THE FERRIS WHEEL.

An English syndicate has decided to build a Ferris wheel to be run in a suburb of London as business investment. The wheel at Chicago is a paying piece of property, although it cost almost a third of million of dollars to construct it. It was one of the most daring pieces of en- gineering, and the largest chance invest ment known to have been made in this century, and illustrates what perfection has been attained in iron and steel manu- featuring in the United States. It was planned and designed by young man but six years from school, and was con- structed by six iron companies in five months with such accuracy that every part of it went together as designed. The steel and iron in the double wheel, and the thirty-six cars, weigh one hundred and fifty tons, and it revolves upon an axle that weighs seventy tons, one hun- dred and forty feet from the ground. | It makes no noise in it's revolutions, and when at it's height the observer is 250 feet from the ground.
 The foundations are laid thirty-fvc feet deep, and it is firmly fastened to them. During gale blowing 100 miles an hour this great wheel showed no de- l fiection, and in the midst of this hurri- cane MT. Ferris, his wife and reporter made the round trip to witness the effect of the gale. . The reporter writing of his experience afterwards said: "Mr.- Ferris had faith in his wheel, Mrs. Ferris had faith in ncr husband; but the reporter had faith in neither God nor man." a- e | This smoothly revolving monster toy,- has carried million passengers on its round trip already, and it will carry a- million more before the great exposition closes. =

COUNTRY ROADS.

Pm not poet, by no means,

 That almost break one's back And l believe I'll state my mind
 In cobbling kind of verse My subject is rough, you see,
 My poetry can't be worse. l live six miles or so from town,
 Upon tidy farm. Miranda Jane, my wife, is smart,
 Possesses many charm. We've rode together to and fro
 For years, to church and store, Tho christians, we've by roads been riled A thousand times or more. In rainy spring through splashing mud, Our horses have to poke; In summer time when there's drouth.
 With dust we almost choke. When apples to the cider mill Must go, or grain be ground, To haul down hill or drag up hill,
 Is weary work, I've found. Pm not afraid of honest toll; I've not one lazy streak; And wife's industrious, too; we read The paper every week. She profits by the recipes,
 
 And have learned to till, enrich
 My land, and lots of things. My crops, when seosons will permit.
 Are always of the best 'Twixt fruit and garden truck and stock
 I I own an Eden nest. There's lots of posies in the yard,
 Some cash Ive safely banked, Eve bought an organ for the girls,
 We've three, the Lord be thanked. pay my poll-tax every year,
 Or work it on the square, Yet there bad country roads arc still Enough to make one swear. But as Eve sworn, will not swear,
 Since l the church have joined, wish tee government. would fix
 The roads and ease my mind. l've lost my tires, I've racked my team, That Pve too sharply spurred; I've stayed to hum, on Sunday some,
 From preaching of the Word The neighbours, too, when weather's bad Remain in their abodes, And all because we're pestered with
 Such dreadful country roads. In this suberb Columbus year
 When exposition loads Chicago-wards are travelling,
 Iris time to talk of roads. Our old-world visitors will stare
 At our rude rustic modes, Let's make our reputation fair r By fixing up the roads. Pm not a poet, by no means,
 As any one can see, But when our country roads get good,
 Then mebbe I shall be. Fer do like ship-shape track,
 Where critters need no goad, And that my say-so. Yours, Jack Black, In favor of good roads.

Hartford Post: One of the officials at Proctor's opera house was telling a new box window story last night. ''I was selling tickets for matinee of a saucer skirt show, one afternoon when a very att tractive, looking young lady stopped at the window and said that she would like to buy seat in the balcony. She want ed to gee the show but she didn't want anybody to see her, for if either her hus- band or any of her folks knew of her go- ing she would be disgraced. There are two seats in the balcony separated from the rest in the row, and I gave her a check for one of these.
 ssSoon after she left, young man came toSthe window. Say he said, T want to see this show, but don't want anyone to see me- If anyone should see me and tell my wife or my folks I would be dis graced.' Some instinct told me that this man was the husband of tho young lady who asked for seat in the balcony I showed him the chart and pointed out the two seats in the second row. One, said, issoccupied, but the other you can have He said this just suited him.
 Fl afterwards learned that tho woman was his wife, both were equally guilty, felt equally foolish, and were equally ready to forgive the other.
 Between the first and second acts the gentleman left me very nice cigar.
 "When they left the opera house they were together, and each promised the other that when they wanted to go to any kind of a show they would tell the other We might as well anyway said the hus- band for fate or a kind official seems to mean that we should sit together Here he gave me a knowing wink. never said word'

A RIDICULOUS STORY.
One of San Jose's Capital Removal
Faxed Yarns.
An Alleged Consultation That Never
Took Place-Secretary Waite's
Positive Denial.

One of the most bare-faced newspaper
fakes of this taking age was the dispatch
in yesterdays Examiner, dated at San
Jose and giving statement alleged to
have been made by H. V. Morehouse
concerning the Capital removal question.
To show the utter shamelessness of the
thing, the dispatch is given in full:
II. V. Morehouse returned from Sacramento
to-day, and announces he had an important
conference with Secretary OF State Waite and
Judge Mckune concerning the Capital re-
moNal case now pending in that county. He
states that determination was reoched
whereby the constitutional question involved
in the matter would be submitted in an
agreed case 10 the superior Court in few
days.
Ii was decided to lay aside all the minor
questions that burden the Livermore com
plaint and to admit on the part OF both sides
that Senator >Seymour's resolutions submit
ting the question of removing the Capital
had passed the Legislature in the regular Way
The mode OF introducing the case in the
courts was also considered. Secretary Waite
objected to a writ OF 1nandamuS, which calls
upon him not to insert the resolution in the
next election proclamation. because il would
place him in an attitude of refusing to obey
the provisions of an Act which stood as a law
A writ OF prohibition would not do because
such process is directed to judicial and not
TO administrative officers, such Mr.. Waite
is and the only thing that remained was TO
have issued a writ OF injunction against the
Secretary of State. This writ will be issued
by Judge Prewett OF Placer County sitting in
the sacramento Superior Court. The ques-
tionS TO be submitted are:
Had the Legislature q right TO pass such a
resolution?
Has the Secretary of State the right to SUBJ
nit il TO the people?
As soon as the injunction is issued the Sec
retary's attorneys Will file q demurrer and
Judge Prewett will sustain it, thus throwing
the matter into the court OF last resort with
out delay.
Another important result of the conference
was the appointment of Messrs Morehouse
and Delmas, the San Jose attorneys as the
Secretary of States attorneys. They will rep
resent him, as well as San Jose, in all proceed
ings.
In the first place, Secretary of State
Waite says he has not seen Mr.. More
house, and consequently he has had no
such consultation as that referred to, and
that-so tar as he knows-there is not the
slightest foundation for the story.
\ RECoRD-UNIoN reporter called at
Judge Mckune's Office to learn what he
might have to say on the subject, and
was there told that the Judge had been
out of the city for couple OF days. So
far as anyone in his office knew, he had
had no consultation with Mr.. Morehouse.
The whole story bears on its face the
stamp of fake" but it is no doubt San
Jose fake.
