Sew York republicans are alarmed over
the rumor that Smith M. Weed, who was
one of Mr. Tiilen'i lieutenants, will re-eo
t*r active politic,. Mr. Weed is a very
khrewi mart, and the republicans are afraid
of him.
The latest rumor concerning the supreme
court vacancy is that the President will fill
it by appointing Judge Russell of Michigan.
Perfeare the President ha* found oat that it
wouldn't do for him to appoint Judge
Wood* of Indiana.
It is not definitely known how many ducks
President Harrison killed the other day.
One report says that he killed three, and
another that he killed seven. It seems to
be agreed, however, that he knocked out
enough feathers to make a pillow for Baby
McKee.
Thomas B. Reed says that if he is elected
speaker he will do the best he can to ad
vance the interests of the Republican party.
What about the interests of the country,
Mr. Reed! You take a very narrow view
of the duties of a speaker, and if the repub
lican House was patriotic, it wouldn’t think
for a moment of electing you.
Another American girl has married a
titled foreigner. The other day Miss Eliza
beth Thompson, a daughter of an ex-mayor
of Detroit, was married to Count von
JOeist, of Germany. In this instance, the
peculiar feature of the marriage was that
th count is wealthy. If the young lady
bad only been poor, the couple would have
given the public something to talk about
for many days. The fact is, however, that
bar father is a Standard Oil mao, and
everybody understands tnat that signifies
great wealth.
Mr. Arkeli, of Judge, will probably fail
tb buy the privilege of advertising on the
back* of postage stamps. Hts bid wasn’t
high enough, even if such a privilege could
be sold under the law. It is said that an
other New York editor has offered $lOO,OlO
a year for a four years’ contract, aid that
an English firm has offered $1,010,000 for a
length of tims not announced. Mr. Arkeli
i* wondering whether or not he had bettor
increase hi* offer. Perhaps he will conclude
to get hi* partner, the President’s son, to in
tercede in bis behalf.
It is said that ex-Seaator Thomas C.
Platt want* to be President. Now, there
are very few men who would not like to bi
President, bat what is more to the point
with regard to Mr. Platt is that he is set
ting up his pins to capture the republican
presidential nomination. Mr. Pla t seems
to be a much bigger man, so far as controll
ing patronage is concerned, than he was
when he said “Me, too," and tried to imi
tate the late Roscoe Conkling’s strut as he
followed that gentleman out of the United
States Senate, but he will have to grow
marvelously in other respects before he be
comes big enough for the presidency.
The New York Iyess has the following:
“Chau cey M. Depew, who has been down
south oa a business tour, talked to the
Union League members at the monthly
meeting Thursday night about the Degro
question. He said he found the s.uthern
white men sensible, sober, conservative,
earnest and willing to listen to argument
and reason on every other subject but that
of the black man.” Mr. Depew need not
ba surprised that the southern people re
fused to accept his view with regard to the
race question in this section. It is possible
that they even laughed at him. They had
a perfect light to do so. Mr. Depew has
lived in the north all of his life. He hat no
practical knowledge of the race question,
and in that respect he is just like thousands
of other northern people who think that the
•outh ought to receive theif theories a in
upired truth. Neither should Mr. Depew
fuel hurt because the south laughed slyly at
him. His ignorance upon thii subject is
the most natural thipf in the world.
Brazil's Bevolntloa.
The revolution which has taken place in
Brazil, by waich that country has been
changed from an empire to a republic, has
thus far been a bloodless one. Tha indi
cations are that there will be no violeacs of
a serious character, as the cx-emperor, Dorn
Pedro, has left the country, and is cow on
bis way to Europe, and only one of the
provinces, so far as known, ha* refuse! to
acc pt the new order of thingt The es
tablishment rf the republic was not woolly
a surprise. For several years it has bee i
apparent that an effort would be made
to change the form of government
within a very few years, though tae
impression appeared to prevail quite gen
erally that no change would take place
before the death of the emperor, Dorn
Pedro, who was very popular with the
people, and who is now 65 years of age. Tae
emperor did not attempt to check the move
ment ia favor of a republic, although he
was thoroughly acquainted with ail the
phase* of it. He is reported to have said
very recently that he wa? willing that his
rule should c:-ase as soon as the people
showed an unmistakable desire that it
should. His soa-ic-law, in a speech last
summer, said that the emperor was ready
to obey the will of the people. Dom Pedro
is probably the oue ruler in all the history
of the world who has given up imperial
power without making a struggle to retain
it. He is a very democratic sort of person,
however, although the best blood of the
royal families of Europe flows in his veins.
