IT is singular fact that fifteen of the
ladies connected with the present Diplo,
matte Corps at Washington arc Ameri-
can girls whose beauty and diplomacy
captured distinguished husbands. Among
the number are the wives of the French,
Italian, Guatemalan and Turkish minis.
ters and many others Of lesser rank, in.
cluding Mrs. Yung Wing, of thc Chinese
Legation. who was Miss Bartlett OF
Connecticut. In the Diplomatic Corps
of Europe there are also several Amsri.
can ladies, such as the wife OF the TIA lian
Minister at the Hague and cthers.-
Whether American women have a pc.
culiar pcnchant for diplomacy or diplo,
matists for them, Is difficult question 10
decide. AT all events, diplomacy is a
career for which our women seem TO be
admirably adapted. They have also
broken down the excluslveness of heredi.
tary aristocracy, and some Of them are
connected with the eldest noblo families
OF Epglan and the Continent. Preyerb.
ial as is their beauty, their natural grace
and dignity OF manner and their intel,i,
genee are no less striking.

REPoKTING BY MACHINERY.-A re-
porting machine at the Paris Exposi-
tion, known as LA machine tcno graph
ique Michela," the latter being the name
of tho inventor, attracted much cttsn-
ton. The claims made respecting it
are that after fortnight's practice, any
person can take down in short hand
characters a speech, however rapidly
delivered. 1t is q small instrument
pianoe- like in form, with % keys, white
and black the stenogrsphic chsracteris-
tics are small and impressed on slips of
paper. ,Signor Michela claims to have
classified all the sounds which the hu.
man organs Of speech arc capable of
producing, and to have so constructed
his machine that it shall report with
uttering fidelity whatever is said in
German, French, Italian, Spanish and
English. The machine is highly in
genious, and seems to have stood several
practical tests satisfactory.

PORTRAITS IN WAsHINGroN.-AsI /
was going through the Senate wing this
morning stopped at the picture stand Sf
Mr.. Bowden, who has in steel engraving
the photographs Of all the ilustrious men
Of the present and past. / asked him Of
the prominent men of to day of whom he
sold the most engravings. He said II
sell The most of Thdrman, Conkling, Ben
Butler, Jim Blaine and Jshn Sherman"
You would be surprised" ;" re says, "to
know how great demand there is for
Butler pictures. OF the five have Just
mentioned think tho honors would be
divided between Thurman and Butler.
next in order would be Blaine, then
Conkling, and then Sherman. / also
have great many orders for Chief JUS
tice Waite. AS for Hayes, I don It think
sell one of his to ten of Speaker Ran
dali, and yet am on tho Senate side.
There is but little demand for Garfield,
but some for Sam Cox and Fernando
Wood and General Banks. OF those
who are dead. the greatest demand is for
Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and
Chief Justice Chase, though there is a
fair market for George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson. Daniel Webster, Sec
retary Seward, Secretary Stanton and
General Thomas. Yol would be sur
piised 10 know also tho number OF en-
cravings l sell Of Jeff Davis and General
Lee. The sales of these two are not rs
extensive as those i have heretofore
mentioned, but they are cons iderable.
Grant, for come reason don't sell well.
1t may be because every one has like
ness of him, but sell three of Sherman
to one of Grant yes, General Lee outsslls
Grant"
Can you tell generally the run of the
minds of the people in their purchase Of
pictures of leading men ?"
=" L think l can. 1t grows and di-
minishes just in proportion 10 the noto-
riety that tho man is creating"
see that You have crayon port =
rait there OF Jim Blaine, and also one
of Senator Morgan. Why do you hang
that OF Blaine above that of Morgan ?"
Oh, you must always put the most
salable man in the most public and
promine place"
How does Tom BayArd sell ?"
" But fairly sell bu. few Of Bay
ard, or Tilden, OF Seymour, or General
Hancock, though of those four sell by

WHO IS PUNIsHED7

He wasn't such bad man as men
average, though he was nc: a hard WORK
er ard he didn't have good husbands
and fathers interest in mis- family. What
they ate and what they wore he earned,
whether it was good or bad, and wife and
children depended on him. One day
when he had been drinking he got into
row, stabbed one Of the party and was
taken to the station. There was not 50
worth OF provisions in his house, and
while they wept ever the fate that had
overta6en husband and father their faces
paled at the thought Of the empty cup
board, their scaat clothing and the rent
overdue.
"This man is bad man and must be
punished ;" said the public.
"How2"
why, we'll send h ina to the State
Prison for year or more"
"And his family?"
The public shrugged its shoulders and
made no reply.
That man was bad man, but his wife
WAS praying, God fearing woman and
his children had innocent hearts. They
we're not TO blame for the deeds of their
father. Yes, the man must be punished
with year in prison, where he was well
clothed. we'll fed, furnished with a good
bed, attended by doctor when necessary
and his work was but play to his strong
muscles. Instead of feeling degraded he
entered prison with head erect and the
firm conv iction that he had viEdcated
his manhood By stabbing the fellow that
had struck him. For year he was bet
ter fed md better lodged than since he
could remember, and he gained fesh.
Thus was he PUN nished," to come home
and find himself corner grocery hero
and plenty Of men anx ious 10 befriend
him.
Now what of the family? Even be
fore the husband was arraignsd for trial
the wife had to sell the best of ner furni-
ture. He was no: yet sentenced when the
children were sent out to beg. The day
they punished" the bad man by starting
him to com Portable prison, his family
were turned INTO tho street, and remained
there all day and night. When they
found r home in hove the children
went begging for food and the mother for
work. In year exposure and suffering
had consigned tho mother and three
Of the children TO paupers' graves, and
the other two had been sent among
strangers to find homes. The punished
man comes out fat and healthy, to dis
cover that he has only himself to look |
after, the law having kindly made va
grants and bsggars of his family and then
killed and buried most of them.
"He's got such dose as will make
him behave himself in future" says the
public.
The "dose" is forty extra pounds Of fat
system cleansed of whisky and more
rugged look than he had carried for
twenty years, having scarce enough in
terest TO ask when his ifs d led and what
had become of the children the law didn't
kill and bury.
1t is nothing If "law' break. up homes
and makes beggars and paupers and
skeleton corpses by the half dozen to
punish one man over whose actions the !
sufferers had not the least control. Law
makers are wise men, and we must ad-
mire their wisdom. .-Detroa Free Press.

