It was at a dinner party, when the guests were talking of the ex change cf genius between England and America. For every actor, ringer, lecturer, or person of note sent here by England the United State made a return. There was Booth for Irunp, Mary Anderson for Ellen Terry, Patti for kelson, as really Patti belonged to us first; Joe Jefleron for Sothern, and so on. Alma Tadema said, "England is one ahead of the United States. We sent Osear Wilde over there but she had no fool to send back." Modern Dress Vulgarizing. Exchange. Could one of the old Greek sculptors be transported into a modern drawing room he would surely wonder less that we have no better . art than that we should have any at all. For the truth stares every thoughtful person in the face. We are daily doine more aud more to travesty the human form and set at naught those very principles of harmony inculcated by various scthetic teachers with so much vehemence. The modern dreis of both sexes by no means accords with the simplest laws of beauty.hygiene and economic science. And take it for all and all, perhaps the di?ss of a lady was seldom more inartistic, unhealthy and extravagant than at present, and surely never more vulgarizing. The Super's Princely Stipend. Chicago Tribune. Taken at its best the lot of a theatrical "super" is not a particularly desirable onejnoris that of the "captain" to be regarded in a much more enviable light. Some shows require as many aa a hundred supers. These men and boys are engaged by a man who is known as the captain of the supers, for which service and title he receives no remuneration from either the theater or the managers of the show. He engages his supers and is allowed for each twenty-five cents per night, and of this he pays out twenty cents to such as need the money, but there are many youths whose mens do not require them to collect this handsome diurnal stipend. DISTINCTIVELY AMERICAN. Gilbert A. Pierce, in The Current. Scargill declared that an Englishman is never happy but when he is miserable; a Scotchman is never at home but when he is abroad ; and an Irishman is at peace only when he is fighting. In a similar way we may say that an American is never at rest except when be is at work. To drop paradoxes, the busy man in our country is the happy man, and never so happy as when he is busiest. I remember reading somewhere that in Persia, I believe it is, when one sets out to buy a rug or a piece of tapestry on which he has set his heart, he is expected to spend a fortnight at least in the purchase. At the first visit he simply saun ters in, exchanges salutions with the shopkeeper, casts a careless glance over the shop and departs. The next time he looks at a rug curiously, but with no show of interest in the article as a wouldbe purchaser. The third time he examines the article on which he is intent, and the fourth time inquires the price, which is fixed by the shopkeeper at about ten times its real value. At the succeeding visit the price is reduced a trifle, and so on until a fair figure is reached, and the trade is consummated. There are many countries on the globe where euch dallying would be regarded as a waste of time both by the seller and the buyer, but it is in America where the transaction would be most ridiculed, and where anything approaching such haggling would be denominated the veriest tomfoolery. The Ameiican type is not fixed, it is in the formative stage, but so far as it has got it may be denominated a type of frankness, of promptness, and of independence. The genuine American is not a sycophant. He is not a hypocrite. He is not afraid of "Americanisms," or ashamed of American customs and American manners. He does not ape social forms solely because they are foreign forms. He is not afraid of being singular because he is natural. He rather glories in the fact that the American way is distinctive, and nut a mer imitation of older customs, and, finally, he believes in a free ballot and a . fair count. - I read an article not long since from tha pen of an eminent philologist who labored through seven pages of a magatics to prove that an expression- which had been denounced as an Americanism in England was right and allowable, becu:3 it was an old English term in use by standard authors in the, last century.

"Here's a man who, like Silas Wegg, has 'all print open to him,' and who is equal to 'collaring and throwing' the ablest dabbler in words on the continent of Europe." But after all, there was a eense of humiliation that so capable a man should think it a matter of uch vast moment to convince European critics that we had not used a very appropriate term without the example and sanction of their bltssed old ancestors; that we never moved without their authority, or allowed the growth and spread of a term original with and belonging exclusively to ourselves. This is not the independence of the genuine American. The sturdy, progressive, independent American, to whom the country must look for its growth and its grandeur, is not ashamed of his origin, however humble. And the fact i9, this sturdy, this independent, this progressive type is found in and is to be preserved and perpetuated to a great extent by the men of the west, aided in. certain ways by the south.' I am not very partial to southern manners and customs, but there is one trait about our brethren down there which can be mott heartily admired. There manners are their own. Whatever there is about them that is admirable is of their own production, and has not been imported. Moreover, they are not ashamed to carry their manners, their pronuncintion, and their dress into the mot pretentious circles. They do not assume to be Englishmen or Scotchmen or Frenchmen residing merely in America, but Americans, saus puer and, as near as falls, to the lot of ordinary mortals, sans reproche. And this very assumption or quiet confidence in themselves half gives them the battle. The eastern cities are permeated with tbe English idea. It has invaded society, influences dress, and affects speech. The drawl of English affectation salutes one's ears from the lips of men high in public station. But you hear it not in the west, and there, except as a traveling curiosity, you hall not find it. Is it because culture has not yet buiSt its palaces there? Perhaps I And yet away out in the wilds of western Dakota I counted the other day in a miscellaneous party of twenty ladies and gentlemen, four graduates of Yale, two from Cornell, one from Princeton, one from .Vassar, one from Ann Arbor, two from West Point, and one from the University of Chicago. Education, therefore, if not culture, has reached even tbe plains of the far west. But what is better still, the American idea has not only reached there, but finds itself indigenous to the soil; the idea that this is a nation, distinct, independent, intelligent a nation bigenough to stand alone, proud of its history and its characteristics, broad and generous enough to admire excellence wherever found, but independent enough to reject shams whether native or of foreign growth.

