The g.eHiclne OF Sunshine.

The world wants more sunshine in lis dis
positions, in its business, in its charities, in
its theology. For ten thousand Of men and
women we recommend sunshine. 1t soOthes
better than morphine It is the best plaster
for wound. 1t stimulates better than cham
pagne. The good samaritan poured out into
the travellers more OF this than OF Oil. Flor
ence Nightingale used it on Crmean battle
fields. Take it into all the alleys, on board
all the ships. by all the sick beds. Not a
phial full, not a cup full, hot decanter full,
but soul full. 1t is good for spleen, for
liver complaint, for neuralgia, for rheuma-
tsm. for failing fortunes, for melancholy.
We suspect that Heaven itself is only more
sunshine

Horses with Money in Them.

There has been a good deal Of talk about
the sums of money lost and won on the races
of last week. Lord Dudley has been heavily
hit-they say ne lost $4,000 on Petrarch at
Ascot alone. a professional bookmaker
cleared $4,000, and another-a very poor
man, made 9S, 900 in one day. The passion
for horse-racing does not seem to die out, and
the price paid for promising horses is far
grea,e than ever. Was there ever anything
so foolhardy as to pay S21,5 in gold for a
colt only 8 year old? This is what trainer
named Peck gave last week for yearling
by Macaroni out of Duchess. 1t is ''enter-
prise run mad. No one can judge what a
colt will turn out j; he may not be worth his
corn; he may neither have pluck, strength
nor speed. His sire was good horse; his
dam was a wretched failure. So that the price
paid for him is not justified even on the
ground of pedigree. | should like to hear
Robert Bonner's opinion of this little trans
action--he is as good a judge Of horsehesh
as any man either in England Or the United
States, and certainly has never shown lack
of boldness in bidding for q famous horse
Would he like to buy back this S22, 600 colt,
and take bis chance Of the animal turning
out a Derby winner OF q miserable screw ? AS
a contrast to this bargain, refer to a
horse which recently came into prominence
ut Ascot. His sire was-nobOdy knows his
dam was sold at second-rate dealers for f5
or s10. The horse himse!f-his name is Jes-
ter-rnight have been bought a few months
ago for e100 or less. Last week he won q
rather important race at Ascot and was then
sold for e2, 600. and much larger sum is
now asked for him. So that lucky stroke
in horse flesh is about as good thing as a
man need wish to have happen to him
in these hard times.-Loado'e Letter to -Neao

That Air ship.

A Philadelphia paper says of the air ship
now being built at that place for Professor
Schroeder: She is to be rs feet long, SIX feet
deep and four and a halt feet wide in the Gen.
ter. She is to be pointed at both ends, and
will be supported by balloon of an elllptl-
Cal shape, 13O feet long, so feet high in the
center, and capable Of holding 3o0,ooo cubic
feet of hydrogen vas. 1t is fastened to the
ship by 500 lines, some uprigh and others
stretched from end to end. These guys are
calculated to keep the balloon from swaying
to and fro, and also to keep it setting snug to
the ship The latter is a frame OF iron wire,
shaped somewhat like tlatened cigar. At
the forward end it is to carry pulling pro-
peller made Of p!ate-sttei covered with can
vas 1t viii have two blades and turn On
two-inch steel shaft fifteen feet long. The
motive power will be an electromagnetic en-
CINE of twelve-horse power. which Professor
Wahl, of Polytechnic, is now constructing.
The engine is to have an eighty pound mag
net There are to be three rudders, one aft
and on each side. The stern rudder, of steel,
like the propeller, will be eight feet high and
six feet deep and the side rudders, placed a
little forward of the center Of the ship, will
be 4t feet high and feet deep. The interior
of the ship will be fitted with hanging seats,
and will accommodate 30 to 40 persons. Her
weight, when covered with canvas, which
will not he until the Professor is ready to
sail for Europe, will be $50 pounds. The
gas used is to be passed through purificator,
will average 1880 cubit feet to the pound,
and have lifting power Of Il ounces per
| Luhit foot There will actually be two bal
looms in one, that on the inside being of twill.
muslin, and the outer one Of eight ounce
cotton duck. Should the inner balloon burst,
the outer will form parachute, which will
lower the ship slowly and safely. Professor
Shredder says his ship is not an experiment.
1t is simply an improvement on former mod.
els. He had ship of this kind he says, in
Rio de Janeiro, except that it had pushing
and not pulling propeller, and succeeded
we'll with it. 1t obeyed its helm like q me.
teor He also sailed in an air ship with Du
puy L'Home, the Partisan areonaut, and
although it was clumsily constructed, and
had the Objectionable pushing propeller il
still made good time and obeyed its helm"

Never Again.

