2 NEW YORK. Some Happenings in the Country’s Metropolis. Thanksgiving and a Turkey Glut -Getting Ready for Christmas—An Incident Cott cernlng Mrs. Cleveland The Street Car Conductor, the Trunk, and the Dude. New York, Dec. 11.-[Special.]— Christinas goods ami Santa Claus reign paramount. The stores are lull of evert possible article that can tempt the eye, all varying in price from the few cents to the hundreds of dollars, anti the cus tomers arc sorely put to it how to make their choice. The early birds an long since atield. and have made their selections ahead ol' time so as not to be obliged to put up with the leavings ol the market at the last moment. Every establishment of any pretensions to be ing anything is a thing of beauty; it will not, however, be a joy forever —not for very long, as day by day the glories disappear, their places being taken by articles much inferior in radiance and in price. As for the provision markets their day is hardly come as yet. They have hardly gotten over the Thanksgiv ing day glut ns yet. And here 1 may say that never before acre Thanksgiving turkeys so tieir us this year. Whether there is a turkey trust, or whether the t.,rl- -y grow rs are holding back for Christmas 1 don’t pretend to say. All I can vouch ior is that the priJts ruled from ten to twenty cents a pound it: Washington market. But by night they luid come down 150 to 200 per cent. The pitiless, unrelenting rain oil Wednesday utterly prevented shopping: by night time, therefore, there was a big glut, and then the economical mother of a family ol tlnil'ty boarding house keeper made her purchase". They wert brave in tlioir endeavors to procure cheap entertainment tor their families and boa tiers, and their pluck iu ventur ing out into the pitiless storm was re warded by the possibility of buying tin noble bird—-a good one at that —for seven aud even five eents a pound. THANKSGIVING IAV itself passed over iu the UoUul manner. It t-roke wel and gloomy , bill e.cured up early. The chin-lies hud ipiile their fair share of worshipers, and many wort tastefully aud artistically decorated with flowers and print Mo few, however,j assumed the appearance of green grocers 1 stores or Hour and feed shops for tht nonce, so prodigal and so vulgarly ob trusivo w,s the display of the common est vegetables. Turnips riv liing bomb shells in circumference, pumpkins ol gigantic girths, stalwart beets, spindle legged caiYotls, obese potatoes, euonn ous cabbages, and sheaves of >vheat enough to supply a garrison with Hour, were piled up Pelion-on-Ossa-wise in front of and around the minister,who, a in one place of worship was compelled te> use one bale of hay for a pulpit and an other for a lounge to sit ou. Outside the Episcopal and the Roman churches the preachers devoted themselves, as n rule, to taking up politics as their theme, aud Republican aud Democrat,as well in sermon as in prayer told their peoph aud tiie Almighty a number of novelties in the world political. Some used the “coward’s castle’’ to pitch into Mi Cleveland and from their pulpits re joiced tliat his being ousted from powei afforded them a cause for Thanksgiving THE MEANS OF LOCOMOTION arc sorely taxed at present. It is next to impossible to get a seat in any “L” train now at the way stations, and as foi the street cars their crowded condition passes understanding. A curious epi sode happened in one of the Madison Avenue ears the other day. It wa> crammed to the doors, aud the majority of the seats were fflhd w ith bipeds who in the garb of men allowed delicate wo men, some carrying babies or bundles, to stand in that rude way that seems pecu liar to New York so-called gentlemen. One very handsome sweet looking young woman, plainly hut richly dressed, en tered and hung on by the strap iu accus tomed ft shion. Every man’s counten ance was buried i:i his newspaper and none made any sign of seeing the lady, much less ol offering tier a seat. Ai last uu apple-l'aeed, countryfted woman caught her eye. The Rely aud she exchanged warm gi noting, and the poorer woman got up and gave In r Un seat she was occupying. The lady rode a few blocks aud then got out. Ou hoi departure the poorer w oman said: ‘‘.she wouldn’t have been so treated in Washington. Every one loved her there.’’ Curiosity was exeit- and at once, and the disgust of some of these male individuals when they found they ban been guilty of such UJtOSS RUDENESS TO IIKS. CLEVELAND, was a sight to behold. One sees strange, and often very amusing scenes on board these cars. The other day a highly gotten up dude got into one at Morrisiuna unnoticed by the conductor. Finding a very dis reputable hairy truuk-box on the floor in front of him, he naturally used it for a footstool. The conductor, on coming around, said, “You must pay for that box,” as lie passed the dude. No notice was taken of the order. Again the conductor gave the same order. At last iu wrath he went tip to| ilie exquisite and said directly to him:] “You must pay for that box or I'll] throw it off.’’ “j’ve paid my fare, Midi I'll do no more,” was the reply. The ear was going very rapidly on uf down grade and by tile time the con-] doctor had returned to the dude, after! throwing the box oil', quite a block had] been passed over. He glared at his! victim and in t ues of sup tressed indig-i nation cried: “I told yes; I’d throw iij oft.” “All right,” said the other, “it! didn’t hurt me; its not my box.” In a fury the conductor savagely] pulled the bell, but by Hi: time the ear! ame to a halt, three blocks or more had! been traveled. The wretched mau hud to] retrace his steps in the pouring rain,] shoulder the muddy box, and trudges back to the car, only to tied that it was! ids own which his wife had put on board! for him to deliver dow:t town, lint already' perturbed feelii gs were not] mollified by the laughter of the pass.-n-j iffers, the chaff of the driver, or tliei scornful remark of the dude, “Served thJ iicggur right! H.d he think I’d owu] such a shabby article?” THE FISKS [DENT’S MESSAGE, so far as it relates to the negro in the! South, has exc led only contemptuous! notice. At the name tints it is feared! that he will, by his misri presentations, so work upon t e fee-ii -more prob ably the pockets—of tin g. o. p. as to) .mite them to agree to In scheme for! the promotion .1 Republic an boss ism by! erecting a board of Federal officer.- to! control the vot ug at Federal elections! it will not only nuke more oftioc wlierowith to fill the him try mouths oil die hordes of unsatisfied jfiice seeke r.-;.! but it w ill also open the door to the in’! .reduction of a syst. ni by means oil I'-’ deli the Republicans shill be able to] manipulate the electorate .it favor of thej party.
