REMEDIES
Senator John A. Logan, of III*.
iioIb. died at ills Washington residence
at about 3 o'clock on last Sunday after
noon. HI* death wan not expected by
the public, and the nnnouncemiint has
fallen upon the country an a great and
sail surprise. He was sick but a short
while with rheumatism. Brain trouble
set In. after which he sank very rapid
ly. Senator Logan was an able man,
aud one who had the courage of hi9
convictions. His death will be a great
loss to the Republican party.
The present uneasy feeling over a
probable war in Europe suggests that
the governments of that continent
would, perhaps, not precipitate host-li
lies, but would do little to avert what
we in America would consider a cal
amity. The growing “isms” of Eu
rope keep every country iu a constant
state of dread from internal enemies,
an I the hope te that war would be to
each what the loss of blood usually
proves to au individual, weakening,
but resulting iu a healthy bodily state.
When Mrs. Logan, the devoted wife
of Senator John A. Logan, realized on
Sunday, that her husbaud was in a
dying condition, she at once scut a mes
senger to the Metropolitan Methodist
church, of which site aud her husband
were member*, to ask the prayers of
the minister ami congregation foi her
family. When the Rev. Dr. Jno. B.
Newman, the pastor, received the sad
news he an non need it to the congrega
tion, and, subsequently, just before
the benedictiou, led the congregation
first in silent and then in audible
prayer.

COAST DEFENSE.
M. Quad. la Detroit Free Press.
Yon may bate seen something In
the papers about the coast defenses.
Tbe Idea has somehow got abroad that
our roasts onght to be lined with forts
and guns aa a warning to Europe
against declaring war against us some
morning before breakfast. Engineers
have surveyed and reported, and fot
about $80,000,000 we can get things in
such shape that when the enemy’s
first Iron-clad heaves In sight she can
be saluted la proper style.
A lot of ns wers sitting in the depot
waiting-room at Trenton, and tbe only-
man who had a newspaper waa read
ing away for dear life, when a stranger
entered with two saebels and a tall
girl, chugged tbe baggage nnder a seat
waved tbe girl to another, and walked
up to the man with the newspaper and
CHINESE MANDARIN.
“Mister, is there anything In the
paper about our coast defenses ?’*
“No, sir!** was tbe gruff reply.
“That's singular. Have they given
up the Idea, do you think ?**
“I don't know what you mean, sir.”
, don't ? -.Wby, -Lhejr'va -beea
talking for tbe last year about build
ing forts to protect our coasts. I live
down near the month of TumVRiver,
and 1 rather expect the£ will build a
big fort there. The way things are
now England, France or Germany
could declare war against us and land
a force at Tom's River before we iiad
our eyes open. They'd land right on
my farm, and nobody knows what
damage they’d do. Don’t see anything
about a fort at Tom’s River, eh ?”
“No. sir.”
“Well, that’s singular. If this gov
ernment expects me to get down be
hind a rock and keep Europe from
randingat that point it's expecting a
leetle too much for one man. I'd
fight te the death, of course, but the
chances are that a hull navy could lick
one uigb-sigbted man. So the paper
don't say auy thing?”
“Didu't 1 tell you no in the first
place?”
“Say! mebbe you don't keer a cop
per about coast defenses!” exclaimed
the two-seuhel man, as a red spot ap
peared ou either cheek.
“Not a copper, sir.”
“1 thought so from the start. You
live out in Michigan, or Indiana,
Illinois, and are tucked away in some
holler where the sheriff can't find ye,
let alone an invader of oar sacred «ile!
Oh, no. you don't keer!”
“Father !*'chided the tall girl,
she half rose, but he turned ou her
with:
“Mary, you keep shet! I've alius
thought if Europe declared war agiu
us we'd have plenty of enemies right
at home, and here’s a case to prove it!
Stranger, did you fight iu the last
war?”
Xoneo* your business, sir!”
‘There's his open hand, gsnlle-
men!” said the two-sachel man, a* he
turned to the crowd. “When you
find a man who don’t k*er how soon
the hull of Europe jumpa on thl* coun
try you have found a man who would
(Ug up the bones of Washington aud
sell them to a junk man for $5.”
The man with the newspaper laid It
down, got on hU feet anu asked the
other it he wouldn't step out doors a
minute.
“No, sir, I won't.” was the prompt
reply. “In the fust place, I’ve got
these two sachels to pertect; in the
second plrce, there's Mary; in the
third place, I don't fight with no man
who dido't fight in the last war; iu
the last place, Tasked you if there was
anything in the paper about our coast
defenses.”
“And I said no, you id ot!”
“Au ' you said you didn't keer!”
“Neither do I!”
There’s his hand agin, gentlemen!
While I'm lying behind a rock at
Tom's River, waiting to sell my life in
defense of my country, here's a feller
from Coon Holler. State of Indiana,
who don’t keer a cooper's copper how
tiick Europe kivers the site of New
ersey with the blood of our bravest
men !**
“Father!” chided Mary again.
“Lemme me alone, Mary! You
know all about carpet rags and darn
ing aud housework, but yon never
heard the rumble of w»r. If Europe
is going to jump onto this country I
want to know who's going to shoot me
In the back as I face the cuerny.”
The man with the newspaper opened
it and sat down with a dangerous glit
ter in his eyes, and there was a solemn
silence for a f»w minutes. Then the
Totn's River man edged over to Mary,
and they slid outdoors together. Then
he beckoned through the open window
to three or four of us, and as we went
out he surrounded us and whispered:
“Gentlemen It’s my solemn opinion
that that fellow is a januUsary from
England who has come over here to
coax Uncle Sam not to put up any
oast defenses. I want to say right
here, and I want you to hear and re
member it, that if the enemy land at
Tom's River it will be over my dead
body, and I won't be to blame for It.”
Mtery sf a Cripple.
New York Herald.
Visitors at the House Committee on
Appropriations cannot fall to have
noticed tbe little cripple who sits di
rectly outside the door and whose
duties are those of errand boy to«he
members. The child—for he ia noth
ing more—ha* quite a history He can
not walk without the aid of cruthes.
He began selling newspapers on the
street when little more than 6 years
old. Since that time he has not only
contributed to his own support, but to
that of his widowed toother as well.
Three years ago Judge Holman, of
Indiana became interested in the boy
aud had him placed on the pay roll at
a salary o $720 a year. At the begin
ning of the last session the Judge re
quested the lad's reinstatement, but as
a regular messeuger had been mean
while employed, the boy's services
were not needed, ai d the Committee
on Accounts, to whom matter wa« re