New View or Meteor. Home Journal. A new view of meteors and their source is announced by W. F. Denning. He observes that these bodies radiate from a common point, not only for a few successive nights, but that in some cases the radiation has been noted for many months. Now we know that in six months the earth moves to the opposite side of the sun some one hundred and eighty-six million miles away from its first position. If, then, the meteor drift is parallel in two points so distant from each other and in all intermediate places, it is evident that there must be, not a narrow ring of meteors encircling the sun, but a broad belt oi moving bodies drifting past the sun and planets, not strictly members of the solar system, and moving with so great a velocity of their own that the attraction of the.un is insufficient to deflect them materially from their original direction. Whence they derived this velocity it is useless to conjecture. We know that comets sometimes thus come in from outside the limits of the folar system, and we have been led to expect a relation between tbe two classes of bodies. It is evident that the motion of the earth would affect the apparent direction which the meteor had in shooting through our atmosphere. Mr. Denning does not find that tnis changes the radiant point of the meteor more than one degree, which indicates that its original velocity was at least fifty times that of the earth in its orbit, or something like t ight hundred and fifty miles a second. Now the greatest velocity which a body can possibly acquire by falling into the sun by the attraction of that body, or in moving in an orbit around it, is only about half of this. So that we again conclude that the meteoric velocity is due to some projection or impulse entirely outside oür system. If these facts be established by further observations, we will have to form new conceptions of the condition of the space through which the great worlds move. We may not regard it as peopled with bodies only in cloe proximity to the euu't, but that all about through it are messengers from one system to another. In one sense, space is filled with meteoric bodies, and through the vacancies between them may by great compared with their combined volume, yet were they luminous the eye would see them as a continuous haze of light. They are for ever raining down on the earth and the other large bodies as they come within the influence of their attraction. The earth is growing in mass by their addition. That IT as the Trouble. A New Yorker who was doing business In the western part of the State a few days ago finished his dinner at a village hotel and walked out just as a young man drove up with a horte and buggy. An old man shortly came up and began looking the equine over and feeling of its points, and the New Yorker saw euch a resemblf.nce between them that he concluded they were father and son. The old man finally turned to him and said: "Stranger, is that a good-looking horseT" "Pretty fair." "Does bestand well on his legs?" "Yes, I think so." "Is he blind?" I don't know much about horses, ha ing never owned one. Why don't you ask your son?" "That's just the trouble, stranger," replied the old man. "It's my son who's got this hoes to sell, and ba knows I'm blind in one eye and halt drunk ia ths other! If you want to do a favor fcr c!i rzzn in: J he1: fcr r-ivin vrlulo I . - . v

"Invisible friends gathered around the bedside of the dying man," said a Texas preacher, while delivering a funeral discourse over the body ot a man whom death had rescued from the torments of delirium tremens. Next day the paper had it: "Invisible fiends gathered around the bedside of the dying man." The family of the dead man could not be persuaded that it was simply the result cf a printer dropping an r, and were with difficulty restrained from precipitating another funeral on tbe community. Crnnd Words. "After all there is something tenderly appropriate in the serene death of the old. Nothing is more touching than the death of the young, the strong. But when the duties of" life have all been nobly done when the sun touches the horizon when the purple twilight falls upon the present, the past and luture when memory with dim eyes can scarcely spell the records of vanished days then, surrounded by kindred and by friends, death comes like a strain of music The day has been long, the road weary, and we gladly stop at the inn. "Life is a shadowy, trange and winding road, on which we travel for a little way a few short steps, just from the cradle with its lullaby of love to tbe low and quiet wayside inn, where all at last must sleep and where the only salutation is 'Good night "Nearly forty-eight yea ago, under snow in the little town of Cazenovia, my poor mother was buried. I was but two vears old. I remember her as she looked m death. That sweet, cold face has kept toy heart warm through all the years." The above is copied from a private letter to a friend, and the author as might be guessed from tbe words is Col. R. G. Ingersoll. Wide Ht reels. (Philadelphia Post. Much advance has been made during recent years in securing increased space about inhabited dwellings, and modern regulations require that a certain maximum of space shall be given in the rear of houses, and also in the front, tbe width