No Cause for selt-Congratulation.

WASHINGTON, Nov s Secretary Whit ney, in an interview, said yesterday; Well, we've nothing to congratulate ourselves upon. The loss of New York to the Democrats was caused by the fact that the workingmen had not been proper ly educated as 10 the tariff. The ques- : ton, he said, had not been properly pre- sented to them, and they were made 10 believe that the Democrats were free : traders. instead of mere tariff reduc- tionists."
 Associate Justice Lamar was seen soon after leaving the White House yesterday The President he said admitted that the news thus far received looked very un- favorable.
 Do you think the tariff issue is re- sponsible for the Democratic defeats"
 ..No. I do not" said Justice Lamar and do not know to what to attribute this defeat. p

Conyentence Of the Telephone.

One has TO go TO other cities in order to
thoroughly appreciate the revolution
brought about by the use Of the tele-
phone. In cities like Cleveland. Detroit
and Rochester all the well TO do people
have telephones in their dwellings, and
the useful instruments are made to serve
instead of letters, visits, and the employ
ment Of messengers. The ladies use
them quite as much in the routine Of
household life as our down town men do
in business.
After breakfast in the morning a pro-
vincial lady who has a telephone is apt to
closet herself with it for q half an hour
or more, during which time she finds
out what the grocer has that is good TO
offer, sends her orders, connects with
the butcher, and tells him what she
wants; rings up her dressmaker and has
a delightful chat over trimmings and
flounces, and then calls upon n after
another in her circle of lady friends, and
gossips with each and all precisely as she
would if she were making n social round
in her carriage later in the day. The
average New Yorker has scarcely any
conception of the usefulness of a tele-
phone as it is employed in other cities

Tragedy of the Pet Dog.

l had been to a picnic luncheon with
ONE friends in a glade near the lovely
valley Of Kuiiar. We walked back,
having u dandis Qight palanquin) car
ried behind us; and when dusk began to
fall we put the dogs which had accom-
panied US into the dandis, knowing il
was no longer safe for them to run by
our side. At length one lady became
tired and called for her dandi. II was
brought and set down for her to enter.
As 1t touched the ground the little dog
Jumped out to welcome his mistress; but
in a momen his pretty gambols were cut
short. Like q flash a great creature
sprang into the road, and swapping up
poor little Prim, vanished with the rapid-
ity Of thought down the steep hillside.
We felt thunderstruck, and stood for
some moments in Mortified silence, gazing
down into the bushes where the gliding
form had disappeared; but nothing was
to be seen or heard. The elastic tread Of
the leopard left no sign or track. and so
noiselessly had it passed that we could
not tell whether it had slipped at once to
the bottom of the ravine or whether it
was then lying only a few feet below us
hidden in the brushwood. The latter
we imagined to be the case from the sud-
den silence that fell upon the other dogs,
which, instead of whimpering as before
and rebelling against their Imprisonment,
now covered, mute and terrified, in the
Sbipp Of tba Sararol 1ap1iS Poor
Prim must have been killed by the first
clutch of the cruel claws, for he never
uttered a single cry. We hurried home,
grieving much over lis dreadful fate,
and the gentlemen of the party immedi-
ately returned to the spot with their rifles
and heaters, but nothing vas thea 10 be
seen of the leopard. Chambers Journal.

Inside of a Japanese House.

While the banto was gone TO prepare
other things for us TO look at the hostess
invited us to walk over the house. We
were shown the proper cha-no-ma; the
family altar, with its image of Buddha
in a heavily gilt shrine, and the brass in
cense burner, flower vase and stork
candlestick, and the various living rooms
of the family. They were all scrupu-
lousy clean, the fresh looking yellow
mats giving a cool effect that was most
pleasing at this season, although highly
suggestive Of cold and discomfort in
winter, for any means of producing arti-
fetal heat were entirely wanting, if ] ex-
cept the hibachi or brazier, over which
the people cover when they are cold.
Habit stands them instead Of furnaces,
stoves and iireplaces.
The feature of all these rooms which
struck us most forcibly was the absence
of furniture and ornaments. The wood
work of the walls, sliding screens that
serve for doors ard windows, ceilings
and ~staircases, was very deliberately
carved, and evidently cost much money
but excepting a kake-mono in M or two,
or a bit of bronze, the rooms contained
nothing. One felt constantly as if in
spect!ng a new house, and disposed to
ray; "Row comfortable this will he

iugs are brought inl' Yet the family is

''sparks out OF her" and the torturing
process lasts fully fifteen minutes, the
bright showers falling from the box into
the pit. Meanwhile the ''wipers" are
not idle. Armed with big punches of
waste soaked with black oil to prevent
rust, they rub and scrub vigorously, and
soon the effect of their work begins 10 he

shining and sleek as a racer fresh from
the stable.
The "hostler" meanwhile has
''banked" the fire, and, after pouring
nine buckets Of fine sand into the sand
box on the boiler, the traveller is left TO
slumber on a warm bed-warm, for in
the pit underneath runs a network of
steam pipes, giving a temperate heat, the
effect of which is shown by the dripping
of the melting ice, If the weather is
cold. No. 100 rests peacefully; a smoth-
cred snore now and then is the only indi-
cation that n spark of life remains in the
machine. Early in the morning the
locomotive is awakened by the .'hostler,"
who vigorously pokes the fire, and o o
the steam is sizzling at a lively rate.
About an hour before the train time the
''hostler" pulls the engine out, and after
making up the train, the engineer and
fireman redppear and No. 100 starts out
for its days run of 2f6 miles.
Like every big barn, a roundhouse has
its annexes in the front yard. Near the
entrance to the establishment there is a
woodshed, a sand house, and an oil
cubby. The latter Is part of the old round
house and the inside arrangements re-
semble a well regulated kitchen. Near
a sink in one corner are seen three brass
handled pumps, which connect with three
big tanks underneath tie floor, which
have a capacity Of several barrels Of oil
each. In one Of these tanks is the lard
oil for drilling in the shops, in another
the valve oil for the engines, and in an
other still is the engine oil" proper.
Besides these substances is the kerosene
or headlight oil in a tank by itself. In a
little back room is the big pile of waste,
and the whole establishment is in charge
of a responsible ervan Of the road, who
parcels out the material TO the foreman
of the %roundhouse as he requires. The
sand house is also a modest brick strucs-
ure in which a pile of sand is heaped
about a large stove, to be perfectly dried
before being sifted, and right opposite is
the gigantic woodshel whose pile is re-
plenished every day with a car load.
There are. OF course, two gangs of hands
who have charge night and day respec-
lively, and, taken all together, a j%ollier,
healthier, and more hard working set Of
men it would be hard to find the whole
