NO DOGS ARE TO BE TAKEN IN THE CARS

and no return tickets are issued for dogs.
Many of the baggage cars have dog com
partments and cats, monkeys, rabbits and
guinea pigs are sent along at dog rates.
Not long ago woman came to one of the
stations with turtle in her hand and was
about to enter the car with it when the
guard stopped her. She showed him the
turtle and asked him whether she could
take it inside. He replied:

Nearly all the railroads in India are
under the government and many of the
roads were built by the government guaran-
teeing per cent, to the stockholders on
the condition that the profits above per
cent. shall be equally divided between the
government and the stockholders Over
others of the roads the government has
sort of control and the result is that the
tenure of place on the railroad is much the
same as that of the civil service of England.
MEN EXPECT TO STAY A LIFETIME
when they enter the railroad service. and
there is no danger of their discharge during
good behavior. There are no strikes in
India and a position on the railroad is CON
sidered very desirable by the natives

eminent owning the roads, almost altogether
in favor of the road, and our farmers would

American has a cow killed on the track of
a road running through his farm, the rail

the owner of cattle found trespassing on the

animal across an Indian railway except

The Old and the New.

We admit that the dialect novels and
short stories since the war are of delight
full flavor and are unique and charming,
and the works in the south before the
war were not equal to them. But out OF
the field of fiction we see no superiority
in southern writers now over those of
forty years ago. In poetry, criticism,
able and elaborate articles on great sub
jects, history, biography, and so on, we
see no advance in the south beyond thirty
and forty years since. In the north what
histories since the war equal those Of
Bancroft, Motley and Prescott? The soli-
tary biography that is superior to those
before the war is Schurz's Henry Clay,
and he is German. What criticism and
high thinking in the north equals Emer-
song WHAT poetry of today equals the
best of New England, including Bryant,
before the year 1s60?-W Wilmington IN.

1t would be ludicrous were IL not SO
painful to see how old are the children
of today. While walking the other day
was dumbstruck in this wise. Two
little boys in round jackets approached a
daintily dressed little girl of seven. One,
touching his cap to her with Chester
fieldian grace, drew forward the blush
ing owner of the other round Jacket,
saying: "Allow me, Miss Almira, to pre-
sent TO you my friend, Mr.. Smith," The
little lady recognized Mr.. Smith after the
most approved adult fashion, and went
on my way "a sadder but wiserp
woman. Before had time to recover
from this heard boy of six ask little
girl of ten: MARY, what do you think
of the men?" Mary, bridling with edi-
flying Indignation, answered.: Haven't /
told you repeatedly, sir, never to ask me
that question:" Judging from present
symptoms kites, hoops. dolls and balls
win be in small request in few years.
Male babies in the cradle will then smoke
cigars and female babies will cry for a

OF recent years a custom has arisen Of
styling marquis the ''most honorable =
instead Of the most noble" which was
the prevailing mode. l have always
held that the '.most noble" is the correct
style, and find that Mr.. Porny, in his
excellent work on "Heraldry," when
describing the coronet of a marquis, says:
''This is to be understood as the coronet
Of a real marquis. whose title is most
noble, which / mention lest any one
should be led into mistake by not dis
tinguishing real marquis, i. e., by Gre
alton, from a nominal marquis, i. e., the
eldest son Of q duke; the latter Is only
styled most honorable. Notes and

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
THE PRTwoRrH SUBDIVISION.