A MAGNIFIoENT CAvE.-Pima county,

A MAGNIFICENT CAvE.-Pima county,
Arizona, is in possession of wonderful
subterranean vault, which bids fair to
eclipse the celebrated Mammoth Cave Of
Kentucky or the grand cavern near Fort
Stanton, New Mexico. in which arc found
lakes, livulets, and large rooms containing
many curious thing. Explorers of the New
Mexico cave, found one mile from the en-
trance, a lake, to which they found ne
bottom. and to pass over which small
boat was constructed and put thereon.
The rooms many Of them, are described
as beautiful beyond description. From
the ceilings thousands Of stalactites are
suspended, the rays from the burning
torches giving to them the appearance of
mansions lined with diamonds and pre-.
cious stones.-A,izona Miner.

LAND AT THE POLE.

About four years ago farmer of Sup
prise Valley found in the crop of wild
goose small quantity of grain the like
Of which he had never before seen. He
sswed this grain, and it grew and -four
ished producing more than hundred fold.
The straw and beardless head are said to
Bile wheat, while the grain looks
like rye, but is twice as large. The far
mer has now many bushels Of this ce-
real, and has sent samples of it to oe
planted in various places in California,
whore food for cattle is not easily obtain
ed at some seasons, as the stalks of the
new grain, when cut before 1t is thor
oughly ripe, makes excellent hay.
An old sailor, after reading an item
which had been going the rounds Of the
papers in regard to the new cereal, the
substance of which item is given above
finds his memory refreshed. 1t brings to
his recellections a circumstance he mad
almost forgotten, and has set him to
thinking. He has thought II all out and
is now firmly of the opinion that there is
an inhsbta5le land at the North Pole.
The old man says he was one of the crew
Of the Investigator, Capt. Mcclure,
which sailed from England in 1850, in
company with the Enterprise, Comman-
der Collinson in search Of Sir John
Franklin, and he certainly has in his
posses ion one of the Artic medals given
by the English admiralty to all persons
engaged in these popular expeditions
from 1918 TO 1855. Ir September OF that
year the Investigator reached land
which Capt. Mcclure named Barring's
land, and three days Afterwards other
land which he named Prince Albert
where about the last OF the month they
were frozen in.
While in the last named land, the cx-
plerers observed many wild geese and
other fswis flying southwark. Some Of
tho geese stopped at the place where the
ship lay and several were killed by mem
bers Of the crew. In the crops of some
OF these geese he recolects to have seen
and marveled at seeing, a considerable
quantity Of grain such as the new ca
real of Surprise Valley is said to be. As
no such grain is known in the temperate
zone, and as we have no account OF a
grain of the kind being found in any re.
gion of the world, hc is Of the opinion
that the geese obta in it in region lying
about the open polar sea. He says no
man has yet gone so far north, bnt
he found wild geese and other water
fowls flying still further northward. AS
the geese are undoubtedly ly vending their
way to we'll known stopping place
far TO the north, there must be some
thing to feed upon at that point where
they stop. AS wild geese no moro live
on fish than do tame ones, there must
be, in the country to which they go,
grass and ether vegetation similar TO
that found in the temperate regions.
The wild geese that hail on the Pacific
Coast make the grain fields their feed
ing place, and that it is not likely that
in the land about the Pole their ma
ture is SO changed that they feed upon
mosses or fish.

city, transient or otherwise What other or
better assurance of safety could we hayeG
While it may be impossible for our people
to dismiss all apprehension, it does seem to
us that the constant dread under which
some people live, ane the proneness to re-
gard ever new case of sickness case ofyel-
low fever until it is shown to be otherwise,
are certainly unwaranted, and should give
way to an exercise Of even ordinary reason
and common sense.
The outcry raised by THE BULLETIN
against wooden sidewalks, last spring, is
re-echoed from all the towns and cities
that are cursed with such Notwithstanding
denominations. 1t is the testimony Of phys
icians and others whose opinions are en-
titled to respect, that the decaying wood,
with the eXcrement from animals that be.
come intermixed with the blocks of the
pavements, and the animal and vegetable
matter that accumulates under the walks,
give off malaria that is most destructive to
health, and especially productive OF feyers
of the bilious type. The Chicago papers
are most persistent in their denunciation Of
the abominahon, and will probably en-.
force a scientific enquiry, with a hope o
results that will compel the abandonment
of wood in the construction of walks and
pavements. 1t is, as the Vincennes Sun
takes occasion to remark, high time that
some attention be given to the laws OF
health in the management of incorporated
cities. The people cannot afford to sacri-
fee their health in the interest Of economy.
1t is infinitely better that the citizen pay
out his money for brick, stone, gravel Gin
der or asphaltum walks and pavements,
than to pay it out for drugs and doctors
bills.
