How lie Judged.

A country innkeeper one day in the
last century startled casual guest, who
happened to be gentleman attached to
the royal court, by confident predic-
ton regarding the archbishop of Tou-
louise, who had just been appointed to
one of the great offices of state.
The gentleman, looking over his mail,
exclaimed: "There are great changes in
the government The archbishop of
Toulouse has been chosen minister"
"Alas for France, if that be truer'
cried the innkeeper.
"Why so?"
HE will turn the kingdom upside
down. He will make no end of trouble, "
returned the landlord, with an ominous
shake of the head.
This was quite possible, and some
thing like it did really happen, but only
persons who knew the inner workings
of political affairs could have predicted
it so positively then, and NJ de La Houss
wondered what was the source of the
innkeeper's information. With judicious
urging he induced that sage to give his
basis for calculations. 1t was this:
"You will learn, M. de La Houss, that
| know whereof l speak. The arch
bishop of Toulouse always stops here on
his way to Paris, and also on his return.
He never fails to turn everything upside
down.
"He has that bed carried into another

AS sit in front of my fire, in the red
flames numberless pictures appear and
disappear. Now | see wide plain,
sky in the west is aflame with Colds and
reds Of the setting sun, fading and deep
ening like living things. Beyond the
plain in forest two figures stand apart
One is clothed in garment black as the
impenetrable night, and from the dark
veil which covers her head looks a face
beautiful as a marble image The large,
soft eyes are heavy with sorrow. but the
beautiful mouth is set in an expression
of firm and cruel command. One white
hand holds back the veil, and the lines
of that hand against the somber back
ground bespeak strength that makes
one tremble. A diadem of jewels rests
on her broad brow and CLEANS and
sparkles with the colors of the sky.
Her eyes search the forest increasingly.
Poised on one foot the other figure,
smaller and delicate as u rose leaf, seems
about to float in the air. A white veil,
which glows and burns like an opal, is
thrown around her. Roses are in her
hair and drop their fragrant petals at
her feet. Her shining eyes are as cold
and as blue as a northern sky, and her
hair is like strands of twisted gold. Her
full red lips curve in an alluring smile,
and her small hands and delicately
rounded arms, rosy in the sun rays,
move in graceful rhythm, which is
music unheard, She, too, looks toward
the forest.
At last a maiden creeps trembling
from the shadow of the trees; she turns
her head from side to side like a hunted
hare. Both figures advance to meet
her. She gazes timidly from one to the
other-a dull blot as she stands between
them. One whispers duty and the other
pleasure. The fire is burning low; the
picture is fading. Chapman in

ordinary action of his brain is inhibited

cause is emotion. The extreme BASH
fulness of many men when they are in
love is proverbial. and the surprisingly
few married men who suffer from bash
fitness is noteworthy.
These causes are, however, usually in
sufficient to produce bashfulness, but
there must be some further necessary
condition. Many conditions predispose
to it--e. g., highly nervous tempera-
ment, deficient moral courage, with
which is associated lack Of self assertion.
These may be regarded as constitutional
causes.
Another predisposing cause is defect

OUTER END OF CANTILEvER.

Cleveland ranks second, her receipts
exceeding 100000 tons, while Fairport
is third, with 100000 or more. Buff
falo, Lorain and few other points re-
ceive small amounts. The ore comes
principally from Escanaba, Mich, on
Lake Michigan Green Bay; Marquette,
Mich; Ashland, Wis, and Two Harbors,
Mimi, on Lake Superior. The river
frontage of the docks here is longer than
ut any other Lake Erie point, but they
are not so deep, and have not as great a
proportionate storage capacity as at
Ashtabula and Fairport, where land
near the river is much less valuable and
more easily obtained.

Taking Dickens Down.

