General Boulanger in New York.

Don't be startled if tell you secret.
General Boulanger, the deposed head of
a retrograde movement, is in New York.
So, at least, a Frenchman tells me who
claims to have called upon the general
at his secluded lodgings on the east side.
My informant asserts that Boulanger has
shaved his face clean and is DESTROYS of
remaining unknown in the metropolis
until his country calls him. In this case
his residence here is likely to be long
one.
There is strong probability that my
Gallo friend has given me "a straight
tip" in this matter. Boulanger took a
fancy to New York when he was here at
the time of the Yorktown celebration.
He likes the life of large city, and has
been bored on the Isle of Jersey. Lon
don did not treat him well and Paris is
denied him. What is more natural than
that he should come to New York-the
refuge of SO many soiled foreigners

Water That Flows Into the Earth.

There is an interesting instance Of
water flowing inland from the sea. tits
found on the island of Cephalonia, in the
Ionian sea, west of Greece. The phe-
nomenon occurs on the southwest side
of the island, near the small town and
port of Argostoh. Two streams flow at
a short distance from one, straight from
the sea for a few yards, and then follow
different courses. One turns at right
angles and runs for some ways parallel
with the shore and close to it. Then it
turns again toward the sea, and run
ming, of course, deeper and deeper,
doubles completely under itself, thus
forming loop, and finally passes out of
sight deep down in q landward direction.
In its course it turns two -four mills,
which will give an idea of the strength
of the current. There is no tide in the
sea here, and the flow of the salt water
brook is perfectly steady and continuous.
The other stream disappears in the
ground in similar way.
This curious phenomenon has not at
tracted much attention because Argos
toll is not on one Of the regular tourist
routes. No one knows what becomes of
this water, but it probably flows to some
subterranean reservoir, and it may have
something TO do with the earthquakes
that occur in that neighborhood once in
long while, or possibly it feeds some
distant volcano, for, as is well known,
the most generally accepted theory of
the cause of volcanic eruptions is that
they are due to steam generated from
water admitted through cracks in the
earth's crust or in some other way

Some Prison Dogs.

There lives Mt the big penitentiary on
Church street family Of dogs which are
as interesting as any dogs in the state.
Some Of them belong to the officials CON
nected with the prison and some belong
to the prison itself, but they all live and
eat together in perfect harmony. The
most prominent, perhaps, is the large
Newfoundland, Nellie, the property of
+. III. Grass. She possesses almost hui
man intelligence, and there seems hardly
limit to her capacity for learning. She
will go errands, steal a hat OFF the head
of the wearer or preach to you. She is
the mother of four curly, clumsy little
babies, whose frolicsome gambols she
watches with grave dignity.
Nellie loves her babies very much, IN
fact she loves any kind of a child, and
will play with one by the hour. Her
master has little four ear-old girl, and
when Nellie is there to see her they al
ways have big roInp. One of their
games is hide and seek. The little girl
goes and hides while Nellie is held with
here eyes covered. When the time to
commence looking arrives Nellie scours
the whole place and never fails to find
the little one. When found she gently
takes her by the arm and leads her to her
mother.
Another interesting dog living at the
prison is the great Danish mastiff
Dante" He is glorious old fellow,
just such dog as was the friend OF
Little Lord Fauntleroy, and looks fero-
cious enough to eat up a man; but he
wouldn't, for he is sweet tempered and
amiable. He does not get chance to
see many people except the convicts, but
he is very fond of children, and when
they come into the prison yard he fol
lows them around, and will not leave
them as long as they stay in the yard.
There is also fine greyhound, sew
eral hunting dogs and saucy little
spaniel that takes liberties with the big
fellows. On pretty days they will have
a romp, and it is funny thing to see
the greyhound Jump clean over the whole
crowd when they run him too close

The Speed of That Yankee Meteor.

Professor II. a. Newton, of Yale, writes
the following letter with regard to the
great and wonderfully brilliant meteor
which was seen here in Hartford:
The brilliant meteor that you describe
in your issue of Feb. "a, and which was
heard to explode with tremendous noise
in many places in Maine, appears to have
been moving northward, nearly over
Portland, Me-, perhaps from as far south
as Boston, and to have disappeared some
miles above the surface of the earth over
the middle or northern parts of Franklin
county, Me. SO far as known no stones
have been secured from the meteor. If
this is the true path, the body entered
the air with tremendous velocity.
The earth was at that time moving
eighteen miles a second directly toward
the point from which the meteor was
coming. According to accepted theories,
the meteor was moving faster than the
earth, and the stone entered the air with
the sum of the two velocities. This
makes a velocity of more than forty
miles a second. In most of the cases
where stones have been secured the We
locities have been not more than twenty
miles a second. In one instance, how
ever, in Stanhem, Moravia, there were
secured large number of stones from a
meteor whose velocity was as great as
that of the meteor of Feb. 23.-Hartford

