Peru's Railroad Builder.

"The story CT Henry Meiggs," said
one OF his old acquaintance the other
day, sis almost pathetic in that part of
it where in his old age he sought to re-
pair the errors of his youth, especially
in reference to financial obligations.
One day a young Long Islander. the son
of wealthy parents, was buying u
Christmas present for his mother at
Tiffanv's, when he saw superb silver
set, the pieces of which bore the mono
gram H. M He learned that it had
been made at great cost for the Peru
Wan railroad contractor. He told at
home of the magniticence of the silver
set, and, as he presented his mother
with the single piece of silver which he
had purchased, said that he hoped to be
as that ordered by Henry Meiggs.
eff Meiggs will pay me what he
owes me-, said the father, you could
do it. l hold $500 of his notes dated
in 1882. bought quantity of lumber
for him down the Hudson River, and he
failed to pay me except in these notes,
and they proved worthless. We were
intimate friends until this transaction.
| never told any one of the notes, be-
cause did not want to further expose
one who had been my friend.
1.-The young man, without his fathers
knowledge, got hold of the notes and
wrote letter calculated to appeal to
Henry Meiggs in its references to the
friendship of his early life Then he
sent the letter, with the notes enclosed,
through Duncan, Sherman & Co. to
Meiggs. In response there came from
the contractor a manly and aftectionate
letter, enclosing a draft for $4,000, be-
ing the principal. and interest of the
debt.
''The father bought for his wife with
the money a duplicate of Henry
Meiggs' silver service, and every Sun
day night this is used in memory of the
railroad king. The father and his son
sent joint letter to Meiggs, relating
how they had disposed of the money,
and he wrote back asking for leave to
reimburse them for the present, but this
was declined.
"When his son came to America he
was instructed by his father to look up
the Long Island acquaintance, and q
warm friendship followed between the
sons of the contractor and his old-time
friend, whose loan had been repaid
after forty years.

Turkish women's Views Of Polygamy.

There are those who say that the
women of the East are satisfied with
polygamy and do not understand the
injustice Of it. To believe this one must
be ignorant not only of the East, but of
the human soul itself. If it were true,
that would not happen which does hap
pen-viz., that there is scarcely any
Turkish girl who, accepting the hand
OF man, does not make it condition
that he shall not marry again during
her lifetime; there would not be so
many wives returning to their families
because their husbands have failed in
this promise, and the Turkish proverb
would not be in existence which says:
mouse with four women is like a ship
in tempest Even if she is adored by
her husband the Eastern women can
but curse polygamy, which oblges her
to live with the sword of DamOcles
above her head. 1t is impos-
sible that she should not feel the in
justice of such lazy. She knows that
when her husband introduces a rival
into her home he is but putting into
practice the right given to him by tho
law of the Prophet. But in the bottom
OF her soul she feels that there is a more
ancient and sacred law which con-
dennis his act as traitorous and sn
abuse of power; that the tie between
them is undone; that her life is ruined;
that she has the right of rebellion.
The Turkish women seek to know
| Rragkish women in order to learn from
them something of the splendors
! and amusements of their world, but it
is not only the varied and feverish life
of the gayety that attracts them; more
often it is the domestic life, the little
world of an European family, the circle
of friends, the table surrounded with
children, the honored and beloved old
age; the sanctuary full of memories, of
confidence, of tenderness, that can
make the union of two persons good
even without the passion of love; to
which we turn even after long life OF
alteration and faults, in which, even
after the tempests of youth and the
pangs of the present, the heart finds
refuge and comfort, as a promise OF
peace for later years, the beauty of a
serene sunset seen from the depths OF
some dark valley.
But there is one great thing to be
said for the comfort of those who lament
the fate of the Turkish woman; it is
that polygamy is declining from day to
day. 1t has always been considered by
the Turks themselves rather as q tol.
Grated abuse than as natural right Of
man. Mahomet said, that man is to be
praised who has but single wife
although he himself had several; anC
those who wish to set an example Of
honest and austere manners never in
fact marry but one wife. He who has
more than one is not openly blamed
but neither is he approved. The Turk
are few who sustain polygamy, and still
fewer those who approve it in theil
hearts. ConStaRtjnoptc, By EdmoRdt

With an Eye TO Economy.

