five dollars to run steamer from Savannah
to New York; and as the necessary
machinery will not take up one-forth part
of the weight and room Of boiler, engine
and fuel, of equal power, another advantage
would be additional carrying capacity and
space for freight.
If Mr.. Keely should be able to demon
strate all that he promises, the mills and
manufactures and the commercial and
social progress of the world would receive
new impetus. Even steam and electricity
have failed to satisfy the impatient temper
and the industrial demands of men, and if
there are any other forces in nature which
can be availed of, they will be largely
pressed into service. But what is to be the
lessened value of all our coal fields, if this
new motor has all the virtues claimed for it ?

from it every poor and holy joy, to say
nothing of the part in life to which he has
doomed that other woman whom, before
God, he had vowed to love and cherish.
As for married women, when they can so
far forget their own dignity as to purposely
lead on and encourage men, exciting feel
ings which selfrespect equally with mar
riage VOWS make it utterly impossible for
them to return, l think there are few
terms too strong to apply to them; but at
the same time, am convinced that the
term fiirt is often most unjustly applied to
women who, strong in the faith that they
are honored and trusted by their husbands,
strive simply, by the force of natural
instinct, to please and be agreeable to all
around them. Take a woman who knows
and feels that she is appreciated and
admired, is thought bright, amusing, and
even witty, and ten to one she will actually
become, for the time at least, all these three.
Like flower which, in full sunshine, with
care and attention blooms brightly, eX-
pands, and gives forth its delicate sweet
ness, so I think a woman perfectly conf
dent and assured of affection and admira-
ton will charm and please much more
than one doubtful of her own powers. The
careless looker-on, or the cynic, will cavil
and object to every little winning way or
charming manner, attributing to the woman
an evil motive rather than the simple fact
that, happy herself, she is striving to give
harmless pleasure to others. Believe me,
the agreeable, attractive women who draw
admirers around them as naturally as the
sweetest flowers draw honey bees, those
women who, because so surrounded, are
almost universally pronounced firts, in
reality seldom deserve the name. That
such do not exist, however, | cannot pre-
sumo to assert, but they are far fewer than
the world would have us believe, and but
few victims ever grace their sacrifices.
These are left for the cowardly, the un-
principled, criminally selfish married man

country who have their eyes fixed upon
that amazing wealth which now acknowl-
edges him as master. AS he is now seventy
six, it will not be long before new owners
will be wanted for it, and then their
chances may be tested. 1t is said that
Stewart contemplates various benevolent
endowments; if he really desires to found
them, his proper method is to see his work
performed. Let him follow the example
afforded by Peter Cooper, and thus forever
bar all subsequent quarrels. Thus far he
has shown no disposition to do this. Much
has been said of his girls lodging house, by
which title the public has designated the
huge structure on Fourth avenue, but it
cannot be learned what are his intentions
with regard to the establishment. Stewart
is peculiarly reticent as to the plans, with
one exception. He fully admits the money
making feature. He is bent on making all
he can. Having an immense cash surplus,
he can WELD it with great effect in pur-
chase Of land, which is now very low. He
is gathering wealth with an immense
rapidity but it will soon be the subject of a
fierce battle, and one of these days the pub
lie will be entertained with the details OF
the "Stewart case" John Mason was the
Stewart Of his day, and his estate was, as
have said, in the courts for a quarter of a
century. To conclude, it is my opinion
that the man who lives to see either OF
these great estates administered to per-
manent conclusion will be much Older

The currency contest in Ohio has brought
out the following amusing anecdote OF the
financial bravado of certain Kentucky gen
tlemen once upon time: One of these
gentlemen mentioned that no cigar lighters
were at hand, and taking dollar bill from
his pocket, held it in the flame of gas, and
lighting his cigar with it threw the burning
fragment on the floor. A second high
toned person took five dollar note, and a
third a ten dollar note, and burning them
communicated the fire to their tobacco,
Then an old citizen, something of wag,
produced his check book, drew check
for thousand dollars and gravely pro
ceeded to light his cigar with it. The Gin
cinnati Commercial wants TO know whether
the old citizen impoverished himself to the
extent of one thousand dollars by burning
the check, and if not, why not2