He got two pounds Of cream caramels for

it's contection she adOreS. Then he over
hauled her young brother, who was scOoing
around on the street with characteristic aim

to the house. He gave the young man q
nickel for the performance of the errand, and
made security dOubly secure by telling him
with an air of unbemished confidence that
it was a package Of worsted, and that he
must be very careful to deliver it. The young
brother started briskly for home, but as soon
as he was out Of sight Of the donor, he paused
and with a perplexed expression of counte-
nance begun carefully to weigh and press
the package. His perplexity increasing, lie
carefully poked hole in the wrapper. Then
be smiled such wholesome smile that II
was really delightful to see it. Then he
quickened his pace. When our hero called
in the evening he looked anXiously for marks
of the carameIs on bis heloyetl's chin. But he
looked in vain. There was not even the
taintest Indication 1T the corners G her lovely
mouth that anything in the line Of cream
caramels had travelled that way III some time.
He waited all the evening for some mention
of the refreshnlent But not word. He
was nonplussed. Nearly third of q week
salary had gone in this purchase, and be
might as well as have dropped it in the crater
Of Vesuyius, as far as satisfaction was con-
cerned. The mystery appalled, him. Before
morning there was another mystery in the
house. It took doctor and one third Of an
aroused neighborhOod to subdue young
Johnpy's stomach-ache. Such an astonished
ache was never before crowded into such
narrow limits. The doctor couldn't under
stand it. Neither could anybody else. John

The ('hsDI ssT:etOr-A bsOy Phenomenon.
From the New York Worid.I

:: MasterJ Harry Shannon, the infant prod
iyy. or ''cnlid orator." as he is called in
Washington and Baltimore, where he has
come 10 be very we'll known, is now in TINS
clly, and Monday evening he surprised the
l,rye audience at GiimOre's Garden by sud-
drnly mounting the music stand and begin
nlnS to ueclaiA HE famous speech which tue
Irish patriot. Robert Enmet, made from the
Green street dock in Dublin. Mr.. Levy had
just finished his cornet solo, and, as usual,
most Of the audience were within good hear
lug distance, but When Child began thus on
| a sudden the delivery Of great speech from
the spot just vacated 10y the musician, every
| person il Tie Hlppodronle gathered as near
| as possible, and Tor about forty eight min
| u,es Master Harry held his audience. Even
| the bar-tenuers and walters deserted their
| places and went out and mingled with the
| audience, for no business could be done so
| long as the child continued to speak.
| The surprise had been arranged by Mr..
Shook, who is friend Of the gentleman who
has Master Harry in charge. The Child is a
native Of Washington City. Some time ago
| he suddenly developed the capacity to COM
| NIT any speech or writing to memory at a
single hearing His mother Was reading
aloud, when her child stopped her suddenly
and asked permission to recite what she had
been reading. He started off and repeated
correctly the piece she had read, and at the
same time making gestures and modulating
| his voice where it was required, insOmuch
that his mother found her boy delivering an
oration to an audience of one, and marveed
greatly. She was frightened, and ran to
inform some of her neighbors OF what had
happened. Ever since that time the phe-
nolDenOn has remained the same, and two or
| three public exhibitions have been given in
Washington. Master Harry is now only
seven years old. He has never received any
education-not even learning to read. He
maDifests no desire to get book-learaing,
apparently satisfied with what he seems to
| get by inspiration. His brother, who is only
three and a half years old, has, it is said, de-
| yeloped a talent for music, which is still
more wonderful than the phenomenal rhet-
orical powers of the elder brother. 1t is said
| that Master Harry wants to take the stump
| for Gov. Tllden. In appearance be is a
fine, bright-looking lad, Of flll height, though
rather slight and delicate i'll build, and with
an especially fine head and pair of eyes.

New York Correspondence Chicago Tribune.J
The recent marriage ot SaIlle Ward Hunt,
lin Louisville recalls to some of our old mer-
chants singular fact in her history. 1t may
be recOilected that she married one of Bos-
TONS favorite sons, Mr.. Bigelow Lawrence,
and when she went to live at the Hub, the
blue blood of the ancient city declined to ac-
cord to the Kentucky belle that social distinc-
ton which her ladyship evidently anticipated.
She took mortal otfense at this treatment and
persuaded her husband-then a millionaire
m;Il-owner and dry goods merchant--to re-
move to New York. This transferred to the
metropolis the first great mill agency, which
was rapidly followed by others, until the Bos-
ton branch houses in this city did larger
business than their originals in Boston.
In measure, the New Englnad mill busi-
ness was revolutioniZed by these changes, and
it is recognized fact in our commercial his
tory that it was owing to the pride of Sa)lie
Ward Lawrence that the trade of Boston was
thus diverted to New York. This incident
also recalls another, in which q prominent
Cehnecticut village was the sufferer A
young manufacturing prince inherited large
fortune from his father, and designed build
ing an immense factory not far from Hart
ford. He had found his wife at Saratoga.
She had hailed from New York. When she
understood his plans for building upon a
colossal scale, she knew it meant residence
in the village. Accordingly she urged OBJ
jections, and was so successful that the fac
tory was located in this city. where it's sannual
production mounts up toward %, ,O0O, 600.
The Connecticut village lost the advantage Of
the improvements simply because the wife
did not like the place.

