From the New York Sun, Typothetw, an association of New Yorkers having more or less to @o with types, comme- morated the birthday of Benjamin Franklin by a dinner at Deimonico’s, which was enjoyed by ‘over 200 guests. Mark Twain's text was “The Compositor.” Thts is what he said: Tam staggered by the compliments which have been lavished and poured out on me by my friend on my right (Mr. Batley).

Every man on the town list helped eal the thing; that is, hegave orders as to how it was to be edited; dictated its opinions, marked out its course for It, and every tine the boss failed to connect, he stopped his paper. We were just infested with crities,and we tried to satisfy them all over. We ‘had one subscriber who paid cash, and he was more trouble to us than all the rest. He bought us, once a year, bod: and soul, for two dollars. "He used to modify our polities every which way, and he made us change our religion four times in five years. If we ever tried to reason with him, he would threaten to stop his paper, and, of course, that meant bankruptey and destruction. That man used to write articles a column and a halflong, leaded long primer, and sizn them ‘Junius’ or ‘Veritas’ or ‘Vox Popul,’ or some other high- sounding rot; and then, after it was set up, he would come in and say he had changed ‘his mind—which was a gilded figure of speech, be- cause he hadn't ai nd order it to be left‘out, We couldn't stand such a waste as that; we could’t afford ‘bogus’ in that office; so we alway: took the leads “out, altered the signature, credited the article’ to the rival paper in the next Village, and put itin. Well, we did have ‘one or two kinds of ‘bogus.’ Whenever there was @ burbecue, or a circus, or a baptizing, we Knocked off for half a day; and then tomake up for short matter we would ‘turn over ads’—turn over the whole page and duplicate it, The other bogus was deep philosophical stuff, which we Judged nobody ever read; so we kept a gul- ley of it standing and kept on slapping the same old batches of it in, every now and then, UlL it got dangerous. Also, in the early days of the telegraph we ‘used to ecouomize on the news. We picked out the items that were pointless and barren of information and stood them on a galley, and changed the dates and localities and used them over and over again Ull the public interest in them was worn to the bone. We marked the ads, but we seldom paid any attention to the inurks afterward; so the hile of a ‘td’ ad and a ‘tf ad wasequally eternal.

The average wealthy man does not like to make his way toa barber shop and wait there until histurn comes, He has also a vague sus- picion that the barber may use his cup and brushes on other customers, These and other troubles and discomiorts are avoided by having the barber call at your house or at your office. He will come at any hour you fix, before or after breakfast, or at any time during the day. If It is simply an oceasional call he wili_ bring his cup, razor, towels, and bay rum with him, and will change you 50 cents tor his services, If you are a steady customer you will have your own articles and he brings dothing with him, You have the satisfaction then of knowing that the towel is your own und clean, and that the bay rum is not over-diluted. For this regular Visit the charge 1s 35 cents atime, or so much week or month as you may settlé upon. The expense is more than made up by the tlie aud trouble saved. You have always the same bar- ber, and become used to him, and he to you, He gets to know Just how you like to be aha and the location of your tender points. Many barbers do only this kind of business. They have a regular list of fifteen or more cus- tomers, and make their rounds every day, ‘They sre well paid, and, besides, have lo rent to pay and no materials to furnish. “I'd ve perfectly happy if I had twenty steady customers,” sald a barner. “Every barber wants to do this kind of business, but it is hard to get Saztomers, | Sometimes he gets them by adver. re barbe Using in the newspapers, but generally ‘one customer recommends his r to others.

