The New York Herald for months has been lifting the corners of the film sy curtain which hides the hideous ulcers on the limbs of the Cominon wealth from the eyes of its heads and guardians and has attempted to lay bare to the happy, healthy and wealthy interested in its welfare the disease and misery which have been permitted to become chronic and now threaten to ruin it. THE BOX3IAKERS AND) LAUNI)RESSES. Once more to return to hard facts! There are tbousands of young girls in this city who have to live on what they earn as box makers. Few of the busi ness men who, comfortably clad in broadcloth and tine linen, ride down and up town morning anid evening to and from their offices and counting rooms stop ro think of the struggles of the comely young shop girls they meet in the cars. Yet these bright eyed, sweet visaged young persons, notwith. standing their jaunty airs and dainty appearance, are the factors in painful domestic dramas, which would be re garded as the fiction of an imaginative writer if put in print tunder the respect able gold spectacled noses of the sleek business men aforesaid. Only a small portion of the shop girls can afford to ridet the majority have to walk, and this is because they are as poor as the proverbial church mouse. Take the boxmakers.. - How can they afford to ride in a street car when they cannot earni more than eighty or ninety cents in ten hours at the very best of times? Ordinarly their income is less than half a dollar a day. On this they have to live, pay rent and dress themselves. How can this be done? Will some rich girl, who pays more than that every afternoon for her own personal bodice floral decoration, please contemplate and endeavor to solve this problem? Then let her read this little story told to a Herald represetative by Nellie Lord wvho livis in (Cherry, beyond Oliver street. She is twenty-two years old and attemprts to keep house with her widowed old met her. who, Nellie says, is almost paralyzedl and conse quently unable to work. "I'm only a poor stick myself,"-said Nellie, a fewv evenings ago, to the wri ter, who saw her coing out of a box factory near the .lowerv, "hut there are lots of less fortunate girls than I. 'Why? Because I make p)retty fair wages, and most of them other girls cannot earn half as muchi." "What do you call preity fair wages, Miss Lord?" inouired the writer. "Sixty-five cents a day; that's near ly $4 a wveek, vou see-exactly S3 90 whbich is not had, at all events. Some of the others don't raise half that amuount. They thiink themselves in luck wvhen they touch $2 a week. It's onily the very luckiest of I hem that do.'' "Then you are one of the very lucki est?" "I amt." "Why do vou say luckiest? Hasn't good service somtethtin. to do with the "Not muctih! It's luck, slheer luck, and I'll tell 'y ou why I think so. I knowv girls who have worked all their lives at the trade and who have never succeeded?" Jessie R-is one of the thousands of little cash girls who serve in the big dry goods estalishmnents inl this city, giving their lit tle all of strength and ability-often at a fearful cost to health in after years-for the paltry sumi of $1 50. $1 75, $2, and in aL fe cases $.) 50 per wveek. Jessie, because an excep tionally trustworty child and possessed of an influetial friend, succeeded int getting a positiont as a cash girl in one of the largest and best paying dry goods houses in New York. Here her wages wer $2 a week from the start, and after t wo years' service she receives at the present time $2 50. if she serves a year longer and gives satisfaction she will receive S8an pr week, and after another periodl. if still satisfactory, she will be considered chgjkAe to the posi tion of a stock girl, wkio puts the goods away behind the counters while the cierks sell, at a salary of $5 per week After this, if in the meantime she ha not broken down and become a helples invalid, she inay be promoted to clerkship or a cashier's desk, where thi first year's salary will be $7 per week. But this is one of the seven leadin= uptown houses and represents the shol girl's life at its very best. There is i far different state of things in the othe: stores, for cash girls along Fourteenti street, in the majority of the Sixti avenue stores and all through Granc street and the rest of the city get bu the lower wages of from $1 to $2, o: possibly $2 2.5. Nine out of ten of these childrer must hand their earnings to the mothe1 for the family use, and in many in stances they form the chief part of the income. Jessie's mother is a widow with five children to support. On( boy and Jessie work as "cashes" anc bring in $4 a week between chem. The mother cleans offices at $15 a monti: and does what laundry work she car get in the meantime. They live it the lower part of the city because in n< other respectable house can they gel rent so cheap. But it is forty-eigh1 blocks from the store, a distance o nearly two and a half miles for the tw< children to walk. They ride once cad day, which leaves their mother $3 4( out of the sailary, which, with her owr earnings, gives her about $650 a week to pay rent and feed and clothe a fami ly of six, What the hardships of sue a life are cannot be known save b3 those who go through its hourly draf and toil and who feel in all its keennes: the heavy anxiety of a continual striv. ing for bread. Jessie's case is typical; that is to say there are hundreds, nay thousands, o children like her employed in great bi( stores and palaces of merchandis< throughout the city at wages whict would startle the political economist it "listed" for him as samples of the growth of American industry and pro gress. Here, again, you find the effec of extraordinary, and one cannot hell saying evil immigration. Young Ameri can girls are crowded cut by the Jew ish girls of the same classes as thos4 spoken of before. Jessie works fo: