TIE RAILWIYS OE INDI.I.

Come idea of the value and import
ance of the Indian railway system, with
its connected steamer services. may be
gathered from the fact that the capital
sunk in these undertakings is estimated
at e161, 917, $40 OF this large sum the
Government has spent directly esq.,
255,391. The capital outlay Of guaran-
teed companies stands at Ell, O32, 1888
and that Of the assisted" companies at.
e3,90S. 232. Native states-the princi-
pal in this respect being Mysore and
Hyderabad-ar responsible for an out
lay of G4,S21,379 on lines within their
territories. When the construction of
railways in India was first mooted there
We're some who warned the projectors
that caste prejudices would prevent the
natives from using them; but it is an
astonishing fact that last year Indian
railways carried no fewer than S0,S64,-
779 passengers, who paid for their fares
e5, 53S, 1876 In 1854 the number of
passengers was 1885, 119, and their
freight was valued at e5,O70,764. The
chief income of most railways, however,
is derived from the goods traffic, and in
this respect the Indian lines yield more
than double the receipts obtained from
passengers. No less than 1925, 1856
tons Of goods were carried, the receipts
from which amounted to ell, 915, 1915.
Both the tonnage transported and the
returns show an increase over the
figures of the previous year, which was
credited with goods traffic of 16,633,
OO7 tons and receipts therefrom amount
ing to E1O, 565, 941.--Lond0n Times.

EXPECTATION REDUCED TO 4
SCIENCE.

The sci eme Of Delsarte, like many
another philosophic system, ignores
alike the sportive tendency i'll nature,
and the mperious and self-contained
spirit of 6 nius. 1t loses the individual
in the mass. The harmony and ex-
preston OF dramatic action cannot be
taught by any system built up by the
patient observation of dry facts, and
it is absolutely inaccurate to style the
mute, and often more expressive por-
ton Of an actors Interpretation "uni-
versal language" communicable to all
by the gifted elocutionist. The panto-
mime of gesture employed by dis
tressed tourists, or bewildered travellers
is the only form Of universal language"
that may be said to exist, and this
comes naturally to the children Of men,
and needs no professors Of the art.
The well-known story that tells how
Cooke, the actor, one experimental on
an unsusceptible individual by express
ing the whole gamut of human emotion,
and how his facial skill was misread,
demolishes the Delsartian theory. The
most that elocutionists can effect is to
correct errors, and to mitigate defects;
they do not possess the secret key to a
royal road of ultimate success. They
are nothing, OF worse than nothing, if
they profess to be more than trainers
of awkward youth, and only in this
limited sense are their efforts likely to
prove OF educational value. Genius
will ever be superior to the theories Of
the schools. Great orators and actors
are not to be bound by the petty dog
mas of Evolutionary drill; it is their
prerogative to laugh at first principles,
and to defy the Delsartian professor.
Tradition, it is true, has exercised con-
siderable influence on the stage, and in
all the more prominent Shakespearean
parts certain amount OF business
has become stereotyped; but this is
something very far removed from the
results that would follow if nature and
art succumbed to the reign Of law Of
the illustrious Delsarte. -SatuTu0y

y very few braided wool dresses have
appeared among the late designs which
are worthy OF notice as being in pretty
colors and combinations. Fine finished
hannels in similar plain cloth is the
material used for all braiding, and the
praldlns itself is fine, and used in two,
thfee, and even four tones in the same
design. A dark-brown dress is braided
IN brown of three lighter tones with a
very little cream colored braid intro
duced here and there in the more promi-
nent parts Of the pattern. A dark-blue
dress is prettily braided with white and
ashadc of blue lighter than the dress ma
terlal, There is only one model for
these braided dresses, and that has a
plain skirts with braided border set
above moderately deep hem. The
braided borders vary in width, the av-
erage being about eight inches across.
The drapery is disposed high upon one
side and low upon the other, falling
in the back in more pronounced point.
The bodice is finished with braided
cuffs and collar, and braided pieces on
the shoulders and on the postillion
tails. The more chevoits and tweeds
resemble the cloth used for mems suits
the more fashionable, as tho tailor suits
are to be even unusually masculine this
season. The heavy tweeds which show
an ingenious mixture of bright threads
over dark groundings in patterns
neither aggressive nor loud are es-
pccially in demand. These are made up
in the simplest styles with straight
draperies, not distorted into unmeanine
folds, and flat braid bindings and fin.
ishings Of small tailor, OF equally plain
and transformations bone, buttons.
High close collars, rolling over flat,
are preferred, and the closed sleeves
are finished with cuffs to correspond.
The outside jackets worn with these
dresses are all silk or satin-lined and
braid finished, and are cut in strict
tailor fashion. Some Of the handsome
new morning gowns are made with the
wide-fowing sleeve Of many years ago
A single piece forms this entire sleeve
which extends only an inch or two be
low the elbow at the seam on the inne1
side. The lining should be silk il
some contrasting color, and the efiec
against white rounded arm is particu
larly pretty.

