culinary and laundry operations are car ried on with reckless disregard of the constant danger from fire. The space be- tween the buildings on narrow alleys has been utilized in the same way. On the timbers reaching from one side to the other these ramshackle kitchens have been constructed, some of. them. three stories high. Fires are blazing in them con stantly.
 The Farmers alliance might possibly learn something from what has happened. The great wheat deal may turn out as the cotton deal did four years ago, when the alliance had just begun operations in the southern states. General John B. Gordon of Georgia was the prime mover in it. He presented it to English capitalists, who stood ready to furnish any amount of capital necessary to hold the product by making advances to those cotton growers who would not be able to hold it without financial assistance. The alliance leaders were in favor of it. But the innumerable producers, whose consent to the plan was necessary in order to put it into effect, uttsrly prevented it from being carried out, and we have since seen cotton selling at prices below the lowest record.
 There will probably soon be focking to Africa. The early reports of the dis covery of gold in paying quantities in Mashonaland appear to be fully confirmed by later advices, and the English have been making the best of their opportunity, without paying any attention to Portu- guese protests. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Fort Sails bury, says: Five distinct gold fields or mining districts have been opened-name- ly, Umfuli Gncluding Hartley HilD, Lo Magondi, Mazoe, Kaiser Wilhelm Cor Moto- ko), and Manica. In each . mining com missioner and claim inspector have been appointed, and in four (not as yet in the Kaiser Wilhelm) fully established. The results of the Umfuli, Lo Magondi, Nazoe and Manica fields more than justify the earlier sanguine ex- pectations regarding the great extent, and confirm the impression concerning the sufficiently rich quality, of the fields. Nothing reliable is as yet known about the Kaiser Wilhelm feld-at least nothing sufficient to warrant any opinion being formed of it. Large districts still remain to be explored and prospected inside Nash onaland proper, the southern limit of which, for the present, has been drawn at the Umswezwi river. Alluvial gold has been found in considerable quantity in various parts of the country, but not as yet in quantity or quality such as to draw away the prospectors from the reefs, easi- ly found and traced by the aid of the old workings.

AN OPEN LETTER.

All who have watched the contest which has been intermittently waged at Hartford will be interested in the open letter from Hon. Lynde Harrison to Editor Porter of the Hartford Post. The Post has breathed forth threatenings, and once, we believe, slaughter, toward MT. Harrison. MT. Har- rison does not initiate this warfare, but he sets forth, in 8 clear and convincing way, an array of facts which we do not see how MT. Porter is going to successfully deal with. And, in addition, MT. Harrisons offer to submit any matter which Mr. Por- ter may be in doubt about to Senator Shumway or some other competent judge is proposition whose fairness cannot be disputed.
 What MT. Harrison's position in the election controversy has been is perfectly we'll understood and very generally ap- proved in this region. In our opinion it has been fair and wise throughout. We do not see how it has been so misunderstood and misjudged by the Post.
 EUROPE'S MILITARY BURDEN.
 Mir. Simon w. Hanauer contrasts the economical and political prospects of Flu rope with those of the United States in an interesting way. He compares the sums spent for the education of the people in European countries with the sums spent for war. Beginning with Germany, we find that to schools (exclusiye of universi- ties, which are to @ large extent main tained by private endowments and fees) only about SIC, ,000,0 900 are devoted by the State. Against this insignificant outlay we are to set nearly $1S5, 900, 900 annually disbursed for military and naval purposes. In the dual monarchy of Austria Hungary the army and navy cost $64, 800, ,0OO a year, while only $6,25o, 900 are allotted to educa- tion. In Italy they have to pay almost $9O, 100000 yearly for the protection of their country, and can only afford to spend $4 ,000,00 on the system of pub lie instruction, exclusive of the univer- sities. France is doing more for the ally allotted to the public schools ($21 ,0OO,- 900 in round numbers) is very far from being adequate, and contrasts strangely with the sl51, ,OOO, 900 called for the mili- tary and naval estimates. The data pre- sented by Russia are less discouraging than might have been expected, though they are sufficiently unsatisfactory. Rus sia assigns to educational appliances nearly $17 100000 year, or more than four times as much as Italy, though, on the other hand, she spends yearly for her army and navy $2O9,OOO,OOO. Even in England the disproportion is striking, for the army and navy cost s156,0O0,00O a year, while less than $24, 100000 are laid out for public ducation-exclusive of the universities, most of which have funds of their own.
 A very different condition of things is found in this country, and 1t seems req sonable to expect that as time goes on Europe will feel more and more the bad effects of the war burdens, while the United States will advance in true civiliza- tion

