    A JUVENILE HORDE.
NEW YORK YOUNGSTERS SEE A
THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE.
Six Thousand Street Urchins Swarm Into
a Metropolitan riuyhouso and Malto
Away with Everything Portable Within
Reach —A Pundcmoniuni.
Fully 0,000 shouting, screaming, chat
tering, cheering youngsters attended the
performance of "The Scout" given for
poor children at Niblo's, and outdid the
Indians as regards noise and drowned
the reports of the pistols with their en- I
thnsiastic yells.
Such an audience has never before
been inside the walls of a playhouse.
There wore hoys there with dirty la 1 s,
and hoys whose natural color did net
give one an opportunity to see if they
were dirty or not. Little girls were
there, too, some white and a few black,
and they took as much delight ill the
performance and made as much noise
as the boys.
The doors of the theater were besieged
as early as 7:30 o'clock, and by 8:30 there
was a tremendous jam about tho Broad
way and Crosby street entrances. Once
the doors were opened there was no use
trying to collect tickets. The hoys sim
ply swept everything before them. In
an incredibly short time every seat con
tained at least two occupants, and every
available place from which the stage
could be seen was occupied.
The boys hung on the posts like mon
keys, occupied the stairs, stood on the
radiators, and if it wasn't for the ten
big policemen who were there to preserve
order there is no knowing what they
would have done. The youngsters talked
to each other from all parts of the house.
"Hay. Yaller!" shouted one urchin
across tile gallery. "Did you see me
brudder?" "Naw," came the answer.
"Hully Mol" shouted back the first
speaker, "me mudder will slaughter
me." "Hi, Bed," shouted another young
ster, "where's Mike?" "Oh, he's down
in the parkay eating oats," came the an
swer.
It was 10 o'clock when Congressman
Timothy J. Campbell came before the
curtain and addressed the hoys. At
least he tried to tell the boys to lie good
citizens, but they heard him not, and he
concluded in pantomime.
One little girl wearing a big red hat
occupied a chair all by herself in the or
chestra. "Take oif your hat, Magi"
shouted the little one behind her, but
she paid no attention, and in an instant
that hat was sailing down the aisle.
When she got it back it was in ribbons,
and to quiet her cries a policeman lifted
lier into a box, where she spent most of
her time sticking lier tongue out at the
other girls.
How the boys cheered when the cur
tain went up! They applauded Dr.
Carver like mad, and when he threw
the villain in the big tank they yelled
furiously. The comic Irishman and the
darky pleased them immensely, and they
marveled at Dr. Carver's aim when he
broke all the bottles in the saloon with
rifle balls.
The actors soon discovered that it was
useless to talk, as they couldn't be heard,
and they went on a great part of the
time in pantomime. No villain was ever
more heartily disliked than Cherokee
Jake, played by Mr. Sommerfleld. One
boy in the gallery threw a half eaten ap
ple at him, and an Indian picked it up
and finished it. In the fourth act cries
came from all parts of the house to
throw Jake into the river. There was
tumultuous applause when the horse fell
through the bridge, and there was nioro
when the play was over. It took just
seven minutes for tho house to empty,
and it seemed a miracle that no one
was hurt. Had one hoy .stumbled while
coming down the gallery staircase tho
result would have been appalling.
After the house was emptied Manager
Comstoclc went in and viewed the wreck.
Every other row had a broken seat, and
in one place an entire row was demol
ished. The urchins broke open the opera
glass machines and carted olf the glasses,
and in some cases took tho machines
and all.
"Well," said Mr. Comstock, "they
had a good time, and I don't care as long
as they left the four walls and didn't get
hurt."—New York Herald.
Disuse of the Uut.
A London correspondent complains
that he cannot take his walks abroad
with his head uncovered without being ;
exposed to gibes and flouts and sneers
and treated as a lunatic. "And yet," he
asks, "who but the hatter would suffer
by the almost complete disuse of the hat?
