Money Chasing in America.

Perhaps it is wrong to boast too freely
about the perfections of the United States.
The condition of our finances, the low grade
of morality permeating our political sys-
tens and false methods of conducting bust
ness are all bound to yield bitter fruit some
day if some means are not taken to improve
matters Mommsen, the German historian
of Rome, and there are none better, makes
a statement that is strikingly applicable to
some of the most pronounced evils existent
in this country. It is at that point of one
of his works where he depicts the character
of the Romans at the beginning of their
national decline. He says: "Money, and
nothing but money, became the watchword
with high and low. Men did not, if pos
sible, steal outright, but all shifts seemed
allowable in order to attain rapidly to
riches-plundering and begging, cheating
on the part of contractors and swindling on
the part of speculators, usurious trading in
money and in grain, even the turning of
purely moral relations, such as friendship
and marriage, to economic account. Mar
riage, especially, became on both sides a
matter of mercantile speculation; marriages
for money were common, and it appeared
necessary to refuse legal validity to the
presents which the spouses made to each
other"

v1cToR1A's PRIVATE SECRETARY.
He Only Gets Ton Thousand Year, but He
Has Many Advantages.

He Only Gets Ton Thousand q Year, but He
Has Many Advantages.
Sir Henry Ponsonby, Queen victoria's
private secretary, writes Edwadr Wakefield
to The DISPATCH, is a smart, well-pre-
served, military looking man of 66, always
dressed with exquisite taste, though with a
good deal of style, and possessed of such
polished manners and such q suave and
dignifed bearing that nobody can help being
strongly attracted to him. Like all the
persons most closely attached to the Queen,
he is poorly paid for the work he does. He
receives altogether about SO, 200 year,
with house rent free at St. James Palace,
and, of course, free quarters wherever the
Queen is.
But he has considerable income of his
own and his wife has means; and their DO
sition at court has advantages altogether
apart from pecuniary ones. They ere in the
very inner circles of the best society with
out any of the burdens of grandeur, and
their children have excellent prospects in
life open before them. Their eldest daugh-
ter, Alberta Victoria, the Queens godchild,
made brilliant marriage quite recently,
and the presents that poured in from all
quarters, even from several European soy
ereigns, were almost equal in splendor to
those of royal wedding. The Queen her
self made special journey to London to
attend the CEREMONY thing she has sell
dom done-and the first name witness
ing the marriage of the private secretary's
daughter in the register of the Guards
chapel is the bold, stiff signature of "Vic-
toria R & L"

CHAPTER Y.

CHAPTER z.
Taking Few quick steps toward the
Princess, and passing Philibert's unstirred
figure, Clarimond leaned his lips close to
the lady's cheek, and shot out one low, de-
termined sentence: "You have gone too
far, madam-too far, as you will perceive"
In another moment he turned and spoke
to Philibert
"You are insolent," he said, "and most
meaningly So"
The Prince gave slight shudder, and
seemed about to respond.
"Not word" commanded the King, and
his voice, though loud, was wholly calm. I"
1 dismiss you from the palace. Do not pre-
sumo to enter it again, on pain of exile.
Philibert stood as if irresolute, and then,
growing almost ghastly, stammered forth in
reply: "If wore a sword, as my fore
fathers did. I would break it and drop the
fragments at your Majesty's feet"
With glistening eyes, the King curled his
lip. 'tBetter if you thought less about de-
porting yourself like the pet tenor in .
French grand-opera, monsieur, and spent
your heroics into more wholesome form.
There are throngs of hungry beings in Sal
travia that need the 40, 900 francs am told
you flung away on single night, last
month, at Partisan gaming-table

clearness, penetrated far The guests who

be injured. Most of the boxes, however
are fastened together with glue, and also
with pegs and am pretty sure that these
give better sound than those having nails
'or pegs only; but putting them together re.
quires great care. ALI the parts should be
fastened carefully and firmly together till
the glue is dry, and good plan would be to
first connect the sides, ends and the bottom,
and when they are firm to put on the top OF
chief sounding board. The Eolian harp
is constructed on the same principle as the
violin, and this is why the top of the box is
called the sounding board
The box, completed, made solid and close
in the JOINTS the next step is to put on
bridges on which the strings must rest.
These should consist of beech, oak. box
wood, or some other description of hard
wood, about half an inch high and quarter
of an inch thick, the strips long enough to
extend across the box, short distance from
the ends. These two strips serve the same
purpose as the bridge of a violin, the strings
being drawn over them from end to end of
the box. In the center of the top or sound
ing board draw with a pair of compasses
circle, say, an inch and half in dame
ter; and perforate this circle with a num-
Der Of small and carefully made holes a
short distance apart. Holes may also be
made within the circle.
Stretching the Strings.
1t is necessary also to put on two other
strips, one across each end of the box, on
the outside, and on level with the top of
the sounding board, and into one of these
are placed as many small brass pins as there
are to be strings in the instrument. In the

