The Riches OF Burmah.

Burmah is one of the richest and most fer
tile countries perhaps in tho world. 1t
abounds with forests of teak and other valua-
bic timber. Cotton, indigo and tobacco Of a
most superior quality are extensively grown
There are large earth oil wells in upper Bur-
NAH, and also tin, lead, coal, iron and salt
mines. Amber Is found in large quantities in
some parts, and the ruby mines Of Baumo,
northwest Of Mandalay, are very famous.
The trade in timber, cotton and grain is very
large. The customs department told me that
one day last month the value of the rice ex-
ported from Thyet Myo was 5000 rupees.
Gold, copper and raw silk are largely import
ed from China fear that it is mainly owing
to the rich and fertile nature of the country
that the present quarrel has been picked with
Burmah.
Every year, in the cold season, caravans
come from Baumo to Rangoon, guarded by
wild and savage dogs. Each has several hun
dred mules or oxen. laden with blankets,
gems, trinkets, etc. They remain five or six
weeks, and return with Manchester, Sheffield
and American goods. They take about two
months on the journey, travelling from eight
to ten miles day and bivouacking at night.

Don't worry, my son, don't worry. Don't
worry about something that you think may
happen to o-morrow, because you may die to-
night and tomorrow will find you beyond
the reach Of worry. Don't worry over a
thing that happened yesterday, because yes
terday is q hundred years away. If you don't
believe it just try to reach after it and bring
It back. Don't worry about anything that is
happening to-day, because to-day viii only
last fifteen or twenty minutes. If you don't
believe it tell your creditors you'll be ready
to settle in full with them at sunset Don't
worry about things you can't help, because
worry only makes them worse. Don't worry
about things you can help, because then
there's no need to worry. Don't worry at all
II you want to be penitent now and then it
won't hurt you bit to go into the sackcloth
and ashes business a little 1t will do You
good. II you want to cry a little once in a
long while, that isn't bad thing. If you
feel like going out and clubbing yourself oc-
casionally, think you need it and will lend
you a helping hand at it, and put a plaster
on you afterward. All these things will do
you good. But worry, worry, worry, fret,
fret, fret-why, there's neither sorrow, peni-
tence, strength, penance, reformation, hope
nor resolution in it It's just worry.-Bur-

UNDER MOUNTAINS OF MASONRY.
The Fate Of q Picturesque Bit of Arcadia.
A Charming Place.

The Fate of . Picturesque Bit of Arcadia.
A Charming Place.
Speaking of building, Mr.. rutherford
Stuyvesant, the head Of the great Stuyvesant
estate, which owns about a square mile Of
east side property, is completing the last Of a
solid half block Of fine flats on Fourteenth
street. Under these gorgeous combinations
Of brown stone and cabinet work lies buried
the most unique and picturesque bit of
Arcadia New York has ever known. For
years these lots, to the extent Of an acre, lay
waste, behind q high plank fence. Then
there came along an Italian chorus singer,
who leased them, and put up in one corner a
queer little house, constructed Of second hand
materials from the Avenue b yards. He
transformed the waste lots into q market
garden, and en,bowered the walk that led up
to his hut with grapevines. There were some
big elm trees in the lot, and under these he
built Q stout plank table. Here modest
Bohemian dinners were eaten by all sorts Of
odd banqueters.
Little by little rooms were added to the
original structure, snug boxes like state
rooms on board ship, which became tenanted
by chorus singers and small fry actors from
the French and Italian companies. In time
these additions spread to such an extent that
the original house was almost lost among
them. The most pretentious of these rooms
was for a time occupied by the comedian,
Mezieres. Out in the farm, among the
patches Of corn and cabbage, of beets and
beans, peas, potatoes and salads. was a tiny
covered stage, such as you may find in cheap
outdoor resorts in the Latin countries, where
the dodgers gave evening entertainments Of
farce and melody to each other. The tall
fence and the brick walks around it shut the
place out from busy New York.
Under summer suns and winter blasts life
went on as gayly and lightly as in gypsy
camp. The tenant did a profitable supply
business out Of his farm, and as a slender CON
Meeting link between himself and the great
world ran a private postoffice in an outlying
rsoRification Of his grange. But the general
public reached the letter boxes only through
the bower OF grapev ines, and got but a casual
glimpse Of the paradise behind the fiuttering
leaves. The strong, red wine gushed only for
the favored few, the macaroni steamed and
the ragouts perfumed the air in the sole SER
vice Of the Bohemian, for mine host had no
license, and so restricted his hospitalities to
those whom he coull trust He was so much
part of the place, and SO incrusted with its
soil, that / cannot but believe that he lies
buried under the mountains of masonry that
have become the monuments of so much
smuggled pleasure.-Alfred Trumble in New
York News.

THE MAGDAlEN.

Only a Mazdalen found in thu river,
Nobody's sister, nobody's child,
Nobody heart to throb and qhver,
Nobodys lips 70 pale and shtver;
Only a Magdalen found I'm the river,
Tossed on the drift OF the incoming tide
Beautiful, sinful piece Of humanity,
Was there no spot on the earth's broad breast,
No couch but the ooze and drift OF the river,
No song but its sobbing to lull you to rest:
Out from the glow Of the gaslghted city,
No loving voice called mid the rush and roar,
Only the voice Of the river kept calling,
Up from the gloom Of its wave-beaten shore
Strains Of waltz music drift over the water,
Ripples Of laughter are throbbing between,
Boatmen like shadows, rock by on the river,
And out from the darkness the harbor lights
geam-
A shivering piece of humanity crouching,
NerveIes white hands on the n-burthened
breast,
Dumb with the woe of life's cruel mystery,
Moaning, despairing, her wan lips a-quiver,
A plunge and she sinks to her shrOud and her
bed,
And waltzes are throbbing and harbor lights glim-
mer,
And the waves roll unseen DER the face Of the
dead
Over the water cathedral bells tolling,
Was IL q dirge for her unshriven sins,
Or a prayer for the soul Of the Magdalen rushing
Swift meath the portal with impious wingss
Magdalen found in the dark, flowing river
The dead white face upturned to the sun.

