How Hair.ClOth is Made.

Many pc ople understand, of course, how hair cloth is made, but for the edi- fication of those who do not, we will explain the process. In the first place, horse-hair cannot be died. It repels coloring matter; so to make black cl oth it IS necessary to secure natural black hair. The horses, in many cases abso- lutely wild, running unrestrained, are regularly coralled and shorn. Of course black hair is preferable, but sometimes gray stock is utilized. Not only the tails, but also the names are cut; the hair is punched. These punches seldom contain hairs of less length than two feet; some are even three and B feet, and the thickness of the punches is usu- ally two or three inches. The hair cloth looms are provided with what we may call nipper, in place of shuttle, and the nipper is so finely actuated that it travels across the warp and scizes from the punches one hair only, the jaws of the nipper being too fine to grasp more than one, and carries it across the weft threads, dropping it
 nto it's exac. place. The action of the iloom mechanically forces the hair mex to it's predecessor, the warp crosses up on it, snugly holds it in it's place, the nip per travels back and seizes another, and so on and on. The delicacy and almost human accuracy with which each separ- ate hair is placed between the warp threads is re.lly incredible. -Uphoz oforo1

tho occupants of the various pews, and know also their financial rating in Wall

tho occupants of the various pews, and know also their financial rating in Wall street, you could count enough money kings to represent an aggregate fortune of $40O, 900, 900. First and foremost in the congregation is little old man with brownish red beard who is re- sponsibe for Dr. John Halls coming to America, for be it known that Hall is an Irishman, and like many others of that favored land has copious flow of choice words. This little old man is Robbert Bonner. Bonner heard him in Dublin one Beautiful Sunday morning and was so struck by his oratory that he called on him and invited him to come to America. This Dr. Hall did in time
 and today he is the leading pulpit ora tor of this city, with an income ranging anywhere from $75, 900 to $1oo, 900; $2O, 900 is paid him as pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church; $10, 900 more is paid him by MT. Bon. ner, or rather his sons, for weekly contribution to their story paper.
 His wealthy congregation gives him $10, 900 year moro in gifts, and the wealthy young men and the wealthy papas of the upper ten in New York pay him magnifcently for his services in marrying their sons and daughters. He has managed by investment to accumu- late $1, 900, 900, yet he gives hberally to the poor and supports numerous char ities. There is, perhaps, no preacher in the United States who is so inde- pendent as he. Like all true Irishmen, he loves plenty of out door exercise, is good walker, and believes in the good things of this life. With Mr. Bonner he frequently bowls through Central Park, and he knows good horse nearly as we'll as that expert. He lives in gorgeous house, surrounded by every luxury and routine of servants. His library is a revelation, even to men who love books, and from the stiff-necked butler who admits you at the door to the smallest and most unimportant persons in the house there is eviden nee of solidity and wealth that is encouraging to young men who wish to grow up in the ministry.

Dream.S0ng.

 The sweetness of loving Is dreaming Sweet dreams that will never come true, With the star of hope blissfully beaming In bright and impossible blue; Dreaming that VOWS fondly spoken Will ever be true as they seem; Dreaming that hearts ne'er are broken; Dreaming that life is dream.
 O Fate, awake me not, Sweet dreams forsake me not. Shine on fair star in love's beautiful blue.
 Dreaming you love me yet,
 Dreaming you'll ne'er forget, Let me not waken to find love untrue. The sorrow of love is waking To world that is wittered and old, With the star of hope swiftly forsaking A sky that is faded and coll; Waking when time hath bereft us Of all that the future endears; Waking when nothing is left uS Nothing but memories and tears.
 o Fate awake me not,
 Sweet dreams forsake me not Shine on fair star in loves beautiful blue.
 Dreaming you love me yet
 Dreaming you'll ne'er forget Let me not waken to find love untrue. -Samaet Peek tn Atlanta Consultation.

The Boston 1ranscript says: "There is one man in St. Louis who appreciates the laws delays. His name is Dier- berger, and in May, 1883, he deliber- ately shot and killed man in horse car. On his first trial he was promptly convicted of murder in the first degree. The supreme court reversed the judg- ment. There was new trial and he was sentenced to twenty-five years im- prisonment. The sentence seemed too severe to Dierberger. He appealed, got a new trial and was sentenced to ten years in prison. But even this conces- sion did not satisfy him. One day re- gently the case was taken up on his renewed appeal, and was compromised on one year in jail and $1, 900 fine. Let others speak slightingly of the laws delays. Dierberger will always say they saved his life.

The Boston Transript has discovered that people in the habit of leaving newspapers and packages on tho top of street letter boxes cannot expect the aid of the United States in punishing pur- loiners. Packages so left are not depos- ited in the mails within the meaning of the law, and stealing them is no offense against the Uaited States statutes. It is, of course, an offense against the laws of the State wherein it is committed, and the local police must be looked to for tho arrest of the purioiners.

VOL. XIX.
The Cry of the Dreamer.

I am tired of planning and toiling In the crowded hives of men; Heart weary of building and spelling And spelling and building again. And long for the dear old river Where dreamed my youth aws For dreamer lives forever,
 And a toiler dies in day. I am sick of the showy seeming, Of . life that Is half lie; Of the faces lined with scheming, In the throng that hurries by. From the sleepless thoughts endeavor, would go where the children play; For dreamer lives forever, And toiler dies in day. I feel no pride, but pity
 For the burdens the rich endure; There is nothing sweet in the city But the patient lives of the poor. Oh, the little hands so skilful
 And the child mind choked with weeds, The daughters heart grows wiful, And the fathers heart that bleeds No, no! from the streets rude hustle, From trophies of mart and stage l would fly to the woods low rustic, And the meadows kindly page. Let me dream as of old by the river, And be loved for the dream alway; For a dreamer lives forever,
 And toiler dies in day.

