DORSEY LOOKING UP.
Seems to Have Recovered Physical and
Mental Balance.

New York Herald.

he was looking. Dorsey came out of the
celebrated star route trials bruised and
broken man, physically. mentally and finan-
cially. lie was probably more hurt at the
deserti0n of prominent men whom he had
made and whom he had thought his friends
than from all his misfortunes.
Before the great Star route fcandal, with
which his name was coupled, Dorsey was a
man who made and unmade Presidents. In
the long and bitter trial, however that fol-
lowed the exposures he found himself not
only deserted, but pushed to the verge of
the prison bars BY the very men be had
been chiefly instrumental in lifting into
high official station. He found himself
bounded down by newspapers that had
tried ana convicted him before he appeared
before the legal tribunal that acquitted him.
Treated as felon and denounced as an
outlaw on every hand. his naturally open
hearted, genial nature became soured. He
drew into his shell and away from the rest
of the world. Most Of bis time was spent
in the solitude OF his far western ranch, al
though he had headquarters and business
connection in lower Broadway. His occa-
sional appearance uptown was invariably
the occasion for the index finger of the idler
ana l0unger, so he came I'D seldom.
His habits of life, very liberal always. be-
came gradually worse. He was brainy
man of restless energy and proud courage,
struggling IN vain against terrible odds and
soon he was down. He was very much
down, too, With suits knee deep.
But Dorsey had lot of pluck He began
again at the bottom by changing his whole
course of life. He disappeared for awhile:

hope. He is interested in Colorado irriga-

A DUKES DISCOVERY.
De Morny's Device for Cheapening the
Cost of Photographic Prints.


That distinguished amateur photogra-
pher. the Due de Morny, has communicated
to the French War Office process by which
paper of any kind or thickness can receive
a Photographic print. Eighty copies can
be printed per minute at a triflng expense.
ami note paper, season tickets, etc, may
thus bear Photographic portraits of the
owner. General Saussjer. the commandant
of the garrison in Paris. is engaged. it is
stated. in making experiments with view
to applying the process to the 'livrets.' or
certificates CT service and character deIiv-
cred 20 soldiers, and ere long perhaps the
Due de Morny's system of cheap photo
graphic printing may be adopted In the case
of the 'iivrets," which w0rkmen and do
nestle servants in France are expected to
possess.
OF the usefulness of cheap photograp hic
portraits on season tickets and other docu-
ments which may lead to personal identI-
fication of the real proprietor there can
scarcely be any doubt. Still ii must not be
forgotten that the multiplication Of very
cheap Photographic portraits has long been
practieed in the United States, where pho
tographers for a very moderate cOnsldera-
ton will supply client with 100 little
efigies of himself printed on a sheet OF
paper gummed at the back. the sheet being
dlvislbe by means OF perfOratlons into
squares the exact size of postags stamps. so
that the tiny portraits can then be used at
the p0Ssessor's own sweet will. tie may
stick one inside the cover of every book IN
his library or affix them as seals TO the
envelopes of the letters which be dispatches
TO his friends and acquaintance.
Travellers in Russia, in the east, and in all
countries where foreigners are looked upon
with suspicion, would also act wisely in
causing themselves 10 be photographed on
their passports and their visiting-cards, and
there are, indeed. hundreds of transactions
in social life which might be considerably
facilitated by attaching photographs, swiftly
and cheaply obtained, to articles In general
use. If, when check was made payable 10
bearer, little postage-stamp like photo
graph of the bearer himself could be
gummed on the face of the document. the
appearance of the counterfeit presentmeDt
would be sufficient 10 assure the banks
cashier that the check had not got into
wrong hands.
The Due de Morny's ingenious improve
ment in Photographic printing IS only
further Illustration of the almost innumer-
able possibilities Of photography itself, vet
it is passing range and almost mournful
to admit that some of the earIies. expert
ments in photography were distinctly asso-
ciated with the production or the alteration
of certain cOlors under given conditions,
but that at the present Time, Immense as
have been the developments made in this,
the most scientific of all the arts, we seem
to be as far as ever from the in finitely
yearned-for discovery of any method Of
perfectly reproducing, BY means Of the lens,
the camera and the sensitiZed plate, images
In the exact colors OF nature.

FEAST OF ST. BARBARA.
The Beautiful Girl Is the Favorite Saint

The feast Of st. Barbara, like that OF st.

taken prisoner, her breasts were cut off, and
thus exposed to the brutal soldiers, who
took possession OF ner, fastened her to a
stake, covered her with uuicklime, and
burned her to death; aud this she suffered
rather than renounce the religion she had
embraced This. at least, is the legend, and
the artillery and the engineer regiments
feie her as their patron, to whom they
show much respect and gratitude, especially
as they have half the day free and double
pay.
