An Interview With Capt. Eads, Who Pro-
poses to Develop His Plans Before Call
ing for Cash.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. Tn an interview with
Capt. J. B. Eads, he said, when asked about
the Nicaragua canal and its prospects, it was
simply preposterous to suppose that the valley
of the Mississippi would consent to have a
line established across that isthmus when it
could establish better one across Tehnantepec,
with saving of 200 miles between the mouth
of the Mississippi river and ports on the Pacif-
lie, or, in other words, it is about four thou
sand miles by way of Tehuantepec, and five
thousand two hundred miles by way of the
Nicaragua route, from the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi to San Francisco. 1t was also prepos-
ferrous, he also said, to suppose that the Allan
tic and Pacific States would consent to have a
would be seven hundred miles shorter for those
States by the Mexican isthmus. In referring
to the proposition ne intends to
make to Congress for aid in carrying
out his enterprise, Capt. Eads says he will
agree as he did at the jetties, to demonstrate
the supremacy of ship railway over the ship
canal at his own cost and risk before any guar
antee shall be binding on the part of the United
States. This he proposes to do by building
the terminal works at one end OF the line
for taking ships out of the water aud placing
them on the railroad, and also ten miles OF the
railway over which heavily loaded ship shall
be run at greater rate of speed than can be
obtained through the Suez canal. The railway,
he says, can be ready in four years from the
time that the first work is commenced upon
it, and he has no fear but what the govern
ment will give him all the aid which the en-
terprise requires

cution called as witnesses members OF the
police ferce and a party residing in the neigh
borhood of the house, but failed to show to
the jury, as shown by the verdict, that plain
tiff was keeper of the house. The jury were
out wrestling with the evidence over two
hours, and returned verdict of not guilty
While it is well known that
the house in question was
what the indictment stated,
and that the defendant had been mistress of
the same for the past three years, it appears
strange that sufficient evidence could not be
obtained to convict her of the offense. AS it
stands now Mrs. Carnahan goes free, while
the three other keepers Of houses of ill-fame
who were convicted on about the same evil
dence, are "doing time'' in the penitentiary.

A Society Evil.

In Paris, children's parties are preten-
tious affairs. The decorations and toll
cites are made as prominent features and
as elaborate as among older society
followers. At one of the childrenis
balls was child Of II years, decked in
hundreds of pounds worth Of diamonds,
and toilet Of lace worth s1O0, with Cos
samer fan mounted in turquoise and
pearls. Where all should be Joy, life
and light in this youthful crowd, there
are the same rivalries, heart-burnings
and envious feelings that embitter and
spoil the pleasure of older hearts.

ROthschiId's Porcelain Service.

Baron Rothschild tells the following
story as he exhibits his porcelain SER
vice:
One day an old man, careworn, wrin-
killed., feeble, and apparently lettering on
the verge of the grave, presented HIM
self before Baron James Rothschild, So
Letting the honor of an interview with
the famous banker. The old man was so
aged, so poor, and had so detected an as
pect that the Baron was Immediately inn
dressed with compassionate feeling, and
this became lively interest on learning
that he was jew. The aged visitor
took from his bag rich and beautiful
plate, SO splendidly wrought that the
Baron admired it exceedingly.
"Sir," said the patriarch, twill You
buy this of me? l have the whole set,
and service SO beautiful must find its
fitting place in the mansion of the prince
of financiers.
1T Is indeed very fine" said the
Baron. "How much do you wish for the
service?"
Look You sir, said the old man, 81
am bowed down with many years, and
have not long to live. L am poor, and
wish to end my days in comparative COM
fort. Will you in exchange for this val
nable set of porcelain give me an income
for life of 100 francs ($20) a month"; 1t
is not much for You, and am SO old"
The Baron looked at the poor old man,
examined the plate again, and after a
few minutes reflection, said: well, be
it SO; here is the first payment. Send
me the service and give me your name
that / may have it entered in my treas
urer's book. f"
The splendid set of porcelain was de-
livered the same day to the Baron, and a
month afterward, while he was seated
in his counting house, man entered
and asked for the second payment of the
proposed income. But the man was
young, scarcely thirty-four years of age
of O vigorous constitution and great
muscular development, and looked as if
he would live for 100 years.
'But you are not the mani! exclaimed
the astonished banker.
Excuse me, Baron, said he; 81 am
indeed the man.
''But you appeared at least eighty
years old, said the Baron.
But, sir, am only thirty" said the
man.
In fact" continued the Baron, 81
thought your venerable appearance did
not belle your assertion"
81 have wonderfully recovered" OBJ
served the man, land thanks to your
generosity"
The Baron laughed heartily, and gave
orders for the payment of the money,
exclaiming, "Ah! you are an excellent
comedian, and have taken me in thor
oughly."
81 am probably the first who has done
So" replied the Jew, politely bowling to
the millionaire.
For years Rothschild paid the monthly
allowance. His porcelain service is SO
exquisite that he does not complain.

same gesture is used, but not the same

are still eating, DO not be in haste.
1t is customary for the elder to
help the younger to those dishes
which he cannot reach, but in receiving
etiquette requires him or her to rise. In
sitting at Chinese table neither ones
body nor his dress must touch the table,
and great strictness in regard to ones
position is enforced. 1t is not accord
ing to Chinese etiquette to look around
when one is eating, nor to stare at one
another. Remarks made on the food
and the smacking of ones lips are (Im
sorry to say allowable in Chinese ETH
quette. The chopsticks, when ones is
not using them, must be placed on the
table close together, perpendicular to
the spoon. According to Chinese ETH
quette, it is rude for one to finish too
soon one must try to keep together
with the rest, though it is becoming for
interiors to finish little before their
superiors, but not little too late. Read
ing of periodicals is strictly forbidden,
but letters are allowed if they are very
important. One very seldom asks for
an excuse from table in China, but every
one goes at the same time. "-AnlherSt

Three or four years after this we had
heard no news of Chevaucheux. We

the soldier had come into our house

romance of love so strangely begun?
One day my father had to go to Mezi'

At Mezieres he wished to enter the first

little lisp.
At that moment the door opened, and
man in his shirt-sleeves appeared-the
father-and took the child up in his
arms, saying:
"Pierrel Pierrel do You want to drive

father. We looked at the barber. The

Chinese Table Etiquette.

Ting Lang Ho, an educated China
man, writes us follows According to
the teaching of Confucius, no conversa-
ton must be carried on ut table. This
precept OF Confucius, tisagreeable
though it must seem to many, prevents
many embarrassments at table, namely,
one being interrupted when he tries to
speak at table, and the boisteroueness
with which some carry on conversation
at table. Chinese etiquette requires

Bird Nests and the Law.

Bird Nests and the Law.
A bright young fellow of ten sum-
mers and no winters named John
Sneed Williams, Of Walker avenue,
came zeal being caught in the ugly
clutches Of the law this morning. He
came to town with a box of bird eggs
a pretty little museum composed of
the eggs Of the creole, mocking bird,
thrush, robiu, dove and jay bird. He
was showing his treasure to his friends,
when the austere eye of a justice Of
the peace fell upon it, The esquire
was about to arrest the young fellow,
but johnny assured him that he
bought all the eggs for a fish hook,
except the jay bird eggs, and that bird
was not under the protection of the
law. Johuny's law knowledge saved
him, but the boys who don't know tho
law so we'll had better take warning.
Under the law a young fellow has to
pay a fine Of five dollars each for rob-
bing the nests of mockiug birds,
thrushes, robins, oreoles, snipes, larks,
sparrows, cat birds, blue birds or
woodpeckerS, and the officers Of the
law are required to enforce the law.
