"Hard to Hear."
Youth's Companion.
Oen. Jackson, adhered, eren during his
prehidenc-y, to certain poeuliarities of pronun
ciation which he had acquired In bis youth.
He would, for instance, pronounce the word
development, as though it were written devil-
oiie-inont, with a strong accent upon "ope.
Conversing one day with a foreign minister
who had been educated in England, the gen
eral aaiil, "dol-ope-nient." In the course of
a sentence or two, the minister pronounced
the word correctly.
"I repeat it, Mr. continued the
president, "this measure is essential to the
devil-ope-ment of our resources."
"Really sir," said the minister, "I consider
the devel-opment of your country" with a
marked accent upon the veL
"Excuse me, Mr. ," exclaimed the
pretfidvnt, you may call it de-vel-opment, if
you please; but I say devil-ope-ment, and will
say devil-ope-ment as long as I revere the
memory of good old Dr. Wad kll !" referring
to a famous preacher.
Another man, aged and good, but Ignorant
and suspicious, was once greatly disturbed by
a word with which he was not familiar. He
imagined his neighlior Dillon had a grudge
against him, and brooded over the surmise
until ho liehevod Dillon to be his bitter enemy.
His family tried in vain to convince him to
the contrary.
One evening, in a church meeting, the old
man arose and stated his grievance. Mr. Dil
lon could hardly believe his ears. He sprang
to his feet as the old man sat down.
"Why, my dear brother," exclaimed he,
'you are wholly mistaken! I your enemy 1
Why, such a thought never entered my mind.
Indeed, indeed! you are under an hallucina
tion." and the surprised brother sat down,
thinking he had convinced the old man that
he was mistaken. The meeting went on, but
before it closed tho old gentleman again
arose.
"Brethern," said he in tremulous tones,
Tve felt bad over this, and it's pretty hard
to bear; but when Frank Dillon gets up in
meetin', afore you all, an' declares that I m
'full of hellish notions, an' not a voice, not
one, is raised against it, it's it's too much.
I've been a member here fifty years, a'most,
but." and he straightened his bowed form,
"I shall never come here again while such
things are said an' accepted."
And it was only after much effort that the
poor old man was made to understand tne
meaning of the word hallucination.
Carpet Patterns on the Lawns.
New York Tribune.
The fashion of bedding plants of different
colors in carpet patterns has been developed
in Entrlibh eardens under conditions of
warmth and moisture which are unknown in
this climate. In the short, hot and dry sum
mers of the United States, striking effects of
this formal and artificial style of planting
have not yet been attained, but every year
the florists are sending out new plants-ob
tained by careful hybridizing and selection,
with a view to produce varieties with bright-
hued foliage and fast colors under our trying
sun. It is in stylish summer resorts that the
lawns are most profusely ribboned, embroid
ered and emblazoned with floral bravery of
this sort. From Newport comes the account
that twenty thousand plants of a single va
riety have been ordered for one mass of color
on the STOunds of a swell villa. The shortest
name yet invented for any one of these twenty
thousand specimens is alternanthera pary-
choides major, but all this name has not yet
discouraged the little plant from gleaming
very brightly in crimson and gold. The
casual statement that this bed. ot alternan-
theras will cost $2,000 adds a slightly prosaic
and commercial flavor to the story, but then
decorations of this class are more widely ap
preciated when they are known to be ex
pensive.
pAn Insulted Pas-I)os. 7.
Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.
I had a perfect love of a pug-dog, a very
dude of canines, and he was of noble birth,
too. as the fancier assured me when I bought
him. I proudly took him out for his first
walk with me yesterday, leading him by a
satin tape attached to a silver mounted collar.