small wages. They work for less, and moreover, they are deemed very valu able, because, as a rule, they can tall German as well as English and can at tend to two classes of customers. REAL ESTATE IN GOTHAM. It Sesll at $115 a Square Foot-Some Bil Tsxpayers. [Richard Wheatley, in Harper's Mag azine for November.] The total assessed valuation of real es. tate in the city of New York in 1886 wa. $1,203,941,065 ; in 1887, of 161,334 plot of real estate, $1,2.54,491,849-showing an increase in one year of $50,550,784 But as the assessed is less than two thirds of the market value, the wholh is not worth less than two billion dol ars. Real and personal property with in the municipality has grown through out the past decade more than $40,000, 000 per annum. The books in the office of the Commissioners of Taxes and Assessments state the amount o: taxes paid by every real estate holder al the rate of $2-16-100 on every hundrec of the assessed valuation. But thes4 figures do not con tsitute a trustworthy standard in the determination o: market values, for the asserted reasol that some assessments in down-towi wards, are of more than market value in other wvards of only one-third, othern one-half,and still others two-thirds. Va ant lots are assessed at from 29 to 3( per cent-, improved property from .5( to 70 per cent., of real value. Inequit ab.e as the assessments are, it is yet true, as attirmeid by ex-Mayor Willian R. Grace, that "upon no species o: property can taxes be levied with mort equality as to value, nor with bette3 chances of speedy and equitable collec tion, than upon real property." "ThE valuation placed upon personal estatE from all sources is not more than nine teen per cent. of the valuation placed upon real property, and taxes from this source are most difficult of collection. Of the annual city budget, which gen erally amounts to from thirty-one tc thirty-four millions of dollars, the tax ation imposed upon real estate supplies more than four-fifths."' HOW REA L ESTATE IS MfADE TO SEE1 woRT H 3MORE TH AN IT IS. Sonme affirm that not more thac twenty-five per cent. of all the deeds recorded express the bona fdc conisid eration paid by each buyer for hih property. With an eye to future gains he is wont to insert, or cause to be in serted, figures other than those whici: deote the real amount of cash trans f erred. Unprincipled dealers arrangE matters so that deeds of property bought shall express pu rchase-money at higher sunms than were actually paid, and cause them to be made out t< "dumies," who are probably clerks in their own offices. The dummy ther borrows money, as much as or more than what was paid upon the property and secures the lender by bond and mortgage. Trhis (lone, he transfers th~ property to the real b.iyer, who putsi on the market at still higher pricE loudly asserverates that it worth all b~ asks, aind points to the amount of thE mortgage in proof of his p)rotestationis Lenders, he says, do not loan to thE full value of the s.eurity. This devicE is often successful. The price nominally paid for real es tate in New York is by no means sure guide to its actual worth. This is contingent upon locality, imiprove ments, and residential or commercia advantages. It depends greatly upot adventitious circumstances, which th< intending purchaser should judiciousla consider upon the spot. Unlike the se curities manipulated at the Stoek Ex change, or the merchandise handled b3 the Produce Exchange, it has no tem porarily fixed or quotable value. Ii the judgment of dealers it is wortil what the owner or broker can sell il for. sunshine and shadow are factor: or value. Property on the west sid< of the avenues amt on the south side of er1">ss streets is worth on the averagt about twenty-nive per cent, more that similar property on the opposite sidle because it is shaded in the afternoons when womien are wont to make theil purchases. The northerly side of street: and the easterly side of avenues are fo: that reason and for lower rentals pre ferreJ for domiciles. REAL ESTATE BY TIlE sQUAICE FOOT The possibilities of usefulness to society inherent in land are dependent on the labors of individuals or of cor porations. The greater the expendi ture of labor, the higher is the esti mate of value. This is the rule of civilization. Land has reached its highest price on this side the Atlantic in the lower wards of New York. When the Drexei Building, at the southeast corner of Wall and Broad streets, was erected, the price per square foot of the ground whereon it stands was the highest paid up to that time. When, in 1882, William H. Vander bilt gave $40 per square foot for the lots on Fifth Avenue, Fifty-second and Fifty-third streets, on which the fam ily mansions stand, that was the highest price ever pait for residential purposes. For store sites on Fifth Ave nue, $65 per square foot were paid in March, 1886. 1). O. Mills paid $85 per square foot for the area occupied by his magnificent building on Broad Street, the Astors $100 per square foot for Nos. S and 10 Broadway, and the Williams burg Fire-insurance Company $115 per square foot for the site of their equally impressive structure on the northeast corner of Liberty Street and Broad way. In the neighborhood of the old Jumel estate prices rose from 75 to 100 per cent. between 1882 and March, 1886. The ceaseless and costly industry of the commonwealth will undoubtedly raise prices to higher figures, and entail heavier taxes upon owners. These will continue to profit by the unearned increment of value ; to sell, mortgage, donate, and bequeath as usual ; and how this can or ought to be otherwise, under the ordinary operation of demand and supply, and of the natural desire of possessors to make the best possible use of their own property, is a ques tion that the vast majority will not pause to consider. SOME BIG TAX-PAYERS IN NEW YORK. On