The recent war talk tested the patri
otisin of the members of the National
Guard in this city with fiattering results
Several of the retired veterans of the
Seventh regiment. for instance, hastened
to get themselves enrolled ON the active
list in order that they might be ready to
go to the front with the old regiment if
the occasion should require. In few
instances new uniforms were ordered by
veterans who had outgrown their old
ones
Another thing that the war talk did
was to bring out in full force the EEK
ira howlers These noisy tricksters
permeated the entire city for several
days They stirred up the down town
business sections at noon and startled
the people in the residence streets in the
evenings On two or three occasions
the papers they sold actually contained
some news about the CHILEAN situation
but in the majority of cases there was
nothing to Justify the narrowing cry of
'Extralr and not infrequently the buyer
of an extra" would find himself in pos
session OF newspaper one day old for
which ne paid five times the regular
price Two enterprising shouters went
through several usually quiet streets on
the west side above Fiftieth street one
evening and worked off few hundred
copies Of cheap illustrated paper nearly
a month old They had probably bought
the lot at SO much per pound and they
sold the papers at five cents copy

Sc. a Horse's Broken RIB.

Four or five months ago one of the
hostlers employed at the stable OF
Charles D. Nichols Of Pawtucket, no
ticed that one of the handsome pair Of
cream geldings acted little lame. A
superficial examination Of the shoulder
resulted in not finding any cause fol-

A Persistent Dog Besgar.

One Of the most persistent beggars in
Portland, Me-, is collie dog which is
very fond of doughnuts The collie, in
company with his mistress, visited a
bakery one day last fall, and perceiving
some doughnuts in showcase he sat
down and pleaded, by means of short,
sharp barks, for treat. The clerk gen.
erously fed the smart dog, but he wishes
that he hadn't. for every day since the
collie has appeared to beg for more
doughnuts Ii the shop door is closed
he will wait outside until some one
opens it, and then dodge in to get his
regular free lunch. Letter.

An Opal Ring and Some Royal Deaths.
FOREIGN nanAra tell a story of an Onal

An Opal Ring and Some Royal Deaths.
Foreign papers tell q story Of an opal
ring belonging to the late King AL
phonso XII Of Spain. which will be
treasured by those who believe in the
superstition regarding the evil effects of
that stone On his wedding day the
king presented beautiful ring to his
Queen Mercedes. daughter of the Duke
Of Montpensier The queen wore the
ornament till her death, which occurred
soon afterward Before the burial his
majesty took the ring from his wife's
finger and placed it upon that of his Sis
tor. the lnfanta Maria del Pillar. The
young princess only lived few days
after receiving the ring
A third time the king took possession
Of the ring. and presented it to his sis
ter-in-law, Princess Christina, the
youngest daughter Of the Duke Of Mont
pensier Three months later the prin-
cess died. The king. surprised at the
history Of the ring, decided to wear it
himself. But he did not wear it long,
as death soon claimed him also. The
queen regent. after the burial Of her
husband. attached the ring to q golden
chain and placed it upon the neck Of the
Virgin Of Almudena, the matron saint Of
Madrid. Superstitious Spaniards fool
ishly attribute the various deaths to the
ring. as . matter Of course.

@. g. Kicker, chief clerk OF tho St.
Louis subtreasury; B. Q. Farrar, the re-
ceiving teller, and e. NJ Miller. tho
Waterman Of the vault, were standing
In group just inside the ponderous
doors and beside several immense rows
Of silver dollars which were piled to the
ceiling Of the vaults in canvas bags. each
containing 81 900 and weighing about
sixty pounds.
Suddenly Mr.. Kicker noticed slight
bullying movement Of the center Of the
outside row Of heavy sacks, and realiz-
ing in second what was about to oc-
cur, he sprang to the opposite side of the
vault, at the same time showing his COM
panions away from the falling mass of
silver. Mr.. Farrar fell in one corner
out of harms way, while Mr.. Miller was
fortunate enough to lodge in the passage
room between the smaller vaults, which
is at the farther end Of the silver room
Mr.. Ricker's action was none too early,
for in the twinkling Of an eye nearly
10000 pounds of silver were piled four
feet deep on the spot where they had
been standing.
AS it was. several of the bags struck
him on the legs and bruised his feet.
The truck used to wheel the heavy sacks
about, which was standing in the mid
die of the vault, was smashed. Nearly
$1.00O,0O0 were scattered promiscously
around the steel room. and it was by the
merest chance that none of the men
was killed In consequence of the ac-
cident u large amount of the silver coin
will be moved to the upper vaults

