'TTitk fear and tremblimr. and afeeart
i
sarcaarged with , anxiety lest somebody
BhfltiM see" him, a reporter nade his way
into acahdy 'factory the other day. He
'took a slim legged dude along with him to
swear to an alibi in case of need.
A'door opened and shut, and the visitors
found themselves in a room which at first
sight might have been taken for a machine
shoo. "Ponderous rwheek revolved noise
lessly, and upon, every side great engines
stretched and drew back their long steel
arms, engaged upon some unknown but
titanic talk. The odor of chocolate was
well nigh overpowering. The reporter
stepped forward to an enormous bowl of
" polished copper and gaml into its depths. A
'strange sight greeted hi-, eyes. Within the
interior of this great copper vessel revolved
-two large mill stones, while a steel rake like
implement, constantly hi motion, directed
xa. river of rich brown chocolate so that it(
flowed steadily under the wheels. It was
extraordinary how this mighty torrent
twisted in and out a great writhing boa
constrictor struggling to escape.
""That .is tfie grinder," .remarked the
uperintej"dont. . "That stuff Jn there js
simply the crushed cocoa bean and sugar.
It looks semi-liquid, of course, but that is
because of the essential oil of the bean."
Near the grinder stood a machine some
- thing like a great co-fifes mill. The cocoa
beans in their entirety were turned into a
hopper, at the top and issued in the "form of
a liquid into a largo vat beneath.
Chocolate making is rather a complicated
.process. The beats are first placed in a
separator, which dries and assorts them.
"Next thej- are roasted. Machine No. 3
cracks them, cleans them, throws out the
shells a id the germ, and preserves the ker-
nel. .After this the kernels are ground with
.sugar; the "half made chocolate in heated in
an oven, then passed through three finishing
machines, and finally comes into the hands
of pfetty young girls, who wrap it in silver
foil and box it.
In a small room well lighted and venti
lated and scrupulously clean as, indeed, was
the entire factory five men were at work.
The- looked like a band of Brazilian plant
ers who had "been lifted up bodily and set
down in the middle -of a Canadian snow
stormr'They were clothed from head to foot
in' spotless cottou cotton coats, cotton
aprons, cotton trousers, cotton blouses and
cotton caps. A white powder drifting
through the apartment liad settled on their
mustaches and faces, to say nothing of their
clothing. This powder was corn starch.
Over a huge 'copper caldron, heated beneath
by a coil of sinuous steam pipes leaned
one of these queer white figures. In his
handhc.held a gigantic spoon, and every
now and then he stirred the contents of the
great vessel vigorously.
The reporter peered over the brink and saw
a mass of miow white substance about the
consistency of buttermilk.
"Try some:-" queried the superintend
ent, as he thrusts a ladle into the vat.
It was marshmallow, but such marsh
mallow! It took two ladlefuls to quiet the
dude, and even then he looked longingly at i
the copper as the party turned away.
Through a narrow passag way past a cu
rious machine which husked ulmonds and
blanched them at the Yahj of 10,000 a min
ute, und through a swinging door into fairy
land. At four long tables sat forty girls,
and every one of the forty was young and
pretty, an J every one of them wore a
natty little apron and a bewitching little
white mull cap. It fairly took the dude's
breath awav. Each cirl was armed with a
! Ivr.
4&fv. plated spoon with a lttog handle, and in
'-front of each stood a tiny gas stove sur
mounted by a tiny copper kettle. The ket
tles shone brightly and so did the faces of
the girls as they glanced up from their work. '
Each little can was about half full of colored
paste. One girl had green paste, colored
with pistachio nits; the next, paste of a
violet hue; and besides, there were crushed
straw berry paste, seal brown paste, sky
blue paste, ydlow paste, and paste of every
other imaginable shade. The walls of this
grotto of the sirens were literally composed
of candy. Tier after tie-of shelves were
there, heaped as high as one could reach
with tin slabs containing rows of parti
colored IkuIkis.
Another room, more pretty girls, more
bonbons. Again another room containing
three enormous vats, copper, as usual.
Into each vat protruded an air pipe like the
oae seen in the niarshiuaUow room. These
cauldrons, however, were supported on au
incline of "forty-five degrees, and so ar
ranged that they revolved at great speed.
Within each, hopping about literally like
peas on a griddle, were 12. pounds of
sugared almonds. Think of it!
Next the cream room. Here stood huge
vessels tilled with paste of all flavors. rasp
berry, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, pis
tachio, goodness knows what else. These
pastes serve for the various sorts of fine
confectionary. There were also buckets of
"crystal," a compound of sugar used for
glazing. In this room men were shoveling
'cream," i.e., sugar, water and flavoring,
t with wooden trowels as recklessly as if it
. wasn't good to eat and as if young men
" were not alive to jay $1 a pound for it.
Another large room, and this time fifty
girls, positive!- prettier, if that were possi
ble, than the tut two galaxies. Each girl
, rrasarinedwithaquegr little two-pronged
.CJtojrk, aaajjefore each, was a kettle of choco-
"iip ioEzVMalpsousod. them in the
choco1csflHRHJBsbeni about in it,
fished, them put again,. and placed them. on
long tin slabs' to" dry. There were many
more interesting .sights in the candy factory.
0 the packing department more girls, pretty
of course, wrapped the bonbons in paper
and the chocolates in foil, and stowed them
away in neat boxes. Then there was a
storekeeper's room, which smelled like a
. grocer's shop with all the red herrings and
soap and other ill smelling things relegated
to the front sidewalk. In capacious cellars
beneath the building were stored away in
bins 12,000 bottles of fruit extracts, and
these only represented the supply for one
year. Then, too, there were the engine
aponi and the carpenter's shop, and the
chocolate storing rooms, and large marble
slabs for cooling taffy, and 101 useful and
interesting appliances. New York Star.
PAINTING TREASURY NOTES.
Why tbe Unite! State Treainry OSclals
Object A Late Decision.
The pastime of painting United States
treasury notts has lately received a setback.
A pointed hint has gone out from the treas
ury department that if ieions of artistic
taste want to test their skill in this liue they
must not exhibit their wor in public This
is the meaning of a decision by Solicitor He
Cue, the full effect of which was not made
plain iu tbe brief abstract, given out.. The
decision was based on a New York case,
where a facsimile of a tf-TTtet; painted on,
' wood was exhibited iu a well known saloon.
A secret service agent suggested that the
painting was tqp suggestive of counterfeit

