 l There is a doubt as to his decision.
 but supposing him to fight on, are there
 any chances of his ultimate success /?
 There are in our judgment just three,
 of which one will be rejected by ali readers unacquainted with Asia as ab-
 surd. It is just conceivable that some energetic and capable woman in his court may be able to rule the emperor no man can get close enough to his
 mind-and, stirred by the prospect of flight from the palace, with all it's un- know nterrors, may organize a small
 army out of the mass of soldiery en-
 camped round Pekin, and inspiring
 them with some new hope, may inflict a crushing defeat on the Japanese arm ies, which, when all told do not include | 80000 effectives. That is most improba-
 ble, though the TeaDing revolt was crushed by woman on the throne, be- cause though ability may eXtemporize
 an army, and even inspire it with cour- age or fanaticism, it cannot provide it with regulation cartridges, melinite shells, or tactical experience in the use of it's powers.
 Another chance, strange as it may
 seem to many readers, we believe to
 be a genuine one, not to be lightly put
 out of calculation, is that the Japanese
 so triumphant at sea, may be defeated before Pekin; or, in other words, that the vast hordes of armed men aceumu-
 lated by Lii Hung Chang, and probably numbering half a million, at last realiz- ing the shame of China, the danger of
 their native civilization, and the dis grace to their dynasty, may fight as
 the MeXicans fought Cortes, disregard death altogether, and crush the Japan ese by the sheer weight of fighting num- bers. The Spaniards nearly lost the new world in that way and the Japan ese may by possibility lose China too a possibility which would be a proba- bility but that only the Manchus are sincerely anxious that the dynasty should go on reigning. The Chinese would rather have the Mings back, and though we entirely admit Sir Thomas Wade's right to speak with authority, we are not yet convinced that they would not accept Japanese dynasty if it would reside half the year in Pekin.
 And lastly, there is the chance which is at least conceivable of China finding,

or. to write wti han almost needless brutality, purchasing, and ally. No-
 body even thinks of that possibility
 but China has islands to give, can se- cure the indemnity money to any ally
 as well as to her enemy, and is not wholly beyond helping. At sea nothing
 can be done except by Great Britain, and Great Britain will not interfere simply to save China; but is interven- tion by a single power absolutely out of the question? Nobody discusses that vet it. must be within the range of con- ceivable possibilities. Ten thousand good troops in front of Pelin would save China, fir behind them the imperial masses could be organized, and a good many single powers could put them there. Russia could for one, her price being Corea; and we are by no means certain that the "Asiatic Department" of the Russian foreign office, which is perpetually saying through it's papers that Japan shall not have Corea, has not considered that possibility very closely. Germany could. for another, and Germany would like Formosa and free trade with China very much in- deed. span coulu, AOl a tH4lu, anu Spain may be deeply alarmed, with jus tice, for the safety of the Philippines, threatened to necessity by and enor- nous change in the political situation in the Far east. And we are not absolute ly certain that Chili, which very nearly sold her fleet to China, which has all manner of queer relations with Pekin through her need for imported labor, and which is arming for some purpose or other at a prodigious rate-probably for the conquest of Patagonia, and a seat to be thereby secured on the Allan tic-might not be tempted by great of fers to intervene on a coast which she can reach before the Japanese fleet would be ready to destroy her.-Lon- don Spectator.

The London Graphic, in it's recent summing up of the half dozen success ful novels of the year, includes with Du Maurier's "Trilby," Hall Gaines "Manxman," Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes, "The Heavenly Twins" and Ships That Pass in The Night" Mrs. E, Burke Collins "A Modern Heather. D
 Speaking of this last work of our distinguished southern author, the Graphic says
 ''What George w. Cables writings are to the Creoles of New Orleans, Miss Murfree to the rough strata of human ity among the Tennessee mountains and Gertrude Atherton to California; Mrs. E. Burke Collins are to the Aca- dans of the Louisiana Pine Lands, In her latest work Mrs Collins has struck a new vein in literature, opening to the novel reading world a vision of the real life of the Acadians of the back woods, among the wild, scarcely known region of the bayous and swamps of Louisiana"
 Besides her novels she contributes each week short stories, sketches, etc, to the prominent magazines and to a great variety of other publications.

 Paine's celery compound is found to best supply the great need of studi- ous, sedentary people. It's extensive use by brain workers, both men and women, suffering from sleeplessness, indigestion, or other effects of a defi- cient nerve force, shows its ability to feed tired. emaciated, nervous tissues. Nothing else has ever possessed any, thing like the power of Paine's celery compound to restore healthy nervous tone to the entire body and to thor oughly cleanse the blood School teachers, professional men, newspaper men, ministers, public officials, men whose daily outlay of vitality, because of hard, trying, anxious work, is ex- cessive, find renewed strength, not only of the nerves, but, through their healthy action, of the entire body, in Paine's celery compound Its use shortly dispels headaches, rheumatic pain, dyspepsia, heart trouble, general debility and languor, and all other outward signs of the grave mischief that comes from disordered nerves and impure blood.

Aaron French, chairman of the
French spring works of Pittsburg, is
said to be the pioneer manufacturer Of
steel springs for ears and locomotives.
Away back in the SOS, says the Pitts
burg Post Mr.. French came from the
East and started a small factory in an
old wooden building which stood on
Penn avenue. near where the ST. James
Hotel now stands The first springs
made were for buggies and carriages,
and it was not till long after the rail
roads We're in active operation that
steel springs for cars and locomotives
came into general use. In the first
rude shop that Mr.. French constructed
there We're no machine tools, all the
work being accomplished with sledges
and hammers, such a thing as a drop
forge or a steam hammer having never
been thought Of The first freight car.
ON the railroads of this country werl
without springs. but after q while the
idea of using q large solid ball of india
rubber suggested itself TO- some inyen-
tive genius. and after that the rubber
business received a great impetus as
it was found that the solid balls of 'cd
gum, as lt was called. would make the
ears ride easier. Old railroad men cai
remember how. when box got hot am
began 20 burn. the flame communicate
to- the car gum and created smoke
and smell that was enough TO drive the
raiumeu mad.
These balls of rubber made the cars
bounce terribly on q rough track, but
they obyiated the solid jolts which
would have demolished the machinery.
and were consequently very useful I'm
their day The first steel springs for
ears were not much OF an Improvement
but gradually they were adjusted so
as to meet the requirements OF the rail-
road service. and soon crowded the
rubber ball springs ont of use. although
many of the ear gum balls were seen
rs late as 1875, and it is said that on
some of the roads I'm the Southwest they
are I'm use at the present day. The Old
shop near the Union Station disappear
ed long ago, but it was the beginning
of an important industry, and many of
the old residents can remember hear
ing the noise of the hammers and seeing
the smoke rising from the forge. which
was famed 10y a rude old-fashioned
leather bellows.

The Local Railroads arc Busy just now

The local railroad men report that
business in all departments is on the
increase and that they have almost as
much as they can handle properly with
their present equipment and if the trat-

sary for them to increase their rolling
stock and power equipment.
The b. & o. is doing an immense
trade in shipments of coal for the lake
and are handling anywhere from 100 to
200 cars of coal and coke a day. The
most OF the coal handled by them comes
rom the mines at Finleyville and other
points along their Wheeling and Pitts
burg division. Their passenger BUSH
ness is also picking up considerably
and their trains are well filed with
travellers daily.
The Panhandle and other roads

passenger business is picking up Won
