further printing for the State and will
furnish no more stationery after the

to appropriate sufficient money to pay
for the work, and as the State already
owes Mr.. Donnally $4,000 he is I'M

numberless honest obligations-we
don't blame him for not trusting II

The shortage in the Cuban sugar
crops is estimated at 100000 tons. Al
most all the sugar plantations on the IS
land of Cuba have been devastated by
the insurgent forces, who hope thereby
to cut off the large revenue the Span
ish government enjoys from an export
tax on that product. With such a
deduction from the visible supply, we
may expect further advance in the
price of that useful article.

What have become Of the manuscripts
Of Dickens earlier works? Some light
is thrown ON the question in Mr.. Shoot
ing's paper in The Strand. The manu-
script Of "Our Mutual Friend" was Civ
sn. as is well known, by the autbor TO
his friend Mr.. Dallas, and subseque tly
bought by Mr.. Childs, the publisher,
of Philadelphia. The manuscript of
"Pickwick' was. Miss Georgina Ho-
garth states, never preserved in its en-
tirety, though stray fragments Lave
turned mp, and are dispersed about the
world, but it was not given by its au-
thor to any one. 81 don't think, adds
Miss Hogarth. she attached much i'm
portance TO his manuscripts in those
early days" Portions of the original
manuscript Of "Oliver Twist figure
among the numerous interesting fac
SMILES which accompany the article.
They are taken from fragment of the
manuscript still remaining. which be-
gins with the twelfth chapter and ends
with what is now called the forty third
,hapter. wherein is shown how the
Artful Dodger got into trouble" coli

hand than were most of the later works.
The manuscript shows some notable va

Emerson aud the Guides.

The poet Emerson was never credited
with being a handsome man, though
people who knew him saw in his face
his beautiful character and forgot to dis
criminate between him and his appear

pliers" were in camp at Follensbee pond,
in the Adirondacks, Emerson was one of
the party, and his devotion to his stud

several Of the guides great waste of
time, which might better have been
spent in hunting and fishing.
There was, however, guide, Steven
Martin, who became perhaps the most
noted that the Adirondacks ever pro-
duced. and who recognized in Emerson
something of his real worth and upon
whom the poet made great impression.

Byzantium, to use that which has been
the ordinary name with all Greek writers
from Herodotus down to Paspates in our
own day, Is one of the oldest cities of Eu-
rope-historically speaking II we neglect
mere prehistoric legend, little younger
than Athens or Rome. Like them, Byzan-
tium appears to have been founded on a
prehistoric fort. Hardly any OF the ancient
towns of Italy and southern Europe can
show so authentic and venerable a record.
There Is no reason to doubt that Byzan-
tium has been historic city for some
1850 years. During the whole of that pc
riod, with no real break in her life, It has
been the scene of events recorded in the
annals of mankind; ii has boon fought for
and held by mon famous in world history
IL has played substantial part In the
drama of civilization. So singular n So
quence of historic interest can hardly be
claimed for any city IN Europe, except for
Rome herself.
For nearly 1000 years before 1t became
the capital Of an empire Byzantium was a
Greek city Of much Importance, the prize
of contending nations, and, with striking
prescience even then, chosen by phil
osophic historians for its commanding po-
sition and immense capabilities. After the
lapse of nearly 1000 years Byzantium be-
came Constantinople, the center of the
Roman empire. Since then 1t has been the
capital city of an empire for exactly 1864
years, and that in manner and for pc
Rod such as no other imperial city has
been in the annals of civilized man. There
Is no actual break, although, for the dy-
nasty of the Paleologi, from the Latin
empire down to tho capture Of the Otto
mans, the empire outside the capital has a
shrunkon and almost phantom dominion.
But it Is yet true that for ], 564 years Con-
stantinople has ever been, and still Is, tho
sole regular residence of emperors and sui
tans, the sole and continuous center OF
civil and military administration, the SUI
preme court of law and justice and the Of
floial center OF the imperial religion. Fort

A $40 Street Car Ticket.

A Baltimore lawyer came near paying
SO for ride in street car u fow days
ago. With his wife he got on one of the
City and Suburban cars. Before the con-
ductor called for the fares the lawyer 8
wife handed to her husband n coupon clip
ped from Virginia Midland railroad bond
and valued at $40. This was printed In red
ink and looked like the CIR tickets used
on the City and Suburban road, except
that it was somewhat larger. The lawyer
slipped the coupon in his pocket and for
got all about 1t.
When the conductor called on the law
YER for fares, he took two tickets from his
pocket and gave them up. Just before he
reached tho corner where be was to leave
the car he noticed that the conductor was
counting his tickets preparatory to punch
Ing them. One ticket appeared to DO a
little longer than the others, and the law
yer Idly watched the conductor until that
particular ticket was reached. AS the con-
ductor was about to punch hole In It the
lawyer realized that 1t was his wifo's cou-
pom, and, with yell that startled the 9TH

grabbed the hand of the conductor before
tho little punch could get In its work.
Explanations were made, and the cou-
pom was exchanged for car ticket, with
