City and Country.

Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
1t might seem a little paradoxical to say that
one of the advantages of a large city is that you
can avoid distasteful infringement of people and
live your own lfe but it is statement verified
by experience. In the small places life is almost
made burdensone by the necessity Of constant
contact with those who are in tastes, ideas and
aims totally foreign to you. There is no escaping
this contact In a great town you minge with
people on a large scale, at public meetings where
affairs of moment canvassed or at assem-
blageS gathered for amusements prepared with
the best wit of the age and given with eopious
outlay of means. 1t is matter of choice with
you If you gregarious to even this extent.
Then the volume ard variety of action in city
interesting and inspiring They furnish you
with fuel for internal fires. Masses of people
are rarely vulgar or tedious. Ia the big town
you can select your cOmpanionShips or you can
live solitary as your mood indicates. In the
small place you are year by year worn down by
petty and constant social attritOn TO the com
pexiOu and standard of those about you. There
is kindness and neighborliness about the
small towns but despite all the defamation
against cities the fullest life of emotion and en-
.erprse is to be sought there if it be desired and
the undisturbed enjoyment of ones own person
atty is also to be sought there Byron, In his
''Childe Harold" lamented the solitude of the
city. There is aspect of it which is absolutely
a boon and blessing. One can hardly wonder
why 30 many are drawn TO the great centers

The Formers Quaint Indorsement OF the
Monitor.


John Winslow Of Poughkeepsie, was the
hacker of John Ericsson in the building of the
first Monitor during the last war. A Baltimore
gentleman, who recently visited MIR. WinslOw,
says that the latter is rich, prosperous and, al
though quite old, is in very good health. This
Baltimore visitor relates a story given by
Mr.. Winslow of his experience in Wash
lngton when he sought to have Ericsson's
invention recognized by the government. Mr..
Wlnslow was firmly convinced of the merits of
Ericssons invention He was ready to furnish
him the capital required provided the govern
ment would recognize Ericsson and adopt the
Monitor in the service. WipsloW and Ericsson
went to Washington. They had interviews with
Secretaries Stanton and Welles. Mother of them
gave them the slightest encouragement. They
then went to Mr. Lincoln. He listened to them
very carefully and then said "Fhis is matter
for my secretaries to consider" But have
already been to them, said Mr. Winslow. well,
what do you want me to do" said Mr.. Lincoln.
1--WE want you to get us another hearing before
the Secretary Of War, and we want you to be
present during the interview and to give us if
possible, the benefit of your approval" Mr..
Lincoln promised to come over during the
afternoon. An engagement was made with
stanton. Mr.. Lincoln appeared promptly at the
time set In the Secretarys room at that time
there was a huge pine box of some kind of army
supplies standing up on end. Mr.. Lincoln
mounted this box and sat Oh its top drumming
against its sides with his heels as Ericsson and
Wnslow presented their arguments and ex-
planned what they expected to do Mr.. Lincoln
never said word during the course of the talk,
and did not ask single question. He listened,
though, with the most profound attention.
Stanton turned toward him at the close of the
argument and said What do you think of it2'
Mr.. Lincoln rubbed his knee softly, and said:
This reminds me of little story. There was
once woman who was very stout, and who bad
a long struggle one day putting tight stock
ing When she had finished she stamped her
foot and said, I think there is something in it, ,"
With this Mr.. Lincoln left the room. This form
of his approval Of the scheme was enough for
Mr.. Stanton. Orders were given that very at
ternoon for the construction Of the Monitor.
1t was completed none too soon. for it arrived
off Fortress Monroe upon the very day when the
Merrimac had started out on it's career of de-
struction of the Northern cities. The part played
by John Winslow and John Ericsson in putting
down the war of the rebellion is equal to that of
the great generals of that time.

FORETELLING THE WEATHER.
How An Old President of Brooklyn Reads
the Signs of the Air.

Brooklyn Union.
The sky almost dark last night about
O'Clock, although stars could be SEEN Looking
down Fulton street, black horizon in the west,
black as ink, and of that character which the
country good wife is apt to describe as 'as heavy
as lead" appeared above the house-tops. Man
ager Edwin Knowles. of the GranG Opera house,
who had been talking with a Union reporter
asked if the inky color of the sky in the west SO
soon after the sinking OF the sun meant rain
The answer, for obvious reasons, was rather
equivocal An old man, with bent shoulders
ami uncertain step, also gazed at the sky just
then.
'"Fhere's sign of a storm not far of, but
we'll have cool and then murky spell before
it comes" said the old man. Il amt much now

be sure that the signs of one day foretell
the weather of the next. When distant objects
stand out very clear in the atmosphere a storm
is near When heavy white clouds are seen
after shower, we'll have plenty of snow next
winter. If there isn't any clouds in the sky, it
may mean more of storm than if the clouds
are plentiful. When the stars are numerous
and bright, that's sign of bad weather before

bird will look for something to eat, rain or no
rain. If male cat stays in the house of his own
accord at night look out for n storm in less than
twenty four hours. If she cat washes her face
before breakfast it's sign of rain. The aver
age dog will come in under shelter six hours be-
fore rain no matter how clear the sky is. If tho
panes Of glass in your windows are cool when
the weather is warm, rain is near No matter
how warm you may be in the city on a summers
day, if you can breathe freely the weather will
continue clear; if you feel as if you needed air,
or as if choking, you can be sure of rain in
short while I've watched all these signs for
years, and they're true"

Cor Kansas City Live Stock Indicator.
WICHITA, April 9.-The immigra-
ton TO southern Kansas is tremen-
dous. They are coming in droves, by
prairie schooner and railroad, from
near AID from far, with families and
grub baskets. dogs, farm implements
and mules. The Southern Kansas and
Santa Fe passenger trains leave Kan
sas CITY daily with scarcely standing
room in the coaches, while the tracks
are nearly blockaded with long trains
of freight cars containing horses,
wagons, household goods and farming
outfits. The Calebs and Joshuas sent
to spy out the prospect, have returned
with samples of corn and wheat, and
are now leadiag the children to the
promised land. Here and there, is
seen a solitar yprairie schooner, diiap-
idated and weather-worn, vending its
weary way eastward with the touch
ing legend Busted" scrawled on its
canvas cover.
At Wichita The Indicator missiona-
~ had treat in viewing Stewart Il
