ENGLISH firemeu,

Americans will be amused at " the ex-
petition with which an English fire
engine responds 10 the call of duty,
writes the London correspondent of the
New York Times One day this week
the Prince and Princess of Wales and
several royalties of Germany witnessed
the drill of the metropolitan fire brigade,
at their headquarters, Southwark bridge
road. After inspecting the workshops,
engine house and stables, and witness
ing the effect of continuous stream of
water on a fire. curtain, the royal party
were conducted to the quadrangle. Here
Is steam engines, fully equipped, filed
IN; six of them, after inspection. lighted
their fires for work. The other 10 then
went outside to join in gallop past later
on. During the getting up of steam a
very interesting exhibition of life saving
apparatus was given, butin regard to APP
planes it was exceedingly old-fashioned
as compared with similar exercises in
New York. The American ladders were,
however, afterward shown, but only as
assistants in the delivery of water from
q great height. This work being over,
the royal party adjourned to the engine
room. An alarm of 6 fire was given,
and the Standard reporter mentions with
evident satisfaction that within 30 and "a
minutes mot seconds) respectively a
manual and steam fire. engine were dis
patched. I have seen this done in four
or five seconds Qess, I think in Chicago,
and almost as quickly in New York,
where. however, the fire service is a tri-
fle inferior to that of the lake city. Men
tioning the incidents Of both services
here in London, have often raised a
laugh at my so-called "Yankee exagger-
ations." When this manual and steam
engine got outside it was joined by the
the others, and Is went galloping past
at a fine rate, to the delight of a great
crowd and the astonishment of the royal
party. The machines were superb, no
doubt, and the men and horses magnifi-
cent specimens of the most intelligent of
animals, human and otherwise. But in

and drill with America Captain Shaw

Paddy Burns Prisoner.
From the New york sun. !


Ex-senator Thomas J. Dreamer tells
good story of the palmy days when
the Hon. Paddy Burns was a deputy
sheriff. He was frequently detailed to
take convicted prisoners to Sing Sing
Prison. One day, as he approached the
entrance, a mild-mannered prisoner held
OUT pair OF small white hands chained
together with handouts. "Sheriff, -
he said, in pitiful accents, "look at
those hands; they will be no good in the

me to go into the quarries. You might

prisoner continued in a low tone, {" and

A Rest for the COMMISSION.

The intelligent compositor, upon
whose head has been heaped all the
photographed sins of several genera
tions, is now relieved of his burden by
the emergency telegraph operator. The
infinite patience and marvellous ingenu-
ity Of the scrub operator, in extracting
the last glimmer of sense from a dis
patch are Sar in advance of the widest
inebriated typo. When the sounder be-
gins to click, his reason takes her
winged flight into space, and his facul-
ties wander aimlessly IN the moon gilded
