SHADOW OF A NAME.
BAMY PAINE'S TRIBUTE TO THt
MEMORY OF CHARLES CHADBANO.
MbM-rles nt a Talented Man Who Bore the
fninnniio of One of IMekens' Celebrated
Characters Wrote Brilliantly, but
Wonlit Hot fnhlLh.
At 4 o'clock on thrtmnruine: of Enstnr

With tho liiunn of C'limllmiiil, thank
to DiokMi, thn ri'mlliiu world I fimill

leoted the unnio of Chndlmnd for 111
Impostor wns the cimsh of the tlenth of
Chiirlr (Jhnriuatiil. It wm not. Ho died
of nt) ordlnnry dlscitse consumption,
In flint. Hut Unit unhiippy ucoldniit did
overshadow the whole of C'hiirlei Chnd
band' life. It did prevent him from
taking the place nud fume to which he
wax Justly entitled. It linn prevented
the pcneral public, from rending one "In
gle lino of 111" very excellent worki.
An his literury eieentnr I have had
no choice hut to dentroy every line of
hid mnuuHcript, In accordance with hi
orders. Not n Hingln copy hn becu
taken, and not one word of hi work
that hi friend remember may be com
mitted to writing. I do not easily be
lieve in the existence of geuins, but I
believe that Oniric Chadband had
genius. Home, far more competent to
jndgo than I am, thonuht tho same. Ai
I wntched tlin Inst spark die out in the
big pile of burned paper it seemorl a
pity thnt ho much work and such won
derful gifts should be all wasted for
inch a stupid, ignoble, maddening ron
ton bpcntiso tho author had Inherited
thn name of n character in Dickens.
He wn very sensitive, but, unlike
most very scmdtlve men, ho wn not
affected or vniu. When I was first in
troduced to him, he said, laughing,
that he was no relation to the original
Ohndbaud. He reveled In Dickens nnd
would quote tho original (Jhadband
freely. I had known him a long time
before I knew that the coincidence of
the name gave him any trouble at all.
It wm long before I could make out
why he would not publish anything.
He used to give the most absurd reason
for hi reticence, nud when driven into
a corner be would say that he was going
to publish, bat not yet. One night,
when I had Just finished a long story of
hi, I implored him to lot me take it
away with me to Loudon and ee what
could be doue. "No," he said. "No
body would publish it " I told him that
it might be refused by five men out of
iz, but that the siith would afterward
be proud that he had aocepted it.
Then, quite unexpectedly, the secret
came out. "No serious work," he laid,
"could possibly do anything associated
with the name of Chadband. " He said
It io light heartedly that I thought he
Was onoe more putting me off with a
wrong reason, but I soon found that he
wu sincere. He imagined reviewer
making jest about hi name and owned
that he would not be able to stand it
This surprised mo, for he frequently
joked about hi name himself, and w
did hi friend. He defended himself.
"That's different," he mid. "That
! in conversation, among men that I
know. But I could not have some vul
gar brute who did not know me at all
doing the same thing in cold print It
would present my stuff from the wrong
point of view. No, the association of
the name are too strong. If yon are
called Chadband, yon are called Chad
band, and there's an end of it You
may do what you like in private, but
you can come before the publio only as
n intemperate, hypocritical, delioious
is, and in no other character what
ever. "
He wonld not bear of pseudonym
or of anonymity. If his work succeeded,
the secret wonld be found out, and he
would be ashamed. If it did not uo
oeed and he did not think it would
it wa not worth his while to add to
the annual output of bad books. "Why
make all this fus about nothing?" I
aid, angry with bis obstinacy. "If yon
thiuk it matters one straw though it
does not obange your name once for
all and be doue with it " He said that
it would be sheer eowardioe, and he
oould not dream of it -
Very unfortunately, he had private
means. Poverty might have driven him
to overcome his sensitiveness and ' to
publish. Had he doue so it would have
been curious to watch the growth of an
entirely new set of associations around
the name Chadband. I think be was
strong enough to have redeemed the
nam a
He was unmarried said that he did
pot believe in the hereditary principles
s applied to jokes. His real reason for
not marrying wai, of oourie, the dis
ease of which be died. He worked ex
ceedingly hard, and, as be knew, to no
purpose. He would not own that he
took pleasure in hi work. "No," he
aid, "it's like smoking I get no pleas
ure from it, but I should, miss it if I
gave it up. " Ho took enormous pains
with his work and finished it as thor
oughly us though it were to constitute
his appeal to the world on the follow
ing day. He kept the final copy of
everything he approved, but bis in
structions were that it was all to be
, bnrned as soon a possible after his
death. Barry Pain in Black and White.
Making- Antiques.
In o ouse before a London magistrate
the question was as to the ownership
of some antique ormolu articles, and
two workmen, who stoutly claimed the
ortioles, said that they "made" them.
To prove their assertion they set to
. work iu oourt and showed how ormolu
, was made "antique" with pumioe
powder.
8TREET CAR CONDUCTORS.
thrf Work Harder sad Rata Lower Tnaa
Their Meant Knad llrnther.
Yon often think it's hard fur thn pan
longer conductor of nil accommodation
trnln which top nt two or throe sta
tions to the mile, to tell who has paid
hi fitre nnd who has not. Thn conduct
or of a short run accommodation train
tspcclnlly must be a peculiarly gifted
Man. He must be nt mice both cool
lieaded nnd even tempered, or if not bo
I a total failure.
But if thn requisite of a railroad
onndiietor lire such, whnt urn tho re
quirement of thn man who runs a com
mon street car? Why, ns much n those
of tho rnilrond mini nnd several times
morn. Tho railroad accommodation con
ductor oil one of tho short run train
which lenve thn big cities ha little
morn work, little more responsibility
and require less real skill tliau the man
who by grace i called "conductor" on
a trolley car of one of onr cities.
Both men, of course, have thousands
of rare. Tho rnilrond man has a certain
number of stop to make and a certnin
schedule time allowed for getting over
hi run of tho railroad The street oar
conductor has au unonrtnlu number of
stop to make, yet he still ha hi cer
tnin scheduled tiuio to make ou hi run,
nnd he must mnkn It, too, or be nbln to
givn an "A No. 1" exouso for failure.
Tho railroad conductor I alway thn
biggest man on hi train. I ever thn
street enr conductor the biggest, unless
every pnssonger I off nnd the niotormiui
nlsnf These things make It hard for thn
patient man, who must be polite and
who I expected by the company for
which he work and spurred on by a
dozen or so sharp eyed "spot tera, " or
"street car detective," a thoy call
thoiuselve, to fenl a lovely a a spring
morning, nud they make hi already
nervous work donbly so. The railroad
conductor doesn't meet that pliaso of
existence ouoe in a decade, or if so not
any of teller
No one presume to expect so ranch
from tho knight of the ticket punch as
ho doe from the knight of the trolley
rope Every one who travels on street
oar expect the conductor to know
every cross street on hi line nnd Just
whore it strikes that stroet, and, in
deed, ho should know thi much, hut in
addition he is expected to know every
one who live on the street along
which hi line run, every one who
livo on all the counties street which
cross the route of bi car aud then all
the immediate streets and their inhabit
ant the whole length of hi line. The
stroet cur conductor I expected to be
porter a well on his car. Ho must help
peoplo on and off, lift up aud lift
dowu huge baskets and bundle, never
got tired of all the questions which
only the city directory oould answer,
and then, in addition, keep all of the
strict rulos of the company for which
be works and see to it that all of hi
passenger do so too For thi work he
get f3 or 13.28 a day, while the roll
road conductor, who is a very king in
comparison, draw hi f 8 or 18 per day,
or $1 35 a mouth, aud I not classed n

