Special attention will lie given to make this summer service satisfactory and to forward papers by the most direct and quickest routes. “One hundred and one in the shade,” causes joy only to the ice dealer. A politician should know not so much “how not to do it” as “how not to say it.” Are church revivals more numerous just, now because it is easier to have “a melting time” in hot weather than at other times. 1 Gen. Hickenlooper, ox-Lieutenant Gov ernor of Ohio, has gone to Europe. He doubtless means to give his name, as well as himself, a vacation. In hot weather every man should keep in mind the word “abstain.” Too much eating a;id too much drinking make many corpses at this season of tho year. A letter written by George Washington has been discovered at Newport, R. I. Of course each of the hotels at t hat, famous re sort w'ill claim to have the only original copy. __ It is said that the Georgians now visiting Europe do not make themselves conspicuous. This is accounted for by the fact that Geor gians are generally well trained in the school of manners. Capt. Jouis. a Frenchman, will attempt, in October, to make a balloon voyage across the Atlantic, from Paris to New York. It would be well for hint to provide himself with plenty of life preservers. rhiring tho last three years the strikes of American workmen have resulted in bring ing 1,000,000 foreign workmen to this coun try to fill places and earn wages. “It is an ill wind that, blows nobody good.” And now it is said that a good deal of Boston capital is interested in the Bnltimore and Ohio deal, IVrhaiis when capital from all the other cities in the Union becomes in terested the deal will be consummated. The steamer Haseler, of the United States coast survey, is taking Queen Kapiolani and her suite to Honolulu. Hives the fact in dicate that the government means to act as protector to the Queen and her sjvouse, the gay King Kalakaua? While on a coaching journey in Scotland, the other day, Mr. Blaine drank nothing stronger than ginger ale. He hasn't forgot ten how the three It’s., the first of which stood for rum, knocked his Presidential us pirations into a cooked hat. The statement is made that most of the members of the General Assembly sjvend Sundays at home. Thus the railroad jvass is an aid to religion, for, of course, no mem ber of the General Assembly would dare to spend his Sundays at home without going to church. R. B. Hayes served one term in Oo&gnu and made no record. He served one term in the office of President with a like result. His experience, however, seems to have fitted him for chicken raising, and no doubt he is satisfied. Ex-Gov. Bullock ought to let him alone. Tho suspended District Assembly, 126, of the Knights of I-atxir, is issuing a secret circular headed: “Why the General Officers Should lie Deposed.” Unfortu nately for 12(1, the general officers of the Knights of Labor know a trick worth two of iisuing secret circulars. They have an “organ” through which to defend them solves. Uscur V. Beckwith, of Hudson, N. Y,, n miner who niurderod a man and then ate portions of the holy of his victim, is soon to be hanged. It is almost incredible, but a fact nevertheless, that a number of young women have presented dowel's to Beckwith and otherwise made much of him. This sort of insanity seems to alTcct young women in all parts of the country. Far-away Nebraska is preparing to send a military company to Philadelphia in Hcp toinber to take part in the celebrat ion of tho constitution’s centennial. Georgia ought not to withou' a military representation upon Glut occasion. In view of the fact t hat it -was at Huvannuh that tho .State bad its beyinning, tho military organizations of t.iia city should take steps to be represented. It would not be very expensive t> send a company to PloUuWpiiia Isteamship Tho Grand Army a Political Organ ization. No hotter evidence is needed that the Grand Army of the Republic is becoming a political organization, if indeed it is not already one, than the attitude which it has assumed toward tho President. Its hostility to him is not based upon any good reason, and if the truth were known it would prol. ably appear that its aim in attacking him is to injure the Democrat! ; party. It is worthy of notice that the leading officers of the organization are Republicans, and that whatever it does receives the united support of \ha Republican papers. It finds fault with the Presid nt because lie vetoed the dependent pension bill and a number of private pension bills, and it pretends that because of the se vetoes he is not the friend of the ex-Union soldiers. Members of tile organization threatened to remain away from the grand encampment at St. Louis, in October, if it w’ere under stood that the President would lie present, and other members indulged in talk that in duced the President to cancel his acceptance of the St. Louis invitation. Asa matt,ter of fact