a bit of meat cast on the lake in one
OF the parks of Allegheny City recently
gave forcible illustration of the re-
nowned pugilistic qualities of the genus
Anser. The scrap was tossed to an
old gray gander, sailing and dipping ma
5estically backand forth, with his hayem
ut safe and respectful distance behind
him Just as he made graceful dive

and vcnturcsome turn of mind, made for

The dog friskily brought up at the
waters edge and reached out paw.
The coveted morsel was midway be-
tween him and the gender. Quick as
thought the gander slapped the wnter
with his wings, beating the scrap be-
low the surface and diving after it.
Somehow he miscalculated, nnd when
he came up the morscl was dancing o
few feet away. The dog, says the
Pittsburgh Times, was softly dimpling
the water with his paw. at every wave
the scrap came nearer 30 him. The

to mind her own business Just as the
dog reached out for the meat tho gan
der gave lunge also. Bill and paw
both missed it 1T disappeared, only to
rise tantalizingly few feet away.
The dog was no longer hilarious.
This was too serious business. and he
ran up and down the shore, bark angri-
ly, while the gander retired to wreax
vengeance on his hapless harem A
moment later, seeing the scrap almost
ashore on the waves of the conflict, hs
made sudden dash. So did the dog,
They met, and for q few seconds gray
wings, dog hair and wild screams

the dog trotted slowly away with q

toward the theological seminary, while

tory from his brow, carried the scrap,
for which he seemed to have lost his
appetite, to his proud family.

The "Great Lady" In America,

A recent writer in the Nineteenth
Century, in study of New York So
ciety, puts forward the lady's maid as
an important factor In the process of
evolution which the society class has
undergone during the hast twenty years.
The lady's maid is now as common in
New York as in London, and her vast
increase in this city may be regarded
as significant OF the change in tho
woman she serves She has, in fact,
developed from the woman of wealth
and leisure, but still of simple habits,

THE FIRST CABLE.

Ii Was Simply n Naked Corc with NosPpoA-
tecting Sheath.
In modern cables the core Is always
protected first by q serving of hemp or
Jutc and then by IN outer sheath Of soft
steel wires, which are relied on to fur
nish the mechanical strength which the
cable must have IN order that it NAV
stand the pulling about which it re-
ceives in laying and repairing. But
In tho pioneer trial there was no idea
of protecting sheath; the naked core
was to be Laid In the channel to form
the first telegraph between England
and France. There was but q single
wire of copper inside, according to the
Saturday Review nowadays there is al
together), and this was covered with
gutta percha so thicasly as to bring the
diameter to half ON inch The covered
wire was wound on q great reel on the
deck of steam tug in Dover harbor,
and after number OF preliminary tripa
the line was laid on the esd of August,
1850 Lead sinkers were attached at
every hundred yards to carry the cable
to the bottom, for in tho absence of any
heavy sheathing It's specific gravity
scarcely exceeded that of sea water.
The attempt was at once made to open
communication, but though signals
seemed to pass nothing could be made
of them, and Mr.. Smith records that
the operators at each end were regret
fully forced to the conclusion that those
Mt the other end had been lunchine. not
wisely, but too well Next day matters
were worse, no signals could pass at
NIL The cable was broken, and so end
ed this first attempt at submarine tel
egrnphy.
The signals of the first day had been
nnintelligible, not because of any breach
of continuity On thepart Of the cable or
failure in temperance on the part of its
guardians, but simply in consequence of
electrostatic induction, the influence of
which in retartling the electric pulses
was not then understood 1t was to
overcome the difficulty caused by in
duction that Sir William Thomson,
eight years later, invented his mirror
ga1vanometer. thereby making it prac-
ticable to speak at reasonable paoe
even through linesas long as'those that
cross the Atlantic.
