KING MAMMON.
A WALL STREET SKETCH.
King Mammon’s a wonderful potentate
In these modern days. Grand Monarch he;
Wielding the sceptre of Church and State
As Lord of the Nineteenth Century.
His throne, as of old, is of molten gold,
And his diadem is a sight to behold:
While his courts are filled tooverflowing
«IV-itirvotaries eagerly coming and going.
'But, sad to say, in that ancient day,
There were other 'gods, and he'd not fair
play;
For Venus and Bacchus and several others
Were high in power, nor only they,
But a multitude of ambitions brothers,» ,
Who were always prepared to dispute his
sway. ,
’l‘hen gold was scarce and the premium high, '
'l‘hc “bulls" were held and the “bears"
were shy,
And seldom “went short" on the article then,
As is frequently done by modern men.
I met him one day, in a leisurely way,
Coming from Trinity Church. ' ‘
I hailed him at once, and expressed my sur-
prise
That he’d venture abroad in such flimsy
disguise, '
A pair of gold spectacles, spotless ernvat,
A clerical coat, a polemical hat; '
llrimfull of argument, plainly, it said,
“l am sure to Convince yea, my friend, on
that head."
‘ i go," said the King, “for a» stroll in the
street; . ' * '
Adulation, dear sir, is undoubtedly sweet,
But- though incense is offered and constantly:
burns '
()n my altar, I don‘t have such heavy returns
As in previous years, when the pasaion was
strong '
With charity papers with tails ,very long.
Where respectable. figures and names could,
. he found ’
Sillx‘ by side, and extending far down to the
ground. , .- ;
'I‘lie;r..uam‘es they will give, emulation in-
spired, ' ' ‘
flu: they do not respond when the cash is re.
quired. ' . ' V
These Christians of mine are all falling her
hind, ' _ "
The Jews, more consistent, are more to my
mind, -
'l‘rue they still lick my hands, as the vericst
Jew licks,
But alas! sad to say, 1
lix.’,
l was shocked at the slang, but I could not
but feel
That ’twas very expresssve, if not quite gen-
feel.
I mildly proposed a slight change in his dress
With arguments potent as words could ex-
press,
But he flourished his hand and declined the
suggestion, ’ _. ‘
“ All such interference disturbs my digestion,
Excuse me, I frequently dress the same.
Will you come along sir, and watch the
game P” '
don't get the spondu-
Yes, stocks were dull, and a perfect lull
Was felt in the busy hum of the street,
While Bankers and Brokers, an army of
smokers ~
Went wandering about with purposeless feel,
All praying to Mammon, the greedy best;
But the King was deaf, deaf as a post.
From the Stock Exchange, through its mas-
sive door,
The tide was ebbing for the service was o’er,
And an army of “splinters," a numerous
horde, " '
Came floating along from the Regular Board.
“These are my slaves,” said the King to me,
“And this is a sight-that I love to see.”
Gutter-perchers of various shades,
Looking as black as the ace of spades,
Ilovercd about the Exchange in flocks;
While itinerant vendors of worthless stocks,
With eager faces of fraud and'ig'll'ilé—i- ' I
Faces Which made the old King smile—
Stood gaping at those who passed the while.
One little chap with an odious whine,
Stopped us both ; “Here's some stock," said
he,
“Of the Scandinavian Putty Mine,
Which I’ll- sell you -‘sheep’ at twenty-three.”
But the King declined with a haughty grace,
Shook the hand from his arm and brushed
the place.
“These,” said the King, “are my servanlsall,
0r nearly all, I am happy to say;
They promise well, but they sometimes fall
From grace in a singular way;
For some, ‘when 1 toss them a handful of
gold
(To my mortification,—a miserable trick)
Instead of frequenting my shrine as of old,
Go as fast as they can to his Highness—Old
Nick. ._,
Then Nicholas sends them directly away
To Bacdhus and Venus their homage to pay.
“How he grins, as he watches them ripening
fast ;
‘All the better,’ he says, ‘for his table at
last.’
There is one consolation, I own, in the fact,
That I manage them all with such infinite
tact, ’ '
That e’re they can warship at either shrine,
They’re obliged to fall down and grove] at
mine.”
“His Highness is old audenormouslystout—j
Has disease of the liver—a touchof the goat.
He used to be thin—very thin—more’s the
pity, _ ' ' ., . ‘ . '
But that was betqreNeWIOtkusss city-
The morsels I send :himare-usually-rlch,
Too rich indeed, forhis, good I’m afraid,
And I’ve heard him exclaim that, he didn’t
know which, . - . ..
A fat politician, or monarch of trade,
Tasted the best in a pate or a stew,
But that both were superb in a steaming
ragout.
An immature Banker, or Broker unripe,
He always protested would give him the
gripe.”
