CHEAP DWELLINGS.
It is not often we can turn to Miss Uraddon's novels for ideas on political cconomy or (sanitation, but in a very pretty Christmas story, "Flower and Weed," just concluded in Harper's Bazar, she puts in the mouth of a poor girl rescued from degrading poverty, thw words. "There isn new city wanted in London—a city built for tho poor aud owned by the rich. Toor landlords and poor tenants—that means misery." The problem suggested here will generally bo solved in all countries where the rich who invest in government bonds and consols will receive only 2.75 to 3 per cent. Tho rcmody suggested for tho relief of tenants packed in squalid and crowded tenements or for any who rcceivo the minimum of comfort for the maximum of rent—for usually tho poorest pay tho highest rent in proportion—is that tho rich who are
3 a
cumstances or who orideavors to accumulate fortuno from rentals, does not willingly reduce his income by repairs aid improvements, but the own ers of iuherited fortunes and other millionaires following tho lead of Peabody can transform tho crowded purlieus of the largo cities into abodes whero health and comfort will be the rule, without reducing their incomes a penny. Here in this city hundreds of -eat and comfortable houses could be fillea ^ie builders would accept in the UBtial charges in real ••terest paid on bonds.

Tho January number is the «rst Issue of tho now periodical, The Modern Ago. The preliminary announcements have been more than lived up to, as tho magazine is a handsome specimen of bookmaklng, and, considering tho quality of matter and prioo, is a marvel of cheapness. The charactcr of tho magazine is principally ecloctrlo, but dlfl'ers from the older periodicals of its class In having moro translations, and in tho general run of Its selections Is bottor calculated to please American readers. Tho first nrtlclo is an amusing story eutl tied The Black Poodle, by the author of tho latest English success, "Vice Versa." It will appeal at onco to tho sympathies and risibilities of every ono who has had theownorof a dog as a neighbor or friend. This is followed by an entertaining skotch of a trip into Mexico, and a translation from the Paris Figaro of a pen-picturo of IJe Lesseps, containing some anecdotes new to our public. An articlo, by the late Arclibishp of Canterbury, suggested by Mr. Mo ley's rcceutly published Oxford Romlniscenco. gives tho lamented divine's opinions On the Tracturlau movement.

A LITTLE TALK.
LBy a Womsn,]
"Womnn'B Work,''
This subject is a familiar one i\owa days, and is variously treated act lording to tho sentiment of each particular writer who attempts its discussiovn. For tho most part, howover, it will he found that these essays, on ono of the popular topics of the time«, record some feminine triumph in an unuatial occupation, generally a public one.
This is duo to the efforts of th# femolo 6ufTragists, who spare no pains to keep their peculiar views constantly before the people. But there aro two sides to this, as to most other questions, and for fear that continually looking at the one may grow monotonous, it may not be amiss to reverse tho picture, now and then, and see what wo can find on the other side.
The observations 1 shall make in trying to carry out this plan will, no doubt, ho trite enough to justify the critical in charging me with a want of originality.
But originality is a rare article in this world of ours too rare, I fear, to bo appircd to by an amateur scribbler, since Emerson says of it, "Every book is a quotation, and every house is a quotation out of ali forests and mines and stone quarries, and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors."
Having thus excused myselt in the beginning for tho utterance? of a good many commonplaces, I will 6ay that I owe the present opportunity to express a few—it may be unpopular— ideas to Mrs. Ida A. Harper, who, in last week's issuo of the Mail, a«ks me very emphatically, and just a little sarcastically, "Why I should adviso Migs Susan B. Anthony and Miss Phoebe Cousins to go home and learn to cook, etc., and why I should not also advise Henry Waul Beecher to go home and saw wood and Roscoo Conkling to spade up his garden ow I suppose I might exercise one of my inalienable rights and give what is called the woman's reason, viz: "BECAUSE," and obstinately refuse to give any other reply. And this feminine method of answering question is not, let mo say, as idiotic as it is generally thought to be. When a woman's unerring intuitions teach her a thing, she knows
it, and knows she knows it and yet, In many cases, she is not able, by any process of reasoning, to explain how she came by the knowledge.
