Trinity's Clock on a snree

Old Trinity's clock, which is usually a trustworthy timepiece, went wrong on Friday, and for two days its antics made the Wall street men rub their eyes and try to recall where they had been the night before. The hands seemed to have tired of their hum- drum round and got frisky. On Sat urday morning they jumped from Il o'clock to 11:15 in less than a second, and then they swung to 11:45, where they paused for moment. Then they advanced until they pointed to 12 o'clock. The subsequent proceedings attracted general attention down town, and when the hands pointed to II 30 and the clock struck there was ap- propriate language used. Trinity's clock Is one of the most conspicuous things in the lower part of the city, and its accuracy is seldom questioned.- New York Sun.

We'll and truly says the Natchez Democrat: eff the farming people of the South would raise all their own meat, which they have as many facili- ties for doing as those of the West, who produce this article for Southern consumption, our people down here would be measurably independent whether cotton was high-priced or not. The past two years has demonstrated that five-cent cotton can be made at some little profit, and if the output should be so curtailed that the prices of the staple would not go below six, and half and seven cents, according to the demand, our cOttOn-producing friends would soon again be on top,' just as they used to be in ante bellum days, when it was the height of every body's ambition to be a cotton planter own lot of slaves and live on the best the land afforded. If our producers would only grow their own foodstuffs, for both man and beast, which they can easily do, they could make their cotton a surplus crop, sell it as they choSe, and derive living profit from it, whatever might be the condition of the market The South has too long been dependent on the West for her meat and other fOOdstuffs necessary to make cotton at loss, but those of that section have to some degree already felt the new departure of a portion of our people in raising much of their own corn and not little of their own meat. If we persevere in this direction, which we can very readily do, we will In time become entirely Independent of that section, and it is not only possible but probable that the West would be send ing to us for the articles of consump- ton that she has been so long supply
 ing us at profit that has helped to build up her greatness and grandeur"

A Cincinnati gentleman related to an Enquirer reporter that one night the late William H. Vanderbilt told him how the old Commodore had ostra- cized him, both for the reason that he did not think him possessed of any business tact and that he had married against his wishes. Mir. Vanderbilt said that the Commodore told him he could live on farm that he owned on Staten Island, and that that was all he would do toward his support. Some time after that, when their circum- stances were unusually poor and they were having a decided struggle for a living, the son went into his fathers office. During the conversation that ensued the old gentleman inquired of ! the son how his farm was doing. The latter replied that the crop was not good, and the farm seemed to need fertilizing. Well" said the Commo- dore, there Is lot of horse refuse at my stable" Well, 1 can't get it, be- cause have no money" said the son. Well, 1 will give you a load-only one," and he wrote out an order upon his stableman for the one load. The next day the Commodore went to his place and was surprised to see the en- tire collection had disappeared. Where has that gone?' he asked of his stable hand. "Why, William H. took it" But he only had an order for one load" That's all he took" "Why, what did he haveT "A hatboat." William H. upon getting the order had secured the assistance of one of the flatboats used a great deal by Staten Islanders, and had had 1t taken up back of the old mans place, and all of the refuse was loaded on to it. This seemed to open the old mans eyes, for a day or two after that he paid the first visit he had in months to his sons residence, and soon after that his son was ordered to the city, where he ever afterward lived.

The Royal William.

4 tablet was erected two or three years ago in the great hall of the Par liament Buildings, Ottawa, comment Orating the fact that the Royal Will jam, built in Canada in 1883 by James GOndle, was the first vessel which crossed the Atlantic propelled entirely by steam. In ISIS a ship called the CuracOa is stated to have made the voyage from HelvOetsluis, in Holland, to Surinam and Curacoa, occupying thirty-twO days on the voyage, in eIev- en of which she was under steam. In CT built by Lord COchrane, crossed the Atlantic. A year later a vessel named the Savannah crossed from the port of that name to London; but owing to the wood that she carried for fuel running short, she was compelled to cover the greater part of the distance by the aid of her sails. The successful inaugura- ton, however, of transatlantic steamer is due to the Great Western steamer. built for the Great Western Steamship Company by ]. K. Brunei. The Great Western was PIP feet long, 35 feet inch beam, and registered 1,34O tons Her engines were of 40 horse power The Great Western started from BriS tol on Sunday, the Sth of April, 1886 and completed her voyage across the Atlantic in fourteen days, arriving at New York on the 23d of April, the same day as the Sirius, which had started four days before her.

Its remoteness from everything was l the reason of the factory being located l there. 4 branch railroad runs into the property connecting with the principal railroads and the Delaware River. By these means the commodity is shipped through the country and to the sea- 1 ports.
 l The factory spreads over a mile of swamp land and is nothing more than l three-Score of wooden buildings, one story in height and not very securely ' built. For the most part they look for all the world like the rundown negro cabins of the South and are just about as handsome. They have one modern appliance, however, and that Is an at tachment for depriving lightning of its powers.
 None of these shanties Is very close to the other. Plenty of open space Is a necessity when tens of thousands of pounds of dynamite are always lying around. Commercial prudence ac- counts for the cheap and scattering look of the factory. Experience has taught the owners that a single big building would be a rash enterprise. Explosions occur once in a while, no matter how carefully they are guarded against, and 1t is an easy matter to replace the shanty.
 A more potent reason is the protec- ton it affords to the work people. Were all the business concentrated in one building and an explosion occur in any one department, the shock would cause instantaneous upheavals through every one in the place.
 Several hundred people are employed in the factory, including a dozen wo- men. Each and every one of them fully realizes the danger of their calling. and they exercise the greatest caution ill performing their work. There are certain rules formulated by the com- pany which they must obey, and this they are only too glad to do. One is that no matches, firearms or explosives of any kind must be carried on the per son. Another is that no iron or steel pegs can be worn in the shoes. Wooden pegs are permissible, because they are safe.
 This latter rule was formulated some years ago after one of the workmen had stepped on a tiny piece of dyna- mite, the nails of his shoe causing it to explode. The shock caused quite a quantity of the stuff on one of the work tables to go off, the shanty was blown up and there were some fatalities

1t Is mixed with the prepared raw ma terial, principally sawdust.
 When the coalition has been effected the result is loose dynamite, looking for all the world like brown sugar. It is conveyed to another building, called the packhouse, where 1t Is stuffed into the cartridges. The loose dynamite Is placed in a dampened trough on damp table and the men fill the long narrow tubes with the stuff, using wooden scoops. Great care Is taken that none of 1t drops on the floor, as a happening of that kind might be the preliminary of big disaster. In this room the cart ridges are packed for shipment.
 The women in the factory are en- ployed in a little house given over to making the paper caps for the cart ridges. AS there Is no danger about this work, machinery Is employed to some extent and as a result only dozen women are employed.
 As little finished dynamite is kept on the ground as possible. Stock Is never maintained. The dynamite Is shipped off as rapidly as 1t Is made into cart ridges and the burden of watching 1t passes on to others.

Why Snow Is Wh te.

The pure white luster of snow Is due to the fact that all the elementary col OTIS of light are blended together In the radiance thrown off from the surface of the crystal. It is quite possible tC examine the individual snow crystals in such a way as to detect these sev- eral colorS before they are mingled to- gether to constitute the compound i'm pression of whiteness upon the eye The soft whiteness of the snow Is also In some degree attributable to the large quantity of air entangled amid the frozen particles. Snow is composed of a great number of minute crystals more than a thousand distinct forms of which have been enumerated by va riOus observers. These crystals and prisms reflect all the compound rays of which white light consists. Sheets of snow on the ground are known to reflect beautiful pink and blue tints under certain angles of sunshine, and to fling back so much light as to be painful to the eyes.

Most Blase Man,

Another of the pretty sisters of the Queen of Wurtemberg is soon to mar ". The betrothal is announced of Princess Adelaide of Schaumburg- Lippe to Prince Ernest of Saxe-Alten- burg, the heir preSumptive to the sover- eign duchy of that name. The reigning duke has no male issue and the heir to the throne is his only brother, MoritZ, father of Prince Ernest Prince Mo ritz, who Is about CT, is called ''the most blase man ill Europe" and all though in perfect physical condition, stays in bed for weeks at time. simply because, to use his own words, there was nothing worth getting up for" Under the circumstances it is probable that when his elder brother, the duke. who is reported very i'll, dies, he VII abandon his rights of succession b his only son on the ground that it would De ''too much of a bore" to reign.

The eSoteric education of the vo- men of San Francisco does not seem to have reached that lofty plane where they can be intrusted safely with the scintillating presence of such Hindoo seers as Brahmacharin Bobhabiskshu MT. Bob, etc, was in the act of address ing the women's congress when the Limitations of his auditors were re vealed to him and through him to tbe world. The OffenSe which the Hindoo seems to have regarded as most seri Ous was the pulling of his flowing gown of silk by some woman who ob- 5ected to his arguments. It provoked him to attack his auditors in his native tongue and then in fairly good English. and caused a scene of wild confusion. In the midst of which the Hindoo shout ed out: ''I do like a hero: I will be brave" and then disappeared. The re- port adds that he was escorted to the furnace-room by his friends and was "let out into the street through the coal hole" It is apparent that San Fran cisco is no place for genius like Brahmacharin Bob, etc, who is forced to show his heroism and bravery by climbing out of coal hole.
