You have heard much of the great
“dog craxc" affected here by manv ladies
Well. I am glad to have witnessed a scene
the other morning illustrative of it I
wa* calling on a triend in the pa. tors of
the fifth A venue hotel Mrs. b.. who
has a lovely home up on the Hudson, but
is (pending a few da.s here, was receiving
a caller at the same time. She is very
pretty and attractive in feature, and wore
the most exquisite reception dress Every

What first so impressed me with these
ladies was that I never remembered to
have seen two prettier, brighter, and
mdre attractive faces so close t gellier.
Each was of different and yet fairly
beaming with intelligence an I ’ culture,
and promised the listener nothing but the
the imst intellectual conversation, spiced
with br.lliant reiwrtee or pretty, womanly

do all the talking, while I lent eye and

if they conversed on any topic, or alluded
to anything that was not in some way (no
matter how remote) connected with
“dog. " then my ears are ali wrong, and
not to be credited at all. I will repeat it
exactly, without exaggeration, word for
word, from a faithful memory.

a great swirl of silk and perfume, said in

I'M‘psw for the Cholera.
|Philadelphia Sanitary O evi'n ra I
Timid people should remember that
cholera is not necessarily a fatal disease.
Thousands recover in any epidemic, and
are healthy and hearty in the future after
an attack. Should you find the symp
toms upon you. give up at once, remain
quiet in a recumbent posture, and by the
aid of judicious medical treatment there is
very little doubt that you will recover,
unless your constitution is thoroughly
broken down by dis-ipation, overwork or
by allowing yourself to be nearly fright
ened to death when the attack seizes you.

than the story that is told by the great

taking tea with the father of his country,
and, having recently returned from
France, was talking of the French sys

the end, and then said:
“ Vou have just shown the superior ad

legislation."
“How is that?" asked Jefferson.
“Why, vou have poured your tea out of

It is said that the argument was consid

The prince of Wales has been to India
on a tour, and India b at this moment the
exciting cause of almost every tiling which
has taken place everywhere. The revolt
on the isthmus of 1 anama, which burnt
the town of Aspinwall the other day, was
occasioned by nothing but dbplacemcnts
and rivalries over the 1 anama canal,
which has been attempted by the French
in imitation of the British canal to India
in 1 gypt. The civil war in Central
America, where Barrios was killed, was
caused by the disturbance of an American
treaty to make a canal through to the
Pacific ocean and get another route to
India.
The fight in the Saskatchewan country of
Canada arises from nothing but the build
ing of a railroad through that wilderness
to the Pacific with the object of doing
trade with Asia and India, for ail Asia
was the India of C olumbus, China and
Japau included. The fights in various
parts of Africa is for nothing but a rail
road or other means of communication
across Africa to India. The battle be
tween the Kussians and the Afghans is
nothing but British and liussian intrigue
in Asia to get the advantage of each
other.
Unquestionably the time is not far off
when India will be a still greater question
than it is at present, aud will absorb the
attention of the whole world, for the rea
son that India is used by Eu
rope as a make weight against the
United States. If we monopolize
cotton they begin to raise cotton in India;
if we made too much profit on wheat and
corn they begin to raise wheat and corn
in India, if our railroads absorb British
money they begiu to lay railrords in In
dia.
tin the other hand the Russians are the
only people who are opening communica
tions directly from the north of Europe
toward India The Russians built by
American enterprise much of their rail
road system, which now extends to the
Caspian soa. and they have incipient
roads beyond it orrying them far toward
India overland by a route which must ul
timately Ire pr;ferable to the Suez route,
because grain a.ul many other things by
the water route have to pass through the
tropics and must spoil.
A KitMlau Officer'* Coolnem.
[New Orleans Tim w-LUmocrat Translation.]
Col. Ivanoff—one of the high Russian
officers who conducted the Khivan cam
paign—is still a young man, very tall and
handsome, with a fair complexion and a
full thick beard. This heard has won him
the appellation of Sara Fakal Tura, “The
Yellow bearded Chief. ” and the natives of
Turkestan never speak of him, nor ad
dress him. by any other name, not even at
ott cial meetings.
The following incident affords a good
example of his faculty of keeping cool
and calculatiug in the midst of danger.
Once, when accompanied on'y by three
Cossacks, an interpreter and a few na
tives (Djighltes) Ivano.f found himself
surrounded a ltd attarke l t* a baud of at
least 100 Turkomans. Tu Kussians ini
mediately grouped themselves close to
f ether, hack to back and opened fire,
vanoff bad a six chambered revolver. he
fired five shots, and reserved the sixth in
spite of the desperate attack of the enemy.
When reinforcements arrived, when this
handful of Russian troops was saved, and
the general, severely wounded, had Iteen
carried to camp, somebody ventured to
ask him what he had reserved that shot
for “ Why, for myself, ” replied Ivanoff,
very coolly' “1 kept watching to see if
the Turkomans had nissoes. If 1 had felt
the touch of a las>». the Turkomans

