tiug a new set of teeth. Wm. H. Clark, a colored student, toot the prize at the inter-collegiate contest in Ohio, for the best essay. It is said none of the “blue coat boys” who go all over London without hat or cap in all weathers had even a touch of the grip. ; Meddybemps, Me., is proud of a six-year-old child, who has just performed the feat .of spelling 400 words on a stretch without missing Since Mayor Grant began his warfare on overhead wires in ISTew York city more than 2500 poles and 14,500,000 feet of wire have come down. Dr. Know, the German physician who discovered antipyrine, is said to have more than a million dollars from the sales of the drug to suf ferers from the grip. An engine on the East Tennessee and Yirginia road is regarded with superstitious dread by the railroad men. It has killed twenty-seven people during its career. A cat in Santa Craz, Cal., has become so expert in climbing up the door and raising the latch to get in that the carrying of a big rat does not now interfere with her performing the feat. Lemuel Case, of Ironton, Wis., is said to be unable to drink a cup ful of almost any liquid without having to effervesce from his mouth as though he were an ani mated mineral water siphon bottle. A one-legged colored man in Egbert County, Ga., has produced the first bale of cotton every season in that county for several years. He is prosperous, and is accumu lating a handsome independence. The largest forest in the world stands on ice. It is situated in the Ural and Okhotsh Seas. A well was recently dug in this region, when it was found that at a depth of 380 feet the ground was still frozen Bridgton, Me., has at least one absent-minded citizen. He met with an accident and was confined to the house for several weeks, but forgot entirely that he held an acci dent policy entitling him to §25 a week. The sudden appearance of a mouse on the floor of the British House of Commons upset the dig nity of the eminent gentlemen near it and led to a little panic that made it necessary to drop business for awhile. Iron is rolled so thin at the Pitts burg Iron Works that 12,000 sheets are required to make a single inch in thickness. Light shines through one of these sheets as readily as it does through greased tissue paper. It is not often the case that a man passes his whole life in the home in which he was born, but such was the experience of Samuel Banley, a kiahly respected citizen of Porter’s Corners, N. Y., who died recently aged ninety-one years. Colorado Springs, March 26.— The Pike’s Peak cog railway, one of the most marvelous engineering feats of the world, is almost com pleted. About two years ago the first real effort was made to sup plant the burro train, and drive at Austin., and the meeting was not the iron horse to the summit of in a saloon, a gambling house, nor. the grim “sentinal of the Rockies.” even a hotel. The place was a. A company of local capitalists was quiet, orderly ice-cream parlor, and' organized and the work of grading Ben Thompson and his wife were-commenced. Unfortunately, capi- eating strawberry cream at a table t a l was lacking, and after grading near by to a coterie of high-school girls, one of them being a daugh ter of ex-Gov. Ireland of Texas. Thompson was a small sized man, yet hot slender. He was elegantly, yet not showily dressed; his clothes indicated a correct taste, a diamond stud and a thread of gold watch- chain comprising all his personal jewelry. He was a handsome man of-45, with small black mustache and hazel eyes. Yet this man had a record of having killed thirteen white men and twice that number of Mexicans and Indians. .A few months later he was himself killed in San An tonio, along with Kingfisher, in a hand-to-hand conflict with two other men in the Vaudeville thea ter. He was never.known to take an unfair advantage of an enemy, number of his victims having had the first shot at him. Once in store he ordered a man with whom he was engaged in a lively dispute to go outside and pass around the block to the right; he would pass around to the left, and meet him They did so; the man blazed away at Thompson with a shotgun loaded with buckshot, missed, went into the air at the crack of Ben’s re volver, and fell a corpse. And thus with every case Thompson’s numerous killings the preliminaries were always flavored with a dash of dramatic sensation alism, As Thompson and his wife passed out of the ice cream bazar I noticed that she had but one arm. The other had been shattered by a Win chester ball in Denver, when she threw it across Ben’s head upon discovering a crouching form draw ing a bed on