Then, with long, lingering, regretful

The Original Lecsmstiye.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railway Com
pany will send to the Chicago Railway
Exposition, ameng other articles of their
exhibit. the first locomotive engine built
for their road which proved successful.
This locomotive is the celebrated Ara
bion, No. /, which, like all prominent
objects in Baltimore. has family his
tory, 1t is not, As is generally supposed,
either the first engine built by the COM
pany or the first engine that pulled q
gine was built by Peter Cooper. Pang-
born, in his valuable history of the Bal
timore and Ohio read, says: Cooper
came to Baltimore with an odd looking
contrivance called a steam engine. The
boiler was not a. large as that of mod
ern kitchen range. 1t was about the
same diameter but not moro than half
the height, and had q smokestack that
looked like an aggravated putty blower.
This WAS the first locomotive for rail-
way purposes built in America, and
drew the first passenger car propelled by
steam upon any railway in the wsrld."
This locomotive was beaten by horse
in fair race, and caused the first rail-
way accident that ever occurred In
trying to adjust some gearing that he
had slipped Mr.. Cooper laceratsd his
hand. Mr.. Davis designated ths Arabl-
an. This engine was built at the com
panys shops under the supervision sfits
designer. 1t went into service in June,
1884. 1t is claimed to be the oldest ef-
fectiye locomotive engine in the United
States and perhaps in the wsrld. 1t is a
gearsd engine, haying : vertical cylinder
with walking beam. II has fear driving
wheels, each SO inches in diameter, or
nearly one-half tbs size Of the drivers
used on modern passenger locomotives.
The weight of the Arabian is thirteen
tons, about one-third that of the modern
locomotive. Its tractivs power is 5000
pounds. 1t used to have fans connected
with the exhaust, but those became bro
ken and no attempt has been made to
restore thsm. With this exception it is
the same engine as when first made. 1t
is in active service at the Mt. Glare
yards and works as we'll now as when
first put on the road Washington Re
publican.

William C.. Preston.

One of the true orators which our
country has produced was William C.
Preston. of South Carolina. He was
born in Philadelphia in 1895, but rsmov-
ed to his adoptsd State in 1922. and ten
years later, was elected to the United
States Senate. He may have inherited
his eloquencs. for his grandmother was
a sister of Patrick Henry. We rensu-
ber reading, in our youth, of man who
sat beneath the speakers spell while the
tears rolled down his cheeks. At last
he said to bystander:
who's that speaklng?"
Preston"
who? ?" said the inquirer, with ter
rife scream.
His informer saw that he had to deal
with deaf man, and so he cried, at the
top of his voice:
William c. Preston"
"If you'd be kind enough to speak a
bit louder, sir"
civilian C. Preston, Of South Caroli-
na," replied the indulgsnt party, at the
imminent risk Of splitting his threat.
"Well, WE'LL" said the deaf man, re-
are saying; but, OH doesn't he do the
motions splsndidlyT'
But these motions are sometimes
unique, and it would net do for An un-
skillful orator to attempt them. During
the Clay campaign Of 1874, q Southern
audience Of nearly 10000 assembled to
hear this wonderful man. A large stage
had been erected, which was crowded
with prominent persons, and the multi
tude packed around it. There was the
usual buzz end confusion incident to
such occasions, until after Preston had
been speaking few moments, when it
began TO subsids, and soon there was a
dead silence, except the music of his
wonderful voies. He was in fine coldi-
tion for his work, and went ut it in the
best style. The silence seemed to inten-
sify as the tids Of the slequence poured
over the dense mass of listeners. With
the swell of his sonOrious voice the au-
dience seemed to rise on tiptoe and sink
back again with its ebbing cadsncss;
and then swayed with the sweep of his
arm like the wheat field to the breeze.
At length, in a magnificent burst of in
spiration-with his long arms raised
high, his eyes flashing, and the multi
tude hanging breathlsssly on his words
he seized the brown wig which he
wore. and held it over bis shining bald
head, and, still soaring in his splendid
flight, replaced it crssswise, and scared
on; and there was not, in that vast au-
dience. the slightest ripple of laughter
at this most ridiculous performance,
but, on tho contrary, no one seemed to
notice it, so completely sntrsnced was
every listener-Exc.