secret of the opposition lay in the fact
that some of the members could not
forego the satisfaction of retaliating
upon Mr. nohnan for tils everlasting

of 250 pounds. He wears European
garments and displays magnifirentdla-
monds bought by himselt in Amster
dam Every mandarin has a peacock’s
feather and a peculiar button worn on
the crown of his bat. This mandarin
keeps his feather in a long tin case and
bis button in a jewel box. He is
known In China as a mandarin of the
blue button. Tbe button is a sapphire
of considerable value. O.xaslonally
the Chinese official exhibits the insig
nia of his office to his friends, and at
rare intervals he appears In full vest
ments. His silken robes set off his
manly proportions to great advantage.
His eyes are keen and sparkling and
have the Tartar bent of expression.
The hands are plump and hairy* the
fingers are covered with jewels, and the
face is plump and dumpling like.
For years this mandarin bad charge
of tbe Imperial arsenal at Tsin-Tsii?.
He bad served a practical apprentice
ship with a noted American machinist,
and be was endowed with remarkable
skill and ingenuity. He drew the
plans of and constructed several Chi
nese cutters and men-of-war. The ma
chinery was made under his super
vision, and tbe vessels were models of
naval architecture. Some of them are
still afloat on the great rivers - of tbe
celestial empire. Tbe mandarin’s in
genuity, however, was not confined to
the modeling of maritime craft. Ho
made Dahlgren guns and Remiugton
rifles for tho Chinese army and navy.
He Invented machinery for the manu
facture of cartridges and shrapnel
shells, and turned out bayonets by the
thousand. Ward and Burg^vine found
his aid invaluable in the great Taeping
rebellion. He warned Burgevine of.
tbe (lauger of leaving the imperial ser
vice for that of the rebels, and Burge
vine died regretting that be had not
taken bis advice. Before being flayed
alive the aventurer sent his final fare
well to this stauch mandarin, who re
mained loyal to the reigning dynasty
Iri the darkest hour of the revolt. In
detailing reminlscenes of the civil war
that cost China 10,000.000 lives the
mandarin tells a thrilling story of the
late of a young Englishman who was
captured with Burgevine. The Briton
was. reserved for a death more horrible
than that of his leader. H ■» was pack
ed to his waist in a barrel of unslarked
lime. When hungry lie was fed on
salt fish, and when thirsty xourd* of
water were passed to him without stiut.
The condemned man was left iu the
hot sun. where no breeze could fan his
brow. On the fifth day be died in ter
rible agony.
Eighteen years ago the mandarin
left China and came to the United
States with over a half million In gold.
Here he has resided ever since, spend
ing his summers in a seaside cottage,
near Milford, Conn., and his winters
in Florida. He is au accomplished
fisherman, and he owns a wonderful
assortment of rods, reels and files. His
fishing tackle alone Is valued at over
$5,000. Ten years ago he owned the
them they were “in** and rushing

