the Pullman Car conductors for

served section In In the Car. Mr..
Douglass was informed by this
prejudieed white man that every
sec ion in the Car was taekn.
Senator Elmunds who was in
the same car, called to a coIored
porter whose name the BEE could
not get, aud asked him if Mr..
Douglass was refused on account
of his color, His answer was
enough to convince Senator
Edmunds that the white eonduc-
tor refused Mr.. Douglass on
account of his color, The colored
porter however told Mr.. Douglass
to telegraph TO Charlotte N. G., for
the section said to have be N
reserved, which was granted after
the arrival of Mr.. Douglass at
this place. When Senator Ed

Domestic Things Made Musical.

There is a store on Broadway where
almost everything tnat enters into the
household economy of people Keeping
houses or living in apartments is sub
ected through Swiss inventive genius
into supplying musical airs.
The very chairs people sit on IN par
! lors and dining rooms are maze, aIter
two seconds manipulation, to give forth
an air from the latest opera that VIII
keep on filing the room with melody
from eight to fifteen minutes.
The teapot or cotfeepot on the break
fast-table is rendered musical without
interfering with its customary duty TO
fill the cup. The bird suspended by 'he
window resembling robin red breast
nerched in beautiful gilt cage VIII,
! thourh not a native of the wild woods,
sing quite as we'll and accurately, inspired
Inv the musical machinery within its tiny
anatomy.
Plates and dishes can be made to play
! tunes during meal hours and the Dou-
! uuet of flowers on the centre OF the taole
can have a bird precisely like one I'm,
ported from the Hartz Mountains, called
a canary, which will sing with sweet ana
dulcet notes.
Billiard balls, painted red, white, ana
blue, are turned into fountains o. music
Ladies' toilet cases are converted INTO
music boxes without in the last degree
encroaching on the space required lor
perfume and powder-holders aad the
other requisites of lady's dressing-case:
In a glass inside the store is a PAIR OF
imitation gTeyhounds, and pair OF ele-
phants true to life, and these are simply
musi,-boxes in disguise, and so is the
monkey who smokes "A ciGa cite while he
also plays the latest air from one of the
minstrel shows.
The smallest music-boX is about the
size of mans average sized timepicce,
and plays an air as clearly and accurately
as one ten times as big. The price Of
this is So cents, and the next largest,
playing two tunes, S1.S5.
The large boxes, which wind up by
lever and are kept in motion by power
ful springs, range in price from Sl5 to
$50. Those with bells in sight from $50
to 500, according to size; with bells,
drums and castanets in sight, $50 to
1925.
In addition to all the rest of the things
made musical are water and milk pitch
ers. cuspidors, frames of paintings hang
inc on the walls, dolls, saucers, and
stands for teapots and dishes. .-Ne'o Ior6

TO THOSE ABOUT TO MARRY.
Not Always is Happiness to be Found
Among the Wealthy.

A friend of mine, who is married
gentleman, said to me the other day: 81
would advise any young man to remain
single uutil he is in possession of sal
ary of at least $25 q week. 1t is almost
impossible to keep house on less. House
rent, fuel and other essentials come
high, and o young man who only earns
SIS or $40 a week must necessarily run
behind. He can live quite comfortably
on $15 week if he is single, but let
him attempt to support wife, and per
haps a family, on this sum, and he will
see where the ends will meet"
Ny friend is either spendthrift him
self or he has an eXtravagant wife. II
he expects every young man to wait
until he receives $25 week before he
marries he will soon see the population
of the world dwindle down to the same
number it contained before Adam and
Eve began their existence. Married
people can live and do live comfortably
on $15 week, and sometimes less. In
many instances q man never begins to
amount to anything until he is married
and has wife to help him over the
sloughs of dependency. 1t is often the
encouragement, frngality and energy of
a wife that enables a man to acquire
wealth.
The very great majority of the married
wealthy men of the nation married while
they were poor, and if asked, they will
say that their riches must be accredited
as much to their wives rs to themselves.
If my friend thinks it essential that a
married couple should have three or
four servants, attend the opera six times
week, ride in carriages, etc, then his
advice is good, only young man
should have $25 a week. The happiest
families are not always the wealthiest,
and young man, if he can get good
wife (and there are plenty of them, had
better get her, even ifhe is receiving less
than the stipulated sum of my married
economist.

Wages For Life From a Railroad.

A locomotive engineer on train en-
tering the city of Constantinople,
Turkey, December -, 1885, on reaching
the depot was frightened to see a Num-
Der of freight cars on the track. lie was
in agony of terror, but succeeded IN
stopping the locomotive in time to pre-
vent mishap. In consequence of the
terrible excitement he suffered he fell il!
and became unable to continue his occu-
patton. The company discharged him.
lie brought suit of damages against
the company for payment of his full
wages of $52 month during his life
time. to be secured by a capital of $l2,-
500, which was to be deposited with
the court. The suit was carried through
all the three stages, namely, the Aus
TRAN Consulate at C0nstantinople the
Superior Court of Trieste and the SUI
preme Court of Vienna, Austria. The
engineer was awarded $16 a month by
all the courts, because his loss of health
was caused by a mishap beyond his power
to control, and for which, therefore, the
company must be held responsible. -

A Name of Hl-Omen.