A PALACE on WHEELS.

The Novel Tour of nm Englishman Through
Great Britain.
Perhaps the new est idea of the movement
is driving tour undertaken in van built
expressly for the purpose on the principle
of those used by the gipsies.
There are two such in England now; the
newest is the Rover, which is a marvel of
compactness, says the London Court Jour
nal The exterior is painted dark blue,
picked out with red. There are two box
seats, each roomy receptacles. There is a
hanging meat safe on the outside, and
room for fodder beneath; at tine back other
things can be slowed away, and not an
inch of room need be wasted.
The inside is model of compactness: 1t
is prettily arranged with tiny Japanese fans
and photographs, the windows hung with
colored muslin; a double bed has a double
debt to pay, for during the day it forms a
single sofa.
In one corner there is table built into
the wall and on it is q capacious stationery
cabinet, below three fair-sized drawers for
clothes. In the opposite corner, covered in,
are all the washing paraphernalia, in
another the yankee idea" steam cooker, at
which, by means of spirits, most excellent
dinner can be cooked.
In each corner, by the ceiling, are more
cupboards, so that, like the snail. the owner
carries not only his house, but all the re-
quirements of his life with him.
The owner of the Rover is Just about to
start for the West of England with his wife,
accompanied by q coachman, and the Jour
ney is attracting not little attention.

HE WAS ABDUCTED.
A Chicago Mans Sad Tale-Kidnnped and
Married, and Now Seeking Divorce
From whenever He Married

| A Chicago Mans Sad Tqle-Kidnnped and
Married, and Now Seeking Divorce
From whenever He Married
His Mysterious Bride.
CHICAGO, August 18.-Charles Mitchell,
q young man. has applied to the courts for
a divorce. If his tale is true something
should be done for him on account of the
wrongs he has suffered and the patience
with which he has endured them. Mr..
Mitchell tells the court that just about
year ago he was wandering beneath the
pleasant shades Of Evanston, neither
thinking nor doing i'll, when two
strange men accosted him and told
him they were detectives and had a
warrant for his arrest. He followed them
submissively to q place where they met
third man, who told Mr.. Mitchell that ne
must 90 at once to Chicago, and there be
married to a young woman whose name, ne
says, he had never before heard. He was so
paralyzed by this information that he made
no effort to get his freedom. He did not cry
out and implore the aid of the bystanders
There would have been humanity enough In
Evanston to rescue him from his impending
doom ifhe had cried out that he had been
kidnapped, and was on his way to the altar
OF sacrifice.
He was carried to Chicago hotel and
there locked up. Instead of ringing the
bell, getting a boy, and sending him for the
police, this remarkable young man waited
in gloomy patience for the inevitable. He
did not stick his head out of the window
and cry for help, nor scribble note telling
of his forlorn condition and throw it into
the street hoping that some one would pick
it up and hasten to his relief He did none
of the things which innocent young men
do when they have been snatched away
from their friends and immured in gloomy
dungeons. At last there came a minister
whom he had never seen before and young
woman who was quite as much of a stranger
to him. A marriage ceremony was per-
formed, though he frequently interrupted
it with his protests, and when it was over
he was told to 20 bis way, which he did,
and since theDhe has been musing over the
whole inexplicable affair. He has not
seen his wife since, and doubts If he would
know her.
1t is an unpleasant position for man to
be in to know that he has wife and yet not
know who or where that wife is. For all
that he knows she NAV suddenly begin to
run up bills in his name. She may burst In
upon him when he is in the pleasant society
Of ladies or is having jolly time of it with
men, and claim him as her own. A wife
lurking somewhere in the darkness is con-
slant menace. A man in such plight may
meet and fall in love with his wife, and ap-
ply for a divorce from her, so be may marry
her. All this Mr.. Mitchell put up with for
a year, and finally asked the court to put
him out of his misery.

fsrEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrArcHi
JoHNsTowN, August 18.-Yesterday was
pay day at the Cambria Iron Works, as
well as among the men working for the
State. As consequence there was great
deal of drinking last night. The police
gathered in a number of the boisterous
rufians, but as there is no place to confne
many, large number that should have
been arrested were allowed to continue their
disgraceful doings. If the present state Of
things continues radical measures will have
to be adopted by the officials to preserve the
peace.
A slight fire back of the business build
ings Of the public square last night led to
the belief that the buildings were on hre
and quite an excitement was created for
sometime. These buildings are recognized
as being good food for the flames, and great
care is exercised by all the occupants. The
fire engine that formerly was kept on the
corner near these buildings has been re.
moved to another point, and 1t is urged that
it should be stationed here again. The
question of maintaining fire department Is
causing q great deal Of trouble.
For the past six weeks paid department
has been sustained at an expense OF about
500 day. They do efficient service and
are really needed for the protection of the
town, but the propriety of paying them from
the relief fund is questionable. -Four Phil
adelphia engines are in use that have been
kindly loaned, but steps will likely soon be
taken to get new engines and reduce the ex-
penses of the paid department

furnace Iaborers here this evening, which
created great excitement, and for time
promised to result very seriously. A dozen
or more "Huns" had been drinking in a

stop the disorder. About 3 o'clock they
made rush for the residence of Mrs. Nc
Laughlin and broke down the front door.
Marshal Burns ran to her rescue and five
OF the Huns attacked him. One threw an
ak at the marshal, which only missed him

was also wounded in the arm, but knocked
out two of his assailants before assistance
arrived, when the Huns scattered and Burns
was safe. Seven arrests were made.
