! Southern Pacific Business.

San FRANcIsco. Dec. 26.-Judging
from the statement of earnings of the
Southern Pacific railroad, the wave of
depression that swept over the country
appears to have done less injury to the
Pacific coast than to any other section
of the United States. The gross earn
ings Of the road up to October amounted
to SAL, ,137 900. This is $261 900 less
than for the same time last year. AL
though there will be a decrease in the
errnings of the road this year it will be
less than that experienced by railroads
in other sections of the country.

THE GREAT NAPOLEON.

ais Remarkable Goodness In Times Of
Great Danger.
Mai. Gen. Yakovitch. of the Russian
army, is one of the few men now
living who saw tho great Napoleon
on q battle field. The old soldier
saw the French emperor at Boro-
dino. At that battle, Yakovitch,
then a mere boy, served with a battery
in the grand rcdoubt, which was the
center of the Russian line. Hc gives .
graphic description of the battle.
When morning broke sea of gray
mist shut cut the field from view. The
voices of the enemy were heard, the
ncighing of their horses, and the rum
bling of artillery wheels. Then came
the thunder of cannon, making the
very earth tremble. Three times all
the Russian gunners were killed, and
three times new men took their places.
Bullets few thick as hail, and men
dropped dead or wounded every mo-
ment.
At last a strange sound was heard In
the distance, like rain pattering on
withered leaves. 1t grew louder and
louder, until it filed the air like
the roar of q stormy sea. All

obliged to depend upon the evan
escent friendships which they have
made here for the stimulants which they
imbibe, they will de1ounce the presi-
dent and declare that they viii go into
some other party before the close Of the
administration. Four years ago great
many disappointed republicans were
talking that way, and it is fair to pre-
sumo that number of disappointed
democrats will soon be airing their
views in the same manner.
The chiefs of divisions and other
bureau officers who are gradually being
displaced are probably realizing that

ming of the Harrison administration,
there was q tendency on the part of
some officials to magnify their offices at
the expense of the people. This is .

Washington. When q man is inducte9

to dust his clothes and blacken his

or from his Office to various points
of interest throughout the city, it is
not unnatural that these things should
produce largeness of the head.

portion of the lesson of individual lit

Letting Him Have 1t.

Among the passengers on suburban
train the other day was woman very
much overdressed, accompanied by q
bright-looking nurse girl and a self
willed, tyrannical boy of about three
years. The boy aroused the indignation
of the passengers by his continued
shrieks. and kicks, and screams, and
his yiciousness towards the patient
nurse. He tore her bonnet, scratched
her hands. and finally hit her in the
face without q word Of remonstrance
from the mother Whenever the nurse
manifested any firmness the mother
would chide her sharply. Finally,
madame composed herself for nap,
and when the boy had slapped the
nurse for about the fiftieth time wasp
came sailing in and few on the window
near his seat. The boy ut once tried to
catch it. The nurse caught his hand
and said, coaxingly:
Harry mustn't touch; wasp will bite
him.
Harry screamed savagely, and began
to kick and pound the nurse. The
mother. without opening her eyes or
lifting her head, cried out sharply:
Wny Will you tease tuht Cu1u 50,
Mary? Let him have what he wants
at once"
But, ma'am, it's a"
LET him have it, say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at
the wasp and caught it. The yell that
followed brought tears of joy to the
passengers. The mother awoke again.
Mary" she cried, "let him have it."
Mary turned in her seat, and said,
Hes got 1t, ma'am!-Nt-Bits.
