New York ii not a city of homea except for the farored few. These molt be able to Invest from ••0,060 to $100,000 in «H»t ■■bu(ne~ and speml from $10,000 to $35,000 a year to keep np the establishment. I bve in a modest flat on Bixtyninth itrwt. west ride, about midway between the Hudson and Central Park, paying $40 a month rent for that privilege. The same flat three squares nearer the derated railway station would bring $60 per month. There are solid rows of residences about and being built near me, not one of which can be purchased for leas than $30,000, and they run all the way up to $100,000. It costa from $7,000 to $25,000 to furnish one of theae appropriately. Strolling up Ninth avenue the other day, I noted a sign board on a vacant lot between two residences on a side street—Eighty-first street: "This lot and party walls, $83,000." It was only the regulation twenty-four foot lot, but the cellar had been excavated. Fancy a man in Philadelphia or Pittaburg investing such a aom in such a lot five or six tuUss from his biisliiaas 1 asked a contractor about the matter. He tails me that almost any lot on the west ride of Central parit will cost $10,000 excavated, and deal table ones from $16,000 up. The cost of excavating a shallow cellar for a high stoop residence Is conriderablr.as the solid rock must be quarried. The steam drills are at it in every direction. There are six of them hustling sway within pistol shot of mo, and the dynamite explosions of the blaster rattle you up in almost any block north of Fifty-ninth street At the present rate of building, within the next five yean there win not be an acre of vacant ground the whole length of the great park. Each succeeding year makes all this still more and more expensive. Where win the New Yorker of the future live?—Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

If you hare not laid out your vacation for the season, begin now. and you will enjoy it In anticipation from now until you go. I always get a year's pleasure out of my summer vacation. In anticipation. participation and retrospection. Now s word to those who cannot spare the timft for a summer outing. It is s weH known and generally accepted fact that the aggregate results of a year's labor wfll be greater fci the case of the m»n who works ten months and plays two in the year than in the ease of the man who works twelve straight months. And from an economical point of view such outings are cheaper than staying at home; also, when looked at from a physiological standpoint, see the grand results. The recuperation of vitality and rest for brain and body are worth more thsTi many times the cost of the trip—paid ont for medicine and doctors' bills. I do not mean for you to go to some fashionable summer rceort, have your mail come from the city every day, and Indulging in dancing, bathing, dinners and all other sorts of social dissipations. This would only be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. What I mean is to (to to some quiet farm house in the mountains, or with your family or a few jovial friends go and camp out in pine woods, on the banks of a clear pure tpring or lake, where you can get good fishing and hunting. Take along your rod and reel, gun and dog; leave behind your mall and all burimaa matters. What you want is change—a change . ran the din, rush and worry of city life to quiet rest and enjoyment. Try it once, and I know yon will not miss taking a regular sum tin r vacation every eeaif it iajxwdble to do s^—Forest and

The governor has granted a pardon A- P. Gipson, who was sent from Bhasts county in May. 1878. to San Quentin prison to serve a life sentence. The crime of which he wss convicted wss the murder of a atockman named Schroeder, who bore an unenviable reputation in the community. Convicted with Gipson for complicity in the same crime were men named ”” brant and Tom Gipson. The latter pardoned by Governor Perkins in 1888, and Hflbrant by Governor Btoneman in 1885. Both those governors received petitions on behalf of A. P. Gipson, but never paid any attention to them. Hilbrmnt made an affidavit that he swore falsely when be stated that A. P. Gipson was implicated in the crime. Tom Gipson also swore afterward that A. P. had nothing to do with the murder. The man whom Governor Waterman pardoned was evidently the victim of a deep conspiracy. The petition for hii pardon was one of the strongest ever presented to the chief executive. Over 300 dtisens of Shasta county, including Judge Aaron Bell, of the superior court, who passed sentence, and other county officials, signed it. J udge Bell wrote in connection that be believed Gipson wss an innocent man. The pardoned man s about 70 years bid.—San Francisco

At a depth of 900 feet s tremendous flow of gas was developed, the preamre of which lifted the casing and 1st in the water above, producing s veritable geyser. After some days the well had been nearly ooctrolled, when a workman at the month of the weH struck a match to light his pipe.