of the street being taken into account as regards the latter space. But in the state of Illinois tbe excessive width of the streets is reported as having of itself become a source of nuisance and of danger to health. Sixty feet and more are ordinarily given to new streets, even in the smaller towns; eight feet on either side are paved and devoted to pedestrians; and the remaining space, varying usually from fortyfour to fifty-four feet,Ji devoted to carriage traffic. The result is, that this wide carraige road, so often in excess of the requirements of the vehicles that have to travel over it, becomes a source of snch expense as to forbid .its being properly paved, cleansed and channelled. The street, consequently, is soon turned into a vast surface of dirt mixed with filth and refuse, and when the weather is dry that dust is formed, the air which is inhaled as the dust flies about is calculated to bring about disease as well as discomfort instead of promoting tbe health of pedestrians. MICHAEL ANGELO. (Bill Nye, in New York Mercury. The great sculpist was born in 1475, at Settignano, thirteen miles from Florence. His correct name iB supposed to have been Michael Angelo Buonarroti Mike began to draw as soon as he was large enough, and for miles and miles around Florence they still point with pride to pictures on the high board fences of which he is supposed to have been the author. While very young, Michael went into the Madonna business, and now' it is a pretty poor Italian town that can't afford a Madonna of some kind. The first great work that Mr. Angelo executed in Rome was the "Drunken Bacchus." It seems that Bacchus was a first-rate boy if he had let liquor alone. But he would drink. lie would go and fill his skin as full of old-fashioned red liquor as it would hold, and then he would hunt up a sculptor and get himself measured for a bust. Early in the sixteenth century, Michael executed a statue of David, from memory. This statue weighed 18,t)00 pounds, and several Americans who have been over there and who were perfectly familiar with the way David looked pronounce the expression perfect. It takes a certain kind of American to settle the merits of any great work, from the creation itself down to the latest joke. The fame of the great sculptor had by this time reached the ears of Pope Julius II, who was meditating the erection of a colossal mauleum for himself in St. Peter's. A serious misunderstanding arose, however, between Michael Angelo and the pope over this work, 'and tbe sculptor left in disgust. It is not yet fully settled what this trouble resulted from, but as near as I am able to learn, the pope became enraged and discharged the sculptor because, at the )ast moment and when it was too late to remedy the evil, he found that the mausoleum didn't fit him. If this be true, I am free to say that Mike was in the wrong. No man wants to pay a large sum for a citcteun and then find when he comes to try it on that it bags at tha knees.

call of the trnmpet while bathing in the Arno. This was never completed and only the cartoon itself remains to suggest what a masterpiece was designed. t$o life-like is the cartoon aloue that on a still day you can hear the snort of the trumpet as the soldiers rush to the bank. As you gate at the picture you are lost in admiration and you hardly know whether to go wild over the master'a great genius or to go and inform the police. Michael frescoed tbe Sistine chapel ceiling in twelve mouths; and did it well, too. He was a rapid. as well as a thorough artist, and his head was literally full of ideas. At last he and the pope again became reconciled, and in 1513 the sumptuous pontiff died leaving instructions for Angelo to cut his mausoleum a little higher in the neck and his executor would settle the bill on sight. It would take many pages to give even a rough outline of the many beautiful monuments which Michael Angelo has erected to his own undying fame as a sculptor, painter and poet. He lived to be ninety years old, and then, full of years and crowned with the glory he had carved out by his own genius and industry he died. Though his work was beautiful, he was not himself beautiful. He ran largely to brow; but his nose was broken in a little misunderstanding that he had at school with a young designer, who thought it would be a good scheme to put what was termed in Florence in the fifteenth century a tin nose on Mike. This gave him a look of pain, and his nose served to convey the idea that the great sculptor had just detected the presence of Limburger cheese under his pillow. As a general thing, however, great men are not beautiful. The pretty young man -has really but one avenue open to him in the world's great race. If he cannot mash a tough old heiress whose father has got the pip, he has very little chance in the mighty struggle of life. If my non should show any signs of great physical beauty, having taken them from his mother's side of the house, I would immediately hump my bck ready to bear a great burden; for judcing by the world's history, his father-in-law and I would have to take turn about in maintaining the young man and his cumulative family. Mother. Youth's Companion. "But after all, she used to be good to

