ample, have a dispute over an account, which re-
mains unsettled In consequence. The one who

The agency, IL it follows the course against which

In another part OF TIE STAB is published an arti-

other distinguished ex-Senators and Senators upon
the railroad occupation OF the parks and streets Of
Washington. The objections 10 a surrender OF
the parks To tracks trains, and stations are forc
bly, presented and the evils OF the Illegal practices
OF the roads In occupying streets and reservations
without authority. and In using the streets for
freight and storage purposes, thereby obstructing
and throttling two sections Of the city, wildly
pictured senator Thurman contended that the
diversion by the government OF park to railroad
uses Is an act OF bad faith towards the original
owners OF the soil OF Washington, confirming The
srAR In It's position upon this question. IL is
pected that the railroad bills VIII be discussed In

Queer Notions concerning America.

Frank r. Ltockton, in March st. Nicholas.
An English lady who had travelled over the
greater part of Europe said she had a great de-
sire to come to America, and her principal
object in doing to shoot Niagara. /
rather opened my eyes at this, and said that
thought she must refer to the celebrated trip
down the rapids of the st. Lawrence, but she
was very positive the subject and said she
meant Niagara. and nothing else; she had under
stood that they did it in a steamboat, and she
knew she should enjoy the sensation.
A well-educated middle-aged gentleman told
me that the reason our civil war lasted long
was that had military in our
country. and that war carried on entirely by
civilians could not proceed very rapidly. IL any
of you have ever seen an English atlas you will
understand why it is difficult to get from it a
good idea of America. We shall find, in such
an atlas. full and complete maps of every
European country and principality, whole
page being sometimes given to an island. or to
q colony in Asia and Africa; but the entire
North America besides is crowded into a single
map. Some OF these small that the New
England States are not large enough to contain
their names, and designated by letters
which refer to the name printed in an open part
of the Atlantic Ocean. No wonder that the
people who use these maps have limited idea
of country
But it is not only English people who appear
to know very little about America. German
countess once asked me il we had any theaters
in New York. and when told her that there
were not only great many theaters in that
city, but thai it possessed two grand opera
houses at which. at that time, two of the lead
ing prima donnas of the world We're singing on
the same nights, she was little surprised. IL
is quite common Ia various parts of the con-
tinent to hear people speak of the late be-
tween North and South America. They knew
that the as between the North and the
South. and as it in America the mistake is
