Coming down town On a Twentieth

street q young couple took passage and
walked up TO the corner Of the
car. They were madly in love. The

the young man put his arm around the
girls waist and gave her a terrible
squeeze. She didn't kick . bit Then
he kissed her, and oh, what a kiss il
wasl II sounded like the explosion OF
q blast in q stone quarry. AT Grand

far away from the couple as he could.
The conductor yelled; "Sit 9 little
closer, pleased" as loon as the man got
inside. There was no occasion for this,
however. There was nobody in the car
but the couple and the colored nan The

was jibing. He was sitting close. a

colored man stepped off the car at Fair

A veteran Of thirty Saratoga seasons

fortune after he reached the age OF IS,
He had only SIS 5000, 000, 900 or $16,.
O00,0 900 when he was IS. His first big
hit was the purchase of the Harlem
road. That doubled his fortune. Then
he bought the Hudson River and
Central, and doubled another. And
finally he took in the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern and his Western
property, and doubled his estate the
third time. Thus, when he was at
the age when most men are thinking
of making their wills, his estate
jumped from $15. O00, 900 to $4,000

The Influence of symbols.

An American, writing home recently
from England, says: II happened to be
present at the funeral Of a soldier, who,
for bravery in the Zulu war, had received
the Victoria cross. The badge was fast
ened to his breast as he lay in the coffin.
His mother, bidding him farewell, touched
the precious bronze token and said: 1T
lessons my grief at losing him that he
should take that into his grave'
at was the symbol to her not only OF
hts heroic life, but of the gratitude of his
country. l wondered, as heard her, if
we Americans make as much use as we
might of the influence of symbols in train
ing our uneducated classes"
A singular instance Of the effect of this
kind Of symbolism was once shown in the
famous reformatory school at Lusk One
of the teachers had induced about twenty
of the boys to give up prOfane and indie
cent language, and to do extra work, for
which they were paid. But they were in
different and half hearted in the effort.
''Form them into a society and give
them badge" suggested the superin-
tendent
The hint was carried out. In e month
the boys were eager and enthusiastic in
their work, and as proud of their prison
society as were the old soldiers of NapO-
leon Of the Legion of Honor.
The man who is successful in leading
human nature TO its highest endeavor
must work upon the innocent weaknesses
as well as. upon the stern love OF duty.

bolize their work OF sacrifice for the world

Prints of Colombia,

The fruits and vegetables in Colombia
are delicious and grow without culture or
care. The plantain is in universal use
and is always served as vegetable. 1t is
fried and boiled when the skin is yellow,
when it is known as green plantain,
and when it is black and the fruit is con-
sidered thoroughly ripe. The banana is
never fried in the tropics, but is always
served as fruit. There are many vare-
ties of banana. One Of the most de-
lieious species ia favor and fragrance is
the little fig or guineo banana, which is
scarcely finger in length. The red ba-
mana is not different species, but va
riety produced by grating at Baracoa,
Spain. All the bananas in Colombia are

Flovers Of the Arctic Regions.

The polar flowers seldom have any per-

hghtful quality, however feeble. are,
think, from that class that have crept over
the cold border marked by the Arctic
circle: or, in short, none of the fifty men
tioned-Eskimo flowers, we might call
them in e popular way-have any appre-
ciable odor. The color of these boreal
blossoms are generally Of the cold tints,
as if in harmony with the chilly sur
roundings, instead Of the warm hues that
would break in upon the ,desolation with
double effect by sheer contrast where SO
few cheering sights are to be seen. White
and light yellow predominant, and these
colors seem associated with frosts and
cold weather. for ii appears that these
flowers we call .'everlastings,n and which
are the longest to defy the nippings Of the
coming winter weather, are mostly tinted
like the northern SHOWS and yellow
northern lights.
1t is in the depths Of old ocean that we
find some Of the largest expressions OF
plant life in the polar zone. Here, within
a short distance of shore, are colossal
Helps and other life that grow throughout
the year; of course. vegetating the most
in the short summer months. Land
plants, as already said, are pigmies COM
pared with those Of the sea, or even the
corresponding class in lower ATTITUDES,
and this dwarfed condition, a naturalist
tells us, is not due SO much to the intense
cold IN the arctic winter as to the fact
they do not get enough warmth in sum
mer to develop them perfectly. DR.. Joseph
Hooker mentions il as rare property OF

COURT NOTES.
A Suit for Damages Against the Western
Union.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Among the de-
cisions rendered by the supreme court of
the United States was one involving the
responsibility of IA telegraph company for
neglect and delay in the delivery of tele-
gram. The case in which the question
arises is that of the Western Union Tele-
graph company VS.. G. F. Hall, brought
here by writ of error to the United
States circuit court for the south
ern district OF Iowa. On November
g. 1882, Geo. +. Hal telegraphed from Des
Moines, Ia, to Charles Hall at Oil City,
Pa, an order to buy 10000 barrels of pc
troleum, if thought safe. Through al
legged negligence on the part of the en-
ployes of the Western Union Telegraph
company this telegram was not delivered
to the address until p. H., when the eX-
change having closed it was too late
TO execute the order. At the opening
of the exchange on the following day the
price of petroleum had advanced IS cents
a barrel. Hall contends that by reason of
the failure of the telegraph company to
the sum which he would have made had
his order to buy been duly exc
cuted, and had the oil so bought been
sold at the advance of Is cents on the
following day. This court in an elaborate
opinion by Mr.. Justice Matthews, holds
that the only theory on which the plaintiff
could show actual damage or
loss is on the supposition that
If he had bought on November
9th he might and would have sold on the
10th. 1t is clear, however, that in point of
fact he has not suffered any actual loss.
No transaction was, in fact, made
and there being neither pur-
chase nor sale, there was no actual
difference between the sums paid out and
the sums received in consequence, which
coutu ur set down IN n profit and loss ac-
count. II the order had been promptly de-
livered on The day it was sent. and had
been executed on that day, il is
not found that Hall would have sold
the next dav at the advance. nor that he
could have resold at profit at any
subsequent day. The ouly dam age for
which he is entitled to recover is the cost
of transmitting.
