THE TILTON FAMILY.

Theodore Tilton's recent departure fol
Europe was due to consideration for
both the health and talents of his daugh,
ter Alice, who has just attained her 10th
year. During his recent tour he travel,
ed 10000 miles and earned $4,000. This
achieved, he had no thought of going to
Europe, but on going to Brooklyn he
was Informed by his daughter Alice
who has been stopping at the residence
of the Rev. Richard S. Storrs, that her
health required a change of scene. 1t is
SAID that this young girl recently had
her first comprehension of the nature OF
the troubles of her family, and that il
seriously affected her. In addition to
this MIR. Tilton discovered that she pos.
sessed undoubted genius for sketchine
and for what is termed decorative art
and after consultation with experts he
determined to take her to Munich and
place her with one of the best masters.
Her sister Florence, who is three years
older, went to take care of her. She is a
dignitied and womanly girl, and has
shown some ability as writer. There is
absolutely no truth in the report of a
quarrel between Tilton and Moulten,
theodore has followed the latter's exam
pie in quitting Brooklyn for good, and
there is 10 probability that he will ever
resume his residence there.
Mrs. Tilton Is very contented, and as
some one expressed it, is "not only as
happy as bird, but lives like queen
Certain it is that, from never having
worn other than neutral tints in clothing
and abstained from jew elry, she has
blossomed out into colors and even
makes up her face little. She declares
that she was never so happy nor so reli-
gious. She has received no money from
1ilton since he sent her check for $1,000
on her intimation that she would be will
ling to receive pecuniary aid. She has
been consulted, however, on family mat
ters through third party, and having
departure for Europe assisted in the pre-
parations. The youngest boy, Frank, is
with his mother.-Ne,o York Letter to the

HOW LONGFELLOW WRITES
HIS LITERARY HABITS AND PERSON
AL PECULIARITIES.

Little, if any, of Longfellows poetry,
as published, is written on the spur of
the moment. "The Divine Tragedy" is
said to have been rewritten after it was
nearly all in type. During late years he
has been in the habit of publishing
his poems in the magazines, and after
having obtained n sufficient number, ad-
ding few new ones to them and issuing
them in book form. He brings his
"copy" to the office of the Univ 9rsity
Press, which is only half a mile or so
from his own residence, written in leads
pencil, in a small back-hand, very much
like the average newspaper mans style
of handwriting, clear and mostly free
from interlineations and easures. His
magazine poems are always revised and
corrected, or at least altered more or less
before their publication in book form, SO
that the reader rarely encounters one in
exactly the same shape as in the perodi-
cal,

INVERTED SOLDIERS.
AMUSING ANEoDoTE FROM SCOTLAND

A regiment quartered at certain town
in Scotland had among them an expert
gymnast, who taught his brother subals
terms how to walk across the barrack
room on their hands. While engaged
one evening the door opened and the
colonel, stern disciplinarian, entered
the room, looked attentively at the in
verted company, shook his head gravely
and departed without uttering a word.
n order to be on parade the next morn
ing was the least punishment expected
for this breach of discipline. Some days
passed, however, and no notice being
taken, it was thought an apology and eX-
planation should be offered by the prime
instigator of these unsoldierly move
ments. A reference being made to the
memorable night the colonel amazed the
intended apologist by exclaiming:-
"Hush, sergeant, would not have any

SEEKING WORK ABROAD.
DEPARTURE OF SKILLED MECHANICS
FROM NEW YORK TO ENGLAND,


An order from Europe for skilled me
usual thing, although the departure yes
terday from New York on the steamship
Montana of the Williams and Guion Line,
of fifty carpenters under contract with
M Messrs. r. Neill & Son, builders, of Man
chester, England, is not the first instance
of the kind. j. N. Abbot, of New York,
through whom the order was made, did
not fiud any difficulty in filling it, in fact
there were many more applicants than
required. The men engaged were all
Residents of that city and Brooklyn, and
those having families have been assisted
by the firm to take them with them. LII
the carpenters had their fare paid to
England, and employment secured for a
year, and longer if they were found wor-
thy. The hours of labor will be from 8
O'Clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the
evening, with one hour for dinner and a
holiday on Saturday afternoon. They
Will be paid six shillings day, which
the worKmen claim is more than they
can earn in New York at present, where
the Cost of living, too, is much greater

