He is the slave of duty at all noun of the day and night To-day he is here, to-morrow there. On Monday he may bo among thieves and murderers, on Tuesday among noliticia men, and on Wednesday among ladies and gentlemen. He may be even among all throe on the same day. I remember a cold, raw morning in February when I had to get up long before daylight and make a breakfast out of Oliver Hitch cock’s coffee and cakes and run for a train. That afternoon I found myself on board of a large European steamer, which had stranded high and dry on the New Jersey sands. I shared the cap tain’s dinner while the waves came dash ing against the vessel's side Wi«u a force that threatened to make us food for sea worms at any moment I came back I wet ami weary that night but there was no rest for me yet To Delmonico's I must go, as soon aa I could change my clothing, and partake of a great banquet Such is the life of s newspaper reporter.

The last mentioned tract contained the Phillipse manor house, which is at present toe City Hall of Yonkers. Mary Phillipse was at the time above mentioned, living with bar lister, and was rendered, by wealth and personal attractions, one of the leading toasts of the day.

It ia suggested that horns may be bred-off by searing them when the calves are young. Everybody knows that dogs and cats have been bred with out tails, yet analogy might signify nothing, as sheep, whose tails are cut close when they are lam be, continue, after many generations, to raise lambs whose tails, in turn, would be long, if they were not cut. But a family of Ayreahire cattle bred in Scotland, originally had their ears clipped from year to year to donate ownership.
