A WESTERNER IN NEW YORK.
LOOKING! FOR WORK.
1 arrived io New York last autumn,
writes Prancis Xavier to the Pittsburg
Jucening Chronicle, writes Francis little
monej, a small stock of clothes, and un
limited dreams of future prosperity.
The first day after my arrival I arrayed
myself as neatly as possible and sallied
forth armed with my letters of iotroduc
tion. JMy first call was on a wealthy
banker, with whom my father was once
well acquainted ; and on his kind recep
tion and patronage I had built my fairest
" Chateaux en Epagoe." Vain hopes
and foolish dreams; with his blandest
smile the worthy gentleman read my
letter, shook my hand, and informing me
that " they really had no openiiisr," wish
ed me good morning and bowed me out
How I got out I hardly remember, but I
have an indistinct idea of marble steps
and plateglass doors opening on to Wall
street with its busy tide of men hurrying
in all directions.
Pluckiog up my courage, I struck out.
for the second gentleman on my Iist,
whose place of busiuess was not far from
Stewart's' retail warehouse, but this
interview was a repetition of the first,
only, as the saying is, ' wore so."
Somewhat abashed by my unhappy ex
perience, I pondered over my two remain
ing letters and settled on the one I would
next use.
I had prided myself somewhat on this
letter, as it was written by the Mayor ol
our towu, who had remembered an old
acquaintance ot his living in the . great
city. ' IJut this proved the most uuhnppj
matter I had to encounter. My worthy
patron, anxious to do me a kindness, had
evidently forgotten the nature of his
younger acquaintance, or time had chang
ed the man, who was once a poor gentle
man, to a rich, unmannerly boor. Present
ing my letter in a somewhat flushed way,
I waited anxiously the result of the
perusal of the document. My fears were
not groundless, lor no sooner had he
finished reading the letter than he tossed
it iuto the. stove. Then turning to me,
made the following cutting 6peech :
" Young man, if you expect that letter to
do you any good you are mistaken. There
is the door."
My patience could have borne the re
mark it only made to me ; but the tIur on
my good f riend ' was more than I could
bear. " Sir," said I, 44 Mr. M is a
gentleman, which is more than jou are,"
aud turning round, - I walked out of his
torc.
These little experiences were enough,
I thought, for one day, so I amused my
sell during the afternoon by reading the
papers and strolling down Broadway.
Next morning was damp and cold, and
its drear chilliness combined with the
boarding - house hash to make me
tboroul g'y wretched.
Wretched ! About 11 o'clock I gather
ed courage to call' on the last gentleman
to whom I had a letter, and my reception
was such as to make up, in a great measure,
for the coldness I' had previously met
with.
Good, kind-hearted man, though he
had only advice and direction to give, he
gave it with the best intentions and in the
kindest manner. After giviog me a desk
in his fniall office, where I could conduct
my correspondence, he proceeded to in
troduce me to a number of his business
friends, and alo to the exchanges, where
I could find the papers, etc. In answer
ing advertisements I had some rather
strange experiences, some of which I shall
never forget.
The first strange adventure I had was
in cousequeoce of answering an advertise
ment for, a corresponding clerk. Calling
at the place mentioned. I was admitted
by a Jewish looking man to an ordinary
office,' up two flights of stairs, io a row of
buildings near Printing House Square
After a tedious catalogue of questions and
considerable higgling over the small
salary I asked, I engaged with him at my
own' terms. Explaining that the cor
responding would be io the afternoon,
Mr. Ebeoezer requested that I would ira
mediately busy myself at balancing up a
set of bonks, which seemed principally to
record money operations on notes, and
extended back some time.
I was busy at them when the Jew went
out, saying he would return shortly, and
during his absence I inspected the two
offices, and could not determine from the
few papers in the drawers and desk what
business my new employer was engaged
in. In about an hour he returned with
a large package of letters, all of which I
noticed contained money. As soon as he
had opened and emptied them of their
contents, Ebenezer set me to directing a
u umber of envelopes, iuto which bo placed
a sheet of paper having on it the sentence,
"Mind your own business."
At first I was at a loss to comprehend
the meaning of this age advice, but read
ing one of the letters to which the circu
lar was an answer, I saw at once what it
meant. The letter ran thus : 4E. F. G.,
Uox , New York. Sir : Please send me
the "Secret of Fortune" you advertised.
Enclosed is one dollar." We sent over
a hundred pf these circulars that even
ing, mostly to youthb io country places,
and many, shall I say, to young ladies.
At seven o'clock the Jew closed up,
and enjoining me to come early in the
morning, left me. '
On the following morning I held a con'
aultatioo with my friend, the result of
which was my tasking s deposition before
the magistrate, which ended io the Jew's
arrest the same day.