the President’s pen sion record is much better than that of any of his predecessors. This fact, however, doesn't appear to count for anything with the Grand Army politicians. Gen. Grant, during the eight years lie was in office, ap proved 485 private pension acts, and Mr. Hayes approved SUM during his term. Gar field and Arthur together approved 736. President Cleveland, whose term is only a little more than half gone, has approved Sflii. A glance nt these figures will show that he has approved 77 more than Grant, and Hayes together, and 127 more than Garfield and Arthur. YV hen it comes to appointments the records show that, he has not, forgotten the ex-Union soldiers. On the contrary he has appointed more of them to office than any other Presi dent, and he has signed several general pen sion bills that have 1 men passed since he has been in office. These include an increase of pension to 7!1,98(1 widows, minors and de pendent, relatives, an increase of [tension to 10,0.10 crippled ex-Union soldiers, and the I tension to Mexican veterans. That President Cleveland has approved more pension legislation than any other Presi - dent, and that a Democratic House has been exceedingly liberal in legislation of that sort, will not lessen the hostility of the Grand Army to the President. It regards him as the next nominee of the Democratic party, and it is opposed to his election and to the election of any other Democrat. It is con trolled by Republican politicians and is being used to advance the interests of the Repub lican party. A Republican Rascal. The anxiety which the Republican news papers show in their efforts to prove that Oscar Harvey, the Treasury official who was lately detected in robbing the Treasury, is a full-fledged Democrat is amusing. The late defaulting cashier of the Patent Office was a Republican and they would like to have it appear that all the rascals are not Republicans. They cannot prove that Har vey is a Democrat, however, although he was appointed by the present administra tion. His appointment was procured by influential Republicans just as the appoint ment of some Democrats were procured by influential Democrats when t he Republicans were in power. If thereover was any doubt about Har vey’s politics it was removed a day or two ago by the discovery of a speech in his desk which he delivered during the last National campaign. The speech is Republican in its tone throughout. In that speech he said that all the Democrats wanted to get into power for was to mb the government. That statement, together with his thieving acts after ho obtained an office, is all that is necessary to stamp him as a Republican. It is astonishing that Harvey, having such a record as ho had, could get the en dorsements of such men as Whitolaw Reid, Wayne McVeigh and Gov. Hoyt, but he did get them, and on the strength ot them ho got tho office ho was after. An effort has lieen made to show that Samuel J. Randall endorsed him, but it has failed. Mr. Randall says that he only endorsed the men who endorsed Harvey, and that he withdrew that endorsement when he found out what sort of a man Harvey was. Clear ly Harvey is a Republican rascal, and he ought never to have been given a chance to rob the government. An Incident in Krupp’s Life. It is said that tho leading newspapers of Europe ore full of anecdotes and historical reminiscences of the late Frederick Krupp, the great gunmaker of Essen. That ho was a -remarkable man, ;nttl that he exerted a "great influence in the affaire of tho world there is no doubt. His immense establishment at Essen will be conducted by his eldest son, who, while jierliaps not possessing his father's ability, understands the business thoroughly, and is capable of conducting it successfully. It is said that in the centre of the grounds occu pied by the Essen works there is a little building containing a few old style forges, and facilities for molding iron in a rather rude way. This was the beginning of the famous Kruppcstahlishinrnt, and it presents about the same appearance now that it did in 1813, when t In famous Krupp was horn. On one occasion, a few years ago, when the Kaiser was visit ing the works, Krupp pointed out to him Re place where, when a lioy of 10 years of age, he stole a piece of bread from one of his father's workmen to satisfy his hunger. The fact that there ever was a time in Frederick Krupp’s life when his hunger was so intense that ho stole the means to satisfy it shows how great the possibilities in a man’s life are. His father must have been very poor, and must have struggled long and earnestly, denying himself mul family even the necessaries of life, to start the fac tory which eventually grow under the direction of Frederick Krupp's mastering genius into such colossal proportions. Sam T. Brewer, a half-breed Cherokee, is under three indictments for assault with in tent to kill nt Fort Smith, I. T. Both his legs are off above the ankles, his right arm is off above the elbow, and his left arm is off four inches below the elbow. Neverthe less, he js an expert shot with the rifle. It would seem that a man so badly maimed would prefer the paths of peace, but Brewer is said to lie one bf the greatest desperadoes in tho Indian Territory. A well-known physician of New York say that tho handsomest men of that city or<( the bartenders. If this lie true, it is easy to uuSerstand why so many New Yorkers loaf around barrooms. They ore “worshiping at the shrine of manly beauty,” os the admirers of Buffalo Bill say when they fall down before bun. THK .MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 10. 