SIr. Travers and Two Confidence Men.

Mr.. William r. Travers tells the fol.
lowing story on himself, and voucheS for
its being new and true one: AS he was
leaving his Office on Thursday last a
well-dressed man approached him aud,
greeting him very cordially, said |:
"How do you do, sirp / am very glad
to see you' When did you arrive in the
cityp'' s.. -
"E-~-er--e--ex-c.c-c-cuse meme,
SIR" said Mr.. Travers. "You---vou have
evidently mis-mis mistaken me for
s's-s-s-somebody else.''
Are you not Mr.. Andrews, of Pough-
keepsiep" queried the man.
"N.n-no, sir; my name is Tr- -Trav-
ers," he replied, whereupon the man,
with many apologies, made off.
MIR. Travers quietly walked up Broad
way, looking in the shop windows, as is
MS habit, when he was suddenly stopped
bby man, who, rushing up to him, of.
Tered his hand and said: "How do YOU
DO, MIR. Traversp am SO glad to see
you! heard you were In town and
have teen looking out for you every
where.' V'oJ

The art of shorthand Is, it appears,
to be superseded by one of tho queerest
inventions on record. The revolution
is to be effected by means of machine
called q "glossograph," consisting of
six levers, forming sort of cage, each
communicating with tracing pencil.
The use to be made of the "glosso-
graph" is rather curious. While the
orator or lecturer is holding forth, the
reporter is to repeat the words of the
speaker with his tongue in the cage.
Thus tho quickest conversation, some
London journals tell us, may be taken
down with ease. The ludicrcus aspect
which this new invention assumes may
be an obstacle to its adoption.-N. Y.

Weeds Live Where Useful Plants Would
S Die,

In the driest weather our gardener
was directed tc use n long, narrow knife
IN cutting off the roots OF the dandelon
plants Mt q point four or iivo inches
from the surface, with the view of de-
stroying them. Within sixty hours,
without q drop Of rain, and the soil
without moisture, the plants spronted
from the root-stump and came up Wig
orously, md covered the spot as before.
The cutting OF the plants again, aud
covering tho fresh incision with a few
grains OF salt. did not arrest growth;
but q drop of strong sulphuric
acid applied directly TO the wound
apparently destroyed vitality 1t is
not certain, however, that in the
spring they will not again appear in
unusual freshness and vigor What has
been stated regarding the dandelion
and its tenacity OF life applies to most
no2ious weeds. and the question comes
up; Why is it that plants that We do
not want, that are an injury TO the
fields, have capabilities of growth,
when valuable plants around them are
killed? 1t seems to be law in nature
that whatever is deteSted and efforts
are made to destroy possesses powers
OF endurance and resistance which en-
dow it with remarkable vitality. We
can see no good reason why worthless
weeds should exist at ali; apparently
they serve no good purpose in the
world. If we could remove them from
our folds as readily and as effectively
as we can the wheat or tho maize
plants. it would not he long before they
would cease to annoy us. 1t is prob
able that everything that grows exists
for purpose, and whatever is regarded
SIS an enemy, and needs protection, is
endowed with tenacity of life corre-
spending with its needs. --BoSton Jour-
nal of CheDliskyU

The Prince Of Wales and
the STAGE.

No one can doubt that the example
of the Prince and Princess of Wales
has done much to increase the pop
ularity OF the play and even to elevate
the playhouse. Where royal per-
sonages go ordinary men and women
will follow in herds. The instinct
may be despised or denounced, but it
is inevitable. 1t is as much an eie-
ment in the English character as the
love Of county or the devo: ion to the
throne. The Prince and Priuo ess,
like the other mem bers of their
family, are ast iduous play goers, and
they have caused-as it was certain
from the frat would be the case-the
love of the stage to strike iss roots
deep and 10 extend them widely. Il
might, perhaps. be possible to detect
Ia the thoroughly representative char
acteF which the theatre has gained,
the cause of good deal OF that NIL
mute realism that stamps the Robert
sonian drama. The multitude,
whether it be low-bern or high born,
will always take more interest in q
scene in q London drsWing.room than
in q medi@val palace. But the adj
vantage, represented by this growing
intimacy between all sections of the
English public and the stage, more
thsn any insrtistic drawbacks, real
or imaginary. The mere fact that
there ia no order of ournaticnsl society
of which specimens are not tobe seen
in the theatre is at least q security
that, Whistler the art be good or bad.
the morality. will not be below the
general standard OF the day. The
cotrcive force OF public opinion isAhe
direct product of numbers. When
ever q crowd OF men and women is
assembled a sentiment more or less
wholesome will Immediately assert
itself. Even ii the direct personal
influence of the heir apparent and
bis consort and Of the other Princes
and Princessas of the blood royal had
not been instrumental il pred ocing
some perceptible elevation Of tone,
that effect must, in the nature of
things have been brought about by
the constantly increasing crowds that
have followed in their tIain-LOndon
World.

BLISS LETTER.


Dear Sir-The second trial of the
case Of the United States against
Brady and others is set down for the
first week in December, and the
government will then. [ believe, be
ready with lal ge number of wit
nesses and some new testimony. 1T
seems to me important to the case
and desirable in every respect that
before that time some measures
should be perfected that every man
may know what l know so
thoroughly, that the prosecution is
in dead earnest, from the
President down. To that end
l call your attention to certain
facts, most Of which are unknown.
l address you because the state
ments concern persons in several
distinct departments of the govern
ment, the Marshal Of the District of
Columbia is undoubtedly in SYM
pathy with the defendants and does
not desire that the government
should succeed. Without going
into the furthest details he, during
the last trial, in a public interview,
iudulged in gross abuse of counsel
"McCase," D. B. Anger, Postmaster
at Washington was, with his assist
ant, Parker, deliberately impugned
by the post Office inspectors in re-
gard to the certifcation of bogus
bonds in the star route cases
1t was only question of gross care
lessness or bad faith. AS it was, no
doubt, both of them did acts as al,
legged. Anger is the proprietor of a
newspaper in Michigan; his name
appears on it as such proprietor
During. the last trial he wrote to his
paper over his own signature, de
nouncing the officers who had insti
tuted the persecution, and declared
| the government had no case. Helm
| had been recently appointed by the
| new public printer as the head Of
| one of the departments Of the gov
eminent printing Office. 1t was
sworn on trial by the editor of the
Critic that Helm was the person
who controlled it's columns anC
on the trial there was produced anC
| proved series OF articles grossly
abusive of the court, the govern
ment, counsel and general manage
ment of the case, which was repre-
sented as persecution and withou
foundation. Your attention wa
called some months ago to the cas-
of George E. Spencer, government
director of the Pacific road. TIL
police force of the District of Col
umbia was undoubtedly in the in
terest of the defendant, and it
detectives unblushingly did thei
work. One of them has admitted
that, under oath, in the court. Now
I am quite aware it is very Difficult
to act as to all matters which
l have called your attention
to, but as to some items you can &C
and it seems to me the facts ough
to be brought to your knowledge
You have much to trouble you ant
1 will not willingly add unnecessa-
rily just now, but the circumstance
are such that delay seems impossible
Your obedient servant,
GEORGE BLISS.