it did not constitute marriage. He also

FRENCH SOCIAL CUsTOMs.-A good story is
told of young American who, while
in Paris, invited two young
ladies to accompany him to the theatre.
He secured three seats, and drove to the
house of his friends, half hoping that one
was indisposed, so that his felicity might be
unboundcd. The two were awaiting him,
and their mother as well, who kindly in
vited herself to chaperon the party, and
intimated that her daughters could under
no circumstances so without her. There
was no help for it. The four crowded into
the carriage. No fourth seat could be OBJ
tained adjacent to the three, even on the
same tier and during the three long acts
the three ladies sat in a box, while the
young American gazed at them with feel
ings unuttcrablc from his seat in the par
quet. The drama over, only cabs, will
room for two, could be obtained to conye,
the party home. Here was dilemma
which young lady should he select as cal
companion? They were both charming
and the matter was difficult to decide
The old lady settled it, however, to he
satifaction, if to the annoyance Of tn
American. IIortenso and Sophie, you G

The famouse Rush mansion in Philadcl-
phia was to have been sold under the
hammer on Tuesday, but was withdrawn,
as only $l25,OOO was offered, a smaller sum
than the executors had fixed upon. There
are many "reminiscences clinging about the
old mansion which make it one of the most
interesting places in the Quaker City.
1t was built by Magame Rush, the wife Of
DIR. James Rush, son Of Benjamin Rush,
known as one Of the signers of the Declara-
ton Of independence. In her day Madame
Rush was the acknowledged leader Of
fashion in Philadelphia, and her house was

MY LOVER.
BY MAGGIE C. lIIGBY.

Away, away for many miles
Across the trembling sea,
My lover has gone this summer night,
And will never come home to me;
Never will look in my eyes again
And smile-in years and years
Oh, 1 cannot see the fading ship
And the twilight sea for tears!
The summer wind that is stealing the dew
From every flower that grows,
Ruifiing their leaves and finding the blush
Down in the heart of the rose,
Is cruel as ever wind can be
To bear him away so far,
Across the trembling twilight sea,
In the track of the evening star!
1 will cover my finger-tips tonight
With a score of kisses sweet,
And throw them over the cold blue waves
That are murmuring at my feet;
In hopes they will bear them out to him,
To remember through years and years;
Oh, cannot see the fading ship
And the twilight sea for tears

Wouldn't be Dared.

1t doesn't do to dare a married woman in
playful way to do anything to you. The
unmarried girls will not hurt man as a
rule, but the matrons know what men are
they have had experiencewith the wretchcs,
and know them to be anything but tender
plants, easily withcred or found out. a
gentleman at South Bend, Indiana, failed
few days ago to reason in this manner,
and suffered from it, though he came out
nominally ahead. He was riding along in
his buggy, all dressed up, and stopped for
moment to cha1f young married lady Of
his acquaintance, who was engaged in
watering the flowers and grass with hose
He scoiIed at her in Il good-natured way for
being engaged in menial work, and she
responded by threatening to turn the hose
upon him. He dared her to do it. She
said She wouldn't take a dare, and he,
sitting immoyable was willing to wager any
thing against a dish of strawberries that
she couldn't make him move. 1t was a
strong hose, and the South Bend water
and a stream with the force of small
Niagara suddenly struck that nicely-drCssed
man full in his shining shirt-bosom. He
was Spartan and never budged. Chuck
ling, gurgling, laughing and splashing like
the falls of Minnehaha III the Spring, the
water played upon that bold man and
riotcd about the buggy. Like Plymouth
Rock, the desperate man remained i'm
movable. The water coursad in a torren
down his back, and the seat of his pant
bulged out like hump on came's back
the food splashed down under the bosom
of his vest and he looked like an alderman
who had been reelected for eleven years
the bottom of the buggy was lake with
maelstrom in it. And still pair of prett
hands held the nozzle firmly, and the stut
born man refused to move. The water Il
the South Bend reservoir sunk perceptibly
and the pumping engine got more steam
put ON, but the food on the man III tn
buggy never lessened. The vehicle stoo
in a pound Of mud, and the horse ha
thought of swimming out, when the lad
weakened and the flood ceased, simpl
because she couldn't hold the hose an
longer. Then the man got out of til
buggy, without dry stitch on him, an
5 went in to eat his Strawberries. He didn
eat long, and then man was seen drivir
home for dry garments, and his driyir
: was like the driving of Jehu, the son
: Nimshi. And he'll not dare a marie
0 woman again very soon.
