ArUtooracy and Pecuniary Profit Combined. WASHINGTON, July 9,—Secretary Whitney has sold "Grasslands," bis oountry place on the Tenallytown road, above Georgetown. It is understood that he has leased it for two years with the privilege of a third having reserved that right when making the sale. In the spring of 18S5, Secretary Whitney purchased this place, which contained 100 acres and a large house, far $-300 per acre. He subsequently sold twenty-five acres at $1,50 per acre, and has now sold the remaining seventy-five acres for $75,0!t0.

Srcretary Fairchild has purchased for $50,000 a residence at the intersection of New Hampshire avenue, O and Twentieth streets. It frouts on New Hampshire avenue and adjoins the hc-uso being built by Representative 8. 8. Cox.

WASHINGTON, July 9.—Arrangements for the trip of the President and Mrs. Cleveland next week are all completed and barring accidents thev will leave Washington for New York and Uiica on Monday. They will be absent from the White House one week. Beyond this brief viwt no other arratiae uents for absence front tho White House hayn been made except his Atlanta trip fixed for October. It is generally believed the second invitation from St. Louis will be accepted.

Mr. Hoey intended forbidding the'marriage, and talked of a breach-of-promise suit against the young lady. but being advised tliat he had no iegal e'.aim upon her, he made out the bill as above and sent it to her on the day of her weddiug. As soon as Mr. C«sidy heard of the matter ho sent his check for the •mount, which Hoey has accepted as a slight balm for his seared heart.

The Coke strike Not Over. UKTOKTOWX, PA., July 9.—The coke strike has not ended. The action of yeeday ia convention in offering to resume work if a sliding sca'e was agreed to has caused a good deal of dissatisfaction, and another ir«-eting will ha held on Monday when it wi'l probably t.e decided to continue the stride. Notwithstanding this the operators seem to ba on top and a general resumption is regarded as only a .question of a short lime.

WJ&iafc **H«S

have

erected within a radius of a quarter of a mile large and expensive dwellings, in which they have resided with their families during the sessions of confess. and entertained with an elegance and liberality that excittd the envy of their less wealthy colleagues. Singular to say, however, net one of these wealthy statesmen now (c apies his handsome house, and most of them are looking for purchasers While occupying a mat ia the senitd Mr. Blaine built a large and expensive house, which he furniahtd in the moet luxurious manner, on a triangle fronting on Dupont circle. He took possession of this house shortlv before h* was called to the cabinet of President Garfield, end was living in it at the time Garfield was afsassinated. When he retired from ih-* cabinet and from Washington Mr P.laine rented his hou-e to Mr. Loiter of Chicago, who has since resided there, at a rental of $10,000 year.

Mr. Windom, while Becrctary of the treasury, began the erec ion of a fine mansion at the intersection oi Massachusetts avenue and Sixteenth street, whieh he occupied during the time he held a seat in the senate after leaving Garfield's cabinet. Having failed of a re eWction to the cenate, Mr. Wiodom was obliged to leave Washington, end Lis mansion is now occnpicd by a wealthy tenant, BH Ohio man named B. H. Warder. George H. Pendleton also built a handsome house on Sixteenth street near that of Mr. Windom, in which he resided until succeeded in the senate by Mr. Pdine, when he, too, vacitod his Washington home, and it is now occupied* bjr Secretary E&dicott.

George H. Robeson is another statesman who built himself an elegant mansion on Sixteenth street on a lot adjoining that of Mr. Pendleton. Mr. Robeson dropped out of congress and the lights fled from his Washington home, which has been in charee of a colored watchman ever since. Mr. Van Wyck is the last statesman to be driven from Washington and a beautiful house of his own erection, situated at the corner of Massachuietts avenue and Eigheenth street. Mr. Van Wyck retires from the senate and his house ii advertised for sale, the price asked beieg $65,000. in the immediate vicinity of the nouses described is the large mansion erected by senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, at a cost of about $100,000, Mr. Cameron has been more fortunate than his former colleagues. He remains in congiess, the solitary exception to those who expended large sum* of money in the creaation of residences hen but Mr, Cameron sold his house to a wealthy New York hanker, who died after residing iu it about a year. The six houses nam.d cost their projectors at least $500,000, sn average of abiut $80,000 for each, it is a subject of irequeut remark that none of them is now occupied by those who built and expected to live in them for many years.