III am a great admirer Of the works Of
Charles Dickens, but | had very poor
opinion of the man." said l.. g. Court
ney, now stopping at the Laclede.
Dickens was crank of very often
sive class. Many peculiarities may
properly be excused in man of genius,
but boundless egotism and bad taste are
not of the number. When the author of
the 'Pickwick Papers visited America
he succeeded, by his boorish manners,
in discriminating thousands of his wor-
slippers on this side of the Atlantic. He
dressed loud and his manners were
even more stunning than his dress. He
was great pedestrian, and took long
tramps every morning. When he was
in Washington met him one morning
on the steps of the Capitol. With me
was a young congressman from Tennes-
see, whom the great novelist had
offended by his boorishness.
THAT morning Dickens was in great
good humor and full of talk. i have,
said he, found an almost exact counter
part Of Little Nell Little Nell whoY
queried the Tennesseean. Dickens looked
him over from head to foot and from
foot to head before he snorted out, My
Little Nell oh, said the Tennesseean,
Il didn't know you had your daughter

Nell of my fiction, SIR retorted Dick

able Tennesseean, you write novels, do

Bashruiness and Its Causes.

The first chief cause Of bashfulness
consists in a mans attention being di-
rected to himself. The man who is
quite at ease in his office-bashfulness
is most often an attribute of the male
sex-becomes self conscious in the draw
ing room and very shy Although ca
pable of joining in the conversation, his
witty remark is forestalled because he
is too slow in giving utterance to it or
too timid to hear his own voice. The

Is heaped hills OF hne ieu t.Lu brown
hematite, like 80 much ocherous gravel,
or the coarser Jumps of sparkling gray
magnetic ore, varying widely in quality
Ind price.
The casual observer as he walks
along can distinguish but four or five,
br at most half dozen, grades OF ore.
but experts know that these immense
conical piles are strictly classified, and
that upward of eighty different grades
have their place in the market lists.
But how much is 100000 tons of ore!
! loaded on fat cars thirty five feet long
ind carrying fifteen tons each it would
make q train 7C0 miles long, or more
than five times the distance from Cleve-
land to Pittsburgh Yet this is but about
one-third the iron ore laid down at Lake
Erie ports every summer. The total
would more than fill two trains of such
fiat cars extending from Chicago to
New York city!
Besides this great ore traffic, which
annually amounts to SEQ, 900, 900 or more
in value, there is shipped from the ports
of Lake. Erie an immense amount Of
coal, both anthracite and bituminous,
to Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth and
smaller points, where it is stored for
shipment farther west during the winter
months. This requires very different
set of docks, and in extent they exceed
the ore docks. Cleveland leads in the
amount of bituminous coal shipped,
handling over 100000 tons annually.
The coal docks are over two miles in
length, but narrow, and the coal is usu-
ally loaded directly from the cars by
means of derricks that handle great
buckets holding half a ton or more. The
work is slower than that of loading ore
or unloading it, but a new device has
just been erected here that promises to
make it easy to dump whole carload
into vessel at once, and if it succeeds
the work will be greatly expedited.
Without this the Cleveland docks can
handle 900 ordinary carloads of coal a
day, and the total shipments from the
port each year reaches 10000 carloads.
or enough to make train over $50 miles
long! Nothing could better illustrate
the magnitude Of these great interests
than that stupendous fact.
When, in addition to what goes from
Cleveland, the large shipments from
Toledo, Sandusky, AshtGbula, Erie and
Buffalo are considered the aggregate
reaches an amount as amazing as that
Of the ore traffic.
Both ore and coal docks gather an
Hadded interest when one thinks of their
varied and close relations to the com.
fort and industry of the central west
and great northwest, and what appears
at first as only strange and unusual be-
comes richly suggestive OF the great age
of steel in which we live, of the wonder
full development Of the lake region and
especially the northwest, and of the
amazing increase IN recent years in
transportation facilities and their even
more amazing cheapness.
SAMUEL e.. MCCLURE.
Arizona republican., 1892-11-15


