Snapping lai-t wet lowel willi a flourish anil a crack, tho handsome barber Rave vent to an oath iird salJ. 'Of all the beantly nui sancer a barber Inn to contend with, theso internal, six hatred, new fanglcd standee collars are the worst.' 'Is It possible 7 I should say so,' 'I thought all you had to do was to lather, scrape, and talk.' 'That's where you err. Wo have to listen. You nuit sit here for an hour and keep your eais open, and you'll wonder all the barbers are not crazy. Good day, Counsellor,' I looked up and saw It middle-aged, bald headed, fut-waisted looking man in a greasy coat nnd soiled shirt. 'Is he a Counsellor ?' 'Certainly.' 'Are you paid to advertise him?' 'I don't understand you.' 'Well, if I were to meet you in tho cars or on the street, and salute you with 'Good day, Uarber,' would you like it?' 'Of course not.' 'Do you eay 'Hello, Tailor,' or 'Good day, Editor,' or 'Take a seat, Grocer?' 'Why, no,' 'Well, I thought I'd ask because this Counsellor and Alderman and Sherifl busi ness is rather a nuisance. Is that boy learn ing hit trade here?' 'Oh, no. This is a firat-clasi shop.' ' What do you mean by that V 'First-class Bhops never take apprentices. "How do barbers learn their trade? "The young ones practice on hotel porters, country men, nnd rough fellows who don't care much bow their hair is cut, so long as it is cut.' 'What do you pay your head man?' 'Twenty dollars a week, but he makes about $'23. You we he sells oil and brushes and gets a commwion. He's a very valua ble man, llarhers differ you know.' Believing that to be the fact, I thought I'd penetrate the secrets of the ciaft and ascertain in what respects the barbers differ. There are three first-class shops near The Sun oflice, and I have tried them all. Day before r.-tctday I went down the sleep steps of one and took a seat inn plush covered chair. My head ached, and I anticipated a gentle rubbing with pleasure. A stalwart German seized my head in two huge hands, apparently all thumbs, and settlod it firmly in the rest. Then he vigor ously thrust tbo lowel in my face with all his might and main. With a very large ulade lie asstilted my beard, resting his big thumb and finger on my forehead, my chin, my cheek, and occasionally grasping tho whole of my nose. Ileing done ho pounded my face with a wet towel, patted my cheek until my head was sore, and then, with a jerk, told mo to sit up. I gently remonstrated that there was no actual need for so much energy, but it made no difference. For ten minutes he pounded, banged und bruised me so that finally, in desperation, I cried out 'stop.' As a brakeman on a coal train ho would be invaluable, but as a barber ho is a first class nuNance. On Saturday I ventured into number two, and after waitinir half an hour I was shown a chair covered witli plush, and facing an elegant minor. A iloiieuiian barber, whose hands were redolent of Havana cigarettes from Crosby street, smiled umltr his greasy moustache, and remarked that it was a lino day. I told him what I wanted was a One shave. He lathered me very well and whistled '.Martu Murta' undei his breath; thru he be gan to slinte. 'Does the razor mil you ?' No answer tilence shaving. 'Your hair and beard seem strong, but thin ; did jou eer try Hairoline?' No answer silence shaving. 'Shall I cut close ?' I would like moro shaving and lesscon vernation, it it's all tlio same to you, Ily the way, why is it that jou barbers always talk so mueil?' 'To please the customers. I always) talk one customer fust asleep. Ho likes It.' 'Has ho been in to-day V 'Not yet, sir.' 'Well, won't you keep the littlo batch you have prepared for me until he comtn in ? It may add zest to his nap,' I laughed to myself, but tho barber was angry. Presently a brisk, bustling man came in, 'Good day, Alderman,' said my mail. 'Ah, Adolf, how are you?' No answer silence shaving. 'Why don t yon unswer hluif I uk- oh 'Answer who?' 'The Alderman. Ho inquired after your Health 'Oh, ho was only passing tbo time of day,' Ho Is not an Alderman, Why do you call him so ? 'I know it, Ho ran for Alderman, and wo always call him so. He likes it. We havo to humor our customers, you know. Shall 1 give you a touch of bay rum V 'Yes.' He took down tho bottle marked 'Charles 0. Ogilbee' aud dowsed mo thoroughly with its contents.

