THE STORY NOT CREDITED IN WASHINGTON. The story coming from New York about an alleged rupture between the administration and Mr. Tilden Is much talked about tn the city to-day. There is no one here who can speak authoritatively on the subject, and the story Is not generally believed. The opinion is expressed in official circles that, however dis pleased Mr. Tilden might be with the New York appointments, he would not make war upon the administration, and certainly would not snub {secretary Manning. There Is some doubt about Tilden's having named anyoody for 4he collectorsnip and surveyorshlp of New York, but if be is disap pointed in the appointments made, there are many more important things that would tend to bring nim close to the administration. The general policy of retrenchment and reform is in accordance with his views, and the posi tion of the Treasury upou financial questions is believed to be in bis line. A gentleman wbo has always been clo>e to Mr. Tilden, but refuses to be quoted by name, discredits the story, and says that he would never treat Mr. Manning in the manner he is alleged to have, even if he is not pieased with the President. A^sWtant Secretary Fairchild, Judge McCue and other New York officials, bave never beard anything to suggest bad blood between the Greystone sage and the administration.

The board is engaged in making an official tour, and the session here has been taken up in considering matters pertaining to the order in this city.

Col. Wilson and the Trees. HI DOES NOT WISH THEM SACRIFICED TO THE WIRES. The Commissioners have received the follow* lng from Col. John M. Wilson, tJ. S. A., in charge of public nuildiugs and grounds, under dat? of August 20,1885: "Gentlemen: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of year letter of the 19th instant, informing me that the Com missioners have uniformly held, 'that the trees should not be sacrificed to the overhead electric wires,' and that the parking commission had been instructed to trim the trees in such a man ner as to obviate Interference with the wires to the greatest extent possible without doing se rious injury to the trees. While thanking the Commissioners for this order, I regret thai with out stating just what my request was the contents of their Tetter to me was published before I re ceived it, thereby permitting the unjust Impli cation that It was my desire 'to sacrifice the trees,' or to do them serious injury. In my let ter of the 7th Instant, after explaining that I had been assigned to the charge of the govern ment telegraph lines in this city, I said, 'I re spectfully request authority to slightly trim these trees in order that I may properly carry out the duties to which I have been assigned. Were it In my power I w?nild ai once lay an un derground cable and remove the entire system of government overhead wires.' I" respectfully protest against the imputation that It is my wish either 'to sacrifice the trees' or to do them 'serious Injury.' It will be ob served that abont the onlv difference between what you have ordered and what I requested Is that I was willing to do the 'slight trimming'at the expense of the United States while you have kindly ordered It done at the expense of the District. I beg to assure the Commissioners that so far from any desire to sacrifice the trees' or to do them 'serious Injury,'-the Dis trict authorities may be assured ol my earnest a-id h. ariiest co-operatiou in every effort that shall be made to improve and beautify this city." _ ?o? Examined by Proxy. HOW A YOUNG MAN PAS*EI? THE CIVIL SER VICE EXAMINATION IN BALTIMORE AND HIS BROTHER GOT THE POSITION. From the Baltimore Sun. Postmaster Veazev has discovered that Frank A. Geis, a young man, who was reported to him as having duly passed the civil service exam ination, and appointed a substitute letter car rier August 10, never, In fact, attendod the civil servic examinations. He was personated by his brother, as young Geis himself acknowl edged to the local board ol examiners yester day. The reason assigned by Geis for the deception practiced on the examining board was that he mashed his hand the day before the examina tion, aud being confident he could perforin the duties to which he might be called, he did not think he was doing very wrong. The brother psi-sed a first-rate examination, his average being 93, the highest of the carriers' class. Mr. Veazey, requiring a substitute letter-car rier, called on tne board to furnish him the names of the four highest on their list, accord ing to the practice. He selected Mr. Geis for the appointment, August 10, and Intended to report his name for appointment at Washing ton the next day. He received information, nowever, which led to an Investigation. Mr. Veazey suggested to the members of the local civil-service board yesterday to go straight to Geis for their information, without any detec tive assistance, and the result was the young man admitted that he bad got the appointment without having been present at the examina tion. Mr. Veazey said he had no desire to criticise the civil service law further than his duty to the public interest obliged him. Its purpose was good, and some law to secure a good civil service was very desirable. But that there are defects in the law 16 apparent from this as well as ot her Instances. If such a thing as this can be done so easily it suggets whether there are not otlK-r similar cases. With a large room filled witn 200 to 300 persons, under four or five examiners only, such an occurrence was not to be wondered at. The written vouchers of the citizens who signed Mr. Geis' application paper were confirmed by equally strong testi monials for him given In response to a printed card, which the postmaster always sends out before recommending an appointment. Mr. Veazey said he did not know what action would be taken by the board in the case. The Mississippi Democrats. A DEADLOCK IN THE CONVENTION?PROPOSED PENSIONING OF EX-CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS BY TIIE STATE. The democratic state convention of Missis sippi, in session at Jackson, got into a dead lock over a nomination for auditor yesterday* The deadlock continued into last night without any nomination being reached, and the Indi cations were that a dark horse would have to be taken tn order to settle the trouble. The committee on resolutions reported, recom mending that legislation for railroad super vision be put into practical effect; that ex confederate soldiers, disabled and Indigent, be pensioned by the state legislature, ana recom mending the passage by Congress of the bill known as the Blair educational bill. A state committee was organized, with D. P. Porter as chairman and J. L. Power as secretary and treasurer. Six Men-of-War Burned. CONDEMNED NAVAL VESSELS QUICKLY DE STROYED AT PLUM BEACH, L. I. The Minnesota, Susquehanna, Congress, South Carolina and Iowa, condemned men-of-war, re cently sold by the government to Stannard ollce of the tragedy, staled to a Star re porter to-day that the suicide was not com muted at his wharf, and furthermore that Hanley did not throw himself Into the water. Hanley had been so^n in the morning at the property yard wharf near Llttlefield's wharL A little before 11 o'clock, llenry Clay, a colored man, who had been fishing along the river shore, came to Mr. LittlefielcTs office and said a man had shot himself down by the sea-wall some distance below. Mr. Llttletield tele phoned the fact to police headquarters, and then went to til* spot where the body lay, at the lower end of the sea-wall, nearly half a mile away. He found Hanley lying dead on the rubble at the foot of the sea-wall with pistol wouuds In his head, as described in The Star. A part of his body lay In the water. Mr. Litr tlefleld thinks the body had been there an hour and that It was at first entirely out of the water, but had been lopped by the rapidly rising tide. The body was lying on the left side, and one hand was thrust Into the vest. The clothing was not wet. No one seems to have seen Hanley In that vicinity till he was found dead.

The Police Twenty Per Cent Cases. MR. CREECY'S CLAIMS FOR FEES. The decision of the Court of Claims last win ter, that the police come within the provisions of the law giving "twenty per cent additional compensation" to government employes, baa given rise to much litigation, and for a time the Probate Court was kept quite busy, a number ol the beneficiaries having died betore the funds were available. Mr. C. E. Creecy claimed to be malnlv instrumental in prosecuting the claims to a successful Issue, and to be entitled to a per centage of the aiqjounts recovered. To secure his compensation the legal repre sentatives of the deceased claimants were hunted up, and when they agreed upon satisfactory terms Mr. Creecv's attorney I had them take out letters, and In other cases he 1 applied for and obtalued letters of admlnlstrar tlon. Since last February he has obtained let I ters on the estates of Henry Addison, W. Thompson, B. K. MorselL J. L. Gates, H. YeaU man, F. D. PaXson, W. H. E. Ourand, C. A. Owens. James McCalgon. J. R. Louden, J. W. Franklin, W. E. Dunn, E. Bluett, J. A. Beattie, B. C. Berry, Lafayette Jacobs, Henry Nash, J. B. O'Brien. B. Ross, L. Rosslter, S. S. Scbaffer, A. Wustefeld, J. D. Nutting, S. S. Lester, S. W. Koontz, W. W. Grant, P. A. Becker, B. F. Bar ker and S. T. Crown. In the case of the estate of E. B. Hickman Mr. Creecy applied fior letters anu the widow has filed answer?the case now I being open. In the cases of Wm. Drane and EB. Caton the widow" have obtained letters, and Mr. Creecy appealed to the General Term froifc the order granting them letters, and also entered suit. That against the estate of Caton was after the trial-Mr. Edwards for the plaintiff aud Mr. Mills Dean ior the delendant?decided by justice O'Neal for the defendant. That against the Drane estate is pending beiore Justice Walter. In the case ol C. A. Kimmell, the lather, Obidiah Kimmell, obtained letters, and yesterday the motion ol Mr. Creecy to re quire the administrator to give a new bond I was overruled. A large number of the living claimants have received their checks, and the question of fees has been settled; but there are others, like the representatives ol some ol the deceased, who not questioning that Mr. Creecy Is entitled to something, are willing to pay as high as 25 per cent, but are unwilling to allow him 33 per cent or over.

The Pie Case In Court. the ROW THAT WAS RAISED BECAUSE MR. MICHAEL DOYLE REFUSED TO TAKE BACK A DAMAGED PIE. This morning, in the Police Court, Mr. Thomas called for trial the case of M Bob" Ward, colored, and Jamee Doyle, Jr., each charged with assault and battery. This is the celebrated pie case," said Mr. Closs, who appeared for Ward. Yes, and we will make you eat it," retorted Mr. Cahill, who appeared for Doyle. James Doyle, Jr., testified that on Thursday a little girl came into his lather's store and asked for an apple pie, but, as he had no apple Sle, she said she would take a prune pie. Some me afterwards Ward came in with the pie. which was broken, and said be wanted witness* lather to take the pie back, but his father re fused to do it Ward said he would make him Ske it back, and then struck at witness' father, is fist went through the glass and broke the wood work about the door. He then caught witness' father, and witness went to his lather's assistance and fired one shot in the air. Michael Doyle* 62 years old, who keeps the store at 3d and C streets, in South Washington, testified to Ward's coming back with the pie, and to being knocked down by Ward.

"The young lady to whom he was engaged is named Whltaker. She is a circumspect girl of superior ability. Valentine Evans, the curate here, who was a great pal of Brooks, has gone to orkshire leaving a bad reputation.

M?n? the letter* which came to Attorney General Qarlsnd the other day, vu a remakable one from Sebastian county. Arkansas. Ths writer probably sent It to Ma Garland, believing that that gentle ?ai would take in Interest in anything from Arkansas and aid in developing the wonders of electro-phonetics, which promises to shed such glory upon his state. Th* Star, always ready to promote the Interests of science, by reporting all discoveries or sup posed discoveries of value, gives space to some extracts from the letter. The letter is deeorip effects of "Eiectro-Phonetles (T^>e World's Wonder)/' and the writer says: Dr. Henry Bates, of Burnsvllle, Ark.. Sebas tian won't, has discovered how to make elec .rloity in the human body and then electrify other persons or an audience while speaking, talking and singing. The application of eleo tnetty to the sound of hnmaa voices will make any song, text or subject interesting, animating and lively. The doctor says that il ls one of the simplest and easiest things in the world to make electricity in the human body and then charge other persons with it. Yet it took him twenty years of hard work to make the dis covery. TH* *TT*CT OT *l*CT*0-PH0JC*TrCS. At an 11! ustration of the great value of this wonderful discovery to the legal fraternity, the j Writer says: "Two lawyers gave the doctor one foliar a piece for instructions In eleotro-phone tics, which they applied at the bar during a lawsuit between Bill Smith and Parson Jones tn swapping horses. It only took the doctor about ten minutes to instruct the lawyers bow to generate electricity in the human body and then charge the Jury, Judge, court and the audi ence with it." _ Last winter, in Sebastian county, Ark., Bill Smith and Parson Jones swapped horse*, and a few days after -Smith became dirati fied with tho trade and sued Jones for fdO damage, and taen both employed lawyers. Both the law yen reinforced their natural eloquence by of electro-phonetics, and the result must navebeen astonishing, even In Arkansas, Judg ing from the reports or the speeches sent to the Department of justice for official Inspection. Similar results have been obtained In otner sec tions of the country by the use of a fluid vari ously known as "velvet," "corn-Juice," "old rye," and the theory has been broached that the learned Arkansas doctor has stum bled by accident upon some of this fluid, bnt the Attorney General himself, it is said, cau vouch tor the fact that the properties of this fluid hare long been known in Arkansas, so the theory referred to must be rejected. VU SPKXCH TO* TH* PLAINTIFF. Smith's lawyer, after referring to the unwrit ten law regulating horse-trading, and the fact that t>opular opinion condemned a man who "kicked" alter getting the worst of a trade, justified Smith's course In bringing suit in the fol lowing swelling and eloquent sentences: "But you oan kick me across a ten-acre Held, and lash my naked back with the tails of ten thousand soorpiooa, If I don't prove that Smith was not only cheated, but was roboed, de frauded and plundered. [Applause.] A regi ment of a thousand bandits and bignway rob bers?the raging storms and cyclones that sweep the eartn (applause]?a discharge from the batteries of thunder and lightning that play and roll so majestically along the blue vaults of the eternal Heavens, could not have inflicted greater suffering upon Smith than was brought by Parson Jones, the defendant at the bar. [Long and continued cheering.] After a pause, in which, it is supposed, the electrified attorney took In another and iresb Charge of the mysterious fluid, be proceeded: "Smith Is now like Prometheus bound to the peat rooks of despair, with the thunders of Sinai launched at bim and the lightnings of terrible vengeance flashing in his face. It is enough to make his knees knock together, to chill nls blood and start each individual hair of his head upon Its end." FA voice from the Judge: "Order! order in court!'] "It is enough to make him think that he is forever to abide In that place 'where are solemn groans and hollow moans, and shrieks of tortured ghost.' Earthquakes may growl below and promise to crack the sides of the mighty globe, upheave the mountains and swallow millions; and then you may gouge my eyes out and knock every tooth down my throat If Parson Joues did not swindle Bill Smith out of his horse." [Every- body whooping.] After indulging In another series of dreadful metaphors, the orator, according to the report Hied at the department, closed in the follow ing Impressive words: "Gentlemen of the Jury, If this trade is to stand, we will forever believe that the declara tion of independence is a humbug?the wheels of civilisation rolling in mud, and that Christ died In Tain. [Everybody on their feet and hal loaing at the top of their voices.] ''Now. In the name of suffering humanity and all the dead heroes of our land and country, let a verdict come spontaneously bursting from, the bosoms of twelve true and good men that vjrlil lead Parson Jones howling and bellowing over the granite hills and nigged mountains of this Ood-forsaksn country. [An uproar In court} "Let it oome with all the force and power of volcanoes and hurricanes, for I tell you fmin the inmost depths of my heart he everlastingly busted Smith In swapping horses." [Long and continued cheering.} TH* DEP*HSE. Though one would supppose the English lan froags had been tired out In presenting the case of the plaintiff, such Is the power at the com mand of an adept in electro-phonetics that Parson Jones' lawyer replied In a speech quite as scathing and forcible In Its way.

Boys who are given cart-horses to drive (particularly brick and sand carts) are the greatest offenders.

