sponilcnco of Tin : Bun J Ono cannot , help
really'admiring Englishman nil the raoro bo-
cnuso they love their "tlglit llttlo Island"
with on arrant , dcQant and uncompromising
unrcnsonnbloncsB ,
Too"mi miration Is not for their often mul
ish defense pf some features of KuiiHscRov-
erVfiftuVSnatf for nil English inttituttons. It
Is bocnuso every square acre of England Is so
ondcarlg ; : In its ago , association and beauty ,
nnd tlioso who possess It will Justly brook no
bclittloinont or It nil ; any more than you
would let some smart stranger come homo
and sneer at your sweetest and moit chor-
ishca , If simple , belongings , without pitch
ing both him and his airs Incontinently Into
the highway.
It Is such a beautiful country ; such n well
Icoptand delicious olu garden ; such smil-
Incr land in sunshine and snug and comfort
able one In storm ; and withal gives to the
Btri.nKer within It such a sense of constant
interest , coupled with close human compan
ionship and sympathies ; that cynic nna prig
nnd incapable of Interest In any land but his
own tbougli ho be , ho cannot now and then
repress a kindling enthusiasm , bo hero and
llioro pricked into secret admiration , In this
nlaco and that Hud tender and associative
interest ; and , however disloyal It may bo to
his determined "Americanism , " In splto of
lilmielf molt under Its innumerable appeals
to hls'hoiirf and intellect , until its peed and
suunv face co/ms his rigidity into n bright ,
icsponslvo look , and unwittingly his tongue
pays tribute with :
"Dour old England 1 most venerable anil
mellow in all things , most cantanker
ous und obstinate in many , thy face has kin-
hh.p and kingship In it , und thou an bright
est anil loveliest of all strange lands I'1
Seen Ironi u Cur Wliiiloiv.
And never will this be truer than when ,
ntier a tidy breakfast at some quiet , olu
cilv Inn , you nro whirled away from the
grime and sllmo at London across the shires
of Surrey and Hunts , to ancient Salisbury
town.
In that less than two hours' journey , on an
Enirllsh day in May time , what innumerable
scenes of interest , of stirring quality and of
rcsUulncss and repose flash upon you from
your carrinco window 1 1'asslng from
Waterloo station , or from any other railway
Elation in the heart of London , through the
lessening densities of the wondciful city to
the ilrst reaches of grassy licUls , is in itself
a tremendous social object lesson and historic
panorama.
But hero to the loft Is gay old Epsom.
\Ovor yonder to the right Is brilliant Ascot ,
with the vostund turrctudhomuof England's
.queen , at Windsor , a leaden gray silhouette
piercing the sky boyonu. To the south
sweeps.
the downs of Unlisted , edged xvltn woods ,
And tow'ry villas
while nt U'oklng a glimpse is caught of a
great English gipsv encampment.
Wtilsklng Into Hants , ur Hampshire , you
pass Onlhain , birthplace of tlio grammarian ,
William Lilly ; and to the north lie Basing ,
site of one of the lordliest castles of early
England , and Slluhostor , to this day nil ox-
uauatless inlno of Komun remains. Within
its walls the Usurper Constantine was in
vented with the purple , and legend has it that
King Arthur hero received his crown. Far
ther toward the sea , near Alcsford , nro the
great Tichbortio estates ; the sleepy hamlet -
lot of King Sumbourn , where John of
Uaunt had bis otd-tlmo palace ; Danebury
bill , with its frowning head and Homan en
campment ; nnd beyond , the low , square
tower of Winchester , behind which the pur
ple fringe of woods hints of New Forest
depths , where the arrow from Tyrrol's bow
pierced the heart of ruQlun Uufus , England's
second Norman king ,
I'uuttircR of Knullsh LnmlHcnnc.
