It Is generally leap beef or horseflesh, and although ferior in quality to the toothsome mor ls that regale' the favored pussies of any a household, it is said to be far etter thau the fare which is dealt out by ie “eatmeat” man” of London, who is a igular and familiar personage of the nglish metropolis. There is another character iu some jighborhoods of whom the community large knows nothing. He rejoices iu ie name of “the morning caller,” and is enerally a needy old man, although in oth age and condition he varies. The morning caller” is a sort of human arm clock and his services are generally ngaged by bartenders, grocery clerks nd men who have to 1 ‘open early. ” From ie “wee sma’hours” he is abroad, slip ing from house to house and from room , room, tapping upon doors and halloo ig in hallways. He has all kinds of readier to face and is often very ill pro ided for his journey. But he generally taggers about his route faithfully; for, oor creature, he knows that neglect of is duties means the imperiling of his ustomers’ positions and the loss of the bw dimes on which he depends for p.x itence. Some “morning callers” live* pith their families in the poorer districts nd depend upon their own wakefulness r the care of watchful spouses to insure ertainty in the discharge of their duties, tut many of them prefer to spend the ate hours of the night and the early ones f the morning in some of the “all sight” lar-rooms, whence they feel positive hey will be despatched on their mission t, a timely hour, although frequently in condition ill adapted to insure a ful ilment af their duties. The immense business of the big totcls and the amount of refuse turned mt of them have been the cause of the nstitution of anew trade. .It is that of '‘broken food collector.” There is a ihorter and more pointed term applied to he class by those who deal with them, lut this appellation best expresses their nisi ness. It may not be generally known, lor may it be appetizing to persons who ive at some of the very cheap restaurants ibout town, that part of the provender lerved has already made its appearance in ar more delectable quarters. But such s the case. Chops and steaks and even other edibles which havo occupied the dates of diners in high-toned hotels and lave only been nibbled are turned out unong the refuse of the kitchen and (ought up by big dealers who find all of it available for some purpose, and who nake profits of many thousands of dol ars at the business; and, first of all, these find a market among the “ broken food collectors. ” Still shapely steaks and cuts, unharrassed chops and joints that retain their fibre and juices, are gathered by the collector and by him retailed among the cheap restaurants, where they are served up anew to cus tomers less fastidious or unaware of the “ chestnut ” character of their meal. Of course, this practice has been generally kept under cover by restaurateurs in deference to the feelings of their more captious patrons. But of late a few of them—notably one on the extreme east side, a little off Grand street, have boldly put themselves forward as champions of the second-hand dinner and announce themselves as such. What is more, there seems to have been no falling off in their custom. In fact, it has increased. And doubtless the philosophy that sends a man to a dealer in misfits or second hand clothing with an expectation of finding raiment of superior texture and cut at very low rates has led the patrons of these restaurants to willingly expend a small sum for savory viands which they think but little discounted by having lain on some less hungry but more wealthy being’s dish. The “butt-picker,” while not general ly visible in fashionable haunts, is a be ing who infests the whole community, and who has been heard of by nearly every one, even if his authenticity be some times doubted. At one time there was a large number engaged in the business, but the work of the society for the pre vention of crime has done much to de crease it- by their scrutiny of the Italian population’s ways and means of living. The “butt-picker” was generally provid ed with a bag or basket. He dived into saloons, infested the fronts of hotels, and generally traveled from place to place along the curb stone with an eye on the gutter and another on the walk. What he was in. quest of was cigar stumps. heir quality he did not heed, and whether they had come from the lips <u millionaires or beggars did not concern him. And once he had reached some obscure hutch of a place in a , rosb y or Baxter street alley his bag or casket was emptied and its contents added to that of his little colleagues in the work. The stamps were then sorted and sold. They went to big cigarette mid cigar factories, where they were re sorted, unstripped or ground and came ut anew in handsomely labelled boxes to . disposed of to the confiding commu nity. The “butt picker” is not extinct. By no means.

