There is a remarkable piece Of work
manship on exhibition, the work OF
August Mac Pherson, the Scotch whit
tier 1t is railroad train, consisting
of an engine, tender, baggage car and
two coaches. 1t is complete in every
detail, and yet it was made with no
other tool than an ordinary knife.
The intricate parts of the engine are
reproduced with consummate skill.
The running gear, with the brakes,
springs, etc., are all there. There are
1867 bolts in the model. In the en-
CINE alone there are ] ,243 pieces and
in the model complete 3,108 pieces.
Mr.. MACPHERSON worked steadily upon
it for fourteen hours day for two
years and nine months.-St. Paul

IN DARKNESS.
I will be still:

viii be still;
The terror drawing nigh
Shall startle from my lips no coward cry;
Nay. though the fignI my desauiicss dread fulfll
will be still
For obi know,
Though suffering hours delay
Yet TO Eternity they pass away,
Carrying something onward as they flow.
Outlasting woei
Yes something won;
The harvest of our tears
Something unfading, plucked from fading years;
Something to blossom on beyond the sun,
From Sorrow won.
The agony
So hopeless now Of balm,
Shall sleep at last In light as pure ana calm
AS that wherewith the stars look down on thee.

| idea has been long abandoned, it is a curious fact that the influenza prevailed in America 100 years ago, and Dr. John Warren, in @
 letter to Dr. Lettsom, says that t'our beloved President Washington is but now recovering from severe and dangerous attack of it." In 1880 an epidemic started in China; it reached Russia in January, 1881, and by May it had spread to western Europe; but it only reached this country in January, 1882, and then prevailed but slightly.
 Another and severer epidemic started in Russia in December, 1886; within month it appeared in London and rapidly spread over Europe. This time, again, America was not affected. An epidemic of considerable ex- tent prevailed in the United States about ten years ago, and there have been various mild manifestations of the disease. On the whole, however, North America does not seem to be very favorable to the development of epi- demic influenza in it's worst forms, and it is unlikely that we shall have 8 severe visita- tion, it we have any at all.
 The disease is not dangerous, except some times to children or the aged, while the for mer often show a decided exemption.
 There is DO doubt that this new epidemic will prove boon to bacteriology, for Sei- fert's micrococcus has not quite satisfied pathologists, and we anxiously await the announcement of the discovery of the in- fuenza bacillus, only regretting for the sake or American science that the m1asm always begins in the east and travels West. The meteorological laboratories. of Europe will therefore have the first chance.
 The disease is undoubtedly due to some micro-organism which floats in the air, and which infects the human system, but is generally killed in so doing, for influenza is but slightly if at all contagious.
 We observe that some feeling of alarm prevailed lest this epidemic be a precusor to cholera, as was the case in 1881 and 1847. There has been, however, plenty of cholera epidemics without preceding influenza, and any associate cholera. The nnicrosorganisms of the two diseases are as essentially differ senta as are the diseases themselves. The cholera germ lives in water and soil, the in- fuenza germ in the air. The relation be- tween the two diseases has been, we believe, purely accidental.

Three Fortunate Literary Men. rM.ox,, Abo philo dol.,1,io Hs.,aor

Among all the artistic and literary men
 who enjoy life, surely Messrs. J. R. Osgood,
 E. A. Abbey and Frank D. Millett stand
 very high. These three are @ host of them-
 selves in London, where they work and enjoy life together. Messrs. Osgood and Abbey
 receive large salaries from the Harpers. and
 MiIlett can sell to the same publishers all tho
 fiction and travel articles he is able to write,
 and all the illustrations he is willing to
 make. He, like his other two companions, spends much time, perhaps half the year, in London, but you always find him in New York during the picture buying season, and in month or two he will be on hand again. Nr. Abbey spends more time in England than at home, and among his friends has come to be looked upon as quite an English man, with his broad accent, eyeglasses and admiration for anything British. MT. Osgood fills certainly most downy couch as the English representative of tho firm. whose business it is to dine and wine authors and to push all literary wares Harperward. As to dining and winning authors Osgood stands high. In the days when he ran his own pub- l fishing business in Boston he was the most popular of publishers, liberal perhaps to ex. cess, never counting money when the name of new author was needed for his brilliant 1 list ;but his old competitor, MT. Fl. o. Hough- 1 ton, whose methods were slower and more steady, secured all the great names in lumI | which Osgood had brought together with SC much skill. The London Osgood cut hardly | so broad swarth. It is big place, an6 l there is more to talk about than in the liter arv world of Boston.

sECRETARY W7NDO0,s PLAN

SECRETARY wINDOM's PLAN.
 Secretary Windom's silver scheme has not been received with enthusiasm. Several weak points have already been discovered in it. The Financial Chronicle, whose views attention and respect, as those of an expert, condemns the plan. It concludes that it's practical results would be to inflict upon us all the evils that are apprehended from ab- solutely free coinage of the white metal. That is, the Chronicle thinks that under such an arrangement of free purchase as is proposed all the surplus silver of Europe, in- cluding Germany's stock of demonetized sill. yer, would come in upon our hints. If that is to be so. then on Secretary Windom's own admission the scheme must be set down as dangerous and not entitled to serious con- sideration as practical measure. But the secretary held that there would be no such inflow of foreign silver, because there would be no inducement to freight it here only to get for it the same price that 1t could com mand at home. The Chronicle, with more intimate knowledge of the methods of buy ers and sellers, points out that it would ob- vieusly be for the interest of silver holders everywhere to send their offerings to the New York rather than the London market, thus creating "famine prices" at the latter point, where the market price of silver is determined, and leaving their metal at a point where it could have sure purchaser the moment prices reached an apparent maximum.
 The best judges seem to agree that the secretary's plan would provoke speculation and give the secretary of the treasury power that he ought not to have. The plan is probably already as good as dead.

pean planters who have entered into this business in the Indian province of Assam.

