IN dnuiN'S EMBRACE.
A Locomotive Knglneer'a Exrwrlenoe
Wlill En Koute to a Convention.
J. W. Cutter in a trusty puardian of
the cnb on the Cincinnati, Washington
and liultimore. lie commenced his
experience in JSG3usu fireman, and
lius vivid recolhicl.ions of tlie days of
the civil war. In 18(55 he was one of
i number of citizens of Chilliuothe, O.,
who burned the bridge over I'uvne's
sreek to prevont the threatened" raid
af Johnny Morgan's band of maraud
ers. Tlie crei;k was in a shallow state,
Hid had Morgan's men been ro dis
)os(hI could nave easily waded the
Hream. The citizens of the quiet Ohio
town, however, were crazy with ex
citement and applied the torch to the
only bridge in the vicinity. Morgan
changed inn plans and did not bother
them, but pushed further north. Mr.
Cutter attended the lust Richmond
convention and posed as a star actor
Hi a laughable act from life in which
a bear and linen duster won him con
siderable fame as a joker.
It was near Sisterville, W. Va., and
the cinders from the locomotive of the
train upon which Cutter was a passen
ger tlew thick and fast. It was a detri
ment to white collars and a menace to
light clothing. At one of the stations
a stop was made, and Cutter rushed
into a neighboring store, threw down
a dollar and seized tne first linen
duster within reach, regardless of size
or beauty of artistic finish. Now, Mr.
Cutter is a short man, and, as luck
would have it, he secured a duster
that was intended for a man of giratl'e
like proportions. Nothing daunted,
and amid the shouts of the other dele
gates, he donned the duster. His
thirty-six inch breast was lost in the
forty-four duster, while iU folds
draped loosely about his hips and dan
gled just above his heels. The circum
stances of purchase nerved him to su-
(iremc indifference, and he cared not
or conventionalities and laughed
mockingly at tailors' signs.
At Sisterville the train stopped for
an hour, waiting for connections. The
gay throng of angineers and their
wives left the cars and roamed about
the picturesque West Virginia hamlet.
In one street a wandering son of Italy
was grinding a hand organ and direct
ing the mazy waltzes of a huge cinna
mon bear. The bear became very
much enamored of Mr. Cutter'sduster.
The color was the same as the shaggy
hair of the bear, and the latter im
agined that a long lost brother had
beeu found. At once, the large, affec
tionate heart of the forest terror
thumped joyfully beneath his fifth
rib, and he made a wild rush for the
unsuspecting engineer and the cinna
mon colored duster.
Protestati is were in vain, escape
was impossible. The huge arms of the
dancing bear tirmly grasped Mr. Cut
ter's, and he was compelled to finish
the waltz with a very uncongenial
partner. The friends of the engineer
roared with laughter and even the
Italian smiled. At last the embrace of
the bear became uncomfortably close,
and, after a desperate struggle, Cutter
broke loose with the remnants of a
fully demoralized duster aud his face
quivering with fright.
The Ohio engineers 'indorsed this
boar story, and it is cheerfully given
as one of the iucidonts of the Rich
mond convention. Denver News.

customers here," said tne salesman.
"Those big heavy bracelets you see
there are bought chiefly by publicans'
wives. We sell plenty of wedding
rings at Is. 3d. each." "But marriages
don't occur often; Burely people can
afford a few shillings once in a lifetime
to buy a real gold ring?" "Ah, you
don't understand. These wedding
rings are bought by poor people and
slipped on when the real thing is at
the pawnbrokers. It is not before the
marriage, but after, when the rainy
day comes, that these rings are bought.
We sell grosses of them. "Who are
your best customers?" "Well, there
are rich women who have their own
jewel sets imitated, Americans, the
'profession' and mashers, the people
who have come down in the world.
When these latter go away for their
holidays to see their friends, they don't
like to show their poverty. For a few
shillings they can get such a stock of
jewelry that in their own towns and
villages they are kings and queens.
