Tbe whisky trust took a mean advantage
of St. Louis day before yesterday when it
advanced the price of whisky. The tnsreury
•t the time was coquetting with tbe zero
mark.
McKinley cays be believes protection ii
just' ‘as dear to the American people a* it
aver wat before." It is, iudeod. It is coo
dear by about 50 per oent. Tlie coming
congress will make an efl'ort, and a success
ful one, to cheapen it.
Tbe Philadelphia Times thinks Mr.
Cleveland’s moving to Lakewood will
greatly faciliate the work of the cabinet
makers. “They can watch the arrivals of
the railway elation and tarn out a brand
new cabinet every day.’’
H is denied that Mrs. Francis, wife of
Oov. Francis, of Missouri, wrote a letter to
Mn. Cleveland on the of the ap
polntment of Gov. Prancie to a cabinet posi
tion. Tbe story is said to be a canard, sent
out by a St. Louis editor’s friends.
Among those who visited Mr. Cleveland
Friday, just before his departure for l,ake
wood, was Mr. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta.
Tbe New York Sun says “Mr. Smith
thinks lie has a chance tor the cabinet.’.’
The occasion of his visit was a kind of fare
well meeting, as it were.
CasabiaDca McKinley is still standing on
the burning deck of prohibitive protection
and making bis little set speech. But he’ll
newer be quoted in a second reader as a
martyr to duty. When he finally sinks
out of sight with tbe old bulk, the news
papers will call him a chump for not taking
water at an opportune moment.
Tbe Philadelphia Pres*' Washington cor
respondent says that Senator Morgan and
Mr. Cleveland “are hardly on speaking
terms, and Mr. Cleveland harbors a feeling
toward Mr. Morgan far from friendly.” If
there is truth in the statement It is very
peculiar that Senator Morgan’s name
should have been co frequently mentioned
to connection with the cabinet. Two or
three days ago it was said that be mig ht
be tbe next Hecretary of State.
An enterprising newspaper in Chicago
lias secured tbe services of Mrs. Lease in the
capacity of legislative reporter at Topeka.
Her reports, however, contain very little
news tint “barrels" of editorial matter, all
going to show that Kansas is fast drifting
to tbe demnitiou bow-wows, jbe lady is
said to have entirely forgotten her senator I*l
aspirations In her journalist.c enthusiasm,
like Tom Watson, she is charmed by Jilai a
tors ■especially on tbe day when the check
acmes.
The House the Ally of the Executive.
It is thought by some observers of current
event, that tns article entitled the "Speak
ership” in tbe last number of Harper's
Weekly expresses the sentiments of Mr.
Cleveland end those cb>se to him on the
speakership question. The purport of the
article is that unless Mr. Crisp is willing to
organise tbe next House so that it will beau
efficient and sympathetic ally of the eiecu
tire. Mr. Cleveland’s friends will probably
insist upon making someone speaker who
will organize the House so that it will give
him just the kind of support he will need
and should have.
v Those who think the article in Harp>r's
Weekly was written by soma one who
knows Mr. Cleveland’s views relative to the
speakership of the next House must be mis
taken. if it is their belief that Speaker
Crisp would not give Mr. Cleveland a sin
cere and hearty support if he should be re
elected. U may be that there is ground for
complaining of Mr. Crisp’s organization of
the present House. The composition of the
ways and means committee is not alto
gether satisfactory, and some of tbe other
important committees are not in thorough
sympathy with tbe purposes of the Demo
cratic! party as expressed at tbe November
election, but the situation i* very different
now from what it was when the present
House was organized.
A week or two ago Mr. Crisp visited New
York, and, it is understood, had a long and
satisfactory interview with Mr. Cleveland
while there. Tbe impression that the coun
try was given after that interview was that
Mr. Crisp and Mr. Cleveland were in ac
cord on all important matters, and that Mr.
Crisp would be a candidate for re-election
and would not be opposed by Mr. Cleveland.
Nothing has happened since the Interview
to cast a doubt upon the correctness of that
impression. While it is probably true that
Mr. Crisp has not received assurances of
support from any considerable number
of the members of tn* next
House, his manner indicates that
be is satisfied that he will be re-elected.
