Our Hotel Failures.

Says Burleigh" writing to the Bos-
ton Journal: 1 talked yesterday with one
of your leading hotel men. l asked him
how 1t was that so many hotel keepers
in New York failed. About five in one
hundred has escaped financial ruin. He
replied: Two things destroy hotel men
our leases and outside operations. 1t
is either feast or famine with us. Our
expenses are the same whether it blows
high or blows low. We must lease our
premises, or we will be turned out in
the cold. Rents run on whether the sea-
son be good or bad. have one hun
and fifty guests in my house and can ac-
commodate comfortably from three to
five hundred. My house has to be as
fully manned when half full as when
crowded. My rent, fuel, servants, are the
same. My profit comes in from the COM
pany that is over certain point. The
leases that destroy us destroy the great
mercantile houses. Those enormous
rents that do not come down when busi-
ness is dull. There is constant pres
sure from hotel men from without. If
they have balance in the bank from
twenty to thirty thousand dollars it is
soon known. Every device is laid and
pressure brought to bear to induce them
toinvest. There is strong temptation
to lease and run outside hotels, and to
control this or that watering place. Few
men have the capacity to run more than
one hotel at a time.

A Remarkable Career.

Edhem Pasha, the new grand Vizier,
is not good-looking person, if we may
trust his portraits. Two little eyes
turned up, lively and cruel; lips fine
and pressed together, prominent cheek
bones, following out about thin nose
two large bitches which accentuate a
perpetual grin; a chin whose acute
angles are outlined under sparse beard,
and terminating a face strikiDgly lean
and yellow; person who resembles a
combination of the cat, hyena and
vulture. Otherwise he is Greek Tur-
keyfed. He was boy ten years of age
in 1922, when the Turkish hordes of
Mahmoud II ravished the beautiful
island of Chios. He was taken as slave
to Stamboul, where he was sold. From
harem to harem he went until attached
to the seraglio of the famous Chosrew
Pasha. Chosrew discovered the
diabolical intelligence of his slave and
conceived an affection for him. He freed
him, and sent him to Paris to the School
of Mines, where he was entered with a
strange name, and he finally became
tutor of French to the young Sultan
Abd-ul-Medjid. He afterwards rose
rapidly, became Minister. Embasssdor,
and is now Grand Vizier.

Locomotive That Docs Its OtCn
EI1.iS10.

An English mechanic has contrived TO
make steam engine do its own stocking.
A large sheet-iron hopper is set above
the mouth of the furnace and in front
of the boiler. This is the receptacle for
Goals. Below the hopper steel crusher
is made 10 run somewhat rapidly, and
as the Goals fall by reason of their own
gravity upon this grinding apparatus,
they are reduced to the uniform size OF
cob nuts by the action of the crusher.
Thence the equalized fuel drops upon
pair of iron disks, or fans, inclosed in
box, and running in opposite directions
at high velocity. The fans are, in fact,
the furnace-feeders, for, as the box has
but one opening, and that leads to the
fire, they literally blow the Goals into
the latter and distribute them equally
over the whole surface of the fire-bars,
The feed is regulated in quantity, ac-
cording to the heavy or light work the
engine may be doing, by means of
single adjusting set-screw. This is the
automaton stoker. The furnace fires are
fed and steam is kept up in the boiler
without the turning of shovel.

Texas Jack has returned from hunt
in the Sweetwater country with a party
of Englishmen, and has had talk about
it with a writer for the Spirit of the
Times. The game consisted chiefly of
elk, black tailed deer, antelope, and
mountain-sheep. No hostile Indians
were encountered. The only dangerous
brute in the West to hunt, Jack says, is
the bear. He is cunning, swift, and
always ready for a fight. He thinks
that the best place to hunt bears is
where there are not many to be found,
and of the grizzly he says: "He will
stand in the middle of the road, growl-
ing and getting his mad up, when there
isn't live creature within forty miles
of him. If you meet one, and turn out
for him, he will probably leave you alone,
but if you say word, look out for him.
Many time 1 have made some such re-
mark to bear as, Where are you 60
ing, Tommy? when in an instant his
arms would be up, and ready to tear me
to pieces. No, sir, we don't go bear
hunting very much. You see, they can
run as fast as horse, and you have to put
a bullet into just such place to kill
them, and until they are dead they are
dangerous" Jack, in conclusion, tells
this story 81 was out once with party
in Texas, and we came across big Gin
namon bear. A fellow proposed to cap
ture him with lasso. He made good
throw, and got the loop around the
bears neck. When old cinnamon felt it
get tight, what do you think he did? He
just sat up on his launches, felt of the
rope with one paw, and then began pull
ing it in hand over hand. There was a
horse and man fast to the other end of
the rope, but they had to come, both of
them. As for the hunter, he jumped off
and got away, but the bear drew the
nonv ripht I'D to him and killed him."

she ,cas Ko,,ut to the occasion.

