It waa almoat the first time In nearly half a

The genial, bronzed old oarsman, whom all
NewYoik knew, had'pulled an oar acrou the

' Old Rappahannock " wai born in the
County Lettrlm, fifty-aeven year ago. Hia

in 1841. For three or four yean he failed

life waa paed in New York Bay. and ercrybodr
called him by the name of bin old ship.

figure on tho wator front.

it waa generally first at tho flniah.
In one of the great regatta on the Harlem,
before the day of paper shells and sliding seals,
he carried off an prizes the Whlthall boat
Champion and a silk banner. The boat and tho
banner wore exhibited as trophies in the Crystal
Palace and were destroyed when ilro turned the
Crystal Palace into an ash heap.
''Old Rappahannock" was a fireman himstlf

On tho water ho was almost a successor of
" Commodore " Vanderbitt. and. like that sue
cessful Battery boatman, ho was soon the owner
of a little lleet.
At one timo he had a flotilla of twenty.flve
Whitolmll boats and two fast yachts. But ma

died hla floet had been reduced to two Whitehall

The old boatman used to row the autocratlo

Charlea Ayors, who runs a shoe store In Main

The tickets were chances in a t&OO piano, gold

morning a truckman called for tha piano,

been placed upon it by a butcher and grocer.
Unwin claims that bii wife held the ticket that
drew the piano, as hhe had bought a pair of
' shoes and the ticket-had been given to her. .
Counsel has been retained by all parties.
The butcher and grocer claims that their bills
wore contracted by Mrs. Unwin during her hus

wrought up Saturday night at the production of

In a few hours the fire alarm bells sounded,

Waswmotox, D. C April 8. It is not Im
probable that tho President may commence a
vacation to-morrow, and however welcome the
relief will be to him the bare idea strikes terror
to the hearts of the office seekers.
If the President doea go he will remain away
at least a week, and when he returns he will
commence to prepare for tha Washington In
augural Centennial.
This would probably throw a number of lm-
Sortant appointments over into next month, and
y that time many a heart will be alok with hope
eferred. and many a pocketbook will have been
reduoed to a state of absolute flatness.

TnE SOLICITOR IOI.LOWB UP A PBOsflBINO CLUE.
Mr. Unrtrum did not disguise from the un
happy mau that the facts looked very black
acainit him. He hastened to assure Clowbury
that ho believed him innocent, but he pointed
out to him that the difficulty was to make the
jury nlso of his wa7 of thinking.
"I have told the truth." Clowbury replied,
despairingly. "What more can I do? I tell
yon honestly (hat I can't see myself how my
poor trlrl could have been murdered after I
loft the house. No one hod any reason to do
such a dreadful thine, and if any person hud,
how did he got in P The police say that there
uro not the slightest signs of any one having
made a forcible entrance, and the servant de
clares that sho.heard no noise. "
"She mast be a sound sleeper, " relied the
solicitor, because the didn't hear youco
out '
Talking of tho servant, an idea came to tha
solicitor. Shukluc bis friend's hand, and
promlsinc to see him ojwn on tha morrow,
uo left the prison.
Mr. Barlram drove straight to the address
of tho aervant. Bhe was living at home with
her own people. He found hor in, and at
once began to cross-examine ber ooncernlue
w hat was in his mind.
" Your master says ho left the house at
6. SO. Were you asleep at that time ?"
'YM.iir."
" What time did you wake up ?"
" It was 7 o'clock, sir. It was the clock
striking that woke me. That was my time to
como down, and I sot up aud dressed at
ouoa."
" How long before you were downstairs l"'
"About ten minutes."
"If anybody had left the house after you
went down you would nave heard them f "
"Oh, yes, because I vtas in the kitchen,
and that is in the front of the houoe. I
should probably have Men anybody go down
the steps."
" That," said Mr. Bartram, " fixes the mur
der between 6.80, when Mr. Clowbury left,
and 7. when you wero downstairs."
"Well, sir, yes; unless it's true that
master"
' Never mind about master," replied Mr.
Bartram, " You don't want him hanged if
he's innocent, do you f"
"God forbid, sir; and I've never been
sure in my own mind as he "
"Nevermind that. Now listen to me.
When did you go to the front door ?" '
" Not till I found poor missis dead then I

