Anyone experiencing the least difficulty in getting copies of the Picayune from the train boy 9 on the railroads will confer a.

favor by reporting the facts promptly to office. The boya are very liberally supplied with papers, the risks of the business being borne entirely by the newspapers, which redeem unsold copies.

The City, Council at its last session passed, an ordinance forbidding street railway companies in this city to carry more than twenty passengers atvone time in a car drawn by a single mule.

This is merciful to the mule, and it ought to be a blessing to the traveling public, especially the tired men and women who, after a day of labor, are too often forced, to ride, homeward standing in an overcrowded car, and hanging on to a hand strap. If the ordinance will insure to each passenger a seat, and if it will also force the companies to put in service a sufficient number of cars to accommodate all the travel, it will be an excellent regulation. There is, however, one difficulty in the way that be difficult to deal with. The opposition does not come from the mule, although he is a chronic kicker, nor has any particular objection been made by the companies, which will doubtless be gainers in the wear and tear of their cars. real kickers on this subject will be the public, for whose benefit the ordinance was passed.

The first time there is any attempt to exclude a free citizen from, a car that already contains the legal load there, will be a row. The dearest right of the" untamed American freeman is to be able to force his. way into a place that is already over crowded. Tell him that the place is full," the seats are all occupied and there is no room for him. Immediately he is seized with a burning desire to go in also, and nothing short of force will keep him out.

Other people are there; he is as good as' any one else and he is bound to go also. This is called American go aheadativeness and it is so general a characteristic of our people that it finds a place in their social as well as business affairs. Hence, the more crowded a ball room or a thea tre or a political meeting hall, the more enjoyable. The managers of railways, public shows and the like trade heavily on this American peculiarity. It is well known that a ticket of passage on a railway does not guarantee a seat any more than does a ticket of admission to play house.

This is not the fault of the ticket sellers, but of the public. Each freeman who comes with his money is entitled to buy his passage or admittance, and he would indignantly resent any attempt to deprive him of such an, inalienable right. He is bound 'to have the ticket and take his chances as to what benefit it may bring bim. The result is over crowded trains, over crowded play houses and discom fort for all concerned, only because the free born, untamed.American citizen is as good as anybody and is bound to be there at the same time with everybody else. If this should turn out to be the case with the patrons of street cars, then the well meant efforts of the Council to secure their comfort will prove abortive.

MB. CABLE'S LAST. A story, like ft tune, should have a turn in it. There should be some mys tery cleared up, or some great difficulty overcome, by a concurrence of dramatio incidents. That is what 'children mean when they 'say, "Tell us a story," and the world will never lose its interest in etories of that sort, well told.

i The most artistic, philosophic and true stories are those in which character is made a governing force in' the plot for in real life character and circum stance act and react upon' each other, and circumstance is the touch stone of character. The greatest tragedies are hoe in which destiny has been ore thadowed and determined by the bias of temperament and the habits of an un fortunate education. "The master story Shakspere, 7 Goethe, Balzac, Thackeray and George Eliot, have recog jiized this profound 'truth, and have founded their success upon its exempli fication in their works. The novel of character and the novel of incident are separable, bnt they are "not essentially irreconcilable. On the ontrary, the points of character are lest revealed in: the strong, light of uramatic situations.

seems to be rn 'impression." however, more or less prevalent with a certain modern school, tit which Mr. W. v. noweus is me ac nnwled cred snokesm an, that story tell ing is a condescension on the part of the novelist, and that the sole proper WY lift 75 work of fiction is the analysis of char acter. The conseauence is that we r.

occasionally confronted with I bulky volumes in the guise yoI novels. tt which amount to nothing more th elaborate studies of eommonplaf pie who lead humdrum liv in midst of surrountn neither turesque nor unusnal We hay' teen led to tLese gene I reflections elTort to classify "llrl Cable's JJrcrir, whic! ii brougho a iose in 'the of the Cen nry Ifasazine, In i rtain sense this work is novel cf incident. On the other hanCwliile it is full of movement itis almotwholly devoid of plot. There is nc junusual di faculty overcome; there s. uo great myif ery cleared up there is no turn in the tune.

