Lords Mayor }, y,

The only person in England who en-
Joys, merely by right of Office, che style
Of "Right Honorable" is the Lord
Mayor Of London. There are two other
Lords Mayor--Cork and York-and up
to the close Of the last century the wives
of ex-Mayors of York retained for life,
by old usage, the title Of ''Lady." The
Chief Magistrates Of Edinburgh and
Glasgow are also styled "Lords" Pro
vost. Mayoralty in Great Britain and
Ireland is only for year, but the holder
is eligible for reelection at the expira-
tion of the term, and in London, as else
where, the Office has often been held by
the same man twice. In London Cor
long time past the Lord Mayor has been
selected from those engaged in CONNER
cial pursuits, but in Dublin professional
men have often within a few years been
elected, Thus, the Hon. Mr.. Verecker,
son OF Lord Gort, was lawyer. The
present holder of the office is a news
paper proprietor, and then there was the
great O'Connell himself, also a lawyer.
Neither in London nor in Dublin does
the Office nowadays confer any social
distinction, but in the former, especially,
a Lord Mayor is in many ways a very
important person, more especially where
the initiation Of meetings for public OBJ
jects is concerned. Half the battle may
be considered gained if no viii consent
to hold the meeting in the Mansion
House.

A Chinese Toy Maker.

brance OF this gral act OF justice,
A Chinese Toy Maker.
NesterdayI visited toy maker, who
is a member Of ON ehurch. He and his
wife live in house OF one room. There
islo aperture through which the light
can enter the house except the one door.
Even in the coolest weather they must
leave this door open or be in total dark
ness Yet they are as well housed as
their neighbors, and not more poverty
stricken than multitudes around them.
There was a bed in, one corner and
close beside It table, which filed the
opposite corner The table abutted up
on the range, 14s hollow isuuctpre Of
mason work, cubic yard in size, with
an iron pan set in the tor. little door
on one side, for, putting the FIRE under
the pan, and a chimney by which some
of the smoke might escape In the last
corner Of the room, and close beside the
door, was The wife's loom She was
weaving piece Of cloth from the fbres
of the leaf of the pineapple plant. The
loom and the process Of weaving were
such as Our great grandmothers were
familiar with.
+, I'm the very narrow space betweenthe
bed and. the loom, the toy maker had
his work bench, which was merely
pine trestle, with some Jumps of clay
upon it AS there was. no room for me
in the house, I sat on the doorstep,
from which the good wife deposed the
pig in order to make room fof me. She
would no doubt have sent him farther
away, had there been any room for so
doing. 7 have several times, when talk
ing to Chinese housekeeper in her own
parlor, seen her drive the pig into her
own bed room and shut it up there, be-
cause it ANNOYED me bv persistent en-
dcavor to find out whether my feet was
something good to eat.
The toy maker, at my request, made
some toys He took little lump of
clay in his hands, rolled it, divided one
end of the roll, and made,a little PAIR Of
legs. Then, at the other end of the
roll, he squeezed out and modelled a
pair Of arms. From another bit of clay
be- made a head, and joined it to the
body by little coil of fine wire, gave
smother squeeze and a few pats, and the
whole was o monkey, crouching on his
haunches hugging melon, and nodding
his head mos. knowingly. He made the
whole in less time than it takes you to
read this. He would bake it in his
kitchen range, paint it In his natural
colors, and sell it for one tenth of
cent. /
he also modelled little yellow chick,
ems very deity, and another creature
which he ssidwas tiger The latter
appeared more ferocious than any live
beast under the sun, and was bright
blue tint. 70
The making OF these three sorts OF
toys was his special craftrT There are
toy shops where as many as hundred
sorts Of toys are sold, made Of baked
clay, as were these. There are figures
Of women engaged in household occupa-
,tions, actors in The attire o. kings and
clowns, and fierce ruthans with boards.
But Chinese children do not play much,
and these toys, even sfter1they come in
to their possession, are usually set on
shelf Ito become, even more dusty and
only little more hideous than the i'm
ages Of tbeS family gods for which I
hare sometimes taken them.--By Miss