TUTTLE TALKS. *nrvv\T

What He Thinks of Clev»l«nd's Letter and the Angry St. LOLIUUI. DES MODUS, Ia., July 9.—Gen. Tuttle, commander of the G. A. R. for the department of lows, who first raised objection to Cleveland's visit to the G, A. R. encampment at St. Louis, wis asked this evening on his return to the city what he thought of Cleveland's refusal to visit St. Louis. He said: "The President has backei down ro completely that I don't f«ei like exulting over him, but he has done the wise thing and the only thing under the circumstances that he could. I see that he tries to get some sympathy by talking abut being undeterred by threats of violence ii ha had gone. As to thit no threats cf violence were ever made, and no vi.-lence was dreamed cf. Thete are more ways of showing an o'd t-oldter's contempt than by throwing bricks. I see th^t the dispatcher say that St. LDUU people are very angry at tne G. A R, and proprwo to lrent the members with incivilit". Well, all I hive to say is that the G. A. R. don't ask any favors of St. Louis. They don't go there to be entertained, but wilt fiad their enjoyment iu the associations which bind mem together in the moet fraternal tie. If we're a setof politicians it might hurt us to have the city turn tbe cold ehouldci on us, but bring no.hing but old soldiers it won't mane any difference. When I w8 in St, Louis the Democrats quote ma as saying that 99 per cent, ot the G. A. R. were opposed to Cleveland's visit, althoaeh I e*id !)0 per cent. Since I came home and saw the letter" that have poured in from all over the Uoiied S*ate3 approving the stand I took I accept the amendment and move to make it unanimous. I am glad that Cleveland has sensibly decided to keep away. He ought, for never before has a civilian been invited to participate in such exercises, and I don't want them fellows to be running the G. A. R. in politics. I haven't anything against the southerners, but I don't like their ways. Until they are willing to let every man in'the South cast a vote and have his vote honestly counted, I shall take little stock in their profession of loyalty."

Didn't Want the Soldiers, lint the Politician. ST. LOUIS, July 9—An evening paper rays the opinion is freely expressed in this city that the Grand Army will be the chief sufferers by the refusal of the president to visit St. j^mis. Already several business houses have declined to pay the subscriptions they made to the Grand Army fund. One subscriber said: "I think the Grand Army fund will be reduced $.25,000 by the president's letter and refusal to come to the city." The finance committee ha8 collected mare than half the amount subscribed. There still remains $40,000 to be collected, and it is probable that many of the subicriptions will be scratched off in view of the president's action.

The St. Loots Affair.

The Chicago Inter Ocean gives the true situation as follows: Whether there were an attempt on the part of certain superserviceable friends of the President to convert his review of theG. A. into a boom forrenominatiou, or whether the |too ardent imagination of cortain unquestionably loyal gentlemen fancied that which did not exist, or whether the restoration of the digs fiasco has hnd an unpleasant efiect is not just now worth inquiry. The whole business connected with the procted St. Louis visit has been unfortunate, and the President has dona tbe only thing that he could have done with dignity or wisdom he has declined to go where he would not have been absolutely welcome.

The president in his letter is not quite fair to tbe members of the G. A. R. Those who protested most earnettly against the programme a? arranged by the St. Louis committee did so because their order wa3 to be made part of a political demonstration in favor ot the preeident. They contended that ever since the organization of the Grand Army a determined efiort had been made to keep the organization aloof from political movements, and pointed to the fact that at the meeting at Portland, Me., objection was raised to a visit from Mr. Blaine and sustained. It was very desirable, however, that the president should atep outside the limits of the controversy, and he has done so.