The advantages would be many. We
should entirely avoid baldness (which
our hats induce); our heads would be as
cool as our faces (which we never think
of covering, though they are less pro
tected with hair than our heads); we
should save our money and a great deal
of trouble. In this climate we need not
be afraid of sunstrokes, and wo should
avoid colds in the head. It is a mistake ;
to suppose that either chimney pot hats
or bowlers shade tho eyes, They do not
do so any more than women's bonnets." ;
Alphabet Supper*.
"Alphabet suppers" are getting to bo
quite a craze in some parts of the conn-1
try. The young people of church so
cieties arrange for an evening lunch, tho
name of every article of which begins
with the same letter. Each member is
instructed to provide a portion of the
feast, and forfeit is levied against de
linquents. A "B" supper, for instance,
would include bread, beans, butter,
bananas, beef, brick cheese (by an elas
tic construction of the rule), bologna,
etc. —Exchange.
Their Weight in Halfpence.
It is said that a tradesman was lately
residing in London who had disposed of
eleven daughters in marriage, and as a
fortune for each ho had given their
weight in halfpence. It is suggested
that they were rather bulky, as the
lightest of them weighed fifty pounds, 1
two shillings ami eightpence.—London .

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, I). C , Dec. 23, ISD2.
"What will tin* Democrats in the next
congress do?" said lion. Don M. Dickin
son, echoing the question that hud been
asked of him, "Why, they will do just
what is rigiit; that's what they were elec
ted for. The Democratic party more
nearly represents the whole people than
any other party, and for that reason it is
belter qualified to legislate for the whole
people than is any other party. And in I
the next congress it is going to he pre
pared for the lirst time in many years to j
legislate; for, notwithstanding the pres- |
out apparent doubt as to the senate of j
the Jiity-first congress, 1 have the best |
j id reasons for positively stating that the
.-enate after the 4th of next March will
he controlled by the Democratic party.
While in Washington Mr. Dickinson
stated that he had no idea of again
going into the cabinet, and expressed
the opinion that 110 member of -Mr. i
< 'leveland's old cabinet would be a mem
ber of the new one.
Senator larli le declines to dieuss the
matter, but there seems to be a general
belief among Democrats in congress that
lie can be secretary of the treasury if he
wishes to.
Representatives llolman and Rayner j
are leading the opposition to the JSica- j
ragua canal bill in the house, and pres- j
ent indications are that it will be forniid
able enough to defeat the bill, by illii- ,
blistering, if not by votes. The bill hi s
been reported favorably to the senate and
there is little doubt ot its being passed
by the senate sometime in January.
There never has been any opposition to j
speak of to the bill in the senate.
There is weeping and wailing among 1
those who have been scheming to fasten i
the Republican employes of the govern- i
ment printing office upon the incoming |
administration by having Mr. Harrison
order the civil service rules extended to
coyer that establishment. The scheme t
is a failure, if my informant is correct,
and it comes fioni a trustworthy source, ;
as Mr. 1 larrison.has positively declined
to issue the necessary order, although i
he has partially promised, as sort of
compensation to the weepers and wailers,
that he would trv to save the official
heads of the Republican division chiefs i
in the department service by putting
them under the protection of the civil
service.
Senator Nest's resolution providing for
an investigation of partisan acts by eer
tain census enumerators was adopted by j
the senate before it adjourned. The in
vestigation is to made by the census ;
committee.
The investigation of the condition of
the treasury, recently authorized by
a House resolution, was formally begun
this week when Chairman Springer,
wrote a letter to Secretary Foster speei- |
lying in detail the information wanted. |
As the figures are to include December ;
31, Mr. Springer does not expect the in
formation before about the middle of i
January. The information oh .lined by
this committee will necessarily be the
basis of all the tarifif and financial Icgis- 1
iation to be enacted by the next con
gress. It will also show whether Secre
tary Foster has maintained a small
available by improperly manipulating
figures and by an extensive system of
with-holding payment of accounts against l
the government long after they should
have been paid, both of which he has
repeatedly been charged with doing.
The brainiest man in the Republican
party —Mr. Blaine—is believed to be on
iiis death-bed, and deep and loud are
the expressions of sympathy on all sides.