The next week dragged along, during
which time I answered a number of ad
vertisements, but owing to my iguorance
of the German language or the business
called for, I was unable to find employ
ment. One evening, turning over the leaves
of a pictorial paper, the following adver
tisement caught my eye : "Persons hav
ing their evenings unoccupied can find
highly lucrative employment by calling
at No. Broadway, between eijjht and
nine p. m." I took a viev: of the place
next afternoon, and seeing the business
like nam 3 of Jones & Co. on the door,
called the same evening. What was my
horror on going into the room to find that
I was iu a gambling hell, and this chang
ed to consternation when I fouud that
the door opened only from the outside,
unless unlocked with a latch key. A
dark, sinister looking man, a very beau
ideal of a gambler, came forward and ask
ed what I wanted. In the firmest man
ner I could assume I ioformed him that
had mistaken the room and was seek
ing employment. With a laugh he took
me by the arm and drew me iuto a cir
cle round an extempore bar at the room,
where he introduced me to a crowd as 4,a
young cock from the country looking for
work" a speech which amused the ruf
fian crew exceedingly.
One of them suggested that if I was
looking for work I must have some "char
acter," and then proceeded to rifie my
pockets of their contents. Another, who
seemed to have had at one time au educa
tion, read all the papers I had, making
ludicrous remarks on them as he went
on. I submitted with the best grace I
could until he came to the last, which
was a letter I had just received from
home, when, as he began it, I sprang for
ward, snatched it from his hands, and
tore it into fragments.
Finding that they could get no more
amusement out of me, I was told to take
a seat and wait awhile ; nor could all my
entreaties prevail on them to let me go,
as they were afraid that I would inform
the police.
I took a scat resolved to make the best
of it, and proceeded to take a mental in
ventory of the place and its occupants.
It was a large whitewashed room, evi
dently not long occupied, for the walls
were clean and the floor had recently
been scrubbed. A uumber of tables stood
round the room, leaving a passage down
the centre to thj end, where a long coun
ter was used as a bar. The players nat
round these tables, and cries of "Keno !"
and 44 game !" followed by oaths and calls
for more drink, mingled with the click of
couuters and the rattle of dice. Hour
after hour passed- away; the vitiated
atmosphere made me exceedingly drowsy,
and, notwithstanding my good resolu
tions, I fell asleep.
How long I slept I cannot tell, but I
awoke with a start at hearing a great
hammering at the door, succcedel by two
reports, and amid the smoke I saw men
and police struggling before me. In a
few moments comparative quiet ensued,
some of the men had escaped, while those
remaining were handcuffed aod marched
downstairs. I shared their fate, orna
meuted by steel bracelets. I was escort
ed to the Tombs and locked up iu the
same room as the gamblers. Utterly mis
erable and exhausted, I sank down and
wished to die. Not so, however, my
companions, who joked aod laughed as
though they were at a circus. The weary
hours crept along, till a sickly yellow
light through thewindow and a rumbling
noise outside, proclaimed that day had
dawned aod man had once more com
menced the business oi life. At last we
were brought belore the Judge or Record-
a " n .
er, ana l got an opportunity ot statiug
my case and proving it in the best way I
could, so His Worship gave me a most
paternal warning and let me go.
Great was the consternation when I
arrived at my boarding house, pale and
haggard, my worthy landlady anxious to
kuow what dreadful evil had befallen
me, and very sagely shaking her head
when I declined to enter into particulars.
I had got quite a shock with my night s
adventure, aud was not myself lor several
days, when seeing that my prospects there
of future success were not very bright, I
said good-bye to New York and struck
out for the West.

ing received the official sanction of Gov
ernor Geary, hap become a law :
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That
from and after the passage of this act. it
shall not be lawful for any person in this
commonwealth to sell liquors or give
away to be used as a drink any spiritous
or malt liquors, wine or cider, or any

Important to School Directors.
We copy the lollowing from the late
school law, for the information of some
of our school boards, that they may know
what the law requires of them :
It Pl.all be the duty of the board of
directors to publish an annual statement
of the amount of moneys received and ex
pended, and the amouot due from collec
tors, aud setting forth all the financial
operations of the district, by one or more
publications in one or more new papers
of the county in which they reside. If
there is an amount of tax not collected,
or any amount due to the district it is to
be stated as "amount yet due," at the
foot of receipts, aod so carried out ; and
if there is au amount of debt yet due by
the district, it is to be stated as "amount
yet due for ," and so carried out at
the foot ol expenditures ; in order, in both
cases, to balance the account in accord
ance with the facta. If there was a build
ing tax and house or a houses erected dur
ing the year, the amount of the building
tax, and of the portion of it expended in
the year for this purpose, is to be stated
io the same way, with the balance on
hand, or the next for this purpose, if any,
under proper heads "Receipts, and Ex
penditures for Buildings," as in case of
ordinary school tax and expenditure.
In-Growing T03 Naila.
The most painful of the diseases of the
nails is caused by the improper manner
of cuttng the nail (generally of the great
toe), and then wearing a narrow, badly
made shoe. The nail beginning to grow
too long, and rather wide at the corner,
is often trimmed around the corner, which
gives temporary relief ; but it then be
gins to grow wider in the side where it
was cut off ; and, as the shoe presses the
flesh against the corner, the uails cuts
more and more into the raw flesh, which
becomes excessively tender and irritable.
