A SLEEPY GODDESS.
A Theatrical Deity tioee te Mire ea
the Mpeetaealar Mage.
Leander Richardson in Detroit Tltnea
In a scene of "Orpbeui and Eurydioe," a
burlesque contemptible to listen to but be
witching to look at, a large party of god and
goddesses are disclosed asleep on Mount
Olympus high. They are bestowed on
fleecy cloud with jagged wooden edges,
their poaec are as artfully unconven
tional at the previous night's carousal
on godly nectar is supposed to have left
them, and their countenances in mimic slum
ber are artistically computed. A score of
chorus girls maintain their fast-asleep atti
tudes during the singing of several numbers
by principal characters. The other night the
realistic aspect of one of them puzzled me.
Toe tweet smile which prevailed among her
companions gave way in her instance to per
fect vacuity of expression; her eyes were
shut tight, without any evidence of sjv peep
ing, ber reddened mouth was dropjxxl open,
with no affectation of pout or simper; and
ber legs and arms bad the appearance of
genuine laxity. At first 1 took all this for
conscientious acting. Then she let her wand
fall, and I doubted if she was awake. Next
she wriggled and snuggled down, as though
the roughness of the couch and the thinner
of her clothes made her deplore the insuffi
ciency of bedding, and I was sure she was
asleep. Her failure to stir when the rest of
the goddesses were awakened by the rise of the
lime-light sun was entirely convincing.
"Hist! histl" came a cautious voioe from
the wings.
She turned half over.
Punch her; punch ber," was the prompter's
command, quite audible in the forward rows
of the parquetto.
A poke of Jove's scepter brought ber to a
sitting posture. For a moment she was
dazed. The audience laughed, and she was
thereby brought to her souses; but the merri
ment was to most of the observers a result of
what they supposed was the girl's acting, and
ridicule was averted. A midnight supper
of mortal reality bad doubtless caused that
goddess' nap.
How riles Ate an Iceberg and Lib

Philadelphia Press.
"Don't think I ever mentioned it, did IP
said the nautical cop. "Lt me see I think
it was in the fall of 1SG5. Our vessel was ice
bound on the coast of Liberia, and off to lee
ward, and about 200 yards was an iceberg
about thirty feot high. It was just about
noon-time, and the sun was shining brightly.
I bad taken my trick at the wheel, and was
lying in the fo'castle, when the mate came
running forrerd and woke me up. 'Turn out,'
you lubber,' said be, 'if you waut to see the
greatest thing you ever saw in your life.
There is a big cloud of ice-flies comiug down
from the north, and we'll be sure to get out of
here inside the next hour.' I hadn't the
least 1 lea what the mate meant, but I obeyed
orders, and scrambled up on deck.
I looked over the starboard bow, and away
np north I could see what appeared to be a
big black patch in the blue sky. As it came
nearer I saw that the cloud was composed of
millions and millions of little blue-bodied
flies, with long wings and web feet 'I hope
to goodness they don't skip the berg,' laid
the captain.lookiug at the flock with bis glass,
'or we're good to stay another week, and if
' by Jove,' he continued, 'they've struck it'
This remark was caused by the fact that tho
cloud had settled on the iceberg. Now, sir,
what do you think happened? Why, dog
ne my buttons if that cloud of flies didn't
ut up every speck of that borg inside of
thirty-eight minutest Yes, sirl There
wasn't euough left to make a glass of lemon

go without any trouble." "How was it pos
sible for the flies to avoid being frozen to

A decided novelty iu the art line has boen
placed on exhibition at the Woman's In
dustrial exchange, a sories of etchings on

in the great northern woods. It presents a
surface of a delicate cream-like tint, under

artistically removing this surface with a
sharp-pointed instrument the bronze is ex