That Leiug tbe case, it is pretty safe to as
sume that there are no differences between
himself and Mr. Cleveland relative to any
of the great questions that are to come be
fore the next congress. He knows that
Mr. Cleveland is profoundly interested in
haviug tbe tariff, silver and cur
rency questions settled upon the lines
marked out by the Demo
cratic party In its national platform,
and it is safe to assume that he has given
Mr. Cleveland to understand that if re.
eleoted be would make up the committees
so that the House and tbe administration
would be in thorough sympathy and har
mony.
When the present House was organized
there was no probability that there would
l any tariff legislation, nor any legislation
relative to sll rer or tbe currency or pen
sions. Tbe republicans controlled the Bea
sts and tbe administration. No reforms
proposed by the democratic House had a
chance of being adopted. Avery different
condition of affairs will prevail during the
next congress. The democrats will have the
House and the administration, and the
probabilities are that they will have the
Senate also. The way will be open, there
fore, for the adoption of democratic reform
measures.
Mr. Crisp can ba depended upon to do all
in his power to give Mr. Cleveland’s ad
ministration tbe co-operation of congress.
It is probable that Mr. Cleveland is satis
fied On that point. In that case there is no
reason for suggesting that an effort will be
mode to place anew- man in the speaker’s
ohair when the next congress assembles, it
is quite certain that Mr. Crisp will tie the
speaker of the next House.
No Red Lights at Church Doors/
Recently a New York minister Monished
people with a proposition that. or( j er to
rob the barroom of its influence
upon huuiauity, the Chung should establish
saloons under its manag, ment in wh ich cer
tain drinks should be qigpensed. The geu
orel appearance of ne re g u lar saloon was to
be copied, but tb tf whole was to be under
church !nilu> nce and used ns a means to
draw ma-- awu y f rom (he less moral places
they Sequent. The scheme, in detail, ap
.RPfi’od plausible, but nothing ever came of it.
Now another minister has come forward
with anew idea for reaching men who do
not come within the range of the ohurcb
influence, and it is an idea quite as startling
as (he other. The new reformer is a Chi
cago preaoher, who was born in New Jer
sey. Marty nis his name. and be is pastor
of tbe Sixth Fresbyferian church. He ‘‘would
have horse raoing. cards, billiards, bowling,
base bail and every other recreation put
under tbe patronage of the church, making
the chureh the center of innocent amuse
ment, a social center as well as the reposi
tory of religious teaching.”
As horse racing without bookmaking and
open betting would soon go tbe way of
croquet, it must bo that the minister would
have the church take charge of the “riug”
at tho track and operate pool rooms in
town. And, os no repertory of card games
would be complete without poker, and as
poker cannot be ployed without “chip#," it
may be inferred that Mr. Martyn’s idea is
that the church shall keep “the bank’’ and
dispense “reds, blues and whites” to those
who desire to play, at the regulation
price.
The scheme suggested by the Chicagoan
is open to almost an endless tire of criticism,
all of which may be summed up In three
words: It won’t do! It won’t do to even
discuss its feasibility, or we should soon
beat somebody suggesting that the bar
scheme and the card room scheme be com
bined in rooms in tbe basement of tbe
church, and that a red lauterc be hung at
tbe dpor.
During tbe post week some of tbe opera
tions on tbe Chicago Produce Exchange
were of somewhat exceptional proportions.
Half a dozen speculators made up u clique
that boomed pork from (12 in September
to (19 a few days ago, when they liquidated
at top figures, escb Risking profits ranging
from SIOO,OOO to (750,000. lu wheat there
was a ‘ bulge’’ of 6,'-, cents, which is said to
have caught Ed I’ardridge, the notorious
‘ ’plunger,” short of tbe market more than
12,000,000 bushels, heeding traders thought
Pardridge was iu a serious position. That is
about tbe way the downfall of “Old Hutch"
came, be got caught abort for millions of
bushels of wheat aud was crushed.
