The horse-car stopped at a crossing, and a news-boy jumped on the platform. 'Have a Times, Inquirer, Pressf 'Til take n Times," said one of a group of school-girls. '0 Jenny"' said another.

The old gentleman's grave look of rebuke angered the girl. ''It makes me sick!" she said, with a ^ look of disgust "The conductor ought i | not to aliow him to' come on board."

Everybody on the car ex shn^f but he ! cVii-wxc v/*. ? said, gently: "If the Beast was not he re. the people on the ear would not appreciate the Beauty at her real value," and then bowing to her, he went out, amid the smiles of all the passengers. The old gentleman?who was a wellknown physician, l)r. Avery?followed him, but he was already out of .sight. : "Who is that boy?" he asked the conductor. "His name's Willy, and his route is ; on this street. 1 don't know anything more." -He has an educated voice, and he showed good breeding and sense just now." "No doubt Tiic other newsboys call him 'Gentleman Bill/ Everybody likes j him. We conductors give him the freedom of the cars 011 this street/' A few days afterwards. Dr. Avery was on a car late in tho evening, when Willy came in, carrying a large bundle of papers. He sold none, ami turned to go out, looking discouraged and anxious. Dr. Avery stopped him, drew out a papei\ and handing him a piece of silver, said, "Never mind the change." rAfi " ci;,! tl,f> hrsr. smil \Jy buaua J ing, as he gave it to him. "Why not, young independence?1' "I don't need alms. sir. 1 really get on very well. And if I did?v "You would not take it?*' "It would be the hardest thing I ever had to do. Good-evening, sir?" and touching his cup, the little hunchback j swung himself off the car. Dr. Avery after that often met the i boy, who puzzled and interested him. There was nothing morbid in him: he : was always ready with a laugh or a merry.; answer. His voice was controlled and gentle; and there was a fine courtesy, a ' tact, a delicate feeling, in all h:s words, that wc do not find sometimes m llaosc ; who call themselves gentlemen. In spite of the boy's wretched clothes anil patched shoes, Dr. Avery found himself talking to him as to an-equal, and : always, thought of him as his little ... friend. Late one night, when it was storm- 1 ing heavily, he met him, trudging down i Chestnut street. "You have a haru life, my boy," ho said, kindly. "Xot so hard as you think, sir," he ' said, cheerfully. "I am never sick an hour. Then 1 do a better business than i other boys because of?this,'7 glancing ; down or. his deformed bodv. "Oh!" The doctor was confused for a min uwv? "Have you any plans, Willy? Do . you ever look forward?" "Yes. Oh, 1 have it all planned out! | If T could save enough to start a streetstall of books and papers, then after a year or two I would be able to open a shop, and then a big store. Some men who began that way in Phiiadel-1 phia have become publishers, and live in beautiful houses of their own."' 'Hillo! Do you care tor line houses?" "Not for myself, sir." He became suddenly silent, aud at . the corner of the next street said "Goodnight!" and ran away. A moment later Dr. Avery heard cries and. "shouts iu the direction which Willy j had taken; but such things are common in a great city. He hurried home. The next morning, looking over the paper, he read: "A little hunchback newsboy, known as ; 'Gentleman Will,'was knccliod down by a | runaway horse last night. Dr. Johns pronounced the injuries mortal. The lad was; taken to the Penn Hospital."' jDr. Avery was soon beside the cot j on which the misshapen little body was laid. Willy looked up, trying to smile. "It. is not so bad as they say, is-it? i can't die now! I have too much to do.': "What have you to do, my boy? j Let me be your friend; let me iieip you, if I can." "I thought you would come, maybe. ^ I haven't anybody to comc. The boys Hk are good friends, but they couldn't do ' BBL anything-now." "I have come, you see. Tcli me what ' Efe I can do, my boy."

"If I-could sL~rt the stall?the shop? a carriage for Letty.*' The doctor was forced to leave him. I "When he came back iu the afternoon, he was rational, nnd when the doctor wished to go for his sister, said: "2so, don't bring Lstty here. She : mustn't know how poor I am.

"I went once with some papers to a Quaker boarding-school for girls near town, sir. They were such loTely young ladies. I always thought I'd send Letty there v.-hen I could get a the money.

" * - - T A*. ~ Dr. Avery was canal oui 10 near uie verdict of the surgeons. When he came back Willy gave one look at him aud sank back, covering his face. "There is sfiil a chance, my boy, though but a slight one. I think it best to tell you the exact truth. Morning will decide. Would it comfort you to have Letty with you? I have brought her to town."' "Yes! yes! It doesn't matter now thit she knows I am a poor little newsboy."' Letty was a sturdy, red-cheeked little woman, whose every word showed a heart I'nii <>: leve and a Head full ot good sense. She petted and soothed "Willy, while he clung to her, and then said, cheerily: *Xow. dear, vou 111:1st iro to sleeo. - - SM'I- t?^t.. iou arc not go;:i? io mo. \ uu uwwia don"I know how strong you arc. The nurse says 1 may s;L hero and hold your hand, and in the morning give you your breakfast.*' For days the boy lingered between life and death. One morning, after the doctors had made their examination, his old friend came to him and taking his band solemnly, said: "Willy, tiod has given you the chance you asked for to do something iu the world. You will live." When lie was able to be removed, uv. Avery took the children to his own house, lie laid before Willy a statement of his father's a Hairs that he hail received from Savannah, which showed that enough count be rescued from the wreck of nis estate to yield a small income for the children. It proved to be .enough to educatc Letly at the Quaker school to whicii Willy dreamed of sending her, and tc give him a thorough training in collegt and the law-schools.

