ih.s company liad a contract with one of the eaft-!rn district refineries for a lot of sugar against the cjming of snow this winter?" "lt'ti agin the city orders to u»e salt, you kno*," he said, a block or so further tlong ''There area aood many cranke who wear sho^s and drive horses triat •r.ject to salt.

Tnere wa« silence ihat continued while the cr rod" two blocks or mote. "Why, of course, it don't hurt the tiorses," the driver broke out "and for a famed good reason The horses' feet are thoioughly washed in nice warm »ater, and every bit of tSe salt is rinsed ofl of them and ont cf them. And sail loes not hurt their feet anyhow. Only it makes their legs breek out in fright ful, bleeding sores above their hoofs, or it would if they weru't whippd into tbe stable and thoroughly washed the wav ihey are. Sure the only one's that's kicking are the truck drivers, and who cares for them? Let them cairy hot •vater and wash their horses' feet now aud^gain aod stop their blabbing."

Hp took two subjects, one a dumb woman afflicted with hysteria, atid the other a female who was in a state of hypnotic trance. A scre*D was jl-icod between the two, and the hysterical woman was then pui under tbe influence of a strong magnet. After a few moments she was rendered itsimb, while speech was suddenly restored to the other. M. Babniski also effected temporary cures of paralysis in the same manner. Luckily tor his healthier patients, however, their borrowed paios and symptoms did not last long.

which

la olden times was a bosyjplaoe, mod ating a large fleet of Asking vsssels, has so filed up that it is almost impossible to enter the harbor with a flre-too fishing-smack. Provinoatown harbor is also steadily filling up. The shores of the cape are constantly changing rendering them dangerous to mariners. While the sands are being washed seaward, the wind is alse sweeping them landward in large quantitiee, covering the boshes and trees. It is estimated that the sand bills'have moved townward three-quarters of smile in the past dozen years.

THE PICTORIAL AffT.

Its Astonl'blnc Do*elopm»nt aa Omwih. Ilia tratM Newspapers. Missouri Republican.

The death of James A. Wales, the car* toonist, colli to mind how sudden has been the development of the branch of art he represented, and how great the prosperity of those concerned in it io this country. I had a fri»nd who onw put every dollar ol his considerable fortune in a factory for making'hair tets for women. A month later the Empress Eugenie decided to do up her hair with pit s. and my friend conldo't get rid of bis tactory as a gift. E*«c'ly the contrary was thec-tse of M-. V. GribayedoflF, who came to this town an accomplished etcher and with a taste for drawing. He cou'd not have drawn for the newspapera then-if he had wanted to do it 'or th ing War maps and portraits of despti ate criminrls were the oily forms of pictorial art then Known in tbe press.

Sudde- ly—oi ly tbe other day, as it seems—pictorial press associations were formed for supplying the papers of the coumr.v with portraits aod sketches of notable persons and things Toe most iterprising of the city dailies elaborated the idea embrace tbe widest range of illustrations. Gribayedoff fiund himself so much in demand tnat he could scarcely get time for sleep._ W. A Mi Dougall and his apt associate, Folsom, were drafted from the art world, nd even such men as C. J. Taylor, of Puck, who has won honors at tbe aCad emy, was pulled at times into this newspaper work.

Almost as rapid has been the demand for comic aad cartoon work. The American cartoon practically had its birth iu Tweed's time at the hands of a man who could hardly have been callej an artist^ so rudely did he draw. But he had the faculty for seizing public attention with vigorous cartoons upon the follies and abuses of the hour, and these were more telling than speech or writing. Then came Joseph Keppler with -his humor, bis artistic sense aod training, jpd his bold grasp of timely subjects. After that Life and now tbe revivified Judge to say nothing of Snaps and Chic and other hssty consumptives that al ways fi-ure in the field. The demand for artists for these weeklies far exceeds the supply, and possibly half of those who now illustrate these papers are little better qualified, so far as artistic schooling is concerned, than tbe pro genitor of their craft iu this country Such an one was Wales, who knew' what to draw than how to draw, and in his time was as prosperous as the res', though be could not stand good luck as well as they.