Wings. One day, shortly after he be-
came President. one of the secretaries
had sent notices to fifteen of the clerks
employed in the department of which
he was the head that their services
would not be required any longer by
the Government. Jenny Maher. the
public gardener, heard of this whole
sale official decapitation, and, seeing
Mr. Tyler soon afterward on the por-
tico of the White House, went to him
and stated the case. The President
Immediately sent for the Secretary, who
came, bringing with him, as authority
for what he had done, the record of the
political tergiversations of each dis
missed clerk, "That's all very we'll"
said President Tyler, when he had
heard the Secretary's Indictment, "but
you must restore these men. If YOU
don't, l shall have their wives and
children coming to me with sad stories
OF their starvation, and lam determined
not to take part in making people
wretched" The dismissed clerks were
accordingly reinstated. The great
number of Wings who had swarmed
from Virginia into Washington at the
inauguration of Harrison, in search of
offices, and who had not been successful,
when Mr.. Tyler became President We're
very importunate. Prominent among
them was "Old Dade," as he was called
by all who knew him, who was born
AngaElle spot made famous by the sur
;endM of CORVALLIS, and who was an
applicant for the position of warden of
the district penitentiary. Before he
received his appointment President
Harrison died, and "Old Dade" then
began to importune his successor. One
day Mr.. Tyler said: "Dade, 1 should
like to appoint you, but they tell me
that YOU drink too much" els that all
they say about me?" responded Dade.
Mr.. TYLER smiled, and observed, at
think, in all conscience, that is enough. I"
"No, sir!" answered the indignant
Dade. "When people talk about me 1
want them to tell the whole truth, sir
They should have told you, sir, that
there is no gentleman in the city of
Washington so thirsty as am" Mr..
Tyler, III the goodness OF his heart,
could resist no longer, and cold Dade"
was commissioned warden of the peni-
Tertiary. When he took charge, he
had all the convicts called up, and
made this brief speech to them: "Boys,
I'm your boss. If you'll behave your
selves like gentlemen Til treat you as
such, but if you don't. I'll turn every
mothers son of you OUT"

CUSHING'S MANUAL IN THE PULPIT.
A young man in this city, who had
been prominent in lyceums and semi
secret societies, and whose strongest
point his friends thought was the very
natural and easy way in which he
grasped parliamentary usage, recently
began studying for the ministry, and
progressed so far that he was invited to
take charge on a certain Sunday of the
services in suburban church where
the minister had gone On his vacation.
"Hell be a shining light without a
doubt" said his friends. But somehow
when the young man came to get up in
church to open the services he felt
himself all at sea, and didn't know what
in the world to do. So he provided for
all possible contingencies by inviting
one of the Deacons to sit up in the
pulpit with him, where he could be on
hand to prompt him if any knotty
question arose. After the young student
had pronounced the invocation, and the
choir had got up Of its own motion and
sung voluntary, and chapter Of the
Bible had been read, the young man
turned little uncasily to the Deacon.
"Hymn 1885," whispered the Deacon.
The young man rose again with great
confidence and said: "It is moved and
seconded that hymn No. 499 be now
sung. AS many as are in favor of the
motion will signify it by saying aye"
An awe-struck silence fell upon the
congregation. Contrary minded, no,
said the presiding officer. ut is vote,
he went on. The hymn was sung, and
the services proceeded from that point
like clockwork. 1t was evident that
the young parliamentarian felt the
ground firm under his feet.-Bosto1o