Well, the impudence of the plebian classes
ia simply astounding. As common a street
cur as ever you saw came up to him in
the most familliar manner, possible and
rubbed noses, just as though they were
equals. My pug resented the insult, of course,
but the cur didn't sneak off abashed he went
at my pug like a cyclone, pawed him,
scratched him, bit him, shook him, wiped the
gutter with him. It was dreadful; and I don't
see how he can ever be fixed up fit to be
taken out again. I give this incident to show
how, even among the dogs, our aristocracy is
no longer held in awe by the low orders.
Pretty soon we will have Bowery girls think
ing themselves as good as any of us. Deary

The Officer's Reply to the Czar.
Pall Mall Gazette.
When Col. De Galitzin was colonel in the
Russian guard he reeled out of a restaurant
on one occasion into the public street in broad
day in a disgraceful state of intoxication.
Unfortunately for him, the father of the pres
ent czar happened to be passmg at the time,
and saw him. He was arrested and brought
up to the emperor, who, after making a few
indignant remarks, informed the colonel that
he was determined to make an example of
him. "Put yourself m my place " said the
czar. "Suppose that you were the emperor
and that you saw an officer of your guard in
the state I see you now, what would you say
to him?" "Sire," answered the colonel, who
seems to have retained some portion of his
wits, "if I were emperor I would not address
a sm trie remark to such a brute." He heard
nothinz more of the matter
A. Telegraph Kemlnlsrenoe.
S. A. P., in Titusville (Pa.) World.
It was at the close of the war, 1864, that a
party of us, consisting of the thirteen tramp
operators, resolved to take in the different
cities, and whoever could not get work was
to be boarded by the rest. Well, we had in
our party Charley Weir (now superintendent
or Adams Expi-ess company at Cincinnati,
O., considered to be the most perfect operator'
in the business, owing to his great memory.
He could store fifty words in his memory and
write it out at his leisure word for word).
Well, we arrived in Buffalo and not a man
had the price of a beer. Our only savation
was in striking some friendly operators.
Charley made a motion that he should lead
the attack and the balance hold up the rear.
It appears the Buffalo office had a great repu
tation lor catching all the operators applying
for work by putting them down to take news
paper reports, which is very fast work. And
Charley, putting his hat over his eyes and
stumbling over a chair, braced up to the
night manager's desk, anS with an intoxicated
smile, says: "Hie, I want a job." The man
ager, winking to one of the chiefs as a signal
for him to inform New York sending report
to slide it in, turned and says:
"Wejl can you copy report r"
"I reckon I can hie," says Charley. And
the manager ushered him over to the report
table. Charley took the chair, and closing
the key, he informed the New York operator
to proceed. The manager got all the men in
the office to come and witness the sport. He
then found Charley looking for a pencil and
New York sending at lightening speed. The
boys all began to lauKh, aud mchinc
over stopped HeW "TOTTc fwamg." ivneieupon
Charley again closed the key and ibid him to
proceed where be left off, and, snatching a
tub of a pencil from one of the ojierators,
he flew across the sheet with lightning speed.
and in lorn than two minutes had caught up
on his conv. although sixty words had been
sent. Well, you just ought to have seen
thoso fellows look at him. New York
man increased his speed until tbe be was tired
out, and then stopped to ask if Charley was
getting it at all. Charley asked nun IT bo
couldn't send faster. The manager says:
"Say, old felllow, who are you, anyhow r
"Why. my name is Charley eir."
They had, of course, all heard of Cliarley,
and a more ashamed crowd you never saw,
They acknowledged the j'-ikc, and the man
ager nays:
"ilr. Weir, just wait a few moments and
we will all go and take wjniethnig."
'Oh. thanks " says Charley, "but I have a
friend or two outside."
"Ahk them in, to be sure," says the man-
rer.
Walking to the door Charley gave a whis-
tlo, and in walked twelve American travel
ers.
We were given as fine a supper as ever
Oiieen Victoria relished, at the 'lerODin. cor

Science Pints the Way.
Detroit Free Press.
