John Eaten Cooke.ot Virginia, la writing a novel, tn which one of tho prominent figures will bo General Lewis LltUepaje, a aoldler of fortune In the last century, who wu the friend and chamberlain of King Stanislaos of Poland, and who returned to thla country ud died here, Thla brief outline ia a general rammaryol the ca reer of Major General Charles Leo, ud It te quite likely that he te the aoldler who will figure In the cotcI under tho name ol General Lewis Llttlepage. Le* wu not related to the Ulaitrlooa Virginians of that name. He wu born In Eng land, and, belonging to g good family, secured rapid promotion In tbe British army. He wu stationed in this country ud nerved under Gen eral Braddock. Ha than returned to Engtand and spent some Ume In endeavoring to secure a do- •liable appointment. Falling In this, he traveled on tbe continent, became the blend ot Frederick the Great, and tarred with King Btul. elans of Poland u hte aide do-camp. Shortly before the reroluUon ho again visited America ud wu commissioned major general by the continental congress. Ho fought bravely through tho war, but at Monmouth hte dilatory movements excited the rage ol Washington, who bnistfnto a storm of prolue language when he met the ofiendlng officer. Alter the srar, Washington tried to nuke up with Lee, but the tatter would neither forget nor for. live, even going so tar u to absent hlmseli from bis house ra a day when hte old eommudar had notified him that he would pay him a visit. Another point ol Interest about Lu 1a the fact that he told Thomu Gbdlestrae, oi New Jersey, that ba wu tha author of Junius, and stated ra many facts In proof of the uurtlon that he con vinced Mr. Glrdlestone. Loews* undoubtedly brilliant mu, ud bta military career wu follot •tirring adventure. If hate tho character who la to figure tn Mr. Cooke's novel the story cannot fall to bo Interesting. A raw weaka ago the Grant Monument aisoc!*. tion In New York received a fifty dollar confeder ate note from it resident o! Angaria, Ga. As soon •a tbe fact wu published various earns were of fered for the note. Finally Mr. John Pollman offered to take the note at lta taco value. The oflbr wu accepted. A Niw Ycrx correspondent predicts the col lapse ot Del aasop'a Panama canal aoheme. The original estimates on |tbe coat of the canal wu 9120,000,0C0. From lint to last the amount mb- acrlbad te filll.ST&.oCO. Only about one per cent of tha excavation bu been accomplished. It most ba admitted that these are not flittering flgnrea. Than the attitude of tho United States te by no aeana assured. A resolution wu one* offered in the senate to the effect that the construction of the DeLenepa canal would bo an lnhlngement on tha ltonroe doctrine. President Hayes said in a message, “It te the right and duty of the United Statu to assert and maintain inch supervision and aothqrily over any lnter-oceanlc canal acrouthe Isthmus between North and Bonth America u will protect onr national Interests." The matter may come up again In congreu at any time. Our gov ernment may acrlonaly interfere with the enter prise at an early day. Kansas lawyers uae plain language.

They keep In the shade and spend their time at rammer resorts where they get plenty ot bosh air. The poor remain at home. They work in tho era, live In hot roomr, and cnerrate themselves until they lose their health and die. Than poor people havo more children than the rich, and tho mortality children 1a greater during tho rammer than at any other aeuo: the year. During tho winter tho rich crowd Into overheated and badly-ventilated thoatere. When they coma out they taka cold. They attend bolls and wine parties and lose sloop. They are more exposed In cold weather than the poor. In every, city the undertaker* havo their belt paying custom In the winter.

Tobacco bu occupied a large than of human attention for many centuries. Without consider ing the raxed question ol Its virtues and arils, tha fact remains that tobacco bualwayaproTodapaj- Ing crop In southern localities. Nash county, N. a, did not begin the cultivation ol tbe wood until 18SS, At first tho experiment wu mada on three acre*. Is a year’s time there wars 700 acres under enlttratlon. This year there are between 4,000 and 5,000 acres, and tobacco, yielding:tha Nash county lumen an average of Mt an acre, whereu tha asms land ba ton yielded an avenge ol only 125 an aero when planted in cotton. Other counties In the old North State hart had a similarly profitable exper- lenc* and tha same may be uld ot Kentucky and Tennessee. Neuly mil tha aontharn states are capable ot raising tobacco. Great ranges ot mountain land In the Carolines, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama could b* made to pay well 11 devoted to tobacco. It is worthy ol not* also that tn thatobacoo regions manufacturing towns spring np.eddlng materially to the Industrial wealth ot tba country. Tbe pos- slblUtlu tn thla direction abonld bo worked tor all they are worth.

Tho new system ol rapid transit consists ol n continuous series ot balloons, anchored to tho ground, adjustable u to height, with a wire cable stretched from one to the other. Along tbia cable cara are made to travel by the always reliable motor-gravitation, The courage ous passenger enters tho car from a convenient housetop or elevated station, alter which the anchor rope la paid ont, and the balloon allowed to rire high enough to make the Cable between it and tbe next balloon on Inclined plane, down which the car coasts at great spaed. At tho next balloon station tbe operation te repeated, so that the Una becomes a succeaslon ot Inclined plane*.

I remember to have aeon on Pennsylvania avenue iu the lut year wu Jim Bel- ford, a member ogcongress, atagrorlng np Penn sylvania avenue led by hte aon, a mere boy.

Bixcx James D.Fleh testified against Ward and aided in aending him to tha penitentiary there hu been a growing sympathy for the old man. When he left New York on hte way back to prison tbe putlng with the lady members ot hte temlly wu qnlta affecting. Those who looked on uld It wu a shame to tend a man ot hte sga to the peni tentiary. It te believed by many that attar a year or so Flab’s triend* will taka active steps to secure hit pardon. Iv te believed by many that there will be no more hydrophobia, no more mad dog*. Dr.Lonte Futem'a experiments have been brilliantly tuo- ceufnl. At the academy oi sciences In rArit, Dr. Fastenrmide an experiment on a rabbit. Tho Incubation ol tho poison occupied fifteen days. As soon as tho first rabbit was dead a portion lrom~ Its spinal marrow wu Inoculated Iu to a second and so on until sixty rabbits had been Inoculated. Portions ol Inoculated spinal marrow were placed lnbottlreof dry air. For an operation tho doctor begins by Inoculating hte subject with tho oldest tlsrae end finishes by the Injection ol a placeoi tissue whose bottling dates back only two dogs. Tha subject Is then found to ba absolutely prod agalnat tha dlsaue. Tha Inoculation ot days for several generations will render them Incapable ot hydrophobia. Et. Paul thought it a abameforaman to wear longhair,bnt tbe patriarch d Jeraralem, six hundred yean ago, held it a sign ot manly perfec tion to wear an ample beard with hair flowing down tha shoulders.
