THE AGEOF MARVELS.
The fine When We May Travel 200
Miles Per HOur-
rphilodal Tnruiroy

Philadelphia Inquirer.
In view of the almost incredible progress
of the last two generations it is not the
best judgment which pronounces the post
electric ystem of transportation the dream
of an inventive maniac. There is fresh
ness about the proposition that we shall
yet send letters across the continent be-
tween the dawns of successive days that
takes the average breath away, and the
suggestion that passengers are to be rushed
through space at the rate of 200 miles per
hour is apt to alarm the apprehensive.
But the proposition is not beyond the
limits of possibility for all that.
A few days ago an experimental train
upon railroad in this State made q run
of ninety odd miles in about sixty minutes
some portion of the journey being at the
rate of nearly two miles per minute. If
steam can accomplish such marvellous re-
suits as this, why not that greater power,
electricity, eclipse this stupendous recordP
The truth is that we live in a phenomenal
age. All the ancient faiths concerning the
development of material things are being
rudely jostled by The pushing shoulders of
science. 1t is no longer the dream of
visionary that We shall converse With per-
sons thousand miles away.
Marked progress has been made toward
solving the problem of aerial navigation,
and although it is yet impossible to pre-
dict the ultimate outcome, it is not insani-
ty to predict that airships may yet be run
counter to the winds. The turning of a
key illumipates populous city and new

A Fortune in q Book.
INo~ Vnvb nronh{o

In about fortnight huge edition of
General Grants memoirs" will be put on
the presses for fall and winter trade. The
publishers were showing me some figures
in connection with this botk, which were,
to say the least, startling. They told that
up to date 1926 900 sets of the book had been
printed and sold, making $4,000 volumes.
l presume the books cost the Websters
probably about dollar volume to make
up the outside, which, with the agents
commissions off. leaves profit of some 81
on every set sold of the cheapest edition.
The Grant family receives IS per cent of
the profits. and therefore at the closest CAL
culation the income to them thus far from
the work must be close on to 100000. 1
mrke but meager allowance in these figures
for the more expensively bound sets sold,
upon which the profit is larger

Could Not Drive Joke Into the Lord
Mayors Head.

When Gen. Schenck was on his way to
England as United States Minister, says
the Washington Post, he had as companion
de voyage no less famous a parsonage than
the late Ben. Holiday, then full of wealth,
health and vigOr. He made the passage as
interesting for the General as his unlimited
length of purse and limited knowledge of
uraw poker rendered possible. The two
gentlemen parted the warmest of friends,
and Gen. Schenck always retained the
highes regard for Holiday, who, he averred,
had the making of a gre at poker player if
he could only have lived to be as old as
Methuselah.
Shortly after Gen. Schenck's installation
into the good graces of London society he
was invited one evening to Lord Mayor
Christmas's dinner Christmas was an
ideal English burger, sound, pompous, and
beefy.
II say" sang out Gen Schenck across the
table, Il say, Lord Mayor, 1 met relative
OF yours coming over last month"
"Ah, q relative of mine, did you say
Some one, suppose, who had been visiting
the Sta,es"
lob, no, Lord Mayor; be is q resident of
the States; has lived there, in fact, all his
life; was born in America"
Born in America? That is hardly pos
sible. ave no kinsman in the States.
What is the name of the gentleman you
metz"
"Holladay, lord mayor. Aud 1 am quite
positive about his being q connection of
yours, as have known him many years."
"Impos-not at all. No relatives
'Tirely mistaken. No relatives by the
name of Holiday. Some imposter. 1 as
sure you. Never knew any one by the
name of Holiday. Been imposed upon,
Gen. Schenck"
II got out into an ante-room," says Gen.
Schenck, on telling the story, "as quickly
as possible and felt like kicking myself
Then and there I resolved never to try and
drive another joke into an Epglishman's
head. didn't think there was five year
old child in Great Britain who wouldn't
recognize instantly the connection between
Christmas and holiday.

The BetrOthed to the Earl of Fife.

Above is portrait, made from the latest
photograph, of the Princess Louise, eldest
daughter and third child OF Albert Ed
ward. Prince of Wales. and his wife, the
Princess Alexandria, who will be married
soon. The Princess is in her twenty third
year, having been born February 20, 1867.
There is nothing in particular to be said
about her. She is an accomplished and
amiable girl, trained by her excellent
mother to love useful employment. and &C
customed to a simplicity of attire which
would startle many favored daughters of
democratic America. She is not exactly q
beauty, but is good looking and strongly
resembles her father. Her countenance is
decidedly of the Hanoverian mould, like
that the Prince and his royal mother.
She is to be the wife Of the Earl of Fife,
making the second instance within recent
generations of members of the English
royal family marrying below the rank of
royalty.

Col. North's railway from Iquique to
Pisanqua, in the Chilli nitre district, is one
of the most wonderful in the world. It

historic. The scrap reads as follows :
Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 20, 1861. Dear
Sir: have just received your letter Of the
II h inst. ami thank you for your kindness
and good opinion. The provisional congress
is busly engaged in organizing the
different departments Of the new gov
eminent and adapting the old laws as to
our anged condition. Our duties are
delicate and laborlous, but we are getting
on quietly and harmouiously. We have to
change our tariff and navigation policy,
so as to make our commerce and trade
as free as possible tt all nations, con
sistent with the collection of sufficient
amount of income to defray the expenses
of our government. The tariff will be
much reduced. The Mississippi will be
kept highway and the navigation and
coast trade laws repealed Our President
is a noble fellow. A better selection
could not have been made. + +
1t is difficult to tell whether there will
be war. Buchanan will hardly attempt
coercion. Lincoln may and may not. The
interests in favor OF peace are so great that
war can hardly be unnecessarily attempted.
If the black republicans force 1t upon US, OF
course We must defend ourselves The legis-
lature did pass a stay law, which has been
published in many of the papers. Apropos
of papers, the Advertiser, published here,
is about as good weekly newspaper as l
know of, and | hope you will take pains to
circulate gCoI newspapers through the
country. Yours truly, j. L. NJ. Curry.