the 3rd of October, 1887, Receiver of Taxes George W. McLean received from the Consolidated Gas Company, $223,310; estate of W. H. Vanderbilt, $171,124; New York Central Railroad, $343,613; Mutual Life-insurance Com pany, $52,984; Standard Oil Company, S$28,709; estate of Robert Gxoelet, $107, 396; John Jacob Astor, $235,040; Wil liam Astor, $170,000. Real ostate owned by the city rarely conies into market, nor is it available to any great extent for the reduction of taxation. In 1871 A. J. Bleecker, A. H. Muller, and Cortlandt Palmer were appointed by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to appraise all the real property belong ing to the city and county of New York. This they did, including parks, public buildings, station and engine houses, wharves, docks, markets, etc., and estimated the value of the whole at 8244,000,000, basing the estimate on the numiber of lots, 25 by 100 feet, into which it might be divided. Central Park, together with Manhattan Square, on which is the Seventh Regiment Armory, was appraised at S7:3,275,000; Madison Square at $2,253,000; Union Square, S2,290,000; Washington Square, $2,230,000; and Reservoir Square at $1, 342,000. In 1887 the Commissioners of Taxes and Assessments estimated the value of the city property in New York exempt from taxation at S190,841,130; that of the United States at $16,.550,000; -of the churches at $42,230,300; and of shools, charities, etc., at $34,231,620-a grand total of $283,853,050.

The Quaint Actor's New I':ays-Everybody Bewltched-"A Poor Relation" and His Waifs-Refined Fun the Pure Gold of Comedy. f For many years Mr. Sol Smith Ru,sell has been acknowledged without question the most quaint and delightful of all the droll comedi r -ans of the stage. Ht .s fun has ever been the refined gol-i of comedy, vnd appealing al most solely to the intelligence of his audiences, he has drawn about him a circle of friends and ad mirers who, al SOL SMTUI R Ss.Em.. though they may not be regular pla: _oers, always go to see "Old Sol." He is thus often called "the veter.n comedian;" his age being forty, and yet Mr. Russell has been on the stage since his boyhood. Being himself the best story. teller in America, it would be strange, indeed, if there were not some good stories to be re lated of him. When Sol was a very small lad he lived in Jacksonville. Iii., w.th his parents, who were very religious and who had set their hearts upon making minis ters of the Gospel outen o' Sol" and another brother. The fam.ly removed to St. Louis. where Sol got a taste of the theater and nnaule his first appearance w th Ben IeHar, of blessed memory. Youin Rus:elI 3oined the celebrated Berger Fauily and became famous as a ii.nI man all through the South and West". The ot her broth -r became a minister. aill swne few years ago Cler -yrman Rssl prcache.l on Sunday in Jacksonville when he was president of a coliege and Actor Russell played on Mon day. Very stead ily has Mr. :u: sell climbed ip the conie .v sid:e of the liStriunir - ladder, until to-C day he is reco ized as one of 3 the tgreaitest.. a~ he is out of the wealth.est,of a i -7 our cOoedians. He is ono of the~ few fun-maker~s who believe tlhat A ar- 's possiblein ~.4 modern comedy. He resorts -nono buffoonery. and i his methods are/ not those of th' clown. H2 is eminently the e~ comedian of the ladies. His miag- TIlE flOWLING sWELL. netisnm is as cai tivating as his smile is genial and sunny; in a word, he is natural, and while the p)arquette loves him the galleries roar at him. Mr. Russell is constantly improving in his art, and many critics have asserted that the mantle of Joseph Jeff.erson wvill fall on his shoulders when that great artist makes his final exit. HeI. i:niantes none and has no imi tators. Eugenie Field. the poet of the Chi cago .Vcrs, witing of Russel!. says that Henry Irving saidl to him: "EKvery time I have been in A merica I have k2pt on the alert in tile liope of discovering a distinct American ta pe-.-one American combin ing andI illustrating the foibles and the beatutes of A merican character as distinct from the English-speaking cousin across the ocean. Such an illustration have I found in Sol $mith Russell, and the dis covery has given me more pleasure and brought me nearer to a knowiedge of the American people than all the other ex periences I have had in this country." Mr. Russell's great success during the past two seasons has been a farcical comedy by Edward E. Kidder, entitled "Bewitched." in this piece an Indian "IT IS is MOTHER." amulet gets into a quiet family and be witches every body. it transforms Hal cyon Todd (31r.Russem!l from a good youn., man into a howling swell, as pictured else where. The Y. 31. C. A. young man dis covers that his mother is earning a living by singing songs in ma e attire. She has long been lost to him, and rushes in and embraces him (as shown above). The amulet creates no end of confusion and a vast deal of fun, and Mr. Russell acts with his arms. feet and legs as wvell as his face in it. and keeps the audience roaring constantly. "Bewitched " h as been such an immemse success that MIr. Kidder was commissoned many months ago to write an entirely dif ferent play for 31r. Russell-one that would show his many -s de.1 gentius. This he has \ tI - d NOA i. RhP ANI) PATch. done in "A Po-or Rielat:nn," a four act comedy-drama. which introduces Mr. Russell. as a shabby-genteel genius Poverty-stricken even to hunger he keeps up his'dignity and his spirits and is as witty as he is brave and generous. "A Poor Relation" is Noah Vale, an he is sh"wn above in company with Rip and Patch, two waifs whom he takes care of. "A Poor Relation" is a great success, and in both plays Mr. Russell is given an opportunity to intro duce his world-f'mous songs and skcetches which have so endeared him to the hets nf the neon1e. - - True as Yreaching.

