A reporter who saw Rutherford l..
Hayes in Chicago the other day says of
him: @He is aging very rapidly. His
once sandy and always luxuriant beard
is quite snowy, and his form is becoming
a trifle bent, but he dresses in quite a
youthful way, and his manners, always
engaging, are genial and pleasant. Since
the death of Mrs. Hayes the generals
friends say he takes much more active
interest in public affairs and in the world
about him. He travels about more, he
discusses political matters, he takes keen
interest in current and contemporaneous
events, and discusses everything with
quite free tongue

The Fascination ABOUT a Jail.

There must be a fascination about
iife in Jail, for men who have been in
there for little while seem to leave it
with regret, and do not lose their inter-
est in what goes on there for some time
after they are released. Time and again,
SAYS a st. Louis detective, have noticed
men who have been confined for few
months come back every day after their
release and stand at the door looking in
They have no friends in there, unless
they made friends among the other pris-
oners, and they do not speak or wish
to speak with any one. They lean against
the grated door and look in, as if they
wished they were back. really think
some Of them become attached to the
life, and one reason is that unless they
are men of gentle feelings they do not
feel the shame Of their position as long
as they are inside. But when they come
out and meet other men they know they
have the jail stain on them, and they
imagine. every one sees it. have often
watched them standing there by the door,
and wondered just what feeling it was
that drew them back.

IN MEMoRY OF CoLuMBUs
A Description of the Monument 70 II
Erected I'm New YORK City.

Erected I'm New York City.
In the month of February, 1889,
movement was set on foot by IL Pro-
greSso Rulo- Americana to erect ON the
fourth centenary Of the discovery OF
America a monument TO Christopher
Columbus, giving il TO the city of New
lork A subscription was issued and
fund of S5, 900 has been accumulated, to-
getGpr with objecGs of every kind and
description. to be disposed of at fair
which will shortly be held, and by which
the committee hopes greatly toaugment
the fund.
The monument will be constructed in
Italy by the famous sculptor Gaetano
Russo, whose design was selected and
approved by a committee nominated by
the Italian government. This committee
was composed of some of the most emf
nent sculptors, painters, and architects
of the country. II included Cesare Mac
carl, who painted the walls and ceilings
of the senate house; Cesare Mariani, di-
rector Of the San Luca Academy in
Rome; Filippo Prosperi, the prince Of
European engrayers; Giulio Monteverde,
sculptor of the statue, Genius of Frank
lin; Giuseppe Sacconi, sculptor of the
Victor Emanuel monument; Guglielmo
Caldernia, architect; Emilio Gallori,
sculptor and Ettore Ferrari, sculptor of
the Giordano Bruno monument at Rome.
The monument will be 70 feet in
height. The statue of Columbus in the
costume of an admiral will be executed
In Carrara marble. The column will be
made Of granite in the form of the
ancient Roman beaked columns, and
from it will project representations of
the poops and prows of the three vessels
which accompanied Columbus on his
voyage of discovery. The anterior por-
tion of the pedestal will contain group
representing the Genius of Columbus, !"
his hand resting on globe of the world,
which he is earnestly studying, and on
which he is endeavoring to divine the
position of the new continent. On the
posterior portion will be representation
in bronze Of an immense eagle. the coat
of arms of America and of Genoa, the
birthplace of Columbus. The sides Of
the pedestal will be decorated with bas
reliefs representing facts in the life of
the great navigator. The design of this
monument has been judged one of the
most eautiful yet produced, and it will
doubtless be the greatest and most
artistic of its kind existing in New
York

MONTANA, OREGON AND
W. SHINGTON

The Northern Pacific Railroad passing through
Minnesota Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington was the first line to bring the region
occupied by these states into communication with
the east. Its main line and branches penetrate all
sections Of these states, reaching nine-tenths OF
the chief cities Ii is the short line to Helena and
Butte Mont, Spokane Falls Tacoma and Seattle,
Wash, and Portland, Ore, and the only line run
ming through train service from the east through
the states OF Montana and Washington. Pullman
Sleepers and furnished Tourist Sleeping Cars are
run via the Wisconsin Central and Northern
Pacific, and Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars via
Chicago, Milwaukee * St. Paul and and Northern
Pacific, from Chicago through to the Pacific Coast
without change. This is the Dining Car and
Yellowstone Park route.
The large travel on the Northern Pacific line ne
cesstated the Inauguration in June 1890, OF a
second through train to the Pacific Coast, thus
enabling this road TO offer the public the advantage
Of two through trains daily TO Montana and points
in the Pacific Northwest, carrying complete service
of sleeping cars, DINING cars and regular day
coaches. The train leaving ST. Paul in the morn
ing runs via the recently completed Air Line OF
the Northern Pacific through Butte, Mont, max
ing this the shortest line to the latter point by I2o
miles
Colonists for Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia points should take other line than
the Northern Pacific as by this line only, can all
portions OF the state of Washington be seen.
Stopovers are allowed second class tickets
at Spokane Falls and all points west, enabling
settlers to inspect the country without extra
expense

"Oh, mamma, she has said something
that has just broken my heart" the child
declared. sobbing yet more violently.

There came a rap at the door of the

said Sister Robbins
The visitor entered and proved TO be

TO Mrs. Robbins and cuddled close up to

close beside her mistress cheek. After

1t is possible that some of your readers
have heard of, If they have not seen,
Professor Bartholomew, the aeronaut.
He is quite character; gangling, awk-
ward, rural, hut fearless as q lion and as
sharp IN tack, he halls from Burr Oak,
Mich. Bartholomew accompanied the
baseball aggregation on its tour around
the world, and here and there he gave
balloon ascensions that excited even
more curiosity than did the perform
ances of the opponents of our national
game. Bartholomew has the misfor-
tune to be a one eyed man, but the mis-
fortune does not occasion him much re-
morse; it would be hard to find more
cheerful person than he. In Rome he
came up to Mr.. Lynch, the manager of
the excursion party. and said; Leigh,
could you lend me $3OY'
why, suppose So" said Lynch.
"Well, wish you could" said Bar
tholomew. 1T would be a great accom-
mediation. Glass eyes are so darned
cheap here that it seems as il ought to
stock up on themr'
Bartholomew bought $50 worth of
glass eyes and he carried them around
with him in baize bag; there were
about peck of them, and they ratified
like so many marbles. They were not
all the same color, but Bartholomew
didn't mind small matter of that kind.
He was too much of a humorist to
sickle at detail of that character.
He said that when he wore a blue eye
he resembled his fathers side Of the
family; black evey made him took
more like his mothers folk.
One day Bartholomew was riding in
hanson cab in London; the horse acted
badly and the driver dashed the brute
fercely. Whoever has ridden in a han
som cab knows how awkward it is to
have the long lash of the drivers whip
dangling in ones eyes. Several times
Bartholomew ordered the driver TO be
more careful in the use Of his whip.
Reaching his destination, Bartholomew
quietly took out his glass eye, stepped
out of the cab upon the sidewalk, and
holding out the eye in his open hand he
said sternly to the cabman: II warned
you repeatedly, yet see what you have
done! Wait here now, sir, until have
summoned policeman"
To the befuddled cabman there was an
awful reality in all this. He did not
wait for any further parley-oh, no, not
he. Lashing his horse into a gallop he
made off as fast as ever he could. the
worst scared cabby in all the United
Kingdom. BY this quiet ebullition of
humor the pilgrim from Burr Oak evaded
payment of five shilling fare and
achieved deserved fame for having got
the better of London cab driver
