Comforting q Lost Little One.
fMHalstnn >, in New York Times /


heard rather q good story the other
dayof Marshall Jewell and Gen. Grant.
The two were enjoying walk in Wash
ington one evening while Jewell was a
member of Grants cabinet, and far
out on the outskirts of the city they
came upon little girl crying because
she had lost her way. They called a
man and gave him instructions to find
her home, when of sudden up came
the child's mother, comely, rather
poorly dressed young woman, in the
depths of agitation. The men deliv-
cred over their infant ward and walked
away a few steps, when of sudden
the president, excusing himself lust
for minute, walked rapidly back to
the child, whose tears were being wiped
away. He didn't explain to Post
master General Jewell what it was that
had prompted his return, and Mr..
Jewell did not explain either why he
too found it convenient to go back to
the little one for another minute
or so.
Both men had been trying to do good
by stealth. Mr.. Jewell had opened his
purse, not suspecting Gen. Grants mo-
tive. Gen. Grant did not open his
purse, or rather the child did not get
anything out of it, for by some mishap,
not a penny had he in his possession.
Instead of coins Postmaster General
Jewell found the little one with an
apron full of cigars. The general had
emptied his pockets into her lap.

The MANlPuLATloN OF Clay.

Various Materials which Are Mixed Toe
gether-Ready for the Workman.
English Illustrated Magazine.l
To earthenware the blue clay brings
toughness and solidity, flint gives white
ness, kaolin Whiteness and porousness,
and Cornish stone acts as sort of fiux
binding all together. These materials
being weie he'd and measured and placed
together with large quantity
of water in huge watts fitted with
an agitator called ''blunger," by
which they are thoroughly stirred up
and mixed together. As my courteous
guide raises the lid of one of these
'blunging" machines, 1 descry, as it
were, the interior of vast churD filed
With a strong white sea, as if the cliffs
had got mixed with the tide in the man
ner depicted by some painters of seas
scapes.
This beautifully white fluid runs of
when its parts are judged to be suffi-
GENTLY miXeG, into trOughs, and is
strained through sleeves of lawn, vary
ing in fneness from twenty-five to
thirty-two threads to the inch. 1t is
next tested by weight, certain measure
being required to weigh certain num-
Der of ounces. The slip now reposes
for while in quaint receptacles shaped
like the Noahs ark given to children.
To get rid Of the super6uous dampness
of the compound slip" it is forced by
means of pumps into bags of strong
cloth. It is then pressed, and some
times cut up and pressed again, being
then ready for the thrower. This is
hardly the place in which to descant
upon the potter wheel as used by the
Egyptians Suffice it to note that the
main distinction between the modern
and the ancient potter is that the latter
turned his wheel with his foot while his
descendant is supplied with motive
power by steam.
When this sort Of sausage machine
Just described has done it's work and the
slip has been pressed the material is of
ne consstence Of stiff dou gh. In this
condition it comes into the hands of the
potter, but not directly. Before it
caches him it is weighed out in Jumps

is finally handed to the potter he deals
with it in wonderful manner Placed
on the horizontal wheel revolving
before him the clay is made to per-
form the most extraordinary evolution
It spreads out, leaving a hollow center,
and grows like mushroom under his
skillful hand. 1t becomes anything he
Likes. 1t may be bowl, cup, or
AXE any other shape. AS the clay re-
wolves rapidly the workman has only to
change the position of his hands to pro
d1ce any shape he may wish.

rne Autocrat ana the Baron.

Oliver Wendell Holmes gives the At
iantic very interesting account of a visit
which he paid to Tennyson. He says
that he saw the poet to the best advantage
under his own trees and walking over his
own domain. II am sorry" he writes,
"that I did not ask Tennyson to read or
repeat some OF his own lines to me.
Hardly any one perfectly understands
poem but the poet himself Others
who have heard the poet laureate repeat
his own verses say that he does SO in
sort of rhythmical chant, his voice main
tanning full, rich monotone. and seldom
rising very much. In later years he has
rid himself of the inharmonious calling

Imnrovement of Co,mtrv Towns.