Then, I may have offered this advice to the leaders of the "woman'srighta movement as a conciliatory measure, as it were. Thev have met with great opposition of fate. What if they abandoned the offensive, defiant attitude it is their pleasure to assume on all,occasions ceased referring to men as brutes, tyrants, and the~hatural enemies of our sex and, instead of attack, tried tact?
Or, thirdly, I might answer by asserting my'American independence, quote "this iiafrec country," and hint that since there

It is useless or silly because it is not either the easist, or pleasantest, or quickest, way to bring about the desired result.
It is unscientific because based upon the theory that nature made one of the sexes—the male sex of course—inferior to the other which would have been a great blunder on the part of our common Mother. But the scientists of the age, who have spent their lives in studying the methods of this grand old Damo, and always with increasing wonder and admiration, will be slow to charge her with such faulty work as this would be.
It is unphilosophic because it is in direct opposition to every rational conception of the divine "fitness of things."
The word "ungrateful" should apply particularly to the American advocates of "woman's-rights," so called. For it is a conceded fact that there is no country on tho earth where women are so free to come and go unattended to follow their own inclinations in regard to occupation, and have so many facilities afforded them to fit themselves for any kind of work they choose to do where they are so safe and well protecte so sure of help if help be needed and, in any case, so positively sure of chivalric attention from all classes of men, and where they are held in such high respect by' allj as in this beloved and Hcav'on-favored land of ours. And though it may lie truly answered that th«y have these great privileges becau.se they deserve them, merit alone cannot account for this state of things, orelse the noble women of England and Germany would be equally as bleKsed, which is not the case.
No, it cannot be denied that the American gentleman—God bless him— whether ho belongs to the wealthy and cultured classes," or be found among nature's nobleman," those who have been deprived of the advantages which lead to social position and financial success—for in this country where all are ambitious it is after all only a question of opportunity—Tho American gentleman, I sav, embodies all that has been and is truest, and hiirltr

i- „„,i -t-. cince world began. It is impolitic, because the consent of mon i'i the only thing that is necessary to make female-suffrage an accomplished fact but an attitude of hostility, nnd a continual reference to men as despots and women as slaves, is the surest way 'to keep men from giving the measure* their approval.
It is unpatriotic because, in thus arraying the sexes against wacli other, instead of encouraging a united and har-
titled "The Old English Heamon," show- .^"^ns family Jfe as God intended. it strikes at the very foundations of the government which rests upon the firm support of its sacred Christian homos and which will be stroug and enduring, or weak and finally subverted, according as our family life is pure, and truo, and lasting, or corrupt, and loose, and unreliable. And lastly, it is unwomanly, becatiso such a woman who takes such a course goes contrary to the voice of her God-given instincts and intuitions, and thus does violence to tho highest part of hor nature.

No doubt the day will come when the right of suffrage will bo enjoyed by all American citizens without" regard to r.ace, color or sex but, if with this privilege, comes its obligations, such as. to sit on juries, attend political conventions, attend caucuses and run f.or and be elected to political officer, then I pray that the day may be distant when this much-coveted £lght shall bo conferred on women
Miss Anthony and Miss Cousins are both mc*t excellent and estimable women, against whom nothing can be said except that they aro greatly mistaken in their methods. And such a career as that of either may do well enough as an exceptional one. But when it comes to bo-held up as the ideal lifo for women, tho one to be sought after, and for which a auiet, domestic lifo is to begladlv and willingly given up when matrimony and motherhood are sneered at, as I have heard them sueered at before young girls, as fit only for women of "n loworder of intelligence, I must enter an earnest protest. am in favor of the highest possible culture for women, the broattest and most liberal education that can be provided for her but I want these for_ womanly occupations, than which none are more important or honorable. I want them especially for the homes and hearthstones of our land where the mother reigns queen, one whose crown is composed of the pure gold of womanly wisdom, cet about with the imperishable gems of truth and who?e scepter is love—that far-seeing, all-compre-hend, self-sacrificing love, whether mother love, wife love, or sister love, which Emerson must havohad in his mind when he said, "There is a power in love to divine another's destinv better than that other can, and by heroic encouragemraits hold him to his task."