But good or bad, trained or crude, these men are alt doing vastly well. The newspaper artists I have mentioued make from $5,000 to$8,000 apiece,6r more than twice ihe pav of any reporters whose stories they illustrate, except one. Thomas N st gets $10,000 a year, Keppler is worth $2f 0,000, aud the comic artists are either partners in or v(ry ably sal aried dependants upon very prosperous concerns.

DMIMSM Character.

A writer in a London paper discourses •bout the danger of easy "intimacies": that is, of giving the confidence to people of whom one knows nothing except that they are pleasant companions when they are met socially. "The danger lies," he says, in the facility with which companionship cf this kind is mistaken for true intimacy, though it does not really imply anything approaching to it" A woman **wi 1 trust her life to the keeping of a man of whose aims, of whose standard of right and wrong, of whose power and habit of living up to t^at standard she knows just as much and iusi as Intle as she does of the actors whom she has seen on the stage, though she is deceived into thinking she knows more, oniy because she happens in thiB case to ha.e been ne if the actors and not merely a passive spectator." There is more truth than poetry in this thought, for in nine cases oui of_ ten the two persons who come together in marrage have no more conceptii each of tbe other's true character and real dis position than of those ot a dozen ethers in their ci'de of acquaintance They are simply pleasant, social companions, and that is a 1.

Vases From Unman Bones Chicago Journal. Ex- Representative I. Hart Brewer, the famous New Jersey potter, mskes a novel suggestion to the cremationist. He says it is a well-known fart in art that ihe finest pottery is made from ixnes, and that tbe excellence of the ware increases as the order of the animal pndocint tbe bones rises. Consequent y, the very finest and most beautiful vases won'd be produced from human''bonce. In view thii fact, he suggests that the process of incineration be»nspeodd at the proper point to mane the waes sail abie for tbe perpoes, and that thtj tfcea

FOOLED ON A HORSE TRADE.

Among other subjects of rural interest that of horse-thieves wss introduced. Said one of them: ''I learned a good scheme by mighty dear experience, which I think was worth the price. About six months ago a young fe 1 drove up to my gate with likely a bay cv.lt as you'd see in a month, hitched to a light spiing wagon. He got out, and, walking over to me, asked the way to the nearest blacksmith shop. I told him it was five milt 8, aod by the time he got there tue shop would be closed. You'll see, as I go on, how nicely I bit Weil, be said he was a barbed wire-fence man, and he'd bought a colt which he was afraid was too young to stand the 1 rg drives he had to take

A BUDDHIST SHRINE.

A Spot as Sacred to Bndiihliti ma Jermsslem is to CurHtlxns. Mr. Edwin Arnold, C. 8.1 author of "The Light of Asia," has addresaed a letter to Sir Arthur Gordon, governor of the island of Ceylon, in favor of the restoration of the great shrine at Buddha-Gya to the Buddhists. The writer believes that such an act would reflect endui ing honor upon Sir Arthur Gordon's administration, and be proceeds as follows: "The temple and inclosure at Buddha-Gya are the most sacred spots for Buddhists in the whole world. To them this locality represents what Jerusalem is to Christains, Mecca to

Moslems and Benares to the Hindoo0. But Buddha-Gya is obcupied ly a college of Shivatte priests who worship Mahadey there, and deface the shrine with emblems and rituals foreign to its nature. That shrine and tbe ground surrounding it remain, however, government^ property, and there would belitilj difficulty, after proper and friendly negotiations, in procuiing the departure of the mahant and his priests, and the transfer of the temple and its grounds to the guardianship of Buddhist monks from Ceylon. It to carry out this project that I earnestly wish to win your excellencys good wilt. I have considered it respectful and becoming to addres you alone in tbe first instance, but I have consulted high authorities, and among them General Cunningham, who thoroughly sympathizes with the idea, and deel res it en tirely feasible I need' not point ou that if it could be accomplished, as I be lieve, without the least vexation to the preset tenants, not only wouid all your island revere the governor who had tii ven nick to Buddhism its geographical center, but that the Buddh'sts of Siam, of our new province of Burmah, of Tnisba ot Japan, and of Chiua would become m-m attached to British civil zition by this single act than by any other which could he devised. I »m sending a copy of this letter to Lord Duflerin and to the olher two chief priests in Colombo and tndy, Sri Weligama and Sri Sumaogili."

