The Woman and the Car.
PrOuidencc Journal.

A woman. She is standing on tho cor
ner. She has parasol and bundle in
one hand. In tho other she carries an
other buudlo, handbag, n pocket hand
kerchief, q letter, and two hairpins. A
horse car is moving slowly up the hill.
and when it is two blocks below she taps
her foot on the curbstone and looks
worried. When it gets block nearer,
she shakes tho parasol and the bundle,
and whom the distance is reduced to half
block she shakes tho other bundle, the
handbag, pocket handkerchief, letter,
aud the two hair pins. The horse car
shows no signs of stopping, and she steps
into the street and gets ahead and to ono
side of it, and says "hi," and when it
comes up to her it is stopped, and she takes
hold of it and looks hurt. Then she peers
through the windows and secs that it is
pretty full, and she puts one foot on tho
step, hesitates, then withdraws it and
puts tho other one up and looks beseech-
ingly into the faces of five men and the
conductor standing on the platform. The
five men sidle of into the street to make
room for her, and tho conductor holds out
one hand to assist her and grasps the bcll-
strap with the other, and she asks him
when the next car will be along, and says
she won't take this one, and he picks up
one bundle and the letter she has dropped
on the platform and hands them to her,
and she reluctantly releases her hold on
the car and makes her way back to tho
sidewalk, and an express wagon, u buggy,
and dray pull up for her, while she runs
down peanut stand, looking tho other
way to sec if the next car is in sight.

Alaska Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
There are not over thousand people
living in Sitks now, Indians and all, and
while the town at present is the govern
ment headquarters Of tho territory, IL is
not unlikely that Juneau will in time
rob it even Of this distinction, and then
Sitka, indeed, will bo left to the tender
mercies of the elements. l hopo there
will not be general forsaking OF tho old
place, for it is the most picturesquely sit
uated town in Alaska, and has had ro-
mantle history. But, Notwithstanding its
decay, Sitka has an excellent harbor and
pretty location. The bay is formed by
two long arms Of the main island, ending
in the peaks of Edgewood and Vestovia,
and Is protected from the open sea by a
group Of islands covered with n heavy
growth of timber. Behind the town
are piled mountains. with steep sides,
between two of which flows Indian river,
working its way through dense mass
of shrubbery and crossed by rustic
bridges. Betweon the wharf and tho
river, q distance Of two miles, runs the
pne street of Sitka, which lexdf past rthe
warehouses down by tho water at first and
then by the side Of the parade ground
anu tne government puilulngs anu tne
Russian church. Later on it leaves the
houses and follows tho crescent curve of
o rocky beach, where boats are hauled out
on, and from which an extended view Is
| had of Vestovia and the Intervening
islands. Following this highway, Sitka,
seen from the end of the road. appears
not unlike a fishing village of distant
Maine, for one sees the nets spread out to
dry upon the beach aud the houses all
have that weather-beaten look SO notice.

A Tenderfoot on the Plains.

Las Vegas Letter 10 Tie Hartford Courier.
Four thicknesses of blankets, above
nd below, with thick comfortable
wrapped around all, forms our covering.
The tips of our noses arc all that we
allow to meet the frosty winds, and verify
we begin to believe that we are tender
feet" indeed. We sleep, and get hardly
asleep when our experienced host sings
out, "Come, boys, it's daylightW We turn
our eyes eastward and there behold the
glorious dawn breaking upon the prairie;
band of deep crimson shading of into a
golden hue as it mingles with the deep
blue vault, the stars of which are still
shining brightly. Gradually it fades
and changes into q mellow white light,
which is quickly followed by the
rise of tho king of day. Tho night
has been unusually cold, the frost
sparkling on overcoats which were added
to our coverings. The suns rays soon
timber us up, and before our usual timo
of arising we have break tasted, packed,
and are on our way, feeling quite like
veterans. The great rolling prairies now
stretch out before US, and nothing varies
the monotony save an occasional lake
which has formed in the hollows of the
rolling land from the unusual abundance
of rain which has blessed this region this
season. Water, and only water, is the
great thing needed. With plenty of it
the whole Of these rolling miles of prairie
might be made a garden spot. For.many
months this section has been known to be
as dry as bone, not a drop of moisture
from river, spring, or cloud relieving its

Thers is one good thing in the Eden
Musoe. On the railing of a balcony leans
q girl. She is handsomely dressed, and
her figure as seen by those who pass back
of her, presents those outlines of con-
trasted slenderness and distensiou which
are oltener attempted than realized in
flesh aud blood. She holds catalogue in
one hand aud an eye-glass to her iaca
with the other. She seems to bo intent
on something on the main floor below, aud
everything about hor subtly suggests
filtration. The amount Of fun to bo
gained by taking seat Mt viewing dis
tance aud Watching the mashers try to
attract ller attention reconciles tho vis-
itor to the atrocities of tho show in gen
eral. They pass and repass her in tho
tpnd hope that she will finish her scrutiny
and turn to nearer objects; they ahem at
her and cast ogling glances; and, ON finally
discovering that she is II dummy, get

THE GERMAN MANrUvrRs.
Tho Manner In Which Crops Arc
Trampied and Peasants Paid.

Cologne Correspondence London Times.
Two reasons, probably, why autumn
maneuvers on large scale have been
discontinued in England arc the fact that
tho independent spirit of tho English
farmer would not submit to the trampling
down Of his late crops by large bodies of
troops, as we'll as tho unwillingness Of
English householders TO have soldiers
billoted on them in more piping times OF
peace. But these objections go for moth
ing in this country, of which the para
mount interest is the efficiency of its
army, and its army cannot possibly, in
the opinion of those best able to judge,
be made efficient without autumn ma
neuvers ON an enormous scale. Therefore
tho peasants and the landed proprietor
must patiently and periodically submit
to SEQ thoir clover, their turnip, and
their potato fields, their vineyards, thoir
orchards, and their cabbage gardens be-
come tho scene of mimic battle; and,
as far as the mere surface of tho ground
Is concerned, tho destruction wrought by
kriegspiel is not very much less complete
than that resulting from reel war. IL IL

pose Of appraising the damage done 20

Perhaps the mos cons.iq abe item in tho
maneuver expol ses IL sno sum thus

another very formidable charge is that
for cantoning the troops. 10 is always
contrived that the contonding corps shall
bivouac without tents for at least one
night-generally two-in tho course of
their exercises. aud, for tho rest of their
time, they arc lifted in tho village

on him householder is entitled ia

ceodingly great-he will return the ticket
to his enforced guest with a request tc

| The officers, of course, are always quar-
| tered on the better families, and, though
the latter are also entitled to pecuniary
return for their hospitality, and although
this return is always offered, it is almos
invariably declined. for German officers
though good and efficient, are rarely rich
