Street Temptations.

There are parents who were shocked
by the recent revelation ofvices in Lon
don, and yet who are unconscious OF
the fact that they are permitting their
own children to be exposed to the
same temptations that brought the
youth OF London to ruin. In every
city in this country it isusual to lind
the streets crowded in the evening with
young people-boys and giris-who are
treading dangerous paths. Any even
ing you viii, find boys at the corners
or lounging by the doors OF saloons
listening to the ribald talk OF those IN
side. These boys are in the nursery OF
crime. The ranks of criminals are be-
ing constantly recruited from this
class. They grow with marvellous
rapidity. Girls in their teens are
also found on the streets. You see
them going up and down or lettering
on the corners by twos or threes; girls
of respectable parentage, who perhaps
have their mothers consent to walk
out awhile, not knowing that frequent
" by their actions these young daugh-'
tiers are encouraging the familiar at
tentions of those scavengers OF the
devil, the male firts, whose notice mas
so often been the forerunner OF moral
degradation. Whenever q girl chafes
at the love guard which a mothers
anxiety throws about her she has
started on the downward course, the
end of which is a blasted home, a
mothers heart broken and a fathers
head bowed in shame. If fathers and
mothers wish to save their children
thew must make their homes happy
for the boys and girls within them,
and thus keep them out of the street.

Bismarck on Eloquence.
mark is mo- orator. His s

lark is no orator. His speech
simple and plain. He thinks that
Shs gift of eloquence has done great
deaf'of mischief in parliamentary life.
1t triesny appealing to the feelings to
settle questions which should be settled
by common sense, When the Fedral
Council began it's work few of the
members made eloquent speeches.
Gentlemen, said Bismarck, ssthere
is nothing to be achieved hore by elo-
quence, because everyone ofyoubrinos
his convictions along him in MS
pocket-that is, his instructions.
Oratory is only a waste of time. Let
us limit ourselves to statement of
facts"
Herr Lasker, whose death in this
country was the occasion of little
unpleasantness, once delivered an elo-
quent speech in the reichstag. "These
eloquent gentlemen" said Bismarck,
commenting upon the speech, "are
like good many ladies with small
feet, who always wear shoes too small
for them and stick out their feet to be
looked at. When man has the mis-
fortune to be eloquent, he makes
speeches too often and too long"
On another occasion, Radowitz, g
great orator, made speech in the
North German parliament, which SO
swayed the members that they were
ready to vote as he had urged them to.
One of Bismarck's colleagues, sitting
near him, was strongly moved by the
eloquence, and he shed tears.
"What are you crying about?" cool
ly asked Bismarck.
''You are heartless," answered the
colleague Indignantly. The next day,
when a copy of the printed speech was
placed in Bismarck's hand, he hand
ed it to the same gentleman, saying:
please point out to me the part of
the speech ought to have cried over
if possessed such a thing as a heart"
The gentleman looked it over and
then said:
~ don't know how it is, but the
speech does not make the same i'm
preston upon me in print The ora
tors voice, expression of face, and his
magnetic personality had carried the
colleague away.
Bismarck used to tell q humorous
story to illustrate the distracting eff
feet of eloquence. Frederick William
1.-the despot king who publicly whipped
his son, subsequently Frederick the
Great once listened to the pleadings of
two lawyers. After the first one had
finished his speech the king, moved by
the advocates eloquence, exclaimed:
"This fellow is in the right" The
second lawyer then spoke, and with
such effect that the king said: "This
man has the right OF it'll"
Then recalling that he had contra
dicted himself he fell into afurious pas
sion and sent both orators to prison.

The Heaviest Locomotive in Dem

From the Tribune Republican
Probably the heaviest engine ever,
run through this city NINETY tons)
laid over yesterday in the Denver and
Rio Grande lower yards, waiting for
last nights 9:55 train to take her to
Santa Fe. where she is to run on the
2OO-feet-to-the-mile, 24-mile-l long grade
between Trinidad, in Colorado, and
Ration, in New Mexico There is q
2,8OO-feet tunnel on this line, and on
this grade arerun the heaviest loeomo-
tives in the country. Two sixty-ton
engines are required to take a passen-
ger train of six coaches up the big
grade, one before and the other be-
hind, because if the engines were dou-
bled up should coupling break, the
cars might get beyond control and be
dashed to pieces down the grade. 1t
requires two hours and forty minutes
for the ascent; but descending, how they
do fly sometimes! making flying
switches that would sink the hearts of
the switch-house men at the New York
Grand Central Depot clear into their
boots.
No. S33 of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad, the locomotive in
question, came from Laramie City,
where she has been haulingfreight over
the heavy grade between Laramie and
Green River during the last sixty DAYS
to demonstrate the virtues of the
Wootten patent fire box, which is
specially arranged for burning waste
coal. Engineer E. j. Rauch says the
trial is 80 satisfactory that the Union
Pacific road will adopt the device, and
the Santa Fe road will try this engine
with the same end in view. The en-
gine-is rented out to roads wishing to
try her at $50 per day and ex-
penses, but the patent is ownedby the
Wootten Railroad Switch Company.
She came in from Cheyenne Tuesday
with train, but the Denver and Rio
Grande folks preferred to disconnect
and tow her over their line on which
she left last night,