There is a possibility that Georgs Wash
ington may again take a band in tbe shap
ing of tba destinies of this nation. He is a

have appealed to him to become a candi

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JANUARY 15, 1893-TWELVE PAGES.
The Hlll-Crcker Quarrel.
There is a coolneee between Mr. Croker,
the Tammany chief, and Senator Hill. It is a
coolDevs that may become an open quarrel.
Neither tbe senator nor Mr. Croker will sav
anything about the cause of the coolness,
nor will they admit their relations are not
as pleasant as they ever were. Neither da
mes, however, that there is some foundation
for the story that their relatione are
strained.
It has been only a few months since the
Tammany chief and all bis lieutenants were
shouting themselves hoarse for tbe senator.
They wanted him to be the democratic
nominee for President then. They do not
think so much of him new, and few of them
would put themselves to any trouble to do
him a service. He has been shorn of hig power
and is not in a position to do them favors.
He has no state patronage and will not be
permitted to distribute any of tba federal
patronage In bis state unless be gives Mr.
Cleveland's administration a hearty sup
port, and that be is not likely to do.
The trouble between Mr. Croker and
Senator Hill was caused by Senator Hill’s
action in having a resolution indorsing
Edward Murphy. Jr., for United States
senator introduced into the electoral col
lege of New York. Mr. Croker was one of
tbe electors, and tbe Introduction of the
resolution wag a surprise to him, and it
made him exceedingly angry. He did not
vote for it, neither did he say anything in
opposition to it. A word from him would
have killed it, but be could not speak the
word, because Mr. Murphy is hie warm per
sonal friend. If be had voted for it, how
ever, he would have placed Tammany Id
opposition to Mr. Cleveland’s administra
tion, because Mr. Cleveland had publioly
declared that Mr. Murphy did Dot possess
the necessary qualifications to represent the
stnte of New York in the Senate.
Iu his anger Mr. Croker said that Senator
Hill bad no bnslnees at Albany interfering
with state matters—that he ought to be iu
Washington attending to his senatorial
duties.
The resolution did not, of course, do Mr.
Murphy any good. Hit election to tbe
Senate bed been daolded up on long before.
Tbe purpose of Senator Hill In having the
resolution Introduced was doubtless to com
mit Tammany against Mr. Cleveland and
also make the Cleveland electors rebuke
Mr. Cleveland for opposing Mr. Murphy for
senator.
It looks as if Mr. Croker does not intend
to permit Tammany to be arrayed against
Mr. Cleveland’s administration. If he
should permit that an anti-Tammany
organization might spring up in New York
city, and, besides, Tammaoy men would
not be permitted to hare a share of the
federal offices in New York.
It looks as if Senator Hill had over
reached himself. If Tammany drops him
Mr. Murphy, who oontrols the political ma
chine of tbe state, would also drop him. He
would then tie without power or influence.
As senior senator from New Y ork he would
cut a sorry figure. Mr. Murphy, the junior
senator from New York, would be a man of
importance. He would give Mr. Cleve
land's administration a hearty support, and,
iu return, would be permitted to dictate the
federal appointments of the state. If this
little quarrel between Mr. Croker and Sen
ator Hill amounts to much the
may be the ending practioally of .Ue'latter’s
publio career.
Tbe Coif Waves.
One cold wave has followed another so
closely in t*ij locality that the present
spell of coll’ weather has lasted muoh longer
than Is u%a) f or such spells to last. There
a “ joen colder weather in this section iu
“l ent years, but none that has caused so
m■ oh discomfort. The high winds that
have prevailed for muoh or the time have
made it extremely unpleasant to be out
doors.
The reports from New York are that
there has not been so muoh ice in tbe har
bor and rivers for years, and high winds
have prevailed there as wellas here. North
and East rivers have been, and are still,
pretty thoroughly blocked with ice. On
Thursday the city was almost isolated from
the rest of the world. The trips of the fer
ryboats were made under many difficulties.
