SCULPTOR 'ST. GAUDENS.
"fact Conrrrnlntr tlin DrilBiinr of tlio
Ni Lincoln Ktutun In ClilenRo.
Ah tlio lirst step in tlio resuscitation
of bculpturo was the abandonment of
the stilted imitation or third-rate Ro
man antiques, and tlio study of the
works of tho Italian Honnlssanco, it
vns a happy coincidence that Augus
tus St. Gaudens should have had much
such an apprenticeship as a Florentine
iiculptor of tho fifteenth century might
have had. St. Gaudens' father was of
Southern Franco; his mother was Irish.
Ho himself is a Now-Yorker, woll-iiigli
lrom birth - having boon brought to
this city from Dublin, his birth-place,
-while yet an infant. Ho was early
apprenticed to a Now York cameo
cutter, and faithfully sorved his time,
ami oven during tlio period of his
ntudy in Paris ho devoted half of bin
working hours to broad-winning in tho
nxereiso of ids trade. Ho attributes
much of his success to tho habit of
faithful labor acquired at this time,
and speaks of his apprenticeship as
"ono of tho most fortunate things that
evor happened to him." Perhaps one
may attribute to it, also, part of that
mystery of low-relief which is such a
noticeable element in his artistio equip
ment. In I8G8 lie went to Paris to bo
gin tho serious study of his art, and
after working for some timo in tho
Petite Ecolc, entered thu studio of
JoufTroy in tlio Ecole des lkaux Arts.
Tills was tho j oar of tho Universal
Exposition, and in that exposition ho
nvr tho ""Florentine Singer'' of Paul
Dubois, which had received tho medal
of honor two years before tho Salon.
This statue, in which tho very spirit
of Renaissance breathed again, must
titivo marked an epoch for him, as it
did for modern sculptors.
Many of tho brilliant sculptors of to
day were educated in tho studio of
JoufTroy; Falguiero and St. Marceau
bad left it shortly before St.
Gaudens entered it; Morel was
Ids fellow-student there, and he
thus became a part of tho young and
vigorous movement of contemporary
sculpture. H afterwards went to
Koine, and dually, returning to this
country, was given in a happy hour
thu commission for the Furragut statue
hi Madison Square. From tho timo