A Church of Oranges,

The Palermo (Mon.) Fruit Growers
association, which recently affiliated
with the California State Board of
Trade, sent to San Francisco q large
model of the Union church, which is To-
Gated at Palermo colony in Butte. The
model has been erected in the board of
trade rooms, and is now on exhibition.
The miniature church is an exact model
in every detail of the original, and just
one-seventh its size. 1t is 10 feet in
length, 6i feet wide and III feet in
height. The roof, gables and bell tower
are covered with oranges, some thou
sands of which are used, while in the
windows and around the pedestals are
arranged exhibits of nuts, dried and
fresh fruits and other products of the
colony. AS the oranges used in decorat-
ing the church wither they will be taken
away and fresh fruit substituted until
the orange season is over, when other
fruits, dried and fresh, will be used for
decorating, making it standing unique
advertisement of the resources of Paler-
mo.-Omaha Bee.

In Early Spring.

Bright da ss are with US, heightened and serene,
The clods grow mellow, and the forest hath
Its budding pleasures; yet of Winters scath
Some drear memorials here and there are seen,
For, though the wind no more breathes frosty
keen,
II often floats the old leaves in our path,
Or signs along some unreaped aftermath,
To mind us of the rigor that hash been.
o thou my JOY, Spring of my Wondrous Year!
Forgive, IL in thy presence aught of grief
Remain from that dead time ere thou waste
here.
Now, surely, such gainsaying shall be brief
For thou wilt set my feet where flower and leaf
And soft new sward blot out the stubble sere.

Students Credit ia Paris.

The Partisan tradespeople who have to
do with the students are not lenient.
The lower French classes, every one
knows. are grasping. In Paris they are
spurred on by what Alphonse Daudet
so graphically calls "la peur de ne pas
arriver"-the fear of not getting there. !"
In the Quarter student is allowed 100
francs credit; in other words, thirty dol
lars. If any expenditure is run up above
that limit, or rent permitted to stand
beyond that sum, the hussier appears
and the student is literally turned out
on the pavement. / have recently heard
of several cases where this limit had
been reached within franc or two, and
where the student, man or woman,
had been reduced to keeping the vital
spark alive by one or two cups of coffee
a day.
In one instance the person was New
England girl from small village, who,
entirely without talent, had come over,
as l have described, with about $500, out
of which, her passage being deducted,
she had been able to live, after fashion,
for time. The last cent was now gone;
she was friendless, without means to get
home, and probably too proud TO make
her restitution and failure known to her
family, against whose instincts of com
mon sense she had probably undertaken
this venture, lured by all manner of
wild and unfounded hopes. And this
case is really one of many Milwaukee

The Old Home of Jesse James.

The Libby Prison war museum is soon
to have an acquisition of curious char
acter. 1t is the identical frame house in
which Jesse James lived the last four
months of his life, and in which he was
killed by Bob Ford. Since 1882 this
house has stood unoccupied on bluff
back of st. Joseph, Mo. The bullethole
in the wall is still to be seen and the
blood stains on the floor have never been
effaced. The house was sold to the
agent of the Chicago museum for the
sum of 81 300, and it is to be taken down
in sections, removed hence and set up
again in the big building in Wabash
avenue.
An equally interesting relic would be,
we think, the old James house still stand
ing near Liberty, Clay county. And if
old Mother James is still living she
should be engaged to come along and
serve as guide" or illustrator. ;"
The old lady, when we last saw her,
nine years ago, was full of fight and en-
ergy, and it would be hard to find a

Supplying Moving Engines with Water.

Supplying Moving Engines with Water.
BY new invention which is being
tried on some of the southern railroads
it is thought possible that engines can
be supplied with water when necessary
without stopping. The system is ex-
planned as follows: There is to be q
tower over each well or stream that Is
to supply water, about forty feet high,
and from this tower is suspended by a
wire cable tank or bucket holding
about 900 gallons of water. The same
is raised by passing locomotives, and
the water discharged automatically into
n storage tank. The bucket that con-
veys the water to the storage tank, when
emptied, goes back automatically into
the well or stream of supply, and is filed
ready for the next locomotive. This
saves the expense of stationary engine
and fuel, with engine and such expense
as attends the present system, and gives
equal guarantee Of reliable supply
