JOSEPU CXIILD, General Passenger Agsnt, TIIE EDITOR'S YISITOR. It was tho noou liour and tho city edi tor of tho Chroniclo was vcry busy mak inc out nn assiRumont Hst, when a qucsr old-fasliloncd iiRuro of a man came inlo the room and stood waitin by tho sido of the deak. "Well," sald tho city cditor looking up sharply, after an iustant, "what do you wanti'" "I wanted to know if you could mako use of this?" answered tho now-comer, timidly holding out a small bundlo of mannscript. "I sure wo can't, unless it's EomothiDg a trifle less hoary with ugo than tliat you brought hero tho other day." Tho city cditor, who was a comparatively yourjg man, vory alcrt, vory quick in spech and all business, took mo mannscript, un foldcd it with a snap and rau Lis oyo over tho first few lines. Then ho whecled his chair around and said, 8traightcnin; up and speaking tcstily: "Now sce hcro, John Ilarmon, onco and for all, undcrstaud that it's no uso bringingsuch stuff as that in hero, and I won't be bothered lookinR at itl Why, this is idcntically tho samo ancient liis tory you tried to shovo off on mo the other day." "But I havo polishod it upl" suggcstcd tho old man. "Polished your erandfatherl" ex claimcd tlio other. "Why, you couldn't polish that matter so that it would bo rendablo if you work forever. It's liard luck; bul tho plain truth is thero are too many young mcu hustling for llvo nows to allow of such back-nnmber trash as that being good for anything but stop a hole. I havon't got any moro time to talkl If you get any nws bring it in and I will look at i-1 Otherwiso, utay away, pleasrl" The city cditor faced his desk again, fiickcd up liis pcn and foll te work, uot ookinfj nt the other. Tho oldor man for an mstant stood motionless, thcn ho pickcd up the manuscript, put it in his pocket, and turning away walked slowly out of tho room without a word. Tho wind was biting hard outsido and ho drew his collnr about his cars as ho walkcd despondcntly dowu a sido street. II o liad not far to go, for presently ho went up tho stcps of a small house and opcncd'tho door. Tho room into which ho came was baro and miserable looking, and overywhero showed tho laclc of a woman's hand to straichtcn the fow bits of furnituro, which only scrvcd by their mcan repair to add to tho forlorn appear anco of tho appartmcnt. TJio old man stood nuite still. one hand rcstinir on tho door-jamb, staringahead of him as if ho saw boyond tho opposito wall. As ho stood thero, thero camo a glad child's cry from tho other ond of tho room. "Oh, gran'pop, I gla-1 you comc. It's awfully lonely." Tho "old tnan's faco brightened. Be rcachcd dowu, and, as tho little giil camo running to him, caught her up nnd laboringly lif tcd lier to his breast. Then ho kissed her and put lier down Hlio did not sco the tears on his cheeks as ho talked to her of the fun tliev would havo thatevening "after work was done." After work was dono was tho season when thcRO two had prand ramns to- gether. Work, as little Polly wcll fcnew, meant writing, writing, writing until slie would crawl upon tho old man's kneo and bcg him to cnmo play, and ho would drop tho pen from his t rampcd flngers and let her kiss from his eyes tho mist wlncli woulil gatlier tnnro, wlion lio Kopt his mind long flxed on tho pages beforo him. John Ilarmnn was nearly eighty, "a brokcn-down newspaper man" ho was callcd, and his only inluritanco from past days was a knowledgo of newspapcr writing nnd a little granddaughter whoso father and mothcr had died in a fever epidcmic a fuw years before. The old man throw tho roiected manu script on a chair, and then sot about getting 8omethiug to eat for himself and the child, the little ono all tlio wlillo chattering to him of what they would do in tho ovcning. Wlien they had finished ho pulled on his coat onco moro, kissed the child nnd went out again. A pub hshing house had promiscd to look over some manuscript lie left a week or so before. Ho was going thero to got tbo nnswer. ilo comprehendcd dully that his answer might mean somothing to cat, but moro likely kceuer hungcr than ever. When tho child was left to hcrself sho sat down and fell to looking over somo illustrated papers which were her invar iable sourco of amusoment. By and by, bccoming tired, sho wandcred over to the table. Tho rojcctcd manuscript on the chair caught her oye. Gran'pop's Eapers woro forbidden artlcles to her, ut when sho saw this packagonnd slow ly spolt but tho writing on its cover. "Tho Chroniclo," thero camo to her minu that gran'pop had told her when ho was writing this addrcss tho night beforo and was too busv to play witu her that tho manuscript had to bo sent in to-mor-row. This vas to-morro w, sho rcasoned, and tho manuscript had not gono. Gran'pop must havo forgotten it! Ho would bo sorry, sho knew. Presently thero came to her a bright idea and she stood vcry still for a mo mcnt, thinking hard. Why could sho not tako the manuscript to tho Chroni clo? Sho know whero tho offlco was; sho had becn thero with gran'pop. It would bo such a surpriso to him to flnd it already gono when ho came homo. She dcciued to do it. Sho took tho bun dlo from tho chair and pulled on her jacket and ticd her hood fast. Sho was used to dressing hersclf and soon was on tho stcps, tho manuscript