It is also said that Mr.. Gould is trying
to force the holders of Rock Island
either to sell their stock around its pres
ent price, or to join hands with the
other roads in the alliance. The Bur-
lington and Chicago and Alton will act
with the allied roads in whatever steps
may hereafter be taken. but there are
fears that the Vanderbilts may be angry
at the loss of their traffic contract with
the Union Pacific and may refuse to
Join. If the Vanderbilts and the roads
controlled by J. Pierrepont Morgan can
be brought in, a meeting Of the bankers
and railroad presidents Of all the roads

sociation formed, and then an imme-

LAYING Pines Under Water.

A civil engineer at Watertown has &C
complished in very simple, cheap and
expeditions way what is usually difficult
and expensive operation--the laying of a
long line of pipe in deep water. He had
occasion to lay nearly 1000 feet of suction
pipe at Rouse's point. The water was
needed for manufacturing purposes, and as
it was found that the water near the shore
was more or less impure it was necessary
to place the inlet a considerable distance
out into the lake. He purchased for the
purpose steel pressure pipe of eight inch
diameter. Plugging the end of the first
length he pushed it out on the surface OF
Lake Champlain and connected the second
length, pushing this out in turn until the
whole line was coupled
1t then presented the unusual spectacle
of line of eight inch pressure pipe nearly
1000 feet long floating with a displacement,
of only 81 inches of its diameter. Wher
the requisite length had been connected
the line was towed to position, the plug al
the end removed and the pipe sank easily
in 1655 feet of water without breaking
joint or receiving any injury. No buoys OF
floats were used in the operation and no ap
paratus of any kind. The pipe is now il
use as the suction of a steam pump ant
gives perfect satisfaction.-New York Tele

Chewed soap for Cake.

A few evenings since Mr.. A w. Norris,
who lives on the plantation of Mr.. I. W.
Brown near MonteZuma, was taken sud
denly i'll, to the great alarm of his family.
He continued quite sick, suffering greatly
with nausea until a late hour, when he at
last sank into peaceful slumber which
lasted until morning, and we are glad to
state awoke feeling entirely relieved, ex-
cept that he had singular taste in his
mouth. The next day ne explained to his
wife as follows:
Wife" said he, ''last night after supper
thought would so into the dining room
and steal just one of those ginger cakes
you made yesterday. In the dark made
mistake and attacked most vigorously a
bar of turpentine soap that was lying on

of half grown terrapin, and before l de-
tected my error had filed every hollow
tooth and between my teeth with the tarna-
ton stuff, and had swallowed about a
dimes worth of it! And that's what made
me SO plagued sick" Alick says he's made
about twenty gallons of soapsuds washing
out his mouth, and judging from his taste
he has material enough yet in his mouth
to make twenty gallons more.-Macon

One of the worthiest philanthropies in
London is the Children's Happy Evenings
association; its mission is explained in its
title. The work Of this association has
been rewarded with flattering success, and
now new series of entertainments has
been devised for the delectation of boys
The first of these entertainments was given
at the Stanhope street school, under the
patronage of the countess of Iddesleigh
1t began with a magic lantern exhibition
and the 900 boys present were wild will
delight; then followed music by the Mary
lebone amateur banjo band, and singing
and recitations. When the health of tn,
countess of Iddesleigh was proposed every
little fellow stood up in his chair anc
shouted like Trojan. 1t is estimated tina
these entertainments provide pleasant ant
profitable evenings for 100000 little foil

The eccentric person was John I. Blair,
of New Jersey, whose wealth is estimated
at fabulous amounts. He is rated to be
worth from s40,0OO,0o0 to s100,00O,oO0, yet
he was seated in a porters chair in the Pa
ciiic scrubbing his old hat as if he could
never get another. While Mr. Blair spends
little money on himself heis quite gener-
Gus to others, and many kind deeds of
charity are credited to his worldly account.
He is remarkable man, for though SIS
years old he presents the appearance of one
ut 60, and accomplishes twice as much as
most young men.
His business career was begun SO long
ago that the present generation does not
know him well. He built the greater por-
ton of the Lackawanna road, investing his
own money and keeping every dollar Of his
securities. When Scranton vas wilderness
he bought land in and around the place
and saw it grow from nothing to a city OF
100000 people. Mr.. Blair built and now
owns half the roads in Iowa The town OF
Blairsville, n j., is owned by him. OF
late years he has made an immense amount
of money in the west. He would lay out
the route of new road, mark the town
sites along the line and buy up all the good
land before the public knew of the line OF
the road. When the towns sprung up Mr.
Blair had all the lots for sale.-Chicagc

Confronted by a Memory.

