After we had fished him out of the ditch
and pulled his hat on steafght, he said :
"Is this the way they treat a man in the
great metropolis ?"
"What's up now ?"
"I came in laid week with a load of mules
from Texarkana. Out our way a good inure
is quoted at say $500 to $3,000 cash. All I
could get in New York was $35. It was my

"My dear sir," I explained, "you must
remember that New York is filled with
dudes, and they have to live."
"That is true," he said, reflectively, "but
ont our way we would pay say $1 50 a day
for higlichiss accommodations. Next I con-
cluded to go out and see the town. It

"Well, after a time, I concluded to have

tipped over three tables, stood on the bar
and hallooed like a dying steer. But nobody
winced."
"Is it possible?"
"It is, stranger ; and it constituted one of
the saddest disappointments of my life. I

Very. often the man who marries for
:noney ambitious. Halo anxiouifto make
a nanie and place in the world, and he re-
cognizes the feat that wealth Ib the golden
tr.ey to unlock the world's esteem and that
without it he must stand, outside'of the
closed door. Ile marries for money just as
be would change Ms polities, or his reli-
gion, if it advanced him a step further in
ins career ; it is a mere cold.bltbded dont.
mereial arrangement, nothing more.
• Very often he is a selfish and lazy man.
He wante the best of this world's goods,
and he by no means desires the labor of get-
ting them. Far easier than working with
his own hands or head it ift to marry a wo-
!nen and live on her riches. They think
they have discovered a royal road to com-
fort, and eaao, these men -they have only to
marry a rich woman and oblige her to sup-
port them.
The man who marries for money is con-
temptible. He puts himself into a position
which would be blushed for by any of his
fellows with the faintest sentiment of *halite
• about them. He is receiving money from a
woman, and from a woman to whom he
gives nothing in return. He does not even
ofler her the affection which a woman values
so much higher than gold.
Sometimes a man's position under these
circumstances is peculiarly degrading. The
wife keeps her money in her own hands.
Thanks to the reforming of the laws for
women, she can do so nowadays. She doles
him out so lunch a day for his cabs, and his
lunch, and his daily paper. In some cases
she has been known to pay for his refresh-
%lents when they are out together.
A woman who marries for money may
have something to excuse her, 'though that
will not prevent her suffering the penalty
of her folly. But a man who does the same
has not her extenuation. He is able to
battle with the world. He is strong and
can fight. When he throws down his weap-
ons and takes range behind a wotnan, he
has not achieved a very glorious position 1

He used to tell another story that seemed
to give him great joy to repeat. When he
was member of the State Senate the first
time.hveceived a message from one of the
moat distinguished politicians in New York
asking for an interview. Mr, Seward felt
pleased to he honored thus, and arraying
himself in his Slinday olothea, which con -
slated of a blue broadcloth coat, cut swal-
low -tail fashion. light colored trousers,
strapped over the gaiters, a very high
dickey collar and stiff stock, and a
bell-crowned beaver hat, he went to call on
the distinguished man. He was received in
the parlor, aud the 'politician, while Cour-
teous, was cold and distant, treating him
with utmost formality- Mr. Seward said
"I thought perhaps you had some special
business with me." •
"No, sir, I do not think of any ; in fact,
supposed you were paying ine a call of

There is no such feeling in Chicago. The
place spreads over the prairie, with room
enough for half te dozen New Yorks, and
there is neither excuse for nor inclination to
ward those makeshift fractions of homes
which quench family pride and turn thele
tenants into "floaters." The homes of
Chicago are true homes, and they are turn-

is a quick spirit of social ambition and a

fact, seems to have been a mystery.
Nine years ago he was a poor workma
in a factory near Verona. One day, how
evert he told his employers that he woul
leave them, as he also was going to do th
Signore (the gentleman). In fact he wen
away, and after a time was' seen in Veron
well dressed, spending money very freely
and throwing away 1,000 -franc notes at
time on the most silly amusements. Every
one began to wonder where and how he hae
fallen into such good fortune, but no one
could tell. He went in for horses, and often
had as many as thirty of them at a time in
his stable. •His rooms also seem furnished
in anuegnificentmanner. He would,however,
sell off occasionally hisshorses and furniture,
and go off on long journeys,and always came
back evidently richer than ever. His fin-
gers were always covered with magnificent
diamond rings, ruid he wore priceless jewels
on his person in the shape of scarfpins,
watch chains, etc. One day he returned to
Verona with a case full of gold (teneva

and he was arrested on the accusation of
smuggling, but almost immediately was let
off, as there was no proof, and he showed a
receipt which made it clear he had bought
the watches on his own account. In a shop
at Verona he showed the proprietor, whom
he knew, 110 notes of 1,000 francs each,that
he had in his pocket. On several other oc.
casions lie was seen to light his cigars with
10 franc notes. The police hearing of this,
kept watch, and he is now arrested as hese

Great excitement has been felt at Verona
about his arrest, and at the revelietions
with regard to this well-known character
that linty be brought to light in the coming
