NEW YORK, March 22.-Mayor Hewitt
was overrun with visitors and letters
congratulating him upon his utterances
in favor of recognizing only the Ameri-
can flag. He said to a reporter that the
Irish were wrong if they supposed he
had any disregard for them. His record
In congress showed that he took a promi-
nent part in behalf Of Irish-American
prisoners in 1852, and against Minister
Lowell's course. In regard to the criti-
cisms of the G.. A. r., he said the services
of his firm during the war had been Off
cially recognized by the government. In
stead of making money out of govern
ment contracts, it was admitted that they
had practically thrown their foundries
open to the government. The govern
ment at one time could not buy sufficient
gun iron abroad. Mr.. Hewitt then went
to England, disguised himself as a work
man, obtained employment in one of the
foundries there, and thus learned the
secret Of making gun iron. He intro
duced the process in his works here, and
thus enabled the government to obtain
| gun iron at home. The books of the
firm show a total loss of 800, 900 on gov
eminent work. Mr.. Hewitt thought he
was getting a poor recognition for these

How the Balloon was Invented.
lSir William r. Grove.

Exercise is antagonism; at each step
force is used to lift up our bodies and
push back the earth; as the eminent
Joseph Montgolfer said, that when he
saw company dancing, he mentally
inverted his view and imagined the
earth dancing on the dancers feet,
which it most unquestionably did.
Indeed, his great invention Of balloons
was guessed at by his witnessing a
mild form of antagonism between heat
and gravitation. He, being dutlful
husband, was airing his wife's dresses,
who was going to ball. He observed
the hot air from the fire inflated the
light materials, which rose up in sort
ofspheroidal form (you may have some
of YOU noticed this form in dress}.
This gave him the idea of the fre-bal-
loon, which, being large paper-nlaker
at Annonay, he forthwith experiment.
ed on, and hence We got aerial naviga-
ton. This anecdote was told me by
his nephew NJ. Seguin, also an eminent
man.

The Exact Time.
1Harper's Magazine.

On the occasion of wedding in Nir-
ginia, not long ago, the hospitality OF
the family mansion was taxed to the
utmost, and one Of the guests had to be
accommodated with hastily erected
bed in his hosts room. Early in the
morning, Jim, an irrepressible retainer
of the family, came in to light the fire,
and his master asked him the time.
He didn't know.
"Well you idiot, can't you look at
the clock??''
Jim studied it anNiously for few
minutes, and then ventured: ~ can't

A Cock Fighting q Looking-Glass.
tBenjarpin Karr, in Popular Science
Monthly

An amusing test of the difference OF
disposition in barn-yard fowls may be
made by placing a piece of looking
glass against the trunk of a large tree,
and laying grain Of corn in front OF it.
Some hens will discover what they all
take for. new arrival with mild
curiosity and merely look at it intent
ly, perhaps peering around behind the
tree, and then walk quietly away.
Others peck the glass angrily and insist
upon fighting, while few nervous fe-
males show much the same noisy ex-
element that seizes upon most hens
when they spy snake. We tried the
valiant old autocrat of the farm-yard
with this trick, and he was at once
reused to fury. Dropping his head
when some ten feet in front of the
glass, he began the cautious advance
by parallels, which every one familiar
with poultry has seen before fight.
But, ofcourse, be soon lost his enemy
by moving too far to one side. After
Growing fercely and looking around
uneasily for few moments, he return
ed to the grain of corn, and almost in
stantly saw the strange cock nearer
than before. More stealthy approach,
another failure to keep sight of the foe,
and greater excitement, and third
time he began to eat, only to be startled
by the hostile presence nearer than
ever. At last he worked right up to
the glass and braced himself for the
shock of combat, the counterfeit, OF
course, following his every movement
with oninous celerity. There was one
fierce peck at the angry head in the
glass, and then crash, as our infuriat-
ed champion hurled himself against
his likeness, breaking the glass into a
hundred fragments. The nlingllng OF
establishment, rage, and triumph IN
this birds appearance, as he whlrled
about startled at the cracking noise,
and bewildered by the total disappear
ance of his enemy, was comical to be-
hold. Then he rushed around behind
the big pear-tree, evidently thinking
that the cowardly stranger might be
hidden there. Not finding him, the
victor strutted about, too excited to
eat, and crowed long and loud over his
unprecedented triumph. The other
cock was entirely wiped out Of exist
ence, and our old fighter, who would
crow detiantly in our arms whenever
he find himself being carried Oft the
premises, knowing from experience
that a set-to was coming, could scarcely
credit his senses.

Death and Burial in China.
adele NJ. Fielde, in Popular Science
Monthly.]