This article is already much too long, but I must not be so rude as to neglect the gentlemen. My critic asks, "Why should yon not advise Henry Ward Beecher to co home and saw wood,or Rosc-oe Conkling to spado up his garden My dear Mrs. Harper, I think it would be an excellent thing for them to do. To engage in manual labor, such as employs that great and noble army of workers who are the stay and support of this and a go*
And all must admit that cutting wood forusefnl purposes, and breaking up the soil for the reception of good seed, is either one, far the more honorable as an employment than breaking up families and homes, at which work both Henry Ward Beecher and Roscoe Conkling have proved themaelvw adepts.

"FBOM HIS ATTIC
The Langtry-Labouclioro Quarrel. The facts In the recent LangtryLabouchcre quarrel have never been fairly presented to the public. In truth, so little has been said on the subject we, deem it our duty to give a general synopsis of the event. The choice Billingsgate used on this occasion is lost to us, we are sorry to say, still we can resort to our imaginations for an idea of the true unadulterated inwardness of English repartee. No doubt it is beBt we should, considering all the circumstances.
It will never be known which of theso ladies struck first The most popular supposition is, that Mrs. Labouchere expatiated upon the conduct of Lil Langtrv in such a manner as to rouse the Jersey beauty's wrath. Warmth and sarcasm characterized LU's defense. She accused Mrs. Labouchere of being jealous of Fre.ddv Gebhardt, and alluded to her as an old "Pigeon." Mrs. Labouchere's retort was framed in such cutting fishmarket eloquence that blows soon followed
A profuse distribution of hair sucseeded the blows. Shoes and slippers floated in the air and Tell to the floor, shaking the house from attic to basemei.t. Window glass rained down on the street below. One of Mrs.'Labouchere's arctics alighted on Broadway rand for two hours or more street-car trallic was impeded. A derrick, however, at last removed the obstruction.
Tho terrific encounter was unexpectedly brought to a close. Mrs. Langtry's teeth" fell out. In justice to Mrs. Labouchere we state that she scorned to take advantage of thi incident when she perceived her rival's power of distinct articulation destroyed. The engagement ended and they* separated, thereby declaring the tight a draw. Mrs. Langtry, accompanied by Freddy, went to Boston. Sirs. Labouchere gathered up the loose hair, together with her wearing apparel, and started for home.
We are much indebted to England for permitting this tournament to be fought on American ground. We may never be able to reciprocate, still if "a good old knock-down, bull-dozing entertainment in the male line would in any way augment the pleasure of the English we will ship over our suspended chief of the fire department and never kicSTatthc sacrifice, either.

Tho Lnngtry Scandal—Some Plnln Btntomonts—young Jacknssos—Oscar AVildo —Col. Bob Ingersoll's Enormous Itecoljsts—Paying Ulasphemy—Truth mid the Morning Journal—Ketiromont of
IMitoi- Post—Johu Stetson's Latest. Special Correspondence of the Express. NF.\V YORK, Dec. 12.—The LangtryLnbouchere estrangement, and all its attendant gossip, scandal and nastiness have filled tho columns of the daily press ad nausenm, and furnished some sensational preachers additional frel with which to make it hot for the theatrical profession. Now, if they would only level their shafts of denunciations against those young men whom nature provided with rich fathers, but neglected to furuish with long ears, they would do the world a benefit. It is they that furnish the scandals with their silly desire of aping rich foreign libertines, tbehoight of whoso ambition is to get themselves talked about in connection with some woman wipose name happens to bo the talk of the town. The scenes and characters described by Zola are bad enough to read about as having occurred in other lands. Let us not have them enacted before us in reality in this country, and that too by striplings who are uot men enough to play at vice.
I am not in a position to say much about Langtry from personal "knowledge, but none the less I am convinced that not one half of the vile statements and viler insinuations concerning her are founded on facts. I have this on the statements of people who know what they speak of. She has been indiecret, she has been guilty of follies which a woman like Mary Anderson, Maggie Mitchell or Lottie, would not have been reproached with mais, qve roulez-vous?
She is more of a
natural Bohemian than they are, she has been brought up in a different atmosphere, she has had two seasons of London "society," which according to the admissions of the better members of it, is as corrupt as French society was in Napoleon's days. And, after all, her greatest crime is that she has been intimate with a set of brazen donkeys instead of associating with people of consequence. Fortunately for herself she has thus far been able to keep silent to the reporters of Boston regarding her troubles, but heaven help her when she gets to Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis. Th the reporters prowl about like highwaymen. "Stand and deliver,'" is tneir motto, and should she fail to talk to them, they will make it hot for her, besides printing interviews wltu her any way.

