We have received from The Charles A
Vigeler Company, of Baltimore, Md,
the St. Jacob's Oil firm, n neatly printed
calealir for 1681. It contains 32 pages
of neatly prln'ed and handsomely Illus
trnted articles, comprising tbe funniest
productions of such master bumorlktsns
Bill Nye, Josh Billings. Robert J. Bur
dette and Ell Perkins. In addition to
tbe works of those named, the book con
tains tbe sketches and poems for which
cash prices were paid by the publishers,
and much other Interesting matter. On
tbe whole it is a good book with which
to beguile the monotony of a serions
hour, and will most acceptably fill in an
hour of leisure, being as perfect a cure
for the "blues" as St. Jacobs Oil is for
aches and pains. Get it from your drug

Our New York Letter.
Reicular correspondence of Advocati.
New York, Jau. 2, 1884
New Year's Day was spent much more
quietly this year than for many seasons
past. Tbat system of making calls,
whlob in former yiarj med to be carried
on to an excessive extent in this city
seems to be dying. Gentljn en are no
longer required lo be on tbe go from 10
a. in. to 10 p. m., wandering from bonce
to house to wish their lady friends a
Happy New Year, nnd to make their
stomachs receptacles for tbe most heter
ogeneous combinations of food and
liquors and thus have to pay tbe penally
tbo next day with an abnormally larg
head. Tbe fashion of providing one'
self with oddly ehaped and ojlored
ohromos y'clept New Year's cards is also
considered bad form, and thus tbe occas.
ion is fast developing into a perfectly
resectable ono.
Gentlemen who wished to observe tb
latest decree of fashion attendant upon
miking New Yenr's calls were this ye.'
forcod to go deep down into their pocket
books. The latest edict of style required
a gentleman to send u basket of flowers
to every lady whom he honored with
call. In consequence of this demand up
on their resources florists raised their
prices, nnd the poor fellows who went
about visiliug bad to pay from 13 vo lo
twenty dollars for every call they made.
It is quite natural that nnder these cir
cumsmnces, the visiting lUts or a great
many gentlemen were very short. The
fashion of wearing full evening drcFS
was more generally observed this year
than. ever before, nnd iu cotisequcnoe
t to livery stables did a rousing bnil
uess. As regards official receptions by
tuo Hoard of Aldermen and other bodies.
there was at them a notable absenco of
tbe revelry and riotonsness which
formerly digraced sach gatherings.

that young Americans as n rnle prefer

under the preteuce if educating men as
de.ectives, and providing them with lu
crative employment swindled a score or
more gullible persons out of sums rang
Ing from tweuly.to two bnndred dollars,
shows to what an exteut tbe private de
tectlve business prevails, and when one
considers its many ramifications, one is
almost horrified. Said n promiuent
Sergeant Detective of tbe police force to
me thejDlher day: "Tbis business is tbe
enrte of tbe ace. and ia the cants nf
more rascality and crime than you have
a jy idea of. A lot of unprincipled mcr.

These fellows manage to lcaiu of it
through servants. Tbe first step is lo
inform cither or both parlies of some
alleged wrong doing. They poison the
wouud thus created with additional
tales. From curiosity tbe victim grows
interested, and then step by step tbe de
mon of distrust gains in strength. The
Divorce courts show frequently tbat the
origin of matrimonial troubles may be
Iraced directly to tbe hellish practices or
these fellows.

Last Friday I attended the Reoepllon
of the Sisters of Charity in charge of tbe
Foundling Asylum. There aro over six
hundred little ones In the building who
have never known either father or moth

innocents, the offspring of sin nnd
shame, was touching in tbe extreme.
And it is marvelous bow many of them
are Utile beantles. It Is safe to nay that
nine out or ten were baudsoma children.
Tbe Foundling Asylum is indeed tbe
noblest of the many noble charities in
tbe metropolis.

deavored to creep into bis confidence,
and sallied forth with tbo blandishments
of aatonisbment and curiosity.
"Is it possible! Was it In tbe political
arena?"
"Certainly; and a bigb toned arena It
was. You remember tbat President Ar

Christmas night?"
"Yes, but there is nothing startling in
that"
"Don t be impatient, young man. Of
conrso tbe people know that Arthnr
dined with bis Secretary of Ststo, but
tbey don t know that thereby hangs a
tale. Not a half dozen people in Wash

In Frelinghuysen's private parlor that
day. I will give you tbe faots if I may
depend upon your honor tbat my uamo

Mr. Blank, here's my bouor. (We

"If it ever comes to a denial, yon may
publiely call on me for tbe necessary
substantiation."
"Very well; give ns the tale."
."Yon .may say tbat shortly after Ar
thur and Frelinghuysen had concluded
their Christmas dinner, n close carriage
drove up before tbe Secretary's residence;
from tbis carriage alighted James G.
Blaine, who hastily disappeared Into bii
successor's abode. It bad nil been pre
arranged, and tbey met there iu conclave
for a purpose."
The Congressman stopped here nnd

"See here. Don't vex my inqui-iliie

Bl iino condescend to call on Arthur aud
bis Secretary?"
"You shall know young man, and 1
want tbe public to know for reasons turn
you may surmise. 1 am not a Bluiuit or
an Arthnr man, and I want to see Ar
thur's plau nipped in the bud. It is a
well known fact that Arthur, Blaine and
Logan are now the leading candidates
for tbe nomination at Chicago in 1884
You will remember it was reported tbat
Blaine and Logan bad agreed that their
supporters in the convention should sing
a joint chorus against Arthur. Tbe
President became alarmed at tbis alleged
combination, and sent for Blaine.
Blaine, not averse to entering any new
compact that will increase his chances
for tbe ambition of hir lire, called on
Atiuur as 1 bave said. Arlbnr, yon
know, U incited to make a formidable
effort for tbe nomination, because three
or four Eastern State seem to prefer hi
candidacy, lie is aware tbat Blaine will
bold a large delegation, tbe largest po&bi
bly of any one caudidate, and he made
overtures to him tbat tmack of tbe
republican role of Napoleon iu France,
A few more whiffs at bis cigar, and tbe
Congressman continued:
Arthur intimated to Blaine that If
the latter was not nominated on tbe firtt
ballot, and tbe vote disclosed tbat Ar
thur's delegates numbered respectably
with either Logan's or Blaine's, und tbe
Loj;an delegation exceeded tbo latterV

Blaine would trausfer bis support to Ar
thur, thereby nominating Lim, Arthur
would place at Blaiuu'd disposal the Sec
retary or Statesbip, und tbe naming or a
man for any other bureau in tbe Cabinet!
Mr, Frelinghuysen endorsed this propos
ition by assuring Mr. Blaine tbat he was
very willing to retire from tbe Cabinet
at tbe end of tbe term, and hoped tbat
tucU amicable relations conld be estab
lUhed between Mr. Blaine aud tbe Presi

of a mutual understanding."
"Did Blaine agree to the prouoU

"No, sir. He rejected it, declarlLg