should be removed. Chief Brooks took
substantially the same view.
The owner of th? picture and the artist
who painted it made affidavits that no vio
lation of the law was intended, The solici
tor of the treasuryaccepted this as a state'
ment of the facts," but declared he could not
sanction any encroachment upon the statute

securities. Sec. o,430, among other things,
provides that "ever' person who prints,

Kmbarraulng Divination by Palmistry.
The present rage for palmistry recalls an
incident which occurred half a dozen years
since at Bar Harbor. There were staying
at one of the hotels a pretty young widow
from Baltimore who was versed in the se
crets of chiromancy, and a young Kentuck
ian who was par excellence the lion of the
season. The widow, for some reason or j
other, had taken a whimsical dislike to the I
popular southerner and hardly acknowl-
edged an acquaintance with him; yet ho
one day ventured to ask Jier to read his '
hand, as she had already' deciphered the
palms of half the pciple in the house. The
lady at first demurred, but at length think- ,
ing, as sho afterward explained, that it was
simpler to do as she was asked than to con
test the point, she requested the gentleman
to show her his hand. Ho did so, and with
an involuntary start of surprise, and a i
frankness which was evidently genuine, she
"Why, it is the hand of a thief!"
As tlw interview took pUce upon the
piazza in the presence of a group of board
ers, the situation of the young man was a
sufficiently awkward one, but he did not
flinch. A the lady checked herself in evi
dent confusion, he responded with the most
'perfect tact and self control:
"Ah! Tliauk you. That suggests to me
a means of making my way in the world that
had never occurred to me; and since the
war we southerners have to be on the look
out for opportunities."
HLs ready wit saved the situation, and he
was more iopular tlian ever; but the inter
est of the tale is tliat two or three days
after he was discovered stealing the dia
monds of a wealthy dowager, and although
the matter was hushed up as much as possi
ble for the sake of the hotel and the people
who had introduced the Keutuckian, it
somehow leaked out that the rogue was an
old offender and a thief long known to the
police of New York and Philadelphia. Bos