"Then the man that doDe the talkin before spoke up and says: "'If that colt aiu't got a three cent piece in her neck, she ain't mine.'

A REMARKAELE DISCOVERY

Ex-

Tbe Bone* at Enarmoan Ba«t4 hauied in Spolt ,n. toanty, W. r. Taooma Ledger.

W. M. Lee, the well known fruitgrower Tacoma, givea the particulars of a wonderful discovery of bones of extinct animals in Washington territory, which will attract the attention of the students of natural his ory and arch0 o.y all over the world. In a letter to the Ledger from Spokane Fals, just received, he say a: The face of the waole territory showunmistakable evidence of great volcanic upheavals Oo my trip through Spokane county 1 tipped at Latah, and in conversation with Mr. Coplen of that place, regarding the volcanic formation of that section, he informed me that he had examined some large bones of great iniquity. Accompanied by Mr Copleo 1 wnot to the spring where the relics were dug out. It is located oo a low -trip of springy prairie. The excavation around the spring is twelve Or fifteen fe-1 deep, and thirty or forty feet across

The boaes weie covered by several dis tinct layers. The first layer was ancient peat, then (•ravel, then volcanic ashes, then a laver of coarse peat. From this spring were taken no less than nine mammoths or elephants of different sizes, the remains of a ca/e bear and hyenas, extinct birds, nd a sea turtle. Mr. Coplen kindly presented me with some specimens of these relics. The dimensions of some of the nes of the larger mammoths were wonderful to look at. The horns were a sort of tusk and protruded fr itie head ju-t below the eyea, extending downward below thq 'ws, then upward over the head. By dropping tbe head in the act of feeding the circle of the horns that extended below the iws, partially rested on the ground, giving sup port to the bead, which is estimated to have weighed a ton.

The horns were worn away several Niches deep at the bottom of the turn or half circle, indicating constant use by rubbing on the ground or rocks Oae of these horns was ten feet and one inch long and twenty-four inches in circumference. It weighed 145 pounds- One of the tusks measured twelve feet and nine inches in length and twentyseven inches round. It weighed 295 pounds. The molar teeth weighed 18 pounds each. Some of the ribs were 8 feet long. The pelvic arch was 6 feet \cross, snd an ordinary man could walfc erect thr Uih this opening. Tfris huge and antiq.ie monster was 18J feet high, and was estimated to weigh 20 tons.

TRAMPS MUST BE DROWNED.

We»tcheter County bui-e *lanr« Have Parsed a Lair to bat Effect. New York Star.

The resolution offered by Mi. Joseph S'.e in the board of supervisors of vVestchester county, which provides for he drowning of tramps if they fail to nail water, is no longer looked upon as a joke. All .be burner was taken out ol yer'terday by tne adoption of the reso

Uiion by a vjie of 15 to 8 Westchester o.'Umy will very soon become one of the most distgieable summer or winter resorts for tramps on ihe face of this cootiueni, because under the terms of this resolution the trsinp must work or die As idleoess and life are very dear to tbe \Ve«tctiester tramp the resolution will strike terror to hia heart, and compel nim lo shun the county as a future base if operations.

The resolution provides for the erection of a buiidin. on the county farm eo constructed wiih apartments so as to be Hooded with water to the dep.h of six feet. When a tramp is caught the jin--iicri or magistrate ts required to sentence Dim to this tiamp pit. He is to be placed in one of lb se compartments, and ib water is to be turned oo. To save his life lie must b'il the water out as ftsr as ii comes io, or, in the language of the resoiu ion, "be submerged therebv."_

By the teruiS »f the resolution the unity treasurer, at the demand of the .muii tee oo superintendents of the po -r, shall borrow upon the credit of the county the im of $10 000. Theado(tion of the resolution created a good deal of comment yesteiday in While Piaios, because what appeared to be a joke has been turn.d it to stern reel iiy. When Mr. See called his resolution from tbe table and moved its adoption there could be seen a good many broad smiles on the faces of ihe members and the visitois, but when tbe resolution wss adopted ihesmties changed to a look of astonishment.