A Farmer Who Sees 1t.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
Samuel PEBBLES is farmer in Iowa who
thinks as he sows and reads when he rests.
In his nominations upon the tariff ques-
ton he has settled down to the following
conclusions:
A tariff for revenue only, if it means
anything, implies the following effect:
A general reduction of the existing
duties on imports.
To be followed by large importation
of foreign-made fabrics.
To be followed by falling off in the
demand for those made at home.
To be followed by the closing of Amer
lean workshops.
To be followed by relatively greater
number of men engaged in agriculture.
To be followed by an increase in the
supply of farm products, with no CORES
ponding increase in the demand.
To be followed by reduction of the
farmers profits.
|, for one, do not like it.
Perhaps some robust philosopher who
raises theories instead of corn will rise in
his place, on the call of the states, and
prove that Samuel PEBBLES doesn't know
what he is talking about. Up to the pres
ent time, however, Mr.. PEBBLES, appears
to have a clear majority in his favor.

ALEXANDER DELMAR, in an interest
ing and elaborate history of the dollar,
sums up as follows:
July 6, 17s5, the Spanish dollar was
adopted by the Continental Congress as
its integer of moneys and accounts. At
this date the law of Spain required that
the coin should contain 374X grains of
silver; but, in point of fact, the actual
weight of the newest and best dollars
circulating in America, as ascertained
after numerous experiments by Jeffer-
son in 1885 and Hamilton in 100, was
3714 grains. Accordingly, when in
1871 Hamilton submitted his report to
the government of the United States on
the subject of mint and coinage, he re-
commended it to coin dollars containing
exactly the same weight Of fine silver
as the Spanish dollars then in circula-
ton, and in which the debt of the Re-
public had been contracted. This was
accordingly done, ond from that day
Q792) to thejpresent the quantity Of sill
yer in the dollar Of the United States
has never been changed; and the thing
dollar is, therefore, precisely the Same
to-day as it was at tho date of the estab-
lishment Of our government.

Waiting fer Neither.

The cid man sits In his easy chair,
Slumbering the moments away,
Dreaming dream that is ali his own,
On this gladstone, peaceful day;
His children have gathered from far and
near,
His childreA's children beside
And merry voices are echoing through
The "Homestsad's" hall SC vide.
But far away in the years long flown
Grandfather lives again;
And his heart forgets that it ever knew
A shadow Of grief and pals,
For he sees his wife as he saw her then
A matron comely ard fair,
With her children gathered around his
board,
Ard never a vacant chair.
Obi happy this dream of the "Auld
Lang Syne,"
OF the years long slipped awayl
And the old mans lips have gathered .

From his daughters lips so true;

The old man wakes at his daughtsr's call
And looks at the table near

"We will wait till mother is here"
There are tears in the eyes of his chill

For many lonely year has passed

But the old man pleads still vistfully:
I'VE must wait for nother.you know ~

A CURIOUS census of the trees in
Washington has just been completed. 1t
shows there are to-day in the capital of
the Republic nearly one hundred miles
of trees, of which about one-half are
naples. The remainder includes pop
lars, box elders, elms, lindens, button
woods, willows and frs. OF naples of
every variety there are 21,15O; poplars,
5,64O; box elders, 4,745; elms, 1870; lin
deus, 5,675; button woods. 3,475; Ameri-
can ash, 1881; catalpa, 500; horse chest
nut, III; miscellaneous varieties, about
1000. These include only the work of
the Parking Commission and represent
the fruits Of about ten years labor. The
young trees thrive well and give prom
ise of making the city more and more
attractive as yearly they increase in
size. The stately giants in the public
parks, also numbered by thousands, are
not included in this grand army of ma
lures ornaments under the charge of
the Parking Commission.
