Boston Gazette.
There is ALI artist in this city who,
like most of those of his ilk, has his al
ternate periods of prosperity and finan-
cial depression, but who, unlike many
Others, is of a unique philosophic dispo-
sition. Whenever he strikes streak of
good luck and sells picture he goes and
gets the money he receives all in 81 bills.
These he rolls up separately and throws
about his studio indiscriminately, reserv-
ing only few dollars for immediate
necessities.
Then, when he gets hard up, he goes
rummaging around behind pictures and
frames, under chairs and lounges, among
old paint-tubes and other rubbish, until
he has found some of the wads of dollar
bills which he had previously sown
broadcast. He says that if he kept the
money in his pocket he should be sure tc
spend it, and hunting for and finding il
when needs press is ike renewed touch
of prosperity. 1t is said that Daubigny
the great French landscapist, did the
same thing, only he could SOW colder
louis dor instead of dollar bills.

A remarkable coincidence occurred on
one of the crowded trains between Wash
ington and Philadelphia, which was con-
veyins people from the Inauguration.
In one car sat tall, thin man, who hand
ed the conductor a pass as he came
| through The latter read the name on
the pass, glanced at the passenger, and
then said quietly, without changing a
muscle of his countenance, "Sorry you
didn't put me in your cabinet, Mr.. Cleve-
land" and passed on. Calling brake
man the passenger asked, ''What is that
conductors name?" Thurman" said
the brakeman, surprised at the question,
and more so at the laughter of the other
passengers. Mr.. Cleveland, the holder
of the pass, proved to be a central New
York merchant.

There is a school in North Stonington

their double barreled shotguns. Some
can watch for crows, while others stand
guard at the entry door. As soon as the
birds alight at stock yard near by the
boys blaze away at them, and then run
out and pick up the dead and wounded.
The sehoolmaster looks on, with his
hands on his hips, shaking with laugh
ter to see the sport. As the boys return

The Indian River and Florida Rail-
road


Jacksonville Herald
We understand that the prospect for
the construction of the new Indian River
and Florida railroad, from Enterprise to
Titusville, is most fiattering. The route
has been surveyed, and the engineers
reports are most encouraging. This
company, it is said, has ample capital to
put the road through without delay
whenever its construction is ordered.
When the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West railroad is completed to San
ford, and the Indian River and Florida
railroad to the Halifax section, travellers
can then make the trip between this city
and the Indian and Halifax sections in
just one-half the time it requires at pres
ent.
A most fertile and picturesque country
will be opened up by this new road. Its
length will be about forty miles.

OFF FOR EUROPE.
Ex-senator Dorsey, Col. Bob Ingersoll
and Their Future Prospects.

and Their Future Prospects.
Washington Letter
Ex-senator Dorsey, Col. Ingersoll and
two other gentlemen were enjoying
some 50-cent cigars in one of the best
rooms at Welcker's hotel, when the door
opened and ex-congressman John B. Al
ley entered. "The board of directors of
the Paola-B -Blanco cattle company" was
then ready to begin business. Senator
Dorsey, whose beard shows the faintest
touch of gray, wore black silk skull
cap, and Ingersoll's face. was as child
like, chubby and beaming as ever. The
meeting was of more than ordinary I'M
portance, for the profits of the year were
to be discussed and arrangements con-
cluded whereby at least two of the direc-
tors could take an extended tour abroad.
With smile of supreme satisfaction
the company received the information
that the profits for the last year to be dis
tributed were $500. 1000. Mr.. Alley was
elected president. Mr.. Dorsey yice-pres-
ident and manager, and Col. Ingersoll
secretary. These minor matters dispos-
ed of, Gov. Hadley, of Arkansas, who
has charge of Senator Dorsey's private
ranch, was made acting manager of the
whole property. "Now, we can go to
Europe" said Dorsey to Ingersoll, where
upon the latter nodded ascraphic assent.
"Dorsey's ranch" is beyond doubt the
largest in the United States, and combines
seventy eight ranches, which were bought
in, with all their property and cattle, at
one fell swoop. 1t is 60x90 miles in ex-
tent covering and area of ., 400 square
miles,, and lies in the heart of Colfax
county, in the northeastern corner of
New Mexico, the property has increased
so fast in value that it is now believed to
represent at least twice that amount.
To give some idea of the productive
ness of the ranch it may be stated that it
shipped last year 10, 622 beeves, the lar
gest number ever shipped from one ranch
in the same period There are now on
the property 5000 head of cattle, exclu-
sive of about 5000 on smaller ranch
adjoining, belonging to company OF
which Mr.. Dorsey is also the chief owner
and president.
As above stated, Mr.. Dorsey and Col
Ingersoll will now go to Europe. Their
investment provides them with the "act.
ual necessities of life and something
over, and they propose to enjoy existence
Mr. Dorsey will be gone year or two
while Col. Ingersoll proposes to be abroad
with his family at least five years.

An Incident of the First Steamer
Savannah.

Savannah.
H. c. S. in N. o. Times Democrat
read your remarks about the steam
ship Savannah, the first vessel that
ever crossed the Atlantic or any other
ocean propelled by steam, with the deep
est interest.
remember quarter of century ago
hearing Simri Rose, renowned Georgia
editor in his day, tell the story of tha-
steamer, repeating the main facts you
have.
He said the English were so complete
ly taken by surprise when the Savannah
approached Liverpool, emitting a dense
volume of black smoke from her Chin
neys, they rang the fire bells and dis
patched number of vessels, armed with
fire extinguishing apparatus, to ''the as
sistance" of the supposed burning ship.
But when the gallant Captain Rogers
/ flew through them, and his crew gave
them hearty cheer, their eyes turned to
full moons.
OF course the English accepted the Sa
vannah as an accomplished revolution
and in the next few months had the keels
of dozen steamers laid. Not only her
mercantile marine, but her great naval
heroes visited the American craft, and at
once began applying steam to men-of
war;
This was the first great revolution in
the British navy suggested by Southern
genius. The second was inaugarated by
Southern men converting the Merrimac
into and ironclad, and whipping fleet
of Federal men-of-war in Hampton
Roads in 1862. The English laid the
keels of forty-five ironclads inside of one
month after that fight.
The third revolution born in Southern
brain was the torpedo boat, put intC
Charleston harbor, manned by four ol
five men, and which routed the entire
blockading squadron, badly injuring the
largest ship and herself, and soaring tn,
balance so badly they were not seen TO
O week after.
That little 30-foot boat is now the Da
vids of the navies and coast engineers O
the earth, while the once invincible iron
, clad Goliaths of the ocean are consciou
they are perfectly helpless in their pres
ence and no match for them in action
In the first war between maritime na
, tions you will see the full effect of thi
!, Southern invention-see, indeed, preser
, naval vessels abandoned for offensiv
| purposes, just as all other models in oti
2 er ages have been-just as every machin
{ and device now on exhibition in you
city will give way TO improvements con
ing in future ages.