arrival at Manchester
Many of those engaged are natives OF
England, who, Though acknowledged to
be skilled mechanics, have not been able
to make living here. Many of them
seemed glad to rid themselves of the
trammels of the trade societies and the
freq uent strife between employers and
employees. 1t is believed that. but few of
these men will return to the United
States. AS an indication of this it is
asserted that of the $50 masous sent to
Glasgow only six have returned, and
they have already made application to

Australia have obtained steady employ
ment and express no desire to return.

DISGRACE TO THE FEDERAL
UNIFORM.
GFrom the Chicago Times. !

tiO SulCdSO lIl0Ss
There is a person in Pittsburg wearing
the uniform of an officer of the United
state army, who should not be permitted
to disgrace that honorable livery another
twenty four hours. His ne me is not ma
te.ial; his place is that of commandant of
the United States Arsenal at Allegheny
City, and his offense is, according to the
dispatches, that, coward like, he closed
the arsenal gates against a battalion of
Philadelphia militia who were fleeing for
their lives from an armed mob OF ten or
twenty times their number, under pit
ful fear that he might not be able to de-
fend the building and grounds against
the rioters. The act, as it is reported, was
that of craven, and if the reports are
verified the President should cashier him
peremptorily. Had the arsenal been
commanded by man fit to bear the COM
mission of the National Government its
gates would have been flung wide open
to the retreating soldiers and closed in
the faces of the pursuing rebels. In all
their blind and reckless fury, the ruffianly
murderous handitti would have stopped
short at the portals over which waved the
flag which is the symbol of national au-
thority, or if they dared to attempt an at
tack of the garrison, reinforced by the
Phladelphians, could easily have resisted
a siege until the power of the govern
ment affected their deliverance. This
affair of the arsenal is one of the most
disgraceful incidents of the Pttsburg
insurrection, and it will be disgrace
to the government and the army if
the offending officer is not summarily
punished.

HOW A $40 BILL PAID NINETY
DOLLARS DEBT.

Mr.. Brown kept boarders: Around
his table sat Mr.. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mrs.
Andrews, the village milliner; Mr.. Black
the baker, Mr.. Jordan, carpenter, and
Mr.. Hanley, a -four, feed and lumber
merchant.
MIR. Brown took out of his pocketbook
Brown, saying:
"Here, my dear, are ten-dollors toward
the twenty promise you" ..
Mrs. Brown handed it to Mrs. Andrews,
the milliner, saying:
"ThaJ pays for my new bonnet"
Mrs. Andrews said to Mr.. Jordan,as she
handed him the note:
That will pay for your work on my
counter"
Mr.. Jordan handed it to Mr.. Hanley,
the -four feed and lumber merchant, re-
questing his lumber bill.
Mr.. Hanley gave the note back to Mr..
Brown. saying
"That pays ten dollars on board"
Mr.. Brown passed it to his wife with
the remark that that paid her the twenty
dollars he had promised. She in turn
paid it 10 Mr.. Black to settle her bread
and pastry account, who handed it to Mr..
Hanley, wishing credit for the amount
on his -four bill, he again returning it to
Mr.. Brown with the remark that it settled
for that months board. Whereupon NJ.
Brown put it back into his pocketbook,
exclaiming ''that he never thought ten
dollar bill would go so far"
Thus ten-dollar greenback was made
10 pay ninety dollars Indebtedness inside
of five minutes. Who says greenbacks are
worthless?