effect by oue acquainted with tho work. The

NEW YORK'S MASHERS.
A Few-Distinctive Typas Selected
from a Limitless Variety.
The Brokea-Dewa bat Heir-Ua-plaeeat
I)ade The Bold and
Danger, the Keprsbate
aad the Bossantle.
"Duran-lal" In Cincinnati Enquirer.
The variety in New York mashers is limit
lets. In London the term "masher" is dis
tinctive of one particular type. The London
masher is a magnificent creature who wears
half a dosen suits a day, frequents the green
room of the theatres given up to comic opera
and burlesque at night, patronizes the music
balls, and drives his own horses in the park.
He is dissipated to the last degree, aud an ln-1
veterats man-about-town. The London
masher is magnificent He devotes all bis
time with the girls, and goes to pieces with ex
traordinary rapidity. New York cannot
boast of a clam of mashers of this sort In
all the city, however, there are not more than
three men who are at all like the London
plungers. These three, however, go far to
make up in wild living for their poverty in
numbers. They keep the town talking from
morning to night, aud their freaks and esca
pades are a source of incessant amusement to
their cronies.
After all, the youth who undertakes to
mimic the London masher must suffer ac
cordingly. He must, iu the rtrst place, give
up all pretensions to decent society, for
mothers here do not overlook wild living in
young men as they do in London. The
ambitious boy who starts in to sow bis wild
oats in this prodigal manner must therefore
forfeit all recognition from respectable
women, be scowled at by fathers of families
and generally shunned. The life is likely to
pull him down rapidly, and in the end make
him prematurely old. Whether it pays or
not is an open question; everybody suys it
doesn't But if it doesn't, why are there
those who follow it)
THE BROKKS-DOWN SWELt.
Another type of masher, and one who is
very prevaleut in Now York, is tho broken-
down dude or swell. Ho may be seen every
where, from Uie Battery to Harlem river.
He is always abroad, and hence one must
conclude that he has no home. He lives iu
the street-cars, the stages and hotel corri
dors, elevated railroad station and the side
walk in frout of the great dry-goods houses
are bis special uauuts. I saw a lypicn
specimen of this class in the Sixth Avenue
Elevated Railroad car this morning when 1
came down town. There was a drizzling
rain, and the mud was half a foot deep,
while the wind blew fitfully. When th
trained stoped at Fourteenth street the
masher drifted in. I should imagine
from bis appearance that he had been
standing in front of Mary's all night
long. He wore a stamling collar, which was
very much broken down at the sides, and a
white sutiu tie, which bad evidently been
rained upon several hours. His well-crowued
Euglish beaver hat was dented aud disreput
able-looking, an I his brick-colored gloves
were all out at the fingers. His spire form
was clod in a bob tailed coat which had once
been a stylish drab, but bad become a mot
tled gray, and a pair of light brown trousers
were rolled up at the bottom, exposing a pair
of pointed pateut-leuther boots, cracked on
cither side. Ho carriod a cane with an
enormous silver bead, and wore a haughty
and reserved expression. He evidently hadn't
been shaved for two days, and his eyes were
bunced up. but bis solf-complaeeuey was un
disturbed and be was apparently as satisfied
and contented with himself as it was possible
for bim to be.
The man's appearance was absolutely gro
tesque. It would have beeu pitiful if he were
not so well satisfied with himself. Ho pulled
a rumpled 1-cent morning pajier out of his
pocket, and read it placidly until he came to
Park place. The well-dressed and prosperous
lookins men ou their way to business looked
at the mash?r askance, or openly made fun
of him, as he pranced through the car aud
alighted at the station. He skipped rapidly
down the stairs and went off toward Hroau
way with his arms akimbo, his hat on one
side of bis bead, and bis cuun swing
ing jauntily in the air. Meanwhile the
rain poured down ou him, the wind
blew at him and the mud sploshed all over
him, but his self-satisfl'ad air did not desert
him for an instaut, and he Beemed utterly
unconscious of the gibes of the street boys or
the paternal advice of the passing truck
drivel's. Does anybody know why be didn't
carry an umbrella I Because this weather re
minded him of "Dearole Lounon." 'lnedude
masher, however, is rapidly drifting out of
favor. Even the Bowery girls refuse to
notice bim now, and he spends bis time in
dreumiug of bis conquests of a year ago,
when he enjoyed a short lived popularity.
THE KF.ALLY DANGEROUS.
Still another type of the man who are
known as mashers is the rejuvenated "sport"
of other days. He has lately appeared on up
per Broadway in considerable numbers.
Formerly be confined himself to the lower
wards of the city or to Grand street and
Third avenue. Gradually he crept up into
Sixth avenue, and now he may bo seen on
Broadway. I presume eventually he will
stride into Fifth avenue. Among his inti
mates he is known as one who "travels on
his shape." As a rule he is square
shouldered and athletio in build. He
wears a high hat, big amethyst rings,
and usually .he bos a huge mustache
curled at the ends, oils his bair and smokes
strong cigais. It is a popular impression
among his kind that women love bim at first
sight, and husbands and fathers are afraid
of him becauA of his powerful proportions.
