Temperance i'm the Cabinet.

The Washington correspondent of
the Philadel phia Times writes under
date of June II, as follows: Secretary
Window is absent, taking short vaca-
ton. He is a very hard worker and
the most cheerful of men He has a
splendid physique. He is 50 years old,
but looks Ike man Of 50 or 40. He
has always taken care of himself and
has no bad habits, except early rising
end hard work. He is the only tenn
perance man [ mean total abstinence
man) in the administration. He neith-
er keeps the rosy at home or par
takes of it outside. Singular, isn't it !?
Garfield Is temperate man, but not a
total abstinence man. He will take a
nip Of whisky or brandy once in a
while IN Ongenial company, and he
drinks wine at dinner when he IS out.
Blaine never tasted brandy or whisky
or any distilled liquor in his life. He
drinks little champagne at dinner if
he has company or is dining out, but
nothing elsa. Hunt, IF the navy, IS a
charming gentleman in social life, and
will take drink or two when he feels
like it-Lincoin also TIE last-named
is one of the salt of the earth He Is
one of the most gentlemanly, honest
hearted, upright, self-forgetful little
men you ever saw. There will be no
Belknap business under him. And vet
have heard that he used to play poker
at a cent ante and quarter limit
whatever that means Kirkwood and
James would both take a drink rather
than have their legs sawed of, but Mac
Veagh-l don't know anything about
him. He doesn't look as if he ever took
drink. and yet l have sometimes
imagined there was little glimmer oi
fun IN him.

A New Mat0r.

An application has been made at the
patent office for patent on new mo-
tor. 1t is ealled zeromotor." 1t is
attracting great deal of attention in
Washington. The president. all his
cabinet Officers and many of the sena-
tors have taken look at it. A Wash
ington dispatch, speaking of it says
"The inventor does not claim that it
is perpetual motion, but, if he does
not claim too much in his specification,
there seems to be no good reason why
the engine which is self-starting, should
not run forever. If there is no loss of
material from leakage, there will be no
occasion toreplenish the amount with
which compartment of the motor is
originally charged. Apparently there
will be no expense attending the run
ming of the engine. Like Artemus
Wards celebrated horse hay-rake, the
apparatusis self expanding, self con-
tracing and self-righteous. 1t adapts
itself to all conditions of temperature
and location. 1t can be employed to
produce heat, as well as motive power,
to persons navigating polar seas. 1t is
not liable to explosions, as all kinds OF
steam engines are"
If it is Ill that it is claimed to be, it
IS certainly something wonderful.

The New TeleDhOne

Another wonder of electricity is re-
ported, this time from Europe. An ex-
pertinent has just been made with an
improved telephone, by which CONVEX
satlon was carried On across the Eng
llsh channel, between Dover. England
and Calias. in France. The experiment
is said to have been wholly successful
and satisfactory, words whispered into
the apparatus at one end of the cable
being SO distinctly heard at the other
that the mere tones of the voice of the
person speaking were distinguishable.
At the same time the human voice was
being transmitted through one of the
wires of the cable, the other wires were
used for ordinary telegraph messages,
and this, too, during the busiest part of
the day, when the wires were in un-
ceaSlng requlsltion. A number of en-
lnent scientific gentlemen were present
at the testing of the new invention,
which is called the electrophone, and
were enthusiastic over its success. The
correspondent who reports the facts,
predicts most important results from
the invention, saying: There can no
longer be any doubt that it is perfecly
practical to converse across, or rather
under, the sea by means of any sub
marine cable, and the success of the
experiment opens up vistas of the pos
sibilities af rapid communication that
few years ago would have belonged
to dreamland, alone. The invent r
maintains that it is just as easy to talk
across the ocean as from one room to
anotf er, and he has succeeded so well
In the first practical illustration of his
apparatus that one is scarcely justified
IN doubling his assertion that he has
found system by which words spoken
from the other side of the ocean can be
fixed on their arrival here and treasur-
ed up for further use.

of stone that viii cut that diamond I'll
give it to you," replied the peddler.
"All right" said the miner, "IfI can't
cut that diamond with stone I'll buy
it of YOU" Thereupon the miner took
the ring in his hand and pulled from his
vest pocket a small piece of brown-loos-
ing stone, similar to bit of dark free
stone, except the grain was very fine
and with this he proceeded coolly to
cut and scratch the diamond with
several ugly looking gashes. a group
of passengers that had gathered about
the miner We're amazed, but while they
smiled, the peddler with his diamond
withdrew discounted. THAT little
piece of brown stone," explained the
miner. 'is piece of corundrum that
got in the Rocky Mountains, and it's
the best diamond tester in the world.
1t won't scar genuine diamond, but it
will everlastingly cut up pieces of glass
or quartz.

a Pen Picture OF the son or Abrnhans
Lincoln.

From Ramsdells Washington Republic.
Personally Mr.. Lincoln bears but
very little resemblance TO his ilustr-
ious father. He has the same mild
look in the eyes, and the forehead il
something like his fathers, but these
are only points OF resemblance. Mr.
Lincoln has 1.-the, weIl-knit frame of
medium height, with quick, graceful
action. He dresses fash1onably and
wears his clothes as though he were
sure Of his tailors skill He wears
full beard and moustache, which are
well kept. His manners are extreme
ly afiable and courteous, though quiet.
He has fashion Of getting at the point
of anything readily and is not disposed
to waste time in delays and procrasti-
nations When he reaches question
he decides it, Heis always accessible to
those who have business with him, but
he is too busy himself to allow his time
to be wasted on prefaces and appendix
es, so to speak. In the department he
il very popular, not the less SO, am
sure, because he expects every officer
to do his duty. His habits are as mod
est and unpretending as his manners
and personal appearance

What VIC Live For.

"What is life?' some one asked
Montford His answer is one Of the
most charming things ever written:
''Tne present life is sleeping and
waking; it is good night, on going to
bed, and good morning on getting up;
it is to wonder what the day will bring
forth; it is rain on the window when
one sits by the fire; it is walk in the
garden and see the flowers and hear
the birds sing; it is to hear news from
east, west, north and south; it is to
read old books and new books: it is to
see pictures and hear music. it it to
have Sundays; it is to have breakfast
and dinner and tea; it is to belong 10 a
town and have neighbors, and to be-
come one in a circle of acquaintances;
it is to have friends and love; it is to
have sight at dear old faces; and it
is to know themselves thought of many
times a day. in many places, by many
children and grandchildren and many
friends"
