(.'oinmodore YanderbiK was at this time running a "p''i''.v-autrur" (periaua a Binull ferryboat, carrying two musts and a lee hoard) between Quarantine Station and the city, and was becoming very popular with boatmen and others who were thrown in his way. Fulton & Livingston owned an exclusive charter to run steamboats between New York and Albany, and the monopoly was pay ing immensely. Two old Jerseymen then stiir ted an opposition line, but as they could not run direct between Kew York and Albany they got around the ditllculty by going from New Y'ork to Jersey City, and making that the start ing point for Albany. They encounter ed all sorts of difficulties, however, the monopolists going so far as to willfully rum their boats down and otherwise crippling them, and they were threat ened with bankruptcy. One of the proprietors was at New York one day, when he asked old Mr. Gulon if he knew of a man who was competent to take hold of their line and make a success of it 'Yes,' said Uuion, 'I know such a man. His name is Cor neel Vanderbllt. He'll take your boats to the mouth of hell if you wanthimto.' 'That's just the man I want,' was the response, and in a little while the bar gain was concluded and Cornelius Van derbilt took charge of the line. The monopolists tried every possible means to prevent the lino from doing business in New Y'ork, and at last put a sheriff on board with instructions to arrest Vanderbllt if he should attempt to move the steamer from the wharf. Vander bllt got all ready to go and thon stood by with on axe, aud when the wheels had begun to revolve and there was a good strain on the hawser he up with his axe aud cut the hawser and steamed away to Albany with the sherill on board. A continuation of his vigorous policy finally broke up the Fulton & Livingston monopoly and established the opposition lino on a profitable basis. Vandorbilt's daughters wero a wild kind of girls. They were perfectly at home every where on Ntaten Island and were very popular. I used to see thetn in a grocery over there sitting on the counter swinging their foot and talking to the young fellows who wero chatting them. The Lori! lards had a sn,uff and tobacco business, and they made a pood deal of money out of it. There wero thri.0 broth ers of them Jacob and l'eter and George. Jacob had a butcher shop up near the llowery Theater, l'etor that wr.s the Dutch of it; it came to bo Pierre after it had boon transplanted into French soil a few months; l'oter and Georgo were the snuff and tobacco deal ers.

She will not take "I don't know, dear," for an an swer she wants satisfaction of some Bort In a moment of abstraction her papa had warbled the lines about the unfortunate MeGinty's descent into the coal hole. She had heard it hence the question. , "McGinty was a man who fell Into a coal hole in the sidewalk, dear." "Didn't he see the hole?" "No, he was loaded." "When the coal fell on him?" "Yes, he had a jag, dear." "What is a jag, papa?" "A sort of tide, pet" "Did Mr. McGinty get out of the hole?" "It took his friends some time to dig him out. "Why did he wear his best suit of clothes? It couldn't have been Sunday, because the man was delivering coal." "I guess his best suit was his worst one, too, darling," and the little cue's papa hummed another chorus. "I thought you said he went to the bottom of the hole?" "I did, little one." "Well, just now you said he went to the bottom of the sea?" "He went there, too, dear." "To wash the coal off his best suit of slothes?'' "Y'es," desperately. "Haven't they found him yet, papa?" '"J hope not," savagely. "His clothes won't be worth mud when they do find him." "1 should think not." "Did ho have any little girls like me?" "Shouldn't wonder." "Then w by should he fall into the sea?" "May-be they drove him to it, dear, by asking questions." "Ob!" Chieaso Herald. " . Tlio History of Butter. Butter, which is almost indispensable nowadays, was almost unknown to the ancient Herodotus is the earliest writer to mention it The Spartans used butler, but as an ointment, and Plutarch tells how the wife of Deiotor ous once received a visit from a Spartan lady whose presence was intolerable because she was smeared with butter. The Greeks learned of butter from the Scythians, and the Germans showed the Romans how it was made. The llomans, however, did not use it for food, but for anointing their bodies. Louisville Courier-Journal. A New York dry-goods merchant says that frequently some of the sub ordinate employes receive larger re muneration than the men in whose hands rests the main responsibility for running a business. The men who usually make the most money in the ve.y largo