JUDGE TAYLOR shot off his mouth
to fair sized audience at the Opera
House last Saturday evening. His
speech was of the regular bloody shirt
order, and he made desperote effort
to create an alarm in the minds of his
hearers, that, If Hancock is elected the
rebel debt will be paid, the rebel claims
allowed and slavery reinstated. This
was the burden Of his song. Tt is the
most arrant and contemplate dema-
gogueism and nobody knows it better
than Judge Taylor. Even if such
things were possible, does any sensible
man believe that the Democrats are
such fools as to commit hari-kari as
soon as they obtain power. The Judge
made no allusion to the evidence he
has in his possession proving Garfield
to be liar.

A Fast Locomotive,

The Patterson locomotive works have
Just turned out new locomotive of pc
culiar construction, intended for the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & ChicBgo rail-
road, which, it is claimed, can be made
to 90 ninety miles an hour, while the
machinery is run no faster than that
of an ordinary locomotive travelling at
the-rate of sixty miles an hour. The
machinery is all on top of the boiler,
instead of under it. The driving wheel
rests on another wheel, which in turn
rests on the track. This lower wheel
has two rims, one foot smaller than
the other The outer rim touches the
track, and the inner or smaller rim sup
ports the driving wheel. The motion
of the driving-wheel thus cOmmuni-
Gated, is magnified by this arrangement,
so that the lower wheel turns One-third
faster than the drivingwheel, and so
the speed is increased, The smaller
rim of the lower wheel bears to the
large rim relation similar to that of a
very large hub to any wheel. Of course
any rate of motion communicated to
such hub is greatly magnified at the
pheriphery of the wheel. In the same
way the motion of the driving-wheel in
this case is magnified by the peculiar
arrangement of the wheel it rests upon
Mr.. FOntaine believes that his lOcomO-
tive, if it were not for the increased re-
siStancc of the air, could be run ut the
rate of 107 miles an hour.

The Women Of Cyprus.

New York Evening Post
An American lady, recently returned
from Cyprus, has favored representa-
tive Of the EUeming Post with some in
teresting facts concerning the CypriOte
women. TwO-thirds of them are Greek
and the remaining Turkish, with a fair
sprinkling of Europeans. Beauty is not
their strong point-in fact they are fear
fully ugly. The Greek ladies are more
intelligent than the men, and their hand
iwork in lace-making, in cOtton-spin-
ming, in the manufacture of Silks often
splendid, but they are opposed to the in
PRODUCTION of steam and the modern i'm
provements. The Turkish ladies are
inferior to the Greeks, indOlent and I'M
educated, but cross between the Arab
and Turk is extremely intelligent and
witty. The Greek women have a French
eve for colors; ''my Greek maid wore a
blue cashmere skirt. fine black velvet
Jacket opened in front, with loose sleeves,
gold embroidered, and under it "a, white
silk chemise-a sort of gauZe with a
heavy stripe and trimmed with white
lace, dut low IN the neck, and set of
with considerable jewelry," for Greek
woman dresses to be seen, while if a
Turkish woman allows her vel to fall
and shows herself her husband is emit
tied to a divorce. The Turkish married
women wear no jewelry; only young la
dies wear it, and they marry often at Is
years of age. Greek women walk out
freely in the evening, and often with
masculine escorts, but Turkish women
are never seen in public with man, nor
after shutdown. Though the Greek wO-
men often talE very agreeably, and are
extremely polished in manners, they
cannot write their own names, and are
unable to read a line There are plenty
of children in Cyprus, and they are
treated as if they were dogs. Even when
belonging to good families their hair
often is matted, their bodies are dirty,
and beaten in a frightful manner by the
parents. Yet every father thinks it his
duty to provide a house and garden for
each of his children-especially for a
daughter-and parents frequently relin-
quish their own home to a daughter who
is about to be married

How the Supreme Court is Opened.

washington star.
To begin with, there is a degree of
dignity and stately bearing about the
court and its members which permeates
even to the most humble attache There
is quiet in the court room which re-
calls the Sabbath of the Covenanters.
When one enters the involuntary feel
ing comes on that the room is set aside
only for the contemplation of the sober
side of life, and woe to him who ubes
or Jokes in the presence of the court.
The court is opened about this fashion:
At y O'Clock nOon) the justices come
in from the consulting room and take
their seats on the bench. Away to the
left of the chamber is seen a youthful
officer, whose business it is to catch the
first glimpse of the advancing Judges
Then comes three raps with a ponder
Gus Savel by the same officer. This is
meant as signal for the audience TO
rise. Then, with the chief justice in
advance, the judges enter from the
right to the chamber. To the rear of
the justices seat is an aisle. In the cell
tire is an arched entrance for the chief
Justice. Through this aisle the Judges
file and take position on the right and
left. None enter until the chief Justice
energies from the center entrance. At
ter all have filed in the chief Justice
makes a graceful obeiSance to the stand
ing audience. Then the Justices take
seats, a stroke of the gavel is made and
the audience seats itself. The opening
of the court falls upon a youthful Of
fetal. 1t is after the old English foIm.
''Oyez; Oyez," etc, and concludes with
"GOd bless the honorable supreme
court" The court is now ready for
business. All the justices are clad in
black silk gowns with an ecclesiastical
cut. In the dispatch of business the
chief justice is quite expeditions. He
is always ready with reply to a queS-
ton, and eminently satisfactory. The
justices on the bench assume different
attitudes. Justice Miller einks down in
his chair, and but little can be seensof
him but the top of his head; so also

