The THIRTEEN TREES planted by Alexander
Hamilton at the Grange, now bounded by One
hundred and Fortieth and One Hundred and
Forty-ffth streets, New York, were named by
him in honor Of the thirteen original states.
They are owned by w. H: De Forest, who pur-
chased the Grange inIS79 for S3l2,0O0 which
was regarded then as almost fancy price, but
which now would hardly pay for more than a
few OF the lots into which the property has
been divided.
FAME is ieeting, and Chairman Quay is wise
enough torealize this. He has received much
hattery from his friends In Washington. but it
has made no impression on him. Senator
Chandler was praising him few days ago.
Your fame will be more firmly established
membered as''-- Stop exclaimed Quay.
"Can you tell me, Chandler, who was chairman
of the republican national committee eight
years ago Z" why, certainly, it was-let me
see-Oh! yes-wen 1 declare''-- Quay smiled

Marshall Jewell. VINO will recall Quay few
years from now? fE4g
TIE DUCHESS UzEs, q French lady who may

dead, who made love to her in her early girl
mood. she Is not alone among French women
of rank who are artists. The Baroness Nathaniel
de Rothschild counts among the most dis.
tinguished watercolor art SITS OF the day: the
Duchess de Luynes is equally famous, while the
Princess Amedee de Broglie is good both at por-
celain painting and wood carving, and is, more
over, exceedingly skilful at embroidery and
tapestry work Among other adopts In needle
work are tho Princess Czartoryska, daughter of
the Duke de Nemours.
OF the late Hail Nc Allister, the eminent Cali
fornia lawyer, writer said few years ago:
The court room is for him place of earnest
work. lie rests only when court takes recess,
and from the beginning TO the end of a trial he
is writing, reading, questioning, Directing,
arguing and appealing. In eliciting testimony
McAlster exhausts the information without
exhausting the patience OF the witness. He
never bores or insults. He never plays the
tyrant over timid witness and never leads a
rash one to his undong just for the love of the
thing; never figures in any of the discredtable
scenes in when lawyers and witnesses grapple
in wordy combat. Happily no leading lawyer
at this bar, recognized by the bar as such, is
addicted TO this sport. The manner OF Mr. Nc
Allister IN court AZ trial il, on the whole, adj.
mirable. lie Is cautious, but caution does not
fetter him. He Is rapid, but is never carried be-
yond his object. One of his most noticeable
habits Is 20 take down with his own hand all the
evidence OF the witnesses. Although Mr.. Nc.
Allister probably does more work than any
member OF the California bar, there II no one
who takes things easier or whom work hurts
less. He owes this In great measure 70 his
powers Of endurance and To his habit OF inyesti
eating and nethodiznR AT the same time. He
j. full OF life and energy, has naturally high
temper which he has under perfect control

Very Queer.
From the Ner YORK S,tn.

Herman, the magician, was standing with
some frien's at the Hoffman house last night,
when Marshall P. Wilder started to do trick
which hinged on a certain number. He turned
to Alfred Claggett and asked him to think of a
number between one and ten.
''Wait minute, said Mr.. Herman, land l
will put down the number that you select"
He took pencil and scrubbed the number on
the back of amenu card. Mr.. Claggett sat in
deep thought for moment, and finally said:
Seven
Herman turned themenu over and there was
the figure seven on the back of the card.
1T is not a trick, he said quietly. You will
find that every man will choose seven under the
same circumstances.
Mr.. Claggett turned to an adjoining table
where Col. Ochiltree sat and put the question to
hin. The colonel yelled seven in a loud ana
burly voice. Then Ed. Stokes and E. G. Gil
more came in rapid succession, and both chos
the same number. Townsend Percy and Tom
Burnside, of the London SAVAGE club, also Sc
lectad the same numeral, and for the succeed
ing halt hour no one broke the record.
''There is no explanation of it, said Mr..
Herman in conclusion. as he rose to go to din
ner. 1T is the habit of the human mind, moth
ing more"

Proposed America Asiatic Railway

The RdilUdy Age seriously discusses a
proposed railroad from New York t.
London, and it concludes that sucl a road
presents no engineering difficulties that
could not be overcome, and that il would
be successful from business standpoint.
Il goes so far as TO say that probably this
generation of Americans will have the
choice between land and water route to
Europe.
Starting from the western terminus Of
one of the transcontinental roads OF this
country, the proposed line would be con-
structed in northwesterly direction to the
narrowest part of Behring strait, which
would be crossed by ferry. In Siberia, IL
is thought that it would connect with a
road which Russia may eventually build 70
that part Of her possessions. A tunnel
could be cat under the English channel, or
the channel could be crossed by ferry, and
travellers could be landed in London after
having undergone journey Of $4,000 miles.
This" says the RaiiDdy Age, ''looks
like tremendous length Of line TO build,
and yet about an equal amount Of railway
mileage will probably have been built in
the year 1883 in the United States alone.
Allowing the moderate average Of twenty
Ave miles an hour, the trip from New YorS
TO London would take about twenty-three
days.
The Endorsement which the Rafii0ay Age
gives TO the scheme doubtless will direct
attention 70 IL. Wonderful feats Of engin-
eering have be m accomplished, and there
is no reason why still more wonderful ones
should not follow.

