From y. Y. Sun.
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. Then he began to pat my
head uud face. I begged him to rub me,
aud not to pat me. He said ho would, hut
no didn't,
After I was well drenched with Oirilbie'a
hay rum and dried with Adolf's towel,! said,
"isn't tliat a private bottle V
'Oh, yeabut it makea no difference. Wo
can fill it up you know.'
'es, I know yon can ; but will you?
Certainly. Here, John, don't forget to
put some bay rum In Mr. Ogllhee's lot
lie."
'At what hour do you open?'
'Seven, sharp,'
'Do you mean to tell mo that people, come
to le shaved at that hour?1
"1 es, Indeed, In summer the shop Is ful
at tlx o'clock. 'Iliose corn crackers wouh!
get shaved at fivo o'clock If we'd attend to
'em,'
'Are you nearly dono V
'Almost. You dou't care to buy a ntlck of
pomade, do you ? We havo tbe beat I yvr
saw,'
FRIDAY, MAY 24.
Tlcae don't, I'm not a corn cracker.'
The door opened, and a blustering big
man came In,
'How aro you, Sherlfr?'
'Is he tho SherifT?'
'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.
If 1 don't shave down to the Adam's apple,
he says that I am slovenly, and if I do I'm
11 danger of cutting his throat. Take 'em
by small aud large, I'm damned if those
high collars ain't worse than a woman's pa
goda.' 'Women? Do you attend women?'
'Certainly, but there's no money lu it,
They're too infernal fussy. Last week I had
a call in tho hotel. I went up t3 No. 1G7
Comeln,' aud in I went. To my surprise,
there sat a middlo-aged woman in a white
ack, a little wisp of hair down her back,
aud about five pounds of false hair, switch
es, rats and things on the table,'
She screamed loud enough for the Mayor
to hear.
'Get out, man. What do you want ? Who
are you?'
I tn thebaiber, ma'am,'
'I don't want a barber, I want a hai

'I can dress your hair,' said I, ready to

'I never heard of such a thing. I shall
complain to Mr. Freemau,'
'And who,' said I, 'Is Mr. Freeman ?'
'Mr. Freeman ? Mr. Freeman is my bu'

were married last night. So dou't you maki

'And you went ?'
'At once.'

1878.
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. Dr. Trafton in the National Re.

Prisoners (loin;; to Siberia.
Tho Baddest sight in Husia to a traveller
is the manner in which civil prisoners are
treated. 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. Poorly
clad, and apparently half starved, the wond
er is that nny, of the party should survive
the dreadful journey. A Uussiaii criminal
ondeinued to exile Is sent away with very
little ceremony ; but when an officer or
other prUoner of note has been sentenced to
be banished for life, he is dressed iu full
uniform, and led to a scaffold In some pub
lic place. In the presence of the crowd he
i made to kneel while his epaulets and dec
orations aro torn from his coat, ami hl
sword broken over his head. He Is declar
eu legally ueau, anil ins wile can consider
herself a widow if she chooses. From the
scaffold he starts on his journey for Siberia,
His wife and children, sisters or mother can
follow or accompany him if they choose, but
only on condition that they share his exile,
Mr, Arnold iu his book entitled "Through
Persia by Caravan," relates how, when pas'
sing thro' llussin, he saw a party of priso
ners emharted on board a steemer 011 the
river Volga. They were positively engrd

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.' Cumiler't Journal,

Uumaby's Hide. Sliding Down u Glacier on
Horseback.
Captain Burnnby's new work, On Jlorsc
bach Tlirough Alia Minor, contains some en
tertaining episodes of travel. 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. I felt very much like Mr. Winkle,
as described in Hie "Pichvkh rapers, tho
first time he was on skates. I would have
gladly given Mohammed five shellings or n
new coat to desist from the flagellating pro
cess. However, the die was cast. My fol
lowers weie looking on. What the guide
had done it was very clear that an Lnglish-
inan ought to do. I committed myself to
Providence. Away we went. Thd atcatn
roundabouts in the Champs Elysces in Par
is revolve at a great pace; a Blide down tho
artificial ice-hills in St. Petersburg will
somotlmes try a man's nerve ; but the sen
sations expressed in thee manners of loco
motion are nothing to what I felt when sli
ding down that glacier. 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

of some damage to the luggage and saddlery

slowly extricated himself from the snow

Speaking ol keeping liens in orchards, tho

"Last fall wo visited an orchard in which
fowls were kept, the owner of which told us
that before tbe fowls were confined in it the
trees made little or 110 growth, and n cor-
responding amount of fruit was obtained.
But w tint a change was evident now. Tho
grass was kept down, the weeds wero killed
and the trees presented an appearanco of
thrift, which tbo most enthusiastic horticul
turist could not but admire and envy, Tho
growth of the trees was most vigorous and
foliage remarkably luxuriant. The fruit
was abundant, of large size, and freo from
worms and other imperfections. 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." Ho found less trouble with
their roosting in the trees than he expected,
and that a picket fence six feet high kept
them within bounds. His orchard was dl-
vided into threo sections, and the fowls wero
seemed to require."
