The New York Herald of May 18th
says, ''fifteen hundred people left for
Europe yesterday before breakfast. At
the least calculation they carried ST.
100000 with them" ANYBODY who
now crosses the ocean to be swindled
by Italian guides and trod on by
French waiting maids, without having
seen the wonders of the Rocky Mount
aims, or visited the quaint cities of onr
elder brethren of the Mexican Repub-
lie, deserve little sympathy. Since the
opening of the Mexican Central there
is practically through route from Chi
cagO to the city of Mexico. There are
but two changes of cars, and they are
made in Union DepOts at Kansas CITY
and Ell Paso. BY telegraphing to Kan
sas City, berths in Pullman Palace Cars
may be reserved over the Atchison.
Topeka and Sante Fe to FL Paso; and
by telegraphing to FL PasO, berths in
Pullman Buffet Cars may be reserved
to the city of Mexico. Here is one con-
tinuOus journey of three thousand
miles over the most picturesque coun-
try on the face of the globe. Halfway
lie the famous Hot Springs of Las
Vegas, the most elegant summer resort
i'll the mountains. Around are the
Rocky Mountains where every Glen is
a thing of beauty, and every peak is
grand and glorious. Here the wicked
are no longer Troublesome, the weary
no longer restless, and even the invalid
draws health and vigor from the brac-
ing air of the great mountain plateau
which extends from Denver to the city
of Mexico. And at the end of the Jour
ney is that ancient, venerable, and
stately city of MOntezuma and CorteZ,
of Ilidalgo and Scott, of Maximilian
and Juarez. 1t seems paradOxical to
advise tourists to go south in the sum
mer, but the great Mexican Plateau, Il
full mile above the level of the ocean,
has most bewitching and fascinating
summer climate, while the rare old
cities just touched by the wand of pro-
gress, possess Il greater interest for the
antiquarian, the student and the pleas
ure seeker, than any of the European
towns that have been visited by three
generations of American sight seers
The Grand Tour for 1884 is to the city
of Mexico and its Aztec environment.

ing your fingers busy at the reel. Then
suddenly out of the water he comes
again, throwing himself high above
water, and, describing a capriciOus
arc in mid air, falls back into his ele-
ment again, quivering with excitement
and pain, and sparkling with spray.
Finding that these tactics fail to re-
lease him from the hook, the chances
are that he may take it into his head
to seek another part of the river, and
down the stream he goes like race
horse.
'He may lead you a mile or two
miles, keeping your attendants busy
at the oars, and yourself on the alert
for any sudden change in his maneuvr-
ing. 1t may be that after the chase he
will have recourse to his former tactics,
and give you lively struggle for a
half hour or so. By and by, however,
discouraged and exhausted, he will
give up absolutely and allow himself
to be reeled in and gaffed. The whole
fight has been science and skill against
cunning and strength, and the former
will win every time.
at may be that when your salmon
finds himself hooked he will surprise
you by making no fight at all, but will
sink straight to the bottom and sulk.
If he does you may know at once that
he is big one, and may as well make
up your mind that there is to be II
grand trial of patience between you
and him. 1t would be violation of
the code that governs salmon fishing
for the angler to give up first, and if
he had tn sit tbrpp loyS hpfOrp he cOul1

without murmur. | sat from o'clock
in the morning until o'clock in the
afternoon waiting for that big one
hooked last season to get over his
sulk, and, when he did get over it, he
got over it a-humming. He took me
a mile down stream, and then worried
me till 81 o'clock before he got the

icist-in- general of the party. He gazed
fondly on my sextant, for with it he
could find his way across the ocean.
They had watches and compasses, but
no means of determining latitude or
longitude. So this earnest young nihi-
list began the construction of a sex
tant and soon had navigation tables in
course of preparation, using a Russian
almanac to find the SUMS declinatiOns.
1t was their intention to build boat
on the Yara river, near Verkeransk,
and attempt a journey of 1000 miles
to the coast and then another of 1000
miles along the coast of Siberia to the
Eastern cape or BehriHg straits.
Il learned afterward, to my regret,
that they had attempted to carry out
their bold project, but without success.
They eluded their pursuers and sue
ceeded, after many difficulties, in
working their way down the Yara,
past large village near the mouth
within sight of the sea. They might
then have accomplished their escape
with comparative ease, but the rolling
waves terrified them and washed into
their boat, Overladen with its freight
of l3 exiles, and when they waded
ashore it was swamped and all their
provisions soaked. One of the fugi-
tives was young woman. Some of
the eXiles, frightened ut their situa-
ton, straightway gave themselves up
to the authorities at Oceansk, who
soon captured the remainder and sent
them all into crueler captivity than
ever. Leon was sent to the kolayma
river. Others were taken from the set

