Tug New York Eraing Post takes ground
against the appointment of any more lieu
tenants in the army from civil life. 1t
does seem as though West Point, with all
its costly machinery and large graduating
classes, should furnish all the new officers
needed by our skeleton Of an army. No
further selections, at least, should be made
until the roster Of West Point graduates
i. .rxhnnsted.

"But il Foster is elected, won't it help
Sherman?"~
"As Republican, yes; as a candidate
before the Convention, no. l tell you the
people are not looking at John Sherman
at all. There will be two strong names
before the Republican Convenlion-Grant
and Blaine-and one OF them will be that
Of the next President"
"Why, then, is Sherman working so
hard in Maine?"
because he is a Republican, and
naturally seeks the success Of his party.
II Maine were to be lost it would effect
Ohio, and defeat there would be hard
blow to Republicanism."
"Isn't Blaine played out physically"
"Played out! Nonsense. He's chuck
full Of life and magnetism. He was never
better in his life. Why, he is stronger in
every way to-day than he was when he
had within fraction Of majority in tho

An Honest Confession.

OF Gen. Albert Sydney John
son it is related that one day in
Utah when his command was
two days distant from a mailing
station, he found that a captain
had returned to camp forgetting
to post a letter which the Gem
eral had entrusted to him. But
all the commander said was: 81
can imagine no excuse for such
carelessness, Captain Not
long after, the General himself
discovered in a winter coat,
which had been packed away, a
letter which a long time before
he had received from the sur
geon, with the request that be
post it,. He had taken it to the
station, forgotten to post it, and
it had remained in the pocket
for six months. The conscien-
tious General first apologlzed
to the surgeon and then he sent
for the captain and said: 81
beg your pardon for reproving
you for an offence in which !
myself set the example" !"

Railway Sleepers of Glass.

A novel use for glass has re-
Gently been found, and SO far il
answers well; viz: as sleepers
for tramway lines. Soon after
De la Bastile introduced his
method of toughening glass, Mr..
r. Siemens, of Dresden, COM
menced a series of researches
which have eliminated at pres
ent in the production of a very
hard glass, which unlike the ma
.terial produced by the De Ia
Bastile method, does not fly into
a million fragments when broken.
The sleepers, which are being
tested on the North Metropolitan
line of England, at Stratford,
are three feet long and four inch
es wide, by six inches deep, the
upper side being shaped to fiji
the rails. The glass sleepers are
not so strong as those cut from
sound pine, but practically they
are indestructible, and, what il
more, are cheap.

The Trade in Time-Pieces.

Galignana's Messenger fur
nishes the following statistics
with regard to the manu- facture
Iof clocks and watches. Wheth-
kcr the figures are trustworthy
or not, we are not prepared to
say. France is placed at the
head Of the list, and is credited
the production of chronometers,
watches, time-pieces, cl o C k s,
annually to the value of 65,-
100000, francs; h N comes
Switzerland, with watches, Co.,
100000 francs; America, in
watches and Dutch clocks, 3d.
100000 francs; England, chro-
nometers and watches, 10000
900 francs; Austria, time-pieces,
20, 900, 900 francs; Germany, in
time pieces and a few thousands
of watches, 25,000,0o0 francs.
These figures give total con-
siderably over200, 100000 francs
for the whole watch and clock
making trade of the world. The
amount assumes the greater inn
portance when the tact is re-
marked that, differing from
nearly all other business, the
raw material enters so slightly
into the prime cost, the princi-
pal expenditure being most ex-
clusiyely in labor. The approx
innate number Of articles pro-
duced is as follows: France, a.
bout 1000, 900 pieces annually;
Germany turns out more, some
100000, but they are of a
much inferior average price.
The same may be said of the
American manufacture, which
provides commerce every year
with 100000 or 800,0J0 objects.
As far as watches are concerned,
Switzerland heads the list with
an annual production of l,500,-
900. France follows with 500,-
600; the United States produces
from 100000 70 $50, 900, and
England some 100000, but these
are very superior quality. The
enormous total is that 100000
watches and 100000 time
pieces are annually dispersed to
the four quarters of the globe.

Law Of Railroad Depots.

L ialIOflnS ana stalrWays aDOul
a railroad station have often Civ
en- rise to lawsuits, where the sta
tion-master has allowed them to
Iget out of repair or into bad con-
dition and a trayelerh has been hurt
lin consequence. While Andrew
johnson was President, he made
a trip over the Pennsylvania
road, and wherever the train
stopped people gathered to look
at him and get a speech. AT
Johnstown the station platform
broke down under the weight of
the unusual crowd. One of the
persons that was hurt sued the
company, and proved that the
platform was old and the TIM
bers rotten. The Court inquir-
led whether he had come to the
station to take the train, and he
said, No; he was only there to
see the President. The Court
SAID if that were the case, he
had no ground to sue, for the
company was not bound to keep
a strong platform for sight-seers.
But he said, if any passengers
were injured by the defect, or
even a person who had come to
meet a passenger or to see one
off he could recover damages.
A station master ON the New
Jersey Railroad allowed a hole
in the floor of his station plat
form to go unmended, until one
day lady passenger, on alight-|
ing from the cars, caught her
foot in it and fell and was badly
hurt. AT Wells River depot
there was a fight of steps at the
platform. The depot-master did
not keep the stairway lighted
properly at night, and lady
passenger who had come to take
a night train, in cropping about in
the dark to find her way, fell
down the steps and hurt her hip
so she became a cripple for life.
The Court said in both these ca
ses, atthe companies must pay.
AT one of the stations ofthe New
York Elevated road the people
in charge allowed the steps and
platforms to get icy, from rain
and snow freezing; and a pas
senger slipped, fell and was per-
manently hurt, so badly that the
jury gave him $4,000 damages.
The judges said that this was
right. The agents of railroad
companies must take more than
mere ordinary care in keepingf
their floors and platforms in a
safe condition for passengers;
they are bound to use call such
reasonable precautions against
injury as human sagacity and
foresight can suggest" /" They
are bound to be on the alert dur
ing cold weather to see whether
there is ice on the platform, and
to remove it or make it safe by
sanding it or putting ashes upon
it, or in some other manner.
And SO in a variety of other in
stances, the companies have had
to pay heavy damages to passen-
gers, because the platforms were
neglected. -Railroad Gazette.