These arc a few of the things one will
know about from the books , blill tnoro
gratefully foastful are the things ono.will
see and feel , as Innumerable hamlets , houses
and halls are passed. Glorious old manor
houses flash from parks and demesne
forests. Thatuhod roofs of village
homos , yellow with llchsn , nro varied
. hero nnd there by red tiling. Avenues of
ancient elms , beech and limes give tempting
'vistas ' above broad roads , tcssohucd with
lights and shades , und us gray und smooth as
Eomo old cathedral floor. Cropocd hedges
with trim , tiny fields give place hero and
there to downs rolling away in billowy bills
of heather , spangled with the golden nspho-
del , or wide meadows nnd tiny marshes
Whore flames the yellow marigold , or whore
the forpct-mo-nots uro so dense and blue
that their surface seems like a brocze-rlp.
pled pool. Hawthorn lanes nro white above
nnd beneath ns banks of driven snow. Great
musses of bonoysuculo trail from copse and
hod o ; and in around and above all this
May-ilmo nature heaven , thrushes and black-
biidi , high above the roaring of your train ,
flood all thu morn with song.
Almost enraptured one descends into the
valleys of the downs of South Wiltshire ,
lioro , where the tiny Bourne , the southern
Avon , the Nnddor and the Wiley songfully
meet in arlcu and beautiful valley , are seen
the gray musses of the old cathedral town.
Itomimnt uf Jtumun luy .
Old as it is it was originally built piece by
piece out of the Sarum , "the dry place , " o'f
the Komuus. Old and New Sarum , the slto
of the old city und the new city itself are
called. As you approach Salisbury down
the winding course of tno Bourne , you will
lee the old Uomun station to your right ,
about two miles north of the city. It stands
upon n chulky eminence , the headland of a
ridge of downs dominating all the beautiful
vnlly below.
No ono knows ho\v long before its occupa
tion by the Komans it baa been a fortlllcd
British camp. Six great roads , still tracea
ble , led up to it , und whan Homo conquered
Britain , Vespasian's Idglons gave it still
more imposing formications. A town was
built about It. It was In turn a bishopric of
tlio West vS.ixons , a great Norman garrison ,
an KnglUh cathedral city from the time al
King Alfiod , and now , ihough for centuries
in ruin , It Is still to the antiquary and
urcluuologlst ono of the many marvels of
England's early days.
Serena and reposeful Is all tbo valley
) ceno the gray old city with its masses of
Wtono , rod roofs and splendid foliage , with
its marvelous cathedral spire piercing a
cloudless bky ; the mossy bridges with
purupet loiterers , the outlying farms und
slonpy hamlets , at d the sllvory rivers
threading though and among odorous
hedges and , llouery [ mead ? . But awful
slaughter has reddened and enriched the
VPllov-nftrUons nnd Homans in mortal strife
for ijlnjf'dum , Britons asalast their 11 mil
Saxoiconqiiorurs \ , Saxons , in turn , against
the inurdorous Danes , and the flume and
eword und inconceivable , butcheries and
rapine of Cromwell , who respected nnlthcr
life nor shriiio In the name of the Lord.
Itlch in llliturlo liitcrcit.
Then what a llttlo world of Interest in this
nnd that of historic moment antiquarian mar
vel and lltorarv charm uro found Immediately
roundabout. The famous BrltlshKingAuro- ,
Hut Ambroalus lies burled at Amosbury , an
hour's Jourpoy dUtunt , though closer to the
heart U Amosbury houaeoften the residence
of the poet Gay. In the nonr little borouch
of Wilton Is the splendid seat of the earls of
Pembroke. Nearer still Is Bomerton , the
old home of Ueorgo Herbert , nnd the flue
memorial church to him who wui uoblo by
birth , gifts and nature.
Over the southeast you will ( hid ono

tout of the ArundoU , anil inomoruUo for tbo

Bui U eeuifto mo ilia ; ol oil else tne
kindliest glamor nnd charm Investing old
Salisbury and neighborhood have boon laid
upon them by the gentle pen of Dlcxcns. In
my loitering * in lane nnd highway , by river
side nnd in field-paths , how tlioso folk ot
"Martin Chuzzlowlt" troop back into their
old nccuitomod olaeo * . In this village or In
that you place the 1'orksnlH home , and nro
surothat from that dormer window the unc
tuous old hypocrltt's ' 'pupils" in architect *
ure. in company with tender-hearted Tom
Pinch , traced the elevations ot the far ca
thedral roof and splru.
"Mnrtln Clnuzlowlt" Country.
