Whore Cars Arc Run With sails.

I was looking at some models in the National museum of curious cars used in the early days of railroading in this country, when Mir. Watkins, the curator, pointed out one particular one that had a mast and sails, says writer in the Philadelphia Telegraph Experiments with such cars were made on tho Balti- moro < Ohio and on the South Carolina road. It was then a serious question whether tho motive power on railroads would be sail, horse or steam. The steam locomotive was still looked upon as an experiment.
 Sail cars are used today on guano railroad on the island of Madden, in the South Pacific. They are. ill fact, used nearer home than that, for railroad men at Barnegat beach, when the wind is fla vorable, frequently ride over the road on construction cars-sloop-rigged. "The wind has good deal to do with railroad ing even to-day" MT. Watkins said. ''If you go to the bureau of intelligence at the Broad street station, Philadelphia, and ask whether some train, say from New York, is likely to be on time, you may be informed that it is likely to be four or five minutes late,.. because there Is strong wind from the west. Winds make considerable difference in the running time of trains"

Did Not Get His Autograph.

A story is told of two American girls who were very anxious to obtain for their albums the signature of tho author of the "Apologia." They happened to be staying in Birmingham, and determined to call on him with their request, so, armed with their albums and basket of choice eX- otics, they .set out flor the oratory On their arrival one of the priests took the books and flowers to his Eminence, and after short delay returned, saying that Cardinal Newman never gave his auto graph to anybody, but he sent them copy of .'The Dream of Gerontius, in which he had written "a few words. This was in- decd triumph for one of the fair ones, but how about the other who did not get the book-Pall Mall Gazette.

An Aged War Horse.

"Old Fly" was born in 1855 and was reared on the farm of George A. Barrett, near Stewartsville, Robb township, Posey county, Ind. On the enlistment of the First Indiana cavalry, in the month of June, 1861, MT. Barrett presented Fly to his son George M., under whom she was mustered into the service of the United States in Company B, First Indi- ana cavalry, at Evansville, Ind, July 21, 1861.
 Ridden by her owner, Fly was in the following battles of the war of the rebel lion: Frederickstown, Mo. Round Hill, Ark. Helena, Ark. Oakland, Miss. Little Rock, Ark. Pine Bluff, Ark. Mount Elba. Ark. Marks Mill, Ark, and innumerable skirmishes. She was in the army three years and two months, having been mustered out of service at Indianapolis, Ind, in the month of September, 1864. During her term in the service she was ever ready for duty and did her full share. Mr. A. w. Barrett, of Stewards vile, Ind, writes: "Old Fly Is still living at her home near Stewartsville, Ind. AL though she is 34 years old and has not lain down by herself for three or four years, she Is seemingly full of life and vigor, and is ready for duty at any time. Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Donkey Killed The Bulldog.

A burro and a bulldog had fight re- gently in Fresno Cal. Burro is in Cali fornian for donkey. The buTo was browsing on cookie burrs by the roadside, when the bulldog trotted along, stopped, and without growl. seized the donkey by the shank bone of the off hlnd leg. The donkey immediately brought. his hind quarters into action, and its legs and the dog flew through the air in a most active way, fer the latter refused to to let go.
 The burro kicked and kicked, and then he tried to roach the dog with his mouth, but unavailingly. Then the burro laid down on its back, and brought it's hind legs forward toward his head. He shut his jaws on the dogs back, and slowly straightened out. The dog without finch ing kept its grip on the shank bone. But the e:donkey had just as much grit, and kept on strengthening itself out, the strain was causing the flesh and muscles to be terribly lacerated. The dog let go first. The burro kept it's hold on the dog s back, and in second was standing on its feet, with the dog dangling from its mouth. The burros leg was terribly lacerated, but he did not seem to mind. He limped across tho road, and deliber- ately pausing several times to rest, rubbed tho dog back and forth over barbed wire fence until it was killed.
 The dog did not howl from the begin ming to the end. Tho burro returned to his cookie burrs.-New York Sun.

