TeIegraphing 10Y Years Ago.

At Dublin, Ireland, in 1888, was pub
lished a volume entitled Arthur
Young's Travels in France" which
contains an extract from letter writ
ten on October 16, 1887, and which is
here transcribed: IN. Lomond is a
most ingenious mechanic. He made a
remarkable discovery in electricity.
You write two or three words on paper;
he takes it with him into room, and
turns machine inclosed in cylinder
case, at the top of which is an electro
meter, small fine pith ball; wire
connects with a cylinder or electro
meter in a distant apartment, and his
wife, by remarking the corresponding
motions of the ball, writes down the
words they indicate, from which it ap-
pears that he has formed an alphabet
of motions. AS the form of the wires
makes no difference in the effect, the
correspondence may be carried on to
any distance, within or without for
tilted town, for instance, or for pur-
poses much more WORTHY"

GARDENS SHOULD Be IRRIGATED,
From Garden and Forest

FROM Oaruen ana Forest.
Rarely do our farms and gardens
suffer from drouth so widespread
and prolonged as the one which
now prevails in the Atlantic States.
Almost every year, however, there
are localities in which special gar
den crops at different seasons en-
tirely fail for lack of rain. The
gardens in this region should now
be yielding an abundant supply,
but greater portion of them are
not producing a single vegetable
for home use. This is a hardship
which can hardly be appreciated
except by those who live at a dis
lance from great markets which lay
under contribution the products of
continent. In regions of rainless
summers, where irrigation is nee
essary parctice, such hardships new
er occur, but it would seem wise if
provisions for watering the home
garden, at least, should be
made in climates where the rain
fall is usually sufficient. There are
f,w farms in the Middle States
where the vegetable garden could
not be so placed that it would be
irrigated at small expense. At
such a time as this, facilities for
watering garden crops would save
a good deal of money in many rur-
al households, besides adding ma
terially to their comfort and health.

the door of his mansion in Grafton
street, Piccadilly. 1t was by no
means brougham; it was a won
derful antiquated yellow chariot,
with very high springs, and
very much resembling a glori-
fed post chaise from its hue of
bright yellow. Well, the poet tells
us that one always returns to ones
first love, and perhaps Brongham
got tired of the new brougham
which he is said to have invented.

HANDEL'S Wit.
From Youths Conn anion.


Handel had great natural wit
and good humor which were con-
stantly showing the real good
heartedness of the man.
When the Messiah" was being
performed in Dublin, Dubourg led
the band, and one evening had a
close to make, ad libitum. Follow
ing the fashion the violinist took
his cadenza through varions keys,
and continued the improvisation
until Handel began to wonder
when he would really come to the
shake" which was to terminate
the part, and bring in the other in
Struments.
Eventually Dubourg finished the
cadenza with a grand flourish;
whereupon Handel, to the merri.
ment of the audience, exclaimed
loud enough to be heard:
Welcome home, Welcome home,
Mr., Dubourg." ..
On one occasion a perturbed
singer had some warm words with
Handel, and wound up the wrangle
by threatening to jump on the
harpsicord which he played.
oh" replied Handel. let me
know when you will do dat, and I
will advertise it, for I am sure dat
more people will come to see you
jump that to hear you sing"

ORIGIN OF The BROUGHAM.

Naturally, / mind very we'll the
period when there were no such
carriages as broughams. So long
ago as 1885 light four wheel cab,
earring only two passengers inside,
and drawned by two horses, was
placed on the London streets. 1t
was soon found that they could be
made to carry four passengers,
with very small increase of
weight In 1887 Mr.. w. Bridges
slgrer, published a very curious
work, entitled English Pleasure
Carriages" and among the vehic.
les in use at the period at which his
book appeared enumerates the town
coach with C-springs, hammer
cloth seat and Salisbury boot; the
cab phaetOn, the BritzsCka chariot,
the town chariot, the landeau, the
landeaulet, the barouChe, the baro-
uchette, the drosky, which was
simply sled on springs and
wheels; the Curricle, the tilbury,
the stanhope, which took its name
from the inventor, a brother of the
Earl Of Harrington; the dennet,

admired ballet dancers, the Misses
Dennet; and the gig, which, how
ever, had lost much of its vogue
through its association with the
murder of Mr.. Weare, by Thurtell.
Nh. Adams also claimed to be
the inventor of a phaeton, a chariot

VANITY OF THE ANARCHIST.
A Passion for Sensation and MOTTO.
riety at Any Cost.

riety at Any Cost.
FROM the London Spectator
1t is not easy to account for the
new destructiveness, in the present
age, of passion generally so harm
less and sometimes so lovable as
tha at of vanity. Usually, men who
are profoundly pleased with them
selves are blind to the fact that the
majority of their fellow. creatures
are not pleased with them, but the
new vanity is not pleased with its
self, but only self.important and
eager to discover in itself a power
over the world of which it
can find no trace. The craving ap-
pears to be to manufacture out of
pure emptiness a fateful influence
over the worlds history at the least
possible cost of effort. And OBJ
viously pure destructiveness is the
only solution of that problem. The
really harmless vanity does not
seek to carry the fate of the world
in its hand, but only to supply a
certain mild and agreeable center
of interest to those around it.
The new vanity springs out of
hunger to WELD power without any
corresponding mental resources,
and that is just what the later re-
sources of science have supplied us
with. The vainest idiot, deeply
discontented with his own insignifi
canoe, if he has the smallest smat.
tering of chemical science, can be-
come source of enormous danger
and mischief of the world in which
he lives, and that unfortunately has
proved the avenue to a new and
very powerful temptation. When
such a craving is combined with
very little love of life and superb
bundance of self esteem, the way is
at once open for the career of an
anarchist about whom at least one
generation of the Western peoples
will be compelled to take. 1t is a
curious feature of Vaillant's dairy
that he was evidently delighted
with himself for not hating the
people whom he hoped to destroy
But why should he have hated
them? They were absolutely es-
sential to his purpose. Without
victims he could never have made
himself the hero of far-reaching
sensation. and man does not gen.
orally hate those who are necessary
to his schemes.
We can only hope that WEAKNESS
and indifference to life will not
spread among us. 1t is the love of
life which is the best antidote for
this kind of morbid vanity, and
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1894-08-25

it is only among people who are
loosing all joy in life that such
crimes as these of the anarchists
and nihilists are likely to spread.
Yet why in a great and growing
empire like Russia should this in
difference to life be even more
widely dlffused than it is among
the exhausted volcanic passions of
Central and Southern Europe