'Deputy wo call him SherifT, and ho likes it. How do you part your hair?' In the afternoon I went to the third shop, and found myself In a noisy place where the silver bill was being dlsjussed by a Catho lic priest, a Universalis! preacher, a Police sergeant, and a reporter, The unengaged barber pointed to a chair and took my measure with his coal-black eye. I quietly laid my head on the plush-covered rest. Here at last, thought I, is a silent barber. 'Haircut?' asked I.e. 'Do men put their heads down when they have their haircut ?' asked I, He moved away with a grieved look, and presently returned, stirring the lather in a gilt edged cup. He lathered mc very well, and I closed my eyes for a nap. 'Is 77ie Sun making money this year?' J 'I don't know anything about It.' 'I thought you owned it, or edited it, or something.' 'Well, it's something. Now, keep Btlll and let me sleep.' 'I see the President doesn't like tho silver bill.' I had nothing more to say, but allowed him to havo his own sweet will. I believe he oiled my hair and parted it down the back blacked my moustache, and trimmed my eyelashes. Ho certainly tld me all about the circulation of tbo limn, and some won derful improvements in wetting down that lias been Invented by 'young Jones,' and al so informed me that he was to play Claude AMnottc for the 'Elite of Brooklyn.' Sup ported by any number of volunteers from the first families. William Wilson, an elderly gentleman, took a seat in the chair next to mine, and tho black-eyed barber who had shaved me tackled him, 'Hair seems stiff and thin on top, sir.' 'Dear me, it is getting thinner?' 'Decidedly. Do you use that tonic?' 'I did for awhile, but I don't think it did any good.' 'How many bottles ?' 'Only one.' 'That won't do. John, get mo a larjre bot tle of the tonic. There, sir, I'll just give you a good square rubbing and then trim oft" tlio ends. I think you'll find benefit in that.' Tho old man said nothing but swallowed the tonic. He was shaved afterward, and his bill was $2.75. Of this fifteen cents was for the shave, twenty for cutting tho ends of his few bristles and the rest for the tonic. In came an advertising agent, a large, jol ly fellow, who never had a headache, and knows nothing worse than to wait half an hour for his dinner. He threw open the door with n flourish, and brought in two or three hundred gallons of cold air. He swept his hat from his head with & majestic curve, and took up the evening pa paper with a rattle. He told broad stories in n 'j-fnice, and laughed so loud that ; lose h'v 1 11 Hack CasI, . al was needed. j l( "1 'r He slapped the barber on the back and asked him how he liked it as far as he had got. He spoke to every r.ne in the shop, got in to an nrgunient with a naval officer 011 the olur expedition, said that Boss Tweed de served to be hanged for going back on the hoys, insisted that l'ius IX, had been dead a uonth before the Cardinals durcd allow it n bo knoivn, prtdicted a great snow storm for to-morrow, said that tlio silver bill was boon to the wnrklnginen and served tho loated bondholders just right, and sub- led only when some boys about my size suggested that he hiro a hall in which to continue his harangue. My shaver told mo ho had one regular customer who is worth to the shop $500 a ear in shaving, dyeing nnd manipulation, His hair is very thin and very gray, yet he endeavors by careful brushing to hide tbe bald spot, and by constant dyeing to conceal his whitening locks. Of course everyone nows it nobody is deceived. The one muti who profits by the vanity of the old fellow Is the barber, nnd for the sako of his business he endures his customer's petulance and puts up with his nonsense. 'Tbo funnhst work we do,' said he, 'is to have the boys who come down from West 'oint or college. They invariably complain f their still' beards, demand a close bliave, and wind up by buying a bottle of tonic to make their whiskers grow." 'But high collars are a nuisance,aro they?' 'Oh, you remember that? Yes, indeed, they are. You see, if I put the towel down the man's neck, it hurts him. If I fix it ver the collar, ho fears that I'll break it.

