A Miniature Railway in Pekin.

About two years ago they presented
complete miniature railway to the emperor
through Ii Hung Chang, and the line,
which is about three miles long, is laid
down within the imperial city. The young
emperor is very much interested in it's
workings, and spends a great deal of his
spare time in riding to and fro in the beau
tifully appointed little carriages. He was
greatly struck with the toy railway, and
it's influence upon the recent DEGREES has
been very considerable. The old reaction
airy party amongst his advisers were adverse
to the miniature lAe being laid down with
in the precincts of the sacred city, and it
was very near returned to the donors
But the government was afraid lest it
should give ofense to the French, who are
greatly feared and respected since they
burned and sunk the Chinese feet at Foo
chow, and inflicted such disastrous de-
feats upon the Chinese legions in the south.
In the end the present was accepted, but
the high authorities would not allow any
foreigners to have hand in laying down
or working the model railway The result
was when they started the little engine
they could not stop it, and great consterna-
ton was occasioned to the occupants in
the palace by their inability to control the
strange continuance of the foreigners,
which dashed along the line till it was
pulled up by coming in contact with
mound of earth. Since then, however,
Chinese driver has been procured, and the
emperor is frequent traveller upon the
cars.-Shanghai Letter.

She Stared Calmly Ahead.

A young girl, tall, with wide blue eyes,
still innocent of evil, got into Madison
avenue car at Eighty-ffth street Sunday
morning. She carried in her lap prayer
book and in her hand a novel-one of those
paper bound novels with the title standing
out in bold relief. Her expression was SO
demure that the three men in the car
would have sworn she cared more for the
prayer book than the novel. At Eightieth
street a severe looking man and his wife,
both gray haired, took the car. The older
woman looked across at the young girl, at
her novel and prayer book, frowned little
and turned and whispered something to
her husband. He was little deaf, the car
made good deal of noise, so he put his
hand to his ear and said, WHAT" His
wife repeated her remark little louder,
and still he could not hear. Finally she
shouted in thin treble SO that all the car
could hear: 81 think it is a shame to see
a young woman with a Bible and a novel
Her thoughts are all on the novel, and she
would better have left the Bible at home"
Everybody looked at the girl with the
novel, but she stared calmly ahead and pre-
tended to have heard nothing.-New York

The Imagination of God.

DR.. Thompson was walking, in his col
Iege days, with two companions, one Of
whom was Alfred Tennyson; of the name
of the other l am not sure. The path by
which they went was one which all Cam
bridge men knew, namely, that which leads
from the backs of the colleges through the
fields toward Cotton. After passing the
brook, which used to be crossed land per-
haps is now by rude wooden bridge, it
was perceived that Tennyson had Jagged
behind. He had paused by the side of the
brook, brought his eyes as near as he could
to the surface of the water, and was exam
lining with intense interest the subaqueous
life which the little stream contained
After time he rejoined his companions,
and this was his utterance when he Joined
them: "What an Imagination God has!"
The words must have made deep i'm
preston upon my informant's mind, other
wise he would not have retained them in
memory and would not have thought it
worth while to repeat them to me- They
made similar impression upon myself
when SO repeated, and cannot but regard
them as containing true philosophy Of
nature. Whatever may be the power of
natural selection, and whatever causes
may be at work to produce the varied scene
of life which the world contains, you need
some underlying cause, both of life itself
and of reproduction and variation, and of
all natural phenomena, and if casually the
existence of the universe may be attributed
to Gods will and purpose, SO the endless
variety of vital manifestations may be at
tributed to that which in the case of man
we should call imagination.-Nin

The American Abroad,

When he goes abroad for the first time
the American looks after the antique, in
GLIDING the baronial castle in which his
ancestors were born, and which he usually
finds out is only one story high. He visits
the places where from former degradation
arose the principles Of liberty; the cathe-
drals that symbolized in stone the religion
OF the race until it was expressed In bet
ter form-the spirit; he sees the wonderful
canvases of the masters. and returns a
broader, richer, fuller man. The second
time he goes abroad it is generally for the
scenes; but he returns convinced that there
Is no scenery in the world that equals that
Of the United States On his third visit he
wishes to study the institutions of the Old
World, and he finds that there can be no
comparison. Rich in antiquity Europe
may be, but in all that pertains to the pres
ent or the future America is vastly in the
lead.-Orations and After Dinner Speeches

MARK TWAIN EXPLAINS A LECTURE.