firms are not the superin tendent and his chief assistants, but the buyers of departments. A smart Columbus (Pa.) shoe dealer had a drawer full of faded old slippers. He hung out a sign, "Old slippers to throw at brides," and they all went i BLAUTIES OP ANDALUSIA. Women Noted for Their Small Feet and Graceful Carriage. As regards her stature and mold, the Andalusian girl is almost invariably a Stite brunette, and although not all are ump, and many are too stout, the ma jority have exquisitely symmetrical tapering limbs, well-developed busts (fiat-chested women are almost unknown in Spain), and tho most dainty and re fined hands and feet Regarding these feet Gautier makes the most astounding assertion that without any poetic exag geration it would be easy here in Seville to find women whoso feet an infant might hold in its hands. A French girl of seven or eight could not wear the shoes of an Andalusian of twenty." 1 am glad to attest that it the feet of Sevillian women really wore so mon strously small fifty years ago, they are so no longer. It is so discouraging to see a man like (Jautier fall into the vul gar error of fancying that, because a small foot is a thing of beauty, there fore the smaller the foot the more beau tiful it must be. Heauty of feet, hands and wai.sts is a matter of proportion, not of absolute size, and too small feet bands and waists are not beautiful, but ugly. We might as well arguo that since a mn's foot ought to be larger than a woman's, therefore the larger bis foot tho more he has of manly beauty. If Andalusian women really had feet so small that a baby might hold them in its hands, they would not bo able to walk at all, or, at least not gracefully. Hut it is precisely their graceful gait and carriage for which they are most famed and admired. All Spanish womed are graceful as compared with tho women of other nations, but among them all th) Andalusians are pre-eminent in the poo try of motion, and this is probably the reason that although regular facia beauty is, perhaps, commoner in Madrid than in Seville, I found that you can not pay a greater compliment to a girl in Northern Spain than by asking her if she is an Andalusian. It would be use- less to seek among land anim lis for a gait comparable to that of the women of Seville, Cadiz, Malaga and Granada; and when you compare it to the motion of a swan on the water, a fish in the water, a bid in the air, it is the birds and the fishes that must feel complimented. Scribner's .Magazine. LAZY AND CUNNING. How an EugllK.li 4iirl Wounded Hemelf to Shirk Work. M. C , aged seventeen, a plump, healthy-looking country girl, in service in a minister's family, was brought to me by her mistress about the end of March last complaining of severe prick ing pains on the dorsal surface of the left hand. Her mistress informed me that the girl was not at all fond of work, and that she had a deal of trouble to get her to do it; that since the hand had been bad she would do nothing but sit down and cry. On examination of the band I found it puffy and inflamed, and on asking if she felt the pricking sensa tion at any particular point was re ferred to a spot in the center of the hand. On touching this with my finger I distinctly felt something sharp and pointed. 1 used a pair of dressing forceps and extracted a full-sized sewing-needle, which had been pushed obliquely into the flesh until the whole of it was out of sight. She could give no account of how it got there. Three evenings afterward she was again brought in, and from the same place and in tLe same manner I extracted an other needle. About a week after she came again, and this time I withdrew a pin (which had been pushed in until the head was covered) from the same place. A few days after she came again, with her hand (of course previously inflamed from her treatment of it) very a'dema tous and of a bright-blue color, which I found she had produced by a liberal use o! the blue-bag and vinegar. I felt so disgusted with her that I advised her mistress to get rid of her at once, which was done, and the girl returned to the country. It seems hardly credible that a person of her ago could be so cunning, and would inflict so much pain upon her self to avoid work. London Lancet Joiios' Sol t-let rain t. She Mr. Jones, look at that impudent man on the other side of the street, lie has been following us for the last ten blocks. Jones Why didn't you tell me so be fore? I'll teach the impudent puppy a lesson. Walking boldly across the street Jones says to the man: "Look here, Snip, I am very sorry I've not got the money to pay you for that lust suit, hut you ousjht not to follow me up and dun