rFor the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Snow and Side-walks.
A pecuniary grievance has come upon:
me like the small pox or the scarlet fever:
I can bear legitimate losses pidloiophicall3r,
such as the death of a horse, the passing
away of a friend, or of a year's bneiness
that drew on the nest egg, or a specula
tion in oil which produced not ‘ iceordink to
the prognostications of the oily prospectus.
I have done it. Under circumstances of
varied fortune (and I have run through
several) I have invariably indulged in this
comforting soliloquy: "Hea.lth,energy,mus
de, are all mine; and . life—that's insured.
Then why should I rave? It would make
me hoarse., Why should I tear _ out my
hair? It would end in further' eXPencliture
for a wig.". _
But it is a different thing to be barn,.
boOzled out of one dollar and to see,
,
taste nothing as a substitute—the pro quo a
barren desert—no bread, no butter, no
asnuseinent—vexation only—this it is which
agitates a mind naturally•sensitive.
It is quite right. Owners and occupants
of property ought to clear the sidewalks of
the, leather permeating snow. It makes our
toes cold. How it must harrow the feelings
of that generous man who clears his gutters
to see how few of his neighbors do likewise.
I am a suburban inhabitant and live in a'
corner house. A policeman pulled our bell
on Friday. We might save the expense of a
warrant by removing the snow from our
sidewalk. It is laMentable to think that one
of my neighbors in the rear—he has . never
called on, us, - though in time, down in this
vicinity, he takes precedence, if nothing
elSe--entered the complaint, and his son
lucky enough to get the job of removing the
objectionable snow!
1. The snow to be cleared from two hun
dred and twenty4ive feet of sidewalk !—a
side Eddewalk too, upon which the feet of
„man or.woman is never seen, and bat sel
dein the feet of boys in boot-testing wan.
tonness seeking the roughest way; boys in
thick cowhide boots, and pants tucked in
like a fireman, or less fortunate boys, in ,
boots dilapidated and scanty pants, alike
regardless ' - of penetrating slop, and wet
socks (if any); boys who for three or four
squares before touching our pavement have,
it kept to our side, stumbled over inter
minablepiles of filth and ashes and flopped
into the intervening valleys of besplashing
slush !
As I sit in my "study"—my legs in easy
horizontal—puffing a splendid Havana (po
etical truth, though I never smoke), the.
smoke curling and circling about my-head,
and I fall into sweet and placid reveries, and
the smoke curls and circles up around the
bead of the statuette Minerva, until in the
general dreaminess I cannot decide whether
"ier hair is done up in waterfall or other
am i d MY eyes wander out of the ve
randah:, window and 440W11 the animated
• street, where ladies atad gentlerded. flla.sl Chil
dren are coming up and going down, always
- walking in the middle of the street like the
inhabitants of Marblehead, in Massachu
setts, or those of many European towns and
cities 'where the side walks are eighteen
inches wide and paved with corn-provoking
cobble-stones.
Having recently paid a dollar to clear
a walk which nobody uses, I make up
my mind that something ought to be
done by somebody, towards removing
the feathery deposits from two whole
squares of sidewalk directly, on the way to
the railway,that takes unwilling suburbans
"up town," and over which everybody
- would like to travel, and nobody ever does,
on account of the slush in the melting time,
and the ice in the ruder snaps. Then,l say,
thinking of ashes and rubbish one sees on
every street, is this Philadelphia? No! no!
Let us go up to Fifth and Chestnut cheer
fully. We are respectfully referred to the
Chief of Police. "Hail to the Chief!" Well,
there was comfort in his reference (for every
official has his reference. Think of their
doeuments without that antique endorse
ment "respectfully referred"). "To the
Commissioner of City Property. A com
plaint," said the Chief, "coming from a citi
zen may have more effect than from me."
Did he inwardly think that the effect would,
on the whole, be about the same? "You
can do," said he, "what I cant; you can sue
the city." "Yes," thought I, "I can; but I
won't." My way was -up a winding stair.
(Circumlocution offices usually are. It
takes longer to get round.) Commissioner
out of town. I found his substitute already
agitated about other city sidewalks;
surrounded by superintendents of parks,
who were brushing the slush from their
boots or resting from theptigues of bossing
the men who cleared the walks; wondering
when they were likely to get pay for a job
"which there wern't no 'propriation for."
"Where are the sidewalks?"
"The Parade ground."
"Oh, that's out of town! We have all we
can do to take care of the walks in this
part of the city."
"In Philadelphia, isn't it? Pay taxes
down town, don't - we?". (I inhabit—not
own.) •
"Not much."
"Oh! I fancied we did. However, allow
me to inquire if there is any sense in the
city compelling me to clear my sidewalk
when she neglects to clear her own?"
"What can we dog There's no appropria
tion."
"Nor propriety. There ought to be."
"I know it."
"At least, the policemen ought to have In
structions giving them discretionary power.
The idea of clearing a walk which nobody
uses! There was no appropriation, but the
job had to be done."
"It's bad—very bad indeed. I can't do
anything; I'm already out of pocket several
fractional papers for labor of a similar na
ture performed about these very buildings,
for.which, if you'll pardon an official ex
pression, there wasn't any appropriation."
"Ha, ha, ha! Ha ! _
We can't do anything about the matter
here. I tell you what you do—complain in
your own Ward."
