Mr. E.ltch waa a G r- man emigrant who began hia life in this country, or, so the atoi j goes, as a cook In ( Ban Francisco restaurant. Some money saved enabled him to become in time the proprietor; but in an evil day he failed, and, removing to Denver, be gan again In an humble way. Bat his excellent cookery waa appreciated, and profiting by peat misfortune, hia new ventures were made with prudence. Bavingt well Invested in|real estate, soon gambled him to “look np” among the city restaurants. Two years ago his waa one of the handsomest in the city, not to say the most unique. A large plate glass window revealed a “re cl try,” artistical ly arranged about a mu iature artificial lake, where swam fish s> u wild duck, as if in promise of thegssir. nomic delights within. Entering this realm of good dinners, one saw a range surrounded by white aproned and capped cooka armed with the nte nails of their trade. A “palace of truth” thia restaurant, where yon aaw what yon ordered, and c.nid see that it waa cooked by the beet method. There was no odor of cooking to disturb the faatldlous. ▲ projecting awning of sheet iron over the range pre- ▼outfit (hit* At this time his prices were high, bat everything was oi the best. Soon he conceived the Idea of a “boo ’ on aome land purchased beyond the city limits. A collection of wild animate was made, a theatre pnt up with refreshment rooms, on artificial taka for small toata. and a pond for wild fowl added. ▲ lodge gate with a twenty-five cent admission fee is the “open sesame” to all this. Passing through, the eyes fall upon gay beds of flowers, a band stand, wooden swings, and two buildings, one n museum, the other the theatre mentioned. The museum, in addition to the ordina ry menagerie attractions, boosts a new bom baby lion sporting about lta great lioness mother like n small oat. There la ateo a water buffalo from Benares, with a hide that resembles pale pink plnab, n sacred ball from India, and n dromedary with sin gnlarly unbalanced look in the weighty forequarters and humps like two heavy meal bags. Of course, the American fanna of the West, including mountain lions, prairie wolves andcoy- ottee, aa well as beavers and prairie dogs, abound. Tuls zoo, yet in its infancy, bids fair to be a great financial success, if one may prophesy from the daily crowd in atten danet; for Denver, aside from Hstteatres, two of which, the Tabor G.

The conversation took place at a mud dy crossing on Western avenue yester daymorning between the rid-whiskered driver of a delivery wagon and a raw- boned man with a basket on his arm. The latter, to avoid being run over, had, seiz-:d the horse bv the bridle and stop ped the animal riba sudd nnes that nearly threw the diiver off his aest. “Keep out o the way if yon don’t want to get run over!” yelled the red-whig kertd jehu. “My friind,” answered the man on the crossing, still holding the horse by the bits, “don’t yon know that this crossing belongs to the people of Chicago?” “Yen let go of that horstl” “Now be reasonable, my dear sir.