The Proper English Walk. j Something now appeared in New ; York a short time ago, but though it 13 English, and has apparently come to : stay, it lias not met with a fervid reception. Jt is the lurching English ! walk. Perhaps the most proficient of iu> votaries is a Londoner named Bensen, wiio came here with a lot of letters | jx-cenlly, and has spent all his time j since in dashing up and down the steps ! of Fifth avenue residences, leaving vast j quantities of cards upon the citizens'of I Xew York.

Of all the walks this is iLie most absurd, To begin, in good form, the knees must never be straightened under any circumstances, and the toes should be iurned out as far as possible without ! putting iiie heels iu advance of them. | This gives a rather parenthetical icoi; j to the legs from the front elevation, but it is undoubtably corrcct, nevertheless. "avinflf assumed this posture, the walker should lean his body forward from the hips, draw his shoulders over in front, elevate the chin as far as possible. and theu start off with the arms hanging straight at the side. Bend the knees outward at every step and move as rapidly as possible. Repeat as before. and then rest eight minutes in a horizontal position. Altogether the , walk is not unlike that affected byvarie- ! iy actors mimicking old plantation ; darkies, and 1 am told that if a man I hums gently some such strain as | f iiml.in-T f *d the (loldcn Stairs'' while ! pcriVding is:..-.-, '-i iu !?,?. rai^pr details of tiie waik iie wiii bo vastly aitied ; there by. ? 11 'utkiiujlou ."slur.

'1 News from the agricultural districts of California is far more satisfactory j and encouraging ; linn t hat which com.'s ^ from the 5>an Francisco stock markers. a where speculators in mining shares an 1 tdishonest brokers are taking the >:u * of the deluded poor. Varyingestimate t of the size oi the year's vintage are ; i made, but il is admitted by .ill that iho ; :: wine crop of 1SS6 exceeds that or any ' previous year. The Odl asserts that v the crop 15 lo.i'UO.uOO gallons; prom- j v i inent wine merchanrs say ir is I'J,50 000 gallons; and Mr. Do Youajr of the \ Chronicle promises 25.000,""0 iralions. Last year's crop wa.-> only 7.500.000 galIons. The quaiily of this year's vintage . is said to be excellent. Tiie raisin crop is also very large. The Call's estimate i is 500,000 boxes of twenty pounds cacli. as against I'oO.OOO boxes in 1**5. Other : | estimates are larger. The grape crop is enormfcus. Out of 35G.000.000 pound40,000,000 have been shipped eastward I to be used as table fruit. 2u.WU.vJUU 1 | have been consumed in the same form at home, 20,000,000 have been used in making1 brandy. o0,000,000 appear i:i a the form of raisins, and the remainder | has been consumed in making v.-inc. : I The eastward shipments of lemons. ! . limes, and oranges will be twice as L large as they were last year, it is snid. r i owing to the reduction of the freight j ; charges. ' As the crops increase producers in 1 i California are learning new ways ol ' soiling them.' Heretofore the winej makers have been at the mercy of the wine merchants in San Francisco. These merchants unite in fixing a price v to be paid to the producer, and the pro- [ dueer has been forced lo accept it. The > i owners of several large vineyards have ' | recently established agencies in Eastern \ | cities for the sale 01 tneir wines, ana, \ < by escaping the Pacific coast miduie- j t man, have been able to raise the price I which they receive by nearly 10U \?r j i cent. The adoption of this system i \ :: all California producers who make j *' large quantities of wine would work to ' their advantage and to the advantage j1 of Eastern consumers. Many persons jin the East who would like to serve j themselves and encourage the Caii- j fornia producer by buying California wines are restrained because they are " unable to procure the wines under conditions that insure its purity. If such j persons could trade directly with the Eastern agent of well-known vineyards ; the consumption of pure California | j | wines as a substitute for the adulterated ; wines of France would be exeat I v in- j ? i 1 : = ! s I LIUuoCU. ^aiauiui.i aiu i^mu'vi- ^ ! feited itx the East, as the recent con- i L ; demnatiou of i>,000 gallons of the ^ : counterfeit product by otliecrs of the ! health department in Now York city j. ; cleanv shows. ;..

" I was riding across c-oun- i I try m Maryland, aoout twenty miles j i from "Washington, when I came upon 1 ! what appeared to be a muskrat's nest, c : only at the top there was a hole, black- 1 ^ ened around the edges. A further in- = Testigation showed a side opening aboufc large enough to allow a man to j , crawl in. I knocked by tossing a corn| stalk down the chimney, and in n, few J : moments there appeared from the door j a negro so hideous, so bestial in every : feature, that my v<fry horse backed off. ! ' j It was the missing iink, if tliere ever . ; was one, and the jargon of sounds that j the creature uttered only added co the strangeness of his appearance. I could k not understand a word, and rode over j the fields to a house where the owner ' not only gave me the history of the strange being, but induced me to crawl j[ into the den after him. The man could ^ only talk in a gibberish understood by j his employer. He was not an idiot, as i jwe might have supposed, but wc.s simp- ; rj iy, as my acquaintance put it, a type of ; e the lowest kind. He had owned him j before the war, and he was valued as a ; a .laborer, preferring to work in ditches, j v often up to his waist in water, where he i would wallow like a hog. His ex- j e owner told me that the man claimed to a have been a prince in his native coun- d try, that he was sold as a slave and brought to Florida, and finally again At. tli.it *5mo lip heirx*' paid a nominal sum, which he gave to ; ? an alleged relative, reserving only j ^ enough to supply himself with food and s< tobacco. The underground burrow was ; " reached by crawling through a short k tunnel that led ir^to a room below the surface of the ground, with room for j three or four persons to sit, but not stand.