On another point tbe president is neitlier frank nor fair. He states that the feeling of the ex-soldiers against him is based on "certain official acts," meaning the veto of the pensioa bil's. The fact is that the ill feeling among the ex-soldieis was not caused by the exercise cf the president's veto power so much as by the heartless and needlessly offensive languige used in the messages. The president went out of his way to cast slurs on crippled veterans, and old soldiers in the hot fury of honest indignation repented the wanton insult. It is well for the president to remember that he, from his h'gh ofice, threw the first ston? and if he hss been hurt, he is in the main responsible.

In Th« Sandwich Island.

SAX FKANCISCO, July 9.—W. P. Castle, son of one of the king's privy council, arrived from Honolulu to-day. He said, describing the scetes in Honolulu: "On Friday evening July 1, when we sailed, everybody carried arms. When the town was under martial law after Gibson and his son-in law were arrested and taken in charge by the rifle?, a search was made for the secretary of ireign affairs, Joseph Webb, who was supposed to be in collusion with Gibson. He w*s fomnd late in the afternoon just betore wa sailed, and wss olaced in a warehouse with Gibson and his son-in-law. At a great mass meeting Thursday evening not one voice was raised in favor of the king, the natives and all were agsinst hiiu, although some of his old friends pitied him. The natives, however, were mostly against Gibson, and considered te was personally responsib'e for Kalakana's action. During the meeting Thursday, a hoide of Kalakuas swarmed around Gibson's house and shouted for him to come out, but Gibson knew it would not be safe to show himself.

An Indiana Madman.

TIFPINT, O., July 9.—Last night an unknown man was found raving in a terrible manner at the Foetoria depot. He is violently insane, and nothiag can be learned a* to his present home. In bis sachel are numerous papers, one of which is a certificate d.ited Harts ville, led Sepiember, 1SS6, and spying that William Hender.-o was a member in good standing of the Methodist church, and was an able teacher and lecturer. O her papers also contain he name of Willing Henderson, one stating that he had etadied for a Catholic priest, but had afterward married a Methouist lady, who had converted him to that faith.

1 HE BOLT HAS FALLEN

At Last Dr. McGlfnn la Excommanlcattd by ihe Pcpe. NEW YORK, July 9.— ihe bolt tkat hai for weeks been hanging over the head of Dr. McGlynn has fallen. He has been excommunicated and henceforth will be to the Church of Rome as though he had never lived- A Mail and Express reporter learned positively ibis morning at Archbishop Corrigan'B residence that the papal brief ordering the formal excommunication had been received, and that accompanied by a letter from Archibishop Corrigan, it would be read in ail the Catholic churches of this diocese to-morrow. Dr. McDonell had but one cony of the decree when the Mail and Express reporter called at the palace. Another nad bean given (o the printer. Dr. MoDonell declined to part with his copy. The Papal brief is not long, but it is very much to the point. It seta forth the rontumncy of the ex priest,'and refers with sirrow to pj'eistency in defying the church which has been IO anxious to see him repent and do penance for the teaod*! that he baa provoked. It goeu on at some lenghth to explain the necessity of the present act, compliments Archbishop Corrigan an his firmness and die retion, and ends by instructing hisi to publish the decree of excommunication in his arch diocese at once. The letter from the archbishop will recite anew the anxious efforts cf the Iccil church and authorities to bring Dr. McGlynn to a proper sense of his duties KB priest and concludes by exhorting the faithful to obey implicitly the mandate from Rome with reference to the nnfrocked priest. This is the last act, in the str-nge drama so far as the church itself concerned. Dr. McGlynn is entirely cut oil from it, and Catholics are not supposed to associate with him. All the Bacrainents are withheld from him. The priest who should even give him absolution on his dying bed would be liable to be unfrocked.

Echoes of Schilling.

The Alpha Union, the Union Libor party's organ, disappointed many persons yesterday by failing to give a statement of tha cash account of the Fourth nly fund.

