As had been expected Hon. Q. G. Washburn
appeared in the city yesterday morning, and
the reporter Immediately hunted him up for
the purpose of interviewing him upon the
question of rebuilding. He down at the
ruins when found and gives the following state
ment: He says the Was.lburn 'A' mill cost,
with the land upon which it stood $3.50, GOO.
The lot alone he said was worth $50, 000 The
total loss on mill and machinery he set down
at 1890, 900. If the wheels and pits are all
right tho loss will probably be reduced to
$300,00 The insurance upon the property
was $175,5 500. About 100000 of this amount
was written by Chicago agencies.
REBUILDING BIG MILL.
Mr.. Wasburn says the big mill will lie
rebuilt without delay. The running capacity
will be equal to if not greater than before. The
new structure will not, however, be built SO
high but will be great improvement upon
the old. Probably a different system of manu-
featuring fonr will be adopted, j. e. using
more hand labor and less machinery.
During the meantime the B mill will be
completed and enlarged to forty run ofsstone,
equal in capacity to the mill.
In reference to the elevator he said the struc-
ture cost $63, 900, and had capacity of 800, 600
bushels, of which 100000 was allotted to the
various millers, and 100000 reserved for stor-
age purposes.
AS an investment it had never paid, but if
the millers really desired it he would rebuild,
with a capacity equal to the one destroyed.

OUR OWN ATMOSPHERIC,

eve carry our own atmosphere with us, I"
said certain wise man, to the temporary
discontinue of his fellows--before they
had time to reason the matter out. But is
it not so? A certain something resemblil G
an atmosphere attaches itself to the pres
ence, character and influence of every man.
1t is comparatively slight with some and
strong with others, according to tempera-
ment, knowledge and will-power; just as
the physical air may either be impercepti-
BILE in its effect, or may freeze or may
burn; may gently breathe as zephyr, or
may rush and roar as q gale. Those who
are with us feel an influence in our very
presence which impresses them unfavora-
bly,; and we, in turn, are drawn or repealed
by their silent qualities as well as by their
spoken words. A glance, a motion, is q
revelation. One man, in look, tone, and
gesture, and manner, suggests intellect and
learning another sagacity and wisdom;
another courage and resolution; another
patience and endurance; another gentleness
and love; another indignation and severity.
The instant we approach certain persons
we feed elevated, encouraged, inspired,
purifsd but when we draw near other
characters, there is an effluence of evil quail
ties, and we at once begin to be depressed
in thought and feeling, to be lowered in the
whole tone of our minds, and to be meas
urably incapacitated for high resolve and
noble endeavor. What boon if, in the
latter case, we are free to change COM
pany. Nothing can be worse than en-
forced companionship - duty enforced
with nature lower than our own.

GOOD TIMES IN SIAM.

Everybody in Bangkok is up early, and
the liyeliest part of the day is at sunrise
Hundreds of boats are on the river and
thousands of people in the streets; con-
spicuous in the crowds, both on 1and and
water, at this hour are the Buddhist priests,
who are then on their begging rounds.
They go from house to house to ask for
food in the form of cook rice; but contri-
buttons are SO liberal that 10000 priests
are thus supported in Bangkok, and great
many poor people are fed at the temples
from what is left when the priests have
had their fill. Nobody need starve in Siam;
ifhe is hungry and hard up, he can go to
the nearest temple and lodge and eat there
as long as he likes. The privilege extends
to everybody, whatever his religious belief,
and the thought is consoling to wanderer
who considers the possibility of losing
his letter of credit Or failing to receive his
remittances. The comforts of Siamese
temple are not great, as the floor is hard
and furniture scarce; boiled rice becomes
monotonous after time, but then it is far
better than no food at all.

