Mr.. Bayard,s western Tour.

Mr.. Bayard doubtless spoke the senti-
ments of the administration in his speech
at st. Louis Wednesday, when he said
that every effort would be made by the
President and his constitutional advisers
to allay whatever sectional feeling that
remains.
! 1t has been very clear ever since Presi-
dent Cleveland's EMANCIPATION that he has
been influenced by motives of the most
patriotic kind, and that his purpose is to
so govern the country that it shall not be
said that any public interest is sacri-
feed to advance the interest of party or
friends.
He is ably assisted in his efforts by those
who are his advisers, and who are in
hearty sympathy with him. Before a
year has passed the little dissatisfaction
that has cropped out on account Of disap-
pointments respecting the offices will
have disappeared, and the country will
recognize the fact that the administration
has only one great purpose in view, and
that is to so administer the government
that the people will feel that the interests
of one citizen are not considered of more
lHlpoi JduCe Cutu Jue lHISIebJS Vi duOLneT
citizen.
1t is noticeable that Mr.. Bayard
took occasion to direct attention to
his own work in behalf of the
Mississippi river. He was anxious,
doubtless, to make good impression on
his Missouri friends. He is looking for
ward hopefully, perhaps, TO 1888. A good
many ambitious men have looked toward
the Presidency from the position of Secre-
tary of State and been disappointed. Mr..
Bayard may succeed where so many have
failed. He certainly has warm friends in
all parts Of the country-friends On whom
he can depend to stand by him three years
hence. 1t requires a strong man, however,
to overcome the difficulties in the road to
a Presidential nomination or to the Presi-
dencY.

GordOn's Antidote for the Apple.

From, Mr.. Ld5Ouchere's Truth, London.
Here is a droll story about Gen. Gordon that
has not yet found its way into print. The
General entertained peculiar ideas concern
ing the Edenic apple by which Mother Eve
introduced death and all our wOe'' into the
world. The constituent clements of this fruit
Gordon held to be present in the blood of
every member Of the human race up to the
present day, and he commended that their
virus could only be subdued and counteracted
by frequent participation IN the bread and
wine of the sacrament. But so material
view did he take of this rite that he thought
the more man could INCEST, in quantity, Of
the cOnsecrated food the better would be his
chances of eXpurgating from his physical
organism the poisonous cOrpuscles of the for
hidden apple. Having foreseen that there
would be little or no opportunities Of recev-
ing the sacrament in the SOudan. Gordon re-
solved TO take as much as possible of the
sacred elements before starting. lie there
fore occupied himself on the Saturday before
his last Sunday in England IN ascertaining
the hours at which communion would be
administered in the various churches within
reach of the place where he then was, and,
rising early on the Sunday morning, he went
from church TO church in turn, partaking Of
the sacrament in each, and thus received the
elements some half-dOzen times in succession,

Yet no member OF the Cleveland Cabinet
has been more studiOusly ignored and mis-
represented by certain leading newspapers IN
New York and the East than has Mr.. Bayard.
His acts as Secretary of State are either
passed over in silence, though he has placed
the question OF the rights Of American citi-
zens abroad and the future of the Panama
canal on an entirely new footing, or ascribed
to President Cleveland. His appointments to
important positions have been necessarily
more numerous than those Of his colleagues,
and have, therefore, oftener gwen his OPP
pOnents texts for crtlcism-critcism nearly
always wholly unfair. But this fact does not
fully explain the animus OF his critics. The
Secretary of State is subject, in fact, to two
Disadvantages: he is a leading member of the
Democratic administration, and he is per-
son whom both Republicans and rival Demo-
Gratis fear to speak too well of lest lie should
in 1883 turn out to be the Democratic nominee
for the Presidency

Lamar's Life Saved by senator Ransom.

WASHINGTON Letter to the PbiLadeEDbid Times.
During the stormy days of the Forty fourth
Congress, when the electoral count was being
made, Ransom established a new chain to the
future Secretary's gratitude. Mr.. Lamar
made near the close of the session one of his
eloquent appeals in favor of standing by the
electoral count. This speech was MADE late at
night, when some Of the members had been TO
the restaurant more frequently than was cd
for their mental powers. There was one mem
Der who has since passed away, and whose
name will not therefore be used who was
drunk, exceedingly drunk. He heard
Lamars speech, and SO did Senator
Ransom, who had come over from the
Senate for that purpose. At its conclusion
Lamar and Ransom walked into the room back
of the Speakers stand and sat down. The
drunken member, enraged al Lamar's speech.
swore he would kill him, and going to where
Ransom and Senator Lamar were seated,
called the latter traitor to his party, and,
drawing a pistol, presented it at Lamar's
breast. Lamar did not see it, but Rams m
did, and seized the drunken man, whirled him
round and pushed him toward the door. La
mar caught the situation and drew his pistol,
but said: II win not shoot him; his back is
toward me-" This event bound Lamar still
more firmly to Ransom.

Guns sometimes Burst Easily.

