Hex *e and Tliere. romiiMMicriueiit I>a.r F\emo. To*day the exercises at the Naval Academy were brought to a close, by the address of Hon. S S. Cox, of New York, and delivery of diplomas to the graduates. We devote much space to Mr. Cox’s oration, which was eloquent, as well as witty and amusing. ADDRESS OF HON. S. S. COX. Mr. Cox said that a government without the means of its own conser vation, is a rope of sand. Conse quently wise governments, in addi tion to civil functions and laws, pro vide physical defences by men and machines. These require skill in their management. To attain this skill such provision is made as this academy affords. This government, from its peculiar form and polity, relies more on men than on machines but treats its men less as machines, and requires fewer numbers for defence, qualitas non quan tam. We are enabled to present a less vulnerable front to alf foes because of the isolation of our own hemisphere of smaller republics. We are not ag gressive, nor are twe entangled abroad but our own capacity for de fence is formidable. We can draw even on cowards in self-defence. Na turally the weak are strang in self defense. Our highway to greatness is the via amicabilia. The value of education as a pass port and a helper, at home and abroad, Mr. Cox enlarged upon to considera ble extent, defining education phil ologically, meaning he said, to lead out. It is not instruction nor breed ing merely. It is discipline and in cludes knowledge and manners. It is the forging, forming and tempering of the weapon for the conflict of life. The people have through its represen tatives fleeted and sustained this de lightful spot for the training of a select number, as well for the graces and business of life as for the defence of our land and the exaltation of our patriotism. “You are not,” said the orator, “here to learn the classics,with their lessons of virtue and their code of morals. You are not here merely to study and prize our matchless con stitution, nor to analize the conscience of mankind iu the law of nations. Your education here is more technical and practical. I have seen your ca dets at the ropes, at the engine, learn ing how to build as well as to sail ships. You are taught astronomy, not merely to be devout, but to be navigators of the deep.” The present age is one of physical forces. The tremendous agencies of destruction w’hich lie iu steam, dynamite, elec trictlv and other elements of power are to be barnassed by your skill and driven across the bosom of the seas in defence of our sea-coast, our commerce and our flag. The mysteries of these forces are to be solved by the men oj this time. Dynamite has terrified kings and other petrifactions; but its marvellous force tends to make men seek other than bloody methods to reconcile differences and prevent war. The atoms were then sub jected by the speaker to an analyses for the origin of the forces chemical and physical, and the marvels of our time in invention and mechanism variously illustrated, to show that our age has not lost its spiritual glory, by having its material marvels and magnificences. “This is the age of j lightning and steel. The refinements I and utilities of life are enhanced by j these energies, utilized by art an science.” Fifty years from now and where will be odr steam engine-rub bish. Other energies more tractable than electricity may be discovered j and used for power and illumination. The heroes of our future are made j out of such marvels. Once men sought for the Golden Fleece, the Holy Grail, the fountain of perpetual youth, and the El Dorado. Now they seek for the miracles in the arena of nature, to prolong and save life, to defend and aggrandize nations and to add to the sum of human hap piness. In this quest you are called upon to take a part—whether in the mine, at the forge, in the shop, at the lathe, in the bessimer furnace, in the mint or mill, by land or sea, by rail or steamer. You harness this demon of Iron and this genius of Force to carry, spin, weave, print, fight and work. The speaker then referred to Stephenson, Nordenschiold, Erricson, Lockyer, Draper, and other heroes of the loco motive, telescope, spectroscope and compass. Touching upon the nerve forces of men and women, the orator gave Stephenson’s definition of the greatest force in nature, a woman’s eye for the man, who loved her. lie concluded by referring to the farewells of the grrduates to teachers and friends and the prospect before them of contests in the future—not to be compared with the combats of our naval heroes of the past. I trust, said he, in what ever situation you may be placed, you will return somethiug of that spirit of chivalry, which has not al j4ogether departed with the advent of ,ohr material forces. Y"ou may still emulate in a steel steamship, the achievements ofour Porters, Hulls and American ingenuity will rise to the exegencies of the time. We do not live in utopia, nor have we reached the