Mrs. Mary Patton, of Brooklyn, died
of heart disease, aged forty-one. Mrs.
Patton was the daughter of well-to-do
retired shipmaster of East Boston. Her
education was as thorough as liberal
means could procure. At the age of
seventeen she married an old schoolmate,
Captain Patton, who at that time had
command of the newly launched clipper
ship Neptune's Car, then bound on a
circumnavigatien OF the globe. Mrs.
Patton's wedding tour was therefore an
extended one. 1t comprehended seven
teen months tour of the universe, dun
ing which, under the tuition of her hus-
band, and to beguile the tedium of long
voyages, she learned navigation. Upon
the return of Neptune's Car to this
country, she (the vesseD was put into
the California trade between New York
and San Francisco. In August 1856,
he cleared from New York with about
100000 worth of cargo. During the
voyage out, and while still in Atlanta,
Capt. Patton deposed the first officer for
an attempt to incite disafection among
the seamen. The other two officers were
ill, and the care of the vessel devolved
entirely upon the Captain, who was, soon
after leaving the harbor, disabled by a
malarial disease contracted in the East.
Unwilling to trust the perfdious mate
with the command of these vessels, Mrs.
Patton determined to assume control Of
affairs herself. She first called the crew
together and briefly explained the state
of things to them, at the same time
avowing her resolve to command the
ship. Thereafter she took all the obser-
.vations, kept the reckoning, shaped the
courses, and in short, brought the vessel
into San Francisco on November 19,
1856, delivering the valuable cargo
safely into the hands of the consignees.

HOW ELLIDA CAUGHT THE
ROBBER.

I was at school in Lausanne, when one
evening, which was very cold and
gloomy, we girls could not amuse our
selves in the garden as usual, and SO had
recourse, not without some grumbling, to
our customary pastime on such occa-
sions.
We gathered in ring around the
empty stove, and We'd with each other
in relating the most fearful stories which
we could recall. Ours was Swiss
boarding-school, and my schoolfellows
came principally from Finland, and
many tale could they tell of terrible
sledge-drives over the snow and of
fights with wild wolves and robbers.
Huddled close together, and scarcely
daring to look around, we listened to the
following narrative, related by one of
the Finlanders, girl of some fifteen
years of age, who had been requested by
general acclamation 10 open our meet
ing:
"When my mother was living" COM
menced Ellida Ruhlfeldt, speaking in
bad French, with a strong Finnish &C.
cent-"when my mother was living, we
were still in the old house at Tornea,
close to the saw-mill which was situated
in the middle of pine-forest.
The house was only little distance
from the saw-mill, which stood in the
same yard but as this corner was nearly
filled up with piles of sawn planks
awaiting shipment to England and
France, it took some time to cross it to
reach the mill.
son one occasion my father had gone
10 Ulesborg to remain for a week, in
order to transact his business, and my
mother was left with only myself and
the maid-servant in the house. My
mother had been always noted for hel
courage, but this time she felt anxious
and fearful.
"At the time there was band oi
robbers collected together in the north
of Finland, headed by a man named
Peskoff, and they were not pleasant
neighbors, as may be supposed, especially
in our poor Finland, where there are SC
few police.
Anyhow, one dark, stormy evening
in the time mentioned, which was the
early Autumn, /, from my little bed ir
an inner room, heard my mother say tc
the maid, Gerta, if any one knocks al
the door tonight, slip out directly by the
back way, and run as fast as you car
across the deal-yard, and summon two OF
three of the saw-nill workmen.' Ii
Finland, during the summer season, the
saw-mills know no rest by day or night

mother went, for perhaps the fifth tim,
that evening, into the study, where sh,

sum of money in his bureau.

HOW WE GaOW Old.

A broken toy 4 task that held away
A yearniDg child-heart from an hour Of play;
A Christmas that no Christmas idols brought;
tangled lesson, full Of tangled thought;
A home-sick boy !; q senior gowned and wise;
A glimpse of life, when 10 the curtains rise
Fold over fold
And hangs the picture, like beundless sea
The world, all action and reality
So we grow old.
A wedding, and a tender wife's caress
A prattling babe aud parents life to bless;
A home of joys and cares in equal part;
A dreary watching with heavy heart;
And Deaths dread angel knocking at the gate,
And Hope and Courage bidding Sorrow wait
To loose her bold;
A new-made grave, and then brave return
To where the fires of life triumphant burn
So we grow old.
A fortune and gen'rous need Of fame,
Or direful ruin and tarnished name,
A slipping Of of week and month and year,
Faster and faster as the close draws near;
A grief to-day, and with to-morrow's light
A pleasure that transforms the sullen night
From lead to gold
A chilling winter of unchanging storm;
spring replete with dawns and sunsets warm,
So we grow old.
Old to ourselves, but children yet to be
In the strange cities of eternity.