Dtfontlmi tf the terlw. For ths third time since 1863 Mr. Rapley is rebuilding tbe National Theater. Each new 8tractor** has been an improvemement upon its predecessor. The building now being com pleted has been carefully designed with a view of comprising in it all the modern Improve ments in theatrical architecture. Mr. J. B. Mo Elfatrick, tbe architect, has promised Mr. Rap- j lev that his theater will be a model in every respect. Tbe building in itself, on account of its height and width will be among tbe most striking and notable edifices, feeing Pennsyl vania avenue. Within the structure scores of workmen are rapidly pushing the work in the auditorium and around tbe stage. The auditor lnm has been made larger than that of the old theater, and the seating capacity Increased to 1,900. Tbe stage has been widened and made tour feet deeper. In designing the interior care has b?en taken to make the lines such that there will not be a bad seat in tbe boose, or any seat which will not command a satisfactory view of the stage. "This is always considered the doubt (hi teat," said Mr. Rapley, taking a Star reporter through a labyrinth of timbers supporting several stories of staging, to a point in Che orchestra circle next to the partition dividing off the private boxes. "Bat you see there will be no trouble about this seat/' The line of sight from the point indicated took In tbe whole of the front of the stage, and nearly I all Its depth. The galleries have been con structed on the most approved models. Instead ot taking the form or a seml-oiilpee or deep horse shoe, the fronts ot the galleries, deecrlbe a semi-circle, with the stage as its oenter. This brings the audienee very close to the stage, an arrangement which not only increases the seat ing capacity, but is very much liked by aetors and others who appear on the stage, and Is bet ter tor the audience. THE INTERIOR DSOORATIOHS. The theater will be furnished and deoorated in a style in keeping with the character, which the architect intends it to have, of a model theater. The entrance from the street or vesti bule will be finished in white and black Ten nessee marble. This entrance will be thirty feet wide, affording ample means of exit from the house, m addition to this entrance, however, provision has been made for two lane exit doors on cach side of the auditorium besides the usual stage entrances. The decoration of the interior, the woodwork, frescoing and uphols tering will be rich, and in character witli the purposes to which the house will be dedicated. Mr. Alfred A. Frail, of St. Louis, who makes a specialty ot ornamental woodwork of theaters, and is now Just completing tbe Interior of the new grand opera house in St. Louis, has begun his part of the work at the National. To a Stab reporter Mr. Prall said the chief points to be regarded in designing decorations for a theater were the boxes and proscenium arch. These were what the eyes of the people naturally turned to, when not looking upon tbe stage. Mr. Prall has made an entirely new design for the boxes and the proscenium arch. The general style followed Is that of the modern renaissance and the dec orations throughout the house will harmonise with it. There will be four boxee on each side, so arranged that they in ay be divided, making eight compartment* or boxes in all. The lower boxes will be'supported by richly carved and decorated columns, with ornamental caps. Tbe supports for the upper boxes will be caryatids halt life size. In front of the boxee will be pro jecting balconies, and the whole will be sur mounted by a projecting canopy. Upon this canopy will be an elaborately carved pediment, with two reclining.female figures, classically nude. The two figures on one side of the house will represent music aud art, aud those on the other tragedy and comedy. The center prosce nium arch will be decorated in bold rellr-f, with shields, armor and scroll work, combined in h rich d?sign. The fronts of the galleries will be elaborately carved with decorations sm Hematic of mu6ic and drama. HOW WORK 13 PUSHED IN AMERICA. "One trouble in making a theater in thiscoun try," said Mr. Prall to The Star reporter, "la that everything must be completed at a certain date. Theaters must be erected and completely finished between seasons. In Europe the build ing Is not completed until the work U done. That is. the work is given out, aud the time of opening the theater depends upon the time that may t>e required to do the work. We do work herein three months that would not be com pleted in two years there. I had a Frenchman working for me some time ago, a wood carver, and when I bad made out tbe designs for a theater showed them to him. He shrugged his shoulders and said, 'That ees a big Job. It will take two years.' 'Not in this country,' I said: 'that work will have to be done in three months;' and It was done in that time." A TALE OP THE WOODS. The Intense Excitement Under which a Squirrel Hunter Labored?Mr. vis* Remarkable Experience. Mr. Jesse Bar vis, the newspaper correspond ent, has been in the habit for a number of years past of going to central Pennsylvania and spending the greater portion of his summer vacation in fishing. The narration of his expe rience on his return has added many striking chapters to the Munchausen element in pisca torial literature. Mr. Sarvis does not followthe well-beaten track of making the Interest of his stories depend upon the large number of fish caught and their extraordinary Bize, but rather on the adroitness and skill with which the water is whipped and the fish landed. Perhaps it ?w tbe hot weatber that the other day di verted tbe conversation to woody dells and babbling streams, bat whatever was the cause Mr. Sarvis beran to tell a Star man that bis annual trip this year would not occur until Oc tober. "I expect to do a great deal ot hunting while I am away," said Mr. Sarvis as he gaxed pen sively out upon the pavement as It lay blister ing in the hot sun. "Hunting!" exclaimed the listener with sur prise. "Why I thought that you devoted your entire time to fishing." "I used to do that," replied Mr. Sarvto, "but last year my brother invited me to go hunting, and it was a perfect revelation to me. Talk about excitement; why I never had anything to affect me iu such a way. Poker playing Is stupid in comparison, and flsbing is like going to bed. I will never forget tbe experience of I the first day as long as 1 live. You see,we were hunting squirrels. Of course squirrels are not regarded as great game by professional hunters, but up In that country there is no large game, and for a mau who has had no experience the sport assumes tbe proportions of deer hunting. 1 had gone up a ravine, and presently I saw a gray squirrel some distance ahead, and it wa3 coining towards me. I dropped to the ground, to avoid frightening tbe squirrel, and got my f;un all ready. The squirrel came on. I began 0 feel my biood run more rapidly, and a thrill passed through my body. The squirrel kept coming on. The perspiration started from every pore, my hands became wet with moisture, and 1 could near my heart beat. Still the squirrel kept coming on. It was time to take aim, but my hands trembled, my breath began to come short ana fast, and a film seemed to gather over my eyes. I did not seem to be able to control the growing excite ment. and the sensations that I experienced surprised aud startled roe. The squirrel was now quite near, but I could, no longer direct my hands, my head began to swim and I fell over in a partially unconscious condition. When 1 recovered the squirrel had gone, and the cause ot the excitement being removed. I soon regained my normal condition. But tne strain was so great that if It had been a dees I believe that it would have killed me." "Is the decree of excitement proportioned to the size of the game?" asked the listener, who bad followed the narrative with breathless Interest. "Certainly It is," replied Mr. Sarvis with great earnestness. "The larger the animal the greater the excitement, and as I tell you, 1 be lieve that If It had been a deer instead of a squirrel the strain would have ktlled me. For real genuine excitement there is nothing equal to hunting and I could not go back to fishing now. It is entirely too tame. Of course after an experience of some days I was able to shoot a squirrel, but 1 still feel an exhilaration that has no counterpart in anything I have ever ex perienced." Before Mr. Sarvis could unfold further tbe philosophy of the sport of hunting he was called sv.ay, and TheBtar man reflected upon this curious experience. Do Ton Smoke? THE FIRST QUESTION TO BOYS WHO ENTKB TOT WAVY. From the Scientific American. The United States navy its service a large number of apprentice boys who are sent all over the world and taught to be thorough sailors. It has been tbe policy of the government since tbe war to educate the "blue Jacket," upon the principle that the more intelligent the man is the better sailor he to likely to become. There is no lack ot candi dates for these positions. Hundreds of boys ?PPly, but many are rejected because they can not puss the physical examination. Major Houston, one of tbe Marine corps, who to la charge of the Washington navy yard barracks. Is authority for the statement that ono-fifth of ail the boys examined are rejected on account of heart disease. JU." first question to a boy who desires to en* list is: "Do you smokef" The Invariable re sponse' la,"no, air,' but the tell-tale discoloration of the fingers at once shows the truth. The sur 5eons say that cigarette smoking by boys pro ucee heart disease. and that In ninety-nine caaes out of a hundred the rejection of would be apprentices on account of this defect comes from excessive use of the milder term ot the weed. This Is a remarkable statement, oom ing, as it does, from so high an authority, and t iseii upon the result or actual examinations going on day after day, and month after month. It should be a warning to parents that the deadly cigarette is sure to bring about incalcu lable injury to the young.

The baavleet betting, however, lain the "books." What Is known as "book-making" in racingparlanf&lssngagsdin by three of the establishments. The other two confine themselves to auction pools and making combinations. For the benefit of the un initiated who have not experienced the ex citing emotion ot awaiting returns from a horse race to determine the conditionoltheirnnances, it may be well to describe A root. BOOSt. One side of the wall Is painted Mack from floor to celling, and Inscribed thereon, in chalk, Is the name of every horse entered in each race, with the weight each racer carries. The book maker, who stands behind a counter somewhat resembling a bank counter, makes his own odds. That Is, he determines the amoant that he will lay against each horse, and that's where he has the advantage, for the better must take his figures if be puts up any money. The figure on the left of the horse's name indicates t be amoant that the bookmaker Is willing to lay that that horse will not win. Tbe flaure on the right of the name shows what Is laid that the horse will not get a place. That Is that he will not come In nrst or second in the race. For exam ?le a 3 on the left of the name 8bows that 3 to Is bet that he will not win. The figure 1 on the right of the name indicates tuat even money is bet that the horse will not come in first or second. The better selects hU horse from the list of entries posted. He lays down the amount he wishes to wager on the counter, and receive! a card, on which Is written the name of the horse and the odds. He has then only to a wait the result oi the race. On another side of the room the entries in all races are posted, on a much smaller scale, together with the weights carried. Here a number stands in front oi the name of each horse. The better lays down a dollar, calls the name of the racer he wishes to back, and receives a small bit of pasteboard containing the number correspond ing to that name. The number of ticketasold on each horse is carefully kepi opposite the horses name, and the total sold on the race is kept reg istered. When the race la finished the total amount of money Invested upon it, less five per cent for the house, is divided among the hold ers of tickets on the winning horse: This sys tem is known as the "Paris Mutuals." I# is so arranged that the better can also back the horses for a place. Eaoh ticket Is fixed at one dollar. OOMB1BATXOBS. Adjoining the Mutuals Is a large blackboard divided into innumerable small squares by means of narrow white lines painted acroee It each way. Each one of these little squares Is numbered, and above them the entries In three races are written, each horse, as in the Mutuals, being given a number. This Is the combination system. The better Invests fifty cents and re ceives a small card bearing the three numbers corresponding to the three horses he has se lected. The numbers are recorded In one of the squares or "boxes," with a figure below indicat ing how many have bought that combination. The three horses selected must all win in order to benefit the better. All the money, less five per cent commission, In the pool is divided among the holders ot tickets on the successful combination. Ticket* are also sold on the field at fifty cents each; that is, the better wagers that none of the combinations selected wlQ be successful. If they all fall the pool is then di vided, less the five per cent of course, among the holders of field tickets. THE AtrCTIOif POOLS are just what their name implies. The entries are conspicuously posted and the auctioneer calls for bids for first choice. The person bid-1 ding highest has the choice knocked down to him and be names the horse he thinks will win, receiving a card containing the name of that horse. Bids for second choice, thlnl choice. J and so on consecutively,are asked and knocked down to the man who offers most. Where I there are half a dozen or so entries, frequen tly a field of several horses,which are not regarded 1 as classing up well enough to Stand a good chance to win, is sold. The money produced from each bid goes to make a pool, wnlch, less the five per cent. Is turned over after the race to the holder oi the ticket containing the name i of the winning horse. 8CENBS IB A TOOL, BOOB. 1 The crowds which gather in the several pool rooms dally, especially during the time while the races are being run. famishes evidence of the lively interest felt here in racing, and of the many who Indulge in the sport. Each pool room has a telegraph wire ana instrument, so that the anxious better is not kept in suspense j long after the race Is run. In the Jostling crowd of course nothing but "hOrse,# is talked. The winner can be easily picked out by the satisfied expression of his countenance and the air of confidence with which he expresses his opinion ol coming events. Nor Is it any more difficult to select the unfortunate loser. His air of dejection and the eager expectancy with which he scans each new comer In the hope that it may be a friend from whom he can borrow a "stake." tell the story of his bad plays. Comparatively few men risk their own Judgment in backing the boreas. They rely upon "tips." as advleea how to play are called, from the track. These come by telegraph to numerous persons dally, either irom friends or from parties who regularly engage in the busi ness of furnishing information. Every man who gets his dally "tips" by telegraph has his circle of friends to whom be communicates the valuable information. But he binds each one to secrecy, and takes pains to keep the good thing he has from getting out. It is scarcely necessary to say that these "tips" are not In fallible. They are very often misleading. THB BAB WITH A TBUCOBAH. The lucky man who recelvea a telegram when the betting fever is running very high Is the envy of the crowd. He rushes to a corner, nods a summons to several Mends, and together they eagerly read the contents. The dispatches are always brief! generally limply naming cer tain hones, which the better understands to direct him to back those hotaee. The little group perhaps read, 'Back (naming a horse) with your last dollar." Fertume another fortu nate recipient of a "tip," freshby wire from the track, is standing near by reading, "Put all money on ?giving the name of another horse in the same race. There Is not a day that thousands of dollars do not change hands in Washington upon the horseraces. As soon as the day's racing isover the winners are posted, the beards cleared oil; and the entries for the next day's races pnt up. Then the pool-room is ready for business again, and in the evening the same customers who crowded the rooms during the day are on hand tor further investments^ George Wllk.ee' IlUwan.

The early annals of the city state that man) of the promi nent citizens had country places near the djty where they sought rural quiet and retirement after the business of the day was over. A drive In any direction about the city for three or four miles, and in some cases even further. vilisJww evidences of this In the Rubstant-lal houses standiift back from the road amidst the trees and lawns, and In other indications point ing, in spite of neglect and decay, to a former occupancy of wealthy properties. Many of these old country seats, standing In the midst of cultivated farms, are still kept up and occu pied by men of means. But a suburban drive at the presentday will bring to theeye notalone the residences of wealth.but the attractive homes of people of small means. In every direction around the city in Maryland and Virginia pre small villages whose residents to a large extent are people whose business is in Washington andwho are owners of small and large farms. The subdivision of suburban property into city lots has been done to some extent, especially a*. a* it. rally there are more people living in the coun try during the summer than In the winter, still a targe proportion retain their country homes during the entire year. ALONS THS BAUJtOADS. If anyone is Inolined to doubt It let them go down to the Baltimore and Ohio station any morning and see the large number, of business men, clerks and others come pouring out of the trains and hurrying off to the business of the day. If the spectator's interest was suffi cient and he boarded the afternoon trains leaving the city he would see what became of the troops of men who filled the cars. The train on the Metropolitan branch perhaps car ries out the greatest number, and as It clews the limits of the city and speeds forth into the country it soon draws op to a little station called Brooks. Bare a number alight and may be seen going up the country roads to the resi dences which stand further back among the trees. Tben there is Terra Cotta, Stotts, La monds, Takoma Park, Silver Springs, Linden, Forest Glen, Knowlea, Windham, Randolph, Hal pine, Rockvllle, Washington Grove, Gafth ersburg. Boyds, and so on. At Washington Grove there is quite a colony of Washing tonians who spend the summer on the health ful and attractive grounds of the camp meet ing association. There is another settlement of Wasblngton ians at Takoma park, six miles from the elty. The name of the railroad station, which was, until recently, Brightwood, is now Takoma. The change was made because the station is just at the entrance of the park, where a num ber of elty people have purchased lots and erected homes. The area of the park oom prises about ninety-three acres, lying on both fides of the railroad. The District line runs through about the center of this tract, so that a portion lies In Maryland and the remainder In the District. A year and a half ago. when Mr. B. P. Gilbert purchased this land, It was cov ered with a thick growth of trees. He has cleared away the trees and undergrowth sufficiently to make handsome stretches of shaded lawns where the tangled woods stood In their primitive condition. He has laid off and graded streets and has'sold a number of lots to persons, who have erected and are now erect ing cottages, so that the appearance of Takoma park now differs vastly from What it was before the christening occurred. The name Takoma is an Indian word, meaning near to Heaven, and was applied by the Indians to a lofty peak In Washington Territory, the top of which is generally lost in the clouds. The western Ta koma is spelled with a "C" instead of a "K." Mr. Gilbert modestly disclaims the idea that the place realizes the Indian meaning of the word. There are about four miles of avenues and streets laid out and graded in the park. They are from forty to fifty feet in width, with a space for parking and sidewalks on each side of twelve feet, and according to the building regu lations each house must be lorty feet back from the sidewalk. The lots average fifty feet front by two hundred in depth, and there are now about one hundred lotnolders, most of whom intend to build, though some have bought for speculative purposes. There are now one hun dred people living in the park, including actual residents and those who have come out for tne summer. Among these is Dr. D. W. Bliss, who has been in bad health, and has found the air from the pine trees ana the excellent chalybeate waters beneficial. He Is living with his son, Dr. E. B. Bliss, who has a very comfortable cot tage in the park. There are now about sixteen houses in the park, which are either built or in the course of erection. Among those who have built houses here are Mrs. Veltenhelmer, the widow of Lieut. Veltenheimer, U. 8. A.; A. G. Thomas. H. Garnett, A. J. Cory, Col. G. C. Knlf fen, F. E. Dudley, Lewis Dudley, Will. McKel den, Rev. Dr. Wright. O. D. Summy, Daniel Smith, S. L. Ford, B. A. Ford and B. F. Gilbert. During the past year about $40,000 has been spent in improvements about the park. Mr. Gilbert's house is THE FINEST IN THE PARK, and is a very handsome structure of wood upon a substantial foundation of stone. The tower rises to the height of sixty-five feet. The house is fifty leet wide, and has a central hall ten feet wide. The wood work is hard finish, and the mantels are mahogany and cherry to match the wood work. The bouse contains twenty rooms, and has so nearly reachcd completion that it is occupied in part by Mr. Gilbert s fam ily. There are a number of other houses now being erected and several who intend to build. Among these are Prof. M. G. Kimball, David A. Haynes, Chas. M. Heaton, Mrs. L. A. Nell, J. 8. Poler, Mrs. Hopperton, G. A. Whltaker, Dr. Bovee, Fred. w. Pratt, Messrs. Frey, Key, Brum well, and Lang. The settlement Is now over a year old, and if the same ratio ol in crease Is maintained it will soon be a flourish ing colony. Mr. Gilbert states that nearly half of the ground in the park has been sold, for besides those who are building homes or In tend to build are a number who own lots. Among these are Gen. Lafayette Bingham, Gen. Alfred Pleasanton. Lieut. Baker, U. 8. N., Chas. Baum, Dr. H. N. Howard, Chas. God frey. Gen. Jos. Dickman, T. C. Bourne, Lieut. Buchanan, and Lieut. Knox, U. S. A., Geo. F. Graham, Miss Pendleton, Miss Chase, John S. Swormstedt, J. H. Kuehung, Mrw. De Mowbry, John C. Dal in, Mrs. Ordway, W. C. Douglass, and French S. Evans. PLANS FOB THK FUTURE. There are a number of plans for future Im provement now in contemplation. Among these may be mentioned the intention of Mr. A. G. Thomas to erect a store near the railroad station, where the poet office will also be located. Mr. Gilbert also proposes to erect a hotel In a Kve near the railroad, where it is thought ny will oome out from the city to spend the summer. THE HOXIOVS WISED. Cigarettes, Snnff and Cigars*?Where the I Beat Tobacco la Qrowa-The Deter to stloB Is Csbss ana Connecticut Lest "The demand for cigarettes," said a leading wholesale tobacconist in response to an Inquiry by a STAR reporter,"is greater to-day than ever, known, and almost exclusively for cigarettes of American manufacture, as we are far ahead of the world In the successful manufacture of the various Rtyles. My advice is, smoke none of them. I believe them to be pernicious in their tendencies. However, if young men will smoke them those made of good Virginia tobacco are the best." "There Is no promise of a revival of snuff taking," continued the tobacconist. "Snuff is ?till extensively used in the south by the colored people. It has been dropped almost en tirely, eveiywhere except in this country. Nearly all the Scotch snuff sold in the United States is made bv two firms, one in Philadel phia and one in New York. Of the million pounds or more, which they sell annually, over one half. Is consumed in Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina and Tennessee. There it is used in 'dipping' by persons who smear the snuff on a suck and rub the stick around in the mouth." "Is there any improvement in the quality of native tobacco?" asked the reporter. The Quality of the leaf grown in Pennsyl sin anl other western states, forms the prin cipal cigar tobacco used in this country. The Connecticut leaf appears, for some reason, to be deteriorating in texture and flavor. This is due, in my opinion, to enforced production by the use of guano, and the cultivation of the same fields year after year In the same staple. The quality of the crop grown in Cuba is yearly deteriorating, from the same cause as that in Connecticut. It la still true that there is bnt one Havana tobaeco; and that its exquisite flavor cannot be imitated or reproduced on any other soil than that of Cuba, but that flavor has lost much of its fine quality. The cupidity of the tobacco growers, in endeavoring to stlmu na Tooawio growers, ui endeavoring to stimu late growth and produce quantity at the expense nfauolltv. has brought its own punishment.

