In comparing New York Of to-day
with that Of half century ago, the
Herald shows how the people Of that
city managed to get along with neither
steam nor horse railroads, without tel
egraph or telephone, without steam fire
engines, Croton water and gas. Ittook
two days to reach the capital at Albany,
and eight weeks to reach Europe. Per-
hapsno other city in the world offers so
marked an illustration of the evolution
of half century. Boss eal2. n.

/ 1t was nothing strange years ago for
snow to fall about, Christmas and re-,
main on the. ground, for, weeks and
months, often several feet in depth.
The mercury dropped below zero and
did not cause any wonder. Everything
that usually ran on wheels was placed
on runners. The ordinary mode Of
public travel was W means Of open
stage s,sighs,l with seats arranged
lengthwise on either side and drawn
by eight or twelve horses. The jing
Of the sleigh.bells and the crack OF the
drivers whip, with his lively ''yee-
oop'' , was musical even in its diseOrd.
Nothing of this is to be seen now in,
New York, although heavy SHOWS are
often experienced In the country, some
distance from the city. d is very sell
dom that the mercury here now reaches
below zero, and. the snow rarely packs,
even when 1t is not cleared away by
the street-cleaning department. Instead
Of the small, fine, dry crystals which
marked the .old-fashioned winters, the
snow is damp and clinging, soon melts
and forms slush and mud. ''st All h''-
y Zone principal cause for this change"
said an officer of the signsl-s0rvice
corps on the top Of the Equitable Build
ing, ''can he see from the window Of
this station. Look around you in
every direction, east, west,l north or
south, in this city, Brooklyn and Jersey
City, and what do you see? Clouds OF
steam rising from almost every house,

ment houses, factories using steam rs
motor, buildings heated BY the same
hot vapor; all sending forth clouds
from the tops of houses. Do you not
suppose this has an effect ON the at
mosphere, warns the air and half
melts the snow before it reaches the
groundP Then there are the boilers
under the sidewalks and in the cellars;
steam-hesting pipes along the road
ways and thousands of contrivances to
generate heat not known a quarter Of
a century ago. The opening up of the
country, with its. millions Of settlers
and their household fires, must have an
effect on the atmosphere. The new
cities springing up where the wilder.
ness existed concentrate heat, so that,
before the wintry winds of the North.
west reach the city, they become mod.
Grated. Put New York and its sur.
roundings, II it were possible, back ia
the primitive style Of the years gone
by, and doubtless the ,old-fashioned

JULIUS Z. KoosHAR.


" which Killed Csar Alexander. ~.
The parsonage who, it is alleged.
manufactured the bomb. that sent Car
Alexander to another world bears the
somewhat striking cognomen Of Julius
Cesar Kooshar. The police claim,
however, that his real name is
Tshoodnofsky.- He is a native of Kief,
Russia, and made bis debut into this
world in the year 184l. At the age Of
eight he was sent to Leipsic by his
parents, and in the university there re-
ceived his education. Returning to
Kief in 1856. he claims to have entered
into the banking business, and few
years later inherited the sum Of $780,
600 rubles (el75, 000) on the death Of his
father. Having loaned large sums Of
money to Polish noblemen, he was
well-nigh ruined by the Polish revolu-
ton OF 1868. His wife died about
thirteen years since, leaving him two
children, who are at present in Russia.
In later ventures he lost what re-
mained of his fortune, and, hating the
Government of the Gear, he set ont for
California, arriving here five years
since. Several residents Of Russia in
this city state that his real object in
coming to the Golden State was IA
further the interests of q colonization
scheme, which failed. He lived for, 9
time at the expense Of the Russian
Consul, and. It is alleged, swindled
Barnett Rosenthal, q tobacconist, Of q
stock Of cigar materials which were
| given him on. credit. Kooshar is 8
man Of medium height, rather vel
preserved. A depreCatofy expression
rests continually on his wrinkled cOun
tenance. He stoops slightly, aud

Opium Fiends I'm Carson.