A traditional usage of Portugal was car ried out at Lisbon some days after the funer- al of the late king. At three principal places in the city platforms were erected, covered with black cloth, and procession passed from one place to the other. The chief municipal officers of the city and the chief personages of the late royal household, all clad in deep mourning, formed the pros cession, which was preceded and followed by cavalry in mourning, the colors draped in black. Bands accompanied the march. Four shields, on which were painted the royal arms, were borne aloft on long slaves. At the platform all the principal persons took up their places upon it, and one of the shield bearers, advancing to the front, pro- claimed in a chanting tone, "Weep, O Portu- guese, for your King Dom Luis I. is dead" He then dashed the shield to the ground with such violence that it was shattered. This ceremony was repeated at the other plat~ forms. Then the procession moved to the Church of Santo Antonio da Sc, where sol emn requiem service was held. During the whole ceremony all the bells of the city were tolled.
 In the course of stormy debate the other day in the Diet of Bohemia on the proposal to erect a commemorative tablet in the museum to John Huss, measure which was vigorously opposed by the Conservatives and Clericals, Prince Charles Schwarzenberg caused an uproar by assailing the Bohemian reformer in the bitterest language, declaring that the latter must be considered as the incarnation of resistance to the Roman Cath- olic church, and that he had been the bearer of an .incendiasy torch which had spread ruin and desolation throughout Europe. Upon this several members cried excitedly, "You would burn Huss to-day if he were alive" Prince schwarzenberg thereupon amidst great uproar exclaimed that he was descendant of those Rosenbergs whose crest, the rose, had been the emblem of the Catho- lies in their war against the Hussites. ''There were few honest men among the Hussites," the prince continued, "and they soon became a band of mere brigands." Being violently interrupted at this point, the speaker added excitedly, "Yes, and should be glad to unfurl against you to-day, neo- Hussites that you are. the blue and white banner of the Schwarzenbsrgs."

 Where Famous Road and Track
 Horses are Passing Their Last Days.
 From the Philadelphia Press.l
 What has become of the geldings that were prominent on tke trottipg turf after they be- come too old for road use, is question that is frequently asked and which few can an- swer. Many of the faster ones arc for time easily traced, but they soon drop out of sight and eventually disappear. Such is the fate of St. Julien, 2:111z, who is now pass
 ing his declining years in comfortable pad- dock at Petaluma, Cal, under the sky where
 he first showed the bursts of speed that ulti. mately made him king of the turf. Rarus, 2:13L, the horse he deposed, stands in his
 box stall in Robert Bonner's stable in West
 Fifty-ffth street, New York. For three
 years he has not felt the pavement beneath away all records at Buffalo eleven years ago

 his name supplanted that of Gold
 smith Maid in the affection of the public. With Hopeful, 2:13 3-4, another phase of equine life is found. He was in his day as celebrated as Rarus CT even St. Julien, was magnificent race horse to harness or wagon, and an ideal road trotter. When his racing days were over the gallant little gray began to drift about the country, eventually pulling up ct Sing Sing prison in New York State, where he was kept and owned by promi- nent detective. Of late, however, he has passed into the hands of Maryland gentle man, who considers it an honor to own the trotter that has the fastest heats to wagon among his achievements. Few, if any, of 1 the horses campaigned by Dan Mace were 90 popular as Darby, ,S:16 1-s. Darby was good race horse and trotted twice to his record. Ten years ago he defeated Dick Swiveler, | Hannis and Driver at Utica, making his record in the third heat. The following year 1 he disposed of Hopeful and Great Eastern at Rochester after the former had won two heats
 in 2:151s, 2:1614. The time was very fast, l but Darby was equal to the emergency. As | old age crept on the brown gelding he, like
 many another that had been prominent

The epidemic of influenza which we have already referred to as occurring in Russia has spread into Finland and eastern Prussia, and is not unlikely to spread throughout Europe, and even reach this country. The disease travels rapidly, and has been known to make all Europe sneeze within six weeks, so that we may expect an arrival here before our winter months are over. It used to be thought that this epidemic moved in dein- ite cycles of 100 years. Although such an

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

A GOOD EXAMPLE,.
 They have some good ideas in .Massachu- setts, and especially in Boston. One of the latest has taken shape in a movementto form an association which will include the health officials of the different cities and towns in the State. The purposes of this organization will be to discuss topics and hear papers of sanitary interest; to aid legislation and d, sses cure uniform interpretation and enforcement of existing statutes in relation to the public health; to compare the rules of local boards and city ordinances for the purpose of ad- vanoing the objects for which they are framed; to secure cooperation between local boards in all the work which they are called upon to perform, and last, to establish pleas ant and helpful social relations between the boards of health throughout the common wealth. A preliminary meeting for organi- zation is to be held in Boston at an early day by invitation of the city board of health, and there is avery reason to believe that the plan of the promoters of this proposed organiza- tion will soon be realized. The idea is a good one, and it could be adopted in Connecticut with advantage.

It is sometimes said that the branches of very old trees are, properly speaking, roots, and that if planted upside down, the trees would flourish. Herr Kny, @ German botan- ist, has recently investigated the matter by planting vines and ivy with both ends in the ground and subsequently cutting them at each arch. The experiments were fairly successful, though not in every instance; and Herr Kny intends to continue them with other plants and trees, such as willows, pop. ars, and roses.
