green spots in a big city. Where Poor PersonsGo to Get a Breath of Fresh Air. from the Xt’ic York Sun. ' “Say, boss! kin yer spare me a few pen nies fer me lodgiu’si'’ He sat on a park bench and mouthed the query as the man addressed walked along scanning the line of idlers. The beggar’s eyes—for he was a beggar—showed no change of expression as he took the price of two beers aud sidled off. The long lines of benches reaching in curves along the asphalt walks like the arms of a dismembered oc topus, were fairly tilled with hard featured men, weary looking men, unkempt women, children, and all that goes to make up the idle tide-drift of a great city. The favorite posture for men is to thrust the bauds into the trousers pockets and sit as far on the edge of the bench as possible, leaning back and stretching out the feet. Apparently some have the bottoms cut out of their pockets to bury their hands as far as they do. Those who object to having children trip up and fall on their legs will draw' up their feet, cross the legs and nurse one knee with both hands. A man sitting in the square rarely changes the position he settles into. The place just left by a man who has been sitting with bis feet out before him can be told readily, because lie has to spit lurtheroutoH the walk to clear his toes than the man must who is doubled up. The w'omen sit placidly sidewavs while the children race about, get tangled with every passer’s feet or lie in the grass and wave their unadorned legs in the air. Those who have to do with boardinghouses, hotels, and so on, look : if their clothes, before fading, must have come from such a factory as made the polychromatic ulster that made Joseph’s brothers jealous. Yellow-strapped canvas shoes, check pants, a blue jumper and last year’s pearl derby are to be seen beside an outfit of a battered sun helmet a Prince Albert, corduroy trousers, and a red undershirt. None of this seems incongru ous to the wearers, and sun and wear - soon make all attires look uniform. One hearty Irish truckman wearing a high white hat said his horse's nose hit a man at a street crossing, knocked his hat off. and as the owner would not pick up the soiled hat he jumped dow'n and got it. He grinned after saying this, and said: “Oi wuz thinkin' of last week wan of thim hot nights'. Oi live in Cherry street, sor, an’ this noight was that hot inside yez cud fry 1 fish on the palm of yer hand, I am shure, sor. Me babby was moanin’ with the hate, and I cud do nothin’ fur it but lave it to its mother and go out an’ lay in me truck afore tue door handy to call an’ more free like to slape. Whin Oi wuz aslape Oi dreamed the Liberty statoo come over to me a i*. tuk me by the neck, an’ had loike to break me back Oi woke up, an’, begorra, some lads had th’ rope off th’ winch onto Denny Sullivan’s truck as lays up next behint me, an’ the divils had me hitched onto it an’ hauled til half of me hung over me tailboard. But Oi ontied me self an’ put in rh’ tailboard, an’ hearin nothin’ in the house Oi slept agin till inorn in’. Me truck is broke now, an’ OiT not be doin anythin’ till me boss gets her repaired, to-moner, mc-bbo.” He resembled many others in being only temporarily out of work. Some are waiting for a strike to be settled, some have jobs promised in a day or so. Many discharged patients from the public hospitals spend a day or so getting air in the park before go ing to work again; others again are idle through a break down in their factories, and then there is always the man who is taking a day to himself. One German brewery laborer forced into idleness through a strike said; “Veil, I’m here because I hadt to quit. You see der vay it is, if youdond’tchoin the union deres no peace mit dem wat belongs, ant if you does belongt to fit den you has to do as dey say. Now, most probably the bosses will haf all greenhorns, strong young fellers, by der time anyting gets settled. I means to go by der country and vork by der cider bizness mit some farmer,” Sometimes discouragement makes a tramp of such a man, but not often. Your true tramp does not raise his feet to walk; he simply lets his body sway sideways and the natural oscillation lifts his feet for him. He often goes half fed because he might be put to w'ork to get food. Beer lees, stale ale, alcohol or anything with alcohol in it he takes to kindlier than park penguin to a mess of eels. The tramp proper is so dulled and dirty in spirit as to be no more a man. He will carry vermin past any washing facilities in Christendom. His clothing, like an office carpet, never wears quite out, and seemingly he cares less than a wood chuck for the future. Tramp steamships and sea-going vessels discharging their crows send their quota of men to wear out the park benches. When a sailor is discharged he is usually nearly penniless because of the advance wages sys tem in vogue in mariue employment. The pbilanthopist in his affairs is the profes sional sailor boarding-house keeper, who takes Jack to board and lets him roam about town until a berth can be found for him for a voyage. Then Jack’s keeper col lects his advance pay from the ship, pays himself, gives the sailor the doubtful bal ance and lets him sail. More unsettled still, if possible, are the lives of shoals of men around town, who spring up seemingly like magic, but morn likely from park benches, to sell notions on procession days, who work at touting, at cheap restauruuts waiting, then jierhaps at a job of moving furniture, or perchance take