climb the opposite gradient, to emerge
once more into daylight in eight tnin-

VENTILATION OF THR TUNNEL.
As before remarked, the ventilalioii
of the tunnel is a little short of perfect.
During the construction of the work
a fan 18 feet in diameter, discharging
90,000 cubic feet of air |>er minute,
was used. This has now been replaced
by a fau 40 feet In diameter and 12
feet wide, made on the same principle
as those used at Mersey and a portion
of the Metropolitan tunuels. The tuu
nel is 26 feet wide and 20 feet high
from the double line of rails to. the
crown of thearch inside the brickwork.
The rails are laid on longitudinal
sleepers. The tunnel lias been lined
throughout with vitrified brick set in
cement, aud no less titan 75,00Q,000
brick have been.used in this work.
This vitrified brick wall lias a thick
ness of three feet in the crow n of tbe
arch between the “shoots.” but as the
tunnel rises from thl* lowest |ioiut on
a gradient iu one iu 90 one way and
one in 100 toward the Gloucestershire
side, this thickness Is gradually re
duced to two feet three inches.
OTHER GREAT TUNNELS.
The total length of the Severn tuu
nel Is 4 miles 624 yards, 'lhe St.
Gothard tunnel i* miles, Mout
Cents tunnel 7hi miles, Arlberg tun
nel (Austria) 6** miles; there Is a tun
nel iu Massachusetts 4*£ miles,' the
Standege tunnel, on the T.ondon A
Northwestern is 3 miles long, aud the
Box tuiiuel rather less. But the.spe-
ciai feature of the Severn tunnel lies
in the fact that 2h* miles of it have
been constructed from 45 to 100 feet
below the bed of a rapidly flowing
tidal estuary, -offering engineering
difficulties which im ke it the most’re-
uiarkable tunnel Iu the world.

Al»otit a year ago the boy purchased

tew day* ego. the lad came bounding
into the chamber, his face aglow with
pleasure, and approaching Mr. Owen
excitedly exclaimed:
“I’ve got him! He’s outside. Come
out and take a look at him.”
Some of tbe members sitting near
Mr. Owen, prompted bv cariosity,
followed the couple outside. There
they found the dignified Indianlan
bartering with a small colored person
for the purchase of a vicious appearing
goat, which was rearisg and plunging
madly in its efforts to butt Mr. Owen
over. The bargain was finally con
cluded upon the payment of $6. That
night Billy Owen, as the goat is now
called, was given his first lesson in
wagon hauling, with a young page of
the capitol as driver.

The Constitution says that a well-
| known railroad man, who arrived in
j Atlanta from New York on Monday.
I informed a reporter of that pa|ier that
General E. I'. Alexander would be the
| next President of the Central railroad.
| He said that General Alexander’*
friends had thirty-four thousand shares
of Central railroad stock ileposuted
! with the Central Trust company, of
i New York, and that they could couni
' on enough additional share* held iu
! Georgia to elect him. Another rail-
{root! man declared that he wa* will*
• ing to bet twenty-five hundred dollars
| that Captain Raoul would be le-
i elected. ■
i Christmas day dawned bright and
j beautiful, and was a pleasant contrast
| to the disagreeable weather that has
! prevailed on many previous Christmas
! occasions. Santa Claus was liberal in
; his visitation, and a city was never
filled with a more joyous manifesta
tion of childish glee. With older peo
ple the pleasures’ol' tills * liristmas have
been of a quieter character, but none
tbe less enjoyed, than formerly. There
has been a marked absence of rowdy
ism, and a soberer city was nerer seen
on Christmas. There have been none
of the rasuaiities that usually accom
pany and mar tbe pleasures of many to
chronicle, for which a sense of grati
tude prevails to highten the apprecia
tion of all. At this writing, pleasant