The exact nature of Mr. Blaine's disease
is kept a profound secret by his physi-,
cians, but there is little doubt in my
mind that grief and disappointment
have as much to do with his illness as j
disease. S. j

ALMOST A CHOLERA SCARE.
An Incident of the Peculiar Fright That
Seized New York C'lty.
"Let mo toll yi.:i lio .v I came near be
ing tin innocent cause of a big cholera
scare," said a well known lawyer to a |
reporter one afternoon. "It happened in |
tins way; I was breakfasting alone in j
L ist Twenty-eight street at a private j
Italian hoarding house filled with the i
I leading people from several comic opera j
companies, including 'Robin Ilood'and j
'Puritania.' My landlady, Mine. S., j
whose English pronunciation is at once :
tin' delight and despair of those who I
s< ek to imitate or understand it, came in j
and said; 'Mista John, writa me una ;
note. Say Alda worn' are down. Com- |
ma quoek. Yon putta ma nom attabot, j
Sophie.*
"I was in haste to get down town," j
continued the narrator, "and I wrote it !
out as 1 understood it, 'All the women <
are down; come quick.' 1 thought !
that the message sounded odd. She .
said, however, that it was 'alia rat,'
and sent it to Dr. X. around the corner |
in Lexington avenue. That worthy j
young physician glanced at the note, and
thinking that it opened the way to fame
for him informed the board of health 1
that he had discovered an outbreak of
cholera in an up town Italian boarding j
house. He telephoned the same mes- i
sage to several newspaper men of his j
acquaintance.
"In los than twenty minutes a squad
of burly policemen appeared in front of
the house, followed by the doctor, six re
porters and several officers of the hoard
of health, whose instincts had been j
wrought up to a white heat by the mes- j
sage. Mine. S. answered tho incessant !
ringing of the door, hell in person. |
She was attired in a becoming morning
gown, and being a large and remarkably
handsome woman, presented a dra
matic appearance as she explained the
situation: 'Gentleman, who eata brik
fast now, no und : -Linda me. 1 tell him
olda worn' are down, slippa down, you
undastan? Olda worn worka for me.
Falla downa de si dr. Hurta her side, j
No worn' down here at all. Dey alia

—New York Tribune.
Dickens us a Dancer.
My father insisted that my sister Ka- j
tie and I should teach the polka step to
him and Mr. Leech. My father was as I
much in earnest about learning to take j
that wonderful step correctly as though
j there were nothing of greater impor- :
I tauce in the world. Often he would prac
tice gravely in a corner, without either |
partner or music, and I remember one
cold winter's night his awakening with '
the fear that he had forgotten the step so
strong upon him that, jumping out of j
bed. by the scant illumination of the old 1
, fashioned rushlight and to his own whis- ,
tling ho diligently reliearsod its "one, j
two, ono, two," until he was once more
secure in his knowledge.
No one can imagine our excitement j
and nervousness when the evening came
on which we were to dance with our !
pupils. Katie was to have Mr. Leech,
who was over six feet tall, for her partner,
while in}' father was to he mine. My
heart boat so fast that I could scarcely
breathe, I was so fearful for the success j
of our exhibition. But my fears were I
groundless, and we were greeted at the
finish of our dance with hearty applause, 1
which was more than compensation for !
the work which had been expended upon
its learning.— Mamie Dickens in Ladies'
Home Journal.
Cruel ImlifToronoe,
"The other day a woman who spends
thousands of dollars a year on dress sent
for me and gave me an old garment to
make over for house wear," says a dress
maker. "There were trimmings and
linings to buy, but she gave me no I
money. Of course it was taken for J
granted that I would furnish those. That I
was all right. When the work was done I
the bill amounted to $11.30, and I had !
; less than $1 in cash. I wrote an apolo
g' tic little n"i- to my customer when I
sent the dress home, asking for the
amount of the bill—if convenient. My
me -<>n,'. r returned empty handed. He
i waited in the hallway of the rich wom
an's house for half an hour, and receiv
j big no answer to my note ventured to
speak to one of the servants about it.
