Because two men stand side by side, and look in
the same direction, Ii does not follow that they
the same things. Each what his education, his
tastes, and his habits of mind have given him eyes
to see. At the battle of Sedan, General Sheridan
stood near Count Bismarck. Towards the end he
shut up his glass, and, turning to Bismarck, said
1.-THE battle is won"
The count replied that he should be glad TO think
so, but saw no signs of ii yet In minute two
the French gave way
Turning his glass toward Sedan, Sheridan
marked, 1.-THE emperor is there"
Bismarck answered that il could not be that the
Emperor was not such fool as to place himself in
that situation.
Sheridan looked again, and said, ale is there
anyhow" He had drawn his conclusions from
the immense staff that he saw, and the confusion
reigning among them. Sheridan was right. The
emperor and his staff were prisoners of war.

New York Ledger,

Fashionable people would never be objects of
envy to undistnguished outsiders If the hardships
and privations of fashionable life were better
understood. To "receive" five hundred guests,
tenths of whom totally indifferent to her,
must be more wearisome work to fine lady than
logging to q Maine lumberman How glad she
must be when the show Is over and she can put off
her reception manner, her makeup, her lip deep
smile and artificial courtesy and become real again.
She feels, no doubt, such occasions, that the
game is hardly worth the gas.
Sensible men and women, with "no nonsense
about them" are never more out of their element
than when thrown by circumstances into fashion
able society. They generally retire from ii at the
first convenient opportunity, with a feeling of
pity and COMMUNICATION for the human hollow
ware of which ii is principally composed. And,
really, the devotees of fashion pay immense
price for their whistle. There is no such thing as
solid comfort or hearty enjoyment In the VANITY
Fair" whey they play their trumpery parts.
Grand parties are the dreariest of all pageants.
When boy, we thought Quaker meetings rather
dull affairs but silence is infinitely better than
fashionable small talk, and unobtrusive drab than
glare of splendor that atgues the eye and disguss
the intellect.
The artificial Somebodies of the world of fashion
of course look down upon the natural NobOdies
who are vulgar enough to enjoy life In q homely,
unostentatious way, caring not fig for show and
ceremony. but the Nobodies have the best of it,
after all.

few months we'd have our coast bristling with
dynamite guns.
"The Americans are the quickest moving people
In the world when once reused. No better illus
tration of this could be found than In the building
of our new navy. Five six years ago we were
laughed at by the world Now we are feared.
In few years more believe we shall have the
best navy ahoat. No such progress has ever been
made in ship building have made in the last We
years, and not only in the building of ships but in
guns, steel, marine engines powder. We are
making the best guns in the world and building
the best ships to carry them. Six years ago, when
we were contracting for steel for the Chicago and
Boston, steel was held at twelve cents a pound.
Now we are contracting for better material at
three and a half cents pound. This shows you
the progress that has been made"
"ls American genius doing all ths?"
"Yes. American inventors and mechanics have
always taken the lead in naval work in every
thing else Americans built the first clipper ship,
they made the first machine gun, they built the
first ironclad In the Chicago they revolution
lied ship building by making the first unarmored
steel cruiser and now they astonish the natives
with the first successful air torpedo. The instinct
of our inventors and designers seems always
right than that of the inventors and designers OF
other countries. We see quicker, think quicker,
turn corners quicker. When we built the moni-
tors, in which the central idea was no danger to
the crew, floating forts in which the gun fends
could work in perfect security, the foreigners
caught on, but of course went to the ridiculous
extreme. They have built dozens and dozens OF
heavily armored vessels which must GO to the
bottom of the sea as soon as they pierced
though they can carry no better guns than lighter
vessels. Americans, on the other hand, have swung
back from the extreme OF heavy, mo danger
vessels to higher point of loatation. We are
building war ships that have their tops all shot
off and still float and carry the fight. 1t was
the same with the torpedoes. We took the lead on
submarine torpedoes The foreigners have run
crazy after submarine torpedoes. Americans
quickly swing back to the best line and make
torpedo that goes through the air instead of
through the water. 1t is easier to Manage a
torpedo in the air than in the water and the
dynamite gun will perform more effective service
than all the submarine torpedoes in the world"

How Donnelly Labels His Bombs


Ignatius Donnelly does not trust to his memory
for all the odd anecdotes and funny stories with
which he Celebrates his speeches any and all
occasions, but he follows the example of Abraham
Lincoln and keeps a note book which is full of
them. He keeps the notebooks in a drawer at
home and looks them over, not only when he wants
one for speech, but whenever he gets blue. He
says that his notebooks are better medicine than
anything the doctors can prescribe. Some one
who processes to have seen the inside of one OF
Mr.. Donnelly's notebooks says that when the sage
gets good anecdote or striking bit of poetry, he
makes a marginal note beside it of some man whom
it will fit.