Science has had a hard struggle, said
Brother Gardner at the Lime Kiln Club, but
she am now top of de heap an' kin reward
her frens an' forgive her enemies. How do
we know dat de airth revolves on her axle
trees, same as de wheels of a wagon? Science
has told us. How do we know how to cross
deoshun? Science pints the way. How do
we know dat de great desert of Sa-hary was
once an oshun? Science has dug way down
an' foun' clam shells and sharks' jaw-bones.
Without science we should be a world widout
overcoats in winter and sody water in summer.
We would fall from harvest apple trees an'
pick ourselves up widout knowin' wheder
grabitashun or agitashun made us cum down
instead of goin' up. We should see de moon,
same as now, but some would say it was in-
habitated by monkeys an' odders would have
an ideah dat it was a splendiferous locality
for a persimmon grove. De sun would rise
an' sot an' warp de shingles on de roofs, but
men would go round bluffin' for bets dat
sha wasn't fifty miles away an' was held in
place by wires.
Longfellow and Sullivan.
Detroit Free Press.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean reviles Boston be
cause it gives Sullivan, the slugger, a $21,000
benefit, "but is compelled to solicit subscrip
tions from the people of other cities to pay
for a statue of her favorite poet Longfellow."
But tbe Inter Ocean is wrong and Boston is
right, as she always is. She claims no ex
clusive right in Longfellow, but generously
permits the rest of the world to share her
homage and to unite with her in doing honor
to his memory. But Sullivan's fame is all
her own and she is jealous of any outside in
terference in paying tribute to bis peculiar
merits and greatness.
Chandler' and. Edmunds. rS-
Louisville Courier-Journal.
It is said that Secretary Chandler wants to
beep Mr. Edmunds off the Republican presi
dential ticket, and that Mr. Chandler is in
favor of Mr. Chandler for vice-president.
As Mr. Chandler killed an alligator a few
weeks ago, Mr. Edmunds will find him a
strong man among the people. Mr. Ed
munds will do well to go to California and
kill a bear.
Another Account of the Custer Mas
sacre. Since General Custer and his command of
300 were massacred by the braves of
Sitting Bull two or three accounts have
been given, each of which purported to be a
correct history of the fight. The St. Paul
Pioneer Press publishes an interview between
a correspondent at Standing Rock agency
and the wife of Tatatukahegleski, or Spotted
Horn Bull. This woman is first cousin of
Sitting Bull, and the story is vouched for as
being a true account of the battle. After
describing the advance and retreat of Major
Reno whom she declared to be either drunk
or crazy, and his men thoroughly panic
stricken the woman stated that the retreat
and its consequent slaughter was scarcely
ended when the blare of Custer's trumpets
told the Sioux of his approach; but they were
prepared for him. The men quickly crossed
the river, and hundreds galloped to his rear
out of range at first, but soon hemmet
him in constantly narrowing circles. The
woman mounted her pony and rode bo
hind her camp, where she could get a
good view of tho hills beyond. She saw
the troops come up and dismount. Each
fourth man seized the bridles of three horses
besides his own. The rest deployed and ad
vanced on the run toward the river. She
saw the terrible effect of the withering fire
which greeted the approach from the willows
on the Indian's side of the stream, and
laughed as she said: "Our people, boys and
all, had plenty of guns and ammunition to
kill the new soldiers. Those who had run
away left them behind." Slowly trotting
north along the outskirts of the encampment,
she noted the Indians who had crossed getting
closer to the troops. She watched the latter
-those who were left of them retreat to
then- horses and mount. She heard the yells
of her kindred and the shouts of the whites;
but soon, as the former grew plentier, and the
latter fewer, she could distinguish little save
here and there an animated cluster of men
and horses.
Slowly her pony jogged down the stream.
When she reached the Minneconio camp, on
the extreme left, not an hour's ride, she said
not one white soldier was visible on the field.
