Compared with tho seven wonders of the world classified by the ancients there are seven times seven wtmders now. The fabled Colossns of Rhodes, the Alexan drian lighthouse, the hanging gardens of Babylon, sink i.to insignificance beside the achievements of modem times. The Colossus of Rhodes was, in all probabil ity, a myth, while the Bartholdi statue is an accomplished fact, and undoubtedly equal in point of achievement to any of the seven wonders of the ancients, not even excepting tho pyramids. As a matter of fact, the real wonders of the world, albeit they have ceased for the most part to bo wonders by reason of familiarity, represent inventions rather than engineering and architect ural skill; tho railway, the steamboat, tho photograph, the telescope and the self binding reaper aro in themselves won ders of which tho Egyptians and the Greeks never dreamed. But iq the line of engineering skill, which was tho most prominent feature of tho original seven wonders, thero are so many proud triumphs that it is by no means an easy matter to name tho foremost seven. THE MODERN LIST. The list comprises tho Forth bridge, in Scotland; New Y’ork’s underground aqueduct, which is thirty miles long, on an average 130 foot underground, and ent through rock; the Eiffel tower; the Brooklyn bridge; the SL Gothard ton- nel, between Switzerland and Italy, be gun at a height of 1,340 feet, and cut for nine and one-lialf miles through the solid rock; tho improvements at Hell Gate, and the jottics at the month of tho Mis sissippi. It is easy to take exceptions to this list. There aro probably few intelligent peo- plo who will not dispute the claims of some ono or other of these achievements. The. Eiffel tower, for example, lofty as it is, should scarcely 1* permitted to crowd out the Suez canal, and the engineering feat of removing the obstructions at Hell Gate is hardly to be compared with the bnilding cf tho Pacific railroads. Tho Siberian railroad also is entitled to dispnto the claim of some of the wonders ] in the list, whilo the Bartholdi statuo is ; scarcely to be crowded ont, not only for ! its colossal proportions, but by reason of ] tho skill required to produce the results Knowing that, local election was go ing on in Grenada, Mies., I asked a col ored man, whom I found cutting wood about four miles out of town, wbyhe wasn’t at the polls. “Wall, I do an’ dnn take a heap of in terest in dat lechshun," he answered. “But why?" “Bight smart o’ reasons why, sah. S'posin’ 1 git up to do polls an’ .Mars Smith says to me: ‘Reuben, I want dem fo’ dollars yo' owessno fur bacon afore yo’wote.' How’slgwino ter pay him, sah?" “I see." “S'posin' I git up to do polls an’ Mars Jessup lays his hand on my shoulder an' says: 'Yo' ole black Reuben, whar's dat log chain yo’ borrowed of mo las' fall to haul sticks? 1 How’s I gwino ter tell him dat some nigger has dun stole it away from me?"' “Yes.” “.S'posin' I walk np to dat winder wid a woto in my hank an’ Mars Roberts calls ont to all de folks, ‘Heah's do man what knows sunthin' ’bout dat yearlin’ I lost last summer!’ Docs yo" reckon I could git dat wote in arter dat?" “Hardly.” “An’ B'poein’," he continued, as he leaned on his ax, “dat I should git all ready to woto an’Mars Ben Walters, an’ Mars Tom Davis an’ Mars George Turner should cry ont at me: ’Wliar's dem chickens? Whar’s dem hogs? Wliar’s dat honey?’ Do yo' dun reckon I could lift a hoof to git ont o' dat!'” “But you don’t acknowledge that yon are guilty of stealing hogs, chickens, honey and so forth?” I asked. “I doan’t 'zactly ’knowledge to nuthin’, sah, but Tze free to say dat dere has bin some of de moas’ presumptions times around yero since de wah yo' eber heard tell of, an' de furder I keep uway from a whito man de safer I feel.”—New York Sun. ' A-4 w " - - IIS' YOU WANT^ ;/• A MERRY CHRISTMAS, -CO TO- Little Mardre’s Curloilty Rewarded. An nmnsing instance of southern per severance under difficulties recently came to our ears. A young lady from Louisi ana had heard much of Mrs. Leslie Car ter’s beauty, and fearful that she would not see the now star in tho south tho en terprising girl mado friends with a habitue of the Ladies’ Athletic club, which adjoins the Berkeley Lyceum, where Mrs. Carter is rehearsing, and coaxed tho latter to find out if there was any secret communication between tho buildings. Curiosity found a way, but a very small one, and the girls crawled through it and obtained an entrance to tho Berkeley while rehearsing was on. Mias Enteto (this isn’t her real name) enjoyed the breaking in more than she aimed i.t. Thero aro several cantilever i did the rehearsal. She says Mrs. Carter bridges also, some ono of which is likely j is being coached by Belasco, even to tho to suggest itself to engineers as having i least inflection of her voice. The ad- good grounds for dispnting the place in the list of seven. To many unfamiliar with tho problem to bo solved it may seem os if tho jetties of the Mississippi wero hardly entitled to a place in the list. There are no mighty buttresses of stone, no marvel ous structures by human hands to arrest attention—only lines of willow basket work, filled with mud and gravel and sunk in the river channel. Bnt we see mirable points about her are her abun dant blonde hair and her dressing. She wore a neglige—ono of thoso famous negliges — of shimmering blue which fitted her form liko a mold. The two girls staid through about luilf aa hour of “Did I say that right, Mr. Belasco?" and “Is that tho way you want mo to do HT with which Mrs. Carter interlarded tho dialogue of tho play, and then crowded back to the Athletic rooms and washed what has been accomplished by such ' the dust from their hauds.—New York simple means suggested by the genius of Capt. Eads. smrLK BBT WONDERFUL. Hero is tho problem: A river necessary to the inland commerce of a continent, whoso waters continually bear vast quantities of sand and gravel toward the sea. A cubic mile of solid earth, it lias been estimated, is thus borne (down by the Mississippi every year. When the stream met tho waters of the gnlf the current was checked by the inflowing tides, and a great bnrdeu of earthy mat ter was deposited, whilo tho river spread ont over a great "extent of territory. Navigation was rendered uncertain and dangerous, and millions of dollars ex pended in dredging brought no practical results. The river could beat the United States government in a contest waged on that line. i Then came CapL Eads with a propo sition to gather the willows along the shores, make them into crates or mat tresses, fill them with mud and grivel, place them in parallel lines where a channel was wanted, and set the river to do its own digging by means of a quick ened current. That was tho basis of the jetty system, which has more than Cor. New Orleans Times. Frc»« tbe Dutton and Get Mustard. Everybody, no doubt, has long thought that there was still a great deal to bo desired in the matter of ernetstands— pepper bottles with brassy tops that come off when yon turn them upside down, and shower pepper in shoals upon yonr underdone mutton; vinegar bottles minus the vinegar; another bottle with a 'thick sediinenty something inside which you ore informed is “Worsted sauce,” and a mustard pot. At last, however, invention has stepped in and patents havo been gone for, and there4s a real now thing called tho patent auto matic mustard pot. It is a vory inge nious contrivance and is made in on electroplate or nickel silver case. It has a sliding piston, which you press, and then tbe mustard comes out, just oa much ns you desire, and keeps fresh and nice for quite a while.—Now Yorktlour- naL mfljnpiOTH BOOK STOHE Where you will find an elegant and carefully selected stock from which to choose.