England's Prime Minister in a Fix. Eugene Field is responsible for the state ment that there has been lots of sport re cently at the expense of the Marquis of Salisbury. It seems that when the prime minister and his wife returned from their summer t ri p to the continent they brought back with them two and a half gallons of fine brandy and a large stock of choice cigars. It would perhaps be unfair to say that his lordship sought or hoped to evade the vigilance of the customs officers. What did happen, however, was that upon arriv ing at Xewhaven Lord Salisbury contrived to get his precious liquor and tobacco far as the private coach that was in wait ing for him. What betrayed him will per- haps never be known. All at once two signs eyed and Briarean handed officers swooped down upon that vehicle and •meted the brandy and cigars from the wealth of lap robes and rugs which envel oped them. Lord Salisbury did not at tempt to protest; he cheerfully paid the filO required for the passage of the goods. Bat this was not sufficient; the coachmsn was taken into custody and detained sev eral hours for having been a partner to what upon its face looked like a clear at tempt at smuggling. Of course the prime minister bud no difficulty in proving up the honesty of his coachman and securing his release, but as there is a superabund- aace of red tape in Europe even the prime minister found the process of exculpation exceedingly tedious. John Itoyfe O'Bellly’i Hoaument. John Boyle O’Reilly’s life was certainty •.Strange but noble one, and his frienfii have wisely decided that his tombstone toall be as grand, as ragged and as strange as were the man and his life. Nature had provided a tomb worthy of the man. On toe highest, point of Holyhood cemetery, Brookline, Miisl, is a jutting ledga it THE BOWLDER IN THE CEMETERY, leek, finely polished by glacial action, and tm it stands a giant bowlder nme 12 feet ■■■are and 15 feet high. This is to be John Boyle O’Reilly’s tombstone. A single tablet let into the face of this bowlder, anil containing the name, birth place, etc., is nil that man will add to the Batumi simplicity of this massive mono- Bth. The bowlder is of conglomerate, and Its natural rugged grandeur is enough. In Boston a more elegant and conventional monument will be erected, bat this natu ral memorial will stand for all time as the Best tribute to O’Reilly’s career. RAILWAY BREVITIES What .Men Like in Women. There is a certain something, which, for want of a better name, is called wo manliness, and it is that which makes women attractive to men. A great many virtues go to make np thia one great pos session and they are what men like in women. Men like, in the first place, amiability in women. Thf y like a pleasant appearance. They like the doing of little things that are pleasant to thtm. They like the courtesy of the fireside. They like women whoso lives and faces are ala ays full of the sunshine of a con tented mind and a cheerful disposition. They like a motherlineaa bigenongh to understand the wants of the older as well as the younger boys. They like an ability to talk well and a knowledge of the virtue or silence. They like a disposition to speak good, rather than evil of every human being. They like sympathy—which meant a willing ear for the tale of sorrow or g’ad- noss. They like knowledge of how to dress Well, which, by-the-by, does not mean conspicuously. Men are most attracted by good materal, plain draperies and quiet colore; cot by stony colors or de signs. They like Intelligence, bnt they prefer that the heart should be stronger than the brain. They like a companion—a woman who bas sufficient knowledge of the world and lta way* to talk well with them, who Is interested in tneir lives and their plans end in their hope; who knows how togive a cheering word, c r to listen quietly and by a tender look express the grief which the heart is feeling. They may tensities ssy that children It is said the Big Four paid $050,000 in gold for the Whitewater Valley road. The Big Four is now in full possession of the Cincinnati, Sandusky and Cleveland and the Columbus, Springfield and Cincin nati railroads. During t lie month of October the Hous ton and Texas Central shipped over its lines to Houston 137,000 bales of cotton. During the same month of 1833 110,000 bales were received. A block system apparatus was recently exhibited which automatically rings a bell or blows a whistle in the cab of an engine entering a block that is occupied by another train. The noise continues until the train leaves the block. The fastest time yet recorded for a long distance, made over a Texas road, was made by the Houston and Texas Central special from Austin. For 115 miles the time was two hours and twenty minutes. For fifty-one miles, one hour and ten min utes. There is a little less than COO miles of main line in the Old Colony system of roads, vet it was originally composed of twenty-seven railroad companies, which, from time to time, have been consolidated into one. On this mileage 1,330 passenger trains are handled every week day. One of the new engines received by the Cincinnati, Hamilton add Dayton recently hauled a vestibule train a number of miles at an average speed of a mile in fifty-seven seconds, and one mile.it is stated officially, was run in fifty-two seconds. It was ou a level, straight piece of track where this high speed was attained. The dining cars run on the limited trains of the Pennsylvania company be tween New York and Chicago have reached a paying basis. Ou the new lines it is ex pected they will, in time, become so popu lar as to pay, but they are uow run at a loss. It is stated that but few dining car liues are profitable to the companies. FACTS ABOUT PLANTS. A new albuminous poison of 100 times the power of strychnine is extracted from the seeds of Abrus precatoria. Tomato leaves close regularly every night as soon as the sun goes down. Some begin as early as 4:30 to go to sleep. Height produces modification, not only in the shape of plants, but the leaves be come thicker at great heighths, and their faces often have a double layer of cellules. Beggar’s lice and ticks have woolly claws or sharp points that they may adhere to the hair of animals, and so be carried and dropped to where they may take root and flourish. The seeds of many plants, as the thistle, are provided with feathery down, and other apecimeus have winglike appendages, so that they may lie scaled off or blown by the winds to suitable ground. A medicament more powerful than qui nine in counteracting fevers is said to have been discovered in Mexico. It is a plant called the pompolano, the root of which eontaius a substance analogous to quinine. It has been stated that since the sunflow er has been cultivated on certain swamps of the Potomac malarial fever has decreas ed. At tin- month of the Sheldt in Holland it is stated that similar results hare been ohserved. LITERARY LIGHTS. Emile Zola, through reading at night, has nearly lost his eyesight.