Not a Sign of a Break.

| The republican journals find great deal
of satisfaction in the fact that delegation
of the citizens of Birmingham, Ala, visited
| Gen. Harrison at Indianapolis day or two
ago and assured him Of their willingness TO
support his administration il he would
make such appointments in the south as
would tend to lift the Republican party in
this section into respectability. Some OF
these Journals are confident that this dele
CATION marked the beginning Of the break
ing up the solid south.
Are they hot expressing their hope rather
| than their belief, 1t is said that no one of
the Birmingham delegation voted for Mr..
| Clev Gland Half OF it was composed of
republicans, and the other half Of protec-
| ton dempcrats. The entire delegation was
made up of men who are interested in the
mining or manufacturing of iron, and are
| firm believers in the doctrine of protection
| They don't care, probably, anything about
| Gen. Harrison's administration, except in
50 far as it can be made to advance what
they believe to be their interests. They
| want the dem cratic party to remain in
control of state and municipal affairs, be-
cause it insures good government and they
favor republican control in national affairs
because the republican party is the party of
protection.
But very small part of the people of
Alabama mine and manufacture iron. The
great majority of them are poor, and
they want cheaper necessaries of life.
They don't want tariff laws which foster
monopolies and trusts, and which favor tie
rich and Cypress the poor, and in 1892 they
will b. as solidly in favor Of the democracy
as they were last month.
No, the pilgrimage of the Birmingham
iron manufacturers to INDIANAPOLIS did no.
mark the beginning Of the breaking up OF
the solid south. Il only indicated that mo-
uopolists and capitalists want Gen. Harri-
son to pursue course in making appoint
ments in the south that will not produce
discomfort. They want nothing to occur
that will interfere with their business en-
terprises They would like, of course, t.
see a strong Republican part. in the South
because it would strengthen protection, but
it is doubtful if they expect anything of
that kind. The republican journals are il
too much of hurry to have the solid south
broken up.

The Boss of the Next Administration
from the Ne,o York Sun.

Gen. Wallace in company with Capt. A. B.
Mattox OF Cincinnati, republican candidate for
eector at large this fall, who ran thousands of
votes ahead of his ticket, went to call on the
President-elect. When they got there the little
Benjamin, grandson of his grandfather, was
playing in the same room with the President
elect. After a while the little fellow found a
tack, and b gan to fonde it in manner sugges-
tive to grandfatherly mind of danger. The
President-elect hastily reached over ana took
the tack away from the child Benjamin, Jr.,
puckered up his mouth to cry.
NOW we'll see who is head of the next ad-
ministration, " said Gen. Wallace in an under
tone to Capt. MattoX.
Finding that threats or tears would not mo We
the grandfathers heart, the little fellow really
did cry, and that right Justify. The President
elect tried to continue the conversation with
his callers, but seemed to have missed his con-
nection, so to speak, and got branched off on
the wrong subject. In less than half a minute
he turned again to the child, drew it to him,
soothed him gently, and finally. upon an ap-
pearance- of a fresh outbreak Of woe, returned
to him the tack.
You see how it is, don't you?' said Gen.
Wallace in an aside to Capt. Mattox, while the
little Benjamin squatted contentedly upon the
floor and drove the tack into the carpet.

SomeWhat Remarkable.

1t will strike the public as being rather
remarkable, and, perhaps. little laugh
able, that the Chicago Tribune, which, in
IT'S recent attacks upon the south, advised
the colored voters of this section to resort 20
deeds Of violence in order to obtain the
political rights which, it alleged, are denied
them, should now say that the no tn fully
recognizes that the political trouble in the
south is one of races, that the northern peo-
pie understand that the whites of the south
10 not want the negroes TO make the laws,
levy the taxes, hold tie courts and rule
them, and that under similar circumstances
they probably would take the same posi-
ton.
II the people of the north would suppress
colored votes, if situated as the white poo ole
Of the south are, why is il that the Tribune
has gone on the war path every time it i'm
agined colored vote was suppressed in the
south
But remarkable as the Tiibune's state
ment is, il is less remarkable than the COM
promise which il offers, and which, rightly
interpreted, is that the southern democrats
shall suppress or throw out colored votes in
oral and STATE elections, but receive and
count them in national elections.
If it is wrong to suppress legal votes in
one election, it is wrong in all Nobody
will deny this. That is. nobody but the
editor OF the Tribune, who seems to think
hat it is wrong only when, according TO
his view, the suppression is by democrats
and works to the injury of republicans
Probably the Tribune will contend that
the republicans of certain northern states
did right when, in the recent election, they
committed frauds by which taey were bene-
flied.
From this time the Tribune may as well
cease its vaporngs Its loose code of morals
does not entitle it to hold the position of
censor of southern democrats.

Who Is Matthew Stanley Quay, anyhow
How did he manage to become the most
influential member Of the Republican party
He never did anything to benefit Pennsyl-
vana before he was elected to the United
States Senate, ana since his election he has
never advanced an idea that, if put into
execution, would benefit the country. He
certainly is not a statesman, and very nat
uraliy people are curious to know why he
was promoted so rapidly. The answer is
that be is a shrewd wire worker, who
knows how TO raise a campaign fund, aud
who has no conscientious scruples abou;
buying votes. He reflects no credit on mis-

Kentucky Colony Scared.

Washington Special Philadelphia Press.
A good story is going the rounds of the
Colorado colony here, but has not yet found its
way into print. 1t is about the Blackburn
Rucker affair. At the time challenee from
Rucker was expected somebody started the
story that Judge Ferrill of Colorado was en-
route east a bearer of Fuckers challenge.
John Atkins of Denver was in New York, and
on being questioned about this he told a re-
porter that Ferrill was man 6 feet in his
stockings, big boned, fierce fellow, who had
eaten up several men on the frontier, and that
if Blackburn refused to accept Fuckers chal-
lenge. or made use Of any saucy words, Ferrill
would instantly proceed to vindicate his princi-
pal by making mince meat of the senator.
Naturally Judge Ferrill's arrival was looked for
with a great deal of interest and some fore
5odings. He did come here few days ago.
and instead of the giant which he had been
represented to be, proved to be a weakened
little fellow, about feet inches tall, weighing
less than 100 pounds, and as meek as lamb.
