New York, December 23d, 1S82.
The streets of the city arc thronged
with shopkeepers, and the thoroughfares
in front of the gret stores in Broadway,
Sixth Avenue, Eighth Avenue, Four
teenth Street, Twenty-third Street and
Grand Street, are fairly blocked with
males and federates; young and old, rich
and poor. And yet the propriet6fS of
nearly all the stores cotnpraitt of bad
business. The crowds rush in, look on
and go away, and this is the same story
everywhere. A fair busitiess is being
done in the toy and doll departments,
but outside of these the income scarcely
'covers expenses. The other afternoon I
had to accompany a lady to an immense
establishment in Fourteenth Street. We
wefe nearly half an hour at one stand,
the Tacfy oi cotwe taking the usual fe
male allowance of tirrte tcf make her se
teclltm. During ibat half hoar the girl
thai wailed upon xis was- asked fully
one litlildred questions by people passing
by, and not one of these questions led
to a purchase of even the veriest trifle.
The anxiety of the owners and managers,
'and the fatigue and strain on the em-
ployees m these stores is really enor-
mous. lue latter nave oeen requirea
td work from fourteen to fifteen hours
hotfftt ll days dtiring the past week, and
the result of the hoi stifling air and rest
less worry is telling on the girls. Poor
things they have seemingly not spirit
'enough left in them to insist on their
title of 44 salesladies, " but are content to
MM . . 1
remain plain saleswomen.
The cause of this dullness may be
traced back directly to the tightness of
the money market, and to the sharp de
cline of some of the leading securities
'on the Stock Exchange. Wall Street is
the pulse of metropolitan life. When
it makes money, everybody seems pros
perous, when it loses everybody is short

Upward tendency.
The other evening I listened to Barnes
the 14 Mountain Evangelist," as he de
jignts to near uimseii caned, tne iree
l"ti. a 1 ! il l .1 m
lance preacher who convulsed Kentucky
in the Spring. He preached or rather
harangued to a small audience of curios
ity Beckers at Clarendon Hall. His
tone and manner struck me as offensive
in the extreme. The familiar manner
in which he handles things which we be
lieve sacred was akin to blasphemy, and
the spirit of braggadocio in which he
speaks of his dWtt labors is calculated to
repulse, Compared with him the ora-
tors of the Salvation Army are mild and
Veserved. I had a short conversation
with him afterwards and was more than
'ever disgusted with him. If I tell you
hat he talks, acts and for, that matter
looks like an advance agent of a circus,
I think you will understand the impres-
Vrfon he iriatre A very offensive part
'Of His 'conversation was the constant re-
Iteration of the charge that the ministers
;of the regular churches were jealous of
him and tried to thwart him. His pres-
fence interferes with the regular oiserva-
tion of religious duties no more than
'the baying of a dog stops the course of
"the moon. Barnes says that he will
'stay in New York 14 as long as the Lord
provides. " As the collections lie takes
up are barely sufficient td pay the rent
'of the "hall, his nojourn in XJotham will
te off XhoYt duration.

neither friend nor foa A few evenings
ago one of the members of the Jeunesse
doree gaVe a dinner party to a number
of gentlemen and also invited Captain
Williams. The Captain left about mid
night,' but the others 'remained much
lader. When the party finally broke up
all were more or less hilarious, and as
the morriiifg was bright and crisp, five
of the merrymakers decided to walk
home, . The leader of these was a mem
ber of a prominent shipping firm, and
one of the slurring "lights of the New
Yoik Yacht Club. Previotis to the re
cent elections his name was pushed by
a very powerful body ! for one of the
chief officers in the city's gifts. To be
guile the tedium of walking they amused
themselves by upsetting ash-barrels, ci
gar store Indians, and other high art or
naments of the streets, j When a Police
ma'ri endeavored to make them behave
themselves, they made sport of him, and
desired to know whether his mother was
aware that he was out, and whether he
tried to emulate the morning in fresh
ness. The officer arrested the whole
party. " Capital 1" exclaimed the lead
er of the band. " Let's go with him.
Its only a lark. What a face Williams
will make when he sees us marching in
to pay him a morning call. Of course
he' 11 ask us to step into his room, and
smoke a cigar with him and then send
us bomel" .
Full of bright anticipations the part
proceeded to Twenty-ninth Precinct
Station House, A particularly grufi
Sergeant was at the desk.- . ' What's
the charge ?'' he asked, " Disorderly con
duct," was the reply. ' That's all right
old fellow," laughinglv burst in Mr. X
44 where's the captain." "You've got
nothing to do with the captain; He is
engaged. Name and occupation V " But
I'm a friend of Captain Williams' why
you go must know me, I'm Mr. "
" don't care who you are. You and
your friends go below." " But "
" no but's now, move on." The door
man rattled his keys, the fron gate lead
ing to the prison swung open when the
captain appeared. 44 J ust in time?, Aleck,
to rut an end to the joke this fellow of
vours js playing on us," explained Mr.
x. " fciry rppuea v imams, my name
is Captain Williams, and this fello-v is
the Sergeant in ch.-irge, hurry up and
get into your cells, otherwise I'll make
a charge of resisting an officer against
you.- liie uiantc amazement on ttie
faces Or the" rmrty was indescribable
Seeing that Williams meant business,
7 1
they retired without much ado to th
dreary and cold cells. A messenger was
0f COUrse procured, and an acommodat
ing police justice came down, opened
court and discharged the party. Tlit
story however leaked out ana causes
much amusement in the clubs.

almost night and day to a
vast patronage. The roulette wheel
whirrs and the chips click a fandango of
wild excitement, which to the philos
ophical looker on makes it a seven day's
wonder, when he thinks of the bitter
fiirht made by Mi4. McKeon against the
fraternity, and hi manifesto' that he
was going
to root them out of New
York and vicinity. But, I suppose they
cannot be stopped. It is hard enough
to put an end to gambling in the inland
towns, but in a city like this where the
floating population equals in numbers
the resident inhabitants, games of
chance will be indulged in if not pul-
uc)y certainly privately.
Mrs. General Hancock has composed
a Te Deum which is to be. sung in the
chapel on Governor's Island on Christ
mas morning. Those who have heard
it say that the work shows much depth
0f feeling, skiU in composition and beau-
ty of . conception. It will probably be
rendered later on at one of the many
noncerts durin?? the holiday in Brook-
lyn, organized by amateurs for the
benefit of the poor.

We attended the celebration Christ

cultivation of elocutionary powers. The

and will be found entirely thchtwortht, as