Uncolu as a "Military Hero."
He never took hU campaigning seriously.
The politicians' habit of glorifying the petty
incidents of a candidate's life always seemed
absurd to him, and in his speech, made in
1848, ridiculing the effort on the part of
Gen. Cass' friends to draw some political
advantage from that gentleman's respectful
"jut obscure services on the frontier in the
war with Great Britain, he estopped any fu
ture eulogist from painting his own mili
tary achievements iu too lively colors. "Do
you know, Mr. Speaker," he said, "I am a
military hero? In the dayr. of the Black
Hawk war 1 fought, bled and came away.
I was not at Millman s defeat, but 1 was
about as near it as Gen. Ca.-s was to Hull's
surrender, and like him. I saw the place
very soon afterward. It Ls quite certain I
did not break my sword, for I had none to
break, but I lient my musket pretty badly
on one occasion. If Gen. Cass went iu ad
vance of me picking whortleberries, I
guess Isurpassced him in charges on .the
wild onions. If he saw- any live fighting
Indians it was more than I did, but I had a
good many bloody struggles with the mos
quitoes; and although I never fainted froni
loss of blood, I can trnly say 1 was often
very hungry. Mr. Sjieaker, if ever I should
conclude to doff whatever our Democratic
friends may suppose there is of black cock
ade Federalism about me, and thereupon
they shall take me up as their candidate for
the presidency, 1 protest that they shall not
mala? fun of me, as they have of Gen. Cass,
by attempting to write me into a military
hero." Nicolay and Hay in The Century.
In h 1'arin Ocmeterj.
As I came away the crowd was increas
ing. At the gates was a bustling horde of
flower venders, makers of funeral wreaths,
howling cabmen, men who were trying to
sell plans of the cemetery, with biographi
cal sketches of the prominent people buried
there. Seated on the ground was a little
fellow in tears. He was manifestly no beg
gar and no trader. Several paused to
inquire what the matter might be. He ex
plained that his father had struck him and
taken from him the pennies he liad been
saving 'to buy a bouquet to lay on his
mother's grave. The father had gone to
a wine shop with a couple of companions.
The boy sobbed:
"She died a year ago. and she liad ex
plained to me how I was to bring violets to
her grave on the year from her death."
Instinctively every man's hand sought
his pocket; there was a voluntary tax
levy, and a l.-ouquet was purchased and
given to the little fellow. He dried his
tears, ran quickly to a poor, bare grave, but
just as he was about to lay his flowers down
he'heal&tedr,Te1Ime;pl(?nKe7,-he said-to'a-
woman who stood near, "do youtmnkI
shall be telling a lie? I am going to give
a bouquet to mamma. I am going to tell
her that I have bought it with my savings.
There is no need that she should know that
papa has taken them from me, you under
stand: it would make me feel so sorry,"
and thereupon, realizing that this was genu
ine, we all beganrto'efy like women."

