A Young Farmer Amuses a Train
Load of People.
New York Sun.
There were dozen Of US in street
car III New Haven one day, when a
very pronounced type of young Con
necticut Yankee entered. Attention
was attracted to him at once. for there
was much in his appearance and make
up to suggest there's only a
few of us left" He read all
of the advertising cards carefully,
and then the dial which registers
the number of passengers caught his
eye. He left his seat, walked to the
end of the Car and examined the dial
critically, whistling softly to himself all
the time.
Whatever opinion he may have en-
tertained of the device he kept it to
himself, for he resumed his seat with
out word, but still kept on whistling
softly.
Presently he stopped whistling, drew
an envelope from his pocket, and, TAX
ing out some photographs, handed one
of them to an old gentleman next to
him with the remark:
Don't you think that's pretty peart
gal?"
The old gentleman glanced at the
photograph, which was that of a rather
comely country girl, and handed it back,
remarking as he did:
"A very attractive face"
"Well, should say sop exclaimed
the young man. "Never saw anything
like it,"
He ran over half dozen of the photo
graphs in his hand, which he had evil
IDENTIFY just received from photograph
gallery, remarking:
''Well, if Priscilla isn't a turtle-dove
they don't raise them in this country"
He handed one of the pictures to the
man on the other side of him and
asked:
"What would you say if l told you
was goin' to marry that gal next week" T"
pretty girl. | should congratulate
you," replied the man, as he examined
the picture.
s'That's what!" exclaimed the youth,
heartily. "She's the best gal in our
county, and Pve had the pick an
choice of all of 'em. There isn't one of
'em that wouldn't marry me quicker
ner wink. but this is my choice of the
whole bal. of wax"
Uulnk you VIII U6 uoIIlS 6Nll6ll6ly
WE'LL" replied the man kindly, as he
handed back the picture.
"Pass her along" said the young
man, as he handed the picture across
the car. "Pass her along, and let me
hear your opinion. l think, gents,
there's picture that's good for sore
eyes,"
AS the picture was passed along from
one to another the free expression of
opinion which he had solicited was very
generally given. 1t was evident the
young man was enjoying the dream of
youth head over heels IN love, and no
one cared to disturb his extreme felicity.
The picture drew forth only the warm
est compliments.
THAT'S right, gents" remarked the
young man enthusiastically, as the
picture came back to him; "thats
right, every gosh darned word of it.
You can't say nothin' too good about
that gal, an, what's more. she'll ride
on these ky'rs next week as my wife,
b'gOsh!"

PoNTIAC'S GRAVE.
An Indian Whose Name Was eyno
nym for Cruelty.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
In few days the old building near the
corner Of Fourth and Walnut streets, st.
Louis, which marks the spot where Pom
tiac, the great Ottawa chief, was buried.
win be torn down to make room for a more
modern and commodious structure. Pos
| slbly the excavators may unearth some of
the bones of the warrior, whose very name,
a little over century ago, made the red
coats tremble The story of the closing
| days of Pontiac's career is a sad one. In
| the summer of 1869 Pontiac arrived in ST.
Louis to visit his friend and old acduain-
lance, St. Ange de Bellerive, then acting
governor of Northern Louisiana. The
| fame of Pontiac at the time was as wide
| spread as that of Grant or Sherman in
these days. From the Mississippi to
the Atlantic and, indeed, throughout ell
Europe, his name was a synonym
| of savage courage and cruelty. His
deeds had terrorized the English and de-
lighted the French Among the Indians he
had been looked upon as the one who was
to relieve them from the oppression of the
whites and restore their condition to its
original simplicity and security. He had
formed the great confederation of many
different tribes, dwelling hundreds of miles
apart, occupying the country between the
Mississippi and the Allegheny, the Ohio and
the great lakes, to resist the power and en-
croachment Of the English. He had won
the friendship and confidence of the chival-
rous Montcalm at Quebec; had distin-
gulshed himself In the ambuscade and defeat
of Gen. Braddock; had planned the mas
secre of Michilimackinac; had matured the
plan and appointed the time for attacking
the forts aud settlements of the English
pioneers, by which more than 2 1000 of them
lost their lives, and had only been prevented
from capturing Detroit by the treachery of
an Indian girl.
These exploits had cast glamour of no
nance about his name and excited IN the
people of st. Louis the most intense desire
70 bshoid the great chieftain. st. Ange de
bellerlve. gave him most cordial reception
at his own quarters in the house of NJ.
Chouteau, and be was feted and caressed
by the principal inhabitants OF the village.
About this time, however, it became evil
dent that the plans of Pontiac, although
promising in their inception and aided by
one OF the greatest nations in Europe, had
all failed. His Indian allies had all for
saken him, and his best friends among the
French had persuaded him to sue for peace.
Crushed by disappointment the chief sought
relief for his sorrows in the flowing bowl.
his life during the few months he lived in
81. Louis was one continuous inglorious
debauch. The great Pontiac had fallen to
rise no more.

PLATE-GLAss MAKING.
4 New Process Invented by Which
Tough Plate Glass Can be Rolled

Out.
From the Buffalo (M " Commercial
There is one thing at least in the material
world you can see through, even though
you cannot explain why, and that is plate
glass. Very few people have any idea of
the improvements which have been made
in the manufacture of this article in recent
years IN this country. Thirty years ago
the French and Belgians had almost mo-
nopoly Of the manufacture of fine plate
glass, far excelling the British and German
makes both in purity of color and general
regularity and polish. One of the greatest
curiosities of the London exhibition of 1862
was a sheet of French plate glass about
10x12 feet, but that was pigmy compared
with the sheets half as large again exhib-
tied at the Centennial in 1876. And now
comes the information that the largest
plate glass ever cast in the world was drawn
from the annealing furnaces at the Dia-
mond plate glass factory at Kokono. Ind. i,
few days ago. 1t measures 145x195 inches.
weighs 1000 pounds, and is perfect in every
particular.
More wonderful still is the announcement
that a manufacturer at Mannheim in Ger
many has invented process whereby
tough plate-glass can be rolled out to almo it
any reasonable width and length, in the
same way that metal is rolled out into
sheets, and thus entirely doing away with
the plan hitherto in vogue Of blowing large
hollow cylinders which are afterward cut
and pressed out. IL is said that by this
process "the plate-glass so produced is dis
tinguished by greater homogeneity, firm
ness, toughness and clearness; besides the
surfaces receive a brilliancy of finish little
less beautiful than the finest cut-glass. The
essential part Of the new system consists in
the use of peculiarly formed waved hollow
metal rolls, which are heated from the in
side by means of steam or gas. These rolls
take tough liquid glass direct from the
melting pot and run it out into long sheets,
