eighteen states and territories were
visited and traversed. The contrasts
offered by it to the solitude of 1865
were almost amazing. West of the
meridian named there are now at
least %, 0C0 miles of railroad, and of
telegraph wires not less than $780,

light cables, in proportion to population,
there are more miles in use than else
where within the United States. There
is today more property owned per capita
than anywhere else on the continent.
Two-fifths of the national domain is
found west of the line given, and GER
tainly three-ffths of the remaining public
lands of the United States must be
sought for in the same region; and that,
too. without considering Alaska. Yet

New YORK, July 24.-Mrs. Annie
Mandoza has been unfortunate since her
extraordinary marriage in Brooklyn a
couple ofyears ago. She was g~ray-haired
widow with several thousand dollars in
the bank when she hired a marriage
broker to get her a second husband.
Barber Mandoza, a good looking young
fellow. offered to marry the widow for
81 600 and she accepted his terms and
gave him an additional present Of $500,
and also paid the expenses Of their we'd
ding trip. Soon after their return to
Brooklyn the young husband ran of. and
when Mrs. Mandoza had failed to induce
him to return by an offer of another
81, 900 she had him arrested for abandon
ment. She lost the case, and has not
seen her expensive husband since. She
subsequently, accused Mrs. Julia Gluck. a
neighbor. ofhaying barbored her runaway
husband. and Mrs. Chuck sued her for
SANDER and secured q verdict OF 81, 900.
Mrs. Mandoza refused to pay either the
this money or the costs. and to-day she
was sent to Jail in default of a fine of
$3.50 for contempt of court 1t is sup
posed that she has still SO, 000l left, but
where it is tucked away neither her own

LONDON, July 24.-The following par
~ticulars of the destruction by fire Of the
National Line steamer, Egypt. have been
received: The Manhatten sighted the

and twenty eight minutes north; longi-
tude t~hirty-eight degrees west, but being
laden with oil dared not 20 near the burn
ing vessel. She lowered boats, however,
and saved all on board. Captain Robin
son OF the Manhattan had only enough
provisions for forty persons and a discus
sion was nad as tc -Se:her Oh not make
Azore, $50 miles distant. Finally it was
decided to proceed for Dover. Every one
was placed on short ~rations. There were
GAO cattle on board the Egypt. All were
either burned to death. or breaking loose
aud ~plunging overheard, were drowned.
For a time there was much confusion on
the Egypt, but no panic occurred. The
National COMPANY sent a tug from Dover
to meet the Manhattan and supply her
with provisions. She started at 6 o'clock
this evening with a full supply Of pro-
visions and other necessaries for the res
cued people.

The forthcoming imperial wedding has
restored a little life to the Austrian
court, which has been miserably dull
since Prince Rudolph's tragic death. Al
though the marriage of the A~rchduchess
Valerie with the Archduke Franz Saliva
tor on July 81 is to be solemnized pri-
vately at Ischl on o of the en-
press delicate health, the event will be
kept throughout the empire with con
siderable festivity. Many towns are
founding charitable institutions in the
young princess honor, as she prefers
such useful membranes to costly gifts
of jewelry. On the 10th the bride elect
renowned all her rights to the crown,
according to the rule for Austrian arch
duchesses about to be married. Part of
her trousseau and many wedding pres
ents have been exhibited at Che Vienna
hofburg, and the dresses will be shown
during the next few weeks. All the
clothes are of Austrian manufacture,
and very simple, though exquisitely
made. The princess and her fance have
now accompanied the empress on a pill
grimage to the famous shrine of Maria
eel, to fulfil n promise made to the en-
press dying sister, the princess of Thurn
and Taxis.-London Illustrated News.

