AT LAST we are to have the fast
transcOntinental mail, the first train
having already started from the
east The quick running is all on
roads east of Denver, but the inten-
ton is to shorten the time two days
between New York. and San Fran
cisco. Now if the Pacific roads can
be induced to crowd a few more
miles into an hour, Salt Lake will
be next door to San Francisco and a
very near neighbor to New York.

A County Editors Experience.

The editor of the Little Mesquiter"
at Mesquite, Dallas County, Texas,
has led an eventful life since he started
in few weeks ago. The latest ex.
perience, it set forth in the following:
ITS A BOY.
One Sunday we had a fight and the
next Sunday we had "tea party" at
our house. We don't know which is
the worst, but fellow is less liable to
get hurt in the "tea party business.
The cost of the two, SO far, is about
the same. Its boy. Both mother
and son are doing well. We are not
doing well, and the future is what we
dread. We need sympathy. We
have to count out eggs, weigh butter,
ETC., sell calico and "sich' like the live
long day, not to mention cutting stove
wood and making fires in the morn
ing, and when night comes we have to
work on the MEsoUITER, and we can't
read our exchanges and grind out
squibs and editorials at the store, in
view of the fact that that the store is
always full of loafers at that time. So,
as we can't make MEsQUlTERs at the
store, we have to 60 to house, and
when the two (this late arrival makes
two for us) get to bawling way up in
high key, and the old woman gets to

Base IDgratitude.

As a man named Bell was walking along
by Devils River on the 23d, ultimo, he was
accosted by tramp, named Pat. Bowen, who
asked aims, upon which Bell gave him dol
lar. Bowen then professed to be stranger,
and asked where he could get supper, and
Bell undertook to show him. AS they were
going along in a secluded place, Bowen stood
before his benefactor and said: "Here,
want your money" and at the same time he
produced a rock, which, il is supposed, he
had concealed in his pocket. Bell refused to
comply with his demand. whereupon Bowen
knocked him down, broke his head, tore his
ear and broke two of his ribs. Bell called out
loudly for assistance, and Bowen, hearing some
persons coming, made tracks. A search was
subsequently made for Bowen, and he was
found and handed over to military company.
who, however, would have nothing to do
with the matter and Bowen was released. His
captors then took possession OF Bowen,
thrashed him and shaved off one side of his
hair and his moustache. They then let him
90, but threatened TO lynch him if he was
found in the district after twenty-lourS had
expired. Bowen then went to Bracket where
he got his hair and moustache shaved even.
and then came on to San Antonio. Here, on
Tuesday, Bowen was met by Bell, and at the
request of the latter person Bowen was arrest

Before the justice a bond was required
from Bell for his appearance as prosecuting
witness. Ne explained that the prisoner had
injured him Severely and incapacitated him
from work for several days, and he wished to
have him punished, but being a stranger here
he could not give the required bond Mr.
Hughes has therefore been reluctantly COM
PEELED to release this ungrateful scoundrel on
his promise to leave the city at once which he
has done.

SKOBELOFF.
FLOWERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE,

The St. Louis Globe Democrat s
special Washington correspondent gives
the following gossip about the culture
and use of flowers at the white house,
which will be Of interest to many of
our aesthetic readers:
The white house Conservatives, under the
charge of five gardeners, are forced to their ut
most all of the time to provide the decorative
plants and flowers for the regular use. In the
rose house built for Mrs. Hayes some two hun
dred blossoms ATE cut each day, but for extra
occasions other government green-hC uses are
levied upon, as at the last state dinner goo
roses were used on the table alone, beside the
oceans of volets and heliotropes over which
the primrose ships sailed. A few orange and
lemon trees are kept in the lighthouses, and a
month or so later the grapevines produce their
immense clusters of fruit. The white house
conservatory has the most complete collection
of double geranlums in the city, and some Of
the finest cineraras, or Cape asters, in the
country, the most of the flowers measuring an
inch and half and two inches across their
disks OF shaded purple and white. OF orchids
they have many of the rarest specimens, the
nun flower and the Venezuela butterfly plant
graciously blooming the whole season through.
The large nun flower, with 500 blossoms on a
single plant, that ornamented the state dining
room, has been followed by others with 29S
and $50 blossoms each. The wicked printer
made sunhower out of the clear script of nun
flower on that occasion, and the blum
der was enough to make Asa Gray, Will
liam LIE Due and Oscar Wilde exclaim aloud.
The sunf1ower blooms luxuriantly, but not to
the extent of 500 blossoms on single stalk,
nor is the president aesthetic enough to display
the many ''gaudy, leonine flowers" at once.
The tiny little white nuns, with their sharp
features and their canopy of crimson and rus
set petals, are the most wonderful OF all the
orchid miracles, and the flower is now the
of Lady .Tankville, to whom the first plants
were sent from China some fifty years ago,
and when the first blossoms appeared in her
English greenhouse the superstitous shivered
at seeing all those tiny little shrouded figures,
so exactly like the sculptored saints in cathe-
dral inches. Mrs. Hayes was most ardent
lover of flowers, and a fine botanist as
we'll. Under her care the conserva-
ries were enlarged, the collection of rarites in
creased, and her constant and sympathetic eye
encouraged the gardeners and fairly coayed
the plants to bloom. Besides all that these
greenhouses furnished her, Mrs. Hayes Dough,
quantities Of cut flowers, and baskets and bou-
quets with her card attached were constantly
sent to all the ladies of her acquaintance and
to the distinguished visitors in the city. The
matter of flowers is now a social necessity that
no one dares to disregard, and the florists bill
about matches the caterers on any great oc-
caSion. A JacqueminOt rose costs as much as
craze.

Henry James, while in Washington
lately, is wickedly said by the Boston
Gazette to have asked a'clever young
lady if there was not a river near the
city called the Potomac. "Oh yes"

all about it, because there is place on
it called Mount Vernon, where a man
named Washington lived. You are
sure to have heard of him, you know,
because his father was an Englishman."

RECIPROCAL DUTIES-REPRISAL

Berlin; March THE North German Ga

give serious attention to the question Of repri-
sal by heavy duties on Russian exports.

INDIA.
Calcutta, March 1.-The Indian budget for
1899 contests the views Of the anti-opium
society. The government will not abandon
the Bengal monopoly. The salt duty is now
being reduced to rupees per mound, except
in British Burmah and in the Trans-Indus
districts of the Puniaub. The Budget says
there is no reason why the benefits of free
trade should he withheld from India, and that
therefore all import duties are abolished, ex-
cept those on wine, beer, spirits, ammunition,
salt and opium.

Berlin, March 1.-THE German press is in

that if there was no Russian garrison at War
saw, there would be a German one.
The Voss Gazette, Of Berlin, says either the
Car agreess with General Skobelof, Or he is
powerless against him. The peaceful assur-
ances of Prince Orlof, Russian ambassador at
Paris, therefore, have no value.
St. Petersburg, March 7.-General Skobelof
has received many threatening letters, some
containing challenges from Germans, which
he treats with contempt.