1887. Electric Motors. The new street railway conqiany which has applied to the City Council for the use of certain streets lias lieen investigating the different electric railway motors with tho view of adopting one of them if found to be satisfactory. Electricity is being used to propel street cars in other cities, and there does not appear to be any good reason why it should not lie introduced here. It is cer tainly preferable to horse power for many reasons. One is that it is much less ex tensive, and another is that street car pass engers are relieved of the sight of suffering horses and mules, struggling with burdens which, on hot days, are sometimes almost too great for thorn. The development of tlie means for using electricity as a motive power has been very great—so great, indeed, that only a few, comparatively, of those interested in street railroads have kept themselves thoroughly informed on the subject. IV hile perhaps it cannot tie said that tho electric railway in ventions which are at present before tho public are perfect, they are being so im proved that they are giving great satisfac tion. There are eleven electric railways- in suc cessful operation in Europe, anil in this country they are to lie found in the follow ing cities: Montgomery, Ala.; Baltimore, Mil.; Los Angeles, CaL; Port Huron, Mich.; Windsor, Ont.; Detroit, Mieh. (two); Ap pleton, Wis.: Scranton, Pa.; Denver, Col., uud Philadelphia, Pa. Other roads are un der contract at Pittsburg, Pa.; Lima, O.; San Diego, Cal.; Ansonia, Conn.; St. Joseph, Mo.; Mansfield, O.; Ithaca, N. Y.; Harrisburg, Pa.; Woonsocket, R. 1., and Richmond, Va. The favorite motor in use is that in which the electricity is carried along a wire strung above the track and connected by another wire witli the car. Another is that by which the electricity is conducted along a third rail in the centre of the road bed. A third is that in which an underground con duit is used. In addition to these is the storage system, with which experiments have been going on in Philadelphia for a numlier of years, and which recently un derwent a very successful test. The elec tricity is stored in a battery under tho ear seats. The test showed that the storage battery contained enough electricity to run an ordinary car, in some places over heavy grades, for four hours at a sjieed of from twelve to fifteen miles per hour. It is claimed for all the electric motors that cars can Ik; run at about one-half the cost of horse-power. The plants are, of course, ex pensive. In fact, it seems as thougli the owners of electric motor patents have the same idea about street railroads that is en tertained by the uninitiated public, namely, that they are mints of money, and they want the mints. In a few years, however, competition and new inventions will greatly reduce the cost of electric motor plants. The horse will then disappear as the pro lielling power of the street cars. Not long ago a number of candidates for positions as teachers in the public schools were examined. They passed creditably enough until some questions were asked about the history of Georgia. When asked who founded the State only one answered correctly. A young woman, who seemed to be brighter than any of the other candi dates, said that a lawyer told her that the State was discovered and settled by a man named Yazoo, who was afterward burned at the stake for fraud. This exiunination was not conducted in Savannah, but it was conducted within easy reach of Savannah. The history of Georgia ought to be a lead ing subject taught in the public schools of the State. The portraits of noted men which adorn the different denominations of bills are the following: SI, Washington; $2, Jefferson; $5, Jackson; $lO, Webster; $2O, Hamilton; $5O, Franklin; $lOO, Lincoln; $5OO, Gen. Mansfield: $l,OOO, Do Witt Clinton; $5,000, Madison; $lO,OOO, Jackson. On the silver certificates —$10, Robert Morris; $2O, Com. Decatur; $5O, Edward Everett; $lOO, James Monroe; $5OO, Charles Sumner; $l,OOO, W. L. Marey. On gold notes—-$2O, Garfield: $5O, Silas Wright; $lOO, ThomasH. Benton: $5OO, Lincoln; $l,OOO, Hamilton; $5,000, Madison; $lO,OOO, Jackson. It is time that the portrait of a noted woman adorned a hill. Miss Liberty’s profile is found on the silver dollar, but that doesn’t count. It is difficult, to keep Dr. McGlynn out of tho public prints. Regarding the state ment that he intended to suo Archbishop Corrigan for damages on tho ground that excommunication is boycotting, he says: “It. is absolutely falso, and was consciously fabricated out of whole cloth. To say that I had given up my intention of seeking re instatement is not correct. I never had an intention of seeking re instatement. 