Every one in old Greenwich vil lage, this city, knows Captain Larcomb because of the luxuri nice of his whiskers. Without the whiskers his own kin wouldn’t know him. If the Captain had to choose between death and losing his whiskers, most of his acquain tances on the West side of New York agree that he’d say, Gimme death. They are black and glossy as silk Hoss. There is nearly enough hair on either side of his face to stuff a pillow. The Captain is a rich bachelor and about 40 years old. If by spending SI,OOO the luster or bushiness of his whiskers could be increased in the slightest degree, Captain Larcomb wouldn’t hesi tate a minute. He puts a double value on them, because they cost him the only woman he ever lov ed. He told her of his passion, and, like the girl in the Bab Ballads, she reciprocated it. Will you marry me, then? said the Captasn. I love you she replied, but I cannot attach myself permanent ly to such a pair of whiskers. Shave them and I am yours. But I could not think of such a thing protested the Captain. Well, said she, shrugging her pretty shoulders, it is for you to decide. Which is it to be, me or the whiskers? Whiskers, sighed the Captain.— New York Advertiser. Not The Only one.

F.eaidauu A THE HUSTLER OF ROME.SUNDAY OCTOBER,2B 1894. IN ITTALY A Roman Visits the Leaning Tower of Pisa. BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS Queer Ideas of the Decorative art Indulged in by the An cients. A Trip to the Great Volcano, Ve suvius. Quiet quaint old Pisa, you can walk forblocksand not see a Jiving thing. Like all these old Citys the houses are built nigh on the street but “My My” the old walls look as if they were built for jails. Immense oaken doors with massive brass knockers reminds one of the picture in childrens story books of the castle that Jack the Giant Killer was trying to enter. We soon were at the Cathedral This beautiful building is 312 feet long 106 fl wide with a very high dome of splendid proportior s over the center. It is constructed of white Marble with black ornamatioa. Ibe interior is supported by 68 columns taken by the Pisans in war. and |he walls are decorated with many paintings by the old masters. Near by is the Baptistery. This > eautitul buildisg, circular in form h about SCO lett high and it is built < f white marble. And now we are at the Le ining Tower, and though we knew it bad ‘stood the storms and winds of centu ries, still one feels as if it must fall, Ining 180 feet high and 13 feet out of perpefidicular. It rises in eight stories and around > ach is a collonade. It requires a teady head, after reaching the top, to look over on the other side. There are sor 6 bells on the top, one very large one, and they still ring. But now only peals of joy to call the devoted, but many times they rang in ages past to call the peo ple to arms to defend their homes and their all from the invading foe. I cannot tell why but when walking around to the leaning side ; there were no less than a doz zen persons sitting on the grass near the tower, and we noticed they all sat on the opposite side to the way it leans. The Campo Santo, or Burial place is only a short distance. The exterior is very plain, over 400 feet long and nearly 200 feet wide. In the interior is a wide hall open ng out in a green court or square. The walls are covered with fres co*, and nay, nay, what strange ideas these old timers had for dec orating. Here we see Job with his friends on one side of the devil, hideous and terrible looking, and on the other side a beautiful angel hovering near. Then a number of paintings from the old Testament. Here is Noah drunk and uncovered on the ground, a woman has her face cov ered with her hands, but watches him through her open fingers. Another represents a number of ladies and gentlemen in their hol iday attire on their way to the hunt, and suddenly come to three open coffins which reminds them how short and few are the pleasures of life. Then here is pictured Hell with its everlasting fires filled with dev ils and demons torturing and tor menting the unfortunate souls that enter there. Here are Pagan and Christain monuments side by side. We see a Roman sarcophagus with circus games near by, a modern tomb, an angel hovering over a little child and around them a white honey suckle in full bloom had grown which brought to our iii'n 1 the thought that in so short a time we will all be bound by the ties of death. And hereon the walls are sus., pended the chains that once were across the ancient harbuor of Pisa to protect her from any foe from the sea, bnt was taken by the Gen ase in 1362. Through and around its immense links are twined the pretty and sweet white r< s;. What a beautiful emblem of peace. The