They wore, in fact, full of danger. Numbers
of them have beon crippled, the blades
of their wheels having been broken. The
Staten Island ferryboats were frozen in on
Thursday morning, and the prospect for
making regular trips sco i was not promis
ing. Of tbe QUO tugboats in New York
harbor ‘JSO are disabled. The others have
doubled their rates aud are reaping a rich
harvest. The ocean liners are detained at
their wharves, an ! in many kinds of busi
ness there isn’t much being done, owing to
the interruptions of transportaU u by
water.
Extremely cold weather is reported in
nearly every part of the country. I t will
have the effect of greatly increasing travel
to the south. Indeed the increase is already
very noticeable. In this locality the
weather, it is probable, will be very pleas
ant within the next few days.
The Philadelphia Ledger, summing up
the senatorial situation, says. “The next
United States Senate may stand: Repub
licans 40, democrats 42, populists 4, with a
contest in Montana and Wyoming debatea
bie. Beoator Stewart is classed here as a
republican and Irby as a dem'.crat.” There
may be some doubt about Senator Stewart’s
republicanism, after his silver declarations;
but there should be no doubt about Irby’s
democracy He is chairman of the state
democratic executive committee of South
Carolina aud bas frequently declared that
in politics be is a democrat first and an alli
anceman afterward Furthermore, two of
the populists, Peffer aud Kyle, it is under
stood, have agreed to vote with the demo
crats on tbe leading questions of public
policy, so that democratic control of the
Benate seems assured beyond perad venture
Oov. Roswell P. Flower's son-in-law, J.
Byron Taylor, was caught in rather bad
company by the police of Watertown, N.
Y.,a few oights ago. He was one of the
promoters cf an entertainment by tu# “Gar
land City Debating Society,” and the tick
ets said the subject for debate on that oc
casion would be “Pugilism; Lynch for
and Rangers against.” When tbe
polio* raided tbe place they found a prize
fight in full blast, and Taylor was one of
tbe backers of Lyneb.

Story of a Carolina Duel.
Staggering back from the line was cot an in
frequent occurrence wnen duels were sanction# 1
and even compelled by the rigorous unwritten
laws cf society, says a writer in tbe New York
.Ulvrrttsr; It -eidom denoted cowardice, and
wa* usually due to the teaction from tne terri
tde strain leading up to the trying ordeal of
tiring.
A humorous story involving this point ie told
of a certain South -Carolina duelist who had
killed several men m "affairs of honor." Nat
] uraily bis reputation was not that of a man
who could be killed with imtiuoity. Living in
! the same parish, but in a different locality, v as
; rather dare devil fellow who did a good ueai
of talkiug, but was nevertheless game to the
! tar, bone He was jealou* of having the name
! of t ’oi. continually drummed at him as the
I bravest man in the parish, and was foolish
enough to aspire to succeed him.
At last, through a misconstruction cf a re
ntal k male by the colonel, he imsgined himself
aggrieved to e sufficient extent to demand ar.
apology or a duel. The game though dandified
young man had never even seen a duel and was
a horribly poor pistol shot. Of course the
colonel did not apologize and a duel was ar
ranged. The colonel waited until his antagonist
had fired and missed, when he covered him with
his pistol. Invoiuntari y the. young man fell
back a foot or so from tne line.
. "Back to ti e mark sir " shouted tbe colonel,
leveling his pistol at the offender, who advanced
doggedly like a man going to bis execution, as
he fuily believed that he was. and it is but just
to him to say that bis cpinion was shared by
every one present except the colonel. That
worthy, after permitting his vis a-vis to suffer
torture for about a second, pointed bis pistol up
ward and pulled the trigger. The young man
almost fainted. He staggered backward,
overcome by the ordeal through which be had
passed, and kept putting his hands on his body
to ascertain that he was not hit. A reconcilia
tion was effected; a warm reconciliation was
effected; a warm friendship sprang up between
the two men and the colonel thereafter had no
warmer champion than the foolish young fel
low whose life he had spared.
This same colonel figured in another duel In
which the incidents were almost identical, ex
cept that he aimed at his opponent’s band ar.d
took off two of his fingers sooner than kill him.
in his other encounters, which resulted fatally,
the colonel was the challenger and fired first in
every case.