As a member of the Century club, a literary man of note put it, if he stays here another six months he will have to do police court reporting for a living. Still Oscar is not so badly off. He has posed before the American public to the tune of some sixty thousand dollars, and he can afford to look on for awhile while the public recovers from its disgust of having been drawn bv the nose bv a man like Wilde.

nected with him in a business way that since the twelfth of October last, he made no. less than $50,000 by his lectures, In a great many states there are old laws on the statute books visiting blasphemy with heavy fines. Blasphemy fills Col. Ingei-soll's pockets, and enables liim to follow his epicurean tastes in the matter of eating and drinking to his heart's content. All of which goes to prove that what is sauce for the goose is not always sauce for the gander.
The new penny morning paper, the Morning Journal, is crowding the other .penny daily, Truth, very,hard, despite the fact that to the professional eye at least, it is conducted in a very amateurist way. This drop in its circulation is as much the fault of Truth itself as of any other cause. It has woefully fallen off a3 a newspaper. Its news is extremely limited and badly edited.
Its editorial pago was what kept it thus, far, but this too js weakening. The paper haa just lost its editor, Mr. Louis F. Post, one of the keenest and brightest editorial writers in the country, and as clever and learned a lawyer as he is conscientious and earnest as a man. An ardent advocate of anti-tno-nopoly and the workingman, he resigned his connection with the paper because the policy of its owners grew too vascilating. In these davs of doing anything and everything for money, such conduct is so rare as to be sneered at as Quixotical by tho so-called practical world.
As I have given you so much personal gossip, let me add another bit, which has caused a great deal of amusement among the theatrical fraternity. Everybody knows- John Stttsonthe genial and astute manager of Booth's and the Fourteenth street theaters. Unfortunately ho has acquired the reputation of being a sort of male Mrs. Malaprop, and thus the actors are constantly circulating 6on
There is an arm back of the diaphragm and against which the sounds aro thrown. A thumb-screw enables the arm to be pressed down upon a carbon button which comes in contact with the diaphragm or to be loosened at will. Usually the diaphragm is adjusted to suit the voice of the inspector, who is accustomed to talking through the telephone, and thus is made to serve the purpose of every one. The telephone is a delicate instrument, and when put up for private use is generally adjusted to the voice of the person "using it. If a person's voice is thin and piping the diphragm is left loose, so to speak. The sound waves are light, and if the diaphragm were held tightly they would not more it sufficiently"to produce the electrical movement. On the other hand, if heavy "chest tones are to be thrown into the transmitter, the arm must be screwed up somewhat tightlv, otherwise the diaphragm would be made to jingle in its place by the violence of the sounds. It would send out oyer the line confused noises, and the person speaking would not be able to convey his words or their meaning. Naturally enough, an American, as a rule, is' more easily understood, at least through the telephone here, than a foreigner who has acquired the English tongue to a greater or less degree. In the first place, his pronunciation is more familiar. But this is not all. His syllables and sentences are clearer, and he takes more naturally, seemingly, to the telephone. The German, ordinarily sluggish and giitteral in speech, rouses to action" when his mouth is before the transmitter. He talks as if he were talking against time, and pitches his voicc in the key of C. fnis is a peculiar fact noted by the telephone operators. The German makes bad work of it, but when he!
leaves the telephone he resumes his

have been uttered by him. The latest is this: he was speaking to a number of friends at the bar of the Monitor House, when conversation turned on a theatrical manager who was constantly slipping up because he was not quick at snapping at good things. '"Always the case, said Stetson dogmatically. "Once a man gets on the suspender bridge of hesitation, there is but one step to the abscess (abyss) of failure."
THROUGH THE TELEPHONE.
Things Hint rcople who Use tlio Inslru xnent Say and Do. New York Times.
