a Bill For IT. establishment Now Before
the I.eri.fature.

A Bill FOR Its establishments Now Before
the Legislature.
The accomplished Senator from
Barbour, Hon. D. w. Gall, has intro
duced a bill for the establishment Of
an Industrial school for girls-an
institution modelled after that already
provided for boys. It is . Reform
school, indeed, the purpose Of which
is Of the highest and most humane
characterize save many unfortunate
and unprotected girls from : career Of
wretchedness and shame. The theory
upon which the Senator's bill Is con
structed, and viii be pressed with his
accustomed zeal and ability, is, that
the girls require more than boys, the
protecting @gis Of the State, in which
We think the Senator is cleary logical,
as well as humane. It was \ generous
and manly spirit which prompted the
able Senator to propose the measure,
and il he accomplishes the work he
will deserve the gratitude Of the entire
State, and thousands will be saved
from ruin, to bless him, and those who
sustain him in his noble work for their
redemption from what otherwise would
haye been to them a life Of horror and
degradation.

enhance the value Of the stamp ii the
hands Of collectors On the whole.
Mr.. Wanamaker's special issue Is far
inferior in beauty to many other
United States stamps, and especially
to the famous issne Of 1869.
The two most interesting perform
ances Of the Post Office Department,
from the point Of view Of the stamp
dealers. were the suppression Of the
issue Of stamps 50 largely held in
Southern Post Offices just when the
Confederacy was formed, and the re-
issue in 1875 Of all the stamps issued
before that time. II happened that
when the reissue Of 1875 took place
the officers Of the department could
not End the die from which one Of the
early stamps was made, and a new
one was cut. As the department sold
all these reissued stamps at face value,
there WAS 4 slump in the price Of early
United States stamps. All these re-
issued stamps were sold by the Govern
ment until 1854, and the advance in
the value of Un.tsd States stamps
dates from that time.
A curious kink in stamp collecting
long practiced in Europe is beginning
to be common here. Many persons
Of moderate means in varioos parts Of
Europe, and especially in Germany,
obtain an their money FOR charity BY
collecting stamps. The Kings
Daughters III this country have been
collecting stamps for charity, and they
collect immense numbers. When il
became known that dealers would pay
ten cents per thousand for cancelled
United States stamps, collecting re-
ceived a great stimulus. Since that
time one concern in New York has
bought from 80, 900 900 to 10000, 00C
such stamps, and the number has Sc
rapidly increased hal the price has
fallen to seven cents per | 1000.
Stamp dealers in their gratitude to
Nj. Wanamaker have one ource 81
poignant regret; it is that he neglected
to accept the suggestion Of a bereayed
lady who begged that he issue a special
mourning stamp to go with the black
bordered envelopes Of those who thus
commemorate the loss Of those neal
and dear. She represented the har,
rowing effect Of a red, green, blue, o.
other giddy' stamp upon such an envel'
ope, but Mr.. Wanamakermerely wrote
that lie would consider the matter.

Greed Raymond, the famous Cali
fornia lawyer and politician was a ma
tive Of Marion county, this State. He
went to California in the early gold
fever days and like many others Of
that period was out for 4 job. Then
he had neither wealth, nor reputation
and for a time was 4 mail carrier. One
Of his early experiences in that line il
thus described by a western paper:
For a year and . half after arriving
III California, in 1852, he carried the
Wells, Fargo s. Co.'S mails on the
mountains. Brave and impetnous, be
feared nothing, it is said, and only on
one occasion was lie ever frightened.
1t was no bold highwayman, either,
that made him fear. 1t was an appari-
tion, Slender, delicate, and in the
form Of q young and pretty girl al
clad in white, it ran across the old
Sierra county road on which he was
riding. His horse stopped and shook
with fright, and weak and sick with
fear himself, the cold perspiration
stood out on his brow, bitter cold
though that December night was. He
always believed that what he saw was
a ghost, and he never forgot tho sen,
s~ations he felt in seeing it. He never
pretended to explain it."

rArurn RYAN.


The P~oet-priest Of the south Probably
Born in Hagerstown.
Although Father Ryan, the poet
priest Of the South, has been dead less
than ten years, his birthplace is a
matter Of uncertainty and speculation.
A recent writer Of the Baltimore liner
icaa claims this honor for Hagerstown,
Nd. This town, he says, is located on
the great highway to the West, and
was therefore q stopping place for
travellers before the introduction Of
railways. 1t was no unusual thing for
companies Of laborers to pass through
the town, seeking employment in the
far West. tits probable that Michael
Ryan, the father Of the poet, and his
wife passed through the town in one Of
these companies, and that while there,
Mrs. Ryan gave birth to the child who
has since made that name famous
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land.
The article then recites the record
of a baptismal register Of st. Mary's
Catholic Church, in substantiation Of
the claim.