From end to end it is almost wholly devoid of what the critics call situation. At the outset there vas some suggestion of a domestio "drama. Father, and son at war because of a forbidden marriage.would certainly be nothing "new in fiction but Mr. Cable's advanced position as a politico philosopher in fiction or through fiction led some shrewd readers to anticipate a new variation on the old. theme.

What if the objection of the father had been based upon race, antipathy What if Mrs. Kichling bad been only one more of 'Mr. Cable's quadroon or octaroon heroines Then we would have had a situation with tk Yengeraej. But it was not an intention, eitner Ills puDiisnere mppeu it In he bud ror someOther prudential 'influence prevailed and stayed his hand; Aa II la, we are lexir iu vuuciuuo man the parental objection was founded solely upon the Northern birth of the son's sprite But nothing could have bee more unreasonable, and, as a mat ter of fact, nothing could have been more improbable. Northern families and Southern families have intermarried for more than a century in this country, and we do not recall a single instance in which a final, objection has been raised upon the ground of sectional difference.

But that point is to one side. We must give Mr. Cable the credit of intending from the first precisely what is presented in the completed And what is that Taken as a whole, what is the meaning and purpose of Dr. Sevier We confess many doubts. We have followed the narrative with care, and, now that it is done, we acknowledge that we have not found it a story in the artistic sense.

We have found nothing but the history of an unfortunate young man not particularly interesting in himself whose lines happened to fall in very unpleasant places, and who died at last just when he might have" been beginning a happier Perhaps it would have been more commonplace to have permitted the'eurtain to drop upon a joyous family group but really it would have been more satisfactory and quite as artistic. "A novel of incident without plot has no just place at all in. literature unless we can classify it as an historical novel. But Mr. Cable begins "too far back of the he ignores too much its philosophy, he deals too locally and superficially with its progress, to be said to have dealt with its historic features.

Nor as a study of special phases of human nature can Dr. Setter be ranked among the masterpieces of fiction. Xardsae is a companion picture to Jules neitLer much better nor much worse done The German baker and the I talk Jack of all trades are mere outline sketches. Mrs. Eeily is fairly drawn, and, upon the whole, is about the best bit of work in the book but she is a secondary character, and one must make an effort before taking her seriously.

The hero, Kichling, is not heroio until the good, doctor has patted him into shape and, indeed, he is so mnch scolded ana patronized all the way through, thatpon the whole, he Inspires us with more of sympathy than admiration to the jeery last. All tins must sound very ungracious ly but with an author of Mr. Cable's rank it would be absurd to deal in the language of vague and evasive compli ment. It would be a work of superero gation to say that his style is invariably fine, and that his pictorial power is here as everywhere admirable. Mr.

Cable writes "always withdeliberate elaborateness, every touch is carefully laid on, and so far as external traits are con cernedheis never at fault. If the ef fects were not so invariably conscious, if a little more frequently we could detect ft stroke, given in pure spontaneity and abandon, we should say. that the workmanship of Dr. Sevier was beyond all criticism.

A young lady burglar is the newest candidate for equal rights in those callings and professions that were supposed to be solely suited, if not actually sacred, to the talents and special abilities of the masculine sex; One by one the rightful prerogatives of the lords of creation have been seized upon and reft from them by the dauntless, daring and soaring ambition of what we have been plea sea Tu'caTi the Sorter sex. Man, like a disgusted misanthropic bear, has been pursued into bis Inmost den" and there lgno uiiniously bearded, and not by the bearded woman, or by Mrs; Belva Lockwood with her Presidential candidacy, but by a beauti ful girl burglar. Women have filled kingdoms and com manded armies.

There have been female robber chiefs, female spies and all that sort of thing but never before a female burglar beautiful, tender, intellectual, refined a perfect lady, so it Is said. Her name is Ella Lorrabce, only 20 years old and of good family. The girl has Just been sentenced to tne New York State's Prison by the Court of Quarter Sessions of Brooklyn. This is her third term in prison, and she is known to the police as a bold and skillful burglar. Think of her taper fingers toying witn a sare iock and her white bosom heaving as she wrestles with a crowbar or manipulates a brace drill.

