Another Sharon Case.

Lucky Baldwin, the California million
aire, seems booked for ~ prolonged litigious
experience very similal' to that which har
assed the late Senator Sharon till the day of
his death. The Sarah .Althea in Mr.. Bald
wins instance is Miss Louise c. Perkins,
who claims to have suffered in her feelings
through the perfidious attentions of the mill
ionaire the latter, as she alleges, having
promised to AIRY her As the said prom
ise was rene wed from time to time, after the
manner of promissory note it seems fair
to conjecture that Mr. Baldwin regulated
entment by busi ness, and that his ardent
passion for the fair Perkins rose or fell ac-
cording to the tone of the market in mining
shares. She bore with his inconstancy for
five years, and then she sued him for $780,
000-just 500, 900 per annum, S., 800 per cal
endar month or S2S5 a day. As they reckon
these things in California, this may not be

Moody mentioned the name and directed
the envelope Felix, happening to look
round at Lady Lydiard and the steward
while they were both engaged in writing, re-
turned suddenly to the table, as if he had
been struck by a new idea.
'.Is there a third pen?' he asked. ''Why
shouldn't write a line 1t once to Hardy
man. aunt! The sooner you have his opinion
about Tommie, the better-don't you think
so?'
Lady Lydiard pointed to the pen-tray with
q smile To show consideration for her dog
was to seize irresistibly on the high road to
her favor. Felix set to work on his letter,
in a large, scrambling handwriting, with
plenty of ink and a noisy pen. Il declare,
we are like clerks in an office" he remarked,
in hi, CHEEKY way ''All with our noses to
the paper, writing as if we lived by it! Here,
Moody, lei one of the servants take this at
once to Mr.. Hardyman's"
The messenger was dispatched Robert
returned and waited near his mistress, with
the directed envelope in his hand. Felix
sauntered back slowly towards the picture
gallery for the third time. In a moment
more Lady Lydiard finished her letter, and
folded up the bank note in it. She had just
taken the directed envelope from Moody
and had Just placed the letter inside it when
q scream from the inner room in which
Isabel was nursing the sick dog, startled
everybody. My lady! my LADY," cried tho
girl, distractedly, "Tommie is in ftl
Tommie is dying,"
Lady Lydiard dropped the unclosed en-
velope on the table, and ran-yes, short as
she was and fat as she was, ran-into the in
ner room. The two men, left together, looked
at each other.

way, " do you think if you or / were in a fit

'What shall send you, SIR" Moody asked,
coldly.

This time he succeeded in reaching the
archway, and disappeared behind the cur

if they really were related | discovered
some letters from Mr. Tollmidge, which
showed me that he and Lord Lydiard were

very painful statements, rejecting most un-

Mr.. Tollmidge deserved to be horsewhipped.

tinued, ascending again to the forms of ex-

Moody obeyed in silence. Lady Lydiard
wrote check.
Take that to the bankers and bring

it to the clergyman as coming from
AN unknown friend And be quick about it.
l am only fallible mortal, Moody. Don't
leave me time enough to take the stingy view

Moody went out with the check. No delay
was to be apprehended in obtaining the
money; the banking house was hard by, in
st. James street. Left alone, Lady Lydiard
decided on occupying her mind in the gener
Gus direction by composing her anonymous
letter to the clergyman. She had just taken
a sheet of note paper from her desk when a
servant appeared at the door, announcing a
visitor:
"Mr. Felix Sweetsir."

Senators on Exhibition.

1t is astonishing the extent TO which the
senator's pose for the galleries. There is one
senator from the south who appears to make
this almost the sole object of his service on
the floor of the senate. He is dressed in
full black suit, with his frock coat buttoned
across his breast. He strikes many atti-
tudes, but he never re tains one of them long
at TIME. lie will sit in his own seat; then
he will go into the lobby; soon he returns
and walks back and forth behind the rows
of benches; then be takes the seat of another
senator; then he rises to promenade again.
He seldom talks with other senator's; he is
just On exhibition Another from the west
is not SO tall, so large, or SO handsome, but
he is almost equally conscious. He looks so
different from the rest that the visitors eye
rests on him at once as it surveys the senate
board, and generally the inquiry is made as
to who he is.-Boston Herald.

Electric signals for Deep Miners.

