An Untimelv Invitation.

While at Cologne, the unsavory, the
prince and princess of Wales threw the
prima donna Trebelli into llutter.
That favorite and favored singer was
sleeping the sleep of just sopranos at
6:30 in the morning when a violent
knocking at her door aroused her.
With visions of fire or earthquake, she
rushed to inquire the cause of the I'M
secmly clamor. An awe-stricken SER
want informed her that the royal high
nesses the prince and princess of Wales,
learning that she was in the house, had
sent their compliments and desired her
to breakfast with them before they set
out for Wiesbaden. The local chroni-
cler declares that no vocalist ever tried
to dress SO quickly, and that no lady
ever wasted so many pins, fastened SO
many buttons wrong at the top and had
to do them all over again, more unsuc-
cessfully attempted to do her hair prop
erly, or ever managed to lose every
thing save her natural good temper. In
what inconceivabe brief space of time
the throwing aside of night costume and
the donning of the habiliments of day
really were effected need not be told.
At length, ut any rate, everything was
right, and Nine. Trebelli descended to
the breakfast room, to receive very
hearty greeting from the prince and
princess. The royal party included the
two sailor princes, who chartered volu-
bly, about their voyage. Nine. Trebelli
is one of the most entertaining takers
in the profession. The conversation
with the royal party lasted about an
hour, and at $50 the prince and princess
left the two sailor boys insisting that
Mime. Trebelli should come down the
stairs to the carriage to see them of. :.

THE
New York Tribune
STRONG, CLEAN, ENTERPRISING,
Tie Largest Circulation Among tee Best
People.

Rejoicing with its readers in the better
times which reign throughout the country,
THE TRIBUNE finds itself at the beginning of
a new business year enjoying its own fair
share of the prevalent prosperity aud pre-
pared to make all its several editions thor
oughly complete, entertaining and valuable.
The first aim of THE TRIBUNE is to be the
best and foremost paper of America. 1t has
its own telegraph line to Washington, it uses
the cables freely, and it scours the world for
news, printing all that is useful. 1t tells
what is worth it in detail. The rest is put
into bright short paragraphs Its contents
are fresh, choice, varied and thoroughly I'M
Objectionable in every respect The TRIB-
UNE has long enjoyed the largest circulation
among the best people. 1t intends to let no
rival usurp its place. THE TRIBUNE is the
organ of no individual, of no faction or
clique, and of no interest adverse to the pub
lie good. 1t knows no service other than
that of the people.
THE TRIBUNE believes the well beng of
the country will be best preserved by keep
ing its Government in Republican hands. But
it does not believe in Ring Rule, Bossism or
Corruption in Office. 1t has done hard work
and taken great risks in efforts to purify the
Republican party. It expects To continue in
hat course, wherever and whenever this may
seem needtul-not doubling that this is the
true road to q worthy Republican success in
1854.

The Richest Man in Mexioo.

The richest man in Mexico is proba-
bly, Patricio Milmo, which is the Next
can for Paddy Miles. He owns an es-
tate of 400, 900 acres, and his plantation
has reputation all over the country.
A part of it is cultivated for corn,
grapes, sugar cane and maguey. Mil
mos residence is on the summit-a
handsome stone structure, very large,
and ornamented by cornices and pillars
imported from France and the United
States. The interior is like palace,
and SO rich with gold and silver and
precious stones that the eye is dazzled
with their splendor. Milmo is Presi-
dent of the Bank of Mexico, an institu-
ton with powers and privileges in that
country as great as are the Bank of
England's in Britain.
His father-in-law, Santiago Vidarri,
was executed for supplying money to
revolutionists, and he himself narrowly
escaped q similar death, though he was
connected in monetary sense with the
opposing forces. Since then brigands
have captured him several times, ard
compelled him to pay from $4,000 to
1926, 900 ransom. These adventures have
taught him precaution, and he has
turned the mesa into sort of citadel,
accessible by only narrow path,
INSTRUCTED by an iron gate of enormous
proportions. He has distilleries and
several factories, in which goods are
manufactured for his own use on the
mesa, and intends to retire to his man
sion whenever another instruction is
imminent. 1t is said that when he
came to Mexico he did not have a dol
lar, and got his start in business from
his father-in-law.--St. Louis Repubh-
can.