Mail: "The Fourth of July as a day for a political celebration, under the guise of a general celebration, and at the expense of liberal minded citizens and busines. men,^ is not a success. The Uoion Labor party may have a great mission to perform, but the accomplishment of its purpose is far, far in tho future^ as long as it permits scheming politicians who control it to al-use public confidence as was done in Terre Haute. Wonder how many business men would have contributed to tbe Fourth of July fnnJ knowing that it was to be expended in securing speakers and paying the expenses of a grand rally by the I nion Labor party."

Kidnapped by Gypsier.

CHICAGO, July 9.—Mary Scheenfeldt, 8 years old, daughter of Officer Schoenfeldt, of the Central station, strayed away from friends in Loncoln park yesterday and has not since been seen. Officer Schoenfeldt spent the night in search. He learned that two old gypsy women were seen in the park yesterday and the inference is that they made oft with the girl, as a child of her age and intelligence could not be lost in the city.

Let Them be Shot.

They belong to a gang that has been working i'aso Del Norte for months and are wanted for other desperate crimes. The Mexican code makes highway robbery a capital crime.

This qaietness does not prevail in all Stanches, for in several thfe best trade of the year is now feit. Ellis' woolen mill is now running at the fall capacity, July and Aogost being the b*st months of tbe year. The condition of the woolen market shows a decided improvement ss batter prices are %ece ved for manufactured goods than at any time iat year. The firm is gradually goint- out of the jetns busiie s, and now mikes only yain blankets, flusnels, etc. More orders 'are being received than at this time last year. The iron industries are doing a good bneiness also. Hedges.' machinery depot is running steadily, and Las more work on hand than can be done with the present force. There ia a very good tr:de in ihrtshipg machinery, and some tile mill machinery is being sold. Repairing is heavy, and occupies the entire force. Tbe Wabash rolling mill has closed down for repairs, and it is not definitely knowa when operations will be resumed. There is a good stock cf iron on hand, and trade is reported light. The Eagle Iron works is having the usnally heavy trade in coal mining machinery, and contracts of this kind have occupied the entire attention of the machine shop fores duriag Jthe last week. The moulding department is filling a good many orders, and altogether business is very satisfactory. Cliff & Co.'s boiler works ran at the full cspicity all week. Several new contracts have been received, and aa Boon as possible work on theee will be commenced. A large stock for the electric light works, several Prox patent boilere, and heavy repairs at the nail worKs and paper mill are being made. The Pbuuix foundry and machine shops aro doing general iron work, several important contrac's and miscellaneous repairs being on hand. The United States Scales works are now sending scales into Indianapolis, St. Louis, Peoria, and other large towns where in former yearB no business wss dons. During the last week several improvad scales were shipped, and orders »re oi hand for several more. Trade this year ihows a material improvement over ttiat of last year and has broadened out very much. The condition of the flour markets remains about the same, no great change either for the better or worse l:eing reported. Some erporling is being done, but the bulk of trade is domestic, being divided between the East and South. W. Kidder A Sons made several good shipments to Antwerp and Glasgow last week and report these places buying freely. The "Imperial Milla" of W. S. Kidder & Sons are now about finished and yesterday afternoon all the machinery was started, and worked beautifully. When the milla are entirely finished and in full operation, an invitation will be extended to the public to visit them. _Mr. Kidder says they are the finest mills in the country. The output of flour last week was about the same as that of the prcvieus week.

The planing mills are doing such a business as could be expected at this time, and all are running at good capacities. Clift, Williams & Co. shipped a lot of stairway and inside finishing to Birmingham, last week, and are getting a large order ready for shipment to Chattanooga They are engaged on the rfC'dpme of Colonel Thompson and the McKetn business row still, and have a large force of men at work.

THE FESTIVE BURGLAR AGAIN

The Residence Of Mr. A. Hexs Entered at 8 O'clock inr the Evening.

Suspicious Persons Overhauled By Tk« Police And In-vwtiffatc-d.

Superintendent Lawlor's Would Proving To Ba More Serious Than At "First Tfeough.

ABOUT BURGLARS.

