IN NEW in tbe Hig (Jity. SOME STRANGE SIGHTS. Palate Calculated ta Excite Reaark flr. ?l*kr*> Art Uallerr (?mparrd With TIr. Corrornn'a?I lie f inest Hotel In the H arid .Icirmet' CicturM. IT STRUCK A WRITER for The Star who made a fly ing Twit to New York ?- oils day thia w ? # k that evcrr one on the ~ l| streets there seemed as if harrying back to findsoms J thing that had been dropped. Desiring to ?et hi* watch accurately by metropolian time he asked one well-dressed passer-by what the hoar was. The person addressed, instead of pausing to respond, walked straight on as if he were engaged in a pedes trian contest. When he had got not less than a th.rd of a block away, having meanwhile been extricating his watch from his wai?tcoat pocket, be turned hi* head without checking his speed for an instant and shouted back: '?Eleven thirty-six!" The performance brought to mind the story of the "Three Citrons," in which the young pxince does not give the fairy a drink quickly enough and she speeds by him and vanishes. Frobably if the pedestrian had been asked to take a drink instead of for the time he would have stopped. Which r< flection reminded the stranger in towa that he was in the immediate vicinity of New York's famous art gallery, called the "Hoffman' and kept by one Stokes. For the sake of seeing the pictures he strolled in and paid his admission fee by taking a glass of lemonade with two straws in it. It tasted rather strong after the Bethany punch to which he had been accnstomed in Washington; but j * hat is the nse of being off on a lark if you can- j not be a bit wicked? Of course you know how Bethany punch is made. You mix a bowl of J lemonade, leaving the lemon rinds in the hot- | torn, and after it is drank you fill the bowl np with water. 'Jbst is Kethany punch, highly recommended for Sunday schools. A SI.IGHT DIFFERENCE. The visitor noticed that Mr. C'orcoran's gal lery compared in several respects unfavorably with Mr. Stokes'. The latter, for example, hag an exceedingly handsome bar with much ex quisite glass upon it. as well as a free lunch counter. N? free lunch, hot or cold, is ever served at Mr. C'orcoran's gallery, not even between 12 and 1 o'clock. That ' this is a mistake yon would ; be convinced if you sa'w how many art natrons J are attracted in this wav to Mr. Stokes'.* 1'rob- ! ably 100 people patronize the latter's gallery j for one that enters Mr. C'orcoran's. On the : other hand, Mr. Stokes' has no free days. ! Many persons, for one admission, par several j prices, which vary from 15 cents for a glass of beer no stovepipe either?to 50 cents for a milk punch. Desiring to tackle the elaborate gratuitous banquet which invited ihe eye and the appe tite on a si ie table at Mr. Stokes', the visitor from Washington approached with well-as sumed nonchalance, and selecting a superb ham as the article most appropriate to sample first, said to an attendant in a white apron: ??Will you kindly cut me a very thin slice?" The attendant looked up in a grave, expres sionless way, stared for a moment and shook his head. ??He takes me for a free lunch beat." thought the newspaper man, and said aloud: "I assure you that 1 have had a drink and p^id for it." Again the attendant stared gravely ai.d sol emnly shook his head. Jhis was pnnfiil. bat the sitnation was hap pily relieved by the advent of another man in a white apron, who s .id. pointing at the attend ant with the carving knife, ??lie uot.-.n't under stand any English, sir." srrnuxii ax art work. So then the visitor from afar hud some ham an<l some salmon and some salad and some chicken ami some lobster and some sardines and some bhieii-h and some mashed potatoes and gravy and a f. w other trifles, until he felt somewhat refreshed, and.taking a sina'.l tongue sandwich in each hand to wind up with, gazed while he munched th? mat Fougereau's *iy,000 painting of the "Nymphs and the Satyr." It must have been lots of fun to be a satyr. At all events that is what occurred to the mind of the stranger froui Washington as he looked at the picture. It reminded him ot one he had seen in Mr. Corcoran s gallery called "The Famil. of a Satyr." Satyrs do. it ap pears. sometimes marry nymphs and settle down to a sober and domestic existence. Mr. < orcoran ? art work is rather more of a family picture in every sense than Mr. Stokes'. 1 he satyr in the latter is evidently a bachelor satyr at a summ< r resort, judging from the plurality of girls gathered about him and their marked lack of heavy winter clothing. HEW TORE SHOP WINDOWS ?re enough to make an envious person miser able. Diamonds, gold, costly stuffs and mer chandise in every form that is so beautiful and expensive as to be out of reach save bv the millionaire are exhibited in profusion on all side*. Everywhere wealth is piled up lu heaps Nowhere in the world will you find concen trated into so small a space such vast and well nigh incalculable riches, such extreme luxury, so many palat al houses, so many beautiful and sleek women, so iiiu.