Each nation being represented bv a
| characteristic facade, the whole not
| only a comprehensive idea of the ex
hibiting countries, but also of the
space occupied by each. But beware
of beepming too interested, for one
incautious step lauds you in a mud
puddle. We noticed a great deal of
uote-takiug under these trying cir
cumstances, which might appropri
ately be called cursory.
Tbe United Kingdom heads the list
and usurps here, as in the interior,
the lion s share of space. The first
in order, solid and trim, rather
than ornamental, is a one story
brick cottage for the accommodation
of the English jury. This is follow
ed by the much larger two-story pa
vdhou of the Priuce of Wales. An
other of our cherished illusions gone !
The abode set apart for the future
ruler of the vast domains over which
tho sun never sets, is constructed of
plebeian sandstone. The invis
ible “ divinity which doth hedge a j
king,” seems to have been consider- j
ed insufficient—an l no wonder in
these degeuerite, socialistic days—to
keep out the crowds of curious vis
itors. A stout iron railing before the
door of the pavillion debars the en
trance to all not previously provided
with cards of admisiou from the Eng
lish Commissioner. A necessary
precaution, for the completely-fur
nished apartments, consisting of a
dining, reading, sitting and bed
rooms, are strewn with rare and cost

The celebrated Doulton A Lam

elaborate little structure of red and
yellow bricks, ornamento t with
rouud, shining plates of blue enamel.
It seems to aim at what the old lady
called the “ironical gothieal” style of
architecture. Two models of old
English country-houses complete the
long line of English facades. Tho
second, with tho heavy, overhanging
upper story, and the curious, small
square window panes, represents a
cottage of tho time of Queeu Eliza