ThS contract having Just been awarded, tbe construction of a new public building In Wash ington is Soon to be begun. Tbe appropriation Is for a plain lire-proof brick building, quite in expensive, to contain the records, tbe library, and tbe museum of the medical department of the army. Tbe appropriation Is only $200,000 for tbe completion of tbe building, and the con tract, as announced in The Stab, baa been given to Qrlgbt A Humphrey for even leee than that?#170,967?but the plans are such as to promise a very attractive building. It will oc cupy the space lo the southeast corner of the Smithsonian ground*, acd will balance the other two bufldings located in the grounds. The building will have its main tront on B street' south, extending about Wo hundred and thirty-two feet. The oenter building will be one hundred and twelve length oy flfly-four feeteigbt Inches In depth, Banked with wing*, each sixty feet front by ops hundred and thirty-one feet deep. The whole building is to be of brick, with very little stone trimming, consisting merely of aline of bluestone all the way around the building at 2*?b stofT. The building will have three sto ries, with a fburth over the main entrance. THE WINGS will be about the height of the main entrance, but on the one side the library and on tbe other the musenm will extend all the way from the first story to the roof, the basement and first stories being used for offices. The second story of tbe west wing will be that preserved for the book staoks of the library, having a height of 33 feet to the celling, with an open roof, covered bv a continuous ventilating lantern skylight. The east wing is assigned to the museum, and is like tbe west in every respect, except tbat it has a gallery all around its tour sides, giving additional floor space for exhibition purposes. The foundations throughout consist of concrete, and the walls are of brick, constructed with a banded internal lining of hollow brick tor nil walls exposed to the weather. The ornamenta tion consists of moulding and oornlces of brick and terra ootta, with galvanised iron for crown mouldings, cornices and lanterns. The floors of the first story are constructed of brick arches between rolled iron beams, while those above ar? formed of hollow brick, flat arches between rolled beams. Tbe floors of the office rooms are to be finished with wooden flooring, on sleepers imbedded in concrete, and those In tbe base ment will have no woodwork, but will be of Portland ccment, of a dark tint. The corridors will be laid with plain eneaustic tile. The roolfe are to be constructed of lighter material, sim ilar to that of the floors. The partitions are to be of brick, solid in some cases and hollow in others. THE LIBBABY AKD THE XUBET7H are to be two Immense halls, each taking up an entire floor of a wing. The columns under the book-stacks In the library are to be constructed of flre-pioofed sectional wrought Iron, while those In the museum will be of castiron. Each furnished with fire-proofed wrought Iron sliding doors, and the stairs are of wrought and castiron. 1 he door and window frames, sashes, architraves, will be of wood, and will, within the building, nave hardwood finish. The cut stone work Is confined to buttress blocks, outside steps, sills and sill courses, a few blocks on main entrance, the moulded work being made of brick and terra cotta blocks. The base ment will be left unplastered, and the stories above will receive a white hard finish forofflces a04 .corridors, and a sand finish for museum ??d'library. To comply with the requirements that the building be made fire-proof, there will be as little wood work used as possible. Instead of the usual baseboards there will be along the floors of the building strips ol Portland cement plastering, parted from the plastering of the side walls by sunk beads. The building will be heated throughout by steam, and the office rooms will have plain marble mantels and grates. The height of the stories will be as follows: Basement, 11 feet; first story, 16 feet; center building, fecond story, 14 feet; wings, second story, 32 feet; center building, third story, 13 feet, and fourth story, up to the under side of tbe roof. The space Immediately over the main entrance is Intended for the photograph gallery. The building will not be massive, nor will it possess any very great architectural pre tensions, but It will be a substantial, neat looking building, in harmony with the national museum, to which It will be a near neighbor. The excavation for thefoundation will be begun next week, and it is expected that it will take about a year and a half to complete the building. THE COLLECTION OF BOOKS. The bnllding fills a great need and will pre serve from the danger of flre the moat valuable and extensive medical library in the world. The collection consists of 67,000 bound volu mes, and 75,000 pamphlets?more than two thirds of the medical literature In existence. The collection has been accumulating lor many years, and was probably begun by Surgeon General JLovell, in 1830. At the commence ment of tbe late war there were but about 350 volumes, mostly medical text books and Jour nals. when Dr. Hammond was Surgeon-Gen eral. in 1862 and 1863, about 360 volumes of works relating to military medicine and sur gery were added. Within the following two years the library grew to 1.800 voiumes, which in 18 pertyof a poor widow, a coantry ^^?n^ out^- "W then remarked, 'It'sad-?djpoor^ldowwh? would own so mach ProP"HJ.J?^hi*l?!hl. giving the order*?ff- After this the British soKNW wswi given a furiouah.and id a ragul*' spree, tolng into the selves to liquor, pay for a time had saloons and h? ng nothing tor XJTERABY notes. manual of thk rmlroadsofther>~i nn srins FOR 1888.

The fresh Interest in the events of the late civil war, awakened by the sickness and death of General Grant, makes the appearance of this volume at the present Juncture peculiarly time* ly. Its value and Its cnorm alike lie in the fact that it is the simple, straightforward story of a soldier In the ranks, told, not from memory, after a lapse or twenty years, but written down at the close of each day's hard experiences and exciting obser vation!. Gen. Foroe, In whose regiment the author served, says that the author Is intelli gent, trusty and honorable, and that his narra tive may be depended on as a faithful descrip tion of what he saw; and every page of the book seems to bear on Its face the strongest possible evidence oi the correctness of Gen. Force's opinion. COLONEL ENDERBY'8 WIFE. A Novel. By Lucas Malbt, Author of "ICrs. Lorimer: a Sketch in Black and White." New York: D. Appleton 4t Co. Washington: Robert Beall. "Mrs. Lorlmer," the first novel by this author, (who is now understood to be Mrs. Harrison, daughter of the late Canon Kingsley,) was so decided a success that her second effort was sure to be looked for with pleasurable anticipa tions. Compared with that, her present story will suffer somewhat, as it lacks something of the strength and Intensity of the former, and has a somewhat morbid vein. It has, however, more life and movement, with striking dra matic effects, strong portraiture, and vivid de scriptions of scenery both in England and Italy, which make It a story of more than usual power and interest. THE MAURICE MYSTERY. By J. Estkk Cook*. New York: D. Appleton Co. Washington: RobL Beall. Mr. Cooke's reputation as a brilliant writer will in no wise suflfer by his latest production, which is a well conceived and well sustained story fTom beginning to end. Incidentally lta interest hinges on the late Chilian-Peruvian dif ficulties, but it largely involve* Mr. Cooke's favorite theme, southern life and incidents, in the presentation of which he has no superior, and the mystery of the story displays as well his vigorous and Inventive imagination. A volume that will have special interest for printers as well as scientists and students, is one recently issued from the press of Messrs. Judd dc Detweiler, of this city. It is No. 514 of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, bearing the title, "A Catalogue of Scientific and Technical Periodicals (1665 to 1882), together with Chronological Tables, and a Library Check List. By Henry Carrtngton Bolton." when it 1 is said that the 773 broad pages of the volume contain the titles of 5,105 different publico- j tions, Issued in all parts of the world between the dates named, its value to student* working on scientific lines will be understood; while to a printer's eye its attractiveness will lie In the fact that the titles are all printed in the lan guage of the country of publication, thus re quiring fonts of type in Arabic, Greek, Hunga rian, Polish, Russian, Scandinavian, ahd many other foreign tongues, less strange, but still far from coming into common use in ordinary American printing offices. In every respect the volume is a creditable production, and, consid ered mechanically, it admirably illustrates the capacities of Washington as a publishing centes. Numbers 169 and 170 of Holt's "Leisure Hour Series" (received through Robert Bead) are, respectively, "A Millionaire's Cousin," by the Hon. Emily Lawless, and "A Family Affair," by Hugh Conway. The first named, by the author of "A Chelsea Householder," Is very Slight in construction and treatment, but withal a clever story of love and travel, with entertaining pictures of English society, and scenery in Algeria, where the incidents occur. The other, which is, we believe, the last work of the author of "Called Back." has had quite a successful run in England, where it was pub lished in serial form, and of this the one be fore us is the authorized edition for this coun try. It is marked by the characteristics which have made the other works of Mr. Fargus so popular on both sides of the Atlantic. To the "Student's Series or Standard Poetry," edited by W. J. Rolfe, Messrs. Tlcknor Co. have recently added Scott's Marmion." The edition has been prepared on the same plan as that of "The Lady of the Lake," "The Princess." etc.. Issued some time ago, and the editor makes the remarkable statement that a correct version of this poem has never been printed before,? Scott himself having overlooked some bad mis prints in the first edition. Though inexpensive, the little volume is very attractive, typograph ically, and the illustrations are unusually fine,? tlie plates used being selections from the pub lishers' elegant holiday edition of the same poem Issued a couplc of years since. D. Lothrop 6 Oe. have issued a neat brochure, containing select passages from various writings and addresses of General Grant. All the ex tracts give evidence of the most exalted pa triotism, and show that the dead hero was not onlv a great soldier, but possessed many qual ities of statesmanship, for which the world did not In his lifetime give him credit. The selec tions seem to be Judiciously made, and the value of the little volume is heightened by a chapter of personal rementecences of the Gen eral, by Mrs. Fremont. Those who desire to understand what Buddh ism is will find a brief but very clear exposition of that faith in Col. Olcott's "Buddhist Cathe chlsni," which forms the third number of Bstes Lauriat's "Blogen Series," edited by Dr. Elliott Ooues of this city. The Interest Just now existing in regard to oriental questions makes its publication Just now very timely. So many big volumes having been published to show what their authors did not know about the great dramatist, Mrs. C. H. Dall, of Uols city, is engaged in the preparation of aniall one to be entitled, "What we Actually Know About Shakespeare." It is Intended, we under stand as a sort of text-book, for use In schools, etc. Mr. E. S. Hutchinson, of this city, has had published in book form, for private distribu tion among his friends, his "Impressions of a Recent Trip to Europe." ?r Wales London Letter to the Borton Herald. Mrs. Langtry was subjected three days after the Lonsdale-Chetwynd affair to the greatest slight that could be inflicted upon a woman in her position, a deliberate "cut" from the Princess of Wales, who is not the plaetto doll in the Prinee's hands that some people imagine. This episode oeourredat the Coombe House, where Lady Archibald Campbell and her pas toral players were giving their last performance of "The Falthfulle Shepherdesse."

The plays presented on these occasions were "The Mer chant of \enice,"" Romeo and Juliet." "The Ta&' "Much Ado About Nothing." and King Henry VII," and they werr prc ln P??0r* of He^- and Mrs. C. W.

Perhaps the most brilliant entertainment of this season was the celebration of the throe hundred and sixteenth birthday of the Immor tal Bard of Avon, which took place at the recl denoe of Dr. Howe. The play selected lor this anniversary reading was the comedy of "Much Adc About Nothing," with Dr. Frank T. Howe. Mr. A. A. Brooke, as OUumUo- Mr. J-B- PnupbBB Dogberry; Dr. Murphv. as Leon ado; Miss Saxton, as Beatrice: Mrs. Robinson, as Hero. Recitations by Miss Vinnle Shannon! Messrs. E. B. Hay and David C. Bangs, and musicals* lections by Mrs. J. W. Cross. Mr*. Jeeko. Messrs. Whipple, Park hurst, and iecko, completed the program which wus thoro ughly enjoyed by the large company. At the commencement of the season of 1881 ?2? there was a formal reorganization of the club with Miss Saxton as director, Capt. Rogers a? treasurer, and Mrs. Robinson as secretarv. The practice of the preceding season was con tinued, and many new plays were read by the club, among them being "Katharine and Pe truonlo," "King John," and "Macbeth." The last named was given at the residence of Mr. Ueo. N. Lamphere, and was an occasion of great Interest. The east of characters was as fpjjows: AfocbrfA, Mr. C. H. Babbett; Duncan, Male (Am, A. A.

Mr. Babbett displayed excellent tr?f.ic ability in the trying role of IfZZ" Miss Saxton surpassed all her former ellbrts ln the part which has been made famous by the greatest tragic actresses upon the stage. THE ELEMEHT OF 8COCWR. One reason why these readings of the Round Table club were so enjoyable was the fact that, although the club was essentiallv a reading club, and made no pretentions as an acting or ganization, yet, at the Invitation entertain ments the parts of the principal characters were generally committed to memory and full dramatic action was given. This was com menced by Miss 8axton, who is an enthusiastic student of Shakespeare and who has admirable elocutionary ability, and her example was followed by the oilier members. Though the Round Tables have done eomnara tively little for the putt two years, they are still in existenoe, and will probably be heard from during the coming season. Messrs. Oiles and Thadaeus Shine and Miss Minnie shannon now hold good places upon the professional stage, and Miss Saxton has received several offers, which she has declined, preferring to wait until she can secure a footing in the legitimate Shakespearean roles for which she is fitted Amongthose who have been members of the Round Table Shakespeare Club may be men U0^Er;,C^%Mu?,,^Ca4?t- R the office.

New York, Monday evening, was a success as a spectacle. The scenery and brilliant light effects were generally praised, though most of the critics showed a disposition to quietly ridicule the whole thing. Including the author's Grant hymn and his speech before the curtain at the end of the first act. Mr. Frederick Warde, the tragedian, opens the season at the Cleveland opera house on San d iy, the 27th instant. Agnes Booth will be the leading lady at the Madison Square theater, New York, the coming season. Edna Carey will be the star of the "Shadows of a Great City" company this year. Joseph Jefferson will himself superintend the rehear sals of the company in New York. Francis Wilson.the comedian, now playing In "Nanon," at the New York Casino, has suf fered a good deal from the effects of a sword thrust Just under the right eye received at the hands of Mr. Fitzgerald one night last week. The injury, which at first it was thought might result seriously, is no longer a cause ot anxiety. Mr. Wilson misled but one performance. His part was filled acceptably at short notice by Harry Standish. W. EL Sheridan tells a new York reporter "I shall open the season on September 8, at Wllkesbarre, Pa., playing through the oil re fion and out to Chicago, where I shall be seen he week of September 20.

