an eye Miss Folsom and an array of heavy
boxes were on the deck of the revenue
cutter. There was valedictory screech
from the big steamers whistle, quickly
acknowledged by the cutter, and then the
latter, under full head of steam, slipped
away without word or sign, with lights
screened and in dead silence, to the wharf
at the Empire city.
TIL. Noordland belongs to the Red Star
line of steamers, and had sailed from
Antwerp several days before the depart
ure of the outward-bound "greyhounds"
from Liverpool, on some one of which
the bride-elect was confidently expected
to arrive. The passengers had been en-
joying good time, and an ocean jour
nalistic venture, the North Atlantic Spray,
has been privileged to receive contribu-
ton from Miss Folsom in the shape of
storiette. "Little Moll'' was the title
chosen, and the tale is described as being
both readable and vigorously written.
There may be another literary lady in the
White House yet, if indications fail not.
Miss Folsom is described as tall, hand
some, and in complexion light brunette,
with large blue eyes, shaded by long black
lashes. Her frank and winning manners
quickly won the regards of her fellow pas
sengers.
1t is an open secret that Col. Lamont
has been occupied for several days in New
York in the purchase of the presidents
outfit, and there is 10 doubt that the fur
niture purchased by the colonel is of
spleudid and costly description. The Sc
cret has been we'll kept all through, but
now, that the game is up and for the mat
ter of that finely played and won, the peo-
pie will at least be relieved of the exas-
perating restraint put on their patience
and curiosity.

ANOTHER STRIKE.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-The employees in the
planning and sash mills of this city struck to-day to
the number of ',0Oi with the exception of four
mills, the propretors of which have already con-
ceded the demands of the men. Every man em-
ployed in the planning or sash mill went out in the
strike. The men are upheld by the Protective
building trades council numbering 1h,U0C men.
According to the rules, unless their demands are
agreed to, no workmen will undertake to work
on the building from the cellar digger up to the

Bowen's Budget, Fort Plain, N. Y, for
March, 1886, says: In the multiplicity of
medicines placed upon the market, it is
sometimes difficult to distinguish between
the meritorious and the worthless. There
are at least two excellent remedies widely
used, the efficiency of which are unques-
toned. We refer to st. Jacobs Oil and Red
Star Cough Cure.

1t will be found good policy not to
continue any one pursuit until the boys
and girls are weary of it. Leave the
game or history lesson while they are
yet eager for more. An occasional
Shakespeare evening is very interesting
when each individual personates some
character. Hudson's expunged edition
should be used. Often the forming of
Chautauqua Circle in the ne1ghborhood
is the saving of both sexes. A little
mother found that her boy was outgrow-
ing her. She took up the Chautauqua
Course, interested him, and together
they formed the nucleus of Circle
which proved a blessing to the com
munity, besides enabling her to retain
her sons comradeship.
If the mother will daily spend ten
minutes in lookieg over the morning pa
per, or three-quarters of an hour on the
weekly, she will greatly enlarge her
mental horizon and make herself much
more companionable for both husband
and son. | look forward with hope to
the time when women shall have a per-
sonal responsibility and therefore inter
est in the government of our land. This
will be another link between mother and
son, because it will give them another
interest in common. So long as people
enjoy the same things and are mutually
interested in each other, so long will
they influence and control one another.
The boy who does not care for the
chnrch prayer meeting will go for his
mothers sake when she spent the pre-
cedlng evening making a pleasant time

A Veteran Locomotive.

One of the oldest locomotives now in ac-
tive service is the General of the West
ern and Atlantic Railroad This is the en-
CINE which was captured by twenty-five
Federal soldiers in disguise on April II,
1862. and with which they attempted to
escape from Big Shanty, up the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, and burn the
bridges on the line between that point and
Chattanooga. The General was also d.
rectly under fire of the Federal batteries
in the great battle of kenesaw Mountain,
June 27. 1864 She carried up a load OF
ammunition, and staid there for the pur-
pose of receiving the wounded in the bat
tie and bringing them back to Marietta
after its termination. Some of the shells
from the Federal batteries exploded all
around her She was also the last iocomo-
tive to leave Atlanta when Hoods army
evacuated the city. The General" IS still
in the service of the company, but does
not do any heavy work.

through the marshes and turned them INTO
farms The Germans of course, conquered
them. and they own the land all about them :;
but this has not changed their character
They pay taxes to Germany and they serve
as German soldiers. Outside of this they
have little connection with us, and they are
as much a different people from US as If they
lived two hours ride from Moscow instead of
Berlin. They have different language from
the Germans and the Bible is printed in It,
The country is picturesque one and you
cannot do better than visit it. You will go
about in boats and will for the time jump