Professer Young Talks About the Meon—Its Probable Origin and Fres- ent State—Advice te Poets. From the New York Tribyne. The first lecture in the course of “Science Matinees,” which are to be held weekly here- after under the management of Ingersoll Lock- wood, was delivered yesterday morning in the ball-room ef the Hotel Brunswick by Professor Young, of Princeton. The subjest was “The Moon,” or as the title read, “The Earth's Petri- fled Daughter.” The lecturer said In opening: “Probably the best way in which I can intro- duce the remarks I have to make this morning is to justfy the somewhat sensational title whieh Ihave chosen. Things are not to-day what they used to be in the dim past. If sctence has taught us one thing more clearly than an- other, it is that all natural phenomena are subject, to change development; evolution, if you ehoose. In the dim past of which I speak, & past which is to be measured, not by years nor thousands of years, but by the earth was probably neither solid nor liquid, bat gous, like the sun; was in tact itself a litle sun. ‘The rotation of this gaseons mass on its axis resulted in the throwing off from the main body perhaps of a ring like the rings of Saturn, rhaps of some excrescence which might have formed on the surface. The matter thus thrown. off solidified, as did the earth ttself, and formed the earth’s fatherless daughter, the moon. In connection with this it is curious to notice the effect which is mutually produced by the earth and the moon upon ‘each other through the tides. The tides, which the earth may be sup- posed to have created on the moon, before its sons were dried up, would tend to’retard the Totation of the moon on itsaxis until the period of this rotation corresponded with the period of its revolution about the earth. Such in fact is now the case, or at least approximately. The moon revolves about the earth once in a mont and having always the same face toward us must make @ single rotation on its axis in the same time. ‘The effect of the tides produced by the moon upon, the earth’s rotation tends in a similar way to increase the length four days, The tides on the earth’s surface also tend to tow the moon along in its orbit, making it go a trifle faster than it would otherwise travel, and thusslightly increasing the length of the mont! “f eall the moon petrified, because It is sto: airless, waterless und probably’ lifeless, course, no bounds can be set tothe creating Power of Deity, and there may be creatures who find the climate of the sun or the moon quite to their liking. No form of organized life, however, as we know it on the earth could exist ©n the moon. It is curious how little actual in- fluence the heavenly bodies have upon mun- dane affairs, Blot out all the stars and the solar system would goon as betore. We should only miss them by their absence from the heavens at night, But take away the moon and at once a wail would go up from all the seaport towns. New York would be ruined. The great steam- hips could no longer come up to thelr wharves, for there would he no tides. Formerly the moon had another great commercial importance as a chronometer. To determine the position of a ship at sea itis necessary to know the ditfer- ence between the ship's time and Greenwich time. The sun furnishes the first and nowadays chronometers furnish the second, But before the days of chronometers the moon was the great time-piece and the stars formed the figures. on __ the dial of the heavens. The _ times at which the moon would ocoupy given posi- tions relatively to the stars in its track could easily be calculated beforehand, and many of the great observatories 1n Exrope, notably those of Paris and Greenwich, were founded with the object of perfecting lunar tables for the use of mariners. The selentific value of the moon cannot be exaggerated. It is hardly too mueh to say that most of the bright things that have been discovered of recent years in mathe- matics have been discovered in the study ofthe moon's movements, We have finully trained her so that she walks nearly in the path that We lag out for her, But from tme to time sh will take the bit between her teeth, and to the horror of astronomers will appear some four or five miles out of her course. — What is the cause Of these deviations we caniot yet determine. “The moon moves about the earth in an orbit slightly eltiptical, which the sun is continually turning and twisting about in all sorts of ways, ‘The enief effect of the sun's attraction upon the lunar movements is to make the month about an hour longer than It would otherwise be, The moon is the most respectable satellite in the whole solar system. It is even a little heavier than Jupiter's great sate!iite Titan, and in size relative to the principal body no other satellite approaches it, ‘To an observer stationed on the planet Venus, the moon would appear the size Of Sirius,and a beautitul sight the earth and moon would present moving together through the heavens. As for the moon's reputed in- fluence on the weather, I need hardly say that itbas none. Yet I would hardly dare to make such a remark betore an audience of sailors. 