THE SOUTH AMERICAN QUEEN.
A Yacht for the Richest woman on
 the Face of the Earth.

A Yacht for the Richest woman on the Face of the Earth.
 Valparaiso Letter in the Panama Star.l
 I notice an interesting paragraph in an English journal which informs us that a Leith firm has just completed handsome screw steam launch which has been built to the order of Mrs. Couseno, South Ameri- can lady, who is reported to be the richest woman in the world. The launch, which is built of steel, is twenty-five feet in length and is to be employed a tender to her large yacht. (The large yacht is engaged at present in the unpretending but profitable trade of carrying coals from Lota to Valpa- raiso.) It is elaborately fitted up in polished mahogany and is to be dispatched forthwith by one of the mail steamers from Liverpool for conveyance to Chili.
 Besides being the richest woman in the world she also enjoys the singular privilege of being Empress over tract Of territory called Lota, which lies some two or three hundred miles to the south of the port It may appear strange to speak of an Empress in the heart of a free republic, but neverthe- less the fact exists, and so absolute are Her Majesty's powers that there are few of her subjects who would be resolute and cour- ageous enough to claim the possession of their own immortal souls, or who would not be prepared to deny that on the making Of the place a special arrangement was made with reference to coal deposits between the divinity and the reigning monarch.
 During her absence the government is car ried on, much as it is in Ireland, by means of a viceroy, with this exception, that while the Irish are not unfrequently rebellious and troublesome and actually lay claim to the right of having 8 slight say in their desti- nies either in this world or in that which is to come, such a supernatural effort never en- ters the simple and accomplishing minds of the population of this remarkable portion of Gods footstool. And why should it be oth- erwise? The viceroy, or boss Pasha, and his court have been so long accustomed to lick ing and cleaning the boots of their sovereign mistress and passing along their own in re- turn to their subordinates, who perform similar but humber task and keep the ball rolling always downward, that it would be at once dangerous and unkindly action to per suade them that they are featherless bipeds and not dirt eating automatons.

1883 providing that county officers should be paid by salary instead of fees and should &C., count for and pay over to the county treas ury all fees received, under rigid penalties for failure, including removal from office and imprisonment. This law was declared un- constitutional by the Supreme court of the State in 1885 and the Lancaster county off, cers brought suit to recover the fees paid in the meantime in excess of what they had re- ceived for salaries. The case was tried with
 out jury and judgment was in their favor, not on tie simple ground that the law under which the fees were paid over to the county was unconstitutional, which apparently would not have been sufficient, but on the ground that payment was made under a mistake of fact and under duress, the mistake of fact being the assumption that the law was con- stitutional and the duress consisting of the penalties provided for failure to pay. This is said to be the only decision of it's kind.

 For some time a private post has been in operation in Berlin. It has been started, in opposition to the imperial post, for the col lection and delivery of letters, postal cards and printed matter. The reason assigned for it's existence is that complaints are made by the tradespeople that su hcient considera- ton is not shown by the State department. The difference between the ordinary postal rates and those of the private adventurers is very considerable and so far the Berlin Pack ct company, which is carrying on this ser vice, has had decided success. The postal authorities have not yet moved in the matters
 An invention which, it is claimed by gas engineers, will revolutionize the present sys- tenn of gas lighting has just been perfected by Dr. Auer in the chemical laboratory of the Vienna university. Briefly described, the invention may be said to consist in rem dering cotton wick incombustible by inn pregnating it with metallic liquid. Thus treated, the wick, instead of burning, mere ly glows, emitting radiance not unlike that of the electric light The whole process is very simple and the great advantage of the invention is that it may be applied to any gas burner.
 MT. George Blair, for many years promi- la.. Al -. come to the conclusion that the formation of distinct labor party in politics is not advis- able and that the laborers will get more from the old political parties. "I do not expect in my day." he says, ''to see workingman's independent political organization, for when you come to the bottom facts we are all workingmen in this country, with very few exceptions, and that workingmen have been ignored by both parties is their own fault" There is good deal more truth than poetry in this.
 The editor of the News takes it upon him. self to criticise the verdict of the jury in the boycotters' case, and says it can't be right because they were found guilty on all the counts of the information, and adds that there was absolutely no evidence to sus1aiu the count for extortion. This is the opinion of the editor who did not try the case as against that of twelve men who did. This, from "the Boycotters' Own," is good. If there was no evidence of extortion in the case of the JOURNAL AND COURIER there was plenty of it in the case of the News itself. It is true that is different case, as the News has not yet seen fit to prosecute, but is en- gagged in magnanimously defending. The News is delighted with Judge Stoddard's charge, which, without waiting for the de- l eision of the Supreme court, it confirms as | sound law. If the opinion of the News is worth as much upon the law as it is upon the evidence Judge stoddard ought to feel much encouraged.

A very little girl, whose father is a minister,
had been sorely tempted to play at the water
pail, which stood upon low bench within
her reach. 1t was thought best not to re.
move it, but to make it tree of the know
ledge of good and evil" More than once her
chubby fingers had been snapped" by way
of correction. AT two years old she went
with grandma to church, where her deport-
ment was very serious. On returning some
one said, "Well. you have been to church p

The Lawyers PRAYER.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.

st. Paul Pioneer Press.
A ST. Paul clergyman relates the following
incident. Sometime ago, as the story runs,
w. w Erwin, the criminal lawyer, pressed
for little change, dropped into the office of
d. W. lngersoll and asked for the loan of
So. Mr.. lngersoll declined to make the ad
vance, but suggested that, instead, if Mr..
Erwin would go into the basement with him
he would pray for him. Mr.. Erwin consent
ed, and the two went into the depths, where,
on Bonded knees, Mr.. lngersol prayed long
and well for his brother man. When he had
concluded, Erwin said: "Now I'll pray"
MIR. Erwin's prayer was a peculiar one. 1t
was delivered at the top ofhis voice, and con-
sisted of an exhortation TO the Lord to direct
lngersoll how to dispose of his vast wealth
wisely. AS he warmed up the pitch of his
voice raised materially, and Mr. Ingersoll grew
nervous, and urged him not to pray so loud,
as it would bring those upstairs down. 1t
was ofno avail. The exhortations grew more
fervent, and finally became bowls. Then
lngersoll, with despairing exclamation,
sprang to his feet and said: "Stop praying,
Erwin; here's your S." The devotions end
ed at once.

Mrs. Snaggs, looking up from reading that

"How so, my dear 7" asked her husband.
"Why he says there are no perfect men,"
"And you think you found one when you
married me, suppose" beamed Mr.. Snaggs.
"Indeed l don't" was the quick reply
"But know there was perfect man once,
and his name was Mark"
MARK" repeated Mr. Snaggs in astonish-
ment.
"Yes, Mark, for the Bible distinctly speaks
of Mark, the perfect man."