-h fa<<t liv ng such scattering of money and such howiing dude*. The Star man stood tor a wh.le ?t the 5$th street entrance to the park and watched the gilded profession in carriages. In enually gorgeon-i state appeared the millionaire's wife, reclining, luxurious and haughty, in, furs with stately coachman and footman on the high box in front, and the mis tress of the successful gambler, younger and more beautiful. Hut these rich New York women keep their beantv wonderfully. Women are only the fa.rtr sex when they are kept from toil; they are not so among savages. In the metropolis those of them who have wealth do nothing, are petted and pampered, and conse quently retain their charms surprisingly long. IT Coar.s num. The visitor crossed 5th avenue and en tered a huge palace on the opposite side of the way. which cost f '2.500.000 to erect. and is the moat magnificent hotel in the world, recently opened. i.ight dollars and a half a day whs louud to be the price for ordinary board and lodging: for a little parlor and two irmall bed rooms attached the charge was $150 a week without board. Nine modern imps-as the real estate advertisements sav in the shape of as many colored bell boys. sat in a row withm the threshold, all amazing dudes, perfectly matched as to tho dove-colored suits they wore and as to complexion as well. The entire first foor was a mosaic of small stones, which were made to compose near tho main door the figure of a gigantic lion. This lion was the crest or totem of the establish ment It appeared on the fnrmture. the curtains, the napkins?everywhere. Just around the corner of the elevators was a real, full grown African lion in a cage. At any rate the stranger thought it was real until he got close np to it The bars were real enough, set into the wall and behind them was a painting of the afirst order representing a lion couchant From above, in front of the picture and behind the bars, was shed a mellow I'Rht. and the whole effect wss siton i*tnugiT realistic. Ihe maiu dining room tu a work of art in frescoing and the dinner cor respondingly elaborate. Whiie consuming it the guest from afar felt the seat of the chair gently agitated by the ponderous machine be neath the hotel that run* the elevators, does the laundry, heats the house, washes the dishes, freezes the ice cream and all sorts of other things besides. He conld not help imagining that it was digesting his meal for him at the same time. When lie left the fate! after timing he timidly gave 10 cents to the bell boy who helped him on with his over coat The swell menial looked at the coin on both sides, as if wondering what it wss, but was too well-bred to say anything. Fifty cents is the proper tip for such a service at the Plaza. AT NIOHT. By this time night was coming on and the man from Washington strolled down town toward Madison Square and Mr. Stokes's art gallery. He noticed a sign in big letters that said, ? liody servants and midwives supplied." but did not fee! that he conld afford either luxurv. After spending half an hour In gazing at a wonderful display of actresses' photographs in a shop window he became convinced that the marked tendency of the stage at present is to nndress. 'Jhedress. s could not be cut lower, if they are to have any waists at all, nor could the trunks worn with fle-ib-colored tights be scantier. In fact, it would appear that all of an actress that it is thought necessary for decency's sake to cover op nowadays is what may be termed the digestive department. A PLFASANT DHFAM. After examining this exhibition of portrait* for perhaps twenty minutes longer the visitor turned away in disgnst aDd sought the Hoffman House once more, where he bought a theater ticket at double price. Then he went into the j art gallery and took another lemonade, with seltzer in it this time just for sheer devilment The nymphs were still there and reminded liim of the actresses in respect to costume. He bought a 5-cent package of cigarettes for 16 cents and lighted one, noticing as ho stood by that the men who purchased cigars almost in variably paid 50 cents for three. Anything poorer than three-for-a-balf cigars are not con sidered the swell thing in New York any more than weeds cheaper than a nickel straight are looked upon as me swell thing in Washington. BOOKS ASD PIOPI.E. The Stab man strolled out toward tho street?it was night by this time-smoking his cigarette. Stopping for a moment at the periodical stand to look over the books offered for sale there ho was horrified to discover that they wt-re almost without exception naughty ones. To make sure he looked them over pretty thoroughly, until the man behind the counter suggested that he did not keep a cir culating library. Is it possible that Sew York people read nothing but naughty books? It must be Baid for the ladies of New York that they are very cordial in their manners and not at all stiff or stand-offish. On bis way to the theater, a distance of a few blocks only, the visitor was most pleasantly addressed by several of them, who were very handsomely attired. And tho play! It was immense. The newspaper man found himself the next morn ing witii a recollection of it that had no very distinct points, but was a mixtnre indescribable of pink legs, intoxicating music, red legs, gorgeous costumes, black legs, bright-colored scenery, Ac. However, he was rather glad than otherwise to start back to Washing, ton. One day in New York goes a long way, Lite goes too fast there to bo altogether com fortable. Not Serious.

"Mr. Iloober." said the hostess shortly after ward.

CROSSING THE ANDES. The Trip From Lake Titicaoa to the Sea. FAR ABOVE THE CLOUDS. Trartllaf ky lh? HlfkMt Rtllr*a4 la tk? WarM-Paadif for BnMk Hl|k AlliU?M-Tb? ?lrr*ch?-AMnl Uinta Mid Gbmbch. | From Tn Stab's Traveling CommUricntr. i Moi.lesdo, Pebu, Sept. 10. 1 rv ROM LAKE TITICACA to the sea ia n If? railway Journey of 325 mile*, all in Pern, I' ^ over th? Andea and across a desert I n Starting at an elevation of 12.500 feet tbe road rises by gradual ascent to the extra ordinary altitude of 14,606 feet, the highest that wheels turned by steam hare ever attained. This is at a potntealled Crucero Alto, about mid way between Puno and Arequipa, and by the way some of the recent boolu on South Amer ica confound Crucero Alto with the pass in Bolivia known aa Alto del Crucero. The latter is more than 16.U00 feet high and many miles further inland on another range of the Andes not crossed by any railroad, but by the solitary mule trail which we traversed some months ago going from La Pa* to the Yungfis valley. This Puno and Mollendo railway was built for the Peruvian government about fourteen years ago by Mr. Henry Meiggs, and it cost more than 945.000,000 for the 325 miles, or the enormous average of #135,000 per mile. But railroad building in the Andes is by no means what tbe same thing might be in the United 8tates. This is really a wonderful work, and though it has few tunnels, no raijway in the world can show so much excavating or such niaaaive embankments. There is another Pe ruvian railroad, oalled the Oroya, also built by Meiggs, leading from Lima up to the mines of Cerro del Pasco and thence projected to the head waters of the Amazon, designed to con nect with that great fluvial highway and tnus make transit to the Atlantic shorter and cheaper than by tbe old routes?which, at some points, will be even higher than this one. This railway, in common with all others in Peru, is managed by an odd, but politio mixture of methods, notably, North American, South American, Peruvian and English. TBI LOFTIEST VILLAGE IK TH* WOULD. A few miles from Crnoero Alto is Vincocaya, the very loftiest village in all the world, unless it may be some of those in Central Asia, 14,360 feet above the sea. It i* higher than the cele brated mines of Cerro del Pasco, higher even than famous Potosi; higher than either Quito, Ecuador or Leadville, Col.; nearly twice as high as the Alpine Hospice of Saint Bernard, and if one were to put another Mount Wash ington on top of the present one its summit would still be almost 2,000 feet lower down than Vincocaya! This Andean village is purely a creation of the railroad, and boasts of all the adjuncts of a relay and repairing station, as well an of a so-called American inn, El Hotel Kmpresa. Why "American" I do not know, as the landlord and his wife are rosy-cheeked, hardy-looking Germans, and hardy indeed one needs to be to live so near the stars. Prof. Orton of Vassar College was obliged to pass a night here, and, accustomed as he was to the mountain air from his life in Quito, wrote that he could not sleep at all. but spent tbe time panting for breath. FiHTisa fob bbeath. Long before we arrive at Vincocaya, coming from either end of the line, nearly everybody is saffering from sirroche in greater or less degree. Strange to say, frequent passing over the same heights does not exempt one from tbe distressing complaint, and the strongest and healthiest seem to be more prostrated by it than the sickly, with the exception of ons of our immediate party, a consumptive young Chilian, traveling to prolong his span of life, whose sunken chest heaves painfully in the effort of respiration and wbone pale face has taken on a ghastly grayish blue. Poor little F., whose heart is easily disturbed from its regular work, lie* helpless among the rugs and furs with purple face and icy extremities. Several pas sengers are relieved by a copious flow of blood from the nose, and a Jolly Englishman from Arequipa, who weighs nearly 300 pounds and says be was never ill in his life except when passing over this road, has turned the color of a boiled lobster, and gasping with suffocation holds his head with both hands, declaring that it is about to burst. BELIEF FROM SI it ROCHE. The remedies commonly made use of are brandy and bromide of potassi, assisted by various smelling salta and the odor of raw onions. The natives believe so implicitly in the latter preventive that not one of them will travel in the higher altitudes without a fgenerous supply, which he cuts and sniffs at eisure, though it be strong enough to draw tears from the eyes of a graven image. When mules and horses are prostrated with sirroche the usual cure is to stuff slices of raw onion up the creature's nostrils. Many people cannot make this journey at all, especially those of exceptionally "full habit," or who have any chronio heart trouble. I have known more than one person to set out bravely for Bolivia who was obliged to give it up before the high est point on tbe road wis reached. If fresb from an ocean voyage, or after long residence near the level of the sea, the safer way would be to tarry awhile midway, say at Arequipa, which haa an altitude a little less than 8.000 feet, in order to accustom one's self by degrees to the oxygenless air. THE BEAUT OF THE ANDES. The traveler on this railway is constantly re minded of that celebrated painting called "The Heart of tbe Andes," and realizes that he has found the very spot It is alw:iys bitterly cold ou the mountain tops, and when, at Vineocaya, we pick our way from the car to the Hotel Em pre?a (or luncheon, in a driving storm of sleet and snow, we console ourselves with the knowl edge that a few hours more will bring us down info a region of perpetual summer time, to the ever-blooming roses and soft, warm sun shine of old Arequipa, the Inca "Place of Rest." Far as the eye can reach, the soil of tho higher altitudes looks like a vast bog covered with patches or snow and short, coarse grass grow ing in bunches. As the storm increases to a riiging blizzard, whitening all the landscape in a tew moments, the domesticated llamas and alpacas run to their corrals for protection, while gnanacos, vicunas and other wild crea tures huddle together to keep warm or ikurry awav to sheltered gorges known only to them ?rlve*. Undoubtedly those "four sheep of the Andes" belong to the same family, the alpaca being a cross between tbe llama and the sheep, and the guanacos between tho vicuna and the llama. THE OCAWACOS. In some part of Peru, Bolivia and Chili guanncos are as common as goats in Switzer land. Tbe animal's body is somewhat of the greyhouni build, being very narrow in the loins but deep in the chest It is covered with long hair, exceedingly soft and ftne. pale yel low, shading to white underneath; combined with the ntrength and endurance of the llama it has all the characteristic* of tho North American deer, being os graceful, as fleet footed, and its flesh is much like that of the antelope. Their skins, like those of the vicuna, command a high price in Europe, where they are in great demand for carriage robes, cloak linings, Ac. In their wild state tbe animals roam in flocks and one of the herd always stands on guard. If danger threatens he gives the alarm by stamp ing his feet, and swift indeed must the pursuer be who can overtake them. They abound in great numbers in tbe lesa thickly settled por tions of soilibera Chili and that part of the Ar gentine Republic which used to be Patagonia, where thev furnish tbe principal sport of tbe people. Every hunter who cau afford it keeps a pack of dogs trained especially for this chase. STALKING THE GAME. The men "stalk" tbe game with greatest care and sometimes (et near enough for a shot with their rifles; but it oftener happens that the timid creatnreo decline so close an acquaint ance with their natural enemy, man. If a gu auaco is found grazing singly on the plain the oliance of getting him is very small; hut when i the herd is pursued each animal tries to crowd I himself into tbe center for greater safety, thus oonsiderably retarding their speed by tho con 1 fusion that ensue*. It is amusing to note bow well tbe dogs understand this trick, and while crazy to pursue a flock they look with indiffer ence npon tbe solitary guanaco or vicuna. What is known as a "bezoar stone" is occa sionally found in the stomach of one of these animals, and to possess it ie considered the greatest kind of good fortune, its magical vir tuee exempting tbe Ineky individual who car ries it in hie pocket from most of the ills to which flsah is heir. Alpaca and vicuna wool closely resemble each other, both being very tee and valuable. Large quantities of it are exported to England, and a littte goee to the United State*. The coarser wool of the llama ie from six to eight uwlwt long, and a single fleece often weighs at much as twelve pounds; bat it ii eeldom abeared. the animal being moat ?a]uable ?? *.beut ot burden ia altitude* where horses and male* are useleea. OX THE COW5 OBAJ>?. Not a great way from Yincocaya the road passe* between two brackish lakes, both higher np than Titioaoa, named respectively Saraoocha and Cachipaacana. They are eplendid bodies of water, blackened at all timee of rear by wild dock and other fowl, bnt whether they are navigable or not nobody knows, nor is it a matter of mach consequence in this nninbabited region. For miles we ran along the banks of a river fed from the cloud*, where droves of ladea llamas, driven by Indians, are as much a feature of the landscape as camels in Arabia. Though a long stretch of this "land of the sky" is exceptionally rich ia water and pastur age (for Pern, where the face of the earth is mostly covered with dry sand), the cold pre vents anybody from living here. Away np where nothing grows, many fantastically shaped rocks ere seen, as if the Titans of the Andes had their halls of statuary ia these solitudes. ?NOW-CAFPSD SENTINEL*. As we slowly desceiid to lesser heights the great mountain, "Misti," which stands behind Arequipa, seems to come hospitably forth to meet us. Though only 18,650 feet high, tbis inactive volcano is one of the most beautiful in all South America, being a cone of perfect regularity, crowned with snow dnring most of the year.'wbile eternal summer reigns at its feet. Close by Misti, apparently, but in reality separated from it about seventy miles by the plains of La Joya, is another snow-topped sen- i tinel oalled Coropuna. nearly 23,000 feet high. Then there is Chfirobani, a little north of Misti, about 19,000 feet high; Pichupicha, to the southward, 17,800 feet, and El Ubinas, only 16,000 feet, whose latest eruption occurred late in the sixteenth century. But Misti is grandest of all, though 5,000 feet nearer to earthly things than Coropuna, probably because the beauty of its cone is not detracted from by too near neighbor*. Many wild tales are connected with thia mountain, some of them an outgrowth of In dian superstitions. The Aymaraa and Quin chuas, who come down from Puno and above to Arequipa, if compelled by business to remain a few days in the lower altitudes, which affect them as unpleasantly as the heights do us, invariably go with their llamas away np into the wild recesses of Misti to "rest themselves," aa they say, and also to perform eome unknown religions ceremonies. A FATAL EXPLORING TBIF. Not a great while ago two young Englishmen residing in Arequipa undertook to explore Miati, actuated purely by a spirit of adventure and also to discover a possible trail which might be followed to the other side and thus save the customary wide detour. The oldest was a man of twenty-eight years, the other a lad of seventeen. Well equipped they set out gaily, with no thought of the fate that awaited them. Failing to return in courae of time a party at length went forth to look for them. After a weary aearch the bodiea of the two were found, the elder in a crouching attitude, with hie back against a rock; and the boy, who had evidently committod suicide, lying at the foot of a near-by precipice. From scrapa of writing in their note books it was learned they lived at least three days without food or water, having lost their way on the far side of the great mountain and traveled round and round in its trackless snows. The man died first, from oold, exposure and starvation, but youth is hard to kill, and the lad, crazed by the awful silence and the loss of his companion, paced to and fro beside the corpse another long night, and at last, in his despair, had thrown himself over the precipice. FBOlf AREQUIPA TO THE OCEAN. At Arequipa (pronounced Are-i-keep-aha), one of the oldest and most interesting cities in Peru?to which we shall return later on?the traveler must stop over night, having arrived about dark on the day he leaves Puno and tak ing the same train next morning lor Mollendo. Along the side of the track for a distance of more than eighty-five miles runa an 3-inch iron pipe for the purpose of supplying water to Mollendo and the intervening stations, there being none near the coast Coming from springe in the niountaina near Arequipa, 7,000 feet above the sea and extending to the Pacific, it ia the longest aqueduct In the world and ia capable of discharging 480,000 gallons of water during every twenty-four hours. From Arequipa to the ocean ia 107 miles, and most of the route lies across the hot and life less desert of Islay. After descending the shoreward range of the Audee the train Eig zaga rapidly down the barren foothilla to the great desert, which it crosses with a directness in marked contrast to its tortuous course among the heights, and finally reaches the shore, where it triads for a long distance close to its edge before coming to the present pork ACROSS THE DF.8ERT. In its narrowest place the desert ia about sixty milea across and before the day of the railroad the journey had to be made on donkey back. Then it was customary to cross it in the night to avoid the heat and glare of the sun, which must have been intolerable, judging from the accounts of travelers. Oue who crossed in this manner but failed to reach Arequipa before sunrise says that "about 5 o'clock a clear whiteness appeared in the sky, the stars paled their luster and the day began to break. Soon a ruddy orange tint spread over the soil of the pampa, now