YONKE RS TO BE A DDED SOON
Idlers. Idler*. Idlers, and yet They
Idle, While Looking Anxiously for
Woik. Brilliant men go Down in
the Panic.
New York, July 4, 1894.—Those
who will be soon taking their an
nual trip to New York and North
ward. will see many changes dur
ing the last year. The whole city
t-eems to he attempting to move
ten blocks io the Northwaid, so
that Forty second Street, seems to
be, or is fast becoming the center
There art many uew and impor
tant buildings in the way of banks,
clubs and newspaper offices, tl e
two publishing houses of Apple
ton and Scribner, have moved from
Bond Street and Astor Place to
Fifth Avenue, between Twenty
fifth and Thirtieth Streets, and a
number of fine Hotels proclaims,
that despite the stringency of the
times, many people have the lei
sure and the money to travel ,
The most noticeable spot, which
was desolated for so many years,
is the entrai.ee to Central Park on
Fifth Avenue and Fifty-ninth
Street, where the Plaza Hotel had
undisputed sway. Now rivals in
the way of monster hotel—of thir
teen stories. —the New Netherlands
and the Savoy, have sprung into
existence.
New York is stretching its kng
arms to the Northward, and has
already embraced many of the
tuburl son the Hudson. Its last
greedy bite was Riverdale, which
■a n w under the Municipal Gov
ernment, and very soon we may
find that Yonkers has been includ
ed in the mother city.
As Yonkers is now a flourishing
manufacturing town, o-f 30,000 in
habitants, this will aid coasider
bly more than a drop into the
vast sea of humanity that hums
ceaselessly with the traffic, the
footsteps, and the voices of mil
lions.
This union of Yonkers and New
York will be more speedily accom
plished because of a new railroad
completed within the last few
years, and known as the “North
en,” which connects with the
elevated at 155th Street where one
changes cars without exposure or
delay on a long platform, and tak
ing the Harlem Express, for which
the tracks of the elevated are
cleared, and goes whizzing around
the immense and justly famous
curve by Morningside Park and
Riverdale Park, through the dreary
mile* of cheap Harlem Apartment
Houses, straight along to Redtor,
Street, without a stop, thus allow
ing the man of duty to be at his
desk within one hour.
But people can form an idea of
the general distress prevalent just
now. The money panic of the last
winter has swept through all places
like a devantat mg cyclone, causing
thousand of clerks and workers in
all fields to suffer.
The minority which has been
able to ma'ntain its place, must be
content with less pay • and it dares
not object, for hundreds are hang
ing on to the skirts of the fortu
nate man who has a detk to claim
his hourj.
A prominent editor told me on
ly yesterday, that many wel [known
journalists, accustomed to draw a
salary ranging from SSO, to S6O, a
week are quite willing to accept
the sls, or S2O, offered . The whole
scale of the literary labor marlo
has thus shifted, and things are
just about as bad as they can he.
1 am sure that 1 cannot imagine
a worse state of affairs, when
brilliant men, accustomed to com
fordable incomes, are suddenly
brought face to face with distress,
occasioned by no depravity or
fault of theirs, and are literal y
starving.
I'hey too having moved from
pleasant apartments into cheap
lodging Uouees, find even that »
heavy dram on the pocket, or an
anxiety to meet weekly. They too,
are brough face to ficewith the
I hardships of the day, and must,
I perforce, join the fringe of society.
It is more instructive than words
call tell to wslk through Madison
and Uu’on Squares. They are
crowded wiih idlers, and I have
never seen Central Park so vita!
with men in the daytime as dur
ing the past feww weeks.

soft and low
Amid the tree-top tangles;
When summer has the world in tftrall,
And joy is sotereign over ad,
’Tis curious that a little bird
Should utter such a wistful word
As "Foor me! Poor me!”
When days are long,
Ami limbs are strong
Ami blith wi h youth the season;
When everything
Is turned to spring
And rhy me and not to reason;
When life is all a holiday.
With naught of care and much of play,

COURT JESTERS AND DWARFS
About the lime that little Rich
ard Gibson was teaching lhe En
glish princesses to draw, Nikita
Moiseievitch Zotof, the “Musco
vite court foul and dwarf,” was
appointed tutor to hie Russian
majesty, the young Czar. Peter the
Great.
Zotof is w-id to enjoyed a
great reputation for learning and
goodness, according to the Rus
sian standard of that time. As
late as the year 1682, when Louis
XIV. and Charles 11. were holding
their brilliant courts, and the good
William Penn was making treaties
with the Indians of America, Rus
sia was so far behind the other
European nations that even a roy
al prince seldon learned anything
more than a little reaiiing. writing
and arithmetic, with perhaps a
smattering of geography and his
tory.
There were then no great writers
or artists among thj Russians, bvA
couit jasters ami dwarfs were highly
esteemed. Learning did not count for
much, except among the clergy; but
great empires, we are told, was rc
markable for her “tools” of high de
gree, for even princes were proud to
Hold the office.
As for dwarfs the country was
really alive with them. One eld au
thor says there was scar cely a noble
mrn in the land who did not possess
one or more of these friends of nature
At almost all states dinners; if these
pygmies were fortunate enough to es
cape being served in a pie, it was
their duty to stand behind their lord’s
chair, holding h’s snuff-box or await
ing his command. They were usually
dressed in a uniform or livery of very
costly material.
In 1708 Prince Mensinkof sent to
his wife in Russia two dwarfs whom
be hud made pnsonen.R war in Po
,aLd. Accompanying the gift were
:he following lines; “I semi you a
present of two girls, one ot whom is
very small and cau serve as a parrot.
She in more talkative than is usual
among su h little people, and cau
i n «ke jeu much gjixer than if she
was a real parrot.”
One of these dwaifs was still living
in 1794’ Alter the disgrace of her
noble master, s’ e came under the
care of the Princess of Hesse-Hom
burg, and when she died, Gen. Bet.
skoy, the princess’ heir, took the
dwarf as part of eis inheritance.
Nearly a century old, she was still
biisk and lively, with a babyish voice
when she cried, as sbo often did at
the recollection of her ancient court
dress, which she had prized exceed
jUgly, Except when looking at her
face to face one would think her to
be a child of 5 or 6 jears old.—Mar
