10 the peace of his artistic soul.
"I was thinking" said he, what a
charming city Washington will some DAY
be-"
'Is it not charming city now?" I asked,
q little piqued.
"But it will be more charming by and
by"
"What will make it so, Mr.. Nast?"
"a little more street ornamentation.
notice good beginning in the pretty vases
of flowers that ornament many of the
street doorsteps, but they only make more
conspicuous the lack OF other street orna-
mentation."
''What ornamentation?"
"In Paris it is against the law to throw
bits of paper and other litter into the streets.
Here the law is not so stringent, or at least
it is not so strictly enforced. The people,
therefore, should set out not only vases OF
flowers but waste-baskets (they nigh orna-
ment them with pretty ribbons, you know,
and then, here and there, at convenient in
teryals, they might place-oh, good many
useful ornaments, hand painted porcelain,
or peaeh-blow, or Worcester, or even the
plain brownstone kind-almost any sort
would do.
"Then, think" continued Mr. Mast while
his aesthetic Imagination pictured the scene

Popof,s voice sounded so threatening that
Schelm turned round. There he stood, aim

FRENCH AND AMERICAN WOMEN.
Their Wonderful Adaptability and the Effect
In MesaIliunces.

In Mesnlliances.
"I have often been struck" says Max
O'Rell, with the resemblance that exists
between French and American women. 1t is
the same subtlety, the same suppleness of
mind, the same wonderful adaptability.
Place little French milliner in a good
drawing room for an hour and at the end OF
that time she will behave, talk and walk
like any lady in the room. Suppose an
American, married to a woman much below
his status in society, is elected President of
the United States; believe at the end OF
week this wife of his would do the honors of
the White House with the ease and grace of
a high-born lady.
ssIn England 1t is just the contrary. OF
course, good society is good society every
where. The ladies OF the English arsto-
cracy are perfect queens, but the English
woman who was not born a lady will seldom
become lady, and l believe this is why
mesalliaLces are more scarce in England
than in America, and especially in France.
1 could name many Englishmen, standing
at the head of their professions, who cannot
produce their wives in society because these
women have not been able to raise themselves
mn to the level of their husbands station in
lite. In France the mesalliance, though not
relished by parents, is not feared so much,
because they know the young woman will
observe and study and very soon fit herself
for her new position.

came from lamp standing on table and
the sound OF several voices, conversing,
struck Popoff's ear. He hesitated, but sud
denly he heard behind him Schelm's voice
crying out:
''That man is the devil himself, he has
discovered the secret passage
For nothing in the world would Popoh
fall again into the power Of his enemy. He
gathered his whole strength and burst open
the door. There was great noise, desk
was evidently moved in great haste and
Popoff found himself in large, gorgeously
furnished and brilliantly lighted apart
ment.
An elderly man in the uniform of Gen.
eral, the Colonel of the gendarmes and sew
eral officials looked at him amazed and at
the same time curious.
'"The Minister exclaimed Popof; ''I am
lost"
"Who is that man? How did he get in
here? How does he know the secret pas
sage?" asked Count Perowski.
Palkin observed the newcomer attentively.
"Ho, hop he exclaimed. ST have seen
that man at Count Lanin's He must be
one of the conspirators. Are they to be
found even in the Ministry of the Interior2
I recognize the manp'
He approached him, put his hand on his
shoulder, and said:
81 arrest you"
"The Colonel of the gendarmes, Palkin,"
reflected Popof "He is Scbelm's bitterest
enemy. Now, shall at least avenge the
Count and get me a splendid generalship.
Yes, Colonel" he said aloud. 81 am your
prisoner
Behind the furniture that had been upset
by PopofPs violent entry Schelm's fright
ened face now appeared.
Hold him fast. Arrest him. He is q
dangerous man, q former clerk of mine. He
has stolen secret papers from the Ministry;
he must be searched and the papers taken
from him."

But had started out to show the art fea-
lures of Washington to Mr.. Mast, so drew
him away down Pennsylvania avenue and
pointed with just pride to the statue of Ben
jamin Franklin which surmounts a bio
graphic pedestal at the Intersection of Tenth
and D streets and the avenue.
Mr.. Mast stood before it-no, behind it
in rapt admiration OF this marvellous work
of art A profane and irreverent young man
passed and fiippantly said: "Old Ben looks
as ii he had been out with the boys last
night" But Mr.. Mast heard nothing of
this. His mind was not open to such
worldly words. His sensitive soul was
stirred and he stood upon the heights with
the grand old philosopher who had lived
long enough among men and had dealings
enough with them to convince him that hon
esty is the best policy.

THE PRINCE OF WALES INCOME.
Nearly 100000 for His Use From the
nuchx of Cornwall Last Year.

