The Plain Truth of 1t.

Senator Vance of North Carolina during
the tariff debate last Friday, had tilt with
Senator Hawley of Connecticut, in which
he showed the hypocrisy practised by New
England manufacturers and representatives
on the tariff question. In reply to an in
quiry of the Connecticut Senator, MI.
Vance made the following centre shot:
''Mr. President, there never was q great
er piece af hypocrisy exhibited by mankind
in its most debased attitude than this pre-
tense of dislike to foreigners. You only
dislike the foreigner when he brings some
thing to sell. When he brings blanket or
pair of shoes or anything else to sell
cheaper than you are willing to make it
and sell it at, you despise the foreigner
and you appeal to all kinds Of prejudices
against him; but when the foreigner comes
himself to underbid and under work the
American laborer and take the bread from
his mouth and the mouth of his children,
you welcome him with open arms and with
hypocritical embrace. That is what is uni
versally done.
sOne-half of the factories of New Eng
land now are filed with men who are not
even naturalized citizens of the United
States, but who come across the border
from Canada and elsewhere to labor here
and return with the proceeds of their labor.
You welcome that foreigner when he comes
in the midst of your strikes, whom you can
use for the purpose of putting down and
suppressing the efforts of labor to secure
its share in this taxation that is imposed in
It's name; but when he comes with anything
to sell he is anathema maranatha, and
all men are social traitors who desire to
purchase his products at reasonable price.

A Passion for Jewels.

Leo ", emperor of the east, was passion
ately fond of jewelry. The Byzantine his
torians assert that, being present in the
church of st. Sophia on Sept s, $50, he was
struck by the splendor Of the precious stones
in crown which Emperor Maurice had sus-
pended above the altar Immediately renov-
ing it, he put it on his head and carried it
into his palace. The superstition of the age
affirmed that this act of sacrilege was pun
ished by an eruption of the skin, which, in q
few days, terminated his life at the age of 80.
The historian Platina ascribes the death Of
Pope Paul II to similar cause. He was SO
fond of jewels that he spent immense sums of
money in collecting them from all quarters,
and in these purchases exhausted the treasury
of the church. Whenever he appeared in
public his head did not seem to be that of a.
mitered prelate, but rather ''of q Phrygian
Cybele, loaded with towers" To the weight

people were In among the debris carrying
out bricks, pulling away timbers, and as
sisting wherever they could, all at the
same time, but their work was slow COM
pared with the demand for the rescue OF
the victims of the disaster.
THE SCENE NEXT DAY,
READING, Jan. 10.-All night long brave
and willing hands assisted in the work OF
the rescue of the dead. The disaster is
fully as bad as reported in these dispatches
last night The list of fatal cases will fully
reach one hundred and may be more. The
hospitals and undertakers' establishments
are filled up with the victims. The physi-
clans are all busy and many private houses
have, been opened for the accommodation
of the injured. Teams of every description
-omnibuses, funeral coaches, fine wagons,
hospital vans, and private yehicles--were
pressed into service and were running "a
pidly to and from the scene of the disaster
all night long, bearing bodies Of the
wounded, dying and dead.to their homes,
or to the different hospitals. From the
statement of some of those who escaped
from the building, it appears to have gone
down in an instant. There was loud
crash of the breaking timber, and the per-
sons in the mill all rushed toward the
the main doors. A good many of them
succeeded in getting out, while four girls
saved themselves by jumping from second
story windows The first rumbling noise
was followed instantly by the falling of
building, the upper story going first with
it's human load.

think, daughter, if you wed not there will
be no king for our country when die, and
one must be appointed, who may prove bad
one; but, if you love and marry, you can
have naught but good fortune, and your hus-
band will be the king in my place. You can
love husband, my daughter, and yet love
me none the less.n
The princess left her father, saying: "I
shall never know love for any one but thee"
But she knew not what she spoke, as often
occurs in this uncertain world. Before the
month was out a messenger from the prince
of far distant country came to the king,
saying his master had had vision, in which
he was told that in this country there lived
most beautiful princess who must become
his bride, and that he had Immediately dis
patched him to beg permission from the king
The king readily gave his consent, well
knowing the fame and great wealth of the
ruler whose son wished to become his success
sor. Accordingly there came in due time a
stately royal ship from the distant country,
which brought the prince and great retinue
The king sent courtiers to receive him, and
brought him to the palace with much pomp
and splendor.
The prince was most handsome young
man, and no sooner had he and the princess
met than they were filed with love for each
other, and each soon felt that there could be
no pleasure away from the other. The beauty
of the princess far exceeded the expectations
of the young prince, and he declared that no
more lovable person than she ever lived
When the prince had been at the castle for
some time he discovered the wonderful pearl
of the princess and asked of her how she had
come by it. Upon her telling the story of the
fairy's gift he was overjoyed and showed her
magic diamond that had been given him in
the same manner. Thereupon the king was
told the circumstances and, all knowing that
the prince and princess were intended for
each other, the betrothal was at once an
nounced throughout all the land and the
most brilliant wedding ever known soon fol-
lowed
The prince proved such good and wise
man that before the king died he gave him
the place of ruler, while he quietly enjoyed a
very happy old age. And the country ever
afterward continued to be well governed,
peaceful and very prosperous
The precious legacies also descended from
generation to generation, as the fairy had
foretold, even unto this day, and are now
known the diamond as Honor and the Dearl
as Virtue.-Translated by George Wagner
from the German of Billinger-W for

Natural Gas.

