grams between Messrs. Hoxie and A. L,
Hopkins, which have been widely pub.
lished, and which indicated a willingness
to arhltrate tho differences, but the Gould
people refused finally 10 execute the
promises made In that direction. II was
believed by the representatives OF the
Knights Of Labor that arbitration had
been. fully agreed upon, up to the time
they went 10 st. Louis TO act upon the
supposed agreement. A second attempt
was made at arbitration after the Gpt
failed. This was subsequent to the with.
drawal on the Goth Of March Of the Order

29th.
The letter OF instructions from Mr..
Powderly TO the witness, inviting a half

read. II mentioned that Mr.. Cyrus W.

and that the writer had heard that Mr..
Hoxie had expressed himself strongly

that Mr.. Gould should relieve Mr.. Hoxie
Of the settlement Of the trouble. Witness

forth that Messrs. Gould and powderly
had agreed upon arbitration and suggest.

WISE WORDS.

When one becomes so conceited that
he can't he taught, he ana a fool wear
the same style of cap.
Nobody is perfect, but forbearance
aud love do much to soften the irritable,
hard edges Of existence.
Good fortune seldom comes pure and
single, unattended by some troublesome
or unexpected circumstance.
If all would realize that cruelty is as
bitter to Others as it is to themselves,
there would be less of it practiced.
Nothing is so great an instance of i'll
manners as fattery. If you Halter all
the company you please none. If You
tiatter only one or two, you aIfront the
rest.
No character can possibly embrace all
types of perfection, for the perfection of
a type depends not only upon the virtues
that constitute it, but upon the order
an prominence assigned TO them.
Prejudices are like the knots in the
glass of Our windows. They alter the
shape of everything that we choose to
look at through them; they make
straight things crooked and everyth ng
indistinct.
Sympathy produces harmony; 1t
smoothes off the rough edges of conflict
ing characters; it brings the cheeriness
of the hopeful to cha away the fears
of the desponding; it draws reinforce
ment for the weakness or the want of
some from the wealth or strength of
others.

ranged in fantastic Designs like mosaic
work. They always attract the atten-
tion Of strangers, and it is standing
joke to tell the tenderfoot that they are
the knuckle bones of human beings
killed during the many revolutions.
The ladies' of Uruguay are considered
to rank next to their sisters of Peru IN
beauty, and there is something about the
atmosphere which gives the r complexion
purity and clearncss that is not else
where found. But when they reach
maturity, like all Spanish ladies, they
lose their grace and symmetry of form,
and become very stout. This is un-
doubtedly owing in a great degree to
their lack of exercise, for they never
walk, but spend their entire lives in q
carriage or a rocking chair.
The policemen in Montevideo are de-
tailed from the army and carry sabers
instead of clubs, which they use with
telling effect upon offenders who resist
arrest. A few years ago there was no
safety for people who were out late at
night ether in the city or the country
robberies au1 murders were Of frequent
occurrence, and the prisons were empty.
But President Santos rules with an iron
hand. and after few highwaymcn and
murderers were hanged. there was no.

Now, when the mercury sinks out Of
sight and the water-pipes freeze up, there
is timely renewal Of the proposition tc
dam the Strait of Belle Isle, between
Newfoundland and Labrador, 50 as tc
defect the Arctic current which now
passes through, turning it eastward and
allowing the warm water of the Gull
Stream to flow northward close to the
shores. 1t is claimed that this warding
off of the frigid waters would give 6
mild and genial climate from Nova Scotia
to Cape Hatteras, like that of SpaiL
and Northern Italy in the same latitude.
This stringing of new isothermal linei
will be expensive, and the scheme is moi
likely to prosper. But it is better to dam
the Strait of Belle Isle than to imprecatt
the weather.

A company of Americans are to lay a
paper railway in Russia. The uses OF
paper are becoming amazingly extended,
and will be likely to do some queer tricks
with rhetoric as people now may think.
Perhaps it will not seem strange some
years hence to read iu newspaper of d
locomotive "6ercely fagellating the all,
enduring paper nails, and striking fire
and thunder from them at every mighty
bound" but it seems now as though it
would. Inevitably cannon balls will
come to be made of paper, and the New
Yorker of the future may learn with sor.
row and alarm of the demolition of Fort
Hamilton by the "heavy paper hail
poured upon it by hostile vessel lying
far out at sea.