After considerable reflection the Sec
retary of the Navy has decided to name
cruiser No 5, the contract for which has
recently been awarded to the Union Iron
Works, the San Francisco, after this
city. Although it is fattering to the
nOn-nautical public to have the new
nineteen knot cruiser named after the
metropolis of the West, yet the name is
regarded with certain amount of SUI
perstitious fear by sailors. The reason
of this is that four vessels bearing that
name have been lost either by founder
ing at sea or by being cast ashore. One
of the latter, the Pacific Mail steamer
City of San Francisco, lost off the coast
of Lower California, is fresh in the
memory of the residents of this city.
"Secretary Whitney ought to have
taken warming by the fate of the British
gunboat Wasp" said an old sailor to n
reporter yesterday. "She was named
after gunboat that was lost Just three
years before on the coast of ireland, and
naturally came to grief also, though as
good a boat as ever was launched, and it
is lust as true that there are unlucky
names in ships as in families. I've lost
three sons, one after the other, all be-
cause [ let a foolish mother name them

couldn't think of more suitable and

An IIluStriOus Skinflint:

Another illustrious skinfint is coming
as such to the front. mean the Prince
of Monaco. That sovereignlet, I need
hardly say, has followed the example OF
the Landgravine of Hesse, the Dukes OF
Nassau, the Grand Dukes of Baden, and
the Princes of Waldeck Pyrmont in max
ing money out of a hell. His gambling
concession to the Monaco Company and
his share in the profits of the roulette
tables bring him in, and have brought
him in for years, an income that amounts
ON an average to e600 day. He is q
widower, blind, keeps up no sort of style
or state at his country seat of LIE Mar
chais or at his hereditary palace of Mon
AGO, and has but one son and a grandson
to provide for, [ do not suppose he
spends $4,000 year.
"Well, when last winter earthquakes
shook the Riviera, Monaco not escaping,
the first thought of the Prince and his
partners was to keep their source OF
wealth up to its usual money producing
mark, so they caused kilograms to be
sent to the newspapers everywhere to
make believe that as the earthquake did
not trouble Monaco, gamblers need not
stay away in dread. 1t was only when
things had got back into the old rut, and
the roulette tables were in full swing,
that any thought was given to the vic
tins of the earthquake, and means re-
sorted to for clearing up shattered houses.
A subscription was set on foot, which
the Prince was asked to head, and he
led off with a sum of e4O0-less than a
single days income: He stipulated,
,,,noo,-o, +bo+ half-namely 5000
was to be spent at Mentone, on his own
estate there, town which once was
under his sway, and in which he has
still valuable property. The sovereignty
of Mentone he sold for G160,000 to Ma
poleon lila sum represented by per
petual income from France of $4,000 a
wear out of the per cents. The Casino,
or He'll, Company was much more liberal
than the blind old Prince. il su bscrlbed
91 400, which is less than days profit
on one of the six roulette tables, and
this is to be recouped (and more) by an
other table. ."-INOdern Society.

TIE LITTLE BELL IN THE
HEART

My heart keeps knocking all the day!
What does it mean? what would it say?
MY heart keeps knocking all the night!
Child, hast thou thought of this Alright?
So long it has knocked, now loud, now low
Hast thou thought what it means by knock
ing so?
My child, It's a lively little bell,
The dear Gods gift who loves thee we'll;
On the door of the soul by him It's hung,
And by his hand it still is rung;
And he stands without, and waits to see
Whether within he will welcome be;
And still keeps knocking in hopes to win
The welcome answer, s'Come in, come in!'
So knocks thy heart now, day by day;
And when its strokes have died away,
And all its knockings on earth are DER,
1t will knock itself at heavens door,
Aud stand without, and wait and see
Whether within it will welcome be,
And hear Him say, ''Come, dearest guest;
found in thy bosom holy rest;
As thou hast done, be it done to thee;
Come into the joys of eternity"

The Female Captain.

Some years ago-that is to say, about
four or fve-there was small steamboat
plying on the Mississippi River and
O hcered by a certain Captain Miller.
He was still young man, though IN a
responsible position, and was bat lately
married. SO fond of his wife, moreover,
that he could not bare to leave her aC
home. as did the other river captaius,
but carried her back and forth with HIM,
trip after trip, between New Orleans
and Memphis. She grew Ill time quite
familiar with his duties, and during a
sudden illness OF her husband assumed
command of the boat, ard managed her
so we'll that the mates and rOustabouts
,cnuired a wholesome respect Tor hef
authority and Judgment. Later the
husband died, and having nothing but
his salary as captain and part owner.
sbin in the boat, the widew found herself
under the necessity of doing something
for her living. Such thing was quite
without precedent, but she went before
the proper authorities, passed search
inc examination as to her qualifications
and was permitted to assume the COM
mand of the boat, under the title of Capt.
Mary Miller. She has retained the
nosition ever since, finally securing en-
tire ownership of the little steamer, and
is a great favorite all along the line OF
ports that lie between the two points OF
her route. Now there IS company
playing in Boston little steamboat
drama, entitled "Capt. Mary Miller,
founded upon the stirring experience OF
the first female steamboat captain.