open space in the center is earth from Mount Calvary, and I brought here that the dead might sleep in holy ground. We got back to our hotel nt dark and learned that Mt. Vessuvius is {rumbling, and we at once decide logo direct to Naples, bo we left Pi#n at midnight, arriving at Rome early in the morning, and after a delay of only a few minutes, we continued our journey, stopping only at ancient Capua, which is aboat 15 or 20 miles from Naples. The country along the line of Road is beautiful and very pro- I ductive though it has been in cul tivation so many years th® grain crop is now being harvested and we see the woman working right along side of the men and doing the sama work the men do. Up in the mountains we see on nearly every point the ruins of some old castle or a town surrounded by an old wall. But here we are at Capua. A s hort wa k brought us to the ruins of the old Amphitheater which is one of the largest and most ancient in Italy. As we pass in we notice that each of the arebss ar® decorated with figures of the gods, and be « are the dsns in which the wild beasts.were confined . Schools were once here for train ing Gladiators, here the war of the Gladiators under Spartacus broke out B. C. 83. From this point wv got our first sight of Veevius. A Roman. Drink opened His Eyes. Here is a man, Keating by name who has flown in the face of a,l the preedents and proverbs on the subject of strong drink. Usually they point to strong drink as the source of all evils, but hereaftei they will have to say, ‘‘Except iu the case of Keating.” This man was in the employ of James B Kilty, of No. 445 Canal street, several months ago, and J maiiag'’d to steal and sell S2(O wor h o piano covers without being detect ed or even suspected. All along h has been hard and unrepentant. He went his way s.berly, and it does not appear that he had a s qualm of conscience. Wednesday evening he got drunk, and.immedi ately his eyes were opened to tb»- evil of his ways. Instead of the proverbial serpent, an ang< 1 roi-e out of the wine cup and warned him < i bis wickedness. He harried away to the Macdougal Street itation, con fess d Lis crime to the Sergeant, was locked up and yesterday was held for trial. • Being sober, he is now kicKirg himself for having told —Chicago Record METHODOF DEFENSE. How the Hired Girl Worked a Cold Bluff on Weary Raggles. There’s one hired girl in Detroit who ought to have a medal, says the Free Press. The other morn ing a tramp'came to the kitchen door where she presides and asked her for something to eat. It wasn't the first one who had presented himself and she was not at all pleased to see him, but she didn’t show it in her manner. “Will you sit down in the shade there,” she said pleasantly, “and wait till 1 get it for you?” “Certainly, ma’am,” he said unobtrusively, as he picked a suit place and deposited himself upon it. She went into the kitchen and the tramp waited. He oontin. ed to wait. Every now and then she would appear at the door and hope would spring in his breast, and he would smack his lips, only to see her disappear again. Finally the strain became too great for him, and he came to the door. “Excuse me, ma'am,” he said, “I thought may be you had for gotten me ma’am. “Oh, no, 1 haven’t, she chirrup ed ; I’ve been keeping an eye on you all the time. Didn't I tell you to wait until I brought you some thin? to eat? a es’m, And didn't you say you would? Yes’m, butl’d like to know how long I’ve got to wait. She laughed merrily . “That’s so.” she said, I never thought of that; you’ll have to wait only six weeks or such a mat ter,” and there was something in her tones that prejudiced him i against her so that he went away abruptly. ] AN HONEST TRAMP. Relinquished the pie Rather Than Tell a lie. The tramp knocked softly at the kitchen door and the nicest, sweet est old lady in the world met him. ll® chuckled quietly, for he thought he had struck a snap that was go ing to be a regular bonanza find. “Beggin’your pardon, lady, but can I get a bite to eat here?” he asked humbly. “Are you very hungry?” she re sponded like a mother. f “Yes, lady.” ' “You are out of work, I sup pose?” “Yes, lady;|l have not done a a lick of work since the first day . of June.” Something in this statement made him chuckle again, but she ( did not hear him as she stepped tc f the cupboard to get a piece of pie. says the Detroit Free Press. Shs came back and stood with it in hei hand before him like a Lady Bonn -1 tiful and his mouth began to wa ter. “And how long before that?” she asaed with something in her ton® that crushed him. “Lady,” he gasped, “I cannot tell a lie, Good-morning.” and he walked out of the yard while sht set back the pie for the next one.