Prom the New Tort World. A curious phase of the late Dtlke scandal la the sympathy shown the recreant lower by his fiance on learning the unpleasant revelations. There are so few exceptions to the ordinary Im pulses governing human nature In such esses that the public was struck dnmb with surprise when It read the Intelligence that the lady who was engaged to Sir Charles telegraphed her con dolence to him In his difficulty, and bade him to Immediately announce their engagement and coming marriage. It is quite probable that no one was more surprised than Sir Charles himself. This lady who has leaped Into notoriety in this unique manner Is the widow of the late Mark Paulson, the distinguished author aud scholar and rector of Lincoln Collage, Oxford. She is at present traveling In India She Is a lady of culture and even brilliancy, and Is the author of a meritorious work on "The Renais sance ot Art in France," illustrated by herself. Sue has likewise figured as a leader In the wo man's rights agitation In England, having acted as chairwoman at their meetings on several oc casions. She is a daughter of Col. Strong, of the Madras army, who, alter having allowed a large fortune to slip from him through ill-ad vised investments, accepted the presidency of a bank in the town of Oxford. He was a man of literary tastes and lond of art, especially paint ing. His family consisted of his wife and two daughters, the elder of whom married the Rev. Mr. 1 ucknell, of New College, and the second of whom is the present flancg of Sir Charles Dilke. She was then entering her teens. She is described as being at that time a bright, vivacious elrl, with a prettv lace and engaging manners. Rev. Dr. James Thomson, a man of brusque manners and a noted bon-vlvant, was rector of Lincoln college at that period. "He had." says an ex change, "been brought np from his country liv ing and elected to the headship by a clique of Fellows who were resolved toprevent Mark Pat tison's election, because he was nervous and uuclubabie, and cared neither for wine, beer, cards or tobacco. On one occasion, addressing the rosy Emily Frances Strong, who in due time became Mrs. Paulson, and is to be Lady Dilko. he pinched her cheeks and praised their fresuness, and as he gulped down another large tumbler of old port?for he disdained the not sufficiently capacious wine-glass?bade her be ware her elder sister's pallor; which, said this rectorial D. D., 'I'll wager Is caused by reading sermons In bed.'" At this time Mark Pattison was a country rector, having found it Impossible to submit to the restrictions imposed ou him by Dr. Thom son. After the latter's death Pattison was elected rector of Lincoln In his place. Miss Emily Strong was now grown to be a beautiful young woman. "Her candor and vivacity," says the writer quoted, "gained her the reputa tion of a flirt, and many an undergraduate was plucked, because when he should have been grinding at the classics his mind languished for Emily Strong. Many a careworn youth who, for her sake, had been plucked for Ittlego, wuld walk out with throbbing breast to Iffley church, a famous Norman church she was fond of attending. In the hope of repeating his Te Deuin within sight of her and winning from her one of her beaming rec ignitions and intox icating smiles. But Emily, though she loved youth, loved age and station more, and when the nervous, bashful ami mature Mark Pattison proposed for her she cast overboard, perhaps with some natural tears soon dried, the youth ful admirers and candidates who had basked in the delusive sunshine of her smiles." The marriage was not a happy one. The latter years of Mark Paulson's life were embittered by domestic Infelicities. Iu his "Memoirs," which the lair Emily edited after his death, he tells us that his whole life was made wretched "by th" combined sense of self-consciousness and self-humiliation." During the last years of their married life Mrs. Patiison lived almost entirely abroad, and the rector's pretty house at Lincoln would have been desolate but for the welcome presence of a favorite niece, in whom ho took much pride. While his wife found pleasure in travel and society he sought solace in his books and philo sophical studies. The spring of 1883 found blin, pickaxe in hand, en route to Poitiers in pursuit ol knowledge. He visited Nantes, New Kochelle and many of the little towns of "Old France," which he styled "the real France lull of things curious from on-j end to the other." This journey was a great strain on his already worn aud enfeebled frarr.e, aud he died shortly alter his return to Oxfoi d, July 30, la84. His lair relict, after the proper time had elapsed, devoted herself with renewed zeal to that pur suit of pleasure she had sought outside the domestic circle. Few persons knew her pres ent whereabouts till she startled the public the other da> by telegraphing her symj.atny from ludia to Sir Charles D.Ike, and bidding him announce their engagement as a sort of viudi cation. as It were, of Lis ruisMup iu falling be tween the two stools of his pretty French mis tress and the gay Mrs. C aw ord. Women A-St raddle. From the London Telegraph. Little surprise need be telt In these days at the announcement that application has Just been made by a liege lady to the Belgian Jockey club for permission to ride In .cattle men's races. Madame Stroobants?lor such is the fair Amazon's name?has enter* t a horse of her own lor ti e Prix des Dames vi Louvan, and threatens that, in the event ol hi i pet'tion being rejected, she will go to the scales and Insist on her ri^ht to be weighed as an ord'narv Jockey. We may as-ime that it is her intention to don boots and breeches, a:ter the fashion set by the professional he-semen of England, and also to ride upon a man's saddle, for Madame Stroobants can hardly be ignorant?the famous race between Mrs. Thornton a. d Frank Buckle at York, to the contrary n- twithstandiug? that ?he dispo>ltion of a lad/'s weight upon a side-saddle gives great advantage to her more equally balant -1 antagonist of tne other se^. In England the Iad:i*? who have hitherto dis tinguished themselves as race riders against time and against male antagonists were always content to confine tnemselves to the side sad dle. No passage of turf history is belter known than that connected with the two races at York, in the first or which Mrs. Thornton, nom inally. though not really, the wifeol Col.Tho.-n tou, of Thornville Royal, was beaten by Mr. Flint, while in the second she defeated the cele brated jockey Frank Buckle. The races in ques tion took place over York race course iu 1804 and l&oo, and the last of the t %vo afforded a subject for the picture painted by Benjamin Marshall, of which many engravings still hang upon the wallsof Yorkshire couutry houses and wayside inns. "The lady of CoC Thornton," says Pierce E^an In his "sporting Anecdotes," "is equally attached to the sports of tiie field with her distinguished husband, and the singu lar oon test which took place in 1804 between Mrs. Thornton aud Mr. Flint stands recorded as one of the most remarkable occurrences which ever happened in the annals of the turf." In the course ot one of their equestrian excur sions in Thornville park Mrs. Thornton and Mr. Flint had a dispute as to the respective merits of their horses. V'lngarillo, ridden by the lady in her habit, contrived to distance Mr. Flint, when they submitted their horses to a competitive examination, and the gen tleman was so chagrined that be challenged his fair conquerer. who was a very pretty woman, to meet him in public at York. The match jumped with Col. Thornton's humor, and it was agreed that it should come off on the last day of the York meeting in 1804. It was concluded ou the following terms: "A match lor 500 guineas, with a bye bet of l.OOO guineas, lour miles, between Col. Thorn ton's Vingarillo and Mr. Flint's Thornville* Mrs. Thornton to ride the former, catch weight* against Mr. Flint." Never, according to a local Journal, were so many people?at least 100,000 in number?assembled upon Knavesmireas on August 25, 1804. to witness this unparalleled match. The ground was kept and the course cleared by the tflb light dragoons, "which was unquestionably the cause ot many lives being saved." At the commencement of the race the odds were live and six to four on the ladv, but in running the last mile the odds turned found in favor of Mr. Flint, who took the lead and kept it without difficulty. Mrs. Thornton used every exertion to win, but when she found that vic tory was out of the questiou she pulled up her horse "In the nnrnt sportsmanlike style," a couple of distances trom home. "Never, surely," says tiie enthusiastic reporter, "did a woman ride in better form. It was difficult to say whether her horsemanship, her dress, or her beauty wa> most admired, but the tout ensem ble was unique." The body of her habit was leopard colored, with blue sleeves, the skirt being buff and the cap blue. Mr. Flint rode in white. >o words could express Mrs. Thornton's dis appointment at her ue:eat, and the "ungallant conduct of Mr. Flint," whose only offense seeius to have been that he vanquished a pretty woman, was severely reflected upon. It was said that not less than ?200,000 were staked upon the match, and the universal admiration for the fair s?x with which Yorkshire was cred ited. and which she has not yet lost, Inflicted a heavy loss upon backers of ail ages. Warning toCiiris Aloae Is the Streets. From the New York Herald, August 14. Mary Welti, a fair young woman, of 18 years, with a pretty face, on Thursday told the follow ing story to the relief clerk at the office of the New York commissioner? ol charities and cor rection, and during it* relation wept bitterly, t Miss Welt* was accompanied by her sister, who i is married to a merchant of this city. One even ing about six months ago Mary was walking along Grant street, when she was accosted by a young man nam^d John Miller. She impru dently responded to his greeting. They walked about the streets together for several hours, and when they parted tuey were engaged to be mar 1 ried. A few days later they went to a strange house in Graud street, where he Introduced her to a man who was dressedjin a black suit, a Prinoe Albert coat and had a btack moustache. They were married, as she believed st the time, ana went out for a walk. They returned to the tarns house, where they remained until morning, i Her supposed husband then advised her to go to her home, No. 282 Withers street, saying that r as soon as he could make the necessary ar i rangements they would go to housekeeping. She i told her parents she had stopped at her sister's, so there was no suspicion awakened In. their minds at the Ume. She frequently met Miller and upbraided him for not providing a home i for her. About a month ago be disappeared, and she then dlsctoaed her secret marriage and i desertion to her parents, who turned her oat of i doors. Her sister1* husband also refused b*r an i asylum, and she was finally compelled to seek i the assistance of the commissioners of eharlttes and correction. 8ns was sent to the ooanty hospital, Flatbush.

Perhaps the very breadth and stature, eo to speak, of this burlesque, overshadowing and putting to shame all other modern bur lesques, gives It strength and vitality, for It Is enjoyed with as keen a relish in the south, where the negifo is supposed to be known, as it Is In any part of the north, where all that Is known of the negro Is that he was a slave, and that he has what may be called a humorous turn. In Georgia, for Instance, we have long ago ceased to ask ourselves why the stage negro arv Pears In variegated clothes, with his ooat-tails dragging the floor, or why It U that his paste board shirt collars threaten to scrape the hard oil finish from the moon, or why his buttons are as large as saucepans. We have long af o ceased to remember that the negro was and is any thing but a comic character; that he made no puns and asked no conundrums. Under the vital influence of the stage we have even ceased to remember his seriousness, a feature inten sified rather than lightened by his humor.

Whether he was moved by a desire to Insure the personal saiety of his friend, or merely by a denire to impress a youngster's mind with statements that seemed at tbe time to be tbe inventions of tbe wildest imagination, but which turned out to be literally true. It is impossible to say. But Harbert was better informed and more accu rate than the newspapers of the day albeit bis method of dispensing the news seemed votaae tbe somewhat picturesque shape of prophecy. There can be no doubt that this negro?and, of course, others In that section?knew that Sherman's armv would maich through Put nam and by the Turner plantation. The mystery is not such a mystery after all. Plautatlon discipline was severer lu form than In lact. It was a rule, tor instance, that negroes should not vUit neighboring plantations with out the written consent oi their owners?this written consent taking the shape ot a pass. A negro without thispa.->s was lia'jle to b1' caught and punished by tbe patrol. As a ui titer of fact, however, the patrol exercise! Its functions of visiting from plantation to planta tion only at long Intervals, and even during the war period, when most of the able-bodied men were in the confederate army, its vigilance was not measurably increased. The result was that a neg.-o ruely thought of asking ior a pans unless he hnd occasion io make a journey that would c Try him to a strange neighborhood. He visited his friends joJ acquaintances with out let or hindrance, and there was a constant coining and going among the plantations at all times of ihe night. Beating a Railroad. SOME OF THE DODOES EMPLOYED TO FOOL CON DOCTORS. "It's a good deal of fun to beat a conductor out ot a ride once In a while," said a travel ing man to a Cleveland Piaindealer reporter. "Conductors generally think they are sharper than any one else, und that's the reason I like to lool them. Well, a friend and myself put up a job. We both want r-ea. The conductor comes around, takes up his ticket and puts n check in my hat. Wben he gets out of the car I tear the check in two. I put half in my hat, my friend puts the other in his hat; we lean back in our seats, read our papers and Day nu attention to ilie conductor when he comes through. When we are near Toledo, however, it is ne ce-sarv for each to have a ticket or check. Mv friend jumps oil' at tbe first sta tion this side and buys a ticket into Toledo forabout ten cents. Then when tue conductor come? around to take up the checks we both have something to give him. A.ter we get off we 'whaoK up' on what has been saved. There s some work about it, of eoursc; but we don't mind that. At other time-, we would piay the losing dodge on the conductor. For instance^ I I buy a ticket to Bere;i, but stay on tbe train after that station is parsed. The conductor comes around, and. seeing no check in my hat. Inquires for it. I have lost it somwhete on the floor or seat; I will find It in a minute. The conductor parses on down the car to collect lares, and as soon as he is by us I take my friend's check and hold it up. 'Hello, conduc tor, I've found It.' 'All right,' aud the conduc tor goes on his way. At other times, being alone, I declare when the conductor asks for my check that be gave me none. He is generally positive at flr?t that be did, but I am just as positive that he didn't?he must have forgot ten it, and at last he came to that conclusion also, and I g, some iignter mixed animal and vegetable soups, and also n>:h, ior which teeth are barely necessary, are particularly valuable and appropriate. And the man with Imperfect teeth who con forms to nature's demand for a mild, non stimulating dietary in advanced years will mostly be blessed with a better di gestion and sounder health than the muo who. thanks to his artiucial machinery, can cat and dees eat as mac. flesh in quantity and variety as he did in the Jays of hie youth. Far be if from me to undervalue the truiy ur tistlc achievements or a clever and experienced dental surgeon,or the comfort which he affords". By all means let us have recourse to his aid when our natural teeth fall, for the purpose of I voCi*l articulation, to say nothing of their rela tion to personal appearance; on such grounds the artificial substitute rank among the neces saries of life in a civilized community. Only let It be understood that the chief end of teeth, so far as mastication is concerned, nas in ad vancing aje been, to a great extent, accom plished, and lnut they are now mainly useful tor the purposes just named. But I cannot help adding that there are some grouuds for t'ie benef that tho :e who have througnout li.e fr>m their earliest years consumed little or no flesh, but ba?e l'ved on a diet cniefly or wholly vegi utriau, will be fojnd to have pre-erved tliHr leetli longer tliiin tiios*' wl>o have always made flesh a prominent part of their daily iood. ?.sir Jfrnry Tnu/npson, in Popular Science Monthly.

Tbe Training of Waiter*. From the New Yorlc Tribune. A Tribnnk reporter, who was taking lunch the other day, notic d a waiter who served an American, a Frenchman and a German within a few minutes and answered the questions put by each in his own tongue with tbe greatest facility. Of course this is not unusual in res taurants of the best class In New York. But the reporter was prompted to chat a little with tbe waiter, when the latter was at leisure. He begau with the remark: "l presume that waiters have to be pretty well acquainted with languages?" "Oh, ye"," was the reply, "that Is, If they want to hold a good position. A fellow that doesn tknow anything but English finds It mighty hard to get a position in New York, ex cept in a ten-cent restaurant. And it's the cheap fellows that ruin the business, too. That's why people get to look dowu on waiters so. They see lhe>e fellows that don't bait un derstand their business in these cheap restau ants, and they condemn them all as ordinary fellows. "Now, in Europe," he continued, "boys are trained to be waiters just as they are here trained to the different professions. Wheu a bov is, say about 13 or 14, alter he has got a common school education, he is apprenticed to some restaurant or hotel keeper. The first year or so he is kept In the cellar washing bottles, or doing work connected directly with the kitohen, as for instance, killing and cleaning fowls, etc. Then he gets acquainted with the different grades of wines, studies somewhatot book-keep ing and learns the different things that belong to his profession. Then he begl lis to serve as an uuder-waiter. Or, as is frequently the case, a man, say a hotel keeper, wants to train up his bo> s to the profession. After going through an apprenticeship, he will send them to the differ* ent cities of Europe so they may learn the cu? toms and manners of the different people. "Rather an expensive thing," the reporter suggested. "Not very," the waiter replied, "butthen they are not making money during those two or three years they may be away. Of course you know that many of the hotels in Europe are different from those heie. Here there Is a head clerk or bookkeeper who has charge of all ac counts. makes out bills and so forth. Now there tbe waiters do all that. That's why they study bookkeeping. You see when a family occupies a room or rooms one waiter serves them with meals, takes care of checking baggage, makes out all bills of expense, in short nas in charge everything connected wltn the guests." "There's one bad thing about It," he resumed after a reflective pause, "In Europe waiters can't get married." "Can't get married?" "Well, they can't get positions if they do. And again they don't want a man over forty. So at torty you see a waiter is practically laid on the shelf." "It's rather hard on them," the reporter re marked by way of a stimulant. "Yes, and then a fellow can't do much better here. Now say a man gets 930a month besides his food. If he has a family, as I have, he has a pretty tough time of It." "How about fees?" "Well, waiters depend a good deal on that. In any first-class restaurant the customers are generally pretty liberal. It's Just like yotfr say ing to the expressman: *1 want my trunk taken up stairs,' and in addition to the twenty-five cents lor expressage you drop him ten or fifteen cents extra for his extra work.