II is said that opium hends are quite
numerous in Carson. 1t has been esti-
mated that they are not fewer than 40
white persons here who are addicted to
the habit of opium smoking. Some of
these, it is believed, congregate in va.
cant houses and out of the way places,
and under cover of night indulge in the
nasty, facilitating, character-wrecking
habit. We hardly believe Dame Ru-
NOR, however. in her efforts TO try to
cast odium on the good name of persons
prominent in society by insinuating that
they are opium hends.-F|et Lance.

EDITOR TINES In regard to the
perjury case Of "Big SAM" mentioned
IN last weeks TINES, perhaps some Of
your readers may not understand how
il is that our ias.eyed" brother can
and will commit that offense against
our laws unhesitalingly and shamelessly
as often, as in his judgment, the cir
cumstances of the case may demand.
1t is 10 be accounted for IN this simple
fact, that the Chinaman does not regard
the Christian form OF oath binding in
any particular, but if sworn in con-
formity with their own customs, few in
deed possess the hardihood to testify
falsely. There are several forms Of oath
practiced by the Chinese. The most
sacred and binding of which is to stand
over grave wherein lies the body Of
a relative or at least fellow country
man, and holding lighted candle in
mo MANN, IL PSdb "OiuS StlhNthAhss a't~e
this formula: "Should | not tell the
truth when questioned in this case, may
my life 60 out forever the same as the
fame from this candle which l now ex-
tingnish," at the same time blowing
the fame from the candle with his
breath. Coming next in order Is decapi.
tating chicken, after repeating
formula of similar import. Another is
to throw a stone in the river, after re.
peating the formula and ending with:
"May | sink forever out of sight and
remembrance as sinks this stone into
the bed of this river" There are many
other forms, but those indicated above
are the most popular and the most often
used. WoRRINGMAN.

We see the subject OF milking cows
by machinery has b-en forced upon the
attention Of the dairy public again by
an inventive Pennsylvania, and our
English cousins over the water are TAX
ing it up. We have no sort Of faith in
it whatever. IL is not even plausible in
theory. No sort Of machinery will ad-
just itself TO every kind Of teat and
udder. Any one accustomed to milking
knows that no two cows milk alike, and
that he goes through with manipula.
tons that no possible kind Of machinery
could do. Machinery has but one way
and possesses no sort Of intelligence,
while intelligence and judgment are
essential to successful milking. Besides,
the thing has been tried over and over
again, in probably as perfect a manner
Al possible. The milk has been drawn
quite eleanly. to all appearance, but
there was still a serious drawback.
The COW will not give down her milk
10 machine as she will to her calf OF
to the hand Of mixer. The conse.
quence is a lesscned yield, and a rapid
drying up of the COW. Thus far, this
has been the result OF all attempts at
milking cows by machinery, and, we
believe, it will always continue to he
the result. But once in each genera.
ton, some enterprising fellow, through
his own ignorance or presuming on the
tofgetfulness and lack OF information
on the part of the dai,ymen. will prob.
ably revive the idea Of milking cows by
machinery; and. after he has spent
enough Of his oNn money and become
satisfied with the disasters that follow,
will drop it, and II will be taken up by
some subsequent adventurer. = National

COMO.


Present and Future, Prospects
The energy and pluck of the few
who have never lost faith in the true
merit OF Como, is truly commendible.
Recent developments seem to indicate
that their faith is well founded. Our
informant assures US that the loves. re-
turns given for recent workings OF
Como will Approximate about $50 per
ton. The Come-Eureka and North
Rapidan Companies have hundred or
more tons Of ore on their dumps for
shipment to mills which promises better
returns than they have ever received
before, and not to exceed STA per ton
will pay the cost of transportation and
milling, which at the low estimate, will
leave a large profit for mining. Ma.
chinery and proper appliances for sue
cessful mining in Como are wholly
inadequate. At a depth Of less than
400 feet water cannot be handled with
the present facilities. AS depth has
been attained, both quantity and quality
Of ore have been found which speaks
well for the future. An outlook Of the
country would seem to indicate that
tunnel less than one mile in length
would drain Como more than 1000 feet
in depth. Were that accomplished,
perhaps Como would change its name
TO Cosmos. ARuPs.