Then we sell a good deal to mashers
on bank holidays and during the holi
day season. Here are some pins, now,
that cost a shilling each. They can
have their choice of pearls, corals and
diamonds. A pin like that would gain
any young mau the respectful admi
ration of the bank holiday crowds at
Margate or Brighton. The masher's
favorite jewel, however, is the one
and three penny ring, set with rubies
and diamonds."
New Dintreie Signal.
A new shell, to take the place of all
distress signals now used in marine
signaling, such as rockets aud firing
of minute guus, which involve the loss
of much valuable tipie, has lately ap
peared. It is intended that the shells
shall be distributed about a ship, but
particularly kept on the bridge within
easv reach of the captain. When he
desires to give a signal of distress, in
stead of losing time iu loading and fir
ing a cannon, or touching off a rocket,
he seizes a shell, pulls the cap off the
detonator, scratches the fulminate
with the rough end of the cap, and
throws the shell overboard. In twenty-five
seconds there is an explosion,
and a loud booming report is heard,
while a column of water, flame and
smoke shoots up at least 100 feet in the
air. An extra appliance of a rocket is
attached to the shell used at night,
and lli'n i-ithrowu to a great height

FRENCH SECRET AGENTS.
The Character and Methods of the Hjples
Employed by the Government.
The secret agents of police in Paris
are provided with cards which, in cases
of danger, will insure them the protec
tion of the regular police. They fre
quent clubs and other meetings, the
wine-shops of the exterior boulevards,
and also attend at the Senate and Cham
ber of Deputies during the Parliament
ary session. In the morning they pre
pare their reports, generally speaking,
at the Prefecture, in the archives of
which are to be found detailed accounts
of the career and character of hundreds
of thousands of individuals in France.
These records form colossal pyramids in
the lumber rooms, and are alphabetically
arranged according to the names of the
persons whose histories they chronicle,
bo that when any one comes suddenly to
the front, or is compromised in any
criminal affair, the librarians can have
bo difficulty in laying their hands on the
official summary of his or her antece
dents. So complete is the collection
that the name of the most obscure rag
picker of Paris has its chronicle as well
as that of the President of the Republic.
Paris detectives are divided into two
classes. The Agents de la Surcte, who
are the detectives as we know them in
England, a very pi ucky, respectable and
elf-sacrificing body of chosen police
men in plain clothing; and the Agents
de la Police Secrete, a mean and con
temptible, but fearfully clever lot The
Parisian nick-name for the second-class
is Mouchard, than which there is no
more odious epithet in the French lan
guage. The mouchard may be a poor
beggar with not more than '00 a year,
or be a man or woman of high rank, fre
quenting and receiving the best society.
Sardou's "Dora" was a female mouchard.
The business of the mouchard high or
low is to listen to conversations on the
Government's doings and sayings, and
report them to the Prefect of Police,
who communicates them to the Minister
of the Interior. They are, in fact, po
litical spies, and frequently great im
postors and liars. Philadelphia Times.
England's Ancient Throne.
The English throne, used in the coro
nation ceremonies of the Kings and
Queens of Great Britain, and which is
so splendid in its covering of riejt silks,
velvets and gold, is, in fact, simply an
old oak chair of antique pattern. It
has been used on all state occasions for
the last six hundred years, and perhaps
even longer, many reputable writers
claiming that they have discovered
traces of its existence prior to the
eleventh century. Ages of use have
made the old oak frame work as hard
and as tough as iron. The back and
sides of this chair-throne were formerly
painted in various colors, all of which
are now hidden by heavy hangings of
satin, silk and velvet. The magic power
attributed to the old relic lies in the
seat, which is made of a heavy rough
looking sand-stone, 26 inches in length,
17)i inches in width, and t9 inches in
thickness. Long before ic was wrapped
in velvet and trimmed in gold to be used
by the Tudors and the Stuarts, this old
stone of stones served as a seat during
the coronations of the early Scottish
Kings. New Keviow.
