BROAD-CUT Genfejiraft SIZES: they became the more Parson Howard i helj them oil', until at last lie impresi-! ed them with the fact that it was i mighty favor to introduce tliem to Pioiessor Friend. At length a committee of investigation was formed, for li fore they put ill any large amount of capital they wanted to know something aboutthe process, but the parson unit, them right on the threshold and said: "Gentlemen, you might as well iinden-tand at the start, our secret is not for sale; wh will give you ihe results; we will make you all rich, but our secret for the present we will not divulge." Then every one of tlie committee brought a samole of sunr that he wanted refined.

'1 he professor took in samples into his pnvi.to room while Parson Howard mounted guard it the door, and in less time than you could say JacK, niiicn less nnmn- son, the thing was done; me dirty, crude stuiVthat the committee had in, trusted to his care a few minutes before was turned out in beautiful white, shining crystals. The thing was done, they unlocked their money boxes and they never turned key on them again ti I il they had passed out nearly a half million dollars. A factory was to be built, machinery was to be bought and the thousand and one things to be done to put the concern in working order, 'thousands upon thousands of dollars answered their requisitions, and all the time their faith was kept alive by occasional boxes of beautifully crystalized sugar made out of crude material which they themselves had furnished. All went on swimmingly till one bright morning about a year and a half ago when the professor was discovered as dead as a door nail. Then the trouble began and Mrs.

Friend, the professor's wife, became with Parson Howard the legitimate heir and custodian of her husband's secret, The stockholders grew anx'ous to get the factory at work so as to get some dividends from the hundreds of thousands they had invested. At last they grew clamorous and the law was invoked to aid then). Then the whole band of swindlers fled to Michigan and settled quietly down to the enjoyment of their ill-gotten gains, but they were extradited from that state and brought to New York. The light has been a desperate one between the swindlers on one hand and the victims on the other. The lirst trial closed this week and Parson Howard goes up for nine ve.ir.i.

The trial disclosed the fact thai the heavy boxes which were brought into the laboratory and were supposed to contain machinery, were lil. i with the best, relined sugar, and I linl the crude sugar furnished by the stockholders was run down the waste pipe into the soirer, a.d tons upon toes were Him trial ol Professor Friend's wtffjfivTics plactt shortly, and astlte proof a-arc the same as those which convicted Parson Howard there is no chance for escape; and this reminds me of a remark that 1 (JHif jttto-oflicr day, that New York WA4hrdlinW of fools tliirves. WJctlf 'clTOrd our Washington over a month it i'tTvftprt "the hoops retreated in good order and all on country cousin went, supposed the thing was done with, hut we have just discovered lii.it we are in the midst of a muddle in which some of our notable four hundred figure in rather an unfavorable light. When the centennial celebration became a certainty lioftody anticipated at the time the gigRnti'e proportions that it eventually assumed. It was a very peculiar allair, ftarially private and partially public, but its direciion was all in the hands of a self-constituted committee of private citizens, who assumed entire control, who issued invitations and who decided who should come and who should slay away, and who should dance in theopening quadrille and who should have the honor of looking on, and of deciding all other important mailers connected with the Centennial, on which the f.

tf? and vvel-inre of the Kelillblic depended. Who was equal to this task who could tell us how the thiiisr was done in Paris, Vienna anil Berlin who would keep us the sfright and narrow path and Keep us from putting our Republican loot in it before the other nations of the earlh, There was but one man an. I his name was Ward McAllister He knew all about precedences, who should go before and who should go behind, and who shouldn't go at ail. i knew all about wines ami pates and troullles. In short there was nothing that he didn't know that was desirable to know on such an occasion, so it was evident that Ward McAllister Was the man.

Ho was called to his important post almost without a dissenting voice, in fact every hotly, myself included, felt delighted that the minister plenipotentiary and ambassador extraordinary of the elite four hundred should undertake the somewhat plebeian job of guiding such a miscellaneous a flair as tho Washington celebration, which would necessarily bring him in contact with very many common persons with whom he or his kind had not been in the habit of IVutiMke the patriot, that he is Mr. McAU sler threw all these to the winds and took the olllce of commander and chief, the stipulation lining that the committee was to furnish the necessary money, which they promised to do, and giving hi in a carte blanche, they said, "Gw ahead" and he did. Thousands and thousands of dollars were expended, and at last the committee called for an nceoiinling. The very idea almost set Mr. McAllister in a lit, and ho snapped hi fin e'er in the faces tif the commit-.

