CHICAGO, Feb. g2. - Every week day
morning in the year, be the weather fair
or foul. the air balmy or filed with re-
minders of the plains of Manitoba, neat
" dressed man with kindly but determined
features. silver white hair and beard and
n profile that now reminds you of Senator
Palmer and now again of Jefferson Davis
in his last years, may be seen, just after
the clock in the tall tower of the board of
trade near by has chimed the hour of 8,
to leisurely push open the doors of the
Rand-McNally building and stop before
the east end elevator The grand mogul
of the aerial conveyance unbends his dig
nifty long enough to touch his cap, and the
man with the kindly countenance gives
him nod and smile in return.
The car stops at the fourth floor, and the
gray bearded passenger, in two steps,
crosses the corridor and passes into an
office, through the open doors of which you
get a glimpse of iron gratings and big
safes and sometimes of high piles of silver
dollars and big rolls of paper currency. All
the money that is subscribed under the
local management for the purposes of the
Worlds fair has to pass through these
ratings to the other side; all the money
that is expended for the purpose of the
Worlds fair has to pass from the inside
to the outside. 1t is the office of that very
necessary adjunct of every enterprise, COM
mercial or patriotic, the treasurer.

NEW YORK, Feb % Well muffled up
against the biting winter winds, with an
old fur cap pulled down over his ears and a
quid of tobacco in his mouth, there marches
back and forth in front of a great deserted
building throughout the long hours of
the night an individual whose vigil is
perhaps the most curious ever imposed
upon any Waterman on land or sea. He
carries neither lantern nor club, and his
frequent observations of the heavens, to-
gether with his total indifference to his i'm
mediate surroundings, show conclusively
that he apprehends danger only from
above. He is engaged in a sleepless and
careful watch of nothing under the heav-
ems, but of the heavens themselves.

pAULowNIA.
A Tree of Peculiar appearance
Proved TO ne Hardy IN 'hIs

Country.
From. Meehan's Monthly for December.
This tree is frequently supposed to
be tender--that is to say, That it will
! not endure n temperature much be.
low % or 80 degrees below the treez-
ing point. This ia true while the
plants are young. For the first two
or three years they are very apt TO be
cut to the ground by a eevere frost;
but they Away sprout up again and
achieve increased hardness with age;
in fact. after q plant is 8 or 4 years old
iU will probably endure the eeverest
winter climates of the North west. 1t
can not be said 10 be, on the whole, 3
beau iful tree; the large, coarse leaves
resemble those of luXuriaut specimens
of a pumpkin or squash-eXtremely
coarse aud harsh, and devoid of beau
~. The large blue, trumpet.sheped
flowers, which appear In summer,
give it, however, an interest at that
season which few other trees possess;
and, aside from this, they possess
delicious fragrance, which is thrown
into the atmosphere for considerable
distances around. The trees are much
valued on this sccOuat. And, again,
it is valued for its rapid growth ew
trees will increase in girth so fast as a
PauIownia. In J,psu the timer is
very. highly valued, especially for
furniture; ard itrS more than likely
that in the future. rhis tree will take q
prominent place in suoresstul forestry
culture in the United States. 1t was
named PAulownia, after one of the
expresses OF Russia; and for this rea-
son it has been called the Empress
tree, slthough. 70 our mind, IL is very
little more difficult to use the scten-
tific than the poplar name. A very
fine specimen exists on the grounds
grounds of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college, az Manhattan; hus we
have no record ri the size of this tree.

THE republican administration that
retlres from power on the fourth OF
March, so full of honOrs and accom-
plished results that bear on the
wellbeing of the republic, has been
one OF the most unfortunate PERSONAL
ly in the history OF the nation.
During the four years Of lfs existence
the President has lost his beloved
wife and tather-in-aw; Secretary
Window, of the treasury, died sud.
denly in his chair at DelmOnicO's;
the Secretary OF State, Blaine, lost
thres of his children by death,
suffered 10 tense modification on ac-
count of the divorce OF another aud is
now himself at the point of death;
Secretary of the Navy, Tracy, lost
his wife and daughter by a most dis
tlessing accident. 1t is most de
voutly to he hoped that the death Of
Mr., Blaine IL not to be added to this
list of fatalities before the retirement
of the present administration from
power. Most devoutly, also, is it 70
be hoped that the incoming admins.
ira ton will be tree from the sad and
sudden bereavements that have fallen
OF the present one. Death in any form
is sufficiently sad, but death In the
house of office seems d0u0ly so, where
the cares Of office so intrude that
there seems little opportunity tor
those absorbing offices of affection
that are necessity in the last hours
OF the lives of our beloved CUES.

The winter Rnsset Shoe.