It Is about two and a half acme In ex tent, and pays a nominal rental of rather more than ?5; a temporary reduction of 2ft per cent h?vlnf? however, been oonoeded daring the last two or three years by the pro prietor. Near the center of the croft Uawa of ?tickv mnd; and amid the slough are two very email stacks of corn, each about nine feet high i by six In diameter, carefully thatched and cov ered with old nets to prevent their being scat* tared to the winds. Close at hand u the bouse?a building of rongh, nnmortared stone, measuring perhaps ten feet by twenty, and very thickly roofed; first, with "dav lt? of turf, then with a close thatch of heather, and finally with fragments of ooaixe netting weighted with lumps of gray trap. The door is broken, and will not shut properly; there Is no i of a more than three square way, and from a small hole In the low roof, volumes of peat pmoke escape; and when I en tered the hut I could not for several minutes distinguish anything within, owing to the dende fumes tbat rose from a scanty fire smouldering on the floor in the middle of the gloomy room. At last my eyes became accustomed to the semi-darkness, and I was able to make out the forms of the inmates of the hovel. They sat huddled together on a low black settle, warm ing themselves, and greedily watching a bat teredpot that, suspended from an improvised tripod above the fire, contained a quantity of thin broth, the main ingredients of which were, as I afterward discovered, potatoes and fish. I shared the poor people's meal of broth and oaten cake, while the smoke curled upward and bung beneath the roof in an impenetrable cloud, the whole making, with the festooned fishing-nets aud the tattered oilskins on the walls, an intorior which Tenters would have de lighted to paint, if there had been any Jolity in the scene. There was no table; but at one end of the room there was a shaky dresser on which was arranged a poor display of cracked crockery and rusty tins. The inside of the house was divided by means of rotten partitions about six feet in height into three small chambers, one being the living room, a second a bed room, and the third a lumber and store room. In the bed room the clothes were simply old rags and sacking, barely sufficient to cover poor human ity, and the floor throughout was formed, so far as I could see. of tne hard earth. Yet this house of the Macdonalds was a palace in com parison with some of the huts I visited else where. One had neither door nor window. I crawled into it through an irregular aperture less than three feet high, and found myself mong some ducks tbat were picking up scraps from amid the garbage with which the damp floor was littered. The sole tenant of this hovel was an old woman who bad a backing cough. In another hut the rain-water dripped from tne broken roof and Hooded the only room, in which seven people sat crouching. >ne might reasonably expect to find that the people who live In such wretchedness are stunted and evil-looking. But they are not. They are a tbick-set. Intelligent race, and some of the girl* are models of buxomness, although before middle-age all the women beeome with ered. They are long-lived, too. Their laults are that they are idle and saturated with super stition and prejudice. In only one out of at least a score of crofters' houses which I entered did I see any sl^n that the inmates regularly devoted themselves to remunerative home em ployment. In that one. two womeu were weaving home-spun tweed, aud capital cloth thev made on their awkw.-rd loom. I am glad to be able to say that most of the Skve laud lords wear this tweed when they can get it; but if there were a wider demand there would be a larger supply, and the i.-la.iders would l?e proportionately beneUted. Until quite recently there were weavers in almost every towntlilp, and the art might be easily revived. The crofters can now get cheaper material for them selves from Manchester, and it Is alrmwt exclu sively the ricaer lasses who use tweed of the island. A Case of Mixed Babies. A Torso GEKMAN WHO SAYS THAT HE IS REALLY A YOUNG MAN NOW LIVING IN DE TKOIT. From the Detroit Evening Journal. The papers in a very strange case are being prep.;red by n well-known law firm in this city. The e:?f-e I- an action In Indictment, la which the plaintiff is Joseph B. Motzand the defend ant a young man by the name ol Hylebrone, aUas Metz. Tbe dispute between the parties is In reforence to a large farm located in the north eastern part of this -^tate. The defendant in the action lias been living on the farm for the past five years, and is known among tbe utigh'>oi"8 as Joseph Mctz. The story of the plaintiff' to his It. vyer is as follows: About nine years ago Joseph Metz, a Teuton, residing in the southern pari of Germany, with his good wife C-ntha. ine und his live sturdy boys, started for the United Stales. From the sale ol bis real e.state he realized about 330,000, aud with this sum he waj able to buy a weli tilled farm with a comfortable dwelling in the eivstern part or the state, aud sti.l have a neat nmoimtoi cash besides. He lived on tbe farm for live veurs, but finally the desire t j die in bis native land took sucii a bold on him that in 1880 he and his wife made a deed ot the farm to the supposed eldest son, the pre-ent occu pant, and returned to Germany. His death occurred about a year a-.ro. The strangest yv-t narrative transpired alter his return to Oennany. It appeared that at the time young Metz. the present occuoant oi t.ie farm, was born there lived in the vicinity of Metfc's place a woman by tiie name of Mrs. Hylebrone. S..e was employed at various times as nurse in Metz's household, aud was present at tbe time young Metz was born. This woman made some startling disclosures to the old man Metz ju?t before his death, which In substance were as Jollows: At the tune of the birth of the child she also had an infant sou, and, although .-lie was verv poor, site desired that her son should be raised iu aLUuence. As she had the eutire control of vouugMetz she one night afiei the infant's birth substituted her own etiiid aud took Met/, to raise. The family never discovered this, uud young Hylebrone grew up co manhood as Joseph Metz. She said that she had always regretted the act, but was afraid to tell the truth. The real Metz has always been kuown as hor son. The scenes at the father's deathbed when these facts were brought out were affecting In the ex treme. Tbe father refused at first to belie ve the woman's statement aud to recognize the youug man us bis son; but Anally, by circumstantial evidence, the truth of the woman's statement dawned upon him. and he received his newly found son. The revelation was as unexpected to the sen as to the father. A few days later Mr. Metz died, and, after wuiting a short time in the old country, the son enmo to this city to commence proceedings against the possessor of the estate in America. He claim* tbat he can eject the present occu pant, as the deed was made to Joseph Metz, and ho has the facts in his possession to prove that he Is the party intended. Hylebroue was natu rally very much surprised when the foregoing statement was made to him. He refused to bedeve It, aud declares that there is a con spiracy to defraud him out of bis rights. His mother is also lu the city, having left Germany in company with Meiz. She says she is very sorry T>r what she has done, and it will be her life work for the remainder ol her existence to bring matters out right. When the case comes to trial It will probably be one of the most sensa tional ones ever tried in the state. Mrs. Hyle brone, the author of the deception, is a good looking German woman, and appears to be about forty years of age. She savs tbat her only desire in doing it was to benefit her child, and that she did not realize at the time the terrible wrong she was committing against the babes. The farm is worth $25,000, as it is in good condition. Metz Is married, but has no children. ?s> A Still Walts by the Sea. Clara Belle at Ocean Grcve. A curious couple caught my eye down at Ocean Grove the other day and Just about the game time the parents ot the feminine mem ber caught them. They were standing on the shore of Wesley lake, which Is a little sheet of I water separating the great Methodist resort from Anbury Park. It was evening.- An awn ing screened them from casual observation. The music of a waltz came across the moonlit lake trom a ball that was going on in an Aa bury hotel. The young man's right arm en circled the maiden's waist and his left band clasped her hand, while their faces were close together enough to touch If they didn't. "HI there, Sophy," said the lather. But they didn't let go. nUn thprp Hnnhv no "Ho, there, Sophy,,rsald the mother. Still they remained entwined. "We're doing no harm," coolly explained the grl. 'This Is a still waltz. The taw of Ocean rove forbids dancing, but It doesn't say tbat a couple shan't assume the attitudes of waltz ers and stand motionless to the music across the lake." ?o> Rain of Fiery Coals. ODD STORIES ABOUT LITTLE BOTH WHO TCMMU> INTO RAILWAY CATTLE GUARDS. From the Charlotte (N. C.) Observer. "You may look out," said a locomotive driver to a reporter, yesterday, "to get another looal something like the one yon had a few days ago j about the boy kelng killed.** On being asked to explain, the engineer stated that yesterday he was startled to see a colored boy run on the j track In front ol the approaching train. On getting between the rails tbe boy seemed to melt down into tbe ground and the engineer knew that tbe little Imp had Jumped down Into a cattle guard to let the train thunder over him. A curve was Just beyond the cattle guard, and as the train rounded this tbe engineer looked back from his cab window and saw the boy crawling out of tbe hole, unharmed, but doubtlees thoroughly charmed by his expert-: enoa. Instanoes of this kind used to he frequent1 about Charlotte, but the engineer states tbat this Is the first he had known since 187a His firebox was dropping coals, and a little darkey hsd (net sunk into a cattle guard ahead of him. Before he could stop the coals trom tailing he reached tbe cattle guard, and tbe little negro was almost roasted alive under the shower of eoals that dropped on him. "Ill tell yon," re* pea ted the engineer, "you may look out tor another big looal, tor it's coming." sold in Pickens a short time a^o tor SI* end the mrrth astir asked lor make the first payment, and the sailer agreed to let him have tweafty years or until It was oonvenlent^.4Meeou't criticise me, but criticise vourself.

The Habit* of Eels. A PIKE COUNTY HSHEKMAN ANSWERS THE IN QUIRIES OK NATURALISTS. From the Wayne County Herald. We notice in ihe Stroudsburg Democrat a statement that a naturalist has offered S50 to anyone who will explain the breeding habits of the eel, and that there is not a tisherman who can distinguish male from female, and the latter have rarely fa:ien under the notice of the naturalist. If the naturalist who makes'that otter and who does not beii.-ve that there is a l.1.n"uer *t*ted. The female eel is known to i I4!1 Cr? Dtlu*,!re rtver fishermen, and Is alwavs the fihjt run-caught* in the weirs. When the I mules start down stream they are very poor and the fishermen cull them culllngs, and take' their weirs out, considering the males worth le V female eel Lever bites at a oalted hook or bob, and consequently all eels caught In that way are males. The spawu of" eeU N found on each side of the stomach, aud Is -eneraliv suit posed to ?>e eel fat, a* no lorm of the egc can be ofc^n. *1 a person will take a knife biade and press a portion of this substance fiat on a haid surtace, the form of the e^gs will be brought out by the pressure. Mr. Sawyer was the Urst i?er son who made this fact known, and investi gation., made since by pisciculturists have es tablished it beyond doubt. Anyone stun ling early in June on the banks ol the Delaware or any stream communicating with the sea' ;:i which eels are caught, may see a large olui'ii ifreak mo*, lug up stream, near the shore Closer examination will show that this strange object is made up os thousands upon thou sands of living creatures, none of them larger than a milliner's needle. They are young eels which have been hatched in the iiiad at ana below tide water, and which are on their wav to their summer homes in the rivers and creek's that empty into it. By the time thev reach the upper waters they have grown to a length oi three inches, and when they run down In the fall tbey will be a loot long. The fact that eels will travel around obstacles in streams l?v land to get to water above is also well e.tabiished. 1 lay must have grassy or mo*sy ground to travel orer, however, and it must be during or ai ter a rain, or by ulglit, while the grass is Wet with dew. Lels naturaiiy go to the water to breed, but if they are In enclosures from which n vl eHcaPe. hey will breed there, pro idea the bottom of tbe enclosure is muadv salt water eels, or the eels of Long Island, all ways travel to the ocean in the spring instead of the fall, unlike the fresh water eels.

The LmI Child of Lily dale. FOOTSORE AMD FORLORN, LIKE THE BABES IN j TIIE WOODS WHOX THE BOBBINS COVERED. From the Melbourne A rgus. A remarkable Instance of endurance and of the possibility ol living without food for three weeks has recently come to light. On the 12th ot May a girl named Clara Crosby, 12 years old was lost in the bush in the Lilydale district! about twenty-live mllese from Melbourne. The locality in which she disappeared is wild and mountainous, and. alter several search parties h,?d unsuccessfully scoured it, it was con cluded thatshe bad perished In some inaccessi ble spot. It is probable, however, that she would have been found promptly bad not erroneous information been given to th* search parties that she bad been seen proceed ing in acertaiu direction. On the 2d of June Ju>t tbre$ weeks after she was lost, two men' who were looking for a strayed horse in some dense scrub in the locality, heard a fkinr "coo-ee." ,The men searched, and soon saw the little girl tottering toward them, in an ulscer without shoes or stockings on, and in an emacl ated condition. She was, however, stramre to say, quite sensible. When she lost herselfth^ was proceeding from a house where she had been staying to her mother's, in the neighbor hood, and she subsequently gave the following account of her adventures: owing "I got out of the paddocEs on to the road all right, and Went on a long way; but I did not see mother's house. I followed some sheep and they ran away from me. I lay down InA had a little sleep by a path In some long gra*? and then I went on again.

THE EVENING 8TARr WAIH1XOT p?N: 1TTMAT...? Af?t ?a. 1MI. CftMIT IOTH Editor. Tl? Emhii kx a nnhus pis n m baaa Me dail v etrealatlea mrf than trebis that of ut other teilr pej?er paktuM la HuMitm, urf HMl la that of all th? ?tiff dally papersherejidrfed taptfter. Tbe alleged break between Til den and tb? administration mult be taktn with more than the uaual (rraio of salt. Still the report ia plausi ble. tor Tllden haa never shown himself a warm friend of Cleveland, and ha may feel loo* favor ably inclined than ever now in view of the dis regard which tha President displayed tor his recommendations In respect to tha New York city appointments. However, it would be very unlike Tlldan to let any resentment he might 'eel show in bis conduct. If Til den really has broken with the admin istration and has derided to fight it. that is his {rlvilege a? an American citiaen. But, not to lince words, it is another proof that the once keen and aubtle politician la In his dotage. No private citizen, however great bis genius, or his olaims on the nation's gratitude and regard, can tight the President with the slightest suc cess. That truth has bean demonstrated over and over again. The odds are too great. Tilden would be crushed Just as Grant, tor Instance, was overridden when ha threw himself Into the breach to save Conkling and Piatt. It is not a question of individuals, but Is a battle between a man and a machine. Personalty Tilden might still wield a greater influence than Cleveland, But tha President of tha United States would ride over the sage of Ureyatone as tbe steamship City ol Rome recently cut down a fishing schooner on the banks without jarring the pas sengers of the great ship from their sleep. Our history is s*.rewn with the wrecks of great men who have measured their individual strength against that of the government. In two or three instances, also, a whoie party has broken with Its chief. But even then the Presi dent has won. His power. In tact, is almost irresistible. In his single person he represents under the Constitution a power equal to that of all the Senators and Representatives, or of the Supreme Court, and by tbe course of events bis authority is practically in excess of what the framersofthe Constitution intended. His chief oheck in our day is not so much in lejral re straints as in the moral Influence of public opinion. An administration that has the con fidence of the masses of the people has little to fear from the hostility of any individual or even of any party. The rumored purchase ol Sir. Connor's yacht by the Colombian government for service as a var vessel suggests that we have a class of useful ships in reserve against a sudden emer gency We possess tow large vessels that could be altered into men-ot-war with the facility with which the British government made over tbe Oregon, Umbrla and other fast merchant steamers into cruisers, but we have fleets of swift yachts which in an emergency might do good service as commerce-destroyers, torpedo boats, and the like. In the early days of the Civil war, it will be remembered that even ex cursion and ferry boats were dratted into ser vice. and did mnch useful work. The condi tions of naval warfare have materially changed since that time, and still there is a place for un armed ships of high speed. And the readiness with which one of these cruisers may be extem porised out of tbe pleasure boats that flit about our coasts has been shown by the Rclion of a neighboring government to which allusion has been made. A hundred ton steam yacht armed with a long ranee gun and well handled by brave and expert naval officers would not make an insignificant man-of-war. Opinions are divided as to whether MNs Ad die Brlnkle, who was confined for twenty Sevan years In a Pennsylvania Insane asylum, deserved to be there or not. But certainly th e officers and attendants of the asylum Justify their action in the case by tbe most extraor dinary, not to say insane, arguments. They say that they judged the lady to be insane be cause she had an over-fondness for finery, was fussy and troublesome, always spoke of dress ing in the fashions, and usually put on airs when gentlemen were about and acted in a ?illy manner. Her entire conversation, It seems, was upon dress and the fashions If these are the symptoms of insanity, it Is certain that a very great number of female mamlacs are running at large, and mafty at them very charming maniacs, too. In fact, such a description of Insanity goes far to prov^ the theory that we are all more or less tnad. A metal decorating company of New York, wa are told, has submitted a memorial tablet for the proposed Grant monument bearing these words: "To perpetuate the memory of Ulysses 8. Grant. He led the victorious armies of his country. He died its honored citizen. He freed the slaves. He reconciled brethren. He saved the Union. It Is appointed unto all men once to die, but the feme or virtue is immortal." We are not told who composed this extraordi nary string of Alfred Jingle sentences; possibly Mr. Squire, the city hall poet. Short as the edlogy Is. It manages to mangle both history and scripture, and would be a thoroughly ab surd epitaph. _ There was quite as great a destruction of Mne of-battle ships yesterday off Plum Beach, as in Hampton Roads just before the little Monitor hove in sight in the war times, but the flre causes much less apprehension. The Colorado, Minnesota, Susquehanna, Congress, South Caro lina and Iowa were all consumed, and still it was not a terrible naval disaster, but on the contrary rather a dignified end to a group of old hulks that had outlived their usefulness, and which were being pulled to pieces for tbe Iron In their carcases, much as a grave yard ghoul might rob a corpse of its treasures of dentistry. After the customary sputtering by discon tented individuals, the democratic party In its series of state conventions is cordially endors ing the administration. The President's course has now been formally approved by the party In New Hampshire, New York, Iowa, Missis sippi and Ohio, sitting in convention or through some other representative body. And. no doubt this will hold true of the party at large.