THE MATCH-MAKER.
A Woman Who Woulil 11 Unlmppr In a
IMacM Wlierx I'eople Do Not Mnrry.
Mrs. Hartmixum, before her mar
riage, had been very liko other young
women, so far as ono could see from
goneral observation, but sho was mar
ried hardly six months before the early
symptoms of tho match-making disease
discovered themselves. A month later
her ailment had developed itself com
pletely and witli unwonted virulence
From that timo to the day of her death
b!ic never was free from it.
Whether Mrs. Hartmixum's mania for
bringingsusccptiblo pctsonsof different
sex into propinquity was born of a de
sire to make others as happy as sho had
been during tho budding period of her
own and John Hartmixum's loves, or
whether it was intended as a tribute to
tho happiness of tlio marital state, of
whose blessings she unreservedly recom
mended nil humanity to partake, is not
positively known; but it could hardly
havo been tlio latter, for it inevitably
happened that no Sooner did she suc
ceed in getting two young persons
mutually interested than sho changed
Iter manner and did nil that sho could to
separate them. It would seem, thorefore.
that she considered courtship rather
than matrimony the climax of oar t hi v
bliss, and that, consequently, she en
doavored to prevent marriago whenever
she was able, not only because it was
something sho could not conscientiously
recommend, but also because the fewer
the wedding') tlio more hearts would
sho continue to have at her disposal for
the pursuit of lior favorito amusement.
It was tlio misfortune of George
Ready to be Mrs. Hartmixum's brother
her only brother. Had Providence
seen lit to bless Mrs. Hartmixum's
parents with several sons instead of
limiting its benefactions in that lino to
a single gift, it would have been a groat
relief to George. As it was. ho was the
onlv available material in the family
given Mrs. Hartmixum to work with.
and it followed naturally that sho
worked George for all ho was worth.
No young woman could como within
tlio purview of Mrs. Hartmixum but
that lady incontinently discovered that
tho voting woman was the very ono of
all her sex whom sho would choose for
a sister-in-law, nnd tho only woman on
tho footstool who could make brother
Goorgo hanny. Immediately, there
fore Mrs. Hartmixum sot about bring'
ing ) two young pcoplo togother.
Tho young woman who for tho timo
being happened to bo in tlio as
cendant was invited to tea, to
card parties, to meetings, to any
thing, in short, which gayo oppor
tunity for getting the young woman
and tho young man into each other's
company, and it usually happened, ami
apparently by merest accident, that the
young folk found themselves alone be
fore the occasion terminated. Even
when it was not convenient to have lior
brother at hand, Mrs. Hartmixum
would in nowise relax her attentions to
the party of the other part, but would
have lior near as often as she could and
always keep her as long as possible, in
order to sound in her ears tiio praises
of brother George. On the other hand,
when George was present and the
young woman not by, Mrs. Ilartmixuni
could talk of nothing but tho young
woman in quostion. Ho had her for
breakfast, for dinnor and for suppoi;;
ho was forced to eat her with ids food
and drink her witli his drink. Her
namo was in his ears as he went to bed,
that imply ho might dream of her
through tho night.
Rut lot it appear that tlio young
peoplo were beginning to care for one
another, prosto! Mrs. Ilartmixuni
would havo none of it Tho young
woman was out of her books iustauter.
Sho know her no more forever, anil all
her failings, roal or supposititious, were
paraded before George's eyes, that ho
might avoid that.young woman as lie
would a pestilence. This might seem
unkindiiess in Mrs. Hartmixum. It
would havo been, perhaps wore she
not always ready to make amends by
bringing forward some other young
woman who, if not all things to all
men, was all things to brother Georgej
until in iter turn sho became fond of
George and ho fond of her, or, which
amounted to tlio same thing, some
other young woman happened along;
for it was invariably tho last comer
who received countenance of Mrs.
Hartniixum, who was tlio pearl of groat
prico with which she would ornament
brother George's bosom.
And so witli all eligible young men
and young women. It was lior sole
pleasure in life to promote love. Sho
paired couples as nonchalantly as she
pared her nails, and a great (leal oft
ener. And though, as has already
been said, sho did not press a couple
on to matrimony, whole droves of cou
ples got there nevertheless for it was
not possible for Mrs, Hartmixum to
oversee all her work and tho clergy
of her town were indebted to her grout
lv for tho aid she .rendered them in
eking out a living from slender sti
pends. Mrs. Hartmixum has passed away.
There is no reason why l should not
wisli her well; therefore 1 eon not hope
tnat slio lias gone to mat place wuero
they neither marry nor are given in
marriage; for I know sho could never
bo happy there. lloston Transcript.

ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
DlnlntnrmtPtl Devotion Displayed by K!
plinnta nnd Other Creature.
That the lower animals have their
special friends, or show preferences as
to their companions, no observer can
doubt. In some cases, the friendship
is between two of tho samo tribe;
again, we find what are generally con
sidered the most antagonistic forms
united in bonds of good-fellowship,
and we see acts of devotion and self
sacrilicc that are almost identical witli
those that characterize tlio friendship
of human beings. It is needless to
say that the impulses arc much the
samo in all; some professing an in
terest that is actuated entirely by
greed, or "for pcrsonnl ends; while in
others it is unsellish.
Any ono who has visited the hord of
elephants owned by Mr. Rarnuin must
have noticed the laro dog that stood
by tho side of ono of the huge
pachyderms. To the visitor this
might havo seemed accidental; but
tho dog was always at its post b this
particular animal. If the dog wan
dered oft", tho elephant showed its dis
tress immediately by attempting to
follow; straining at the chain confined
to its ponderous feet, or throwing
aloft its trunk and uttering the shrill
whistle indicative of alarm, and only
resuming the monotonous swing of the
head when its companion returned.
Tlio elephant was often observed
caressing the dog, nnd, though the
latter always slept in the straw, some
times beneath its huge friend, it was
never stepped upon nor crushed.
W lien t lie elephant was let! out to go
through its task in the ring, tho dog
would begin to bark and endeavor to
join tho throng of performers; so that
it was perfectly evident that tlio
friendship was mutual.
In many of the works of old writers
nro found instances of such at aoh
monks between man and beast: .Elian
records a friendship between a little
girl, who sold flowers in the streets oi
Antiocli, and an elephant whom sin
was in thu habit of feeding. One ol
the elephants in the Rariium herd ex
liibited great interest in a littlo daugh'
ter of one of the attendants, holding
her upon its trunk, and in many ways
showing its affection.
In India the elephants are so trusted
tnat they are sometimes employed as
nurses, and havo been seen tending
their charges, lifting tliem gently back
whon they were disposed to stray
away. The natives stato that these
great animals have been known to die
of a broken heart when deprived of
certain keeper, and Lieutenant Shipp,
nn English olhcer of extensive expori
enco in tho East, gives a minute no
count of an elephant that died in what
was considered a lit of remorse nftei
having killed its keeper.
While attachment botween animal?
is everywhere to be seen, it is notuften
that we witness such acts of disinlc
esteil devotion as wo expect anion"
human beings. Mother-birds protect
their young in the face of every danger:
but it must be confessed that few ob
servers have seen animals go to tin
rescue of others without maternal 01
paternal incentive; out sucn cases art
not wanting.
Some years ago a Scotcli naturalist
wishing to obtain a gull tired at
flock, breaking tho wing of one which
came iliittering down, falling into the
ocean. At first the tloek were demoral
ized, and How wildly about, utterino
harsh cries, but a moment latin tliev
seemed to bo recalled to a senso of duty
by the struggles of their wounded com
rade. and two birds darted down,
seized it by the tips of its wings, then
rose and bore it awiry in triumph; for,
as may be supposed, the naturalist did
not lire, but permitted the rescue.
Here was friendship indeed; heroism,
in fact, as tho other birds alarmed by
the tiro faced the samo danger. Widt

