Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
June is notably rich in matter of per-
sonal contemporaneous human interest
having a gossipy article upon Char
acteristics of Congressman, illus
trated with no less than forty potrait
sketches from life, by Gribay and
Clinedinst; and some delightfully."- in
innate "reminiscences of gladstone, by
Howard Paul, accompanied with eight
progressive portraits of the grand old"
COmmoner at marked periods of his
life between 1852 and 1892. The sec

series of memoirs of a war artist, by
Joseph Becker, special for Leslie's, is
devoted to the siege of Petersburg, and
embraces some thrilling pictures, in

Steam Wagons.

The next step of progress in the
cheapening of transportation in coun-
tries having good roads will be, it
seems, in the larger use of wagons pro-
PEELED by steam. Such vehicles, it is
found, having broad-tired wheels, i'm
prove instead of injuring the roads they
are used upon. Those of the latest
type are cheaper in use than wagons
drawn by horses, providing the freight
offering for carriage is abundant in
amount and steady in supply. Steam
wagons in crowded streets occupy less
space than horse-drawn vehicles. In
army times they are on this account of
special value and are about being used
by some European governments. The
horse, besides taking up space in the
road, must stop at intervals to eat and
sleep, whereas the steam wagon can go
"a hours a day. The steam wagon, in
fact, has every advantage that the
locomotive and train have over the
wagon train drawn by horses, except
that of smooth steel rail and easy
grades to run upon. It is worth while
for our inventors to consider whether
between our large cities and where
good roads exist there is not an un
supplied need for a steam wagon that
will work better than those hitherto
used

The Future of Electricity.

The editor of the Electrical AOe. Mr..
Thomas B. Taltavale, has RECENTLY
given his views of the future uses of
electricity, and, while we NAV think he
taxes entirely too ROSY a view of the
prospect ahead, the revelations of the
past nave been so marvellous that one
may well pause before he condemns the
views OF one who is skilled electric
ian himself, and, therefore, better able
to form correct views of the future of
this subtle and all,prevailing agent.
Here are some of the prophecies he in
dulges in:
by 1900 l expect to see our homes.
offices, stores ETC., heated by electric.
lty. This system of heating is entirely
practicable, the only question involved
being the all-import one, cost. 1t pro.
bably will be made popular by supply
ing electricity from large central sta
tlons through street mains, connecting
the premises Herewith.
Electricity may then be used for
cooking, and doing what mechanical
work may be necessary about the house.
store or factory, such as running sew.
ing machines, running pumps, eleva-
| tors, cash carriers, etc. Besides these
uses, of course. it will light our homes.
It can be made to perform all these
duties by simply turning little handle
or pushing button.
Electricity will be used TO accom-
plish a thousand and one different
things to save US labor, and in direc-
tions little dreamed of at present. New
things and applications are being con-
stantly developed; it only needs more
popular familiarity with them to find
wider use for them.
Our street railroads will be operated
By electricity by that time, not bv the
overhead trolley system, but by an
underground conduit system. Such a
system is free from every alleged OBJ
lection to the overhead trolley. The
storage battery system may play an i'm
portant part in electric street railroad
operations and some batteries on the
market and in actual nse give very
great promise for this class of work.
mechanical Improvement are con-
Stantly being made in electrical appa-
ratus and these will greatly aid in the
solution Of the problem of popularizing
electricity. When we can light and
heat our homes as cheaply as we do
with gas and coal at the present time,
then we shall be enjoying the boon of
electricity to the full. These blessings,
| think, will be bestowed upon our
people before 1900 dawns."

Corn Fodder for Summer.

Farmers should not neglect this ad-
vice given by the agricultural editor of
the Baltimore american, especially as
large number of farmers are supply
ing The creameries with milk: After the
corn crop is planted, an acre or two of
fodder corn should be drilled in for
feeding. However abundant the past
ure may be in the early summer by the
latter part of July the heat of the sun
and the dryness of the atmosphere
causes the grass roots to stop growing,
and the result is a scarcity of green
feed. The only way to avoid this state
of affairs is to prepare now an acre OF
fodder for every eight head of grown
stock to be fed. This amount OF green
feed will give, in connection with what
can be COTTON from the pasture, enough
to carry the stock through the summer
drought. The strength of corn fodder
occurs when the stock is full of sugar
and this takes place when the ear is in
silk. Corn planted in early May viii
be in this condition by the latter par
of July, at the time the fodder is needed

A Former Delawarean Nominated for
Governor of Oregon.