The druggists who sells soda water for
five cents claim that there is no great
profit init because ice is so dear, and peo-
pie are demanding everything but a
square meal. They make about three
cents a glass on the plain soda with the
old fashioned syrups. The first soda
fountain ever put up only had four
syrups-lemon, vanilla, sarsaparilla and
coffee-and they are the most popular
yet, especially vanilla. Seventy-ive per
cent. of the people call for vanilla. Five
cent soda men who furnish ice cream in
the glass make mighty little profit, as it
does not take many glasses to use up a
gallon. Then the cream bill is larger
than you would think. Still the sales
are SO great that we are glad as it is.
The ten cent fountains make at least
eight cents a S; New York World.

ARMY TROUBLES.
Discomfort in the Department
of the Platte.
An Iowa Minister Creates a
Sensation.
Loss of Three Lives by an
Explosion.
Trouble in Army Circles.

OMAHA, Neb., July 24.-For a long
time there has been considerable discon-
tent and friction throughout the military
department of the Platte, evidently
brought about by the management
from headquarters, which is not as
smooth as it might be, and which ought
not to spring from the quality expected
to be found In an army officer. There is
no doubt sound reason for more or less
dissatisfaction. but just what induces it
no one seems willing to say. The last
unpleasant feature strikes higher than
usual and is likely to give more trouble
than perhaps anticipated, and results 10
considerable gossip. It. seems that the
commander invited some information
from Gen. Kautz, relating to his post.
The information was given and returned
TO Gen. Kautz with an endorsement to
the effect that he had made statements
not in accordance with the facts, where
upon the latter asked for a redress OF the
grievance, and by reply was placed in ar
rest, thus shutting off the avenune for fur
ther application for correction. 1t Is said
that Gen. Kautz had filed charges against
Gen. Brooke for conduct u~nbecoming an
officer AID . gentleman, and which had
been forwarded to the war department
This will no doubt induce charges against
Gen. Kautz. if it has not already done
so, and it is very probable that one of the
largest military courts known to the army
will be the outcome. Though one of the
officers mentioned will be released from
duty in the department, it Is clear Gen.
Brooke has been made the instrument by
which the most prominent candidate
(Gen. A. G.. Kautz) for the next vacancy
of brigadier general may be placed out Of
the way of a few very ambitious men.
Gen. Kautz was one of the most gallant
soldiers of the war, and this attempt to
injure his chance for well merited and
long deferred promotion is severely com.
meuted on by military men here and
elsewhere.

Among a great number of c~ypripedium
insigne received at st. Adams and les
tabhshed" Mr.. Sander noted one pres
emily of which the flower stalk was
yellow instead of brown, as is usual.
Sharp eyes are a valuable item Of the
orchid growers stock in trade, for the
smallest popularity among such ''sport-
i've" objects should not be neglected.
Carefully he put the yellow stalk aside
tho only one among thousands, one
might say myriads, since cypripedium
insigne is N of our Oldest and com
monest orchids, and it never showed this
phenomenon before. In due course the
fioweropened andproved to be all golden.
Mr.. Sander cut his plant in two, sold half
for $50 to a favored customer and the
other half publicly for 100 guineas.-

Many interesting memories cluster
about the buildings known as the Hy-
gienic hotel, at 10 and Is Laight street,
New York city, now doomed to be torn
down to give place to an immense wooden
warehouse. The buildings were origi-
nally erected for residences for the fami-
lies of George Schuyler and a son of
Alexander Hamilton and Col. Thorne,
in what was then the fashionable quar-
ter OF the city about seventy years ago,
in the vicinity of st. Johns park. The
carriage houses of the high toned old
families stood until recently on the back
of the property. The queer old stone
trimmings of the windows and doorways,
and its mahogany folding doors, its elab-
crate white marble jambs and the gen
erously large rooms, were reminders of
the time when and was much less val
liable than it is now, when flats were
unknown and the hum Of business had
not reached as far up town as Canal
street.-New York Sun.

