The special kilograms that the Re-
publicans from New York city send
out represent Tracy as sweeping ev-
erything into his ranks that lines up
in opposition to Tammany. This IS
altogether too rosy. The straw votes
published may not be absolutely ac-
curate, perhaps not even approximate
ly so, but they are indicative of very
different condition from that set forth
by the bulletins issued in the shape of
special kilograms to western papers
by Republican correspondents.

The trial trip of that submarine
wrecking boat recently construct
ed at Baltimore is represent
ed as eminently successful.
Those who were in her when submer2-
ed were not unpleasantly affected, had
plenty of air and light from the air
and electric light apparatus and con-
versed with their friends in the launch
alongside through the speaking tubes
without any difficulty. She would be
a daisy boat to plant torpedo against
the side of a hostile vessel.

Those Burmah natives are slick ar
lists. There is wood in that country
of a dark color that is very durable
and makes splendid sleepers for rail-
way construction. The English en-
gineers always contract for it for
railway lines, and as the wood is COM
paratively scarce the natives take in
ferior wood and dye it the regulation
color. There is not one of those orien-
tai nations that cannot cheat an Eng
lishman out of his eye teeth.

The railroads in Texas are not coin

where there is no suspension of traf-

about 100000 a month for the thirty
roads whose returns for September
are made the basis of the comparison.

That young khedive of Egypt who is
conspiring against Great britain is
not wise. He came to the throne by
the grace of the government of Great
Britain and he will come to grass by
not having a sufficient appreciation of
that fact to play into the hanis of
those who made and who have the
power to unmake him. He is not go
ing to wage successful opposition to
England by favor of the sultan of Tur-
key who is secretly backing him in bis

stolen by a man named Myers In the
hope of securing a reward After the
crime was committed he became 80
much alarmed that he never dared to
claim money from the family, and the
child reached the age Of seven years
under his care.
In 1888 Myers died, and for a year
his wife kept the boy with her. she
was greatly troubled in her conscience
and finally resolved to devise some
plan of returning the lad to his fam
lly. She feared to go directly to them
with her story, and by way of reach
ing them secured employment as DO
nestle in their household.
The Brittons were without a chilt
of their own, and when Mrs. Myer
suggested that they adopt her "son,"

with the man, but his only reply was
oaihs and a shower OF vlndictlve
bows on the poor beasts back. She
ordered her footman to take the club
i him, on which the costermonger
shouted for policeman and insisted
that the f6otman and ''the woman
should both be arrested-he for as
sault and his mistress for "aiding ant

coster in utter confusion and frlgh

In the fact that the vibrations Of the

means of microphones acting as inter

All the delicate and complex me-

with. The little electrical devices are
arranged on the crosspiece extending
over the strings. Upon this electric
magnets are placed, 30 IA to be only

Pressing down the key sends the
electric current into the corresponding
electro magnet. This attracts the mo

Interrupts the current and Herewith
