Jennie june and John G. Sake.

A Saratoga correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser re-
lates the. following concerning an in
terview between John G. SAKE and Jen-
ME June, the fashion correspondent:
How about the remark attributed
to you by Jennie June, Mr.. SAKE, that
woman possesses neither originality,
inventive genius, nor beauty?' [ asked
Of the gifted author of the Golden
Calf to-day"
''I am incapable of such remark, -
answered the poet Indignantly. ''First,
because it would have been ungallant
to the lady I was talking to-and with
her it would have been wholly untrue
too, for she has q aOOndertut jgaUegatiUe
ge1oius-then because [ have loving
wife and three grown daughters, as
beautiful as the morning"
"What did you say?" I asked of
SAKE.
Why, by Jove the woman did most
of the talking herself. Indeed, she
herself said those UeTy a0ords;; and be-
cause [ didn't get up an issue and de
ny them, she put them down in big
capitals and attributed them to me
As soon as [ was presented to her that
day, [ put on my moral and intellectual
fine clothes, for [ knew she was 'on the
interview and, by Jove! [ thought I'd
see for once how nice [ could talk. So,
when she asked me what [ thought OF
women, ] said, Women do many
things in a very clever manner, but
they have never succeeded as great in
ventors (this, by Jove, I take back
now!), but taken all together, / think ]
see more men who please me than
women.
$50 do [, said Jennie, her eyes
sparkling.
'FBut Humboldt's theory" said Mr.
SAKE, and III fact almost every philos
opher says the same, els that the male
sex IS the most perfect in all the ami
NAL kingdom-see the horse, the lion
the panther, the zebra-and there is nt
reason why nature should depart from
her habitual economy in the promotion
of the human species"
g think Humboldt is very right,
said Jennie
''Well, I don't accept him altogeth
en-" said Mr. SAKE. "Man may have
all the excellencies of physique, bu
we know woman possesses moral attri
butes superior to ourselves.

Ten Thousand Men and Boys OF Strike
From the London Times.

The engineers strike at Newcastle
and Gateshead continues, and down to
Saturday night there was no more pros
pect of settlement than at any time
during the past month or SIX weeks.
The masters and men have had nc COM
munication since the strike began, and
neither seem disposed to make any
overtures. The weekly payments to the
men made by the Nine-Hours League
are small. According to the number of
men out, the sum OF money is handed
over to the men OF each factory on the
strike. There are nearly ten thousand
men and boys on a strike, but hitherto
it has only been necessary to give aid to
about 3, 900 of these men, and inno case
has ii very much exceeded four shillings
per head. The resources of the other
men will ultimately become exhausted,
and they will have to apply TO the
League for sustenance, but they state
that they can get on very well for at
least a month longer without much diff
ficulty. There is some talk Of intro
ducing foreign workmeninto the engine
factories, but how far that IS practical
to any extent is not known. The join
ers, strike i'll Newcastle is still contln-
ued. The masters are getting few
more Belgian workmen from Antwerp.
but, on account of the bmskness OF
trade outside of Newcastle, all the JONI
ers on strike, with the exception OF 81
or 40, have got employment elsewhere;
Some boiler-makers are on strlke at
Jarrow; otherwise the worknen IN 9th
er parts of the districts outside New
castle are steadily employed.

Oliver Levine's face was very

and said
"May you be happy, Haidee." F"
"I will, she said, softly; "and,

"Three weeks ago, tonight" she
continued, noticing his quick gasp and
pale face, "I found your note in my

slonate words you wrote, for I truly
believe you were mad, bewitched, when
they entered your mind. Try to win
Celvine's affection, Oliver, for you were

She drew the scented piece of note
paper from her pocket.
"See, Oliver, :" she said, "your past
folly shall never be brought to light.
She held the paper over wax taper

gray mound of ashes remained. She
blew those away, and said
"Oliver, the past is only the past.

The Mango Tree.