UNDEIEC ROUND TELEGRAPH
WIRES,

The use of underground wires is as yet in
its infancy. Expensive as such wires are in
first cost compared with everground wires,
their advantage cannot be too strongly in
sisted on. An extention OF the uses of the
telegraph which made it feasible to more
largely use underground wires would alone
be of great moment. Among some of the
advantages of these wires the following may
be named: They are not easily liable to be
cut or destroyed purposely or by accident.
The destruction of telegraph wires incident
al to railway accidents frequently largely
adds to the calamity of the situation. In
cases of popular disturbances and for pri-
vate sinister ends, oyergreund wires are at
the mercy of those who choose to do them
injury. Again, underground wires are in
, measure free from the capricious infiu-
ences of the atmosphere. There are at
present in Great Britain 394 miles of lines
of pipe containing 7,948 miles of gutta-
pereha- a-covered wire. Recent discoveries
of the decay of the gutta- -percha in lines
which have been laid for some years have
checked the extention of the system in
Great Britain, pending careful examina-
l. ton into the subject which is now being
made by Prof. Abel. In Germany the use
of the underground wires has largely in
creased. Last year line was laid from
Berlin to Halle, distance of 105 English
miles. Great interest is felt in this line,
as it is in many respects of novel con,
struction. have been supplied with the
following description of it: "The core
consisted of copper strand weighing 6E
pounds per mile, covered with gutta.
pereha of the same weight, making the
total 1870 pounds per mile. Seven of these
wires were twisted together, and then
covered with yarn saturated with tar, the
whole being covered with 16 galvanized
iron wires 016G inch diameter The
cable was made in sections 800 metres in
length, and each section was coiled on @
wooden reel from which it was uncoiled into
trench one metre in depth cut on one side
of the public road. When SO laid it was
covered with bituminous layer of con-
densed coal tar.-ST Julius Vogel, IN

themselvesa feat foolhardy enough to be
the better for an extra portion of discre-
ton. They call for oil the help they can
get, SO they should never neglect the adzan-
tege of novelty in the chosen play. The
interest the spectators feel in the unfolding
of the plot may thus be reflected upon the
actors. In the second place, it is the duty
of the amateur to choose as short play as
possible. A piece in one act is far less
likely to fatigue thespeetators than piece in
five acts. And the shortness is a great
boon to the amateur who lacks many things
needed in long play-the knowledge, for
instance, of how to use his voice without
fatigue. There is no limit to the variety
of the subject and style to be found within
the compass of one act; you can have
comedy, farce, burlesque, extravaganza,
drama, opera, and even tragedy-and all in
Que brief act One of the most effective
situations in the modern drama of France,
a situation SO striking that it has been
stolen half dozen times, there is to be
found in play in one act "La Joie fait
Peur," of Nine. de Girardin. The list Of
French plays, with their English eqdiva-
lents, contains wide range of subjects,
from the low comedy Of Gun Sourd," to
the high comedy of "Le Pc itscriptum," p"
from the simplicity of 'L'ete de 10 st.
Martin" to the intense emotion and anxiety
of "a Wolf in Sleeps Clothing" Most of
the plays are admirably adapted for anna
teur acting; the characters are well marked,
the dialogue is flowing and in general not
exciting. and the scenery and mounting
can easily be co,npassed by little inge-
nuity and perseverance. Indeed, the
scene is in most cases laid in parlor, with
the costumes of everyday life. Now, IL
such costume and in such scenes, a'd in
: short plays like these, the amateur is seen
at his best. When he is ambitious and
tries to do "Hamlet'' or the 'Tady oi
Lyons" or even ",The Hunchback" OF
'"rhe Honeymoon" he is seen at hi'
worst. And when the amateur is bad, it il
often because he is bumptious. All anna
teurs are not bumptious, and all amateurs
therefore are not bad. And amateurs
who are not bad because they are no
bumptious wisely and modestly guag'
their own strength, and refuse inconti
nently to do battle with any ponderou
monster in five cts-S:ribner's Monthly.