King Mammon continued: "When more at
my case
I will show you the men who have taken dc.
grees -
And are sure to remain all their lives on their.
knees,
I’d much rather wait till I'm more at my case
And my pockets are safe. It is really quite
funny, _
But the hands of my Wall Street devotees ,
Are rather free with their neighbors’ money."
His hand sought his pocket, his glance was
portentious,
“Mr WALLET," lie stammered out,‘Nox xs'r
vasxres.”
We sauntered on, till straight before
We saw Delmonico’s open door.
“Come in,” said his Majesty, “live and learn,
I’m a silent partner in the concern.
Bacchus is only an upper clerk,
I get the money, and he does the work.
Yes, this is the place,” said he, with a sigh,
“The place where, "I'he swallows homeward
. fly!
Old Nicholas sometimes comes up from below
And does interfere with the customers so
That some, getting drunk, are unable to stay
And attend to affairs in a sensible way. '
A hard drinking race are these men of the
street -
Whether they’re treated or whether they
treat. ‘
They drink when they make, and they drink
when they lose,
They drink when they’re joyful, and when
they’ve the blues.
They drink when too warm, and they drink
when too cold,
They drink :‘between drinks‘ and drink all
they can hol .”
We soon passed out, and there, at the door
Stood a pale little “gamin” begging a penny.
He’d have looked like “Oliver" asking for
more,
“If one could have been sure that he'd ever
had any. ' _
King Mammon frowned, but on looking
around, .
And seeing a prttty large crowd on the
ground, _
He furnished the penny with exquisite grace,
And left, with a smiling, benevolent face.
The Brokers all clustered about the youth
As I turned to follow the potentate,
And I painfully comprehended the truth,
They were urging the boy to speculate.
‘ I soon overtook his Majesty,
Who was rubbing his hands with ineffable
glee. '
“I shall preach,” said he, “on Sunday next,
In a certain-church up town, you know ;
And I‘ll have a perfectly orthodox text.
’Twill please, I'm sure, and I hope you'll go.-
My subject will be the Pharisees,
And the latest style of Phylacterics.
I’llroast’the Pharisees. torture the scribes,
And annihilate the whole twelve tribes.
Bring some of your intimates with you, too,
And ask for Mr. Potiphar's pew.
sins,
(ExCept in a general sort of way.) '
I never touch on besctting sins
Or press their cores, for it wouldn’t pay.
The naked truth is so ungcntcel
That modesty makes a strong appeal;
So I fold her in many a silken band,
And bring my babes all up by hand.
In every conceivable manner I weigh it,
That wonderful art of ‘how not to sayjt.’
But the rolling eye—the unctious sigh,
With delicate hands uplifted high,
.Produce .in the very simplest way
An ecclesiastical lullaby,
Which makes them feel as they leave the plat c
E tsy and happy and full of grace.”
Tu, Tu! au r'evoir," said the King to me,
S .Grand Roi, bon soir, je repondit.
New York Letter.
TIIE COST or CIGARS—NEW Yonx axn T711!
Canals—Mona Rasoamrx—anmnss.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30th. 577.
rm: ocsr OF CIGARS.
A very pretty little history came to me the
other day. In 1870, a broker named Abbey-
was told by his physician that cigars were
killing him; and his wife induced him to
stop smoking. and giVe her the amount each
day that he was in the habit of expending
upon cigars. Now this rich man did not
smoke common cigars,—not be He could
not satisfy himself with anything less than
imported Havanas, that cost fifty cents and
upwards, each, and be consumed a great
many of them. But he did quit. and he did
give his wife each day precisely what his
cigar bill had been, and he kept it up faith-
fully. About a month age, Mr. Abbey went
under, and he was very sore about it. He
had neglected the usual precautions such peo-
ple take, and the house he lived in was taken
out from under him, as well as all the pleas-
ant accumulations of a life-time. Mr. Abbey,
last Monday morning,was an astonished man;
for Mrs._ Abbey took him out; of the cheap
hotel in which they had taken refuge, and
took him to‘ a very neat and comfortably fur.
nished house on 20th streetywith everything
in readiness to go to living,_an'd all hers. , She
had savedthe money ' he had given her, she
had invested it, and turned it over and over,
until it had amounted to enough to pay for a
delightful home,not much inferior to the one
hehad-lost; and this was in his wife’s name
and could .notbe taken from her, and from
this vantage point, Mr. Abbey feels quite
confident that he can go out and regain his
lost position. He saved his health- by quit-
tinglebacco—his wife so managed as to give
him a new start. A very comfortable wife
to have, is Mrs. Abbey.
NEW YORK AND THE Camus.
The Erie Canal is, practically, a National
work, and it is a thousand pities that it is not
under the control of the general government.