Oyster Culture,

Under the fostering care of the govern
ment oyster culture In France is becom~
ing more and more productive. A recent
report by NJ. Bouchon> Brandely to the
minister of marine contains a description
of nearly thirty different localities, en-
bracing some hundreds of "parcs," or
beds, where the industry is carried on.
One of the most curious facts in the re-
port is that at Coursculles the oysters
are actually trained to keep their shells
closed, and thus retain their freshness
while being carried to market. AS re-
CARDS the quantity of oysters which q
small "parc" will produce, the following
statistics may be quoted: At Grand
Camp there were, at the time of M.
Brandely's visit, three millions of oysters
ready to be delivered for consumption.
In 1875 the owner of bed at Lorient
sold 100000 oysters, 100000 of which
were ready for consumption. In an es-
tabishment to LIE Breneguy 4,401 900
dredged oysters were placed on the beds
in 1906, of the value of 11S, ,425 francs,
and in the same period Z, ,53S, ,150 oysters
were sold out of the same "parcs," val
ued at 202,S01 francs. The difference
between these two figures represents, to
certain extent, the annual productive
powers of the beds The number of spat
sold during the same time, either to the
establishments on the coast or to stran-
gers, and resulting from the clearing of
the tiles used for collecting, was 26,176,-
300, representing value of 102,3S5
francs. The growth of the oyster may
b. estimated from the fact that in 1873
there were placed on the beds at Regne-
vile $4,000 young bivalves, measuring
only two or three centimetres across. In
1874 no less than $4,000 of these same
Shel-fish were sold in the markets, mea-
suring seven to eight centimetres in
diameter. The collectors used for catch
ing the spat or infant oysters have been
greatly improved during the last few
years.

Nym Crinkle, writing of actors, says /:
.. Women portray physical anguish with
+ more poignant veracity than men.
1 ut in the manifestation of mental pain
think men have not only finer but
more extended gamut of expression.
Whether it be that their sympathies lead
them to study physical suffering more
closely than men, or that, without spe-
cial experience their delicacv of intui-
ton and their responsive bodies enable
of the race, might be worth while to in
quire. But, without attempting to find
an adequate reason at this time, let me,
owevur, suggest one fact in explana-
ton. Men, as a whole, are ashamed of
physical suffering, and try to suppress
the manifestations of it. Women, on the
her hand. are not. Actors do not es-
cape this law, if it may be called law"

The English Government has been
harshly judged and blamed by many
Americans because it is so severe In its
dealing with Fenian insurgents after
they have been routed and beaten by the
police and military. = r.
English premiers do not explain to the
world the reasons why both Liberal and
Tory administrations are so unyielding
OH this point. The trne cause Is un-
doubtedly the settled conviction, from
experience, that any relaxation of rigor
in the punishment of Fenianism would
only lead to renewed outbreaks in the
Green Isle. AS fact, EnglaH has sup
pressed Fenianism, and her rulers fairly
say that this has been done not simply by
the bayonets and police clubs but also
by the infexible application of all the
legal penalties to the offenders.
The civil authorities in the United
States may learn from the experience of
England with her disturbing elements,
what to do with the men who took part
in the late outrages and who have yet
suffered no punishment. Every man who
can be Identified as engaged in the de-
struction of property or attacks on the
soldiery or police, or as an in,tigator or
abettor in riotous proceedings, be arrest
ed, brought to trial promptly, and made
to suffer the full penalty of violated law
We see that in different parts of the
country many arrests of ringleaders and
other of the mobs have been made. The
district attorneys and sherifis in some
places are quite active in following up
these criminals. There is great danger
however, that in some of the States there
will be only show of severity, if the law
takes any notice whatever of them, to-
ward these destroyers of life and property
and that they will be released on nomi-
nal bail and never be heard from again
ip court. Such weakness, if the authori.
ties are guilty fit, would be fatal
error. 1t would be interpreted by the
rioters as sign of fear, or concession
to their numbers and power. At anoth.
er and more favorable opportunity they
will be ready to repeat the scenes of last
week, unless they get an exemplary pun
jshment now. Governor Robinson has
proved himself equal to the command OF
