These youth mostly hope to he admirals as soon as they can get a S&ove on their mustaches. Some of them, I regret to say, are disappointed. It was my good fortune not long ago, in company with Commodore Boeder, who may be seen on pleasant days walk ' ing the poop of the Pulitzer building, to visit the Minneso.ta and watch the ex amining board engaged in the arduous task of selecting proper young inen for the service, and forwarding sound can didates to join them that do go down to ttie gea in ships. Dressing myself daintily in fine fa tigue dress, with hectic necktie and high lic hat, and with hair thrown carelessly back to about the time of Queen Anne, I joined the commodore, and we rode to gether up Ninth avenue on a palatial train of elevated cars, each of which had a blase air, like that you notice on a spring morning when you ride a mile or two through clover meads and blooming peach orchards and then suddenly step into a nice air tight sleeping car. D;d yon ever, oh! dove eyed reader, with the delicately chiseled Graco-Roman not-e and also delicately chiseled pocketbock, enter a sleeping car just as it was wak ing up? Didst ever ramble up and down a meadowy brook at early dawn, crush iC the heather, and the sweet fern, and tfe bnll frog for an hour, and then, ftnsked with success, un joint your rod and, with the dew and the daisies cling i kig to your high boots, catjeh an early 1 train and step quickly into the 'great jgopre Works of a through car? -.

Well, that is how an all night elevated train strikes me occasionally. It gives me heart failure and a keen neck pain which some day will drive me to the use J emne de menthe. Fiftieth street is a pleasing locality on the hill where the cathedral and Van der- til property are; but a few blocks away, where she bathes her neglected feet in the North river, you can get a flat :rv reasonably if you do not care mu. 'i abont environments. It is rather ar ekv neighborhood, musical with the bleat f the nanny goat, reeking with the blerubvl odors of passe New York odors that t:;ke one back to the malarial summer fol . lowing the flood, or the days when Pharaoh and his hosts began to swell up and float ashore; I Stale beer, over6timulated asparagus - beds, ill ventilated hotbeds of vice, poor ly corked all night rum holes, cast off iotbing, cast off children, old and da:.. iaged marriage ties, unsecured and noa rdiridend declaring bonds of wedlock,. Ipnrple nosed politicians, dignified ;ind i greatly overestimated billy goats, mud, ooee, slime, pestilence, frog works, stench and one long, piercing, wailing cry to heaven for soap, salvation and Street Superintendent Beatty, mark the locality. . f In strong contrast to all this came the tlean and glistening decks of the Minne sota, and the trim and well fed , officers who welcomed us. We went down to the wardroom, where I removed lny beautifully dimpled high hat, and wa isat down to breakfast. At the hea 1, of the table sat Lieutenant Command.-r E. S. Houston, commanding; on his l ight sat Pay Inspector J. E., Talfree, of the delirious signature. Next to the F. E. Spinner of the navy came Chaplain S. D. Boorom, a gentle looking warrior as er manned a menu or poulticed a sin sick soul. Then came Assistant Sur geon James F. Keeney, who has to ex amine the boys who apply and scruti nize them for physical blemishes. On the left of the commander sat Lieut. A. B. Speyers. lie was pleasantly situated next to me. Then came Commotio Roeder, and next Ensign J. L. Pure 11. I rather like the rough sea fare we had. Shall I tell you, gentle re;. Her, you sweet, thing, yon shall I tell you what we had? Yes, I fancy I hear you say, with a mellow ripple of . laiitrhter. 11, thwi, I wtM tell you, provided it flea not pj any further, - At first we had ln-oiled fresh mackerel at least I think it was. Yes, broiled mackerel snised on the nlace. Then lamb chops, with nice browned potatoes cunn triangular hunks, also hot rolls. Wa did not have any horse doovers Sometimes they have huitres, bo", not always. Poissons are used quite com , monly, especially when company ct.mes en board. Releves occur on Tuesdays asd Fridays. We had cafe noir", also sliced oranges with crushed cocoaniit on to them, also grown on. the trounds. Vins consisted of Philhp Best's Burgundy and f rapped Crotonne Sec. Then cigars ad speeches followed. I spoke on "Free linage and Free Lunch, the Richlv Vpholstered . Goal Toward Which We Are All Gayly , Hastening Toward." poke from mere thoughts, so did not occupy much of tke time. It was in every way a corker. Otiier speakers followed, but space will not admit of an expended reference to their subjects or the remarks which were made, (Having made several excellent speeches at Delmonico's this -winter which have not been reported fully, I re- fer above rather pleasantly to this" one.)