Sugar supplies.
a

There is thriftless negligence in this
country, in failing to provide abun-
dainty an article 90 necessary as sugar,
and in leaving the demand for it un-
supplied to the extent of one million
dollars annually, which has to be sent
out of the country to procure the deficit
in production to meet home consump-
tion. All our applied resources with in
considerable exceptions, are from the
cane and maple.producing districts,
south and north. Still an enormous de-
fciency exists, which can be met with
out risk and with certain proof, by
means that have been thoroughly tested
and proven to be effectual. We refer to
the beet culture and manufacture, which
is thoroughly understood in Europe, and
known 10 be a reliable resource for sugar.
All the processes have become as familiar
and certain as in any other industrial
department, so that as new business in
this country, it is matter of plain and
sure calculation to be entered upon with
the usual prudence.
Ameeting of Californian and Northern
men who propose to move in the matter
was held in Philadelphia recently, and
the testimony of leading foreign agri-
culturists collected, which sets the under
taking in a most favorable light. Ac-
cording to Mr.. George NJ. Powell, from
ten to twenty tons of beets can be raised
to the acre, which, at six dollars per ton,
would pay the farmer twice as well as
wheat. He also stated that the refuse
from the factory using five hundred
acres of beets would be equal for stock
feeding to five hundred acres of hay.
Such a factory should produce about
eight hundred and twenty tons of sugar
and one hundred tons of syrup. Capital
invested in this way should pay about
25 per cent,

And light my pipe in silence sigh that seems

And to dream the old dreams over is a luxury d.

When my truant fancies wander with that old
sweetheart of mine.
Tho hear beneath my study, like huttering of
The voices of my children and the mother as she

In fact, to speak in Garnet, 1 believe it adds

That makes me drink the deeper to that old sweet

A face of lily beauty and form of airy grace
Floats out of my tobacco as the gen from the vase
And thrill beneath the glances Of a pair of azure
eyes
As glowing the summer and gentle as the skies
She wore the time kissed her, when she answered
the caress-
And her written declaration that, I" as surely as

But write the tender verses that she set the music

And the birds singing for that old sweet

And should be her lover forever and day,
And she my loving sweetheart till the golden hair
was gray;
And we should be so happy that when either's lips
were dumb,
They wouldn't smile in heaven till the others kiss
had come.
All, well my dream is broken by step upon the

And the door is softly opened and my wife is stand

There was curious comedy of errors
that came near being tragedy. at San
Francisco, recently. A sailor returned
from sea and found his young wife
fondling a baby. Without giving her
time to say that the child was neigh
boris, he knocked her down and then
tried to throw her from the window.
A crowd gathered below and the man
stabbed his wife in the back, jumped
from the window and escaped unhurt.
But some of the crowd had entered the
house, and, going to the wrong room,
awoke a sleeper, who emptied his revol-
yer on them, but was dragged to the
street, and was just being hanged to a
lamp post, when the mistake was ascer-
tained, but not before rib or two was
broken by the mob. The woman was
not much hurt and is anxious to have
her husband find out his mistake and
return.

The rumor that Brigham Young, jr.,
is to plant colony of five hundred Nor
mons in the Mexican State of Sonora is
not improbable. Last spring a recon-
noissance was..made by the agents of the
Mormon prophet into Arizona with the
avowed purpose of fixing some perma-
nent settlements there, and number of
families from Utah have since settled in
that Territory. There is now chain of
Mormon villages extending from Bear
River south-westward to Arizona. 1t
has long been foreseen by the leaders that
the resources of Utah are insufficient to
sustain so large a population as their
hopes and ambition lead them to an
ticipate, even in the present generation.
They must have more room. The bleak
and barren region of the north of Salt
Lake presents no inducements; the
south offers good climate, rich soil and an
abundance of water and timber.

SINCE the first of February until the
close of Congress, the widow of Presi-
dent Tyler has attended every meeting
of the Commission and the joint sessions
of the two Houses. In person, Mrs.
Tyler is short, plump, well-preserved
brunette, and still wears the deep
mourning and widows cap for her hus'
band. By special act the franking
privilege was once conferred on her, and
all the repeals and reforms on postal af-
fairs have left this courtesy unques'
toned.