TAdele NJ. Fielde, in Popular Science
Monthly.
When the Chinese wish to declare the
extreme vexatiousness of any piece OF
work, they say, "It is more trouble
than funeral"; the obsequies OF a
parent being reckoned the most mad
dening affair in human experience.
Infants are buried summarily, with
out cofins, and the young are entered
with few rites; but the funerals OF the
aged, of both sexes, are elaborate IN
propotion to the number of the de-
scendants and to their wealth. When
a childless married man dies, his widow
may perform all the duties Of a son
toward him, may remain in his house,
and may adopt children to rear as his
heirs and worshipers of the family
names. If his widow purposes marry
ing again, a young male relative may,
with the consent of senior members OF
the clan, undertake the services expect
ed from a son, and may inherit the
estate of the deceased.
When one is about to die, he is re-
moved from his couch to bench or to
mot on the floor, because of a belief
that he who dies in bed will carry the
bedstead as burden into the other
world. He is washed in a new pot, IN
warm water in which bundle OF IN
cense-sticks is merged. After the wash
ing, the pot and the water are thrown
away together. He is then arrayed IN
a full suit of new clothing, that he may
appear in hades at his best. He breathes
his last in the main room, before the
largest door of the house, that the de-
partingso may easily find its way
out into the air. A sheet of spirit
money, brown paper having patch OF
gliding on one surface, is laid over the
upturned face, because it is said that, Il
the eyes are left uncovered the corpse
may count the rows of tiles in the roof,
and that in such case the family could
never build more spacious domicile

Wonderful Tropical Fruits.
IFafcadio Hearn, in Harper's Maya
zine.


ALI through the land round about are
other wonders. There are avenues OF
table-trees, whose foliage seems eNag-
cerated horizontally, alleys Of mahoga-
ny-trees; lanes of Oridokes, whose
fronds coruscate with crimson blossom
ing. There are amazing shrubs-orange-
colored things; there are plants with
glossy leaves speckled in four different
colors; there are various plants that
look like wigs of green hair, or masses
offiform green sea-weed, set on short
sticks; plants with enormous broad
leaves, so diaphanous as to seem made
of green glass; plants that do not look
like real plants, but like idealizati ons
of plants, like the fantasticahtles OF
wood-carvers and stone-cutters anil
mated by witchcraft. There are grasses
that look like dwarf palms-tiny
arborescent grasses with curving stems
and plumed heads, There are flowers
of extravagant forms and colors-fow-
ers that possess familiar shapes, but
have absurd tints and unfamiliar per-
fumes, yellow and indigo and green,
orange and black and crimson plants.
And in all the ponds, covering all the
canals, float the green navies of the
monster lily, the Victoria Regia. Close
to shore the leaves are not extraordi-
narily large; but they increase in
breadth as they float further out, as II
gaining bulk proportionately to the
depth of water. A few yards off, they
are large as soup plates; further out,
they are broad as dinner trays, in the
centre of the pond or canal they have
surface large as tea-tables. And all
have an upturned edge, perpendicu-
lar rim, like a bulwark. Here and
there YOU see the flower-a nonsensical
flower, large as hat. Then there are
fddlewood- trees in multitude, ,calabash-
trees, mangoes, bread-fruits, sago-
palms, fg-trees, and a hundred unfa-
mihar shapes of (which l cannot learn
the names. And there is the snake
nut tree, bearing q most ghastly fruit.
For this swart nut-shaped almost like
clam shell, and halvingin the same
way along its sharp edges-encloses
something incredible. There is a pale
enve3op about the kernel; remove it,
and you find between your fingers a
little viper, triangular-headed, coiled
thrice upon itself, perfect in every
detail of form from skull to tail. Was
this marvellous mockery evolved for a
protective end? It is no eccentricity:
in hundred nuts the serpent-kernel
lies coiled the same.
Yet in spite of these establishments,
of these novel impressions, what a
weird delight it is to turn again into an
avenue of palms, and to know once
more the queer sense of being watched,
without love or hate, by all those
silent, gracious, tall, sweet things!

A Miner who Made Twelve Millions.
Edwards Roberts, in Harper's Mag
azine.

Edwards Roberts, in Harper's Mag
azine.]
Marysville, nearly thirty miles from
Helena, is a second Wickes in appear
ance, but when one remembers the
wealth of the mines which have created
the town, he forgets the ugliness of the
streets, and ceases to notice the dilapi-
dation of the rudely built cabins.
Marysville is chiefly famous as the site
of the Drum Lummon, but does not
depend on this mine alone for its sup
port. The town is the chief seat Of an
extremely rich district, already we'll
developed, and is an important suburb
of Helena. 1t is connected by rail with
the latter city, and will eventually be
the terminus of a branch of the Mani
toba road.
The discoverer Of the Drum Lummon
was Mr.. Thomas Cruise. In the days
before he sold his property and re-
turned to Helena a much honored
millionaire. Mr.. Cruise was locally
know as "oid Tommy" and was
looked upon as a somewhat visionary
man. None questioned after time that
his nine, where he lived and labored
alone, was valuable, but few placed its
worth so high as did the patient owner
When he refused half a million for his
mine, the people of Helena called him
foolish, and when he turned away
from the offer of million, they called
him a fool. But the miner was wiser
than his friends, and eventually re-
celved his price, sl1, 100000, and a good
ly number of shares in the new com
pany. Then, es so often is the case.
