WELSH FAIRS.

The most striking peculiarities of the
Calmarthen fair are its utter rusticity
and its pronounced Welshiness. No
language but Welsh is heard The
characteristic tall beaver hats abound on
the heads of the women, who by this
sign advertise their back-country resi-
dence. The women of the towns--even
this old Welsh town are less given to
the shining and stubborn beaver than to
q sort of calash peculiar to Wales, fitting
the head snugly. The two old woman
standing near you, with cheeks pressed
close together, whispering sleepily in
each others ears, telling some story of
corpse-candle or cyhiwaeth, could not be
thus intimate with their secrets if their
hats were the rigid beavers of the far
mer-wives. There is no single specimen
here to be seen of the characteristic
cOckney fair-freQuenters who so abound
as rule, in every part of the British
Islands, Wales included. There are no
balladists singing English songs; no
hawkers crying their wares in English ;
no gamblers, no Aunt Sallies, no shoot
ing galleries-nothing whatever uttering
itself in English. There is fun enough,
but it is Welsh fun-scufiing, larking,
chatting There are hawkers enough,
but they cry in Welsh, and they con
duct their trades in Welsh. To beat
down the price seems to be the rule
with every purchase, be it nothing more
than a penny-worth Of sweets. To go
to fair OF market and buy without
chatfering is mere infantile greenrcss,
from Welsh point of view.

Many boy on the farm has received
his first lessons in love for pets in the
care Of rabbits, generally the ownership
Of rabbits preceding that of dogs. The
rabbit is more dependent upon the boy,
its owner, than any other snimal pet,
and in learning to administer to its
wants the boy undergoes q voluntary
and pleasurable training which will pre-
pare him for the cure of larger and more
valuable animals Guardians of youth
should not overlook the influence which
boys amusements have upon his future
life and character. A habit once formed
of being careful, patient and kind
toward pet animals will do much
toward influencing his future treatment
of horses, cattle and sheep.

some time, Miss Jackson went up into
the city. Unfortunately. she got left,
and had to seek assistance among en-
tire strangers. Realizing her deplora-
BILE situation, she hired out as a servant
in family, remaining for about eight
months ON a salary which was barely
sufficient TO clothe her. She gradually
made her way from one city to another,
consuming year from the time she left
Charleston before she arrived in Rich
mond, Va. She did not know the way
home. and all to whom she told her
story laughed at the recital. But she
was persevering and saving all of the
time, and never allowed herself TO be-
come downcast. At Richmond she
worked for a Mr.. 1verson, a
wealthy tobacconist, who became in
terested in her story last fall,
and personally set about ascertaining
the truth of it. He visited Washington
and learned what had been forwarded
from the Consul at Havana, and then
put himself in correspondence with Mr..
jackson, Annie's father, in Texas. Be-
coming satisfied that all was right, he
assisted her to proceed home, and a
happier woman was never known than
she as she went through Quincy, and
drew nearer her destination. She will
be met by one of her brothers at some
point on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad, he having been notified that
she is en- route home. Her other broth
er and her mother are now dead

American Watches.

The American Watch Company of Waltham
received last week an order from the British
Government for 312 watches, intended for the
use Of conductors, engineers, station-masters
and other employees of the state railroads Of
India. This is the third large order received
by the company from the same source, and,
like the former ones, was obtained in public
competition with foreign manufacturers. The
London ''Jcweiler ard Metal Norker,m in its
issue of January 10, observes, in reference to
this order:
1.-THE contract for watches, TO be used by
the officials on the Indian state railways. has
again been secured by the American Watch
Company. This is the third time Messrs. Rob
bins ~ Appleton have received this distinction,
which is not barren one, for it must be evil
dent TO the most prejudiced individuals that
the rimekeepers supplied on the previous oc-
casion must have given satisfaction, and an
swered the tests required Of them. This is a
notifying fact for Englishmen. especially for
those who believe that were manufacturers
here to show more enterprise they would he
able TO compete advan!ageously in the maui
faeture OF all grades of watches. n-BostOn

In the United States Treasury.