From the Boston Transcript
The russell shoe has invaded De.
Gem Der, and is no longer the sole
property Of the summer youth. Many
a weli-heeled citizen wears 10 now
who three short seasons ago would
have scOrned the idea that one Of his
age aud understanding could ever ap
pear at Christmas with the foorgear
formerly associated with beach
sands and August mOOniights and
mondays But even citizens
like these are making footprints
on the sands of time vita
the stout winter russell. OF conrse,
those who are learned in the diff5ren-
tIations OF the yellow shoe masculine
comprehend that russell is not the
name to apply to that perfect flower
upon the feet of our civilization, the
fashionable and expensive pigSskin
snOe, which is about the color of the
cup Of over creamed chocolate that is
offered it's true wesrer,. the chappie,
when he appears late at IN afternoon
tea. THIS pig-skin shoe has q great
free sole with inauiriug edges, and
marks its owner as person not only
willing but able to go about with
shoes the color of n poets ecru blot
ting pad, for they come high.
There is a shoe midway between
this creation and the humble russell
of the masses which marks the man
who combines both style and discre-
ton, who is progressive in his ashton,
yet conservative in his taste. This
shoe looks worthy TO brave the storms
of winter; 1t Is neither TOO light nor
too dark, too dear nor too cheap. and
although those who wear it say that
it is hard to find, it certainly speaks
with no uncertain tongue of a change
in The tone of winter toes demands.

CLEVELAND, ONO, sets good eX-
ample in doing away with school
examinations, thus avoiding the ner-
vous strain on the sensitive pupil, and
substitutes IN its place the regular
reports of progress made by the
teacher as the basis for grade pro-
motions. The new departure has
everything to commend it, not the
least of the reasons in it's favor being
the more accurate knowledge of the &C
tual class standing of the pupil, a
something by no means certain under
the system of competitive examina-
tions. The adoption of this method
everywhere would be advantageous.

THE BUSINESS WORLD.

Though this is generally agreed up
on as the dullest portion of the year,
trade has generally improved during
the past week, and all branches of
business are generally enlarging. Speak
ing of the situation, r. 6. Dun y Co,
says: "OrderS for manufactured bro
ducts are likely to be larger in the
next FIVE months than ever before.
Eastern consumption is also up to the
maximum, as labor is well employed. {"
The exports of merchandise con-
tinue to exceed those of last year,
while imports increase but Slightly.
Money still continues to accumulate
in financial centers, and New York
banks hold some $780, OO,O 900 of depos.
its The general complaint seems to
be that there is more money than
business.
The South still suffers from it's large
crop of cotton and the speculation
that has been INDUCED in ON the
same. Wheat has ruled somewhat
weaker than usual, though it
strengthened during the latter part
OF the week, because of bad news
from France and Kansas in regard to
the coming crop. Corn is firmer, be-
cause of the growing export trade,
the European demand for it being
greater than ever before. Trade in
the various manufactures has been
reasonably good.
The railways have plenty of bust
ness and are in prosperous condi-
tlon. 1t is estimated that they will
have 100000 tons of corn to haul
which will pay them over SAC, 900, 900.
Other freighting will also be heavy
this year, and the future has a pros
porous outlook for them.

HE HAS WON THEIR FAVOR.

When the Irish party in the Eng
lish Parliament split more than a year
ago over Parnell, it looked for time
as though the success of the Liberal
party was a thing that would never
be accomplished during Mr.. Glad
stones life time. Never had the
chances for the success of that party
locked brighter than upon the eve of
the overthrow of Parnell as the lead
er of the Irish forces.
But Mr.. Gladstone is a shrewd and
skillful leader, and has brought his
party through those dark days unim-
paired, and it now stands before the
English people stronger then ever.
From the first he refused to be mixed
up in any of their factional quarrels.
At his time in life he could not afford
to trife away time in that way. His
one ambition has been to putin force
the reforms he had IN hand.
And now it looks as though victory
"Oulo SOllC w LhO p1OSOhO
Parliament is drawing to a close by
the lapse of time, but the indications
are that the force of public opinion
would cause it to dissolve were such
not the case, and the coming summer
will undoubtedly witness hotly con-
ktested campaign,throughout England.
The results of the recent bye cleo
tions show that public opinion is
rapidly crystalizing around Gladstone
and his measures, and some notable
victories have been won,
If Mr.. Gladstone lives to lead his
party to success, and secures the
adoption of his Home Rule measure,
he will secure his success outside of
and independent of Ireland's help,
unless the factions there close ranks
at once and make a final struggle for
the liberty they desire, but it is
doubtful if there is among them one
who can inspire that degree of con-
fidence necessary for successful
leader, and whatever honor accrues
from the ultimate adoption of such a
measure will belong to Mr.. Gladstone
alone.
