I'liujuleli.hia l'reso' Iickn wa aiii Ixltor.
When l'rexidfiit Huirh J. Jewett. of the
I Erio railroail, pahts through this littlo tow a
the c itizens flock to the stativn to gazo upon
i Lbiprivuto car, t ho Itamapo, viljlch is oro
I of tho most luxurious over mado y the
j l'ulluuin company.
"in those- days the luxury of travel Is
something astouihhiug," said President Jer
ott, a few days ago, to a representative of
Tho Press. "There were two other cars
built just like this," ho continued, with a
comprehensive wave of his hand. ''One was
for Henry Villard, president of the Oregon
l!ilwny and Navigation company, and the
othT was for Thomas W. Pierce, president
of tho Sunset route, hi Texas. Just look at
thU car."
At the forward end of tho car Is a kitchen)
Lack of this is a parlor, which cau be turned
into a lino dining-room ; ad joining w a bed
room ; with a small bath-room attached, and
at the roar end a nrnoking-room and observa
tory. Kloctric ljells connect with the kitchen.
The upholstery is niagniflcout, and tho interior
is decorated with inlaid woods of the most
costly kind. Tho cost was $20,000.
"lho 'Old Commodore'" (Vaudorbilt), said
Mr. Jewett, with a smile, "used to ride over
hia roads in a car that ho thought was about
as hue as could lie gotten up. That car is
now owned by the "Wagner company, and is
called tho Iroquoi.-i, and any one may ride in
hi it who chooses to pay the extra fare. Peo
ple who are not able to control as many
pennies as the commodore bad dollars can to
day rido iu better curs than tho railroad king
ever dreamed of. It costs at leaat 15,000 to
build a Pullman, car now-a-days, and, the
Imjuois did not cct more than half that sum."
"What kind of private car has William H.
Vanderbilt!" was a.skod.
WILLIAM IT. VANDERBILT'S CAR.
"A beauty. It 13 about seveuty-tive feet
L-ng uud six feet wido, by alxiut thirteen feet
high. It has a kitchen in front, just like this
car; back of it is Mr. Vanderbilt' state-room.
The dining-room, fritting -room and card-room
come next. The observatory Is at the rear
and has inclosed sides. It is elegantly fitted
np in the moet luxurious style, and on the
sides of the car are four views, representing
the Wert Albany bridge of the New York
C'Ltsal, Niagara Falls, the Grand Central
dej .t at Foily -second street, and one other,
which I di not ca.ll to mind. The car proba
bly cost rOOO."
"ilr. Vanderbilt doexsome fast traveling
et lejint ho used to?"
"Yes. "When he makes a trip he goes as
fast as he can. lie takes a special engine,
orders all trains off the main track, and he
travels as rapidly as the engine can go. A
time-table is marie up, generally, for lus train
tiefore he starts, and telegi-aphed to every
station along the road. This prevents the
possibility ot accident."
"IIow alout Jay Gould's private car!"
"The Convoy, No. 143, is its name at least
it used to be. It Is the same car that Com
niodore nrrion nsed to occupy, and hs ac
commodation for twelve. It is not strikingly
beautiful; finished in black walnut,"
"Are the cars of the Pennsylvania lailroad
officials strikingly elegant?"
"They are hamWwe supplied with state
room, sloeping room, kitchen mid other
apartment. John W. Garret car, the
Maryland, used to be considered 'strikingly
elegant.' Ills son KoWrt used to have a
special car, too, called, I tbink, ti e Balti
more." "Then all tho great railroad magnates have
special cars, do theyf
"Nearly all in fact I might say all. There
are many others, you know, who own cars of
thoirown. Patti, Nilsson, Mrs. Langtry
and so on, ad infinitum. Mrs. Langtry's car,
I see, has reently been finished at Utica, N.
Y. Queen Victoria does not travel in such a
luxurious car as Mrs. Langtry will occupy."
"Will foreign railway carriages bear a nj
comparison with our American cars?"
ADVANTAGES OF AMERICAN TRAVEL.
"Not very much. The fact is any one who
can pay his way on a parlor or hotel car to
day in America can travel quite as luxuri
ously as the empress of India. It is a com
mon thing to see special cars now ; ten years
ago they were a curioslsty. AlTJrich menride
in specials when making a long journey,
either south or west. If a party of ten or
twelve is made up to go to San Francisco,
the expense is no greater to hire a car with
cooks and waiters than it would be to ride on
the ordinary palaco cars end stop at first
class hotels on the way. Noblemen and
wealthy foreigners coming to America often
hire a special car. The Duke of Sutherland,
the Grand Duke Alexis, Dom Pedro, of Brazil,
and Baron de Something-or-other, the Rus
sian embassador, are among those who have
crossed the continent in special cars."