BY CHARLES KITGs1Er,
He wiled me through the furry oroft,
He wiled me down the sandy lane.
He told his boys love, soft and oft,
Until told him mine again.
We married and we sailed the main
A soldier and a soldiers wife
We marched through many a burning plain:
We sighed for many gallant life.
But his-God kept it safe from harm.
He toiied, and dared, and earned command
And those three stripes upon his arm
We're more to me than gold or land
Sure he would win some great renowr:
Our lives were strong our hearts we're high.
One night the fever struck him down,
sat and stared, and saw him die
/ had his children, one, two, three
One week had them, blithe and sound,
The next-beneath this mango tree
BY him in barrack burying- ground
fsit beneath the mango shade;
live my five years life all Ger
Round yonder stem his children played;
He mounted guard at yonder door.
'Tis /, not they, am gone and dead.
They live, they know, they feel, they see;
Their spirits light the golden shade
Beneath the giant mango tree.
All things, save 1, are full of life
The minas, pluming velvet breasts
The monkeys, in their foolish strife - .
The swoopmg hawks, the swinging nests;
The lizards basking On the soil;
The butterflies who sun their wings;
The bees about their peaceful toll
They live, they love, the blssful things!
Each tender purple mango shoot
That folds and droops so bashful down
It lives; it sucks some hidden root;
1t rears at last baoad green crown.
It blossoms, and the children cry:
'E Watch when the mango apples fall !"
It lives; but root,ess, fruitIess L
I breathe and dream, and that is all.
Thus am [ dead, but cannot die
But still within my foolish brain
There hangs pale blue evening sky,
A furry croft, sandy lane.
-Euery Saturday.

Wisconsin City.
From the Janesvwo Gazette.

At the registers Office in this city, is
an old, torn and discolored map, scar
ing date of 1S41, showing the recorded
plat of Wisconsin City, one of the
q map=towns" which years ago figured
SO extensively in the operations Of
eastern land spectators. Wisconsin
City, which, of course, had but nom
inal paper existence, is supposed to
have been located on the limestone
bluffs, southwest of Payne, Hastings
& Co. IS woolen mill, and though to this
day, there is nothing but trees and I'M
derbrush to mark the site of the town,
the plated map would lead unsophisti-
Gated oasterners to believe that flour
ishing village of not less than one
thousand inhabitants had sprung into
existence on the banks of large navig-
able stream of water. The streets are
regularly laid out and named,
and churches colleges, acade-
mics, schools, market places
and public squares being designated
by reference marks, while along the
bank of Rock river are represented ex-
tensive docks where the imaginative
draughtsman had things fixed IN the
most approved style for loading and
unloading the cargoes from steamboats,
which were to transport articles OF con-
sumption and trade over the shallow
waters of our unpretentious river. But
the glory of Wisconsin City has fed
and those who invested their money III
her corner lots and water privileges
have long since forgotten the sharp

which they were victimized. Its site
now affords good pasturage for cattle
and horses, and they crop the luxuriant
herbage and rest beneath the shadowy
foliage as unconcernedly as though the
turf beneath their feet covered not the
ruins of city which never existed.

The other day an excessively humor-
Gus Canadian came upon a small snake
in the woods, and, carefully entrapping
it, waited until night, and placed it be
tween the sheets of an old gentleman's
bed. The victim,retired as usual, and had
barely covered himself when the reptile
began to crawl over him. Paralyzed
with horror, he lay still until the snake
had left him, and then,. half dead with
terror, fed from the bed and around
the house, He was told that the affair
was intended as joke, and the auther
was designated. That idiotic scamp
took counsel of discretion, fed the
town, and has not ventured to return,
though his absence cost him fine posi-

Narrow Escape from Disaster.

caped fearful disaster When the
train had reached point q few rods
east of Shoholia, Pa, and was proceed
ing at rate Of fifteen miles an hour.
switchman at the intersection of the
single and double track apparently de-
liberately displaced the switch, throw
ing from the track, the engine, bag
gage cars, both day cars and two new
sleeping coaches, the "Jay Gould, F"
and & Fisk, Jr." None of the wrecked
cars diverged more than a few feet from
the rails. The point at which the run
off occurred is about eighty feet above
the surface Of the Delaware river,
which flows below. Fifty feet further
on, the Shohola creek, a small stream,
runs under the railroad through huge
chasm fully hundred feet in depth
Had the train been running at a great
er rate of speed than fifteen miles per
hour all the cars must have been dash
ed to atoms, either in this deep glen
beyond, OF into the Delaware river on
the left. AS it luckily tnrned out, nc
person was injured, and the damage to
/ the running stock was slight. The
shock was severe, many persons being
precipitated headlong from their berths.

asleep. was unconscious what he was

the train was upon the track to which
he turned the switch lever.
