ssHoots, It's weary day for auld Scot
land whan there's nae body L fend hoose
like this frae tina low English beggarsl"
and then, in radiant expectancy of low
English sssaxpences,r bade me enter.
There is but one room below stairs. In
the upper story there is q room the same
size as that on the first floor. This Is re
tanned as a sort of show room, and it well
enough filed to be interesting with Car
lyle relics, including his famous coffee pot
in which he was wont to brew his own
coffee and his equally famous tobacco cut
ter-handmaids of the Cheyne Row, Chel-
sea, inspiration, and inseparable compan-
ions of his irascibility and dyspepsia. OFF
this little chamber and sitting room, in
which is set quaint old fire place, is
little, long, low bed room over the arch
way; and in this Thomas Carlyle was
born Altogether the place is uninviting,
meager, hard, austere. The father who
built it was godly, stubborn, irascible;
fiinty as the Scotch granite in which he
wrought as a stone mason, truly, 4ill TO
thole,n as the bent backed old guidwife,
who knew him, SO aptly described the
family Disassociating the man Thomas
Carlyle from the heroism of his lofty
work, You cannot come to one spot made
warm, tender and glowing for his having
been part of it; and the dreary old kirk
where he was born, intensifies the feeling
that something of the human and humane
| was lacking, or was denied, his whole line.
| There does not seem TO be one soul in all
| the region where he was born and reared
who recalls the family name with loving
kindness and respect. To be known as a
pilgrim TO the Carlyle home and tomb Is
| to be regarded with suspicion and sneers.
The very grave stone is parsimonious and
shabby; the enclosure unkeinpt, weeds
and brambles crowd the spot closely; the
lad that unlocks the gate snickers behind
You; and as stood for little time lean
ing upon the iron railing in contemplation
of the lonely, neglected grave of this rare
old warrior in the field of letters, wonder
ing, after all, if any true greatness can
ever exist SO far above the heads and
hearts of the lowly that they are not
reached, aided and encompassed by it; a
bevy of rosy checked, roguish eyed Scotch
lassies passed; and regarding me with hila-
rious scorn for overlooking the merits of
Ecclefechan itself for dismal lettering
| where the hearts of none here turned, one
| fair maiden applied to a certain disciple of
Carlyle such sturdy words of badinage as
might well bewilder the bravest pilgrim
to shrines in foreign lands.
AT DccLEFDcHAx.
Musing lone one summer morning
| In an ancient Scottish kirk-yard
BY the grave of rare old Carlyle.
-Reverent bowed and deep in dreaming
Suddenly there passed maiden.
Passed, but paused, Then. smiling, quoth she:
There's no yon but stanes an brOmbles:
Muckle mair1s in Ecclefechanr'
Then the roguish maiden vanished
From the place Of stones and brambles.
And left the dank old kirk yard
With the lesson of her scorning=
Keep thy soul from out the shadows
Turn thy life from graves to giadnessa
This though but a hint in living.
This learned at Ecclefechan.

THE STRIKE.

Although it is impossible to tell what
the labor leaders who are to meet to-day
will do, we venture the prediction that
there will be no great strike, and that the
Knights of Labor will practically be left
to fight their own battle. 1t does not
look to us as if the other organizations
will think it best to help support a failing
cause. The fact is, the Knights are al
ready defeated in their effort to stop the
operations of the New York Central The
leaders of the other organizations know
this. They also know that the railroad
managers are rs willing to fight now as at
any time. They, the managers, are occu-
pying thoroughly tenable position, and
they have the hearty support of the stock
holders. The stockholders strongly prefer
to have the present managers retain con-
troll of the business of the road, and they
are ready to get along without their divi-
dends, if need be, while the matter is being
fought to a finish. Considering all the
circumstances it would be the height of
unwisdom for all the labor organizations
to try to make the foolish and inopportune
strike of the Knights success. They
would inevitably fail, as they would
deserve to. Few strikes have had less
foundation, and few have had less public
support than the present one, and if there
must be general contest, while it will not
be welcomed it will not be avoided.
The situation, so far as Powderly and
his board are concerned, is foolish one.
The New York Central is attending to its
business. If Powderly is doing anything
he is attempting to punish the road fol
not allowing the big Knights of Labor te
have hand in the employing and dis
charging of men, and he is attempting tc
establish the principle, as he would call it,
that Knights are not to be discharged
without investigation, arbitration, etc
Such principle will never be established
or if it is it will not stay established. NJ
large business can be run under the man
agement of an executive board" of out
| siders, Mr., Powderly has taken stel
| which will result in the downfall of hin
and his Knights. And the general verdic
will be that he and they deserve the fat
| that awaits them.