"You remember that Jarrett & Palmer,
the theatrical men, once ran a whole train as
a special to San Francisco?''
i?When a whole train is chartered the rates
are made according to the distance, number
of cars, etc.
"What is the cost per mile!"
"Well about 25 cents, I think, although no
company will send out an engine as a special
for a short distance for less than 820. The
schedule time is so fast to-day upon nine
tenths of the roads that a special could not
bettor it more than a few minutes. People in
these cars insist ujon fast time. It is not
permitted, however, to attach a special car
to any of the limited trains like the New
York and Chicago or the Washington limited.
These trains are made up of the full number
of cars that the engine can pull through and
make schedule time, and I doubt if even the
president of the road would presume to at
tach bis special car to one of these trains and
risk delaying it.
"Do railroad magnates have to pay for hav
ing their cars hauled over the roads T'
"Not as a rule. Most of them enjoy the
courtesy of the other roads, owing to the
business relations that are continually exist
ing between the different roads. The work
ing offloers of the western railroads live in
their cars for weeks at a time, and it would
be a great expense if they were obliged to
pay when they traveled over other lines. All
the principal roads have a car known as the
directors' car, and in this the officers and di
rectors go over the road once a year to make
their 'inspection.' The Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Western owns a fine directors' car.
Those directors of western roads who live in
the east have the car sent on to them, and
take them to the annual meeting and back.
On some roads the president's car has to pay
bridge tolls. This is where the road runs
over bridges owned by private corporations,
for which privilege they pay 3 or $3 per
car."
"There are also hunting cars, are there
not?"
"Yes; hunting and fishi ng cars. The Pull
man company, three or four years ago, built
two handsome ones, the 'Davy Crockett' and
the 'Isaac Walton.' The charge is $35 a day,
including a cook and a waiter, both of which
expect douceurs.however. These sportsmen's
cars are smaller than the ordinary Pullmans,
although large enough for ten persons, and
are provided with gun-racks, kennels for thr
dogs, and they are in constant damaEd."
".Are there any of this kind of cars owned
by private individuals V
'-'I havo heard that Jerome Marble, of
Massachusetts, built one for his own use. and,
finding that his venture was so successful, he
built two more to let"
"Private individuals often hire cars then?"
"Very often. Charles A. Dana took his
party Of friends to California in a privates
car; President Arthur took his Florida trip
in a private car although he paid nothing
for it, I lielieve and a great many people do
tlie same thing. There are cars constructed
for the express purpose of hiring to families
and private parties. These cars are arranged
to hold ten persons; - the main salon is
furnished with an organ, and - the charges
are only . $S5 a day, including the
cook, conductor, porter and waiters. But,
bosirie this, the nerson who liti-na the c.r
uiust purcnarte ruir iicfvn tor Cii Uie party ut
the line over which the car passe. This U to
pay for hauling the car. lVovislons and
liquors are supplied at cost, or jou can stock
tho car yourself. Sleeping cars aro lot atf65 a
day, including attendants, and eighteen full
tie'kc-t must lie bought. Hotel cars are
charged for at the rato of 73 a day, and tho
same number of tickets must be bought."
' While this conversation wan coinr on tho
tpocial car of President Jewett, attached to
the fast train of the Erie, the St. Louis ex
press, No. 8, was humming along over tho
rails at the rato of forty-eight miles an hour,
averago speed, toward Port Jervls, N. Y.,
the end of the Delaware divhiiou, without a
particle of nowe and without scarcely any
perceptible motion. Tb run of twenty-two
miles was mado hi twenty-eight minutes, and
after a moment's rtop the "llamapo
whisked away from tho ktation on its voyage
to tho metropolis.

Pvoscoo Conkling makes a good many flying
trips to Washington in connection with his
law business. Ho avoids the white house,
and is as unbending as ever toward reporters.
An eastern correspondent trlexi to interview
him tho other day. "Sir," said the dignified
ex-senator, "you must excuse me. I cannot
converse with members of the press." Roacoe
had some bitter lessons in interviewing when
he was in the icenith of , his political career.
The representative of one of the leading pa
pers of the country called upon him before
he had soured against newspaper men. Conk
ling received him like a prince, and was at
some pains to give him the desired informa
tion. The scribe assured Itoacoe that his lad-
guage would bo given verbatim et literatim.
