English sailors Don't Want Tins.

Late Saturday afternoon a group Of
sailors from the Magicienne and Tartar
stood on Riverside drive talking to an
old man with high hat and gold eye
glasses. The old man had stopped them
and was asking them to explain several
matters about their respective ships.
They conversed for about 10 minutes,
Then the old man put his hand in his
pocket and drew out some 81 bills. He
offered bill to each man. The sailors
drew back affronted They refused to
accept them.
Finally one Of them, who acted as
spokesman, said, touching his cap:
"Much obliged, sir. but we don't take
money-we earn all we want. But" he
added in propitiatory tone, 'if you 'ad
a cigar, sir, we'd be willin TO smoke it."
But the old man did not smoke, I'M

When the Ellis island employees ar

Africans--men. women and children

The Tirst CabIegraIn.

The first message over the Atlantic
cable was a dispatch from Queen Vic
toria to President Buchanan. There were
90 words in the message, but owing to
something getting wrong with the wires
it was "a hours from the time that the
first word was received until the last was
taken off. The principal part OF the
message was the queens expression of
the wish that the cable would prove a
bond of union and link Of friendship
between tle two great nations. Mr..
Buchanan heartily concurred in this
wish and incidentally remarked to her
majesty that in his estimation this
browning triumph of science would
prove a greater boon to humanity in

1t might naturally be supposed that
the father of centennials was no less a
patriarch than old Father Time himself,
but it seems that this title is claimed for
one Peyton of New Jersey, of whom it IS
alleged that he ia the responsible orig
inator of all the centennials we have
been having, from Bunker hill, in 1875,
to the fair at Chicago. Moreover, it is
stated that this relentless being, not yet
glutted with comnemOration, is at work
on an international celebration of the
birth and death Of Christ, to be held at
Jerusalem in the year 1900.
If Colonel Peyton has any friends, they
will confer a favor by purchasing stor-
age for him in some good safe deposit
company and locking him up there and
depositing the key to him in the East
river. This generation has had plenty OF
centennials. It does not want to go to
any more ever after this year. So that
heaven sends it strength and means to
make "a thorough job Of the Chicago
fair it will never ask to see another show
of more importance than the late Mr..
Barhum's circus, and it will not look at
that unless it is brought around to its
door. After all the centennials that it
has experienced nothing less than mil
lennial could possibly start its enthusi-
asm, and happily Colonel Peyton and all
the rest of us will be permanently at
rest years and years before the times are
ripe for a millennial at Jerusalem.-Har-

We could see the churches at Atlanta,
from the spires of several of which
were floating Confederate flags. The
batteries were in position, the guns
were shotted, the fuses were in, and an
officer stepped up to pull the lanyard
to fire the first shot. AS he lifted his
hand the sound of church bell calling
the people to worship fell on his ear.
For moment there was silence.
The officers looked from one to the