If this state continues long, the too bo
comes more aod more painful and ulcer
ated, and fungus (proud flesh) sprouts
up from the sorest points. Walking
greatly increases the suffering, till posi
tive rest becomes indispensable. Begin
the effort at cure by simple application
to the tender part, of a small quantity of
tincture of perchloride of iron. There is
immediately a moderate sensation of pain,
constriction, c buruiug. In a few min
utes the tender surface is felt to be dried
up, tanned," or mummified, and it ceases
to bo paiuful. The patient, who before
could not put his foot to the floor, now
finds that he can walk upon it without
pain. By permitting the hardened, wood
like flesh to remain lor two or three
weeks, it can easily be removed by soak
ing the foot in warm water. A uew aud
healthy structure is found, firm and solid,
below. If theieafter the naiU be no more
cut around the corners or sides, but al
ways curved in across the front, they will
iu the future only grow straight forward;
and by weaving a shoe of reasonably gtod
size and shape, all further trouble will be
avoided.
The Lost Races.
A writer iu the Missouria Republican,
discussion questions suggested by the
"relics of lost races," arrives at the fol
lowing conclusion regarding the pre his
torio occupants of the Mississippi Valley;
1. The primatives of America were uot
oxotic, but indigenous. 2. The race
known as mound builders were Red lo
diaos iu every essential particular, like
those now inhabiting the . territories. 3.
Of the ten thousand mounds in the Wes
tern, Middle and Southern States, less
than five hundred are the product of hu
man agcucy. 4. The highest poiuts of
art attained by the mound builders only
exceeded the use of stone implements by
a very limitted manipulation of native cop
per, and a part from their extreme ad
vancement is marked by earth works, un
glazed pottery, and the simplest aborig
inal soil tillage. 5. They had no system
of worship or ideas of theology more ele
vated thau such as are entertained by the
hunter of the tribes of the present day.
A French paper asserts that 7 per cent,
of -lunatics are made so by the employ
taent of hair dye.
SETTING OUT CABBAGE PLANTS.
Plants which havo been raised in a hot
bed may now be set out. If none have
been raised at home, they can be had
probably of others better situated or more
thoughtful Assumioh that such plants"
are obtaiued, the soil must by made very
rich to grow good cabbages. The cab
bage is a gross feeder, and thrives
vigorously on highly nitrogenized food.
Strong concentrated manures are there
fore those which are adapted to the growth'
of cabbage. Dig the ground over care
lully it should be deep and of a loamy
texture, aod rather moist than dry rake
all fine, and choosing, if possible, a moist
or cloudy day ; set out the plants in rows
runaiog north aod south, three feet by
two and a half feet apart. If, however,
at the time of planting, or subsequently,
the weather should prove dry, water the
plants every evening after sunset, until
rain occure. Maryland Farmer.
Cucumbers. Let all who" love the
crisp, fresh taste of early, well grown
cucumbers, understand that they can be'
had io abundance by the fourth of July,
with a little extra pains. To attain this
result, take a square cut sod four inches'
thick, invert it, and plant 3 or 4 seeds'
around the center of a six inch square-on
the earth side. Make as many hilU as
you wish, allowing six inches of sod to
the hill. Place the whole in a warm
place indoors, and the plants will soon ap
pear. Keep them well watered, and when'
all danger of frost is over, transplant to'
the garden io rich soil, leaviug the hills
four feet apart each way. When they
begin to run, thin them out, leaving only
two vines in each hill. Water with liquid'
manure, and sprinkle the vines with the
same copiously to keep off the striped bug.
Cucumbers properly used are not un
healthy. The above method of starting
plants is a good one, aud will apply to
melons, peppers, tomatoes, and most other
plants that need a little hastening in our
climate.
An exclusive diet of ordinary vegeta
bles is not favorable to man's full bodily
or mental development ; but bread may
form almost the sole food with benefit, as
the gluten of wheat is as well adapted to
the uutrition of the body as is the flesh
of animals On the other hand, an
exclusive animal diet is the least econo
mical of all, as it scantily supplies the
materials for respiration : 15 lbs. of flesh'
contains uo more carbon than 4 lbs. of
starch ; so that a person with an equal
weight of meat and starch could support
life very much longer than one restricted
to the same weight of flesh alone. Thus,
we see the great advautage in point of
economy of food, of a fixed agricultural
community over wandering tribes of
hunters.
A Horse Advertisement-
A man in Wisconsin advertises x
horse for pale, and thus discourses :
Thou canst trust thy labor to Vm for
his strength is great.
Thou canst bind him with thy hand
in tho furrow ; he will harrow the valleys'
after thee.
He will gather thy seed in the barn.
His trength is terrible, in which he re
joices. He paweth the valley, and waxeth
proud in his peed.
He mockcth at fear, neither turneth'
hi.s back from two hobgobliJ.
Lo ! how he moveth his tail like a
cedar ? His sinews are as cables.
His bones are like strong pieces of
brass yea, like bars of iron.
He eateth grass like an ox. Behold,
he driuketh up a river; and trusteth that
he ran draw up Jordan in his mouth.
Who can open the door of his face?
yet thou canst approach him wilh a
bridle. His teeth are terrible round
about
I will nor counsel his parts, nor his"
power, nor his comely proportions. .