But the scribe reckoned without his chief. On
reiorting the result of his mission the latter
said: "Psliaw, if Conkling gave you that
he meant just . tho opposite. " I'll twist
it into shape." Ho-, twisted it into such a
shape that made the "proud Roscoe wild with
vexation, and threw the scribe into epileptic
fits. A year or two afterward this inter
viewer was made chief of the bureau, and he
determined to make amend to Lord Roscoe
at the first opportunity. That opportunity
arrived sooner than he expected. During a
time of great political excitement, when the.
views of Conkling were looked forward to
with great interest, a prominent Republican
asked this correspondent If he would print an
interview with the New York senator just as
it was given. "Certainly," was the prompt
reply. "I will guarantee that not a word
hall be changed." The interview took place.
It was wired to the home office as Conkling
dictated it. The editor evidently suspected
this, since he prefaced it with a stinging in
troduction to the effect that Roscoe had caused
himself to be interviewed, and strutted like a
peacock as he talked to himself. That was
the last straw. It killed every vestige of
Conkllng'9 faith in newspaper men. To-day
he would rather have a scorpion dally with
bis favorite curl than spend five seconds in
the company of a reporter on business.
Girl si la the Breaker. '
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Did you ever sit in one the "grand stands"
at Coney Island and see tho girls in fancy
stockings wade in till the puny surf just
about wets tho tops of them tho stockings,
please remember and then hop up and down,
clinging to the ropes and yelping! Well, that
is what you don't seo at the unheard-of bath
ing places I am telling you about. You
would tie surprised (writes a New York cor
respondent) at tho number of girls who are
expert and daring swimmers Murray Ilill
daughters of from fifteen to twenty summers,
who walk coolly down to the breakers, follow
out the receding sweep of water till they,
meet an incoming "roller," then poise them
selves on tip-toe, stretch their brown arms
above their heads and plunge headlong into
the wall of the water just as it is about to
break and dash down upon them. With a
seething sound the crest of the wave shoots
upward, combs over gracefully, thunders
down upon tho beach, and goes back with a
roar, and Miss Murray Hill is seen floating at
her case out beyond tho line of breakers. I
saw her when she had been venture
some enough to do just that thing
whilo the tide was running out with
unusual force. The breaker had given her a
hard tussel when she went through it, and
she turned to swim in ; but the outward cur
rent was too strong for her, and though doing
her best, she was being carried farther and
farther from land. Did she yell and swallow
salt water, and strangle and sink? Not a bit
of it. She raised one hand out of the water
to show that sho needed assistance, flopped
over on her back, spread out her arms, and
lay still as a mouse, with her precious sun
burned nose barely above the water, Jetting
the tide have its own way with her. In one
minute more a couple of stalwart swimmers
were at her side with a plank and line. Then
she rested her arms on the plank and was
hauled in smiling, for which service she
quietly said she was much obliged.
American "Lawyers.
London Times.
"In no country In the world," said Burke,
fully a century ago, with reference to Amer
ica, "is law so general a study;" and this re
mark still holds good. Law is, and always
has been, regarded there as a road leading to
all greatness. Usually two-thirds of the
members of congress are lawyers. They
swarm in journalism. They become "railroad
men" or great financiers. They pull the wires,
organize parties, and play a political part
altogether out of proportion to that which
belongs to the same class here. Our lawyer,
even the greatest of them, have rarely had
more than a secondary position in polities.
On the other hand, from Hamilton's time to
our own, the same class in the United States
has always been in the very front rank
of party warfare. It is, however, a much
more numerous class than with us. We
have, to be sure, no lack of lawyers, but an
average American town will contain three
times as many members of the profession as
an yngHcii town of - equal use. Amer
ican lawyers might claim with con-
ctrlnraLla roc-cnev that thev haA cultivated
not merely the gracSs of their profession
more assidiously than the English bar, but j
that they were accustomed to look at new
legal questions raised by the circumstances
ot modern society with a freedom and breadth
of view which is very rare here."

ASTOB AND BELMONT.
The Fall
r Twi Yr atnuonatre
relttlelaa.
Kew York Letter in Chicago Herald.