When a man speaks into the telephone for the first time he acts as if his very life depended on the efibrt. He glues his mouth over the orifice in the transmitter and hearing the calculation from the other end of the line shuts his eyes and yells at the top of his hinge, "Do you "hear me?" The sound waves cannot escape, as overy part of the hole is covered, and they are violent enough to make his teeth rattle. Of course the person with whom he is endeavoring to talk cannot make out a word he says. It is all jargon. If thero is no one to tell him better tho man will redouble his efforts to make himself heard. He will yell until he is black in the face and hoarse as a fog-horn and finally con sign the telephone to the equatorial hereafter an a dismal failure and a bme imposition on a confiding public. Most people seem to think that because they may be talking at a distance they must shout to render their tones intelligible. When talking through the telephone, the couversttion should be carried on in the ordi-. nary tone of voice. Not only this, but the person speaking should stand not les3 than three and not more than eight inches from the transmitter. When one/covers up the transmitter oVrl -4.*-^ bull, the words at the point where they are received are simply amass of sounds with no meaning. To speak too low would be an error, but- it is one of which no one is guilty. Another thing, people appear to be in a great hurry when talking into a telephone. The words run out as though issuing frohra talking-machine, the crank of which is turned by a menial whose pay depends on the number of revolutions. The way to speak into a telephone is to talk deliberately, but not slowly to an unnecessary degree, and to atticulate clearly every word. It is just as etlsy to employ good plain English, which everybody can use, as it- is to adopt mannerisms and inflections in speech. The telephone must be adjusted to tho voice. As voices pitched at ail keys are poured into the transmitter, the only thing that can be done in ordinary cases is to endeavor to strike a happy medium.
wonted calmness and deliberate ways. .... The greatest trouble with the French
and Spanish is the rapidity with which they talk. While their pronunciation may be no more corrcct than the German's, it is usually more distinct. Dialects are quite difficult- thoroughly to comprehend. The facial expression and explanatory movements cannot be seen, and ou'v the plain words fall upon the ear, wsth nothing in the range of the vision to complete the explanation. The Irishman's brogue is S' rounded off that it comes over the wir--' sharply and plainly. The negro is hard to understand "on account of his long-drawn syllables and peculiar pronunciation.
A Drove of Possums.
Charlotte Observer. Mr. E. T. McCord, of Possum Walk, this county, left last Thauksgiving day for the mountains to collect a drove of possums, and information received from him yesterday indicates that he has been eminently successful. He arrived at Davidson College about 10 o'clock yesterday morning with 123 possums, which he drove along the road os if thev were so many hogs. He camped at" Davidson College last night, securing his drove by means of poles, having ten possums to the pole. He keeps three dogs barking all night, and these keep the possums so frightened that they hold a firm grip to the poles with their tales and never think
THE MILftV WAY.
Evening has come, and across the skies, Out through the darkness that quivering dies.
Beautiful, broad and white, Fashioned of matay a sliver ray it Stolen out of the ruins of Chy, Grows the pale bridge of the Miller War,
Built by the architect Iflght. _...
Is It a pathway leading to heaven Over earth's sin-clouds rent and riven With its supernal light. Crossed by tho souls of those who have flown Stilly away from our arms, and alone Up to the beautiful grent white throne
Pass In the hush of night?
Is It therond thntour wild dreams walk, Far beyond reach of onr waking talk, Out of the vagoo and grand, Far beyond fancy's broadest range. Out to the world of marvel and change, Out to the mystic, unreal and strange,
Out to the wonderland? What may It bo? Who mny ccrtalnlv say? Over the shadowy Milky Way
No liutpan foot ha6 trod. •Ages linVe jJasscd, but, unsullied nnd white, Still It stands, like a fair rainbow of night, Held as a promise above our dark sight,
Guiding our thoughts to God. MK.
THE ANCHOR.
[William plbson, in Harper's Magazine for January.]
As, within the zone of of somo Indian
many a time, palms,
In beauteous haven land, Tho voyager beholds, at noontide calms.
His anchor biting in the golden sand, 'Mid stony arborescence submarine. Weeds, cowries, and the r.ire pearl-oysters 6een Distinctly through Iho waters crystalline,
So mny wo—looking in our minds, rife branch-work thought
With branch-work of the evcr-bulldlng With suit weeds, and scattered things that life,
Or worthless shells or pearls of price, hath wrought— Perceive, when turbid passions have no breath, When God's high Bunlight nothing shadowetli Hope's anchor-hold on golden grounds of faith!
AX AMERICNN BEAUTV.
Why thn Princess of Wales Snnbbed the Daughter of a Cleveland Arlstocrnt. Lodon Letter.