OF THE PUBLIC.
The Asphalt jDrive aad the Saaaatwe
Feet Walk The Entrance aad Yes
tibale Furniture aad Decorations Ob
tbe Second Floor Cabinet Room.
The White House is truly beautiful, aad
it should be, for it has cost since the begfa
ning nearly $2,000,000. Amid all its mag
nificence, however, there are many bits of
the commonplace, and in that part of it
which i daily viewed by the public eye, it
is in places actually shabby. In this letter
I want to describe the business part of the
White House as it strikes ths average --aller.
It is a great white building of two stories
and a basement with a porte cochere in its
front and an iron railing tipped with brass
gilding at the side. It has'a big lawn in
front of it and there is a fountain spouting
up a sprav in the center of this. The front
door is reached by a crecsent of asphalt
drive?, in the top of which, lies this porte
cochere. This asphalt is cracked in places
and it gives back all the rays of the sun dur
ing the heated summer months. Along its
si le runs a foot walk as wide as ,an ordin
"arv pavement, and "the "material of this is
plain sandstone in blocks about two feet
square. ' c - -' -r -"
The landing under the porte cochere is of
the same ordinary sandstone, and as you go
up to it you can look 'over the iron railing
and see the president's servant"ironing his
shirts and othr unmentionable family gar
ments in the laundry of the liasemeut. Rais
::.g your eyes, you note that Hollaud shades
of a cream color cover the windows of the
east room, and walking up the sandstone
stejs you reach the front. door, and here
note th it its step is also of sandstone, a
lartof which"' is painted brown. In front
of this door lies a big straw colored mat. of
cocoa, laid there for you to wipe your feet
uikju before entering.
The front doors of the White House are
of walnut. They are double doors, "and
into each is set an oval piece of plate glass
with iianels of mosaic glass about it.
Through this oval glass the doorkeepers can
see who w uh to enter, and if they are objec
tionable, can refuse to open the door. In
one of them on the inside a card hangs.
This card is made of tin, and upon it in
black letters are painted the words:
'Open 10 a. m., closed 2 p. in."
It was after 2 o'clock when I called and
the house was closed to visitors. The door
bell of the White House Is at the right of
the entrance. It is of bronze and rather
pretty. The door-knob was especially de
signed for this doogyit is as big around as
a base ball, anjWWias an American eagle
cut into its brakrface.
Entering the White House through these
big front doors you first stand in a great
vest ibule or hall. This is a conglomeration
of the grand and the cheap. The floor is of
tiled mosaic, and probably cost several dol
lars a square foot. The wall before you was
made by Tiffany. It shuts you off from the
grand corridor where the guests promen
ade at the state receptions, and in which
the portraits of all the presidents hang. It
is a sult-ndid piece of glass mosaic which
shines like so many jewels in the evening.
The chandelier in the center of this vesti
bule is a beauty and the walls and the ceil
ings are frescoed. Thus far the room is
lieautiful. But look around you. Two
cheap rough cocoa door mats lie upon the
mosaic floor. The woodwork of the vesti
bule has been grained to represent black
waliiut, and varnished, and this varnish is
cracked like au old picture. Beside the
door entering the hall, which leads to the
second story, there is a walnut umbrella
stand which would be dear at $3, and in the
hall beyond at the foot of the stairs, lies a
Smyrna rug which long ago saw its best
days.
TIiLs hall, and indeed tbe stairs which lead
to the president's offices as well, are car
peted with au old piece of brusssts, which
was good once, but which would not now
bring fifty cents at auction. Against the
wall sit a couple of $3 wicker chairs, and
over the desk at the foot of the stairs bangs
a calendar bearing at its top the advertise
ment of a railroad. This carpet has been
patched to fit It has been sewed and
resewed, and at the edges of the breadths
the nap is well worn away. A strip of the
same carpet, with a six-inch border sewed
to each side of it, covers the stairs and
this stair carpet Is fastened by silver headei
nails at each step.
ON THE NEXT FLOOR.
Ascend the stairs. Each step is worn
threadbare by the tread of thousands of
office seekers, and at the top of the landing
a white path of the well-worn brussels
marks the road to the president's reception
room. Stop here a moment and look be
fore you. There is a window looking out
upon Lafayette park. This is ornamented
with a lambrequin of green silk which was
fine once, but which Is now faded, stained
threadbare, and shabby. It looks as though
it might have beeu bought at the auction of
a second class boarding house. A Holland
shade within it hides its shabbiness from
the street.
Now walk along the path of the office
seeker. Go through those wide t'oors of
walnut which are fastened back at the bot
tom by live cent iron hooks and you stand in
the presence of CoL Loeffler, the man who
receives the cards of visitors and takes them
in to the president. There are no seats here
fo speak of. Loeffler sits on a walnut
swivel chair before a flat walnut desk, and
the only furniture about him consists of
two high-backed chairs, painted red, which
look as though they were intended for a
lawn or front porch.
Col. Lainont has'a v"ry fair room, and it
is moderately furnished. There is a book-,
case at one side, and at different parts of
the room two revolving bookcases made of
walnut which probably cost $16 apiece.
There are china spittoons in this room and
the furniture is upholstered in red leather.
Lamont has a chair of state big enough for
he fattest king that ever sat upon a throne.
His desk is a big flat walnut one and it is
usually covered with papers, and the colonel
is a very hard worked man. f
The cabinet room and 1hat--of the presi
dent are, of course, better furnished than
those I .have so far described. President
Cleveland warks behind a desk which was a
present from Queen. Victoria, and around
him hang beautiful pictures, and at his
right hand blazes a bright .fire. .At his back
are windows giving magnificent views of the
Potomac and the Virginia bills, and in the
shelves of the bookcases, around the walls is
the White House library. Frank G. Car