him. At the. time of his death Thompson was city mar shal of Austin, of A story is told by the Boston Advertiser of a gentleman who is now and has been for some years past engaged in rearing an elegant mansion of stone a dozen miles or so out of Boston. Much care has been taken and no expense spared in its'erection. The other day he went out to see ’ how the work was progressing, and visited the library. It is a noble room and had been surrounded by elegant bookcases of carved oak in elaborate design. The owner gave one glance about the spacious and beautiful apart ment and then exclaimed to the contractor: “What made you build the bookcases so high? Cut them down two feet and put cupboards underneath. Do you think I am ing to buy books for all those Ives?” Gen. Sickles, who has just ac cepted the office of Sheriff of New York, is devoted to the opera and the theatres. He seldom misses performance of the German opera, and comes in promptly as the cur tain rises to his seat in the orches tra. During the summer months he is frequently to be seen at the Terrace Garden enjoying the com ic operas of Strauss, Offenbach and others. “I also saw,” says writer in the New York Star, “Gen. Sickles at the opening night at Daly’s, seated alongside of Gen, Sherman, Gen. Horace Porter and Cornelius Vanderbilt, and on the last night of Mansfield’s ‘Richard HI.’ he was ‘left’ with the rest of us as to what the tent and ghost scene was all about. Notwith standing his years and the loss of his leg, which he left in the peach orchard at Gettysburg, where he had the Third corps,. Gen. Sickles is still a very, very young old man.” Professor Haddon, of Dublin declares that a species of fish of Torres Straits breathes largely through its tail-fin. Though liv ing much out of water, it was not affected by prolonged submersion, but soon died when its tail had been varnished. A SOUSO LEGAL OPINION. The results of the municipal elec tions m Ohio cities do not indicate that the Democrats have injured their party by correcting the out rageous Republican gerrymander of the. congressional districts of that state.

But this failure of local enter prise only stimulated and called out the .true Western vim and en ergy. The bnrro train was too slow for this fast-going age, and the people were determined that the smoke of the locomotive should yet be seen from the terminus of the highest railroad in the world. The result was that last summer witnessed the ’organization of a company of capitalists with almost unlimited means. A charter was obtained and a corps of engineers set at work to locate the line. The contract was let to Messrs. Lantry & Sons and the work of grading commenced. From that time to date of writ ing, all day long and of moonlight nights, it has been one continuous boom, boom and roar, resembling a battery of heavy artillery dis tinctly twenty miles away. Giant powder and dynamite have done their work, and mountains of rock have been hurled from where they had rested since placed there the Architect of the Univere. Instead of following the old sur vey and profiting by the work al ready done, the new road starts from the Ute Iron Spring, a short distance west of the principal ave nue in the famous pleasure resort of Manitou Springs. Thence takes its course up Rnxton creek, closely following the burror trail, past the Minnehaha falls, through scenery which would require an in spired pen to faithfully portray. Four miles west of Maniton is the “Half-way-House,” where a station will be located. Leaving the Half way-House the road winds through the canons, through magnificent park of pine and hem lock, climbing up, always up, skirt ing the eastern base of the monn tain, bearingjsouthwesterly, around “Windy Point” on the so.uth, mak ings its final rise and reaching the summit of Pike’s Peak from the west. Here,’up amid the eternal snows a station house and hotel will be built, 14,336 feet above the sea level. From the eastern terminus at Manitou to the western termin us on the summit, a distance of nine miles, the difference in alti tude is about 8,336 feet, or an av erage of 926 feet per mile in the grade of the road. The engine and ears are now being built ex pressly for this road, the engine being so constructed as to run over a line of cogs in the center of the tract, the engine preceding the cars going up and following them coming down. A company has al ready been organized to build an elevated railway through Manitou. to connect the Denver and Rio Grande and the Pike’s Peak rail way depots, and this line will ’ be ready for business by the time the cog railway is completed.
