From the New York sun
Did You ever see poor and shabby
belle: Such young lady stood in the
throng of women in a cabin of a Twenty
third street ferryboat yesterday. At the
first glance You would not, in all hkeli
hood. have noted anything peculiar about
her You would have seen only a tall,
very shapely, modest girl of distinctly
genteel appearance. If you had glanced
at her again you would have been startled,
for she presented a picture as rare as any
that we see in the kaleidoscope of life in
the metropolis. For she was young, well
bred proud. and yet very, very poor.
She wore a hat of what appeared to be
rabbit skin, evidently homemade and
made with great cleverness and taste, yet
showing in other ways than in the cheap
ness of the fur that it had never come
from milliner's hands. Moreover, the
| fur was bedrsggled, as If its wearer had
been out in the rain without an umbrella.
Her newmarket was of gray cloth and fit

and had faded. and here and there were
little knots of stitches showing that small
moth holes had been carefully sswed up

gloves were good, but they we're Of cloth.
But it was when her face was studied that
her condition was made eloquent. der
skin had that waxen appearance which the
human face displays when the body lacks
nutritious food. There was hint of pa
thos in her eyes, and though the lines that
were drawn down and back from her
mouth were not yet deep, they were appa-
rent. nevertheless; they were the lines of
SORROW and of continually enforced self
denial A little boy was with her, and
when she spoke to him her voice was soft
and musical. Her choice of words was
that of an educated and refined lady, her
manner was dignifed. When she moved
about You saw that one shoe, though pol
ished, was torn and out of shape. She
was very, very poor. And she was con-
scious of her condition; indeed, it was ev-
ident that she had not long been as poor
as now. She must have once been in COM

Very richly dressed ladies crowded

CHEAP TALK.,, NO FIGHT,


The Democratic papers of the State look
upon the majority report of the house
committee on the canvass of votes for
State officers with all the horror and rep
rotation they can conveniently command.
Their feelings are expressed in "double
loaded" articles in which Italic letters and
exclamation points are numerous and con-
spicuous And the Register, after using
all the adjectives it can think of, delibe1-
ately announces that its supply of adjec-
tives is not adequate to the occasion. Then
it bursts into the following: Have the
Gods made the committee mad in order to
more speedily destroy thems We know
not. We simply know that if the Demo
Gratis needed justification for extreme
measures, the report in question gives it
to them. Let them now act with resolu-
ton and courage. The time for parleying
has passed; the time for action, either in
one direction or the other, has arrived.
What does this mean? Does the Register
want to zee Judge Morris and his associ
ates on the State ticket head charge on
une Cap1IOl 1OT Gue purpose ol capturing
the Offices now held by Governor Bulkeley
and the other State officers? If this is not
the direction in which the Register would
like to see action taken what is "the 9th
| era" What action can be taken except this,
or action toward joining the Republicans
| in a full and fair investigation of the whole
| muddle! We do not believe that the Regis
| ter wants to see the white Capitol red
| dened with the gore of the Republican
State officers, or, if these officers should
turn out to be the better fighters, with the
gore of Judge Morris and his fellow pre-
tenders 1t must be ''the other" action
which the Register would like to see tax
en-. If so, it is in accord with most of the
people of the State, who are anxious that
the matter should be settled as it ought tc
be, by an investigation whose fairness and
fullness cannot be questioned.
| But if the Register wants to see a 6ght
we can tell it that it will be very hard to
get one started. There has been so much
talk that even the chief participators in i
are tired. They, and all concerned, wan
| a rest, not fight.

SEVEN THIRSTY ELEPHANTS.
And How They Helped Thcmselr'
from the Locomotive Tank.


from the Locomotive Tank.
From the January 81 Nicholas
One day a circus and menRgerie train
halted at the railway station ON its way
through a town. OF course there was great
curiosity among the railroad men to in
spect this queer special train; and among
others the engineer and the fireman of one
of the locomotives in the yard left their
posts for short time to see the different
menagerie cars.
When they came back and Were ready to
move their locomotive, they noticed that
the cover of the water tank was open
Further, they luckily discovered that the
tank was nearly empty-although it had
been full to the brim when they left ii.
Such an extraordinary thing had never
happened befores No wonder there was
great surprise on all sides: every one knew
the tank was full when the men had left il;
in fact some of the hands had seen il
filed, neither was there leak in it, and
yet the tank was empty. The question was,
where had the water gone,
Seven thirsty elephants, shut up all day
and all night in a car that gave them hard
touching one another, paltry allowance
of water to quench their thirst, and, then,
to be left standing on the hot railroad
track, the suns rays pouring down upon
the roof of the car, and with only such air
as could come through the small open win
dows, Was ii any wonder, when their
keen scent told them water was near, that
they should search for it How Were they
to know that it was not there for their con-
venience. At any rate, no sooner Were the
men gone, when through a small window
of the elephant car the dusky trunk of an
elephant made its way, sinuously out An
other followed its example, then another,
until seven trunks had felt and snuffed
around, over engine, tender, and coal.
What they sought was not there, but they
still kept moving about, and, coming to
| the water tank, one of them stopped, felt
all over the cover, and at last managed to
/ get the finger-li1e end under the edge of
| the cover. Then slowly and carefully 1t
/ was opened: when, behold. there WAS what
the elephants wanted-waier and plenty of
it. The owner of that particular trunk
took a long draught, its companions mean
while showing and pushing one another, in
| their anxiety to drink One after another
they filed their trunks with the cool water
| and poured it down their dry parch throats.
How grateful. How refreshing, After the
long, dusty ride, with what keen enjoy
ment they squirted the water over theil
tired, hot bodies. until they were cool and
comfortable.
The mystery over the empty tank was 1

''The great drawback, - said Mr. Richard,
one of the agents of the Hamburg -Ameri-
can Packet company, ito crossing the
ocean quicker than we do at present is the
expense of coal. More powerful engines
could be built which would increase the
speed, but these engines would require so
much more coal The steamers of the
Hamburg-American Packet company now
consume about 210 to $50 tons of coal a
day; if $50 tons were needed daily these
steamers would be run at loss, for be-
sides the cost and the valuable space re-
quired for the additional hundred or SO
tons of coal, more engineers, more stok-
ers, etc, would be needed. But if we
went to an unlimited expense for the
most powerful engines in the world, the
gain of time in crossing the ocean would
not be more than eight or ten hours, SO
long as coal is used
II have great faith, however, in cleo
tricity some day or other taking the place
of coal for the propulsion of ocean steam
ers and when this is brought about they
will be run much cheaper. The weight OF
the coal does not make the steamer slower:
that has nothing to do with il. Some
times a weighted steamer goes faster than
one that is not weighted. all depending
upon the wind and weather
Steamers can never go as quick as
locomotives, because they have to CON
tend against water and air, whereas the
railroad cars have only air as a resist
ance. Assuming the maximum speed of
locomotive TO he about sixty miles an
hour over short distances, ii may be said
that it goes three times as rapidly as
steamer, although the average time made
by the average express train is only
twice the average time made by a fast
steamer"
