France Stands Alone.

A strange thing happened at the open

not present at the ceremonies an ambas-
satior or delegate from a single one of
the great powers of Europe. They stayed
away on principle. The Paris exposition
commentaries the centenary of the
downfall of monarchy in France and
the beginning of government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
ple," in the immortal words Of. our-own
lincoln.
Therefore, the representatives of mon
arches and empires studiously remained
away from that opening. Lord Lytton,
the English minister, said in so many
words: I'VE, spent eight hundred mil
lion pounds sterling in making war
against the principle and policy which
France now commemorates." The cur
tain is here lifted for a moment upon
some of the difficulties our brave sister
republic over the water fights against.

The Railway Age says that 53.436
miles of new railway have already been
projected in the first. quarter Of 1885,.
There are 666 new lines. Nearly half Of
the new mileage will be in the south and
southwest, which now seems to be a
favorite field for investment of many
kinds. Many of the new railroads win
meet disaster, however. There is already
more railroad in the country than is
able to pay even running expenses. The
large roads have decided not to extend
their lines.

A Pretty Fight.


Newspaper young men who were sigh
ing for something to break the dullness
of events after May have had their
wishes gratifed. Just as the.last echoes
of the centennial celebration died away
along comes Gen. Benjamin F. Butler
and says that at the taking of New Or
leans, twenty-seven years ago last April,
Porter showed the white feather and ran
away down the river with his mortar.
boats, while Farragut passed up under
the forts, April "a, with the rest of the
fleet and did the work that resulted in
the fall of New Orleans. -
Gen. Butler says in substance that he
wished to put this statement on record
while Porter was alive, because he didn't
wish to be guilty of saying anything bad
about him after he was dead. In this.
respect Benjamin F. showed considera-
ton that is unusual In mankind.
The admiral of the navy lives in dignity
and repose at Washington. But he has
both tongue and pen of his own.
Gen. Buffers statement naturally walked
all the lingering instincts of war in Ads
miral Porter's brave heart. Both tongue
and pen wag hot and lively. Porter
says that Butler lies in his foul throat,
or words to that effect, and that he never
would have said it if he had been sober.
Il came near thrashing him when he
was military governor of New Orleans,
and wish now had done it. He sent.
me an impertinent message once and he
had to apologize.
"Says / was drunk, does hep retorts
Gen. Butler. "Why hadn't even started
in when ! made that statement. He
can't tell the truth anyhow. This mat
ter is going to be settled once for all,
and I'm going to settle it. II Porter says
he came near thrashing me he must have
been dreaming. IF he says ever made
an abject apology to him he lies"
OF these two hot blooded young fell
lows Butler is 70 and Porter Is years old.
In February, 1862, the combined naval
and military force Of the United States
appeared below New Orleans, In the.
Mississippi river. Porter then held the
rank of commander. Farragut was a
captain in thenavy, and had immediate
command Of the attacking fleet Eighty
three miles below New Orleans werethe
Confederate forts, jackson and ST. Phil
ip, on opposite sides of the river. Above
the forts was considerable Confederate
feet, including the ironclad Louisiana.
There was difference Of opinion as to
whether the feet should first attempt to
,demolish the forts named or should quiz
,etly run by them in the night or in a
fog, and destroy the Confederate fleet
above. Porter was inclined to the opin-
ion that the forts should be first attacked.
Farragut did not do this. however. but
ran the batteries, as already mentioned.
destroyed the feet and pushed on to
New Orleans. Butler landed his troops
in the rear of Fort st. Philip and made
an attack. It is fact, meantime, that
Porter's mortar feet was at the same
time shelling Fort jackson, opposite.
Both forts capitulated April 28. MAJ. 4

The Quickest Ocean Trip,

The restful ocean voyage which doc
tors used to prescribe for inyalids is a
thing of the past. Nomore will they sail
on and on for weeks, dreamily watching
the waves, and sleepily droning through
happy, restful days.
There is no more repose left anywhere.
The ocean passenger goes laundering
across the Atlantic at railroad speed,
carried by terrific black monster that
devours 800 tons of coal a day, and puffs
its ugly black breath all over him.
It is impossible to tell what is the ocean
steamer record any more, because it
changes all the time. In 1881 the Ari-
zona crossed the sea in 2 days, Z hours
and 23 minutes. For seven years this re-
mained the quickest time on record.
But in June, 1883, the Etr,,ria made the
trip in 6 days, / hour and 55 minutes.
And now the new City Of Paris has
reached Sandy Hook from Roche's Point,
Queenstown harbor, in days, % hours
and minutes. This is the quickest time
ever made by 2 hours and 4S minutes.
Thus the championship has passed sue
cessively from the Guion to the Cunard,
and from the Cunard to the4nman steam
ship line.
This was only tho second trip Of the
Paris. She may be able to exceed even
this time. In one twenty hours
run she made 511 miles. These rapid
ocean trips are very expensive to the
companies, however, on account of the
great quantities of coal consumed. Cheap
fuel consumption, if itcould be invented
would lessen the cost of ocean travel.