Judge William p. Lord, who has
just received the Republican nomina.
ton for governor of Oregon, is well
remembered in this State. He is de-
scended from one of the old Delaware
families, being the son of Mr.. and Mr..
Edward Lord, of Camden, Del. and
graduated from Fairfield college, N. Y.
in 1866, with the highest honors of his
class. Immediately upon finishing his
college course he began the study oflaw
in the Office of Judge Fisher, who won
fame in the trial of Mrs. Surratt. and
later filled the important position of
first auditor of the treasury during Presi
dent HarrisOa's administration. The
commencement of the civil war came
when young Lord had been engaged on
his studies but six months, and he i'm.
mediately abandoned them to enter the
First Delaware cavalry. For the two
succeeding years he was with this com.
mand, and was then detailed on the
staff of General Lew Wallace, and or
! dered to Baltimore to discharge the
duties of Judge advocate on a military
| commission. Although the Youngest
officer in the service filling so responsi.
bic position, Judge Lord displayed
such signal ability that for eighteen
consecutive months he continued tC
discharge the onerOus duties of that Of
! fee to the entire satisfaction oe the wal
| department and President Lincoln
The road was just opening for his pro
motion to the post of judge advocat,
general, when the assassination O
President Lincoln changed the entir,
conduct Of the government.
Upon the close ofthe war Judge LORD
was transferred to the regular artillery
service, with the rank of major, and
ordered to the Pacific slope, and tn,
next few years were spent in this ser
vice. Becoming profoundly impressed
with the future of Oregon. then Jus
opening he resigned from the army anC
began the practice Of law at Salem
where lie soon rose to The foremOs
RANK Of his profession, distinguished
alike for his conservative judgement
deep legal knowledge, cOuscientiOu
and patient labor and keen sighteC
penetration. About ten years ago h,
was elected a judge of the supreme
court of the State, and has since beer

political tide OF Oregon may have sur
ged, the election of Judge Lord ba
never been questioned at any time. Th
characteristics which distinguished
him at the bar have been even NOR
prominent since he has been on tn
bench, and his reported decisions form
a surprisingly large portion of the pro
ceediugs of the court. His nomination
for governor assures Oregon to the Re
publicans in June, and the question i
only one Of majorities. The vote give
for Judge Lord on previous occasion:
when he has been a candidate, wal
rants the assertion that Oregon wi
give a larger Republican majority thi
year than ever in her history.
For long time President Harriso

1l,OOO Fish For 81.

Few people of Wilmington have any
definite comprehension of the wander
full profusion of the herring catch along
the Delaware & Chesapeake canal.
Last week a haul of 1000 fish was
sold to farmer at St. Georges for the
sum of 81 1t is calculated that the
whole 1000 fish might be brought to
Wilmington in a large sized wagon.
They might be peddled on the streets
there and something like $50 cleared
on the transaction after all expenses
had been paid.
But the chief point in regard to such
an enterprise is that hundreds of fami-
lies of the city would be treated to q
meal Of good fresh fish at a nominal
cost.
Many carloads of the fish are hauled
out for manuring the neighbOring
lands. The fishermen say they can
get no market for them. 1t is strange
to see within few miles of the city
where there is an undoubted market
for the herring, myriads of these fish
considered the world over as fine edible
fish as swim in the sea going, to waste
or else being used for manure.

A Compliment to the Local Paper

At recent business convention Gov
ernor Francis, of Missouri, who is in a
position to know whereof he speaks,
paid tribute to the local newspaper as
follows:
Each year the local paper gives
from $500 10 $4,000 in free lines to the
community in which it is located. No
other agency can or will do this. The
editor, in proportion to his means, does
more for his town than any other ten
men, and in all fairness with men he
ought to be suppOrted-nOt because
you like him or admire his writings,
but because the local paper is the best
investment a community can make. 1t
may not be brilliantly edited or crOwed
with thought, but financially it is OF
more benefit to the community than
the teacher or preacher. Understand
me, do not mean mentally 0r morally
but financially, and yet on the moral
question you will find most of the local
papers on the right side. To-day the
editors of the home papers do the most
for the least money of any people on
the face of the EARTH"

Natures Slumber Song.