KOYALHAKINO l'OWDKIl 100 Wall Street. N. Y. itroadbri mi's New lork letter. It is over tun years ao since it very mysilcr and apparently si lipid old man moved to Hurleni and set his immediate neighbors gossiping as to who he was.

lie was evidently poor, for bis wile and himself occupied a couple of roonn in tenement house, but the question among the neighbors was "How did they live?" In tho expressive language of the groccrynmu at the corner, "The grey mare was tin; Letter horse." signifying that thu old went, whoever he was, was not li tlf as good a man as his wife, and apparently he was not, for he was a quiet, retiring, diilident sort of person, while it was evident that if the givy mare, as the groeeryman called her, ever got left, it would only be on an exceedingly cold nay. There were all sorts of guesses us to what the old man did for a living, and it linally transpired that lie was an inventor, but when the people tried to find out what he hail invented, aye, "there was the rub," and all they discovered was thai it was a mighty secret, which, as Lord Dundreary says "no fellow could lind out." After a time visitors might occasionally be seen going in and out. ainl one of them was a ge'ntlenian of clerical appearance at that time he was clean ghiiveu and wore the regulation clerical dr.es ami while choker, ai'd was altogether as sanctimonious a looking person as you would meet in a day's walk. This was the celebrated Parson Howard who figured so extensively in r.h uwindlinir stiarar trust conspiracy, and who last week was sentenced to nine years in the stales prison lor ui nil re. in that remarkable crime.

,1 I treiitlonian spoken of in ilie-Hrt nm-t, of this letter was Professor FrJlHid the man who put up that giirantlc swindle, which for daring on the one hand, mid absolute blind folly and stupidity on the other, lint Is no parallel in our except it he in the Kee-ley mpUKv ljJV long the scheme was working in the professor's mind before lie tried carry it out a successful issue, nobody but his wife knows, but there is uo conception of the swindle and its fruition. Professor Friend had the ideas, but he couliinot work them out himself, and although Ins wife was what the Amor. cans call clever, that is cunning mid crafty, she could not render him the assistance he required, but at hot the man was found in Parson Howard who had just the talents to lit bin for the place. His pi'ty gave It i in a high social position tue church and his marked abilitits as an exhortcr made him a valuaHe assistant at all church in which he always assumed, whoever he was, a foremost place. that Professor Friend Hi ward he was inetonly petty swindle playing for a small stake, insi eiongh to keep the wolf from the door, lut once in the hands of the unscrupulous parson ho develoned rapidly liil the day came at last when he wanted the earth and the fullness thereof.

As soon as the connection was formed between Howard and began to eircu'ttte among trie Wall street men, and by mysterious hints, nods and winks he gave certain parties to understand that he had friend who possessed a secret beside which tlie wonderful stone in the toad's head which could change brass or iron into gold was no -re than a bit of glass. It was not a question of millions but liimdrdds of millions. How Well, the processor had discovered a system of refining sugar different from anything ever known in the world before, and Tie could by his process reline a ton for less money than any other manufacturer could do it for a hundred pounds. About this there coiinl be no mistake, for tho parson had per-s iually seen the operation and, moreover, lie had two or three small boxes of samples in his pockets, and if they not experts themselves they Icould show thein to those who were, and he was prepared to make nllidavi i that there was ten times thu prolit In ffjlieir process that there was in any per Known to the world, and of that (e would give written guarantee. Jfttleut, plodding persistant work told nt last, as It always win, ami nint'iy belmte a unrulier of men who had loose closed for the season last Sunday, and in one week more than two-thirds or Ihree-foiiitus of the pastors will be gone from New York and Brooklyn.

Several churches, however, have concluded to maintain a summer service for the henelit of sinners like myself who are tied to the stake and cannot getaway. The plan is a good one, it gives young country ministers a chance lor a in iropolitan hearing, and as few would thi.ik of offering the supply minister less than twenty-five dollars ami expenses, financially it is not a had tning. iJuring the week we hae had ad sorts of weather, thunder, lighlni.i, rain, hail, heat, cold, a rich variety IV tn which a Bengal tiger or A Polar he ir might take his choice. There have lieeii several spasinotie rushes the. j.toek market this week, but Ih i ir-ide public did not bite, Henry Vidard being about the only man who has saved his financial bacon.
