A woman on Twenty-soventh street recently resolved to treat all callers with tourtesy, evei beggars and peddiers, * for,” she soliloquized, “the poor people have to make a living these Yiard times and must be often discouraged by the rude rebufls they encounter {n the prosecu- tion of thelr business.”” 8ho began Thursduy Jast, and when about B:45 8. . & _ragged little girl came to the door and suld, % Matehizzl¥ re- plied, **No, roy ehilld, thank you,” At 0:10 tue hel) 1ang, and going tothe door, sho was coune fromt:d by a peach plrate, who suid: * Fino, ripe peud] 8 lnidy, 15 cents & pecki” 4 No, thand you." ** Gresn cornt Tonatoes | Potatoes Cucumbera!

AN ARISTOCRATIC NUTCHER DRTAILS IS PLAN. In presenting to the public the following echeme, the undersigned desires to premise an clucidation of tho detaits by the statement that he has been for several years an aristoerat, and iseven yet well known in fashlonable circles, Asn gentlemnn he lins been accustomed to observo the operation of thegastric julees and tha digestive organs upon food, aud, having had from time to time varlous opportunities for entering upon amlytical and syuthetical cxperlments of eating consfdered from fts most artistic standpoint, he bas determined, slnce the asperitics of fate have thrown him upon his beam- ends and the results of his investigations, to go finto the butcher business, The wmdersigned does not desire the public to un- derstand that le has lost his aristocratic ten- dencles, On the contrary, ho proposes to turn lils goclety tralning Into a chiannel which will reflect erédit uFmI the soclety that tralned him. e does not wish it understood that he bas lnst caste. His object In this new venture is merely to throw around meat and vegetables that halo and glamor which will make the edibles all the more welcome to the taste of the epleurcan, und temper the shorn lamb to the sweet breath of Chicaga's belles and beaux, TIH UNDENSIONED hins for years contemplated, with the well-bred erief of a gentleman, tho hardships sustalned by the socin) world in the necessity of eating grub Eurvey:d by the vulzar and jlliterate, aud he us only been waitiug for his long-expected cra of fmpécuniosity to unite the compllation of stamps with tiio sale of provisions in such fashion a8 to attract tho attentivn of the fns- tidlous to thefifll—cdgcd style in which the thing can be done by a mun who hus thor- oughly grounded himself in the rudimentary principles as well as the diversiiied accomplish- ments of peddiing provender, adapted solely to the rich and entirely beyond the reach of ‘the poorer and vulgar clnascs, With this commendation to the public, the plan s respectfully presented, Ou the 1st day of April next the undersigned wlill open his new meat parlors on Wubash ave- nue, near Twcnl{mwund strect, The establish- ment will differ in arrangement from the ordi- nory and Jow-toned butcher shop as much s dues the succulent and juiey porter-house, taken from the blooded cow, from the dry and chip-like production of the uneducated heifer of thie uacivilized Western pluns, The tloors will becovered with budy Brussels or velvet carpet, with a nent though suldlued strip running from the curb to the entrunce of the parlors, The usual aspeet of bloody and fly-coverad nal matter will be replaced by chalee und attractive selections from the most yilted aniinala, set up- on_Parlan marble platters on alubaster pedestals. These will e covered with the sproy from perfumed fountaing, ut once coollng the atmosphere and affording to custom- ersarcliel from any sugrestion of the Stock- Yards, through which, by the unfortunateLopog- raphy of our city, most of the anlmal trains are compelled to pass. Sofns aml settees and tete-n-tetes will abound, and canting chairs will be provided for the accommodation of the most Ianguld. A specimen of cach urtleds will he cooked in cvc? varlety and_posibility of style, and served to the patrons of the parlors, and fn- strnetlons for cooking and serving up will ac- company cach salo. TUE UNDERSIGNED, . at the risk of Lelng prolix, would urge upon the commnunity the sdvantuges of the Twst-named feature, and while he scornfully repudiates any imputation upon his philanthropy, or the accu- Ratlon that such a course wonld be his reason Lor his high prices, he Insists that his experienco s adiner-out pernits him, nay even demands of him, the Ineuleation of the lessous of his own experlence, nnd therefors warrants him In suggesting to our_loeal nobility the best methods uf cookery. Lamb's fries and tender- loins will be another feature. The fluest of rib ronsts will go haud in hand with a pre-eminent desire;to educate the aristocrutic stomach to the full appreclation of the bounties of Divine Providence, and home-made sausages will link with themselves o demonstration that the II;IF has become susceptible of a higher moraly mental, aud physical elevation. Veal will bo fntroduced, fresh.from maternal fount, and sarved up white and sparkliog ns the demngns- e tized silver, The “liver of the youthlul veal will be carefully reserved in fee, oslde Dby side with the the smoked 'slabs of the plg, and sold contem- porancously for the delectation of thuse who enjoy tnost of all the matutinal meal. The only vermin to be allowed about tho parlors will be the {ngenuous musk-rat, and any inattention on the part of the gentlemen engaged In cutting up tho “stuff will be prnnirl,ly reported ut the elegant offices which will be fitted up atthe buck of the parlors. In undertaking this enterprise the under- Ms:n:d has -atudied the taste of the customers whose patronnge he respecctfully solleits, The ceilings will be frescoed, gndd the meat will be cut with that delleacy of tusto and superlority of art over which the undersigned ‘submits he has secured perfect control. Thu 5enucmnuly attendants wlll be attired In full | rees sults, with white gloves, and have been tralned to servo up any article, froni o ronst to s pork clhion, with that subdued deference which soclety hns aright todemand of nnf one to whom its exponents puy their money while muking o cholee. The pork will be subjected to the action of chemicals prior to its exposition for enle, and our lovellest belles will tind it safe from even the suspicion of the anlnalculis which kills, but which should ot bo named fua polite adver- tisoment. Coffec and chocolate will be served to patrons, aud the lightest purctinses will en~ titie the purchaser to refreshing draughts from the elegant cups, each of which wiil bear o full- slzod photograph of TIE UNDERSIGNED. Boys will be In waiting to carry bundles to the atylish turnouts that have mnde Chicago fn- mous, and orders will be promptly filled In an elegant barouche. In aunouncing that this will bethe “ lighest- priced establishment In the world,” the under- signed fecls that ho will seeitro the patronage of the hest people inthe clty, It has been for sume time evident that socluty hus beconie tired of low dlet, and in putting his prices ut the yery top nowh the undersigned thinks he ‘commenda his parfors to the var{ Tighest toned. Meat for dogs will accompany sll articles urchased, und will bo praded from’ the tid-bits or the lag-pet to the most substantial for the house cunine. With this bricf allusion to his plan, TR UNDERSIONED puts himself in the hands of bis friends, well assurcd thut Iigh-priced virtue will Lave its own reward, and that society will soon grow fat on the unJersh;ncu'n grub, it OnLANDO P.