He is a man of great learning and unques
tioned ability, and in his long
reign of nearly half a century he
did a great deal to advance
Brazil’s prosperity. He built railroads and
telegraph lines, and provided other mean s
by which the commerce of the empire could
be bandßd more quickly and cheaply. In
deed, it is doubtful if, when the full reports
of the revolution a-e received, it will be
found that there was any hostile feeling
against him.
It is believed, however, that there is a
good deal of hostility to the crown princess
and her husband. She acted as regent a
year or so ago when the emperor was in
Europe, and, it is understood, made a great
many enemies She appears to be a u ag
gressive, overbearing sort of woman, and
was constantly mediling in matters with
which she had no legitimate concern.
There was another cause of dissatis
laetion, and that was the emancipa
tion of the slaves. However, Dom Pedro
was not responsible for that. Toe parlia
ment emancipated the slaves and Dom
Pedro, although he favored the act,
simply enforced the law. The emancipa
tion act, however, was not unpopular
except with the people who owned slaves,
and not with ail of them. Indeed, it is
said that some of the most earnest advocates
of emancipation were slaveholders. The
number of slaves was not far from 3,0d0,000,
and as parliament refused to grant the
slaveholders compensation for their
slave property a great many of that
class were reduced from positions of
great wealth to comparative poverty.
It was only natural, therefore, that there
should be a great deal of discontent among
them, and that they should take s;aei with
those whose object was to overturn the
eristing condition of affair*. Tbe agita
tion in favor of the abolition of slavery
b'gan nearly thirty years ago. The im
mediate cauw of it ivas the introduction of
yeljow fever into the country by a ship
load of slaves. That diseaso had never boon
known in Brazil before that time.
Brazil is an immense country, containing
over 50,000 square miles more than the
United States, exclusing Alaska. It is
thinly populated, however, the population
being e-timated to be between 10, 000,0)0
and 14,000,000. It has a splendid and grow
ing commerce, its exports to this country
alone amounting to $100,000,000 or more
annually. These exports are princi
pally sugar, coffee, hides and rubber. The
revolution having been a peaceful one, it
is not probable that Brazil’s trade with this
country will suffer seriously, if at all.
All the countries of Central and South
America are now republics. Brazil was the
lost to throw off the yoke of a hereditary
ruler. It is sincerely to be hoped that the
new government will be a little more stable
than those of some of the other South Amer
ican states have been.
Electric Street Railways.
A few days ago the Eletrical TVoidci
printed a table which shows how remark
able has been the development of the electric
street railway in this country. The facts
and figures presented were obtained from
the companies themselves, and among other
things are given the names of the compan
ies, their location, mileage, number of
cars, systems of operation, and, in some in
stances, cost of operation. The electric
street railway may be said to bo
but a thing of yesterday. Previous to
1884 there had been a few
experiments with electric locomotives, but
the results were unsatisfactory. la tho fall
of ISB4 the fir t practical attempt to op
erate a street railway on tne conduit system
was made in Cleveland, 0., by the East
Cleveland Railway Company, but after
a trial of several months the difficulties en
countered caused the company to abandon
it. In 1883 the overhead system was ex
perimentally introduced on small lines in
Michigan and Wisconsin, and the following
year a few more experiments were made,
but it was not until 1888 that the remark
able development of this kind of
railway began. That year a line
in Richmond, Va., was operated by the
Sprague system, and it was the forerunner
of many others in different parts of the
country. There are now in the United
States 176 electric street railways, 112 of
which are iu operation, and sixty-four of
which are in course of construction and
equipment. The total length of track is
about 1,250 miles, and the total number of
cars in use is about 1,875.
The overhead system is by far the most
popular and practicable, all but three of
the 112 roads having adopted it. Not one
is operated entirely by conduit, and only
one has adopted that system even in part.
This is an Allegheny, Pa., line, one mile of
which is operated by conduit and three
miles by overhead wires. Only one line of
consequence, the Fourth avenue of New
York, uses the storage battery system to a
considerable extent; on one line three
storage battery cars are used and on an
other one is used.