Treasury building. Next to the White
House. Place where money is made,
but where you don't learn to make
money. Fine granite structure aces
sible by muscular penance of many
steps. Why so many flights of stairs to
public buildings in an age when elevat-
ors elevate the race? Why now rem
der it imperative to climb up into a
building in order TO get down stairs?
Money all ABOUT here cheap as dirt
but only to the eye. Otherwise, touch
not, taste not, handle not. Under
guidance and close surveillance am
taken to the Monetary Sanctum Finan-
ciorium where are kept many millions
for immediate use bow in the pres
ence of Mammon. Mammon in gold,
Mammon in silver, Mammon in paper,
Mammon in stout canvas bags of dol
lars, Mammon in 81, %, s., so, 500
and 200 packages of bills, which re-
semble packages of tea. l am given
to lift-only to lift-a thousand bags of
dollars. l mean bag of a thousand
silver dollars A tax on the muscular
system. l am then given to lift a
S2,000,000 package of greenbacks in
$1,000 bills No tax at all on the mus
cular or any other system. Balance Of
weight and clumsiness in favor of the
silver; balance of lightness and con-
venience in favor of the paper. Hence,
prefer paper in mine; if there's much
of it. l laid the S2,000,000 of green
backs down and went away sorrowing.
Those bits of paper, which for a few
seconds had held in my hand, would
secure me honor, consideration and
position among men, despite crows
feet and radically ugly face.
Shot up stairs to Treasury top floor
per elevator to bureau of money en-
craving and printing. Very interesting
and hot with variety of mechanical
smells. Money smells good deal
while it is being made. Lots of women
printing sheets of money, cut
ting them and counting them.
Money being baked in ovens to
make it dry and crisp. Rich financial
upper pie-crust. Bewildering series of
complicated machines for making
money. Here is the financial stomach
of the Nation, where its life-blood of
trade, commerce, dignity and position
is being prepared for circulation and that
of which the inordinate love is the root
of all evil turned out by the ton. Also,
all manner of revenue stamps. More
women handling great sheets of uncut
bills with rustling like that of the
withered leaves Of autumn, which, as
Patrick Henry remarked, "every gale
from Wall Street north brings to our
ears" Here are the engravers making
the heads of old Presidents and politi-
clans more beautiful than ever
were they in life, to adorn
money. Here are dyers up to their
elbows in green dyeing money. Here
they are at the employees lunch coun-
ter eating pound cake with moist,
green-dyed fingers and drinking coffee
from white cups, and leaving upon
them the impress of green-dyed thumbs.
Here be the safes where are kept the
Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1880-03-27

bank note plates, third of each sepa-
rate plate in separate safe, locked by
a separate and individual lock and key,
and each lock different from the others
and the key kept by a different man,
I'd no man allowed access to the other
safes or granted to know even the
others combination of lock, whereby
no one man can steal whole bank
note plate. Eternal vigilance and pre-
caution is here. The price of safety
and enforced honesty is the United
States Treasury policy. Here the mar
row passages are now beset by swarms
of visitors, each swarm in charge of
Treasury guide, each swarm counted by
partment on going in and counted again
on coming out, lest some deceitful and
desperately wicked human heart might
be left TO rummage about half-made
money and bank note plates. Here the
swarms of visitors encounter and jostle
each other, and employees moist with
green and black dye squeeze through
them, and the guides are troubled to
keep their respective swarms from
straying apart or lettering by the way,
and their respective mechanical and
monetary manufacturing explanations
get sometimes much mixed up, and
at all times dulled to the ear by the
hum and clank of money-making ma
chinery and the chatter of the
money makers voices, who gaze crit
ically if not 4uizzically ON the visitors
in retaliation for being themselves ex-
hibited.
Carried, then, down stairs to the
"Bond Room Kept here millions on
millions of securities from our 2,100
National Banks. All inclosed in card
board boxes, and each box holding
few sheets of paper. All these hum
dreds of millions of paper. Our man.
mon seems paper god, after all. You
may mold in gold and silver, but if you
want to carry your financial penates
around you, you fall back on paper.
Lady visitor in the bond room expatiated
volubly on the benefits of wealth and
the convenience of having plenty of
money. Popular subject. Appropriate
place the Treasury bond vault for snch
lecture. Lady wanted much money be-
cause she "could do so much good with
it" Its what all of us want it for ere
We get it. $40 do good with it, Al
ter we get it we find it is nec-
essary TO do much more good to
ourselves than we previously imagined.
Give Il man $4,000 who before
never had at once over 800 and in
three months time he'll feel as poor as
ever, and be longing for million, Just
" for the good he could do with it."
More money. more wants. Don't fool
yourself thinking you want SO much
money, just to do good to others. Try
it with 100000 to start with, and see if
the jewelers. window does not glitter
with diamond possibilities unaspired to
before. And the new house, the car
rage and the new tailor, the new mil
liner, tine new mantua maker, the touring
abroad and at home, now an absolute
necessity, keep shaving down narrower
and narrower that margin of good we
were "going to do Others" when 800
seemed small fortune. At least I've
found it so since our rich uncle in Cali
fornia benevolently died and left us all
the money he had laboriously raked and
scraped together. Prentice Milford, IN

1t is surmised that the steamer will
change its course to New Orleans, as
the gale is from the northeast, and il

AFTER fierce struggle between
Senator Gordon and Senator Hill, the
former triumphed, and the illiterate
Georgia -taker was rejected by
vote of twenty-nine to ten. Only
two democrats voted for the confrma-
tion of Hill and Eacon. A number of
republicans refused to vote, and some
Eated against the ignoramus. Hill
spoke four hours Gordon replied in a
speech of ten minutes. Good feeling
prevailed, and the affair created good
deal Of merriment. Mr.. Blaine said
that Simmons had announced himself
ITO the president as a good republican
and loyNl man, and to the senate as a
staunch democrat and ardent confed
ate. Under the circumstances he said
he could vote both ways had he two
votes, but, as it was, he must refrain
from voting. The jolly old boys in the
senate made things quite merry,
mostly at Hills expense, and had a
good time for half a day at the ex-
pense of the people.