This llttlo waystda Inn , with Its snowy cur
tains and .vine-massed sides , must bo tha
veritable Blue Dragon presided over by
buxom Mrs. Lupin , where old Martin Chuz-
zlcwltt came , cursed with gold nnd haunted
by his vulture relatives , nnd where the
dirty anil jaunty Montnguo Tigg nnd his
companion , the "strnngo instnnco of tbo
llttlo frailties that besot a rutghtv mind , "
Chevy Slymo , oscj. , entered upon their mem
orable but bootless negotiations for n loan
from Air. Pecksniff. The llttlo nlohnuso
across the way must also bo the Halt Moon
nnd Seven Stars , where nil "thoprlvnto lodg-
IngR In the place , amounting to full four beds
nnd nnofn , rose cent per cent In the mar
ket , " ns the vulture relatives gathered.
Hnro where the quiet country road , no
moro than u snowy hawthorn Inne , stops
short nt the great highway , and ot old the
stages dashed onward to mighty London
town , Is certainly the very spot where poor
Tom Pineli , with a heavy heart , saw the
stage , like some "great monster" oo.ir nway
his friend , honest John Wostiock , "more ex
ultant nnd rampant than usual , " that dreary
night of ptrttng.
This bright highway athwart the rldgo ,
bordered with chestnut , elm or beach , with
Hero nnd there a sunny opening showing thn
clustered thatches nnd roses of a farmhouse ,
undoubtedly was the very ono over which
Pinch came In his hooded gig ; where the
redoubtable Mark Tapcly first disclosed
his contempt for tnoio vocations not
sad nnd harrying enoucb to rcndor
n Jolly spirit creditable ; where the
faces ot fair lassies beamed upon Tom , and
oven roguish fingers tossed him kisses , and
over which ho nt last reached Salisbury nnd
It ? snug old tavern in which nt "half past 0"
ho so happily moots young Martin nnd the
event is celebrated in a glass of punch each
as hot as It could bo made.
Wmt Una Feels In Salisbury.
T'uis delightful associative nearness to
tlioso whom Dickens has created for your
rcnsulcss friendship clings to you In tbo line
old city as well. If you are hero ol a market
day , as this ono IB , and as it nus on the occa
sion of Tom Pinch's visit , the picture Dick
ens drew for Tom is the one you will Und.
You will see "tho young farmers and old
farmers , with smock frocks , brown grout-
coats , drab greatcoats , red worsted comfort
ers , leather leggings , wonderful shaped hats ,
hunting whips and rough stick , " Just the
sumo as Tom Pinch did.
Somehow the quaint shops nro sncn
through Tom's uii.dly eyes. And when you
tire of all this nnd corao to that sweet
cathedral close , you loio all the ancient and
sacred place better because Tom Pinch's
friend was once associate organist here , and
lot Tom help with the stops , and when the
afternoon service was over loft Plnoh nlono
In the organ loft. While ho played and the
tones resounded through the cathedral
"groat thoughts nnd nones cams crowding
on his mind , " which "seemed to find an echo
In the depth of every ancient tomb , no less
than in the deon mystery of his own heart. "
And so It will bo with you , for it Is not so
much that the spire of this cathedral Is the
tallest in all England , that many of its tombs
and monuments arc the grandest and most
ancient , or that its close is incomparable in
its loveliness , tranquility nnd beauty , so that
all these charms of association stir your
mind and heart. Not so wonderful is what
\ou will see at Salisbury , though that is
wonderful indeed , as what you will fool.
So much of this tender enthusiasm pos
sesses you that you can never tell another
critically about Salisbury cathedral. No need
for that. But you see a glorious aspiration
wrought out in stone. Whatever your relig
ion , you realize that sublimcst human effort
sustnined by sublimes ! faith and zeal hnvo
fashioned from o.irthly elements something
indescribably grand and beautiful , to stand
as place tor prayer and typo of endless up-
rcachlncs of human hearts to the mvstory
of the I nil in to. Euu.vu L. WAKEMAN.
A RAILROAD IN CANAAN.
1'roin Mount Cnrmol Around Mount Tuba
to the Hun ol Gulllce * .