Of horses there were plenty; these the Indians
spared. The Custer men were soon stripped,
and the Indians knew they had killed the
long-haired chief, by his buckskin coat
trimmed with beaver which they found upon
him. The Sioux lost thirty killed and more
than twice as many wounded, tho Indians
numbering five thousand in all.
Senator Edmunds.
Washington Lctto?.

the local pride of Vermont in his ability and
his prominent Position. He never conde
scends to do any of the small favors with
which lesser statesmen are aiwava strivintr to
flatter thoir constituents. He sends out no
garden seeds with which to allure bucolic ad
mirers. Public documents are rarely used by
him except as a reference for his own
speeches. If tonv Vermont man asks a favor

lng Just enough to permit him to escape In
time, but .the sufferer" never tries a second
time. Edmunds never recommends any one
to office. Neither will he receive a recom
mendation. If any offices are to bo given to
Vermont he makes tbe selection of whom he
thinks is the lt man. If the president ap
proves, well and good; if not, Mr. Ed mum Is
says nothing, waits his time, and when some
thing in which the president Is intero.ted
reaches the gauntlet of his judiciary commit
tee, he pigeon-boles It with a vigor and a snap
that makes most presidents anxious to con
ciliate him. Edmunds Ignores entirely the
balance of the congressional delegation of his
state. He is plenty large enough to represent
the whole state himself, he thinks, lie rules
the judiciary committee in a very arbitrary
way. He Is always lecturing the members if
any news of Its proceedings get out in ad
vance of official reports to the senate. The
average man la found dyspeptic, fond of say
ing disagreeable things, and always grimly
ready for a fight, can bave his own way in
the majority of Cases.
CoI.nOehlltree Malls for Europe.
New York Sun.
We are credibly informed that the distin
guished law-giver and orator, Colonel Thomas
Porterhouse Ochiltree, of Texas, is aliout to
cross the Atlantlo in pursuit of needed rest.
If ever a member of congress earned a vaca
tion abroad, Colonel Oc4iiltree is that man.
Although the house has not been in session
since he entered upon the duties of his office,
the weight of responsibility resting upon tho
representative of a district, which, to use
Colonel Ochiltree's own picturesque language,
"covers 37,000 square miles, and is five times
larger than the whole d 1 state of Massa
chusetts," is alone enough to crush a weaker
man down into his boots. The member
for the Seventh district of Texas has
also been subjected to a severe intel
lectual strain by the constitutional and
other questions concerning his right to draw
pay from the sergeant at arms. Now tliat
Lis salary is coming in regularly every mouth,
and that he has trampled the life out of what
he vividly describes as "the most damnable
and infamous conspiracy ever set on foot to
rob an American of his birthright and inter
fere with the prerogatives of a congressman,"
the hero and statesman naturally seeks relax
ation in foreign travel.
We need not bespeak for Colonel Ochiltree
the friendly notice of the several nations
which he purposes to visit. Although he in
tends to travel unofficially, as a private citi
zen, he can not well leave his personality bo
hind him. His fine martial carriage, his
brilliant locks streaming like sunset clouds
from beneath a jaunty hat, his vigorous yet
graceful gesticulation, and above all Wio
wsird charm of his narratives, vyAl command
attention wherever Thomas Porterhouse Och-

Boston Transcript.
We have before been told that culture dis
turbs and outgrows the facial and crania
harmonies that go to the making up of classic
beauty. But surely that is no great loss to
America, where not one person in a thousand
of either high, low, or middling degree, seems
to care a copper for the classic type, whether
Greek or Roman. It is Langtry's approxi
mation to it that makes her beauty so little
liked in this country.
Without waiting for culture to diminish it
perhaps from very lack of high culture, or
perhaps from mixed blood America has shot
away from and does not like a pure type. It
used to have it more than now. George
Washington was of pure Old World type,
Sumner and Everett came pretty near being
W endell .Phillips is of the noblest 'old
type, and occasionally one still sees a lady of
the older stock who might have fttepiied from
out a portrait in one of tho British galleries.
