DIPLOMATIC TAFFY-PULLING.

When Mr.. Francis, our late repre-
sentative at the peculiarly exclusive
court of Vienna, was taking his depart
nre, he was not fully cognizant of the
''strained" relations which have since
arisen between us and the dcbt-ridden
dynasty at whose head is Franz Joseph.
That amiable old gentleman was absent
and so Mr.. Francis snapped tatfy with
Count Kalnoky, the foreign minister.
Mr. Francis part of the taiIy pulling
was, in view of subsequent proceedings,
very unique. He wanted His Excel
lency"-that was the absent Franz Jo-
seph-"to receive assurance of the sin
cere friendship cherished for him by
the President and people of the United
States, with the confident hope that
the good relations always subsisting be-
tween the United States and Austria.
Hungary will be maintained and
strengthened in the future" Mr.. Fran
els also wished long life and happiness
for Austria's august sovereign. -
Count Kalnoky pulled his end of the
piece of taffy in about the same manner
as Mr.. Francis had manipulated his.
But then they did not know Uncle
Franz Joseph was going to kick against
Mr. Kelley, and that the President and
people of this country were going to
kick against Uncle Franz Joseph

ON A REFORM BASIS.

The administration of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing under its new
superintendent, Mr.. +. o. Graves, af-
fords model of "retrcnchment and
reform" The bureau was running far
above its appropriations and def
cheney appropriation of $4,000 had
been provided. The economy of the
new chief rendered this unnecessary
and the expenses of the fiscal year We're
materially less than the original appro-
priations,
Since the advent of the new fiscal
year the bureau has been running on u
basis that indicates saving of $780,
900 on the years appropriations.
The bureau is no less exemplary in
its absolute adherence to ivil-Seryicc
Reform. Although hundreds of dis
missals have been made with view to
reducing the force, not single ap-
pointment has been made up to the
present time.

Views Of the President Of n street

Halfway.
William Richardson, president of the
Atlauiic-Avenuc and other Brooklyn

tion of the cable system, gave TO the
Brooklyn Union reporter his opinion of
its merits as compared with horse rail-
roads in the following terms:
The cost of putting cable system
of street railroad into operation on or
streets would be very large, but once
introduced its maintenance would be
very much less expensive than the
horses we now use are. Perhaps We
could get IL down 10 a quarter of the
total expenses of the road, counting in
the expense of interest ON the money
laid out to Introduce it. For in
stance, in Chicago, where they
have twenty miles Of their cable
railway, Mr.. Holmes president of the
South Chicago City Railroad Company,
tells me that though when he used
horses on his railroad Inc only ran sixty
cars, they cost him twice rs much ~
lSO cars propelled 10y the cable donDw.
The system utilizcs the power of u
stationary engine to operate cars miles
away from the source of power, trans
mitting the power by the medium
of an endless cable to the point re-.
uuircd, and at the necessary time.
believe that cables will ultimately solve
the problem of dispensing with animal
power, and that instead of being less
sCryicCablc ON steep grades and in
snowstorms, they will furnish super.
abundance Of speed and ability to over
come these obstacles. They will also
enable us to handle immense crowds
by the simple addition OF II
few bushels of extra coal and II
few more cars without the fear of over
loading animals, thereby killing more
in one day than our profits for II month
would pay for. 1t gives us more lati-
tudc for cconomizing in dull times,
(having no horses to feed, whether
they work or nOt,) and furnishes
ample means of expansion on short
notice without the necessity of using
extra animals for such occasions, we
will carry people in enough cars even
in the greatest rush to give every one Il
seat You see that the trouble with
putting on extra cars now is that each
additional car ncccssitatcs eight extra
horses, and we really cannot af-
ford to have four times the
number of horses we ordinarily want
waiting idle in our stables chewing up
our profits for the sake of meeting a
rush which will only last an hour or 50.
You can see yourself that we should be
ruined if we kept very large number
of extra cars each with its staff of hor-
scs waiting for this rush. - Brooklyn

ASSISTANT POSTMASTER HENRY
SHERWOOD of this city has not during
the absence of Postmaster Conger made
any arrangements for putting into
operation the special delivery system.
But he is receiving applications for car
riers' places by the bushcl almost daily.
Mr., Sherwood points out difficulty
that will be encountered by the post
master of every place where the system
is TO be inaugurated-tha is, that It
will be impossible to tell how many
carriers will be needed. In most in
novations made in the Postal Service i.
is possible to make some calculation as
10 what will be necessary, but rs there
has never been anything under the Gov
ernment resembling in the least the new
service, the postmaster is unable to tel
what must be done. 1t will be all &
matter of experiment at first, and upor
actual experience alone can a fiXeJ
service be based.

a Genuine SIal-StGn,.

Mr.. Ben Piles, citizen Of Sullivan
County, is the owner of n maidstone.
1t is gray in color, full of pores, and al
most rs light rs piece of paper. 1t is
genuine maidstone, and Mr.. Piles
keeps it wrapped in a piece of soft
cloth. 1t was brought to the United
States from Ireland many scores of
years ago by Mr.. Piles's ancestors.
Great care has been taken of it, and it
has been handed down from generation
to generation. 1t is valued at 800
Over 900 applications have been made
by it. Two pieces of it were broken
or, and are owned by parties in Louis
VILE and Terrc Hautc. The record of
the stone has been lost, however, as it
has changed hands so many times.
The stone has been in this country sixty
years, and has never been known to fail
to cure mad-dog bite when properly
applied. 1t has been in the Piles fam
lily for 200 years The editor of Sui
livan paper says that parties who have
been bitten by dogs living $50 miles
distant from Sullivan have been brought
to this wonderful stone and cured. The
stone looks the same now rs fifty years
ago Vincennes Qnd.) Dispatch.