But now it is used as an attraction in some of the largest liquor palaces in town. Among the foreign abiders in New York there are scores of odd means of making a living of which the public knows little. No one would imagine that the sabot of the French ]>easantry would be marketable in this land of leather footgear. Yet an old man ou .South Fifth avenue until lately found subsistence in hollowing out and shaping the wooden shoes. Few think either of the strange bucolic occupations the su burbs offer: how there are farm hands in Harlem and people who go about New Jersey and Long Island collecting medi cinal herbs and leaver and water-crosses, and now from the e> me quarters even frogs are brought by the collectors ol them to the New York market. And then there are the thousand shapes in which actual mendicancy hides itself under a pretext of amusing the public. Apart from the organ grinders and the street bands, the acrobats of the barroom and the itinerant concert companies of the German saloons, there are the men with the performing bears who rarely appear in . town now and that exhibitor of trained birds who causes the little crea tures to tell fortunes in addition to per forming other duties of a nature by no means ornithological. —New York Herald. “Constitutional Cowards.” Speaking with Colonel Greene, says a writer in the Philadelphia New*, about the irresistible impulse among soldiers to lie down when shells whizzed danger ously near, he replied, “Yes; that im pulse is uncontrollable, and I recall just now a laughable occurrence at Fred ericksburg in Virginia. You remember the enemy had a number of siege guns there, and every now and then they would throw a tremendous shell across the Rappahannock and send consterna tion and panic through our camps. At first these shells created great confusion and dismay but the boys soou became used to r thcm, and unless one came very near little attention was paid to tho can nonading. “I was standing one day, however, in the midst of our camp, where perhaps a hundred" soldiers were to be seen, when suddenly one of these great shells was heard coming through the air, and as it whirled with a terrible crash directly over our heads every one of those hundred forms crouched down behind the shelter tents in little blue heaps, myself includ ed, and when they recovered themselves and raised up once more the blood had fled from every face and they were blanched to an asliy whiteness. As soon as they saw the danger was passed the blood came mantling back to their cheeks with the blush of their shame and their fears vanished with a loud laugh as an old sergeant of the regiment, whose face had been of the whitest, realizing how- ridiculous it was to hide behind a shelter tent to find safety from a shell that would have knocked a horse down, shouted so that every man could hear him, ‘lsay, boys, when the Johnnies fling another of them grave diggers over this way ’spose wc get a sheet of note paper aud hide behind that,’ And yet,” added the colonel, “within a week these same men were part of a line which marched up to Mary's Heights over a field that was literally plowed with shot and shell until they were so close to the siege gun that threw the grave diggers that you could have tossed a copper into their trenches where the iron monster laid.” The other incident mentioned by Colo nel Greene was more touching: “We had,” he said, “in our command a man who could not go into a fight. He was a good fellow, and everybody liked him, and he was really more pitied than con demned for his cowardly infirmity. Find ing that he was of no service in the com pany, and fearing that his example might be demoralizing, he was detailed as a teamster, and he served with the wagon trains throughout the whole war and was never in a fight. After hostilities had ceased and there was not an armed vol unteer in the field, this man, who was still on detached service in the field, was one day engaged in removing a lot, of muskets from a wagon preparatory to their being sent North. A comrade who was assisting him cautioned him to be careful as some of tho guns might be loaded. He replied that there was no danger, as they were old and rusty, and had long been out of use, but scarcely had the words escaped his lips when one of the guns was discharged and he was instantly killed.” Proofs and Prints. There are various kinds of proofs and prints of engravings and etchings, rules for distinguishing which one ought to know: “Remark proofs” (“remark.” from French remarque) are the first impres sions from the plate, and are the most costly. Fifty copies are usually made. They are printed with the utmost care; every copy is closely examined, and if a flaw is discovered even in a single line, it is destroyed. The “remark proof’al ways has an emblem, chosen according to the artist’s fancy, engraved upon the margin of the plate. After the remark proofs are made, the remark is rubbed off the plate, and the “artist’s proofs” are taken. These usual ly humber two hundred Like the re mark proofs, they are executed with the most painstaking care; but they, of course, lack the value of the mark which stamps the first impressions of an en graving as cherished rarities. The ‘ ‘ar tist’s proof’ is marked at the bottom witli the name of the painter and the engraver, or etcher. The “proofs before letters” are printed immediately after the artist’s proofs. They usually consist of 100 copies. They axe never signed by artist or engraver, but have their names engraved on the right and left-hand corners of the plate re spectively in small letters. They also have the publisher’s mark and address on the bottom. “India prints” are the most desirable after the artist’s proofs and proofs be fore letters. They have the title en graved upon them, as well as the artist’s and engraver’s names and the publisher’s marks. The edition is not limited in number. Their superiority to ordinary prints is due to the better quality of the impression produced by the India paper, while they lack the choiceness and conse quent rarity of the preceding grades. “Plain prints” aro impressions on linen paper. They have all the marks and letters of India prints, and arc printed with equal care. The paper, however, renders them of less value than tho India impressions, because the quality of tho latter paper enhances the beauty while it increases tlio cost of the proof. Suoir Balls.