to whooping up a concert show. One loquacious chap was a sort of “Fourt” ward bartender, “trowed out wid oat a character.” He|furthor volunteered: “Dese fellers wot lives on dese odd jobs gits deni by bangin’ round any place where <ley tinks dare is biz. An’ dev hangs till dey gits a job or gits bounced. If dey gits bounced dey doesn’t care fer de bouncin aud tries agin someweres. We has to have a character writ by de last boss wuked fer, er else dey all tint we ain’t straight.” Regular journeymen at trades, if good, soon make acquaintance with enough fore men in their lino to be always with one of them. Some women who run mechanics’ boarding houses have regular communica tion with employers and get work for their lodgers; particularly is this the ease with foreigners. The trades unions come in ope ration with men after they are collected at work in a body y. have little connection with individuals of work. Apprenticeship.) of all kinds are hal'd to get; then only by personal favor of some one in power to help a boy. The tirade unions liar many apprenticeships, and many employers prefer to employ foreigners and retain them rather than train native youths. All the best help in any line is composed of •>eople who have acquaintances among bosses, who' employ no agents, but apply direct in person for work whenever they happen to be out. The unskilled worthy laborer is out of place iu the city. He can earn so little that comfort is impossible. Of independence he has none. Some employ ers will take the next man waiting if a laborer is a little, by chance, late In the morning. the WILL OF THOMAS PAINE. An Interesting Document In the Office of the Surrogate of New York. From Harper'* Weekly. Tom Paine wan 73 years old when he *roto his will. It is dated Jun. 18, 1809, and he died June Bof that year. It is a re markable document, and reads for the most part as follows: “The last Will nul Testament of me, the 'TUbscribcr, Thomas Paine, Reposing eonfl denoe in my Creator, God, aud no other neing, for I know of no other, nor relieve in any other, I.

In trust as to the said shares, movables and money for Margaret Brazeil Bonneville, wife of Nicholas Bonneville, of Paris, for her own solo and separate use and at her own disposal, notwithstanding her coverture. As to my farm in New Rochelle, I give, de vise, and bequeath the same to my said executors, Walter Morton and Thomas Ad dis Emmet, and to the survivor of them, his heirs anil assigns forever. In trust, nevertheless, to sell and dispose of the north side thereof, now in the occupation of An drew A. Dean.

My father belonged to that profession, and I was partly brought up in it. But if it is not consistent with their rules to do this, I desire to be buried on my farm at New Rochelle. The place where I am to be buried to be a square of twelve feet, to be inclosed with rows of trees and a stone or post-and rail fence, with a head-stone with my name and age en graved upon it: of ‘Common Sense.’ Placing confidence in my executors and their friendship, I herewith take my final leave of them aud of the world. - I have lived an honest and useful life to mankind, and my time has been spent in doing good, and I die in perfect composure and resigna tion to the will of my Creator, God. Dated this 18th day of January, 1809. "Thomas Paine.” THE ORIGIN OF RICE THROWING. It Began at the Wedding of Chao and Peachblossom In China. From the Chinese Times. In the days of the Shang dynasty, some 1,500 years before Christ, there lived in the province of Shansi a most famous sorcerer called Chao. It happened one day that a Mr. P'ang came to consult the oracle, and ChaOj having divined by means of the tortoise diagram, Informed the trembling P’ang that he had but six days to live; Now, however much we may trust th® sagacity and skill of our family physician, we may be excused if, in a matter of lift and death, we call in a second doctor for a consultation, and in such a strait it is not to be wondered at that P’ang should repair to another source to make sure that there was no mistake. To the fair Peachblossom he went, a young lady who had acqnired some reputation as a sorceress, and to the tender feminine heart unfolded the story of his woe. Her divination yielded the same re sult as Chao’s; in six days P’ang should die, unless, by the exercise of her magical pow ers, she could avert the catastrophe. Her efforts were successful, and on the seventh day great was Chao’s astonishment and still greater his mortification and rage when he met P’ang taking his evening stroll and learned that there lived a greater magician than he. The story would soon get about, and unless he could put an end to his fair rival’s exist ence his reputation would be rained. And this is how Chao plotted against the life of Peachblossom. He sent a go-between to Peachblossom’s parents to inquire if their daughter was still unmarried, and, receiving a reply in the affirmative, he befooled the simple parents into believ ing that he had a son who was seek ing a wife, and ultimately he induced them to engage Peachblossom to him in mar riage. The marriage cards were duly inter changed ; but the crafty Chao had chosen the most unlucky day ho could select for the wedding, the day when the “Golden Pheasant” was in the ascendant. Surely as the bride entered the red chair the spirit bird would destroy her with his powerful 1 >eak. But the wise Peachblossom knew all these things and feared noB “I will go.” she said, “I will fight alia defeat him.” When