be fastened firmly. Some fasten on the up
per or covering board with glue, but others
attach it with pegs, which are made tight
on top by driving in small wedges
Silk Threads Will Serve.
If catgut strings cannot be obtained, an
Eolian harp may be made by following the
instructions given and using silk threads
Heavy threads are used for the bass strings
or low keys, and fine thread for the high
notes. I once succeeded in finishing an in
strument for which could not obtain cat
gut, and it gave forth continuous strain Of
sweet musical sounds.
Placed at some distance from the room
where one sleeps, the music seems to be in
the air and everywhere through the house.
When the wind blows hard the strings are
shaken with great force and gwiftness, and
the wailing of the harp sounds as loud as
the crying of the storm. I know many per-
sons who cannot bear to listen to this cry
ing music in the storm, but to the majority
the sounds are soothing and full of beauty.
When the traveller visits Strasburg, he
wants first of all to see the Cathedral with
its wonderful clock, but when he stops be-
low one of the towers, if the wind is blow
ing hard, he hears overhead a mild tempest
of lovely music, and his guide informs him
that there are Eolian harps set in the great
windows The instruments are large and
are left exposed in bad weather, but the
wood is protected from the wet by varnish.
At Baden-Baden there is an old castle, in
the windows of which are several large
Eolian harps, and the whole air about the
place is filled with musical sounds during
storm. EDMUND COLLINS.

ing the throne matters were in q very bad
shape indeed. Brazil had assumed lnde-
pendence and serious home troubles had i'm
paired the Government in every depart
ment
With the new monarch in power Portugal
improved. To Louis is given the credit Of
introducing the telegraph and railroads into
the country; providing better army and
navy, and generally compelling the respect
of other countries, which the latter had
hitherto neglected to extend. If the truth
be told, however, to the Queen Maria Pia,
daughter of Victor Emanuel of Italy, the
real credit belongs. She 1t was that insti-
gated the improvements mentioned while
her husband was closeted in his study with
his Shakespeare.
Is it any wonder then, that such a woman,
after enjoying for years practically the
powers of king, should feel keenly their
loss as she did when her husband died and
she was compelled to give way to young
inexperienced man, her son, and his wife.
Nevertheless, for number of years she is
believed to have been the guiding power in
Portugal, but as lately the young queen
Amelia, evidences as much desire to rule as
her mother-in-law, the latter must in conse-
quence tske back seat. This the dowager
is not willing to do. Absolute retirement
from authority is CALLING to her ambition
and it is now said she is determined to have
a voice in the affairs of the government at
any cost, even if that be the forcing of her
unruly eldest son to abdicate and the plac-
ing of her obedient second son in control
Reports of trouble here and there among
the Portuguese, indicate that some hidden
influence is at work. Even in court circles,
it is claimed, the queen dowager is back of
it all. WILKIE.

heard them rapidly whispered them t.
others who had not heard. A dead silence
followed, while the ladies huddled together
in alarm, and the gentlemen (mostly oil
quite ready to throw themselves between
Philibert and the King if any reasonable
act were attempted by this noble of such
removed bad temper), gathered nearer to
the scene of dispute.
In Prince Phillbert (who would instantly
have decided to challenge any equal and al
most any inferior who should thus have as
sailed HIM, this reproach from his King pro-
duced only . sort of grief-stricken dlsmay.
He clasped both hands together like ter
rifed woman, and then, with look of in
finite reproach from his splendid, dusky
ewes, hurried almost reelingly away.
Clarimond at once called out TO the as
semblage, in tones vibrant, high-pitched,
vet full of extreme dignity: ''Ladies and
gentlemen, ask your pardon for what has
occurred, and beg that you will now all do
me the Kindness of leaving me alone with
my mother, the Princess, to whom must
speak few words"
He stood, as he spoke, at the side of tn e
chair into which his mother had sun He
was the picture of perfect self-control, and
though paler than anyone present had ever
before seen him, the kingliness of his
bearing had never been more finely mani
fest
In little hubbub of murmurs the entire
throng pushed toward the door. To the
Kings ears came nothing articulate, and
vet the excited hum might in part have
been translated by phrases like these, fall
ing with sibilant tumult from friends, luke
warm friends, partial foes, and foes inactive
though malign:
ga fine King on my life"

