Bu1wer Lytton as a Dandy.

Until his death in disagreeable old age,
Bulwer Lytton (then Lytton Bulwer)
posed as a dandy and imagined himself
man of exquisite taste In dress. He

gold and jewels and fashy waistcoat,
but he didn't carry them well, as Willis

ton Bulwer was announced, and enter

my mind how he should look, and be-
tween prints and descriptions thought I
could scarcely be mistaken in my idea of
his person. No two things could be more

Railway Cars in RussIa.

The Russian railway cars are made Of
iron throughout-the walls, the roof. the
floor AID the partitions. Even the win
dow sashes are made of metal. There is
no wood about them except the finish
ings, which strikes one as good idea,
particularly since the holocausts that
have recently occurred on our railways.
The plates are not more than half an
inch thick, so that the cars are light as
well as substantial, and there is no rat
ting sound. When the plates get loose
I suppose they are taken to the shops and
frightened.
The exterior is painted an indigo blue
and handsomely vanished, but there is
no superfluOus decoration. The interiors
are luxurious, the walls being covered
with white silk brocade, and the long
sofas, which extend across the compart-
ments at right angles with the car, being
upholstered in the richest Russia leather.
The sofas are as comfortable as Turkish
easy chairs, and when one sinks down
into them he thinks of the hot and hard
seats he is accustomed to at home The
second class cars are finished in plush, in
a similar way, only the sofas have parti-
tons so that one cannot lie down, and
there is ordinary paper on the walls. The
third class cars are perfectly plain, with
seats running lengthwise and uncush-
Toned, like cars of the elevated railroads

A Few odd Nick Names.

odd you ever notice, inquired law.
yer, THAT in nearly every occupation
the capable worker has a nick name for
the bOtcher who is engaged in the same
business? Take my business for an illus
tratiOn. The first class lawyer is called
an attorney or counselor, while the 'ne'r-
do-well' is termed a shyster. At sea an
incompetent sailor is called marine; oD

''All the terms are used in reproach to
to make a distinction between the good
and the bad worker. To call a sailor q
marine is worse than calling him muir

pants of the forecastle marine, the I'M

but to seaman who tries to shirk his

courts, too, for recall an instance when
a Capt. Murray, in an angry mood, called
a lawyer of San Francisco q SINISTER.
The lawyer began action against the cap

that he did not call the attorney a shy

Beet Root Sugar in Europe.

A continental authority has calculated
that the production Of sugar from beet
root grown in Europe during the year
1887 will show very decided reduction
on the previous year. From the figures
for the past year-wh;ch are, of course,
more or less pproxinate-it is calculated
that 275, 900 tons less of beet root has
been grown In the beet root growing
countries of Europe during 1887. than in
1886. The decrease ID not confined to
one country, but is general, the single
exception being Belgium, which has, it is
estimated, produced 100000 tons last
year, as against 81, 900 tons in 1885. In
Germany and Austria the decrease
amounts in each country to about 100, 600
tons. Russia shows a diminished pro-
duction of $4,000 tons, while France,
more fortunate, comes within a few
thousand tons of the previous year. The
total production OF beet root in 1886 was
1926, 900 tons, and last year it is esti-
mated the crop did not exceed 1850, 600
tons.-Chicago Times.

Remarkable Intelligence OF IA
Horse.

A novelty story comes from Van
derburg Co, Indiana. A day or two
ago q horse was standing tied to a
fence in the yard of the Sunny Side
Coal Company, in that county. A
drunken man was staggering around
that neighborhood, and in moment,
of drunken frenzy took out his peck
et-knife, and, seeing no one around
on whom to vent his spleen, he walk
ed up to the horse and deliberately
plunged the blade into the dumb
brute's neck. The cash was long
one and quite severe, and the blood
flowed from the wound profusely.
The horse writhed in agony, and its
struggles the hitching reins and ran
out of the lot. The horse kept up
it's speed down the road until it came
to drug store on Fulton street,
owned by Jenkins IL Kyle. The
animal stalked into the drug store
deliberately, and went as far back as
the prescription case, and set up a
most pitiful neiging. The clerk
was alarmed, but spoke gently to the
animal, and taking sponge bathing
the ugly wound in cold water, mach
to the relief of the brute, The pro-
prietor, then sewed up the wound
and tied band around the animals
neck. The horse was then led back
to the yards, seemingly happy and
contented. Mr.. Kyle is positive in
the assertion that this is the neatest
case of brute sagacity on record, and
points to the blood spots on the floor
of his store as proof.