BISMARCK, Oak, March 22.-The scene of
the Mandan accident on the Northern Pacific
railroad is eleven miles west of Bismarck, in
Soapslone cut, on Sweet Briar creek. The
train was working train, having lot OF
sleeping cars for the Workmen and fifty men
in all, and was going at the rate of ten miles
an hour. A wheel on the front truck Of the
fat car broke, the truck jumped the track
and dragged along until the bridge was
reached, when the first sleeper, having
twenty four men aboard, was precipitated in
the river, distance of thirty feet, striking
on its Sides The second sleeper followed in
the same way, and then the dining and
kitchen cars tumbled down and were broken
into splinters The bedding of sleeper No l
caught fire at once, and the dying sufferers
were nearly roasted alive. All the deaths
occurred in this Car, Those who escaped
triea vainly to put out the flames. 1t is be-
lieved that seven of the eight killed were
either dead or unconscious when the flames
reached them. Only one voice was heard
crying ''help!" but no help could be given
and be gradually 'oasted to death. The
killed were: A. L.. Johnson, Thos. Wilson,
VIM. Watson, Thos Grady, Geo. Moses, Jas
O'Brien, VIM McAndrews, and an unknown
man. Only two of the others were seriously
injured. The Coroner found that no one
was to blame for the accident. The dead
were buried here and the sick are being ten.

passengers for Montana and the western ter

grants to this territory had to be left behind

Fairy tales have not the vogue they

that their prosaic little minds needed

Hood and his men, Friar Tuck, and
King Richard, OF any of the long list of
Waverley-novel heroes. A move has
been made in the right direction. of
late, by the publication Of certain
classics of literature in a form suited to
children's capacity. Such are the
abridged editions of Froissart's Chroni-
Gle, Mallory's King Arthur, and other
books which have noticed on book
sellers counters. Some of these are,
unfortunately, gotten up with so much
elegance that people Of moderate

written ones do not approach the old

When completed the railroad bridge
over the Missouri river, at Bismarck,
Dakota, will be one of the finest struc-
lures in the United States. The bridge
will be mile and half long, and re-
qUires two years more for its compile
ton. The stone for the caissons were
brought from Sank Rapids, more than
800 miles eastward, in Minnesota.
These caissons are sunk forty or fifty
feet down in the quicksands of the riv-
er in order to form a firm foundation.
1t is impossible to find terra frma in
the bed of the Missouri, the Platte and
many other streams. When a section
Of the suspension bridge over the river
at Omaha was blown into the river, it
quickly disappeared. A few hours later,
when Workmen with necessary machin-
cry endeayored to grapple the section,
it had entirely disappeared beneath the
Quicksands, and they were unable to
discover it. some four years ago a
waterspout carried away, in the spring,
the Kansas Pacific railway bridge over
the KiOwa creek, some fifty miles east
of Denver. A freight train plunged
over into the treacherOus flood. A body
of workmen were sent for from Law
renee, 600 miles away, to fish out the
train. The editor Of the american Ag.
ricukaWjst was there about five months
afterward, and he says the men had re-
covered the freight cars. They mad not
yet, however, discovered the engine, for
which they were still exploring by
means of long poles.

Children's Books.
April Atlantic.

Children's books abound nowadays
but question if children are as we'll off
as when their libraries were scantier
The opportunity for choice is so large
that parents are commonly too Devil
dered to make selections, and end by
taking the book the bookseller recon-
mends, or which recommends itself by
having the greatest number of pictures.
Of illustrated books there are now q
hundred where there used to be one. IL
lustratiOn is in itself a good thing when
the work is as well done as we find it
to-day, but, except for the smallest
juveniles, it ought not to be made of
more importance than the text. 1t is
well-known fact that many publishers
select pictures, and then order a story
written to fit them; an author so ham
pered can never produce so good work
as though his invention were given
free play, and the result of his labor is
often Of the poorest. Comparatively
few fathers and mothers interest them
selves seriously to provide the best
possible mental food for the growing in
telligences in their charge. The want
of a sense of responsibility in this mat
ter is as astonishing as with regard to
matters more important still. A child's
mind is just as much dependent for its
best development Or the quality of the
food furnished it as its body is upon
its physical support. A child often gets
more real mental culture from brows-
ing at will in its fathers library than it
gets from all its school lessons. The
schoolteaching is mainly good Tor dis
cipline of the mental faculty, second
arily for information; while the read
ing of books may be made powerful
instrument for moral training as well
as for education of the higher qualities
of the intellct-imagination, humor
and the like. There is notion of the

THE TURN OF THE XEAR
By ROSE TERRY COOKE.

The days are brief, and dark, and cold;
The barren field are brown and sere;
The world is chill, the world is old,
And speeds the flying year,
The birds and flowers are gone away,
Or sleep IN mother earth's warm breast.
But / amid the storms must stay,
And toll and never rest
Hush, heart unquiet and dismayed
Soon shall the sun in strength return
Why dost thou mourn. of life afraid
Soon the black year will turn.
The darkest day preludes the light,
However man Its depth bewails;
after the longest, loneliest night
The morning never fails.
What if thy year benearits end
If failing heart and flesh be faint
What if thy lovers, kin and friend,
Be deaf to thy complaint
Even as turns the faithful year
In the slow days Of storm and gloom,
And Spring begins her journey here
To tempt the earth to bloom.
So hall the sun unveil his face
And all these nists in radiance burn.
Wait but this hour take heart of grace;
Thy year begins 20 turn
