English and American Journals.

Perhaps the most striking contrast be-
tween English and American journals is
in the relative amount of space anotedsto
verbatim reports of speeches, discourses
and other addresses. Besides the room
given to parliamentary proceedings, there
are many columns in each issue of the
average English daily devoted to record
ing the utterances Of men, wise or other
wise.
"a The first qualification required Of q re-
porter In England is the ability to take
verbatim notes; and, looking over some
of the English papers, an American is In
clined to think It Is the only qualification.
The space given TO description in reports

vocal rrleks en enc stage.

There are several fixed rules-we might
almost call them tricks-for the produc-
ton of vocal sounds on the stage, the ac-
QUESTION of which Is Invaluable to the
artist. The abrupt force, for instance, as
1t is technically called, which distinguishes
Nine. Sara Bernhardt above all other
living actresses, and which consists of an
exceedingly rapid, yet distinct, utterance
of the words of her most passionate
speeches, beginning in a very low tone
with extraordinary swiftness, and ending
the phrase with q LOUD and vibrating eli
max, which gives N impression of inten-
sity and power well calculated to startle
the audience and rouse the greatest en-
thusiasm, is only IN acquired art-a trick
and simply the result of hard practice.
She herself has said that her quarrel
scene In "Frou Frou" took her many
months to learn. Her method Is to first
read the speech as she would like to event
ually speak it on the stage, but In an IN
dertone, as slowly as possible, pronounc-
ing each word with a long breath before
and after 1t. This exercise she by degrees
increases in rapidity until she has almost
~insensibly the habit of pronouncing the
sentence with what appears to the spec.
tator to be perfect whirlwind of inspired
passion.-Saturday Review.

As If Nothing Had Happened.

A few years after the war a gentleman
had occasion to visit Richmond with his
family, and living at the time in the
county of Patrick, fifty miles from any
railroad station. very few of the darkies
in that county had ever seen q railroad
train. A nurse was a necessary part of
the family equipage, and he had secured
the services of a coal black specimen,
about 10 years of age, who was as quick
witted as usual, but was as veritable a
Topsy as ever "growed." The party took
the train at the nearest station, md after
a few hours run a broken rail threw the
train off the track. Some of the cars
made a revolution down an embanlment,
and some were lodged on its incline at an
angle of forty-fve degrees. Great con-
sternation, of course. ensued; the men
were shouting and the women and chill
dren screaming. After great difficulty
our party scrambled out of the coach on
the steep incline of the embankment.
Finding no bones broken with wife or lit
tie one, the writer, who was surprised at
the placid, undisturbed appearance Of the
nurse, who, holding the baby In her arms,
looked upon tho scene as If nothing had
happened, said:
'Milly, were you much frightenedH"
mo, sab" she said; 81 thought it had
to stop that way."-Harper's Magazine.

A cable railway is to be built from
Caracas to La Guayra. Venezuela, under
special concessions from the Venezuelan
government. Caracas is the capital of
Venezuela and La Guayra is the principal
seaport of the republic. They are only
about sixteen miles apart, but are sepa-
rated by high mountains, which have
heretofore prevented easy communication.
1t is proposed to tunnel the mountains
and carry the cable road through the
tunnel. The company guarantee to finish
h road In three years. and to charge a
tariff varying from ninety six cents to
fifty-sevcn cents for each passenger

Paglnini purchased many other ~violins.
particularly several Stradavari. and was
continually buying and selling fine instru.
ments, but nothing could induce him to
part with his Joseph del Jesu" He kept
II constantly with him. and watched 1t as
a father might watch n delicate child.
Once it WINS sick, appearing suddenly to
lose all its quality. and he took it to
Vuillame, known as the most famous re-
pairer of 6ddles in Europe. The expert
said that 1t must be taken apart. Paga-
mini insisted that 1t must not go out of
his sight, and compelled the work to be
lone In his own apartments. Vuillame
told afterward that Paganini watched him
as he put in the knife and pried the deli
cate wood apart. and started at every
fresh thrust as though the knife were GO
ing into his own body. Afterward Vuil-
lame had to take it to his shop to put it
together. When the work was done
Paganini gave him a gold box set with
precious stones, which Paganini said was
exactly the same as one he had to give to
his physician, and that the doctor of his
body and the doctor of his violin were an
titled to equal consideration. The box
was worth several hundred dollars, prob
ably ten times as much as the original
maker received for the violin when it was
new.
While the violin was In his shop Vuil-
lame made measurements of its exact di-
mansions down to the very unevennesses
of'the varnish. and from these he subse-
quently made another violin hat was the
exact duplicate of P~aganini's, but when
the latter heard of 1t he Insisted that 1t
should be sold to him. INT SO no one ever
had a violin hke that of Paganini until,
dying, Paganini bequeathed the copy to
amillo Sivori, who has ever since PLAYED
upon 1T. Tho original violin Paganfni left
to his native city, Genoa, to be kept for.
ever in remembrance of him. It is kept
with scrupulous care, and only the most

A eye for an eye and a tooth for a

Confederate soldier describes an incident
which occurred during tho halt of his

bank that 1t would be amusing to take
careful aim at the man on the other side

laugh to see the fellow Jump and dodge,
and then try again He fired, laughed,
dropped his musket TO reload, and, while
smiling with satisfaction, heard the

pain in his arm.

walked back TO camp with his arm swing
