Berlin.

AS we passed out of the Berlin station
we were handed cab tickets. The cabs
are single horse vehicles, the first class
costing twenty five cents for an ordinary
drive, and the second, which are less
finely upholstered, something less. The
passenger hands his cab-ticket to por-
ter outside who calls out the number on
it, and the carriage is at once driven up,
and the traveller gets in without the least
delay or confusion. Berlin is not usual
Iy reckoned one of the pleasantest cities
for long sojourn, Notwithstanding its
many extraordinary attractions, for
pleasure seekers as we'll as students. 1t
is big enough, the traveller at once per-
ceives that, as he is driven through it's
endless and broad streets, in which he
needs telescope to read the shop signs
on either side. You see at once that
there are people enough, but they are
lost in the desert spaces OF the city for
not only are the streets broad, but open
places, tree-planted parks, small and
great, are so frequent that if the whole
population should leave the houses, no
uncommon crowding would take place.
Berlin is the sudden creation OF modern
wealth and talent, and not the growth of
ages in which genius developed itself.
You find some buildings to admire, but
few that specially interest you, inside or
out The museum building is the best
in the city +; its Grecian front is very i'm
posing, and it's bronze groups are very
effective, so also are the frescoes of the
vestibule-at a distance. But Berlin,
as ] said, offers to the pleasure seeker as
we'll as the student all the attractions of
a great capital. It's opera and its thea
tiers are the best in Germany.-Berlin

A Novel Dodge.

Since the opening of the Centennial
Exposition thieves and confidence men
have poured into Philadelphia In the
hope of reaping rich harvest from what
is known to them as suckers, or people
from the rural districts visiting the show.
The other day man, evidently afarmer,
left a bundle containing twelve new
shirts Gor which he had disbursed $3.50
at saloon near Fifth and Chestnut
streets, promising to call for them in the
afternoon. A number of men were in
the place at the time, and later in the
day man stepped in, took drink, and
left a bundle similar to that deposited
by the countryman. In about an hour
and half the fellow called, remarked,
"I guess I'll take that package now"
and decamped with the shirts belonging
to the gentleman from the rural districts.
In the evening the. farmer claimed his
bundle, and, in laying it upon the bar,
one end was accidentally torn open, re-
vealing a bundle of old newspapers. The
farmer still mourns the loss of his linen.

The TuiIerieS.

/ A letter from Paris to the Philadelphia
TELEGRAPH says. g The fate of the ruins
Hf the Tuileries at last has been decided
by official decree. The ruins, massive,
picturesque, and useless, are to be re-
hoyed, and building erected on their
site which is to serve as picture gal
cry and museum, probably as a gallery
for modern French pictures, as the Lux
smbourg, now used for that purpose, is
ENORMOUSLY the worst adapted edifice for
/ picture gallery in the world. The.
rooms are cramped, the light is bad,
and there is no possibility of an adequate
display of fully one-third of the art
treasures that should bedeposited there.
It was at first suggested that the walls of
the Tuileries should be left standing,
ind merely the roof and interior replaced,
but there were grave doubts expressed
Is to the soundness of the foundations,
md so the last vestiges of the historical
palace of Catherine de Medicis will
shortly disappear.

4 Race for Life on Trestle Work.

A negro outran a locomotive on the
high trestle work over the Chewalla
creek on last Sunday afternoon. He
had started to town by following the
railroad track, and had walked on the
trestle distance of about 100 yards,
when he was met by the outgoing train
for Montgomery. Instead of getting
down under the stringers, as he might
easily have done, and been perfectly
safe, he got frightened and sought safety
in fight. He had 200 or 800 yards the
start OF the train, but he ran his 100
yards over cross-ties two or three feet
apart and forty feet high, and bounded
off the trestle and track about three feet
ahead of the engine. It was an exciting
and lively affair to those who Witnessed
it. -ExfzatlG (AIa.) NeaOs.

THE WELL-DIGGER.

Come, listen all, while I relate
What recently befell
Unto farmer down in Maine,
While digging of well.
Full many a yard he dug and delved,
And still he dug in vain;
i" AIack I" quoth he, " cen water seems
Prohibited in Maine!'
AID still he dug and delved away,
And still the well was dry;
The only water to be found
Was in the farmers eye.
For by the breaking of the bank
That tumbled from the station
All suddenly his hopes were dashed
OF future liquidation.
And now his sands were running fast,
And he had died, no doubt,
But that just when the earth caVeo IN,
He happened to be out!
ss AIas!-I have happy thought J"
Exclaimed this wicked man
eTo dig anew this cursed well
1 see pretty plan:
CRU hide me straight, and when my wife
and exc the neighbors know
What's happened to my digging mere,
THEY'LL think that I'm below!
"And so to save my precious life,
They'll dig the well, no doubt,
Fen deeper than it was at first,
Before they find me out"
And so he hid him in the barn
Through all the hungry day,
To bide the digging of his well
In this deoeitful way.
But list what grief and shame beteh
The false, ungrateful man,
The while lie slyly watched to see
The working of his plan.
The neighbors all, with one accord,
Unto each other said:
with such a weight of earth above,
The man is surely dead"
And then the wife, with pious care,
All needless cost to save,
Said-ss Since thee Lord hath w1lled 1t so,
Fen let it be his grave"