- W4ha Partboaoa.
A tumultous noise of bugles, braying
donkeys, and -barking dogs awoke me on
the morning after.my arrival from Corinth.
The troops were already exercising on every
vacant space in, the city. t"A for the don
keys, no doutt they meant to applaud.
This incessant braying of donkeys is a cu

augury were not out of fashion, surely some

Without seeking guidance at the hotel, I
plunged into the warm daylight of tbe
streets, lesigning to find the Acropolis, or
lose myself educationally, if that were pos
sible. For a moment the glare of the white
buildings and white pavements in this
Stadion street was blinding. The sky was
of the deepest blue; there was nothing more
opaque -than a few shreds of diaphanous
cloud to tempertbe heat of the sun. . There
were tram cars in the street and hackney
coaches and produce carts drawn by mules
or asses. Both pavements were thronged
with pedestrians, military and civilian, mer
chants,. Albanians, countrymen, and for
eigners. Newsboys rustled their sheets under
the noses pf the passersby: "Ultimatum
from the powers! More British ships in
Piraeus!" eliciting shrugs of tbe shoulders
from those who were content to oheaxthe
news' philosophically, without paying for it,
and coppers from others. At the corners
sat elderly women, lean and yellow, with
little tables pf confectionery, pens, "ink and

Aad Be Went Away Sorrowful.
A curious story comes from the "city."
Not many days since a man appeared at
the Bank 'of England, perspiring under tbe
weight of a heavy- bag, which he threw
upon the counter and asked to have changed
for gold The bag contained exactly-100
worth of fourpennybitsof the year 1838
all of the 0,000 as bright and unworn as
when freshly issued from the mint. The
owner explained that the coins were a legacy
from his grandmother, who had-just died,
and who, having a passion for fourpenny
pieces, had procured the bagful at tbe bank
half a century ago and boarded them care
fully until the day of her death. The lega
tee took his 100 in gold and departed. Next
morning he reappeared in a very excited
state of mind, and asked for the four
penny bits back: "for," said he, "I
am told that the jewelers' will give a shil
ling apiece for them." He was. politely in
formed that his coins had been dis
tributed," and that it was impossible fo re
turn them now. Thereupon he went away
sorrowful. And now everybody who has a
friend in the bank is gleefully exhibiting
brand new fourpenny bits, which he intends
to have made up. into breastpins and other
trifles of personal adorr-ment. London Let-

Jockcv Archer'a lodgment.
Mr. Easton once said to Archer: "Don't
yon come around Tatlenham Corner some
times with your heart -in your 'month"
Oh. no," replied Archer; i'there is a
good ileal of nonsense talked about that
corner. I'll tell you where tho great danger
iii racing comes. It is gr-tting into a ruck
of horses and' going' down."- t. "
- .Archer then related t-ouie of -his experi
ence. " He said that horses rarely dropped
suddenly on the '.-ourse, although it often
looked to the public that they did so. When
a horse going at a high rate of speed was
about to fall he could feel it at once. The
horse would usually begin to lean oyer a
little, and go, perhaps, forty or fifty .feet
before he fell. A jockey with an experi
enced seat and eye could always tell when
this was going to happen. For himself, he
would take the horse by the' head and pull
him out of the ruck at once, if possible. -Th
horse would then land on his side and
Archer would got off safely. That vas the
reason he had met with so few accident. In
the last 1,200 or so of the nearly 3,000
races he had riddou in, this precautionary
lookout had saved him from receiving a
scratch even. New York Sun.
Oca. Kilpatrick and the Sergeant.
Kilpatrick, when a lieutenant colonel of
cavalry, met with a deserved rebuke for his
profanity. Custer was with him when he
rode up to a sergeant of tbe guard in his
regiment, and swearing at him furiously
ordered him to attend to a certain matter
that had been neglected. The man folded
his arms and stood at bay, looking Kilpat
rick squarely in the eye. "Do you .hear
me, you" said the latter; ''why
don't you do as t tell you!"" "'When I
receive a proper order I shall obey," said
the soldier firmly; "the articles of, war
forbid you to address me in tho language
you have used." Custer "snickered right
out in meeting," aud said in a stage whis
per: "By , he's got you, Kil." Pol.
Kilpatrick saw the point at once and in a
very manly way changed his fronts and
apologized. "Sergeaut," said he, "you are
right, and I apologize; I should notihave,
addressed you as I did." Then he gave. Ins
orders, the man touched his cap respect
fully, and .turned away to fulfill the com
mand, and Kilpatrick rosa many degrees in
the estimation of Lis soldiers. Philadel

