The Maniac. Love.

[From the Washington National Republican,
He had never seen her or her photograph
had never. heard of her; never knew her
name-yet Tor twenty eight years had he low
Ted her in secret. He was stone blind, and
had lost both legs in the battle of Cold Har-
bor; but, undaunted, he wandered DER the
earth seeking for the idol of his heart. Ten
years more passed, and still he sought her;
but she knew it not. At last he met her.
She was standing in front of her fathers
house, which was close by the river, watch
ing the little fishes making fish balls. She
gazed wistfully at him with corns on her feet.
His eagle eye fell upon her. but she caught it
before it reachedthe earth He longed tospress
her to his bosom, but he could not stir, he
was rooted to the ground; and the old man
came out of the house and dug him up. But
his heart ceased to beat-he was dead. Then
she-she whom he eadored-approached soft
ly, and, taking his hand, led him to the wa
ter's edge. and, as he gazed upon the beauti-
full dome of the Capitol, seized him around
the waist and flung him far out upon the bos-
ON of the river. His heart sank-his head
swan back to the shore He said never a
word, but reproached her for her perfdious
conduct, exclaiming: woman, for twice one
hundred years have yearned for thee!"
''Yearn on! yearn on!" she shrieked. "I'H
not stay thee.' His voice had sunk to
whisper, and he sobbed convulsively. Fire
flashed from her eyes and ignited the powder
on her face; it went off with loud explosion
and never came back. She was corpse, but
she did not mind it. She stopped and fond
ly caressed his feet-so large and strong
and shed three bitter tears. He pulled an
onion from his pocket and ate it; his voice
became strong; he breathed into her ear his
tale of love- She recoiled as if bitten by
and, fixing upon him look of
scorn, breathed her last. Seizing her by the
throat, he severed her jugular vein, and in
two minutes she breathed her last. He plant
ed her, but she never grew any larger. Then
he died, and that year butter went up to 81
q pound Such is not life!

The Cincinnati board of education has de-
cided to dismiss all female teachers who are
married. The Hartford Post makes the fol
lowing sensible comment on this proceeding:
'1f, as mothers. they continued as teachers,
1t is possible that their teaching qualities
would be improved The trouble with many
unmarried female teachers is that their in
terest In teaching is more with reference to
personal support during the courtship period
than to the education of children; and it is
perhaps an open question whether woman
who is already married is not, on the whole,
quite as well qualified to teach as one who is
not married but wants to be-" izs, .es.

q An invention has just been made by firm
of German gun manufacturers which prom
ises to add very greatly to the power of artil
lery. Hitherto the fear of premature explo-
sions during the transport or filling of SHELLS
has prevented any large employment of nitro
elycerine, and certain other extremely -vio-
lent but easily infammable explosives, for
the purpose of rging them. It's claimed
for tn. new invention that it will enable such
substances to be used without danger. The
interior of the shell is divided into number
of cells, which are to contain substances nom
explosive in themselves, but which, when
combined, form powerful explosive. The
walls of the cells must therefore be broken
up before an explosive charge is formed with
in the shells and the inventor proposes to
make these partitions of such strength that
while they win Withstand ordinary jolting
they will be shattered by the shock to which
a projectile is subjected when fred from a
gun.

This is fast age, and it may not be long
before cars moved by electricity will come
into general use. The electric tramway
which Dr. Siemens has constructed in Ber-
lin, between the suburb of Lichtenfelt and
the cadet school, distance of nine kilome-
tres, or over five miles, is now in regular use
for passengers, and is giving great, and, to
the public, unexpected satisfaction. The
rails are of the ordinary railroad pattern,
but the gauge is only single metre. A
speed of thirty miles an hour is easily at
tainable. Some of the advantages of the
employment of electricity as power are
stated as follows: A great saving in the
force required to move the train, as there is
NO boiler. water or coal required to be car
ried with it. The cars can be built much
lighter, as no dead weight is transported, and
are much more easily controlled by the
brakes in stopping. The electric engine oc-
cupies little space underneath the car, is of
small weight and free from danger. -

The Country's Exchanges.

New York, 20. = The Pubzic'S
weekly table of clearing house
transactions shows an increase in
all towns, except Baltimore, where
the decrease is 1913 ger cent. Fol
lowing are the increases in detail :
New York, 50.7; Boston, 57.1; Phila-
delphia, 2S.2; Chicago, ASS; Cincin-
natl, 38.4; St. Louis, &c; Louisville,
93.S; San Francisco, 46.7; Pittsburg,
23.7; New Orleans, 22.2; Milwaukee,
16: Providence, 1873; Hartford, 2S.5 &;
Kansas City, %; Indianapolis, 45.7 ;
Cleveland, 1874; New Haven, IA;
Lowell, 9.3. Louisville is the city
of most remarkable gains this week /;
but five other cities exceed forty
per cent, and the returns are in no
respect indicative Of a shrinkage in
the volumn of legitimate business.
For some time Boston has been in
creasing it's exchange at heavy
rate, which indicates considerable
diversion of trrflic from other
cities; and yet New York,
which has certainly suffered
to some extent from the reduction Of
railroad rates, does not appear to be
doing badly. Baltimore falls be-
hind this week in the exchanges and
has gained very little for several
weeks past, but there is no reason to
suppose that the war of rates has
caused any important diversion Of
traffic from that city, though it
seems to the disadvantage of Baltl-
more and Philadelphia. There has
cotton, pork products, and beefstuffS
which is not of healthy character
but it does not find trade in such a
condition as to make any serious
disturbance possible. In short, the
legitimate business of the country
is, on the whole, healthy, as well as
very large, and one must stand very
close TO the stock exchange IN order
to see cloud on tie horizon.