us, It was a son who said this of his mother, whom some nervous malady had overtaken, and who was certainly a very serious trial to her family. The young man's life, too, was a weary one. He waa a clerk .on a salary. He was hard-worked through the day, and it was depressing to go home at night to fault-finding and frctfulness. Harder still was it to sleep, as this son did, week after week and month after month, with all his senses half awake, that he might hear his mother's footsteps if they passed his door, and hurry after her to keep her from wandering out into the night alone, as her melancholy halfmadness often led her to try to do. . Strangely enough she had turned against her husband and he daughters. Only this one son had any power to perluade her for her good. His work by day and his vigil by night wore on him sorely, but he never complained. One day his sisters asked him how he could bear it, and be always patient, when she mother though she was was in the house only as a presence of gloom, and foreboding, and unrest. And the Inswer came, "But, after all, she used to be good to as. And then the thoughts of all the group went back to the years before this nervous prostration came upon her; when she had nursed them in illness, and petted them in childhood when she had been "good to them," one and all. "I know," the boy said, thoughtfully, "that I was a nervous, uncomfortable child myself, the first three years of my life. Father said he thought they'd never rai?e me, but mother said, l es, she would;' and she tended me day and night, for three years, till I began to grow strong like the rest of you. I owe her those three years, anyhow." And so he girded himself afresh for his struggle. It will not last forever. There are signs which the doctors can recognize that the cloud is lifting somewhat, and no doubt before long she will be her old self again. And then will cojne her son's reward. He will feel that he has paid a little of the debt he owed to the love that watched over his weak babyhood. To many mothers, worn by long care, such years of melancholy and nervous prostration must come. And the sons and daughters who find their homes ?addened by such a sorrow, should lovingly Temember the days in which they were helpless, and mother waj "good to them." Protecting Ills Character. Entering the shop of his tailor tbeotb er day he said: "Sir, I owe you $G0." "Yes, sir, you do." "And I have owed it for a year." "You have." "And this is the fifth postal card you have sent me regarding the debt." "I think it is the fifth." "Now, sir, while I cannot pay the debt for perhaps another year, I propose to protect my character as far as possible, here are twelve two cent stamps. You can use them in sending me twelve monthly statements of aecouut, and can thus save your postal cards, and my feelings at the same time." It is said that the tailor has credited the twentyr four cents on account, and feels that he has secured more of the debt than he had any reason to hope lor. Slllllons Ilerrt-iiteU in tbe Senate. The money actually represented upon the floor of the Senate by ownership and outside relations of nearly as close a character would run very high in the hundreds of millions. I do not think that it is too much to say that $500,000,000 in the way of private interests are represented directly upon the floor of the Senate to-day.

(Reese RiTer Reveille. Over in Churchill county, Nevada, there is a great curiosity, mention of which we do not remember to have ever seen in the papers. The curiosity is nothing more nor less than a traveling mountain of sand. The winds have gathered together a great heap of sand and keep it constantly moving like an immense glacier. It crawls steadily along over valleys and through canyons, never ceasing, the sands making a low musical sound &s they rub againut each other, much as they do around the Sphinx every morninc at eunrhe, which gave rise to the legend that the stony statue was greeting the morning sun with a song. But the moving mountain of Churchill contains still another peculiarity. While its iides are symmetrically formed and lay in folds like solidified waves, there is no cone at the top. Instead of its going to a peak there is a hole there made by counter winds, and whosoever is ra?h enough to scale the ridge and pass into that hole pays for his rashnew with his life, for the fickle sands yield beneath his feet, and the more he struggles to get back the faster he sinks until he is smothered to death. The Indians tell of several of their tribe having been thus swallowed up, and no trace has ever been found of them fiuce. Type Sizes. Origiaanlly there were but seven ßizes. The first was called prima, whence the name primer. It is now knowu as twoline English. The second wa3 secunda, now our double picain j France, great paragon. The third was tertia, at present our great primer. Then there was a middle size, still called in German mittel, but it is now our English. After these came the three sizes on the opposite side of the scale pica, long primer'and brevier. In Germany the names secunda, tertia and mittel are still retained. Pica, in France and Germany, is called Cicero, because the works of that author were originally printed in it English printers so styled it from being the type in which the Ordinal, or Service Book of the Roman Church was originally set. The Ordinal