MesEs. B. II. Warner and Geo. F. Emmons
we're before the District Commissioners yes
terday in relation to the subdivision of the Pet
worth property, north of the Soldiers home
grounds. The District Commissioners decided
to approve the subdivision and permit it to be
recorded when some changes are made in con-
formity with the regulations made by the
Commissioners. The streets will be named in
accordance with the system devised by Cap
tain Symons. Captain Symons recommended
that the owners be required TO lay out alleys in
all the squares, but the Commissioners deemed
this unnecessary. The streets in their general
direction conform to the city streets. There
is a slight difference in the north and south
streets, but as these are interrupted by the Sol
diers home grounds and can never be Joined

to have them correspond exactly with the city
streets.

southeast, has been completed by the con-
tractors, Messrs. Goodrich Il Co. Chief Paris
took possession of it yesterday. The engine
intended for this house, which was overhauled
at McDermotts, was hauled into the house to-
day, and the new No. Scompany took possession.
Workmen were engaged to-day in completing
the electric wire connections. Tomorrow the
new engine company will be in position to re-
spond to an alarm. The house cost 1891.

Owing to the complaint made by Col. Hains
against the manure piles belonging to H. Clay

Another international Match

REPORT THAT Mr.. BARCLAY, OF THE BRITISH
LEGATION. is ENGAGED TO MISS LETTER.
Washing ton letter in New York Times
Indications point to a marriage in the diplo-
matte corps, and that, too, at no far distant
date. The Benedict-elect is Mr. Barclay, of the
British legation, whose devotion to the hand
some young daughter of Mr. Letter, of Chicago
has for year past been the subject of much
pleasant comment in society. The wedding
has not yet been announced. but the matter
seems to have been tacitly agreed upon by the
friends of the young people. A little incident
ton for the young lady occurred early
last summer, when Miss Letter accom-
panied her father abroad. About the
same time MIR. Barclay conceived the idea of
spending the summer in Europe, and naturally
desired to cross in the same vessel. To this
end he made all his plans, and. accompanied
by his valet. proceeded to New York intending
to give the young lady and her father a sur
prise by suddenly appearing on deck
when the vessel was well under way
Having seen that his traps were ar
ranged to his satisfaction in his state
room. Mr.. Barclay sent his valet out to ascer-
tam where his friends were to be found The
man returned with the startling announcement
that not only were Mr.. and Miss Letter not
aboard, but their names were not down as pas-
sengers by that steamer Quick as a flash the
young man remembered the name of a certain
vessel of the French line which had been once
or twice casually mention by his friends, and
| the idea occurred to him that at the last mo-
ment change of plans had been made and
passage taken on that line. Hastily snatching
| up his travelling satchel. Mr. Barclay sent his
| man ashore TO hail a cab. into which he jumped
| and with promises of liberal reward babe the
driver get him TO a certain dock with all speed
The young attache soon landed at the
wharf, where he had just time to toss the cab
| man his fee and hasten aboard when the vessel
sailed. Mr.. Barclay found his surmise correct
and that his friends were passengers on the
French steamer. Directions to his valet to
| follow by the Cunarder with his baggage were
dispatched by the pilot from Sandy Hook and
| the young Englishman, with no better accom-
| modations for his toilet than those afforded by
his satchel. had the happiness of crossing in
the same steamer with the object of his ad-
miration.

Gamblers Homage to joss.

From the Portland Oregolian.
The rites of pagan worship were celebrated
in Chinatown until late hour last evening.
and formed an interesting spectacle. The
Celestial gamblers were paying homage to
their joss to secure luck in the games. Small
paper bonfires were started at intervals all up
and down both sides of I'd street. each of which
was tended by two Mongolians.
The bontires were made OF a certain kind of
prepared paper, which is supposed to possess
a peculiar quality of sacredness. Before each
fire a bundle OF joss sticks and several red and
white wax candles were lighted. large sal
yer of edibles was brought out and placed be-
side each fire for the supply of the gastronomic
wants of the god. The salvers contained dishes
of nuts, plates of prepared meats, bowls of
cooked rice, apples and several empty cups
One of the attendants poured tea from a pot
into each of the cups, and then lifted each
plate and dish separately giving them all re-
verential swings in the direction of the bonfires.
The food was then taken back into the houses
to complete the feasts already begun. These
rites are gone through with on two nights OF
each month. and are supposed to be extremely
etticaclous in the procuring of luck for the ma
nipulators of cards, dice and fan-tan parapher-
