A TALENTED J3TREET MINSTREL Who Ought to Have the World at his Feet. New York .Tune 4.—A few days ago, calling on a friend in West Thirty-fourth street, a well-known and eminent artist, I had a great musical treat that took me com pletely by surprise. Mr. Gedney. that ex quisite pianist, had been entertaining us with one of Schunian’s dreamy fantaisis; Harry Hilliard, the handsome young tenor, was standing by the piano, hat in hand, about starting for his nighly visit to Phar oah and his court, when one of the grandest voices I have ever heard, a high baritone, sweet, powerful and sympathetic, rang forth, ilfli ngand overflowing the tranquil eventide with a wonderful stream of har mony. We hurried to the front stoop and saw the singer on the opposite side of the way, with a crowd of young arabs at his heels, and an organ on which he was play ing his accompaniment: neither more nor leS, to all appearance, than a common strol ling vagabond. “Kismet," I exclaimed, “some people are born to miss their destiny, and this man must be a case in point. He is a great ar tist and ought to have the world at his feet.” . Mr. Hillard listened for some time with out a word, absorbed in silent admiration. “That is a voice, indeed, he said at last with a deep drawn sigh, “and what grand style 1 What breadth and freedom! The fellow must be an Italian; anyhow, he had studied in Italy; he has the pure Italian method.” •Song succeeded song in rapid succession, each better than the last. We were in ec stasies. Finally, out of consideration for his own public, Mr. Hilliard had to tear him self away regretfully; and soon after a pleas ant, intelligent-looking woman, presumably the artist’s wife, made the rounds and gathered in the spoils. I drew her aside and, feeling like an astronomer who has sighted a new star, made sure of his name and ad dress. Off they went, but we could talk of noth ing else for the balance of the evening. Who was this gifted vagabond* Where had he come from? With that voice why had he consented to remain hidden in oblivion 1 If unable to fight his own battles, how was it that he had not been brought forward by some admiring friend or enterprising specu lator? We were quite in the mind to or ganize some philantrophic scheme on his be half —the man with that voice must be looked after and put through in proper form. Un happily, another visitor dropped in just then who chilled our enthusiasm by declar that our unknown genius, whom he" seemed to know all about, was blind, wore goggles and was altogether rude and boorish; an ignorant vagabond on whom a splendid voice had been thrown away by mistake. He laughed at the idea of his treading the operatic stage. It was out of the question, simply because he was so unpresentable that 'no manager could be fonnd who would permit him to make an appear ance. This was all very discouraging, but, nevertheless, remeinDering the man’s voice and manner, I sallied forth the next day to find out the truth for myself, and succeeded without much trouble in hunting’him down in a little shop of musical instruments, kept by a maimed veteran, a fine old soldier whose face was a study—not at all an un suitable resort, it ooeurred tome, for a blind bard out of suits with fortune. “I have come,” I said, “to look for a man who goes about the streets singing. And you, I presume, are the man. This I added on catching an eye of au individual who was coming from behind the counter to meet me. “Yes, lam the man 1” he answered, with a merry laugh, in capital English, tapping, I as if to prove his indenity, the hand organ I of his nightly excursions, now perched I ‘ jauntly upon the counter. I was delighted. I I believed in the fitness of things, and it had I really grieved and annoyed me to think of I that noble voice unworthily lodged in the I breast of a poverty-stricken vagrant. Our I singer on the contrary, is a splendid looking I man in the prime of life, tall and handsome, I with a fine figure and handsome face, benun- I mg with intelligence and good humor. This I man too unpresentable to treads the boards! I A picturesque costume would have trans- I formed him in a twinkling into an An- I donis. All my inquiries this Homeric bard an- I swered with the greatest candor, but I found I the utmost difficulty in showing him how I sadly he was wasting his great gift. He I told me that his income from street singing I was but $4 or $5 a flay, a meagre living. I Here I succeeded in making some impression ■ on him by my confident prediction that he I could multiply his fortune a hundredfold if ■ he could tread the boards. There was no influ ■ ential person to introduce him, he said. l as- I wed him that his voice would speak louder I than a dozen patrons and secure him instant ■ recognition. I left him with new ambitions I kindled In his simple heart, and, for myself I I determined to talk of him to such friends I as I have who can aid him. I certainly ex- I pect that anew star of the first magnitude I will shortly