In view Of the ever expanding enterprise of
American towns and American n1anufac-
lures, and especially in view of American ex-
travagance and wastefulness, it does not ap-
pear probable that natural gas will continue
to supply for many decades, I will not say
years, the favored districts that now enjoy it.
But even if it proves transient, it still has a
most important and benefcent work to do.
1t is bringing in an industrial and economic
revolution of no small proportions, viz: The
replacement of solid by gaseous fuel. It is
educating people by an object lesson as to
what constitutes perfect fuel. The COM
munities that have once enjoyed the luxury
and economy of natural gas will be slow to
return to the barbarisra of raw COAL and heat
and power will at no distant day be distrib-
uted in all our towns from central stations.

A Curious Wager.

A curious bet was made between
prominent member of fashionable club
and a friend. The clubman undertook
TO walk, blindfolded, from the vicinity OF
Grace Church to Madison-square Garden.
He followed Broadway to Union square,
and passing beneath the trees and around
the fountain, reached the end of the jour
new by way of Fourth avenue, to the
great smazement of some Of the circus
men who we're still at work, not
wlthstanding the lateness OF the
hour. A member of turf club
started from his clubhouse with his eyes
bandaged and only a cane in his hand,
crossed Fifth avenue to Twenty-sixth
street, walked with great quickness and
ateadiness up Broadway to Thirty-fourth
street. turned into the avenue at this
point and returned to his starting point
without mishap. Some friends accom-
panied this daring walker, and few
people were attracted to join them. Two
men went before to notify any police
men who might be disposed to inter
fere with this nocturnal journey. The
experimenter had, of course, carefully
studied his ground before beginning his
attempt, for he seemed to count the
number Of his steps, to recognize his
whereabouts, and to move with military
precision past the thousand difficulties
which threatened him. This attempt
only occupied an hour and half, and
before going to bed the bettors had time
to talk it over to the popping of corks
and to pay to the winner a very hand

Machinery for Nail Making.

By a new process OF making nails it is
claimed that the product is greatly in
creased, with large saving of cost. The
process would appear, from the descrip-
ton, to be quite simple, for, instead of
employing the parallel plates, which are
usually about thirteen inches in length,
there are employed plates that, by suita-
Bile knives and dies, produce at single
operation the finished goods. By the
ordinary method the plates must be
turned for every nail cut, whereas by
the improved process plate fully thir-
teen feet in length can be placed in the
machine, the latter feeding itself; and
while at present there are required four
feeders and one mailer to run four ma
chimes, by the new method two feeders
and one mailer easily operate four ma
ceines. Formerly, in turning out ten
penny nails, four machines and five men
were accustomed to make 7 900 pounds
per day, the amount of waste being four
per cent, while according to the new ar
rangement the operation OF four ma
chimes by two men results in the pro-
duction of 10000 pounds per day, with
no waste. The same proportion thus in
dicated is also said to be carried out, by
this means, il all kinds of nails except
horseshoe nails, the latter being more
difficult to make providence Journal.

A Famous English Oartoonist.

The thousands of American readers OF
Punch will regret to hear of the serious
illness of Mr.. Charles Keene, who for
over thirty-five years has entertained the
admirers OF that journal by his comic
drawings. 1t is said that for many years
Mr.. Keene endea vored in vain to make
headway with the proprietors of
Punch, but was met at every
point by the opposition OF John
Leech, who was at that time the most
powerful member of the staff. Young
Keene persisted, however, establishing
himself in garrett for studio, directly
opposite the Office of the paper. His
work made its way for itself, and he
lived to become one of the most famous
OF all the Punch artists. 1t is feared
that his work will not long be seen in
the columns of the journal. This en-
nifty of Leech's toward Keene was, in
deed, very unusual thing. Gentle
hearted, kind to the last degree to young
artists, his steady opposition can
scarcely be explained unless attributed
to jealousy, which seems hardly reason
able under the circumstances. One
other cause may be suggested, however;
Leech's father was man of humble
origin, and kept coffee house on Lud-
gate Hill, but his son was well educated
with Thackeray, at the Charter House.
1t is said, however, that at one time
Keene goodnaturedly poked fun at the
artist, which he resented most bitterly
