Pratt, daughter of S. B. Pratt, editor of
the American, was visiting the Xorth
Atlantic squadron, stationed in Boston
harbor, on Friday of last week, as the
guest of Chief Engineer Winslow of the
Dolphin. She had been shown over the
different vessels, and was examining
line of the big eight-inch guns of the
Atlanta's armament when she express
ed the wish that she might fire it off.
"Would you do it indeed?" asked the
Engineer 'Winslow and being assued
that she would only be too delighted,
he hurriedly whispered an order to a
thinner, and in a trice a 100-pound
blank cartridge had been inserted into
the gun. The officer did not believe
that his fair guest would dare to carry
put her desire, but the cord was placed
in her hand, and all waited breathlessly
lor the result. They did not have to
wait long, however, for, grasping the
cord firmly, Miss Pratt gave it a sud

Eiphthcria Among Cuts.
Lovers of cats are requested (in a po-
llite way) by hygienic authorities to keep
,a strict lookout, in the case of their pets,
Ifor symptoms of a feline disease which
lis believed to possess a greater likeness
to human diphtheria than is quite
agreeable to 'onsider or dwell upon.
The human ailment and the cat trouble
have occured coincidently or subse
jquently, sometimes the diphtheria pre
jcedingthe feline disease and vice versa.
iThe subject is at present under investi
gation by Dr. Clein, working in tbe in
iterest of the London government board,
land all its points have not, of course,
been yet satisfactorily determined.
I Enough, however, has been proved to
1 teach ns that on the first appearance of
I sickness in cats they should be careful
ly watchad and isolated from contact
with their households. Children especi
ally are given to fondle and nurse cats,
and In their case the warning just given
applies with special force. We oftn
think we are not so careful as we should
be in the matter of the health of our
domestic animals, and the latest Infor
mation about the cat may serve to

General Diaz has nearly completed j (ages of the electric light.
the first year of his third Presidential
term, lie was lirst chosen, for four
years, in 1S7!. 'J he Constitution of
Mexico did not then allow a President
to be re-elected, and in 1SS0 (.eneral

zales. In ISSi Diaz was chosen again.
and was re-elected for four years
1SSS, the constitution having
amended expressly to permit his re
election.
It is safe to say that the Mexican
Republic has never so prospered and so
rapidly advanced as it has during Gen
eral Diaz's two terms. Xot only has
the country ceased to be torn and dis
tracted by civil wars or local uprisings,
and to be the prey of rival and unscru
pulous military aspirants for power,
but it has taken long strides forward in
material well-being, and has become,
with almost uniform steps, a richer and
stronger country in the development ot
its natural and industrial resources.
The revenues of the Republic have
more than doubled in 1 wenty years. In
1870 they were sixteen million dollars;
in 1S87 they were thirty-two million
dollars; and the estimated revenues for
188S-9 were nearly thirty-eight million
dollars. k
It is true that the expenditures have
grown large more rapidly than the
revenues, so that there has been, for
several years, a not large deficit. But
the main reason of this has been that
the State has expended large sums on
railways and other extensive public
works; so that while the national treas
ury has suffered a little, the country
has been greatly benefited, and its re
sources have been greatly increased.
Both the imports and the exports
have steadily gained in the past few
years. From 185 to 1888, the imports
of Mexico increased from thirty-four
million dollars to over forty-three mil
lion dollars; while in the same period
the exports increased from forty-six
million seven hundred thousand dollars
in round numbers, to nearly forty-nine
million dollars.
Nearly three-fourths of the exports
from Mexico were of the precious met
als, the industry in which was material
ly benefited by the building of railways
and roads.
The increased facilities of railway
communication mav be judged from
the fact that while, in 1879, only three
hundred and seventy-two miles of rail
way were in operation throughout the
Republic, there are now more than five
thousand miles,
Mexico has larger business dealings
with the United States than with all
other nations put together; and that its
commercial relations with us have
grown constantly more important may
be seen by the fact that the Mexican
exports to the United States in 1885
were valued at about twenty-five and
(tie-half million dollars, and in 1838, at
thirty-one million dollars.
The mining interests of Mexico are
large, and are yearly becoming more
valuable. But its agricultural pros
perity is also notable. Its farms and
forests are sources of large and growing
revenues. Its productions of coffee,
sugar, corn, wheat, tobacco, cocoa, and
other plantation products approach in
value two hundred million dollars year
ly. It has, besides, vast cattle ranches.
in all valued, five years ago, at over five
hundred million dollars.
A country so abundantly and various
ly blessed with natures gifts only
needed internal peace and a good and
wise government, to acquire strength
and wealth, and Mexico has made great
progress as the result of such a peace
and such a government during the past
live years. x outlfs Companion.