A Lake Superior miner has invented a
very ingenious contrivance whereby signals
can be given from the lowest depths of the
mines with the utmost distinctness and
precision. The signal will be given by
means of an electric bell. which will bs
heard by the person that gives the signal as
well as by the person receiving it. The
entire apparatus can be placed in an iron
box six inches square. Signals can be
given from any level Of the mine. This
invention viii no doubt prove of great
value to our mines, and may be the means
of saving many lives, as there will be no
possibility of mistaking the signal

A Railroad in Central Asia.

Col c. Z. Stewart read paper on "The
Herat valley and the Persian border from
the Hari-rud to Seistan" at recent meet
ing of the English Royal Geographical So
ciety. Col. Stewart, VIII had made sur
vey of the country to the south of Khaf for
the government in 1881, and who accom-
panied Sir Peter Lumsden's commission,
was of opinion that the Herat valley was
the only place in this part of central
Asia where a large body of men
could be fed, and any one holding posses
sion of Herat would have a most command
ing influence in the affairs of Afghanistan
and Persia. Nothing, he held, would in
sure peace and quietness in central Asia so
much as continuing the Quetta line of rail-
way to Herat, and this line could eventually
be joined on to the Russian line.
If string was stretched over the globe
from England to India, it would nearly fol-
low the line through Russia to Viadikafkas,
at the foot of the Caucasus mountains,
where the Russian European system of rail
roads at present ends, but which is about to
be continued TO Petrofsk, on the Caspian
sea; and then would pretty nearly follow
the Russian Transcaspian line, and thence
onward through Herat to Quetta. .
The possibility of running railroads in
central Asia had been greatly facilitated by
the finding Of almost unlimited supplies of
fuel in the shape of petroleum. Sir Henry
Rawlinson concurred in the impptance of
Col Stewards remarks with reference to
Herat, but in the present state of railway
communication in that country it was quite
impossible for either Russia or England to
maintain an adequate garrison there Herat
should be left in the hands of the Afghans.

THE REPORT OF SPECIAL AGENT TINdtE.
Acting Secretary Of the Treasury Fairchtld is
In receipt of report from Special Agent Tibgle
on the seal fisheries OF Alaska. In which the
special agent, after commenting upon the ex.
cellent condition of the fisheries on the Sea
Islands, alludes to the operations Of the Cor
win. and says:
"This commencement of captures will do
much toward breaking up the marauding busi.
ness about the islands this season. Indeed, the
Corwin's presence here has undoubtedly kept
OF quite q feet OF schOouers and destroyed their
unlawful business hereabouts. With the cut
of the Arctic, seal lite will be protected from
pirates this season. It is the only means by
which good can be accomplished in that direc-
ton. do earnestly hope the department
will see the necessity of keeping u cutter
around the fur seal islands every season, from
the LIST of June to the LIST Of November"
The report shows that during the past year
the Alaska Seal company. under Its contract,
took SO. $50 seal skins, In return for which 1t

Sanitary Condition or the Treasury
Building.

PLANS FUN ALB 1MFhOSEMENT fEhfECTEUs
Mr.. Robinson, the inspector of plumbing, was
at the Treasury department to-day, consulting
with Chief Clerk Younans concerning the sani.
tary condition OF the building. The plans for
the work to be done under the $4,000 appro-
priation have been perfected aud are approved
by Mr.. Robinson. The plan complete provides
for the removal OF the sewer that runs directly
under the building, and the construction Of enc
OF newer pattern ~ be constructed outside.
But the money appropriated Is not enough to
complete this, SO Il will not be begun now. The
work will be confined to improving
the plumbing, throughout the building
All the old pipes and closets will be taken
out, and replaced by the most approved plumb
ing with ample ventilation by double pipes,
etc. 1t is Thought the $40, 900 will be sufficient
to plete this branch OF the work, which will
afford q great relief, and when more money Is
had the entire plan will be carried out, the
whole system being connected with the new
sewers, At present the pipes that run all
through the building seem to conduct the foul
air from the sewer into the rooms and
corridors.
The question whether this work should be
done by contract or by days work has been
raised, and Mr.. Youmans submitted IL to the
acting lstcontroller this morning. AS soon as his
decision is received the work will be begun. 1t
is the desire OF Mr.. 1Oumans that 1t be done by
day work, Immediately under the eye Of the
department superintendents, SO that there may
be no sighting Of the work In the effort to
make profit out OF 1t.