Some time ago I had occasion to call at
tention to the shady business transactions
of number Of syndicates of sharpers,
whose plan of operations has been to
secure franchises for public improvements
from interior towns and cities, which they
have hawked about in New York city and
sold to syndicates. These syndicates
would proceed to build rickety street car
lines or faulty water works systems, with
The sole object in view Of selling the stock
and bonds Of the companies. The towns
ard cities which have granted such fran
chises without thorough investigation of
the credit of persons applying for them
have almost invariably been supplied with
iaulty systems of public improvements.
This sort of thing has been carried on to
such an extent as to produce a reaction,
and now encouragement has been given to
solid investors TO enter upon solid lines of
work.
An extensive contractor for the con-
structiOn of water works remarked: IA
ersat deal of solid investment is taking
place In the improvement Of towns and
cities over the country, where within a
few years it has been the custom to make
such improvements merely for the sale Of
stock and bonds. The day for that kind
OF wildcat work has gone by. Men with
money have discovered that in the con-
structfon of solid and substantial public
Improvement in. growing places there Is
an pie remuneration in a legitimate way.
Recently / have constructed a number Of
wa5erworks systems for syndicates of
capitalists, who have put their money
in these systems for permanent in
vestment, and could not be induced to sell
collar of the stocks or bonds. In doing
work for this class of investors l have
found that they are satisfied with nothing
but the best, indicating therein their pur-
pose to make long investments. In some
canoes these syndicates have gone into
towns and cities where faulty public i'm
provements existed, have bought up the
stock of the old concerns, reorganized the
companies, and then reconstructed every
hing. This is good work for the entire
country. Cor. New York Tribune.

Cleveland Reported to be In a Very
compIacent Mood.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 14.-The Sun tomorrow
will publish special despatch from Wash
ington givins a review Of President Cleye-
lands administration based on conversations
with the President.
The Key note Of Cleyeland's policy from
the beginning was the determination to give
the people practical and business like ad-
ministration, irrespective Of personal consid-
erations. Probably there Is no American in
public life who has deeper and more genu
inc sympathy for the people there has never
been Presldsnt more accessible. He says his
afternoon receptions or ''handshakes" as he
calls them are the pleasantest incidents Of
his official life. He works as hard
as any department clerk because he Is
not content TO take things for granted. "It
may be because / am awkward at it." he
said, .'that have to work so hard" He Is
thoroughly satisfied with the practical out
come Of his administration and its effect on
the fortunes Of the Democratic party. The
President Is as firm now as ever in the opin-
ion that tariff reform Is a great living issue
for the Democracy. He regards 1t as an issue
In harmony with the spirit and traditions OF
the party. He does not tolerate the idea
that the Democracy was beaten on the tariff
issue last fall and thinks the defeat TO be de-
pl0red because Of the injury resulting to
pubic interests. personally ne experiences
profound sense Of relief at the prospect
of speedy release from the ordeal to which
he has been exposed during the past
few years. 1t Is an open secret that he acs
cepted the Democratic nomination last sum
mer with genuine reluctance after earnest
efforts TO escape it. His supposed po-
litical aspirations for the future do not exist
He has endeayored to give the civil
service scheme a fair trial and expresses HIM
self fully satisfied with the result. He
thinks examinations are on the whole about
the best test Of merit that can be devised.
effect Of his administration on the prosperity
and happiness Of the Southern people, black
and white, and believes in making no dis

Coke. He said the report Of the committee

to fix the responsibility on that people had
no support except in the testimony of an
infamous trio" and m9n of their vilest CO.
adjutors. This three have tried to made it
appear that they were forced to leave the
country because Of politics. The fact was
they had left because they were regarded as
moral lepers. Mr.. Coke yielded for other
business and Mr.. Vane was at his own re-
quest, excused from further service on the
committee on privileges and elections and Mr.
Gray appointed n his stead. After a brief
executive session the Senate adjourned at
