The foot prints, at first so plain, even

MIS-. Morton's ArIstocratic turnout.

New York sun
The handsome and fashionable wife of
the president.oiec is Loted for the
possession Of remarkable cuaohman.
William White, who sits sntiy on the
high drivers seat of Mrs. Mortun's car
riage, was once in the employ of the
Prince of Wales, and was brought b. this
country by the marquis OF Lorne while
that arstocrat was governor general of
Canada. He has been in the service of
Levi z. Morton Tor four or five years,
aud is sort of example 70 the other
family coaohmen Of oh Avenue in de-
pertinent The manner in which ne tips
his hat GpOu being questioned or answer
ing 4; his stiff backed pose on his seat, his
handling of the relus and whip-in every
thing he is taken as a model. Even the
llvtry-stable proprietors, in fitting ont
equippages that.are meant TO be mistake en-
for the private turnouts of their custom
ers, are accustomed 90 point White out 10
their drivers &c an exhibit Of what they
ought TO aim at. But Mrs Morton's car
riage has interior comforts that are not
for show. A diminutiye clock is set ia
toe side where she can see il at a glance,
and thus, in making ronnd of calls OF
keeping other engagement, she may
know the time without the bother of TAX
ing ont a watch. In drawer are com
pactly arranged hand glass and hair
brush and comb, to be used in the car
riage whenever the slightest mishap of
toilet requires attention. A bearskin
rug contains a fiat tin preceptacle for
hot watel, and is thus kept in a condition
to warm the feet. Like many of the
vehicles made to order for ladies of
wealth, the back seat of this one is of q
height, breadth, and upholstered shape
exactly suited to be easiest for Mrs. Nor
ton. This carriage, although not singular
in its appointments of luxury, is one OF
the newest in manufacture, and nothing
more complete is owned by an Aston or q
Vanderbilt.

Maine Man Relates HIS Thrilling EXperien-

Whosoever will invent a way 20 work

ployed will confer one of the greatest of
boons on humanity. The thing may ap
pear 20 be impossible now, but a wa has
been found over apparently iDsurmount-
able difficulties in other iields of labor.
The story of the Gambo powder mills Is
one of the most terrible IN Maine's his
tory. Only one person now lives Sho
can 20 the full 8pprt ciate its horrors, and
that is Mr.. Clinton b. Hooper, who enjoys
the unique distinction OF having passed

blind. He knows the suffering caused by
the loss of friends in this way, too, a. his
son was killed in thu same mill few
years after his own dreadful uxperlcne.
He gives the following account OF the Y
plosion, as seen from the inside of the
building:
"fhe first thing that | saw wac small,
binding flash, which instantly grew
brighter, and jun ped to get ont Of the
way. had the presence OF mind TO fall

horrible deafning re r,0rt came, aud parts
of machinery, sticks and stones passed
over my head. Luckily Was not struck
by the missiles, but was terribly burned

me up inside. | lay on my bed for
months, and you can see how am

One other man came out of the wreck

the shoes from his feet, but he walked up
the road and told some men he met about
the accident He was laughing and con
graduating himself on his escape, wuen
it WAS discovered that the skin on the
bottom of his feet had gone with his
shoes, and a few minutes later he fell
dead from the elects Of the concu--
sion.
The story Of accidents ayerted is an in
teresting one. One workman, having ac-
cidenHy iguited some powder, clapptd
his hand over IL in second. His hands
were burned 60 crisp, but the mills and
their occupants were saved. As another

later his sight was restored. The neigh

off tho last vestige of currant jelly from
his quivering chin he said:
81 wish every poor man had as good a
dinner to-day as I've had, and that's
saying good deal"
''Poor mani" echoed his wondering
nicces and nephews, in chorus. "Why,
Uncle Silas, you amt poor man?'
Uncle Silas chuckled hard, chinky
laugh that might have been tied with a
string, it so resembled his own precious
moaay-bags in the hollow jingle it
made.
"Hs's right" said fresh, young voice
Shat Tad not been heard before; Uncle
6iias is poor man."
And how do you know, missy?" asked
Che cid man, without anger and appar-
emily quite amused.
'5icCause you never give any thing
away to make you rich" was the cool,
calm answer of Bessie Van Pelt his old
at niece. She was digging into badly