The infidel has nt lust succeeded. For
many a your ho 1ms been trying to got
permission to build railroads across Pal
estine. At last the sultan has nlllxed
hia signature to a decree giving to an
English capitalist permission to build
and operate n railroad from Aero to
Dainaseus. The company is already
formed und many of the contracts let ,
and work will bo begun nt oneo.
The route has boon fully surveyed ,
says the Now York Tribune's Constanti
nople correspondent. It has two ter
minals on the Mediterranean , at Aero
and Haifa , the branches from the two
uniting at the southeast of Mount , Car-
niol. That the road should start from
Aero is a bit of poetic justica ,
for that town was the last strong
hold of the Christians in PuloH-
tine at the end of tno ' Crusades.
From Mount Curmel the line runs di
rectly down to Jozrcel. following , ono
may readily imagine , the very truck of
Elijah the Tislibito , who , after the
famous Battle of the Gois on the moun
tain height , girded up his loins and ran
before the chariot of King Ahab all the
way buck to the capital of Samaria.
Thus it passes to the south of Nazareth ,
and Nain , and Mount Tabor , to Boisnn.
At tho.latter place it turns to the north
and runs uptho western bank ot the
Jordan. Before ranching the Sea of
Galileo , however , it crosses the river
and strikes off to the northeast to El
Iltumna , Khidlln nnd Nawu , and thence
straight on to Damascus.
The length of tlio line is 120 mites , all
but ton or twelve being on almost level
plains. The cost is estimated at about
$9,000,000.

May 23. Correspondence ot Tim
13r.i : . | Tlio new salon In the Champs do
Mars , result ot the MoUsonlor art revolt , is
fnlrly contesting the honors of popularity
with the salon this year. Wo wore not
fortunate enough to secure cards for the
vornUsago. but wo tnvo since done our best
to Improve our opportunities of looking on
the work of the disciple of the "groat llttlo
painter , " of Carolus Duran and Puvls do
Charnnncs.
At the top of the stairs ot tha now gallery ,
Just under the dome , the walls nro adorned
with mag'nlllcont tanostrlcs fro.n the old
Uobsltn looms. The roam it decorated with
palms and shrubs , with bore and there haau-
tlful oxntnolos of the ceramic drt , The
sculpture hall , like tbo salon ot the Htysoo ,
Is n vcrltiblo garden of shrubs , palms ,
flowers ntid fountains. Tuo National
Society of Pine Arti seems to
have succeeded In reaching n big standard of
excellency. Tns pictures are certainly not
Inferior to these of the salon of the Champ *
Elysocs. 1 cannot BOO that they nro bettor ,
but I nm not a Judge , the critics say they are
better.
Ono of the most noteworthy pictures Is
Beraud's "Descent from the Cross. " The
Christ , the laoul figure , is surrounded by
figures clothed in the garb of the present
time , just such loaning people as you would
meet any day walking around Paris. The
virgin is palntod as an old French woman
with an ordinary cap. The other figures nrc
claa In the blouse , gown or coat of the
.French peasant. The Saviour wrapped in n
white sheet la being lowered to the earth by
tender bands. Mary Magdalen Is dressed lllio
a French widow , nnd is wringing her hands
and wcoplug , whtlo u man dressed llko a
French working man , supposed to bo Peter ,
is shaking his list at the city , which has
crucified his Lord , It is night , and the
scene is supposed to bo on a hill overlooking
Paris.
Noteworthy 1'lct urcs.
There is a colossal canvas By Puvls do
Chavanncs , roDrcsenting winter , which is to
form ono ot the decorative panels of the
Hotel do Vlllo. It is n wonderful representa
tion of soft ntmosphorlo effect , the scene
being n forest covered with snow , with
groups ot husbandmen , perhaps , nnd wood
cutters. The harmony of the coloring Is
magical.
Mr. Alexander Harrison exhibits two re
markably line marine pictures. Ono pioturos
the waves rolling in to the shore after a gale.
Ono , called uTho Brothers , " a striking
contrast to the other , shows a smooth , quiet
sea , on a warm summer's day , with a croup
of pretty mnldcni frolicking In the water
which scarcely hides" their knops , whllo on
the shore sit two other girls laughing nnd
enjoying the promts of their companions.