A Tower for the Worship of the Un
known God.
I am going to tell you of a trip to
the mountain of Texcosingo, famous
iu Aztec days us being the pleasure
garden and retreat of the Indian po
et-king, Nt zuhuaeoyolt. From Tex
coco the trip is wildly picturesque
and grandly beautiful. The cu
riously constructed bath of Ntz
ahuacoyolt is cut from a solid block
of granite overhanging the brow of
the hill. The block has a smooth
surface several yards square and
dropping from its center is a circu
lar basin some three or four feet deep
and a dozen or more in circumfer
ence. Out of one side is cut a seat
for the ac *ommodation of the bather,
while rising from the surface a littlo
back is another, having a perfect
chair form, with a rest off one
side of tbe at m. Protecting the out
er side of this iu a wall, a part of the
same rock, into which seats have
been cut, and various little niches iu
the form of miniature steps, which
might have been used by the old In
dian monarch as a receptacle for his
toilet paraphernalia.
Following along the still well pre
served path, we came to a chamber
cut into the side of the hill, now un
roofed and in ruins, tho lloor being
strewn with debris. At the end of
this vaulted chamber was a raised
platform a foot in height and several
feet square, hewn from solid rock,
and on each corner back of this,were
niches chiseled out, with fragments
of cement still clinging to the sides.
We have since learned that between
these, above tbe platform, there still
remained at the beginning of the
present century a large calendar stone
which was later destroyed by the
neighboring Indians in se reh of
treasure. This curious work must
have cost its builders a vast amount
of labor.
i Separating himself from the cares
if his kingdom, Nez ihuacoyolt came
for retirement to his beautiful moun
tain, and here, four times every day
for forty days, on bended knees, he
offered prayer aud incense to “the
all-powerful God, hidden aud un
known.” It is said that in answer
to these earnest appeals a vision ap
peared to one of his servants in at
tendance, directing him to go at once
to his master with the comfortitig as
surance that the unseen God had
been pleased to accept his prayers
and offerings, ami would avenge him
by the hands of his sou, Axoquatziu,
a boy of only 17 years. The king
could not accept the super-natural
vision, which was, however, fulfilled.
Nezahuacoyolt, upon hearing of the
fulfillment of what he had considered
a false prophecy, retired in humilia
tion to the garden of his palace, and
kneeling on the ground, gave thanks
to the unknown God for his sigual
benefits, promising to build a temple
to his house, to abstain from idola
trous worship and human sacrifices,
and to alone acknowledge the supre
macy of the unknown God. In com
pliance with his vow, he built a tower
uine stories high, the interior of
which he garnished with gold and
precious stones, and the exterior he
covered with black cement, embel
lished with stars. The workmanship
was of the most expensive order. In
this superb tower were stationed
men, whose duty it was, at certain
boors of the day, to strike upon
plates of tine metal, at the sound of
which the monarch fell upon Ins
knees in prayer.
Lord Beaconstield arrived in Eng
land from the Berlin Congress on
Tuesday. A great assemblage of oeo
ple awaited his coming and gave him
an ovation.
Street-cars by Air Power
While Professor Edison is working
out his phonautograpb, and study
ing the effects therefrom, the Second
Vvenue Kailroad lias been perfecting
a means of obviating the difficulties of
the Metropolitan Elevated Hoad. A
month or two ago t:e officers of the
Second Avenue Company successful
ly experimented with a car made un
der the auspices of the Pneumatic
Engine Tramway Company. The
sys'em is based on the fact that at
mospheric air is capable of being
compressed into very small compass,
and giving a reservoir of energy re
presenting the mechanical force em
ployed in compressing it. This be
ing liberated and applied to an im
proved engine, the force can be used
as a motive power, aud be under the
perfect command of even an inexperi
enced driver after a few trials. So
satisfactory were the results of the
experiments that iu a few weeks
half a dozen cars will be running in
Second aviune from Ninety-sixty to
One Hundred and Twenty-uinth
street without visible means of mo
tion.
The eir used for the experimental
trips last April has been remodeled,
an.* will start again with passengers
regularly'next Monday. As fast as
possible the whole line of railroad
will be supplied with rapid transit,
at a speed of forty miles an hour,
if necessary, from Harlem to the City
Llaii. The old cars will be utilized,
and the horse service aud the dan
gers attendant on steam done away
with at a small cost and great saving.
At Kerr’s machine shop, Fifty-fifth
street aud First avenue, is a work
ing model of the car. Tho foreman
of the shop, iu answer to an inquiry,
said: Hebert Hardie, of Glasgow,
and John James, of Edinburg, are
nmv employed by the Company on
the utilizitioa of the old street cars.
A citizm of New York met these two
engineers in Glasgow'last year, and
on his representations they came to
this country. They intended to give
Scotland the benefit of their com
pressed air service, but America will
first reap the advantages. In De
cember last they built their first car
at the Depot of the Second Avenue
Railway'Company, audit was pro
