No Lakes South Of Pennsylvania.

1t is q remarkable geographical fact
that while all the groups of mountains
of the Atlantic slope, north of the Del.
aware breakwater, are literally sup
piled with pretty lakes, large and small,
increasing in size northward to the
chain of the great lakes, there is not a
lake, large Or small, in any of the
groups Of mountains south Of the Del
aware Breakwater down to where the
Appalachian chain melts away in the
northern hills of Alabama and Missis-
sippi. And these mountains Of Wayne
and Pike and the surrounding counties
full of lakes are small compared with
the grand Alleghenies and the Blue
Ridge range in Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, where not o lake is to be found.
Again, in the magnificent mountain
ranges of North Carolina, in which
there are thirty peaks higher than
Mount Washington, there is mot a lake.
Nor is there one, large or small, in the
extensive mountain systems of Western
Pennsylvania or of Kentucky or Ten
nessee. --H0neSdale Herald.

A FAMOUS TOWN..
Description Of the City of Nice and Its In

Description Of the City of Nice and Its In
habltapts.
Nice belonged to Italy till after the
dream of Italian unity was accom-
plished by the Franco Austrian wal,
when it was annexed to France in the
arrangement made by Louis Napoleon
with Victor Emmanuel. 1t was a good
stroke of policy on the part of the
French Emperor, who was able to make
a rectification of his frontier that rem
dered it more defensiblc, and though
the department coded, the Maritime
Alps, is a charming region, the loss to
italy is not so great as one might sup
pose. The present frontier at Venti-
miglia seems to be more defensible in
that the mountain chain at hat point
crowds down a little closer to the sea,
while the territory of Nice was a sort
of point or projection assailable from
the French side. The more sensible
Italians have long since ceased to
worry over the loss, and the party Of
Italy Redeemed is reduced to a mini
mum. Since the transfer Nice has
grown rapidly, having a stationary
population OF sixty thousand, which is
increased during the winter to n
hundred thousand by the influx of WIS.,
itors. The Italians still form a large
majority of the population. They oc-
cupy principally what is called the old
town, situated. like the ancient neigh.
borhoods of Marseilles, near the old
port. Here may still be seen Italian
life, batting some peculiarities of cos.
tune, almost as genuine as in most Of
the large towns Of Italy. But the people
are generally poor. They are, as at
Marseilles and in American cities, the
hewers of wood, the drawers of water,
the catchers of fish, and the musicians
whose skillful touch makes the presence
Of the hand-organ known and felt at all
hours of the day and night. The
French are, with some notable excep.
tons, the lords of the manor. They
W the shops, the branch houses from
Paris, the cafes, the bars, the manu-.
factories and the establishments which
deal in oil and wine. There are some
well-to-do Italians in all these lines oil
business, but they are few. The French
types, especially the round faces and
short round figures of the south Of
France, are those which one sees
oftcnest in the stores and in the streets.

At poor me, as | walk by

Spite of all his pride of birth.

OF that calculating glance
That he gave her.
Lady dear, he cares for naught
But the things which may be bought
With your pelf;
In his thoughts you have no part,
And his cold and sluggish heart
Beats for self.
Yet how glad I'd be and gay
II you'd treat me in the way
You treat him.
'Twould with Heaven Itself surround
me,
And the sad old world around ME
Would grow dim.
All, my lady, fair and sweet,
VIII you tell me when we meet
II it's true.
That your heart has grown 20 small,
There is no room there at all
For me too?

Quite a hug,
And | staid to see him cUurted,
For he is her fine, imported,

How a Promisihk hoy Restored Long
Lost Happiness to a suffering woman
She was a woman apparently fifty
years old, plainly dressed, and she sat
| in II doorway on Monroe avenue with
tears in her eyes and a mad look on
her face. BY and by a boy who was
hanging around there asked If she was

"Naw! The trouble is that I've got

to jump out OF my head for a week.
I've been here three times to have it
out, but I dasn't 60 upstairs to the
dentist"

She opened her mouth very wide, and
he peeked and peered and finally
placed his dirty finger on the identical
tooth.