Before me, on the table, is a pair of mangled,
sad kid gloves. They havo been Irruvocnbly
spoilodiahuge rent illKflKUrrs the centre of each:
a violent emotion appears to have rendered
tbem limn. Miss Coghlan, thore gloves wero
mine, and they reached their prosont condition
last night, when their owner went to the Htar
Theatro to set you in " Jocelyn. " No; I do not
regret them. They dlod in a good cause. They
met their fate while applauding ono of the most
charming ladles in the country. Could a more
fascinating demise be Imagined ?
My object in addreaaing you, dear Miss Itose,
is not so muoh to tell you how you adorn the
stage you know that, of course but to implore
of you, to entreat you, to supplicate you by the
memory of my poor .defunct kids to remain with
us, and leave barn-stormlng to thoao whom it
may concern more vitally. New York can ill af
ford to lose au aotress like yourrelf, with a mag
netism that is alone sufllcicut to fill a theatre
independent of the play. Think, MIm Coghlan,
of the advantages of remaining in this big oity,
safely ensconced In a nice metropolitan stock
company. We all know yon and like you, and
before you utter a word you are aware that the
house is full of, friends. Tobofcure, your name
will not be in large black letters on the pro
gramme; tho members of the company in which
you appear will not rush to the sides of the stage
and leave you in undisturbed possession of the
centre, and you will not get quite so many bou
queta over the footlights.
But, Miss Bose, aro not there unsubstantial Joys
fleetiuglyf pleasurable, wllUo'-the-wlap-lIko and
elusive T To gain these Joys you must sacrifice
the comforts of life, you mnst live in queer, un
canny hotels, eat eerie, unwholesome food (and,
dear Miss Coghlan, you need the very best
nourishment that the land can supply) aud pass
your time in tho unnatisfactory railroad car.
You mnst face audiences who will think you are
greateat in the duel scene of "Jocelyn," you
must hannttqwns where It n ill be necessary to
bill you as " Itose Coghlan, Now York's incom
parable actress, who will be seen in her great
- sword-fencing act " in order to till the hoimo;
vou mutt exclude vourself from your friends.
Miss Coghlan. don't star any more, there's a

Joy; our dramatic light; ourhittronlo beauty.
We wiU cherish you in our palpitating metro
politan bosom. Wo will welcome the return of
our prodigal daughter, aud kill fatted calves
enough to satisfy the mott voracious.
I have never seen yon exert yourself so
thoroughly as you did last night in "Jocelyn,"
Miss Coghlan, and though you gave an. ex
oelleut performance, one that charmed the
audience, and ought to keep tho theatre nicely
filled during the remainder of your New York
stay, your mothods have become just slightly
tinged with atarsomeness. How eagerly you
glido Into the centre of the atage! How sur
reptitiously from out the corner of your eyos
do you note the effect of any little telling speech
upon the.audieuce,! How artistically, yet per
sistently, do you wait for applause when you
think you deserve it now thoroughly do you
subordinate the rest of your company to your
self! u
Nerer in all the time that you were the attrac
tion at Wallack's did I see yon scan your audi
ence; novor by the faintest sign did you Indicate
that you had any interest in tho front of the
bouse; and in those days any fulsome applanse
wonld, I am sure, have appealed to you as on
inai tistlo Interruption a Harmonious perform

written play, dealing in an interesting way with
the year 1630; you have a capital company

been !
"How"
The solioltor paused, and sat for a momont
absorbed in a brown study, Thon he rose
slowly, locked the servant's blotting.book in
his desk, put on his hat and coat and went
out.
He dined that evening at his club. Nmoked
his cigar, and about U o'clock strolled down
to Coveut Garden and asked his way to the
stage door.
He went in and sawUietogo doorkeeptr.
" I beg your pardon," he said, " but could
yon give mo any idea what is the best way to
find the address of an Italian singer if you
want it ?"
The stage doorkerper looked at the gentle.