1 once seriously offended an old sea captain by ridiculing his theory that the wind would always come trom the direction in which the moon was at the time of changing from on quarter to another, I haye come across some other extremely curious superstitions of this kind. One was that carrots, beets, turnips, and other vegetables that grow downward should always be planted when the moon was waning, Whereas corn and grain that grow upward should be planted when the moou was waxing, Avtisis when they paint the moon usually make It too large, and sometimes I have seen the moon represented with its horns pointing downward. The horns, of course, must always point away from the sun. A wordof advice to poets: When you talk about the moonlight, be Sure that the moon did actually shine on ‘the night in question, The author of the well-known poems oa the burial of Sir John Moore has fallen into this error.” Professor Young then threw upon the screen series of photographs of the moon's surfac Showing the principal craters, seas and mou tain ranges, and explained the theories of the formation of the craters, the absorption of the moon's atmosphere, and the temperature of its | surface. The Wheel of Political Fortune. New York Correspondence of the Philadelphia Times. A gentleman tells me that the average public life in New York is ten years. ‘The remark was called out by seeing Tom Murphy pass along the street, Just think what a power this man was only a few years agoin the politics of New York and the nation. He was the chum of nearly every leading man who has made the history of this country for the past quarter of a century, ‘He was a rich citizen when General Grant took him up and made him collector of the port and started him into the controversy which resulted in the appointment of Johuny Davenport as chief supervisor of election, to prevent frauds in New York. In those’ days he was a welcome guest iu the houses of the bravest and best inthe country. He sat as an honored guest atall the great feasts and he once told lue that his politteal experience cost him over four hundred thousand dollars. Be that asitmay, he was poor when he ieft public office. He is much poorer now. Only theotuer night I saw him undertake to get.abed at the hoiel and the clerk would notgive it to him Without payment inadvance. As poor Mar- phy turned to go away the clerk suid: “We have had him on the list fora long time.” He is get- ting old and_ seems to be despondent. How or where he lives none of his old associates seem to know and most of them shun him, It looks a little hard that a man who once held his place in life and who was always open-handed and free-hearted to a fault should spend the last days of his life in poverty and sorrow. But the World seems to get the drop on a man here in ‘ew York oftener than any place in the world, and when it does they throw up their hands easily and rarely ever get them down again. I have seen forty examples of this fact to-day, of them almost a& touching as that of Tom Murphy. ‘There are more old political hulks scattered along Broadway than in all the places in the land put together. eee Stage Craze Among Women.

The Madison Square seems tobe thelr favorite house, audon afternoons the Swellest kinds of audiences are entertained at that theater by amateurs. So far the only per- Son who has attracted any great attention in these representations is Mrs, James Browne Potter, one of the toniest ladies of New York.

World. Though an undoubtedly brilliant man, Mr. William Sehwerik Gilbert is by no means pop- ular with the artists of the theater, nor a faver- ite in what is termed society. The reasons are not fartoseek. The author of the “Mikado” and the “Pinafore” assumes a grand air of im- pertinent tranquility; possesses enormous con- fidence in himself, rarely missing an opportu- nity of saying rasping and cruel things of his contemporaries, and is in fact hard, cold and unsympathetic In manner, seldom unbending, except where his immediate interests are con- cerned, and ‘even then his concessions are yielded with a reluctant, unwilling alr. In this respect he is the exact opposite of his gifted collaborateur, | Sir Arthur Sullivan, who