This is a particularly aggravating type. He
accosts women on the street baldly, insults
them in cars aui stages, and makes their
afternoon walks a source of annoyance and
terror. He is persistent and fearless. If a
woman gies him the slightest encourage
ment be will follow ber for hours about town,
dog her footsteps to the door of ber own
bouse, and wait for her day after day. He Is
by all odds the most dangerous of tue many
different sorts of mashers in New York.
THE OLD BEPBOBATE.
A type which is growing alarmingly nu
merous is composed of mashers who have
nausea bo vears of aire. These are the most
soulless, iniquitous and abandoaed mashers
of them alL Tbey are usually rattier nne
lwkinj old men, scrupulously neat and
fashionably attired. They all tond toward
ons style of dre, and a description of one
describes them alL He wears a blue or black
frock cost, buttoned high in the neck, a
white collar, a bit of scarlet tie, light
trousers, white over-gaiters, and patent
leather boots. He is always well gloved,
.mi ran-iM a resnectable-lojkine cane. He
shaves every day, and his white mustache
is carefully waxei U he nas any
hair it is parted behind. This gentleman is
always round-shouldered, always weak in the
back, an 1 always has a mincing gait Ha
leers into the faces of young girls es he makes
his way along the more populous streets, and
.-nPfnennLiuusllv. Every able-bodied man
who comes along fairly aches with a desire to
eus this particuar style ol rufflaa by us
neck and toss him into the street He seems
happy and contented. He is never seen at
night, and does not venture forth unless the
day is clear. Warm, sunshiny days bring
out bonles of these vampires. Damp weather
gives them the rheumatism and lumbago,
and they are obliged to stay at boms and
nurse their pains.
THE HOV ANTIC HNF.AK.
There is one other type that should not
pass unnoticed, it is the romantic masher,
who wears his hair long and effects stained
glass attitudes, a weak voice, a sad smile and
gentle manners. Not infrequently he is a
dry-goals clerk, and hi only home is in a
cheap boarding-bouse, but be talks with a
weird aud romantic intonation and raves
over the more fleshly poets. He Is, at a rule,
a man of small Intelligence, but extraordi
nary conceit He wanders pensively along
the avenues in the afternoon, gazing soul
fully at women. His hands are clasped be
hind his back. He wears a soft felt hat and
clinging frock coat He not infrequently
attends Sunday-school, and be always has
the confidence of the mothers. He seems
pure and good. Look out for bim. He is a
sneak, and in some respects the most danger
ous of bis breed.
HOVEL CORNET PLATI53.
Aa Indiana Lad's Wall-Taper Irnlt.
tlon of Levy and His Jluale.
Chicago Times.
Arias from "11 Trovetore" and "Boccac
cio," rendereJ with the precision and jier
fectness of a cornet on a simple piece of wall
paper rolled in the shape of a cornucopia are
not often heard, yet yesterday afternoon, at
the Tremont bouse, two dozen men stood
amazed and euchantod listening to such
music The iieiformer was a boy about 14
years old. His instrument was a home
or rather self-made affair. It consisted
only of a square of wall-paper rolled in a
circumscribed circle at one end, aud branch
ing out towards the opposite end until the
circumference ofjbat terminus was about six
or eieht times creuter thau the mouthpiece.
The boy stood at the door with the crude
instrument in his mouth with his lelt hand,
while with his riht he beat a species of basi
on the panel of the portal He had the tie-
culiar power of so souudinz the panel that it
gave forth chords almostexactly imitative of
a bass-viol, which chimed in with the wall-
tiRper music rhythmically and musically.
The wall-)oper comet itself was as good a
counterfeit of a brass and silver instrument
as anything not brass and silver could be.
It was really quite a wonderful perform
ance, and the youth showed that be posswscd
a musical talent high above tue usual onier.
When he had finished his renditions he doffed
his cap and went around among the crowd
of men w hom he had attracted by bis novel
melanice. A shower of coins indicated the
men's appreciation of the performance, and
the boy left the liotel with a couple ol uoi-
lars. Hs has been iu Chicago four days, and
he says his name U Irving Hitter aud be re
sides in North Manchester, Ind.
He came to Chicago without money and
only his musical novelty to earn him bread.
He went about the streets ou the first day ol
bis arrival here, playing his wall-puper in
strument, and was gathering in a multitude
of nickels, when a patent button fasteuer
peddler discovered him. That worthy, who,
to attract uttention to bis wares, goes about
the streets covered with a thousand diff vren
styles of buttons sewed to his coat vest pants
and hat in fantastic shapes, thought he saw iu
the bov a bettor card thau his manifold but
tons. He therefore entered iuto partnership
with him, and now the boy plays bis paper
instrument on the streets while the button-
fastener vender disposes of his patent to the
crowd which the prodigy attracts. I he boy
is a musical prodigy, and it is likely Unit ho
will bo engaged by some showman or other
before lone As to how be makes his novel
music the vouth is reticent, but he shows
that he has nothing iu his mouth, and the
music is made by tho paper alone. Ho dis
covered that p;iir folded in a certniu way
made music of a cornet's volume and fine-
uess, and hs practiced on it until he has now
arrived nt very near jxirfection.