become firm and compact. In a few minutes the disk of the sun appeared above the horizon, and ae we marched full in front of the god of day we found ourselves in the midat of a luminous tor rent which so dazzled and incommoded us that to escape from the new torture w* doubled ourselves up like hedge-hogs. This incouve ment posture rendered us unjust to the claima of the rising sua. Instead of welcoming hie appearance we were inelined to wish be had re mained out of sight, and it was not until 9 o'clock that the sun, now high above the hori zon, permitted ua to raiae our heada." A WASTE OF RAND AND BTONFS. Of course wo in the cars suffered little of thia, though nearly suffocated by the dust; but lean never forget the aspect of the country with the glare of the sun upon it?oue vast waste of sands and stones, hills bare of all but cactus, measureless stretchoa of sand that look like the ahorea of the sea from which the waves have ! receded?and in truth the entire section was once part of the ocean floor, from which the wavos receded ages ago. All the tiuts ot the landscape are pale in tone?sea green, silver gray, amethyst and faintest blue. There are no trees nor even boshes, except in those infre qnent spots where fertility has been produced by irrigation, and wherever the tanks that are placed at regular intervals to supply the loco motives with water, fed from the long aque duct, have leaked or dripped Into the ankle deep dust, grass grows luxuriantly, indicating wliat the result might be, even in this desert, under a judicious system of irrigation. There are many peculiar mounds of sand, white as anow, all blown into semi-circular shapes like huge crescent moons, showing the direction and force of the prevailing winds, But for moat of the distance not a living thing ia to be aeen, except at the few stations, whero be draggled women, duaty aa their surroundings, come on board with peachea to sell?tolerably fair looking fruit, but hard as the rocky hills and tasteless aa the aanda in which they grew.

The manager was Diodeitly tailor made aud would not hare attracted unusual attention, but tha principal personage waa a pug dog of filethorio habit, with a pedigree doubtless aa ong aa a Chinese mandarin'*, and such an out and-out dude that it waa a pleasure to look at him. He had on a new white ruff around his neck, perfectly clean and beautifully starched, he was harnessed in polished leather with sil ver bells and he led his alleged mistress by a slender nickel chain. His tail must have been done up in curl papers the night before, for it twisted around like a fat little porker's. There waa a look of self-satisfsction. not to nay mso lence, in hia pop eyes that aroused the ire of the more shabby dogs that he met and caused considerable altercation between him and them. The lady chid him gently when he quarreled and called him her "dear, naughty little Muf fins." TBI LKUT CLT.Vr.rn or ALL. Now, this species of dog has been one of the most fashionable for tome years, yet it must be confessed that one of the least attractive of all fashionable dogs is the pug. He lias little to recommend him except the peculiarity of hi* appearance and bis good nature. All dogs are more or less clever, but the pug, next to liis cousin, the bulldog, is the least clever of all. There are numerou* bright pugs, but they are the exceptions that prove the rule. A well bred pug should be of the same color as a mastiff, a tawny yellow like the hue of a Jersey bull, with a black muzzle. A turned up. impudent-looking nose, a tight, round little body, a tail curled like a pretzel, and short, muscular little legs complete the picture. It cannot be denied that he is an amusing little creature, but he has not mucb human svm Sathy, and does not fulfill the euds for which a og should be kept. THE do o TV A. If this particular png had been seen on 5th avenue in New York it would have been reason able to suppose that he was on his way to an afternoon tea, but as the custom of dog teas has not yet penetrated to Washington it is pre sumable that he was merely taking an airing. The dog tea was actually introduced several years ago in New York. One dog would send out his cards, through his mistress, saying he would be "at homo" on a certain afternoon, and in the corner of his invitation would be written "bones at five." All the friends of his set would come, stand around and chat, be furnished with refreshments and go home to dinner before dark. The fushion has become less popular recently because of the mde be havior of several wealthy spitz dogs who had crowded their way into good society aud made themselves disagreeable bv worrying and mak ing fun of the black French poodles for the pe culiar manner in which they wore their hair. COL. JACK WHARTON'S SPITZ. Tha spitz has