THE City of London is the
most wonderful place in the whole
world, and its frequenters the most
wonderful people. 1t is the small
est of cities, but the most valuable.
1t has an area of one square mile,
but that one square mile produces a
rental Of 100000 per annum,
and its inhabitants pay one-sev-
enth of the general rates of the
whole metropolis, which has an area
of 1870 square miles. Land is some
times now sold in the country at
about $40 per acre, which is equal
to one half-penny per square yard.
1t has been sold in the city at 9640
per square yard, which is equal to
over 100000 per acre. In 9th
or words the price Of a square yard
of land in Lombard street has real
lied a sum that would purchase a
nice little freehold estate in Berk-
shire of not less than sixty-four
acres. 1t is calculated that 10000
people enter the city daily, Sun
days excepted. in hopes Of making
money without "toiling or spin

There are a number of Demo-
cratic Congressman in Washington
now and there is a general feeling
among them that the President
should proceed at an early day to
remove the members of the Civil
Service Commission and appoint a
new board The feeling that the
present commissioners are unfit for
the responsible positions they hold
is not, however, confined to Demo
Gratis, but Republicans and mug
wumps are also free to admit that
change would be desirable. - [Os-

Every year, and sometimes
twice year, in Ohio and else
where, the Republicans never tire
in their efforts to "organize" intelli-
gent men and to keep them organ
lied. But the South they resolute-
ly let alone. Why? Because they
desire to make of the South per
petual issues 1t would appear SO.
If the intelligent voters of Ohio
cannot be held in the Republican
party-cannot be held up to their
work, so to speak-without a per
petual racket, how do the Repnbli-
can leaders expect to control the
negroes? How do they expect to
organize them p Atlanta Consti-
tuition.

FacIs About Alaska

The Yukon river in Alaska, is so
long, says Lieutenan: Schwatka,
that if its source were at Salt Lake
its waters might empty into New
York Bay, and its mouth Is so wide
that New York would be on one
side and Philadelphia on the other.
Alaska has a coast line greater than
that of all the rest of the United
States. adding together the Atlantic,
gulf and Pacific seaboards.
Alaska contains an area OF 100000
square milestone sixth the size oi
the whole Of Europe. 1t extends to
Behring straits. or about thirty-6ye
miles from Asia. Ii has 10000
square miles of forest and can sup
ply the world with lumber for the
next ten centuries. Her seal, sal
mon and Goldfish crops excel those
Of any other portion of the world.
1t has a full supply of gold, copper
and iron mines.
The south side of Alaska has a
climate as mild az Kentucky. while
the north side has climate as cold
and rugged as that found in the Arc
tic Ocean, p to 80 below zero. for
three long months Alaska carries
the model republic SO far west thai
California has become the centre OF
that republic. In 25 years from

He came to the bower Of her | love
Twanging his sweet guitar
He called her in song his snow-white dove,
His lily, his fair, bright star, e e
While sat close by the brown-eyei maid
And helped her enjoy her serenade. af
He sang that his love was beyond compare
His voice was sweet as his song);
He said she was pure, and gentle and fair,
And told her he wasn't far wrong.
/ dou.t know whether he heard me or not, :
For his Estring snapped ike a pistol shot. {
He told how he loved her DER and o'er,
With passion in every word, s,.5

And sweeter ones ne'er were heard.
But the night dews loose d his guitar strings
And they buzz ia out oftune Ike crazy things

Oh, sweet was the love-born strain;
And the night caught up each tremuru sigh
And echoed each sweet refrain; 70.

A Daring Act.

The daring experiment of Paul
Boyton in Yew York harbor, in at
taching a bogus torpedo to the bow
of the English war ship Garnet, re-
calls an event in the long ago, when
General jackson was President. The
old frigate Constitution, which has
now been afoat for nearly a century,
was at that time lying off the Brock
lyn NaYy-ysrd and used as a receiv-
ing ship. Familiarly known as ''old
Ironsides," the craft had always
been a venerated object, on account
of her having lowered the pride Of
"Old England" in her wooden walls
by capturing the Cyane and Levant
in the war Of 1912, when under Com
modore Stewart. The Democratic
and Whig politicians were waging
fierce battle for supremacy, and
when the Navy Department bad a
block of wood carved to represent
General Jackson placed on the prov
of the old frigate as a figure head,
there was howl from the disgusted
Wings at the idea of placing "Old
Hickory" before the Constitution.
One dark. rainy night an ardent
Wing made his way, unseen and un-
heard to the offending figure head,
and with saw severed the head
from the body. An accompliee
waiting in a boat below. carried
away the executioner as well as the
decapitated head, and it was broad
daylight before the mutilation was
discovered By the horrified officers
of the frigate. Many years elapsed
before the perpetrator of this daring
act was discovered, and he went un-
whipped of Justice. His name is
Samuel W. Dewey, and he is living
IN Chicago.