Nearly 100000 for His Use From the
Duchy of Cornwall Last Year.
Wexford Independent
The balance sheet of the Duchy of Corn
wall show payments made last year for the
use of the Prince of Wales amounting to
e63, ,593 IS 4d. In addition to rents and
profits accruing in Cornwall, there goes
into the balance sheet sum OF oyer 81 200,
the produce of royalties of coal mines in
the county of Somerset.
There are two generally unsuspected
sources Of revenue for his Royal Highness
which appear in this account. One is profits
arising out of the Office of Havenor, which
reached the sum OF e12 Is 10d. The office
of Havenor, it is explained, deals with the
proceeds of the sale of unclaimed wrecks.
ANY wreck found on the coast of Cornwall
and not claimed becomes the property of his
Royal Highness the Duke. Another source
of profit is the seizure of the personal estate
of any person domiciled in Cornwall and
dying intestate without kin. Last year the
Prince of Wales did not benefit copper
from this source

A LBANY, Sept. 5, 1890. The second sec
tion OF train No. ID of the New York
Central road, consisting of eight sleeperxs
was wrecked about four miles above
Greenpoint at half-past eleven last night
by distractions placed on the track OF
the railroad by some unknown miscre-
ants. The obstruction which wrecked
the train consisted of q mass of
flsh plates and ties which had been tied
together and fastened to the tracks soon
after the first section of the train passed.
The interval between the sections was
twenty-five minutes.
Charles White, the engineer. saw the
obstruction, but too late to materially de-
crease the speed of the train, and the en-
glne crashed into the pile Three Of the
Immense sleeping coaches broke away
with the force of the shock and toppfed
down the bank, while the rest Of the
coaches left the track. These i've coaches
turning fell bottom upward in a ravine
at the east side of track.
The shock of the collision awoke tlna
sleeping passengers and their terror was
lndescribaDle. The train men soon broke
through the windows and commenced
the work of relieving the passengers,
none OF whom were killed The sole oc-
CupantS Oh the nrst car were
conductor McAuliffe, Trainman Sam
paugh, a colored porter and a young LADY
passenger The Young lady, whose name
could not be learned, was the only one in
Jured. Her back was wrenched and she
suffered severe shock.
Miss Atkinson, of fremont, was severe
ly bruised; Miss Gasakan. of Brooklyn,
received a serious cut on the side Of the
head. These are the only ones seriously
injured, though half dozen others were
slightly bruised.
The train contained about sixty passen-
gers, half OF whom were women The
injured passengers were brought to this
city at quarter past four this morning.
The loss to the company is estimated in
the thousands. The company intend to
discover the wretches who caused the
wreck, If money and skill can do it. At
noon it was learned that the company
intended TO offer a reward of s.. 600 for the
discovery of the train Wreckers

PROHIBITIONS TICKET.
Candidates for Congressman. Sheriff
and Coroner Named in Hudson.

Fifty-one men with stern visages met
at No. 522 Newark avenue last night and
took the first step towards putting Pro-
hibition ticket in the field at the coming
election. A pitcher of ice water stood on
a table in the centre of the room and
was soon emptied and was filed again by
white aproned waiter.
There was none of the excitement and
rushing which is characteristic of the
conventions of the two great parties,
and there was no split in the nomina-
tions. Joel w. Brown was elected chair
m an of the meeting and James Graham,
secretary. A motion was made that the
chair appoint a comm lite on nominations,
which was done. One delegate then aros g
and said he thought it would be we'll to
learn whether by the new ballot ref orm
law they had a right to make nomina-
tions without having 200 signatures to
petition.
Mr.. Winan, the State organizer, a
young man with blond mustache, ex-
planned the new law. He said that the
proper course to pursue was to make
nominations and then have two hundred
voters sign a petition and acknowledge
before notary public that they desired
the nominees to be placed in tn Q field.
L
secured, five of the signers are to make
affidavits to the effect that to the best of
their knowledge and belief the signatures
are genuine. When this was done the
petition was to be filed with The County
Clerk aud the party would be entitled to
official ballots. Mr.. Winans said that the
party would have official ballots in all of
the other counties, but he was afraid of
Hudson county, although the attendance
last night was good start. He said that
they did not expect to have any official
ballots in the Assembly districts, but
would recommend that pastors with the
Assembly candidates printed on them be
used. After Mr.. Winans had told the
delegates of the progress of Prohibition
in the State and denied that the new law
would drive them to the wall, the Nom
mating Committee made its report.
The following is the ticket
For Congress-JOE w. BROWN.
For Sheriff-JAMES S. CARMAN.
For Coroner-KELLY HESTER, of
Hoboken.
Mr.. Brown thanked the convention and
said that he was used to nominations.
The candidate for sheriff said:-"If / am
elected [laughterl there will be no liquor
dealers on the Grand jury" TApplause.] I
A notary public was present, and over
fifty signatures were acknowledged last
night. The petition will be taken from
house to house until the requisite 200
names are secured.

dent. yesterday surrendered in open court
three of the indicted election rascals for
whom he was bondsman. They were
Nathauiei Fowler, Thomas Jordan slass.
Constable William Reen.
The reason given by Mr.. Tumi1ty for
this action is that he wants to sell piece
of property, and while the recognizances
for these men are held against him he
cannot give a clear titIe The three
men had Assemblyman and Street Con-
tractor Byrne with them, and Byrne
was accepted by Judge Lippincott as a
bondsman. There are some people who
laugh when Tumilty declares it was the
sale of a small piece of property that in
duced him to surrender the three men.
for Tumilty is rich man and is well
known to be extremely cautious.