1t often happens that amateur fisher
men in this country catch a great deal
more fish than they need for present use.
Such may be glad to know the follow
ing easy method of preserving it recon-
mended by a high scientific authority,
M. dAmelis: 'The flesh, raw or boiled,
and cut in slices Gf the promptest results
are desired), is placed in bath formed of
ordinary water and citric acid. in quantity
sufficient to make it strongly acid After
two or three hours the piece is removed
and subjected to moderate artificial heat, or
left in the open air till dry dhe former
takes about one hour, the latter five OR six.
The flesh can now be kept for years in any
place. To restore its fexibility all that is
needed is to keep it three or four days in
fresh water. Entire fish may be pre-.
served in this way after removal of the
intestines."

lTAROUN ALHASOHID.

The Caliph Haroun Alraschid was un-
doubtedly one of the greatest princes that
ever reigned, and his temper was in gen.
eral merciful and generous; but one action
of dreadful and unrelenting cruelty must
ever remain an indellible stain upon his
memory. Giafar, his vizier, of the noble
family of Bermeki, was esteemed the most
eloquent orator, the best writer, and the
finest gentleman in the empire. The
caliph delighted in his company, and made
him partner in all his amusements. The
prince had at the same time an amiable
sister, named Abassa, in whose converse
ton he took uncommon pleasure. The
company of his favorites the caliph wished
to enjoy together. But this etiquette of
Eastern courts denied, as nothing but an
alliance with the royal family could give
Giafar the privilege Of entering the inner
apartments. To remove this obstacle,
Alraschid had recourse to a singular ex-
pedient. He gave Abassa to Giafar IN
marriage, butstrictly enjoined him never to
approach her but in his presence.
Under this painful restraint they for
some time lived. But nature at length
proved too powerful for the caliph's COM
mands. They deceived his vigilance, and
Abassa became mother A female slave
betrayed the secret, and Abassa was driven
with ignominy from the royal palace, re-
ddced to wander in the most wretched at
tire, and to beg charity Of the meanes.
subject of her unrelenting brother. Giafa1
was beheaded. His family, his dependents,
his domestics, were imprisoned, butchered,
and prescribed; and death was denounced
against every person who dared to mention
the family name.
Yet such was the veneration in which
; the Bermecides had been held by all ranks,
that absolute as the ca1iph was, his COM
mands were here disregarded. An old
man named Mondir; who during their
prosperity had received from them many
favors, went every day to the deserted
dwelling of the unhappy Giafar, where,
from mound of ruins, he expatiated to
thousands of grateful hearers ON the vir'
tues and benifeence of these illustriouf
men.
The caliph, in rage, at last ordered
Mondir to be brought before him, and com
manded him to instant death. The ole
man did not complain of the sentence; h
begged only to speak few words befor'
he died, The caliph consented. Mondi
made no apology; he promised no chang
of sentiments, and he asked not for mercy
But he enlarged upon the benevolence o
those unfortunate noblemen with sucl
pathetic eloquence that even the caliph wa
at length touched and he not only par
doned the man, but gave him a goldel
plate, which was placed before him; O.
receiving which, Mondir prostrating himsel
before the caliph:
"Behold, says he, "even in this ne7
: favor from the noble Berrnecides !"

A SHORT CoURTsmp.-The Omaha (Neb J
Republican Of tho 22d ult. says; Bernard
Volk is well-to-do farmer, living in Addi-
son County Iowa. He is a native of Ger
many and is twenty-five years of age. He
visited Omaha on Tuesday single man, with
no intention of committing matrimony,
and before night he was married to young
lady whom he had never before seen. Ii
happened in this wise: He imbibed quite
freely of liquor, and in this happy condition
he made up his mind to hunt up wife. In
walking along Tenth street he saw young
girl washing in a room between Farnam
street and No. Engine-house, and, walking
up to her as she was, he asked her if she
was married, and, if not, would she marry
him? She saw that he meant business. and
calling in the other women in the house,
they made an immediate investigation into
his ability to support wife. He showed
them that he had considerable ready casl'
with him, and good farm in Iowa She
gave her consent, and, proceeding to the
office of Hon. w. o. Bartholomew, County
Judge, license was obtained, and Bernard
Volk and Annie Fisher were made man and
wife. The bride is nineteen years of age,
and was born in Sioux City, Iowa"