uouuced very sucessful.”
“Does it make noise in transit?” was
asked.
“Very little,’’was the answer. “It
is comparatively noiseless. If the
Metropolitan Lino were to run these
carriages on tlieir road the doctors
and Sixth avenue residents would not
have much to complain of. Besides,
as ei oh car lias its own motor, and as
the Elevated runs threo carriages and
an engine, 75 per cent, of the noise
would be at once obviated by one car
running at a time. That is, of course,
granting that the noise arising
from each was equal to what it is
on the Metropolitan lino. Cars then
could easily lie run one at a time
every half miimto instead of every
three minutes. Tho pneumatic force
has never been used to c.irry r passen
gers by wholesale before. It has,
however, been found of great service
in England. By a tubular applica
tion the General Post-office, Lon
don, transmits its mail bags from
place to plae?. These heavy weights
are uhot along tubes on the princi
ple of the air-gun. Often one or two
persons have safely ventured to be
transported by this means.”
“Will you explain the workings?’
was the next question.
Taking a tin model iu his hand,
the engineer pointed out two long
compressed air receivers of steel, t hat
are placed under the seats of the ear,
and six for idling under the end plat
forms. “The eight," ho said, “are
connected by cylinders, and are fixed
inside of iron frames between the
wheels of the car. These are connect
ed with an engine situated uuder the
ear, between the crank axles and
wheels. The air is pumped inside
the receiver by a rubber hose attach
ed to a compressing engine at the de
pots. Anew 500-horse power en
gine, especially made for the purpose,
will take about one minute to give
each car its supply of motive power.
This will be less time than is often
taken to change horses. The driver
stands in the same position as at pre
sent to work the starting, reversing
and braking gear that is of the old
locomotive style. It is a lever, and
can be handled by any one, and not
necessarily an engineer. In running
down an incline the engine is trans
formed into an air-pump and creates
new power.”
“Will there be any pecuniary sav
ing?”
“Considerable. Mr. Ilardie, the
Chief Engineer, has calculated from
published statistics that the present
cost of horse-shoeing, feed, harness
repairing, stable expenses, and re
placing of horses alone, amount up in
New York to over two million dol
lars per annum. To run a two-horse
street-car it costs on an average, all
told, $lO (50 a day. ’To run the 1,-
500 horse-cars now used cost nearly
$0,000,000. The entire expenses of
the pneumatic system would be a
little over $2,000,000. The total
saviug would bo somewhere abjut
$3,500,000. It is calcu'ated that
the pneumatic system can be worked
at least thirty pi r cent, cheaper than
steam.”
“What other advantages will there
be in the proposed method?”
“Very many. Animals would not be
excited no the road by the whistling
and puffing of the steam cars. The
guys, pillars and other paraphernalia
of the elevated roads would be need
less. Where these now exist they
could be utilized, as well as the sur
face street rails There would be no
escape of hot steam or blazing cin
ders to set awnings on fire. It would
do away with the aroma of horse
railroads and of coal-gas with its sul
phuric vapors. The terrible cata
logue of diseases cited by the physi
cians as probable to result from the
noise ot the Metropolitan would be
entirely obviated. After all, fifty
per cent, saviug on horso-power and
thirty on steam would be the most
important advantage to be derived
from the pneumatic tramway sys
tem.”
Sunstroke.
The following report of the Sani
tary Commission of the New 7 York
Board of Health upon sunstroke has
been approved and published by tbe
board;
“Sunstroke is caused by excessive
heat, and especially if the weather is
‘muggy.’ It is more apt to occur on
the second, third or fourth day of a
heated term than on the first. Los 9
of sleep, worry, excitement, close
sleeping rooms, debility, abuse of
stimulants, predispose to it. It is
more apt to attack those working in
the sun, and especially between the
hours of eleven o’clock iu the morn
ing and four o’clock iu the afternoon.
Oq hot days wear thin clothing.
Have as cool sleeping rooms as possi
ble. Avoid loss of sleep and all un
necessary fatigue. If workiug in
doors, aud where there is artificial
heat —laundries, etc, see that the
room is well ventilated.
“If working iu the sun, wear a
light hat (not black, as it absorbs
heats;, straw, etc., and put inside of
it on the head a wet cloth on a large
green leaf ; frequently lift the hat
from the head aud see that the cloth
is wet. Do not check perspiration,
but jlrink what w r ater you need to
keep it up, as perspiration prevents
the body from being overheated.
Have whenever pioseible, au addition
al shade, as a thin umbrella, when
walking, a canvass or btoad cover
when working in the sum. When,
much fatigued do not go to work, but
be excused from work, especially af
ter II o’clock in the morning ou very
hot d|iys, if the work is iu the sun.
If a feeling of latigue, dizziness,
headache, or exhaustion occurs,
cease work immediately 7, lie down iu
a shade and cool place ; apply cold
cloths t> and pour cold water over
head and neck. If any one is over
come by the heat, send immediately
for the nearest good physician.
While, waiting for the physician give
the person cool drinks of water, or