" Can't say, I'm sure. Borne of 'em hnvo

" A principal."

" Oh .' Could I see this gentleman ?"
" Yes, I daresay. He's on iu the pantomimo
which is rehearsing now, but I'll send a mes
sage down."
A boy waa despatched, and 'in about five
minutes and odd, rat little (allow came wnt
ing up tha staircase.
Mr. Bartram politely explained his busi
ness, and tba gentleman was quite affable
directly.
fnl shrieks of 'woe, nor her languorous love
scene can quite shut out the memory of those
legitimate triumphs.
Oh! this starring mania! It must make the
augele wetpt It cannot be otherwise. Why
does not some philanthropist with a surplus in
hla treasury fund a home for the starring mani
acs, and oonoeutrate the horrible dlaeaao, with Its
awful contagion, within four briok walla ? What
a monater building ho would hare to erect. The
crop of stars is forever Increasing; tio sooner
has an actor mot with a moderate drgrco of sue
cess as a member of a company, than off ho must
go on a starring tour reckless of consequences,
unmindful of tho fact that he may havn
to walk home. Hays he to hlmsolft "Even if I
am a dead failure; even if I cant pay salaries "
(I am afraid tho salary qui'stlnn doesn't trouble
him much, however, for ho can always find fools
to accompany him), " I shall havo lost nothing.
I can come back to New York and any manager
will pay me a 'larger salary because I havo
starred. " And this is true. Kvorythlug tends
to male the crop of stars largor.
But, Jllne Coghlan, ou could be so comfort
able with ua! We really are rather nice when
you know us. It is horrible to think that we can
Bco you but once in a season, and that you throw

Don't star any more, please. Settle yourself

PEDDLING WniSKEY IN JRONT OP CL08ED
SALOONS AT LOW PRICES.
Falk Casssok, of 7 Ilutgers street, is a man of
ideas. He is not opposed to whiskey selling, and
yet his eye twinkled and his brain got into a
cheorful vein of thinking when Supt Murray
lamied a ukase to the police captains last Sunday
to be moro stringent In enacting observanco of
tho Excise law.
Falk's littlo scheme in which he saw boodle
was to go around in tho neighborhood of saloons
ami keep an oye on the would-bo Sunday
patrons. Not because he. wanted to make
apologies to tho frustrated drinkers on the part
of the proprietor of the gin-mill, but because he
wanted to mako him happv and secure for hla
own oompoDaatlon aouio email profit.
As tha thirsty soul turned away with a mufiled
curse on the Exciso law Casnack followed him,
and in some unobcnod spot approached tho
man and offered him a drink of corn-juice, for
throe cents. The man was only too willing.
Ho got his drink, and got it at a cheaper tariff
than he would at a bar. Besides there was the
sweetness of getting the drink in spite of the at
tempt to frustrate him In thst purpose.
C'aasack carried about a whiskey bottle and a
small glass in hUpockct. Ho was an itinerant
barroom. When his whiskey bottle gave out he
filled it uo from a demijohn at home.
But they got on to Falk's little game, and a
mean policeman in the disguise of a peaoeful
whiskey-loving citizen threw himself in his
way and then walked up to the back door of a
saloon. As bo turned away with a scowl Falk
met him and found him only too glad to tako a
drink and only ton anxious to pay for It
But the Veep." after taking hla driuk, took
Falk and waltzed him off to tho station-hours,
after confiscating his whiskey bottle. At tho
Essex Market Court Justice OTlelUy held him
for trial, -
