SOME MORE IMPRESSIONS.
Swede's Early Gained Ideas of
Affairs i'm America.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser)
A young man came to this country from
Sweden two years ago, and when he was
asked on the day of his arrival whether
he knew trade he said:
The editor of a newspaper in my town
will print my letter from New York.
DO you know English?' asked his fell
low countryman who had been in America
several years.
NO, but I expect to learn it in a very
short while. Besides. there are so many
know German pretty we'll
His first letter, which h sent about
three months after he set foot on AmeTi-
can SOIL read in part, as follows:
New York is a lively city but it is
badly governed, and the principles Of lib
erty Of which the Yankees boast are vio-
lated on every step. To think of a noble
people like the Irish, whose son, Charles
Parnell. so nobly fought for the rights of
men-to think OF a worthy people like
them being downtrodden and debarred
from the rights of citizenship under the
Stars and Stripesi Why, even the hum
blest Office of policeman is denied them.
Nor are they allowed to keep liquor saloons

There is a political organization in this
city which is called Tammany Hall, after
the great Italian singer, Tamagno, so its
doors are closed TO all persons Of irish
descent. The president of this orgauiza-
tion is an English lord, said to be q cousin
OF the Prince OF Wales. His nome de
plum Is Richard Croker. He is a highly
educated man. but very eccentric and con-
sentative. He delivers ali his speeches in
Latin.
The Capital OF the United States is a
city called Washington, and as the name
OF everything in America is based on the
name Of some great person. this city owes
its designation to the great general who
served under Columbus in his wars with
the Shareholders of the Southern States.
Public interest is at present concentrated

THE WALL OF PEKIN.
Barrier to an Entrance
Into the Tartar city.
OFrom the London Engine,r.)


The walls OF the Tartar City are Of N
average height of fifty feet, but portions Of
the north wall reach the height OF 81 feet
Their average width is about 10 feet, but
they have been built so irregulITly that in
places a width of 81 feet is found, in others
a width of only % feet. The outer face OF
the wall is perpendicular, while its inner
face Slopes in some places very consider
ably. Parapets are erected on both inner
ard outer faces OF the wall that on The
latter being loop-holed and erenelIated- At
Intervals OF about 90 or so yards are large
buttresses, every sixth being OF much
larger size than the others; the smaller
ones are about 10 feet to 20 feet square.
Part Of the inner brick lining having fallen
away from the north wall, IN opportunity
was afforded OF observing its construction.
Near the gates the walls are occasionally
faced with stone. but in other parts by i'm
mense bricks, which bear a strong resem-
b!aEce TO stone. The space between the
facing5 is filled UP, first by solid fOunda-
tiOn Of concrete of some 10 feet IN depth,
then by layer of well rammed earth, an
other layer OF concrete. and another OF
earth succeed. the latter being paved with
large blocks OF granite which form the ter
replein- The earth to fill in the wall was
taken from the ditch which surrounds the
city. The concrete resisted all the efforts

He Missed Omar Khayyam

From the Omaha World-Herald.
 You should have gone with me to hear the Persian Garden dear" chirped Mrs. Bird when she found her husband still at home the night of that concert, and he looked as if he had smoked too many strong cigars in her absence.
 "Hunph! I've sworn off from Persian and Egyptian and all sorts of gardens since the Midway closed"
 But this would have interested you" she asserted. "It was oriental in sentiment and music and so poetic. Omr Khayyam must have written it to please some mems club. Didn't you ever hear the titles of some of the songs and recdtatfons?'
 ''No; what were they?" he asked with some show of languid interest.
 "I can't remember but two,'' replied hds wife musingly. "One was The Earthly Drinks Men Set Their Hearts Upon.' and the other was The Bruised Mint That From Our Cups We Throw"
 What's that? Can't we g, tomorrow night?''
 NO, indeed, sir. This was one night only. Your chance is gone until next winter

 This particular Smith is a widower who has married a charming young wife half his age and decides to spend his honeymoon at home. Members of both families suddenly appear to see how they are getting on, and among them are sev- eral who come only to make life burden to MT. Smith," He has a maiden sister, and Mrs. Smith has an aunt of the mother in-law stripe who starts in to run the house.
 Mrs. smith's' brother in college ap- pears with bride, with whom he has just eloped, and a certain aged gentleman who had known "Smith" comes to get ac- quainted with Mrs. Smith," One of these, a German count, makes desperate love to her, mistaking her for the daughter of the old maid sister of Smith" By mistake Smith meets his wifes maid and kisses her. under the impression it is his wife, and the situations soon develop as much sor- row for the new Mrs. smith, as for 'Mr Smith," To give these details affords no idea whatever of the authors clever man ner in working them into uproarious cli- maxes of humor, and the task cannot De attempted at all, for at these moments the audience Is convulsed with laughter

would be found to follow Every one would have the greatest incentive to do his best, an incentive not offered where work comes to one simply of the momentum of pre- viously acquired reputation. The most con- scientious of us are prone to rest upon rep utation previously acquired, and stop short of what we might do under more stimulat- ing conditions. To be thus is to be but hu- man.
 It is now, it is said, intended to unveil a staff of plaster model the Fourth of July. Why mot let it. be placed as an ephe- neral work, to serve an occasion, and then if 1t is, after a time, not found to be up to the requisite standard, give the American sculptors chance through open and justly ordered competition, to see what they can do? It is possible if the commission were to ask its experts for an opinion they would be found in entire agreement with this sug- gestion, as would doubtless the public sen- timent of the country, which is appreciative also of a spirit strong enough in justice and truth to admit a mistake and repair ill con- sidered action
 In any event. the work this commission has projected, will, in all human proba- bility, be in evidence when the most dis tinguished of its members shall have been relegated to the dim perspective of an in conspicuous historical niche. And there is time still for deliberation.

NO PAIN, TRIF LING EXPENSE.
A Simple, Harmless Remedy for the
 Cure of Piles

A Simple, Harmless Remedy for the
 Cure of Piles
 A person contracts a cold, pneumonia. rheumatism and pieurisy from exposureS dyspepsia and liver troubles from dietary orrors and the cause of most diseases are1 easily traceable, but although piles and rectal troubles are as common as any of these, the cause Is obscure.
 Violent exertion. as in lifting, sometimes produces them and a sedentary occupation is by some supposed to be a predisposing cause, but as a rule piles and rectal troubles appear without apparent provocation. -
 There many pile salves and ointmentss which give temporary relief and when these fail, the patient, If he can afford the ex4 pense and is willing to take the risk has, resource to surgical operation But there is one remedy which gives immediate rel lief, and the regular use of which will bring about a permanent cure, and that Is the well known Pyramid Pile Cure. | In long standing cases the Pyramid haa' proven to be the only cure except a dan gerous and exceedingly painful surgical op- eration, and its advantages over any kind of operation are many, as 1t is painless, causes no interference with daily oceupa- tiOn, and being in the form of suppository is always convenient and ready for use.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure is an effective combination of soothing oils and 'antiseptic acids. It contains no cocaine nor nerve de- stroying opiates. and unlike most pile salves contains no bi-chloride of metcury nor any poisonous injurious drug of any kind
 All druggists sell the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents for a complete trea tment of the suppositories.
 A little book on cause and cure of piles will be mailed free by addressing Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich.

 In this instance. which is but one of many which has, and Is being sadly mis-
 managed at this time, the experts claim to have had nothing to do with the selection of the young sculptor said now to have this work under way. |, If the statement made that no contract has been given is Correct, 1t is to be hoped the expert committee may recommend that
 the matter be open to general competitions
 Such action would subject MT. Bartlett to no greater injustice than that to which Mir.
 Barnard and other sculptors, who gave their time to this. work in its earlier stages 4without compensation, have been compelled ito submit. There will be an abundance of money, however, wherewith'to compensate MT Bartlett for whatever work he may do. and enough left to secure for the per- Ananent representation of the American fAople in France, a production which, if not indeed worthy of us, shall be at least rRpresentative of the best we are capable of at this time