But the type is nevertheless passing away,
and a more complex and nondescript one is
piking its place. The old type is now mostly
seen in a roiiKU-uewn iuiiu Jtmoiit; uuo poor
est foreigners on our streets. Occasionally
one sees an Italian or Irishman whose proto
type might have done duty long ago for
Michael Angelo's Adam. It is noticeable, too,
that among the most ignorant or these peo
ple the old type is apt to be appreciated. Let
a woman approaching the projiortions of the
armless V enus pass a knot ot foreign laborers
on the street and they would pause to remark
"v hat a nne woman:" w hile the broker or
banker's clerk or salesman who would rave
over the beauty of a Sadie Martinot would
pass the woman by with a wondering gri
mace at her remoteness from their taste.
Uses of Paper Pulp.
Scientific American.
Under the generic term of paper, other sub
stances used in combination with saper pulp
are comprehended in general descriptions and
occasional notices. When some wonderful
story is read of the substitution of paper for
wood, stone, the metals, for mortar, and plas
ter, and concrete, and other compositions, the
reader should not understand that it is the
material defined by Webster as "a substance
formed into thin sheets or leaves, made of
pulp obtained from rags, straw, bark, or like
materials, pressed and dried. raper, for so
many and differing uses as are attributed to
it. must have something else besides
Vegetable pulp in its composition
In fact, the term "paper" is a misnomer for
products that derive all their special qualities
from foreign materials, held together by the
paper pulp acting as a matrix. Thus, asbes
tos, in filaments or powder, may be mixed
with ra7)er nuln to form a convenient unin
flammable and possibly an incombustible ma
terial, shaped while plastic to convenience for
ial uses. So, clays in almost impalpable
ust may become a part of the paper pulp
production, and be a substitute for other ma
terials. Other mineral substances may be
mixed with the pulp, and, in short, there ap
pears to be scarcely any limit to the uses that
may be made oi paper puip mixed witn
foreign substances, moulded and pressed to
form.
A Pathetic Street Car Incident.
Youth's Companion.
Occasionally the rush of business is stopped
by some pathetic scene, which makes it ap
parent that the rivalry of competition has
not hardened the hearts of the competitors.
One of these scenes occurred, not many days
since, m a street car crowaea wim nungry
men of the street," going up town t dinner
at the close of the day.
An old man stopped the car and entered.
Evidently he was not at home among the
well-dressed merchants. He gazed about in
an apologetic sort of a w-ay, and mechanic
ally took the seat which the conductor ob
tained for him by crowding the other passen
gers. His clothing was shabby aDd torn, and his
shoes were out at the sides. He wore a cast-
off beaver, and carried a rough oaken stick
in lieu ef a cane His face had that vacant
and listless look so often seen on the face of a
poor old man.
Roused from his reverie by the voice of the
conductor, "Have your fare ready, please,"
he began to fumble in his pockets in search
of a few pennies. When the conductor
stopped before him, impatient at the enforced
delav, the old man asked, still fumbling:
"How much?"
"Six cents. Hurry up!"
The conductor passed on, collected other
fanes, and came back seemingly more im
patient than before. The old man, who had
succeeded in extricating three cents from
some portion of his clothing, asked, tremu
lously: "Six cents, did you fsay?"
"Six for adults, three" for children," said
the conductor, mechanically and rather
angrily, for he felt that everybody in the car
was looking at him.
"Couldn't you take me for thia; I'm very
tired f asked the tremulous voice. "I've
heerd say, 'once a man, twice a child,' and I
believe Tin a child again."
The conductor, looking as if both confused
and affected, took the three cents and stealth
ily punched his trip-card.
Instantly one of the gentlemen took off his
hat, and nutting a piece of silver in it, sent it
the rounds of the car. . When it came back,
it carried a donation of nickles and dimes
which made the old man quite a capitalist
in his own eyes.