The day following this talk a slow train
bore me past the windmills and market gar
dens out of Berlin, past Potsdam, the sum-
mer residence of the German kings, and on to
Vetschan a little station about sixty miles
away. From here walked five miles over
country road to Burg, which Is one OF the
capitals of this Vendish nation. The air was
bracing. the road was as solid as marble,
free from dust and lined with shade trees. A
country walk in Germany is far dli1erent
from one in America. One finds a restaurant
at every two or three miles, and SO many
neople walk in Europe that he is sure OF COM
panv of some kind. The larks sang sweetly
this morning, and the yellow grain mixed
with the beautiful blue cornfiOwers (kalser

ride was so changeable and beautiful. The
banks of the smaller canals were so near that
I could almost pick flowers from them as we
passed lazily along. Now we would shoot
into great forest, and for miles the trees
would form perfect arbor over us, shutting
out the rays of the sun. On the plains the
grass waited its lotus-like perfumes into our
nostrils. and the birds and insects Of the
forest and meadow sang a march as we
pushed along Here and there we would 60
by matched cottage, with moss, perhaps,
growing on its roof and white capped, short
skirted children playing upon its canal bank,
and every human soul, from the child to the
old man, would sing out CHEEKY "Guten
Morgen."
And then the queer scenes of Swedish life.
Now a young man and woman pass with a
kahn filed with household goods and the
happiest smile on their faces, leading you to
think they have just been married and are
going to housekeeping. Now bare-legged
Venus goes by with load Of hay. She
smiles as she passes Her kahn almost grazes
yours and you are half tempted to pinch
those rosy limbs as they pass. There is moth
ing new to bring you back to the present.
Everything is old and quaint. The moss on
the roofs is deep and thick, and the boards
and stones of the houses are gray with the
age of a hundred years.
At one point stopped the kahn, and, look
ing into stable, watched the milkmaids
working away with their buckets held fast
between their knees My guide told me that
the girls did all the milking, cleaned the
stables and took care of the cows.
This guide was character. His broken
German enabled us to get along very well.
He told me that most of the Vends were
Protestants, and that he believed in the
Bible He looked upon me as great Curl
osity when he found l was an American, and
he pointed me out as such to every one we
met He had been soldier in the German
army, and lie said times were good in Ger
many, and that the ordinary wages in this
part of the country were now from twenty
to thirty cents day for women, and from
twenty-five to fifty cents day for men. he
was very grateful when gave him little
more than the regular fee at the close; and
he told me he wanted me to take his wlfes
photograph to America so that he could say
that his wife had been there. He afterwards
sent NE this photograph, and publish 1t In
this letter If he ever sees it doubt not he
will think the millennium has begun.

There are no fences in Germany. The cattle
are kept in their stables and the crops grow
side by side with only imaginary boundaries.
The people live in villages and the houses are
not scattered over the farms as in America.
Three miles an hour is considered the aver
age speed for an European pedestrian, and IN
an hour and a half we had reached Burg.
After a dinner OF kalbsbraten and glass OF
beer found a man who could speak Ger
man and who consented TO row me through the
country at the rate of 81 a day. He pro-
cured kahn, or one of the boats which are
exclusively used in this country. 1t Is
long, narrow, fat bottomed affair about
eight inches deep. Into this he threw some
hay and told me to get in and lie down at
my ease Then standing up he pushed the
boat along with pole, lodging around cor
ners and passing other boats with all the
skill Of Venetian gondolier. Horses are
almost as unknown in the Spreewald as IN
Venice, and the peasant here uses the kahn
as much as the Venetian does the gondola.
As we rode about through the canals OF the
Spree. | saw these boats fastened to the banks
near every house, and they are used IN visit
ing. going to weddings or funerals, and IN
attending to business. They are the pleasure
carriages and the farm wagons of the
country. and the scenes Of farm life are fully
as curious and much more picturesque than
those of Holland.

a PRESIDENTS BIRTHPLACE.

The I Ouse in Fairfield, VT, where Ches-
ter Alan Arthur First Saw Light.
A remarkable fact about a long line OF the
presidents of the United States is the excep-
tionally humble surroundings of their birth.
The pictures of the houses in which Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield were born have been pub
lished, and strange to say were all about OF
type with the illustration herewith Of the
late President Arthurs birthplace. The plain,
squatty one story structure, with single door
and q few windows, seems to be the lucky one
as starting point for the presidential aspi-
rant. Our public men possessing the "presi-
dental bee in their bonnets" should first find
what style of house they were born in and
risk their chances accordingly. And unborn
Americans intending to run for president
should take advantage of this point and see
to it that their careers are begun right.
