C. P. HUNTINGTON , President of the
Southern Pacific , started out in his
business career as a peddler. He is
now worth more than $100,000,000.
WITH Ihe beginning of the new year
Uncle Sam will go into the junk shop
business. The Boston navy-yard will

UPON evidence showing fraud in

WILLIAMS and Marys College , of Vir
ginia , has closed its doors , having but
one student at the beginning of this

the oldest college in America , having
been founded in lG93andwas , the only
one that received a royal charter.
Among the most eminent men educated
in its halls were Washington , Marshall ,
Randolph , Tyler , Breckenridge and
General Scott.
TIIUKE months bring a great many

lard , of the Northern Pacific , when he
took his immense excursion of aristo
crats and newspaper men out to Oregon
gen to drive the golden spike , was then
considered the greatest of the railroad
magnates of the country , and his biog
raphy was in every journal of the land.
To-day he is ' 'out" of every line that
then was proud to count him its presi
dent and dictator. It is not known
whether he has escaped -with a fortune
or has sunk his private means in a con
test with the bears , and we look in vain
for journalistic tributes to his great
ness. Journal.
THE cold , biting wind of winter is
upon us. The pharisee would say , ' 'God
help the poor. " But the broad-souled ,
good-hearted man goes down in hie
pocket and pulls out the wherewith to
make the poor warm and to fill their
gaunt stomachs. In the olden time it
was acceptable to make sacrifices in lieu
of prayers. At the risk of being accused
of a leaning to paganism , these Topics
venture to announce their faith in the
efficacy of gifts as a substitute for
prayers by those who do not feel quali
fied to familiarly approach the throne. .
The poor have the ear of the Lord , and
when a man makes them his proxy in
the matter of beseeching a throne of
grace he need have little fear but his n
case will be well presented. Topics. e

THE death of General Humphreys
n
removes another of the gallant soldiers
f. .
who distinguished themselves during f.tl
the late war. He was not only a brave tlf
tlh <
soldier in every sense of the word , but h
also one of the most eminent engineers
S <
in the United States. His career in the
ir
arm } ' covers a period of over forty years irw
active service. A native of Pennsylva ti
nia , he graduated from the military tini
ni
academy at West Point in 1831 , and tl
was assigned to the Second artillery. tl
In 1838 he entered the
topographical
tl
engineer corps , and was promoted to a tlw tlA
captaincy in that corps during the Mex w
ican war. At the outbreak of the civil cl
clg'
war he was major in the engineer corps , g' '
and was assigned to duty as colonel and ei
01
aid-de-camp on Gen. Scott's staff. On ai
the 28th of April , 1862 , he was appoint aiP
ed brigadier-general of volunteers , and in
in July , 1863 , he was promoted to be tl
major-general for gallant and meritor at ea
ious services at the battle of Gettys th
burg. On August Sth , 1866 , General P
Humphreys became chief of the United se
States engineers , with the rank of brig re
te
adier-general , which position he held re
until he was retired , at his own request , PI