THE WHITE HOUSE.
The President is Better Than
Any Day YeE.

Executive Mansion, II p.m.-The
President has improved ste dilv all
day, and his condition tonight is
every way satisfactory. He has
taken rather more than the usual
amount of liquid nourishment, but
has been allowed no solid food since
the manifestation of gastric disturb
ance on Monday, except toast satu-
rated with the juice of roast beef or
steak. The fever, which came on
late to-day, was very light, and has
at this hour nearly abated. The usual
amount of sulphate Of morphia was
administered hypodermically this
evening and the patient is now
asleep. ALI his symptoms are as
favorable as could be desired.
The President is better than any
day yet, and mending fast. He had
a long and good sleep last night, and
was refreshed and stronger to-day,
his pulse this morning being Sc, or
within eleven Of the normal point.
The other conditions are natural.
Bliss says the President is getting
along speedily. and we could not
ask for greater progress than he is
making. "DO you consider him out
of danger, DOctor?" asked the re-
porter HE is convalescing finely"
replied the doctor; "There are dan
gers yet, but so remote that we do
not really fear them. Still they might
arise. He is not absolutely safe yet
from blood poisoning, but that dan
ger is not more than a possibility.
He looks better to-day than ever be-
fore. The lines of his expression
are better and more natural. He is
gaining strength right along. His
appetite and digestion are good. He
is stronger to-day than yesterday,
and, indeed, the improvement each
day over the preceding is plain. He
has lost thirty pounds. He feel S he
will recover and we encourage him
to think so. Once he had for sew
eral days very little hopes"

The California Land Case.

Washington, 20.-The secretary Of
the interior, to-day, referred the
case of the Central Pacific Railroad
against the State of California, in
Y0lving the right to the title to GER
tain lands within the limits of the
company's grant, in Alameda
County, to the encouragement for
an opinion on the questions of law
involved. This action on the part
of Secretary Kirkwood will probably
result in a speedy and final settle
ment of the long contested case.
The lands in question were selected
by the State of California as an in
demnity school tax. After they had
been withdrawn by the department
for the benefit of the road, they
were certified to the state in Sep
TENDER, 1870. The company, how
ever. has fully completed its road,
and has therefore en- cred its lands
under the original granting act. In
June, 1879, when the case was first
brought before the department.
| SchurZ, in a decision, held that While
he was of the opinion that the COM
pany had the better right to the
lands, yet he considered the certifi-
cate to the state the final act of the
department, equivalent to a patent,
and therefore that he had no further
| jurisdiction over the lands, nor any
authority to issue patents to the
railroad. The company subse-
quently filed an application with
SchurZ for a reconsideration OF
so much of his decision as
denied the jurisdiction and power
Of the department to,issue patents to
the railway company. No further
action was taken by Secretary
SchurZ. Secretary Kirkwood, soon
after taking charge of the depart
ment, took the case under considera,
ton and submitted a statement OF
the facts relating to it to the attOr,
ney-general, requesting his opinion
upon the following questions of law
First, had the department jurisdic-
ton in the premises, and, second, Is
there authority under the general
laws and express provisions of the
granting act of July, 1862, to issue
patents to the railroad company fOl
| the lands in questions.

Sitting Bull's Surrender.

St. Paul, 20-The Pioneer Press
has the following special from Fort
Buford: Sitting Bull and about 200
people arrived at exactly u o'clock
to-day, and surrendered their arms
and ponies to Maj. Brotherton. NO
speeches have yet been made as
Bull and his orators are fatigued
and hungry. They were placed IN
compartments between the post and
boat landing and are as secure IN
Mai. Brotherton's care as If IN
irons. A correspondent visited Bull
after his lodge was erected and
cheered the old man by In
forming him that he had seen his
lost daughter, who the Canadians
had told him, was in chains, only a
short time before, and that she was
well and happy. He expressed a
desire to talk after he had rested
and eaten. The cavalcade, as 1t
fled into the garrison. attracted
much attention. 1t consisted OF SIX
army wagons, loaded with squaWs
and children. followed by twenty
five or thirty of the Red river carts
well filed with baggage. Sitting
Bull himself and his chiefs and
head men rode their ponies and did
not dismount and shake hands TILL
they arrived at the place fixed upon
for their camp. Bull has seemed
more sullen and insolent than any
of the chiefs he has under his
management. 1t is thought kind
treatment will soon pacify him.
Government accepted his surrender
in good faith. a dispatch was for
warded to Standing Rock informing
Crow Wing and Low Dog OF Sitting
Bulls arrival, and it was belleYed
that this news would remove any de,
sire the Indians there might have 20
leave the agency.

At Albany.

Albany, 2O.-The prospects for the
election tomorrow are no better
than last night. The stalwarts still
clamor forl a caucus and say they
are willing to sign a paper that they
will vote in caucus. The supporters
of the administration, however, de-
clair that it is now too late to enter
tain proposition for caucus, as to
hold one would place Senator-elect
Miller in an equiYocal position. The
situation now is one simply of OBJ
struction on the part Of Conklinites.
Itlis believed the election will be
deferred until the governor has
signed the bill in relation to the
manner of holding special elections.
which will probably be transmitted
for his approval the present week.