millenium. Tho arts of war will continued to be taught and practiced meanwhile, pursuits in private life, or in public duty— in your several ways—wTienyou leave these academic halls and shades, it will be well to remember, that the noblest strength which a nation has, —is in its individuals who, when combined morally, intellectually and patriotically can render this coudtry with its institutions invincibha At the conclusion of the address, Superintendeflt Ramsay arose to de liver the deplfmas. Before he did he said “It gives me great pleasure to speak of the high character and good conduct’during the past year, of the present graduating class. You .will leave behind a record to which you and your friends hereafter will point with pride and pleasure.” This well deserved compliment the cadets ap plauded roundly. The captain then began the delivery of the diplomas, commencing with cadet Charles H. Hews, of Pennsylvania, the honor man oftheclass. Cadet He wes received a chorus of applause as he came forth to take his parchment, and so the ap plause w’ent to the last man of the class Robert 11. Orr, of Delaware. There ha 4 been some doubt as to his “getting through the wilderness” and when his name was called, the de lighted cadets stormed the Chapel more uproariously than they had at the brightest scintillation of Sunset Cox’s oration. It easy to tell by the charac ter of the applause who among the graduates were the favorites of their fellows; it increased in proportion to the esteem in which the graduate was held. Those marked as favorites were Cadets McNulta, Hoggatt, Seymour, I Plunkett, McKean, Hulme, O’Malley I Mosely, McDonald, Leary, Capps, Shoemaker, McCreary, Bush, Davis, Smith, Lawrence and Orr. The battalion marched out of the Chapel, and the graduates standing together, were cheered by the remain ing classes, “as those wjio leamus.” The graduates returned this withcheers for those “we leave behind.” Cadet Hewes, the honor man, and cadet Orr the last man, were separately cheered by tbei? fellow graduates, and the ceremonies were over.

The Pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church and Lady, who spent yesterday evening at the Fire men’s Festival, were surprised but delighted recipients, of one of the fin est of all the splendid cakes on the tables. They modestly but feeling testified their appreciation of the magnificent and immense “Pile of Sweetness,” not simply as a thing of material value, but as a token of the affection of the delightful ladies pre senting it. A grander lot of earnest and cultured female workers may be found in no other church, so the Pas tor thinks. Body Recovered. The body of the sailor, that wa3 missing from the U.

Ad establishment iu Bavaria for th manufacture and preserving of railroad sleeper* is able to turn out 500.000 sleep era a year, which is about one-tenth ol the number required annually for thi maintenance of the German railroads. A German paper says that a roof cat be m ule fireproof by covering it with a mixture of lime, salt and wood ashes, adding a little lampblack to give a dark color. This not only guards against fire, it is claimed, but also in a measure pre vents dcc. Artinciai oax is produced by mixing powdered cork with starch and water, and kneading the m iss while boiling hot until thorouglily mixed. This substanc* is then poured into molds for forming the article, and afterward dried at a very high temperature. The material is said to be quite light, and to possess non conducting properties. There is an invention spoken of which it is thought may abolish the bit. It ia called the earrago or anti-horse torture. It is composed of a steel band placed over the front bone of the horse’s nose, and to this appliance the reins is at tached. The inventor claims for this substitute for the bit that it gives com plete control to the driver over the horse without inflicting the least torture rn the ani nal itself. It has been tried with sat isfactory results, Pliny informs us that the art of mak ing glass was accidently discovered by some merchants who were traveling with nitre, and stopped near a river issuing from Mount Carmel. Not readily find ing stones to rest their kettles on, they employed some pieces of their nitre foi the purpose. The nitre gradually dis solving by the heat of the fire, mixed with the sand, and a transparent matter flowed, which was, in fact, glass. It ia certain that we are more indebted to chance than genius for many of the most valuable discoveries. According to Mr. John A. Ryder, of the United States Fish Commission, the green of oysters is not due to copper. He says that every test, chemical, phy sical and gastronomical, which has been tried at the instance of various investiga tors, has shown that the consumption of green-gillcd oysters is never attended with evil effects. 