A Turkish Tribe.

Last month a Turk, Fem Pa
sha, Governor of Banjaluka, with
twelve wives, children and a
guard of eunuchs, arrived in VI
emma and took lodgings at the
Hotel Daniel. Three wives were
put in a room, with a guard of
two eunnchs at each door. 1t
took a whole day to complete
the registration of the party at
Police Headquarters. The most
of the wives were real beauties
wearing their raven black hair
closely cut and dyeing their fin
ger nails. Under the Austrian
law these ladies were entitled to
their personal freedom, and the
German reporter naively says,
Is1f they only knew it. Each
eunuch carried a gun on one
arm and a baby on he other.

Pious Plunderers.

Washington Post: The scoun-
drels who managed the Freed
mems bank and robbed the con-
fiding negroes of their little say
ings, aggregated into an i'm
mense sum, cut the eliminating
proof of their guilt out of the
books of the Institution. This
is what Senator Bruce discovers
in his work of investigation.
Yet when those rascals were
stealing the funds and Inutila-
ting the books they gave much
of their time to fervent prayer
that the Lord would bless the
poor benighted negro and curse
the "wicked rebels" Itmay be
that they had fair claim to the
money in payment for their
prayers.

EXTRAORDINARY ELOPE-
MENT.
A Brother and Sister Run Away,
and are Made Husband
and Wife.

VANDALIA,I ILL.,, October 49,
A young and respectable-look.
ling couple, brother and sister
named Fred and Lauise Rauck-
mann, son and daughter of a re-
spectacle farmer, ,residing inLone
Grove Township, about twenty
miles from this city, boarded the
train a few days ago, went to St.
Louis and were made husband
and wife.
They remained in the city a
day or two, then returned home
ward, getting off the train at
Brownstown, a station eight
miles from this place, and for
fear of being detected, wandered
out in the woods near town, and
remained there until found and
arrested by a constable.
The man is about twenty-one
years Of age, and Of good APP
pearance, and his sister nineteen,
and drather good looking. When
asked why he was induced to
commit such an act he said:
"My sister loved me SO well we
thought the best thing we could
do would be to get married."
He was further asked if he
did not know it was wrong and
against the law to do so, and al
SO why they hid themselves in
the woods and kept away from
their parents. This he answered
by saying, eve did not know it
was wrong, and only hid in the
woods for fear of being discov-
cred by our folks, as they were
very much opposed to our mar
Fylhg.
Their parents are very respec-I
table folks,andAare sadly grievedI
over the unparalleled act of their
children. They were tried this
afternoon, found guilty and were
bound over, the mans bond be-
ing fixed at $500, and the wo-
mans at $500, in default of
they were committed to
the county Jail. The affair has
created great excitement.

The Poetry of Iron.

1
There is a wonderful fascina.
ton about iron works and iror
workers. Novelists have made
them the scenes and heroes of
their stories; poets have made
them the theme of deathless song,
We sing Of the forge of Tuba
Cain; and Hector swore "by the
forge that stithied Mars helm, .
but the other trades are passed
over. When did poets, in lofty
numbers, sing of the carpenter
lathiDg a back room on the Sec
ond floor? Who chants the
brawny arms and the thrilling
deeds of a man climbing a four
story ladder with hod of NOR
tar? Does anybody stand with
rapt emotion and watch a pain
ter putty up nail hole? /
would not exchange my one hour
at night in the iron works at
Ashland for a whole week watch
ing a man mix mortar with hoe.
Why, these iron works surround
the Ashlanders with enough ro-
nance to last a Western COM
munity at least six weeks. And
yet / suppose there are people
about here who never saw a nail
made in their lives. I've known
times in my own eminently use
fll and highly ornamental career,
times when / was trying TO nail
a front gate to a leather hinge,
when / wished there had never
been a nail made anywhere by
anybody. And / watched them
as they fell from the ponderous
machines, fast as raindrops, and
it seemed to me as / watched
them fall that / could hear the
dull, treacherous thud of a ham
mer on the human thumb, the
long wall of a woman's anguish,
"the big, big D' of a young man
in his agony. These strange,
weird feelings and fancies rush
ed into my mind like a torrent.