The Change Will Be Unexampled—Some thing About the Retiring and the In- coming Members—Sad State of Some of the Outgoing Veterans. [Special Correspondence.! Washington, Nov. 18.—One hundred and fifty-six, or nearly one-half, of the mem bers of the next house of representatives are not members of the present house. A few of the new members served one or more terms in the past, but substantially every other man in the next house will be a greenhorn. Such a shaking np was never before seen. The greatest number of new men that ever came into the house to gether was 135, bnt now this high water mark is raised by at least two dozen names. As usual, the greatest number of changes is in the northern states. I have in these tetters more than once pointed out that the different tendencies of the two great sec tions of the country in respect of keeping men in congress term after term is giving the south a great advantage in influence and efficiency of service. For some reason or other the people of the north are less constant in their loyalty to individuals, and are disposed to improve every oppor tunity to get new hired men at Washington. In many districts there is a sort of un written law that a congressman shall have but two terms before stepping down and out, and often the man who has served one term is very lucky to get the other one, so eager is the rivalry and so impatient are the rivals. The people of the south, as a rale, take directly the contrary view. They believe in keeping a man in Washington as long as he does them good. Thus the representatives from the south have op portunity to develop and strengthen them selves. Age and experience give prestige in congress as well as anywhere else, and it is in these essentials that the statesmen from the south have signal advantage over their brethren ty-om the north. Take the result of the recent elections for illustration. In the house the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia have 108 members. Seventy- seven of these are re-elected, and only 31, or 2 out of 7, will be succeeded by new men in the Fifty-second congress. Of the E23 members hailing from the northern and western states, including Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia, 134, or 3 out of 5, have failed of re-election to the next congress. In the southern states the changes are more numerous than nsual on account of the appearance in politics of the Farmers' Alliance movement. Notwithstanding the effect of this new activity in the political field the state of Alabama sends back to congress all of her present representatives, sight in number. It is the only state in the Union having more than one repre sentative which does do so. Arkansas ■ends but one new man, to take the place •f Mr. Rogers, that master of satire and of invective, who created so many stirring scenes in the lumse last winter. Mr. Rog ers voluntarily retired from public life, desiring to do something for himself and hia old age, and not to give all his energy and years of fruitfulness to his country. There are six new men from Georgia, the largest number from any of the southern States. The man who will be most missed from this delegation is Barnes, of Augusta—the leviathan, good natured Barnes, whose S50 pound liulk has been one of the land marks of t lie Democratic side of the hall for five years. His successor, Maj. Wat son, is likely to lie the smallest man in the next house, as bis weight is about ninety pounds. Extremes will meet when Barnes courteously hands his chair over to Wat son. Kentucky sends but two new men, one to succeed ex-Speaker Carlisle. Louisi- makes but two changes, and Mis sissippi t he same number. Iu Missouri five new men appear; one of them retracing r+re picturesque Mr. Niedingliaus, of St. Louis, ho used to throw the house into convul sions of laughter with his funny speeches, ■hich were intended to be serious. In Missouri is a striking instance of the un certainty of politics and of the breaks oi fortune. This has become known as “the fanners’ year” in politics, ami yet among the slain in tiiis state is Farmer Wade himself, one of the most able and zealous of all the champions of agriculture. It is a singular fact that in all the southeru states not one of the leaders in