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, bid yet, this sort of snobbishness takes u» New York, for the firm is the most •Uccessful one of its line.

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.
