Knows How IL is Himself.

Grover Cleveland himself once came
to Washington after an Office, says
Gen. Wisewell. who was an old friend
of Cleveland's father. 1t was at the
time he had finished his schooling, and
he had letters to Gen. Wisewell. who
was in office here at the time. He
failed. Had he succeeded he would
probably be holding clerkship to day.
1t was the same with Salmon P. Chase.
who came to Washington as a youth
and tried to start private school here.
He failed, and applied to his uncle,
Dudley Chase, who was then in the
senate, for place. His uncle refused.
saying: Salmon, l once got an ap-
pointment for a nephew in the treas
ury and it ruined him. am not going
to ruin you in the same way. l will
give you half-dOllar to buy spade or
an ak for you to 60 out and cut or dig
for living, but will never help you
to a place under the government. :"
And then. as he noticed his nephew's s
face color, and as young Chase arose
and Indignantly refused the half-dollar,
he continued: "You think me harsh,
my boy, but the time will come when
you will see that l am right"
The time did come. Salmon P.
Chase went off to Ohio, made a great
reputation, and coming back to WASH
ington rose to higher position than
his uncle had ever held. becoming SEN
ator. secretary of the treasury, and
finally chief justice of the United States.

A SuspiclOus Act.

Early last evening Officer Bass arrested &
colored fellow named John Smith on a war.
rant charging him with disorderly conduct
BE is wanted for participating in fight some
time ago at the West End. As the officer
and his prisoner reached Primrose alley on
Hugh street, two gentlemen named George
P,att and Charles Clark noticed tina,
Smith had silver watch in his left
hand. which be was evidently trying to gel
rid OF uunoticed hy the officer. They de-
terminedito follow the two 10 the Station
house, and kept close behind them, although
not close to excite suspicion on the part OF
the prisoner. As officer Bass and Smith
crossed Spring street at the corner OF High,
the latter dropped the watch in the middle Of
the street. Messrs. Clark and Platt saw this,
and the latter picked UP the timepiece,
and went on TO the station house, where il
was turned ever to Captain Billy Wood. The
watch was evidently stolen, and the police
think that Smith suatched it out of some
persons pocket in the crowds on Market
Sousre. The watch is a silver one and of
GOOD make. When tie owner appears for it,
the matter will be investigated. The officers
state that Smith has already served one term
in the penitentiary.

Chased by Wolves.

The following narrative. related by
an old merchant named Nicolai, is
the story of his own fearful ride on the
first day of long journey to Moscow
with his wife. After description OF
the inevitable preliminaries-the first
yelp. the louder answering hOwls, and
the appearance of the murderous pack
in full pursuit, his sudden arming, re-
signing the reins to his wife-he goes
on:
The terrified horses were now in q
mad gallop, their hard painting ming
ling with the quick breathing of the
wolves, now so near that could dis
tinctly hear it. waited till the fore
most of them were within few yards,
and then fired. The leader of t g pack
rolled over upon the snow.
Again l discharged my weapon, and
another wolf fell. immediately the rest
of the pack fell upon their slaughtered
comrades, and tore them to pieces and
devoured them. This gained US a
minute or two of time, but on they
came again.
Again and again fired and killed,
and again, after brief delay, the
wolves overlook us as before. In this
way | discharged all the barrels of my
two revolvers. At the last shot my
wife cried:

The Electrical Age.

The possible applications of the prin-
ciple of the electrical transmission of
power, writes contributor to the Van
Nostrand's Magazine. are almost num-
berless. We shall. l believe, at no
distant date. have great central sta
tions, possibly situated at the bottom
of coal pits, where enormous steam en-
gines will drive many electric ma
chimes. We shall have wires laid along
every street. the electricity tapped in
to every house. and the quantity Of
electricity used in every house regis
tered as gas is at present. The storage
battery will fill a place corresponding
to the gasometer in the gas system.
making the current steady, rendering
the consumer independent of the irreg-
ular action or stoppages of the dynam-
os of the central station. and enabling
the use of dynamos of the highest ten
sion-i. e., those which produce cur
rents of the greatest intensity. The
electricity will be passed through little
electric machines to drive machinery.
to produce ventilation, to replace
stoves, and to work all sorts of appa-
ratus, as well as to give everybody an
electric light. Solar heat will be used
to run the dynamos in the cloudless re-
gions. Everywhere the power of the
tides and such waterfalls as Niagara
are to be utilized. Is not millennium
to be anticipated when the WATERPROOF
er of country shall be available at
every door?
Steam. which in the last century has
conferred so many benefits on the
world, will give way before electricity.
The dynamo will replace the steam
engine. This prediction seems wild
and visionary, yet when steam was first
thought of as an available force its ad-
yocates were considered, Just as the
advocates of dynamical electricity to-
day are considered, mere enthusiasts.
But public opinion never stops the
march of intellect. After it had proved
the powers of steam to be enormous.
genius never halted, but straightway
went on anticipating still more wonder
full discoveries in the realm of electric
ity.
The prophetic kin of science was
happily exhibited by DIR. Lardner in
his treatise on the steam engine.
PHILOSOPHY" said he. half century
ago, already directs her fingers at
sources of inexhaustible power in the
phenomena of electricity and magnet
ism. and many causes combine to
Justify the expectation that We are on
the eve of mechanical discoveries still
greater than any which have yet ap-
peared. and that the steam engine it.
self. with the gigantic powers confer
red upon it by the immortal Watt, will
dwindle into insignificance in compari-
son with the hidden powers of nature
still to. be revealed; and the day will
come when that machine which is now
extending the blessings of civilization
to the most remote skirts of the globe
will cease to have existence, except in
the page of history"
To-day we are beginning to appre-
ciate the truth of this prophecy. To-
day we see dynamical electricity in the
forefront of the physical sciences. The
principle of the transmission of power
by electricity fast approaches its reali-
zation. We are, in truth. just entering
upon wonderful age.

About Cunnin gh am.

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 29.-The Post-Dispatch
printed an article this morning, based on
a statement by person, whom it calls
well known local dynamiter, to the effect
that Cunningham, now under arrest IN
London in connection with the recent ex-
plosion at the tower, is the same young
fellow who, two years ago, lived here and
was written up at the time as an explo-
sive and Internal machine maker, and full
of scheme to blow up all the public
buildings in London at a given signal.
He was known there as Michael j.
Byrne. He was a harness maker by
trade, but diverted his spare time and
money to experimenting in explosives
and making internal machines. He also
lived in Chicago where he was known as
James Gilbert, and in Philadelphia,
where he went by the name of James
Cunningham. He claimed to have been
obliged to leave Ireland because he was
implicated in the murder of landlord,
but this story was not mnch relied upon
by his friends. He was in Denver last
August, but since then he has not been
heard from.
