THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.

Decoration day was first established in

graves OF both Federals and Confederates.

Scene in New York City.

''Does this line of people begin at
the BatteryP" was asked at the ticket
Office window of the Grand Central
station the other day.
''Out In midocean, I should judge"
was the laconic reply of the jumping
Jack inside the window, who flew from
side to side playing a wild game of
tickets and coins on the broad sill, as
the line passed between him and the
brass rail outside,
''Move on into the corner to count
your change" the stalwart policeman
on the outside whispers to any one who
dailies a fraction of a second in front
of the cage.
Men sweep the whole of their change
together with their left hands Women
Invariably stop to count the pieces In a
daZed, fumbling sort of way born of
suspicion, nervousness, tight gloves
and many packages.
Now and again a neat little tailor
made Boston girl sweeps OF the change
like any young dude, bettering him by
having a neat little purse in her left
hand, which snaps viciously as she
tilts her nose and an oxidlzed silver
umbrella handle toward the big chan
delier and passes by.
From ten to fifteen thousand peo-
pie pass by between this window and
that brass rod daily" gasped the jump
ing Jack, wiping the perspiration from
his brow as the gong sounded and the
last man tore through the gate, his
cane punching into the stomach of the
big fat policeman, and his coat tail
catching on the complacent brass knob.
"The work is divided between three
men,"
''Don't you find coins very incon-
venient for hasty handllng?r

Commerce in the Arctic Ocean.

For the second time since the wealthy
Russian merchant SIbiriakoff began his
persevering efforts to force his steamer
through arctic ice to the mouth of the
Yenisei River, the feat has now been
accomplished. The steamship Phoenix,
laden with merchandise from Leith,
has unloaded her merchandise on the
banks of the Yenisei, whence it has
been carried by steamer and lighter
many hundreds of miles up the great
river. The Phoenix hopes to return to
Europe with Siberian produce.
When Nordenskiold came home,
after making the northeast passage, he
said there would be no difficulty in
establishing trade by steamer between
Europe and the mouth of the Yenisei.
If this was true, the fact was very
important, for the Y enisei is one of
the worlds great rivers. 1t is navi-
gable by large vessels during the brief
summer season for six hundred miles
from the sea, and by light draught
boats to the very heart of Siberia. For
years Mr.. Sibiriakoff has been trying to
demonstrate that Nordenskiold's IS judg-
ment was correct, but every year. ex-
cept one, his vessels have been baffled
by the Ice in the Kara Sea.
In 1880 his steamer, the Oscar Dick
son. reached Siberia, but on the return
trip she was crushed in the ice and
sank. His steamer on the Yenisei has
taken several loads of Asiatic produce
to the mouth of the river, but though
SIbirlakotf sent from Europe three
vessels III one year, not pound of his
Siberian freight has ever reached Eu-
rope by sea. His ventures in the Arc
tic Ocean have cost him $500 900, and
the successful voyage of the Phoenix
will have to be repeated several times
If he ever regalns the money he has
lost.
1t Is net likely, however, that this
uncertain route to Siberia Will ever be
worth much to commerce. The Phoenix
was favored with fine season for
Arctic travel. In fact, it is believed
the route to Franz Josef Land was
nearly free from ice all summer, offer
ing splendid opportunity to explorers
had any of them happened to be OIL