Going Into Winter Quarters.

By mid October, most of the Rip Van
Wrinkles among our brute creatures have
laid down for their winternap. The toads
and turtles have buried themselves in the
earth. The woodchuck is in his hiber-
naculum, the skunk in his, the mole in
his and the black bear has his selected,
and will go in when the snow comes.
He does not like the looks of his big
tracks in the snow. They publish his
lgoings and comings too plainly. The
coon retires about the same time. The
provident wood-mice and the chipmunk
are laying by winter supply of nuts or
grain, the former usually in decayed
trees, the latter in the ground. [ have
observed that any unusual disturbance
in the woods, near where the chipmunk
has his den, will cause him to shift his
quarters. For many successive days,
one October, I saw one carrying into his
hole, which was only few rods from
where we were getting out stone, buck
wheat which he had stolen from q near
field. But as our work progressed and
the racket and uproar increased, the
chipmunk became alarmed. He ceased
carrying in, and, after much hesitating
and darting about, and some prolonged
absences, he began to carry out; he had
determined to move; If the mountain
fell, he, at least would be away in time.
So by mouthfuls, or cheekfuls, the
grain was transferred to a new place.. He
did not make bee /" to get it done,
but carried it all himself, occupying sew
eral days, and making trip every ten
minutes. John Burroughs, IN Scrd6'aes'

his hay crop. The tramp insulted the

AN INVOCATION.

FRIEND OF my manhood delight of my youth!
hoamer with me over valley and wild wood
searching Tor loneliness, cropping for Truth!
Stay with me- dwell with me- spirit of Poesv:
Dark were the world if thy bloom should depart
Glory would cease i'll the sunlight and starlight
freshness and courage would fade from my heart
Stay with me, comfort me, now more than ever
When years stealing over me lead me to doubt
If men, aye and women, all we believed them
When we two first wandered the green earth
about!
Stay with me, strengthen me, soother, adorner,
Lest knowledge, not WISDOM should cumber my
brain, ~ bB4 t#ss ~
And tempt me to sit in the chair of the scorner
And say, with sad Solomon, all things are vain!
Stay with me, lend me thy magical mirror!
Show me the darkness extinguished in light;
Show me to- days little triumph of Error,
Fooled by to-morrows great triumph of Right
Stay with me-nourish me- robe all creation
In colors celestial of amber and blue;
Magnify ittleness-glorify eommonness-
Pull down the false, and establish the true.
".
Stay with me, Poesy Let me not stagnate!
Despairing with fools, or believing with knaves,
That men must be either the or the other,
Victors or victims-o ppr ssors or slaves
Stay with me, cling to while there is life in me!
Lead me, assist me, direct and control
Be in the shade what thou vert in the sunshine,
Source of true happiness-hght OF my soul!

6ovKYoR TILDEN's letter on Rebel Debt
and Southern claims takes the wind ef-
fectually out of the radical gas blowers
and newspapers. All may be satisfied
that Uncle Samuel will do just what he
says. -
The fact is the radical ring rascals and
lobbyists at Washington have for years
found quite bonanza in the Southern
claims. Several years ago, under an Act
Of Congress, the President appointed a
Southern Claims Commission of three
Republicans who have been examining
and passing on these claims, of course in
the interest of there ring friends at
Washington. In fact it was just arranged
for that purpose, A bill was introduced
in the House during the late session to
abolsh.th Commission and open up the
counts for the adjudication of these
claims, where the examination would be
public and carried on under the rules of
law, evidence and not in secret conclave
where political iobbers work together for
mutual political benefit. This bill did
not become law.
3a Two years ago the Republican Com
mittee of the House reported favorably
on Southern Claims amounting to EIGHT
MILLIONS, and SIX MILLIONS passed Con-
gress and were paid of course the lobby
rings, getting the lions share. The in
fuence of these fellows with there friends
in Congress is, ofcourse influential, These
ring lobbyists could do nothing during
the late session as the House was Dem
Ocratic.