Peter Jackson, the colored pugilist, seems
to be making himself uuhappy unneces
sarily. He announces that he has not
rece.ved a challenge to fight John L. Sulli
van, and that if he had he would have
ignored it It was several months ago that
John L. assured the public that he would
have nothing to do with Jackson.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19; 1889.
Taking a Sens. bio View of It.
It seemi that a Tery large number of the 1
owners of the ground rent lots are tak.ng a i
very sensible view of the issue tnat has been
raised with respect to these lota They say
that if there is no authority for the exemp
tion from taxation wnich they have so long
enjoyed, they are willing to be taxed. They
want only what is right. They wish to be
satisfied first, however, that tney are not
legally entitled to the exemption. Doubt
less all of the holders of the lots will take
this vie* of the matter when they come to
think of it calmly and carefully. Of coarse
they know that it isn’t exactly jus: that
they should enjoy all the benefits which are
derived from taxes and yet not pay a lair
share of the taxes.
The point that is made in behalf of lot
owners wno are poor, is not a good one.
They need not pav the balance due on their
lots and take deeds if they don’t want to.
They can continue to pay the city the inter
est on the unpaid balances. But it would
be a much wiser plan for them to get
titles. They would have no difficulty in get
ting all the money they wanted at the rates
of interest they are paying the c.ty. They
would only be at the expense of having
mortgages executed, which would be
a very small expense, and the
lenders of the money would proba
bly pay that for the privilege ot taking
the mortgages. The mortgages would be
such good security that there would be no
trouble in getting money for them at a
very low rate of interest—perhaps lower
than the city now receives on the unpaid
balances. A mortgage would be more de
sirable than the claim which the city now
has on the lots, because it could not be col
lected in such a summary way as the city’s
claim can if there were a default in the
pavment of the interest
The extra burden which the lo’holdars
would have to bear would not be so very
great. It is probable that the Improve
ments on these lots are now assessed for a
little more than they would ba if the lots
were also assessed. All things considered,
therefore, the holders of the lot! would
have no reason to be greatly excited if the
council should order the lots assessed, and,
it must be admitted, it is not easy to see
bow it can avoid making such an order,
Crdway and His Barrel
It is expected that the legislature of
North Dakota will elect United States Sen
ators this week. Of course republicans will
be elected. There are only thirteen demo
crate in the legislature, the whole number
of members being ninety-two.
One of the candidates is ex-Oov. Nehe
miah G. Ordway. He is said to have a
barrel of money, and it is certain that be
knows how to use money in a political con
test so that it will do him the most good.
He is quite well known in Washington and
a good many other places, and he has the
reputation of getting what he wants.
He isn’t tin old resident of North Dakota.
In fact, he only made his appearance there
last July, and it wasn’t known that he in
tended to be a candidate for the Senate
until he had flooded the territory with cir
culars calling attention to his candidacy
and pointing out the qualifications he pos
sessed for the place. The newspapers of
North Dakota appear to be very favorable
to him. This is accounted for, perhaps, by
the fact that he has bought space in them,
and is using it to bo 3m himself. It is also
said that he contributed very liberally to
the campaign expenses of a great many of
the members of the legislature.
He is recognized in North Dakota as a
candidate who is not averse to using
practical methods to accomplish his pur
poses, and liis opponents do not hesitate to
insinuate that he is depending upon ,*‘boodle’’
for success. During the latter part of the
summer he undertook to establish a cold
storage plant at Grand Forks, but the enter
prise was not a success. His enemies say
that it was never intended that it should
be. The purpose of it was, they say, to
make political capital, and they now allude
to him as “Cold Storage” Ordway. Mem
bers of the legislature are asked how much
“cold storage” they got. Mr. Ordway does
not seem to be disturbed in the least by
these insinuations. He i! a republican of
the sort that is not disturbed by such trifles.
It is said that the President is hostile to
him, and is using the influence of the ad
ministration to defeat him. It is probable
that his hostility is not due to Mr. Ordway’s
methods, because it required a good deal of
what is called iu North Dakota “cold stor
age,” to elect him. He objects to Ordway
because he has a couple of friends that he
wants to see in tho Senate from North
Dakota. It will soon be known, probably,
whether “cold storage” will win the day
against tho influence of the administra
tion. '
A Paris newspaper has created the big
gest kind of a sensation iu that city by
printing a flve-colutifa attack upon Miss
Gwendoline Caldwell, the American heiress,
whose engagement to Prince Murat was
recently brqken off. The attack is in the
form of a communication, and is thought
to have been written by a friend or relative
of Prince Murat, with a view to prevent
ing the possibility of a renewal of the
engagement. Asa general thing, tac ics
of this kind fail to effect the object desired,
and in this case the article may arouse Miss
Caldwell to that point of indignation where
she will double or even triple her bid for
the prince.
Some of the northern newspapers hate
ex-Px’esident Jefferson Davis so much that
they could not forbear saying mean thing!
against him tho other day when it was
rumored that he was about to die. The
Chicago Tribune, for instance, headed as
follows its dispatch giving tho rumor: “Is
Jeff Davis at the Last Ditch? Reported
Gritical Illness of the Arch Rebel.” If tho
Tribune were wise, it would know that
this sort of thing reflected discreditably
upon itself only.
Mark Twain may have to look to his lau
rels. Ho has made the American public
laugh about as much as any other humorous
writer, but a rival is about to step to the
front, in the person of his wife. A book,
entitled “A Prince in Petticoats, or a King’s
Folly,” written by Mrs. Clemens, is about
to be issued. It recounts the exploits of a
young man in female attire at the courts of
Russia, Austria and other European coun
tries. Mr?. Clemens writes under the nom
de plume of “Olive Langford.”
Editor Charles 11. Jones, of the St. Louis
Republic, stated in New York the other
day that the west didn’t admire Gov. Hill
very greatly, but that it was strongly in
favor of Mr. Cleveland’s renominatlon.
Whether the democrats nominate Mr.
Cleveland, Gov. Hill, or someone else, it
is to be hoped that the west will do more
for the dem-xtratic ticket than it did last
year.

Walker Blaine, solicitor for the state de-

e owes a vast deal of annoyance outside of tbo
evil effects of the disease itself. Politicians
who desire his friendship give him recipes for
the cure of malaria. Some tell him to use qui
nine, others advise boiled lemon, others suggest
whisky, and one man even asserte 1 that elec
tricity was the only sure cure. Mr. Blaine,
who is extremely suave at all times, finds it
difficult to treat these advisers with the dignity
befitting his position.

Woman.
When with a smile your argument she hear*
She has resolved your wishes to obey.
Hut when she meets your reasoning with tears,
Be sure the woman means to have her way.
O woman, thou wert fashioned to beguile,
Tne poet sings. A libel surely this.
Tney who have known the sunshine of her smile
Swear she was made to comfort and to bless.
A pretty girt delights the gazer’s eyes.
But beauty never can with love compare;
Her home a handsome woman beautifies,
A loving one diffuses sunshine there.
Although ’gainst lovely woman cynics prate.
Men know it is her nature to be true.
And certainly her virtue should be great.
Since frequently it must suffice for two.
Shades of Cicero!
From the Minneapolis Tribune.
The friends of a pretty young girl in one of
the suburban towns are telling, under taeir
breath, the following story:
The voung woman, who is noted for her
pretty face and winning ways, rather than for
her gift of mind, has just returned from a
personally conducted tour of several months in
Europe.
“And you visited Rome, of course,” said a
friend on her first morning call.
“Let me see,” mused tne voung girl deeplv,
“did we visit Rome? Mamma, did we visit
Rome?"
“)Vhy, child, I don’t just remember, but it
seems to me that we did; let we see ”
“Oh, yes, mamma,” broke in tbe daughter, "I
know now, of course we did. Don’t you remem
ber Rome? Why, that was where we got those
lovely cheap stockings!”
Saw the Wrong Man.
A mild faced old man and a gentle-looking old
lady boarded a Georgetown car one night last
week, writes a Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune. They seemed to be in
some distress, and as nervous about their desti
nation as the old lady who wanted to go to She
boygan. The conductor was indifferent and
ans wered their questions ourtly. Finally a gen
tleman sitting opposite leaned over and asked
them where th?) wy>":e i to go.
“To Mr. Porter 3, the superintendent of the
census,” replied the old lady, and seemed won
derfully relieved when her questioner assured
her that he was getting off at the same corner,
and would walk with them to Mr. Porter's house.
They rode for some distance, and at last the
gentlema i helped them off and took them to
the door of a fine old Georgetown mansion,
leaving them when the servant came to the
door and announced that Mr. Porter was at sup
per. but would see them directlv. Safely
S( ated, the old couple were congratulating
themselves and going over the object of their
visit, when a gentleman entered. Shaking
hands with both, he discussed the weather at
some length and finally said:
‘Van I do anything for you ?”
“Did you get Mr. Elkins’ letter ? ” said tbe
old man.
“What Mr. Elkins:”
“Mr. Stephen B. Elkins.”
"No. but if you can tell me what was in It,
perhaps it win b ■ as well.”
"He wrote, asking whether you couldn’t help
my husband to get a place,” said the old ladv,
charmed at the kind reception. Tbeir enter
tainer leaned back in his chair and laughed as
though he was passing through the funniest ex
perience of his life. At last, between the
guffaws, be said:
“I am tha last man in the United States to
come to for help of that kind. There is not a
creature in the country has less influence. Do
you know I am a disgraced man,” and he
laughed again as though enjoying tbe novel
position. Tne old people looked at him in sur
prise, and then the light dawned on them.
“Aren't you Mr. Porter?” they asked.
"I am Corporal Tanner," replied the man,
and the name was a signal for a general laugh.
“Mr. Porter lives a few blocks below here,
and someone used to bringing office-seekers to
my door has made a mistake. I will send my
man down with you.”
The Little Girl I Found in Rose Street.
From the Xew York Sun.
One day, as I crossed Rose street, a little girl
about 10 years old was engaged in a rough-and
tumble fig; t with a boy two or three years
older. W hile she was doing nobly, it wasn't a
fair fight, and I interfered to protect her.
“What is it to you?” she hotly demanded, as
she turned on me with flashing eyes.
"But you are a girl,” I replied.
“But I kin lick him if he'll fight fair”’
I drove him off and sat down on a doorstep
with her.
“Girls shouldn’t fight,” I said, as the ragged
and uDkempt chili at my side grew cooler.
“Not if they are picked on?”
“No.”
“Then they’d call me a coward.”
“But suppose they did? You come of a cow
ardly sex. W’omen are not brawlers and fight
ers. They are tender and gentle, and given to
soft words and peaceful ways. Where do you
live?”
“Down a piece and up stairs.”
“Father and mother living?”
“No; but dad and mam is. Dad is over to the
island; mam washes and scrubs.”
“And what do you do?”
“Mind the rooms mostly.'*
“Ever go to school f’ .
“Naw"’“s*-.-,
“Can't you read?’’
“Naw!”
“Ever been out in the country?”
“Naw! Where is it, and what is it like?”
And so I described something of farm life to
her, telling her of the fields of grain, the green
medows, the barns and orohards and farm
yards. Her eyes opened wider and wider as I
went on. but toward the end she grew suspi
cious, and said:
“day, what sort of a cove do you take me
fur?”
“But this is all true—upon my word it is ”
“Don’t believe it: If it was, mam would have
let on. Say! What d've want, anyhow?”
“I want to talk with you a little longer. Ever
go down to the battery ?”
“Or to Central park?”
“Naw:”
“Ever see a cow or an ox?”
“I’ve heard of ’em, I guess.”
“You have heard of Little Red Riding Hood,
haven't you?”
“Can’t remember.”
“Never beard of Old Mother Hubbard, who
wont to the cupboard to get her poor dog a
bone?”
"Naw!”
“How about the house that Jack built?"
“What Jack? Was it a house in Rose
street?”
“You have heard of the Bible?” I continued,
seeing that she was now interested.
“Yep.”
“What is it?”
“I dunno!"
“Where is heaven?”
“Somewhere I guess.”
“Didn’t any one ever tell you that you
must be good in order to go to heaven when you
died?”
“Naw! Mam says I must be good or she’ll
break every bono in my infernal body!’ ’
“Did you ever pray?’’
“Noap.”
“Did you ever hear the Lord's Prayer?”
“Noap. D.dyou?"
I repeated it for her, and when I was through
she said:
“Say: I'll learn that some day if you’ll try
me!”
Was it queer that I met her again and again
at tne same spot, and that she was alwavs on
the lookout for me, and that after the first
meeting she beran to grow interested? She
also grew ashamed of her garments, and I
noticed that she had tried to patch and mend.
At the third or fourth meeting she had a clean
face and her hair had been combed. I think
the neighbors looked upon It as a great mys
tery, but if they quizzed the child she did not
let me know it. We used to talk of the country,
other cities and people, the mountains and
plains, the 10,0 0 things sne had never heard of
but was hungry to be informed of. I watched
her closely, and I could see that knowledge
brightened her eyes and made her face more
gentle. Little by little she dropped off her
slang, and little by little her manner changed to
tbe coyness of her sex.
I reached the spot one afternoon to discover
that she ha l failed me for the first ti ne. In
her place was a broad-shouldered, red-faced
woman, who walked up to me and demanded:
“Are you the raoscullion who has done all
this?”
"All of what, ma’am?”
“Been preaching to my Nanny until she got
so soft and good for nothing that a fall down
stairs has put her in her coffin!”
“Nanny dead!”
“And buried, sir, and she went on about the
Lord's prayer and heaven and green fields until
she almost made me crazy. O, you villain, to
come about destroying a poor mother's happi
ness in that way. Begone, or I'll have tne
police after ye.”

The trustees of the British museum have
lately acquired a collection of Coresm books
w -ich possesses considerable interest and
Imp rtance. Tne books, which are contained
j in over * hundred volume*, consist mainly of
I Corean editions of the C. mese classics, of na
tive historical works, and of novels.
Huati Ebers, a German experimenter, has
found ‘.hat the human eye is more sensitive to
green rays of light than to red rays, and to red
more than to blue rays Since the red rays are
thos- of longest wave-length, and the blue
those of the shortest wave-length, it follows
that the eye is most susceptible to the lays of
medium length.
The water lily is largely used in some parts
of India as a food stuff. The fruit of one fpeeies
that grows plentifully in the lakes of Cashmere
is rich in starch and has much the flavor of a
caestnut. If the nuts are dried they will keep
for a long time, and when ground mav be made
into cakes or i orridge. or they may bo soaked
for some hours and then boiled.
One curious result of the French exhibition
is that the hansom cabs London sent over there
have had a singular success, a greater success
than was expected. A great number have been
bought up by private individuals. “Le han
som” has become chic, pschutt, v'lan and what
ever are the peculiar adjectives that garnish a
Paris dandy's limited vocabulary.
A youth op ?6, son of a high official in Hun
gary. shot himself the other day with a revolver.
He left a letter, explaining that the act was due
to a smcalled American duel. Cases of this
kind, where, instead of fighting a real duel, the
quarrel is settled by lot—the one who draws the
black bail being bound to commit suicid: within
a given time—have been very frequent in Hun
gary of lat. years.
A mass meeting is shortly to be held in New
York, which will probably be the most peculiar
and unique affair of the kind ever convened. It
will be a meeting of the organ-grinders of that
city, and its purpose will be to protest against
the recent ordinance which forbids the plaj ing
of street hands and organs. There are 300
organ-grind-rs in New York, making, with th l ir
families, about J,uoo of the floating population
of the city.
The Belgian cour de cassation has just de
livered a pronouncement which will rejoice the
hearts of the sporting fraternity all the world 1
over. “Betting on horse races,” says the
Belgian tribunal, “cannot be included in the
category of games of chance. Although the
result of a race may be influenced by chance,
nevertheless the qualities of the horse and his
rider are, provided there tie no fraud, the
essential elements of success.”
The latest development of the advertising
art comes from Paris, where an enterprising
publisher has employed a large force ef sand
wich men to advertise a book by walking down
the boulevards and reading it with rapt atten
tion. An inquisitive gentleman, anxious to
know how far this would have an educational
effect upon the readers, crept up behind one
who seemed more rapt than all the others, and
found that be was reading the book upside
down.
Capt. Charles Johansen of Tacoma, trash
ington, is building a small boat in which he
proposes to sail around the Horn to London and
then return to the states and exhibit the boat
at the world's fair. The boat will be twenty
feet long, built of native fir, cedar and oak, and
will be a model of strength for so small a ship.
She will be provisioned for 250 days and will
start on Dec. 1, stopping at San Francisco.
After rounding Cape Horn she will take the
usual course of sailing vessels for London,
where Johansen expects to arrive in April or
May.
The export op matches from Sweden during
the first 6even months of the present year
amounted to 7.275.003 kilograms, showing an
increase of some 6 per cent, compared with the
corresponding figures for last year. Swedish
match manufacturers are paying a good deal of
attention to the Indian market, and the En
koping match manufactory has recently
exp rted 250 cases to Jladras, each case con
taining 7.200 boxes. Chinese matches are
understood to be at present offering at Ham
burg at 27 shillings, 6 pence per chest cheaper
than what is being asked for Swedish (genuine)
matches.
Two little girls, both under 12, and them
selves the daughters of poverty, have opened
and conducted a fair on Spring street, New
Y'ork, for two weeks. The proceeds of this fair
will go to the widow and five children of the
lineman Eardman who was killed by the fatal
wires. Nearly S2OO has already been turned
over by the little maids, and the generous work,
fed from day to day by kindly tradesmen and
merchants, w ill continue ail of this week. A
member of the stock exchange, in addition to
his contribution, promised honorary member
ship among th ■ King’s Daughters to little Flora
Eason and Eva Bressant.
Now that it is known, says the New York
Star, that Sirs. Cleveland attends auction sales
of rare furniture, they have become more fash
ionable than ever among the ladies. A few
days ago, just before Lotta went to Boston, sue
sat demurely in a corner of a well-known Fifth
avenue auction room aud bid in several choice
pieces of bric-a-brac. It is strange what a dif
ference one's surroundings have to do with
ones individuality. Had anyone present seen
Lotta on the stage he would have recognized
her instantly; but in such a commonplace posi
tion as attending an auction, no one seemed to
connect the demure little figure with the favor
ite actress of all.
The French army has, hierarchically speak
ing, no generals of the first-class, and a number
of these indispensable officers will soon be
created by M. Freycinet, the French war min
ister. No marshals of France have been made
since the fall of the empire: nor is the rank of
full general known to the French army as now
constituted. The highest rank Is that of divis
ional general: and it is by generals of division
that each army corps is now commanded. An
army corps, however, contains two divisions,
and generals of anew grade are to be appointed]
who alone will be eligible as chiefs of army
corps. General in chief is the title which it is
proposed to give them.
“When you hear people talk about getting
Gobelin tapestry,” says C. R. Clifford of the
Upholsterer of Philadelphia, “they usually
don’t know what they are talking about. The
Gobelin works are in France, and are subsidized
by the government. They turn out goods de
signed for state gifts, and the same goods are
not made in Pniladelphia, although as the
manufacturer of tapestr es she is the metropolis
of the world. It is not that we cannot make
tapestries as valuable as the Gobelin, but wno
would buy them? No one could make them
without immense sunsidy. Cbevraul. the great
centenarian chemist, used to be the chemist of
the Gob.lin works. They spend a year turning
out as much of the article as could be made in a
day or two at our rate of working. People fre
quently talk about Gobelin tapestry, but they
apply the word to some fancy work done by the
women. There Is no manufacturer of it here.”
The tenth annual report of Arthur Gil
man, secretary of the Society for the Collegiate
Instruction of Women by the Professors and
Instructors of Harvard college, shows that since
the organization of the society in 1579, in which
year twenty-five students entered, there has
been a continual growth, until at the beginning
of the tenth collegiate year there are 115 stud
ents, distributed into fifty-five classes, and
directed by fourteen professors, eleven assistant
professors and sixteen tutors—ferty-one teach
ers in all. There are three classes of students.
In the first class are those taking the course of
four years, which in the college leads to the de
gree of B. a. A second is composed of women,
who have been teachers or who intend to teach,
who desire special instruction as supplemen
tary to experience or to work done elsewhere,
and a third comprises women who seek
special studies with no intention of becoming
teachers, but simply as helps to general culti
vation.
A number of YouNG eadies attending a school
not a great distance from Milwaukee decided to
visit the belfry during recess. They trooped
upstairs, carefully made their way along a
plank which was laid across the unfloored attic,
and reached the belfry. They spent more time
there than they had intendei, and were startled
by the ringing of the bell. Tuey be it a hasty
retreat. One of the girls, a large and some
what clumsy creature, made a misstep before
she left the attic, and her foot went crashing
through the ceiling. By this time most of the
pupils in the room below were seated at their
Ue .ks. Tuey were in convulsions of laughter
when the teacher—a gentleman—entered th
room. He could not divine the cause of their
wild merriment, neither could he restrain them.
He speedily began to fee! decidedly uncomfort
able. Finally he noticed that their eyes were
turned toward the ceiling, aud he, too, looked
up. Dangling from the ceiling hu saw what at
first glance appeared to be a huge stick of
striped candy or an animated barber's pole.
Then the situation dawned upon him. He could
not resist the temptation to join in the laughter,
and it was some little time before the blushing
and unfortunate girl was extricated.
