The Difference.

One day we rode fifty miles in rail-
way car, seated behind four men who
were playing with those awful play
things of the devil-cards. They played
eucher until they were tired of it. They
played little seyen-up, pedro and oc-
casionally trife of poker. We never
heard dispute. Their bursts of merri-
ment occasionally at some unexpected
play repeatedly drew our eyes from our
book. They never quarreled and never
called names once. After we got out at
our station we sat at the window and
watched party of young men and maid
ems playing croquet. In fifteen minutes
we saw two persons cheat successfully.
We heard the one player who did not
cheat accused of cheating five times. We
heard four distinct bitter quarrels. We
heard beautiful young girl tell two lies
and meek-looking young man three,
and finally we saw the young girl throw
her mallet against the fence so hard that
it frightened horse; the other young
girl pounced her mallet so hard on the
ground that it knocked the buds off an
apple tree-they both banged into tie
house at different doors, and the two
young men looked sheepish and went of
after drink. Now, why is this thus !

Racing With a Storm.

The following narrative of o race with
q storm, in balloon, is given by a rep
resenta6ve of the Philadelphia Times,
who, with lady friend, accompanied
Professor Samuel A. King in an nscen.
sion from that city: The balloon kept
on falling until the drag-rope whipped
along through the tops OF the trees, only
about one hundred and fifty feet below.
70 the left clearing was discovered
with farmhouse upon it. Strong and
sponses. Head us off Catch the
drag-rope !" shouted the captain OF the
air ship, but the drag-rope whipped
merrily along over the trees skirting the
clearing and defied capture. Matters
were coming to crisis. The shadow of
the coming storm upon the trees in the
distance was black as night. The Pro-
lessor st with the neck of bag of bal
last in his hands as the balloon sailed
over swamp covered with tall cedars.
1t would be impossible to land here.
The water was neck deep. The balloon
would have thrashed itself to pieces in
short order. Down went the air vessel
rs If to reconnoitre. A cold current
struck her. 1t was the advance guard
of the storm. With the swiftness of an
express train the great gas bag flew
along. "Look out Brace yourself
wellr' sang out the Professor, as it be-
came evident that the balloon would
strike. The shock came and the basket
rushed through the tree tops and then
bounded up again. Down she came
again and dashed in among the cedars
as if trying to level them. A little more
sand was thrown out and the basket
cleared the trees and in a moment more
the dangerous swamp had been cleared.
1t was high time The storm was al
most upon the balloon. Now look out
for yourselves :" and the Professor threw
over the anchor as the gas bag fioated
over dry spot covered with bushes and
small trees. ave must come down
here, and I'll explode the balloon, if
necessary" The anchor caught and
held, and the balloon careened over and
went up above the trees. The valve
was opened and the gas rushed out But
not half fast enough. The wind in
creased and the balloon tugged to get
free. The Professor seized the collaps-
ing cord. In an instant the balloon was
rent from top to bottom. Out went the
gas with a rush, and down came the bal
loon. 1t fell over some high bushes in
the form of tent Then the rain de-
scended in torrents, and there, in the
midst of Jersey forest and in the midst
of little tornado the voyage Of the
Comet was ended. She had been IL the
air an hour and half.

Where the Apostles Rest.

Catholic authorities state that the re-
mains of the apostles of Christ are now
in the following places: Seven are in
Rome-namely, Peter, Philip, James
the Lesser, Jude, Bartholomew, Mat
thias and Simon. Three are in the
kingdom of Naples, Matthew at Salerno,
Andrew at Amalfi, and Thomas at Or
tano. One in Spain, James the Greater,
whose remains are at st. Jago de Com
postells. OF the body of st. John, the
evangelist, the remaining one of the
twelve, there is no knowledge. The
evangelists Mark and Luke are also in
Italy-the former at Venice and the lat
ter at Padua. st. Pauls remains are
also believed to be in Italy. Peters
are, of course, in the church at Rome,
which is called after him, as are also
those of Simon and Jude. Those OF
James the Lesser and of Philip are IN
the Church of the Holy Apostles Bar
tholomew's in the church on the island
in the Tiber, called after him; Matthias
are in Santa Maria Maggiore, under the
great altar Of the renowned Basilica.

Under Cover Of the Onera.

A young lady at the opera in Wash
ington the other night, sitting in front
of young spooney and a girl in a
Gainsborough hat, having enjoyed de-
llclous treat, narrates the following
scene, more realistic than any make-be-
lieve business on the stage:
The girl: O'.h | wrote such a long
letter home to-day-seven pages
He: What! sevenr'
She; Yes; and the postman didn't
come, and | opened it and wrote seven
more"
He: Il wish you'd write me letter"
She (tenderly): why, what could
| write?''
He: "You needn't write but three
words"
She: ''Three words? What can they
be?''
He: Three nice little words"
She: "Oh, my! Amt you stranger
This knocks the young man out of
time for minute, and during that per-
iod the music had chance But he
comes up again smiling, u little disfig-
ured, but still in the ring.
He: "Oh, you know"
She: mo, indeed | DON'T
He: 'Well, I'll tell you some other
time.
The chorus comes down toward the
footlights with unmistakable intent to
howl, and during the preliminary fidd-
ling the Observation-Disclosures
enough young girl says, with sweetly-
shrinking timidity:
Cant you tell me while they're
singing?n
Thena tlendish yell from the chorus
breaks off shorter than could possibly
be anticipated, and his voice is heard
with startling distinctness:
Il love you. Couldn't you write
that?'
"Oh, my! yes, and ever SO much
more.
And then the tenor clutches the prima
donna by the back hair and yells bloody
murder into her right eyebrow, and the
young man and the young woman lean
so hard on the arm of the orchestra
chair that her vaccination mark bushes
like an aurora borealis.

AMONG THE ssTAR HEELS,
Trouble Brewing In North Carolina for the Bour-
hon Rosses


WASHINGTON, Special to Chicago
Herald: One of the most prominent
Democratic members of the North
Carolina delegation talked quite freely
to your correspondent to-day regarding
the political situation in his state. He
was not inclined to concede, even if he
thought so. that the recent action of the
Republican State Convention indorsing
the Liberal ticket would revolutionize
the politics of the state, and overthrow
the Democrats. He thought that the
fight would be the bitterest one for
many years, but that the Democrats
would profit by the experience of the
party in other states, and have liberal
Republican put in nomination in every
county where the Republicans indorse
as their candidate one of the so-called
Liberal Democrats. The issue will be
one of color whether the negroes in the
counties where they are in the majority
shall control the county offices or the
white voters and taxpayers. 1t is the
purpose of the Democratic leaders to
force this issue before the people, and
they believe that majority of the voters
are not prepared to allow each county
to control its local offices. but to have
the Legislature name them, as now, and
in this way keep the Republicans and
the negroes from having any offices
even in the counties where they have de-
cided majorities. As the magistrates
name the Commissioners of elections
and other local officers, the importance
OF the Democrats obtaining the present
system will be readily understood. AL
though the member of the delegation
was quite DESTROYS to leave the i'm
preston from his talk that he consider
cd North Carolina Democratic by good
majority, yet he was disposed to qualify
some of his statements regarding the
Legislature He said he thought the
Democrats would carry it unless the
liberal movement among the sorehead
Democrats, as he termed them, was
more general than now appeared, in
which event the matter would be in
doubt. There were number of Demo-
Gratis of local influence who, to obtain
had united with the Republicans
and if they had any constituency behind
them the Democrats would have a hard
pull to getthrough all right.
