y laughable incident occurred the
other evening at a South Side ear. A
nice, modest looking girl took her seat
near the front door of the ear next to
"a well, dressed, middle>aged gentleman
She laid her dainty lace handkerchief
in her lap to adjust her hat just as the
ear door was opened and gust of wind
sent the delicate lace 'kerchief into the
lap of her neighbor. she hesitated
about reaching for it, when the gentle
man, CHANGING downward beheld some
thing white, and. being "A little near,
sighted, at once jumped to the conclu-
sion that he had met with disaster
and lost button, and his shirt needed
attention. He swiftly Tapped his
overcoat across his lap with his left, and
with his right hand tucked the Offend
ing linen out of sight in n jiffy. Sew
eral persons who noticed the act were
convulsed with laughter, and the gen.
tleman, not dreaming of the real cause,
soon after left the ear. II any South
Side wife has this week found any
dainty lace handkerchief about her
husbands clothes, she need not be
jealous-it was only ease of mistaken
identity.-EX

DEPPENS CLOTHING HOUSE,
COR FOURTH AND MARKET STREETS, LOUISVILLE.
Tho AtuoOr.


Atmoor is the name the Arabs give
to the utterly barren kind of desert
This is truly the ideal desert, consisting
mainly of hard gravel plains diversified
by zones of deep sand, rocky ridges,
sometimes of considerable altitude, and
rugged defiles.
Ii is absolutely destitute of all vege|
tation, and consequently of animal life.
Only the ostrich and hyena cross it
swiftly by night, and the vultures how
er over the caravans by day. Not "A
tree, not bush, not blade of grass
relieves the glare of the sunlight upon
the yellow sand.
No one can resist the solemn im>
preston of deep silence and infinite
space produced by the desert. When
night has come, and the soldiers and
Bedouins are asleep in the bivouacs,
walk away under the unequaled AT
rican moon beyond the first ridge of
sand or rocks. Around you stretches u
boundless sea-like horizon. The sand
CLEANS almost as white as snow. Not
sound falls upon the ear, not the muir
muir of a breeze, not the rustic of IA leaf
of grass, not the hum of the smallest
insect. Tilence-only silence-as pros
found as death, unless it is broken by
the howl of IA providing hyena or the
distant roar of the king of beasts.
Within the limits Of Egypt and the
Soudan these desolate atmOors extend
over three>quarters of million of
square miles, never trOdden by the foot
of man. Only few caravan trails
cross them in their narrowest parts,
with scanly wells at long intervals;
and the Necessities of trade can alone
account for their being penetrated ut
all. They are like oceans, where cara
vans pass each other in haste, like ves-
sells at sea.
The marches are perfectly terrible,
and yet il is worse to halt during the
day than to keep IN motion, for the
heat makes sleep or rest impossible,
even under canvas With the burning
sand under your fee; aud the vertical
sun over your head, you are AS between
the lids of an oven. In summer the
thermometer rises to one hundred and
fifty and ore hundred and sixty de,
grees.

A Real Irun Hand :.

A reporter of the san Francisco
Chronicle while passing through San
Francisco street the other day observed
II man pounding away on a nail with
his hand. Ii was in Il blacksmith's
shop which opened on the street. The
nail seemed To penetrate further and
further into the wood, and the man did
not appear to feel As if the striking of
his hand against the nail hurt him at
all. Approaching nearer, the reporter
saw that the hand was made of iron.
The steel-fisted man said that while
participating in IA rourth of July cele-
bration in Maresvile in 1864 he lost his
right arm at the elbow 10y the prema-
ture explosion of cannon. Being IA
blacksmith and key-fitter, the loss COM
PEELED him tn abandon his trade. For
five years he wandered about the coun-
try, doing one thing or another. One
day, while i'm blacksmith's shop in
Vallejo, the idea entered his head to
fabricate an artificial hand out of iron.
He gave his directions and had the
contrivance he now wears manulac-
tured. Ii consists of IA steel cylinder
about four or five inches long. To this
is affixed leather apparatus, which
enables him to adjust the artificial
hand on the stump of his arm. The
stump fits into the apparatus and is
carefully strapped. The hand may then
Ice used IA "A hammer, and The dents in
the steel show how much it has been
so applied. The deficiency of fingers
to grasp file is supplied in the follow
ing manner: A long hole projects into
the base of the cylinder, into which "A
file or knife may be screwed. This is
properly frightened, and the loss of fin
gers is not felt. If the iron-handed
man desires To pick up anything he adj
justs IA peculiar hook or All instrument
resembling IA chisel, and he can bring
to his reach anything he may require.
Besides the heavy hand, which he gen.
orally Uses for hard work, he has more
delicate apparatus of brass, manufac-
tured 10y himself, for easy work. He
says that he has worn the steel hand
for sixteen years, and he has grown to
regard il with great affection. He
scarcely feels the loss of his natural
hand. AS he hammers, or files AT saws
behind his little glass window on Du-
pont Street, the passers-by gaze Curl
ously.

