Two enterprising Germans, per-
haps of the family OF Baron Munchau-
sen, have made to the municipality of
Buenos Ayres a proposition that is
worthy of the attention OF civil engl-
neers. They propose to build for that
city stationary umbrella OF such pro-
portions as will forever render 1t unnec-
essary for the people down there to come
in out of the rain. This trife is to cost
IS, $780, 900.
Among the most recent inventions
in gunnery is Calling gun which can
throw battery of 104 cartridges with
effect either upward or downward at
any angle. Not only can a fort or in
trenchmept within $500 yards be thus
rendered untenable, but scaling parties
should they ever be introduced into
warfare again, would have new ter
ror. The new gun is base-loading
machine, worked by spiral. and isnow

The exceedingly delicate photo
graphs (colored) on glass, which have
come lately into fashion, are produced
by fixing q paper photograph upon a
cushion-shaped glass with transparent
cement, aud when it is dry rubbing
away two-thirls Of the photograph with
sand-paper. The thin film left is then
rendered transparent by soaking in
melted parailine wax, after which
transparent colors are applied. which
appear softened down when looked ut
from the front. The background and
heavier portions of the picture are then
painted in body color upon the face OF
another cushion-shaped piece OF glass,
which is afterward fixed behind the first
one.

Nlatrimony In California.

San Francisco Letter.
There is domestic unhappiness everywhere
in every community, but doubt if there is
any place where marriage is gone through in
the same free-and easy style. As a rule ap.
pearauces weigh far too greatly in the con.
sideration. A young man is good looking.
fair-spoken, pleasant. He has good posi-.
ton, a fair income, and hope is very i'm.
portant factor in the marriage contract.
When the daughter marries the parents give
her all the "send-off" they can She comes
back in n month. having already begun to
see the clay, sometimes the cloven feet OF her
idol Pleasant as it was to court, to go 10
the theatre, to spend q few hours together
it Is very different thing when whole life
has to be passed in close relations
Beyond the mere sentiment and emotional
bond between them. there proves to be no
taste In common, no adaptability, no unfail-
ing attraction that makes it possible for them
to enjoy their own society completely They
grow weary Of one another. Each seeks tile
enjoyment or longs for it that pleases most;
quarrels, separation. divorce ensup The
woman's lifc il wrecked, for she cannot re-
cuperate like man Society will not per.
nit it. And all because no study has been
made Of the suitability of the match; no
potent parental authority has argued the
question between tho sentimental and the

(Buston Globe.


No moro pathetic story has come from the
scene Of the wreck Of the City OF Columbus
than that told by Mr. TibbettS of the wife who
begged her husband to save himself If he
could as there was no chance for them both,
so that he might care for their four children.
1t was en- Instance Of rare hsrosm, in which
the love of tho wfe and the mother overcame
all love of life, and all mere animal clnging
to life, which is stronger usually than the in
telligent desire to live So, in the wild rush
of the panic-stricken people, at Il time when
calm decision is quality most rare, she
weighed the chances aud saw that life for her
husband meant a happier life for her children
than if she were saved But stern fate had
no pity on her devotion and herois,n. The
waves swept her off the vessel and swallowed
her up, ana he after enduring the ngonies OF
cold and exartion in tho rigging, also went
down to Join her in her ocean grave.

Carlton Dunlap, a carpenter lives With his

few miles from this city. One child is
bright little girl years old. The other Is
baby about months old. 1t is frctful and
cries a great deal A few days ago the baby
was more than unusually cross. Its mother
had been trying in vain to quiet it for long
time. At length the little girl, Nettie, said:
"What sail we do wiz baby, mamma, if he
don't stop his tryin''
"We'll have to sew his mouth mp, guess,
Nettic," the mother thought'cssly replied.
The next dav, while the baby was sleeping
in its cradle, Mrs. Dunlap ran to n neighbors
on an errand, leaving Nettie playing on the
expected to be, and while hurryiIg back
home and on entering tine yard she heard
her baby shreking as though in great pain.
She ran into the house, and found Nettie
standing by tho side of the cradle and
bending over the baby. When Nettie heard
her her she rose up. Blood was running
from the baby's mouth Nettie held in her
hand darning needle containing q short
piece of yarn, which Mrs. Dlnlap had left
sticking in a cushion on the table. Mrs Dun.
lap took the screaming baby quickly from
the cradle.
"Bahy walked up and tried" said Nettie,
-and me jes' dom to sew him's mouf up"
She had run the needle nearly through the
babys under lip in two places.

body ever entering in it, except on four aft

Oh four evenings when state balls or concerts
are given. 1t ought either to be understood
that this palace should be open to royal visi-
tors of high rank, or it should be converted
into hospital or museum. The vast sum
which the queen receives every year from the
country is not given to he boarded up, but is
intended to maintain the state and dignity
of the crown.
The English court has gradually acquired
n most unpleasant reputation abroad for
extreme parsimony, and ono would think
that instead of the civil list charges amount
ing to over E5O0,0 900 a year, the queen was
only in receipt of a tenth of that amount. So
far as expense goes it saves royal visitor
little or nothing to be a guest at "the palace"

Touching Jay Gould Heart.

A little black bearded man was walking
briskly up Broadway. yesterday afternoon,
when q shivering tramp, who had beoa loi-

stepped to one side and continued hts journey

and said In a louder tone than before:
4Please, cap, gi' me few cents FOR bowl OF
soup"
Even to this appeal the little mau paid no
attention, and would doubtless have succeeded
in escaping from the importunate tramp had
he not been stopped by friend who engaged
him in conversation. The beggar crowded
up as closely as possible to the two men aud
began piliful tale Of distress. He was
heard to say: sand everything Possessed

fellows got it." The little black-bearded
mans hand went quickly down In his pocket
and brought out a coin, which was placed on
the dirty palm of the mendicant, with the
words, "There, now go away, please" The
fellow shuffled away, evidently without
knowing that tho little man who gave him
the money was Jay Gould himself. The other
gentleman was Cyrus w. Field.
