wife, who own fine farm on the

wheat this season and are still plow-

the housework for hired man, con-

Fidelity to Duty.

The Emperor of Russia has just
decorated and rewarded a private
soldier whose fidelity to his duty re-
calls the stories Of the Roman senti-
nels who persisted in the destruction
of Pompeii. When the recent earth
quake destroyed small Russian
town in central Asia this soldier was
on duty in the military treasury
Although the houses were crashing
around him this faithful fellow stood
motionless, waiting death. The on
ly sign which he showed that he ap-
preciated his situation was the fact
that he raised his hands as soldiers
do at prayer. Fortunately ser
geant in the street saw him amid the
ruins and ordered him to quit his
post, which he did right willingly.

Facts About immigration.

One-hfth of the immigration to
this port from Europe last year was
from two countries which have only
recently begun to contribute to our
population-Italy and Russia. The
report from Castle Garden shows
that out of $4,000 immigrants for
the year 1858 we're Italians and
32,o37 were Russians. The immi-
grafton from these two countries was
as high as that from Germany, and
the immigration from Italy alone was
just about equal to that from Ireland.
We are informed that very nearly the
whole body of immigrants classified
Russians" belonged to the Hebrew
race, and that they find life here SO
much more desirable than they found
it under the car of Russia that they
are encouraging their brethren whom
they left behind them to follow their
example in coming to America

A New Floating Fora.

Admiral Akamatsu, of the Japanese
navy, has Invented a rev floating fort
for coast Defense The fort is to be
built on a kind of vessel made of steel
and $50 feet in length. The armor is
to be twelve inches thick, and the
bridge will be specially protected with a
steel bulwark Of three inches. It is to

Life in the Great City.

Among the dangers peculiar to life
in New York are the injuries to per-
son and property resulting from the
carelessness of employees connected
with the elevated street railways, of
which some forty miles are now in
operation within the city. The rail-
way people think nothing of piling
up the coal on their locomotives in
such way that more or less of it
rolls down into the street twenty feet
below, to the danger of the crowds
of people; while showers Of hot wat

1t is only now and then that the com

injuries thus oCcasioned, a few Poop

A COSTLY BOOK.
A Copy OF hlotley's dutch Republic" That
is Worth $4,000.

10 UOiN SOOsSSO'
Probably the most costly set of books
in this city, says Philadelphia paper,
is twenty ninc-volume edition of Mot
ley's Rise of the DutcA Republic"
owned by Clarence H. CLARK, the bank
er. These volumes are said to have
cost their owner $4,000. Originally
the set consisted Of niue handsC mcly
printed volumes, which have been ex-
tended by the insertion of some 2,50O
portraits, engravings, autographs, and
maps, making the present elaborate
and costly work. The illustrations
were inserted in appropriate places OPP
posite the text, so that the scenes of the
battles and persons figuring in them
could be better represented and apprec'-
ated than by the type acne. The set
is not quite filled with illustrations,
however, and Mr.. Clark is still dill
gently seeking after more material
Every famous general or diplomat of
the time when the Netherlands were
against PhilipII. of Spain, is represent
ed by portraits engraved by experts of
great reputation. The set contains
valuable autographs, remarkable scenes
of battles and sieges, Of marriage and
funeral possessions, of declarations OF
peace and of victories, and the illustra-
tons from wonderful gallery Of con-
temporaneous pictures bearing upon and
confirming Motley's mastery narrative
OF the great men and events Of success
sive genera ms of Dutch heroes.
Among the most beautiful of the en-
cravings are Egmont in Flanders, "
"Horu at Tournay,' "The Investment
of the City of Valencennes," by Noir-
carmes, "The Alarm at Brussels" "The
Three Days Tumult at Antwerp"
"Execution Of La Grange and De Bray"
Interview Between Grange and Egg
mont at Wilebroek," "Brederode's
Death" "The Council Of B ood," CAT
rest of Orange" "The Grande Place at
Brus .ells." and "The Death of the
Prince of Orange"
The twenty,nine volumes are hand
somely bound in levant morocco, and
this item was not the least of those con-
tributing to the cost of the books. The
volumes are of the imperial folio size SO
necessary for such an elaborate work
The set is considered to be the finest,
most complete, and costly edition of
Motley's History of the Rise of the
Dutch Republic" in the world. Be-
sides this great literary treasure Mr.
Clark possesses in his library about
5000 volumes, rare collection of old
and new books and manuscripts, and
representing in their selection the judg-
ment and taste of a true bibliophie.
Among his rare treasures are twenty
five volumes Of Dibdin's biographical
works, Gramont's "Slemoirs Of Hamil-
ton" in four volumes, a large folio edi-
ton of the Nuremberg Chronicle, and
an Aristotle, printed in 1912, with its
original binding Of stamped velum and
metal clasps.