His Royal Highness tho Frince of Wales always has to busy himself by making some lady famous by his attentions, and his last favorite seems to have bfen a young American lady. It is whispered in serene attitudes of the best society and it is muttered in the next stratum that—my pen tre-r-embles at the thought—Miss Chamberlaine has been very nearly 'cut' by the Princess of AVales. Her Royal Highness was very cordial the other day to every lady present, shaking hands with all of them, but merely returning Miss Chamberlaine's salute in th stiffest manner. The princess is not only a pretty and good but extremely sensible woman, and knowing the pi ince to be a confirmed male flirt, smiles gently at the toquades to which he is affectcd. When he constituted himself the cavalier, first of Mrs. Langtry and then Mrs. Cornwallis West, his wife has extremely kind to those ladies, who knew perfectly well how to keep the heir apparent in his place, and thus maintain their own. As I was not at Hamburg when the prince was there I cannot repeat the untrustworthy chatter I heard about Miss Chamberlaine and the prince. No actual impropriety is suirgested, but it seems that they appeared together in public too often to please a censorious world, and behaved with a freedom pronounced quite unprecedented. The worst of all waB the indiscretion of a certain illustrated newspaper, in which appeared a full page wood cut of the prince and Miss Chamberlaine looking at the fireworks at Hamburg. This work of art was, I hear, sho^n to the
woufif^H?,'"Annoyed that Tier husband flirtations should be made public and give the impression that- she is a slighted wife. Any hope that Miss Chamberlaine's friends may have entertained of seeing her run as a fashionable beauty next season are now at an end, notwithstanding her "gypsyface and angel's hair."
THE GOOD OLD TIMES.
A Record of Some of tfco Cold Days Experienced by Our Ancestors. Scientific American.
The following statistics of the good old winters are curious: In 1408 the Black Sea was frozen over. In 761, not only the Black Sea, but the straits of the Dardenelles were frozen over the snow in some places rose fifty feet high. In 822 the great rivers of Europe—the Danube and Elbe, etc—were so hard frozen as to bear aeavy wagons for a montli. In 860 thj Adriatic was frozen. In 991 everything was frozen the crop totally failed and famine and pestilence closed tho year. In 1067 most of the travellers were frozen to death on the roads. In 1133 the To was frozen from Cremona to the sea the wine casks were burst and even the trees split by the action of the frost with immense noise.
In 1230 the Danube was frozen to the bottom and remained long in that state. In 1816 the crops wholly failed in Germany wheat, which some years before sold in England at 63. the quarter, rose to £2. In 1329 the crops failed in Scotland and such a famine ensued that the poor were reduced to feed 011 grass, and many perished miserably in the fields. Tne successive winters of 1-J32-33-34 were uncommonly severe-. It once snowed forty days without interruption. In 1468 the wine distributed to the soldiers in England was cut with hatchets.
In 1648 the winter was excessively cold. Most of the hollies were killed. Coaches drove along the Thames, the ice of which was eleven inches thick. In 1709 occurred the cold winter. The frost penetrated three yards into the ground. In 1715 booths were erected and fairs held on the Thames. In 1744 and 1745 the strongest ale in England, exposed to the air, was covered in less than 15 minutes with ice an eighth of an inch thick. In 1809, and again in 1812, the winters were remarkable cold. In 1814 there was a fair on the frozen Thames.
Plutocratic Politics.

managers control "regular" action so that they can nominate any caudidate whom they may select—they look more and more for a rich candidate. In a congressional district, for instance,they select some person who has no qualification whatever for a seat in congress, but who is rich, and will pay great sums into the party treasury. Some man is selected who has made a lucky speculation, who has grown rich by a popular tooth-wash, or axle grease, or a patent for bellows-mend-ing, and who is both flattered by the offer of the nomination and eager to draw checks for thousands of dollars— in one instance as much as sixty thousand dollars. This is the man who is sent to help make the laws.
It is undeniable that the inventors and proprietors of tooth-washes and axle grease and improvements in bel-lows-mending may be among the best
of men and the most patriotic of citizens. But however saintly and patriotic a blacksmith may be, those qualities do not fit him to adjust the springs of watches, or ty polish the lenses of telcscopes. Besides, the selection ot rich men is made, not because they are honest and patriotic, but because they are rich. "The machine" would not think of them as candidates except for their money, and because of their willingness to give their money liberally.