1 know tho ‘machine' too well to waste 1113- energies in trying to get decent treatment or Justice from it. It is false that Mr. George or John MecMockin ndvise! me to suo.” The doctor ought now to take a rest. Mr. Alfred Sully is coming South the latter part of this month. It is understood that he will not try to “scoop” a rail road ami that he will not consider a “deal,"other than such as may be necessary in an occa sional game of whist. Mr. Sully is credited with a fortune far along in the millions, hut in New York, the other day, he came to grief for lack of a nickel. He wanted to take a street car from Wall street to his res dence, but when he put his hand into his pocket to pay his fare he discovered that he was penniless. He could have drawn u check for the fore, but preferred to walk. Gov. Rusk, of Wisconsin, is said to bo one of tho strongest men in tho world. He can suspend a 1, 000-pound weight from his shoulder and wall; around with it as easily us most men can with twenty pounds. In addition to being a sort of Samson he is somewhat conceited. After suppressing the riots at Milwaukee last year, somebody said to him; “Your prominence may result in making you a candidate for President, one of these days.” Ho replied, ns cool ns a cucumber: “By the eternal, I behove I could Ik’ President if these rioters would only keep it up.” It is said that when ex-Senntor S. W, Dorsey Inis finished answering his day's mail ho will look over the stack of addressed letters that, lie has piled up at his .elbow, and selecting one ufter another from the lot tear up at least half of them. Someone asked him one day what he was doiug, and he replied: “I am simply exercising my judgment about not sending letters that had 1 letter not be sent. I frequently tear up half tho letters that I have written,” Many a public man would have saved himself much trouble if he had done ns the ex-Sen ator does. Ohio is the political storm centre just now. It looks as if old party lines are to be blown away out there. CURRENT COMMENT. Not Ready for It. From the Host on Globe <lnd.) The North is as easily tsfended by any effort to introduce social equally as is the South. People in neither section a.' yet ready for this, if they ever are to be. He Helps His Republican Friends. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) Randall's recommendation of Forger Harvey is by no means the only instance in which this Assistant Republican statesman lias used his in fluence in helping his Republican friends to get office or to stay in office. Tho Warning Comes Too Lato. From the Galveston News (Dent.) The Philadelphia Time* calls tho attention of Senator Sherman's managers to the fact that Gen. Beaver’s managers seat him away last year to keep him from hurting his gubernatorial con test by talking, and that ho was elected. Tho trouble as to Sherman is that the warning comes too late. He should have been sent away before lie made that Springfield speech. Shrewd Business Mon. From the New York Herald (hid.). Stephen AV. Dorsey is making arrangements to get back into the United States Senate. He thinks that Blaine lias a lighting chance to be elected, and away down deep in his patriotic soul Dorsey feels that with Blaine in the White House another star route speculation would pre sent very promising financial possibilities. These Republican leaders are very shrewd busi ness men. BRIGHT BITS. Cheek—Since he hail t hat slander suit Pryor has gone out of business. Brown Why, wnat was bis business!* Green—Other people's.

PERSONAL. Mme. Modjeska and her husband are now at their summer home on tho Pacific coast. Mas. Cleveland has been invited to write a short story, at her own price, for one of tho lead ing magazines. A Don fight took place in Saratoga a few nights ago, ill spite of the fact that Henry Berg wasat the Grand Union Hotel. I)n.