day viii such mountains of rich ore be
found heaped ready for the transform
ing fire of the furnaces as at Cleveland,
Ashtabula, Fairport and Buffalo and at
South Chicago, on Lake Michigan.
The ore being less bulky than coal
can be carried farther than the coal in
the journey toward each other, SO that
but little ore is reduced in the upper
peninsula of Michigan. Much of it
meets the goal at Chicago and Cleve-
land, but the greater part is carried to
the Mahoning valley and western Penn
sylvania furnaces. AS the lakes are
open for navigation but seven months
IN the year, it is necessary to find a
storage place for the ore required to
supply the furnaces during the winter
months. Accordingly at Cleveland, Ash
tabula and Fairport miles of docks have
been built, lining the narrow rivers that
put into the lake at these points, and
here during the summer is unloaded
hundreds of thousands of tons of iron
ore and gradually forwarded to the fur
naces by rail.
1t is almost impossible to appreciate
the magnitude Of this great traffic with
out walk along the docks between great
ranges of iron ore hills twenty, thirty and
forty feet in height, only few railroad
tracks separating them like narrow vel
leys, and overhead great steel frame
work of ore hosting machines. The ra,
tie of the steel buckets as they are raised
from the holds of great black hulled
vessels by the docks and go creaking ON
the cantileyers back to whatever point
the engineer has elected to dump them
startles one, and the stranger lodges in.
voluntarily as they rush backward and
forward over his head.
Half hidden behind the ranges of red
brown or sparkling gray ore, the colors
varying with the qualities, is the pony
engine operating each set Of hosting
machines. putting and kissing away
addinga familiar element to the strange
scene Now train of fiat cars comes
creeping along, drawn by a snorting
switch engine. In each car are dozen
fills Of those great ton buckets, looking
like such light load as compared with
the heaping coal cars, so usual in other
places, yet testing the strength of the
gondolas quite as fully. A red dust
rises and falls and the laborers are Gov
cred with it, Their clothes are ocher.
Gus red. boots the color of the tanbark
piles they knew as leather, and sweat
burrows are down their dusty faces and
through the rust tinged boards.
The unloading of vessel at one Of
these docks is rapid work. All the lake
ere carriers have six and many of them
eight matches, and when they come to
the dock hosting machine is put to
work in each. The great buckets are
filled below, while the others are drawn
up and emptied, sometimes being car
ried back on the overhead railway of the
cantileyers 300 feet or more. Thus it is
possible to take 1000 tons-enough to
load $50 ordinary fiat cars-from YES
sci in six or eight hours.
At present the activity on the ore
docks, whether at Cleveland, Fairport or
Ashtabula, Is almost at its height. The
latter point being nearer many furnaces
and having straight river channel re-
ceives the most ore Of any port on Lake
Erie. usually running 100000 tons or
more Annually.

The question of the Bailey's Island
bridge seems at last to have been settled
finally against the Bailey Islanders. The
proceedings originated several years ago
in petition of William HI. Sinnett and
others to the selectmen of the town of
Harpswell for the location of way and
construction of bridge between Orr's
Island and Bailey's Island. Bailey's ISL
and lies at the southern extremity of
Orr's Island, and extends aoout two
miles and half in nearly southerly di-
rection. The distance between the two
islands is about 1900 feet. A large por-
ton of the way is over reefs, through
which there are several channels, the
largest being about thirty feet in width
and having an average depth of about
four feet at low water.
In August, 1890, the selectmen of the
town heard the petitioners and remon-
strants, and refused to lay out the way
and construct the bridge as prayed for.
The petitioners, feeling aggrieved, took
an appeal to the board of county COM
missioners. In July, 1891, the county
commissioners, after a full hearing upon
the facts, adjudged that common con-
venience and public necessity did not re-
quire the location of the way and bridge.
The petitioners then appealed from the
decision of the county commissioners to
the Supreme Court, and, at the January
term, 1892, the court appointed Hon.
John A. Waterman of Gorham, Hon.
William Rogers of Bath and Stephen w.
Carr, ESQ.,, of Bowdoinham, commit
tee to hear the parties and report to the
court at the following April term, OF at
the October term, whether, IN their judg-
ment, the decision of the county COM
missioners should be in whole or in part
affirmed or reversed.
Yesterday the report of the committee
was accepted in the Supreme Court. 1t
sustains the county commissioners, and
denies the location of the bridge.