Sleep.

Men who are the fastest asleep " he n
they are asleep, are the widest awake
when they are awake. Great workers
must be great Rosters. Every man who
has clerks in his employ ought to know
what their sleeping habits are. The
young man who is up till 2, 3 and
o'clock in the morning. aud must put
in his appearance at the bank OF store
at 3 or 10 O'Clock and work all the day,
cannot repeat this process many days
without certain sbakiness eumirg
into his system, which he will endeavor
to steady by some delusive stimuIant.
II is in this way that many "a young
man begins his course To- ruin. He
need not necessarily have been in bad
company. He las lot his sleep, and
lOseing sleep is loseing strength aud
grace.

Prince Of Bulgaria. with winch state
Eastern RoumeIta Has Beeu
United by a. Recent
Revolution.

Great events are taking place III Eu-
rope, and greater ones are in prospect.
A few weeks ago the people of Eastern
Roumelia suddenly changed their gov
eminent and united themselves with
Bulgaria. In so doing the Treaty of
Rerlin, 1878, was violated, but Russia
backs the Roumelians in what they
did, while Servia, jealous of Bulgarian
growth, is preparing to check it 10y
force of arms, il necessary. Both Rou-
melia and Bulgaria were constituted
tributary states of the Ottoman Emu
pire under conditions which have been
violated by the revolution accomplish
Ell in Roumelia, the object Of which
was to present a stronger front against
Turkey, the superior power, and gain a
larger degree of self government. Eu-
ropean powers are to have meeting
in Constantinople in the hope of set>
Ting the trouble which has arisen
without war, but everybody feels that
this is not improbable and may easily
be brought about 10y only little more
friction than that already existing.
Our subject, Alexander |, Prince of
Bulgaria, has prepared himself t. profit
by the action of Eastern Roumelia in
declaring itselfto be part of the ter
rItory governed by him. He is at the
head Of a large force of Bulgarian cav
airy in Roumelian territory.
The Prince, though young in years,
is a soldier of experience, and IA mag
nifioent man physically. He was born
April 3, 1857, the son of Prince Alex
ander Louis George Frederic Emile, OF
Hesse. In 1870 he entered the Prus-
sian army, and in 1877 that of Russia.
He fought in the army of the CZar
against Turkey in the campaign OF
ls77-7S, and was very popular officer.
The treaty of Berlin was signed i'm 1873,
after the war had ended triumphantly
for Russia. Ii made Bulgaria State
tributary TO Turkey, but having con-
siderable independence, and Eastern
Roumelia also the same, but under less
favorable conditions in the direction oi
self-government. Now the Roume-
lians, by giving themselves to Bulga-
ria, evince tier want to have less "a
do in the way Of paying tribute and
honor TO "the unspeakahle Turk u
Alexander is the first Prince of Bulga,
ria under the new arrangement. He
was elected in April, 1879. HIS all
ministration has been successful, but he
is said TO spend money more Iavishly
than his people like. He has sunk u
great deal in building fine palace
His allowance from the treasury is
about a hundred and twenty thousand
dollars a year. Many people assert
that Alexander is an ambitious young
man, who was not surprised at the
revolution in Eastern Roumelia, be.
cause he had been the principal wire.
puller in bringing il about. This is
probably not true, however, if ac.
counts of him are trustworthy, he is
not possessed OF the brains and tact
necessary to direct "A successful revOlu'
tionary scheme.

George w. Childs, the firm friend of
Gen. Grant, has given to the world the
information that the General believed
Mr.. Tilden was elected in 1876. Mr..
and such a statement at this time from
him is remarkable, for it certainly will
not raise Grant in the eyes of the pres
ent generation or posterity, to hand the
story down to history coupled with the
name of the man who at that time was
in command of the armed forces of the
nation. The moral effect of AN honest
word from him at that time would have
been tremendous. 1t wonld have stayed
the rascally course of his dishonest party
colleagues, who We're bent on defraud-
ing the people. But it was not spoken,
and to know at this time that it was
purposely withheld will reflect no cred
it upon Grant. The highest duty of a
citizen is not that of being thorough
partisan. Mr.. Tilden eXemplified that
in his manly, honorable course when
he refused to countenance any and all
measures looking to his securing the
Presidency through other means than
those receiving the sanction of the peo>
pie.
a vast majority of the people knew
Mr.. Tildan was elected, and if Grant
knew and believed it, as his confidential
friend reports, he became "A party to the
fraud upon the people that had so nus
merously honored and befriended him.
Many OF the pens that have apotheo-
sized Grant the last few weeks will
want to revise their writings in the
light of Mr.. Childs' disclosures They
will want to write down that Grant
fell short of greatness when he refused
to east his influence for the right.