Death of General llraddock. A THEORY THAT HE WAS SHOT BV A VlROt- NIA HUNTER TO AVENOE A BnOTHEIt's WItONO. "Thero Is a tradltloe still llneerinif In the neighborhood, that a bullet from the rifle of a Virginia Hunter, and not an Indian, laid the British leader low, In revenge for somo wrong Inflicted upon a brother of tho repu ted assassin. There is not a little romanco connected with this whole story of llraddock and his defeat the heroic exploits of the men youthful Washington, nnd the capture of Fort Duquesno -events which occurred a century and a quarter ago. The writer of this has rambled over these mountainous re gions several times in former years, visiting an tuo points ol Interest along the old Brad dock road, from Cumberland on the Poto mac to the battlefield of Monongahela. It is, indeed, mostly a wild region, tut an in teresting ono mainly because of the events which transpired along the old lino-events which wero tbe turning point In American history. That was the gateway through which passed the civilization that now rules the west and is the glory of our country. These wild adventurers had to do with the retirement of the French power In America and the establishment of the Protestant form of Christianity, Tho place on the right of the old National road on the western de cllvity of the Allegheny mountains, marked "Braddock's Grove," is undoubtedly the spot where his remains were finally interred. The lato Hon. Andrew Stewart, for many years a member of Congress from Pennsyl vania, once stated in the presence of the writer that his father lived near this place, and many years was supervisor of the high way. On one occasion, when they wero re pairing the road, one Tom Fausett, an old man and a noted hunter, one of the first set tlers in that region, was present. Fau-ett said that he and his brother Joseph were in the battle of Monongahela uuder llraddock, and that he had himself assisted in the bur ial of the British General. "Now," said the men one day, "you have always claimed that you helped to bury Braddock j show us whero he lies and we will dig him up." Fausett took some observation and bearings, and then, pointing to a particular spol.said "Dig here I am not six feet from his bones.1 He continued : "We buried liim in the road and drove the wagon over the grave so the Indians could not find him." The working. men dug wright where he directed them, and, sure enough, found tbo remains of a man whioh all admitted must have been those of the unfortunate British General They were then reinterrcd at the foot of a large oak tree near the road, and that place has ever since been pointed out to the tour 1st as Braddock's grave. Mr. Stewart said he was then about eleven years old, and was an eye witness of these proceedings. Some English gentlemen travelling in this coun try within a few years havo placed around this spot a substantial fence, out of respect to the memory of their countrymen. But now comes the question, who killed Brad dock ? It must have been this same Tom FauseCt. There once lived in the family of the writer of this sketch a man by the name of Leonard. For a number of years Leon ard's father kept an old township pauper ho was this same Tom Fausett, and who, before stated, with his younger brother bom llraddock struck down with his sword ior taking shelter uelilntl a Ireo to escape the deadly ambush into which the army had lien. When Tom Fausett, as stated by eonard.was old, dim of sight and feeble, he sed to sit in the summer lime all d.tv long idertbe shade of 1111 old apple tree in tbo out yard, and repent to himself over and over again : "They say I shot llraddock ; ell, if I did, 1 shot Mm with two silver eeve buttons." Thero was :iu old supersli- 011, which may exist yet for might we know at a general could not be killed with leed, but with silver bullets only, F.HKett was enraged at Braddock for having struck down is brother, and so most likely, cutting oil' the buttons from the sleeve of his unilorm, hich was called "silver" even if they wero not, used them instead of load. Poor Brad dock fell mortally wounded, and in four days was buried. He died saying: "Who would have thought it ? We shall kuow bet ter how to deal witli them another time." If Fausett did shoot Braddock, one could ardly blame him, for it was his fall that saved the army from entire destruction,sucli as that which Custer met upon tlio plainsnf the west. If Braddock hud not fallen wo ight never havo had our Washington, for he entire army, routed nnd confused, would ave been the prey of the French and savage Indians.

It is a common spectacle to see 1100 or -100 poor wretchea on their way to Si beria under a military escort; for most of them are chained together iu couples while the women nnd children who have elected to share tbo bread-winner's lot have alsu to ubmlt to be treated ns criminals.