was also at first called the Pica. Bourgeoise was so named because it was introduced into the country from France, where it was originally dedicated to the "bourgeoise" or citizen printers of that capital. Brevier obtained its name from having been first used for printing in the Breviary or Roman Catholic abbreviated Church Service Book. Minion is also of French origin, and was so termed owing to having rapidly become a special favorite on its introduction, in that county. La Migone, is "the darling." Pearl is of English origin. The French have a type of the same size which they call "Parisienne." It is a smaller type than nonpareil, and was thought "the pearl of all type." Diamond is another fancy name given to what was regarded at the time of it! origin, as the ultimathule of letter foundry achievement. mum:s amj atoo.ns. Signs by Which the Hotel Clerk Kuoui Them and Which Hare to be Paid For, (New York Sun.J "To watch the newly-married couples who travel is one of the compensations of our arduous life," said an old hotel clerk the other day. "How can you tell whether they are newly married t not?" inquired the Sun reporter, to whom this remark was addressed. "Tell them?" ejaculated the clerk; "I can pick them out as easily as if they carried signs, 4 We are just married.' " "Yes; but how?" "Well, in the first place, they are always most abundant in the fall and winter. I don't know why it i but such is the fact. One of the signs of a newly-married couple is their spick and span new clothes. Somehow, when people get married they generally get as many new clothes as possible. The bride and groom have new hats and new trunks and new dusters. Then, again, they spend money more freely. When a man is in his honeymoon he generally feels as if he ought to be generous. He has a grateful sort of spirit, and throws his money around as if he wanted to show that the world ha3 used him well. He has put by his money for the occasion, and is not afraid to spend it. He is specially anxious that the bride shall eat and drink of the best. He must have a room with a private parlor, and not up stairs very far, and with a good view. Sometimes he is a little chary of asking for these things, but when we suggest them he always says 'Yes Of course it is part of our business to suggest them. We consider thit we have the same right to pluck a newly-married couple as an undertaker has to pluck bereaved relatives." "Do th-?y behave differently from other people ?" "I should well, yes. The husband does not run off to' the bar-room or the billiard-room as the old married men do. When the old married couple arrive you may be certain that the first thing the husband doM is to take a drink or lounge about the billiard tables, telling his wile that he has some business to attend to." "Are newly-married people bashful?" "That depends. The widower and widows don t mind ut, but the young people are a little coy.

The men were specially watchful lest somebody should be ogling the brides. "One day I thought we should have a fight in the dining-room. A strapping big fellow from the West in a suit of store clothes sat down to the table with his bride, a buxom brown-eyed beauty. She looked so fresh and rosy that she could not but attract attention and she got it Every gentleman in the room took more than one look at her and she

! knew it. Of course, he did not object. But the man besran to eet angry. He did not like to speak to the bride about it, because she was evidently not displeased. Finally he got up and walked to the nearest gentleman whom he had ob served and said: " 'Look here, stranger. I d nke to know what vou are staring at my wife for?" " 'Your wifel Allow me to congratulate you, mv dear fellow. You have got the finest wife in the city said the gentleman addressed. 'The fact h,'I thought the was your sister. Excuse me if I was rude; but if you don't want people to look at your wife you must really never take her out in public. No offense meant, sir. "The bridegroom went back to hw place, but he took good care at the next meal to put his wife with her face to the wall." "Which do you think take to the new conditions most gracefully?" "Women, by all odds. Tbe men are alwavs betraying themselves. They want to talk about it; they are full of the subject. Women are more artful, and have more adaptability to new circumstances. But, with all their arts, they can't deceive the old hotel clerk, and it is very seldom wft don't turn in a few dollars extra to the hou on account of our knowledge." "Another peculiarity of the newlymarried couples who go to hotels." con tinued the clerk, "is that many of them live in the city. I hey always come enuirmed for a loner iournev. They have left the wedding guests with the an nounced iutcntion of taking a long jour ney, conspicuously displaying, perhajs, their railroad ticket, ana have been driven by the way of the depot to a firstclasü hotel previously selected. I knew one case where a bridal couple, to avoid detection, actually boarded a train and started apparently on a journey, but took at the next station a train back to the citv. and stopped at a hotel a few block from home. Theu the wedding guests were permitted to stay at the feast as long as they pleased without disturbing aiivbody. If ow Candor Pays. (Atlanta Constitution.
