Salaries Of Correspondents.

In the way Of salaries the Washing-
ton correspondents are, of course, UNI
der-paid. Mr.. Charles Nordhoff, who
has. for so many years, represented the
New York Herald in this city, received
a salary of $4,000 per- annum. A
number of others-seceive $4,000 each,
and from that amount the salaries run
down to low figures. The life of
Washington correspondent is an unusu-
ally busy one. From the time of aris-
ing in the morning until going to bed
at night he has very little rest. He is
omnipresent. He reads the morning
newspapers at breakfast, goes to his
Office and looks over the exchanges to
see whether in the news of the night
before, he '.got left or, as it is termed
in Chicago, ''scooped,' and thence to
the departments on bis way TO the cap
itol. Once there, the committees must
be looked after, and when the session
opens, both branches of congress must
be watched. Alter the adjournment,
members must be interviewed on the
work of the day and on the probabili-
ties of the morrow. Subsequently, to
dinner with what appetite he may have.
News does not work out much until af-
ter dinner. when the politicians assem-
BILE in the hotel corridors to talk over
the affairs of the day and lay plans for
the morrow. Such places seem to be
like clearinghouse for news, and
many valuable points are there picked
up.
When the news has been collected.
and before it is fully digested. the COR
respondent must 60 to his Office and
begin the work of writing it out. The
hundreds of telegraph wires running
out of Washington must be fed in order
that the readers of enterprising news
papers throughout the land, may have
the latest and most accurate news from
the seat of government to accompany
the morning meal. The work of COZ.
respondent is over anywhere from ~ to
3o'clock in the morning.-Cor: Chica.

Mr.. Nye on His Travels.

At Grand Island the other day, says
Mr.. Nye, passenger found three flies
in his tea at the clearinghouse. He
called the waiter to him and said: ''You
are in error about me. You evidently
think am travelling in special car
and putting on a great deal of dog.
I'm riding second-class, without bag.
gage, and am only entitled to one fly.
Give this cup to that big fat man at the
corner table. He is director on the
road and is entitled to three flies in his
tea and dead cockroach between the

A Beautiful Hand.

A beautiful hand is an excellent thing
in woman; it is a charm that never
fails. and better than all, it is q means
OF fascination that never disappears.
Women carry beautiful hand with
them to the grave, when beautiful
face has long ago vanished or ceased to
enchant. The expression of the hand.
too, is inexhaustible; and when the
eyes we may have worshipped no longer
flash or sparkle, the ringlets with which
we may have played, are covered with
q cap, or worse, turban, and the SYM
metrical presence which in our sonnets
has reminded us 50 oft of antelopes
and wild gazelles, have all. all van

disposed to interfere with Matching
geese. When Edison was boy of I
or 8. and still wearing petticoats, boys
clothing being thought by his people
too dear, it was observed by them, at
the farm in Michigan where he was
brought up, that his bare legs were of
ten beaten by the gander. He was told
to keep out of that birds way and to
let the geese alone. The next Spring
hostilities were again declared between
him and the gandcr. One fine morning
Edison disappeared. It was ascertained
that he took with him store Of food.
AS he was still missing at night great
uneasiness was felt. A search was be-
gun next day. The child was found in
q wood, sitting down and holding out
his skirts over sort of straw nest that
he had made and filled with eggs which
he had taken from under an incubating
goose. He wanted to see whether he
could not hatch just as well as that
bird. The idea had set him in fever
for twelve months previously, and he
had not abandoned it. Unphilosophical
parents whipped and scolded him.
An acquaintance, to whom Mich.
gan farmer had told this curious anec-
dote, went to Edison and asked whether
it was not fabulous. mo, it is quite
true," he replied. Il was terribly dis

again. But if went now to hatch

Where jersey Cows Come From.

Jersey Island, the place from which
we obtain the favorite Jersey COW, is q
small spot of land. If squared, it is
six and three-quarter miles each way.
Yet this little island has q population Of
60, 900 human beings, and has over 49,
600 cattle, and has had that number for
the last twenty years, for the census of
1861 gives ~, 037. And yet they export
on an average annually 1000 head.
Roughly speaking, on this island they
manage to support one head Of kline to
every acre. A good Jersey will yield
half her own weight in butter year
she rarely exceeds 800 pounds, and her
average weight at home i about 700
pounds. g1zSar --->-.->

Irving's Home,

Washington 1rving's home of Sunny
side remains within and without just as
he left it. The house is small, but snug
and commodious. and his study is q
very agreeable room with the morning
sun upon it. When he settled there
the situation was delightfully."- quiet and
secluded. but to-day the triple track of
railroad, just below the bluff on which
the cottage is perched. involves consid-
cradle noise of traffic. and, what is
worse, screaming of steam whistles.
The place, which is in very nice order,
is tenanted in summer by the two maid
en- daughters of his brother.

Sandwich Ull.J Special to Chicago Trihuuo.
A profound sensation WAS caused last
| evening by the news OF the death OF
Mrs. Jas. A. Lay. About year ago,
while the family lived III State Center,
! Iowa, her son, w. X. Lay, appeared as Il
| prophet and announced the end of the
! world as soon coming. He has since
published several pamphlets, alleged
revelations OF coming events. Last fall
the whole family came to Sandwich,
! their former home. \ few weeks ago it
became known that Mrs. Lay was tx
pected to he, ONE he mother of another
prophet, who WAS to be the Elijah, an
immediate me sengcr Of Christ About
four weeks ago the mother thought she
abstain from food until the birth of the
child. 1t Is said she tasted
twenty-eight days, when yesterday, her
brother, Hon. W. W. Sedgwick, one of
the most intelligent and right-thinking
men III the whole community, seeing
his sister was dying, demanded she be
given some nourishmeut. 1t was given
against the protest OF the family, who
seemed to share III the delusiOn, but il
was too late. The mother died from the
effects OF fHsting last evening 4 post

traces of the expected infant prophet
We're discovered, thus effectua1ly dis
polling the delusion which had already
reached such a tragical conclusion. The
young Elijah, who was expected to de-
yelop into u full-fiedged prophet before
he was year Old, WAS myth. The |
event has caused a profound sensation. !
Mrs. Lay, the victim of the delusion, |
has always been regarded as 4 most IN

-%ar Nicaragua Whent.

From all parts Of this and adjoining
counties, comes the report that the Mic
aragua wheat crop is the finest ever
raised in Texas. In quality, acreage and
yield to the acre, the crop will be many
times III excess of that of any other
year. The farmers planted, so largely OF
this, for two reasons, one of which is
that it is more hardy than other va
rietles, yields more and Is less liable TO
various attacks, from which grain suf-
fers so much III his country; another
reason is that the millers have an
nounced that they can now convert it
into good flour, and the large buyers
hold the inducements of good Eu-
ropean market. With the extraordinary
yield this year, if the prices are anything
within reason, and it proves at all re-
munerative to the farmer, this grain
will become one Of the leading products
here. 1t Is beyond dispute surer crop
than any other variety and is beyond
comparison with thom in yield Far
mers and others will watch with interest
to see what kind Of market is furnished
for this years crop and what prices are
paid for these two things Will decide the
