that certain shade of gray, blush gray
In fact, Is almost indistinguishsble at dis
tance, when worn by masses of men. Should
the great war so often predicted break out In
Europe, it will puzzle the commanding gen.
erals to distinguish their own soldiers from
those of the enemy, for all the nations have
adopted ,hst Is practically the same uniform.
In France they have also abolished the drum
corps, and all that was attractive about war is
fast disappearing. Fighting has become
matter of machinery and engineering. Be-
fore the invention Of firearms the contests
were band to hand, the weapons were swords
and spears. Hence the passions of men
were reused when they came in sight Of each
other. But In modern warfare the soldier
fights with distant, and ohen an unseen,
enemy, and IL is not a matter of passion, but
rather of endurance. Charles Fourier, who
lived In the beginning Of this century, pre-
dicted that the time would come when In
dus,ry would be made as attractive as war
was in bis day-that the lsbcrer would go 10
the field and the workman to his shop pre-
ceded by musical professions, and that the
various industrial groups would wssr gay
attire. In other words, the same devices
which made war so attractive wouldbe made
use of TO take away the WEAKNESS of toll,
and make work as pleasing as Is marching to
the sound Of martial music. There may be
something In this theory, aud If all the color
and music are left out Of fighting, perhaps
they may be introduced into our industrial
life. -aea.

Asleep on an Engine.

English papers relate how the signal man
at Llandudno saved the Irish mail passen-
gers from what might have proved Q terrible
fate. The signal man at the junction re-
ceived message from the signal man at
Conway, the next station toward Holyhead,
tha. light engine was coming. The juno
tion signal man, knowing that the Irish mail
was due, decided TO run the engine into .
siding IN order to permit the express 10 pass.
He accordingly put up all the signals against
the light engine, but to bis extreme aston
ishment the engine csne straight into the
juc.ion at full speed, swept round The corner,
dashing past all the danger signals, and dis
appeared from view down the line toward
Chester. A moments reflection convinced
the signal man that both driysr and stoker
must be asleep. He accordingly wired TO
the Colwyn Bay station signal man: "En-
CINE coming, driver asleep; put fog signals
on line" The man at Colwyn Bay was
equally prompt, for running out Of his box,
he had hardly time TO lay number Of signals
when the engine came laundering along and
an explosion followed. which eGestually
awoke the men. The engine was stopped
and run back INTO siding, when IL was dis
covered that the FIRE bsd gone out, that the
water bad disappeared from tho boilers, and
thst The u,e,. had beAn asleep some time. In

They had bern fifteen hours on duty.

GENTLEMEN EMIGRkNTS,
The Curious Position of the Aristocratlc
English Settler Of the Northwest.
Pail Mdll Gazette.


The position occupied by the English gen.
tlemsn settler in all the Northwestern States
is a. least peculiar one IS a social study.
The lowest class of Americans socially, and
the least inviting type, perhaps, In the ma
ton, may be said to occupy the soil. Into
bis midst are plunged beings as from another
sphere, individuals whose whole previous
training has been that of an aristocratic state
of society, and whose tender susceptibllties
have never known what it Is to be exposed
to the rude breath Of rural democracy.
That these can exist as recognized aristoc-
racy Is, of course, impossible. 1t Is not that
America does not admit of such formations.
On the contrary, everywhere, East and
South, there Is something that answers more
or less to aristocracy. Even In the Western
citIps-nay, even among the great fockmas-
tiers and graziers in the frontier States
wealth, and what wealth brings, forces rec
oguition from the masses.
But the Minnesota or Iowa farmet Of $40
acres of prairie land, with sixteen feet by
eighteen feet frame house, sees nothing from
bis point of view to look up to in the young
stranger whose 320 acres adjoin bis own, and
who also lives in sixteen feet by eighteen
feet frame house, aud lives apparently the
same life as himself, only with results prob
ably SO much the less satisfactory to his own
as those of an amateur usually are TO those
of a professional. OF course he instinctively
recognizes that "neighborliness In social
sense Is impossible, and has crude notion
why but the material position of ihe En-
eiishman Is not sucn as for moment TO admit
Of even fraction of that scsnt supply of
social veueration which the Western
farmer deals out so charity. If the farmer
were rich and did not take bis coat oil, II
would be another thing. II he preached, or
lectured, or " ran big newspaper" asoFt OF
tacit recognition Of his superiority would ioi'
low; but rs mere farmer 1t Is no use TO tell
his Western neighbor of birth or education.
The former he knows nothing about, while
"A for eddication," be thinks II must have
been poor investment of the young mans
folks, else he would not De riding on
wagon. II you ask the young Englishnan
what bis Western neighbois are like, he will
generally tell you, in the emphatic language
of his kind, that "the natives are brutes."
The native" II you question him, Is more
circnmspeet, IS becomes an American, In his
language, and will probably tell you that "a
heap o. these yer young men are mighty tri
fiu' fellahs, and not much account except at
frolickin'" Both opinions are, perhaps,
equally unjust, but typical Of the absolute
snt Of sympathy between th'se two incon-
gruous, these smasingly diverse elements,
thst side by aide are occupied In the same
york, and whose material interests are gen.
er ally identical. Fer ths present this aEtin-
| eisl state of things Is If no great conse-
| quence; but It would be interesting 70 SEQ
! what the result will be thirty years hsnce.

