Some of tho Words and of Tenement Folk. The words and phrases in New York's slang which are rooted in the sense of humor of tho people very many. The word is accounted for in two ways, both of which credit the term with a derivation. A be it known, is any pitcher or is sent to tho corner saloon for the family supply of lager beer. It is said that the word grew out of the protests of tho girls who did not like to be sent to the saloons, or out of the for of the children whose play in tho streets was interrupted by their having to perform similar errands. On the other hand, the quarreling that fol- lowed too frequent of the can by or social coteries of drinking men, is said to have given the beer vessel its nickname. The horse play of the mountebanks in the variety shows is commonly called and the term has now come to applied to all rough and practical joking among the masses.

EDISON THE DREAMER. Bow Cot of Some Drudgery. Some had referred to Edison as Victor Hugo when ho his as operator in our telegraph office in Boston, and it was by that name generally spoke of him. Every device was employed to thwart his soarings after tho infinite and his divings for the unfathomable, as regarded them, and to got an amount of work out of him that was equivalent to tho sum paid per diem for his ices, and among them was that of having hint receive the press report from New York. Ho did not like this, tho work continuing steadily from p. m. until a. in., and leaving him no time in which to pursue his studies. One night about p. m. there came down an inquiry as to where tho press report was, and, on going to the desk where Edison was at work. Night Manager Leighton was horrified to find that there was nothing ready to go up stairs, for tho reason that Edison had copied between 1,500 and words of stock and other market reports in a hand so small that ho had only filled a third of a page. Leighton laughed in spite of him. self, and saying; Tom. Don't do that hastened to cut tho copy up into minute and have it prepared in a more manner. While this was occurring Edison Went on receiving, and the frequent trips of the noisy dummy box, which communicated with the on tho next Boor, gave evidence that he was no longer his hand- writing with an ultimate view to putting the Lord's prayer on a cent piece. But all at once was a great noise, and it was evident that Press Agent Wallace, a most profane man, was coming down the stairs, swearing and shouting as ho came. Everybody grew excited except Edi- son, who was perhaps dreaming of the possibilities in some of tho realms of electrical endeavor in which ho has since won renown. But we did not have long to wait to know the cause of Wallace's visit Kicking open the door, ho appeared to us, but he was speechless. Tho last note of his voice and tho last remnant of a vocabulary of which was famous through- out the city was gone. Standing there with both hands full of small, white pages of paper, ho could only beckon. Leighton approached him and tenderly took the sheets of pa- per from him, to find that Edison had made tho radical change from his first style of copy to simply put- ting one on each sheet, direct- in center. He had furnished in this way several hundred pages in ti very few minutes. He was relieved from duty on the press w ire and put on another cir- while much tried Leighton devoted himself to bringing Wallace hack to a normal condition, admit- ting of the use of his voice and tho flow of his usual output of J. Phillips in Electrical A and iris Cane. Every faro dealer of in tho country has at some time had Little Dick in hock for or more. In the days when confidence men were big money working the rail- way trains Canada Bill had as a side partner a dapper little fellow named Dick Cody. It was the fashion those times for the dudes to carry small canes with richly mounted and orated heads. Those were too small for use as walking sticks and were intended for show solely. Dick Cody was a dude of dudes, would change his clothes two and three times a day, and always looked as if he had just stepped out of a After getting his share of a as the robbery of the innocents was termed, Cody would strike for the nearest largo city to have a good time, end this to his mind meant rich meals, a few bottles of wine a bout at faro. He was a care- methodical little fellow, and on reaching town would plant most of his money in a safe place, retaining only or for his sprue. After his meal and wine ho would march to some favorite faro bank and tackle the tiger. If he won, he would keep on playing until the game closed tr tho dealer turned up the box. If ho lost, as he generally did, Dick would begin to look close- at the gold mounted stick he ways carried, and the dealer knew what was coming. Banding over the eras Cody would say in a cool, natural manner, the same as if he was cashing a certified Little Dick in for And no dealer who was on to his job ever refused him. Win or lose, Cody was always around promptly to take his cane out of pawn. The stick itself was not worth at the outside more than but Cody could go into any faro bank of cote in the country and get a loan of or any reasonable sum on it. It was his way of giving a note for the credit, and ho never repudiated tho obligation. Chicago Tribune. lo it.