New Boa-lead Meetlag Hoasee.
Cotton Mather aid: "I Mud no Just
ground in Scripture to apply such a
trope a church to bouse for publio
worship A meeting bouse I the term
that i most commonly used by New
England Christians, and every town,
for the most purt, oan say we have
modest and a huudsome house for the
worship of God, not set off with guudy,
pompous, theatrical flnerie, but suited
unto the simplicity of Christian wor
ship. "
The people were seated in the early
days, says Dr. Ezra Hoyt Byington, in
hi book on "The Puritan In England
and New Eugland," on rough benches,
men and women on opposite sides.
Pew were not provided first Now and
then a special vote wa passed by the
town authorising some person to build
a pew iu the meeting bouse at his own
expense. Square on the floor, about 6
feet by 6, were deeded to individual,
on whiob they erected pew to suit
themselves. The best seat wa some
tlmos assigned to the man who paid the
highest tax in the parish. Sometimes
the committee was instructed "to
have respect upon them that are 60
years old and upward, others to be
seated according their pay. " In one in
stance we have a record that the com
mittee was instructed "to have respect
to age, office and estate, so far as it
tendetb to make a man respeotable, and
to everything else that hath the same
tendenoy. "
Turks and Sleersehaiim,
According to the best authorities
epon the subject, the idea of nsing
white talo iu the manufacture of pipes
is of comparatively recent date, com
pared with the age of the habit of smok
ing, and what is still more ourious is
the fact that in the oriental countries
I which produce white talo, or meer
: sohaum, as it Is oalled, and where the
j use of tobaoco forms part of the eduoa
; tion of the faithful, the people never
dream or making this substance into
pipes. They make bowls and goblets of
it, but no pipes. It may be that the
long pipestems which allow the smoke
to cool and lose' it aoridity before
reaching tho mouth leave the oriental
smoker quite Indifferent in regard to
the quality of the bowl. At all events,
one never sees a Turk with a meer
schaum pipe, Courrier des EtatsUnis
Tba Ancient Umbrella.
On coins in the rock carviugs of the
anotents the umbrella often show it
familiar form. This goes to prove that
Jon us Hanway did uot invent the um
brella, but bo saw the vulue of the east
ern sunshade and soon it beoanie the
fashion to curry this usoful article.
There must be a great difference be
tween the umbrella of the cightuuutu
century and the modern steel ribbed,
silk covered, slender article which it is
regarded ns misfortune to get wet

ing reminiscences of John Bright in
Cassell' Magnsine. The great Liberal
lender often sal in an old fashioned

lighted iu talk and wa fond of repeat
ing poetry. On one ocoasion he began
to talk to Sir Wemyss about hi favorite
hymns, and a ho warmed to Ills subject
lie ronrnted some of them. It wn a
I strange subject, perhaps, for n clnb

j to observe thnt n ho spoke with thnt
: wonderful voice of hi tho other men in