tha wedding morning came she gave directions to have rice thrown out at the door, which the spirit bird seeing made haste to devour, and while his attention was thus Occupied Peachblossom step|>o I into the bridal chair and passed on her way unharmed. And now the ingenuous reader knows why he throws rice after the bride. A Duel Between Two Plants. From the Journal of Education. Some time ago my pupils were much in terested in finding w hat they not inappro priately termed a hand-to-hand conflict between a sumach (Rhustyphina) anil u climbing bitter sweet (CeUwtitu teandens), Judging from apiiearanees when found, the sumach was about two inches in diameter when the bitter sweet first wound its coils about it. As the growth of each proceeded, these coils became tighter and tighter, cut ting into and through the bark and growing layer of the sumach until It seemed to Is; threatened with strangulation. It was not, however, to be so easily vanquished. It resolutely kept up its manufacture of new material, which, owing to the tight embrace of tho vine, had to be distributed along a spiral line immediately above tho coils. Just below the coils tho supply appeared to be cut oiT, as the trunk was then shrivelled, and in most places dead. Although rendered unsightly, tho tree present'd the curious features of having two spirals, one of living, growing, the other of dead and decaving material wound about its heart wood, so that tho whole resembled a huge auger. To avenge this deformity, the sumach proceeded to push its new growth out above and over tne coils of the vine until at oneplaoe it had completely encom passed it. The vine, in turn, was now so tightly squeezed as to be cut off from com munication with the ground, and below this point but little life remained. Victory now seemed within tho grasp of the sumach. The vine, however, in its last extremity now united itself with the growing layer of the sumach, and thus literally drew from the camp of tho enemy whatever supplies wore ueedis! to keep it top bright aud thrifty. At this stag*; the conflict was cut short by the ax of the collector, and the combatants, locked in each other’* arms, were laid away among the curioaitle* of a museum. Young or middle-aged men, suffering from nervous debility or kindred affection*, should address witli M)c. ill stanijia for large treatise. World' Dispensary Medical Anno elation, Oud Main struct, Buffalo, N. Y. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1887. THE POLICE MATRON’S STORY. She Tells of the Night She Spent with a Horrible Terror. The Boston Globe published an interest ing letter from a police matron the other day, and the Boston Transcript the same afternoon vouched for the truth of the story told. It is as follows: Before my recent appointment to the position of police matron in a suburb of Boston I had heal’d much of what terrors some of the arrested women were, and how it would be impossible for any woman to manage them. Some hml expressed the opinion that I should get whipped, and in view of mv slender build others had con temptuously asked me what I expected to do it I should have a 200-pound woman to take care 01. I replied that I should do the s:nue as if she weighed 100 pounds. However, in want of any previous expe rience with this class of women aud various conflicting notions as to my fitness of the place, I waited my first case with some anxiety. At last it came in the person of a large, stout Irish woman, weighing fully 200 pounds, sufficiently drunk to be noisy and quarrelsome and spoiling for a fight. The officer's attention was tii-st attracted to her by her noisy demonstrations and the crowd which she had drawn about her. When she saw him approaching she pulled her hat from her head, and waving it at him, dared him to come on. He took her by the arm and tried to quiet her and make her go home. This she stoutly refused to do, and determined to fight then and there. As it was Sunday and a large crowd gath ering, and her noise and abuse increasing, he attempted ner arrest. She immediately threw herself uiion the ground, and ho was obliged to call upon the citizens to help him. Another officer came along, and between them all they conveyed her to the station, she making desperate resistance at every step. I was sent for at once, and as soon as I opened the outer door I could hear the noise. Guided by this I reached the cell, and found her glaring at the officer, who was vainly trying to still the disturbance. Stepping quietly up to her I said. “Well, Mary what is it?” She stopped at once and looked puzzled. Before she had time to reply the officer re quested me to ascertain her name. Turning to her, I said: “Your name is Mary, isn’t it?" “Yes, m’am,” she said, “it is; it’s Marv.” “Mary what!” I asked. Having received her reply, I told the officer that his services would not be needed as long as I was there. Upon bis departure I told her not to be afraid, that I had come to be with her, and that no one should hurt or trouble her. Go ing up to her I stroked her hair and patted her face, soothing her excitement ns though she were a little child, and asked her to tell me all the story. Of course she had done nothing, but had been arrested just as she had stepped off a horse car and had been thrown down and dragged to the station. During her recital she was very quiet, but wept freely and bemoaned bitterly her mis fortune. 