Heating Power ot Earthquakes.

Tne heating power of earthquakes is
bow made a subject for discussion in

confidence secured by the good, old fash

to manage an earthquake properly must
necessarily require experience.

Can you tell me how to pronounce- the

about in the travels of African explorers?
I am particularly perplexed by such

English writers generally spell Africa*
words in accordance with Bishop Steen's

sonants are pro ounoed as in r nglish and

variably upon the penultimate syllabi*
In the wordc cited pronounce Kbakka ae

possible sound to the vowel introduced.
The letters m and n, followed by a con

The parting between Washington and

and story, and the famous painting of
that occurrence has. in millions of copies,
become familiar to the people. But no
singer has sung of the parting between
Gen. Holert E. I.ee and his generals after

ashington and his othcera separated in
the sunshine of magnificent victory, the
fruition of their brightest hopes. Lee
and his officers separated in the gloom of
defeat, the darkness of despair. Amid
the happy homes of their iieople, the
shouts aud the banners and the merry
music and the rejoicing multitudes. Wash
ington and bis generals parted to go each
one to his pleasant home Amid the ruins
of their capital, with bare, bowed heads,
in utter silence and hitter tears, Lee and
his generals separated and went their sev
eral ways to homes destroyed, families
broken up and scattered, and ofteu into
exile and obliviou.
The final parting was in front of Lee’s
mansion iu Richmond, two days after
Appouiatto- ,ee’s house is an ordinary
square b..cK, standing aloue on Frauklin
street, one square from the eapitoL All
the other houses on the square are con
nected. I pou the afternoon of the second
day after the surrender people in that
vicinity were surprised to see come riding
up the street from the south a company of
Confederate horsemen. They were un
armed. Their gray uniforms were worn,
soiled, and often tattered, their trappings
old and patched. They wore slouched
hats, and here and there was a feather re
maining of the once smart and jaunty
drooping plume of the Confederate cavalry
man. They were bronzed, and browned,
and bearded They sat erect and came on
with the splendid horsemanship for which
they were noted l non the collars of
some of the gray jackets could still be
seen tba faded ami tarnished gilt stars,
the emb ems of the wearer s rank.
In front ofthem rode Lea, His two
hands held the loosely-swingiug reins and
rested upon the pommel. His head was
bent, and his eyes were looking straight
ahead from under his downcast brow, but
they seemed to sec nothing.
As the troops cantered up to his old
home his horse stopped at the gate, and he
aroused himself suddenly, as from a
dream and cast his eyes upon the famil
iar windows and then around over the
group of gallant soldiers who had fol
lowed his fortunes lor four bloody years
and gone down in defeat under bis banner.
The end of it all had to come at last
He threw himself from his horse, and all
his companions f# He -d his action. They
stood hat in h -nd with an arm through
the bridle rein while Lee went from man
to man, gra-ping each hand, looking in
tently into each face as though he would
Eress it u|>on his memory forever Then
e turned and walked* tim. igh the gate
and up the steps to his door. A* a servant
opened the door he paused wuh his left
foot on the veranda, his right upon the
last step, and looked back for tin last
time. Not a word had been spoken, not a
good-bye uttered. There was no sound
heard but that of sobs as these unkempt
and grizzled heroes of 100 battles leaned
their heads against the shoulders of their
horses and wept
Lee gave one look and broke down at
last his bands went over his eyes, bis
frame shook with sobs, as he turned
quickly and disappeared into bis lonely
bouse \\ ith the closing of the door be
hind him ended forever the wild dream of
the Southern Confederacy.

