The sham and the Real.

Every good thing has it's host If
imitators; every genuine article its
counterfeits. Bad manners and
wicked habits have theirs also; but
he who shams the bad never boasts
Of it, while they who ape the virtues
Of the good or simulate the genuine
never hesitate to place the counter
felt before the public in their most
alluring tones. When these people
initiate they always choose a pro-
nounced type or popular subject to
copy from; and when they claim to
be as good as "So-and SO" or to sell
an article equal to "So-and &c." the
public may depend upon it that Mr..
"So-and SO" and bis article are al
ways the best of the kind. Thus
the sham is always proving the genu-
inc merits Of the thing it copies.
a firm Of e%nterprising gentlemen
produce and popurlarize an article
Of household use, such as the Royal
Baking Powder, whose convenience,
usefulness, and real merit make for
itself an immense and universal sale.
Al hundred imitators arise on every
hand, and as they hold out their
sham articles to the public, yelp in
chorus, sBuy this; it's just as good
as Royal, and much cheaper!" The
Royal Baking Powder il the stand
ard the world over, and its imitators
in their cry that theirs is ''as good
as Royalp are all the time empha-
sizing this fact. In their laborious
attempts to show BY an.lysis and
otherwise that the ssSnowball' brand
has AZ much raising power "as the
Royal; or that the Resurrection
powder is a wholesome "as Royal
or that the "Eearthquake" brand is
"as pure as the Royal" as well ss
by their contortive twistings oil
chemical certificates and labored eff
forts to obtain recognition from the
Government chemists and promi-
ncnt scientists who have certified
the superiority of Royal over all
Others, they all admit the Royal
to be the acme Of perfection, which
it is their highest ambition to imi-
tate. hut the difference between
the real and these limitations, which
copy only it's general appearance.
is as wide as that between the paste
and the true diamond. The shams

They made a fourth attempt to cast a
J+ton IL inch rifle for the Chicago the other
day mt the South Boston iron works. The
difficulty with gun casting is the coolings
and the patent which Krupp has on this is
the basis Of his fame. However, the Bos-
ton %fOundriesa are courageous. They first
make n gun-pit of sand and clay thirty feet.
This takes the form of the gun to be cast.
The core, which is to make the bore, is
carefully fabricated and suspended in the
pit with mathematical nicely. Then at {
O'Clock of one day the fires are started I'M
der three furnaces filed with steel ingots,
each containing thirty-five tons. In about
twenty hours this is reduced to n molten
mass. Cutters are provided from each
furnace to the gun mold.
AT n given signal Zach furnace is tapped.
the white liquid runs into the gun pit; the
core stands tine shock, and in twenty-five
minutes the pit is full. The furnaces are
plugged and the mass of metal (fifty-fouI
tons in weight, is left to cool. This pro
cess takes four weeks; then, il no disturb
nee of the core has taken place, the lat
ter is bored out, the gun is lifted from its
bed and the work of finishing begins. 1t
takes six months to accomplish this. This
magnificent gun, when complete, will be
thirty feet long and weigh fifty four tons

soldiers on the opposite side of the river,

to draw her attention to the fact. She OBJ

THE president is finding great difficulty
to secure a successor to Assistant Secre-
tary jerks, Of the interior department,
This office pays only 1000 a year. The
duties are very %arduous, and demand the
attention of a first class lawyer, as all the
judicial matters are referred To the assist
ant secretary. Such a lawyer would re-
ceive 500. 900 in fees for the business
that the assistant secretary is required to
transact every year. The president found
II similar difficulty ia securing 4 man for
controller of the currency, because the
salary was so small. The resignation of
Mr.. jerks had more significance than was
originally given to it. His daughter has
been for some time engaged to marry
young Mr.. Du Bots. the nephew of the
late lumber king of Pennsylvania, who
has Just inherited ali of his uncle's prop.

The work of an attorney and a lobbyist
before congress is not considered dissimi-
lar by many people here, although there
is n difference. An d%ttorney-if lie IS a
legitimate one and confines himself to
Legitimate work-simply presents the le-
gal argument or common argument in his
cast to Il committee, rs he would to a jury.
There his work ends, and there the work
of the lobbyist begins. A lobbyist confines
his operations to Individual members. He
seldom il ever talks to more than one at a
time. By all manner of arguments and
responsiveness he induces the members Of
the committee or the whole house or sen
ate to support his bill.
The lobbyist does not work rs much at
the capitol, when he can be seen, ms he
does ut the rooms of the statesmen. Many,
however, importune the members or sena,
tors whenever they can. There are n nam
Der OF professional lobbyists here, but the
number is not so large as is generally sup
posed. There are probably not more than
nifty men or women here who make "A live.

The remarkably low death rate OF
Cheyenne, lower by far than that of al
most any city in this country, is source
of wonder to Eastern people. who often
inquire as to the causes which lead to this
degree of sanitary wholesomeness. One
great point in Cheyennc's favor is its To-
cation in an exceedingly healthy latitude.
Our winters are not very severe, and our
summer heats are tempered by the winds
which are never quiet upon our prairics.
The air is.pure and dry and natural drain
age is unexcelled. Although the range of
the thermometer during the year is con
siderable, We are not liable to those sudden
changes which occur so frequently in other
sections. Our winds, too, perform a most
valuable service in carrying away all ma
laria and seeds Of disease.