WHAT AWFUL liars some of those Califor
mans are. Here is one Of them, a member
of the company working the soap mines of
Owens lake, explaining to q San Francisco
reporter how the soap is formed. He
says the waters of the lake contain strong
solution of borax and soda. In these wa
tiers there breeds a grub that becomes a
fly. The flies die in the water and drift
ashore, covering the ground to the depth of
a foot or more The oily substance Of the
fly blends with the borax and soda, and the
result is a layer of pure soap. These strata
repeated from year to year form the soap
mines, where large forces Of men are now
employed The gullible scribe having taken
this in and accepted it, the soap miner goes
on to say: ''There is another queer thing
about the waters Of these lakes. You shoot
a duck there and fail to get it, and in a
little while, when it drifts ashore, you find
that its fat breasts and sides have changed
to elegant toilet soap, and you can chip it
off and use it, and it is just as nice as any
refined soap" The late lamented Mum

REDUCING THE SURPLUS.

Did any one ever hear Of anything more
ridiculous than the decision of Assistant
Secretary BUssEY as to the pension claim
of w. H, BRoKENsHA.D, late of a regiment
of Michigan volunteers. A synopsis of the
secretary's reasoning and his finding APP
peared in the Associated Press dispatches a
day or two ago. BRoKENsHARD applied for
an invalid pension, basing his claim upon
this state of facts: In March, 1865, he was
with a military surveying party in Michi-
gan, and one night while crawling into his
bunk, three soldiers jumped on him and
crushed three of his ribs. The late pension
commissioner investigated the case and re
iected the claim, as he should have done,
the petitioner not having been injured
in the line of duty. With the Inauguration
of the new administration the man again
presents his claim and it is allowed; from
this time until his death he will draw a
pension from the government, a grateful
people taxing themselves to pay him for
being hurt in the service of his country.
If claims of this kind are to be allowed by
the administration, there will be no
occasion for legislation to reduce the
surplus in the treasury. The four years
win not have passed before the surplus has
been disposed of, and Congress will be de
vising schemes for increasing the revenue
with which to meet the pension payments.
We wonder if some of the pensioners do
not feel a little ashamed of themselves when
they take money from the government on
the fiimsy pretexts which are made suf-
ficient on which to hang a pension claim
1t is certain that some of the real heroes,
who are entitled to the consideration and
reward, blush when they think of men
drawing pensions because of injuries or
diseases which have no more relationship
to any service than to the influence of the
moon and stars. Nobody will find fault
with the payment of liberal pensions to
those men who were MANNED or lost their
health through service in the cause of the
republic The nation is able to reward
them handsomely for all they did, and to
make reasonable compensation for their
loss and suffering; but what people object
to is the giving of money to the loafers who
wore the uniform through no spirit of pat
riotism, but because they were too lazy 10
earn an honest living by work, and to those
other scamps who disgraced themselves
and the blue they wore by receiving iniu-
ries and contracting disease in ways which
should put out of probability the allowance
of their claims for pensions.

A TERROR ON WHEELS.
The Peculiar Antics of a Fellow on Northern
Passenger Train.

The Peculiar Antics of Fellow on a Northern
Passenger Train.
A few evenings ago, a man, whose name
is unknown, boarded the eastbound train
at Huntington. He was loaded with
whiskey, both internally and externally.
Approaching a fellow passenger, he held
out bottle and invited him to drink. This
request was refused, and an instant later
the gentleman felt the cold muzzle of a
pistol pressed against his forehead Be
tween Weiser and ..Payette, the conductor
approached the stranger and requested him
to show his ticket or pay his fare. This he
refused to do saying he did not have to pay
fare. The conductor insisted. when the un-
ruly passenger drew his pistol and threat
ened to shoot, cursing all railroad men and
conductors particularly. The conductor
then passed out, locking the door so that
the fellow could not get into the ladies car.
After being locked in, the fellow began to
shoot through the top of the car, the win
dows and in all directions. 1t is needless
to say that the half-dozen passengers who
were in the car with this wild drunken man
had previously made their escape upon the
first opportunity offered. The conductor
0elegraphed ahead to Payette, where two
officers were in waiting with Winchester
rifles to take the culprit into custody on the
arrival of the train. This they did, and put
him in the lookup, where he is at pr esent.