'The green is not pro duced by copper, as has been asserted by ignorant or prejudiced persons, but by a harmless vegetable coloring matter ab sorbed from the food upon which the animal feeds, and this matter is nearly identical in composition with the green coloring substance found in the leaves of i trees. Market Prices. Dogs bring all kinds of prices, accord ing to the fancy, but th.cre is a general rate which may be given a* follows: Black-and-tan terriers range from $20 1 to SSO, and Scotch terriers are a little lower. Skye terriers average $25. Italian terriers range from S2O to SBO. Spitz are sls to SBS. English pointers are $35 to $75, and water spaniels are the same, while King Charles spaniels are some higher. Siberian bloodhounds are $25 to SIOO, and English mastiffs are S4O to SIOO. A of mine paid $25 for a pup of this breed a few weeks ago, and is pleased with his purchase. St. Bernard's are SSO to $75. Fox hounds average S4O. Shep herd dogs are about tne same. These pri cs, however, gives one no idea of the fanciful value of the show animals. Here are five dogs, which arc rated at the modest sum of SIO,OOO each—(why do they not make it a million?) —while a score of others are valued at $5,000. One tiny pet wears a gold collar enriched with precious stones, and is Mr. Gilbert’s pet Blenheim, which weighs four pounds, and SI,OOO a pound would not buy him. President Arthur’s mastiff attracts much attention, and so do the champion coolies, near w hose bench one sees tne pri7.es they have taken at other exhibitions. Jay Gould's setters are alsO'i an interesting feature. Gould never hunts, j but being now the possessor of a grand f estate he finds such animals necessary to its completeness. The entries at this show are 1,170, and as this is an increase of 200 siucc last year, it is evident that j the dog fever is on the advance. The Mexican Congress. A letter from Mexico, describing a sitting of congress, says: The members wear faultless suits of black. Many of them, perhaps a majority, have white neckties, and white gloves. It is almost a full-dress affair. They are a tine looking body of men. Some of them have faces to be remembered. There is an astonishing uniformity of complexion. Black eyes, black hair, in whatever di- rection the observer turns. There is mot one blonde in the building, except among the handful of foreigners, who are attentive spectators. Most of the members, too, are of only middle age, or younger. Three gray and as many bald heads exhaust the list of excep tions to th s rule. One instinctively falls to speculating why there are no olti men for council here. The most natural con clusion is that the men of the last gen -ration either failed to reach middle life, because of the frequent bloody polit ii revolutions of their times, or else oerinue to be so far behind the hour hat the present progressive age has no use for them. Modern ideas are certain-, i y gaining ground in Mexico. And it is; fitting, if not inevitable,that modern men, I and they only, should expound them.: There ought to be a laige attendance of fair women to greet these brave men ani j ealous legislators. But there are not I two dozen women in the audience. jSJU H JUDIES’ department. Flowers In Paris. The London World says A new fashion, imported from America, has found favor in certain Parisian draw ing-rooms. As the guests arrive, in response to an invitation for a soiree dansante, they are met at the door by a young lady, who gives a small bou quet to each person, and insists that the flower shall be attached to the but ton-hole of the gentleman or the cor set of the lady. Each gentleman is then expected to seek out the lady who wears a nosegay similar in respect to his own, and he thereupon, after the customary salutations, becomes her partner for the rest of the evening. This compulsory coupling, when skil fully organized, favors many intrigues, promotes match-making, and affords a good opportunity for the display of spite, by bringing unsympathetic per sons together. Engagcmtut Ulnar.. The ow-ners of stones for engage ment rings are thus regarded in the great world which occupies itself with such small matters of taste and super stition The diamond, of course, is good all the year around. If it is suffi ciently pure it will warn the wearer of the treachery of his beloved object by breaking at the least blow of steel The pearl is fashionable, and also pre ferred by ideal poetic lovers, but it has a frightful secret influence, impelling to treachery or death. The ruby, by its color or brilliancy, is the image of eternal llame, and is the best possible omen. The sapphire means tender ness and truth. In Poland the stones are chosen according to the month in w-hich the engagement is made. The ruby for July, the pearl for May, the sapphire for January. For March the turquoise, which will turn green upon the inconstancy of the giver. The em erald, in June, is for fidelity, and Rus sians expect always to have one emer ald among the wedding gifts from the husband, as it is the omen of certain happiness. —San Francisco Argonaut.