Suspicious Coadnat of Firs Men—Th# LUeit Reports to the Polico. Several days ago a company of five, three white men and two colored men, visited Willison's drag store at tbe corner of Fourth and the Vandalia and purchased cigars. The white men were well dressed, bnt the negroes were shabby looking. The clerk dismissed all thongbt of them." They disappeared in the direction of the river. About 5 o'clock they returned, three taking cigars and tbe other two soda water. They were very curious and their actions struck the clerk as biing suspicious They finally left the store, and separated. Looking around the .corner of tbe store the clerk saw two go up the alley between Fourth and Fiftt, still acting very suspiciously. They finally disappeared altogether and have not been seen since.

The police are making frequent arrests of suspicious characters, Late at night strangers are made to give an account of themselves. Last tight the officers arrested three persons on suspicion.

Naturally the police are becoming quite exasperated at the "one white and one colored burglar." The mysterions pair act as if they are wholly unaware of tha existence of such a thing as a police force notwithstanding they were recently shot at and chased several squares. It would be but natural to suppose that thev would now be willing to leave the town, bnt they stick here and diligently persue their work. The most andacions and recent efiort was made at the residence of A. Hera on south Sixth street last evening shortly after eight o'clock. No one but the -•hiidren were at home, and they were playing in the front yard, hiving just left the nursery. They were suddenly startled by see'ng some unknown parson walking through the house with a light and heard a noise in the back kitchen. They immediately called for help and the neighbors hurried to the place. The bsck window screen was heard to dron, being cf the eliding kind, and the burglars were gone. The toys in the nursery were crushed by seme ODe walking over them in the dark. In the dining-room the sideboard doors were found open, bnt nothing gone. Merchant Policeman Hannish was in formed of the affair and reported it at headquarters.

SUPERINTENDENT LAWLOR.

HU iDj Iirlt.g Worao th»n Thought at First —The Hullet Still in tho Leg. Superintendent Lawlor's injuries are worse than at firat supposed. His limb is stiffened at the knee and it is question able whether he can ever use the joint. The physicisnB made a second a1 tempt ta locate the ball, but were unsuccessful The ball passed under the knee cap and shattered it. Tbo course of the ball is unknown. The wound is row more paintul than yesterday and no effort will be made to God the ball until the wound becomes belter. The superintendent is in good spirits and talks lightlv to those who call to fee him. Captain Vandever said that if he had had a hitching strap with which to tie np tlw hor^e the ahooting would probably never have occurred. Had he accompanied Lawior over the grade he woald have known Winburn and there would not have been any attempt made to arrest him. The superintendent did not know Winburn and supposed that he was a strange man.

Destroying a Child's Blrthinirk. CHICAGO, July 9.—Mcne. DJ Benkalear aad Dr. Birt waro each fined $500 and sentenced to thirty days in the county jail by Judgo Xuthill yesterday for destroying tha birthmark on the person of Baby Andrews, concerning the posses sion of whom a struggle has been in progress in tha courts for several days. Contempt of court was the offense for which this punishment was administered. It consisted in tampering with evidence, end the evidence was the birthmark by means of which the child was identified. Mme Benkalear acknoaleeged having ordered the flesh cut away from the child, and Dr. Birt admitted having performed the operation.

Tbe Normal.

During the snaamer vacation a few unimportant repairs will be mad# in the Kormal buildings, sach as plumbing and papering, and everything made in readiness for the fall term. There w.ll be but one change in the faculty jr the ensuing term. Mr. E!wood Kemp will occupy the chair of history made vacant by the resignation of Miss Lucy Salmon, who goes to Vassar college. A very large aitendince is expected this fall.

Prof. Parsons will attend the maetiog of the National Teachers' association in Cr.icaeo next week, and will read a paper entitled "What can be done to aronse public sentiment in favor of edu cation?"

Mr. McKeen'a Hew Block. The McKeen block, at the corner of Seventh and Main streets, now begins to a-sume proportions and will soon give an idea as to what it will be when completed. So far the mammoth iron work for the front cf the first floor, and tha arched tntrance to the stairway have been put np on Main street, and the pressed brick wall to the second story built on Seventh street. The pressed brick work is being done ky two masons from Cincinnati, who receive J6 each per day, with free transportation to and from Cincinnati once a week. The block is calling forth much favorable comment from visitors.