To Make Berlin a Sea Port.
It is rumored that serious attention is
now being paid in official circles to the
project of connecting the Baltic and
Berlin by a sea-going ship canal. This
was a favorite idea of Dr. Strousberg in
his later and bankrupt dajs, when he
cast about for some means of turning to
account his financial genius, and there
is reason to believe that even Count von
Moltke thought the idea worth serious
consideration. Admiral Batsch, too,
once wrote a magazine article entitled
"First ship in Berlin," and discussed
the question whether this phenomenon
might best be brought about by deepen
ing the Elbe or the Oier. lie decided

The Growth or Modern Improvement la
the Celestial Empire.
The news from Peking that the Em
peror of China has issued an edict which
authorizes the building of the projected
railroad between Peking and Hankow.
A previous edict of recent date had given
authority for the construction of another
line, and there are a number of othet
railroad projects that are now awaiting
the imperial sanction. It is reported
that the well-known promoter, Chang
Chi Tung, will carry out the Peking
Hankow scheme, and that the Marquh
Tseng has been appointed peneral Di
rector of all railroads in China.
, These edicts indicate the triumph ol
Viceroy Li and the otber progressive
leaders wbo, amid many discourage
ments, have striven to establish a policy
by which the Chinese empire may be
provided with a comprehensive railroad
system, against the protests and cpri jura
tions of the censors and astrologers.
These powerful persons have carried on
a desperate struggle against this policy,
on the ground that its adopt'on would
mark the beginning of an era in which
the ancient institutions and customs ol
China m ust be wholly destroyed. It was
reported from Peking last January that
the conservative leader, the uncle of
the young Emperor, Kwang Hsu, had
obtained full control of the whole busi
ness, and the imperial action at that
time appeared to give confirmation to
this report. But the recent reversal ol
that action shows that by some means
the great Viceroy LI has regained his
former ascendancy in the palace. He
has maintained for many years that the
establishment of a railway system is
necessary to the development of Chinese
resources and the advancement of Chi
nese prosperity; and the victory he has
won over the censors and astrologers
gives evidence that practical statesman
ship may yet overcome the greatest ob
stacles in China.
Not" long ago Li overcame the con
servative opposition to the introduction
of the telegraph system, which is now
growing so rapidly that many thousands
of miles of wire are already radiating
through the Chinese empire. The evils
which, as the astrologers predicted, were
to be created by the use of electricity,
have not been realized, and the ad
vantages it has conferred are palpable
even to the official mitd.
The aged Viceroy Li has always pre
dicted the success of his railroad policy,
and he has freely given his opinion that
it would bring about an industrial trans
formation of importance to the whole
world. Within half a decado the prog
ress of China in the use of machinery
and in the adoption of modern methods
of manufacturing has added largely to
the previous productive force of the 800,
000,000 of her population; and now
again, through the service of the tele
graph and the railroad there is assurance
of its further increase to an extent that
can not be computed. N. Y. Sun.
Doubling Cp.
Another bright little Chicago girl
has been learning to spell, and she has
experienced great trouble with the
double letters. Her aunt, who is teach
ing her, insists upon her saying
"double" when the samo letters occur
together, instead of repeating each
one separately for instance: In spell
ing "bubble" she must say "b-u-double
b-l-e," instead of b-u-b-b-l-e. This meth
od annoyed the little one greatly. She
could not get it fixed in her head, and
when reading or spelling she became
all mixed up with thinking of this
"double" rule. The other day she
was reading and spelling out the story
of a little girl who was eating an ap
ple, and she became mixed, as usual.
Bhe carna to the sentence, "Up, little
girl" and she rendered it, "Double up,
little girl I" It might Ixive applied to
the apple episode, but it shocked thd
little one's patient aunt immeasurably.