Tribute TO the iseas. Cavalry men.

General Nettleton, in Il late number of the
Philadelphia Times, pays q glowing and elo-
quent tribute to the memory OF Gen. Custer,
his CID commander in the cavalry service of
the late war. We suhjon couple Of ex-
tracts:
''n:!rn@ one Of the many actions near
Winchester, in 1864, Clusters division had
driven back the enemy's cavalry flank a con-
siderable distance, and with SO much lmpetI-
osity as to seriously disorganiZe the commahd,
when Early suddenly uncovered ana let
loose strong force OF infantry and aT'll-
iery in our immediate front. This unexpected
change in affairs temporarily disconnected our
advancing troopers; they "aveled, one or
two regiments broke III confusion under
sharp artillery fire, and a stampede seemed i'm
| mnent, when Custer dasblng with his escort
| and colors to commanding point on the
! skirmish line, summoned bis division band 10
| ioin him from Its safe retreat, and Instantly
| above the racket of the fight the saucy notes
! of ''Yankee Doodle" were ringing across
the field to the utter aston!shment Of the en-
emy and the magical encouragement OF our
! own men.
"While the bullets ratified among The horns.
the troopers, with loud cheers, PROMPTLY raj
lied, and when the action finally ended it was
without vestige Of the threatened panic and
rout. At the cost Of some personal risk and
one or two wounded musicians, General
Custer had apparently prevented serious
reverse, and what was better. had preserved
the confidence Of bis men in themselves and
their leader.
|
"A Major General of wide and splendid
fame at twenty-five, and now slain at thirty
six, the gallant Custer had already lived long
if life be measured by illusirious deeds; and
no matter where may be the blame for his
cruel slaughter, he will not have died in vain
if the sacrifice of himself and his noble COM
rades shall burn into the consciousness of
the nation these truths: First. That our
whole In6ian policy is fundamentally absurd
and crime against both races. Second. That
two absolute sovereignties cannot and should
not exist in the same territory at the same
time Third. That the savage, lawless and
tribal population, alternately coddled and
fought in the midst of this Republic. should
be at once and effectually subjected to the
laws of the land. like other residents, and be
promptly compelled either to cease to be
savage, lawless and tribal, leave the Republic,
or cease to exist"

ANTz.SLANG SOCIETY.
Heroic Efforts Of Young Ladies' TO Sup
press the American LanguaSe.
from the Wheeling IntelligeucGr.

1.-The " Reform Club is the title Of new
organization in the West End, organized by
young ladies for the purpose of discouraging
the use Of "slans phrases in conversation.
At a recent meeting, while a member was
addressing the society, she inadvertently
made use of the expression lawful nice,
and was called TO order by sister member
for transgressing the rules.
lin what way have [ transgressed? 2;
asked the speaker, blushing deeply.
You said it would be awful nice to ad-
nit young gentlemen to our deliberations,
replied the other.
speaker: "you know you said yourself no
longer ago than yesterday that
Yes, l know but you said lawful nice
That's slang
''WelI," said the speaker, tartIy, if you
are going to be SO awful nice about it, per
hsps it is but wouldut say anything if I
were you. Didn't you tell Saliie Spriggins,
this morning, to pull down her basquel'
"No, | didn't" retorted the other, her
face growing crimson land Sallie Sprig-
gins will say didn't. She wont go back on
me-"
''This is nice racket you are giving US,
cried the President, after rapping both
speakers in order. ''Let us ask, what is the
OBJECT OF tDlS society
ITO discourage slang!" cried dozen
voices
''K'rect," said the President, ''go on with
the funeral'
A member rose to explain that she had
been fined at the last meeting tor saying
lawful NICE herself, but she hadn't the
stamps to pay it now-woud settle, how
ever, in the sweet by and by.'"
''That'll be all right" said the President;
"pav when you have the ducats.'
Another member asked if a young lady
could say ''old spendid' without subjecting
herself 10 @ fine.
''You bet she can't" said the President,
who was the original founder of the society,
and therefore appealed to when any nice
question was to be decided.
"Then," said the speaker, Il move that

Mirandas face was in blaze as she
cried:
''Shoot the chinning," cried the President.
"Will you never tumble?'
But the confusion was too great to be

sided with her and others against her, and
amid the Babel that followed could be heard
such exclamations as ''dry up," mice black