"Yes."
"You don't want the dentist to pick

SAY he whispered, as he pulled a
cord from his pocket and made a slip
moose, ''lemme try at it. I'll pull as
soft as 'lasses, and if it hurts you can
catch hold OF the string"
1t took five minutes to coax her into
it. but at last the moose was slipped
over and drawn tight. She was on the
fourth stair-he on the second.
Now open your mouth as big as a
bucket, shet your eyes and think of
sweet cake" he said, rs all was ready.
She obeyed. Next moment he
jumped backwards off the stairs-there
was a yell-a gasp-a whoop, and he
held the tooth up and cried out:
"Here she is--behold the remains!'
She rose up, spat out the blood, cried
a little, and then suddenly rushed for
the boy and pinned him fast to the wall
and kissed him forty-seyen times on the
chin, twenty-four times on the point Of
the nose, and eighteen times on the
right ear. Then she forced a half dol
lar into his paw, grabbed the string and
the tooth and skipped out the doorway
with the joyful exclamation:
80! you dear, good, angelic boy! ]
haven't been so happy for twenty-seven
long years!''--Detrott Free Press.

THE DYNAMITE CRAZE.
A Fearful Explosion In New York City
Intrnsc Excitement.

N.w YORK Feb 1.
Three months ago Gary Bros, dry goods
dealers, 303 Grand street. discharged their
floor walker. He was n member of the
Equality Association, protective organizs-
tion, and the society began TO urge that the
man be taken back. When the firm refused
to take him back some other employees went
on a strike. A few of them returned, but the
majority remained away.
The firm received threatening letters. hut
paid no attention TO them. This morning six
or eight men were seen lettering around the
place and the police drove them away.
little after two o'clock terrible explo-
sion shook the street. Dynamite had been
put under the windows of Garry Bros store,
and the windows were shattered. the castings
and woodwork blown away, and the front of
the place generally disturbed.
The shock also broke the windows on the
Allen street side of Ridley's dry goods store,
and the damage to this firm " i'll be nearly as
great as to Garry Bros. There was tremend-
Gus excitement all over the neighhorhood.
A number of people were in tho vicinity
at the time of the explosion, but none were
injured.
Four men were found by the police in the
shadow of the Rivingtun street station of the
elevated road. Charles Henry, a laborer, was
discovered to be severely hurt about the head
and face, and others. viii Britton, a waiter,

LEAGUE OF THE THREE.
Cleveland, Hendricks and Carlisle Hold
a Conference in Albany.
Albany. n. Y Jan.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 81.
Speaker Carlisle and Mrs Carlisle left here
on the afternoon train for New York after
spending several hours at the residence of
President-elect Cleveland. Before the de-
psrture of Speaker Carlisle, Vice President
Hendricks came upon the scene and was met
by Bank Superintendent Paine. who drove
him at once to the Kenmore where rooms
had been prepared for him. Hendricks orig
inally intended to leave on the 2.40 train with
Carlisle, but he concluded to postpone bis
departure until evening. His presence created
a stir in political circles. Before leaving
Carlisle said he had passed a most pleasant
evening with Cleveland. 1t was the first
time he ever met him and he was forcibly
impressed by him. Cleveland struck him as
man of force, conviction and of strong
common sense. They talked of matters of
party policy generally and also talked of
men. Vice President-elect Hendricks was
accompanied from his hotel to the depot by
half dozen friends and left by the six o'clock
train for New York. While here it is ua-
derstood that the most important conference
was held between him and Cleveland and
Carlisle. 1t is impossible to ascertain what
vas said or determined upon, but it is
believed that the discussion was designed to
bring about a uniformity in the policy Of the
party. Hendricks was extremely reticent
and declined to say anything. 1t is under
stood to be his intention to proceed from
New York to Washington, thence to New
Orleans to take part in certain ceremonies at
the exposition