is suave and amilable, and whose manners are those of a man uccus- tomed to lite society. One is never sure of Gilbert, To-day he may greet you with nod and even a amile, if he be in decent humor—to- morrow he sees you not, or his acknowledg- ment is so slight that you feel It cost him an effort to toss you the meagre courtesy. He keeps on hand @ gamut of bows and nods, and the scale is nets regulated according to the status of the individual to whom they are ac- corded. Should the Duke of Edinburgh roll by in his chariot the Gilbert Peg elas gems roe relaxes and a species of dental smile feobly lights up the mouth, but if a moment after plain Jones, the comedian, or Quillster, the umbie journalist, should approach, the face of the great librettist assumes quite ‘a different expression, and an upward movement of the eyebrows must suffice as a recognition. Pleas- ant smiles and cordial greetings are not for Let of lower degree. Somebody once said that the cold granite of his native northern Aberdeen, where he was born, had entered into Gilbert's blood, and his unyielding hardness favors the correctness of this opinio: In general society—an evening party, for in- stance—Gilbert is silent, observant, and takes no active part in the festivities, Now and again he will whisper a mot to his nearest neighbor about the peculiarities of a guest, which will create a laugh, but he prefers the role of critic to that of performer. An evening party com- posed of such as he would not be remarkable for uproarious hilarity or gayety of spirits. His ideas oa the subject of dancing are those of the great Napoleon. With this cynical temperament it is almost odd that Gilbert should so fervently desire to write a successful comedy of manners or a play illustrative of human passions. And in these respects his plays, apart from his librettos, which are grot jue, ingenious and most amus- ing, have never touched the popular heart, ‘Thé characters in lis half-dozen plays, as, for instance, “On Guard” and “Tom Cobb," are dramatic abstractions, They move about the stage, but have no pulse and do not vibrate with ‘human emotion. They come and goin well-directed fashion, but they are in a manner marionettes, and you lack faith in them and their sentiments.’ A man to write a living drama that would stir the masses must be in sympathetic accord with sae its sorrows, ils Joys, its emotions. Here Gilbert breaks down, and hence he is adroit and powerful when he can be satirical, ingenious, picturesque and inconventional. Although he may be said tohave almost created » school, he bears well in mind Mollero’s well-known saying that the pest theatrical work is that which pleases the most. Even in burlesque Gilbert has not always hit the mark, In his younger days he wrote a piece of this genre for the Galety theater, in which ‘Toole played an important: Atthe rehearsal the comedian found few opportunities for fan, and introduced a‘number of “gags” and some “business” of his own. Gilbert was furious. He would not have his lines tampered with, and it was agreed that the part should be playea pre- cisely as it was written. The result was a nar- row escape of failure, Hollingshead, the man- ager, who has a will of his own, then insisted that Toole should revise his part and act it in his own way. A rehearsal was called, to which the author was not invited, Toole let his fancy loose, gagged in his gay, genial, familiar fashion, and secured a run for the burlesque. Had Gil bert had his way there would not have been a Wook's, ie In the piece, He owned up aiter- wards to Toole that he did wonders for its suc- cess, though I believe he never wrote him another part. Betore he blossomed into a plutocratic Ubrettist Gilbert frequently did the work of adaptation for managers. Charles Wyndham once gave him a French piece to translate which he called “On Bail.” There were many vexatious delays in the delivery of the manu- script, and Wyndham’s patience was severely taxed, ‘The manager in his indignation wrote Gilbert this note: Drak Sin: Unless you deliver the third act to-mor- row by 12 o'clock I sitall not bring out “On Bail,” and ‘shall 4t once put another piece in rehearsal, A messenger was dispatched with this curt missive, who brought back an instant reply and handed {t to the Criterion manager. “Here's arow,” thought Wyndham, kuowing ihe pep- pery, not to say despotic character of bis cor- Fespondent. Judge his surprise when he broke the seal and read: Chas, Wyndham, ‘Sm: Since you ‘tdopt so tony and imperative a tone in addressing me, I beg to inform you that the act will be ready to-morrow at 12 o'clock as you suggest. Qbedientiy, W.S' GILBERT, Gilbert is