a Nation Of Liars.

The island of Ceylon Is very
beautiful, the scenery lovely, and
the soil productive in spices and
all kinds of fruit; indeed, it is
said that it alone might produce
sufficient coffee for the cpnsump-
lion of the entire world. The ma
tives are, however, far from pleas
ing. They are generally of short
stature, apethetic, and such liars
that it is impossible to depend
upon their word. If they
may repose for hour after
hour under a tree, with a piece OF
bread fruit beside them, they care
for little else.
The men wear their hats turned
Bup behind with a comb denoting
the rank of the wearer. This and
their small features give them
altogether such an effeminate APP
lpearance, that it is difficult for a
stranger to distinguish them from
the females. A visitor lately en-
tered one of the schools and seeing
row of boys sitting with their
back toward him, and each with a
comb in his head, unconsciously
asked if boys and girls were edu-
Gated together.
One of the natives of high rank
vas lately called on to give evil
dence at trial, end swore such
complete falsehoods that he was
imprisoned for perjury. He APP
piled to the English government,
and with surprise asked why he
should be punished for what he
could not help.
"My father" he said, twas a
liar, and my grandfather was a
liar, and we are all liars. 1t is the
custom of my country. Why
should 1 be punished ?"

The poultry show closed this evening,
and the work of removing the specimens

Company NJ, of the third united States
Artillery, which has been on duty at the

at the grounds until the 18th inst, when
one half of the force will be returned to
their posts, the others remaining until all

ordnance, signal service and medical de-
partment, comprising sixty five men all
under the command of Capt. Warner,
will also remain on duty at the grounds,
until exhibits in their charge shall have
been returned to Washington.
AS the lease of the international stock
yard has not yet expired and as the yard
is of no further value of exhibition pur
poses the board of finance have granted
the sheds to the foreign exhibitors who
have had their packing boxes burned
The latter will therefore be able to manu-
facture new cases under cover without
being compelled to build sheds for the
purpose. The large amount of surplus
lumber remaining in the stock yard is to
be utilized in the erection of a grand
stand for the accommodation of partiG-
pants in the closing exercises on Novem-

the weather is propitious to hold the

WHICH LOVED BEST.

81 love you mother" said little John,
Then, forgetting his work, his cap went
on,
And he was off to the garden swing,
And left her the wafer and the wood to
bring.
~ love you MOTHER said rosy Nell,
81 love you better than tongue can tell"
Then she teased and pouted full half the
day,
Till her mother rcjoced when she Went
to play.
81 love you, mother" said little Fan,
"To-day I'll help you all L can;
How glad L am school doesn't keep"
So she rocked the babe till it fell asleep.
Then, stepping softly, she fetched the
broom,
And swept the floor and tidied the ro IN
Busy and happy all day was she,
Helpful and happy as child could be.
81 love you mother" again they said
Three little children going to bed.
How do you think that mother guessed
Which of them really loved her best?

ROOMS OF ENORMOUS WIDTH.

The London sTimes" says: The desire
to construct the largest single roof in the
world was achieved in the roof of the
which now possesses that distinction,
having eclipsed the roof of the Imperial
Rising School at Moscow by few feet,
the span of the former being 240 feet, and
that of the latter 235 feet. But, apart
from ambitious motive, the principal rea-
son for adopting these large single spans
is that it obviates the necessity for col
ums or other intermediate supports which
hamper the station arrangements and in
interfere with alterations, should they
become necessary. The most recent ex-
amples of large span roofs are tobe found
at Glasgow and Manchester, both OF which
are in course of construction. The Glas-
land Railway, already referred to. 1t is
however, smaller, the Glasgow roof hay
ing a span of 1877 feet, and length of
679 feet in the Midland roof The new
roofwill be 80 feet in hight from platform
level, and will be supported fifteen main
ribs, twelve of which have already been
erected in place, andthe ironwork for the
remaining three is being sent for. The
total weight Of the iron work in this roof
is about fourteen hundred tons. The roof
at Manchester is for the new joint station
of the Midland, the Great Northern, and
the Manchester, Sheffield and the Lin
colnshier Railways and the works have
recently been commenced. The design
is also of the same character as that of
the st. Pancras soof, the span being 210
feet and the length $50 feet. The cast
and wrought iron will weight upward
of twenty-three hundred tons, of which
nearly the whole will be in the roof it

A VALIANT EXPRESS MESSENGER.

The San Francisco Bulletin of October
26 says: GAS the Weaverville stage was
coming down the mountain about thirteen
miles north of Shasta yesterday afternoon
a highwayman suddenly jumped from be-
hind bush, covering Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
messenger, John McNemer, with shot
gun before he could make any resistance,
and demanded the treasure box, which he
was forced to hand over. The robber
started for the brush with his booty and
ordered the driver to drive on. AS soon
as they were out of sight of the robber
McNemer jumped from the stage, ran
back, got on the robbers track, followed
him short distance, where he found him
taking the treasure from the box, which
he had already broken open with a pick.
McNemer fired at him, knocking him
over. The robber jumped up and ran
short distance, when McNemer gave him
the contents Of the other barrel, killing
him instantly. He then recovered all the
treasure and brought it safely here"

AMERICAN GOLD PLATED CHAINS
ADRoAD-lt would appear that gold-plat.
ed chains, for watches, necklaces, Sc, of
American manufacture, are received with
such favor in English markets as to Gre
ate some apprehension on the part of
manufacturers of like articles at Birming-
ham. The Birmingham Gazette of a re-
cent date devotes some little space shows
ing the progress of the business and its
effect on local manufacturers. 1t says the
American chains are excellent specimens
in color that without very close and care
full examination they might easily be
mistaken for genuine gold by even eX-
perienced persons. They are made by
machinery, each link being closed by
hydraulic pressure, and they are capable,
therefore, of withstanding any amount of
wear and tear.