Colors In l>ress. Nothing is so economical as hand_ some black, in spite of its first cost, since it may be turned and returned and made over again and again so long as it holds together, and Mrs. sharp eyes may fail to recognize it after each transformation. On the other hand, a colored dress in any positive shadS becomes marked after it has been w r orn two or three times, and however carefully combined or con verted into a new costume, is sure to be “shadowed” throughout its exist ence. Black, however, unless worn as mourning, is appropriate only for matrons and ladies who have passed the first blush. 'White, especially di aphanous fohite, is universally becom ing when softened by lace and trimmed with bows and rosettes in colored rib bon, in the pretty fashion now popu lar. Pale blue'is becoming to blondes and brunettes with clear complexions, since it has a tendency to darken the shadows. Pale pink and bright pink suit olive complexions and hair of dark, reddish-brown tint. Yellow has a tendency to make the skin look fair many reds will lend it a positively greenish hue; mauve gives it a yellow tint, and light green can be worn only by women w ith a perfect complexion. Indeed, the only way to tell whether a color is becoming is to hold a breadth of it about the head and neck, or if thi 3 is not practicable, throw r it about the shoulders close to the face. Cropping the Hair. The fashion of cropping the hair is fast gaining favor both in Europe and j America, and it is quite wonderful to discover how many ladies are w illing to sacrifice their wealth of shining tresses to a passing fancy. It is all very well while the fashion huts for the girls with pretty faces to transform themselves into bewitching little cu pids. but alas w hen short locks are pronounced old style, w hat then A smart hair dresser can cut off the fin est, longest head of hair in about five minutes, but the ultra fashionable vie tim who is thus shorn, must remember I that ibairill tak# live years to get those shining waves back again. The hair j lying in loose, fluffy rings all over the head is a pretty sight, but when one has become tired of it and decides to let the hair grow long a<pun, the trao sition state is anything but agreeable, when the locks grow to about the length of eight inches and hang straight and stubborn behind the ears— I too short to braid or put up in any man ner and too long to arrange in “mon tagues” or •fluffy haloes about the face- Ladies who cling to their luxuriant tresses, while looking, perhaps, a little out of style, will soon discover that they have made a hair-breadth escape from much annoyance and, perhaps, from the loss of considerable temper. New York Evening Post, The Silks That Wear Longest. After the silk passes from the dyer’s hands the manner in which it is woven is of essential importance. All other things being equal, goods woven with an equal weft and woof is the most durable, hence the strongest silk is the old-fashioned taffeta or glance silk of a i generation ago. Corded silks are beau tiful, butbetw’een the reps of the goods are interstices for the dust to collect in, w’hich, if allowed to remain, speed ily cuts into the fabric and no corded goods can be made without some part of the weave being heavier and exert ing a ..strain on the lighter portion. Taffeta silks, from the lightness of their construction, are usually hand made goods. Large quantities of in expensive striped and checked taffetas known as summer silks, are w’oven in Switzerland in a circuit of about thirty miles around the city of Zurich. Whole families of Swiss peasants, in. eluding the man of the house, his wife, sons and buxom daughters, are employed together at hand looms. A checked taffeta under a dollar will us ually outwear seveal silks which range in price from one to tw o dollars a yard and are made as silks at this price usually are, by the less durable pro cesses of the power-loom, where the ‘weaver never stops to tie a thread, and the delicate fibre of the silk must be tightly twisted to bear the strain of the rougher handling of wholesale work. A goods equally as strong as taffeta is India foulard, sometimes called handkerchief silk. These goods are woven in a country where the heathen workmen have not yet learned the clever shams which are practised in the Christian lands. All foulard silks are dyed and stamped after they are woven, except in the case of pongee silk, which is the natural color of the reeled silk-web. French foulards are an inferior machine-goods, and are mixed with large quantities of “chap-, pe,” or short silk, w hich is rough and liable to break apart at a slight strain. Short silk from long silk— which is the continuous thread spun by the w orm and reeled off at the filature —in being composed of the waste of the filature. The silk which is broken or tangled in reeling, the rough silk on the