From the Manufacturer and Builder.
In bravado young man placed the muzzle
of his fOwling piece under the water and fred
the charge. The result was the bursting Of
the barrel near the breech, and the mutilaton
OF his hand. Another placed and held the
muzzle Of his gun square against piece Of
plate window glass and fired the charge
powder and bullet. The glass was shattered,
80 was the gun barrel. Another Instance was
was that OF an eXperimenter, who had heard
that candle could be fired from the barrel Of
gun through an inch board. lie drove a
candle into the muzzle Of the gun, fired, and
the explosion split the barrel almost its entire
length, and did not even drive the candle from
the muZZe. still another burst OF a gun
barrel was caused by the use of wet
grass as wad. we-rammed down
over a charge OF shot. But perhaps one of the
most singular exhibitions IN this line WAS a
Colts navy revolver. which some years ago
was sent TO the factory in Hartford, Conn
THIS was before the adaptation of these pistols
70 the metallic cartridges, and IL is probable
that in loading with omen powder and ball
only a small amount OF powder got into the
chamber, and the bullet was not propelled
with sufficient force - drive IL from the muz-
Zle-at least the bullet did not 60 out, but
lodged. AS the shooter did not know whether
the bullet escaped or not he kept on firing
until the barrel burst or bulgCd. and when IL
was sawed in two lOngtudinally there were
found fourteen bullets wedged one into the
other, aud so much upset 10y the hammer
ing OF the successive explosions Of the powder
charges that some Of them were not less than
one inch in diameter, ilattened dies instead Of
COnical bullets.

Mr.. Keene willing to Take Even

Alongside the roadway near the Jerome
Park race track a three card monte swindler
set up his tripod. James Il. heene, the Wall
streeter, arrived with several friends, and
looked on the game. The gamblers pal re-
sorted to the familiar trick of slyly bending a
corner of the face card, by that means max
ing it appear that the winning one could be
picked out to a certainty. Keene surprised
the spectators by saying:
''I'l take you for $50 that 1 can pick out the
jack"
The sum was above the gamblers capital,
but he got $40 out of his pockets, and the
stakes were put into the hands of an honest
bystander.
''Now, my fine fellow" said Keene, ''yOu
think you've got sure thing on me. But you
haven't. The chances are exactly even. 1
shan't choose the bent card, for of course,
that isn't the jack. You've smoothed the jack
in handling them, and bent one of the others.
So the jack must be one of the smooth cards,
and in taking this one" ana here he placed
his hand on "a card, my chan es are equal
against you. See! An! Yes, I've Won" He
pOcketed the stakes, and was cheered by the
instructed crowd.

he received, doubtless, with some sur
prise. The evidence against Cluverius
was pretty strong, but, as reported
in the dispatches, there appeared
room for doubt as TO his guilt. His de-
tense was weak, but it is probable that it
was the very best defense that could have
been made. His hope was that the case
made out by the State was not sufficiently
strong to remove all doubt from the minds
OF the jury. The jury, however, don't
appear 10 have been troubled by doubts.
They were not long in finding verdict Of
guilty.

SUNDAYS Earlh0uake.

Destructive earthquakes have occurred
quite frequently within the last two or
three years in Asia and Europe. That
which occurred last Sunday, and de-
stroyed Serinagur, and laid waste the
beautiful Vale of Cashmere, was not so
destructive to life and property as that
which wrought such ruin in Ischia two
years ago, or that which a month later, in
the Straits of Sunda, ruined a large sec
ton of country and destroyed thousands
of lives. These great earthquakes were
followed by others in Europe which,
though less destructive, were terrible
calamities.
Serinagur is the capital and chief city
of Cashmere. 1t was founded in the
sixth century, and extends along both
banks of the Jhylum river for distance
of three or four miles. The following is
perhaps a pretty fair description of it:
"Many of the city thoroughfares are
canals, and these, with the river, are
crowded with boats of all descriptions
and floating bath houses. Extending for
six miles around the northeast side of
the city is the beautiful Lake of
Dial, dotted with islands, on which are
groves of plane trees, and also with float
ing islands, artifcially constructed, on
which are famous melon and cucum-
Der gardens. The blue lotus
flower also abounds there. The
streets of the city are narrow
and filthy. The houses are mostly OF
wood and mudbricks, three or four stories
high. The Governors house is in a huge
fort at the southeastern corner of the city,
and there Is a temple said to be capable
Of holding 10000 wOrshipers. Apart from
these there are no public buildings of in
terest. The city is the centre of the
shawl trade, one-fourth Of the inhabitants
being engaged therein. The manufacture
Of articles Of papier mache and painted
woodward is also an important industry.
Some silk is produced, and large quanti-
ties of fruit are raised. Silver and copper
wares are manufactured, and lately a
good deal Of paper has been made. In
1915 an industrial exposition of the pro-
ducts of Cashmere was held there. Ten
years ago Serinagur had 1872, 900 inhabi-
tants, twO-thirds being Mohammedans,
and the remainder mostly Hindoos. But
/ the famine of 1878 reduced the popula-
tion to less than 10000, and it now is
| probably not more than 10000"