clutchcd firmly in her hands. Then sho stattcd for tho Chroniclo offlce, proud of her sclf-appointed mission. The oievator boy was inuch surprised and not a little amused when she askcd for tho cditor. Ho tried to chaff her on the way up, but sho rcfused to Uko any notico of his remarks. if sho understood thcm. All her thoughts were on tho top story and tho cditor. - Despito his fun making tho nlovator boy was a triflo im pressed, and, tliinkintr sho might bo ono of tho "old man's" relationB, when thoy arrived at the upper floor ho showed her to the door of tho sanctum and told her to knock. Thcn he left lier and went back to his post. Tho cditor was grcatly surprised when a timid knock sounded on his door and in answor to his "come ln" ho saw over his gold-bowed spectacles the dlminu tivo maiden wlio cntcred. Ho looked hard at her, but sho did not apncar dis comfitcd. Sho camo toward him with out hesiuition and stood with ono littlo liand resting on tho odgo of tho desk, tho other oxtcudcd tho folded manu script "Gran'pop forgot to bring it down, so I fetchcd itl" sho expla'ned, her bluo eyes looking up into his puzzled gray ones. Now tho cditor was not a man casily confused, but this was a novel expcri cnco evcn to him. In all his llfo ho nover remembcred having rcceivcd in his offlco so small, and attho samo timo so conlldcnt a vlsitor as this. Ho lookcd at her sharply, almost sternly, suspoct ing ho was the victim of somo joko; but her gazo nover flinched and tho baby's Children Cryfor Pltcher' Castorla. cyos were not frightened. Ho took tho manuscript from her grasp and opened it. Tiiero was no solution of the mys tery to bo obtained here, however. The story was some local history of carly days. Thero was no namo, no mark of any kind to tell who wroto it or whero it camo from. Nonplussed, he turned his eyes upon tho little figuro besido him. Somohow, in spite of tho old-fashloncd and much worn clothes, it suggcstcd to him that of a littlo ono who had onco called him fathcr, and a kindly smlle lit his faco. "I don't know anything about this paper." ho said. "Who did it couio from?" "From gran'pop," sho answered, as if that couveyed f ull information. 'Yes, but who's gran'pop?" I don't rcmcmbor him." "Why, don't .you know him? Ho's bccn hero oftcn, and I camo with him onco or twice, that's how I know whero it was." Tho cditor rackcd his brain in vain to think who gran'pop could bo. "Woll, ho said at last, "you sit down in that big chair over thero and I'll look over this paper aud tell you what to tell him." Tlien ho whceled his chair about and began reading. It didn't tako long, howevor, for him to decido what to do. Ho struck a hand bcll on his desk nnd a boy camo into tho room. "Send Mr. Campbell to mo!" tho cditor said. A raoracnt later tho city cditor of tho Chroniclo cntored. 'Campbell," said tho editor, "do you know whoso writing that is?" and ho handcd him tho manuscript. "Yes," said tho other. "It's old John Ilarmon's. II o brought it in hero this morning and I told him we couldn't uso it. It's all ancient history." "Wcll," sald tho other, a bit shortly, "It's tho kind of ancient history tho Chroniclo wants. Can't you sco that that is local matter that a good many would rather read than ucws? Givo it a good placo on tho fourth pago of to morrow's issue. and l'll try to seo that we havo a column of just such stuff twice a wcek. That's all." Tho city cditor did not seo tho littlo flguro in tho big chair, and abit discon corted at being turned down so sharply, ho took up tho manuscript again and lof t tho room, wondering what was tho mat ter witli tho "old man," and how tho hlstorical stuff had como into his hands. When ho had gono tho cditor drew a shect of paper toward him. Looking at tho littlo figuro in tho chair, ho said, "I will writo a lotter for you to tako with you and givo to gran'pop." Sho iio ldcd her hcad wisoly, and he rapidly wroto a few lines. Then ho folded tho sheet, put it in an cnvelope and rose. Tho littlo girl slippcd out of tho chair and camo ncross to him. "Good-bye!" ho said, laying a hand on hcr hcad, "and come and sco mo somo timo again!" Thcn ho npencd the door and watched lier ring tlio bell ana disappear ln tlio ei- evator. Tho olovator boy was quito defcrcntial to her going down; butBho paid no moro attentiou to him tlian beforo. When sho slipped out of the building sho hurricd up tlio street, tlio letter in lier nanu. as sho turned tho corncr sho saw "Grau'- Eop" just cntoring tho door and ran ard tocatch him; but ho had gono in beforo sho came up, so sho knockcd on tho door. Tho same instant it was pulled open hur'lcdly and tho old man, whito and tremhling, stood in the framc. "ThankGod!" ho bicathed, drawing herup in hisarmsnnd burying his faco in her curls. "I ihought you. were lost." "No, I only becu to th' offlce !" ox claimcd Polly, clinging to his ncck. "To tho offlco! Whero doyou mean?" "Th' Chroniclo offlco. I took th' writincr down thero vou left on th' chair and th' cditor gavo moa letter for you; lio wns awiul ulcc ' Tho old man look tho envelopo sho hcld toward him and dropped into a chair. With tho child drawn closo upon his breast he broko tho paper with a trombliug hand and read: TlIE DAILY ClIaONCLE, 1 No. 429 Stret. J John Harmon.

