antagonist.
Considering that but for the MONT
or the Merrimac might have ravaged
the north Atlantic coast, destroying
every Union blockading ship she came
across, and that European nations
would gladly availed themselves of
such exploits to declare our blockade
non effective, it is not going too, far
is say that Worden and the Monitor
saved the cause of the Union.
The encounter, irrespective of it's
effect on our national fortunes, will
ever be. memorable in the naval an
nails Of the world. BY destroying the
Cumberland and the Congress, the
Merrimac had demonstrated that
wooden navies must be deemed things
of the past. The iron-clad had only
to select her victims. the next days
encounter demonstrated the superb
GRITTY Of the Monitor type over the

not been taken away from it, bun
rather has been reaffirmed by subse-

Books at a Lightning Speed.

A large bookbindery may have a ca
pacity of 10, 900 books day. The re-
sources of some Of these binderies are
wonderful. There is an instance on rec
ord where a publishing house took an
order on Monday for a cloth covered
12mo. volume Of $50 pages, and actual
ly shipped 1900 copies of the book on
the following Wednesday. The type
was set by machinery for the entire $50
pages before work stopped Monday
night. Electrotype plates were made SO
rapidly that on Tuesday morning sever
al printing presses were set in motion.
In the meantime covers were made in
the bindery, and by Wednesday morn
ing the binders had the book in hand.
Two thousand volumes were completed
that day, and the edition of 10. 600 was
entirely out Of the way before Saturday
night. In modern bookbinding machiI-
cry, as in the production Of printing
presses, America leads the world, and
no other nation Can equal it in the
speed and general effectiveness with
which all branches Of the industry are
carried out. Literary News.

Saved by Their Whee1barrows.

Speaking about storms, said Cap
tain William Dunbar Jenkins of the
Arkansas Pass Harbor company, lone
hears all sorts of stories about the cy
clones which have from time to time
ravaged the gulf coast. It was in 1886
that very severe storm blew in the
vicinity of RocEport, and it was during
the blow that several miles Of the sand
and shell embankment reared by Colo
mel Uriah Lott, the builder of the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass road, was
washed into the bay. Colonel Lott en-
ployed a large number of MeXicans, and
many of these poor fellows were camped
on the embankment. When morning
dawned, after the cyclone, scores Of
them were missing and it was thought
drowned.
LAS a matter of fact and of consider
able surprise, not single Mexican lost
his life. For days afterward they could
be seen coming across the sand marsh,
each man wheeling his wheelbarrow.
When the men realized that they were
doomed to risk a watery grave, every
son of gun of them grasped his wheel
barrow and hoated away in it. The bar
rows all grounded as the water subsid
ed, and the Mexicans made for the coast
and in the direction of what remained
of the embankment. Work was not
again resumed on the roadbed, but large
sections Of the work are still noticeable
along the bay coast. New Orleans

THE MONITOR'S COMMANDER.

Rear Admiral Worden, who died in
Washington recently, had the distinc-
ton of being the first naval officer
who in command of an armorclad de-
feated another armorclad in action.
His services to the Union in that fierce
grapple with the Merrimac in Hamp-
ton Roads, March 9, 1862, entitled him
to the gratitude of his countrymen
forever. The Monitor did not capture
the Merrimac, but the latter, badly
mauled, skunk back to Norfolk and
was subsequently destroyed by the
Confederates to prevent her falling
into the hands of our navy. The
Monitor was SO far the victor in that
contest that after its conclusion she
alone blockaded the Merrimac. That
huge but clumsy vessel never dared

Siberia's Snow Flower.

Travellers in Siberia tell of the Won
derful flower that grows there and
which blooms only in January, when
the winter is at its height The bios
som has something of the characteris-
tic of a morning glory, lasting only
a single day. The flower, when it opens,
is star shaped Its petals are of the same
length as the leaves and about half an
inch in width. On the third day the
extrenaities of the anthers, which are
five in number, show minute, glisten-
ing specks, veritable vegetable dia
monds, about the size of pins head.
These are the seed of the flower. A Rus
sian nobleman named Anthoskoff took
a number of the seeds to ST. Petersburg.
They were placed in pot of snow and
frozen earth. On the coolest day of the
following January the miraculous flow
er burst through its icy covering and
displayed its beauties to the wondering
scientists. The plant has been very APP
propriately named 1.-The snow flower. -

Words of Hope for Weak Men.

Men with weakened powers and exhausted
vigor have been taught to believe that such
cases are hopeless. They lose all ambition
and give themselves upto despair. Their con-
dition may be tn e result of habits, or inGis-
cretions, or it may be to certain extent in
herited, but there is compensation in nature
and these ills are durable. Seek DR.. Greene,
"a Temple Place, Boston, Mass, or write him
folly. He has found the glorious remedies
that'redeem manhood and multitudes of men
testify to the wonderful recuperative powers
of the treatment of this great specialist. One
of his wonderful discoveries is the world
famed Nervura. The advice of your local
doctor you have found valueless, but the
worlds foremost physician tells you he can
cure you and restore you to usefulness He
will give you advice absolutely free. and your
case will be treated with inviolable conf
dence. Many men have been victims of cost
ly ex eriments and are skeptical, but the
broad statements of this eminent physician
can be tru. ted. Think what restored vitality
would mean to you and hesitate no longer.