congress, not one of the men ot' great intuience, was defeated. Mills, Crisp, Herbert, Oates, Hemphill, McMiliin, Houk, Bioant, Hook- tile two Breckinndges, McCreary, Allen, Hutch, Island, Dockery, Heard, Richardson, F.nloe, Culberson, Lee, O’Fer mil, Cowles, Tucker—all are returned. Not so in the north. Among the unfort unate statesmen from this section are many of th" strongest and brightest men of the present bouse. Tiie greatest num ber of changes is in New York, where eighteen lm-n .if a delegation of tbirty-fou fail of re-election. One of the new men— Mr. Lockwood—has already seen congres ■ional service, so that exactly one-half of the delegation iu the next congress will have the l-opes to learn. Mr. Farquhar, the printers’friend, and one of the many practical printers iu the present congress, Is perhaps the most noted of t’u< retiring members. It is an odd fact that only one of al! the members from New York—Mr. Xetckam—is entitled to rank among the veteraus of the house, and he has been twenty-two years in congress. Pennsylvania, with a delegation of twen ty-eight men, sends fifteen new members. Of those re-elected only two t . re seen ex tended service—O’Neill and Hornier. The former i- the father of the house, having first entered congress in 1853, and missiug but one term in all the quarter of a cent, ury and more that has since elapsed Mr. Hanner has been sixteen years iu congress and is well up among the veterans. Of the retiring members ex-Senator . -uckalew and Thomas M. Bayne are the most note worthy. Doubtless this is the end of Mr. Buckalew’s political career, which lias been one of most distinguished service. He was prosecuting attorney of his county nearly fifty years ag o; was elected to the state senate: w.is United States treaty commis sioner with Paraguay; was elected com mission!-!- to revise the penal code of Penn syl vania: was miuister to Ecuador; was for the fourth time elected to the state senate, and finally to the United States senate, and was unsuccessful candidate for governor, member of the constitutional convention, and finally congressman for six years. Mr. Buckalew is now 70 years old. During the stormy sessions of last winter ami summer he distinguished him seif as the one Democrat who always voted pea or nay when in his seat. Mr. Bayne is still a young man, as statesmen gj, being but a little* past 50, yet he has been in con gress fourweu years. His personal con troversy with Mr. Bynum last spring gave rise to one of the most excit iug i ncideuta of the session. Another veteran of public service who will now retire to private life is Gen. Na thaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts. Gen. Bankscamc to congress before Mr. O’Neill did, but has not served as many terms. Thirty-seven years ago, lacking only a few days, Mr. Banks first took his oath as a representative in congress. That was in the thirty-third congress, of which A. H. Colquitt, now senator from Georgia, and Isham G. Harris, now senator from Ten- were also members. The last named had, indeed, already served two terms, and he is therefore the member of congress who dates farthest back. Next to him are Banks and Colquitt, and after them JustinS. Morrill and John Sherman. In Massachusetts five members fail of re- alection, including Greenbalge, the wit and orator, who actually made fuu at his own political funeral, and Rockwall, who had become known to fame as the father of seven bright children, “a girl for every day in the week aud a boy for Sunday.” The most noted of the new men from Massachusetts—the one who will be most eagerly watched—is Sherman Hoar, a Democrat, against whom his uncle, Sen ator Hoar, spoks and worked with all his vigor. Yonng Hoar, bearing the name of two United States senators and with tto blood of a family of statesmen in his veins, will, with Cabot Lodge, St. George Tucker and John F. Andrew, form quite a group of scions of great families in the next house. In California we find another veteran taking off the harness. Gen. Vandever de clined a renoraination to congress, con cluding that he had had enough of public service. Thirty-two years ago he was first elected to congress from Iowa, bnt the war breaking out he left his seat and William B. Allison, now senator