The deepest emotion that mn knows
is love. If, like the air plants, its roots
are upward, and love works with moral
sentiment, it is divine, and is that at

itself known.
II is the great end toward which all
creation sis tending. The discovery OF
that thought has been of inconceivable
comfort to me, for have seen the human
race beginning at the loves state of an

animal creation organized for cruelty

structiveness was part and parcel Of the

seen little by tile emerging other
qualities; love Of cubs and whelpS: with
slow steps | have seen the animal creation
reach TO the level of the human family,
and that family under on mys ic in.

step; have seen the steady unfolding

law of unfolding at last seems this To

from the lowest form of unorganized

Cooking Under Difficulties.

Dan dc guile, describing Virginia
City in the Cincinnati ER9u5rer, mentions
some curious effects of the great clc7a.
tion of that town, which is some :, 200
feet above the level of the seq. lie says:
Our atmosphere is very light. In some
respects this is an advantage, while in
others it is the contrary. For instance,
water boils here at such low te,Gder-
ature that it is difficult tn cook many
arti les of food by boiling This is q
mystery that the uneducated cook from
places nearer the level OF the SEQ can
seldom be made to comprehend. Why
her peas remain as hord as bullets and
hcr beef like stick Of bass wood she
cannot understand; for, explain it as
you will, she is of the same opinion
still which is, that boiling water is as
hot in one place as another, all the way
from the highest peak of the Himalayas
10 the shores of the Dead Sea. Though
the cook cannot be made to understand
anything about atmospheric pressure,
she will presently learn that by means Of
close fitting pot lids she can confine the
steam which can be made as hot as tho
steam OF any other region.

Soaring the Cinnamon.

The engineer of an ocean steamship in
the course of conversation with New
York TribHae reporter said: II have on
book in the engine room curious
table of dates and figures, which shows
to me the exact time for every mile mtde
by different steamers which | have en-.
gmeered across the ocean for the last
fourteen years. If anything more than
usual occurs jot it down. opposite the
date, and so make sort of diary of it.
1t speaks vo,vmes to me, and recalls
many interesting memories. For in-
stance, was looking through it the
other day, and found opposite Novem-
ber 10, 1875, q reference to visit from
Cinnamon. The incident was recalled
to my mind in moment, and laughed
heartily over it to myself. This is what
it meant. One day while lying in port
we were visited by several Cinnamon
who were anxious to Inspect the ship.
Thev au ignorant set, and had
never seen any machinary worked by
steam. The captain was a good -natured
fellow and allowed them to come below,
although they experienced some doubts
as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of so doing. They
were very timid, and it took some time
for me to convince them that the ma
chnery was harmless. Finally | got
two of them to come close to the heavy
driving rod, which yol know on large
vessel is an enormous piece of iron. Sud-
denly, without warning, it gave a start
forward, and, accompanied by a loud
puff of steam, leaped fully ten feet above
our heads. Angry at my assistant for
letting on steam without my know edge,
l turned to speak to him when my atten,
ton was attracted toward the stairway.
The last two Cinnamon of the party were
making frantic endeavors to jump up
half dozen steps at a time The rest
had disappeared, and before could get
on deck the whole crowd had got into
their boat and started for the shore. No
amount of persuasion could ever get
them to return to that ship, VIII CHI they
claimed was alive. 1t was mean trick,
but it has afforded me good laugh
since"

NJ. de Lesseps, the great constructor
of canals, has been making some state
ments that agriculturists might think of
with profit. He says that one pound of
flour is worth three pounds of beef, He
asks why cereals are fed to cattle, hogs
and sheep. "Why not" he says, ''eat
the grain instead of feeding it to ami
malsG" He says that England is sup
porting $4,000, 900 cattle, sheep and
hogs upon cereals she herself raises, while
she imports -four from America to feed
her people.