THE SULTAN'S PAL.

General Miles says the rapidity with
which Turkey modified 100000 men
astounded Europe. Well may it have
done so. Europe has SO long glibly
characterized Turkey as the sick man,
that when the sick man arose, took
up his bed and walked into Greece
sword in hand, it lost even what pres
ence of mind its diplomacy had left it.
Even now it is doubtful fit has learn
ed the lesson of the sudden strength
an earnest faith and an equally earn
est purpose to fight for it will give
nation that seems decadent. Turkey
to the casual observer seemed mort
bund. All her public service save the
army appeared on the verge of col
lapse from sheer disorganization. A
challenge comes to.Turkey, the Powers
allow her to accept it, and she enters
the arena once more as fighting
power. Today her army dominates
and the Powers are governing Greece
in the interest Of the Porte.
What to do with Turkey that is still
capable of setting great armies in the
field is a task which they dread, but
cannot ignore. The eastern Question
has changed into the Eastern CUES
toner. If the Powers were united,
even tacitly united in an intention of
keeping Turkey within bounds, the
future would be troublesome enough,
but how much more than that it will
be is foreshadowed by the acceptance
by the emperor of Germany of a num-
Der of captured Greek cannon from
his ally, the sultan. There is no 9TH
er sovereign in Europe who would
debase himself SO far as to do this.
Not another crowned head would ac-
cept gift from the sultan taken from
the unfortunate Greeks. Their con-
truction of the necessity Of the hour
may keep them on friendly terms
with Turkey, but the emperor of Ger

GEN. GRANTS CHARACTERISTICS.

He was possessed of a moral and
every emergency in which he was
placed. He was calm amid excite
ment, patient under trials, sure in
Judgment, clear il foresight, never
depressed by reverses or unduly elat
ed by success. He was fruitful in OK
pedients, and had a facility Of re-
source and a faculty Of adapting the
means at hand to the accomplishment
of an end which never failed him. He
possessed an intuitive knowledge of
topography, which prevented him
from ever becoming confused as to
locality or direction in conducting
even the most complicated move
ments in the field. His singular self
reliance enabled him at critical juno
lures to decide instantly questions of
vital moment without dangerous de-
lay in seeking advice from Others,
and to assume the gravest response
bilities without asking anyone to
share them.
His habits of life were simple, and
he enjoyed physical constitution
which enabled him to endure every
form of fatigue and privation incident
to military service in the field. His
soldiers always knew that he was
ready to rough it with them, and share
their hardships on the march. He
wore no better clothes than they, and
often ate no better food There was
nothing in his manner to suggest that
there was any gulf between him and
the men who were winning his victo-
ries. He never tired of giving I'M
stinted praise to his subordinates. He
was at all times loyal to them. His
fidelity produced d reciprocal effect,
and is one OF the chief reasons why
they became SO loyalty attached to
him. He was never betrayed by sue
cess into Boosting of his triumphs.
He never moderated himself in bat
tie; he never overrated himself in

Century.

On the Sth day of October more
than 0,000 students were on the rolls
as members of the first Freshman
class of the Cosmopolitan University.
The confusion into which the plans
regarding the Cosmopcltan's educa
tional work were thrown by the re-
tirement of President Andrews in
order to meet the wishes of his friends
at Brown University, has been met
by the acceptance of the Presidency
by DIR. Eliphalet n. Potter. Presi
dent Potter has been at the head of
two great colleges for nearly twenty
five years. and brings 10 the work ex-
ceptional talents as an organizer and
man of broad culture and common
sense ideas. He is already at Irving
ton engaged in organizing his staff of
professors. The work of the Univer
sity has been grouped under fifteen
heads, covering the various branches
of knowledge. Each of these will be in
charge of professor. AS soon as the
task of selection is complete, the
students will be assigned their work
and the largest Freshman class in the
history of the universities of the
world will begin it's studies.
The extraordinary dimensions of
the class thus formed has opened the
eyes of the public to the Importance
in the gap in educational facilities
which the Cosmopolitan has underta-
ken to fill. Knowing that the appro-
priation made by the Cosmopolitan is
a limited one and that the entries are
far beyOnd the most Sanguine expect
ations, embarrassing the work by
their proportions, many professors
and other prominent men have already
made the offer. of advice and assist
ance without help.

The New York Central railroad
company has recently issued $780,
100000 of bonds, payable in 100 years,
with interest at 31a per cent. The
Chicago and North Western, Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul, Illinois Cen
trail and Lake Shore companies have
made similar refunding issues this
year. The aggregate of the bonded
debts Of the railways of this country
alone exceeds the amount of gold coin
in the world. 1t Is a common fallacy
of those who contend that the supply
of gold is insufficient to allow of world
wide use Of the gold standard to point
to these debts as proof that the sup
ply of gold is Inadequate to meet
them. But gold is never wanted for
them. When they mature they are
paid in kind. They are simply certif-
icates of a certain interest in the
properties. From now as long as
man nature is what it is there will be
people who prefer certain fixed and
small revenue in these properties
without management, and there will
be others who will prefer to take the
chances of profit and loss with man
agement, and these two classes nat
urally divide the ownership of railways
as bondholders and stockholders. To
figure up these bones and forecast the
amount of gold required on a given
day to meet them is an absurdity.
The gold unit uamed in them is simply
the standard by which the property
is measured.