from Iowa, was elected to the vacancy. This is what Sen ator Allison refers to when he says, as he sometimes does say, that he had military experience; that be was Gen. Vundever’s substitute—in congress. California also appears to have the spirit of change, for of her six members of the present house but one is re-elected. One of the most complete turnings over seen in the north is in Ohio, where of twenty-one statesmen in the present house only six are re-elected. Here a number of strong men are retired to private life, among them the leader of the majority in the present house, William McKinley, Jr. Mr. McKinley is now completing his thir teenth year of service in the house, having been once unseated after serving half a term. Ben Butterwortk, wit, philosopher and orator, who declined a rciiomination; Gen. Grosvenor, Judge Thompson, Judge Seney, Capt. Morey and Gen. Kennedy, famous for his anti-Quay speech of last summer, are other well known Ohioans who do not return to congress. Michigan sends six new men, among them “little Ford,” who was in the last congress, and who contrived to make a great reputation for himself with one shrewd move, an investigation of the im migration question. Two or three well known men ure among those who disap pear, at least temporarily, the most con spicuous being Gen. Cutcheon, now chair man of the committee on military affairs. Illinois semis eight new men, greatly to the surprise of all the political wiseacres. Some of the most famous men in the dele gation are left at home, among them Joe Cannon, who is one of the veterans of the house, having served nearly eighteen years, and who lias slowly risen to a position of leadership in his party; Mr. Payson, one of the most popular and earnest men in the house, who is serving his tenth year; Capt. Rowell, chairman of the elec tions committee, who is in his fourth term; George Adams, of Chicago, who has also been four times elected, and “Billy” Ma son, who has lieen in congress long enough to gain a national reputation as an orator. Frank Lawler, the quaint Irish member, about whom so many good stories are told, declined a renomination for congress in order to take the profitable office of sheriff, and now, after a campaign which cost him the last dollar he had in the world, he finds himself defeated for sheriff. Iowa semis seven new men in a delega tion that numbers hut eleven, among the defeated ones being ex-Governor Gear, a member of the ways aud means commit tee, who has spent a fortune in politics. Among the many changes in Wisconsin is one which brings a new and unknown man to the seat hitherto occupied by “lit tle Lafallet-te,” who some years ago wanted to be an actor, but who was induced to give up that ambition on account of his slight figure. Mr. Lafallette was also a member of the ways and means commit tee, and one of the promising men of his party. Minnesota returns but one of her pres ent representatives, Nebraska none at all, and Kansas but one—stern and sterling Farmer Funston.” Of the thirteen mem bers from Indiana six fail of return to the next house. .1 udge Holman is not one of the luckless half dozen.

Chicago, Nov. 17.—Now it is the turn of the states and territories—every one of them—to put their best foot forward in the direction of a creditable representation of their interests at the World's Columbian exposition. The local directory has fully redeemed all the pledges npon which the location of tlie enterprise was finally con ceded to tlie Garden City. Its hands were tied in a very large degree until the peoplo of the city and state at the recent election approved by their votes the proposition for the issue of bonds to a total of $5,000,000 for the fair’s treasury. Now that this large amount is within sight, and an additional million and a half actually in hand, tlie contract with the government has been fulfilled to the letter; contracts can be let without the fear that there will la- no money with which to meet the demands of contractors; the president can issue his invitation to foreign govern ments to participate, and tlie states can proceed to get their organizing machinery The Esquimaux put the iufant as soon as it is born on a layer of moss in a bag made of leather and lined with liairskin.