[Woman's World for November.] Entering now in inagination our lady's own rooms, we perceive at once that one of her principal interests ai occupations was the toilet. Though dress was simple in fashion (consisting among the higher ranks of a line linen under-dress, the deiicate fabric being imported from Egypt, above which was a long tunic of fine white wool, reaching below the knee, and confined at the waist by a girdle), the adjuncts were numerous and often costly. Splendid clasps of gold for the out-door tunic, a long wide miantel, often richly dyed, one end of which was thrown gracefully over the shoulder; silken veils of flimsy texture embroidered with gold and a profusion of jewelry, rendered the toilet of our Ponipeian an intricate and serious business. On the table lay for choice the earrings and rings, the bracelets, armlets, and ank lets, of gold and silver, and precious stones, in designs of the variety of which the accompanying illustration will but give a faint idea. Fine cameos were usually employed for the rings; the earrings took the form of hoops of pearls and other stones, or little figures in gold, Cupids being a favorite de sign; and rows of coral and taalaehite, beetles, and pendants in arabesque patterns and ornaments in the Etruscan style, formed the necklaces. The brace lets were often in the form of serpents twining many timies round the arm, or were thick circlets, either plain or embossed with precious stones or pearls. There, too, lay boxes for rouge and other cosmetics, with nuriberless ivory combs, perforated in graceful patterns, and small tools, as pinchers, nail-pol ishers, and the like; numerous vases and jars for perfume, hairpins twisted and ornamented in various ways, safety pins of all sizes, and in all kinds of metal, from iron to gold; gold ribbon for girdles or fillers, and nets of the finest gold thread for head-dresses; mystic armlets of every sort giving the finishing touch to the varied collec tion. Besides the bedsteads and chairs of bronze, the coverlets of which were then soft carpets or furs, the room con taitned finely-chased bronze coffers and chests of cedar-wood, which held the robes and valuab,les of our lady; while ebony boxes, richly carved, were full of jewelry. In that beauty-loving age, the woman spent a great deal of time inl personal adornment; the dark hair was often bleached or diyed a gol den color, the eyebrows painted, the nails polished by the attendant slaves. who, if our lady happened to be of a quick temper, probably suffered for any inadventure under the lash of the verseer, or received a pric:k from the long hairpin of her mistress. Most likely the household r'ffairs of a Pompeian lady were confined to the superintendence of her women ia the spinning-room, or of the attendants of the children of the house. Sonie lady landowners may have had to transact business with their stewards, but be yond this, they had p)lenty of time for visiting the baths and theatres, or wvor shipping in the temnples. The old state religion bas, at that time, lost its hold n the public mind, but the worship of the Egyptian gods had much attraction for the women, and the time spent at the Temple of Isis was so exaggerated by them that resort to the latter was once forbidden by edict. The Roman baths, with all their details, have beeni so often described that we wvill not touch on them at length. Suffice it to say that our Pompeian lady had ample pportunity of enjoying their delights, and gossiping the. hours away at the splendid establishments in Pompeii, which often served as a place of ap pointment to meet friends or lovers, where intrigues could be carried on or the topics of the day be freely discussed. Borne thither in her litter, or proceedl ing on foot, accompanied by her slaves, our Pomnpeianl spent hours in the wo men's part of the establishmien t .whence she could either depart by a side-door a-s privately as she camne, or mix in the crowd in the courts.

A man in North Georgia uses a coffin handle for a door knob and there is not a negro in the county who would open that door even though the house were full of chickens.
