Where Thackeray Lived.

1t was at Willis rooms, the old AL
mack's, in King street, Pail Mall, that
Thackeray delivered, in 1851, his lee
lures on the English Humorists." In
the vicinity of Brompton and Kensing-
ton his life as successful author was
mostly passed. Becky Sharp, on her
marriage, retired to snug little Bromp-
ton lodgings, and in a cottage in a street
leading from the Fulham road. with the
romantic title of St. Adelaide villas,
Anna Maria road west, old Mr.. Sedley
hid his head with his wife and daughter
when the crash came.
There is a touch of Dickens in Thack-
eray's description of this neighborhood,
where the houses look like baby houses;
where the people looking out of the first
floor windows must infallibly, as you
think, sit with their feet in the parlors;
where the shrubs in the little gardens in
front bloom with perennial display of
children's pinafores, little red socks and
caps, and where little porter pots hang
on the railing summing themselves. =

Witnesses Feared by Lawyers.

The best witnesses are nervous ones,
who are afraid that they will never be
able to speak so as to be heard in court.
And the worst ones to tackle are those
who are telling the truth. Ii a witness
has truth on her side she may be ever so
timid, but she will tell a straight story,
and the most astute lawyer in the world
can neither shake nor break her word.
If witness is telling lie a clever law
yer will make her tell another and an
other and another, until she has woven
such a network of lies around herself
that it is comparatively easy to break
up one of them, and so the whole struc-
ture falls through.
1t is easy to win a case for a woman.
The natural chivalry of American men
makes them in sympathy with woman
when they would feel none at all for a
man. Any able lawyer will tell you that
he finds it easier to carry through one
weak case for woman than half dozen
strong ones for man.-Abe Hummel In

A Delicate Compliment.

When General Grant visited Japan
he was received with great hospitality,
and every honor possible was shown
him. The Japanese hardly knew what
to make of the somewhat grave and Sc
rious demeanor of the American, but by
an act of graceful consideration he won
their admiration and remembrance.
AS he journeyed toward the interior
of the country, he came to a deep ra-
vine spanned by two bridges. One of
these WAS known as the ''sacred bridge"
never been crossed but once. 1t had
been formally opened by a prince who
died shortly after the ceremony. The
bridge was called by his name, and was
not used afterward.
Wishing to do honor to General Grant,
the authorities commanded that this
bridge be thrown open for him to cross
upon. His courier was told it's history,
which he in turn told to General Grant.
AS the party neared the two bridges,
the general gave directions that his cor
tege should cross over the bridge COM
monty in use, and removing his hat he
approached the sacred bridge, bowed to
the official in charge, and turning re-
Joined his companions and crossed over
the other bridge.
This act was received with murmur
of applause. Its delicate considera. ion
was highly appreciated by a people with
whom courtesy is a fine art.-YOuth's

A RAT RAILROAD.
American Notes and Gu

The Amusing Performance Given by
 Trained Rodents.
 There was recently in Paris a Rus sian, by name Dourof, who is supposed to know more about the nature of rats than any other man living. He has made business of training them to do queer things, and at the same time has carefully studied their habits and ways.
 A reporter who visited him and his two hundred and thirty free and ordi- narily uncaged rats found him in the act of exhibiting his ''rat railroad" It consisted of 8 narrow track laid in a circle, upon which were three pas senger cars large enough to hold five or six rats apiece, a baggage-car and a pretty little locomotive.
 Close to the track was small painted wooden house, which served as a sta tion. There were switches and. other railroad paraphernalia.
 Presently a cage was brought in, which contained considerable number of rats. Dourof clapped his hands to- gether three times, and all the rats came tumbling out of the cage and swarming into and about the little sta- tioI1.
 He clapped his hands again and half dozen black and sleek rats-very re- spectacle, corpulent fellows-climbed into the first car, which was a first class coach. :"
 Once more Dourof clapped, and half a-dozen black and white rats, quite req ularly marked, got into the second-class car, while an indiscriminately marked and rather disreputa able-looking com pany scrambled into the last car, which was third-class.
 A black rat, who did duty as the sta tlon-master, promenaded up and down on the platform of the little house, while two or three small white rats dragged some little trunks into the baggage car. These were the tebaggage- smashers."
 A whistle was heard; the engineer-rat climbed upon the locomotive, and a switchman rushed to the switch. Again the whistle sounded, and the train moved off around the track.
 The training of the rats to the per formance of this feat was, M. Dourof declared, extremely easy except in the case of the sbaggage-men, whose educa- tion had cost him great deal of trouble. Each party of sspassenRers'' had been placed-one party at a time at their breakfast hour opposite the car to which they belonged, in which some pieces of soaked bread had already been placed. At his signal they had been liberated, and had quickly found the bread.
 Little by little they had been trained in this way to enter the proper car. The locomotive was operated ". Eh cloclk-worlk and the rnts had nothing @ do with it Youth c1inp6nion.

the hull and directly in the center is the coming tower, fifteen inches high and fitted with lights for observa- tion. The tower has 8 watertight cover, through which entrance to the boat is obtained. In the rear of the coming tower is the movable smoke stack of telescopic structure, so arranged as to be completely covered when the boat is under water. About the same distance forward of the center is a movable air pipe, through which the air is drawn down by means of a power full electric fan. The smokestaclx, con- ming tower and airpipe are surrounded by light and strong iron railing placed several inches above the. twelve-foot water line at which the boat ordinarily floats.
 The deck is three feet from the bot tom, and the space beneath is divided into bulkheads, filled with pig iron for ballast and compartments in which water ballast may be used, the water being let in from the bottom. By this means, when the wheels are started to submerge the boat, the ballast may be adjusted to keep it at any desired level. On the deck are arranged the boiler, motor and batteries. The boiler, lo- cated in the rear, is of 15O-horse power,