BALTIMORE, July 9.—The Morning Herald of this city will publish to-mor row a six column contribution, giving an account of recent important interviews with Jefleraon Davis. Among other things he charges that the Federal government cjnspired during the late war to have him assassinated.

Other buildings cannot be saved, aa tbe fire department is powerless to aires! th* conflagration.

AFTER BREAKFAST CHAT.

Every body cf professional people has its distinguishing features. twyers are cool and collected, and vary from the dashing to the grim, two widely separate^ extremes, bnt both, with the intermediate specimens, having like characteristics that unmistakably advertise their calling. Doctors ia convention are rather a jolly looking set of fellows, drawing some sort of mysterious cheerfulness from tt.eir business, which their patients are apt to consider rather conducive to melancholy. Teacheia mind their own "ps" and "q'a" in institute and conventions with that assiduity which betrays them the world over. The great gathering of musicians which assembled in Indianapolis this week was no exception, and the individual members could be picked out on the streets, and in the restaurant without ths frag menta of conversation which one overheard, interlarded with "oft the key," "transposition," "phrasing" and other technicalities. An observing friend remarked that she had always noticed that musicians were dark rather than fair Annie Luise Cary beiog the only exception she had ever known among the great singers. The convention seemed to bear out this assertion, and in the majority, cer ainly, brunettes preponderated. There were delegates and visitors from every state in the unioq, 8slem, Oregon being represented by tne head of the conservatory of music there. YTe csn hardly conceive of a conservatory eff music in that remote region, which, nevertheless is far in advance of us in many other important pariculars.

It was, taken altogether, a decidedly good looking assemblage, and with tbe fine voice?, handsome faces seemed to be pretty equally distributed.

The Chicago girl was there,' her gay and becoming toilette, which melts^ unnoticed into the glare of the prevailing styles of her nVive city, being somewhat pronounced for a convention, but which was atoned for by an enchanting independence and alertness. The Louisville girl was recognised by her soft voice, the sparsity of her "rs," and by her dark eyes the Boston girl bv her severe simplicity and the New York member by her nattiness and general prettiness.

The male delegates seemed to ha*® been chiefly foreigners, and a despairing sbort-hand reporter told me that in the Babel of French, German and Italian he could hardly get two consecutive statements. Most of them were well advanced in years, stout, bald and showing evidences of loving beer not wisely but too well. It mfy be true that in choirs, musical people fall out and quarrel that they are consumed by jealousy and incapable of appreciating each other's merits. The reverse of this is certainly true when they meet together on great occasions. Then there is an all-nervading spirit of good-fellowship introductions and other formalities were dispensed with, and the applause was generous and sincere, all the more valuable bees use it was much more intelligent than that inspired by mere admiration.

The great chorus of four hundred voices has never been surpassed by and chorus at any of the opera or musical festivals in the country. It was made up of all the amateur and professional talent of Indianapolis members of choirs and musical societies, and ths teachers of the public scuools. They had been rrhearsing ir months under tha v«ry efficient directorship of Prof. A. Ernestinoff. There was a little uncertainty on Tues day nigbt, when tbey sang for the first time, atter hut one rehearsal, with the oruhestra. But they gained self confidence with every performance, and were unreservedly praised by those competent to judge, and who had heard some fine chorus work in their time.

The first nij ht was devoted to the rendition of works by American composers. At the conclusion of each number there was an enthusiastic call for the author, and those who were present catjje upon the stage, and bowed their acknowledgements.

They showed in the baldness, above mentioned, that in music, as in art and literature, success does not come until late in life, and probably after experiences that would tend to dishearten any hut the biing inspired by genius, which is, after all, only highly epiritualiasd perseverenc9.