Howard draws Blood.
A dispatch from Howard, dated
Head of Birch Creek, July Sth, says
that, ho found the Indians at the
head of Butler Oreok, and on that
day be advanced tw 7 o columns, one
under Throckmorton, of two compa
nies of .irtillery, one infantry, and a
few volunteers; the other under Ber
nard, seven companies of cavalry
aud twenty 11 ibbins scouts; Howard
accompanied tho latter. Bernard’s
scouts notified him of tho vicinity of
the hostiles, when the cavalry moved
forward at a trot over three hills,
each over a mile in ascent. The In
dians were strongly posted on a,
rockv crest. One company left with
a pack train; others were deployed
and advanced handsomely under a
heavy tire. The enemy were driven
from its position to another height,
in the rear of a greater elevation and
crowned with, a natural defense of
lava beds. For twenty minutes this
position was also stormed from the
different sides at once, aud a rapid
pursuit commenced of llying Indians,
who abandoned horses, provisions,
ammunition and camp material.
The hostiles made for thick timber
crowning the Blue llidge and made
another stand, but were again dis
lodged and pushed four or five miles
further into the mountains. Rough
country and tho great exhaustion of
men and horses caused a cessation of
the pursuit for the day. In the en
gagement five of the enlisted men
were wounded and about twenty
horses killed. It is impossible to
state the loss of tho enemy. Their
women, children aud best horses
were moved before the fight began,
apparently in the direction ox .the
Grand Rjnde, as the hostiles lied in
that direction.
Sowing the "Winds.
We wonder if it ever occurred to
the higher law party of the North
that, the examples set, when the
South was forcibly deprived of mill
ions of dollars worth of property
without remuneration, could be fol
lowed successfully by others, and
that iu sowing the wind they would
reap the whirlwind ? If superior
numbers and force of arms gave the
North the right to deprive the South
of its property, it follows that supe
rior numbers and force of arms give
the millions of white slaves at the
north the right to deprive the moneyed
aristocracy of theirs. Since this eu
vious class of political vampires used
the working men as instruments for
cue oppression and robbery of the
South,.and taught them that theirs
was God’s service, it will be no won
der if they turn those teachings and
experience to their own advantage
by the confiscation of tueir oppres
sor’s goods and the enactment of a
bloody revolution.
Before tho abolishment of slavery
the South furnished an effectual bar
rier against any formidable attack
upon the government or the rights
of property. The Southern States
were the very balance wh el which,
by its conversation and freedom from
“strikes” and popular uprisings, ren
dered impossible any very serious
interference with property or politi
cal rights. Now, however, a prece
dent has been established, men have
been taught that might is right, and
the time will come, unless relief is
soon afforded by wise legislation and
timely remedy for the real grievan
ces of the starving millions, when
some bold, unscrupulous man will
head two million of tranipi or un
employed men and Mexicaiize our
country.
Tim’s Kit.
It surprised the shiners and news
boys around the Post-office the other
day to see “Limpy Tim” come among
them iu a quiet way, to hear
him say:
“Boys, I waut to sell my kit.
Heres two brushes, a hull box of
blacking, a good stout box, aud the
outfit goes for two shillings !”
“Goiu’ away, Tim? ’ queried one.
“Not ’zactly, boys, but I want a
quarter the awfullest kind just now.”
“Goin’ on a ’ecursion ?” asked an
other.
“Not to-day, but I must ha\ 7 e a
quarter,” he auswered.
One of the lads passed over tbe
change and ’took the kit, and Tim
walked straight to the counting room
of a daily paper, out down his mon
ey, aud eaid:
“I guess I kin write if you’ll give
roe a pencil.”
With slow-moving fingers he wrote
a death notice It went iuto the pa
per almost as he wrote it, but you
might not have seen it. He wrote:
“Died—Litul Ted—of scarlet fe
ver; aigod three yeres. Funeral to
morrer; gone up to Hevin; left won
brother.”
“Was it your brother?” asked the
cashier.
Tim tried to brace up, but he
couldn't. The big tears came up,
his chin quivered and he pointed
to the notice on tho counter aud
gasped:
“I---? had to sell my kit to do it,
b—but he had his arms around my
neck when he d—died !”
He hurried away home, but the
news went to the boys, and they
gathered in a group aud talked.
Tim had not been home au hour
before a bare-footed boy left the kit
ou the door-step, and in tue box was
a bouquet of flowers which had been
purchased iu the market by pennies
contributed by the crowd of ragged
but big-hearted urchins. Did God
ever make a heart which would not
respond if tho right chord was
touched ?—Detroit Free Fress.
Tin* Yellow Fever.
Reports received by Surgeon Gen
eral Woodworth, of the Marine hos
pital service, show that during the
week ending July Gth there were 93
deaths from yellow 7 fever at Havaua
and G from small pox, a large in
crease in tho former aud a decrease
in the latter disease. Advices re
ceived from Matanzvs show an in
crease of yellow fever to have spread
to nearly all the vessels in port,
though but few deaths occurred. At
Key West, up to the 10th iu9t, , 5
eases of yellow fever. The first threo
cases were iu shipping from Havana,
and the last two were not connected
with the shipping. The city is
healthy aud t here are no fears of au
epidemic. The report of the board
of medical officers of the navy desig
nated to investigate the causes of the
appearance of yellow fever on the
Vermont, at New York, lias been re
ceived at the navy department. The
board is of o union that it originated
from the ballast of the bark Juniata
Clara, which left Havana May Ist.
This ballast, quarry clippings and
sand, was deposited on the dock on
either side of tho Vermont, about one
hundreds yards distant from her. It
contained the germ of the disease,
which was aggravated iuto fever by
the excessive heat. No new cases of
yellow fever have been reported in
Brooklyn, aud the three sailors ou
board of tho U. S. snip Vermont,
who are down with tho malady, are
convalescing. It is believed the
spread of the disease has bsen
checked.
Aii Arkansas Cow.
The yield of milk from northern
dairy cows is incredible to the people
in regions where cattle are raised
mostly for beef and hides.
Judge Grant was in Little Rock,
Arkansas, in attendance on the Uni
ted States Court. One morning he
saw a farmer with a slouch hat, and
a genuine butternut suit, trying to
sell a cow in the market there. It
was a large, long horned animal, and
a planter was informing a man that
the cow would give four quarts of
milk a day, if fed well.
Up stepped the Judge. “What
do you ask for that cow ?”
“About S3O. She’ll give live quarts
of milk, if you feed her well,’’ replied
the planter, and he proceeded to de
scribe her good qualities.
S tid the Judge: “I have cows on
my farm, not much more than half
as big as your cow, which give twen
ty to twenty-five quarts of milk a
dav.”
The planter eyed the Judge sharp
ly for a moment, as if trying to re
member whether he had ever seen
him before or not, and then asked:
“Stranger where do you live? ’
“My home is in lowa.’’
‘ Yes, stranger, I don t dispute it.
There was heaps of sogers from lo
wa down here during the war, and,
stranger, they was the all firedest
liars in the whole Yankee army.
Mebbe you mougkt be an officer in
some of them regiments?”