Young William H. Dead of Typhoid Fever.
 A Popular Youth.
 NEW YORK, May 24.-William H. Van derbilt, eldest son of Cornelius Wander bilt, who has been suffering for some days past of typhoid fever, died last night at 10:15 o'clock. He was 21 years old. He was taken i'll on May at New Haven, at that time very seriously. As there was no typhoid fever in New Haven at the time, it is supposed he contracted the disease while on 8 trip through the Western States during the Easter holi- days.
 The dead man inherited by the will of his grandfather, William H. Wander bilt, $1 ,000, 0O0. the income of which was to be converted to his use when he attained his majority, and the principal to be placed to his credit when he be- came 30 years old.
 Chauncey M. Depew said to-day that the young man had never in his life caused his father or mother any anxiety. His management of his allowance was so good and clever that his father would have increased it any time time had he asked it. Deceased was one of the most popular men in the junior class at Yale College,

oil being used for fuel. The engine is a common marine engine of sixty-horse power. The Jenny motor is located di- rectly under the coming tower, and is capable of being used as dynamo to supply the Woodward storage batteries. These are of 234 cells, divided into hour series, and capable of giving force of ffty-horse power for four hours. The steam power is used for navigation on the surface and to run the dynamo by which the cells are charged. Tn sub marine navigation, of course, a water proof boat is required, and electricity is then brought into use. The boat is SUD- piled with incandescent lamps, and even the surrounding water can be illumi- mated by means of powerful search light.
 Although the general shape of the boat is MT. Bakers own idea, the uniqueness of the concern lies in the propellers and the propeller shafts. The propellers, which are on the center of the sides of the boats, are on a cross- shaft and connected with mitre gears, the whole working in a movable sleeve controlled by worm gear from the in- side, and enabling the pilot to defect the propeller wheels at will. The gen. eral construction of the propellers in MT. Bakers invention is as seen in the illustration. Each propeller consists of broad blade. to which is attached an ordinarily formed wheel. If the blade is horizontal the revolving wheels send the boat forward or astern. As the blade is elevated or depressed the motion of the wheels carries the boat down or up at an angle corresponding to the angle of the blade. At the same time the peculiar construction of the

THE BOAT AT TwELvE-FooT WATER LINE

THE BOAT AT TwELvE-FooT WATER LINE. boats hull keeps it perfectly horizon tai, preventing it's nose from running into the bottom as the boat approaches the bed of the lake or river in descend ing.
 It is in defense of such harbors as San Francisco, San Diego, Puget sound, New Orleans, New York and Boston that such craft would be especially serviceable. A fort on shore is at a great disadvantage in repelling the ad- vances of a warship. A torpedo boat which navigates on the surface, is more effective, but even it makes conspicu- ous mark for balls from the warship. The submarine boat is different. Sup pose, for instance, a cruiser is anchored out in the bay, the submarine vessel, with it's load of destruction and it's crew of three or four destroyers, can quietly and unobservedly slip away from shore. Hardly a ripple marks the course of the fish-lilze craft as it moves stealthily upon the enemy. The pilot fixes his eye upon the advantageous position and steers the craft for it. It is reached. all is made ready and the shot is fired. It does it's work. and the men of the war vessel never know whence came the death-dealing cartridge.

A Riot Feared in New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, May 24.-A street car is curiosity here. What few get out of the barns are bounced upon by strikers and not permitted to run. A number of small disturbances occurred in various parts of the city yesterday, but none re- suited seriously. President Hall of the Car-drlvers' Association was arrested with other officers. for melting to a breach of the peace. The city govern ment is clearly not in sympathy with the strikers. The Mayor issued procla- nation last evening calling upon citizens to assemble at street car stations and along the various lines at noon to-day to see that the non-u union drivers are protected. It is feared that this will provoke riot of serious proportions.

In twenty minutes after his ar- rival he was the centre of . group of re. Porters, whom he greeted pleasantly. When asked the object of his visit, he ! said: "I will be perfectly frank with Wou, boys. l intend to treat you fairly. iGs have found the newspaper men al-

 The apparent readiness of his invita- tlon to the newspaper fraternity was taken as an evidence of his williness and anxiety to show the public that he was again well man and able to bear tha burdens of Presidential honors. When it became generally known that he had granted an audience to the press, every one accepted it as an omen of accordance on his part. Consequently, much jubil- ation prevailed among the Republican politicians who were about the hotel
 WASHINGTON, May 24.-Se,retarv Blaine's trip to Now York has no politi- cal influence. The statement that he goes over to see his granddaughter only partly explains the reason for his four ney.

He expects to be absent for B couple of days only.
 In speaking of the matter the Secre- tary said: '1 never knew until was 60 years old that had such an organ as the eye, judging from any unusual feel ing there. But latterly my eyes have been troubling me, and feel constrained to take advice as to their treatment"
 While no direct, authoritative state ment has been made by the Secretary. himself, it may be said, upon the au- thority of close friend of MT. Blaine. that he stands by the statement con tained in his letter to Chairman Clark son of last February. He does not desire to have his name presented to the Min neapolis convention, for the nomination and, within day or two past, has em- phatically stated that he would not be nominated,