"Much obliged to you,' but I shan't do
that. Nothing to be got out of that oßera
ton. If there's no appropriation at Fifth
and Chestnut, there's none in my Ward. I
tame here from the.Mayor's.offiCe and, now
Pm going back the Mayor's office. My
kusiness is not remarkably pressing - just at,
present. Therefore, jtake notie,p, (and I
took an imposing position in the doorway,)
"so long as I am compelled to clear off my
side sidewalk which nobody ever uses, so
long as I am Obliged tb avoid sidewalks
along the city property which. everybody.
would
. gladly use,- nobody care for the
slush—, just so long shall I bang at this office
or some other." .T. walked into Third street..
SERIOUS STABBING AFFRAY IN CINCIN
NATI.—On Saturday evening, the office of
the • Planters' Hotel, on Broadway, near
Third, Cincinnati, was the scene of a'despe-'
'rate affray between a young man named B:
S. Hine ' one of, the proprietors of the hotel,
and hispartner, an elderly man, named W.
S. Knott. The quarrel had , its origin in a
weidy warfare as to the character .of a
woman who was stopping at , the house.
Knott' pronounced her a strumpet, while.
Hine contended that she was a respeetaple
married lady. In the course of the dispute
ICriott ! called Hine several harsh names,
whereupon - the latter pulled his whiskers.
'The two then clinched, and, in the course of
the hand-to‘hand - struggle which ensued,
Hine drew 1 a stiletto; with which he was
armed, and stabbed his 'antagonist twice in
the.. bowels, inflicting. ,- wounds which will
soon :prove fatal.'s Shortly after the occur
rence„Bina proceeded= to the Hammond
street t police station and surrendered himself
to laieUtenant.Alegrew, • ,
Patent Truffles.
,_
'Spiridion,'.' th, sprightly correspond
ent Of the Boston Evening Gazette, tells
the following story of a French Yankee
trick • =, -- - . ,
Let Connecticut rend - its clothes fill'
its hair with ashes, sit in sackcloth - ,
bury itself 'in. bunches of onions—a
Frenchman has wrought a grcaterrnira
cle than making nutmegs out of elni:-
wood. He has given us truffles seventy
five per cent. below the rates current at
Perigueux, which is, you know, the
Newcastle .of this black diamond of the
dinner table. There isn't a truffle-finder
in. all Perigueux who will consent to
part with this edible cryptogam for less
than two - dollars and a half 'a pound for
prime, two dollars for second best, and
one dollar and sixty cents for small
bulbs . , These prices few of us can afford
to pay, especially those whose incomes
have to run the gauntlet of exchange—
that fatal raee in which dollars leave
America containing one hundred cents
and reach here wan, pale, exhausted,
with only sixty-seven cents stowed away
between their head and tail! It has been
at least five winters that I flattened
my nose and cast sheep's eyes through
Vero Dodat's window coveting posses
sion of the truffled hog's feet so daint
ily lolling in the white dishes beyond
the translucent barrier which separated
1 912eUM from tuum. Ardent as my de
sires were, they have been platonic, for
truffles were quite out of my reach. But
I hope this week to enjoy those savory
dishes, for, as I have a Frenchman
has discovered the art of procuring truf
fles seventy-five cents below the market
quotations. My hopes miscarried, and
my love for truffles, like many another ,
of my loves, is an unhappy love. ' The,
police have arrested and lodged injaii
the benefactor of people with tastes of
gourmands and the purses of wandering
Jews. Give a dog a bad name—You can
cap the saw—they gave this man the
very bad name of swindler, and might
might as well have hung him for all the
good he will do us hereafter. He had ob
served and mourned the high prices of
truffles and determined to abate them by
pressing with all the power of his genius
on the supply. He knew that if the
supply increased beyond the demand,
prices must fall. Make pearls as cona
mon as oysters, you can buy your dozen
for twelve cents, His first efforts were
directed to open a conscription in fields
of black turnips to draft their
skins into an army of truffles. He
was so successful he was obliged to
abandon this scheme. Everybody went
to buy his truffles and his sales were so
great he found himself literally buried
under the turnips he had flayed. He
could RsUt sell all of them; peddlers
looked with suspicion on turnips which
had undergone this surgical operation.
Iu fine, the magnitude of his operations
was fatal to his success. He &conse
quently looked around to discover some
thing which should be of as black color
and be all skin. He judiciously gave no
thought to digestion, as everybody
knows nothing but an ostrich considers
truffles of easy digestion—and ostriches
don't go to market this side of Sahara.
After many sleepless nights and fever
ish days and countless experiments, he
-hit - upon black merino, which would be
perfect were it less easy of digestion.
He at once proceeded to transform it into
truffles. A pair of delicate scissors was
his magical wand. He, with it, pared
and :carved the merino until it looked
unmistakably like a truffle. Did you
ever see a truffled hog's foot? The por
cine tribe has no more tempting avatar.
It is the collection of all the tit bits of
the feet and legs stripped off the bones
and delicately hashed into a homoge
nous mass, which is properly seasoned,
and then wrapped in a portion of the
cuticle which covers the fat of the hog,
and which is so thin it is transparent
except where it is veined with snowy
fat. Under this transparent envelope
very thin slices of truffles are slipped to
perfume the whole "foot" with that
peerless scent. The magician who trans
formed merino into truffles was
.a pork
butcher; his business greatly increased
and his customers were unanimously of
opinion that finer truffles had never been
eaten. Unfortunately he sold one of
these feet to a haberdasher who detected
the truffles to be only merino at fifty
cents a yard, and complained to the
police. Search was made in the pork
butcherls houseL and the truth dis
covered.