Glimpse of an Attractive MUIR

II uerGTs
New York Correspondence Albany Evening
Journal.
Jere Dunn is one of the bad men of
Now York city. He is a man of irwin
chile courage, and gamblers and fight
ers of every degree are in absolutefear
of him. 1t isnot only because he killed
Elliott and Hughes, but because he is
known to be always armed, quick as a
flash, and utterly ignorant of the
meaning of the word fear. II Dunn
happened to be little more refined in
manner, he would be double of the
gambler John Oakhurst, whom Brete
Harte introduced in SO many of his
early sketches. He is usually called q
handsome man. Hehas asquareface,
a well-trimmed dark beard, parted in
the middle, and he always wears q
perfectly. fitting frock coat and
q high hat. The expression Of
his face is stern, alert and fixed.
He is as tranquil as a wooden Indian.
The first time the writer ever saw him
was Immediately after the killing of
Elliott in Chicago. A party was going
to prize fight in Flushing, and
among fifty or sixty persons present
there were about forty of the, toughest
citizens of New York. On the way
down to the grounds on the boat the
one subject of conversation was the
death OF Elliott, and vengeance loud
and deep on Dunn was pronounced
everywhere. 1t was said that he
would never dareto come to New York
again. While the crowd was waiting
for the principals to appear, there
was a rustic, a whisper and a move
ment among the toughs as their eyes
turned on Jere Dunn, who suddenly
walked in among them as calm, col
lected and unmoved as ever. He was
correctly dressed, evidently in admir-
able health, and he looked around at
the scowling faces without a trace OF
embarrassment or apprehension.

Rey. Or. Theodore euler Is venting .
Iittis OF his nervous activity IN an
English tour and, by way of relax
alton, preaching for Newman Hall and
Spurgeon in London. He also ATTENDED
q recent meeting of the Salvation
Army and thus records his impressions
in a letter to theNaw York Evangelist:
Havinga great desire to see Gen. Booth
the Napoleon of the slums-and his
gifted wife, I gladly accepted ticket,
and was kindly shown TO a seat on the
platform close to presidents chair.
The main body of the hall was packed
with most respectable class of people;
the large platform (rising nearly to the
ceiling) was packed with the leading
officers, members, and "Hallelujah
lassies" ofthe Salvation Army. Many
of these latter were not coarse girls
from the street, but bright, intelligent
looking young ladies. One of them
who sat talking to member OF Par
lament had one of the. handsomest
faces Ihave ever seen in England. Close
behind me sat the Converted Burglar"
in good suit of clothes, and he
joined in the singing with great unc-
ton. 1t was evident that / was
seeing the Salvation Army at its very
best. Presently, amid great round
of applause, Gen. Booth and his wife
mounted the platform. The generals
apparently a man of go, tall and
slender, and looks more like Ken
tuckian than Britisher; his profile.
resembles Stonewall Jackson's. Mrs.
Booth, who is the brain power of this
wonderful movement, has fine in
tellectual couutenance with superb
eye. Her speech was keen, logical, and
often truly eloquent, and would have
done credit to a member of Parliament.
The meeting opened with singing one of
the Salvationist hymns, to the ac-
compartment of a stupendous brass
band of nearly 100 pieces. The audi
ence joined in the chorus with tire
mendous effect. Itreminded me ofone
of our earlier "War meetings." and the
rousing roar of the hymns, with brass
instruments and drums, surpassed any
thing 1 ever heard at Mr. Moody's
mass-meetings. Gen. Boothgave a run
ming exposition of the hymn between
the verses; he has ready tact and afine
control of an audience. He called on a
young uniformed soldier of mis-
'Army" to pray, and he offered q
prayer of remarkablefervo and origi
nality, addressing the Almighty as
"You" and not as ''Thou," but with
no seeming irreverence. Then came a
solo hymn by a "Hallelujah lassie,"
with an immense volume of vocal and
instrumental chorus. The my
enough to raise the roof.

A Black Inventor

A recent issue of the Montgomery
IVA Messenger contains the following:
MINIS Haden, worthy colored
blacksmith of this place, has lately in
vented one of the most ingenious and
valuable devices we have ever seen.
Being q poor man and unable to en-
ploy hand as striker, he cast about
how he might do by machinery what
heretofore conld be done only by the
hand of man. The result ofhis cogita-
tions is piece of very simple machin-
cry by which the striking hammer is
easily and effectively worked by his
foot, while he has both hands free to
hold his iron and use the small ham,
mer. To listener the blows come as
naturally and as rapidly as if there
were two men handling the hammers
in the old-fashioned way, but there is
a difference. The machine, by an easy
motion of the foot on the treadle,
strikes a harder blow than any man
can strike, and can be made at will to
strike as light blow as may be needed.
But the use of this simple and cheapde-
vice in the blacksmith's shop is not
half. It can be just as easily used land
will find a large field of usefulness, in
driving a drill for blasting rock. In
it's present form, without any change,
one man can drive drill perpendicu
larly as easily as three men now do the
same work. By very simple and
easy plan hammers can be provided
and attached, which will make it just
as easy to drive a hole horizontally
or at any required angle, and the
whole work can be done by one man.
The machine is portable and need not
be very heavy. Mr.. d. w. FrizzeA has
become part owner ofthis invention,
A cayeat has been secured, and Mr..
Frizzelkis expecting to receive apatent
as soon as>the papers are made out.