and the ways of criminals. Besides
the books already referred to, he wrote
mississippi Outlaws and Detectives, g"
"Criminal "reminiscences" express
men and Detectives "Mollie Maguires
and Detectives professional Thieves
and Detectives" "The Spy System of
the United States Army during the
Late Rebellion" and other works of
like character. In these books he ex-
posed the ways of society thieves,
hotel thieves, express robbers, forgers,
counterfeiters, and criminals of all
classes. Mr.. Pinkerton was fond of
reading and study. He made it the
study of his life to know all matters
relating to the detection of crime. He
had theory that it is impossible for IL
criminal to keep secret, and that in
some way, to some one, he is sure to
betray himself. He trained his men to
work on this theory, and by patient
and tedious work, extending over
months OF years if necessary, often I'M
ravelled the most intricate crimes. 1t
made no difference to him whether the
criminal was in the dregs or foam of
society, he knew how to surround him
and reach him. He was stricken down
with paralysis in 1869 and never fully
recovered from it. A rule with him
was never to work for reward or to
permit any employee to accept one.
He never could be induced to operate
in n divorce case or where family mat
ters were in dispute.
The PinkertOn agencies were by his
direction kept well supplied with dis
guises, and each of them is equipped
with quite theatrical wardrobe. His
men are his actors, each selected for
the part he is best fitted to play. Mr.
Pinkerton was the father of eight chill
dren. and two of his boys have become
noted in his business.

Rev. Mr.. Gilbert, during an address
at Christ church the other night, re-
marks the Chicago Times, while speak
ing of the telephone, asked his audi
ence if they would be astonished if he
were to tell them that it was now
proved to be possible to convey by
means of electricity vibrations of light
to not only speak with your distant
friend, but actually to see him. The
electrOscope, the name of the instru-
ment which enables us to do this, is
the very latest discovery, and to Guid-
rah of Victoria belonged the proud
distinction. The trial of this wonder
full instrument took place at Melbourne
on the 3lst of October last in the pres
ence of some forty scientific and public
men, and was a great success. Sitting
in the dark room, they saw projected
on Il large disk of white FURNISHED

A Very Sad Story.
SHOWING WHAT RUM WILL DO TO DE-
GRADE AND DESTROY MEN.


John b. Cough tells the following:
"a minister of the gospel told me one
of the most thrilling incidents have
heard in my life. A member of his
congregation came home for the first
time in his life intoxicated. and his
boy met him upon the doorstep, clap
ping his hands and exclaiming. 'Papa
has come homer He seized the boy hy
the shoulder, swung him around, stag
gered and fell in the hall. That min
lister said to me, Il spent the night in
that house. went out, barred INV
brow that the night air might fall upon
it and cool it. | walked up and down
the hill. There was the child, dead
there was his wife in strong convul-
slons, and he asleep A man about
thirty years of age asleep, with dead
child in the house, having mark upon
his temple where the corner of the
marble steps had come in contact with
the head as he swung him around, and
il wife upon the brink of the grave
MIR. Cough said my friend, Il cursed
the drink. He had told me that must
remain until he awOke, and | did,
When he awoke he passed his hand
over his lace and exclaimed, What is
the matterR where am ? where is my
boy 2 you cannot see him. Stand
out of my way, | will see my boy
TO prevent confusion | took him to
the child's bed, and as | turned down
the sheet and showed him che corpse
he uttered a wild shrek, 'Ah, my

me, 'One year after that he was brought
from the lunatic asylum to lie beside
his wife in the grave, and attended
his funeral The minister of the gos-
pei who told me the fact is to-day Il
drunken hOstler in stable in Boston.
Now, tell me what rum will not do.
1t will debase, degrade, imbrute and
dam everything that is noble, bright,
glorious and God-lik in IA human
being. There is nothing drink will
not do that is vile, dastardly, cowardly,
sneaking or hellish. Why are we not
to fight till the day of our death ?"

THE sKEIN WE WIND.

If you and 1, to-day,
ShouldStop and lay
Our life work down, and let our hands fall where
they will
Fall down to lie quite still
And if some other hand should come and stoop to
find
The threads we carried so that it could wind,
Beginning where we stopped if it should come to
keep
Our life work going seek
To carry on the good design
Distinctly made in yours or mine,
What would it find?
Some work must be doing, true or false;
Some threads we wind; some purpose exalts
Itself that we look up to it, or down,
As to a crown
To bow before and we weave threads
OF different lengths and thickneSses-some more
shreds-
And wind them round
Till all the skein of life is bound,
Sometimes forgetting at the task
Toask
The value of the threads, or choose
Strong stuff to use.
No hand but winds some thread;
1t cannot stand quite still, till it is dead
But what il spins and winds a little skein.
God made each hand for work-not toll stain
Is required but every hand
To spin, though only ropes of sand,
If love should come,
STOPPING above when we are done,
To find bright threads
That we have held, that it may spin then longer
find but threds
That break when touched, how cold
Sad shverng portionless the hands will hold
The broken strands, and know
Fresh cause for woe.