A horribly realistic picture is "Tho Dream
of Dante. " It Is from the easel of M. La
Toudo und represents the Interior of the in
ferno , with figures cashed , bleeding and
tortured. This has a companion picture In
the other Salon that seems to attract at
tention. Some people like horrors. It is
the picture of a dead tree iu the cleft of n
mountain. "An immense eagle has carried to
his oyno in this clnft a little burro , laid him
across the tree nnd is devouring him. The
llttlo bit ot coloring in the picture Is the
blood dropping from the ontrils of the un
fortunate beast.
Ono of the favorably criticized pictures ,
nnd ono that attracts great attention , Is by
Mr. Marcus Simons , entitled "My Kingdom
is Not of This World. " A.aying monarch ,
clad In regal robes , surrounded bv nil tKo *
circumstance and pornp of royalty , while
nonr by lies the Infant Jesus in a rudowiclcor
cradle , watched over by shadow angels.
Another largo canvas showing great har
mony of color nnd wonderful detail is a scouo
in Paris of the Roman period. It represents ,
what is now tha "Iblo of the City , " with a
heathen tompln upon it , nnd the galleys of
thejtlmo unloading their merchandise on the
banks of tbo Selno.
.Tottel , tbo talented Austrian artist , has a
delicious canvas , "Coin de Jurdin. " nn
old fuihloncd garden with sunflowers
und all tbo old fashioned flowers
scattered nround in picturesque confusion
a picture ono would novar tire of.
Tending to the Nnillr of the Nude.
There nro not so many canvasses nnd not
so much of the nude in these four magnifi
cent galleries of the palois dos Beaux Arts
as In the other Salon. Uoldlnl , whoso portraits
traits are miracles , has two , ono of a child
dressed in a crraylsh whtto frock , long thin
log * In black stockings stretched gracefully
on a gray sofa , the little bit of color In this
nthorwlso colorless picture being clvon by a
dark rod rose laying ncalnst the white dre s.
An admirable portrait of James Gordon
Bennett Is by M. Kundol. "Carniuncita , "
by Sargent , is the picture ot a true Uastllian
beauty all in yellow and black laces. It is
verv llko and very much admired.
But enough of pictures. Let mo toll my
fair friends something about the fashions.
Hats are bigger ihan over , sotno with very
high crowns , almost In a peak , tome with no
crown nt oil. The straw Gats and bonnets
corao4n nil the delicate shades ot pink , green
and mouse. Then they nro trimmed with
black velvet , and llowcrs of a contrasting
color. Flowers , flowers everywhere. An
exquisite white chip hat. has a high crown ,
broad brim , with whlto nnd purnto .nines ,
with their green loaves piled on top and cov
ered with a dainty laco. Lilacs uro the fa-
vorlto flowers this season. Another dainty
hat Is made entirely of delicate pink ( lowers
and whlto lace butterflies , with pink
velvet strings. A black opon-work straw ,
trimmed with heavy gros grain yellow rib
bon , with ornaments of gold and Rhinestones ,
is very recherche.
uno oi ino proiuost and daintiest of gowns
Is n ponrl-colorcd cashmere , very line in tex
ture , made in princesso stylo. Around tno
sltjrt is double pleating 'of silk , the satno
shade as the casbmero. Tbo waist Is om-
broldcrod in the shape of a deep yoke , with
silver and shades of grey silk , the top of the
slcovos very bouffant , and from the elbow
embroideries to match the waist.
Somu ro\(3ly flowus.
Ono of the loveliest gowns I have soon was
n very light heliotrope , embroidered in sil
ver and black around the skirt , twelve Inches
in depth. A jabot of lace ono-fourtb yard in
.width gracefully draped on the skirt from
loft aide to moot tbo ombroldorv at the foot
of the slclrt. The bodlco was embroidered to
match tbo skirt and the snmo kind of lace
most artistically draped over It. Another
gown made for u Now YTork Judy of world
wide reputation was ot tan colored cloth. A
double ruchlng of blncic laoa around thu
skirt , above the ruchingembroideries of gold
and Jet. The bodlco was so covered with
tno embroidery and Inco that verv llttlo of
the cloth was visible. 'Laco on cloth Is very
muoU "on vogue" nnd does not look as in
congruous ns ono mignt fmaglno.
