few days ago a friend of mine dropped*
u casually to order some shirts. The
foor was swung open by an obsequious
ttendant, who bowed and pointed to a
lerk who was leaning gracefully on the
n«l of a counter. The clerk stepped
orward, bent, and smiled.
I want some shirts,” said my friend.
Will you be kind enough to step
i way, sir/” and the clerk rubbed
hands together and walked softly
.m tlio store.
Ihe customer followed until they ar-
ved at the office in the rear. There
the clerk was met by a member of the
firm, who was introduced to the cus
tomer. The customer, rather aston
ished at so mnch ceremony, was asked
with great politeness to step up-stairs,
which he did. On the way the propri
etor asked him if he would exchange
cmls. This being accomplished, the
next floor was reached, and proved
to bo a ricldy-upholstered and heav
ily-carpeted parlor. The proprietor
touched oleotrin bell, and conversed
lily with his customer until the shirt-
maker appeared. He was measured
carefully, while the head of the firm
walked casually up and down the room,
if he had nothing whatever to do
lit the shop. Ho said nothing about
tin shirt, and seemed to treat the call
purely social. After ho had been
measured, the customer said: “You
way make me a samplo shirt first.”
“We never make less than half a
dozen shirts, sir, and our price is $50 a
de en.” said the shirt-maker laconically,
"i’ut I don’t care to pay $25 for a
half dozen shirts, and tnen find that
do not fit me; and I think it is an
extortionate price, anyway.”
“Our customers,” said the propriotor.
grandly, “uever suspect us of ill-fitting
them, and nover ask the price.”
“t don’t care whether they do or
not,” said my friend. “I want ono shirt
for a trial, and I will pay you $5 for it,
m-.l that is the end of the whole mat
ter. If you want to do it you may; if
urt, don’t troublo yourself. Tlioro are
plenty of shirt-makers in town who
.iiargo at least reasonable figures.”
The proprietor looked at him coldly,
twirled his eye-glasses in his fingers, and
slid: “Our customers, sir, arc not
grumblers.”
Thereupon my friend freod his mind,
•talked down-stairs, and out into the
dieot, while the flunkey opened the
Jojr and bowed to him respectfully,

JOAQUIN MILLER'S CABIN.
ITio Poet of the Sierras Settled in
Mia Sew Home.
fJYnshineton Correspondence. 1
Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sier
ras, has just got into his log cabin. I i
called upon him in it and found a tall, '
well-made, blue-eyed man of 45, with
long, tawny hair flowing out from under
uis slouch hat, with pantaloons tucked
into a pair of fine boots, and a good-
natured air of western wildness, which
well accorded with his pictures jug sur
roundings. He rece.ved mo cordially,
and kindly showed me over the cabin,
saying that for fifteen years ho had
been wandering about over the face of
the earth, and that ho was glad to feel
that he had at last a placo ho could
call his homo.
The eabin is on the heights at the
head of Sixteenth street, the great
streot of the Washington of the future.
As Waukoen says, “The presidents
house is at ono end of it and his hut is
at the other, but that while ho has a
cab n t:ie president has only a cabin-et.”
Sixteenth is a great wide street paved
witli asphalt and lined alternately with
$59,000 mansions and $50 negro huts.
The White House, almost bathed by
the Potomao and faced by Lafayette
park, is its starting point, and
half way up toward Mr. Miller’s
eabin is a green plat in which
a bronzo equestrian statuo of
tleu. Scott looks at tho executive man
sion; The street steadily rises, carry
ing with it old St, John s Episcopal
church, George H. Pendleton’s man
sion, negro laborers’ cabins, Senator
Cameron’s groat palace, and alike mix
ture, till it reaches the boundary of tho
town, where there is a jump upward in
the shape of a fifty-foot hill or plateau,
running back into* the country. On th.s
plateau Joaquin Miller has bought a
lot and put up one of tho prettiest of
log cabins.
The lot runs almost to the edge of
the hill and the view is certainly one of
the finest in tho United States. Mr.
Miller says he has never seen
unything to equal it, and that if
man can write poetry anywhere ho
ought to be able to writo it hore.
Stand in front of the largo yard of tho
cabin, under ono of the great oaks
which shade it, all Washington lies be
fore you surrounded by hills which
make it look as though tho nature
m ound was a mammoth coliseum of the
gods and the national capital the scene
going on in the arena below. The
great white, classic capitol is plainly
seen, the Potomac flows along tho edge
of the arena, and oft’ on neighboring
hills you can look into Alexandria ami
at the tombstones of Arlington.
Chicago’* Butterlne Production.
fCli { ca?o Times.]
Few imagine tho vast production to
which the manufacture of butterine or
bogus butter has grown in this city. A
witness, while testifying before a com
mittee in tho Now York senate in refer
ence to butter adulteration in that state,
incidentally stated that some thirty or
forty manufactories in Chicago were
engaged in producing bogus butter, aiul
his statement is perhaps not far astray.
The stato of New York bought and used
last year 40,000,900 pounds of but-
terino, and tho cities of Now York and
Brooklyn are credited with producing
but 0,000,000 pounds of that amount.
Chicago may safely father tho bulk of
tho remainder, as well as tho chiof sup
ply to other sections of tho ci untry.
Tho reason so much is produced hero
is because the supply of raxv material
is so abundant. Chicago can fiud at
her great pork-packing establishments
and abattoirs a superabundance of ma
terial lor butterino—cow and hog fat,
principally tho latter, for by odds the
most profitable dairy cow nowaduys is
a dead hog. Tho business possesses
two startling features. It has grown
to such vast proportions that it seems
likely to wreck tho dairy interests ol
the whole country, but particularly of
tho west. The second alarming
feature is a still weightier considera
tion—its sanitary phase. Tho raw
material from which butteriue is pro
duced must be, from tho cost to manu
facture, an average of 14 cents . por
pound, of tho cheaper grades of animal
fats. These aro reduced to a pulp,
heated somewhat, und then treated
with acids. Perhaps in most cases this
raw material would not bo genorally
regarded as wliolosom \ Tho beat sup
plied may not always be sufficient to
do>troy any animal or diseased germs.