arise in the operatic firmament. George Percy. A NEW SPECULATIVE CRAZE. I It Extends not Only to Stocks But to Coffee, Wheat, Cotton, Etc. New York, June 4. —The feverish ■ speculation in coffee is exciting ■ general attention. The craze in coffee ■ thr- speculation in wheat and eoltou and the ■ real estate excitement in the South and ■ Southwest, not to mention the activity in ■ real property here, may be given as the ■ e ‘ l *ef reasons for the dullness in stocks. As ■to coffee, the wholesale price has nearly ■ trebled within a year, and it has doubled ■ dnee last fall. Seats in the stuffy little ■ toffee Exchange in Beaver street have ■ hsfn within a short time from SSOO to £BOO. ■ Muny of the importers and jobbers have ■ made large fortunes by the almost pheno- rise in the market, and some who crippled in former speculations are ■ now fully restored to financial strenth and ■ rigor. The price of Rio coffee is now obout ■ ' l-3e. a pound, incredible as it may sound, ■ mid still there is talk of pushing it still ■ mgher. The bulls have practically had the ■game in their own hands, and as grain, ■cotton, dry goods and Wall street people ■"out short on the seemingly natural sup ■posit.on that the price had gone high enough ■“'•‘.v found that Crossman & Cos. and Siejr- Gnmer & Cos. had stocked the cards ■f 11 * the market was thimblerigged until the shorts were glad to “cover.” One * s said to have made $“.000,000 on the m'J] 1 n'al; another firm of importers is sup * fo ' lave cleared a million. In former it has happened that a day passed a single transaction at the Coffee and when a sudden spurt of ac ‘ty carried the transactions up to 50,000 m a day excitement ran high." Latterly, m'evor. the sales in a single day have ex ■eeded 200,000 bags. The speculation is ■"•'ml on expectations of a short crop. The Hulls are trying to make the general public ■" "‘ ve the next crop in Brazil will he Boy imi;® n gainst something over .tii! hap, in the present season ending 1 • ]■ The men who advocate high ■ro'i'' tor H'e reason mentioned have always ■io- n .? w ri,ll °uli the idea of counting a ■.

His partner, Otto Ai-ens, ■••rUi ent of the Coffee Exchange, is a ■o',iven of physical manhood, tall ' the imperial Guard of Germany. “Hv down in Now Jersey, where lie has t-i. and where he indulges a culti- vated taste for horticulture. Crossman & Cos, have made $1,000,000 for clients in New York, London, Paris, Havre, Amster dam and Rio de Janeiro within the last six months. William H. Crossman, of this house, is about 60 years of age, and was formerly in the hardware trade, acting as the New York agent for Mark Hopkins, the California merchant and railroad magnate. He and his brother, George Crossman, a handsome man and a well-known member of the Union League, began to bull coffee last year when it was at 7 l-3c. whereas now it is about 20 l-2c. Another member is Hermann Sielcken, who came here some years ago from Hamburg and is beginning to be looked upon as a sort of Jay Gould on a smaller scale. He has really had the post of a commander in the bull campaign. He has been to Europe several times within a year to manipulate the markets there, and as he is expert in manipulation, this thoughtful, dark-complexioned man of 35, with expres sive, big black eyes, pulls the wires which control the fluctuations of prices in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Havre, Paris, Lon don, Amsterdam and Antwerp. Some of the New York firms who at first opposed the bull deal he rapped so severely over the knuckles that they were glad to fall into the bull ranks. He has fought the Arbuekle Brothers the millionaires who have a monopoly of coffee roasting here and who are apt to set themselves against any bull movement. Sielcken hung around Front street in this city for several years without showing any special aptitude for speculation, but as Napoleon had his Toulon to show the military genius that was in him, so this natural leader in speculation has latterly come to the front to worst strong old houses as Napoleon did old powers, ana he is recognized as anew speculative ehiettain in anew field of venture. Thomas Minford, of the old firm of Skiddy, Minford & Cos., and who looks like a priest, is another suc cessful bull, and still another is John Scott, a relative of Gen. Sherman. Most of onr coffee supply comes from Brazil, and as salvery in that county is being gradually abolished and as the effect of free labor is to increase crops, not to mention the stimulus of high prices, it need excite no surprise if the next Brazil yield of coffee should be much larger than the bulls now seem to ex pect. Oscar Willoughby Riggs. WOMEN ON A STAGE COACH. Something That’s Quite the Rage— Everybody Tries It. New York, June 4. —We were walking up Fifth avenue in the edge of the evening, when suddenly my friend, who is a disciple of forms and fashions, gave a perceptible start and exclaimed: “Good gracious! What next?” He tilted up his classic pose and raised his