A well known firm in Paris has made some
wonderfully handsome toilettes for the
omnroas of Russia. Ono coivn Is of shot
moire , blue nnd pink , < o beautifully shot that
IOOKHH : nt the dross ono wuv it looker ! pink
and the other wav bfuo. There are rich
panels of point do Voniso ever blue satin on
each sldo of the skirt. The decollete bodice
Is draped with blue crepe. Bows of blue
lined with pink are around the BUlrU A
pointed scarf of blue satin is lined with pink ,
and has a diamond buckle In front. Another
gown Is an extremely handsome yellow
brocade aud velvet. It U made with
n long train and slightly low
bodice. The velvet Is covered with seal gold
lace , the lace outlined by an embroidery of
real seed pearls.
A very beautiful gown eullablo forablondo
is of bcliotropo und palo gray , Aiouud the
skirt runs a rose quilting of three Inches
wide of satin nbboa , heliotrope and palo
gray. TUJ bodlco is Y-shaped back and
front-and tilled in with purple oropo dottoa
with silver stars. The sleeve * are short ,
inado ot the crepe. There is n holiotropa
sub , very pointed In front , carried to tbo
bitcK and bung la Watteau pleats.

Incidents of n 1'islit with Indians Who
Tried to Kscilpo from Crook.
New York Sun : There wcro two
tmeses by which the Indians might ,
ieiivo tho'valloy when Crook rode in on
the east side to uttack. They wore ra
vines not over a quarter of a inilo npart ,
and there wo : o many sipfns to prove
that the redskins made daily use of
tlictn. A lieutenant and twenty men
wore dropped out of the column here to
hold these passes in case the hoatllos trot
the alarm and sought to leave the valley
without a fight , if they did not try to
escape , then wo were to advance up the
trails as soon ns wo hoard firing , and
this would take the warriors in the roar.
The lieutenant and nlno men to ono
pass Sergeant Lomux and nine men to
the other , tn twenty minutes wo had a
breastwork of logs and rocks nnd brush
across the mouth of our pass , and wore
down behind it and waiting when the
lieutenant's orderly rode up and said :
"Lieutenant Blank orders you to re
port as often as possible in case of at
tack. "
"Orders received nnd understood and
will bo promptly' obeyedl" replied the
sergeant stillly.
Dear old Sergeant LoraaxI Wounded
at Cold Harbor , apain at Fredericksburg -
burg , once moro in the ' Wilderness. IIo
led us on at Kornsto'wn. when captain
and lieutenants were wounded or nris-
onors. IIo wae rallying us at Cold Har
bor when struck down. Ho was fight
ing to save our regimental flag when a
bullet hit him at Gettysburg.
Ho had boon hit twice by In
dian arrows , nnd sihglo - handed
and nlono ho had "stood oil" half n
dozen hostiles until assistance camo. A
storn-iiiced man , whoso only religion was
army regulations who sooinod to have
no world bay end the camp. A martinet
in his way , but always just. If ho exacted -
acted obodionuo , ho also rendered it.
Private soldiers cannot erect monuments
over their dead comrades. It must suf
fice that tholr memory is revered und
defended.