An Old Miser's Wealth.

A FAMOUS EXPLORER.
The Career,
Achievement nnd Dentil ol
Vitus Jlelirlnp
It is now just twenty years since our
Government bought of Russia nil her
possessions on this continent. Sinco
that purchase Alaska lias beon made
familiar to us in tho reports of oluclals,
of scientific explorers, of traders and
of tourists. Tho earlier history of tho
Territory is full of interest, for it is
marked by undertakings of tlio most
intrepid daring and of lieroic advent
ure That was a bold plan that
directed from S Petersburg an ex
pedition across tlio north of Asia, tlio
building of vessels on the Eastern
toast, and tho discovory of n separate
continent on tho opposlto sido of tho
l'ncifie That plan was formed In tho
mind of Peter thu Groat, and it was
carried into execution by Ilehring,
whoso name has sinco been connected
witli tho sea and the strait winch lie
between tho continents.
Vitus Boliring (Beriiv;) was .1 Dane,
Ho was born at the villago of Horscn,
Jutland, in 1080. As a young man. ho
sailed in Danish vessels to thoEist
and West Indies. In 170G lie cnterod
tho service of Peter tlio Great, and was
assigned to the navy which had just
been built at Cronstadt. Tho appoint
ment of Behring to tho command of a
scientific expedition in tho Sea of
Kainscliatka was made January 2D,
1725. On tho 5th of February Behring
started from St. Petersburg, and three
days later his imperial master died
So dillicult was tho journoy overland
that it was not until 1 h summer of
the following year that
Behring,
with
tlio advance dctachim nt, readied the
Sea of Oehotsk. Behring then built
a boat to carry tho parly over tho sea.
Ho had brt light mon from Russia for
this purpose Tho craft was christened

it carried over to Kamchatka the ship
builders who were to build the vossol
intended for tlio great voyage.
Their ship-yard was established at
the mouth of the Kainscliatka river. Tho
next winter was spent in preparing
timbers for tlio vessel, and on the 20th
of July, 1728, it was ready for ihe
voyage. Threo years and a half had
gone bv sinco Behring and his party
had set out from St. Petersburg. Tho
Gabriel for that was the namo of tho
ship sailed northeast along tho coast
of Asitu On tho lOtli of August
tho Island of St, Lawronco was discov

suddenly to tho west. Behring had
proved that tlio continents wero sepa
rate. The party returned to tho ship
jard and wintered there On the 5th
of June, 1729, they left again on a
voyage of exploration, but wero un
successful, and Buhring ro turned over
land to S:. Pjtorsburg.
It was not until 1732 that proposals
wero made for another expedition.
Anna was now E npres', and sho was
ambitious to extend the boundaries of
Russia. Sho directed that special at
tention bo givou to tlio possibilities of
a northeast passage along the Amer