Proverbs for Subscribers.

Hope deferred maketh the heart

Beautiful Allegory.
Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, was
at one time defending a mau who
had been indicted for a capital of
fense. After an elaborate and
powerful defense, he closed his effort
with the following striking aud beau
tiful allegory :
‘•When God in his eternal council
conceived the thought of man’s crea
tion, he called to him the three min
isters who constantly wait upon the
throne—justice, truth aud mercy —
and thus addressed thorn : Shall we
make man ?”
Then said justice, O, God, make
him not, lor he will trample upon
thy laws. Truth made answer also,
God, make him not, for he will pol
lute Thy sactuaries. But mercy,
dropping upon her knees and look
ing up through her tears, exclaimed,
O, God, make him, I will watch over
him with my care through all the
dark paths which he may have to
tread. Then God made man, and
said to him, O, man, thou art the
child of mercy ; go and deal merciful
ly with thy brother.”
The jury, when he had finished,
were bathed in tears, and against evi
dence, and what mint have Coai*
over their own convictions, brought in
a verdict of not gu lty.
Gen. Toombs says of G >m nanism ;
No, we have nothing to 1 ar at

The former in France aud Germany
has been practiced aud agitated
among the intellects and cultured
men of the realm. Why Robespierre,
you know was a gentleman, and even
Nobeling, who attempted to kill Em
peror William, is a scholar. Com
munism, on the contrary, begins on
the lower walks, and is generally
agitated among laborers and disaffec
ted people of the poorer classes.
They are both the outgrowths of un

An intelligent farmer of DesM fines
county has invented a henophoue,
modeled on the principles of the
telephone, by which one old leliable
hen occupying a central olli -e in the
heuery sits on all the nests ab mt the
establishment, leaviug o lor fowls
free to lay eggs, scratch and cackle.
As soon as anew nest contains
enough eggs it is connected with the
office by a copper wire, and the busi
ness is settled. The only trouble
with the machine is that it sits so
hard it hatchei out the porcelain
uest eggs with the others, so that
one chick in every nest is born with
glass eyes, and the farmer has to
buy and train a dog to lead it
around. Th s makes it expensive.

The late Mr. A. T. Stewart, the
millionaire, once came to the conclu
sion that, although advertising was
a good thing as a ladder, it was of
no great benefit to him, as his name
sold the goods. Asa test, one de
partment only of his establishment
was advertised. Its business ever
topped that of the others so imme
diately and bo largely that Mr. Stew
art concluded that to get the full
power of his name it must appear in
printer’s ink. His advertising mana

tised more largely than ever in the

served him forty-nine years. This
person, he said, ruled almost su

retiring to rest without bidding the
old servant good night.
Reputation and character are lwo
things which must never be confoun
ded. The one is external, the other
is internal. The one is determined
by what other people say of ns; the
other is our utmost and real self.
The one may vary with the caprices
of the people; the other remains un
affected by the breath of applause or
the mask of hypocrisy. Sometimes
a man, from certain circumstances,
may have a very good reputation,
though his character is radically bad,
and there have been cases in which
the noblest man in point of charac
ter have baen, just because they
were acting out their principles, m
very poor repute.