Tbe Lady and the Big Gray Cat.
“K ndiy assist me with this basket—careful,
please !’•
Tues;eaker, a large, handsome woman, had
just entered the depot, says the Chicago .Vrirs
Record. Diamonds bobbed p ayfully In her
earn, and the dr ss she wore would have made
Worth weep for joy.
I’assenger Agent Cummings pr mptly took
tbe basket. It wss of medium size, richly
trimmed with satin and decorated with needle
work. It weighed in all nearly forty pounds.
Mr. Cummings was amazed that a woman of
her evident wealtn should be csrrying such a
heavy burden.
Suddenly he felt a strange jolting in the
basket. The quilt was heaving up and down.
Mr. Cummings thought of babies, dogs, snakes,
chickens, and mud turtles ail in less than a
second. It was with a feeling cf relief that he
disposed of the mysterious bundle on a seat by
the side of the woman.
“Come, Dick,” she said, pleasantly.
Instantly the quilt went up with a volcanic
burst, and outpopped, like a whiskered Jack-in
the-box, a huge gray cat. It was the largest
that Mr. Cummings had ever seen. Diok stood
nearly eighteen inches high, and was long and
broad In proportion. His weight exceeded
thirty-five pounds. After showing him proudly
the lady snapped her fingers and tbe huge cat
jumped back into tho baskat.
Dick is the Goliah of his race. He wore about
his neck a richly ornamented gold band bearing
a medal from the tecent Paris cat show. His
owner, the handsome lady, never traveled with
out him close at her side. Dick was given a
drink of water, which he reoeived with a rare
display of feline majesty, and then Mr. Cum
mings bore him ont to the
train which left at 3:15., •- —-> -

A Parle Girl's
A young lady In Paris had been jilted by her
lover, thouKh she tried all she could to retain
her place in bis affections, tays I.e Te>vps.
After she had wept in Holitudf for several days
site determined to have her revenge .The vis*
count was preparing to din * at his club and was
waitiiu? lor tho return of hu vulet, whom he
had sent out for a paper, when there was u loud
riup and he had to open the door hirns If. Be
- him Bto and a tall female figure dressed in
black, her face ghastly pale with suppressed
emeu *n. The vissequu? started back—“Jeannel’ 1
The young lady advanced a few steps into the
passage, hissed the word *' Wretch. and pro
duced Irom behind herbick a small Venetian
phial, the gift of a former lover. Quick as
lightning she lifted it in the air and dashed its
contents iu the fac •of the gay deceiver. With
a loud yell .e dropped to the ground and
shouted for help. Tn© neighbors, the ooncierge
an<l the police hastened to the spot. r lhe un
happy man oould not be persuaded to get up
from the ground, on which ho rolled about in
apparent agony, crying, “Vitriol! vitriol: lam
a dead man!" Meantime .Jeanne stood there
like a marble statue gazing at her victim.
“Are you the perpetrator of the deed?"
gasped the e< mmisiary of police, out of breath
with running up the stairs.
Jeaune gave a silent nod.
“You have thrown a corrosive fluid at his
face?"
Another nod.
“I am dying—dying!"
“What kind of fluid was it?'*
Jeanne hesitated to reply. A gleam of fierce
satisf action illumined her features. Then cam©
the answer, clear and steady, trom her lips:
“Avery weak infusion of mustard!"
Jeanne was avenged. Paris had not
so much for n long time. Th© vucount has
made himself scarce.
A Great Snake Story.
The other evening I dropped in at Chester’s
local grocery, whera a number of tbe natives
were congregate 1 talking politics,
from which subject they suddenly
switched off to rattlesnakes, says R. K.
MunUttrick in the New Yon; Advertiser.
“Why." remarked one old man, taking a clay
pipe from his month, “I can remember the
time, when I wasa boy. that the rattlesnakes
were so thick that we didn't have to raise
corn."
"What's corn got to do with rattlesnakes?”
asked the grocer with a puzzled look.
