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. KLOSTER OF BULL’S EYE SCOTS.

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 Shears Roberts in June St- Nicholas • STUDYING TO PLEASE, Must I run these two scandals un der one headr” asked the foreman. “No indeed” replied the thought ful editor. -‘Run one on the sporting page and the other on the womans’ page.