APRIL ‘2. 188tj.-EIGHT PAGES. CHASED BY DOGS. HOW ESCAPED CONVICTS ARE PURSUED IN THE SOUTH. Remarkable Keenness of Scent— Dia • ingnisliing One Man Among a Handml—Taught to Hay Bui Not nt Attack. While at Oldtowu I saw a race between a convict and the hounds. A gaunt con vict. long ot leg aud flank, was -elected for the run. He was told to put off quickly, circle in the woods, take a swift run over fields, roads and through every squa<l of convicts he could find iu his way. This he did. The hounds were then loafing about the stockade yard, as listless a lot of dogs as ever were seen. " I’m tempted,” said Mr. Williams, “to let the convict tide a horse for a mile or two after he has run awhile. I have had dogs trail a convict on horseback four miles, and then take the track where he i jumped from the horse.” By this time the flying convict was a small speck on the broad fields, aud in a moment more had melted into the horizon and was gone, as if, indeed, he had found that liberty for which his soul panted, and had gone as the strong winged birds go when they vanish in the blue ether. Iu an hour we mounted our horses. The hounds were still loafing about in the sunshine. Suddenly Mr. Williams, squaring himself in his saddle, blew three quick, short blasts on the cow’s horn that liiing at its side. As if by magic, the hounds aw oke and charged at his saddle—eager, baying, frantic. “ Nigger !” he said sent entiously. Like the wind they were off. nose to the ground, tails up, circling like beagles. Larger the circles grow-, the hounds si lent as specters, eyes and nose eating the earth for its secret. “They wiU pass over the tracks of convict squads, but will open on the first single track they find. If it is the wrong track, we will simply sit still. They w ill rail it a hun dred yards or so, and, noting our silence, will throw it off again. When they get the right track, we will halloo and start after the hound that has it. The others will join him and the race is opened.” At last a red hound, careering liko mad across the field, halts suddenly, tumbles over himself, faces about, noses the ground eagerly, lifts his head, “A aoo own” and is off like an ar row from a bowstring. “That’s the track,” shouts Williams, and after the howling hound we go. The other dogs join in pell mell at first, then each hound true to the track, iu full cry and at a rat tling gait. Away off to the left Captain James calls attention to a moving speck against the sky. ‘ ‘That is the convict circling back to camp,” he said. On the dogs went, keen as the wind, inexorable as fate, following the track of the con vict as true as his own shadow. Across the tracks of hundreds of others along high roads, ovar fields, through herds of cattle, by other convicts that smiled grimly as they passed, the hounds went, holding the track of the flying convict where it had been laid as light as thistle on the firm earth, but where it left the tell tale scent all the same. Nothing could shake them off—nothing check their furious rash. Over other tracks made by convicts wearing shoes from the same last and same box they went without hindrance, led by some intangible mira cle of the air. straight on a single trail. “Now we’ll see them wind his scent fifty yards away,” said Williams, as he neared a patch of forest. Close to this was a squad of convicts. These we had sent through the woods au hour before. We had made “trustees,” walking singly, touch every bush and tree. Then the con vict we were trailing was run through, making a half circle, with at least fifty yards’ radius. The hounds entered the forest at a hustling pace, a small red dog leading. Suddenly the leader faltered for an instant, with nose iu air, then burst with fierce cry to the left, ran ob liquely for full fifty yards, with head up, when he took up again the track of the convict, and lowered his head to the ground. He had simply made a short cut across the semicircle, having caught scent of the convict on the bushes more than 100 feet away. I am aware that this is incredible to those who have never seen it. I cannot explain what it is that the flying man, clad and shod as a hun dred others, fed on the same food,chained daily to the same chain, and sleeping in the same bunks at night, imparts to a yielding twig touched by his clothes so that it attracts a hound fifty yards away. But it certainly does just that. The last test was now coming. We were moving toward a squad of convicts at work in a cotton field. We had scut the fugitive convict through this squad. We had then made them walk in a double circle around him. They then crossed and reerossed his tracks, many of them wearing exactly such shoes as he wore. One hour later the hounds struck this point. There was not an instant’s pause. There was no deviation, no let up in the pace. Through the labyrinth of tracks the hounds went, as swallows through the air, hurrying inexorably on the one track they had chosen. The qnd was now near. The