A Brief Sketch OF Ellis Island-A Brave
Ouartermaster--AD Dull Life.

OuartermaSCcr--A Dull Llles
Ellis island, or Fo:t Gibson, as it was
formerly called, is north of Bedloe's, island,
about GOO yards distant and close to the
Jersey shore, although included in the First
ward of New York city. The fort formerly
mounted twelve guns and was garrisoned by
q detachment Of United States troops until
some time during the "Iifties," when it was
formally transferred 20 the ordnance de-
partnent Of tue navy 10 be used as maya
zine
Until 1870, however, the army noninally
controlled tie fortifcation, which was
annually visited by i'm oIllcer connected
with the military service. In 1881 on order
was received directing the removal OF the
guns and the dismantling of the fort Since
then the island has been under the absolute
control of the chief of the bureau OF ord
nance, navy department, Washington.
During the war Of tae rebellion immense
quantities of powder were securely stored
upon the island, while the shell ROOMS were
literally packed with projectiles of every
description. There are ut present five conl-
partmenUs used for the manufacture OF
charges Of powder and. the storing Of she'll
and other projsctiles. Notwithstanding the
dangerous character OF the material, no in
stance has yet been reported OF an accident
by explosion since the island was used as
magazine. This is due to the extraordinary
precautions observed by the employees under
the direction of the officer in charge, who III
each instance has been selected from the
ranks of the gunners of the navy.
notwithstanding the care Observed in
handling smell several narrow escapes from
accident halo been reported. Upon one
occasion willie unloading some sixty pound
shells from sloop Quarterman Cook no.

containing the projcctiles. Hastily snatch

Cook, coolly climbing OH deck, threw the
smoking Shell into the river For this brave
action he was cump.imented in general
orders by the chief Of ordnance.
There AFRO at present but four watchmon

ESut E'osir Survivors.

On the six national tickets nom-
mated by the Democrats since the
war eleven names appear; one
name, that Of Hendricks, being on
two tickets.
OF these names, seven have been
erased from the roll by the hand OF
Death and four only are left.
In 1864, Mcclellan and Pendle-
ton were on the ticket. Mcclellan
is dead and Pendleton survives,
being now Minister to Germany.
In 1868, Seymour and Blair were
the nominees. Both are dead.
OF the ticket of 1872, Grcely and
Brown, there is no survivor.
Tilden survives the ticket Of
1876, but his colleague on the
ticket, Thomas A. Hendricks, has
joined the great majority.
Hancock and English were the
nominees in 1880. English still
lives, but Hancock has just been
consigned to a soldiers grave.
Grover Cleveland is the survivor
of the ticket Of 1891; his colleague,
Mr.. Hendricks, dying few months
ago.
Of the eleven, Tilden, Cleveland,
Pendleton and English are the only
survivors. OF the seven, FIVE died
since the election Of Grover Cleve-
land to tho Presidency.

The Two Ikrupps.

Of iron men named Krupp there
are two in Germany having A. for
their sole initial. Both originally
belonged to the same firm, and how
they became separated forms an
interesting story, which has just
been told in Paris, where Herr
Arthur Krupp recently arrived. In
1855 the Krupps, by being thus
together, took to casting guns at
their factory, and in 1863 made the
weapon which took the first prize
at the French exhibition of 1867.
Soon after this the firm proposed
to Marshal Mel and General Won
Moltke to cast for both Of their
governments, respectively, an offer
which was the cause of the retire
ment of Arthur Krupp, who
founded, thereupon, an iron foun-
dry at Berndorf, in Austria, and
left Alfred to conduct the works at
Essen. Arthur's foundry, outside
Of Europe, if often there, is not
heard of, but Alfrcd's gun business
is the wonder Of the world, as the
statistics will show that it ought to
be. The population OF the Essen
works is 1900, and the number of
boilers and engines is as follows:
400 boilers, 453 steam engines with
a horse power of 1S,50O; 81 steam
hammers, and 1856 furnaces, Of
which IA are high furnaces, pro-
ducing 100000 tons of steel and
10000 tons of iron yearly.

self in favor of the absolutism OF
Congress. Mr.. Morgan's references
to the Constitution gave Mr.. ingalls,
another opportunity to be sarcastic.
"The Constitution" said he, :" is
made for the people, and not the
Constitution. Government is a
thing of to-day and not of yester-
day. He said he had listened with
rapture to the disquisitions of the
political archaeologists who have
made subtle explorations into the
subterranean recesses of the Con-
stitution, and the inner conscious
ness of its founders. All this had
indescribable delight for those who
are inquiring what should be done
to-day. But the Senator from
Kansas thought it was like turning
from Pennsylvania avenue to the
buried streets of Iferculaeum and
Pompeii to ascertain what were the
opinions Of the politicians in Rome
in regard to the coinage of the
silver dollar and the reform of the
Civil Service.
In political circles the arraign-
ment of the Administrations pol
icy regarding official changes sub
mitted by Senator Edmunds is the
chief topic of comment. Some of
the Republican Senators show a
lukewarmness in following Mr.
Edmunds' lead. which may mill
tate against a very stubborn con-
troversy. The battle is to begin
about next Monday. Whether it
will be followed by a very bloody
war remains to be seen.