Trout Fishing In Colorado.

travagant estimate Of the quantity of Colo
RADIO trout shipped in the course of q week."
asked a reporter of Gen. Pierce, the fish COM
missioner, yesterday.
"Not at all, said the commissioner. "In
fact, / consider it a very modest average.
One hundred pounds day is a small average
for Colorado. I am sorry to find that all the
trout put in the streams last year have been
caught, 50 that there has been no breeding; !;
the trout have not increased to amount to
anything"
"Well, general, how do you think this
thing can be stoppedi'
-Oh, don't know. 1 don't see any help
for it, except to enforce such Law as they
have in New York, that Is, to forbid the
catching Of all fish under six inches in length.
Unles the streams are restocked the trout in
Colorado streams will be wholly exterminated
within five years"-Denver Tribune Repub-

Origin OF the Name Campbell.

The Campbells, as are all the great nobility
Of the three British kingdoms, are of French,
Norman or French-Angevine origin. The
founder Of the family was a Beauchamp, a
Norman from Rouen, who followed William
the Conqueror, to whom William gave large
estates in England In the Thirteenth century
il was customary among the nobility to give
Latin names to their estates. Beauchamp
translated in Latin makes Campo Bello;
translated in Saxon English it means Fairfield.
So, such is the origin of the Campbells.
Gourdon has made Gordon, and so on.-New

BATTLE SCENES IN VOGUE.

A Dealer I'm Cheap Pictures Gives Some
Pointers About Popular Taste.
A big dealer in pictures, such as engravings,
chromos, etchings, pastels, oil paintings, all
moderately cheap, in conversation with q re-
porter the other day, said that battle pictures
sold the best He added: THE general public,
which is not educated in high art as rule, IS
fond Of war subjects, representations OF bat
ties, fights or narrow escapes. Now II put
outside for inspection four pictures, the one
that represents battle or some war episode
attracts the most attention. A little group
constantly stands before the war picture and
the others are scarcely noticed. One OF the
pictures that always attracts attention Is The
Return of Napoleon from the Island OF Elba-
The great general is represented as surrounded
by his staff, members Of the old guard, and
his soldiers rushing forward to greet him and
kiss his hand
Even tramps who pass along the street
stop and gaze in admiration at the Little Cor
poral They all seem to know the picture OF
Napoleon, and have some slight acquaintance
with his history. The Battle OF Waterloo"
also comes in for n popular share OF interest.
Tho troops Of the Union army parading
through Washington, the battle OF Gettys-
burg. and such like pictures are mostly ad-
mired by the uncultured, who are fond Of pic
lures because they are pictures. These, Of
course, are not the original oil paintings, sim
ply the engravings Of them. The prices
range from s. to $50 apiece. The sum Of e15
will buy a fine engraving and so viii simply
get a first-class picture in our trade The "Af-
nair Of Honor" duel between two women,
sells well and comes under the general head Of
war pictures.
IF were great painter 1 should devote
my time to battles and historical events,
where guns, swords and cannon figured pro-
miscuously II the uncultured are fond Of
such pictures, l am sure those who have great
artistic taste will appreciate them in . greater
ratio. Engravings Of Fortuny's Choosing the
MOtiel' are admired, but not with the enthusi-
asm or thrilling battle scenes. l have dealt
in cheap pictures a good many years, and my
experience is that they act as educators and
have . tendency to refine and improve. l
know poor people who once bought cheap pic
lures Of me, that have advanced 50 in the Sc
lection Of engravings from great painters
that l often get pointers from them as to
what should buy. They studied up and be-
came thoroughly posted ON modern painters. !"

Concerning Horse Sense"

We often hear Of what is called ~horse
sense" implying a peculiarly excellent va
riety OF manly ability to reason correctly
when the grounds for action are plainly
stated. As q matter Of fact, however, the
horse does not stand very high in the scale OF
Intelligence. Owing to his peaceable dispo-
sition and long subsection to man he Is toler-
ably docile, while his muscular strength makes
him useful In the matter Of Sense" in the
way that scarce quality is manifested in the
ape, dog or elephant, the horse is sadly de-
ficient- He is as subject to violent emotions
OF fear as the cat, and when under the influ-

SRIBlNG WITNESSES.

rested On n Serious Charge.

Simon Cooney and Chris. +. Weber Ar
rested On Serious Charge.
Yesterday afternoon Simon Cooney. who
keeps a saloon on the levee, was tried in
the mayors court for keeping his saloon
open last Sunday. and as the only two wit
neSses, Dave Martin and William White.
called by the city, swore that they were not
in the saloon, COoney was dismissed.
Officer Norton, who had arrested CoOney,
suspected something crooked, and began to
investigate. He ascertained that COOney
had given Chris. p Webber, a carriage
painter, $40 to get Martin and White to
swear that they were not in the
saloon. Martin was in the station
house for drunkenness, and Weber
went to see him, and by paying
his fine, $40, he secured his promise to do
the proper amount of swearing Weber
also procured Whites promise to swear
properly. Both swore as they promised and
the result was as above stated. Officer
Norton, after learning those facts,
arrested Webber on the charge
of bribing witness, and about IL o'clock
this morning, on officer NOrtOn's affidavit,
Deputy Marshal POtee arrested CoOney for
bribery. He gave $500 bond and was re-
leased. Weber was unable to give bond
and went to Jail. Martin and White will
both be arrested for accepting bribeS.