An Electric Carriage.
Boston Transcript.l

lboston Iranscr1ptl
 A novelty among vehicles in the coun- try-an electric csrriage-is now being constructed at the factory of NJ. W. Quin- Ian in Brookline, from plans drawn from photograph of a similarly propelled ear riage in present use in London. Because of the very limited information furnished by these plans, the work of construction which has been on for some weeks was made necessarily slow, and it is thought that it will take several weeks more to complete it.
 Being simply an experiment, no attempt was made to make something in which people could ride; and in appearance. therefore, it is nothing more than large box with seat in the steersr on the for ward end, as in any ordinary wagon.
 The body was built by A. NJ Wood of Beverly street, Boston, and is made of sea- soned hickory. The springs and axles are from the works of the Tomlinson Spring company of Newark, N. J., and, though strong and heavy. are of the ordinary pat tern. The Holtzer-C Cabot Electrical com pauy made the battery, which contains thirty-two cells, and is placed in the rear end of the body. The motor is one of for eign manufacture, and is located between the hind springs, where it is attached to the body by two hinge clasps in such 8 manner as to allow it to swing when the motion of the carriage is irregular, al though this swing is regulated by con- meeting rod between the axle and motor. The driving shafts of the motor extend on either side beyond the springs, and are fit ted with cog-wheel attachments which con- meet by an endless chain to larger cog wheels on the inner side of the rear wheels, and thus propulsion is furnished. The steering apparatus is situated on the left side of the coach platform, and the steer ing is done by a ratchet attachment underneath the platform. In case of acci- dent to the motor, shafts can be fitted to the carriage and horses attached. When completed, the whole will weigh about 2,500 pounds. All the electrical work is done by the Holtzer-C Cabot company, under whose supervision the carriage is building, although it is understood that several oth- CTS are interested in its success.

THE HILLS OF lynn.


We wandered down the hills of Lynn,
xMyloye and together.
Cacalas chanting fine and thin
Made musical the heather;
Within the vale the lamps, like stars,
Shone in the dusk. and ruddy Mars
On high his pennon fioated:
. love, o love, a song bird there
Sang for us silver throated.
Oh, pleasant are the hills of Lynn
In summer greenly growing.
When stars the twilight usher in;
The reapers from the moving
Come whistling homeward through the
glade,
And each one watches for the maid
To him most dear and pleasing,
While down the lane the loaded wains
Creak after loudly Wheeling
The hills of Lynn, to me SO dear,
How shall | tread them lonely?
My sweet love is not with me here,
Yon moon marks one shape only,
One shadow drawn across the grass,
Where once were two, dear love, alasl
I'd fain be here laid sleeping;
For wandering down the hills of Lynn
Alone sets me a-weeping.
The hills of Lynn, oh. the hills of Lynn
Where we used to walk together,
wish me dead on the hills of Lynn
At the end of the golden weather;
wish me dead in a cold, cold shroud.
Beneath the withered clover.
For since he has gone has come a cloud
The golden hill slopes over.

The Peasant. R.nlr.

A gentleman who has recently re-
turned from Russia relates aniincident
which, although trifing in itself, isiyet
most pathetically suggestive of the con-
dition of the poor in Russia, and of the
state of things which has bred SO deep
( and SO widespread discomfort among the
people. .isre ..s,.,.f .rr
Being about to leave some station at
which he had been staying for a few
days, the gentleman in question called
in a moozhik-to adopt the spelling of
George Kennan-to strap his trunks.
The man was of enormous build, with
every appearance of great strength
while the traveller is not above medium
height, and while of compact mold is b =
no means of muscular appearance.
The trunk was rather oyerfull, and the
task of bringing the buckle on the strap
into its place was by no means a light
one. The Russian tried again and again,
becoming short of breath and red in the
face with his efforts, while the American
looked on at first in impatient silence
and then with contemptuous reproaches.
At length. losing patience, the traveller
pushed the moozhik aside, and with a
single quick effort brought the strap
down and buczled it.
There" he said, '.are you not
ashamed, you great big fellow, to be all

can do in a minute. and l only up to
your shouldersF' f4 -; sr7

ply: as n