himself been crowded out to a large extent and we now see few of them. The late Jack Col Wharton of New Orleans, who waa ia bis day one of the best-known men in America, had a fine one called "Sero"?the Creole word for sirup ?that the colonel said could read. It was during the crusade of the New York //frail against spitz dogs that Sero was ob served to be very low in his mind and toremair in the seclusion of his kennel a greater portion of each day. This condition continued until his master happened to look into his kennel one day and found him gazing at a copy of the Uiraltl and whining to himself because of the calumnies that were being bcaoed upon his breed. The sheet was taken from him and a copy of another paper which contained a do fense of spitz dogs put in its place, r.nd as soon as he had time to lead it he came forth and mingled with dugs and men ever after ward. This is the xtory that Col. Jack Whar ton used to tell and it must be true. A dog is generally like his master, or, as the Preach writer savr, "he conforms to the nature of those who command him. and imbibes the characteristics of the household he lives with.' If ho is a fashionable city dog he looks down apou the rustics, dog and human, that come in from the country. BCLLfl AND MASTIFFS. While the pug is simply a bulldog with less exaggeration of countenance and without the latter's sullen and ferocioas temper the bull dog is. ia his turn, a variety of the mastiff, with all the mastiff"s good qualities perverted. The mastiff is now a most fashionable ilog. While he is largo for the house he is. nevertheless, of a'calm, benignant nature, and is an ornament to any hearth rug. Ho is, moreover, of a slug gish nature and requires little exercise, and his temper is so serene that he will rarely molest cnildren or little dogs that tease him. He is a noble patrician, one of the oldest breeds of dogs, in fact, aud all his characteris tics are genteel. Physiognomist* of dogs hay that his heavy countenance is reflective of a dull mind, but it is equally true that h;s clear amber eyes are the signs of an honest, straight forward nature. THE SCOTTISH COLLIE, which ia another of the dogs high in favor at the present day, ia uot always so straight forward. He is brighter, quicker, more dem onstrative in hia affections than the mastiff, bat it cannot be denied that lie is sometimes irritable. Ho is a refined variety of the^ old ?heep dog, which ia supposed to bo the Euro pean bred nearest allied to the wild wolf, but nis ferocious nature has long sincc disappeared and he is now one of tho most companionable and gentle of dogs, just as he is one of the most sagacious. Dogs, like horses, aro the innocent cause of much prevarication on tho part of their owners, aud tho most truthful of men will sometimes draw a long bow in tolling anecdotes of his dog. A gentleman tclis tins j story of his collie, and in the ordinary af I fairs of life he is a perfectly trutliful mau: He bought a collic in Yorkshire. Eng land, and took him with him to Uoston. The dog accommodated himself to his surroundiugs ' apparently, but used to be absent from the premises for an hour or so every morning. I teing followed one day it was found that he went regularly to the wharf where the ocean ?toamers laud, stayed there awhile and then returned to his home. About six week* after hi* arrival ho disappeared altogether, nor could any trace of him be discovered until eome weeks later a letter arrived from bis original owner in Yorkshire saying he had ap peared one morning at hia old quartera. Aa investigation showed that the dog had actually boarded the ship in which he had been brought over from England, secreted h;nm*lf there and found his way back to his old master! TABU I OB AB1.B SETTERS. Betters still hold their own aa fashionable doga. Their appearance is so beautiful, their natare ia so hamaa, their hair is so pleasant to the toacb, that they have enjoyed a popularity probablv greater than that of any other breed of dogs.' 'The objection to them as city dogs is that they require a great deal of exerciae. T il,, the spaniel, from which they originally epraug. they are excessively excitable and mer ourial in disposition, but thev understand ha maa beings porfectly, and their sagacity and devotion are wonderful. The red Irish, the Laverack, the blue Belton, the Gordon, the Uver aud white?there is small choice among them, but tha red Irish setter has been the faahion the longest If he has any fanlt it is that he ia sometime* heaAttrong, but this ia a trait for which hia master is largely respon sible. The pointer, too, ia * delightful dog. While not so beautiful aa the setter he ia quieter and equally affectionate and intelligent. He comes of the hound stock and ia of entirely different origin from the setter.