, “A good deal,” replied the ancient tiller of
the soil, "because they are better for pigs chan
corn is. Why, we usrd to let the pigs run wild,
and the way they’d swell ,w those rattlers was
a caution I have known some
of the pigs to swallow them alive, and one day
1 put my ear against the side of one of my
porkers and l heard the snakes a-rattling away
inside like a 11 year locust, and the hog was
grinning like all possessed.”
“How did the pigs catch them ?” asked the
grocer.
“I found a plan all by accident." replied the
farmer. “One day my boy put an old hat of
his s ster’s on one of the pig* for fun. It was
awful funny to see the big ribbons tied under
the hog s chin But be soon learned that ti e
hat had a stuffed Dird on it. an Ihe ould pre
tend he was asleep, and as soon ass snake
ventured near to charm the stuffed blid the i ig
would grab him. I 600n bad hats with stuffed
bluebirds on all the pigs, and then they caught
the snakes so fast that when they had eaten
their till there were enough dead ones lying
around to fertilize the farm, and—"
When he looked up we had all tied.

ITMIMB OF INTSJiSST.
Though only 47 years old, Elizabeth Stuart
Pbelps has bean writing for publication
thirty years.
Says a correspondent of the Boston Tran
script: 4 I am constantly confronted with the
expression, ‘Mr. and Mrs. Thomas de Mont
morency Jones vborn Smith), or ‘Mr. and Mrs.
Augustus von Tompkins (born Snooks),' or *Mr.
and Mrs. Clarendon White (born Kedd).' did thus
and so. Now what does this mean® Was Mr.
<larend'n *White bn Kedd? Or was it only
Mrs. Clarendon White who was born I’edd!
An 1 if Mis. Clarendon White wants everybody
to kn< >w she was born Redd v\hy does she not
announce herself as Mrs, Redd-White* I have
hesitated long before confiding: my perplexity
to you for solution, dear sir. but 1 find my mind
dwelling s > constantly on the subject that I felt
it would be a great relief to receive informa
tion. Was Mr. ihomaa Montmorency Jones born
Smith? Aud, if so, must he have had Its name
changed by act of legislature♦ Or. if ali these
couples who were born with the same surname
ar ' first oousins, is not that rather aa alarming
outlook for socie-y?*’
In tbe legal profession the American woman
is making her way against much opposition. As
yet only a limited number of states admit her
to the bar, still seven women have beau ad
mitted to practice before the supreme court of
the United States. Both the Chicacjo Legal
A tn ,i and the C/.tcago Late Times are edited by
women lawyers, and several legal associations
have been formed, including the Equity Club
and the Woman's International Bar Association.
In Wyoming and Washington the mixed jury
eystein l as been tried *ith success, and iu Mon
tana the greatest of all triumphs has been
scored by the election of Elia Knowles to the
office of attorney general, an honor never before
accorded to a woman. Miss Knowles is a grad
uate of Bates College, and studied her profes
sion In the east. When she went to Montana
she found that tne statute prohibited woman's
admirtsion to the bar, but she secured the ie
peal of the law, and has ever since been prac
ticing with success aud profit.
Inventor A. V. smith almost paralyzed the
old Bailors in the Merchants’ exchange when he
placed a model of his new craft on exhibition
in the hig ball, says the San Krancisco Exami
ner. A single glance at the strange looking
craft was enough io kuocc out
swear cb fcea for the rest of
Jti'iite Yet .Vlr. Smith is of the opini >n that |
his invention is going to create a complete |
revolution in the manner of rigging vessels—at
least those intended for tho coasting trade. Toe
model snows a craft without a single spar such
as are found in sailing craft. Instead of tall,
tapering masts which make a landsman giddy
to look at, the new boat is fitted with a nig
frame composed of flit planks, inside of wbfca
are spread three long, fore-ar.d aft saws,
stretche lon frames made of steel tubes. The
foresail is away outside the knightheads aud is
in tho place where the ordinary craft carries
her jibs. The mainsail is about amid
ships, while the spanker, which is rigged di
rectly opposite to tne other sails, inasmuch as
it is on the fprward Hide of tho spar that sup
ports it, is as far over the stern as the foresail
Is over the bow The ©(.tire rig looks more
like a bridge truss than a vessel s spars, yet Mr.
binith claims that a vessel rigged on his model
will not only carry more canvas than a vessel
rigged in the ordinary manner, but ie also
much faster and safer. The model attracted
much attention, and as its cost will not be one
tenth that of a vessel i igged in the old stylo
fi.ime one may be induced to try it on some of
their vessels.
