Axx time iu the past thirty-five yeare, irljca a stranger, sight seeing in Ker York wished to visit the -worst possible ilea ot dopravity in America. h went to Harry Hill's -'alliiiglit place and Mattered himself ever alter that he haJ done something de lightfully wicked. And so ho had, as far as simple -wickedness awis con cerned, for Harry Hill's place was the headquarters of toughs and sports or the firt water. Personally Harry Hill was honest, and -took good care of men's money when they came to New York on a gorgeous spree. They intrusted their wealth to him, and it is his boast that they always got it back again. J3ut bloody encounters not a Tew have taken place in liis saloon. It was a concert and dauce house and saloon. Among the placards posted on the walls were these: "Take a little wine for thy stomach's sake." As we journey through life let its live by the wa." Harry Hill always boasted that no man was ever robbed in his saloon. For all that it was as rough a place as could be, and yet from 3S51 till 1851 it flourished triumphantly and ilauut acly in open violation or almost every law of morality, written or -unwritten. How could it thus flourish? That was the mystery. Harry Hill amassed a fortune, and had the name of possessing groat wealth. Hill's own explanation of his prosperity is very simple. He snys lie bought "police protection" throughout, paid "police captains and roundsmen hand somely for letting him alone. Then he says their charges got loo stifL He went to the headquarters and charged a police captaiu and de tective with levying blackmail on him. From that honr he was a doomed man. The rest of hi life has been a tight with the police. He got the ill will of the force. They hunted him out of his old place. A large business bouse now stands upon the spot. Hill opened another resort. It was raided over again till the old fellow was broken down iu spirit and in purse. He says he is "dead broke." He is Go years old. and has neither money, reputation nor friends. He remarks xnonrnfnlh : I am disgusted .with mvself and everybody. The world in general makes me tired. We have now the school book trust. Xearly all the principal school book publishers except the Harpers liavc formed a union which they say is in the interests of the public. This may be true. .till the new syndicate iill bear watching. School looks are not dear in price, considering what works of art many of them have become. The maps are produced with great care and neenracy. while the best book artists in the couutry, those who do the pictorial work for the leadin, magazines, design the illustrations for school readers. For all this publish era ought to get a paying price. The new trust control 73 per cent, of the school book trade. "We will trust their word, for a while at least, that the new school book syndicate will make prices as reasonable ;is possible. It they do not there will bo ways of making it so hot for thorn that they wiu wisu uiey nau never lieam oi a school book. It is notable that at almost every national convention at which a large body of men gather the members are isbocked and saddened by the death of some of their number. It is rare that a presidential convention meets thai one or more members do not die, either during its sessions or immedi ately following, the death resulting in some way from excitement or expos- Tare attendant on the meeting. This is trse even of national medical conven tions. This year Rev. James Lamb, ;: Relegate to the Presbyterian general assembly, died suddenly even before fee reached the meeting, on his v,a tkither. GonxEMi university has dropped ts professorship of journalism. The sabgect was loo vast and too tough for it to bold up. The best school or joHraalism consists in sitting up nights te ran to fires, and writing one's most gorgeous opinions out with all the flowers or rhetoric and then have the Tmwiging editor draw a blue pencil &rogh it and say: ''We want facts. Desk your opinions." In a school Kke that the ambitious young man or woman journalist develops rapidly. Soxe economists are hard to please. Tkey have written about the amount ot Mortgages on American real estate betag so great that it was impossible to ascertain the sum total, and now that asoftg the questions a .man must answer whether he-is mortgaged they say sch inquiries are an unwarrant able interference with private busi- Becauseits owners are 0L1YEB STEWART, Pres.

It is that if a passage through the ice around the north pole were blasted out with dynamite the warm water from the south would rush through the passage and keep it open. This would be a short cut between the Atlantic and Pacific, and new lands and fisheries would be opened. The New York 2'ribanc has made a dicovcry that the sweet girls of Yas sar and Smith colleges are free trad ers. Bnt that is easily offset by the views of the married women of the couutr, who go in powerfully for protection, of course. Tun goat extracts nutriment from tomatoe cans, and a German chemist has discovered a way of extracting from eolten seed meal a sugar said to be fifteen times sweeter than cane sugar. .'IAIIIN'1' XEAVS AND NOTES.
