The Devil and Tom Walker.

You may ask, who was Tom Walker?
He was Boston man. who was meaner
than the devil, as was proved in this
wise: According to Washington Irving,
our American Walter Scott, Tom
Walker was a Boston usurer who formed
partnership with the devil to discover
Captain Kidd's treasure and open
brokers' office in Boston on condition
that they should divide the profits for
long term of years, at the end Of which
time Tom was to deliver himself up,
heart, body and soul, to the devil as
part Of the contract. Tom had won
derful run Of business and made i'm
mense sums Of filthy lucre, but some
time before the contract expired he was
driving such hard bargain with poor.
helpless debtor that the devil himself
got enraged that any one should be
meaner than he was, and in his wrath
full indignation he mounted big black
horse during dark, bowling storm,
dashed up to the brokers' office, and,
snatching Tom by the hair Of the head,
bore him off to hell. When man is
phenomenally successful and adroit in
any business that requires subtlety and
skill, we say she beats the devil and
Tom Walker"

Science.

An important discovery Of rare metals
has been made by German chemist,
DIR. Strohecker of Frankfort. Somewhat
extensive diluvial deposits Of brick clay
at Hainstadt, near Seeligenstadt. The
bricks made from this clay vary consid-
erably in color, according to the temper
AZURE at which they are burnt, but the
cause Of the variation has never before
been suspected. 1t now appears that
the layers of this clay are singularly rich
in several metals hitherto very scarce,
particularly cerium, glucinum, lantha-
mum, didymium and ytrium. The first
two of these metals are present in such
quantities that more abundant supply
may be expected. Ceria, in the form Of
hydrate, constituted "a and 1874 per
cent of the clay in two layers analysed,
and the celor OF the bricks seems to be
mainly determined by its presence, for
the quantity Of iron present was very
tall. The discovery is therefore of
mediate value, and will doubtless lead
its further researches on the elements,
which may prove to have much more
Importance in the economy Of nature
than has been supposed.
In the course of a lecture on "Univer-
sal Time" recently delivered by the
astronomer royal OF Great Britain, Mr..
w. III. Christie. high compliment was
paid to the railway managers of the
United States and Canada for having re-
duced the number of local times from 70
to five, by adopting the five standard
meridians. The scheme of hourly meri-
dians, however, could only be consid-
cred provisional arrangement, which
would ultimately lead to the adoption of
universal time, for which he thought the
name "world time" would be the best.
The "world" day would commence at
Greenwich, midnight, and count from 0
b. to "a h. Among the authorities cited
by Mr.. Christie in support Of the 2i
hours system was that Of DIR. Norrin
Green, President of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, who considered
that, in addition to diminishing risk of
errors, it would save the cost OF l50, 600,
600 letters annually.

Editor San Antonio Light.
The Main plaza occupies something
like a central position in the compact
and business portion of the city. 1t is
quadrangular in shape; a rectangle Of
about equal sides; hence what is called
square. On two sides there are fine
stores of merchandise, with saloon or
two just to set off appearances; and an
industrial shop or two, teaching useful
lessons by example. st. Leonard's
hotel is midway OF the southern side of
this plaza; and the venerable San Fer
nandO cathedral is at central point on
the western side, massive, lofty and
stately eGifice; dingy, stern and grave
of look; seeming to speak Of things too
solemn and sacred for flippant tongue
or rapid pencil. Hon. John A. Green,
formerly of Austin, and brother of Cen
erai Green of gallant Confederate
memory, has his office on the south side;
also Hon. A. j. Evans, eX-United States
District Attorney, has his law office in
the French building on the southeast
corner of this plaza. Much might be
said of the many historic events; of
causes and their consequences; of pres
ent relations, and of ancient memories,
dating back to the early Spanish begin
nings End the Mexican part in the early
struggles of this city, bearing the name
of the hOnored saint in the calendar of
the church. But merely limiting at vast,
trodden or untrOdden fields of thought,
the reader is left to his own Imagination
to fill up and draw the many pictures,
of which only hints can just now be
given.
A very few days since, nine elegant
hacks, with magnificent, rolling, two
horse teams, and drivers laZily lounging
on their seats, but carefully looking out
for a passenger, were on this plaza in
waiting for business. There were also
IL twO-hOrse wagons, and l6 express
wagons of one-horse power, all alike
waiting for something to do in their
seemingly oyer-crOwded line of business
at this season of the year, under the
strikes or striking circumstances that
might be enumerated. There was such
eagerness Of importantly to give them a
touch or taste of patronage, that 1t was
hardwork to count them, and, indeed,
the assistance of an intelligent gentle
man among their number was gladly
accepted in this arduous undertaking.
All these were on the north half of the
plaza, being engaged in attention to this
half, the ether half, with whatever of
dreamy or visionary idleness may have
characterized its then do-nothings, es-
capped observation. PILGRIM.