TM audience vti not very large. The speakers were by no means annul rnous In their various proposals ot reform, but all were very enthusiastic. A significant thct was that the amendment moved by a socialist, asserting that the best curs tor these evils would b* for employers of women's labor to give them fair wages, was only lost by a tow otes. To-day's demonstration is arranged n a urge soaie, but it will probably be affected by the wet weather. Immense Demonstration fta Hylc Far*. By Associated 1'rea*. _ Loxdox, August 22.?The bishop of London has Issued to be read In the chorch?s of his dlo? cese to-morrow a stirring pastoral on the sub ject of the protection of young girls. Mr. 8toad, editor of the Pall Mall Qasettt, In an address before the national conference for the protection or young girls In St. James Hall, absolved the Salvation army from all blame for the alleged abduction of Sarah Armstrong. The firl smother publicly charged that the Saiva ion army coaxed the girl from home, and then detained her for tbe purpose of exhibiting hsr a* a victim of London vice reclaimed by ths ai m v. Mr. Stead declared himself responsible for the talcing of the girl away from home, and he said she was taken away simply because her home was steeped In vice. The morality demonstration at Hyde Par* this afternoon promises to be attended by an enormous crowd.

Pastor Downes' Defense. HE EXPLAINS TO HIS CONGREGATION HOW ONE MAT BE PLACED IN A COMPROMISING POSITION WHILE DISCHARGING THE DUTIES Or A CLERGYMAN. There was a tremendous crowd at the Bow doln Square church prayer meeting in Boston last evening. The Rev. Mr. Downes presided as usual, and was as self-possessed as though the town was not talking about him. His text was the 16th chapter of Isaiah, and It gave him an opportunity to allude to the recent scandal regarding himself. He said people seemed naturally to open their hearts to him to tell their troubles and rely on him for sympathy and consolation. Things often happened, Mr. Downes continued, which at the time seemed difficult of explanation. There was one time he remembered when a lady friend had Just returned from a journey. The baggagemen had tied a rope around her trunk, ana Bhe was in distress because she could not untie the strong 1 sailor knots. She asked him (Mr. Downes) to help her, and he willingly did so. It was very warm, and the knots were very bard, so he took oft hit coat. But the knots still resisted, he con tinued, and so his vest was taken off also. What If some man had used a dumbbell then, and found him without bis coat and vest. Yet, 1 as the people could see, the matter was very easy of explanation. Another instance of mistaken evidence was cited by the pastor. **A clergyman," he said, "was called up one time and asked to go to an other house to minister comfort to a very sick lady. As was his duty, be went, and on enter ing tho room saw npon the bed a young lady apparently very pale. He spoke to her kind and soothingly, and probably took her hand in his, as would be very natural. Then he kuelt by her bed to pray, still holding her hand, and Just at that moment the door burst open, and In rushed fou# men. The house wus a house of ill-fame, and there that minister was dlsoovered in this compromising position. He grew morose ami sad thinking over the trouble which fol lowed. aud finally his friends discovered him hanging by a rope." Then Mr. Downes referred to the fact that he had not declined on account of the trouble, but. on the contrury, continued in good health ana spirits. He shouldn't hang himself. He had been advised to brace up and keep a stiff upper Up, and he intended to. Mr. Downes, Just be fore the sen-Ice closed, spoke of his study. Twenty to thlrty-flve persons, men and women, came there to see him every day. He gave them all the comfort be could, and oftentimes when they needed the comfort of prayer he knelt with them upon the floor. On suen occa sions be locked the door. It seemed the most 1 natural thing in the world for him to look the door at such times. Some callers were so impo lite as to bolt Into his study without knocking, and he thought that the prayer should not be interrupted lu that way. His counsel had advised him not to say much, hut be guessed they were not there, so he would tell a secret to the congregation, and with one hand held up to the moutn. In the way in which one imparts a confidential story, the minister told ol the declaration made to him that those who were managing this affair were unscrupul ous persous. Then be advised his people not to be astonished at anything that might happen. He really wouldn't be surprised If he was shot ?n his way home. They wots pounding him and hardsr, but ft was alway on the top flA fttal Ika *ti SS?^? 1 .a 4rr more firmly he was driven into the ground sta;kiS'S'u,. ctem or the servtee the masting sersuass: fifiwsisSH thywtoM^to pray for hesyenly help to him ?tu* u uJ THE comattt SCHOOL YEA*.

Cbloago Special to the V. T. Tribune, ftlsL Valentine Shuler, the hone trainer, Who made a sensation at Terr* Hants, lad^, recto day by eloping with Mlm Anna McKeen, the daughter of his employer, W. R. McKeen, |RW Ident of the Vandalla railroad, a sum et great wealth and the poeseesar of considerable Out trotting stock, arrived in Chicago at 7 o'clock to-day. The couple boarded the train at Evans ville, Ind., last night, and were recognised by the conductor, who had carried them thither from Terra Haute while they were in search of apreaoher to marry them. They took a sec tion In the sleeper and dtd not appear again until the train was entering Chicago this mora* conductor had Informed the brakeman who they were, and the brakeman had told the porter. From the porter the news spread through the train that the eloping couple were on board and the result was that when they appeared they found themselves the eenteraf attraction. "Tony" grew restless as the passen gers continued to stare at bis bride and him self and converse In whispers. Pretty soon a checkman who had been lnfoaned who the couple were approached them. ^Do you wish your baggage transferred?" he "If idol can attend to It myself;" retorted "Tony." "I thought you had all you could attend to now," the checkman Is reported to have said, but "Tony" only scowled. When the train stopped at Dearborn station the couple de scended from the car, the yotmg husband being exceedingly attentive, notwithstanding the hair a hundred pair of eyes that were watching them. "Tony" wore a f 1.50 dnster, and was not ss bad looking as the dispatches from Terre Haute would warrant one In tnlnklng him to be. Tbe bride wore a neat traveling suit. She is about twenty-five yean of age, rather modest In her demeanor, but not strikingly handsome. In the afternoon Shuler was seen at the driving park speeding an animal. To a reporter he said: "l don't want any notoriety about thts thing. I have known the lady who is now my wife for many years. Her father was opposed to the idea of her marrying me. but yesterday I went down to Terre Haute, and took bor away with me and martled her. Because Mr. Mc Keen la very wealthy she had several suitors, all men of more or lose wealth. The one the rather favored was a wealthy lawyer of India napolis." ?'When did you get married?" "Lost night, at the residence of my slater In Evansvillo. I came up here on Monday with a car-load of horses, one of them belonging to Mr. McKeen and another to his son, a banker at Terra Haute. I went back there Wednesday night, and at 5 o'clock yesterday morning called at the house for Miss McKeen. She was waiting for me, ready to start, and we took the 6:30 train for Evansvllle." People In the city who know him and are ac quainted with the young lady In the case deny that he is a hostler. The newly-married couple are seoond cousins. Shuler Is a son of OoL Law rence Shuler. ex-warden of the Indiana peni tentiary, at Jefferson vllle. He is a horse jockey, a part owner in several trotters, and on account ofhis knowledge of horses and good horseman ship had the supervision of McKeen's stables. Tbe relationship between Shuler and Miss Mo Keen had brought them much together, and the sadden mamage and wedding trip to Chi cago was the result. His bride had 978,000 In her own right inherited from her mother. Courtney and H? Halehet. Troy. N. Y., Special to the N. T. Tribune. At the conclusion of the double ecull race yesterday Courtney extended his hand to Hoe mer, but the latter refused to take it. This morning Courtney stood at the American house bar when Hoamer entered and said: "Charlie, go down and get your money." These were the first familiar words he had woken to Courtney in years. Courtney asked Hosmer to take a drink, and the two rivals pledged a new friendship. Hosmer held out nis hand, and as Courtney shook it heartily said: "Char lie, I regret our past differences, especially my attempt to get all professional oarsmen to boy cott you. will you forget the past?" "With all my heart." answered Courtney, and the two oarsmen shook hands again. Courtney and Conley will accept the chal lenge of Hanian and Lee. To-day Courtney or dered of George A.

Albert Hamra, who witnessed yesterday's race, says that if Hanian and Lee come up here to row Courtney and Conley, Courtney aud his partner will run away from them.

"Several yean ago t had a station on a railroad, 'way out on the plains. There had never been any train robberies near us, though there was much talk about 'em. One time the engineer ol a passenger train stopped hla engine in a hurry at the 461st mile post and then backed up. He declared that train robbers had placed obstructions on the track and were lying in ambush. Investigation showed that what he had thought obstructions were noth ing but some of tne big rolling weeds which had blown across the prairie And gathered on the track. Of course, the engineer was laughed at for his error, and after thai. When ever train robbers were mentioned, somebody would inquire if they were the same kind that William Roberts saw at the 481st mile post. "One night I was alone in my office, waiting for No. 8. She was an hour or was dosing over my pipe, whan on looking up I saw revolvers pointed at me from both ticket windows. Of course I threw up my They were train robbers sure enough. There were only three oT them, but such iteeiisiclc fellows I never saw. They told me what they wanted me to do. I was to write a -""irrtrh tor the oonductorof Na 8, signing the superintend ent's name to It, ordering him to leave his train at my station in my care and to take the engine and several aimed men and go on toward 1*1 om creek, moving cautiously and prepared to at tack train robbers. This dispatch I was to hand the conductor through the window when he came up for orders, as usual, two of the men hiding in the office ready to shoot me It I at temped to giro the alarm. The scoundrels ex pected by this means to have the train left at their mercy. I told them Na S wae tour hours late and tried to eeara them oat that Way. Then I tried to delay matters an that No. 3 would come bence I got the tele gram ready. But they meant business and in ten minutes the dispatch was written as they dictated. I cudgeled my brains tor some means to defeat the robbers, but l ooald not think of anything tor a long time. Suddenly I thought of my wife and the telophase lhad put up connecting oar residence with the sta tion. I made that telephone myself! and, though crude, It answesed veiy well. I told the robbers I wanted to telephone say wife that the train was late and that she shouldnoto hod. 'If I don't let her know.' I adaed, *she will be down here?you know how Queer women are?aud you'll have trouble.' "Then I was given permiaslen to talk ta her, but was cautioned that any attempt on my part to give the alarm would send a bullet through my head.

A man has his tradesmen's bills sent to his (dub rather than to his house, and a good many men who accumulate bills find the ar rangement exceedingly advisable. No trades man or oollector calling at a club can ever by any possibility find out anything about his debtor, and in the curiously long credit system which is in vogue In Great Britain It must be a pretty difficult matter to exercise enough pa tience to collect debts from men who have not any particular desire to pay them. Oomuara tlvely little cash business is done in this country.

There is a differ ent si.rt of chair, carefully covered and closed around with straw lattice work. It veils from public view some Chinese beauty of high de gree. Soldiers under the rank of sergeant are forbidden by garrison orders to travel In rick shaws. The Europeans are only as units among thou sands. True, the natives, high and low. rich and poor, afoot or transported, will instantly shrink ;iside at the incessant warning. "Hyah," of the running coolie, who thus intimates that he is conveying an Englishman, but the enor mous majority of the streaming throng is, of course, Asiatic Chinese. The route is lined with palms, with banyan trees and with bamboos, and the red. fever-causing,disintegrated granite dust dies up Into our faces. Lp go the um brellair Up hill, and my trotting ooolle never flay-: down hill, and bis speed becomes so breakneck that every moment I expect an upset, a collision, or a smash, irrespective of the contingency ot broken bones to a few English foot travelers, who would scorn to move out of th*? way for auy number of Chinese cries of "Hyah." Here we are at the entrance to the grand stand. A payment of about $5 procures admis sion l" the "lawn, and once more the strange ness of the scene seems for a time to baffle any systematic observation, however painstaking. In lieu of stands are some seven or eight large mat hou-es. light picturesque structures sup iK>rted on bamboo poles, with sides and roofs of rushes ind decorated with tropical evergreens and bright cloth or calico, the effect of which is excessively p etty. Each mat house Is the property o'f some one private individual or ol an association, and the refreshments provided a~e so costly and abundant that the imputation o! excessive eating and immoderate drinking can scarcely be resented. The race crowd, without which a race meet ing Is as dull as a German steeplec'sa^-e, is of lartre proj>ortlons, with representatives ot nearly every Asiatic state: but, of course. Chi nese enormously preponderate. Nearly all are '?battering, and quite all are in high good humor, enjoyinz the general sense of holi day. Not a single case of drunkenness did I see-no bickering, no rowdyism, and yet no lack of fun. The saddling bell rings, the numbers are hoisted, a thud of hoofs announces the prelim inary canter. Well, what of the racing? Be neath criticism, almost beneath contomnt. The ponies are from Australia, Japan or Cliefoo? Jo ibtless serv iceable for the work of their re spective countries, but as racers, wretched, weedv, groggy, undersized brutes- while the chief* features to be noticed ot the amateur Jockey? are the paraphernalia of their busi ness, "the preposterous length of their legs, their heavy weights, their horse-coping idlo gvner sies, and their indifferent riding. "I bought a very average type of racer lor ?6 lOs. In fact, the sport is merely a peg on which to hang the love of gambling, which like tbe love of drink, runs very high in this part of the world. Innumerable and high prize lotteries are started, and three-legged screws are merely bought and entered on the off chance of winning the stakes, which, In addition, are very considerable. '-Tlitiee ta?ne bar one," is an unknown cry on thl? course?all the better, perhaps?and the exeited by an unwonted hum, bus tle and excitement among tbe Chinese mob. A race is in course of being run, but to this In cident they are habitually very indifferent. Something unusual is certaiuly arousing them. Here comes the horses. How queer the jockeys look, how strangely they are bunched up, how wildly they throw their arms about, bow fitrcely they tl-ig, what diabolical faces?and, bl?*S8 mv heart, why, they have got pigtails streaming In the wind! The puzzle lsexplalned. 'It Is a race ridden uuder special arrangements by Chinese inafoos" or grooms?tbe best race ot the meeting, the only one which has caused any r?**l enthusiasm. Roused by the half Iarighter, halt-cheers, of their white masters, stimulated by the cries of their fellow country men?"Go it. Fordhain!" I once heard an en conraging Chinese lad shout?the mafoos, as tnev -tlnTsh" up their Walpurgls ride, wild with excitement, seem to have lo>t still further their semblance to humanity, and u> be transformed Into distorted-vlsaged, #horrlbfy frenzied de mons. The rnce over, how they strutted about In all the pride of jockey caps and jackets, and how they clung to their costume to the last pos? xible moment. The tenants of the numerous mat-fashioned grand stands belonging to the higher class na tives have become very Jubilant and vivacious in consequence ot the above-descriDed race, and I avail myself of an opportunity to enter one tenanted chietiy by Chinese and Japanese ladies. I must confess that my bashfulness coinj?clled me to retreat after a very few mo ments from the battery of their half-wonderiug, hail-scornful glances at tli? European Intruder, but not before 1 had time to remark that their faces were tlushed all over with skillfully ap plied pink tints, excepting in patches, which revealed disagreeably even and intensely wear jarge, loose trousers?were of variegated color*, quite Ingenious in their contrasts and brightness; tbeir black balr was dragged back into lumpy, slimy roils like jelly fish; their stature was ugly and stunted, and their teet. their extraordinary feet, in many cases haa been contracted since childhood Into mere de formed knobs, hideous to look at, on which tbey painfully tottered for a lew yards. A wide detour round a ditch Drings us Into the very thick of China race-course dregs. Yet these dregs differ lrom tbelr English congeners in being friends of soap and water, and desti tute of esprit de corps. There are no shooting stalls, no shows, and no Aunt 8allles?real cracks over tbelr own heads, which must be re cieved with patience, are so frequent that they lo.->e the zest of a Joke?but in lieu of them gam bling booths ot every shade and description illustrate tbe Chinese passion for play. Gam bling booths for large sums, gambling booths for small sums, gambling booths for nick-nacks, gambling booths for high-priced drinkables, gambling booths for low-priced carrion; each booth with an eager throng of both sexes and ot all ages around it, which renders circulation difficult. What Is this fragrant and yet somewhat sickly smell, a mixture of burning spills and sandal wood, emanating from some of the closed chairs conveying horns the Chinese ladle*? It is due to the joss sticks, in consuming which they utilize tbeir leisure moments, an exercise which they consider as equivalent to an act of worship. Rapidly, yet steadily, the pedestrian, the sedan chair, and the rickshaw lines of way farers stream into the orderly, quiet town, Just beginning to glitter with gas jets from the English lampposts?those ubiquitous lami> posca which, in common with the gallows, may now be regarded as the symbol of advancing civilization. If I have been successful in my attempts at delineation, the reader will admit that the beauties of Hong Kong?though splendid and numerous?may be exceeded by tnosa of other climes; but that in marvels of scene, people, and human nature generally, there is nothing to exceed a Chinese Ascot. w Who ear hath seen an elevator boy Whose soul, ifspake truly through bis bot, Did not denote one all bereft of joy?