paying him the proper courtp'

rnuld Just two years OF
republicanism and does not appear to be
any too well satisfied with its experience;
Salvador is trembling on the brink OF
financial ruin and Guatemala is all torn up
by a civil war. There must be something
wrong with the people who are elected to
office in those countries or they would not
be having such troubles Possibly they
have not yet reached such degree of cult
ure as to be able to direct the affairs OF
state intelligently. We have in Chile an
exhibition Of President who tried to assert
as much, if not more, than the klngly pre-
rogative; in Brazil Fonseca has about got
himself in the same shape, and there Is
hardly any doubt that the same complaint
is at the bottom of the troubles in Salvador
and Guatemala
1t is well known that the last President
of the latter country was q good man, until
his ambition mastered him. He then gath
cred to himself nearly all the available cash
in the country and departed with his amia-
BILE wife and numerous progeny for the
United States, where the wife, who is now
charming widow, is complacently engaged
in spending it for him. Barillas, the good
Barillas, President, General and what not,
who was then placed in power to succeed
Barrios as reform candidate, did well
enough for awhile, but has now got the
dictator" bee in his bonnet as bad as any
of them, and heaven only knows where he
will end up. 1t would be a good scheme for
the South American republics to declare q
sort of regency or provisional government,
while some of their most available material
is being put through course of sprouts in
this country as to the proper ways and
means of conducting governments of our
kind

The Origin OF Sutteeism,

A case of sutteeism is reported from
Bengal, India Some so years ago the affai,
would have attracted slight attention, but,
since the East India Company and the
English Government undertook to stop it,
but few instances are heard of, and in every
one vigorous measures are taken to punish
those having a hand in the cruel act. 1t is
interesting to note how many persons will
ask, every time the suttee is discussed, the
cause of the barbarous custom. MANY
answers have been given, in fact, the SUBJ
Ject has been under general consideration
for centuries OF course, the belief is, that
it is part of the Hindoo religion, and
learned Brahmans have offered parts of their
sacred books in explanation of it, but these
were so contradictory that it came to be be-
ieTed that the practice was the result of an
erroneous Interpretation of the Vedic laws.
DR.. Cheyer, an eminent authority, intro
duced some years ago an ingenious and more
plausible theory than the religious one. He
claimed that Hindoo wives had gotten into
the habit of avenging themselves on their
husbands for their cruelty and neglect, by
secretly poisoning them. The custom be-
came so general that some means had to be
taken to prevent it. Sutteeism or the sac
rifce of the wife when the husband died
was instituted with the result that the
mortality among married men was very ap-
preciably diminished.

came rushin

swallows after her. Giving her in turn a
vicious peck, they rose in air, swooped down,
and pecked her again squarely on the back,
one after the other, though she was running
in all directions. Twenty-three times I
watched them rise in air SO high as to be
out of sight, then came sailing down, one
behind the other, and each time giving the
poor cat peck apiece on the back, al
though she was speeding hither and thither
bewildered, seeking to hide under carts,
under trees, here and there; they never
missed her once, though they never slowed
their swift flight to do it, never paused for
the peck, but swiftly gave it as they
skinned down over her, rising on the same
point of curve, to descend again presently.
For about two weeks they were seen to fiy
out and repeat this punishment whenever
the cat appeared on the green near the barn.

Of nearly any music dealer. Four is the
smallest number used, but six, eight and
even more may be stretched along the box
and should be so arranged as to form q har-
mony Of sounds The music dealer can ex-
plain this, but when the strings are put in
you will have to trust your own ear to tune
the harp. The strings should be pitched all
in the same key, though high, low and mid
die notes may be used.
The box is now nearly finished, but one
thing more remains to be done, and this is
to put thin cover made of sound, dry, res
onant board about three inches above the
top Of the box so that the wind may be able
to course over the strings. -Four stout
wooden pegs should be glued onto the cor
ners Of the box, and to these the board must