I am compelled to record the ruin tf two
young millionaire politicians William Wat
dorf Astor and Perry Belmont. They went
into politics on the English idea that Aristo
crats can appropriately play at ruling the
common people. Astor went to Albany as a
P-epublieau assemblyman, and ruined his
chances of re-election by voting submissively
with tho jobbers. Then he, struck out for
congress, and his famous "personal canvass''
ensued. He made the round of all the saloons
in his district,, treating the loungers in each
place and taking no change from a 20 gold
piece; he attended a political association's
ball and danced with its belle, who happened
to be a girl from a tobacco factory ; he shook
hands effusively with workingmen in their
places of employment, and all this he did
with such a palpable feeling of condescension
that he gave offense instead of gaining favor.
Moreover, that course damaged hint im
mensely with his wealthy and fashionable
neighbors, who read copious .reports ot bis
previous day's doings in their morning jour
nals, and were disgusted by his sycophancy.
He made the most strenuous efforts to cir
cumvent the reporters, but their carriages
usually kept up with his own. He was de
feated overwhelmingly in a district nominally
Republican. President Arthur, looking for
ward to-social solidity here after his sei vlces
in Washington are over, appointed him
minister to Italy, and all the world knows
what a fool be has made of himself in Rome,
Wt.ll. about Bfitroont. it went Into toolU
r.cs m a Democrat, thoosiug u. Lwii iinana
district in which he could ckiiui 'a residence
by ostensibly living on his daddy Vftock farm.
Ho was elected toctingrcviuii'l'.'rtheguidami
of ex-Editor Ilurlbort, of Tho World, and got
along without fceriou.! ini.-hap in Washington.
Put at homo hU prosjifct havo fill gone to
tho dogs. John Devoy, editor of Tho lrWi
Nation, recklof-sly and unjustly vaildoM
man Auppifet Belmont for leaving li verted
omo Fcian fund money Lito British ha mis,
and the millionaire prosecuted him into tho
penitentiary, where ho is now serving a six
months' sentence. Yv'hat's tho consequence!
Every Irishman iu tho son's dist rii -t is down
on the young chap throjgh hatred of the
father. The handwriting is so distinct on the
wall that, when the local Democratic leaders
were lately invited to a grand dinner iu his
honor, so many of them declined that tho
project was abandoned. Polities will not
much longer bo a playtLla ; for Perry.
So aro ended th- jiolitie.il careers of an
Astor and a Belmont. They hrivo demon
strated that money will not buy favor with
the American peoDlo. It taks brains. Often
tho menial requisite is unfortunately allied to
dishonesty or meanness, but that is ludter
than to let moneyed mediocrity win.
But it is too hot hero to discus.? politic. Tho
city was almost empty on the Fourth of July.
Some thousands ami 1 went to Long Branciu
There I camo arross cx-I'rcMileut Grpnt.
Everybody addresses him us general,
which would seem to prove that his
military glory surpasses his civic
glory in popular estimation. He sat and
chatted on tho veranda of Geor;; . Childa'
cottage. He doesn't know yet for certain
whether he will come down for tha summer.
There came along a most remarkablo double
locked, red and yellow and blue wagon, gor
geous enough for a Vermont jioddk'r ami odd
enough for a circus street proeessimi. It was
built for a green grocer, who loads it every'
morning and sends it on the rounds among tho
cottages. That started Grant on his experi
ence as a Loner Branch householder.
TWO.
In the but 'gloom of a winter':; morn
A lialie was- born.
The snow piled hiifh against wall and dxr,
On the mighty oak houghs the l'rost lay hoar;
But the warmth and lilit shrined tln happy
face,
Ho softly pillowxl mid down and lace.
The bells slashed out from the ivaling spire.
The ni;;ht. was reddcuod ly many a lir;
The cottage smiled for tho joy at the hall,
As the poor mad answered tho rich man's
call,
And 'ot for a day was le.s forlorn,
Because a little child wa s Ix-i n.
In tho bitter gloom of a winter's morn
A babe was born.
Tho snow piled high in tho narrow street,
Trodden and stained by hurrying feet;
On the hearth the embers lay cold and deud,
And the woman who crouched on tho tamp
fctraw ld
Muttered a curse, as thu drunken sport.
Swelled up to her lair from tho crowded
court,
Riot without and squalior within,
To welcome a wuif to a world cf sin,
Aud a pitiful lifo was the moro forlorn,
Because a little child was hau
la a smiling home amid suu and ilowcrs,
A child grew up.
Calm, and beauty, ami culture, imd wealth,
To give power to" life and grace to health ;
fieutle influence, thought and care,
To train the darling of love and prayer.
The stately heirlooms of place and blood,
To crown th ilower of maidenhood,
With childhood's fiearly innocence kept,
On tho folded leaves whore tho simuihiue t.k-pt.
