GENERAL sKOBELOFF.

NEW YORK, Mrrch "a st. Petersburg
dispatch noting the movements of General
Skobelof, says: The General called upon Ig-
natieff and said when he addressed the Servian
students in Paris he was not aware he was
furnishing newspaper sensation prepared by
the chief editor of the La France, Camille
Farcy, whom he had known of old: The adj
dress to the Servian students was due If net to
the pen, at least to the elaboration of Farcy.
1t had been prepared some four days when he
(Skobeloffl arrived in Paris. His reply was
frank and unreserved, as was to be expected
from a man who did rot suppose
his words would he made public. He had said
nothing, however, that was not whispered by
every one in Russia. No one was more aston
ment his speech caused. Every one sought
to turn it to account, but more especially the
party which is seeking return to power in
France. Even Madame Adam took hand in
it to crafty her personal hatred against Bis
marck, who had insulted her as q woman n
the journals he controls. Thus his so-called
speech was printed on fly sheets and sent to
the regiments and fleet. He was
SO overwhelmed with visiting cards
and ovations from officers, that it was plain
all thought war was imminent with Germany.
From Germany he received piles Of anonym-
GUS letters of the most insulting kind. Some
to question from SkObeloff as to whether the
emperor would send for him, Ignatieff re-
piled the emperor had taken no part whatever
in the recall. 1t was simply an act of military
discipline, with which his majesty had moth
ing to do. Ignatieff added, "this will not pre-
vent your seeing the emperor at a fitting mo-
ment like all other officers OF your rank"

flow, stating they are the most disastrous and
widespread ever occurred, and resulting in
destruction correspondingly great. The very
lowest estimate of restitution is placed at
$4,000 persons. Many residents of the back
counties have taken refuge in the hills east and
their immediate wants provided for through
local aid. From Tunica county to Greenville
the people are compelled to take1 refuge in
such buildings as are left standing on the
levees. In most cases the only means Of
communication is by skiffs. With 100000 ra-
tions already sent; 80, 900 more are on the way
from st. Louis, and with local aid furnished
by Mississippi the restitution in this district
will be provided for until the 30th inst.
Everything shows the destitute must be cared
for at least thirty days from date, which will
require additional twenty days. rations for 49,
OOO persons, making total of 800, 600 rations.
Many planters say it will he five or six weeks

A Draped Locomotive.


burlington daWkeye.J
''To me-" tie sad passenger said, there is
something inexpressibly mournful in draped
locomotive, and especially so when it is draped
in mourning for dead engineer. The presi-
dent of railroad company stands long way
from the engine, and when he dies the engine
mourns as we sorrow for a rich uncle whom we
never saw and who left US nothing. But the
man who was part of the engines life, who
spurred her up the long, steep climbing noun
tain-grades, and coaxed her around dizzy
curves, and sent her down the long level
stretches with the flight of an arrow; who
knew how to humor all her caprlces, and coaxed
and petted and urged her through binding
storms and rayless night, and blistering heat
and singing cold, until engine and engineer
seemed TO be body and soul OF one existence
then, when this man at last gets ms maj Of
ders and crosses the dark river alone, with
only the fadeless target-lights of sure and eter-
nal promise cleaning brightly on the other
side, and when there is new man on the
rioht-hand side and a new face looks out OF the
engineer's window, then think l can see pro-
fonnd and sincere sorrow in the painting spirit
of power, standing in the station, draped WIN
fiuttering sable emblems OF its woe, waiting
for the caressing touches OF the dead hands
that ii will never feel again. And engineers
tell me that for days and days the engine is
fretful under the new hands-it is restless and
moody, starts off nervously and impatiently
sometimes, and then drops into sulien g@ie anu
loses time-that no man can get SO mucn OUT
of an engine as its own engineer, "Do you
remember only year OR two ago." the Jester
said, "only last summer, believe it was, an

Where Cigarettes Come From.

