He Got a Raise.

ltrom the Boston i1mes.]
A young Journalist who received his
early professional training on the New
York Sun, related an incident OF his e1-
perience with Charles A. Dana. The
young man had been sent out to inter
view prominent democrat upon the
political situation, and stumbled across
a radical republican, from whom he also
secured an interview, which he placed
upon the managing EDITORS desk. AS
theopinions expressed by the republican
were wholly at variance with the plat
form OF the Sun, the managing editor
put n decided damper upon the enter
prise Of the youthful reporter, and Mr..
Dana happening to overhsar the conver-
sation, addressed the innocent scribe:
Haven't you been here long enough
yet to know The policy of this paper %
''The only policy I know, sir" said
the young man, sis that the Sun shines
for all"
every true,.. replied Mr.. Dana, "but
you must know that most of our readers
can't stand the full light of the orb of
day, and We have to give them only
such light as is reflected by the NOON -
ooh, you want me to give them moon
shine, do you sir?" cooIly retorte d
the unbashed Knight OF the quill.
MIR. Dana turned upon his heel with
out a word, smile lurking about his
lips, and left the room. Two days alter
ward, when the reporter went to the
office for his pay, the cashier informed
him that it had been raised 50 week,

Richard Waqner's Children.

When the curtain fell on the last per-
formance of Parsifal at Bayreuth,
which brought the celebration month
to a close, there occurred touching
incident behind the scenes. The banker
Gross led Wagner's children up to the
assembled actors, and in the name Of
their dead father thanked the assembly
for the care and labor OF love expended
by each and all in producing the last
work OF the great dead master. Sieg-
fried, Wagner's son, 13 years old, then
IN few simple words, stihed with sobs,
thanked the actors personally, and ali
the children shook hands with them.

ghighly satisfactory surplus in hand
was declared, and the committee decided
to repeat the performance next year.

AMERICAN SCENERY.

The attention that has been given by
the English newspapers for some time
past to the attractions Of our widest and
most romantic scenery of the {" Far
West" partly accounts for the large
number of Englishmen of rank, ability
or fortune who have come over here this
summer Of intend to do SO. For in
stance the London Times devotes over
three columns or space to remarkably
accurate and unusually vivid descrip-
ton OF the natural wonders of California.
Colorado aud the Yellowstone country.
the last named in particular. The
writer says of the fantastic rocks in the
Garden OF the Gods" in Colorado.
that they cannot be surpassed as
curiosities by anything on the earth's
surface. He adds, what few Ameri-
cans realize: Even the mountains of
Colorado are marvellous, not for their
height-though mountains nearly as
high as Mont Blanc, which Byron
deemed monarch, are numbered by
the hundred but for their external an
penrance. Conspicuous among them, if
not unique, is the Mountain of the Holy
Cross. On the slope of this mountain.
when the summer sun has melted the
winter snow, is to be seen huge white
cross OF an almost perfect form. The
snow in the clefts which give shape to
the cross never melts. It is not sur
prising that, when Coronado and the
pious Spaniards who discovered this
part OF North America first saw the sym-
Dol of their faith represented on this
towering mountain slope, they fell
down and worshipped. Next to the
mountains, which form a conspic-
nous feature in Colorado seem
cry, may be ranked the
natural parks. Perhaps no English
word as used in North America is more
misleading than spark' to English
speaking people in other parts of
Great Britain. Happily the French
woed for nesdow has been naturalized,

there was no disposition to be beiigerent

but if they fight us we are likely to fight
back; otherwise the people of North Dako-