Do you thing yon can go to a "drawing-room" without learning how to maks a proper rever ence? No, Indeed! You must go to a oosy little boueo In the West End, where a very elegant and quaint little old French lady will show you all you have to do, for a guinea a lesson, and then on the afternoon before the great day you {o to see the lady w ho is to present you, to get he important tickets and to receive explicit instructions as to your line of conduct; for, as the lady belongs to the diplomatic circle, she will be in the room with her royal highness, and you must enter alone. At her house you meet some gentlemen, and one tells you that when be was presented was the only moment in bis life that he has known what fear was, and he was in agony lest he should trip over his swora. and you think of your three or four yards or train, and you are sure that will be much worse than a sword. And another tells you that the young ladies usually are white and trembling with tear, ana tbatotten they make a terrible flasoo; they tell you of one poor un fortunate, who, instead of kissing the queen's band when it ww extended to her, shook it 2nd incontinently fled. By the time you leave your Instructress' house you are trembling in every limb,and you spend all the rest of the evening making courtesies to the chair and sofas, and fervently hoping that you may not disgrace your oountry on the morrow. Your landlord's daughter devotes herself to you for the next day, and makes the most help ful and obliging oi little dressing maids, and at last you are ready, all pearls, lace and shining silk. It 1bquite along drive to the park, but suddenly you see the Horse Guards, and then you know you have arrived, and Inside the gates you find hundreds and hundreds of peo ple waiting to see the carriages pass,and standing on tiptoe to catch a glimpse of you. All the way up the long drive the Horse Guards, in their long plumes and brilliant scarlet, are stationed at right and left, and inside the pal ace gates is a long row of horsemen standing close together, ana you alight to the sound ot martial music. When you have left your wrap in a room near the entrance you go up a very grand stairway, past men with spears, called "Beef-eaters," dressed In red ana yellow, you hand oue oi your tickets to the Queen's page, and are ushered with a great many ladies into a huge room, all red and gold, and there you sit for quite a long time, gazing at the lovely views of the park through the wide windows and studying the dresses. As you pass the door to the presence chamber you drop your train from your arm. and the two chamberlains?or whatever they are called?quickly and deftly straighten it to its full length as you walk slowly forward; at the door of the throne room some one takes your second card, and then you hear the lord cham berlain pronouncing your name in a very loud voice, and now you are bowing to the princess; you wish the ladies behind you would not come quite so fast, lor you feel hurried and are con scious you are not making your reverence the way you were taught; you courtesy to the ladies next the prlnceas, but bow many there are, or what they look like, you havn't the least idea; you see the prince quite distinctly, and you walk sideways and make a scries of little di minishing bows to the row ot dukes or princes or whatever they may be; but of tbem you re tain not the faintest impression. Suddenly you feel your train hustled on to your arm, for in your oonfuslon you have forgotten to hold your arm out properly, and the great deed is done. It Las lasted in all about fiiteen seconds: you havn't seen anything very distinctly, and you regain only one idea, that her royal highness wu dressed ^n light yellow?but you have been presented at court, and surely ought to be satis tied. The next day your name appears in the Court Circular. Hikers on the Delaware. From the Philadelpeia Press. The "hiker" is an aquatic racehorse, not more than fifteen feet !ong, without a deck, with a mast away up In the bow, and with a single sail big, enough for a good-sized yacht. The "hiker" does not carry any ball.ist except that which can move about on two legs. In other words, her crew of four or five men are her ballast. In order to utilize their weight so us to prevent capsizing, the unknown geiius who invented the "biker" devised the follow?ug scheme: Fastened to the center-board, the mast and the lower yard of the sail are five or sir ropes, which are long enough to haug over oue side into the water. On the ends which go over the side are fastened bars of wocd, and on these bars ot wood hang the human bail ut An admirable illustration of the working of this simple but rather moist device is afforded during every regatta of theSouthwark Yacht clab. The South wark is composed entirely of "hikers," either with a double or a single bow. When the starting gun Is flrod, from thirty to fifty racers dip across the line as their crews frantically haul up the sa'ls. They continue hauling until such a spread of canvas Is dis played that any spectator wi"> was not acquain ted with the use of the apparently useless ropes aud wooden bars, which seem to be only In lbs way of the men, would say at once that the un ballasted little boats would go over before the fiivt quarter-mile was finished. On they glide down the river, gathering In creased momentum with each moment. Still their progress is comparatively slow, there being out a brentb of air. 1 Lc crewb all sit staring at the sail and at the river behind. Sud denly the ruffling oi the water tells of the com ing of a puff of wind. The crew of each "hiker" scramble over to the windward side and perch themselves on the gunwales with bars of wood in tbeli' hands. P? rbaps the wind blows stead ily; perhaps it strikes them iuagush. If the former, then the men sit where they are, bal ancing the craft simply by their all being on one side. But if, especially while tacking, the "hiker's" spread of cauvas above proves too much for her and shr plunges over, the captain yolls frantically, Hike over." In an instant the ropes arc stretched taut and tbe wooden bars disappear overboard into the water, followed by the men or the posterior part of them. Only their legs remain ic the boat as they sit on the transverse bars and hold on to the ropes. Every other wave surges up to their necks, and often a dip towir^wurd submerges them completely, with tbe exception oi their legs, which flourish wildly up over the side of the boat, but when they reappear again tbe raft has been saved frota capsizing by this sud den hanging out of from 800 to over 1,000 pounds on tbe windward side. Sometimes an entire tack across the river is made with tbe crew "hiking out" in this manner. Sometimes, as they come about, in spite of their efforts, she wind proves too strong for them and the side they are sitting over is raised high up into the air. Then for a few brief s iconds every nerve is strained as tbey pull on the rones and bang, almost bead downward, over tne side. They may succeed and keep the boat from capsizing, or they may all execute a grand flying leap as the "hiker" goes over nowever, happens only when there is an un usually strong wind or when bad management is shown in "coming about" at the wrong time. And, even if they do capsize, there is no barm dune. Of course, they are out of the race, but that is all. The tugs and steamers that follow pick them up and tow the half submerged boat bark home again, where she is righted and bailed out. Ou many of the races at least ten men are taken in each boat. Tbey serve to keep her steady as long as the breeze is too stiff or tbe cruise is against the wind. But if, after the buoy ip rounded and the wind dies away,tbe captain glances significantly at of one the crew, the yachtsman grins, pulls off his boots, and drops overboard. Perhaps he is pioked up, perhaps he is not noticed in the excitement of tbe race and Is left to take care of himself. In this case he calmly strides out for the t>bore, half a mile away. Sometimes half a dozen men are dropped over In this manner from one boat. In order to lighten her aud keep her rivals from crawling ahead. But woe to the captain who sac rifices too many of his men. There may come up an unforeseen wind and bowl over tbe to-llgbtly ballasted boat In the twinkling of an eye.

The Girls llad a Picnic. From the Philadelphia Times. Soma time ago the cynical old bachelors who lnfesttne village of White Plains, New York, organized an association which they called the Bachelors' olub. In order that they might more effectually resist feminine encroachments. Aware of the fact that women, like vice, II once endured will soon be pitied and then embraced, and desiring not to prove recreant to their bachelor fiaith, tbey not only distinctly forbade the presenoe of women at any of their meetings, but exiled every product of leminlne hands from tbe club rooms. Tbe merry maidens of that sleepy village laughed at these ridiculous arrangements and prophesied the speedy death of the organization. But time passed, the old bachelors still stood solidly against their com mon enemy and the club flourished in spite of feminine wrath. Then, because tbey didn't know what else to do, tbe young ladies organ ized a club of tbelr own, and to show tbe bate-1 ful old bachelors oi just what real consequence they were tbe young ladies gave a picnic of their own, to which not a man was Invited. Of course the picnic was a failure. If such things must be, a home can get along without a mother, or a woman can refrain from saying "I told yod so"?when there isn't anybody to ?ay it to?but a fourteen-glrl picnic without any men Is a failure from the start. The girls tried swinging together in hammocks, but the ham mocks weren't swung right by the twelve-year old boy who drove their team, and they tum bled out and rolled ignominiously down the sward. They tried holding each other's hand. but the right sensation wasn't there. They built their own fire and carried their own water, and protested all the while that they didn't miss the horrid, hideous men one bit, and tbey proved It by secretly wishing them selves miles and miles away. In their despera tion they tried kissing each other. But who ever heard of girls with level heads who Hktwf to kiss each otheit When the millennium comes along the White I plains girls are going to have another picnic. Bat in the meantime they are hoping that a marriage epidemic will visit their borough and I that the members of both clubs will be among tbe earnest victims. The trees in the groves may intertwine their graoeful arms and the shadows chase each other across the fields and into the glens, but there will be no mots man-, less pienioc and aftwr awhile, when the 111 feel lag lias au been buried and the riris have broken up the Bachelors' dub by showing the bachelors how sensible and loving they can be when they try, there will be any number of jests and smiles at the monumental ?**ir4dltv of both maidens and men. *e? g HlMk?IL BT CHAILD DCDLET WAIK1I. ftwn tbc September Atlantic. From Wilson's to the pea* of Miteheil it la ?even and a hall miles; we made It la five and a half hours. bridle p?Uj *m an, out it has been entirely neglected, it la badly washed; It la atony, muddy, and K?**l trees have fallen across It, which wholly block the way tor hone*. At these places long detoo rs were necessary, on ateep hillsides and through gullies, over treacherous sink-hole* In the rocks, through quaggy places, beape of brush and rot ten logs. Tboee who have ever attempted to get horsea over aucb ground will not wouder at the alow progress we made. Before we were half way op tne aaoent we realised the folly of attempting It on horseback; but then to go on seemed aa eaay aa to go back. The way was also exceedingly steep In places, and what with roots, and logs, and slippery rocks and stones, It was a desperate climb for the horses. What a magnificent forest! Oaks, chestnuts, poplars, hemlocks, the cucumber (a species oi magnolia, with a pinkish, cucumber-like oone), ana all sorts of northern and southern growths meeting here In splendid array. And this gigantic forest, with little diminution in size of trees, continued two-thirds of the way up. We marked, as we went on. the maple, the black walnut, the buckeye, the hickory, the locust, and the guide pointed out in one section the largest cherry trees we bad ever seen; splendid trunks, each worth a large sum If It could be cot to market. After the great trees were lea behind, we entered a garden of white birches, and then a plateau of swamp, thick with rasp, berry bushes, and finally the ridges, densely crowded with the funereal black balsam. Halt-way up, Big Tom showed us his favorite, the biggest tree be knew. It was a poplar, or tulip. It a tan da more like a column than a tree, rising high into the air, with scarcely a perceptible taper, perhapa sixty, more likely a hundred, feet before It puta ont a limb. Its frth six feet from the ground la thirty-two feet! think It might be called Big Tom. It stood here, of course, a giant, when Columbus sailed from 8pain, and perhaps some sentimental traveler will attach the name of Oolumbus to it. In the woods there was not much sign of ani mal life, scaroely the note of a bird, but we noticed aa we rode along in the otherwise primeval silence a loud and continuous bum marn to accumulate aiterloug habitation in one place. A few days ago I had the pleasure of spending the day at one ol these old places that had been in possession of the family for nine er ten gene rations. There In the old famllv burial-ground husband and wife lie resting side by bide, gene ration after generation; and, Judging from the vigorous specimens oi young manhood of this day. it Is safe to predict that many other men of this family will go from this old home to take leading places in the oouncila ol their state. Traveling on the Chesapeake bay la exceed ingly pleasant. The boats are generally large, well fitted and last, and on this l .rge body o! water there is nearly always some air stirring. Now, to-day, with the thermometer way up in th? nineties, there Is a delightful breeze that takes away all one'a sense of discomfort. It la a positive luxury to lie here and look out over the green waters, with hern and Lhere a short lined white cap, some half a dozen white sail, way off yonder a taint dark Une of smoke from an Invisible steamer, and the long, low shores stretching out blue and dim along the horizon. There is a ripple yonder?then a dash of silver, as a school ol Alemlnes try to escape that big rock that made a dart among them. How lazily that pair of fish hawks are sailing around, when suddouiy there is a swoop and a mighty splash, and then on the nearest tr*.v a nil lunch is Indulged in. Yea, though it rr .claimed that the way of the trangressdr L? h.ird (and we are all transgressors,) or that life is i>ut a purga tory with no consequent paradise, let the most wearied and harraased transgressor but idle away a few weeks on the shores of the Chesa peake bay and he will gradually commence to think that there is just a little real actual pleas ure in living alter all.

A Canning Rogue's Tactics. THICKS or A SWINDLER ABOUT WHOK Af.r. BANK OFFICERS OUGHT TO KNOW, From the Boston Journal. A dispatch appeared in Wednesday's Journal announcing that a man calling himself Walter W. Wauzer, Jr.. of Portland, had swindled the Sandy River national bank, of Farmington, Me., out of 95,000 by means of a forged certifi cate of deposit on the National Exchange bank, of this city. While not strictly true, the asser tion bad lorlts basis a very shrewd game which Wanzer played, if all that la aald be true, and which failed only by accideut. Wanzer de. posited a sum of money in the Exchange bank, for which he obtained a certificate of deposit and signified his desire to have It paid in Farm lnuton, and the Sandy River bank was so no tified by the Exchange bank. Wanzer then went to Farmington and had his certificate of deposit cashed. Having thus established his identity and the fact that he bad had dealings with a reputable bank in Bos ton, he soon after said that hfe expected $5,000 more to be paid into the Exchange bank, of which the Farmington Institution would be notified by telegraph. After waiting some time the telegram came surely enough, but In ordinary language Instead of in cipher, aa is ordinarily the case in such transactlona be tween banks. The cashier at Farmington did not wait to verify the deposit by telegraph, but Immediately paid ft by check dated August 11, 1885, and numbered 691, and Wanzer disappeared. Almost as soon as the check was delivered the cashier seems to have had doubts about the transaction, and telegraphed to Boston, receiving answer that the Exchange bank knew nothing oi Wanzer beyond the first certificate of deposit. Printer's ink and telegraph were at onoe freely used to stop the negotiation of the check, and up to date it has not been heard from, and probably will not be, so that, beyond the ex pense of notification, the Farmington bank will lose nothing. It was rst supposed that the telegram In regard toije $5,000 came from a confederate In this. city, but subsequent investigation has revealed a loop and Instrument put into the wires In the woods just outside Farmington by means of which Wanser sent the message him self! It apparently came by w?7 of Portland, and bore Ins signature of the Portland operator, and In Its sending numbers and calls were accurate, showing that Wanser devoted con siderable work to the perfection of hfc scheme. He Had Faith In Mtbsr. But he kept on with the oopver bit auhT^nc- ft' ?nr. -yM *l?"*.ths the TRADE IX HE? IHUIA. Bmiana ThM PM}rt tk? Pft* clflc S\?pr Well.