hands ala Delsarte in a way tliat spoke vol umes. I followed the direction of his eyes and saw nothing but an ordinary Fifth av enue stage—one of those that run from Union square up to the park: “Did you see them?” he gasped. “No; whom, where?” “Why the young ladies sitting on the top of the stage that just passed.” “On top of the stage, how jolly! Let’s try it,” I exclaimed. It took some coaxing, but at length curi osity got the better of his regard for good form, and with unusual generosity he de cided to sacrifice comfort rather than allow a young lady to ride op a stage alone. The ancient moon was in retirement, but the moons of modern invention threw forth unusual splendor. “Step on the wheel, miss, an’ give me yer hand, I’ll pull you up,” was the driver’s sensible advice on the rules of mounting. The top of a stage is some distance from mother earth, and modem dress skirts were never meant to climb poles in; much less scale the side of a stage coach, but when a woman sees anything new there is no use. to say “Boo;” she won’t scare off. So the foot on the wheel, a tight clasp of the hand, a suppressed scream and we sank breathless on to the high seat by this driver, with the sleeve busted out of our new spring wrap and the front trimming tom off of our dress, but what did that count with the friend on one side and, well, the driver on the other and many feet below the two ani mals? “Do many girls ride out on stages now, driver?” “Yes, miss,” he replied, with a smile. “We haven’t got room enough for all who want outside. Out at the station they will stand for hours to get their turn for the top “What stalled the style?” “I don’t know unless it was putting them up there when the inside was full. They got to like it, and soon the company will have to put all the seats on the top if they want to carry more than three passengers at a time." "Give me the reins, driver,” an audible groan from my friend. “I want to drive a stage up Fifth avenue.” The driver smiled, and, catching the lines, I soon drove the rumbling old coach out the avenue, stopping, whenever the driver said the strap attached to his foot had been pulled, to allow passengers to alight. It was over all too soon. With a great swerve we turned rise stage into the station. For some minutes we occupied our time profitably by studying the manner in which the fashiona ble young lady of the period who has the stage craze descends from her perch. Step ladders are placed against the side. Ihe young lady ariscs’and shakes down her skirts, then she tries to "go down, face first, but after a number of ineffectual attempts and the sweetest little frightened screams, the driver suggest that she go down back wards. “Ob! I really can’t do it—l’m sure 1 11 fall,” and the rest of the feminine exclama tions, she at last, consents and turns her hack. Once, twice, the neat boot is put down to the first step and as many tir-“s drawn up again, much to the amusement of the watching crowd. With a ftual note of despair she comes with a rush. A scream, a flash of skirts and hosiery, two tiny 1 mots, and the young lady is safe again on the pavement. You would think she would stay here afterward, and she does until the next stage, when she goes through the same performance—as usual to the enjoyment of the crowd. But nevertheless, it's quite the rage, vou know. Everybody tries it. Nellie Bly. Schools in Europe. The Paris Figaro gives some interesting statistics on schools in Europe, In Russia there are 32,000 schools, having each an average of 36 scholars. This is one school for 2,300 inhabitants, at a cost of less than a halfpenny a head of the population. In Austria, with 37,000,000 inhabitants, there are 29,000 schools and 3,000,000 scholars. The average number at each school is 104, and the cost per inhabitant 9 l-2d. In Italy for 28,000,000 inhabitants there are 47,000 schools, one school for every 600 people, at a cost of 8 1 2d. a head. The average number of pupils at the schools is 40. In Bpainthere are 3,000,000 scholars, 29,000 schools, giving an average of 50 in oach school, and one school for every 600 inhabitants, as in Italy. The school bill comes to Is. 2d. a head. The numlier of schools given for England is 58,000, which is one for every 600 inhabit ants. with an average attendance of 53 per school, and a cost of Is Od, per head. The Germans have a school for every 700 giving a total of 60,000 schools, with 100 pupils m each, and Is. 7d. per inhabitant. France has 71,000 schools, being one for every 500, with 60 in each school. France would, therefore, seem to have more schools than any other great European country. These schools cost the country Is. 3 l-2d. per in habitant. “The light that lie*. In woman's eyes,” Is a ray of heaven’s own brightness; but it is, alas! often dimmed or quenched by some wearing disease, perhaps silently borne, but taking all comfort and enjoyment out of life That light of the household can be re kindled and made to glow with its natural brightness.
