An Underground Oitv

New York, as every one knows, is
situated upon narrow island. 1t can
not spread out in one direction because
Of the surrounding waters. As a con-
sequence an enormous business is being
done upon small surface of land, to
utilize which there have been built with
in the last twelve years immense office
buildings and apartment houses, each
of which accommodates as many people
as live in an ordinary village. Under
this narrow stretch of land are built
sewers, easements and cellars, in adj
dition to gas-pipes, water-mains and
other underground constructions. To
relieve the surface of the streets of their
enormous vehicular traffic, it is pro-
posed to build underground streets and
subways to accommodate the sewers,
water, gas and steam pipes, and eventu-
ally telegraph and telephone wires. Nor
is this all. Advantage will be taken of
these subways to run cars, and open
passages for vehicles. 1t is not improb-
able that by the twentieth century the
principal thoroughfares will be under
laid by second street, SO as to expedite
travel and traffic. New York has tried
one experiment on a very great scale;
no less than three companies are laying
steam pipes all over the city, which can
be used not only for power but for heat
ing and cooking purposes. tits believed
that the time will shortly come when
furnaces, stoves and other heating APP
paratuses will be dispensed with, and
that heat will be supplied from the out
side as water and gas now are. tits said
that every process Of cooking, including
broiling, can be done by steam. How
this can be accomplished is amystery to
the uninitiated.- Demorest's MonthzY.

An Excited but HapnY Rridegroom

al nA0A1ou Wv Happy OlluoSIOOu'
Weddings are not often held in lodge
rooms, but the genius for innovation
suggested to George Smith and Miss
Annie Bloodgood that they should be
bound together under four muslin flags
instead of groined arches, and surroun-
ded by sympathizers rather than weep
ing relatives. So after Miss Holland
had sent the blood tingling through the
veins of her auditors by reciting the
''Maniac," Mr.. Smith arose, beckoned
to Miss Bloodgood, and amid a prefer
natural silence strobe forward with his
arm linked in his brides sash. The
Rev. Stephen Merritt stretched forth
his hands and the ceremony was begus>
lights above her head spluttered and
blinked with excitement, she wept.
The groom gnawed the fingers OF his
glove; then he became enthusiastic and
underworld to push the ring over Miss
Bloodgood's thumb without avail The
bride, with the assistance of her friends,
succeeded in securing the ring from the
desperate groom and placed it in the
requisite position herself. After the
clergyman had finished the service, 81
lencc fell upon the gathering, and Mr..
Smith kissed his bride on the ear. Then
she smiled and so did he. and they tried
it again with more elaboration and
with resounding effect. The ceremo-
MES were ended and the bride and
groom were congratulated by their
friends, They met many weeks ago at
one of the meetings Of the lodge, and
amidst the solemn rituals their loves
were exchanged. They are neither
young, wealthy nor handsome, but last
night they were happy.--New York
Tribune.

A few evenings ago Matilda came in
to the parlor where Mrs. Yerger was
sitting sewing by the fire. Matilda had
very sly expression on her face, and
something hid under her apron.

The Wrong Cica1.o.

When the present State military law
was bill before the Legislature Rep.
resentative one day took John Harmon
the lobbyist aside and offered him 50 to
write him ''a laundering good speech
in opposition to the bill John hadn't
time, and the Scion took in each one OF
the reporters with an offer of 50 sc
without finding q taker. In despair he
then returned to Harmon and said:
"See here, John, I've got to make a
speech opposing that bill My constit,

| pose it III get in box. What shall

''Well, Shakespeare welded a pen
while others welded sword, and while
hundreds of great generals have been
forgotten his name lives on
That's so--thats so. That will be
an old socker to throw at 'em. I'll
send for Mr.. ShaEspeare's book and
get him down fine. What else?''
'Lemme see,'' unused John, as he
opened his tobabco-box. .:You don't

For two weeks the man labored al
most day and night on his great speech,
and was then excused for a week to go
home and hunt up other pointers. On
the morning of his return he met Har-

called out:

was the dry rejoinder of the lobbyist.
1t was a sad blow to the orator, and
he never got quite over it. The report
ers put him up to use most Of the speech
in his argument in favor Of a more
stringent law for the protection Of game
but after he had finished his effort and
was cooling off in the hall he replied to
q questioner:

The Silo for the Poultry Breeder.
The silo has been found to be an
important adjunct to the dairy, and
several years trial of that method of
preserving green food has demonstrated
that no substitute in the shape of dry
food can compensate for the green sue
culent matter furnished by the silo at a
period Of the year when such food can
not be produced in any other manner.
But if cattle need green food in winter
the necessity is even greater with poul-
try, for cattle can at least enjoy hay
with their grain allowance, while poul-
try must either be confined to grain
alone or be provided with green food
under difficulties.
The food intended for poultry must
be of a different character from that
desired for other stock, and but little
expense need be incurred in storing up
a quantity of green food sufficient to
carry a flock through the winter, liber-
ally supplied with all they may desire.
With this object in view an experienced
poultry breeder procured molasses
keg, which he made as strong as possi-
BILE with a few additional hoops, and
placed it inside Of hogshead, first
placing few inches Of sawdust under
the bottom Of the keg, and packing the
space around the keg, between it and