A Washington Man Made Date for tho
Humorist Without His knowledge.
When Mark Twain was in Washington
he told a number of interesting incidents
and anecdotes A gentleman we'll known
in political and newspaper circles, on being
introduced to this well known author, said
to him that he had once had the pleasure
of listening to lecture of his which was
delivered in this city twenty years ago.
'sDid your" asked Mark, in that inimit-
able drawl of his. "Well, now, Pll have to
tell you something about that lecture. It
was little the hardest and toughest ex-
perience ever underwent in my whole
career as a lecturer. Icame to Washington
with no intention whatever of delivering a
lecture. simply came, don't you know,
to meet my friends, see the city, and keep
a little track Of what was going on in con-
gress, as do hundreds Of other people in the
course of the winter. This was twenty
years ago, you remember.
"Now, 1 had not been in the city more
than day or two before friend of mine
came to my room at the hotel early one
morning, Weakened me out of sound
sleep, and nearly stunned me by asking if
was aware of the fact that I was to deliv-
er a lecture at Lincoln hall that evening.
told him no and that he must be crazy to
get out Of bed at such an unseemly hour
to ask such a foolish question. But he
soon assured me that he was perfectly sane
by showing me the morning papers, which
all announced that Mark Twain was to
lecture that evening and that his subject
would be The Sandwich Islands, To say
that was surprised would be drawing it
mildly. I was mad, for I thought some
one had put up game on me.
"Well, on careful inquiry, learned that
an old theatrical friend Of mine thought he
would do me favor So he made all the
necessary arrangements for me to lecture,
with the exception of the slight circum-
stance that he neglected to inform me Of
any of his intentions. He rented Lincoln
hall, billed the town and sent the newspa-
pers advertisements and notices about the
coming lecture. And the worst of it was
that he had done all his work thoroughly.
After learning this I was in dilemma.
had never prepared any lecture on the
Sandwich islands What was 1 to do?
could not back out by telling the people
that was unprepared. No, that was out
of the question, because the public wouldn't
believe it. The billing of the town had
been too well done for that. So there was
only one thing left for me to do, and that
was to lock myself in my room and write
that lecture between the breakfast hour
and 7:3O that evening. Well, did it, and
was on hand at the advertised hour, facing
one of the biggest audiences I ever adj
dressed.
II did not use my manuscript, but in those
early days always had my lecture in writ

PHANTOM ARMIES.

The heavens weep, the nations dead
Sleep silent meath the springy sod;
But in our hearts their cadenced tread
Sounds marching on to God
The buglos, fife and rolling drum
Are idle as the sleepers' hands;
But on the spirits stage and dumb
A mighty army stands
Again the hand that swayed the sword,
Clutch firm its handle as of yore,
And dear dead eyes so long adored
Take light and life once more.
Flash lightning In the battles brunt,
Mirror the rays from Heaven that fell,
And pressing boldly to the front
Court Death from shot and shell.
The valorous eyes from Death set free
Again seem vict'ry to proclaim,
Then sinking down, grim Death, to thee,
Go silent as they came
A mighty army-in the brain
Of each who knew and loved them here;
Unchanged by Time and free from strain
The legions grand appear.
Deathless, for Deaths relentless laws
The memory never can attain,
And those who died in honor's cause
Shall live their lives again.
In many mind, in many cline,
By grandsire unto grandson told,
Their deeds shall tread the halls of time
In sandal-shorn of gold.

The Hart county alliance has censured
Hon. H. H. Carlton for his position on the
sub-treasury bill.
The wheat crop over Oglethorpe county
is reported an entire failure, being almost
eaten up by the rust already.
The directors of the alliance store at
Thomaston, at their regular meeting last
Friday decided to establish canning fac
tory at that place.
The Savannah, Americas and Montgom-
cry railroad will build a warehouse at
Helena and present it to the alliance of Tel
fair, Montgomery and Laurens counties
Ossie Taylor of Hart county has thrifty
lemon bush eighteen inches high. 1t grew
from seed that he planted. and he has
taken good care of it, keeping it in a hot
house during the winter. He hopes that it
will bear fruit.
Lexington Echo: Sunday evening last
quite severe hail and wind storm passed
over portion of the Goosepond section of
this county doing. considerable damage to
growing crops. In places the hail almost
entirely destroyed fields Of corr and beat
down cotton to such an extent as to leave
hardly stand. The strip of country it
passed over was rot very wide.
Americas Herald, DR.. G. Poole veter-
mary surgeon of this city, was called out
y
mons grading camp, about two miles from
the city on the western line of the Savan-
nah, Americas and Montgomery road, to
diagnose some diseased mules. He reports
that he found one mule that was brought in
from Macon about a week ago suffering
in the advanced stages of button farcy, a
contagious and fatal disease if not treated
skillfully in time. There were three or four
other mules that had pink eye, but this dis
ease yields readily to treatment and does
not cause much alarm. DR.. Poole reports
thatat another camp of the same company
near Magnolia Springs he is treating about
dozen ''stove-up" mules.
The Fulton County Farmers Alliance met
Friday, and ia the course of its proceedings
the national alliance. 1t will be remom-
bered that DR.. McCune, in his talk to the
congressional committee having the matter
under investigation, recommended the
passage of the Conger lard bill, which, it is
we'll known, is fight between the
western hog raiser and the southern
farmer The alliance all over the south
protested against the passage of such
measure, but DIR. McCune spoke
in its favor. DIR. McCune's secret circular
at the alliance against the Atlanta Journal
and other papers was laid an the table and
was heartily condemned as an attempt to
stab in the dark when the man who sent the
secret circular had the National Orqan and
Southern Alliance Farmer in which to at
tack the course of the newspapers that did
not favor the alliance bosses schemes. Thew
said they would not allow their friends to
be killed by man whose course they did
not approve.
