 The author of "'Round the World in Eighty Days" has just lately ventilated these views on three world-famous nations
 "The Germans are remark ably clever, but only theoret- ically, while the Americans are undoubtedly practical, but they lack taste. Nobody can deny to the Frenchmen the suprem- acy in matters of art.
 Putting aside the natural partiality of a child of sunny France for his own people, the truth of the expressed opinion is past contradiction.
 Take a single instance
 These dainty imported Dress lengths"
 The bulk of them born in a Frenchman's fantastic brain. The artful color-blending, the subtleties of weave, the queerishly odd effects that are almost tumbled together as it were, and yet melt into a me- [lodious whole whenever your eye would seek to separate them. '
 The daring contrasts are French conceits, the work was wrought by French fingers. Such art-wonders could be looked for from no other source.
 Then the added charm oi each individuality. No two designs alike. Each a master piece of the makers art. Any

LONDON'S SOLIDlTY.
p. T. Barnum's Impression OF the World.
Greatest City.

One of the most durable and constant
impressions that have got from Lon
don, and from England, too, is the solid
ity of everything there, wrote the late
=. L. Barnum in the North American
Review. The English people do not
believe in shams or sham work Their
docks and public monuments, and all
their public works, express Il sense Of
pcrmancncc. They arc built, appar-
emily, to hold the planet down, and to
stay.
If it is scat in the park or water
ing trough you are noticing, it is no
less thoroughly made than the Thames
cmbanllncnt Indeed, the trough and
seat will be found hcwcd out of solid
stone.
said, many years Hgo, when I was
abroad, that Paris makes a thing to last
for day, America makes it to last n
week, but England makes it to last for
ever.
They have good roads-far better
than ours-but they do not take to light
wagons like ours. The frames of some
of their vehicles are as heavy, if not
heavier, than the balloon frames we put
in our houses.
And how ashamed it makes one of
New York to see, us one does in Lon
don, the smooth and well-pavcd streets,
and carriages going over them equipped
with rubber tires to dcadcn the noiscl
Asphalt is now the common pavement,
and the one most preferred, although
certain streets are macadamized in n
fine and thorough way. The asphalt
pavement becomes SO smooth that the
horses, when they go down hill over
which it lies, do not lift up their feet
but slide-almost slato-down the in
cline. Their intelligence has taught
them that this is tho easiest and most
practicable way.
On the other hand, horses that have
never been away from prairie. or ex-
trcmcly level country, do not learn the
use of the brc cching on harness, and
go down hill, if they are ever removed
to n country OF different topography,
without attempting to hold back, and
without knowing how.

ABOUT ELKHORN RIVER.
Ono of the Wild Mountain Streams of
Southwest Virginia.


The Elkhorn. like other water courses
of the western slope of the Alleghanies,
has worn deep hollow for It's passage
through the loose rocky soil of the Flat
Top region. This quarrclsomc and
savage little stream follows q winding
and tortuous way at the bottom of its
narrow valley. The mountains on
either side are steep, worn and ragged,
beyond description, and through this
broken mountain land, hurrying over
bouldcrs, or lingering in shady pools,
Elkhorn finds its way to Tug river, a
stream of still wider aspect.
This wild country seems fit home
for so turbulent river. The noun
tains on every side are covered with
virgin forests, which seem endless and
eXhaustlcss, oak, poplar and hemlock
have had possession here for centuries,
and is yet almost undisturbcd by man
The smaller growth of this valley is in
tercsting on the alluvium that has ac-
cumulatcd for ages, a wildness of giant
rhododendron finds home, and form an
impenet rable tangle after the fashion
Of tropical thickcts.
Higher up on the hills feebler varieties
hnd foot-hold in the creviccs Of the rocks
and depend for life on the crumbling
stone and sand that rains may chance to
bring. In these safe retreats pale bios
SONS are born and die, and then kindly
foliage hides the nakcdness Of the cliffs.
The hcmlocks arc the most beautiful,
if least valuable of tho forest trees:
they stand in clusters. solemn and
stately, the guardians Of the mountains
and may be seen here in all the glory of
their unfading green. After the fires
OF autumn have died out and tho last
dry leaves left shivcring in the
cold winds, these remain, unchanged bv
the frosts, the foliage as constant and
unchanging as the hills.

greater heat than If the air was absent,
SO, too, powerful air blast is q great
economizer in smelling and reducing
ores. But the new fuel is the air itself,
which in powerful blast is directed
upon, an incandesccnt substance, say
coal made white hot, pure carbon or
any other materials that can be made
to glow. Coal hydrocarbons or what
not may be employed to give the initial
incandcsccncc, but once the blast
strikes the luminous body, the utmost
intensity of heat is secured, apparently
by the combustion of the air, and may
be maintained for an indefinite period
by merely preserving the incandcscencc
OF the surface, and this may be done by
slight manipulation of the surface
brought to incandescencc, and with
some slight renewal of carbonaoeous

How Hc "Skinned" Pension Agent FOR q.

NV" Aho n PcnsfOn Agent XOr q
Poor Old Widow.
AS lawyer Abraham Lincoln used
to say that the best way to gain n lust
case was to free it from legal technical
ltles and get it properly swung to the
jury" In his Life of Lincoln" Mr..
Hcrndon tells story to illustrate what
MS former law partner meant by that
peculiar phrase. a certain pension
agent had recovered for the widow of a.
revolutionary soldier the sum of four
hundred dollars due and unpaid to her
husband at his death, and had retained
one-half of the amount for his fec Tho
claimant, crippled old woman, hob
Died into the Office and told her story.
1t stirred Lincoln up, he brought suit
against the agent, and on the day OF tho
trial he said
Il am going to skin Wright and get
that money back" lie did so. When
the case came up Lincoln put the whitel
haired claimant on the stand and She,
told her story to the jury. When it was
ended Lincoln drew n picture of the,
hardships of Valley Forge, describing,
the soldiers as creeping barcfootcd over
the ice and marking their tracks with
their bleeding feet. Then he contrastedj
the hardships endured for their country
with the hardened action of the agents
in fleeing the old woman of one-half
of her pension. He was mcrcilcss; tho
members of the jury were in tears, and;
the agent writhcd in his seat under the,
castigation of Lincoln's denunciation.
The jury returned q verdict in her favor
for the full amount and Lincoln made
no charge for his services

The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1891-09-29

Tho above cut gives an imperfect idea
of this enterprise which was started in
1850, with Louis n. Scholz, an expert
enced brewer of Baltimore. as general
manager.
The original mover in the effort TO
establish a brewery in Roanoke was
Herman Cruegcr, gentleman who has
in an humble way contributed very
largely to the materia; growth and rep
utation Of Roanoke. lie organized the
first Building and Loan Association,
several investment and other compa-
MES, and as soon as he saw his way
clear to make 4 brewery pay he wrote
Mr.. Scholz, of Baltimore, to como here
for conference.
The result was tho organization of
the Virginia Brewing Company, tho
erection of the necessary buildings, the
placing of machinery and the brewing
of beer, which at once became favorite
with people who desired light bcv-
cragcs.