Apropos of the movement to furnish
books to the prisoners in Auburn jail, q
Norwegian lady residing in Auburn told
in her picturesque way an episode which
occurred in Charleston, S. C. Years ago a
mother took her 5-year-old boy into prison
when she went to see his father, committed
for some trifing offence The little fellow
stepped into the adjacent cell, having over
it the number 6S To tease him the warden
shut the door, but quickly opened it at the
little fellows screams. His mother soothed
him, saying: Nobody shaa't ever shut my
little boy in dark cell" Years passed.
The boys father and mother died. His
uncle helped him and gave him money to
get to New York. He fell in with bad
company, squandered his money, and in
sheer desperation attempted to commit
burglary in his Cncles house.
That relative was so enraged he handed
over his nephew to the authorities. Look
ing at the number of his cell, to his horror
he saw $685." and knew that it was the self
same cell that had inspired his boyish ter
ror. Then his mothers words came back,
Nobody shan't ever shut my little boy in
dark cell" and he wept as he had not

mother The warden's wife found him in
/ a melted condition. He told her his story
and she gave him the utmost sympathy
and kindness during his long term, short
ened by his good behavior. As he left the
cell and took last look at those terrible
numbers ''6S" he determined he would

About After Dinner Speaking.

''Stop when you get there" is an ancient
form of schoolboy irony, and it applies ex-
cellently to the occasional orator. When
he has excited laugh, or tribute OF
hearty applause, then he may count him
self happy in being through with his task
He has assuredly "got there"
But if he does not in short measure make
such an impression he will do well to bring
his speech to close with the same inexora
BILE promptitude before his hearers have
time to vote him bore, which they will
most certainly do, secretly, if not openly.
The fortunate orator is he to whom
speech making is such second nature that
he can follow Rousseau's advice for com
posing love letter, and begin without
knowing what he is going to say, end with
out knowing what he has said. Youth:

by night, with rations reduced to one-quar-
ter of their proper quantity, make the very
common punishment of the gargoule ex-
tremely trying. The imprisoning of men
in the tombeaux, or regulation tents, which
are only fifty centimeters broad and sixty
high, is no rarity; and during their incar-
ceration the prisoners receive no water, nor
wine nor coffee. a little meat and some
bouillon is their whole nourishment during
the day.
But those who are punished with cells
are incomparably worse off. They are
never allowed, under any circumstances,
to leave the hole they are kept in either by
day or at night. They have no duties of
work to pass the time and only get some
warm soup every second day, with very
limited quantity of water daily. This pun
ishment is made still more severe by put
ting the man into irons on certain occasions
The delinquent has twoiron rings around
his ankles, which are connected with an
iron bar rather more than q foot in length,
so that his legs form an isosceles triangle
with it. He is forced to lie down on his
face and then his arms are chained on his
back, whereupon ne is put into his tom
beau. He can only eat his soup like dog,
and if he wants to drink he must seize his
bottle with his teeth, and should he let the
bottle fall his ration of water is lost for
that day. Any complaints are at once
stopped by gag.
Only quite recently a punishment was
in use called the crapaudfne. The prison
er's hands and feet were chained together,
and in this posture he was strung up on
to an iron bar. The camisard is also in
USE The soldier is first put into a strait
jacket, his hands are tied on his back and
round his neck an iron collar is fastened
which is attached to an iron bar in the
! wall. The man has to stand in this posi-
ton as long as eight days, unable to lie
down or to do anything for himself

FRENCH ARMY DISCIPLINE.
Brutal Punishment Accorded Soidie
for Bad Behavior.

Brutal Punishment Accorded Soldiers
for Bad Behavior.
The punishments in vogue in the French
army are of very severe nature, more es-
pecially when it is considered that themen
thus punished are not by any means crimi-
mails, but only soldiers who have not be-
haved SO well as they might. These are
deported to Algiers under the name of
''Camisards, where they are enrolled in
the ''campagnies de discipline" Before
embarhing the man has his boots taken
from him, which are replaced by sabots,
and on arriving at his destination he re-
ceives a uniform of gray wool and cap
with large brin. The men are farmed
out to do work, and are all the time under
the supervision of non-commissioned Of
ficers, who treat their interiors with the
greatest brutality. 1t is, however, the
punishments to which the men are sub
jected for the most trifing offenses which
must excite indignation.
A common punishment is to keep them
night and day in hole in the ground with
perpendicular walls, so that escape is i'm
possible. Searching heat hy das. ind cold
