GLE heSA u.

About century and half ago the in
dustrious little place of Gersau was en-
riehed by the invention of the spinning of
foss-silk, branch of industry which it
still pursues, and from which it gains not
merely comfortable livelihood, but even
wealth. Gersau is also interesting on
several other accounts, the most impor-
tant of which is that from 1859 to the end
of the last century it was an entirely
independent, free State. In those times it
was not a little proud of being permitted
to erect a tall conspicuous gallows, as o
token of its independence and of its pos
sessing its own criminal jurisdiction. The
lions were all taken one by one, but no one
paid any heed to the little bee in its nook
on the lake, until the Man of Corsica came
and forced it to yield its honey. Another
of it's special features has long since ceased
to exist, unfortunately for the artist, who
might have found in it numerous subjects
for his pencil. This was the singular in
stitution called the "Gaunerkilbi, or
Thieves Festival, which was held here
annually on the first Sunday after the
Ascension. All the doubtful characters Of
the Observation-Disclosures, gypsies, men,
women, and Children streamed hither
from all parts, to the number of several
hundred, and formed strange motley
encampment in the meadows, where they
feasted like swarm of locusts On the
Monday they appeared dressed in their
very best, and gave themselves up to
dancing, and more money changed hands
in the course of the day than the wealthiest
of the young peasants could afford to
spend. On Tuesday they all hurried away
away, and soon after there was not a trace
of them to be seen anywhere. London

see where he gets the worth of his money
let him visit few of the fashionable wa
tering places at this season. AtNewport
he will find thirty-seven gorgeous naval
otlicers-commodores, lieutenant COM
manders, captains, paymasters, rear
admiral or two, while at Old Point Com
fort, Saratoga, Long Branch, and other
haunts of national invalids, the list is re-
duplicated. When the inclement
season sets in, these same
gilt-button gentry throng the fashionable
hotels of Washington and New York and
faithfully discharge their duties towards
an admiring country by drawing their
pay regularly and giving tone to society.
OF all the snobs in a snobbish world the
American naval officer is the greatest
snob. A young cadet with a Brevet Mid
dy's warrant in prospect looks down with
contempt upon bronzed General in the
regular army, while Lieutenant Com
mander, who "has sailed the seas over
and flirted by moonlight with the mere
tricious beauties of European seaports,
regards himself as of a higher lineage
than any of his fellow-men, unless per
chance they are brethren in arms. The
support of this useless and aristocratic
class costs the American people three
times as much as is annually appropri-
ated for the support of British Royalty.

A IL ON
the train

Emily V. Mason was reputed to be the
most beautiful woman in the Northwest.
Her family were patrician and all her asso-
Citations were elevated. In 1888, when her
father was Secretary of the Territory of
Michigan, she enjoyed politicians we'll as
social distinction, and later, when Mchi-
gan was erected into State, her brother,
Stevens T. Mason, became the first Cover
nor, and she presided over the household
and dispensed liberal and graceful hos
pitality. The gubernatorial mansion was