outside of every cocoon, and the slk of perforated cocoons from which the moth has emerged, are all torn apart and spun again by artificial means, like cotton or flax. Chappe is at best a species of silk “shoddy,” and is often mixed with cotton or some other vegetable fibre to strengthen it. Large quantities of foulard goods are made in this country w hich are similar to the French goods. The durable “Louisine” summer silks are w’oven w ith an even weft and woof, and are composed of raw’ or half-boiled silkr, part of the natural glue of the cocoon being left in the goods. Fashion Notes. Round feather fans are fashionable. Pinked ruffles and flowers are much worn. Silk and velvet butterflies are large ly used. Ruching around the sleeves is very popular. The new ribbon, embroidered with peacocks, is pretty. Some parasols have the lining shirred around the edge. Large bunches of flowers are seen on most summer hats. Lace pins are seen in the shapes of whole cats and alligators. Silver lace pins representing bunches of da’sies are charming. Silver and gilt w ings are frequently seen on bonnets. All sorts of redingotes are fashion able this season. k A dress recently seen had em broidered peacocks on the side panels. In seme transparent small bonnets the figured or beaded lace is put over the flowers. It is pleasant to record that the skirts for growing girls are perceptibly lengthened. Handkerchiefs made with a row of lace around the edge are worn stuck j in the bosom. Black Chantilly lace is again fashion able; entire dresses of it are worn on the otii r side. Embroidered tulle continues to hold its place among light materials for evening dress. The cravats and false shirt fronts affected by some ladies with tailor made suits are very ugly*. Beaded shoulder capes will be mucli worn over black dresses. They ar# made w ith high shoulders. Trainless dresses with Watteay effects, made of lace over pale satii; rhadamts, are popular in Paris. India shawls are formed into grace ful mantles by means of silver or gil| buckles used to hold the folds in place j A very pretty bonnet of jet bead) in diamonds over flimy silver net with j a w hite aigrette, on which is a bril liant jet butterfly. The tops of some fans are made o{ narrow’ ribbon of. two contrasting colors placed betw’een the sticks checker-board style. Parasols are trimmed with quanti ties of lace, and come in gay colors. The handsomest are either beautifully embroidered or hand-painted. Dress materials come with figures of walnuts to correspond with the bon nets trimmed with the real nuts, which are silvered or gilded. As a rule, only two materials are. used in one costume, but the rule i 9 often broken in favor of velvet, plain silk, and brocade all in one dress. The new r Moscow embroideries, which resemble tatting, is much used for trimming children’s light cashmere dresses, as well as white lawn and linen costumes. “All-over” embroideries on fine W’hite goods, and embroidered fioune ings to match are in new T and desirable patterns. They constitute some of the prettiest costumes of the season. Bonnets and round hats covered wqth escurial and other black nets, embroidered with steel and trimmed with aigrettes or tufts, frosted with steel, are exceedingly stylish. Finely cut steel buttons about the size of a ten-cent piece are observed on long coats of gray and and bronze buttons imitating ancient coins are liked for short, jaunty coats of any color. Sateens display all the deep and dainty colors, all the large and small patterns, and all the ct nv< nti< rial an bizzarre effects irnmaginable. A line sateen in a silk design can scarcely be distinguished from satin foulard. One of the latest novelties in millin ery is the Egyptian bonnet. A black lace square frame is covered with a web of jet and gold cord. At the sides is a shirring of coquilieot crepe. Aig rette and tips, shade, supply the garni ture. People who can bear violent con trasts are trimming black cashmere with Irish point. The effect is good when the h ippy medium is adhered to, but when there is much of the garni ture the result is rather displeasing than otherwise. Fable of the boose and the Hare. A Goose who was w’addling along ]he Highway in a great hurry was overtaken by a Hare vho asked: “What has called you out in such haste to-day “I am going to attend a Missionary Meeting!” was the reply. “I feel it my Solemn Duty to do something for the Heathen Children in London.” When she passed on the Hare turned into the Forest and soon dis* covered a Fox, to whom he said: “Friend Reynard, when a Detroit f Woman begins to save the Heathen Children of London what is the Natu ral sequence “Why, her own children go to the dogs, of course. That is, they will go r to the Fox, in case you are kind enough to point out the location.” As the Fox got ’em it does not seem necessary to add a moral.— Detroit _ Free Press.