THE POLITICAL FIELD, RO AND COXN, Up to the present timo the Communists in the United States have been divided {nto threo different organizations, cach one striving to obtaln tho same end, namely, the emancipation of the workingmen from the chains of capital, as they call It, but differing materially as to the best manner of securing this end. The In- ternationals were the most radical, and believed thnt the only way in which the workingman could obtain his rights was to divide equally everything, and wipe out all capltal. They were fully in uecord with all the cruel measures carrled on by the Paris Communists during thelr short “but memorable refgn. The Sovtallsts wero less radieal. They did not countenance the acheme for the division of property and the nonihilation of caplital, ~ but they demanded that eight hours should be a legal dny’s work, the discon- tingance of couviet labor, that children be prohibited trom working before haying reached u certaln age, that women be l.)luuetl on an equal foutlng with the men, ete. The Worklugmen's Party of Illinois was the title of tho third or- ganization, ‘This one was a conglomeration of Internationalists, Soclalists, and soreheaded workInginen, lnc'udlng also a number of dead- beats and oflice-scckera who had joined thom fur the purpose of fcrmnn] gain, ~ They wero jueal to fllinols and were organized by Carl Rlings, 1L, Zimpel, and others about 2 year af- ter the fire, fur the purpose of securlng “control of the (um[flul the Rellef and Ald Soclety, Ow- fng to the coustant troubles between theso varl- oty organizations, cach party pulling in_a different dircetlon, Communism {n this country has mado but littls prog- ress and the organizations stood in danger of dissulution, To ayert this the threo bodies clected delegates and sent them to Philadelphia to effcet a unlon of all the Commuulsts In the country, and unite them into one organization, Alwrnlvng and excited sesslon o fuslon wos effected, and the Manazing Boards of the Inter- nationals, the Soclallsts, and the Workingmen's Party of illinots were induced to resigu, TIHE NEW ORUANIZATION I8 called the Warkingmen's Party of the United Stater. The progruinine is the same a8 that of thu Workingmen's Party of Illinols, adopted two or three years ago. It scems that the Workingmen's Party of Tllinols hud gobbled up all thy other Communists in tha Unite Btates. Thls latter organization has gobbled up all the leading officess, aud aleo tho general headquarters, ‘This fs, however, as it should be, for the Workingmen's Party of Iliinols, or rather the Chleago Communists, are about all there Js of Commnunism in tho United States, Outside of this city the Communista are us seurce us strawberries In wintor, Sinee chunging thelr nomes, the Communists have been rather netive, and have been holding mectings all over the city, explaining the abjeet of the organization to the workingmen, 8o far the meetings have all been very tame aflalrs, and the one held yestesday afternoon at Bo- hemfan Hall, corner of Portland avenue and Twenty-filth street, was no exceptlon tothe gen- cral rule, About L‘xlrly persons wero addressed by Mr. Jncob Winnen, the gencral agent of the ].mr 1o read the progamme and explalned t, uind then stated that the party had declded that they would not mix in politics aa yet, They had to “galn thelr cnds outsids of politics, Every member of the Associstion was enjoined from voting or working for canldates {n this cam- pulgn.