A Now Cartridxs

A rife cartridge has been invented in France, and some surprising results have been obtained with it at the Vincennes ranges. The new cartridge, which is similar in appearance, weight, and every other detail to tho Lebel cartridge, ia claimed to possess considerable adva1 tages. In the first place, the metal jacket Is entirely dispensed with. and the cartridge can be instantly adapted to all military rifles, especially the Grass which is still borne by the French terri torial corps. Finally, the cartridge is said to be smokeless, and does not foul or clog the barrel, while the cost Is 70 per cent below the price of the ordinary eartsidRe-BrpadA Arrow.

MIR. BARNUM'S SUCCESSOR.

The selection of Mir Calvin $. Brice to succeed the late William H. Barnum as chairman of the national democratic committee was the natural and certain result of the prevailing conditions. His work as chairman of the executive com mittee during the Cleveland campaign, when he worked unsparingly and unsel- fishly for the success of the national ticket, earned him the promotion that has now come to him. His advance ment will be hailed with satisfaction and rejoicing everywhere in the democratic party.
 MT Brice is an energetic worker, al ways ready and willing to sacrifice him. self for the party and never losing hope under the most discouraging circum- stances. It is this latter trait that has earned for him the reputation of a too mercurial temperament, but hls hopeful ness is of that kind which is infectious and rouses men to action for the cause in which they ale enlisted. His political experience previous to the last cam PdiSh iitu Aoe DSSAa paAeASul'iiy SAtCilo sive, but his work during those trying times earned for him the confidence and respect of his fellow committeeman, the national candidates and the democratic party at large. In his larger field as chairman of the national committee we are confident he will add to his reputa- tion as an energetic, industrious, com potent and inspiring political leader. His work for the ensuing three years will not be arduous, but it can be made very effective, and we believe that MT Brice will be found equal to all the emergen- cies of his position.
 The national committee did it's work well when it chose as Mir Barnum's suc- cessor the brilliant, hopeful and ener- getic Calvin s. Brice.

asoRE PRECIOUS THAN COLD.
Gailium Is by Far the Rarest and
 Most Costly of Metals.

Fully ninety-nine persons in every hun- lred, if asked to name the most precious neE3,ls, would menticn gold as first, plat inum as second, silver as third. If asked to uanlG others, q few might add nickel, and q very few aluminium to tho list.
 Let us see how near the truth they would be, says tho St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat Gold is worth about s2I0 per pound, troy: platinum, Sl3O, and silver, about SIP. Nickel w0;ild be quoted at about 60 cents and pure aluminium SS to S9 to the troy pound.
 We will now compare these prices with those of the rarcr and less well known of the metals. To take them in alphabeti- cal order, barium sells fnr S9i5 pound, when it is sold at all, and calcium is worth s1, 800 pound. Cerium is a shade hisher-its cost Is S160 an ounce, or Sl ,92O pound.
 These begin to look like fabulous prices, but they do not reach the highest point; chromium brings S200, cobalt falls to about half the price of silver, while didymium is the same price as cerium, and ccrium S10 cheaper on the ounce than calcium. or just Sl ,GSo per pound.
 If the wealth of the Nandcrblts be not overestimated, it amounts to nearly S2o0, ,0oo, ,OOO. With this sum they could purchase 3l2 tons of gold and have something left over, but th"y couldn't buy two tons of gallium, that r.;r., metal be- ing worth 4,2o0 an ounce. With this metal tho highest price Is reached, and it may well be called the rarest and most precious of metals.
 Glucinum is worth S25O per ounce; h. dium. S15S; irinium, S65S per pound lanthanium. $l75, and linthum, Sl6O per ounce. NioGium costs SIPS per ounce asmium, palladium, platinum, potassium and rhouiuIn bring. respectively, S64O, $400, S39, s32 aud S512 per pound. Stron- tium costs SIPS an ounce; tantium, $144 tellurium, So ;athorium, $272; vanadium, S32O; vitrium, $144, and zirconium S25C an ounce.
 Thus we see that the commonly re- | ceived opinion as to what are the most precious metals is quite erroneous | Barium is more than four times as valua blc as gold and gallium more than 16. | times as costly, while many of the metals are twice and thrice as valuable. Aluminium, which now costs SS to $9 6 pound, will eventually be produced as | cheap as steel. When this can be done 1 it will push the latter metal out of a great many of it's present uses, as it possesses great strength, toughness and elasticity ! with extreme lightness of weight Its sources of supply are ineXhaustible, and | it's present high cost arises from the difh 1 culty of its extraction In q metallic form
 Iridium seems to be chiefly used fol pointing gold pens, and many of tht metals mentioned have but a limited sphere of usefulness.

