jutaway coat, a white linen waistcoat, a ' tower like standing collar, a modish blue jravat and trousers that had been care fully creased m a straight line down the front. To give bis toilet tho finishing touch he had loaded himself with as much jewelry as there was room for on bis person. His scrawny fingers glit tered with lings set with diamonds, ru bies, emeralds and sapphires; his cuffs, pulled down well over his vrrists, were fastened with buttons of amethyst; a massive golden watch chain, with de pendencies of charms and lockets, stretched from pocket to pocket across his stomach, and a monstrous solitaire flashed from his cravat pin. To be sure, all this was very uncanny and repulsive m a way; but it was so extraordinary, too, that taken m connection with the gentleman's extraordinary calling it only intensified my previous curiosity about him. Beside, the gleam m his bleary old eye was not tinainiable. He marched briskly into the room, and after a brief glance at me and a po lite bow began m rather a piping treble voice: "Good morning, sair. Youweesh to look at ze appartament? "Will you tek the trobble to walk opstairs?" I don't know what I had expected him to say, but I was disappointed at what he did. say; a perfectly matter of fact and business like inquiry, with nothing more than a foreign accent to lend it oddity. That seemed scarcely worthy of his get up. But "Yes," I admitted, "I should like to look at the apartment." And I followed him up two nights of stairs. The apartment comprised the whole of thethird story of the house. There was a good sized front room, 20 feet m depth by 25 m width, lighted by a large window facing north, and behind that a bedroom, a bathroom and a sitting room completed the suite. The front room or studio was well colored m neutral tints and the other rooms were pleasantly papered. "What's the rent?" I asked. "Eh, zat depend of 'ow you tek," tho exterminator replied, with that cockney like contempt for aspirates which dis tinguishes his nation. "Eef you tek by the mawns, f eefty dollars a niawns. Eef you tek by the year, five hundred for the year." This, which would have been dear enough m Paris or m London, for New York was cheap. I had already looked at several studio apartments, but the only ones that were tolerably spacious and at the same time conveniently sit uated were simply exorbitant m price. St. Mark's place was accessible enough, and the quarter, if not fashionable, was picturesque; and my landlord would, I venturesomely surmised, prove to be rather a host m himself. So • 'Very well; I'll take the place for a year," I said. "Aw right; that's aw right," he re turned. "And for reference? You re fair me to?" "Reference?" I repeated. I was not aware that m New York a would-be ten ant, like a would-be housemaid, raust'es tablish a "character." Therefore, "Ref erence?" I repeated. ' 'How do you mean?" "Yes; sawmbodywho knows you, to say if you are respectable and responsi ble," he explained, with unflinching candor. "Why, do I look suspicious?" I de manded. He scrutinized me carefully before he committed himself to an answer. Then, "No, sair; you do not. You look aw right," he vouchsafed, reassuringly. "But it is my custom, halways w'en I rent an appartanient, to hask and geeve refer ences. I geeve you twenty w'en we re torn downstairs." "Oh, I see. It is the custom. Oh, very well. I refer you to my cousin, Mr. Eliot Morgan, of the firm of Morgan, Wynn & Co., bankers, down m Wall street. Is that sufficient?" You see I rather fancied that the name of so eminent a financier as Eliot Morgan, pronounced by me with cousinly famil iarity, would perhaps a little daunt my unconflding friend. But I deceived my self. "All right," was the exterminator's self possessed reply, "I go see Mi*. Mor gan to-morrow morning, and if he say you are aw right tho appartament is yours." We went back to his office, and there he handed me a circular advertising his business as an exterminator of insects. "I undertake, by the particular job or on yearly contract, to exterminate all varieties of insects from your furniture, your clothing, your furs, your house. Moths a specialty. Also, for sale m pound, half pound and quarter pound packages, or m any quantity, Muselle's Magic Insecticide, positively guaranteed as the best insect powder m the universe. I refer by permission to the following well known citizens" — In number some thirty. "Those ladies and gentlemen are of my clients," he informed me. "I refair you to henny or hall of them." Just as I was leaving it occurred to me to ask: "Oh, by the bye, are there any other artists m the house?" "There is a young leddy hartisfc on the floor above you — the top floor. She is a female hartist, you onderstand. Her nameisMees — Wait; if I pronounce it you will not know how to spell .it; if I spell it you will not know how it is pro nounce. I writ© it for you." He procured a pencil and a scrap of paper from his bookkeeper, and wrote m a stiff, old fashioned French hand, "Misa Sophie Paulo vna Eczardy." "You know hair?" he questioned. "No; I don't know her. It is an odd name. How should it be pronounced?" "Well, jus' for fon, you tell me how you think." I "Well, not as it's spelled, of course. Not Ecz-ardy?" "Oh, nun-nun-no. Hit is a 'Ungarian name, and they pronounce it jus' Ske it was the letters Haich-ar-dee — Haich ardy. Ain't that fonny?" "Very. And who are they?" "The young leddy and her fazair. 'E is one Doctor Eczardy. 'Eis an eenva leed. 'E die of cawnsomption, you on derstand. His name is Paul Eczardy, wiz anuzzer name m the middle w'ioh fcnishes m itch, too long to remember."

THE COUNTIES CONFERENCE.

q> ■ ■ Deputation to flic Premier. UDifced Press Association -By Eleotrio Telegraph Wellington, August 18 A deputation from the Counties Association waited on the Premier i o night, and brought under his notice the resolutions passed by the Couaty Councils Conference with respect to the Local Government Bill, charitable aid and other matters. In reply, the Premier said that the time had arrived for a radical change m the 100 si government franchise, -is »t present local bodies did not represent the people. He intended to do away with plural voting. 'J he House wou'.d have to make much better progress than it was doing; at present beforj he could bring down the Local Government BiJ!; indsed he con sidered that it was well worth a special session, and m mbers of Parliament shou'd be patriotic enough to devote ex ra time to such an important measure, lie would take the mind of the House on this, and ho urged the deputation to bring all its ii fl ci c-> to tear upon members m the tame d;r:cion. Referring to charitable aid, ha fAM t-h.xb he considered that true benevolence an-J chari'.y had disappeared from the 0010-.y with the coming into operation of the < harit-.ilile Aid Act. As to the request that the .£SOO exemption under the Land andlnc^nu T^x should be abolished, it would have the tfiVct of destroying the system. He would rather they had suggested ah increase of the graduated rates on large estates, aud he might move m that direc ion h m^etf. The poor settler was taxed enough <it pnseut, and he did not favor increaa n^ hie burdens. Respectiug the high charges made by the Government m connection wi'h ilv* rolls under the Government Land Valuation Act, he said that for the fitst time m the history of the colony a c mp'eto ra'u tion bad been ma ! e, au'l ihe,r*:su't had been that the valuations had been increased by j six'een mill oai. He promise I to coufvr with the Minister of Lmd?, with a view to allowing local bod^fs to pi_7 ihe fees m con nection with the rolls by iasta'.mcnts.

BLOOD PURIFIED. WEItiKT INCREASED. I Health Completely Restored. ! Col. Jas. H. Carmichael, a Distinguished member of tho Staff of tha j Governor of Massachusetts, and whose portrait is hei-9 reproduced, >. heartily recommends Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

My blood was man unliealthful condition, which was made manifest m several unpleasant ways. Soon after commencing the use of the Sarsaparilla I began to improve, my weight increased, and before very long my health was completely restored. I heartily recommend AVER'S SARSAPARILLA." The above testimonial from the gallant Colonel, and the many thousands of others received from all parts of the world, are incontrovertible evidence of the wonderful efficacy of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA as a blood purifier and health restorer.