General Grant concerning railroads. In
which he says: There is not the least
doubt that II Mexico offers opportunities
to capitalists to construct railroads.
which are Of the utmost Importance to
the country. they will DO undertaken by
gentlemen who have the capital and the
resources to construct them in the short
est possible time without the enormous
subsidies heretofore paid for this object.
and that within q SHORT time they will
bring the City Of Mexico by direct rail
within six or seven days Of New York.
Mexico could send to the United States
each year 5000, DOC, 900 OF her products.
tropical and semi.tropical. and could
produce besides the same quantity Tor
other markets. The income OF the Re
public would augment from SIG. O0O, 900
to $i8, 600, 900 at least, without In any
way adding to the burdens Of taxation.
Very much depends on the result Of the
coming election, which, II peaceably
settled, will assursdly produce those
great benefits. I urgently hope that
this will DO the result"
In another letter he says:
"My idea Is now for the Government
to issue bonds at ak per cent. per
annum, organizing q liberal system OF
banking on this basis. which the banks
will issue notes receivable for all public
debts, and thus preserve the paper
money at par. which will facilitate the
building Of the roads and preserve the
national credit. II Mexico can preserve
her precious metals. in addition to her
other products, she will enrich herself
sufficiently to obviats the necessity OF
foreign importations. / can only repeat
that II Mexico can psacssbly elect her
new President without revolution. 1t IL
certain that her prosperity will be g..
cured, and that both Republics will
unquestionably be the recipients OF ben.

parties most interested. am. etc.,

springs 2x4 for saieties have tested
brass springs and discarded them. This
witness ~instanced several cases where
cables In the mine had broken at almost
all possible points and the safeties had
worked every time.
Cross-examined-Some accidents are
bound to occur; Mr.. Wilson's reputation
as blacksmith Is frst class |; he works al
the Imperial.
Arthur Wilson. blacksmith at the Con.
Imperial, was recalled and brought the
four springs which were on the cage at
the time Of the accident. His testimony
co~rrespouded with that given BY him
previously.
Cross.eIamined-The springs had been
in use eight or nine months; considered
them safe; they are calculated to bear a
strain of 200 pounds each; Imperial
cages do not weigh over 900 pounds; II
the springs required q greater strain the
cage wouldn't 60 down the shaft; 1t
would be forced out Of the guides; brass
springs are fully As good as steel springs.
size for size.
Rs-direct-H Have never used any other
kind of springs at the Imperial since I
have been there; once . cable broke 10
the Imperial incline. but the giraffe.
which was fitted with brass safety
springs, caught within six inches.
Re.cross--A great deal more time Is
REQUIRED to make steel springs than to
make brass springs; they therefore cost
more.
Byron 8. Jones and William F. Ross.
engineers at the Imperial, testified to
matters at the shaft. the breaking OF the
cable, etc. Mr.. Ross said {: II know
Mr.. Wilson; be Is one OF the best black.
smiths on ths lead; / have had to allow
him to 90 out at times to do work which
people could not find others to do; the
wire in this spring is just as good as
steel for what We want OF IL; as a matter
OF fact, the brass Ia better than steel.
because II r~esis,s the corrodine influence
OF water better; before this accident l
last say the safsties tested perhaps four
or five months ago."
Superintendent Hamilton testified that
be knew the employees OF the mine and
had full faith In their competency; never
had any complaint made about the cables
or cages or safeties; had been down on
this cable Friday. a week before The &C.
cideut; whatever cage was on top l took
when I wanted to 60 below; had ! had
my doubt Of the security Of the cable l
should not have gone down on 1t.
So
The jury on the evidence addueed
found that the deceased came to their
death ''by the breaking OF the cable and
thereby causing the cage whereon said
men were to fall; and We further fnd
that said cable was defective. and also
from the neglect OF the management OF