Ten CiUnrettes.

The ingenuity of the women of London and Paris in inventing new dissipation Is without limit. To the morphine habit the devotees of Sensationalism have now added tho practice of smoking tea cigar cites. Special grades of the finest tea arc used, and the effect of the cigarettes is said to be delightful for fully an hour after ono has been smoked. After that comes the reaction in the form of a nerv- ous trembling and excitability, but which is subdued, according to woman of title, who rather goes in for all these things, by thimbleful of frozen absinthe. Thus by indust iously ringing the changes on morphine tea cigarettes and absinthe,
 with q few intrigueS, some scandal and a raft of white hot French novels the woman of society manages to worry through the ay.-Philadelphia Press. ss

day to get settled in their quarters and Saturday is usually barren of military practice in the hurry of breaking camp and returning home. Four days can hardly be said to give sufficient time for the results intended by camp life and practice, and the two days additional that are provided for in the proposed change cannot be other than beneficial. If it be of value that the state militia be given taste of actual military life as disclosed in the experience of the camp-and this fact has already been settled to the satisfaction of all-then it must be admitted that the | two days extra, which can be had by | the change proposed without serious in convenience to anyone, would be of the greatest advantage. It would not be
 necessary that the men should lose mere
 they now take from their private busi- ness, for the rendezvous at Mantle | might be made at such a timc on Satur- | day that all could remain at their civ
 ilian post until Saturday noon. We
 have heard it said, by those who know
 whereof they speak, that officers and
 men are practically unanimous in favor
 ing the change. The new plan should
 at least, therefore, be given trial, and
 we are confident that it will demonstrate
 its superiority over the system now in
 vogue.
 We hope the legislature will pass the | biil-such action will be heartily ap-
 proved by all concerned.

MIR CHARLES H. LITCHMAN has been appointed a special agent of the treasury with headquarters in Boston. Thus IS he rewarded for his effort to turn over the Knights of Labor vote to Harrison and Morton last fall. Charley is one of those men who in advocating the cause of labor had one eye on the work ingmen and the other on himself. It will be noticed that the one he had on himself could see the farthest and sharpest.

THE New York World instances the appointment of a republican postmaster at Shushan in Washington county, N. Y., who was indicted in October, 1882, for feloniously breaking into a house and attempting an assault on a woman, as a left-handed compliment to the cause of civil servlce reform. Is'nt the World a ? trife nasty? This man is a republican, and that fact is regarded sufficient in the eyes of our Sunday school postmaster general to condone a little thing like felonious assault. In Wanamaker's opinion, the government belongs to the saints, and republicans are the saints. Characters like the Shushan postmaster are obnoxious only when they are dem- ocrats.

GIVE THE BOYS THE BENEFIT.

GIVE THE BOYS THE BENEFIT.
 There is before the legislature bill ordering the National guard into camp at Mantle on Saturday instead of on Monday, thus giving the boys the benefit of a full week in the tented city. So far as we have seen the matter referred to in the state press, the bill has found favor everywhere, and it seems to be the unanimous desire of all, citizens and sol diers, that the bill may pass.
 Under the present system the boys have practically but four days in camp for it takes them the better part of Mon.

THE governing authorities of the An cient Order of Hibernians, and indeed the ruling spirits of Irish American or ganizations generally, have called upon the branches under them to contribute to the fund for the detection of the mur- derers of Dr Cronin. This is convincing proof that the murder is regarded as a serious blow to the Irish cause, unless, indeed, as seems likely enough. it can be traced to causes that are wholly apart from connection with Irish affairs. Ire lands friends everywhere will hope the mystery may be speedily cleared up.

SOME of the republican papers in the state, like the New Haven Palladium, are making a bluff to compare Governor Bulkeley to Governor Hill Tn point of ability. This is rough on Hill, but Bulkeley has gained something anyway by his veto. He seems to have had greatness thrust upon him.