Mary Anderson.

"The public has formed wrong impress

from the truth. She is for al the world like
a big schoolgirl, choke full Of snimsl spirit

seen her bound into the wings and in the
exuberance of her frolicsome disposition
jump on mans back and make him carry
her. Icebergs don't do that. She Ia just
the sweetest, incest, and best girl You ever
met, and not . bit stuck up when you como
to know her. When Louis James was play

tween bis teeth when she stopped over TO
take the poison of his lips and held her an
unconscionable time. Mamma Griffin saw

over to where was standing, he Is biting

there was when the curtain rung down.
Mary chased James all over the stage with
piece of board, and the company looked on
and split their sides laughing at the sight.
General Sherman always liked Mary Ander-
son, but since the papers blasted him for
kissing the chorus girls he has never gone
behind the scenes. When Ben Downing
joined her company be says to her: Now,

Hartford Fpeuin1 Post,

There was a notable wedding at Christ
Church yesterday afternoon. David Damon,
Of Morrisville, N. Y, well preserved gen.
tleman Of seventy-three, was the groom; the
bride was Miss Christine Roberts, we'll
known In certain circles In this city for her
Christian virtues and lovely temperament.
She Is between fifty and sixty years of age,
and, rumor says, has romantic history.
Twenty years or more ago she was engaged
to young nan, but just on tho eve OF tho
contemplated marriage he died and she was
left disconsolate. She never sought gentle.
men's company until short time ago, whe,',
meeting Mr.. Damon at . friends honse in
this city, she thought she saw In his features
close resemblance to her dead lover. An
attachment sprsng up between the couple
and they were married.

THE MORTGAGE ON THE FARM.
WILL CARLETON.

We worked through spring and winter, thro'
summer and through fall
But the mortgage worked the hardest and
the steadiest of us ali;
IL worked on nights and Sundays; 1t worked
each holiday;
1t settled down among us and never went
away.
Whatever we kept from it seemed almost as
bad As theft;
1t watched ny every minute, and it ruled us
right and left.
The rust and blight were with us sometimes,
and sometimes they were not;
The dark bro wed, scowling mortgage was
forever on the spot.
The weevil and the cut-worm, they went as
we'll as came;
The mortgage stayed on forever, eating
hearty all the same.
IL nailed up every window, stood guard at
every door,
And happiness and sunshine made their
home with us no more,
Till with failing crops and sickness we got
stalled upon the grade,
And there came dark day on us when the
interest wasn't paid;
Aud there came a sharp foreclosure and
kind O. lost my hold,
md grew weary and discouraged, and the
farm was ch-aply sold.
rhe children left aud scattered when they
hardly yet were grown;
Ny wife she pined and perished, an found
myself alone.
What she died Of was "a mystery" and the
doctors never knew;
But knew she died of mortgage-just As
well as 1 wanted to.
II to trace a hidden sorrow were within the
doctors art,
They'd ha' found a mortgage lying on that
woman's broken heart.
Worm or beetle, drouth or tempest, on a
farmers land may fall
But for first-cIass ruinaiion trust mortgage
'gainst them all.