The “Ring * members, who had o peraistently hated Patrick Fannlng, because hls bid was the lowest and he had refused to give themn money for' thelr votes, wore greatly exercleed, They had thought that their awnrd to MceNell was the end of the stone fight, and that thelr steal had been accomplishied, having been nssured by McNell that all of the coples of the agreement between Fuanlng and him had been destroyed. Their nstonishment at the publication of the document in these col- umns, a8 & consequence, Was n great set-back, They were entirely mystified, and the further they cxamined Into the matter the greater grew the complications surrounding their pro- posed steal, They had been beaten in making the award direct to Walker, and also In making {t to the man Walker had nanied as his success- or, and now they were again disappolnted, and thelr thicving dealgns were more thoroughly cxposed aud clearly praven just at the moment whon thoy thought they ‘were safest!

Under the old system, eaya the Adrlan Press, a locomotive would be fired up at Elkhart and run to Chicago or Toledo, and then go fnto the round-house, be allowed to cool off, ond was thoroughly cleaned and wiped, DBut under the new arrangement a locomotive (s fived up at Elkhart, {8 run to Chi- curro, where another engineer tnkes her and runs buck to Elkhart, where engincers change ogain and she runa to Toledo, s unother en- AT, abominable incer takes her and runs back to Elk- hart, Thue the eugine makes the round trip with _ four engincers, without coollng off, Bupt. Curtls informs us that it requires an cighth of a cord of wood tp get up stenm in a locomotive, and by the old systetn where four were required to” muke the “roun trip, one-half cord of wood was consumed In geiting up eteam, whilo with the new system only ouc-tighth will bs uscd, and the same amount of worle will be done, Aud there will bo another lurt;o saving In tho item of wiplng. It costs about $1.25 'to clean u locomotlye, as they are always wiped when they (53 into tho round-nouse, and with between Chicago and Toledo to be kept i order, tho saviug will bo a lurge amount ina {unr.u where o locomotive was wiped four imcs before she will ouly be wiped once now. Heretofore enginoors have had thelr regulur ene filxwu, and have run and become kdentified with them, but the new systom will do away with this, und will test the capaclty of the runners to a great extent.

The Alleged F:‘\‘ct's of the Scan- al, Interviews with the Husband, the Wifo, and the Third Party. A Somewhat Significant Story from an Qutsider, 1) Probabllity that the Diffculty W Be Amicahly Arranged. Dramatic Neies (New York), Aug, 10, During the past week, and particularly since the publication of n paragraph in the Dramatic News of last week, [headed * A Dramatie Scan- dnl,* reports have been fiying around the clty involving the good name of an actress weil known on the metropolitan boards. Tho fact that entirely false stories have got abraad con- cerning the scandal, and that In portieular the Boston Jferald hua told the iucidents in the case in a peeullarly distorted manner, made (¢ incum- ‘bent upon us to go into the true facts of the case, nt the request of the parties thomselves. The actress compromised in the matter fs Mrs. Dore Lyon, better known by her stage-nnme of Miss Kate Claxton, Let us say here that Miss Claxton’s conduct haa been indiscrect, but tbat both the publle and her fricnds will be glad to know that It has not heen crimiual. There is nothing so delicate as a wom- an's reputation, partlcularly swhen thut woman Ison the stage, andthe clreumstances of the present will demonstrate how dangerous le the slightest latitudo which an actress may nllow lerself. A reporter of the Dramatle News was sent out, in view of the fact that the false side of the story was golng around, to find the true facts of the case. The general facts reported were, that Mr. Lyon, the husband of Miss Clax- ton, had come (n to hils wlfe In o manner which 1eft bim no deubt that he wasa decelved hus- band. Mr. Dore Lyon's own statement of the cage will best sct this rumor aside.

It had at all events become evident that the attentlons of Alr, Stevenson to my tvife were belng discussed, and therefare that my foars were confirmed, 1 hastened to my wife's” ronm and upbraided her with the mstter, I grow very much cxcited indeed on the subject.