known stream in New Brunswick. In
those days President Arthur, Billy
Florence, Larry Jerome and oilier
well-known salmon killers occasionally
accepted invitations to wet a line In hi*
preserves. Nor were his rations of
saki, tea, ginseng and shark's fins de
spised. Many an Oriental dinner was
discussed near the salmon pools. The
entertainments were rendered all the
more enjoyable from a. raentiial pre
paration which served to deaden the
bites of black files and mosquitoes. Of
late years, however, the mandarin has
given up these Northern expeditions,
but he retains probably the finest se
lection of salmon flies In the country.
He spread out his collections b-fore a
brace ot amateur fisherman the other
evening after dinner. There were
bushel or more of “Jack Scotts,’
“faries,” “ailver grays.” and other
files made in England, Scotland, Ire
land, Norway, Canada and the United
States. He named not only each fly
at a glance, but also its designor and
maker.
The mandarin departs tor Florida on
January 2. Sixteen winters has he
•pent on Indian river. He owns a trim
yacht, which he boards at Mosquito
Inlet, and on which he passes the win
ter months. General Francis E. Spin-
net, General Charles S. McArthur of
Troy, Congressmen Charles Dougher
ty, Frederic de Barv, Arthus Benson
of Brooklyn, Washington E. Connor
of Wall street, aud other distingif *
gentlemen have met him iu Florida
and enjoyed his hospitality. He is as
well known on the eastern coast as any
of the natives. The Minorcans ail
swear by him, and the Crackers, in
cluding the collector at Fort Caprou,
are all delighted witfi his whisky.
Last winter lion. Matthew Quay, of
Pennsylvania, joined him in an expe
dition’up the north prong or the St.
Lucie on a hunt for sea cows, the St.
Lucie being l feeding ground for the
manatee. Commodore Thumbs B.
As ten, of New York, afVward joined
the mandarin in a trip to Jupiter
Light. Asten was pleased and aston
ished by his experience. The man
darin rigged up artificial flies on piano
wire, and th<
the commodore enjoyed the
finest fly fishing of Iris life. Salmon
rods were used for casting, and blne-
fisli and raralls weighing from three to
eighteen pounds were taken by these
flies ou ever iucoming tide. The most
gamey fish of all, however, Comuio
dore Asten says, was the lady fish. It
is from two to three feet long and
shaped like a pike. It takes a fly
ravenously. When struck by the
hook it springs repeatedly from the
water and dashes away like a race
horse. It requires an experienced
fisherman to land one.
Mr. A6ten was especially astonished
bv tbe mandariu's success in hooking
poin|Hino. For years, ms in the case of
the shad, it w*as supposed that this fish
would uot take the hook. The man
darin was the first to dispel this illu
sion at Jupiter Light. He brought
down 6ome strong hooks of his own
manufacture not larger than trout
hooks. These he halted with soft
clams. The bait was sucked in so
gently by the pompano that the hook
was skinned without warning, and the
fisherman had his trouble for his pains.
The mandarin outwitted the fish
fiually by tying the bait to the hook
with a fine silk thread. The fish suck
ed in hook, thread and bait, and ail,
and after a desperate fight jumped into
the boat. From that day to the pres
ent pompano fishing is considered the
finest sport on that coast. The pom
pano is undoubtedly the liveliest of all
sea fishes. It has been know n to jump
eighteen feel dear.
Clay’s Infatuation with Poker.
kwcoo Bodset.
Henry’s favorite recreation for many
years was a game of poker, to which
at one time he waa passionately ad
dicted^ not for tbe stakes, but tbe dis
traction and excitement of the game.
Mr. Wlnthorp says that there is a tra
dition that while Clay was visiting
Boston in 1818, and lodging at the oid

street, a servant ran into the parlor in
which he was at the poker table with a
few old gentlemen of tbe olJ school,
and announced that die hotel was on
fire. “Oh there will fie time anougb,
I think,” cried Mr. Clay, “to finish
our game;” and finish it they did be

A similar tradition was cur
rent In Washington at a later period
that while Mr. Clay was speaker he
and his friends had passed a whole
night at cards, and were still going on
with their games when the hour was
close at hand for the opening of the
morning session of Congres*. “Wait

In the morniug the horse aud rider
were missed. A party started In pur
suit, and in twentv-tonr hours had hi*
horse broken down and him corralled.
He saw his game was up anti coolly
awaited the result. The party over
hauled him at early dawn.
“Good loomin' stranger.
••Good mornin’.”
“See anything of a man about yonr

“No. I haven’t.

“Ye*, she’s worth a cool five hun

*ay, mister, 1*11 give you five hundred

He was making a good bluff, and al
though he knew that he was recog
nized, his offer would well pay tor the
broken down horse, anti he hoped that
his money would save hitn. lie coun
ted without nis host.
“That's a straight blind, o* yourn,.

look a little played out as well as the
mare. If you just git down and join

maybe you need stretebiug all over.
He blanched a trifle, but obeyed iu
dogged silence. The pursuers all lis^
mounted, and the spokesman, ap
proaching, threw over his head a
noose, passed the other end of the rope
over the limb of a tree that overshad
owed them, aud called the other mem
bers of the party around him. The
culpret stood erect; not a muscle quiv
ered.
“Now, P*nl, Is everything all right?
Does it fit your neck according to
Hovle?”
“’All right.”
“Have you got anything to say wl»y
this little picuic shouldn’t proceed?”
“Nothing.”
“Have >er got any word to leave to

The stranger raised his eyes from
the ground for the first time aud look
ed his self-appointed Judge anti ex
ecutioner steadily in tiie eyes for a mo

pocket a crumpled letter, spoke with
a slight tremor of voice: “perhaps
you are a better scholar than 1 be. If
you will just read that and lie kind
enough to answer it 1*11 tell you what
to say.”
The executioner bad already passed
the coil of rope to his comrades and
they had drawn it taut. He took the
letter, and as the party stood around
nim ready to run up tiie culprit at the