One cold day in January fc poor sailor
was standing coatless outside a lodging
house near the pier at Gravesend. lit hail
not only spent all his money, but bad
parted with his coat. Cordon saw him,
shriveled with the wind, and found on in
quiry that he was wating for a ship to go
to sea again What arrangement be made
with the man no one kuuws, but au eye
witness saw Cordon take off his own < oat,
place it on the sador. and walk back to
the fort bouse in liis shirt sleeves. An
other time, when the winter coals were
being delivered at the fort house. Gordou
noticed that one of the men was very ill
clad Ili> boots were ragged and his
trousers thin and tattered. The man was
wet and grimy, and altogether an evil
case. Cordon rigged him out, atid his
kindness was not misplaced, for when the
next coal delivery took place Cordon no
ticed that the boots and the trousers wero
both being worn, and made the remark
“ I am pleased to see that you are wearing
the clothes I gave you ana have not sold
them. "
Some people seem to think that the fact
of Gordon s bounties occasionally benefit
ting the ungrateful and the unlit is a re
flection on his acuteness and his common
sense. Ho far from (his assumption being
justified, it aptn-ars that Gordon deliber
ately incurred the danger of being do
ceived for tbe chance of a thrust at real
distress Once when walking through
the hospital wards one hot summer s day,
Gordon u tired a sick man tortured by
fiies lighting on his face. Haying noth

he gave to the nurse for the sick man.
“that he may get a little rest.” That
sick man still possesses the fail which
Gordon obtained for him, aud he prizes
it dearly.
A City Going Down 11 lit.
[C hicago Times ]
From recent surveys it has been ascer
tained that the entire city of \ irginia,
Nev., ha< moved over thirty inches to ’ ie
east since the big fire of IH7tL The .May
nard bl<>ck, in Golden Hill, is known to
be gradually sliding down in the direction
of Gold canyon, and lias moved nearly
two feet since its erection. This move
ment is so gradual that it does not afTect
in any manner the safety of the building,
as the ground to the depth of nearly 100
feet to the bed rock is known to be con
tinually sliding. It is a well-known fact
among practical miners that the ground
on which \ irginia City is built is what is
termed a slide, and that it is necessary to
sink nearly 100 feet before finding the
natural bed rock. These slides are
caused by the coustant crumbling of the
rocks on the mountain sidea The debris
thus accumulated through incalculable
ages is constantly gravitating downward,
aud in a few hundred thou-ands of years
what is known as tbe site of Yirgiuia
City will be nothing but barren bed rock.

Some years ago a woman applied at a
London hospital for treatment for a nerv
ous affection. After listening to
a recital of her symptoms, the
doctor mnde her shut her lips
upon a clinical thermometer. Upon
removing it tbe patient exclaimed; “ Why,
1 declare, it has done me good already ”
The doctor humored her delusion, and re
frained from any other treatment than a
few more applications of the magical
glass tuba bL - was soon cured. Apa
railel case is now cited by The Philadel

been cured by m»<rnetiam. The magnet

A Dangcioui Half-Truth.
[Loa<*ou Truth.]
Doctors often say to you, “ Be sure you
come to me at once. I can arrest disease
at an early stage; but delay—hesitate'
hesitate'—and you are lost!" This is just
one of those dangerous half-truths where
our doctors do suck no small advantage
If you call the doctor in for every little
allmeut, you will get into an artificial
state Nature will strike work, and you
will never be well without the doctor—
nor with him either. IF you always take
opiates, you will never sleep without
them, or tonics, you will never eat with
out them; or stimulants, you will never
work without them.