Stage Statistics.
A. P. Dunlop in Stage News says
that last year uo less than 480 theatrical
companies went on the road from Xew
York, and that probably 200 more
started from Chicago and St Louis.
He estimates the number of people who
earn their bread in America by theatri
cal performances at 60,000, and says
that there are 4,000 theatres and halls
in the United States where dramatic
performances of one kind or another
are given. The total receipts for a
forty-two weeks' theatrical season in
the United States amounts to over
thirty millions of dollars.

Irish Wit.
"The Irish are the most witty of all
people," writes Edmund Kirke in the
Xorth American lleview, and he tells
two anecdotes to Illustrate the quick
ness at repartee which characterizes
even the unlettered among them. ''Go
to your captain, and tell him you are
the laziest rascal in the regiment, said
a field officer to an Irish private.
"Please, yer honor,'' replied Pat, "wud

AVhen James Harper was Mayor of
Xew York, he required that applicants
for position on the police force should
be able to read and write. Patrick
Murphy, who could neither read nor
write, was anxious to be on the"perlisse"
and set himself to work accordingly.
When he could scrawl his own name
in "course hand," he presented himself
before the mayor, accompanied by sev
eral friends. v
On marking his application, he was
told to write Patrick Murphy in a blauk
book. He wrote it, much to the sur
prise of his friends.
"Ilowly Moses!" exclaimed one.
"Mike, d'ye mind that? Pat's a writ
ing! He's got a pen in his fist!"
"That will do," said Mayor Harper.
Til make inquiry about yon. Come
again in a fortnight, and I'll see what
can be done for you."
"Please yer honor," said one of Pat's
amazed friends, "ask him to write some
body else's name."
"That is well thought of," answered
Mr. Harper. "Patrick write my name
"Me write yer honor's name!" ex
claimed Pat, jumping out of the trap
before it could spring. "Me commit

The mayor of course, saw through
the ruse, but he loved a joke, and Pat

exhibited himself to his admiring
friends in the uniform of a policeman.

The man at the window did tint wait

moved from his mind.
A companion, as ragged and vicious
looking as himself, stood waiting for
him some distance down the street.
"What kept you so long?" he grow led.
"Any hick ?"
"1 should say so," was the response.
"You didn't get any money, did
you ?"
".No, but we'll soon have plenty if we
manage things right."
And lie proceeded to confide what he
had overheard, whereat the other
worthy's eyes glistened.
"Well, that is luck, and no mistake,"
he said. "If he's only a boy it will be
illinu off a Lis. There he
comes now."
At that moment Chin Ferris was
closing Mr. Stock well's gate.
lie walked down the street in tho di
rection of the two men, giving them no
more than a casual glance as he passed
by, for tramps were no rarity in Leb
anon. "Those fellows are pretty rough look
ing customers," he thought. "It's a
wonder the constable hasn't got tlieni."
It was 3 o'clock then, and he went to
the stable in the rear of the shop and
han.es ed the horse to a light vehicle.
The drive to Milldale was a pleasant
one, and Chip enjoyed the prospect of
it exceedingly.
About a mile from town, resting un
der a leafy tree by the roadside, were
the two tramps he had seen some time
before.
"Hello!" he said to himself. "There
are those fellows again. I wonder
what they're up to now."
lie passed by in a cloud of dust, and,
looking back, saw that an animated
conversation had suddenly sprung up
between the two.
Somehow Chip got it into his head
that they were talking atwut him.
"They can't know about the money,
of course," he said uneasily. "Such
men look evil enough to do anything."
Vt hen he readied .Milldale he was
disappointed to learn that Mr. Hartley
had gone into the countjy to look at a
colt that he thought of purchasing.
The money was looked up in the
safe and he had the key with him, so
that there was nothing for Chip to do
but to wait for his return, which he did
with a good deal of Impatience.
It was nearly 0 o'clock and the sun
was far down In the -vest when Mr.
Hanley came back, and Chip lost no
time in transacting with him the busi-!
ness on which he had come.
"Better stay with me to supper.
Chip," said Mr. Hanley. "There'll be a
moon at 8 to light you back."
"Xo, thank you," said Chip. "I don't
want to be out late with this money.
I'll just take some bread and cheese
with me."
He bade Mr. Hanley good by, and,
giving his horse the reins, was soon
going at a smart pace through Milldale
until the last of the straggling houses
at its outskirts was left far behind.
The sun sank behind the distant
blue hills and twilight came on.
"It won't be long now before it's
dark," said Chip. "I hope I won't meet
those tramps again. They'd stop me
in a minute If tbey thought I had so
much money about me.
As the light faded he grew more
nervous, and, with an idea in his bead,
he reined in the horse to carrr it out!