The day draws to a close,
The sun fain seeks repoSe
Amid the golden glories of the west.
In robes of sapphire hue
He hides from worldly view.
And on the sky's broad couch
Sinks into rest.
The silent Queen of Night
Sheds a silvery light,
Like mystic halo from on high.
The stars their watches keep
While Nature falls asleep,
And the summer zephyTs
Coo lullaby.
In one grand symphony
The birds pour forth to thee
Their Angelus in cadence low and sweet,
Their Ave Maria said,
Each flower drOOps it head,
To raise it when the sun
The day shall greet.

The Inventor ofPhosphorus Matches

E. Jensen, Zeis. anger. Chem.
Romer, Preschel, and Irinyi are va
rously named as inventors OF phospho
rus matches From the testimony of \
still living college friend. 1t appears
that the real inventor is the Hunpa-
rian, Janos Irlnyi. 1t was in 1885
when the latter, then 10 years old and
student at the Polytechnic School in
Vienna, attended Professor Meissuer's
lecturs on chemistry. He became
greatly impressed by demonstration
OF the reaction produced on rubbing
together peroxide of lead and sulphur.
1t struck him straightway that the re-
action may be greatly intensified when
substituting phosphorus for sulphur.
lrlnyl was not to be seen at the college
Tor the next few day days. His friend
wishing to see him called at his rooms
but found the door lockeded, and on
giving his name, received the unnis-
taxable answer "Geh' veg, Schwab.'
ich mach cine Erfindung," On ioin-
ing his friends, Irinyl had his pockets
full of matches which he struck on the
walls, all Of them taking fire. He pre-
pared them by melting phosphorus ID
a concentrated solution of glue. and
shaking until the mass became cold
and all the phosphorus assumed fine
ly divided state. This emulsion was
mixed with brown peroxide of lead
and sticks previously dipped In molten
sulphur were Immersed IN the mixture

Foucht With Potatoes.



You accuse us OF duelling," said a
Georgia man. "but, as matter OF fact,
the code Is practically a thing OF the
past in our State Forty years ago it
was different
Did you ever hear" he continued,
''of Bill Bowman's famous potato duel? %
His auditor replied that he had not.
"Well, it came about in this way"
continued the Georgian. Bowman
was a noted circuit rider Of Kentucky
and Northwestern Georgia. At one Of
his services a tough citizen created
disturbance. He was publicly rebuked,
and challenged Bowman to fight duel.
"As the challenged party Bowman
had the choice of weapons. He selec-
ted Irish potatoes, and stipulated that
the cor test should take place at fifteen
PAGES. and that neither man should
take more than a half bushel of ammu-
milton.
The ruffian was furious at being
thuS freshly insulted He protested
against the ridiculous duel, but Bow
man insisted that he had the right to
name the weapons. Moreover, he
threatened to denOunce the other as
coward if he faileu to come to the
scratch. There was no way out of 1t
but to fight, and SO the challenger was
forced to accept
''The duel came off near MlI!ersDurg.
Every one from the country round
heard of the contest and hocked early
to the duelling ground. The ground
was paced off bv the seconds, and the
men took their positions, each by the
side of half bushel of large sized pota-
toes.
Are you ready?' cried the Sec
Onds.
Each man stopped and seized po- |

the second.
"Bill Bowman was mighty coed |

true and struck his opponent full on

crowd yelled with delight. This I'M
nerved the duellist, and his potato flew

Bowman struck him on the shoulder.
Again the crowd danced for JOY.
so it continued during an exclaimed
OF a dozen volleys. The rutian was hit |
at least a half dozen times. and I can
tell you it's not a simple thing to be
struck with a solid potato. Bowman's
last shot struck his opponent in the
epigastric region, knocked his wind out !
and doubled him up on the ground.
by this time the spectators were
convulsed with laughter, but the cir
cult rider remained as solemn as though !
about to denver funeral address. The
last blow took all the fight out of the |
duellst, and he was taken home. bruised |
and sore from the effects of his strange
encounter. It was full week before
he recovered himself After the bur
lesque affair with Irish potatoes there
were mighty few duels in those parts"