me when I'm trying to capture that girl. She has got lots of money, and if I succeed you will not only get your money, but also an order for a wedding suit" Snip goes off satisfied. Returning to the young lady Jones says: "I am glad you called my atten tion to that cowardly scoundrel. I don't thing he will ever stare at you again. I had great difficulty In restraining my lelf." Texas Sittings. TWO AMERICAN FABLES. the Am and the Wild florae, and the Fes and the I'ea.ant. TUB ASS AND TUB WII,T HOUSE. An Ass who was at Pasture one day was approached by a Wild Horse, whose graceful movements and perfect free ima from the restraints of Aran so filled the Ass with Envy and Delight that he begged the Privilege of making an Ex cursion in his company. The Horse consented and tho two set out together, but they had not traveled abovo three or four miles when a pack of wolves made a rush and cut the Ass off from his companion. He cried out in Terror (or Assistance, but the Horse said as he jalboped away: "I had forgotten to mention the Fact that this sort of life has its drawbacks as well as any other, and this is one of them." MoitAL: Nature puts us all where we Belong. THE FOX AND THE PEASANT. One day Reynard approached a Peas ant who was working in his Field and said: "For some Reason or Other there Ap pears to be a want of Confidence be tween the Peasants and the Foxes." "Yes," replied the Peasant as he rest ed for a moment "This makes it Unpleasant for both, of us, and I have been Delegated to see If we could not come to some Mutual Understanding." "I am willing." , "Very well," continued the Fox as he looked at the sky to hide the Twinkle of Satisfaction in his eye. "To prove your full Confidence in us leave the door of four Hen House open to-night That will be a Proof that you no longer Re gard us as Thieves and Marauders." The Peasant Agreed to this, but while he left the door open he set a Trap just inside, and when he arose next morn ing, lo! the Delegate was fast in the jaws. "Is this Keeping your Agreement with me!" blustered Reynard as the Peasant approached?" "Was not the door open?" "Yes, but you set this Trap insidet Release me at once, and in future my Dealings shall be with more Honest men!" "Gently, Sir Reynard," said the Peas int as he tapped him on the head with a Club, "had you kept to the outside jrou would never have known of my Trap. The fact that you were Inside proves that you wanted my Poultry at the Expense of my Confidence." Moral: Give a Thiof opportunity to Reform, but carry your wallet in your Boot-leg when in his Company. Detroit HOTEL EXPERIENCES. Queer Casea of Nightmare Developed la a WttHhlngton llontelry. "Among the many queer experiences gained in a hotel," said the clork of an uptown hostolry, "are those connected with guests who are subject to night mare, which is more common than many people supfwse. It is not uncommon tor a night in a large hotel to develop several cases of this kind. In the still ness of the early morning hours heavy groans or a shriek may be heard sound ing along the corridor. The hall-boy wakes up, rubs his eyes and awaits to see what is coming, and if he is a new one at the business half expects that a murder is being committed. "We had a case not lonjr ago of a gen tleman here who, during the middle of the night, began pounding on his door, yelling at the same time: 'Lot me outl Let me out! Help! Help!' The hall boy rushed down to the desk, and, with the night clerk and the porter, hurried back to tho room whence came the sounds of distress. All was quiet. They waited awhile, then knocked. The sub ject of the nightmare wamo to the door feeling very much crestfallen. Ho ex plained that ho had eaten a too liberal supply of deviled crabs during the previous evening and that he had dreamed that he was locked in one of tho immense money vaults of the Treas ury, which he hud seen during his visit to the city. His own cries for help had caused him to wake. Sueh cases, mere or less exciting, are of almost nightly occurrence in a largo hotel, and are usually greater when the social season is at its height. The guests who got in toxicated are not included in this class of noise-makers. They form a separate study alone, and make the night lively very often." Washington Post Or Course lie Saw Him, Two acquaintances meet on the side walk. "Why. helloa, Anderson," says Jackson, appearing to bo much sur prised, "we haven't seen each other for a long time." "We have not seen each other,' Anderson answers, "hut you have doubt less seen me." "Why (again surprised), what do you mean'" "Nothing, only that five I letyou have tome time ago." They haven't met again.