Thero was a mist before tho old man's eyes as ho read tho last words. "Was ho cross, gran'pop?" queried Polly, seeing tho tears.

Prcsident Louis Heningh hauscn of tho Gorman Socioty of Mary land makcs this intercsting statement of tho causo: "Somctimo ngo I visltcd fricnds who had sottlcd as farmors ln Iowa. They had paid moro than twico as much for land of tho samo quality as that offcred for salo in our State. I was curious to know why peoplo should lo cato at so grcat a distanco from tho mar ket and pay a highcr prico for tho land than thoy could havo had at their land lng placo.

The New England Journal of Educa tion has a letter, written by E. Hopkins, from Moscow, which has great interest for other rcaders than thoso for whom it was, primarily, written. Wo copy as follows: Tho editor of a Moscow news papcr told mo that Naples, Constanti nnple, and Moscow aro tho only cities whero tho city peoplo proper aro nevor found on tho strcets. Thoy nover prom enade or drivo outsido oxcoDt they are imperatively obliged to. Tho strcets aro throngcd eutirely with country peoplo aud peasants of tho lowost classes, and solling the chcapest sorts of warcs. Thls is entirely true of Moscow, and tho Russians tako particular pride in the fact. They call St Petersburg a fash lonablo European town, not represcnta tive of Russia or tho Russians; but Mos cow is their ideal. Tolstoi is inaking a visit here from his country homo in Tula. Tlio peasants, for whom ho has sacriflccd himself, ro gard him as an anti-Chrlst. Thoy tell me that ho would bo banlshcd if ho woro not regarded msano. Theso opinions of himself havo causcd him to wish to bo rcinstated in iiis countrymen's favor as a grcat novelist but no pliilosopbcr. By their descriptions of him we conclude ho has rocanted nll his heterodoxics. Wo visited tho wonderful church where the Czars and Czarinas are crnwn ed, and stood on tho vcry spot whero they have all stood for many successions. The natives rcsent to this day that Na poleon stabled his Iiorses in this churuh. Tlio walls aro mostly plated with gold. The ikons are richly studded with won derful jowels. Ono poor man is wcaring out in tho coppcr mines of Slberia for biting ajowcl from an lkon framo whiie he was kissiug it, as tho good peoplo al ways kiss ikon frames. It is not diffl cult to get sent to Slberia or banishcd from the country lf ono is a liussian. Tlie widow of a nobleman marrled tho man who had scrvcd her husband as a barber. For this the Czar forbade her to visit Russia any moro. Thero aro somcmost splendid visions to greet tho oyes in Moscow. From tho Krcmlin yard in front of tho impcrial homo wo overlook grcen-roofcd build ings shinlng in tho May sun under tho shaoows of six hundred gilded miuarets and domes. Tho flnest one is the Church of our Saviour; the quaintest and grand cst is St. Basil. At the top of the main domo in 'he Church of our Saviour is a magnificcnt picturo of God, which im prcssed me dceply. Tho guide could not tell tho namo of tho artist, neither could the alert, intelligcnt, and Intercst ing editor; nor indeed could the young Russian doctor who had scemcd to be so accurato in overything and so well posted. The hcight of the domo uf this church ls so grcat that in order for tho picturo to bo strong tho circumferenco of ono eyo measures nino feet; the dovo de sccndiug from tho Father's bosom to tho head of the hcad of tho child measures twenty-one feet, and overything clse in liko magnitude. Thero aro pictures by Semirad8ki and Rupineon tho lofty walls which makcs mo fcel as if the human mind must sometimes breatho divine Ideas. Tho young editor informed us that none of Verestchagin's pictures WBro.permittcd in the church, but tho guiao nnd tho qulct doctur mIA that somo of tho stupcndous conceptinns of Blblo scencs aro Verestchagin's. We on counter theso contradictious of stato ments ovcrywhere, and it is on this ac count tho writers about Russia differ so much. They sco thlngs which interest them, and tako tho word of their new Russian acquaintances and the informa ti.'nof the guides through couricrs or interpretcrs, and then what they wnte is so crroneous that when it comes back in print it is carefully blotted out by tlio faithful vigilants on tho frontier. Tho fascinating architecturo of the Church of St. Basil keops us standingouts do white the ragged beggars clamor and rub ngainst us in droves. So many domes on ono roof and all so beautlful remind us not only of the dceply rcligi ms char acter of this pcople but at the same time of tho historic fact that John the Fourth put out t!ie eyes of tho Italian architcet who planned tho church that tlioro might nothoanothcr liko lt. Ho built it to commomorato tno capture of Knzan. We hear a groat dcal about Kazan in the largo citics. A diamond from this district camo as a gift to the Church of our Lady in St. PeterBburg and is placed over tho forchcad of tho ikon of Jesus. It is nearly as largo as a baby's flst, and of immenso value. I gazed a long timo at that glittcring multitudo of diamond stars of which it is chief . Tlio painting of our Lord stauds in perspectivo far f.irward from the dark sky, and real diamond stars shlne under tho lighted candlcs forever glving an alivo presenco to tho midnight vault of decp sky, star studded, and to tho faco.