THE fact that Brigadier-General R.
S. MaoKenzie , commander of the de
partment of Texas , has been relieved of
his command on account of temporary
insanity , caused by nervous prostration ,
and placed in the military asylum at
.Washington , recalls to mind * some sad
and interesting incidents in the history
of the Slidell-MacKenzie family , who ,
it appears , have been the subjects of
what seems to be a singular fatality.
General. MacKenziu's grandfather ,
forty years ago , was a naval captain in
command of the war brig.Somers in the
West Indies. It was claimed that a
mutiny was discovered on board the
vessel , although no overt act had been
committed , and upon the testimony of
an informer , a young midshipman nam
ed Spencer was convicted of being a
ring leader by a court on board the ves
sel. Captain MacKenzie ordered him
to be hung from the yard arm"of the
vessel at sunrise next morning , and the
order was carried out. Spencer , who
was a mere youth , was "the son of the
then Secretary of War. The tragedy
created the greatest sensation of the
times in the United States. Captain
MacKenzie. upon his return to this
country , was arrested and tried by court
martial , but as the captain had not
over stepped the law , he was acquitted.
His cruel act , however , was universally
condemned. It was argued that , as the
mutiny , if there was any , had been sub
dued , there was no good reason why
Spencer , if guilty of any crime , should
not have been kept as a prisoner until
the ship returned to the United States.
Captain MacKenzie never got another
command in the United States navy ,
but despised of his fellow men he pass
ed the remainder of his life , almost en
tirely without a friend , in anguish and
remorse. Misfortunes have ever since
befallen his descendants. One was kill
ed in a railway accident , having his
neck broken , and another was drowned
at sea. The members of the Slidell
branch of the family have all been over
come by sorrow , grief and want.
And now the grandson , General Mac
Kenzie , a gallant soldier , who became
a brigadier at the age of forty the
youngest general of that rank in the
army becomes insane a few days be
fore his contemplated marriage. It
certainly is a singular fact that ill-luck
has befallen the MacKenzies ever since
young Spencer was hung by order of
the old naval captain. Bee.
EVERY one is interested in the sun
sets and sunrises , which have delighted
the people of various parts of the earth
tor several months. Every one is ask
ing why. One answer has been that we
ire passing through a portion of space
illed with cosmical dust ; but we have
) assed through the same portion before
ind have never witnessed a similar phe-
lomena. Norman Lockyear , one of the
uost famous of English scientist , gives
mother answer , which it seems to us is
nore reasonable. He , like others , at-
ributesthe phenomenon to the presence
if dust in the a'tmosphere , but not cos-
uical dust. Mother Earth has produc-
d the conditions , which give to us such
beautiful picture every night and
lorning. On August 26 an island 3,000
eet high disappeared , the quaking of
he island producing a sea wave 100
eet high. Sand , stones and vapor were
urled to an enormous hight , and the '
ound of the eruption was heard 2,000
liles away. Millions of tons of matter
ere hurled in the air , the heaviest re-
irned to the earth , the lightest re
tained suspended in the air. At first
le coarse particles entirely absorbed
IB light and in the neighborhood of
le eruption there was a total darkness. ,
LS these disappeared the sun seemed fo
cu
bite and dim. When the finer parti- Ju
les only were left behind , blue and Rt tit
reen effects were observed. Finally , th
lough only was left at a height of forty cu
r fifty miles to reflect the sun's light mi tit
"ter sunset and to prolong the twilight , byte
rof. Helmholtz has calculated that the
to
latenal in the atmosphere producing sal
le effect is about forty miles above the
irth. There are two lines of these
) normal sunsets , one east and west ,
IB other north and south , from the by
) int of the volcanic eruption , and it foi
tot
terns very probable that the upper cur- tb (
nts of the atmosphere have distribu- we
we (
d the dust hurled into the air at Java , to
suiting in the sky glows which have ore tic
educed such universal comment. o'c

AN experimental work has been go
ing on for a short time along the Mil
waukee and St. Paul Railroad Branch
and the Brandon Branch , about 30
miles in length , the object being to de
termine whether or not the barbed wire
of the fence on either side of the road
can be utilized for telegraphic purposes.
The fence wire was placed in proper
condition for a sufficient distance to
make a satisfactory test , the wire being
run under the surface at road crossings.
Superintendent of Telegraph Simpson
decides that the plan is not practicable.
Telegraph work can be done over the
fence wire at this time , he says , but
during the1 winter months , when huge
snow banks completely cover the fence ,
the line wonld be made useless. There
are thousands of miles of wire fence
along the Western lines , and it has been
contended that they should be utilized
for this purpose. Scientific American.
When the notorious James Robinson ,
or "Jack Shcppard , " or he is known to
the detectives , was sentenced to three
years in the Eastern penitentiary , he
was advised to try to lead a better life ,
which lay entirely with himself. "Yes , "
answered he , "I worked three years in
your state prison , and I know as much
about shoemaking as I do about watch
es. They taught me in your prison to
be dishonest. My principal "work waste
to paste leather and pasteboard togeth
er to make a thick sole to impose on
the public. The man having the con
tract was a Christian , a member of the
church , and at the time I called his at
tention to the pasteboard business he
was foreman of the Grand Jury. They
send me to the state prison to make me
honest , and that is the way they do it. "

HARDLY had the echoes of the Mar
quis of Lome's assurance to the people
of England that the Irishmen of Cana
da were loyal and averse to any disturb
ance , died away on the air , before the
telegraph began togecho another story
from Newfoundland. The entire popu
lation of Harbor Grace are in arms over
a bloody attack made upon an Orange
procession , and the local militia are
scarcely strong enough to prevent a
war of extermination between the bel
ligerent parties.