1 sympathized with her, anil as 1 turned to take off my outside things a look of distress came over her face. “Oh, ma’am, you ain’t a going to leave me ?” she said. “No, Mary,” I answered, “if you’ll be quiet I’ll stay with you /ill the time after I have taken off my bonnet.” “If you’ll only stay with me, ma'am, I’ll never make a bit of noise. I'll bo just as quiet as you want me to be.” "All right,” I replied, “I’ll be back soon.” As I passed into the guard room the offi cer remarked that it was surprising how quickly she stopped her noise when I spoke to. her. f sdid'that I would guarantee that there would be no more disturbance from her. When I returned she wanted to know if I would stay all night. Upon my assuring her that I would, she looked grateful, took my hand and allowed me to search her. Finding that she was still heated and ex cited, I procured cold water, bathed her head very freely, and she was soon able to tell a coherent story. I left her after awhile to herself, with an occasional visit, and in a few hours had the pleasure of seeing her compose herself to sleep. She roused once during the night and asked for a drink and a fan, apologizing for troubling me, went to sleep and slept quietly till morning. When the officer came, in the morning, be fore she was taken to court, she stoutly de nied having been drunk. Seeing that there was a likelihood of another disturbance, I told him I would see to it that she answered to the charge. He left her, and turning to her I said: “Mary, you were drank, and you must tell the Judge so.” “If you sav so, ma’am, I will.” And she did. I gave her wise counsel, promised to let her Family know where she was, and shook hands with her. She bade me an affectionate farewell, and I left her a happier, if not a better woman. And this was my night with a “terror.” The Largest Opium Den in China. From the North China Herald. The Nan-giu-tsin is the greatest opium den in China. It is situated in the French concession in Shanghai, within a stone’s throw of the wall of the native city, within which no opium shops are supposed to exist. The throngs visiting it represent all stations of life, from the coolie to the wealthy mer chant or the small mandarin. It is with difficulty that one gets inside through the crowds of people hanging round the door. Those who have not the requisite number of copper cash to procure the baneful pipe waten with horrible wistfulness each of the more affluent pass in with a nervous, hurried step, or totter out wearing that peculiar dazed expression which cornea after the smoker’s craving Ims been satisfied and his transient pleasure has passed away. One requires a strong stomach to stand the sickening fumes with which the air inside is thickened. The clouds of smoke, the dim light from the numerous colored lamjis, the number of reclining forms with distorted faces bent ovor the small flumes at which the pipes are lighted, cause the novice a sickening sensation. But as soon as the eye becomes accus tomed to tbs scone it ls noticed that the place is got up on an expensive scale In the centre of the lower room hangs one of the finest of Chinese lamps, the ceiling is of richly carved wood, while the painted walls are thickly inlaiij with a peculiarly marked marble, which gives the idea of unfinished landscape sketches. Numerous doors on all sides lead to tho smokers’ apartments. In tho outer portion of the building stands a counter covered with little boxes of the drug ready for smoking, which a dozen assistants are kept busy bunding out to the servants who wait upon the habitues of the place. The average daily receipts are raid to be about £3OO. The smoking apartments are divided into four classes. In the cheajw'st are coolies, who pay about fourpence for their smoke. In the dearest the smoke costs about sevenpence. The drug supplied in oacli class is much the same both in quality and quantity; it is tho difference in tho pipes that regulates the price. The best Kinds are made of ivory, the stem being often inlaid with stones and rendered inoro costly by reason of elaborate carving; the cheariest” kinds are made simply of hard wood. The rooms also are furnished according to class. In the most expensive tho lounge upon which the smoker reclines is of fine velvet, with pillows of the fame material; the frames of each couch arc. inlaid with mother-of-poarl and jade, and tho whole air of these rooms is one of sensuous luxury. There is also a number of private rooms. In the poorer section may be seen many wearers of the tattered yellow and gray robes of Buddhist aud Tavist priests. Women form a fair proportion of the snickers. Tho common belief i< that the opium sleep is attended,by a mild, pleuMir ablo delirium, with brief glances of Ely sium; but this is tiie exi-e(itimi, not the rule. People smoke tosatify the craving begotten of previous ittdu Igenoea. There is aeeorn mi station for I.V) smoker* at a time, and there is seldom a vacancy very long. The stream of smoker* am on from early morn ing till midnight, v. lnai the place cioaen; the cloud* of smoke go up Uiceswnntly all day long. MILLINERY.

It is astonishing but a fact, that we sell fine Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York. How can we do it? Cannot tell. This is our secret and our suc cess.

We are now ready for business, and our previous large stock will bie increased, and we are now offering full lines of line Milans in White and Colors, for Ladies, Misses and Children in an endless variety of shapes RIBBONS, RIBBONS, new novelties added and our regu lar full line entirely tilled out.