Edward J. Phelps, ox-Unitcd Stxtes ministcr to England, delivered in closing the caso for our government before the commis sloners. Thoso who havo followod Mr. Phelps's epeccli cannot havo failcd to be imprcssed with tho wisdom which has rnarked his plan of treatment; tho skill with which ho has marshalled his facts and arguments; and the clearness and strength of his presontatlon of the case of tho United Statcs as opposed to Eug laud. In his addrcss ox-Minister Phelps dis regarded tho creat mass of dctail which cncumbcrcd much of tho previous argu ments beforo tho arbitrators and gavo cspccial prominence to the real ques tionsat issue beforo tho tribunal. His addrcss, tliereforo, affords an admirably clear and conciso idea of tho claims of our country in relatioii to the wholo seal question and of the grounds upon which thoso claims aro based. He holds that tho caso presents only twn main ques tions, namely, whotiicr the Canadians and tho ronegado Americans who sought the shelter of tho British llag in order to defy the laws of their own country havo the right tocontinue destroying tho seal species, and what regulations aro neces sary to provont tho extermination of the seals. Mr. Phelps denied that tho Unit ed Statcs wished to declaro Bering soa a maro clausura, and said tliat tho soizures of Pelagio sealing vessels were effected under tho American claim of tho right to protect tho seals. Thn interest of the United States in the seals in her tcrrito ly aud in tho industry founded on tho seals constitutcd a property right which was entit'ed to tho protcction of raunici pal and intornational law, and tho prop osition of tho United States was obvi ouslv iust and riclit. . Spoaking in relation to the subject of tho nglits of property, Mr. riielps msist cd that according to municlpal law all useful wild animals that have subjectod themsclvcs, or havo been sublectcd to human c ntrol on land to which they havo a constant disnosition to return and on which they constitute the basis of in dustry, bocomo to a certaiu extent tho property of tho citizens of that land. Under the provisions of intornational law also, mnrino animals becoming tho basis of an industry in maritimo teni tory must bo regarded as a species of property belonging to the per&ons con trullinc this territory. Such property, ho said, had hitherto becn held sacred by general consent of civilized nations. In disproving the testimony of the British commissioners and furriers, to tho effect that intermingliug of seal hords occurs and it is therefore impossi ble to claim cxclusive owncrship, Mr. Phelps held that the evidence was con clusivo that tho Iicrds did not mix with oach other. nnd that tho British claim, that Pribyloff Islands seals wintcred on the British Columbian coast, was not supportcd by thi: evidence, and tho claim was directly opposed to the migratory hahits of "seals. All trustworthy evi dence, he said, sunportsd tho American assertion tliat seals were hegottcn, born and reared on tho islands, rcmaining there" sevcn months in the year, and re turnlng thero with unfalling regularity. These facts, coupled with the protcction oe tno uusoauury oi seais, gave to tne United States such property in the herds as cntitlcd tho government'to protect the species ngainst exterminatiou as well as tho cncroachmcnts of foreign sealers. Mr. Phelps did not confine himself to a mero assertion of this right, but, in analyzlng tho intcrnatinnal law bearing on the case, ho showed that nll marine animals in which thero was a property interest wero treatcd as property by the nations best cntitlcd to protect them, instmcing in snpport of his coutention the British coral and pearl-oyster flsher ies, which, though they were outsido of' territorial wators, it was absolutely necessary to protect in orrer to prevent them from being cxterminated. He made out a strong ease for tho United States and won new distinction, as woll as incroased rceognitien of his ability as a lawyor and a diplomatist. Free Press. ALL FOR BARLEY CORN.