Akchiralii Stirling, President of, the Savings Hank of Baltimore, has just celebrated his Kali birthday. He is still actively engaged in the duties of his position. Ira Shaffer, the New York lawyer who de fended ox-Alderman Cleary in the boodle trial, lias been sus|>ciided three mouths by the officers of the Alauhuttun Club, for "using violent lan guage” in a game of billiards with John Aic- Arthur. George AI. Bartholomew, the Hartford de faulter. lias apartments in a private residence at Montreal. His wife is with him, Canadian air agrees with Bartholomew, and he is in better health and spirits Ilian for years past. Some of his victims are still very much depressed. Alns. Cleveland, or “Douua Francis,” ns she is now popularly called, receives daily a most voluminous mail. Strange as it may sivm. many of her letters relate to public business. Such communicatiouNaiv at once turned over to Col. lament. She is importuned for money, for influence, for offices, and is even asked to ob tain pensions for mutilated heroes. Princess Eugenie, of Sweden, who takes a great interest in Hie Soeiety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the other day invited the cab drivers of Stockholm t>*"afternoon coffee," in the large hall of the Exchange, where a lee tore about the horse and its proper treatment was afterwards delivered. One of the Princess ladles in waiting officiated as hostess. President Cleveland writes few letters and dictates none. His public |>apors he writes witli his own hand. He uses a stub jton and a cork pen-holder, and in reading or writing wears apretHelcs with a black steel frame. He shaves himself every morning, lie usually wears a black Prince Albert coat ami black trousers, ex cept in summer, when he wears a blue flannel or serge suit with sack coa‘. He wears a hat. Mr Rcsiun desires to contradict the "partly idle, lurtly malicious” rumors which have lately got abroad concerning bis health. "Whenever,” hesavs, “I write a word that my friends don't like they say 1 am crazy: aud never consider what a cruel and wicked form of libel they thus provoke ngaiust the work of an old age iu all its convictions antagonistic to the changes of the times and in all its comfort oppressed by them." Mbs. Gladstone has four sons and three daughters. The eldest son. Air. William Henry Gladstone, was born in 1840; he is married to a daughter of Lord Blaatyre. The second is'tbe Vicar of Hawardcn. Stephen EdwaitlGladstone, who was last year married to a Liverpool lady. The third, Mr. Henry Neville Gladstone, is a resident in Calcutta, and the fourth Is Mr Her bert Gladstone, horn in 1W74, Member of Parlia ment tor a division of Lissls, and distinguished ill )xilitieal life. The eldest daughter. Agnes, was married in IKT.t to Mr. Wickham, head mas ter of W ellington College; tlie second is mar ried to Rev. Henry Drew; the youngest, Helen, J* principal of the college for women at Newn ham. near Cambridge. Still, His Intentions Were Honorable. From the Chicago Herald. The session of the National Educational Asso ciation, which begins to-day, will probably be the largest convention of this kind ever held in the world, and it delegates comprise teachers from every State and Territory in the Union. “Pardon me,” said a dapper young man with a red badge pinned to his coat, as he approached her and politely raised his hat, “but if you w ill permit me I will show you to the place where you are to lodge during your visit here.” “(“wan wid ye, now/ 1 shouted the supposed teacher, “what ye tryin’ ter giv’ us, yer bandy legged masher.” “I—l, that is, I thought you were one of the teachers whp had come here to attend the con vention,” stammered the young man, disap pearing around a convenient corner. Mr. Conkling Is Makinar Money. From the Chicago Herald. Boecoe Coakling s present money-earning ca pacity as a lawyer was indicated by a remark which he himself let drop while her... He was an indorser on $BO,OOO of the pap**r of that un i fortunate lawyer, Johnson, of Utica, whom j everybody supposed very rich until, after his death two years ago. he w as found to be terribly embarrassed. Mr. Conkling said that every }>emiy of that $BO,OOO had U*en paid by himself si/ice. In the course of the conversation of which this was a part, Mr. Conkling said that hi investing money either for himself or others, especially if the investment were to be real es tate. he would rather take the judgment of an intelligent Catholic priest than of anybody else, jle had seen in his experience that the heads of the large Catholic parishes almost invariably made Judicious and profitable investment of clerical money. His theory was that their ming ling so much with so many people made them exceptionally good men of affairs and excellent worldly advisers. Did George Gould Skin Uncle Cyrus? From the New York Truth. I am told and the authority is very close to the principals in the transaction, that it was neither Mr. Jay Gould nor Mr. Cyrus W. Field who engineered the little transaction that cost the latter $3,000,000. It was young Mr. George Gould who thought it all out and fixed it all up, while his father was away yachting for the l>enefit of his health. He did not dare. However, to take the. responsibility on his own shoulders of striking the blow’, and he therefore w aited for his father s return. The father came liack, the sledge hammer fell, and Mr. Field was scat tered. A further bit of intimate history in con nection with this affair is that, young Mr. Gould has 1/een determined for a long time, if be ever got it in his ]>ower. to strike a hard blow* at Field, and the cause of it was a decided slight once put upon young Mrs. George Gould, for merly Edith Kingdom by the old financier, who little thought of the reprisals he would one day be compelled to suffer. Buffalo Bill’s Big Hand. From the Boston Record. The day l>efore jubilee day, Monday, at 11 o'clock in the morning, almost the entire royal party arrived at the “Wild West" and asked for a special |>erformancr. The jwirty consisted of the Prince of Wales, Princess of Wales. Prince Albert Victor of Wales, Prince George of Wales, Princesses Victoria, Juise and Maud of Wales, King of Saxony, King of Denmark, the King of Greece, the King of the Belgians, the Crown Prince and Princess of Germany, Prince George of Greece, Duke of Sparta of Greece, Heredi tary ITinee and Princess Saxe Meiningen, Prin cess Victoria of Prussia, Prince Louis of Baden. Princesses Sophy and Margaret of Prussia, and a large luvrty of ladies and gentlemen in atten dance belonging to the different suites of royalty. They were all highly delighted with the performance, asked any number of ques tions, and at the conclusion the Prince of Wales entered the arena, and w alking up to Col. Cody, who was on horseback, shook hands with him and re marked: “I think you are the first man whoever played to four kings.” To which Buffalo Bill, with a twinkle in his eye, responded quickly: “Sir. I have frequently played to four kings, but I never held a hand of four kings and tlie Prince of Wales; that's the ‘boss baud'—a royal flush.” Inman’s Big* Purchase. From the New York Times. The New Yorker who has the largest financial interest in the new* South ami its pushing indus trial enterprises is undoubtedly John H. Inman, who is one of the controlling 'magnates in the cotton market here, as well as in the South. Yesterday Mr. Inman made a further large in vestment that adds materially to his South ern investments. He organized a syndicate, himself taking far the greater interest, and bought in one block 11,000 shares of the stock of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. The stock was the holding of William Duncan, of Nashville, and of Mr. Duncan's friends. It has been in tlie market here for some time, and the Stock Exchange trailer's acting on the idea that it was held on slight mar gins have raided the market frequent ly, hoping to be able to dislodge it and moke spoils wort h scooping up. The price of the stock has thus been brought ((own from above 50 to a point below 30, andlots of Northern and South ern interests baye lieen made weary meantime. Mr. Inman and his syndicate pay in' full for the entire 11,000 shares and take it out of the market. They insist that the company is regularly earn ing H per cent, dividends and recent quotations have been shamefully out of all relation to its stock's intrinsic value. What price Mr. In man pays for the Duncan holding is withheld, but it is promised by Mr. Inman's friends that the bears are going to be deprived of one of their footballs henceforth. On what was probably inside information of Mr. Inman's big purchase the quotation on the Stock Exchange rose about three points yesterday. A Southern Girl. From. Society Verse by American Writers. Her dimpled cheeks are pale She's a lily of the vale, Not a rose. In a muslin or a lawn She is fairer than the dawn To her beaus. Her hoots are slim and neat— She is warm about her feet, It is said. Slip amputates her r's, but her eyes are like the stars Overhead. On a balcony at night With a fleecy cloud of white Round her hau lier (trace, ah! who could paint? She would fascinate a saint, I declare. 'Tis a matter of regret, She's a bit of a coquette Whom I sing. Or. her cruel path she Roes With a half a dozen beau . To her string. But jet all t hat pass by. As her maiden moments fly, Dew empearled; When she marries, on my life. She will make the dearest wife 111 the. world. He Pulled Off His Boot. From the Detroit Free Press. We were traveling from San Antonio to El Paso—an old and wealthy friend and myself. To save ourselves, in a measure, the usual tedi ousness of the journey we ongagwl in a social game of cards, and to heighten the interest had staked some small sums of money. In drawing some small change from his poekut, my friend dropped a roll of greenbacks into the aisle. A neatly dressed young man on an opposite seat picked it up and handed it to its owner with the remark: "Rather a nice little wad to have out if the train robbers should happen around!" lie had been u very social companion during th<- earlier (art of the trip, and we had taken a liking to him. His only drawback seemed to be a want of knowledge concerning life i:t Western Texas. "Yes," returned the old man: "hut I hardly expect any more train robberies In Texas. Why, it's been eight mom Its since we've had one. Well, if they do get this little pile I’m snte any how. I've got twenty times that much more, anil they wouldn't know where I hail it. I'm just a little too cute for ’em They never think of making a man pull tiff his hoots." Tlie young man smiled. During the remain der of tlie afternoon he stoqd on the gallery of the coach, "taking a good look at the country; it was so different from Missouri where he came from" Suddenly about dark the train stopped. Some one exclaimed: ‘‘Don't shoot!” Our young acquaintance stepped from the gallery into the car. “What's the matter? Wbat's the matter?’’ queried my elder companion. “Oh. not much, not much," wqg the slow re ply; “only I guess, old fellow" (here he leveled a revolver at him), "I guess it’s about time for you to pull off your boots." The car tilled with armed men. The usual programme was successfully carried out. When the train was permitted to travel on I flung myself into the seat left vacant by the In nocent young Missourian t?l, put my hands in my empty pockets and meditated until we reached our destination. My old friend lighted a cigar, propped his boots (those treasureless boots) on a seat in front of him. and said he’d he hanged if he'd say a word till he reached El Rose. He thought he had said enough for one dav. ITEMS OF INTEREST. A Long Island race horse got loose at night* went out to a race track, and run two half-mile beats for the fun of the thing, and then returned to the stable to be rubbed down. Glass dollars, a dangerous counterfeit, are bothering tradesmen in a New York precinct. Glass gives a ring to the false metal. The glass dollar is brittle and may easily be broken with a hammer. At Santa Cruz, Cal., lately, two large New foundland dogs annoyed children in bathing by continually dragging them from the water, evi dently under the impression that the youngsters were drowning. Rev. and Miss Marian Murdock, pastor of the Unitarian church of Humbolut, Kan., has re ceived the degree of Bachelor of Divinity from the Meadvilie (Pa.) Theological Seminary. She is ij(* years of age and preaches eloquently. Old Ben Davis lived alone in a West Virginia wilderness, and some ouo passed by a few days ago and told him he had been left a fortune of s?v*,ooo in England. Next day someone went to look foi him and tound him hanging to a tree. A Tennessee farmer, w hose land was under mortgage and about to be taken away from him, fell on his knees in the field in prayer. When he got tip he sc the plow handles with anew grip, gave the old mule a vigorous lick, and l>e fore he had gone twenty feet he turned upa jug with over SOOO in gold and silver in it. Fairmount Park, of Philadelphia, contains 3,000 acres and is eleven miles long. Central Park, of New York, includes 834 acres, costing $15,000,000 for the lain! and improvements. The Chicago parks cover 2,oooacres, and those of St. Louis about the same. Prospect Park, Brook lyn, includes nearly 000 acres, and Druid Hill Park, of Baltimore, (580 acres. Lord Stowell was eminent as a judge, but “near" as a man. In order to save the legacy duty he, during his lifetime, made over to his son William the £20,000 intended for him. But the son, who died first, made a will, leaving the amount to his father, who was thus obliged to pay the duty. His lordship bequeathed it to Lady Sidmouth, and after his death the legacy was contested. There are many instances extant of great lawyers blundering in the making of their own wills, and there is one case where a lawyer pur posely left his will obscure. Scrgt. Maynard, an eminent black-letter lawyer, had perplexed him self over some very fine points of law'. He therefore left a will worded in such terms as would cause litigation to arise on the poiuts he wished the courts to settle. A convict in the Joliet (111.) penitentiary, Rodney Burns, who could not either read or write when sent there in 1880, and surprised the prison authorities by the zeal with which lie wrought overtime ho as to im.v hooks to improve his mind, is reported insane from overwork and overstudy. He is said to have mastered Greek, Latin, French and German, after acquiring the common English branches. In the last live pigeon shooting match in Louisian l the contestants, with an exception nr two, used assumed names, and “one of the crack shots'' stated to a writer who communi cates the information to the Pica yune, that he would never again indulge in the cruel sport, and that he be lieved the last match in which live pigeons would be used had taken place in that section. An English magazine gives a catalogue of valuable articles left in public vehicles by care less travelers, among which were a hag of jew elry worth $760, and a diamond tiara worth SBSO. In one year a packet of bonds worth $3,000 was lost, another valued at .£1,500, and also £250 in gold. Valuable dressing-cases con taining jewelry have been found, and on one occasion a pocketbook containing £75 in bank notes. A gold-heater, of Soochow, China, violated an agreement of the union to which he belonged. His conduct infuriated the craft, and the word passed round: “Biting to death is not a capital offense" One hundred and twenty-three of them rushed on the miserable man, each taking a bite. Death soon relieved the victim of fiend ish rancor. No one was allowed to quit the shop whose bloody lips and gums did not attest to his fidelity. An editor got into hot water with a well known jeweler. In his journal there had been a story describing the chloroforming of a jew-* eler. which was afterward carried out to the letter. “You, sir," wrote the victim, “under pretense of elevating the public mind, teach rogues how to rob us.” To which the editor re sponded: “My dear sir, if you had read my journal you would have been upon your guard, i advise you to subscribe for it. Sir Joseph Jexyll, an excellent lawyer, left his fortune to pay the national debt, and the court set it aside on the ground of imbecility. “Sir Joseph." said Lord Mansfield, “might as well have attempted to stop the middle arch of Black-friars' bridge with his full-bottomed wig.” Lord Mauslield's will was written by himself on half a sheet of paper, and not in the usual form; but it proved valid for the disposal of property to the amount of £2,500,0tX), Iceland at best is not a very Inviting country, but it is especially dismal just now. The crops have failed for several consecutive years, and many of the peopl e are on the verge of starva tion. The volcanoes have flamed into unwonted activity, and a large part of the island is buried beneath ashes. The population of Iceland has been steadily decreasing for ten years, and Is now less than 75,000. Many of the people are emigrating to North Dakota and Manitoba. They make excellent citizens. “Le Cabinet Noir” is the term used for the espionage exercised by the governments of con tinental Europe over all correspondence passing through the post office. The poliee take advan tage of the system, and through it a watch is kept over those it employs in all ranks of soci ety. It is often of interest to a nation to know the instructions of such and such a foreign min ister, or the contents of his dispatches, and although ciphers are usually resorted to, the experts of the Cabinet Noir have become so skillful that these are read with almost the same facility as ordinary bandwriting. Miss Alice Decker, of Milford, N. Y., has r*. tained a local reputation by the manner vk which she rides a tierce young mustang pony. She frequently rides the little horse at a breakneck pace thnnigh the streets, without sad dle or bridle, and nothing but her riding whip to guide or restrain the horse. She may be seen almost any day by the passengers on the trains toward and from Cooperstown, wheeling and racing alongside the railroad tracks, going somewhat faster at times than the train. She is vain of her skill, and t>efore the eyes of jms sengers she vaults fences and ditches without ceremony. An invention, that of an Austrian, for auto matically lowering coffins into graves without the aid of ropes, has been tested by the au thorities of Paris. A coffin was placed on a kind of rectangular platform and surrounded with funeral drapery, which concealed the grave. When a spring was pressed the plat form, with its lugubrious burden, descended slowly into the earth. The price of the appara tus is iiHO, and the inventor states that it is used in Vienna and Milan, the rate payable being Of. for each burial, The Prefecture of the Seine has asked for some modifications in the ma chinery before taking it into use. A system of heating railway cars by the wast e heat from the gas lamps used for light is said to have been devised by a Glasgow man. A writer in CaueU'n Magazine says it is done by means of water, a boiler being placed over the gas lamps, having two pipes descending from it and connecting with two annular tubes under the carriage scuts. The hot water circulates through these pipes and returns again to the boiler after having heated the carriage. It Is found that the ordinary size of gas flame is quite sufficient to heat a compartment, though the consumption of gas is less than one cubic foot per hour. Congelation of the water when the carriage is not in use, is prevented by mix ing a little glycerine with it. The system has been tried successfully during the past winter on the trains of the Glasgow and Southwestern railway in Scotland, the same authority says, and the temperature of the carriage kept ur from 52° to 00” Fahrenheit, even In very cold weather. Joseph C. O. Kennedy, who was so shock ingly assassinated in Washington on Wednes day, was born at Meadville, Md., April 1, 1813. After graduating at Allegheny College he stud ied law, but early turned his attention to jour nalism. Wh lie still a young man he had become the owner of two newspapers.