and trace it northward lo the strait he
had discovered. Tho plan gave Behring

TRAIN TELEGRAPHY.
The Moclineil System of Sending Mrsgngeg
From Moving Itttllrond Car.
At tiio invitation of tho Consolidated
Hallway Telegraph Company a large
party of elee ricians nnd others made a
trip upon the Lehigh Valley railroad to
inspect thu operation of the system of
train telegraphy in ue upon fifty-four
miles of the road.
The system, duo to Edison, Phelps,
Gillilaiid, Smith nnd others, is well
known in its main features to our read
ers, but certain modifications have been
introduced which have greatly im
proved its elliciency, so that as it now
stands all the difficulties heretofore en
countered may bo said to 00 entirely
overcome.
In the first equipment on the Lehigh
Valley railroad tho inductive receivor
on the car consisted of a coil of many
turns of wiro wound around the ear.
and the lino conductor was an insulated
wiro laid along the track. While this
system left little to be desired, it in
volved sumo expense, which is avoided
by the method used at present. This
consists in tiio employment of the roof
of the car, where such is available, as a
static receiver, ami the line is an or
dinary wiro strung upon poles near the
track.
With the present system tho roof of
the car is, in most cases, available, and
a car can bo equipped ready for work
in a remarkably short time. All that
is necessary is tho attachment of a wire
to tlio roof, another to tho swivel plate
of a car truck for a ground, and the in
sertion of tlio instruments in the circuit
thus formed. Such was the arrange
ment of tho director's ca which was
attached to the special train on the ex
cursion, nnd the whole equipment did
not occupy ton minutes.
Tho system as it exists to-day, briefly
stilted, consists mainly in the use of the
"short polo" telegraph line extending
along the side of tlio railroad track at
about a distance of eight or ten feet
from tho line, the poles being much
smaller than ordinary telegraph poles,
and from ten to sixteen feet high. At
their top is placed an ordinary glass or
porcelain insulator, strung upon which
is a single galvanized steel (or iron)
telegraph wire, about No. 12, American
gauge. As remarked befoie. wherever
practicable, the metal roof of the car is
employed as the inductive receiver ol
the car, but whore no metal roof exists
an iron or brass rod or tube half an
inch in diameter is employed, plared
under the oaves of the car. From the
roof the wiro passes to tho instruments,
and then to the wheels of tlio car.
The operator's equipment is quite
simple, and consists merely of a small
tablet to which the key, tho coil and
the buzzer are attached and with just
sullieient top surface to hold a tele
graph blank conveniently. The battery
employed is enclosed in a box, and can
bo placed beside the operator, or can
bo stoweil away in one of the closet-, ol
the car. Tim operator seats himself in
a chair with his instrument and clip for
holding tho messages ho is to send
both on ii little board which rests in Ids
hip. A battery of twelve small cells is
employed in circuit with tho primary of
Iho induction coil, although it is stated
that communication can bo kept' up
witli two cells.
Tho arrangement at. tho terminal
station, so far as the indication circuits
ami instruments nro concerned is ident
ical with that on the car; but in addi
tion there is supplied a Morse arrange
ment by means of which the line can
boused for tho transmission of ordinary
Morse business. The cost of equipping
a railroad with this systoni depends
somewhat on tlio character of the road
way, nearness to telegraph poles,
markets, etc.; but it i said to approxi
mate about $50 per mile for line equip
ment i. e., poles, wire, etc., and the
labor of putting up. Tho cost of car
fitting is about S15.
On the occasion of tiio rccont trip a
large number of messages wore sent,
vnd received from the train witlioutthe
slightest delay of any kind, tlio ar
rangement being under the charge of
Mr. S. K. Dingle, assistant .superin
tendent of the company. Ono of the
most striking demonstration of tho wide
application of tlio system was the send
ing of a dispatch from tho rapidly
moving train to Mr. John Pender, of
London, England, via tho Atlantic
cable. Electrical World.
PANICS IN THEATERS.
A rrotest Agnlnut the Sllp-Shnd Construc
tion or rulillo llu tdlnt'it.
There havo been of lato numerous
panics in theaters caused from some
foolish person raising tlio cry of fire,
and tho result has been tho loss of
human life. Ever sinco tho groat thea
ter lire in Paris a short time ago, fol
low ed by tlio ono in Berlin, at which
so many people wero killed, the least
commotion in a crowded liouso of
amusement is liable to cause a panic.
Such panics wero witnessed at tlio
Casino in Now York, n theater in Chi
cago, and a theater in Philadelphia
during the centennial celebration. Loss
of life was only prevented by tho pres
ence of mind of tho actors and tho cool
ness of the attaches. Tho peoplo who
wero injured wero all hurt whilo trying
to escape from tlio galleries or through
narrow exits. The galleries in the
theaters nro nearly all dangerous to
life, and in many instances tliero is
only one exit from tho bod of the
house. TIioso who are delegated by
law to look after buildings being coit
struetod in the different cities should
oo to it that places of amusement are
so built that there wilj lie proper es
capes in time of lira or a panic. Special
attention should iw paid to thu gallon.-,
which are to-day nothing bettor than