George Bancroft, the historian, dj. rides his time between Newport and Washington,' says a letter from the atter place. He has a beautiful home it Newport and another in Washing .on. lie has no children of his own but his wife, who was a widow when 3e married her, has several, one of ihem being Col. Bliss, the well-known polition—although, like everybody ?lse, he would no doubt indignantly ienv the imputation. Mr. Bancroft enjoys the distinction of being the only private individual who has the privi lege of the floor of the Senate. This is not granted him in view of the former prominent official positions he has held, having been to England, but as a mark of respect for him person ally. President Arthur recognizes that the venerable historian is entitled to be treated with more than common consideration, as among the first in vitations to dinner lie received wa s one from Mr. Bancroft, who added that he feared that official etiquette would prevent the President from accepting it. President Arthur replied in a little note, saying that official etiquette al lowed him to dine with Cab inet officers, foreign ministers, Sen ators, and—Mr. George Bancroft. Mr Bancroft is now about 75 years old,and carries his age wonderfully. Ho has a profusion of white hair and beard which make the children call him Santa Claus. Some years ago, when he was first mellowed with age, ho w.v j rathea youthful and kittenish for his years. It is related that when ho \va along in his fifties he did not earn for any young lady who was over 17 but, although he still loves the society of the young, he has long since got over the giddy tastes to which old yotiag gentlemen are subject. He goes some what into society and always manage, to attend one or two presidential le vees during the w inter. He is a great lover of flow r ers and horseback riding, His rose gardens at New port and in Washington are both marvels of tasti and beauty, and the old gentleman trots every visitor who conies to sep. him out into his big, oH fashioned garden to admire his pets.

Royal Elephant. Fights. A royal Elephant fight in Bur mah is thus described: “There were fifteen elephants on a side. A pair of them are never started alone at a fight. The fights are always arranged for the amusement of the nobles, and are great events. The battle is terrific The elephants are given toddy, made out of the fermented juice of the palm, which they drink out of bucket? Jersey lightning is like water compar ed to the stuff. It makes the elephants reel and tumble about like drunken men. They snort and trumpet and create a terrible racket. In the fight at Theyatmo the mahouts or drivers straddled their necks and urged them on. The beasts had been maldened by prodding and beating and rushed at each other like mad. There w ere some that wheeled around and ran away, but those that kept on made the earth shake when they came to gether. They ran right into each other. They locked tusks, and gored and lashed one another with their trunks. Tusks were run into elephant shoulders six or eight inches. The fights in India are tne same, of course I In Burmah fights take place between elephants and tipers. King Theban has men fight tigers. The Burmese in power are cruel. One king used t* make the people lie down for his pen} to walk over.”

One night General Dow, Hfho had been captured by Colonel troops, was lodged in the yipincjpil hotel at Jacksonville, Fla. news spread among the people of town and the surrounding country the Confederate troops had a real Federal general at the hotel.

Some wonderful stories are being told about one of Bridgeport’s charac ters, a fellow' named Joe Lander, whose life has been spent in roving all over the globe. Years ago Joe shipped before the mast on a Norwegian bark bound from Lisbon to South America, and was shipwrecked on a barren is land which forms one of the group of the Azores. With tw'o others he reached the land. There they found nothing but shellfish on which to ex ist. When these w ere exhausted the sailors agreed to swim back to the vessel and endeavor to obtain provi sions. Joe was the only one who reached the wreck, the others having become exhausted and gone down in the sea. Joe managed to climb on board that portion of the ship that was out of water, where he sank down completely worn out. lie lay in a stupor for some time, and upon re turning to consciousness he w as covered with rats and mice w'hieh had been driven from their usual haunts by the waves. In his desperation he seized one of the mice and sw allowed it without the process of mastication. It pro duced a peculiar sensation, but brought renew ed life, and as the story goes, he lived on mice for a long time, as all the provisions of the vessel were under water and out of reach. A passing vessel finally relieved him from his imprisonment and landed him in Liverpool. Afterward he drifted to this country and engaged in various means of making a livelihood. Now he is in the employ of the Housatonic Railroad. His duties are to clean the cars .at vho yard and in the houses in the city. It is asserted that he still indulges his strange