M Cigar Kml, Probably few people in this country arc nwaro that the usually wasted substance, n cigar-end, l utilized In Germany to a largo extent, nnd with even beneficial results. We can imagine many readers wonder ing what can be tlio object of collecting theso small ends; and will, therefore, brief ly explain that they are sold for the purposo lof being made into snuff, and that the pro ceeds of such sales aro devoted to charitable purposes. Thero is in Berlin n society called the 'Vercin der Sammler von Cigarrcn Ah schnilten,' or the Society ol Collectors of Cigar-cuttings, which lias been in exlstenco somo ten years and has done much good. Every Christmas the proceeds of the cigar ends collected by this society and its friends aro applied to the purchase of clothes for some poor orphan children. In 1870 about thirty children wero clothed by this society, each child being provided witli a shirt, a pair of good leather boots, a pair ot woolen stockings, a warm dress and a pocket handkerchief. In addition to this, a large, well-decorated Christmas-tree Is giv en lor their entertainment, and each is sent home with a good supply of fruit and sweet meats. Altoffether more than two hundred poor orphan children have been clothed bv this society simply by the proceeds of such small things as cigar ends. The success of the Society at Berlin has induced further entcrpise in tho same direc tion, and it is now proposed to erect a build ing to bo called tho'Deutches Beichs-Wai-senhaus' (Imperial German Orphan Home), where orphans who are left unprovided for may be properly cared for, clothed and in structed. The silo proposed for this insti tution is at Lahr, in Haden, where there are a number of snuff manufactories, and it is therefore well adapted to the scheme, which we can only hope may bo successfully car ried out. The system of collection, which is extend ed over a large part of Germany, is general ly undertaken by one or two ladies or gentle men in each town, who collect now aud then Irom their smoking friends the ends which tlicy have been saving up. These collectors either send on the cigar ends to tho central society or sell them on the spot and transmit the proceeds. This latter plan when it can be worked, is preferable, saving expenses in packing. It is propose that the number of children which each town shall have the privilege of sending to the home shall be regulated according to tbo amount which they have contributed to the society. To insure tbo success of this institution it will he absolutely necessary forall to unite and work together; each one must not leave it for his neighbor, thinking that one more or less can make no difference. To show, However, what might lie accomplished by a thorough unity in this matter, let us say that there at least some ten millions of smokers in Germany ; or to bo much within the mark, we will take only five million smok ers who will giro themselves the trouble, if such it is, of saving up their cigar ends ; and assuming that the cigar ends of each person during one week are wortli only a quarter pfennig (ten pfennig rqual one penny Eng lish), we have a total revenue for the year 01 six Hundred and lilty thousand marks or thirty-two thousand five hundred pounds, Now, these these thirty-two thousand five hundred pounds, which, as a rule.nre thrown awny and wasted, can be used to provide 1 home tor at least thirteen thousand poor or phan children. Further, if the fivo million smokers would eontnuuto. lint once a ''ear the value of only a single cigar, say in Ger many one penny, this would male nil nihil tinnal five hundred thousand markp, or twen ly five thousand pounds, which would clothe another ten thousand children Now we ask, is it not worth while to be earelul in small things, ami In save lliesn us ually wa'ted cigar ends, when wo see whnt great things might result? W11 can only conclude by wishing success to this remark' able institution, which has taken for its motto tbo most appropriate words, 'Vielo Wenig inachen ein Viel or intbe words of the old S. ottUh proverb.'Many a little makes a luickle.'

Tho difficulty of his journey increased ns lie proceeded eastward. The almost impassable rivers of mud in the plains were bad enough, nnd the upsetting of horses and baggage on such roads must have tried the patience as well as the resources of tbo most enduring trav eller. In Armenia, however, this was re placed by snow and ice, at at ono point the whole party wero obliged to slide on horse back down a glacier. The guido went first : 'And now I prepared to mako to descent. It was not an agreeable sensation. It was on the edge of the precipice. The yelling Mohammed was castigating mynmmal from hind.

Was I on my horse or was I not ? Now we wero waltzing madly down the slippery surface, and then my boots were touching the ice itself, owing to my animal's position. One moment we ricochetted from a rough place of hard sub stance.and were flying in the air, as if jump ing the Whissendine brook ; a second later we were buried, as the guide had been, In six feet of snow. Next came tho turn of my followers. Their descent was a fearful thing to witness, but fortunately not half so dan gerous as it appeared. With the exception of some damage to the luggage and saddlery there was little barm done. "I never thought ns how a horso could skate, eir, be fore!" remarked my English servant, as he slowly extricated himself from the snow drift.

This ex cellence was nccounted for by the proprietor who remarked that the "hens ate nil tho worms and curculio in their reach, even tho cankerworm."