[Philadelphia Times.l
"Nica lota grassa-hop," said Giuseppe Koccas
in half tone of inquiry, while his soft Italian
eyes took in the CARLOAD of old cigar stumps
that were toasting in the sun In the rear Of S16
Carpenter street on Saturday afternoon. In
that great pile of filthy, nicotine-soaked stumps
were the remnants of Henry Clays and Wheel
ing stogies, reduced to common level, as the

de stump; everybod gotta de mon" Exhaust
ed by this dialectic explanation, Mr.. Rocco
showed his teeth in a smile, and lazily scratched
his back against the jamb of the door. There
were ten bushels of the stump laid out to dry
and twice that quantity of cured butts were
seen in third-story room. Rocco is one OF
half dozen Italians on Carpenter and Chris
tan streets who make business of buying
cigar stumps from the horde of youthful scav-
engers who live in the italian quarter OF that
city. An active boy or girl will collect half a
bushel of the stumps in an hour or so, the work
being done between daylight and o'clock, and
between those hours all the principal streets in
the heart of the city are CLEANED. The chill
dren receive no fixed price for the stumps, but
10 or 10 cents pailful is usually paid. The
buyers, men like Rocco, wash the flthiest
stumps and spread them out to dry. A day or
SO later they are crumbled into shreds and al

The apparent necessity for the use OF exple-
tives as part of human speech is a mysteri-
GUS but well-ascertained fact, and we must say
there is no nation, kindred, tongue or people
where the voice of the superfuous expletive is
not heard. To small effect do moralists and
sages preach against profanity if they them
selves stray in any of the side-paths that skirt
the great highway of swearing. Even the
good Quaker who reproved his profane plow-
man for the oaths with which he accomplished
the breakiDg-up of particularly stony piece
of ground, when dared to make the trial for
himself lspsed into continual calculations OF
"WelI, never! 1 never saw the beat!-'-
which, as the profane one pointed out, meant
swearing, and had an element of "story-tell-
ingn counted in. Many and various are the
formulas that have been invented to serve the
need of poor human nature in stress that calls
for expletives, while conscience forbids the use
of the "big, big D." and all its sinful kin;
they range from the coarseness of the mouth
filling and formidable 'gorm it, to the prim
mildness of "dear me" and the inanity Of 'la
suzI' They are biographical, personal. legend
airy; witness christopher Columbus "Great
Anything will answer the purpose of an exple-
tive, whatever that mysterious purpose may
be, but there is class of sounds that seem to
answer the hidden need-"to go to the right
spot'-better than others; words beginning
with g soft appear to have peculiarly satisfy
ing effect The remarkable compound gee
whickety'' was probably invented to secure the
sound of that favored letter; also the ad]ura-
tions for "Jerusha!" SO frequently heard. .Je-
rusaem!" is a popular favorite, possibly hav-
ing some family sacred association; but none
such can appertain to the ejaculation of "Job
jackson" which is used with apparently Salts
flying effect, though having no association with
any citizen of that name. Where other SOUNDS
are preferred, there is generally some meaning
or shadow of meaning attached to them. The
mysterious ejaculation of "good grammany' is
probably a modification of words more distinct
" traceable in the negro "goramity." Con
shocken," geographical expletive which
might have been chosen simply for its sono-
rous qualities, was probably derived from the
more ordinary ''my conscience" "Lawamas-
sy' needs no interpretations; and prim little
''dear me" turns out to be only the Italian
''Dio nliO'' in disguise. Whether matters are
much improved by all these weakening modi-
fcations of the big SD" aforesaid may be
doubted. 1t was counted a grace in Lady Her
on to swear
'tHer pretty oaths by yea and nay"
but Hotspur, revolving utterly against such
"mincing sarcenet oaths," bids his Kate, II
she must swear, to use "a good mouth hlling
oath, perhaps in the style OF those for which
Queen Bess was so justly famous. 1t progress
in that direction is not now to be recommend
ed, it woald do no harm, on the other hand,
to guard little more closely the portals OF our
speech, refraining as much as may be. FROM the
use of explosives which at the best are idle and
inexpensive, and at heir worst only one re-
move from open profanity.
