THE New York Herald insists upon
it, that the New York Sun does not
desire to defeat Cleveland, and the
Sun by giving laid and comfort" to
Butler, is trying to defeat Blaine. If
the Sun is against Cleveland and does
wish to see Blaine elected, and has
no hopes of electing Butler, what is
the true position of the San ? Can
it be that Mr.. Dana, by backing up
Butler, prefers to see Blaine elected,
as the least of two evils 1t would
seem so.

Ii a candidate is willing to stand on
the platform his party has built for
him, let him simply say so and be
done with it. Any candidate who

his party friends have said, has too
much vanity to be acceptable to the

His First Lobster.

One day Colonel Visscher wandered
into a prominent hotel in Louisville
and observing with surprise and pleas
ure that ''boiled lobster" was one of
the delicacies on the bill of fare he
ordered one.
He had never seen lobster and rare
treat seemed to be in store for him. He
breathed in what atmosphere there was
in the dining-room and waited for his
bird. At last it was brought in. Mr.
Visscher took one hasty look at the
great scarlet mass of voluptuons limbs
and oceanic nippers, and sighed. The
lobster was as large as a door mat and
had q very angry and intlamed appear
ance. Visscher ordered in powerful
cocktail to give him courage, and then
he tried to carve off some of the breast.
The lobster is honery even in death.
He is eccentric and thrilling. Those who
know him best are the first to evade
and shun him. Visscher had failed
to straddle the wish-bone with his fork
properly, and the talented bird OF the
deep rolling sea slipped out of the
platter, waved itself across the horizon

The eminent and talented young man
took it in his napkin, put it carefully on

One day while it was raining very
hard | heard knock at. the bedroom
door.
Who could it be?
"Walk in," said /.
The door opened very slowly, and in
walked Mrs. Prm
She did look so comical | had to
smile. But Mrs. Prim doesn't like to
be laughed at, so [ turned my head
away quickly, and looked out of the
window.
She had on grandma's black bonnet,
which was so big it kept bobbing from
one side to the other. Then, too, she
had on grandma little black-and- white
shawl, which she was trying to hold to-
gether with one hand, while with the
other she clasped her three children.
SUSIE, Blanche and Mabel-close to her
side.
| really felt anxious about Susie Her
head hung down, while her feet stuck up
in the air. l was afraid of apoplexy.
Mrs. Prim had one of my big cook
aprons for a dress, which trailed be-
hind her on the floor.
Chow do 90 do, ma amp" said she,
making q very low bow, when over went
grandma S big bonnet on Mrs. Prim' s
dear little nose. In trying to fix that
she dropped her three dollies on the
floor
Never mind the children, Mrs.
Prim. I'll pick them up" 1 replied,
lifting her up into chair

placed Susie, Blanche and Mabel in their

Mrs. Prim told me all about Susie's

to be punished because she was

A Hundred Miles an Hour.

Some time ago an American locomo,
tive, fitted with new brake, was
brought over to this country, but its
performances do not seem to have made
any stir. Some of the American pa
pers are suggesting that an English To-
connective of the best type should be
bought by one OF the companies in the
United States, and be tested against one
of their standard engines for speed and
durability. The question has come to
the front mainly on account of the agi-
tation for quicker service between
New York and Philadelphia, distance
OF ninety miles, which one engineer
thinks may be covered in an hour Such
a speed as that has never been accom-
plished by any train, and it is doubtful
whether an engine by itself has ever
run at that rate, even for short dis
lance. 1t is very well known that some
of the expresses on the great lines run
ming to the North do occasionally reach
a speed of seventy miles and more, 90
ing down some OF the long banks, but
the running average of the fastest trains
in this country is fifty miles an hour
That is accomplished by the Great
Northern Flying Scotchman, which
does the whole journey from Edinburgh
to Kings Cross at running average of
forty-eight miles. Running average, it
should be explained, is calculated on
the time the train is actually in motion,
the journey average of the train men,
toned being only a tritle less than forty
four miles an hour The Great West
ern, which, thanks to the general level
character of its line, should do better
shows running average for expresses
of forty-sx miles, and the Midland,
which has more severe gradients than
the Great Northern, shows a running
average of forty-hve and forty-siX
miles with fastest trains on parts of a
long journey. These speeds do not
represent the actual rate of motion on
levels or down inclines, which is very
much higher, but rarely exceeds sew
enty miles. Slowing at functions, and
over difficult parts of the road, brings
the average to that given above. The
road from New York to Philadelphia is
| almost level the whole way, and if a
speed of ninety miles kept up for an
hour is possible anywhere it should be
on that line; but even in that case it
will be necessary to run over parts of
the road at speed of about hundred
miles, which, rightly or wrongly, has
been regarded as limit, for at higher
speeds the driver and stoker would find
it not an easy matter to. breathe. -

cry and beg Jeanette to take her back
home. But Jeanette said no, she must
mind her beasts and wait for the night
time to come for leading them home.
To fill up the cup of her misery the sky
grew dark and a heavy rain fell. Jean
nette, with her coarse, wooden gown,
was not much hurt, but Roses thin
clothes were soaked through directly.
At last Jeanette agreed to return to the
house. Poor Rose, wet, muddy and tat
tered, threw herself into her mothers
arms, saying: mamma, I will not be
lazy any more; I'll learn as many les
sons as you choose, but please never
send me to keep COWS any more"

child, do you think you would have had
such disagreeable day if your papa or
| had been with your
Rose-Oh, no, mamma! You would
have told me pretty stories and many
interesting things about the flowers and
animals that l saw, while Jeanette
never had anything to say but: LA,
miss! l don't know"
Mother-What makes this difference,
think you, my child?
Rose-Why, mamma, 1 think it comes
from Jeannette's being so ignorant, and
not liking to learn, while you and papa
know SO many things.
Mother-Ah, well, do you still want
to be like JeannetteP

study hard, that | may be wise like you,

Not Content with Being the Best.

Whatever may be said in regard to the
propensity of the management of great
railway lines to provide for the public only
what is actually demanded in the way of
accommodations and comfort, can in no
way apply to the management of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway, or
as it is moro Familiarity known, 1.-THE
Great Rock Island Route" This line has
for years been recognized as the best and
most comfortable route between Chicago
and Kansas City and the Southwest, and
has been abundantly able on this account
to successfully cope with its competitors.
But not satisfied with this success and its
already elegant equipment, its managers
have. caused to be turned out of its shops,
at Chicago, magnificent line of Dining
Cars which go into immediate service on
the Kansas City Line. These cars contain
all the conveniences Of well furnished din
ing rooms, are elegant in design and finish,
and models of tho advanced railway art of
the day. Within them meals are furnished
equal to those of any first-class hotel in the
land at the low rate of seventy-five cents.
Travellers on this line now find on its trains
ell the comforts and conveniences of first
class hotels. Besides the best of first and
second-class coaches there are Parlor Chair
Cars (which are free to all passengers
holding through frst-class tickets), Pull

for their generous prov sions for the wants