This may not be new, but it was new to the reporter who overheard it on an East Providence cur Sun day, so it is "likely that there are ‘ others who have never heard it. 1 The young man who told it was , evidently a collegian, as was his cjmpacion. I heard a good one on Professor-, of Andover, he said. What was it? queried the other. Well, you know he was married , during the winter, and went to housekeeping just outside the vil lage. This spring he thought he would add a few hens to his stock ; he already had a dog. lie set a couple of the hens, and in time had two large broods of chickens. He was very proud of them, but in a week or bo the hens began to die. He called in a neighbor to look at too chickens and offer ad vice. They were certainly a pret ty scaly lot of chickens that the neighbor viewd. They were skin uy-looking and apparently with out ambition. What doyar feed them? asked the neighbor, after a brief survey Fe->d them? responded the Pro ‘essor, as though he didn’t hear aright. Why, I don’t feed them any thing. I thought the old hens had milk enough for them. Two Stories of old Hickory. G«u.ral Arm.irong, A*Bi B la nt CommiaioDer of Indian Affairs thinks that Andrew Jackson was one of the greatest men this oouu* try ever produced, and has a num her of stories which were told him by his unci*, who was an intimate friend of old Hickory. One of them is very characteristic of the man. Lewi® Cass. Secretary of War was at the White House one day with some important papers for the President to sign, among them being a court-martial findings, Cass, what is this? inquired, Jackson, as he was about towrite his name to the document. It ie a court-martial, answered' Cass. What have’ I to do with h?askedi the President. ’ It dismisses an officer from the ' service, and the President must sign such orders. Jackson toyed with the paper and said mosingly; Dissmise him , from the army, eh. Why. Drunkeunss* ; getting drunk and falling down on parade, or some, thing of that kind, answered the ’ Secretary. Who orders the court? asked Jackson. General Scott, answered Cass. Who is it? asked the President with more interest. Inspector General Kraum, replied | Cass, What! shouted Jackson. My old friend Kraum! Cass, just read what that paper says. * The Secretary read the usual form of the court-martial sentence in such cases. The President then took the paper and wrote across the bottom, where be was about to sign his name: The within findings are dissap proved, andCo' t Kaum is restored, to his duty and rank, ' He passed the pap°r hack to< ■ Secretary Cass, and said with hie. i usual vehemence: By the Eternal? Cass, when yoat and Scott serve your country as well as that man has you may get ' drunk on duty every day. A young man from Tennessee, son of a friend of General Jackson,.. ■ came to Washington for a place. ' He looked about and found what, he wanted. It was in the War Deparm''nt, 1 aud filled by a very efficient Whig,, whom Cass would not remove . ihe young man told Jackson the situ ation, and Cass was sent for. Cass, said the President, this young man, sun of my old friend, says you have got a place in the j \Var Pep j me t filled by a Whig which you wou’t give him Secretary Cass explained that the duties in the office were of a peculiar kind, and he could get no one to fill tfie place if the i.rm now in it should be removed. Jackson ilared up. - By the Eternal! Cass do yea mean to tell me that you have an office in your department filled by aWh g that can’t be filled by a Democrat? Then abolish the off fice I The young man got bis place.—• Washington Star. For the Sublime. The kitchen door o 1 ajar and thfere was no one about to receive the Ishmael of the road when he came in. He rattled on the door awhile, and as it brought no results he sat down on the step to wait. I’retty soon the cock c ame into the kitchen from the dining room, and as she saw him she gave a littte nervous squeak. Excuse me, he said, rising; I did not mean to scare yon. But you did just the same, she re« torted angrily. Yep, and I apologized like a gen* tlemar. That is alright; what do you want? Ahem, he coughed ; I want broiled .obs e: and a glass of champague, but I wont get it, I suppose. Not in the slightest. Well, to come from the sublime t® the ridiculous, what ie the chance for me to get a soup bone aud a slug of bakers bread? He got it.