It is the only safeguard the people have
against rapacious railroad combinations, and
the farmer-of Iowa is just as much interest-
ed in it as the merchant of New York. The
railroads did their level best to keep up the
be forced into their hands. Despite their ef-
forts, lhe tolls were lowered,and the good ef-
fect was apparent. The V amount of grain
carried was largely increased,-and the canal
assumed somewhat the appearance of former
years. Another movement in the right di-
rection is being made. It is to close out,
once for all, all the lateral canals that do not
pay expenses, and make the Erie free of tolls.
If this is done, and as an additional measure
the canal is enlarged so as to pass a larger
boat, the city will recover its lost trade, and
New York will be again, what it was, the
great exporting point of the country. The
Canadians are enlarging the Welland Canal
so as to admit large vessels, and Montreal is
working with all its might to make itself the
point of export and import. New York has
got to do something to head her off. The
Erie Canal is the way, and New York sees it.
A free canal and a larger one is what New
York needs, and the agitation of the question
shows an increasing tendency to labor in that
direction.
MORE RASCALI'I'Y.
The dreadful list of scoundrels has this
week taken on two new names, Gilman and
Lyman; the first, one of the saints we are
getting accustomed to, who within the church
rob the brethren and outside world alike.
His will be familiar to your readers before
this letter reaches them, and they will learn
that he was a kind father and a true friend,—
scnsitive, aesthetic, intellectual, domestic and
pious to a degree. Who can be trusted, is
the perpetually recurring conundrum. Not
in the case of Lyman, however, who has be-
fore done the state some service in Sing Sing,
but his case is striking in this, that a known
jail-bird could go on so long in successful
forgery. And in this case recurs the old ques-
tion, “Does it reform a man or does it tend
to reform him to put him in prison."
BUSINESS,
ing every day. The merchants from the in-
terior are finally convinced that the bottom
has been reached, and are buying liberally.
The city is full of strangers, and everybody
is feeling well. There is no question that
business men are satisfied that from this time
out, there will be an improvement in values,
that goods cannot go below the present point,
and that real estate from this date must im-
prove. rTenants recognize the improved
look of things, and are preparing to submit
to an increase in the Spring; and, in short,
everybody is feeling better. My confidence
is not based upon theory, but comes from
what I see and know. The dark days are
over, and we see clear skies. The strangers
among no report the same reason for encour-
agement everywhere. The West and South
are rich this year, and the West and South
make the rest of the country. PIETRO.
Where England Gets llcr V. heat.
It is an important fact that wheat is now
dearer in England than it has been for many
years, the home harvest being generally be.
low the average. All through the middle and
northern parts of the island the season has
been tempestuous, crops will be late, and on
many soils poor. The French harvest is
hardly equal to the requirements of that
country, and France will probably be a con-
siderable buyer abroad. The yield of Spain,
though a surplus, is not what was expected.
The Russian crop will be good, but difficult
toget at on account of the war. All sup-
:plies from the valley of the Danube will he
cutoff through the same cause. The most
favorable estimates of the English wheat
crop, gives only 12,000,000 quarters, which
is hardly half enough for wheat and stock
purposes. It is predicted that in England,
Wheat, and of course bread, will be much
dearer than now before the winter is over.

HAVEN Suzanna.
A" the journeyings I had ever done had
been purely in the way of business. The
pleasant May weather suggested a novelty,
namely, a trip for pure recreation, the bread-
and-butter element left out. The Reverend
said he would go, too—a good man, one of
the best of men, although a clergyman. By
11 at night we were in New Haven and on
board the New York boat. We bought our
tickets, and then went wandering around,
here and there, in the solid comfort of being
free and idle, and of putting distance be-
tween ourselves and the mails and the tele-
graphs.
After a while I went to my state-room and
undressed; but the night was too enticing
for bed. We were moving down the bay now,
and it was pleasant to stand at the window
and take the cool night breeze and watch the
gliding lights on shore. Presentlytwo elder-
ly men sat down under that window and be-
gan a conversation. Their talk was properly
no business of mine,yet I was feeling friendly
towards the world and willing to be entertain-
ed. I soon gathered that they were brothers,
that they were from a small Connecticut vil-
lage, and that the matter in hand concerned
the cemetery. Said one:
“Now John, we talked it allover among
ourselves, and this is what we’ve done. You
see, everybody was a-movin’ from the old
buryin’ ground, and our folks was about left
to theirselves, as you may say. They was
crowded, too, as you know; lot wa'nt big
enough in the first place; and last. year when
Seth’s wife died, we couldn’t hardly tuck her
in. She sort 0’ overlaid Deacon Shorb’s lot,
and be scared on her, so to speak, and on the
rest of us, too. Then we talked it over, and I
VWas for a layout in the new simitery on the
hill. They wa’n’t unwilling, if it was cheap.