An Old N’c Cu i>k—The Wonderful Sales of •th’ Works. [SjR'eial Corresjiondeiice. J New York, Nov. IS.—One of the new books of the fall is “El Furendeis,” by Miss Maria S. Cummings. Really it is not a new book, as it was written by Miss Cummings t hirty years ago, was published aud was forgotten. Within the past two or three years, however, attention has been called to tlie extraordinary achievement of Miss Cummings, aud so much has been said about it and lier that the publisher* decided to bring out this book. With two or three exceptions the story written by Miss Cummings which is called “The Lamp Lighter” lias been tlie most successful American story ever written. With Coop er’s “Spy,” and “Leather Stocking Tales,” and Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin," “The lamp Lighter” stands chief among the tiooks by American authors whose sides have been prodigious aud uever ceasing. Maria Cummings was a Salem, Mass., girl ami expected to make teaching her life business. The literary impulse pos sessed her, however, and she wrote short sketches and stories early in the “fifties,” which were well liked, but which gave no evidence of tiie phenomenal success which was iu store for her. In 1854 was published “The Lamp Lighter.” It made an extraor dinary hit. Over 40,000 copies were sold within two months after the book was published, aud it shared with “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which had then been pub lished only two or three years, the literary excitement of the day. It was a touching love story, and was deeply iuspired with religious sentiment. It did not deal with a great political theme, u did “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and there fore did not command the universal atten tion or exercise the important political and moral influence which Mrs. Stowe’s great work did. But it was found in almost ovary household in the nieth and east, lta fame spread abroad and it was repnb- Ifcfeed. The book has also stood the test eftime. Although it is thirty-six year* since it wns first published, it still has a Steady sale and is to be found on the shelves of any well kept book store. One of the ablest publishers in New York city saya that “The Lamp Lighter” is sure to be kept in stock hereafter, just as are tto English classics. This is a greater success for the book than was the pecuniary one. Books have been published which have exceeded in ■ale that of “The Lamp Lighter,” although this story Jias already sold about 160,003 titled to special credit and recognition upon the roll of fame by inaugurating their preparations in advance of the formal invi tation of the national commission. Over thirty legislatures will be in session be tween now and February, and every one of them can certainly lie depended npon to manifest a liberality in*tue matter of ap propriations that will enable its respective commonwealth to make an exhibit repre sentative in the highest degree. As an indication of what is expected it. is interesting to note that the Iowa legisla ture has already appropriated a round fifty thousand dollars for preliminary ex penses alone, coupled with an intimation that twice that sum would be forthcoming for the exhibit proper when the body reas sembles next year. The legislatures, how ever, ought not to lie expected to bear t he entire brunt of the financial obligation. In every state tlie veil to do citizens, animat ed by patriotism toward their country and a public spiritedness toward their com monwealth, should get together and sup plement wliat is doue by their lawgivers with public subscriptions. This is the idea, at least, of the national commission, and it will doubtless stimulate the states. There seems to have been a revulsion of feeUng with reference to the fair in con tinental countries during the past few weeks. The venom and hostility which a few mouths ago characterized the utter ances of many influential foreign journals regarding the enterprise have given way to a more generous sentiment, now that it is seen that the United States is actually in earnest aud proposes to make this eveut tower far above its predecessors. Scores of communications aud inquiries are com ing in to headquarters from England, France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Swit zerland, Norway, Sweden and Mexico, and in several of the leading art and musical centers of Europe independent movements have already been inaugurated looking to the special representation of the tine arks. Almost daily, moreover, the headquarters is visited by some promiueut foreigner from one country or another who is anx ious to acquaint himself with what has been done and what remains to be done. One such visitor the other day was the German art commissioner to the Mel bourne exposition, and another was the wife of a Mexican nobleman, who gen erously offered to contribute as a loan ex hibition the finest collection of Murillo’s paintings that exists, together with a col lection of bronzes and marbles that has been in gradual accumulation ever since tiia days of Cortez, the Spanish conqueror of Mexico. With such evidences of sympathy as these on every hand who can doubt but that tlie presidential invitation to the world will tie cordially received and just aa cordially responded to? Henry M.