who constitute a law unto themselves, read

Third-class passengers on the English
railroads are rapidly increasing in num-
Der. The record for the last year shows
that the Great Western system owes its
entire increase of traffic to third-class pas
sengers, who may be said to include, for
the most part, the working class. The
number of first and second-class passen-
gers on this system, ON the other hand,
has fallen off. The same is true of the
London and Southwestern company, while
on the Metropolitan district system, which
has issued over 1S,0OO,O0O tickets in the
half year, the percentage of frst-class pas
sengers is less than II; of second-class
passengers 90, while the third-class pas
sengers number not much less than doubl e
first and second put together, or over 60
per cent.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Money was easier in Wall street yester-
day If it hadn't been there would have
been a great many very uneasy people
there,
The municipal authorities in London
have issued an order limiting the height of
buildings in the British metropolis. 1t
might be well to put some restriction on
New York builders before they reach the
sky.
There are some partisans who would
never run any risk of being accused of
mugwumpery. David Marshall of Lapeer,
Michigan, having been a Democrat for
eighty -four years, has filed request that
his collection of Democratic tickets be
placed in his coffin and buried with him.
John Burns, the leader of the London
dock strike, was quoted the other day as
saying that the good results of strike,
when there were good results, did not
compensate for the loss of the strikers.
He seems to have based this opinion on his
own case, as he was forced to go back to
work after months of idleness because the
workingmen whom he professed to lead
cut off his supplies.
There are. mines that make more dlvi
dends than assessments. Within the las
twenty years the stockholders of the Calu

$50, 900 in cash dividends, and, according
to the report submitted by Presiden
Agassiz, at the annual meeting OF the com

THE coLoRs.
Mrs. Constance Hartshorne of Brad
bourne Hall, England, has invented new
game for out-of- door diversion called
''The Colors." A game of introduction
was played one afternoon last June in the
gardens of the Inner Temple, London, by
number of expert players before COM
pany of invited guests, and the game,
which derives something from croquet,
something from that old-fashioned game
''the graces," and more from the ingenuity
of the inventor, was, received at once into
favor.
1t is played upon court sixty feet long
by thirty six wide, upon which four sets of
posts, painted red, white, blue and green,
are planted, there being five posts in each
set. Each of the four or eight players is
provided with eight rings, two of each col
or, which must be placed upon the posts
/ according to a certain sequence, depending
upon the arrangement of colors.
There is no hurry, no running, jumping
or throwing abont the game; there is a
certain amount of science about it, and it
admits of variation. 1t is said to be
prettier and more interesting than croquet
and less active than tennis being to the
latter, one would judge, as a minuet or
pavane is to a tarantella. 1t will doubtless
find many admirers in this country among
those who do not care for either of these
games, and if it calls them out into free
air and sunshine so much the better.
1t is little strange that ring-toss or
magic hoops is not played out of doors
more, it being as pretty a game for the
lawn as for winter indoor exercise. Any
even number of players may take part in
the game, a certain number of points de-
cided upon and the score kept, the side
first gaining the required number to be de-
clared winners.
COOL WATER.
Aninexpensivew water cooler has been made
after some experimenting by New York
gentleman who is familiar with tropical
methods of cooling drinking water. The
principle is that of rapid evaporation. A
large unglazed flower pot, with the drain
age hole tightly plugged contains the water.
1t is covered with an ordinary tea plate
and set on a larger plate on three little
blocks. This refrigerating apparatus is
placed upon a window sill where the sun
does not strike it and where the air has
free course around and over and under it.
He has had sweet and cool drinking water
without ice ever since, the difference be-
tween the temperature of the room and the
temperature of the water being thirty de-
grees. The apparatus can hardly be pat.
ented and is at the service of the public.