Peter nodded his head and paved the

He shook his head.
"Were you out yesterday"

Down went the chain. and the horse
covered the distance at two jumps.
"Now walk around the truck, and
come and take my hat Off"
The horse obeyed to the letter.
Now" continued the man, as he lay
down on the floor, ''step over me-"
Peter lifted up his feet very high and
stepped softly over, and returned to his
stall.
That horse is one of u.s." said the
man, as he brushed off the dust and sat
down.

nothing would inspire me with contempt
for a woman so surely as her taking the
initiative like that. And yet could not
find fault with this letter. 1t was, clear
ly enough, unsolicited, but so tactfully
was it worded, with such delicacy and
ease, that the most fastidious and cap
tious taste could have found in it no If
regularity beyond the mere fact of its
being.

a seemly reserve, but it was evident that
the girl was overjoyed at the prompt re-
Spouse to her unasked advances.
meanwhile, Bonham was delayed
and detained, and the letters went to
and fro in constant exchange. Miss
Suddeth wrote beautifully; her letters
were as worthy of study as those of Ma
dame de Sevigne. Her thought was al
ways vigorous and pure and its express
sion exquisite. She was not gushing
she seldom lapsed into tenderness, but
every letter showed how deeply her feel
ings were involved; for before Bon

Suddeth, in his character-mask. We
even exchanged rings, and some trif1ing
gifts-hers chosen with perfection of
taste.
.'Of course BOnham saw the letters;
he was a trifle indignant at first, but af
terward assisted in extricating me from
the dilemma. The situation was known

to read all the letters | had, and some
times assisted in composing a reply.

Cleveland Lead T.
An amusing experience was told me
Yesterday by one of the most prominent
railroad managers of the western states,
which, on my promise not to divulge
the names of the parties, | am permit
ted to publish:
A few years ago | took charge of the
- raiiread in Texas, which at that
time was in bad condition. For several
months | was kept very busy in trying
To bring order out of chaos, and all my
time had to be devoted to the affairs of
the road. During certain hours | had
given orders that i was TO be disturbed
under no circumstances, and my clerk
had orders to admit no one. One day
during these hours the following incl
dent occurred: was busy at my desk
when the door burst open, and long,
lank. uncouth, cadaverOus looking Tex
an stood before me- His homespun
pants were tucked inside his dusty cow
hide boots, his rough face looked as
though it had never seen a razor, and
his long, uncombed hair streamed out
from under large sombrero down on
his broad, wiry shoulders. He marched
straight up to my desk, and without
taking off his hat. said in gruff, quick
tone:
sis Smith in?''
| looked up in amazement and re
piled: Eyes, sir; that's my name"
''Well, then, east your eye on that"
said he, slapping a letter down before
me.
picked it up and read it, and found
it to be letter of introduction, saying
the bearer was a trustworthy man, who
wanted work, and asking that it be Civ
en- him.
As finished the letter, he again
broke out, 'Well, Smith, what dye
say? Can you give me pOsish?"
| waited a moment, and then said:
"YOu appear to be quite forward
young man, and you want a position.
Now, sir, don't you think you would
have stood better chance of getting a
position if you were more polite in your
manner? If you had knocked at the
door, and on being invited to enter, had
come in quietly, taken off your hat and
ask ed if Mr.. Smith was in, and had Of
fered this letter, asking, with a polite
bow, VIII you have the kindness to
looktover this letter?' If you had done
so, young man, don't you think your
proposition would have been more ia

OUR SHIPS AT SEA.

How many Of us have ships at sea
Freighted with wishes and hopes and fears,
Tossing about on the waves while we
Linger aud wait on the shore for years,
Gazing afar through the distance dim
And signing, 'sWill ever our ships come in'"
We sent them away with laughter and song,
The decks were white and the sails were
new,
The fragrant breezes bore IL EN- along,
The sea was calm and the skies were blue,
And we thought as we watched them sail
away
OF the joy they would bring US some future
day.
Long have we watched beside the shore
To catch the CLEAN Of a coming sail,
But we only hear the breakers roar
Or the sweeping night winds dismal wall,
TIL our cheeks grow pale, and our eyes grow
dim,
And we sadly sigh, @'Will they ever come inF'
Oh poor sad heart, with its burden of cares,
It's aims defeated, its worthless life
That has garnered only the thorns and the
tares,
That is scared and torn in the pitiful strife,
Affair on the heavenly golden shore
Thy ships are anchored forever more.