INsoLvENT BANK COLLECTING
AND CONVERTING DRAFT.-A Chica-
go bank sent to its correspondent at
Buffalo, bank, a draft for $6527. rs
for collection, with the instruction To
remit the proceeds for its account to
New York bank. At the receipt of the
draft the insolvency Of the Buffalo bank
was well known to its officers. During
the day S23, 900 was received on depos-
it and S61, 900 paid out there was in
bank, in cash, $40, 900, and the pro-
ceeds of the draft were mingled with
the other moneys in the bank. A bill
in equity was filed against the insolvent
bank and its receiver-IIlinois Trust
and Savings Bank Of Chicago vs.
First National Bank of Buffalo-in
the United States Circuit Court for tie
Northern District ef New York. to en-
force the equitable lien of the Chicago
bank for this special collection, but the
bill was dismissed. Judge Wallace, in
the opinion, said 'sIt was undoubt-
edly a fraudulent act by the Buffalo
bank in its hopeless insolvency to mingle
the proceeds Of the draft with its own
funds, 50 that all identity was lost
The cases hold thatif a trustee converts
a trust fund into money and mingles
the money with other moneys, SO that
it is indistinguishable, the beneficiary
cannot follow his fund into the hands
Of an assignee in bankruptcy or an exc
eutor of the trustee, but he must occupy
the position Of a general creditor. The
right to follow trust fund ceases when
the means of ascertainment fail, as is
the case here. .''-Rep0rted for Phila.

The Cholera Panic.

There is no brutality like that Of the
the panic-struck. The deaths at Dami-
eta from cholera exceeded 100 day,
though the population is only 10000. A
Gordon of troops has been accordingly
drawn around the wretched town, with
orders to shoot any one found leaving
it. Consequently every one is afraid to
enter the place. which has become
fetid prison, and there are neither suf-
feient doctors, guardians of order, nor
medical comforts. The people die or
live uncared for, relatives are divided,
business stopped and for all any one
knows the inhabitants may be starving.
AT the same time, any one who can
bride the police gets through, 50 that,
if cholera were contagious, it would be
conveyed in spite of the cruel restric-
tions. 1t is believed that the outbreak,
in the main, is local; and Lord Granville
read an opinion from Sir William Gull,
stating that he saw little ground for
alarm, as severe epidemics Of cholera
were always preceded by small out
breaks in the previous winter and
spring. All the states of the Mediter-
ranean have published quarantine rules,
and the French and Italian papers in
sist that the cholera came froI. Bonn
bay. There is no ground, Lord Gran
vile says, for the allegation, which, if
true, might be perpetually 50, the great
Indian cities never being quite free of
cholera cases

Pious Sentiment

The living Christian-pure Of heart
and unspotted by the worlds the best
preacher of the gospel in these days.
There is but one solid pleasure in life.
and that is our duty. How miserable,
then, how unwise, how objectionable
are they who make that one pain.
The Divine Mystery.
The Rev. DR.. Platt, Of Rochester,
who delivered the baccalaureate sermon
at Hobart commencement, closed with
the following pretty bit ofphilosophical
poetry:
l nothing am-can nothing be,
Unless part, o God, ofthee;
From God l come-to God / 20,
How we are one | do not know.
As stars that shine BY single sun,
So life in each is life from One.
Each is for all and all for each,
In ways no finite thought can reach;
Yet space Is here and space is there,
And space Is one and everywhere,
So time is day and time is night,
One side the shadow-one the light.
When death unveils this segment soul
Unsevered part Of God the whole
With God in Christ and Christ In man
The circle ends where it began.
The warm days in spring bring forth
passion flowers and forget-me-nots. 1t
is only after midsummer, when the days
grow shorter and hotter, that fruit
begins to appear.-H W. Longfell0Io.
1t is not merely selfish, but wicked to
live too reclusively and exclusively in
our little worlds. 1t is a crime against
self in its true sense to live life Of
lonliness and isolation. The mind be-
comes disorganized and preys on itself,
when it is, as it were, hide-bouRd by the
neglect of social obligations.
SUSPICION. The safest and shortest
way to ruin a character is by creating a
suspicion. ''Suspicions, in Bacon's
words, ''are like bats among birds, they
ever fly by twilight. \ If your neighbor
in business OF social life be the object of
your dislike, let it be carefully whis-
pered that his affairs are not managed
quite as safely as might be, or his habits
little questionable. If woman hate
her rival, a well aimed word will as
surely as the touch Of an affected hand,
blacken her beauty and leave her help
less. Who does not know the power of
such insinuation2 Who does not meet
every day the victims Of these unseen
wrongs But it is not necessary for
this style of alander to use articulste
words; nay, the most inarticulate Ian
guage is best for its ends. a whisper
dropped carelessly in some corner
among the combustible- look. shrug
Of the shoulder, a sneer, laugh may
serve the purpose. There is not sadder
feature of human nature than theread-
mess with which men accept such in
situations, and the rarity with which
they have the manhood to repel them.
Rumor with most minds is presumptive
evidence, and they viii say with
knowing air, "There must be some FIRE

LIES MISERY.

We sow the glebe. we reap the corn,
We build the house where me may rest
And then at moments suddenly
We look up to the great wide sky,
lnquiring wherefore we were born
For earnest or for jest.
God keeps his holy mysteries
just on the outside of mans dream
In diapason slow, we think
To hear their pinions rise and sink,
While they float pure beneath his eyes
Like swans adown a stream.
And sometimes horror ehills our blood,
To be so near such mystic things;
And we wrap round us, for defense,
Our purple manners, moods of sense
As angels from the face of God
Stand hidden in their wings.
And sometimes through life's heavy
swound
We grope for them = with strangled
breath
We stretch our hands abroad and try
To reach them in our agony
And widen so the broad life-wound.
Which soon is large enough for death