It seems that the legislature will have to pass an act permitting this mode «f punifhment before a court can inflict it but the place of punishment can be built without tbe aid of tbe legislature. Another resolution was, therefore, adopted requesting the senator and as nemblymen of the county to secure passage oi the necessary special tramp act, as provided in the resolution. The committee on superintendents of the poor will erect the building.

AMERICAN DENTISTS.

After he had gone, my host, also an American, eulogized him as one of the most ferve patriots he knew.

New York Star, j, "You ask me if I am much ef a theatergoer. This year I have been but three or four timea at most, and this is about the usual average. I ctrefully avoid the newspaper offices. I find that the majority of Freuch journalists are so filled wi an idea of the importance of their position as public sentinels that they become to me unioierrsting companions. Arrogance of all sorts 1 detest. Still I have many much loved friends among the literary world here. There are three or four whom

I constantly meet with. Eiu lu Z»la, Victor Hugo, "nd Alphonse Daudet are my particul friends. I h«ve a strong -flection for Flaubert nevertheless, ibis pirti lity was sddressed rather to tbe mn himself than 'o his writings, of which I am not a warm admirer. E uile da, whove works are so eagerly sought nf er in Ru-»ia, is undoubtedly a man of talen1, bus to speak frankly, he neither knows, nor desire.* to know, sught e'»e save what he cxn tiud in the literaiureof his own country. "Victor Hugo is the personification of French geuius. I ca only compare him to the mighty oak, one bough alone of which will endure long against the opp sit ion of winds and storms than many a whole tree in tbe forest close at hand. Hugo, like, la, shows a notable ignorance of foreign literature. With an amusing instance of this delect I will conclude my note. One day when we were discussing the meiits of Goethe at Victor Hugo's house, he informed me that he never had been able to see anything extraordinary in eihe's writings. "Wallen-tnin," that tedious piece, especially displeases me,' he remarked. Whereupon I nruural'y at once pointed cut to him that WllenBteia was not written by Goethe, but by Schiller. 'What dees that mattei?' he replied. 'Goethe and Schiller are very similar in sty l-*, character and matter. I assure you, t'iough I have never read any of their books, I know pretty weil what is written in them.'"

solete English Words.

A contributor lo the Pall Mall Gazette takes occasion ta explain to his fellowcountrymen that many of the terms which they call Americanisms are nothing less than good old English words which have become obsolete, or neaily so, at home. In some cases we have not only preserved the words from obliteration, but after retaining exclusive use of them awhile have restored them to tie Eng'ish vernacu'ar. ••Freshet" is one of these, and "bluff1' is mother. "f4uess." the U-te of which betrays an American at once in England, was in vogue when the Puritans wme over, and has sim| ly been pieserved here and fallen into dim-e there. "Fall," which we ofien subtiitu'e fo.- "autuuin," has the bei-t of authority iu Dry den. The word "eick" is not ofien he-trd in England, but 200 yeara go it wis as common there as it is now with

In tne latier case it •s an entir- departure from the original meaning and is essentially an AmericaniMn.

Sunset Cox'* Ambition.

Leavenworth (Kan.) Times. Sitnuel 8. Oox, if New York, will undoubtedly make a strong fight for the apeakership of the house in the Fiftieth congress.

Nearly twenty years ago Mr. Cox, who was then traveling in Europe, ote a letter to Daniel W. Voorheei, tben_ member from from the Terre Haute diitrict, io which he stated that his highest ambition was to be speaker of the house. He was io very bad health at tbe time, and was in doubt whe her he would live to see the United States again.

The Democrats were in a Hopeless minority in the house. He asked Mr. Voorhees. as a friend of many years, to use his influence with the inocra's to make him their caucus nominee for the opeakership The vote, he said, Wou'd be purely con plimen'ary, but he would at the same time ap-neciate it as a very high honor to he made ihe choice of his political friends for the position of speaker.
