STORY.
THE DIAMOND DOLLAR.

"Worst thing in the world for weak
eyes, young woman"
The young woman looked up from the
magazine in her lap and smiled at her
gray bearded mentor ON the opposite side
of the street car. She smiled with her
whole face-dimpled chin, red cheeks,
full lips; even the eyes behind the con-
vex glasses of her pince nez twinkled.
"Thank YOU" she said, shutting the
book softly, al know it. / was merely
glancing at the pictures"
Then she turned her amused glance
toward the front part of the car, and met
the eyes of the driver staring straight at
her. His face lighted up when her glance
met his, and with his rough glove he
it shielded something which concerned
her.
The car was one of those little wheeled
boxes locally known as the ''Pound Gap
Bob-tails," which ply between Cincinnati,
O., and its Kentucky suburb, Newport.
The driver, sole autocrat, dividing his
ime among the mules, his passengers and
the small boys who everywhere mark bob
tail cars for their own, was muffied to the
mouth in an old oilskin coat, belted at the
WALSH WIFI u lcutlCI DUldp. Ills Cop was
pulled down to shield his face from the
.ain, into the teeth of which he was
forced to drive, and when he entered the
,ar to collect the fares his heavy cowhide
BOOTS completeda grotesque picture, which
would have attracted attention even in
Castle Garden. Evidently he cared less
for style than for comfort.
"What Is the fare to Newport?"
"Ten cents, please. +"
I started at the musical voice, and
looked at the man closely.
"Wh-a-ty" I said, mot Ferguson, of
The Gazetteer
"Same party, dear boy, same party"
He laughed in the honest, whole-souled
way that knew so well, rang the bell Of
his punch twice, smiled at the pretty girl,
who seemed to enjoy my surprise, and
brake, where presently joined him.
'"This is rough, Ferguson, deuced
rough-S12 a week and seventeen hours
dayi Can't you do better than this?"
Classical occupation, dear boy. One
If the children of Greek mythology, you
will remember, aspired to drive a car-his
!ather's car, but while his route was a
rifle dryer than mine''-
'Tt was not necessary for him to make
! guy of himself in cowhide boots. That
girl inside is laughing at YOU"
~ know it. She always does when she
rides with me-"
He looked through the glass door of the
;ar, and again patted the side Of his coat
when he met the young woman's eye.
The gesture seemed to please her.
"Another case of the maiden and the
,oachman," remarked Ferguson as he
slowed up to take on a passenger. Evil
aently he had lost none of his high spirits
since he had drifted out of Journalism into
street car service, ''But seriously now,
1on't you know her?n
sNo, cannot say that dor said,

The death of Gen. Stager, at the age of GO,
which occurred at Chicago on March 20, re
moves one of the greatest organizers and
managers the electric telegraph has had. He
began work at the age Of 10 as printer,
with Henry OReilly, who afterwards became
a pioneer in the building and operating Of
teiegraphs, taking Stager with him. When
O'ReiIly connected Harrisburg and Phila-
delphia with line of wire he gave Stager
charge Of the Office at Lancaster This was
IN 1876 Here he exhibited such strong execu-
tive ability and resource that he was chosen
superintendent of the Mississippi company's
line, which was projected to connect Buffalo,
N Y with Louisville, KY. The war found
him IN control Of the telegraph systems which
he had extended through Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. These were seized by the governors
of the respective states for military purposes,
he being retained in charge. Gen Mcclellan
secured his services to organize the first mill
tary telegraph used in war, and subsequently
the secretary of war appointed him chief OF
the United States military telegraph. Here
he devised system of telegraphing in cipher
which bafled the most expert Confederate
teIegraphers to translate. Following the war
came the consolidation Of the principal tele-
graph companies, of which Gen. Stager was
offered the superintendency. This he de
clined, but accepted charge of the central of
the three divisions into which the company
was divided. In 1869 he removed his head
quarters to Chicago and founded the Western
Electric Manufacturing company, besides
leading in the development Of electrical ap-
pliances in the great west.

The important diplomatic station OF Mn
lister to Germany has been granted TO gentle
man" George H. Pendleton, and at the age or
90. after 35 years of his life spent in politics,
though not always successful, few men are
better entitled than Mr.. Pendleton to
reward from his party. 1t is claimed by
his friends that his speech in the Senate on
civil service reform is what compelled
his opponents to adopt that measure, which
proved afterwards to be one of the severest
blows to them Mr. PendletOn began public
life in 1854 as a member of the state senate Of
Ohio. He represented Ohio in the national
congress from 1857 to 1864, when he was the
Democratic candidate for vice-president on
the ticket headed by George b. Mcclellan;
was a candidate for governor of Ohio ID
1869. and In 1879 took his seat in the United
States senate. In private life Mr.. Pendleton
Is held in the highest esteem. His wife IS a
lady of rare accomplishments. She was the
daughtereof Francis Scott Key, the author OF
The Star Spangled Banner" and niece OF
the great chief justice of the United States
supreme court, Roger P. fancy. Their
home is at Cincinnati. where Mr.. Pendleton
was born and has since resided.

An anglers journal is publishing series OF
letters to prove that brook trout weighing
"a pounds was caught in Maine in 1S49.
There is nothing very remarkable about it.
Z As a-trout generally increases in weight at
: the rate of one pound an hour after being
taken from the water by an angler, the
Maine fish of 1S49 should now weigh about
300, 900 pounds.

CASTS FROM PoMPEII a museum has
been erected III Polnpeii, IN whcl; ar. Pre-
served plaster casts OF some of The people
who perished IN tie c!uplicn. Taese reo
pie were covered up by Inc iiuc aShe5 just
where they fell, and in the positions il
which they died These ashes hardened
and although The bodies, with the exception
of few bones, entirely disappeared in the
course of ages, the hollow places left in the
ashes were exactly the shape of the forms
and features OF the persons who Lad been
there. An Ingenious Italian conceived The
idea Of boring into these hollow molds and
filling them up with liquid plaster of Paris
When this became dry and hard, tho ashes
were removed, and there were the plaster
images Of the persons who had been over
taken and destroyed before they could es
cape from that terrible storm of hot ashes,
which came down in quantities sufficient to
cover whole city from sight. In some of
these figures tho features are very distinct,
and we can even distinguish the texture of
their clothes and the rings upon their fin-
ge;s. There are eight of these fgures-men !,
wolnen and girls, besides the cast of large
dog. To stand and look upon the exact
representation Of these poor creatures who
periShed here seems still moro to shorten
the time between the present and the days
when Pompeii was 4 lively, bustling CITY,