Wo had been waiting half an hour
when the Indians appeared. Their
lookouts had sighted Crook moving
around the spur of the mountain , and
they were malting a break to lonvo the
the valloy. When they found the n.isses
occupied they became desperate. Firing
began tit once in both passes. I was
aiming for my third shot whoii the sergeant
goant touched my arm and said : "Toll
Lieutenant Uliitik that I have boon at
tacked. Also , that Private Jimioa Whlto
has been killed. "
I carried the order to the other pass
and returned , While I was absent the
Indiana withdrew from a council. The-
result was a dotorinlnutlon to break out
by the way of the pasBoi , and when the
firinir rouominonccd It was hot and
heavy. I had flroa tliroo or four times ,
when the sergeant signaled mo and said :
"Toll Lioutotiaiit Hlank that I am
fighting at IOIIBI ' 100 warriors. Also ,
that Private Jonca has boon killed
und CorporalTn'ylorsovorolv wounded. "
I carried the order as before , finding
the olllcor hothr engaged and having
two men woumUd. I returned , saluted ,
and took my plnco , and for the next
BOVOII or olghtnninutos the firing showed
no evidence of. blacking down. Tlio bottom
tom of the puBH/wua thick with bouldora ,
nnd the Indiana vibud thorn as uhol-
tors. Tholr i > ) un eoumod to bo to croup
ns nour ah ponuiblo mid then make a
dash for the bwinslwork. Wo had the
Spencer BoventHhot carbines , nnd wo
poured in a IIru whiuh made thorn bollovo
wo nuiuborodu.kwholo company. Wo
were holding tlioiii boaullfully when the
sqrgoaiit movoibovor to mo und uhoutud
In my oar :
"Toll Lloutannnt Hlnnk that wo uro
holdlni ; the Imlluns In chook. Aluo that
Private Johnson has been killed and
Private Adams mortally wounded. "
This time I found that the lieutenant
had had ono man killed and two others
wounded , and that the fire along his
front was hotter than before , I shouted
the report in his oar , while ho was using
ono of the carbines dropped ny a wounded
man. Ho nodded to show that ho under
stood and I hastened back. As I reached
the line the fire of the Indians began to
slacken. I noticed that ours did too and
I looked down the line to see the causes
I could see only'two others with carbines
in their hands , while the sergeant was
half lying down and facing mo. Ho
beckoned to mo with a hand on which I
plainly saw blood and as I crawled over
to him I saw that ho was wounded in the
side. I kneeled to examine the wound ,
but ho waved mo back and said :
"Toll Lieutenant Blank that the In
dians are ubout to charge over us. Also ,
that I have only thrco mon loft. Also ,
that lam mortally woundcdl"
I hesitated to obey. IIo lifted his
hand-tried to speak , and then fell back
with the blood gushing out of his mouth ,
and wan dead in ten seconds. I had not
yet reached the other pass when the In
dians charged with a yell , broke over
the breastworks , und these who still
lived were wiped out in n flash. Hours
later , when wo recovered the ground ,
there were nine mutilated and disfig
ured bodies asking for burial. When
Crook saw them and hoard the story ,
tears came to his oycs. That was his
tribute , and it was u grander ono in the
eyes of the living than u monument of
bronze.

It aroly falls to the lot of the reviewer
to notice so exhaustive- work as the
"World's Fair Souvenir , " which has
boon compiled with so much care by n
former resident of Omaha , John D.
Jones. For purposes of roforcnco , o
comparison and for general information
the work la a magnificent roll ox of the
push nnd energy of a city that is the wonder -
dor of the world.
In its compilation expense has not
be.cn thought of , and the richness of its
illustrations of the World's fair buildIngs -
Ings , cuts of the mon and woman who are
directing to n Bttccossiul IBSUO what bida
fair to bo the greatest exposition of an-
'ciont or modern times , pictures
of the colossril uusinoss blocks tha
stand as monuments to the enterprise of
heir owners and builders , is typical of
the "Chicago gait , " as the rush and
bustle of the great city by the inland sea
has boon doscribod.
The book has boon arranged upon a
most comprehensive plan , the object of
the publisher being to ( jlvo a complex
rcBiimo of what may bo soon In Chicago
In 1693 , and at thor sumo time glvo the
nformation In n compact form , so that
the work may bo a valuable adjunct to
ho library und reading room. Its use
fulness will not end with the oloso of
the exposition , but on the contrary will
grow in vnluo with years , for It is the
moat'porfuot ' compendium yet issued o
nn.ovunv which cannot fall to hnvo nn
Influence tor many docudoa to comoupou
all lines of art , literature nnd com
merce. As Mr. Jones says in the Intro-
auction to the work : "As an educator
this event will leave its impress upon
hucceeding generations and boar fruit in
all realms of human thought , ingenuity
and progress. "
In addition to its complete epltomo of
what has been done , is doing and will bo
done when the fair opens , it comes to
the general public at n most opportune
time. It brings before the American
peop'o the forces that are actively at
work to make the exposition n success
worthy of n nation that in a little over a
century has , from nothing , hulldod the
mightiest republic of earth. It not only
gives full page art typo illustrations and
descriptions of the principal buildings
of previous world's fairs and all the
buildings of the present World's Colum
bian Exposition , together with portraits
and biographical sketches of its
officers and chiefs of departments
but it tolls "How to Roach the
Fair , ' * gives descriptions of Chica
go's parks and boulevards , its places of
( unusomcnt , the wholesale und jobbing
interests , its railroad facilities , and in
general is the most complete guidebook
to the city that stands at the edge of
Lake Michigan.