head of the society of the Wolverine me.
tropolis.
While Miss Mason was discharging the
duties of first lady of the State, Major
Lewis Cass was at West Point. During
his vacations he visited his home and was
thrown much into the society of the bril-
liant Emily. He was younger than she,
and if he was smitten by her beauty and
accomplishments he never summoned the
courage to propose.
The sudden death of Gov. Mason and
the breaking up of the Mason homestead
and the reverse that followed obliged Miss
Mason to lock about for means of support.
She was girl of proud, independent
spirit, and with the remains of her proper
ty she purchased market farm in Fairfax
county, Va, and began business like practi-
cal woman. She developed energy and COM
mercial foresight, and soon enjoyed abuud.
ant prosperity. She supported herself and
her orphaned nieces in elegant style,
worked hard, and acquired competence.
At the outbreak of the civil war her
home was one of the most delightful in all
Virginia, and she was enabled to devote q
considerable portion of time to literature.
The war, however, scattered her fortune
to the winds, and left her all but destitute.
She was now fully matured woman, over
40 years of age, strong, resolute, and ener-
getic. Driven from her home, she went
to Richmond and became nurse in the
hospitals. The Federal prisoners who
came under her ministrations were objects
of her especial care.
On the close of the war she devoted her.
self to the education of Southern orphans,
and published several works of an educa.
tional character She dwelt in Washington
for while, and her home in Pennsylvania
avenue was the resort of some of the most
brilliant men and women of the capital
She occupied position in one of the Gov
ernment offices for time, and everywhere
commanded respect and admiration. She
finally took up her residence in Paris.
Many years before this Major Cass had
established himself in the French capital,
and had become Frenchman in his tastes
and methods of life. The two met, and
the concealed passion of early years, re-
kindled in the breast of the old gentleman
and led him to offer Miss Mason his hand
and fortune, but she said that she had re-
solved never to marry, and the Major
asked her to do him the honor of granting
him her friendship. Then until his death,
which occurred rather suddenly, Miss Ma
son was his companion in that friendship
in which the French in the decline of life
know so well how to associate, and she
| closed his eyes and took charge of his re-
mains. Under the terms of his will his
body was embalmed and brought to
Michigan. A plain tomb to cost 5000 will
mark the resting place of Lewis Cass, the
self-expatriated descendant of Michigan's
greatest son. The will of Major Cass be-
queathed to Miss Mason $4,000, three
diamond rings which the testator dearly
priced, and made her the joint executrix

A FARMER MAKES A TELEscoPE.-The Co
lumba MO- Herald of the 11th inst says:
Professors Bryant Ficklin, Lowery and
Newland on Tuesday night last visited the
telescope invented and manufactured by
Mr.. R. B. Cans, farmer, residing several
miles north OF Columbia. After quite a
number of observations, fully testing the
merits of the instrument, they pronounced
it in all respects one of the best telescopes
in the country-for its size-the object glass
being but six inches-it probably has no
superior. 1t is better instrument than
the one used in the University Observatory.
The workmanship upon it is admirable. 1t
is certainly remarkable that Mr.. Cans, a
farmer, who makes no pretentions to scien-
tiiic learning, should have thus, unaided,
constructed one of the most complicated of
scientific instruments, equal in workman
ship and magnifying power to those of the
most skillful and accomplished artisans

THE COST OF NAVAL BUTTONS.

The American people derive no little
qualification and self graduation in the
quarterly or semi-anual publication of
the cost of royalty to the oppressed people
OF the old world. Great Britain is es-
pccially cited as an example where
enormous subsidies are voted for the sup
port of those who are "born in the
purple" From the Queen down to her
fourth cousins and cousins-german, the
demand for pensions or annuities is
promptly and very literally responded to
by Parliament. We laugh and feer at
the foolish ass, the British people, who
remain docile under such burden.
But the people of the United States
are and have been for years carrying a
load heavier than that of royalty
from which no returns are had,
tlattering to our pride or conducive to
our prosperity. From $23,O0O,O0O to
$27, 900, 900 are annually appropriated for
naval expenses, for which the country
has no navy to show, except few un-
scaworthy vessels and dilapidated navy
yards But if the taxpayer wants to

FAR WEST prices remind us Of the
quotations of ante-bellum days before the
railroad had penetrated every part OF the
country. The immense crops have glut-
ted the markets till the figures which
farm products command, though COM
forting to consumers, are rather depres-
sing to the farming interests. The COM
fort lies in the fact that though the prices
are low every farmer has a great deal to
sell. Here are some market quotations
in Leavenworth, Kansas: Wheat from IS
to 65 cents per bushel; potatoes, 20 to 25
cents per bushel; eggs, 6 to 8 cents per
dozen; butter, 10 to Is cents per pound ;
corn, % to 80 cents per bushel oats, 26