Well,the two best and biggest plots was No.8
and No. 9—hoth of a size; nice, comfortable
room for twenty-six—twenty-six full-growns,
that is; but you'reckon in children and other
shorts, and strike an average, and I should
say you might lay in thirty,or maybe thirty~two
or three, pretty genteel—no crowdin’ to sig-
nify."
“That's a-plenty, William. Which one did
you buy ?"
“Well, I’m coming to that, John.
see, No. 8 was $13, No. 9&4”-
“I see. So's ’t you took No. 8."
“You wait. I took No. 9. And I’ll tell you
for why. In the first place, Deacon Shorb
wanted it. Well, after the way he’d gone on
about Seth’s wife overlappin’ his premises,l'd
'a’ beat him out of that No. 9 if I’d ’a’ had to
stand two dollars extra, let alone one. That’s
the way I felt about it. Says I,'what’s a dol-
lar any way? Life’s only a pilgrimage, says
I; we ain‘t here for good, and we can’t take
it with us, says I. So I just dumped it down,
knowin’ the Lord don't suder a good deed to
go for nothin’ and calklatin’ to take it out o’
somebody in the course 0’ trade. Then there
was anotherreason, John. No. 9‘s a long way
the handlest lot in the simitery, and the like-
liest for situation. It lays right on top of a
knoll in the dead» centre of the buryin’
ground; and you can see Milport from there,
and Tracy’s, and Hopper Mount, and a raft o’
farms, and so on. There ain’t no better out-
look from a buryin’ plot in the State. Si
Higgins says so, and I reckon he ought to
know. Well, and that ain’t all. Course
Shorb has to take No. 8; wa’n’t no help for’t
Now, No. 8 jinesVon to No. 9, but it's on
the slope of the hill, and every time it rains
it ’11 soak right down on the Shorbs. Si Hig.
gins says ’t when the deacon’s time comes he’d
better take out a fire and marine insurance
both on his remains.”
Here there was the sound of a low, placid
duplicate chuckle of appreciation and satis.
faction.
“Now, John, here's a little rough draft of
the ground, that I’ve made on a piece of pa-
per. Up here in the left-hand corner we’ve
bunched the departed; took them from the
old graveyard and stowed them one alongside
o’ tether, on a first-come-first-served plan, no
partialities, with gran’ther Jones fora starter,
only because it happened so, and windin’ up
indiscriminate with Seth’s twins. A little
crowded towards the end of the layout,maybc,
but we reckoned ’t wa’n’t best to scatter the
twins. Well, next comes the livin’. Here,
where it’s marked A, we’re goin’ to put Ma-
riar and her family when they’re called; B,
that's for brother Hosea and his’n ; C, Calvin
and tribe. What’s left is these two lots here
—just the gem of the whole patch for gener-
al style and outlook; they’re for me and my
folks, and you and yearn. Which of them
would you rather be buried in ?”
“I swan you’ve took me mighty unexpect-
ed, William! It sort of started the shivers.
Fact is, I was so busy about makin’ things
comfortable for the others, I hadn’ thought
about being buried myself.”
“Life’s only a fleetin’ show, as the sayin’
is. We’ve all got to go, sooner or later. ' To
go with a clean record’s the main thing. Fact
is, it’s the only thing worth strivin’ for,
John.”
“Yes, that's so, William, that's so; there
ain’t no getting round it. Which of these
lots would you recommend ?”
“Well, it depends John. Are you particu-
lar about outlook?”
"I don’t say I am, William; I don‘t say I
ain't. Keely, I don't know. But mainly, I
reckon, l‘d set store by a south exposure."
“That’s easy fixed, John. They’re both
south exposures. They take the sun and the
Shorbs get the shade.” ‘
“How about sile, warm 2"
“D’s a sandy sile, E’smostly loom.”
“You may gimme E, then, William; a .
sandy sile caves in, more or less, and costs
for repairs." _
“All right ; set your name down here,John,
under E. ' Now, if you don’t mind payin’ me
your share of the $14, John, while we’re on
the business, everything’s fix _ -."
After some higgling and sharp bargaining
the money was paid, . and John bade his
brother good night and took his leave. There
was silence for some moments; then a soft
chuckle welled up from the lonely ‘V William,
and he muttered: “I declare for ’t, if I have
n’t made a mistake! It's .D that’s mostly
loom, not B. And John’s booxed for a sandy
sile after all.”
There was another soft chuck, and Wil-
liam departed for his rest also.

long letter from John H. Reagan, of Texas,
in which he denied that the fugitive Presi-

there goes a man dressed in women’s clothes.”
The Adjutant started after them, calling out
“halt" repeatedly, and reached them just as
several troopers in charge of Corporal Mun-

for use. The fugitives halted; Mrs. Davis
threw her arms around her husband’s shoul-