So sweetly and richly foaaie.l the cup
Life held, where the happy girl grow up.
Where "licmo"' was a vague aud empty word
A child grew up;
Whero oath and blow wore the only law,
And ugly misery nil she saw;
Where want and sin drew hand in hand.
Round the haunts that disgrace cur Clu-i.-itian
land ;
A loveless, hone-loss, joylo-s lifo
Of crime, and wrcteliediics?, f lrugglo find
strife!
Never a glimpse of tho swet spring skies
To soften the Hash in tho wild young eyes;
No drop of peace in th nois-ried cup
Life held where the reckless girl grew up.
On a summer eve as the slow sun set 1
A woman died.
At the close of a lo:i and tranquil life,
Honored and guarded, mother an 1 wife.
With gentle hands whso work was dono,
And gentle head whose cro vn was won,
With children's children at her knee, j
And friends who watched hr reverently;
Knowing her memory would remain,
Treasured by grief, that scarce was pain,
With her heart's dearest at her side, I
Blessing and blessed, tho woaian died.
On a summer's eve as the slow sun sst
A woman died.
She had fought th3 failing fight sr long!
But time was cruel, s;i i hard, a:i 1 strong.
Without a faith, without a prayer,
With none to aid, and none to care;
With not a trace uwu the pac j.
From desperate youth to loathsome ago,
But sin and sorrow, wrong and chance,
And bitter blank of ignorance;
With not a hand to help or save,
With not a hope beyond the grave,
Tossed in the black stream's rushing tide,
Cnmourned, unmixed, the woman died
And we are all a'dn, nui3 the kindly creed!
Ah, tho riddlu of life is hard to road.
A Lesson in (xood 21 r.nners.
Amos Kaeg in San Francisco Chronicle.
Hanover has the reputation among foreign
ers of being the most desirable place at which
to initiate their children into the mysteries of
the teutonic tongue. And tha natural resur.
is that tho town is pretty well filled with
foreigners especially English and Ameri
cans. So that one hears a good deal of his
mother tongue as he strolls about tho streets,
and has to keep a pretty close watch of his
own, if he does not wish to get himself dis
liked by making remarks about the personal
appearances of such people as he may meet.
And it is strange how careless one becomes in
this regard after he has been in a strange
country awhile. At first he docs not realize
that his speech will not be understood ar 1 he
is s careful as he would be at home. But
after awhilo he begins to got bold, and it is
not very long before he laughs and jokes and
carrMB on, and pa-sscs remarks about his
neighbors in the most abandoned and hard
ened way. None of us have yet been caught
in any disagreeable manner.
But we received a warning last night which
I hope will not soon desert us. Wa had been
to a concert in the Palm garden, and coming
out, found ourselves In the mi 1st. oC a daas9
and not very gentle crowd. Just in front of
as was a silver-haired old lady, who was be
ing jostled in a most cruel way. Black saw
the old lady's uncomfortable position, and he
said, loudly: "Say, Kaeg, look at that old
lady. It's a shame the way she is being shoved
around. You get on ono side; Chicago, you
get In behind her; I'll look out for the other
side, and we'll see if we can't keep these peo
ple from walking all over her." So we took
our places and escorted the old lady safely to
the door, giving her a safe and comfortable
passage. And when we reached the sidewalk
the old lady turned on us aud said in the
kindest, gentlest to'ss, and in b3tter English
than I can speak: "I am ever so much obliged
to you, gentlemen. You were very kind, in
deed." Black was, for once, without a word
to say. He stammered and stuttered, raised
his hat and stood like a statue until the old
lady disappeared in the .darkness. Then he
slowly turned away, drew a long sigh of re
lief, and anxiously inquired: "Thunder! Say,
did I say anything out of tho way?"
The lfeceased Wife's Sister.
New York Letter.
I cannot understand why Englishmen
should be so mad at their deceased wife's sis
ters. Ain't there plenty of women out of the
family for them to marry? To be sure, we
do it in America ; but I don't see that we have
made much by it. The governor of Michi
gan thinks that aunts make the best step
mothers; perhaps they do, but I don't see
why they : cant take just as much care ot
their sister's children without marrying their
sister's husband. I know a man, a post
master in a New Jersey town, who went
through a family like an epidemic. Ho mar
ried one sister and she died, then he married
the other. He had four wives out of "that
family, and now he is a quadruple widower,
and is perfectly miserable because be has ex
hausted the stock.
