Vienna to Hava an Electric Railway
Running Beneath the Streets.
The Austrian Land Bank, a we'll
known financial institution, has just
been granted by the minister of COM
merce concession for an underground
electric road for Vienna. 1t will cross
the city. 1t is understood that it
will be narrow-gauge double thack,
beginning at the Danube canal, pa s.
ing under the central city. touching
the western suburbs, parlllaiirg the
Observation-Disclosures to the western ter
minus, and so out to Shoenbrunn and
Penzing like the road in London it
is to 20 so deep that the foundations OF
the houses will be far above it. and
absolutely undisturbed.
The exact length OF the trip is not
clear, and the journey will occupy
eighteen minutes from one end to the
other. Single cars are to run under
short Roadway, each carrying forty
passengers, and on special occasions
the service will be duly increased. Now
that the concession has been secured
the route will be attacked at seven
separate points, and it is hoped to have
the road ready within year. Such
celebrity may well act as q stimulus to
efforts now being made to give New
York such a system. ',
The Viennese regard the project with
great favor. and handsome profit is
expected by the promoters. Meantime
the surface conduit electric railway
system at Buda-Pesth, Hungary, is
giving satisfaction, and, while detailed
statistics Of cost and maintenance are
withheld, feasibility may be inferred
from the intention to extend the ROAD
some twenty miles. The conduit road
now being built on the upper west side
Of New York city is like that at Buda.

curious If he has not his attention at
once awakened to the peculiarities by
which he finds himself surrounded. In
the first place, he will not have spent
more than day in the town before he
will have observed the difference be-
tween the resident ROSTERS and those
of all other portions of the world, ex-
cept, perhaps, the Holy Land. In ap-
pearance the ROSTERS are the same as
in other countries. They have the same
strut, the same comb, the same desire
to pick a quarrel. But there the re-
semblance ceases. The ordinary roos-
ter commences his chant at about 8
o'clock p. NJ, and it is continued till
dawn without cessation. The writer
has endeavored. In vain, to ascertain
the cause Of this. Some say that they
select this early hour because politi-
clans and others are so demonstrative
at other times that the rooster avails
himself Of the comparative quiet to
make himself heard to effect. There
may be something in this, but the eli
mate is mainly responsible. The word

unknown to the citizens Of any Eastern
state. It decks the mountain side like
a veil of silver; it turns black rocks to

trous results to both. In the average
citizen the very mention Of a yellow
dog is calculated to produce a night
mare. A curious illustration Of their
detestation Of this particular specimen
of the canine race Is furnished by the
fact that "a Story Of a Yellow Dog"
was being published in two papers,
and before it's conclusion each paper
suspended. "No. SIR" said the editor
of one Of these papers, "there was
nothing wrong with the story; it was
written by a literary gentleman; it was
written in a literary strain; but the
people, as I have learned to my cost,
will not stand yellow dog literature.

Lord Mayo led Mrs. Campbell Into
the dining room and Lucy fell to the
lot Of his lordship's abide camp-the
gentleman who had pumped our hero
SO skilfully. But he did not feel in
clined to grumble at that arrangement.
He was well content to bring up the
rear with her father and sit opposite
to her and side by side with the gov
ernor general.
Like all thoroughbred gentlemen,
Lord Mayo had the art, or Second ma
ture," of setting all persons at their
ease tn his presence, except, of course,
sly rogues, who never, can feel quite at
ease In the presence of an honest man.
The dinner might have been that OF
family party for any sense Of stiffness
or constraint that pervaded it. Nor

the reckless courage born Of that hope
deferred which maketh the heart sick.

he said; and he repeated with firm
humor the prescriptive words, "'Sir--I
have the honor to inform YOU etc"
"Ay, it seems you know your lesson
thoroughly" quoth Lord Mayo, with a
merry twinkle in his eye. But per-
haps the bird may sometimes change

Next morning as he sat at breakfast,
Charlie received a note addressed to
him in a peculiarly bold and legible
hand. He hastily tore it open and read:
"Sir--I have the honor to inform you
that have placed your name on the
list of applicants for the vacant post
in the general supervision department.
But as your name heads the list, you
may chance to find this announcement
better than waste paper. Wishing you
heartily every success, I am, very
faithfully yours. Mayo"
Up he jumped, snatched up his hat
and rushed off at the top Of his speed
toward Collector Campbell's bungalow
to pour out his thanks to the. governor
general. But he found the bird flown.
There was some one, however, to re-
ceive him; some one in whose bright
eyes the kind-hearted nobleman had
read a certain tale OF true love; whose
course he forthwith resolved to smooth
so far as in him lay. And he succeed

Not glad, as the low-loving herd,

But they have heartily designed
The benefit of broad mankind.
And they serve man austerely,
After their own genius clearly,
Without a false humility:
For this is Loves nobility
Not to scatter bread and gold,
Goods and raiment bought and sold;
But to hold fast his simple sense,
And to speak the speech of innocence,
And with hand and body and blood.