an excellent stage manager and has adopted the exhaustive process of Vic- torien Sardou, He wii! work at a single scene for hours if necessary untilevery detail runs smoothly. He invented most of the quaint poses assumed by the “Japs” in the “Mikado,” and the loiling, sprawling attitudes of the nymphs in “Patience” were the results of an attentive study at the Grosvenor gallery of Mr. Burne-Jones” long legged figures seemingly afflicted with lateral curvature of the spine, whose conntenances were inexpressibly wobe- gonz and who wore stiff draperies clinging in impossible folds to their attenuated limbs, Gilbert successfully caught the spirit and humor of these pictorial extravagunces and smote the esthetes hip and thigh with irresist- ible vivacity. He lus been litely disbursing his. piastres {n ‘Turkey, his drachmias in Greece and his napoleons in Egypt, in search of a suit- able subject for his next comic opera. I be- Heve it isdefinitely settled that the locale will be the latter country, aud the Pyramids and the Sphinx will of course come in for the usual Gilbertian budinage. The Egypt of these latter times suggests disaster and ‘suffering, rather than combinations to evolve fun, but ho doubt the dexterious librettist has remembered this and will go back hal! a dozen centurie: Gilbert has a well-deserved reputation as a sayer of bon mots and some years ago when the late Tom Hood was the editor he contributed Jokes and comic verses to the journal Fun. Most of the pular Bab ballads were written for that publication, He has found a better market for his jevts and reserves them for his pode Now and then he gets off a droll reply. oing into the Savage ciub one day a person stopped him and inquired: “Have you seen a man round here with one eye named Mac- fussel?” Gilbert instantly replied, “No; whav’s the name of his other eye?” and passed in. A friend of Gilbert's was lll of an acute ner- vous disease. He said, speaking of the London street noises, “Doctors tell you to keep your patient quiet. How is it to be done while an organ of ten piano-torte horse power is grinding the bones of the ‘Men of Harieck’ to powder oF pounding the ‘Last Rose of Summer’ to a mad- dening pulp of variations?” He was speaking on an occasion of a person who had asked him to dinner a long distance in the suburbs of London and had catered in- differently. “Never again will f be his guest, but he shall dine with me. I have an avenging sherry at one-and-nine that I think will asion- ish his digestion.” An author said in presence of Gilbert that he had just written a brochure with the tukin titie, “How a Penny Became a Thousan Pounds.” “Brochures are not much in my line, but I could better write, ‘How a Thousand Pounds Became a Penny’ much easier,” ro- Somebody sald Rothschild had mebody sai sc wn weal ot whist, ay ean believe it,” remarked ‘Giibert, “He Is too rich to enjoy the piquaney and ex: eltement of gambling. He doesn’t care whether he wins, and he can’t ieel what he loses.”” ‘The author of the “Mikado” is credited with having said “that a husband can hope to be @ hero in bis wife's eyes only two months—the month before he is married and the month alter his death.” It certainly has the satiric smack gf chert, who Is reported to havo replied to irs. Marie Bancroft, the actress, when she play- fully asked, “What age am 12” Be really éan’t say, but you don't look it.”” In conclusion, I may rémark that the subject of this sketch if married and inhabits a sump- tuous house in Kensington, He was educated for the bar, but has never practised. Ho drives @ hard bargain and knows the worth of his work to the uttermost farthing. When the Lord Garmoyle-Fortesque breach of promise case was in progress Gilbert appeared upon the scene as the lady's adviser, ex mero motu, and the result was very little scandal, no trial, and £10,000 in solid cash for the actress. Gilbert's stern Scotch brain did its work effectively. Howaup PAvx, ————+e+_____ ‘The Good White Apron. From the Boston Record. The rehabilitation of the apron is @ good thing. Many ladies clung to it when it was “out.” It 1s one of Mrs. Whituey’s characters who longs as the height of her ambition for the Power to“have onaclean white apron every afternoon of the week.” It is true that the apron of the hour {s little more than an ex for the wearing of embroidery and Tibuons, yet there still exists aprons that are worn without any ides of decorative effect that are none the Jess effective on thataccount. ‘There is a home: Uness about a white apron that is most attrac. live, A certain very busy woman Whose duties call her actively Into public lite invariabl white, motherly apron her own ome.