The orchestra, under the leadership of Frank Van der Slucken, was thought by many to surpass the Thomas crchestra. It was not so heavy, nor yet eo light as the Boston Quintette Club, but combined tbe excellence# of both. It was heavenly music, and charmed both those who could appreciate its perfections in the way of technique, and ths unlightened who were there cimpJy to be charmed Dy a '"ooncrd of eweet sounds." Two weeks ago it was ia Berlin and was received with high honors, beinfc the only American orchestra that has ever presumed to compete with the Gsrmin orchestra on its o»fn territory. It was overwhelmed with complimentary notices from the Berlin press, which may be regarded as that "praise from Sir Hubert," which_"is praise indeed/' Van der Siucken him self i» a tall, slender man, with blonde curly hair, growing thin on top of his head, straight features, mild eyes that rtgsrded the audience through large, hold-framed spectacles, and a profile that strikingly resembled the portraits of Diafc. The orchestra give c3."certs_at Steinway and Ghickericg hall last winter and are now building a magnificent hall of their own. a

Mr. William H. 8herwood was the pianist on Tuesday even ng, and Dr. Mass the second. It was interesting to watch Mr. Sherwood's flaxible fingers, for, except at intervals h« could not be heard. A piano cannot 'very successfully compete with an orchestra and a chorus. The "tuui-ti-tum, turn, turn," was completely swallowed np and lost— it was the faintest trickle of sound, in a great volume, proceeding from combined violins, cellos, flageolets and all tbe rest.

Mr. Sherwood, by the by, in manner and appearance resembles our distinguished fellow-citiun and ardent disciple of Ignatius Donnelly.

Dr. Maas, with ell due respect to both —what 6hall I say At any rate, he has a suspiciously high forehead, a military air and a mustache. His fingering was marvelous, for a? on the first nigbt not much could be heard. But nevertheless there was a fixed ettention and many "ohs" and

Tho other day an elderly literal man met this young critic and said to fcim "I euppoee you won't resent a friendly word about your book-reviewing from a literary veteran, will you?'' "Certainly not." "Well, 3U are doing pretty well, but your work is sdly immature. I have teen some particularly boyish criticisms lately." "Would you be willing to mention some examples to help me mend ntv style?'' "Certainly."

And then the literary veteran proceeded to name tnree particular book notices as containing in every line the evidence of immature judgment. "I thank you very much," said th« young critic but the first crit cism you named *H written by a distinguished socialist in the department of learning which the book treated le secmd wat tho work of a professor in Harvard college, and the third was written by one of the most eminent literary clergynun of Boston."

CITY TAXES.

An Increase of Three-Qaertera of a Button in Valuet. The city board of cquaHzitioa completed its labors yesterday afternoon after quite a laborious session. The, board insdo quite a large number of raises and many persons were summoned to appear and explain their assessments. The corrections, or aore properly sneaking, increases amounted to sver $32!S,000. The taxables were given at$l.".0,000 in excess of last year. The building and loan taxes last year amounted to $218,665. Owing to the law passed by the last legislature building and loan stock is exempt from taxation. Taking these figures ieto cor. si der at eon the tax list this year has in reality been increased to the extent of nearly $700,000.

Amateur Nswspaper Writing. The season has arrived when tho would-be summer correspondents haunt the editorial sanctums, ard oiler their services to furnifh letters in retnrn for which tbiy usually expect sums sufficient to msint-iin them in luxuty at the most fashionable and expensive tutniner resor s. There is something at once touch ing and exasperating in the confidence theee people .ve in their powers, and widely distorted idees they cherish concerning the pecuniary retultsof a summer correspondence. "I thought," one of them remarked to the editor, with a ctndor beautiful to 'te, "that cf courfle newspapers waDt information about the best society, and of course to vet that one must live at the -8t hotels." "Wiiy not have a cottage and be done with it," retorted the rdilor, whoee temper was somewhat h"rsh that morning.

You have never written, you say?" "No, but lam sure I could do it. My friends have always said that I write very bright letters."

The editor opened his lips, but he closed them without Baying anything unpleasant. "I don't doubt thot," was all he replied, "only it is difficult to find a place for all the nice things that are written. There are only to many columns in a newspaper unfortunately."
