ATTACHING the DRessED-BEEp
INDUSTRY.

The arbitrary action of the trunk rail-
road lines in advancing the rates for tmns-
porting dressed beef is wrong from every
point Of view. The new rates. which
are 80 or GO per cent. above the old ones,
were adopted for the purpose Of driving
the dressed-beei shippers out Of business,
in order that the shippers Of live cattle
and those who own cattle yards and

MI. Theodore X. Davis was for twenty
years employed by Harper Bros. as g
special artist and correspondent. He wac
in the south when the thunders Of ciyil
war were beginning to rumble. and he By
intuition gravitated toward Charleston ns
n place where trouble was likely to ensue.
Sure enough, Sumpter was fired upon the
day after he reached there. He went.
about taking sketches and writing letters.
His work all had to be done ON the sly, for
strangers were looked upon with suspic-
ion. lie never left the south from that
time till the surrender of Johnston, Ho
accompanied the Union forces from place
TO place.
His connection with Harpcr's Weekly
and his ga.st personal popularity gained
him passes through all the lines, and he
came and went rs he pleased. He paid
mes5 bills in three different armies, and n
place WINS always reserved for him no
matter where he happened to be. He
never received an order or suggestion
from the Harpers during all hat time.
He used his W Judgment with regard to
the place OF his work and the sketches he
made. lie drew sketches OF every thing
that came in his way, and did his work
where and when he could-now on the
march, now in the camp, now on the bat
tlefeld itself. When the army with
which he happened TO be Ind finished n
campaign he would leave Immediately for
another and more active force, and the
first intimation his paper would receive OF
his change OF base would be n batch of
sketches from n different locality.
He says that, MS a rule, the treatment OF
newspaper correspondents by army Off
GERS was extremely courteous, and that
every advantage was furnished them. No
censorship of copy was established, and
correspondents were allowed all the lib
crty designated by their passes. OF
course, there were some of them who
abused the confidence and hospitality of
the officers, and even worse than that,
and such men found 1t very difficult to
get along, but, rs a rule, correspondents
and war officials were on the best OF
terms.-Chicago News ~Rambler."

\ japanese when he desires to be tat
.oOed goes TO an artist with the design no
wishes 10 have indelibly initiated on hic
body. Tho artist sketches the design moro
or less in full detail, as the circumstance
OF the case may require, on the skin OF hi5
patron. Then, taking a wooden tool IL
which fine sewing tools are firmly fixed,
the artist applies India ink or n red color
made from cinnnbar to the points Of tho
needles. holds the tool in the right hand,
which rests on the Thumb Of the left hand,
and proceeds to puncture the skin with
marvellous rnpidity; pausing at intervals
to take on the needles n fresh supply OF
color. No blood is drawn except some
times when a deep shade is requisite, or
when going over the elbows and knees.
In a day a skillful operator car complete
a picture requiring n few hundred thou
a punctures in n manner surprising
for its occuracy and varied and delicate
degree OF shading.
When the work Is finished the skin Is
bathed with warm water, which gives q
slight pain to the patient, but brings out
the colors with great distinctness. The
only inconvenience experienced is q slight
feverish feeling, which soon goes away.
The tattoed parts are never irritable or
sensitive, and there need be no cessation
from usual work. At the end Of three
days the skin peels OF like bran from the
punctured surface, leaving the portions
blue that have been treated with Indian
ink, and those red That have been touched

As the testing OF the bayonets proceeds
at Aldershot the results only more con-
clusively show how urgent 1t was that
they should undergo the scrutiny through
which they ave been put. One day tho
examiners tested about COO bayonets of
the First battalion Lancaster regiment,
when 223 were found to be totally unfit
for service, many breaking, and the rest
bending nearly double and remaining so.
Next day those Of the Seaforth Highland
crs were tested with the result that OF 100
examined i6s were soft and defective.

affairs has provoked much discussion,
and all express themselves very disguised

Professor Langley seems TO have com
pletely upset the long-cherished idea that
the temperature OF the moons surface
rises to 300 degrees or 200 degrees Fahren-

says while we have found abundant
evidence Of heat from the moon, every
effort we have tried. or that has been
tried by others, for determining the char

elusive, and, without questioning that the
moon radiates heat %earthward from its

certainty between this and the reflected

HE PULLED HENRY cLAv,s NOSE.


The story of a Half-Dollar
Mr. Thomas Harvey is the name OF a
colored gentleman who maintains n ton
sorial bazaar in close proximity to the
Union depot. There are few old Balti-
moreans who do not know him, for the
music Of his good broad-sword razor has
been heard In our leading hotels since the
days Of Andy Jackson.
Eyes, sir. that Is a monstus fine picture
OF Mr.. Clay he said pointing to n very
old chrome OF the great Kentucky com
moner inclosed a small frame and sus-
pended on the wall Of his shop.
Il ought TO know continued Harvey,
with a proud smile. Il shaved Mr.. Clay
the last time he was in Baltimore, and n
barber who shnves n great man like him
is not apt TO forget how he looks. Yes.
sir, it's the best picture l ever saw.
I'M tell you how il was he went on.
at was In January, 1850, when Mr.. Clay
made hts last visit TO Baltimore. was n
young man then and was working In the
barber-shop under the old Fountain hotel,
now the Carrollton. The boss he comes
20 me aud he says. says he; Charlie, you
go up TO Professor Smiths house on Sara
toga street and shave n man; and you do
n good job, because it's Mr.. Henry Clay
SO l took my best tools and went TO Pro
fessor Smiths. Henry Clay always
stopped at Professor Smiths house when
he came to Baltimore. He wa then In
the second-story front room waiting for
the barber. When / got to the door Mr..
Clay was a-readin' n paper and he looked
up and said: Come in here, you black
scoundrel, and get to work ON dis ere
face But he was mighty pleasant, and
that was only his way OF talking, and I
tell you | made n good job OF 1t, for ! vas
proud TO shave Mr.. Clay. There was a
three days growth OF beard, but II WINS
not thick. Mr.. Clay's beard was hin. He
had one OF tho biggest facesI ever shaved,
and his upper lip was monstus large.
when | was a-shavin' that lip | had for
to cotch hold OF his nose. Mr.. Clay
laughed and said: Look here. you Niger,
dars mighty few men / would allow for
TO pull my nose in dat way When | got
through Mr.. Clay ask me what he owed
me. Not a cent, said l; for the honor Of
shaving Mr.. Henry Clay is enough pay
for me Obi take this half-dollar, he
said, handing me a silver 50-cent piece.
But / refused again, when Mr.. Clay
laughed and said; Oh lit no honor 10
shave me; I'm only Clay after all; / was
made Of clay, and ! viii return to clay
just like other people But / refused to
take n cent and went away. When !
went back to the shop my boss said.
Where's de money fur dc shavei" And
when told him that | would not take
any pay he was pretty mad about
II. You ought to have brought
back at least a half-dollnr for shaving n
man like Clay he said. He said he would
take 20 cents out Of my pay, and l told
him I would be glad II he would, and he
did. Afterward he said he would charge
It to Prof. Allen Smith, but 1 insisted on
the 80 cents coming out Of my pay, and it
did."-Baltimore American.

benefited by every new railroad that may