THE TEIiEPHONK MONOPOLY.
ltl tlio 1'rom'iit Company Cuiiuot
Control.
Notwithstanding the fact that nil that
is absolutely essential to telephony ,
viz. : the transmission of aud Iblo speech
by moans of uudulatory currents of elec
tricity , will bo free to the world In loss
than a year's time , the position of the
Boll company , from n business stand
point , will continue almost impregnable ,
says Kloctrlolty. Many of tlio funUiroti
that have contributed so largely to the
commercial succoes of the telephone
are covered by patents which
that company now controls. Among
the most important of thofo
nro these covering the use of variable
contacts in transmitting Instruments ,
but it is not ut all Improbable that n
bettor and moro rational method of con
verting sound waves into elect rieml un
dulations may yet bo discovered. Another -
other element of strength possessed by
the existing monopoly is the fact that it
already has the business. A telephone ,
llko an advertisement , is of vnluo only
In proportion to the number of people it
reaches , nnd n competitor in the field
will have the dilllcully to contend with ,
that it will bo almost impossible to got
his Unit BubscriUoi'B , however low ho
may place his figures , and without these
in nt louHt us great a number us tlioso of
the oxlaiinir uonipnny , there can practi
cally ho no competition nt all ,
Successful competition with the Boll
company , thorpforo , postulates an Inox.
huuBtlbio uply of funds , jmtlonco ,
energy and business tact , and the In
vention of many altogether now devices ,
nt least equally efficient as these already
posscsbcd by the existing company.
London is now on the eve of trying the _
experiment , and wo may learn much of
value from her experience in the undor-
tu'ang. ' The new company which has
been organized to compete with the
monopoly , which in tins case is the
British government , has fully realized
the necohsity of a list of subscribers us
a foundation to build on , of giving better -
tor service and of rendering this at a
lower tariff. To accomplish this they
pi omiso that the first 5,000 subscribers
will bo taken on at $03
per year , and that no charge
whatever will bo made until Il.OOO'lijX
strumenls are actually connected
through their exchange. After the
lirbt 5,000 subscribers are obtained , sub
sequent customers will bo charged 5 > 70
per annum , instead of $100 .as at pres
ent , and improved service will bo ren
dered by the use of complete metallic
circuits instead of grounded circuits us
now used by the government. The outcome / >
come of the undertaking , wo think , la
exceedingly problematical , but it can
not fall to bo instructive , whatever the
result may bo.
But there Is a Inrgo field for the telephone -
phone that the Boll company cannot
control.V o refer to private lines nnd "i
other domestic applications of the tolo- '
phono. This branch of the businosa
has never yet boon much de
veloped in fact , has boon prac
tically Btrangled by the tarilTs
charged heretofore. A thousand and
ono uses to which the telephone could
bo put are suggested every day , but into
which It docs not find its way for reasons
entirely foreign to the question ol
ndapta'bilitv. The phonograph bun
proved a failure from a businouH point
of view , ehiclly , wo think , because of
the short-sightod policy which has prevented -
vented Us sale outright. Wo bollovo
that were It put ou tlio market at a fair
price its use would become nt ouco
moro general. Wo believe , also , that
the Boll comp'iny would find it to tholr
advantage , financially , to Boll their
latest improved telephones and trans-
inittorB for domestic nnd other similar
purposes. If the Boll company docs not
do this after the expiration of its funda
mental patents Homebody else will , nnd
will doubtless recolvo a suitable reward ,