3IisIouaries in Africa.
"At table," said Mr. Stanley, "the- ne
groes have adopted spoons and knives. I
introduced some cheap Birmingham knives
made with one rivet. They wouldn't liave
them. They said the iron wasn't good
enough. Now they use knives made with
three rivets. I introduced one dollar
knives, and I liave sold' at least 1,000 in
one day." Mr. Stanley said that, thetnis
sionaries in Africa were doing a great deal
of good. Tho trouble with them liegan
when they tried to do two things at once,
explore and teach. A missionary who at
tempted to explore and get himself into
trouble with tin
lie natives could never teach,

"A citv founded

made in spuiort of whut he said. Mr.
Stanley is known iu Africa as Bula Matari,

of Stanley, but they believe he Is a lieing of

Market for American Prints.
The artistic value of etchings seems to
have hit the American public as hard as it
once did the European. A prominent print
seller avers that the sale of European etch
ings is nearly dead. American prints are
now at the top of the market. This is the
case, he says, on account of the copyright
law. hi the absence of au international
coypyright. the most costly foreign prints
are copied here and the market flooded
with them at half a dollar or $1 apiece,
while the originals cost from $20 to $150.
People object to paying high prices for a
picture any one can buy a copy of for next
to nothing, and so purchase the copyrighted
native work by preference.
The publishers of books report much the
same exjierience. Where, as at prwent, a
dozen cheap editions of a foreign work can
be given out, there is no money iu auy of
them for the publisher. Annual books are
consequently in demand. Alfred Trumble

Wearing Out Stocking.
"Speaking of stockings," said an Albany
dry goods mercliant the other day, "I think
Albany is the greatest stocking market, con
sidering its size, that there Is in the' United
States. It is a fact that walking up and
down hill wears out the heels of tho stock
ings quicker than anything else. I have
known ladies to buy noless than two dozen
pairs of stockings during a single year from
my store, and as for their children, they
seem to wear out a pair every.week. Walk

thrusts the toes through the front. Some

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Even the Sound is of Coimeiiiicfc Some
Names l'atal to Success.
Life with a good number is a struggle at
the lest, and tho success that attends us i-,
influenced more than people soiiietinus think
by the name we Lear, liven tho sound of a
name is of consequence. "Hur.'di names,' '
says Isaac Disraeli, "will liave, in spite of
all our philosophy, a painful and ludicrous
effect on our ear ami our association. It is
vexations that the softness of delicious vowel
or the ruggedness of inexorable consonant
should at all tie connected with a man's hap
piness or even have an influence on his fort
une." Some names, indeed, are almost fatal to
success; they simply suggest jokes and en
courage familiarity. A man has no hesita
tion iu proving "by thumps u-ion your lack
how he esteemsyour merit" if youure culled
Tw-igger, or Tapp, or Trundle, or Liltleboy,
but ho would hardly venture on it were you
a moie aristocratic Montgomery, or a Gas-coigiii-.
For u man to inherit au ubsurd or
insignificant name is ti have a stoiio tied
round his v.eck in childhood to keep all hf
life in tlio depths of olcurity. It would be
dillk-iilt to find a famous character in litera
tuiv, urt or anything clso with u surname at
least uppinachiug in character to say, Tooth
aches, or Bang, or Baby. Who could fancy
u Squib or a (ialh'e vi-.iu.-d at any lime by
the inspirations of gviiius John Wilkc;: t..,
prossotl this idea once in touversatiou with
Dr. Johnson. They were sjeakiiig of
Elkeuah Settle, the last of the city oets.
"There is something in names, " said Wilkes,
"which one cannot help feeling. Now
Elkeuah Settle sounds queer; who can ex
pect much from that name!' We should have
no hesitation to give it for John Dfen iu
preference to Elkeuah Settle from the names
only, without knowing their different
merits."
Considerations such as these, not to speak
of testamentary injunctions and conditions
attached to deeds of entail, have induced
people from time to time to change their
names. The world being as it is, and man's '
instinct leading him to fasten on mid worry
the ridiculous, it is often a sensible proceed
ing. Cut hi c rt is made to take the place of
Cuddy; MeAlpine of Halfpenny; Belcomo
of Bullock; De Winton of Wilkins, and