Germany suffers from an Intellectual overpro
duction, says a writer in the Forum. All pro
fessions are overcrowded. It was fondly be
lived up to our days that the state had no more
important task than to render the acquiring of
knowledge os easy as possible, and for that pur
pose to esabllsh many higher schools. But it
wss not asked whether there was room enough
for employing men when tha.r education was
finished, taking, tor instance, the career of
law in Prussia, we find that there are 1,351 men
-who have not only passed through tbe gyronaa
iuraandtbe university, but have s.-rved the
state gratis for about five years, while the an
nual average demand is lUO. There are more
tnan 7.C00 examined arcnitects witbont a fixed
employment; it is the same with engineers,
teachers In classes, mathematics, etc These
unemployed forces and parties larly
attracted to tbe great capitals,
because every one hopes that with
the many chances they offer be will find a gap
into which he may jump. Men of university
training are, almost without exception, capable
only of int llectual work If they do not suc
ceed in their branch they cannot become tailors
or carpenters; they must take to pettifogging,
giving lessons, copying, writing for inferior ta
pers, etc. There are lawyers, physicians, doc
tors of philosophy, among those who are regu
ularly relieved by the Berlin poor board, all
these men are, of course, discontented with the
present state of things and ready to join with
those forces which bold out hope of overthrow,
ingit. Nor are female candidates wanting in
this proletariat;* l those who give cheap les
sons, write mediocre novels for low class jour
nals or work for shops at starvation wages are
■welling tbe army of social revolution.
Somebody has seen, and glorified by an ad
miring description, tbe “Kallian” or pipe of
state whtcb tbe Shah of Persia smoke* bn high
imperial occasions, says the London Telegraph.
It is set with diamonds, rubies and emeralds of
tbe costliest kind, and is stated to be worth as
much as £BO,OOO. Such a pipe is possibleenougb
in an eastern palace, smoe not only may tbe
mouthp.ece and tbe upper and lower portion of
the "snake" be of pure gold, enameled and set
with tbe finest gems, but tbe water bowl and
pipe-bowl might be equally splendid and rich
with lavish jewel-work The shah's pipe of
state, however, is only a trifle to tbe treasures
in precious stunts which his imperial majesty
possesses in the palace at Tebe an. He has a
pair or large globes, terrestrial and sidereal,
wrought entirely of jewels upon a gold founds
tio i. The terrestrial globe shows all the coun
tries of tde earth done in different colored gems,
tbs seas and oceans being of sapphires and tur
quoises. Persia is all made of emerald-, and
England of rubies, Russia of malachite and
agates, and so on. The sidereal sphere repre
sents the constellations in diamonds and bril
Hants, upon a ground of dark blue enamel. Ytt
far beyond these In value is somewhere hidden
away in the To-hakhaca of Teheraa tbe pea
cock throne of the great mogul-, carried away
from Delni into Persia by Nadir Shah. This, the
Tahkt tao*. was valued by Tavernier, who saw
it and tbe Emperor of India seated upon It. at
4,000.000 sterling, and is a square seat of beaten
gold encrusted all over with tbe cb< icest jewels
of ancient India In addition to tLvSe a-d
many other almost invaluable bijoux, hi* im
perial majesty owns an enormous diamond,
much larger and more resplendent than the
Koh i noor,.to say nothing of many wond rful
gw. rJs. tbe hilts of which, albeit studded thick
witu diamonds rubies and emeralds, are of less
value than the matchless watered blade-.
Owner of sue i glories, the shah of shahs caniat
ford to smoke an £Bo,ooobubble bubble.