appetite whenever opportunity offers. Hurd’s grain ele vation is infested with mice and affords many meals to old Joe, it is said. The little animals are caught by the em ployes and taken to Joe, W’ho devours one to satisfy his appetite, and stores the remainder away between his flan nel shirt and his body until hungry again, when he will draw forth tw'o or three and swallow them without a w'ink. It is further related that the eldest son inherits in a measure the curious appetite of his queer old father, St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Water as a Railway Motive Power. A newspaper correspondent, writing from Switzerland, tells of a curiou railway as follows “The picturesque a nd practical are often curiously inter mixed. I glean a few particulars of a funicular railway which connects Ter ritet (Chillon) and Glion. The rail w ay. which is on a steep incline, some think after the style of tha one up Mount Vesuvius, commences at an angle of 32 degrees and soon increases to 57 degrees. It is a single line with a loop as a passing place half way. There are two carriages on the line, one of which ascends while the other descends. The ascending carriage is drawn by the force of gravity of the one which is descending, the latter be ing weighted by a reservoir placed un derneath being filled with water. The reservoir is emptied as soon as the car riage has made the descent. The two vehicles are connected with each other by means of a wire cable, which pass es over a wheel at the summit of the incline, lly the passenger a remark, able illusion is experienced. Trees, huts, houses, rocks, all seem to be bent back, ns though by some enchant ment. They are apparently standing out of the perpendicular, and one can scarcely help wondering that they do not topple over. The deception is due to the seats of the carriages, w hich are constructed at such an angle that, not withstanding the steepness of the gra dient, the occupant preserves his ordi nary upright sitting posture. The line is 743 yards long, and the difference between the level and its base and that of its summit is 984 feet.” Dbillusiooed. A Clifton girl who married a poor young man and who has in conse quence been practicing domestic duties has lost fabhinthe entire social system. The other evening hei husband came in at six o’clock to supper and handed her a paper folded and sealed. “What is it dear?” she said, tender ly. “An insurance policy on my life, darling, for $10,000." “Whv, love, you already have one What did you want with another?** “Angel mine, I ate two pieces ot taut pie you had for dinner. i l PRESIDENTIAL FAVORITES.

MTATE l>:nO('HATl(: i’OWK.VriO’V, The Democratic Stute Convention of Maryland met in Ford’s Opera House, Baltimore yesterday, and selected delegates to the national nominating convention at Chicago on July 8, as follows Four Delegates at Large. Hon. Charles J. M. Gwinn, of Baltimore City Richard Hynson, of Kent coun ty Hon. William Walsh, of Alle gany, and Hon. John Lee Carroll, of Howard, and fourteen congressional delegates—among whom was the name of Dr. George Wells of this county. The eight presidential electors were Thomas J. Keating, Gen’l Bradley T. Johnson, Clement Sullivane, Patrick H. Walker, Harry E. Mann, Skip with Wilmer, Henry F. Spalding and Henry H. Keedy. Senator Gorman, as chairman of the State Central Committee, called the meeting to order at 12.25 p. m.— All the delegates were present, and the Opera House was well filled with spectators. Senator Gorman made an eloquent opening address, which was well re ceived. On motion Philip D. Laird, of Montgomery, was made temporary president, and Thos. H. Moore and It. G. Ilehry, secretaries. Committees on credentials, perma nent organization and resolutions, were appointed, and a recess was ordered while the committees were out for deliberation. After a brief ab sence the committees reported as per manent officers Mr. Laird president; a vice-president from each county and legislative district; and Moore and Henry, secretaries. Gov. Whyte, reported a series of resolutions setting forth the principles of the Maryland democracy which w r ere clear, sharp and decisive, and unanimously accepted. The state central committee "Was authorized to fill vacancies, if any oc cur, and at 4 p. m., the convention ad journed. With the exception of a discussion raised by State Senator Gill, the con vention was harmonious in all its de liberations.

I The convention thus organized for the reul business in hand, adjourned till 8 o’clock. At the night session the states we-e called in alphabetical order for the presentation of names of candidates. The presentation of the name of Blain by Judge West, of Ohio, caused a scene of the wildest enthusiasm. Blaine’s nomination was seconded by six delegates. The names of Presi dent Arthur, Senators Hawley, Logan, Edmunds and Sherman were also presented. Blanc’s friends were desirous of forcing a ballot during the night, but his enemies were opposed to it. After these names w r ere presented, the convention, after considerable fili bustering, adjourned at 1 a. uf. to 10 a. in. to-day.