Boiling Water Not n Guarantee of Purity.
It is the custom to believe hat the
most impure water will be rendered
pure by boiling, and that an absolute
Safeguard against the danger of water
containing disease germs is thus at
forded- While it is true that boiling
will kill the germs of disease, yet the
fact has been pointed out by the very
highest authority that while boiling
kills the germs of a particular disease,
it yet, in reality, renders the water
more impure than it was before, be-
cause by the very death of these
germs dead organic matter is allowed
to remain in the water, which is short
ly polluted by p~utrefaction. Hence.
while boiling is a most excellent pre-
caution against the occurrence of
typhoid fever or similar diseases, it
must be borne in mind that the water
is not necessarily purified, but that
simply the power to produce n specific
disease is removed.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

DENVER, July 24.-The washout on
the Colorado Central is the most disas-
trous that has occurred since the road
was built. The loss is Appropriated at
$3.50, 900. The amount of TRACK washed
out covers altogether a distance Of twenty
miles-6ve miles from the forks OF the
creek to Smith hill and fifteen miles from
Golden to Floyd Hill. The iron bridge
at the forks of the creek looks like a
bundle of wire. it has been SO tangled up.
1t is impossible for railroad men to esu-
mate the damage done to the road, but
they admit it must be very, large, as the
road up through there is a very costly
piece Of railroad construction. Two work
trains and 100 men have been working on
the road-since Tuesday noon.

There is great excitement among the
Kickapoos over the discovery of n petri-
fed body supposed to be hat of War
Eagle, a leading chief of the tribe who
died many years ago, shortly after the
tribes return from Old Mexico. Instead
Of the remains being deposited in the
ground in a coffin they were placed in
IN upright position in a large hollow
tree, there TO await the coming of the
happy hunting days, as the Indians be-
heve. During the rag of a fierce forest
fire the trunk of the tree was consumed
by the flames. A party of Indians who
were passing through the woods stopped
to light their pipes, when the image of
an Indian warrior, with tomahawk in
hand, was discovered underneath the
ashes of the burning tree.
The scene which followed is described
as being most remarkable. The Indians
were scared so badly that they lost all
self control and a regular panic ensued,
the Indians rushing madly through the
woods and yelling at the top of their
voices. AS soon as word could be com
municated to the remaining members of
the tribe, some 200 in number, a hurried
consultation wa held, at which it was
SNitb tAhb Nho Soc NdblOh suOulu DC
Immediately abandoned.
Lucidly some of the more civilized
members of the tribe had influence
enough to allay the feeling of fear, and
the plan of desertion was not carried
out. The place of fright was visited
later in the day, when sure enough the
petrified body of War Eagle was OK
humed and placed upon exhibition.
The p~etriication was perfect. The
war costume wa as natural as life, there
being n perfect imprint on the stone of
both gun and tomahawk, which were
buried alongside the body. The peculiar
formation of stone presents an imposing
appearance, and, but for the occasional
creases caused by insects, would be clear
of any imperfections.
A large. hollow oak was selected, the
top sawed off about fourteen feet from
the ground, and the petrifed body
placed upright therein, to remain for
ever. A two inch pine slab bearing the
following inscription marks the petrifed
remains of this tribes greatest warrior:
War Eagle, great fighter, turned into
rock. Indians afraid Great Spirit. Let
him sleep On his beauty forever. Cor.

CHARLES CRY. Iowa, July 24-The
Rev. J.W. Jones sensation is on the lips
of every one. He has made a clean
confession and has again joined the
church ON probation. The particulars of
the scandal are as follows: Jones, a

months when he became intimate with
Mrs. Frank B. Southworth and iell.
The matter wa partially hushed up and
he left the tow and went to Philadelphia
where for a time he occupied one of the
most prominent pulpits in the city. He
was an eloquent young divine and at
tracted large crowds. When a vacancy
occurred in the Methodist Episcopal
datlon of Bishop Foss, who was I'M
acquainted with Jones career at Lafayette,

mouths occupied the pulpit with rare
ability. At the Upper Iowa Conference