Youth will fade and beauty wanes;
Lovers, flouted, break their chains.'
Health may fail and wealth may fly you,
Pleasures cease to satisfy you;
Almost everything that brings

The bovs, as usual were at their cards.
I took a frii nd into my counsels, and we

this shell a long fuse 1 then told my

that? Thats from Lee's battery on the

card playing by daylight "
•lust then “boom " went the old dry
goods box, and instantly 1 dropped the
shell, with the burning fuse, down
the chimney. The shell fell upou
the fire and rolled under the bunk
on which the boys were sitting. “Tch—

boys thought it a message direct from
Lee’s batter}'. Two tried to jump through
the door at the -auie time, and blocked up
the narrow door so that neither was able
to gei out. A full evacuation of the tent
was finally effected and a retreat made —
not. however, iu good order No one
was killed; but the boys waited behind

A small volume of statistics, showing
the work doue by the postothces of the
w orld, has just been published in Flor
ence. From this it appears that in 1883,
the latest year for which complete returns
are available, there were in Lurope 65,500
receiving officers, 41,500 telegraph offices
and 225,00 J letter boxes. The total num
ber of persons employed by the various
jK»stoftiies was 356,000. and in the twelve
months there were transmitted 683,000,000
letters. 546.000.000 post cards. 1,046.000
books and parcels, 1.672,000,000 news
papers and 117,000.000 telegrams, the
gr<«' weight of the matter sent through
the post being estimated at about 800,000
tons.
The lowest charge for the conveyance
of any letter or post card was one fifth of
a cent, the highest $25. The total receipts
of the various offices amounted to *IOO,
750,000 and their expenditures to $159,-
700.0' 0. These figures are surprising
when one renumbers that less than half a

Some little time ago there appeared an
advertisement in a weekly journal in
which the writer affected to make an
oiler to the reader, which he assumed no
one would answer, simply on account of
incredulity. His profesition was made as
a test tosh w if there was any faith left
iu munkiuil He didn't expect any reply,
but lie simply made the experiment
The oiler was to the effect that if any of
the readers would send him five 3 cent
stamps ho would return them a present
suitable to their wishes. Nine people out
of ten would have saiu that no man or
woman could be gull enough to lie takeu
in by such a bait as this; nevertheless sev
eral parties sent the stamps. entered into
particulars of the station of life iu which
they moved, and indicated the kind of
presents that would lie acceptable. One

go to u baV, and no doubt believed that
she would either get a silk dress or a |»air

PALACE CATTLE CARS.
The Transportation of Live Stork from a
Shipper** I‘olnt of View.
'National Car-Builder ]
A writer in a recent number of The
Age of Steel, published in 8t Louis, de
scribes from personal observation the
cruel treatment to which cattle are sub
jected while being driven from Texas to
Kansas City, and from thence transported
by rail to the eastern seaboard cities The
description, although written apparently
in the refrigerator car t»eef traffic luterest,
is no doubt substantially true, if, indeed,
it does not fall short of the truth in de
picting the abuses practiced in live stock
transportation. Tbe details need not be
recapitulates It is enough to say that
they are revolting to every humane in
stinct. and a reproach to civilization.
The trouble is not because suitable cars
cannot be built, or that cattle cannot be
fe»l, watered, and rested while on their
journey; but it results from the neces
sity of chea|>cuing the cost of transporta
tion ’ carrying as many cattle as possi
ble .a ear. and bv continuous running, so
as to make tbe trip in the quickest pos
sible time. This will do very well for
short distances that can be made in from
twelve to eighteen hours, but when cattle
are driven long distances *o points of
shipment, and are then packed into cars
to remain there from fifty to lUO hours,
with imperfect feeding and no outside
rest, the case is very pifferent. If cars
could be made so as to give the animals
plenty of room to lie down, and at the
same time be supplied with feed and
water, without increasing the cost of car
rying them, it wouid have been done long
•fia.
“Palace” cattle cars were invented and
patented a dozen years ago, with ample
provision for making the cattle comfort
able and saving them from the protracted
misery which they have now to endure.
One of these cart was thirty-six feet long
and nine and one-half wide, which is tea
feet louger and one foot wider than stock
cars usually are. It would carry sixteen
cattle of ordinary size and give them
plenty of room, but no such cars are run
ning on the roads now, because com
petition will not admit of it. No road is
going to carry cattle in palace cars,
packed in as loosely as hyenas and tigers
in a traveling menagerie, while a rival
road, by prodding and tail twisting, car
ries twice as many in the same number of
cars of the common kind. The best car,
from a shipper s and transporter's point
of view, is one that will carry the great
est weight of Texas steers to the square
foot without killing the steers before
reaching their destination.