convict, having run his race, was seen leaning against a tree and watching the hounds plunging toward him. “Won’t he climb the tree?” I asked. “No, the hounds are trained to simply bay the convicts when they come up with them. Other wise the convicts would “kill them. By this time the hounds had sighted him. They halted about twenty yards away from the tree against which he stood and bayed him furiously. Pretty music they made and not deeper than I heard often and again under a ’possum tree. Mr. Williams called them off and the convict came forward. “Dem pup pies is doin’ mighty well,Cap’n,” he said, grinning, and as he lazily swuug by on his way to the stockade. These dogs are not bloodhounds. I doubt if there is a bloodhound in Geor gia, though two arc reported near Car tersville, descended from a pair owned by Colonel Jeff Johnson in the days of slavery. The Oldtown dogs are fox hounds of the Redbone breed, trained for several generations to hunt men. They are never tempted with other game. They arc neither fierce nor powerful, and are relied on solely to trail the convict and lead his pusuers to his lair.— Atlanta Constitution. . A Sad-Eyed Man’s Effusion. * A sad-cyed young man handed this one in over the back fence the other morning: As life is full of woes and woes And death is not much better, I’d marry a girl with a million, straight— If her dad would only let her. -Merchant-Traveler.

J)A(TS FOR THE CTRIOUB. The farming slaves among the Romans worked with fetters on the. feet. Georgia has anew wonder, a piece of marble, the veins of which form the. )wr fect outline of a woman’s figure. An old man of New Y’ork makes a liv ing l>y selling, on Broadway, at three to five cents each, peach stones which he has carved into various fantastic shapes. Two races of men are dying out, the Laplanders, who number 30,000, and the Maoris of New Zealand, reduced from 100,00(1 to 45,000 since the days of Gap tain Conk, aud likely to be extinct by tin year 2000. The childish s|iort now . called blind man’s buff was known by various names iu old times, such as hood-wink, blind hob, etc. It was termed hoodman blind, because the players were once blinded with their hoods. “He is a poor cook who cannot lick his own fingers.” Under a variety of forms this proverb is found in different countries! The Italians say: “He who manages other people’s wealth does not go supiterless to bed.” The Dutch, too, say: “All officers arc greasy,” that is, something sticks to them. The market place, the agora, was in ancient Greek cities commonly of an ir regular form; when possible it was sur rounded by colonnade®. In more recent settlements care was taken to provide a rectangular space for the purpose, in which double porticos of considerable ex tent were built for shelter in bad weather. The art of sculpture in wood seems to have been native among the early Greeks, carved idols soon appearing as sub stitutes for those stones and tranks of trees which were at first worshiped as divine symbols. These were frequently so old that no account could be given of their origin, and they were consequently said to have fallen from the skies. At Araericus, Ga., a large red-tailed hawk suddenly pounced on the farm house cat, which was enjoying a nap on the sunny side of the barn. The hawk stuck his talons deep aud ascended with his prey. When they came to earth again, both were dead. The entrails of the eat were torn out, and the hawk’s head was bitten through. The hawk measured fodr feet nine inches from tip to tip of wings. Iu the library connected with the State department at Washington is the original copy of the constitution of the United States. Another unique paper is the oath of allegiance taken at Valley Forge. It is signed by George Washing ton. Benedict Arnold, IJeKalb, Steuben, Lafayette aud every soldier in the army. There, too, is the pathetic letter from Andre to Washington, begging that he might be allowed to die the death of a !>ldier, not a spy. The fashion of introducing a bowl of wine into church at a wedding, to be drank by the bride and bridegroom and those present immediately after the mar riage ceremony, is very ancient. It is mentioned in the ordinances of the house hold of Henry VII. of England, and was practiced at the magnificent marriage of Alary of England, and Philip of Spain, in Winchester cathedral, and also at the marriage of the Elector Palatiue to the daughter of the first English king of tho Stuart family. Criminal* and Their Home*. “Every once in a white = ‘people read in the papers how some mem who lias just done a job lias skipped, leaving no trace behind him,” said a Central Office detec tive to a Herald reporter yesterday. “The first thing they do is to blame the detec tive. Then, a year or two perhaps after ward, they hear that the man has been caught. Then they praise the detectives for skill and perseverance as much as they blamed them before. They were wrong to blame the detectives in the first place, and I’m not sure that they were right iu praising them so highly afterward. In ordinary circumstances any criminal is sure to be caught. “You say there are many crimes never unraveled. That’s so. But in most of them the police get to know who did tho job as well as they know who stole Broad way, but they can’t get the evidence, and so they lie low' and wait. In a few exceptional cases it’s best not to punish Anybody. “If a man runs away the police can pinch him nine times out of ten just by watching his home. Shakespeare never said a truer thing thau when he said, ‘There’s no place like home.’ It was Shakespeare, wasn’t it? Well, every man, no matter how bad he is, has a home of some kind that he is going te visit, although he know r s that the visit may land him in State prison for twenty years, and as soon as he thinks the coast is clear he’s going to that home. All the police have to do is to find out that home, watch it and nab their man when he shows up. “There’s that man who shot the negro janitor. He got west and was doing well and nobody knew wdiere he was. But he had to come back to New York to see his friends. There’s Jimmy Riley. He broke seven of the strongest jails in the country—Sing Sing was the last of them. What did he do when he got out of Sing Sing? He went straight to Tenth avenue, where everybody knew him. Now he’s back to Sing Sing. Talk to Captain Washburn about Hell’s Kitchen and other places at the foot of West Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets in. his precinct. He’ll tell you that whenever he wants one of the crooks who hang out there he has only to go there to get him. They never try to hide in any other part of the city. I)o you remember that burg lar who killed a policeman way back in ihe sixties, when he was caught breaking into an arms store in Broadway? Well, he thought it safe to come back to New York after nearly twenty years, and the first tiling he knew he was on trial for his life. He would have come back sooner, too, if he hadn't been prevented by being Locked up in different prisons out West.— New York Herald. The Man Caught the Dog. I have great respect for the Georgia bloodhound; even though he is not a bloodhound. I saw lately some exam ples of his skill in trailing men that were marvelous. But the Georgia bloodhound received a black eye in the matter of To bie Jackson. This alleged dynamiter was tracked through about thirty miles of mountain and ravine by a two-thon sand-dollar bloodhound. The sluggish but persistent beast hung on the vanish ing track through storm and darkness, relentless as death itself. This was very heroic. But mark the sequel. One af ternoon when the chase had flagged the pursuers of the redoubtable Jackson saw, silhouetted against the summit on an in accessible mountain ]>cak, a haughty man with a ro[>e on his arm followed by averj meek dog with a rope around bis neck, stalking across the red sky to a quiet re treat. Tho man was Juckson—the dog was the two-thousand dollar bloodhound —■Atlanta Constitution. Carious Facts About Flowers. Within the antarctic circle there has never a flowering plant been found. Id the arctic region there are seven hundred and sixty-two kinds of flowers : fiftv ol these are confined to the arctic region. They are really polar flowers. The colors of these polar flowers are not as bright and varied as are onr own, moat of them being white or yellow, as if borrowing these hardy hne from their snowy bergs and golden stars. Perhaps the most beautiful of all our everlasting, that longest defy the autumn frosts and most brighten oui winter bouquets, are white and yellow varieties. The rose of Florida, the most lieautiful of flowers, has no perfume. The cypress of Greece, the finest of trees, bears no fruit, the bird of paradise, the most beautiful of birds, gives no song ; aad some of the loveliest of human forms have the least soul. The Dorosidae family of flowers, Ruskin tells us, including the five great orders—lilies, asphodels, am&rvlids, irids, and rushea—have more varied and beautiful influence on man than any other tribe oi flowers. Nature seems to have made flowers as types of character and emblems of women. So we name our children after them, and always in tuitively compare a lovely, beautiful child to a flower; we say the timid snow drop, the modest violet, the languid primrose, the coy lily, the flaunting marigold, the lowly, blushing daisy, the proud foxglove, the deadly nightshade, sleepy poppy, and the sweet, solitary eglantine - these are all types. A divorce suit came before the tribu nal of Frankfort-on-the-Alain a few days ago, in which the parties craved for a dissolution of marriage od the ground of incompatibility of temper. The Judge decreed a temporary separation of the couple for two years, after which they are to recommence their married life; and if, after a few months’ experience, they find their reunion a failure, the court will be prepared to reconsider the decision.