The Pacific (Mast *nd coast islands, from Monterey, In California, to Acwpuleo, In Mexloo, with con tributions from China Japan and the south seas. furnish the product, and Europe Is the market. France Is the largest buyer, and next In the order named follow Germany, Belgium, Holland and England. The product eonslsts of mother-of-pearl, pearl oyater, brilliant or cu rious shells trora Japan, China and the south ?ea^, the several varieties of abalone, and a conehologlcal medley known In busluess par lance as "small shells." Small shells command from fM> to $70 per hundred pounds and are found along the shores of the South coast and on the outlylug Islands. They reach California In sacks, and In sacks they are shipped to Europe, where they are used in the manufacture of many various and ornamental things. The mother-of-pearl, known to the trade as "the Tahiti shell," Is the most valuable of all shells. It Is exquisitely beautiful, five to eight inches In diameter, round and flat, and over laid with a tender, milk-white, gleaming sur face that Immediately challenges admiration. Specimens of "the Tahiti shell" may be seen In some of the art windows of this city and Mew York. They are usually displayed with a sun burst, sunset, or landscape painted on them, but the finest and most perfect shells find THEIB WAT TO EUROPE. Mother-of-pearl shells are found around and off the Island of Tahiti. They are deep-water shells; native divers raise them to the surface, and they are brought to California by traders, who procure them In barter. The divers or Tahiti dlsplav great daring and fortitude, and many tales are told of the feats they perform and the dangers they encounter. Tales nre told of divers who never returned, and who are sup posed to have been devoured by murine mon sters or lost or entangled In the labyrlnthlan windings of coral caves. Tahiti shells are worth In lump, wholesale, f 1.50 to $4 each, and the finest elected shells are valued at $50 per pair. In America Tahiti shells are marketed solely as article* of virtu, bric-a-brac and curios. In Europe, however, they find additional use and value in the manu facture of rare and elegant srticles of fancy, fashion, toilet and Jewelry, and In the creation of the most costly and artistic Inlaid work. Thus metamorphosed, the shells of the ocean find their way back to America, form a distinct trade, command fabulous prices, and become the special prey of the tariff defjion.

DOCTOR GEORGE. About the only earthly possession of any ?alne George Hixson bad on his twenty-second birthday, was a handsome diploma of parch ment tied up with a bine ribbon. The diploma was from a medical collie of very high stand lug, and George had worked hard and faith fully for four long year* for that diploma. T.i?. he deserved it, made it a valuable pos session. He had with It a good deal of capital in the shape of courage, enthusiasm, faith in himself and ti. world. He was honest, manly and patient, and conld begin life at the right end of the ladder. He was so poor that he had to walk part way *\lrn tbe college to his old home, the village of Aharon. The first man he met at the end of his tire some Jonrney was old Enoch Lampson, a man Whohad known George from the day of bis "How de do, Oeoree, how dp do? Home again, eh?" was the old man s greeting. "Yes, sir," replied George; "home tostav this time. "So yer a full-fl?*deed pill-maker, an' ready to golnto partnership with oki Billy, our grave yard sexton, hey?"' asked tne old man, with poor wit. George felt disposed to resent this: but he did not. "Ye don't calc'late on settlin' down here In Bharon, do ye?' continued old Enoch. "Yes, sir, I do." "Wal. now, I dono-1 dono T>oat that, George." "Why shouldn't I begin here?" asked the man. hear thnt 0,(1 D*- Edmonds has died lately, and that no oue has yet come to take his place. Wh3* snould I not do so? I am youne??" i!? kit* George! that's hitf interrupted old Enoch: "yer too young; that's Jist whar the hoe pinches. Leas wise, that's o,te place whar hit pinches. 'Nuttier thing is that?that I he old man scratched liis head in evident confusion. He looked keenly at the voung man. whose face began to flush. "Wal," resumed the old man, "you know as well as anybody. George, jis.s wat yer fuin'ly connections is; you know that I know it so well that you need not take the wouble to enlighten me any further 011 the sub ject," replied the youne man, very quickly "I kuow to my sorrow that mv lather was a com won drdnkard. and that 1 am generally known as 'old Joe Hixson s son.' I know that mv eldest brother followed in my lather'** footstc-p* and killed in a drunken brawl in this town. Mv other brother has gone to the bad,loo. lint I know, and you know, too, Mr. Lamixson, that my mother was as good a woman as ever lived through years of shame uud suffering, to die at last 01 a broken heart." "That's even so, George," admitted the old mau; *41 knowed your mother wheu was purty Mary Jackson, 'fore it was ever her mis fortune to know yer reperbate father, an'she was. as you say. as good a woman as ever drawd breath; but hit's yer father's name youvegnt.au' th name o* Hixson don't stan' very high in these parts. But I'll say fer you, Oeorgt, tnat I liaiu't a word to ?av agin you russonally an' individooly. I am free ter sav an' l? Ifeve that yer of a mind ter do what's right, an that you want to raise ver name far "bove the o tecum that's now on hit." I do want that." was the youne man's earn est reply. and it s strange it the Christian peo ple of this town refuse to give me help and en couragement. My own record here is clear I am not ashamed to have It read. Of course I amyouug, and most people are a little afra'd of young physicians; but all physicians were know*''"1'*'ke. "I have earned it." he went on: "it is my own by right of four years of hard stud v. Of course 1 know of the opposition 1 will probably meet with in the beginning. I am voung: I know more of theory than of practice, so far. But there are several reasons whv I want to locate here in my boyhood's home. I am to wiu In the end?you will see that I do." "Mi all, ?*eoree, I hain't a thine ae'in vou mv self. I wi-h yon well a? fur as I'm concerned er gritty: I remember that you had that streak in you when you was a little ounesfer But I Jist made up my miud that I'd tell you fair an' square what the chances wuz fur an' ag in you here." "I am greatly obliged, I'm sure," said George, but I was prepared tor ail you have told me I ieel that J shall succeed in~thi> end. ?Commit thy way unto the Eord. Trust also in Him, and he shall bring it to pass.' There is the founda tion of mv faith and courage, Mr. Lampson I have often proved the truth of that most belpftil and most blessed promise. It eives me courage and confidence now. I know it will not fail me." But there were many days and weeks and months after tnat when poor George's courage an-1 confidence almost failed him. Old Enoch had truthfully said "Doctor George will have a hard row to die He had. indeed. The name of Hixson was In oad repute in and around Sharon. The peon>*e were prejudiced against the poor young teliow although they could not but admit that hisown character was above reproach. They had known him lrom his baby davs up, and it did not -seem natural" to call him "Doctor" i Hixson. And he was so proud of that hard- 1 earned title. Those who used it at all called him "Doctor George- that took away half tiie dienitv for I him. and was a tamuiarity he resented, in se cret. although he dared not do so openlv Others called him "Doc," and that was simpi5: galling to the high-strung young man. He was daily hurt by covert or open sneers. Even chi dreii ridi uled him and his new title. Could anythi.j? be more exasperating than to have a crowd of Ill-bred urchins assemble in front of his poor, shabby little office, while one of their numl>er sung out: "Doctor, 'ioctor, kin yon tell What Will make a sick man well? at,el'u l.hsU w??ld not come, while Dr. Graves went driving by day after Every few days the disturbed and dejected your g Honor heard rumors of a rival coming oarun, atid the village paper onenlv uuie lislied in Its columns that "An experienced and competent Dhvslcian will do wen to locate in Sharon."

The rSjR ^^awfre determined u, ignore /ii^ He eouid not succeed there. But there wS" that young man s Mee? a-the boundless wZT Pmri naps the fates would be less cruel to him there He u|lond,*y little tow-headed boy met him on the street. "Hay. you. l>octor oeorge," he said, "my ma wants you me up to ur house and see if there s an v Ml the matter of our Tommy SSstmr x9 dmm to ?Wld A* Doctor The Insulting meseege made the blood fairly tingle in the young doctor's veins. But the next moment he laughed. "Oh! well, it don't matter," he said; "J'U go. It will help me to say trutbfhlly that I've had tome practice." Tommy was the very urchin who bad sung the hatful doggerel before Dr. George's office. The voung physician examined the boy care fully: ihen he said: "Well, Tommy, my boy.lt will take some thing more than greaseon your heels and tar on your nose to make you well; you have the small-pox." "i don't believe it," said Tommy's mother, sharplv, "I don't believe you know small-pox from tbe measles! I'll send for Dr. Graves right off!" "Very well, madame," said Dr. George,polite ly bowing himself out. 'But late that evening Tom's mother came crying to Dr. George. -Dr. Graves wouldn't come," she said; "he wan goin? to, but when he beard that it looked like small-pox with Tommy he said he wasn' well, and just sent some medicine that ain doue him a bit of good. If you would come up sir!'' It was the flrst time he bad been addressed "sir" for many a day. "Of course I will go," he said. That was the beginning of Doctor George practice in Sharon. Within ten days there were fourteen cases of small-pox. The annals of the little town contain a record of how was scourged by thai fearful disease. Before the end came there were one or more cases in nearly every house. The means taken to pre vent the spread of the disease had proved in effectual. At last the town was quarantined. Wheu Doctor Graves was sent for a second time it was discovered that be had suddenly been called away "on business." He stayed away all winter. Doctor George went back to his empty office after seeing Tommy a second time, fie un packed his little trunk, lighted a candle and began to read a certain medical work. He read until midnight, until 1, 2, 3 o'clock, until the dawn of day?that found him on his bended knees, prayerful, and even tearful. He felt that there had been given him work to do that a change was coming in his life. He opened his well-worn little Bible and read: "I will not fall thee nor forsake thee," and again he read: "Be strong, and again 1 say, be strong.'' Ana he was strong. "Ills strength was as the strength of ten, Because his heart was pure." He bcaame a tower of strength to those stricken people. He was doctor, nurse, consoler ?more than he thought he ever should be to suffering creatures. lli? success with Tommy was assured within a few days, and others came eagerly alter him His skill in baffling the disease was wonderful. Had he not the Heavenly help? There were lew deaths, and mauy people came forth, their fair and blooming cheeks unmarked by the dread disease. Mrs. Colonel Giddings' beautiful daughter was stricken down while making preparations to fly from the town. Mrs. Giddlng's own carriage came for "old Joe Hixson's son." His contaminated pres ence was in her splendid parlors aud in her daughter's dainty room. His skill and care ful watching brought her beautiful da?bter lorth with all of her girlish loveliness un harmed. He had hardly time to eat or sleep fbr many days. His very presence gave hope and cour age to the suffering. He escaped tbe contagion, but when his last case was dismissed he was utterly exhausted, and quietly left the village lor a week or two of rest. When he returned his heart sank within him. In the window of one of the handsomest office rooms in the town he saw the word "Physi cian" in great letters of gold. Handsome curtains were before the win dows. Everything indicated that the new comer had been a successful man. He hardly dared to read the name on the door. When he did he read: Dr. George H. Hlxson." "Go long In and see how you like it," said old Enoch Lampson, who stood grinning on the pavement. The amazed young doctor opened the door and went Into a beautiful office. A handsome carpet and rugs covered the floor, walnut and mahogany chairs with velvet and plush cush ions were in corners, a mahogany table and secretary stood in the room, pictures and orna ments were on the wall, books filled a walnut Utokcase with a silken curtalu. Back of this pretty room was one for a privete office, fitted up lu the handsomest style. "I?1?don't understand it," said Doctor George. "Don't, hey?" queried old Enoch. "Wall, hit's a little s'prise fixed up ler you by Mrs. Colonel Giddings an' the rest of us. 'Bout the hull town bed a tinner in hit. Hit's all yerown. an' ail paid fer. I reckon you hain't lost notbin by trustin' in the Lord. He gin'rally brings His promise to pass, you kno."? I. L. Barbour, in Botlon Examiner. He Married the Clirl who Could Darn. From tbe Y. Commercial. One would think, with tbe increase In darned or "Morris work," that darning would be as signed a place among the fine arts. It seems, however, to be one of the lost arts. A most striking illustration of the fact came to my no tice a few days ago. A young girl was showing a beautiful table cover. The entire back ground was of darned work, and the design was ex quisitely embroidered. What a tine needle woman must this maiden be, I thought; how 1 should like to see the stockings she darns. I As if divining my wish a sister brought a darn> Ing bag made by the embroiderer to show me I a peculiarity of the pattern. In so doing sev eral pairs of stockings fell out, and to my dis may, I saw that they were darned in a manner that would have brought a blush to the face of any daughter of the past generation. The thread was coarse, the stitches uneven, and tbe effect rough In the extreme. The Incident brought to mind the story of the party oi young people who were out for a walk. Among them were two sisters, who were in doubt as to whom the at ten lions of an exceedingly desirable parti were directed, for up to this time he had been pro vokingly impartial. Tbe young folks sud denly came to a place In the road that had been rendered swampy by recent rains, aud three or four of the girls lost their shoes. This was in the days long gone by when low shoes were worn without fastenings. Among the un fortunate losers of shoes were the two sisters. As it happened, their errant belongings were restored by the gallant admirer. But in put ting the shoes upon the maidens'feet he no ticed that on the toe of tbe stocking of one sister there was a rough, coarse darn, while tbe stockiug of the other, which was also darned, had been mended so skillfully that the repairs were scarcely to be distinguished. The halting lover no longer vacillated. The good darner was chosen to be the mistress of "tower and halL" People were surprised, for the other sister was more beautiful, but the husband always said that the excellent darn decided the choice which he had never regretted. Darning is certainly of great importance in household economy, and the art of fine darning is too much neglected by thotw who would find it inwer went up from Paris In a balloon, July 16th, to teat his theorv. Now bis air ship la found tenant less, floating in the chop of the channel. You ask me whether the obvious Inference is a safe one. I say to that not so safe as it would be in tbe case of a man of another temperament and character. I can see how Gower big bump of self-esteem might be so affected by failure as to lead him to keep out of the way and inflict a little mystery on a curious public. While I allow tbe chances are that Gower was drowned, I should not be surprised to bear of his ^^'"g up again In Paris. What will become of his property" do you ask. That would go one-half to Mrs. Lillian Norton Gower, his wife, and the balance to other relatives. Mrs. Gower, you know. Is a native of Farmtngton, Maine, and a grand daughter of Campmeetlng John Allan. She baa been in the vicinity of Boston for several months, carrying on legal negotiations for ali mony out of Gower's estate. She separated from him six months agoor mow, and has been in retirement since She will return to the operatic stage as soon as the question at ali mony or Mr. Gower's fate Is settled. Mrs. Gower is In improved health and Is now at in*yard Haven visiting a relative. She sang to the people in the hotel where she Is stopping last Sunday. Her voice has lost none of its power and beauty, although she Is somewhat out of practice. She will soon reeommenoe klnsaroeat and will again be heard fram REUGHOtTS NOTES.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat A very curious and significant fact in mod ern history will be the approaching coronation of Alexander III., Emperor of Russia, ai Samarcand. The dry announcement that he will then only add to his countless preceding titles that of Emperor of Central Asia?a statement already familiar to all American newspaper readers?does not convey by any means the full meaning of the event. The as sumption of the title "Emperor of Central Asia iinpos.'ng as it might seem?could not have that impression upon the Imagination of Orientals which the ceremony is intended to produce; and the truth is that Alexander III. Z !infijS.ere.ly Proclaim himself lord of those wua territories, but also successor of Tamer I""?-, Moreover, he will appear before the ?r, Ses.^ring the warlike relics of ^t mighty destroyer; the Jeweled crown of h i2, placed over Timour's own helmet, and the sword and buckler of the con queror of Bajazet will be brandished by the strong hands ot the Russian czar. The?e heir looms have been treasured up for centuries by l^ emirsol Samarcand, claiming descent from 2?# -5 was burn forty miles south of that city in 133b, on the 9th day ot April So tremendous;a title cannot fail to have its eflecis upon the imagination of races who still preserve the memory of Timour in their wild or plaintive national songs, or superstitious in vocations, such as that preserved for us by Hue H e have burned the sweet-smellin"- wood ni the toot of the divine T.mour. fed K O, loreheads to the earth, we have ottered him the green leaf of tea, and the milk of our herds We are ready; the Mongols are afoot, O Timour' O divine Timour, when will thy great soul revive' Return return-we wait for thee!"' And it the tribes of the steppes fail to behold in this new emperor of Central Asia a descendant of thecouquerorof the fourteenth centurvhim self a usurper, they must at least recognize one worthy to succeed him by right of conquest and extent of dominion. For, like the empire of Timour, the Russia of 1885 extends from the V olga to the Pacific, and northward even to the regions ol perpetual day-where Mohammedan doctors have declared the evening prayer mav with, fonumuch "there K The twenty-seven crowns of Timour are out numbered by those of the czar of all the Rus sias; and if Persia and India have not yet been seized, the former already trembles and th? latter lies within reach.

This will pro vide for the laying underground of all trunk linL; along L street to 17th street, and along 17tb to M street northwest, and to include such side !oops as to take in all signal boxes and instru ments within about three squares on both sides of said line or route, and which shall bring in ail the wires west and southwest of 17th and M street*. In bis estimates for the next year Mr. Miles recommends the addition of three re pairmen and two laborers to the present force, matting the cost of the service as follows: One e?neral superintendent, $1,600; one electrician, 81,200; two telegraph operators at $1,000 each, $2,?KH>; three telephone operators at $600 each, $1,800; three repair men at ?720 each, #2.160; two laborers at $400 each, $800.