; The servant kindly said that she would
1 inquire about it. Soon she returned
with the message that Mrs. said
that she had no time to bother with petty
bills then. In consequence my little I
family had a very 'skimpy' Sunday din
ner."—New York Times. *
Tlo Welfare of Children.
Thore is a distinct advance in intelli
: gent grownup interest in child life.
Mr. Howells, Miss Larcom and Edward
Everett Ilale have all given us interest
' ing books embodying their own recollec
j lions of childhood. Mrs. D< Land is
writing a charming novel whose main
lib nt is in problems of childish psy
chology, and Mrs. Burnett promises a
similar volume. During the recent
meeting of the Association of College
Alumna-it was evident that one of the'
most interesting branches of work taken
up by college bred women is systematic
and scientific study of the development
—physiolo,. if. psychologic and ethical —
of very young children. This recogni
tion of tho interesting points of the
young humuu animal is significant. It
not only promises better things for the I
: child, but better times for his elders.

Advantage* of SousicknoM.
j Nothing can bo much more depressing
than seasickness, and for this reason wo i
should strongly advise all weak persons
! not to encounter if possible tho risk of
; its occurrence. It is astonishing how
| soon and how completely those who are
favored with a fair measure of constitu
tional elasticity recover from its depres
sion. In their case the benefits of a sea
trip may thus, with compensations of
air, diet and appetite, be enhanced by a
few hours of mechanical nausea. It is
in truth for such fiersons only that tours
of this kind are advisable.—London Lan
cet.
IN OTHER LANDS.
Hvr the Children In Furope Observe
Christmas Day.
In Belgium the children fill their shoes |
with beans and carrots on Christmas
[ eve. and set them in tlio chimney place i
for the good saint's horse. In the morn- t
ing they expect to find them filled with !
: sweetmeats and fruit in return for their I
J good behavior.
In Holland the children hang up their
woolen stockings by tiie tiled chimney i
j piece, and then go soberly to bed quite |
Hire that good St. Nicholas will visit j
them, provided they do not disturb him |
j in his visit.
j Bohemian children listen anxiously on
Christmas eve for the chariot and white
horses of the "Christ child" as he comes
j Hying through the air with his krippe
full of presents; but the Italian children I
go gravely with their parents to churches j
and cathedral to see the bambino, or
saint, who presents them with their
j Christmas gifts.
J The Spanish children hide tlieir shoes
or slippers in the bushes on Christmas
j eve, and find them filled with fruit and
i sugar plums on Christmas morning.
In France the young people stand their
j shoes in a convenient place for the gifts
1 to be dropped into. Sometimes if the
shoo of a bad boy is among them he
i finds a whip in it in the morning, and he
j must be a stupid fellow who cannot take
so sharp a hint. Very different are the
feelings of a German child. He waits
with feelings of mingled awe and pleas
ure for the coming of two important
personages—the "Christ child" and the
"Kneclit liuppert." The latter person
questions naughty children and threat
ens them with punishment till the
"Christ child's" intercession saves the
culprit and wins its pardon. Then these
J two Christmas apparitions lay dowi.
! their burdens of gifts and depart.
I In some parts of Germany the good
| saint will have a Christmas tree bril
liantly illuminated with wax candles to
hang its gifts on. He is not satisfied
j simply with the stocking in the chim
ney, and it is from this whim of his
! saintship that the custom has spread into
other countries and come over to our
own. The Christmas tree of today, how
ever, is only a successor to its prototype.
| the ancient legendary ydgnatil, or eter
nal tree, that had its roots in earth and
its top in heaven.
In Germany the schoolboys and chor
isters make the midnight air ring with
their merry carols. The "Three Kings
of the East, the Angel Gabriel and the
Star Singers" parade the streets, and i
! similar processions go about in Italy, I
France and Spain. In former years,
and perhaps even now in some localities j
in England, the Christmas waits—young j
j lads—make the air vocal with lovely |
| Christmas carols, but in our country !
| those are reserved to bo heard in church ]
j and Sunday school, and sometimes they J
' ring out in chimes from the church stee- |
j pie.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, j
