A prayer ai.d experience meeting was going on. “This interior. ” whispered the private lecturer of the “shimmers” to his compan ions. “remains quite the same that it was when the Crcmorne mi.-siou was tlr* ( re- morne garden.

We’d like to do you good, but we indst on quiet. ” This emphatic reproof came from a- usher. The awful tru:h was clear to the most unsophisticated girl in the party, lie mistook iliem for vicious persons in stead of polite observers of vice. He had not lieeome awa:e of the threatened fash- ioanlileness of “slumming.” The; Some of the employes of the (lovernment Printing Office in Washington arc in a box. The Star says: “A man who was an employe at the office came running in one day just before the eleeliun anil said : ‘1 have got a bet of $200 that Ohio will go Democratic.’ It was an even bet, and ns the em ployes were all sure that the Re publicans would win, seemed to offer a bigger return on a short- time investment than the oil mar ket ever offered in its palmiest days. The trouble was that the man who wns offered the wager did not have the capital to cover it. He proposed that those who want ed a sure thing should get up a pool of $200 and place it in Itis hands. This was done, various enthusiasts contributing sums ranging from $10 to $25 until the $200 was made up. The election is over, but the man who had the ‘good thing’ cannot lie found. The employes, who beliovc they Imvc been victimized, have heard to ports Ilia", the same party collected nearly $1,000 from different peo plo on the same alluring represen tations. One of the Government Printing Office employes gave a cheek instead of cash for his con tribution, and when lie became suspicions stopped llio payment of tbo obeck. chilled They ; aruo lor of The St. Louis U‘publican seems to fully appreciate the situation, in the following: “The defeat of the republican party \nd the election of Cleveland will break the color line, improve the condition of trade in tbe south, and insure northern cities an increased busin ess from that section. When this much desired change comes the negroes will work belter and no longer listen to the evil advisers who iucite them to violence and riot for political elTect in the north.” The Democrats are gradually growing bolder in their belting. At the iloflman House, Nea York, tired somewhat tb'-ir amusement. It was a trap for the unwnrv sinner that Jerry -VcAuley set there in Thirty-second street. The premise,s had been one of the most notorious of New York's winc-nnd women resorts. By leaving the fn.ntage substantially unaltered, many a fucrlled roisterer was led into a religious meeting unawares to fln«! tb it the loud voice wns not that of a brawler but an exhorter, and that the music was not of ribald wings but holy hymns. Jerry once told me that numerous conversions resulted fiom these mistakes, and he held a theory that a mild degree of intoxication was a help rather than a h'ndranee iu such eases. 1 localise the exhilarations of alcohol rendered the tMTceptions acute and the heart susceptible to good influence. Wns he sincere? I think so. It is true that while he was vile he remained imp iverished. and that after becoming a city missionary lie was sus tu'ncd in comfort by the contributions of he gii eerily. cn’ovcd the con’’deuce of the city editors of the newspapers, and they are pretty shrewed iu discriminating between the reputation mid the character of New York’s public men. But that he made any appreciable impression on the class for whom he lalmrcd Is improbable.