A tinware peddler called at house
on Fourth Avenue the other day to eX-
change some of his goods for paper
rags. The woman brought out a sack
weighing ten or fifteen pounds and the
peddler held it up on his spring scales
and announced:
Deere vhas shust six pounds, so help
me gracious"
Her husband came out at that moment
and replied that he would not accept
any such weight. He knew there were
at least ten pounds in the sack and he
didn't propose to be swindled.
"My frendt, do you pellet | sheat
you?" asked the peddler.
you would if you got the chance. "
1t was agreed that the man should
take the sack across to the grocery and
weigh it for himself, but he was no
sooner out of sight than the peddler
drove off and did not stop for five
blocks. In the afternoon the man met
him down town and asked:
"Ah! you rascal, why didn't you wait
for me?"
Wash dere more ash six pounds?"

Roman Reservoirs.

The one thing Alden has to show to
the tourist is its famous tanks, writes
an Eastern traveller. These are scoopcd
out of hills standing little above the
town. They are natural excavations,
nature having been but slightly assisted
by art, There is q series OF four or five
tanks, yawning caldrons, each one ca
pable Of holding thousands of gallons
of water if it could only get it. That
is, however, the drawback. The tanks
are quite empty now, as they always
are, except for a short period after I'M
usually heavy rains. They are no use
for the purpose for which it is naturally
supposed they were constructed, that of
supplying Alden with water. When the
rains do come after the long drought,
they bring down tons of mud, the wash
ings of the dusty hills, and it would
take year, with q constant supply of
fresh and cleaner water, before the
store could be used for domestic pur-
poses. But the Government, whose
property the tanks are, manages to
turn them to commercial account.
These washings of the hills are full of
manurial properties, for which the ag-
riculturists for miles around compete.
Last year the dirty water sold for $500,
and went to irrigate thirsty land. As
to the origin of these colossal reser-
voirs, it is lost in remote antiquity. The
generally accepted theory is that they
were made by the Romans, who once
had settlement here. They were &C
cidentally discovered some years ago,
and the rubbish with which they had
been gradually filled was cleared away
at the expense of the Government

A Wooden Caterpillar.

The queerest thing l have seen out
here is the so-called .'bulrush caterpil-
lar" or vegetable caterpillar" This
also is found in New Zealand. where
the natives name it "Aweto-Hotete,"
but have two specimens found in Tas-
mania The plant is a fungus, a
spheria, which grows seven or eight
inches above the ground, generally in
Single stem, round, and curving at
the end like serpent. This end is
thickly covered with brown seed for
some tn re inches. 1t grows near the
root of particular tree, the ''rata. "
When pulled up its single root is found
to consist of a large caterpillar, three
inches long, which, when dissected. is
found to be solid wood. Every detail
of this grub is preserved. The sph@ria
always grows out of the nape of its
neck. II is supposed that when this
grub Chat of large moth) burrows
in the ground, one of the seeds gets
between the scales of the neck, strikes
root and completely turns the interior
of the creature into its own substance.
Only the shell is left intact, no smallest
rootlet appearing anywhere. The abo,
rhymes also eat this pure white grub,
and friend tells me that, taken raw,
it is delicious. The New Iealanders
also burn the caterpillar root and rub
it into their tattoo wounds. A good
many white people, it is said, believe
chat the plant actually develops the cat
erpillar form, and if this be true, we
cannot laugh much at those who be-
lieved in the vegetable Scythian Lamb

specimens are preserved in the Sur
geons' Museum at London Cor. Phil

THE WISE BELLS.

On sunny Sabbath morning,
Forth two messengers were sped,
That the bells be set a-ringing;
One to say, in chime and singing,
A fair maiden is to wed;
One to say, with knell and moaning,
a fair maiden lieth dead.
BY mischauce the stupid servants
Went not whittier they were babe;
But each where was sent the other.
One said: Ring the bells right glad
For bridal" Said the other:
For the dead ring slow and sad"
So it CHANGED that at the bridal.
All turned pale to hear the bell;
While the gladstone wedding Ginning
Mid the dirge discordant fell;
But the angels hearing, whispered:
IN the chimes and in the knells,
Wisdom, more than man could teach We,
Did you speak to-day, o bells!