Poverty of Cambridge.

Many people imagine that the uni
versities of Oxford and Cambridge
are very wealthy corporations. This
is mistake; they never were so,
and in these days, when they provide
for the teaching of a crowd of sub
jects which a hundred years ago lay
practically or wholly outside a uni
versity education, they have to OBJ
serve the strictest economy. This is
especially the case at Cambridge,
where the university is sadly crippled
in dlscharging its proper functions
through lack of money. There are
scarcely any public lecture rooms;
the professors and other teachers of
natural sciences are vainly lament
ing the wretchedly insufficient appli-
ances provided for their work, and
the University library, and indeed
every institution needful for the ad-
vance of the studies of the place, are
pinched for funds.-.H. /ames' Ga

while he spoke.
Those on the outskirts of the crowd. who

oy rushing away to select advantageous
positions along the line of march.

.heered vocferously. The President bowed
ais Acknowledgements.
The oath was taken, the speech was ended,
and it was time to go home to the White
House. Great was the cheering. A con-
used din of conflicting bands smote the air,
and above all there Numbered forth the can

lad turned his face westward toward the

Instantly the army of escort fell into

cached the plain the great escort fell into

SCENES IN THE SENATE.

Streams OF restless humanity had poured
down the broad walks toward the avenue
and swelled the great, black river of human
ity at the Capitol The great terra e on the
west front had been dotted with sightseerers
from early morning, and they had fingered
about the platform that stretched out from
the east front of the building. But it was
nearly nine o'clock when the throng COM
menced to grow dense, and the struggle for
breathing room began. At the entrances of
House and Senate cordons of police kept
back the crowd and reinforced the door
keepers.
At ten O'Clock the east doors Of the Senate
wing of the Capitol was thrown open and
the visitors began to pour in. The tickets
which they carried were OF various colors, to
indicate the particular place to which each
was entitled TO adnitt1nce. The galleries
filed very quickly.
The doors of the Senate Chamber had not
been opened Couchss had been placed in the
semi circular space in front of the platform
occupied by the presiding officer and tho
clerks. In the center of this space were placed
the seats to be occupied by the President and
PreSident-e.ect.
Between the chairs usually occupied by
members of the Senate had been placed other
seats, and directly behind the last of the
Senator's desks had been placed a number Of
touches and chairs
Before eleven o'clock, the hour when the
Senate doors were thrown open, the public
galleries were nearly full. There were a
number of visitors in the diplomatic gallery,
and the only gallery which was empty was
the one just west of the diplomatic gallery
and almost directly opposite the presiding
officer. which had been reserved for the
families Of the President and the President
pro tenn. of the Senate, the President-elect
and the Vice President elect, and of the ex-
President and ex-Vice- Presidents Of the
United States.
The regular business OF the Senate pro-
ceeded without much show of interest.
Meantime tho members of the Diplomatic
Corps had assembled in the marble room,
and at fifteen minutes past eleven the Senate
was called to order by Senator Ingalls,, and
the Senators rose as the diplomats entered.
Many of them were in military attire-the
Chinese in their silken robes and the Coreans
with their funny, bird cage hats.
The members of the corps ware shown to
the seats in the first two rows On tho west
side of the chamber Shortly after they