ONCB HE WAS A GREAT MAN. The Former Prime milliliter of Samoa Come Back?Facta About the Islands. HAT MAN was once prime m milter of a kingdom." As he .poke the bar tender?it wai in a liroadway saloon in New Vork only the other day?quietly indicated to a writer for Tim a rather shabbily dressed person who waa taking a bite of free luncb at the moment, and added in a whis per: "Steinberger!" ''Not the man of Samoa?" "The Mine." It waa in fact Steinberger himself whom Sec retary Kobesou at lit to Samoa with a yacht loaded with arms and other paraphernalia of civilization a few years axo. Hi. mission waa to make friend, with the natives m behalf of the I'nited State, and to teach them euligbt ened Caucasian way.. So, upon his arrival, he proceeded to instruct the natives in the art of war and to organize things politically on a cor rect basis. Having established the king in pos sesion of authority which he had never thought of exercising up to that period. Steinberger had himself made prime minister and from that time on ran the affairs of the monarchy. But the event* which culminated iu the recently adopted tripartite agreement by the three powers interested squeezed out this man of enterprise, who fell suddenly from his loftv place and u now struggling for a living in New York. Such is the bubble greatnesa! During Gen. Grunt's administration a treatr was negotiated with Samoa by the terms of which tho harbor of I'ago-Pago?the only closed harbor iu the Southern Pacific?waa ceded to the United States. Desirable though the bargain was. partly for the sake of the ua equaled convenieace of the place a. a coaling station, the Senate refused to ratify the agree ment. One result of this refusal was the loss of several fine vessels and manv gallant lives not long ago in the unprotected harbor of Apia. lhe Sanioans most agreeable and kindlv of savages -afford in practice an illustration of tho unprofitableness of the community princi ple. Their goods are the property of all. Khar? and fihare alike, and the lazy man borrows whatever he wants from hi* industrious ut i^h horR. For the recept.on of the gut st trom afar an establishment called the -House of the Stranger" is provided, and there he is fed and lodged without a penny', charge for any length of time that he cares to stay. One virtue only do these islanders seem to lack and but one vice are they addicted to. lhe latter is drunkenness of a very curious ?or.. Every one has read how tliev prepare a beverage from the "kavar" root.'which the prettiest voimg women chew, expectorating tho juice into a bowl. After being strained through eocoanut tiber the liquid is handed around ln cocoanut shells and drank. Now, the effect of this drink is mos* extraordinary, for while very iutoxicating, it doe. not go to the head at all. but simply paralyze, the body tcm orarily. A person under ita lutlueuci piav ave his brain a. clear a. your, at this mo ment and yet may be unable to stir hand or foot or even to move tho tongue in speech. Though perfectly perceiving hi. danger he could not break the .pell of this muscular paraly.i. if he saw some one sharpening a knife to stick it into him. And yet the aenaation i. said to be exceedingly agreeable. A t all event, the Sanioans are much addicted to the kavar habit, which is believed by physicians to have a tendency to produce elephantiasis. When the latter ia complicated with leprosv, the result is unpleasant, to .ay the luast. A. for the other point referred to, the missionaries, alas, aver that there la absolutely no word for female virtue in the Samoan language. Incidentals to adopting the Christian faith the natives of Samoa havo become violent Sabbatariaus. They carry things iu this regard to such a point that on Sunday they would not climb a tree for a cocoanut to save a fellow-bein j Iroui starving ? A IIl'tiK <;loke. One of the Designs Proposed for the Columbus .Monument. Among the designs submitted for a stupen dous monument to Columbus to be erected in consideration of the 400tli anniversary of the discovery of America one of the most striking is that of Alberto do P&lacio, a distinguished architect of llilboa. The features of the design are shown ia the accompanying cut. He would construct a little world, stand it upon an ornamental pedestal ot truse iron work and crown all at the north pole with a reproduction of the caravel In which Colum bus sailed to discover America. The diameter of this globe ia to be about 1,000 feet. At the equator on tbeouteide runs a balcony forty-five feet wide and about three-quarters of a mile long. Around the upper half of the sphere climbs a spiral roadway. The interior ol this little world iato contain a large number of rooms, hall* and corridors; a grand assembly room where 100,000 people may gather; a library of historical lit erature, and a grand group of mouumenta.with Columbus at the center, and other explorers, generals, Ac., grouped about. Four or five miles of tramways are provided, the Motive power probably being electricity. The interior of the upper part of the globe ia to be finished as a counter part of the northern heavens. A meteoro logical observatory is, of coarse, provided Architect Palacio stakes his reputation on tbe perfect feasibility of this construction, which is to be largely of iron. Ite cost he estimates at about ?2,0u0,000. Not tbe leaet interesting part of the plan is that which provides for finishing the outside ol the globe M a map of (be world.