In suite of her crimes Daniel Shugnee, a Connecticut farmer, who grows the fragrant cabbages of which the choicest cigars are made, wishes to marry and reform her. As Ella was breaking up business for the male burglars, and since the city government did not afford political places for them all, It was deemed best to send the poor girl to the. Pen itentiary, and crush out Daniel's projects for love and reform. The case is one of the curi osities of crime. Jimmy Downs.

The following communication from Judge Ford, of the Second Recorder's Court, In re gard to the orphan boy John James Downs gives the gratifying Information that the little fellow will have an opportunity to try his fortune at making an honest living. It Is to be hoped he has fallen into good hands and will make a proper use of his opportunities. Judge Ford will understand that in the article on the subject in Saturday's paper there was no reflection on him. It was not the enforcement of the law that was complained of. but the imperfection of a system that could not provide for an exceptional case: 8ecokd Recorder's corner, New Orleans, Sept, 27, 1884.

It is impertinently foolish Several of mv aforesaid patents refer simply and solely to my methods of jnrodueing a secret tciepnone, anu tne "1'au vxnnpany has no secret telephone. but only a secret exchange system which controls the "Na tional Telephone" natents 851.292 and 252,257. The Pan Electrie Company also owns a patent which controls the National Telephone patent No.

Excepting tnese patents, all the devices asslirned to the National Tel ephone Company are thoroughly, radically ana absolutely different from those empioyea by the Pan Electric Company, which do not infringe in any respect the aforesaid patents, nor are they auhjoct to them in any sense whatever. Even the patents excepted above were bought bv the Pan Electrio Company. not for use, but simply for their great value to the National Secret Telephone Company, which without these patents could neither wind their peculiar belli on a large scale, nor operate their eecret teleDhone. except on wir ate lines, and for these very reasons nave been Btock jobbing for three years without estaDiisnmg a single exenange, wnxie we Pan Electrio Company, in her wealth of patents has a perfect system (without using half what she owns) and exchanges in full iteration.

W. Van Benthuysen, President National Improved Telephone Company i Sir I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note dated 10th but which came to hand only two days since, and on the same day I received a letter from Gen. George D. Johnston, the agent of the Pan Electric Telephone Company at New Orleans, inclosing a slip from a New Orleans paper, in which your letter to this company, and one of a similar character addressed to him, were copied. In your letter to this company, amongst other things, you say: "Having been advised by the Electrician and attorneys of this company (the National Improved) that certain instruments used by your company are Infringements of patents owned by this company, notice is hereby respectfully given that anyone using said inttrumenls will be prosecuted for In answer to which, I have to say that I am advised by the Electrician of the Pan Electric Telephone Company, and by its attorneys, that the instruments used by It infringe no patent owned by your company, or by any other telephone company in existence.

I vain also advised by Hon. E. M. Marble, who was for a number of years Commissioner of Patents (the head of the Patent Ofiice), and now a prominent patent attorney of this city, and who was, some months since, empioyea by this company for the express purpose of examining and reporting upon the question of infringement, and who did renort. after weeka of itatient and care ful examination, that the instruments used by this company do not infringe any older telephonic patent.

From what I see In the New Orleans naners. and learn thronsrh other channels, I am authorized to Infer that, be lli cr unable to compete witn tne Pan Electric Telephone instruments In the elements of merit and efficiency, the agents of your company in New Orleans raised this question of infringement, and indulged freely in the language 01 1 ureal, witn tne nope 01 intimi dating people not well informed upon such questions, and in that way preventing Pan Electric Company organizing a cor poration there. Allow me to respectfully suggest that the threats of your company through the news payers, or of its agents on the streets of New Orleans, are not tne most certain or satisfac tory method of settun legal rights. 1 respectfully Inform you that the Pan Electrio Telephone Company Is now using, and will continue to rose instruments In all respects similiar to those exhibited by Gen. George D.

Johnston, In New Orleans, in the city of Washington, D. and In the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Missouri, Texas, Tennessee and Alabama, and intends very soon to use them In many other States and in the Territories. The headquarters of the Pan Electrio Tele phone company are in tne city 01 washing ion, D. where process can be served upon the company at any time. If it has Infringed any patent owned by your company, the judicial tribunals are open to you.

'the courts can. while newspaper threats cannot famish you a remedy. Respectfully, Ishax G. Harris, vice Pres. Pan Electrio Telephone Oo.