The Nice police a few weeks ago caught another spy, this time said to be in the military service of Italy. He wss brought up for trial before the tribunal, when he gave his name as Peter Con tin, and said that he was born at A gram, in Austria. The police alleged, however, that his real name was Contini, and that an officer in the Italian reaervt About twenty witnesses were called prove that he had passed himself off sometimes as an F.ngl' t ^ ITr,>n , at others as a Swiss, and as an Austrian; that he had followed the autumn maneuv the French troops, and had been seen tt.mVHt',- drawings of the fortifications of Nice, Toulon and Marseilles. Some of these plans, together with technical descriptiona. were found in his boxes, and Gen. Gamier (lea Garris, commander of the Nice garrison, said they would be of the greatest value to an enemy. The tribunal considered the charge of espionage proved, and sentenced Contini to the ItnnTn penalty of 5,000 francs and years' penal servitude.—Cor. London News. A Soda fountain Novelty. The most startling soda fountain elty. though, is "crushed violets." The sirup is manufactured under a patent by a Philadelphia firm, and when served np with the usual carbonic fixx makes a delicately flavored, sweetish drink, which is beat described as tasting exactly as violets smell. The secret of the flavor o the manufacturer. It is not derived in any way from violet*—that is quite certain." The violet, when crushed, gives forth none of that grateful perfume which is somehow manufactured within the veins of the plant and exhaled from the blossom. None of the odor of violets is obtained from the flowers. A distillation of their juice gives an acrid compound of qo pleasant odor. The perfume is all manufactured artificially and orris root is its base- Probably orris root is the base also of the flavoring which enters into this new drink.—Kansas City Globe. A Bud !>*('• Insupportable Ueuiorse. James Brown, an old colored man who has spent many years at his life on the banks of the'Jamos creek canal, was a prisoner in the police court charged with kespiug a dangerous dog.

The prisoner had no idea of being convicted, because he said that the dog hung himself after hHbig the child. The dog's suicide, however, had no effect on the court and the old man was fined $10.

W« need not go the length of the fanatics of phoorticism (who would spell wife yf. knee nee. and write eye in the me manner as the pereooal pronoun I) desire s change in the spelling of many English words which are a stumbling Mock to foreigners as well as to natives. Die instances of “plough,” “though," '• enough,” “ borough,'' “ cough," "dough," “ought," in which seven words the lettevs night to have seven different sounds, are more than sufficient to prove that a reformation in spelling is highly lirable, and that plough out to he writand printed plow; through, thru or th. ,«<; enough, euuf; borough, burrow or burro; cough, cawf; dough, doe, and ight. aut or ort with the r quiescent In like manner the verb “to do" ought i be written “to du” or “to doo,” and the past tense of “to road" ought not to be spelled in exactly the same manner as the present tense of the same verb; but I did read (pronounced 1 redd) should be written phonetically; and I did cat (pronounced 1 ett, or I ate) should follow the same rule. Why the double 1 should necessarily he employed in the words spell, well, hell, smell, fell, and many others, while one I is considered sufficient in rebel, propel, uxccl, repel, expel, etc., is not apparent to ordinary intelligence, or explicable by any philological

and etymological reasons.

Why English writers, talki printers should persist in ignoring the [last tenses of so many verbs in daily use paws comprehension, so needless and so anomalous is the lazy and incorrect habit into which some good writers, as well as the vulgar, have permitted themselves to fall. “I hid him do it now,” ti cut tret, hut “I bid him do it yesterday," in uliich the present tense is used instead of hade in the past, is an indefensible corruption. Among the verbs which have been deprived of their past tenses and their preterites may he specified bet, to beat, to let, to spread, to shed,

cut, to pu: and to shut.

There are no grammatical or a other reasons why they should not lu been among the vert* which have inflec-

Every section of mkJj»untry is subject > a periodical raid by the slick geutlelan with the advertising chart, in which he will sell the advertiser a choice position at from $2 to $10, according to the credulity of the patron and the estimated size of his pocketbook. Of these charts, all the way from twenty-five to fifty, or occasionally one hundred, may be scattered about. Sometimes they are not even scattered about, but are printed and disposed of in bulk, where they will never do any one any harm or good. A case has recently come to our attention of one of these chart gentlemen, who had an edition of two hundred of these cash absorbers printed, and whose solicitude for the gentlemen who had patronized him was so slight that he did not even “lift" the edition from the office in which it was printed- The oily gentleman who manipulated the chart scheme left a copy with each manufacturer or firm represented thereon, collected his money, and skipped from town between two days. It was afterward learned that be had promised to issue 5,000 copies and distribute them all over the state. Some firms paid as high as $10 for a small space. He claimed to have netted about $890 in six day*. Most of his victims, without doubt, were the manufacturers who “did not believe in newspaper advertising." He did not catch a tingle retail dealer who was posted as to advertising and the mediums through which it pay* to operate. The advertising chart deal is only one of almost numberless device* resorted to by plausible but indolent feltows, who find it easier to skip about the country working np schemes of this kind than to settle down to any legitimate line of work. The merchant or manufacturer who puts his money into an advert bang chart could usually save valuable time and aoenre the tame results by thrusting the same amount of hard cash into hie office stove. The result would be precisely the same—his money would ba gone without any — *

Mr. Rusk in had been ill not long before; and ae be talked on of something be cared about, Mr. Lyttelton said his eyes lighted np, end be seemed agitated and moved. Carlyle stopped him short, saying the subject was too interesting. “You mutt take core," be said, with that infinite kindness which Carlyle could show, "you will be making yourself ill once more." And Buskin, quite simply, like a child, stopped short. “You are right," he said, calling Carlyle "master,” and then went cn to talk of something else, aa dull, no doubt, as anything could be that Rusk in and Carlyle could talk about together.— Anne Thackeray Ritchie in Harper’i
