Carious Htnlt of the Stranding of People After the Fair. j Eiirhtv-nine North shore cliff-dwellers were arrested in their romantic houses alone the dump at Huron street the other night, relates the Chicago Her ald, vvhen the world s fair closed last October, a great mass of human drift wood, gathered from all climes, was thrown upon the city. Hundreds of men who had sold red-hot,, "yer ofishul guide," and stained eye-glasses alonff Stony Island avenue found themselves without employment and no means to return to their former homes. During the winter the corridors of the city hall, soup kitchens and police stations sheltered them. When the rigor of winter was Over, some of them left the city and some secured employment. Nearly two hundred of them did neither. They drifted to the north shore and built for themselves habita tions. The lake at this point was being filled and there was no end to the variety or quantity of material they had at hand for building purposes. The lake itself was not unkind to them, and wreckage, sawed lumber and St. Joe fruit crates and chicken coons were now and then washed ashore at their feet. These made the framework of the dwellings in the cliffs. The bank or cliff is in some places thirty feet high, receding from the shore in convenient terraces. In constructing a cliff home an excava tion would be made in the cliff about ten feet square. A frame would be put in with special care to have the roof waterproof. Worn out felt roofing, strips of sheet iron and tin would be spread over all. The cliff house was then finished, excepting1 decorations. Old carpets, wall paper, picture frames and matting, discarded from more pre tentious dwellings farther north on the shore, filled this want. The house proper was only used for sleeping purposes. The cooking was done out in front in tomato cans. Two men trenerallv lived together. A feel ing of comradeship had sprung up In the settlement; there was little quarrel ing, and a lew of the most thickly populated terraces had even been dignified with names of streets. A few of the men worked at what they could 1 find to do during the day, and most of them got their food by begging and fishing. Tfteir begging'was one of the reasons that MMd Inspector Schaack to undertake tbs rail, . THE "DEVIL'S DAGGER.' A Yoanr Berdssaan Urata lit Dsatfc by Falling o Cactus Plant.

WEALTH IN CIGAR STUBS. kmbto fftvK ot a Collector of the The story told , by fir. Jonathan Pinchbeck at Sorth iondoa police court the other day so remarijWe as fully to deserve the prominence that has been given it In the press, says London Truth. Ur, ItninPOCJc, among other striking statements, ftsert that from January, 1876, to January. 1S93, he picked up on his way to and from work in the neighborhood of Clapton 00,000 cigar ends, which he valued at 1,800. He estimates the distance cov ered in these daily walks at 11,823 miles. Eve allowing him a walk on Sundays, -this tweld mean that for seventeen years he picked np very nearly 100 cigar ends per nay in toe course of less than two-mile walk. Each walk would not hare taken, him much over an hour. Further, In seven teen years he collected tobacco to the value of 1,800, which means a return of about 106 per annum, or over 40 shillings per week, for an hour's work per day. If this can be done in the BetgABornooa ol uapton, ne returns would b vastly greater in the West End, where eig&r ends are presumably more plentiful. Th fiear of All Souls, Clapton, has written io the papers to guarantee that Mr. Pinchbeck is a de serving -man. If the vicar can also guarantee that he is a truthful one, a new and lucrative industry has been discovered.

' WHAT I SAW BY THE WAV8IDB. In making a business trip' through Eagle Point up to lhe Hoyt brothers' place, I caught several Items of Interest to your readers, that I will give as tbey appear on my notebook. First, I saw a young couple holding a picket fence up, one on each side, and I kindly admonished them to be careful, as Mr. Pool, of the Eagle hotel, had to go to the expense of procuring new pickets for his fence, on account of the youug folks nibbling the ends oft the old pickets while holding up the fence in the same way. Next I saw a change in the arrangement of the residence of B. F. Inlow, and learned that Dr. W. U. Officer and S. U. Holmes had rented n portion of the house and wore fitting up an oIHce for the doctor and sleeping apartments lor the two bachelors, but some of the would-be wise ones of our community seem to be of the opinion that one of the two Is thinking seriously of taking to himself a housekeeper; some any one nnd some tho other, but time will prove all things. The next Item of interest was that Frank Lewis hud got his house up so that it could be seen for a long distance. It Is a neat, story and a hulf building, and reflects credit on Frank's taste und enterprise. He thinks he will be able to move his family Into it by Thanksgiving day. Then come the meeting of two young ladies who hud been visiting the Hoyt brothers that afternoon. These gentlemen are very popular. The young ladies had been taking lessons In agriculture, alternating holding the plow and driving the team. There is nothing like being practical. The Hoyt brothers are hustlers from tho "nobs."
