WARNING WORDS.

The British Minister at NashhSi"" ''''
Prophetic Words That May Well be Heed
ed By the American Peopie-Dynamite
May Come Home to Our Capitol.
wAsHISGroS. d. C., January 20.
Minister West says England has no
animosity toward America on account oil
the dynamite troubles, but is justiliably
indignant at the delay in passing suppress
siye laws against the manufacture OF ex-
plosiyes. lie remarked that there is no
danger of an interruption of the amicable
relations OF the two countries and
that the passage of the Edmunds bill
will be very gratifying to the English
people. "Amcrica must not Imagine"
said he. "that it will be exempt from the
operations of the dynamite conspirators.
The organization, infamous as 1t is, has
an extended sympathy, which, II not
checked, will command the active CO.
operation of all persons who are in favor
OF upsettng social order. England Is not
alone interested in eXtermlnatng the dy-
namiters--a fact that the United States
will speedily realize, If it does not adopt
a vigorous policy. The time may not be
far distant when internal machines are
exploded In the crypt of the American
Capitol as they were in the House Of
Commons.

A Clever Peacock.

Landlord Thomas Brown, of hotel
at Stapleton, Staten Island, owns a big
peacock named Pete, which is a great
pet in the ncighborhood. Pete has at
tanned local reputation through a
trick of hopping up on the bar and dip
ping its bill in glass of ginger ale
whenever a customer is willing to pay
twenty-five cents to have Pete Join in
the treat. Mr.. Brown says one bitter
cold night a year ago he found Pete
perched on the roof of the house nearly
frozen. He took him TO the hay-mow
and left him there. Ever since that
time Pete roosts in the hayloft. A few
months ago Brown got mate
cred that Browns bedroom window
was directly over the roof of an extern
sion back Of the house. He got in the
habit of coming there and tapping with
his beak on the window pane, until
Mrs. Brown gave il some delicacy to
eat Pete soon taught his mate to come
there, too, after the good things. lie
always waited until she was served
first. On Friday night last, when it
was terribly cold, and about midnight,
there was n greht clatter at the bed
room window. Pete was there. lie
looked half frozen. Brown opened the
window and lifted him in. Then he
shrieked as only peacock can. lie
pecked and flew at the window. Brown
opened il and away he went, chatter.
ing and scolding. He flew TO the roof
of the barn and looked down at tho
haymow door. Some of the men had
accidentally shut Pete out from his mate

SARA SOLD OUT.
The Creditors of the Ethereal sara Pounce
Upon Her Unguarded Treasures and
Bring Them Under the Hammer.

LONDON January IS.
Sara Bernhardt has been sold up by her
creditors. They have been dunning her
ever since her return from America. Life
grew so unbcarablc at last that Sara lc #
the Rue Fortuny and moved to the Rue
St. Georges While she was dressing for
Theodore at the Porte st. Martin the
auctioneers at the Hotel Druot knocked
down her pictures, curios, hangings and
furniture. The whole proceeds of
the sale, which attracted lit
tie attention, hardly exceeded l6,000f.
Most things went for mere song. 1t is
suspected that all worth saving was
bought by her friends, and will soon find
the way TO Sara's new apartment. The
ladies' who attended the sale seemed shy
of buying. A sedan chair which once
adorned the hall of Nine. Bernhardt's
villa was sold to the Count lie Gonide for
$50 francs. Three skulls Of celebrated
criminals went for five francs apiece.
while a whole skeleton was given away
lor three francs. The sad thought l.
that Sara is even Temporarily parted from
her property. On the whole, she is little
to be pitied. Her abode, though old
fashioned, is princely; her rent to April,
1856, is paid in full. She has rid herself
of duns, and has prospect of making a
million and half in America to comfort
her.

The Hopkinsville q cadiz R. R.

The subscription books of the II. &
{. Railroad were circulated this week.
IN order to effect an organization ii
is necessary tat $500 Of stock be
taken prior to the election of officers.
Several books were circulated here
and two were sent to CadiZ. About
$1,000 has already been reported from
this end of the proposed line and the
books sent to Trigg have not yet been
heard from. The stockholders have
Oeen called to meet next Tuesday
night in this city, for permanent
organization. 1t is likely that Judge
J. |. Landes will be chosen President
Of the company. He is well qualified
Tor the place and will push the work
through energetically.
Maj. j. w. Robinette, of the c. &
o., has made careful estimate oftJe
probable cost of building the 20 miles
Of road AMI places the expense per
mile at $1,000. This includes gra
ding, trestling, bridging and ironing
wide gauge road, but does not
provide for right of way or equipping
with rolling stock, or the erection of
depots, etc. This makes the estimat-
ed cost of building the road $l46.OOO
and it is believed that it can be built
and equipped for 100000 and even
less if convict labor be employed.
The plan is to let the corporation
operate the road or else lease It 10
some other road that will use it az a
competing line with the L. Nm. The
road when completed will be crow
foot with Hopkinsville, Cadiz and a
point Un the Chesapeake and Ohio
road as the terminal points. Ofcourse
the plans are all in embryo at present,
but il has been suggested that the
junction of these branches be OH the
Princeton road a few miles from the
city. The route proposed for the main
stem is out the Princeton road, then
to bear to the left striking the Cadiz
road at or near w. ID. Summers and
then run directly west by McGehee's
store and Old Belleview to the Trigg
line and thence by the nearest route
to Cadiz. This route is ofcoursc sub
ject to alteration and may be largely
influenced by the disposition of the
parties along the road to give the
right of way. Hopkinsville stands
ready to do her part. We believe
100000 can be easily raised and if
Cadiz will meet us at the line the
building of the road is as good as
assured. Communications from the
people along the line are invited.
Let us hear the opinions of those in
terested.

but as this did not happen TO us, we
enjoyed it the more.
We finally arrived safe and sound
at what is here called West End.
Here we find great many bath
houses. hotels, pools of gold and sill
yer fishes, alligalors and last but not
least the puzzle garden this is mere

shrub resembling our hedge plant
and wired to keep you from break

ranged in angles, curves, circles and
caves running under the ground.
They are about thirty feet wide and
two hundred feet long, and when
on once get into the centre or even
start in the edge it is almost impossi-
bic to find your way out unless you
have some one to guide you. Lcav-
ing West End we stop off the cars
to inspect the Cemeteries. No graves
are dug here, every body is buried
above ground and some fine monu-
ments mark the graves of the dead.
All the Cemeteries are OH this route
and it took us some time TO in
sDect them. One monument that
struck us particularly was that of
Albert Sidney Johnston u vast hol-
low earthen mound has been thrown
up aud upon this will be placed his
monument. Within the mound u

Ger, who lost his life on the day that
Gen. Johnston died and the collins
will be placed therein as soon as the
mound is completed.
About fifty yards from one of the
Cemeteries, buffalo Bill" gives daily
exhibitions of his wild Western
scenes. We saw his parade to-day
and intend before we leave to take
his show in, but did not have time
to do it to-day. Returning from the
Cemeteries we procure tickets and