The transaction is a trade. The seat in congress is sold to the high bidder. If the Roman emperor made his horse a consul, the "machine" makes any ignorant quack who has amassed riches in any business, and is willing to pay, a membef of congress.
RAILROAD EVENTS.
News all Altmg the Skirmish Line, and by AssociatedPress. gg^i
The Panhandle is employing colored braliamen. Yandalia passenger engine 45 is out of the shops.
Edward Sasseen has resigned as fireman of Yandalia engine 46. Engineer Robert Ebbave, of the Yandalia, has been ill for about six weeks.
H. L. Bushnell is quietly resting frorti the labors of the weekj at home, in the pretty little city of Hoopeston.
The Yandalia pile-driver has finished its work at Cartersburg, the crew'starting for the main line on the through freight.
General Manager Thomas, of the I. & St. L., passed through the city vesterday, going from St. Louis to"Indianapolis.
On Friday the car movement of the Yandalia was 893 loads and 400 empties. Handled in the yards here, 486 loads and 152 empties.
The shipment of coal from the Brazil district to Indianapolis is verv large. Night before last Vandalia "No. 20 moved in five sections.
A gang of bridge men from Toledo are engaged in removing the new bridge at the Quaker ford, over Ilonev creek, in Farrington township, to "a point about 200 feet west of the present location. This is tho bridge left unfinished, and was badly injured by the high water last year.
W. II. Barnhart, Yandalia train dispatcher for the Logansport division, has for several weelw been complaining that the well-in his yard was dry. He made a very important discovery yesterday—the well rope 011 the windlass is too short, and the bucket doesn't reach the water by several feet. It was not the well that was dry, but the bucket.
Mr. Gould is hard up, to use a crude expression, for engines to move the freight accumulated upon his various lines. Sometime ago the & St. L. received a number of engines from the Nickel-Plate, since which 110 more have arrived for it from that road, owing to a demand for engines on the New York Central, which is being partly supplied bv the Nickel-Plate. The latter road must be unusually well equipped in this respect.
There are between seventy-five and 100 carloads of coal at Brazil,"Harmony and Knightsville, for Chicago, which the Yandalia refuses to transfer to Greencastle Junction until the rates difficulty between the C. & E. I. and the L., N. A. & C. is settled, and ratecutting abandoned. It is thought the matter will be soon satisfactorily adjusted. It is all that at- present stands in the way of an immense coal movement from the points mentioned, to Chicago.
IJat?i on Fast Time,
A. L. Ixotcli, Massachusetts institute of Technology, in a communication, says: Data obtained a few years ago show the express from Paris to Bordeaux, 358 miles, in nine hours and ten minntes (over thirty-nine miles per hour) to be the fastest train in France, and the express train from Berlin to Hanover, loSJ miles, in three hours and forty-eight minutes (over for-ty-one miles per hour) to be the fasteast train in Germany. These speeds are hardly equalled in America by any trains running the same distance. From London to Liverpool is not from 225 to 250 miles, as you suppose but it is only 202 miles, via tho London nml Northwestern railway, and the fastest tiains take five hours, a little faster than the fastest trains between New York and Boston. The quickest time between the last two cities is made by the Springfield trains running north, which made the run of 234 miles in six hours and three minutes, or at th0 rate of nearly thirty-nine miles per hour. The corresponding train south requires six hours and twelve minutes, taking into account the difference of time between the two cities. Allowing for this, I find the Shore Line requires six hours and seven minutes to mak« its run of 229 miles from Boston to Ntw York. -'"he distance from Jersey Citv to Washington via tne Pennsylvania Railroad is nearer 226 than 244 miles, as given. I would also take exception to your statement that the fastest American speeds given (47$ miles per hour, Jersey City to Philadelphia) for a run of fifty or 100 miles, is not exceeded in England. The "Flying Dutchman" on the Great Western railway- runs from London to Swindon 77\ miles, in one hour and twentysevon minutes, or 53.3 miles an hour. This train used to be the fastest train in the world, but the speed is fully equaled by some of the Leeds expresses on the Great Northern, which run 7lJ miles in one hour and seventeen minutes without stoppage, or at the rate of 54.7 miles an hour.