TEN YEARS AGO, on
December 10th, 1875, The
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS
was founded. 1t was the pio-
neer Of low-priced journalism
in the west. From the first
the controlling conviction of
its managers has been that a
cheap paper" should be
cheap only in price; that its
news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discus
sion as able, and its general
tone and character as pure
and healthful as its best and
highest-priced contemporary.
This has been its ideal. How
we'll it has succeeded in the
actual attainment Of so high
a standard is best evidenced
in the fact that it now regu-
larly prints and sells over
10000 papers day,-a lar
ger circulation than that Of all
other Chicago dailies COM
The CHICAGO DAILY
NEWS is an INDEPEND-
ENT newspaper. 1t is not
partisan. Neither is it neu-
trail. 1t is paper Of positive
opinion, expressed without fear
or favor. 1t seeks the patron
age of people who love coun-
try more than party.
The CHICAGO DAILY
NEWS is the only cent
paper in the west that is a
member of the Associated
Press. 1t prints ALL THE NEWS.

but when American Charleston sp
peals to those who should be her dear
est friends, they turn cold shoulder
and declare that charity should liter.
ally begin at home and stay there.
A meaner snub was never pat upon
one asking for aims than that shown
Charleston by the London press.
With assumed ignorance the Echo
says 1t does not see Why the appeal is
made; the niggard Standard says the
appeal may meet with qualified reply ;
the same paper asks with blunt
cruelty. if Charleston really intends
to beg in England; while the Times,
which typifies England's manhood,
puts Charleston's appeal in its adver-
Using columns, and does not deign to
mention it.
1t was natural for the impulsive
Charlestonians to ask for English aid.
Living members of the English nobil-
ity bear Carolinian names. When
our civil war was in progress, En-
glishmen were as familiar in Charles
ton as the natives. and England gave
freely to South Carolina then.
Thank Heaven the United States
can take care of her own sufferers.
The north will not let Charleston be
the poorer because she appealed to
England and has been refused. On
the contrary, the snub to the whole
nation should stimulate every patriot
American to loosen his purse strings
still wider. Now We hope that the
south will see how little England
really is its friend, and, north and
south, Anglomania should become
more odious than ever.

In days, that we hope are gone to
come no more forever, the Ameri.
can stage was not in the best repute
since then it has been elevated and
purified by innumerable good men and
and women, and as people we are
proud of our theatrical institutions,
but if every "burlesque queen"
whom some cad or other with high
sounding title takes under his protc-
ton, is to be permitted place upon
it, some of the respect now had for it
will surely be blighted. Had Miss
Violet Cameron come quietly upon
her own merits as an actress had she
preserved a good name at home she
might have come here and people
could have patTonized her performan-
ces without blushing. IF it is popu-
lar in London for variety woman to
cut capers with noble lud, it seems
to us, that London is the place for
variety women to stay. One of these
days some American actors, who have
sand in 'em and who have a high re-
gard for the American stage, will pro-
test against the importation of these
strange women, decline to play on
the same stage and then America
will be free-from such evil inHuen.

1t was not alone Sentimental con-

that the consent of the convention,
was given in favor of women, as vel
as men signing the petitions to the next

we may, it is to the women alone,
the fact is due, that popular opinion

He is a mean man, snd a man of very

Because Martin Irons, for merry a
high official in the order of Knights of
Labor, has fallen into disgrace some
of the eastern newspapers whicE draw
their inspiration from Jay Gould are
endeavoring to distort that facL into
reflection upon the order Itself.
Nothing could be more unjust. irons
was blatherskite to begin with, and
he was repud'ated by a majority in
the order long before he exposed
his individual worthlessness to the
outside world. The knights of La
Dor are no more responsible for his
personal conduct than they are re-
sponsible for the conduct of man
who never saw the inside of a knight
of Labor hall.-St. JO.eph Gazette.
The above is wantoness of the worst
sort. Martin Irons would never have
been selected to manage the greatest
strike which this country has ever
known, had not the Knights of Labor,
in whose lodges he was familiar
presence, selected him or had they
deemed him a "blatherskite," as the
Gazette chooses to term him. AS for
his reputation by the Knights, he
was upheld and his course approved
of in such a marked manner, that it
was a question for wonder among
those who watched his career, until
it was understood that he pursued the
methods, which alone were popular
with the members of the "noble Or
der" There is no doubt, that Mas
ter Workman Powderly, on his own
memorable visit to Kansas City, ad-
vised the strike to be declared of,
but that this result was not advised
until the..cause, through the change
in public sentiment, was known to be
hopeless, is well known. There is no
more sense in placing the mistakes of
the strike altogether on Martin Irons,
than there would be of putting them
on Turner or any one OF the famous
Executive committee" The prepa-
rations for the strike, had been made
in the several lodges, for months be-
fore it took place, and the strike was
a foregone conclusion. That the
Knights of Labor were responsible
for Martin Irons conduct, needs no
other confirmation than this fact, and
had the strike been successful, he
would, to-day, have been hero TO
every Knight of Labor in the country,
because he had so we'll carried out in
structions. The strike was a failure,
despite of all that could be done, and
the Knights of Labor, although as
body, just as guilty as Martin Irons,
made him the scape goat, and thus
saved their own bacon. 1t is well to
give the devil his due now and then,
and also stick to facts, as the Gazette
should know.

Two fatal accidents, remarkable
from their similarity. occurred in New
Orleans recently. Felix Alvarez, twelve
years old, was playing with his adopted
sister, and, half in earnest, half in jest,

her. One of the blades struck her in
the left shoulder and penetrated the
axiliary artery, and the girl bled 10
death before q physician arrived An
hour or two later two negro boys quar-