A Chinese COurtshin.

In his own tiowery kingdom the
heather Chinee who desires to be
come a benedict does not dream OF
approaching his desired bride un
til he has heard what her father
has to say. The interview with papa
on these occasions is largely occupied
by a prolonged haggle over the
amount the SuitOr is to give until
the bargain is adjusted to mutual
satisfaction.
Then the suitor, highly perfumed
with assafetida, which is the smart
scent among Chinese, as it was
among the Carthaginians, calls on the
brides mother and is introduced to
the bride, whom, it must be under.
Stood he has not yet seen. The
visit consists largely OF bowling, scrap
ing, fourishing the hands, cringing
in every posture, every kind of cere.
monial and very little conversation.
The lover does not speak one word
to his intended, and seldom glances
toward her. Usually singing and
dancing girls come in and furnish di.
version. He remains in her presence
for two hours or longer, during the
whole of which time he does not get
a moment alone with bis intended,
or even fair look at her face-for it
is not etiquette for him to scrutinize
her too closely. When be has gone
he sends her presents.
1t is a good omen if he sends a gift
Of egg shells painted every kind OF
color.
All his visits are conducted on the
same plan. He does not get direct
and full view of her face until they
have ~gone away" that is, until she
has been brought in her palanquin
to his hOuSe.-New York Recorder.

| and general sketch of his character.
The author is disposed to think that
the police are not unnecessarily sus-
picious, and that they seldom COM
nit the b1under of molesting inno-
cent people. On the other hand, he
gives them credit for marvellous
acuteness in the detection of crime.
A foreign firm in St. Petersburg
had in their employ Russian clerk
He had been with them for many
years, and enjoyed the best Of repu-
tation as an honest and faithful man.
One day, to the boundless astonish-
ment Of the foreign merchant and
his staff, the Office was visited by a
pristaf, or chief officer of the police
force.
Il have called to inquire" he said,
whether you have lately been robbed
by any Of your clerks?"
The merchant answered that moth
ing Of the kind had happened. Why
was the question asked?
The pristaf explained that, al
though the firm might have felt no
uneasiness about the proceedings of
their clerk, Mr.. V, yet the police
had long had their suspicious, which
suspicious had eliminated in his ar
rest at the railway station that very
morning. Would the gentleman
please give orders to have the books
of the firm carefully gone over. to
see whether there had been any de-
falcation?
With strong protests on the part Of
the merchant against this unjust
treatment of his trusty clerk, an ex-
animation was begun; and it soon
transpired that the 1rm had been
plundered to the extent of more than
twenty thousand rubles!
Then, of course. the merchant
begged to know how the police had
become aware of what was going on.
The officer explained that it was all
simple enough. Mr.. v had been
seen to be spending more money than
a man in his position could be pre-
sumed honestly to have. Watch had
been kept upon him accordingly.
His champagne suppers, his boxes at
the opera, and such expenditures had
been recorded. 1t was known also
that he had made large remittance
to a friend" in Paris, and so, when
he went to the railway station to buy
his ticket TO that city he was ar
rested.

Krupp's Steel Works.

Herr Krupp's steel works at Essen
and else where form, perhaps, the
largest private manufacturing estab-
lishment in the world. The ywn OF
Essen, which may be almost said 10
owe its existence TO the kruppS. is
now place of 10000 inhabitants,
and the works themselves cover /, 90
acres, and employ %. coo persons, who
live in 5000 houses, all Of which be-
long TO the firm. There are eleven
large furnaces, |. .542 smelling fur
naCeS, 439 steam boilers. So steam
hammers, the largest of which are OF
1000 horse power apiece, 40 steam
engines, 1922 steam-driyen ma
chimes, and 81 locomotive engines al
ways in use on the spot; and away
from his central foundry. Herr krupp
possesses and works three cal min :
j47 iron mines in Germany, other
iron mines in 81 ain, and four ocean
steamers. He supplies his workmen
with almost everything they require.
and he maintains for their use an
hotel, eight beer saloons. Il mineral
water factory, -four mill. bakery.
a Slaug and fifty shops.
krupp makes guns for nearly every
nation except England and France:
but he makes many other things be-
sides, The best proof OF bis fair
treatment OF his men may he found
in the fact that. during the recent
labor troubles in Germany, although
loo, 900 people were on strike in the
district Immediately around Essen.
not one OF krupps employees showed
the least trace OF discomfort.
