High Living In the United States,
Philadelphia Call.


We venture that in no country in the
world do the people average so high in
the cost of living. 1t proves that our av.
erage population lives well. And this is
an important fact. Good living promotes
health, and is q sign of intelligence.
Were our people so poverty stricken as
to be compelled to live poorly, the effect
on the nation would be bad. Whether
we advance in the better elements of
civilization or retrograde depends on our
living. It is also test of our earnings.
This nation has been steadily liquidat-
ing debt since 1865. Yet ithas lived, in
GLIDING luxuries, not less than $4,000
10000, and has put down in business
and trading plants at leastas much more;

1t means an earning capacity of $500 .
year for every man, woman and child in
the country. Suppose that but 10000, 900
of these are producers, it rates each SC
tive worker Is producing $1,000 year
of actual wealth.

Del0s.
THE Quarterly Review J

Another primitive seat of oracular
inspiration was the sacred island Of De-
los. In legendary times it had been
consulted by many heroes, such as Aga
memnon, Ulysses, and Eneas. History,
however, records little of its prophetic
influence, and we are obliged to accept
the conclusion that Delphi had early
supplanted it. Nevertheless. an odor
of sanctity, the traditions Of very an
cient civilization, and most favorable
position, as
"ChiefisIe OF the endowed Cyclades'
had combined to render Delos always a
place Of Importance. After the Persian
wars it had been for some time the
treasure-house of the Confederacy OF
States over which Athens presided.
The delegates had continued to meet
there till the supremacy and overruling
Of Athens made their meeting nuga-
tory. The treasures Of the Confede-
racy were removed To the Parthenon /;
but Athens still kept her hold on the
island and never ceased TO pay it the
respect it deserved in religious matters.
To the annual and subsequently quin-
quennial festival the Athenians dis
patched q ship with sacred ENJOYS and
offerings. The voyage occupied about
q month, and we can see with what
feelings it was regarded in Athens from
the fact that no person who had been
condemned to death could be executed
during the absence of the sacred ship
on its time-honored and solemn voy-
age. 1t is impossible to forget how
it was by this circumstance that the
death of Socrates was delayed. But
there was another religious ceremony
in Delos, with which the Athenians
were associated on two occasions.
In obedience to an oracle-whethsz
issaing from Delos or elsewhere is not

all the graves lying within sight Of the
temple Of Apollo, and to remove the
remains to another part Of the island,

FREIGHTCAR COUPLER.
The Invention of a Richmond Man-How IL
Marks.


Works.
To-day the master car-builders and
superintendents Of railroads of the
United States will assemble in conven-
tion at Old Point, and on Wednesday
the subject Of automatic car-couplers
for freight-cars will be taken up.
Among the couplers to be ex-
hibited is that recently invented and
patented by Mr.. II. c. McGruder,
Of this city. Mr.. MeGruder was
allowed in his patent every claim
he made, and his invention seems very
simple and complete. Attached to a
wedge-shaped draw-head, behind which
is spring, are two arrows, one on
either side. The means of attachment
is bolt, which runs through the necks
or shafts OF the arrows, and through the
draw-head. This bolt has a spring at
tachment which keeps the arrow-heads
in place, but allows them an outward
play or spread---the bulge in the draw
head answering in measure to pivot
and also permits the arrows to be raised
on the hinge principle by the use Of a
lever worked from the ground or from
the top Of the car when it is desired to
uncouple. The arrow-beads cannot
drop when in horizontal position,
because the end Of the necks are
under the car, which offers bar to that
motion. The coupler is placed to the
right OF the centre Of the car so as to
admit ofthe entrance Of one arrowhead
between the two opposite arrow-heads.
This gives double lock, with plenty Of
play for curves and an equal shock on
the draw-heads of both cars. The diff
ference between the height Of cars is
overcome by the depth of the arrow
heads. II is claimed that this coupler
viii work as well on curve as on a
straight track. se

Especial telegram 10 the Dispatch.l
TRENTON, n. j., June S.-Anothcr
defeat was sustained by the Trentons
at the hands of the Virginias this after
noon. 1t was the closest game of the
series. Kimber pitched for the Vir-
ginias on account Of the sickness Of
Pyle. Both batteries did good work,
although the Trentons again failed to
bat Kimber's balls. Corcoran Tailed
home-run in the fourth inning. Green
wood stole bases recklessly. The only
double play made was by the Trentons
in the sixth inning. Six of the visitors
struck out to three for the Trentons.
The hoodlums in the audience made it
unpleasant for the players and annoy
ed the audience. They were finally
quieted by the police. The Trentons
did not sanction it. Every visitor from
this city has beeen well treated in Rich
mond. Appended is the score:
