Ose of oar American Licyclo
nien, Thomas Stevens, who has
been making the tour of the world
'with his wheel, has gained from
the English Royal Geographical
society a recognition of his African
attempt to reach Stanley. Our
American wheelmen lead the world
in their lioe.
John' L. Sullivan while on a
BDree. recently, on Broadway New
York, caught flight of a sister of
charity, and made quite a public
demonstration in gelling her to ac-
ceDt a fifty dollar donation. Prob
ably he roundly cursed hiuvelf
: when sober enough to take in the
aitnsttion . over the loss !:f the
money.. '
The strange story told in regard
to the removal in ee-rret, by
friends, of the body mi President
Garfield, from the vault in which
. it lay to a private vault, for protec
tion from the grave robbing ghouls,
reads like romance, and is not a
recommendation -..for the honest
I patriot isnv of the American people
But then cupidity will create even
grave robber;.
Thr South Carolina man who
ehot his wife an.l her uncle, and
when arrested nonchalently re
marked to the officers tiat it was
nnlv a family affair, seemed to
have very peculiar ideas upen the
duties and responsibilities of indi
viduals in their relation to the
family. Probably his family affair
will not linger within the sacred
precincts of the family. The state
will evidently take a hand in it.
Idaho, in her application for
state-hood, seems to be fortified
with all the; facts and figures to
back up her claim for the position.
While the territory grew slowly in
tho early days of its organization,
. it has now laid the foundations for
a rich and prosperous common
wealth. Her population last year
was estimated to be over 117.000,
and the senate committee expresses
the belief that within ' one eir
after her admission as a state these
figures will be increased to 150,000.
Tiierb seems to be a slight dif
ference between the administration
of justice in this country and in
F.nrone. and in some instances the
example from oyer the water might
at least be considered, and perhaps
a moral extracted that could pro-
fitaV.y be applied on this side. For
instance here is M. Corvillain,
wh se cartridge f -tory exploded
.in X iit.ivtrrv n. f;w months ai:o and
caused enormous damage. He
was convicted of criminal careless
ness and sentenced for four years
and six months and to pay a tine
of 2."0;) francs. It wr.s commonly
supposed that he had got oil' pretty
easy, but M. Corvillain had the
ten. oily to enter an appeal, me
Ap-H-late Court has not only
aflirme I tte original sentence, hut
added eighteen months to the term
of iinpiisonmcnt. It is evident
tlinl M. Corvillain didn't know a
good thing when he s.iw it, and
the general verdict will probably
be, "Served him ri:h!."

Wk measure a variety of articles
by the yard, but what that yard
practically is would be a hard mat
ter to e.'ucidate, it may be said in
answer that a yard fs simply an
arbitrarv standard which tradition
says is based upot. the length of
the arm of Henry VIII. At pres
ent tlie yard is the distance between
two marks upon a certain bar, kept
in .the Tower of London, and if it
should be destroyed the exact
standard could never be replaced.
To avoid this uncertainty, and ob
tain a fixed and unvarying stand
ard, the French, in the last cen
tury, made an accurate measure
ment of a quadrant of the earth's
circumference, and, taking the
ten-millionth part of this distance,
gave it the name of metre, and
adopted it as the standard of
length. The length, which is
equal to about 39 37 inches, is now
in universal use on the continent
of Europe, and is authorized as a
legal standard in nearly all civil-
izod countries. Considerable dis
cussion has arisen as to w hether
the original measurement was
perfectly accurate, and it teems
probable that there was a small
error, so that if the standard metre
now kept in Paris should bo de
stroyed, a remeasurement of the
quadrant of the earth would not
give us exactly the same metre.
However, the error in any case is
a very minute one, and the chances
arc very small that the original
standard will ever be de'r.yed, to
say nothing of the fact that the
numerous copies distributed among
the various nations of the world do
not appreciably differ from it.
