The Romance of Young Texan
Whom q Generals Daughter Dis
earded.
EWasllInGton Post.I

washington fOSI.
An interesting romance, in which
his dntimely death forms tragic con-
clusion, was connected with Robert
G. Fly, who was shot and killed at
Hondo City, Texas, last Tuesday. He
was the son of wealthy mine owner.
At San Antonio, Texas, young Fly fell
in love with Miss Ord, the daughter
of the late General Ord, and they be-
came engaged to be married. But
General Ord sent his daughter to en-
ter the postgraduate class at the
Georgetown Convent. When this sea-
son of probation drew to close, as he
imagined, young Fly came to this
city, impatient to claim his bride.
Upon his arrival everyone was struck
with his manly figure. He was tall
and handsome, and possessed a dash
ing air, which, though little noncha-
lent from his Southern and Western
training, rendered him immensely
popular.
He was doomed to bitter disappint-
ment, however: n sorrow awaited
him which overcast the rest of his
life and indirectly led to his tragic
fate. Immediately upon reaching
Washington he went to the convent
in quest of the object of his love,
but he was Informed that the young
lady was not there. The Sister Supe-
rior told him that they had received
letters addressed to Miss Ord, but that
they had not seen her. The young man
was rendered almost wild with ankle
ty; he was involved in a mystery
which he could not explain. lie
searched in every direction and wrote
letters, but to no avail. After few
months spent restlessly in the city. he
went back to Texas, carrying with
him Il likeness of his lost betrothed
(avery beautiful young LADY,, which he
wore in locket about his neck, and
which he probably never parted with
during his life.
In Texas his search ended. Miss
Ord was there, but he found her at
the marriage altar. She became the
bride of the Mexican General Ire
vino, and her discarded lover lost all
desire to live.

A Catalogue of KINGS.

The most powerful king on earth is
working; the LATEST king, is lurking;
the meanest king, is Sinking; and
the most disgusting, smir king; the
most popular, smoking; and the most
disreputable, joking; and the leanest
one, thinking; and the thirstiest one,
drinking; and the slyest, win-king |;
and the most gurrulous one, talking.
And there is the hacking, whose
trades a prospect mine; the dark
skinned monarch, blac- king, who cuts
the greatest shine; not to speak of ran
king, whose titles out of the question
or famous ruler, baking, of coed
finance digestion.

The Workshop.

The following gives a permanent
whitewash: To one barrel of lime,
use half bushel or more of cement;
use fresh lime, and have it well
Stacked; use Immediately, and do not
mix up too much at once.
1t is asserted that powdered zinc,'
the granulated metal, it is presumed,
can be applied as a paint with oil and
against rust, A good mixture is
eight zinc, seventy-one oil, and two
drier.
a little instrument has been de-
signed for automatically sounding the
whistles of steamers in foggy wealth
er. 1t consists of a brass care, con-
tanning clockwork, and which, by
means of gear, works valve, admit
ting steam below a piston connected
to the whistle cock. Each rise and
fall of the piston gives one blow of
the whistle, the sound occurring after
stated intervals, the duration of which
is regulated by governor in connec-
ton with the clockwork. After once
starting by hand the instrument is
self-winding, each stroke of the piston
acting on the drum of the main spring
by rack and pawl motion, SO as to
entirely obviate all chance of failure
to sound the whistle through inatten-
ton.
A Lousianian writes: The time
will soon come when in our damp
climate, the floors of all the stores in
New Orleans, and in other cities in
the state, will be built of strong
waterproof and indestructible paper
tiles. The dampness permeating our
dwellings will be counteracted by pa.
per material of a suitable character
All our city cars will be built of pa
per. The wheels of these will be
made of paper. The rails OF ou1
street cars and even the crossties, sc
liable TO decay, will all be renewed in
the course of time, and be replaced by
paper material suitably treated tt
remedy existing evils. Nearly all the
furniture of our dwellings, so liable to
swell or shrink in our damp climate
will be manufactured in an elelegant
and artistic style by means of paper
stock capable of resisting effectually
the sudden changes Of our tempera
ture."

opera glass. Whenever the man
leaned on it, up it went, and when he
put it to his eye to find William, it

Philadelphia and Boston capitals is
have new scheme on foot. 1t is TO
construct pipe line 200 miles, at q
cost of So, 100000, from the salt wells
of western New York to the Lehigh
coal region. 1t is contended that the
project will almost revolutionize the
salt business. as the brine can be run
through the pipes to the coal fields
when the refuse which1is now abso-
lutely worthless can be utilized to
evaporate it. Interested people aver
it cannot work, but the advantage to
be gained in free fuel with other incl
dental items will probably cause 1T to
be built.

A writer in the London Times gives
this as an example of the condition of
the Chinese peasant: "a family con-
sisting Of eight persons owns an acre
and a half of land. The land was
bought by the grandfather of the
present head and has never been sub
divided since nor added to. He grows
about seventy bushels of rice and
thirty-five of wheat and some veg
etables and cotton besides, worth al
together in money about $50. He has
two nephews who work outside and
bring home something to help, and in
that way they get along, but they are
very poor. He and all his neighbors
wear native blue cloth, spun and
woven in the family by the women
from cotton grown by themselves.
The coat he has on q well worn
affair had been made two years pre-
viously, and it would last two years
more. It served him at night as a
coverlet as well as coat by day.