Failure nf the 31erv Kallway.
The great railroad that was to form the
main line of the Russian invasion of India is
repoitcd to be a gigantic failure, lioth in a
military and financial point of view. This
railroad that is to connect the Caspian 'with
the Merv aud thence proceeding through
Bokhara to the confines of Aghanlstan lias
thus far been constructed under military
.supervision, and it Is said enormous sums
have been ingulfed in the granting of fraudu
lent contracts both for material and construc
tion. These facts are studiously ignore! by
the Russian press, but according to a letter
written by Gen. Tchernieff to The Novoe
Vreynia the new roail of communication, be
tween Russia and her distant Asiatic jiosses
sioiis is a total failure. The railroad, itnow
appears, is built over a desert of shifting
sand, the desert having in fact a movable
and moving surface with which no engineer
ing can contend. On the first section of the
road the sand has liecn coiisoliduteil by
watering it with a solution of clay, but this
Is iniossibl- near Merv, wlure there is
neither clay nor water to be found.
The only way of-preserving the line would
be to cover it with sheds like the snow sheds
on the American Pacific railway, but this is
impossible in a country where there is neither
wood, stone, lime nor water. As a military
line to assist in a Russian attack on India it
would be useless, or it would take three
years to convey over it a complete force of
200,000 men with their impedimenta, and as
it runs along tbe frontier of Persia it would
have to be guarded by so many men that
the line itself would bo well occupied in sup
plying water to the invading forces. The
British are also finding almost insurmount
able difficulties in endeavoring to connect
Cabul with the Indian system of railroads,
the projected line in many places being cut
in the sheer inclino of the precipices forming
the passes, while the roadbeds in the valleys
are liable to resistless inundations in the
spring months. Taken altogether, the attack
and defense of British India on the land side
form the most costly military problems of
the century. San Francisco Chronicle.
One of the l'riit-1 K vents.
-Thomas -W: Knox? of-, the New York
Herald, did not accompany the movements
against Forts Henry and Donelsou. He ac
companied Gen. Curtis iu his chase after
Price from Springfield, Mo., into Arkansas,
where in due season, after much marching,
skirmishing, countermarching, maneuver
ing, advancing anil retreating, there oc
curred the bloody, long contested und de
cisive battle of Pea Ridge. There were but
two correspondents with tho Federal army
Knox and Fayal, of The St. Louis Democrat.
These two followed the Federal columns for
several weeks; they underwent extraordinary
hardships, they witnessed the final battle and
then started for St. Louis, writing their let
ters as they traveled. They had to travel
on horseback for a distance of nearly or
quite 200 miles befor reaching the railway
at Rolla. The two correspondents, knowing
that they were the only newspaper represen
tatives iu the field, were reasonably happy.
Being from widely separated towns, there
was no rivalry between them, and they
strengthened each other's letters by a free
interchange of facts, so that their accounts
were probably as near perfect as a product
pf the kind could be.
Filled with satisfaction at the certainty of
liaving the only accounts and of being, the
first to give the record of the march aud'bat
tles to the public, they reached St. Louis,
and found a New York Tribune that had ar
rived the same morning and which contained
a full page account of the battle of Pea
Ridge! Fancy the situation of these "two
men who liad traveled hundreds of mles, had
suffered all jiossible liardships, had witnessed
the battle, aud whq knew that no pther cor
respondent had been on the ground! It was
the most cruel event of the war, so far as it
related to the experiences of the correspond
ents. "Polinto" in Chicago Times. ,
'Complexions of Cincinnati Women.
Cincinnati women have perfect complex

brilliant complexions in 'sucli a city. The

A "Clean Newspaper.'
Occasionally, when we discover a journal
that lias too much self respect; to cater to the
vicious tastes of readers, we are almost sure
to find another proof of the axiom that "the
good die young." That a paper can be too
clean I have no doubt now, though there,
was atime when I thought differently. In
the innocence of youth I once edited rf paper,
the columns of 'which were never lKssniirched
by au item, that, would displeaso the most
prudish and fastidious taste. liven now,
with more yeara of ' experience, I will not
admit that it was a dryl paper, fori know
that it was extensively reatL widely quoted
and often praised- Jt had a good circulation
among tho. lx'st people, but to our requests
for udvertisenieuts tho local merchants said:
