Dreary Ending OF a Career That Began
with Dazzling BriiIiancy.

with Dazzling B%rilllancy.
I have heard lately that Marshal Ba-
zaine is living in Madrid in a state OF
actual want. His wife, who was a
Mexican heiress, has left him, taking
with her her large fortune, which was
settled on herself. The old man wrote
lately to one of his military friends in
Paris, stating the pecuniary straits to
which he had been reduced. He had
tried to persuade the ex-Empress Eu-
genie to aid him, but that lady had
never v%ouchsafed a response to his let
ter, Yet, If the Marshal had any claim
on any one in the world, it was the
Empress. He wrecked his own career
and ruined his life by his fervid Bona
partisan. And she, who has now no
actual claims upon her, having neither
family o friends, might very well
have afforded to settle an annuity on
the old soldier, who was too ardent an
Imperialist to be a genuine patriot.
One of Bazaine's former comrades, an
old General, who is himself far from
rich, sent the Marshal two hundred
dollars. What a dreary ending to a
career that began so brilliantly. When
he entered Mexico at the head of the
French troops, how dazzling seemed
his future prospects. And a year or
two ago the Ambassador Of France at
Madrid CHANGED to meet M. and Nine.
Bazaine at n of the official balls. The
Minister summoned his staff and his
at once, and with them quilted
the ballroom. For the French Gov
eminent has commanded its repre-.
in Spain never to associate
with the traitor Of Metz, nor ever to re.
main at any entertainment where he

NENNooK,
The Cunning Displayed by Polar Bears In
the Capture of Prey.

tne capture OF troy.
If we do not know it to be so, it would
be hard to believe that any animal could
make its home in the midst of the al
most perpetual snow and ice of the far
North. And yet many more animals
than are generally supposed to do SO
live in that intense cold, and have ac-
commodated themselves TO their sur
r%oundings. For example, the mosquito
has been found as far north as man has
ever gone.
The white bear deserves attention for
the manner in which ii has adapted itself
to its strange mode of life. 1t is not
called AN amphibiOus animal, but might
probably be so called. for it is perfectly
at home in the watcr-indeed it has been
known to pursue and capture so nimblp
a fish as the salmon. The polar bear
foot is unusually long and broad even for
q bears foot, and this peculiarly aids in
enabling it to swim 81 rapidly. But the
great foot is of most use in crossing the
slippery ice or crusted snow. The under
part Of the foot is covered with long.
soft fur, which answers the double pur-
pose Of keeping the foot warm in spite
Of constant contact with the cold ice,
and of preventing the awkward slipping
which would certainly occur if the foot
were hard and smooth.
As a rule, the white bear avoids man

Clocks Kept Wound by an Air Blast and
Regulated by 1t Hourly.
A new system for furnishing correct
Time to any number of offices or houses
from a central station is on exhibition
ut ITO Broadway. The vital principle
of the invention is the use of com
pressed air to wind and regulate or.
binary clocks. Attached to each clock
is a little upright brass cylinder, within
which Is a rubber bellows. A tube con.
iucts compressed air from the central
,tation to initiate the bellows, and the
current of air is so regulated that a
blast sends the bellows up at the end OF
every hour. The rise of the bellows
winds the clock as much as it has run
down during the hour, and also throws
the minute hand around exactly to the
XII mark. provided the clock has
gained or lost anything during the
hour. The machine for creating the
air blast is operated by water pressure
from the city water mains or any
other unfailing source. The blast is
controlled by means of q regulator
clock, which opens an electric current
1t the right time.

"Tell me. Popsie, just once more,
What did you do when you went to war;

When the Forty. seventh marched away:
How Cromwell died at Jackson Town,
And Miles Of Corlnth field went down.
But how many rebels, tell me true,
Did you kill then, and the whole war

And tell him then, with eager zest,
How 10 Reed blew up . timber chest.
But the Major sticks to his question still:
How many rebels did you kill?'
So l tell him how, near the set of sun,
The Charge was made and the battle won.

Well, some days afterwards I had a re-

me that the writer had received the
bank-notc from an uncle in Bombay,
whose address he gave me. This in
formation I forwarded to the postal
authorities in England, on whom, Of
course, devolved the duty of pursuing
all further inquiries with respect to the
matter; and for some little time there
after I heard nothing more about the
business. However, subsequently l
learned the sequel of it. The Mr.
Blenkiron, resident in Bombay, when
communicated with, stated that the
note had been sent to him by a mer-
chant in Glasgow. That merchant had
received it from a tradesman in the
same place; that individual, in his turn,
had taken it from a clerk in one of the
branch p%ost-offices in that city, in pay
ment of his account. Thus, finally,
the theft of the money having been
brought home to the clerk in question,
he was duly tried, and convicted Of the
offence
This was the Consul's story, which
struck me as a rather curious one. It
it said, with justice, that the strength
of a chain is simply the strength of its
weakest link. In this case, some of
the links of the chain of circum stances
which had rendered it possible to trace
the people through whose hands the
stolen bank-note had passed had been
of the slightest, and had threatened on
more than one occasion to part. Yet.
by a concurrence of purely fortuitous
events, they had not done SO; but, on
the contrary, the chain held together
so strongly as to bring an offender to
justice, after so long a period had
elapsed since the commission of the
crime, that the criminal doubtless sup
posed himself quite safe from detection.

New Lines in Montana.

HELENA, NJ t., March 9.-This town is the
center of what promises to be stubborn rail-
road fight, and the prospect makes every shipper
happy. During last January the Montana Cen
trail railroad was incorporated to build local
line to open local silver and coal mines. The
Northern Pacific has shown some opposi-
ton to this enterprise, and contemplates
rival lines, but has not yet commenced active
work upon them. The Montana Central COM
menced active. operations as soon as it was in
corporated. They surveyed their line during
the coolest weather and deepest sn ow of the
winter. and are now building the road. Local
feeling is strongly in favor of this
enterprise, and will resent any opposition,
as it will bring cheap coal to Helena
and Butte the great mining centers of the Terri
tory, and largely reduce the expense of gold and
silver mining. A short time ago the citizens of
Helena invited Chief Engineer BARCLAY, of the
Canadian Pacific, TO visit them, and it is now
proposed to connect the Canadian Pacific with
this coal road. This will make Helena
the center of profitable ralroadine jn
Montana. The citizens of the Territory are
very anxious to see this connection made, as it
will insure cheap transportation rates and relieve
them from the monopoly that now exists. The
Canadian Pacific will be dangerous competitor
of the Union and Northern Pacific. as it was
built by government aid, and having no interest
to pay, and it's own connecting ocean steamers,
can afford to transport cattle. ores, bullion and
other freight at rates much lower than the other
roads do,
