Tlie finishing touches are new being put en a massive structure, which is 813 feet in length and connects two rows of buildings that feimerly consti tuted the uniersity. It would be impossible in this limited space togive an account of the many old and interesting rooms of this great university. The oUervatory is ene of the finest iu the United States, and the library, which contains mere than 30,000 volumes, is a ery valuable one. Among them nre many old and cuiieus IweLs and many precious manuscripts. There are 100 volumes printed between 1-1G0 and 1520, ene manuscript nnterier te the year 12S0, nnd three in the year 1100. In the center of the library stands a laige oval table of mahogany which was brought from England by Iard Ualtimore and used by him as a council table. The great Jesuit, the Nev.

All ether interests iu the trial of the great case of Parnell nnd Tlie Londen Times nre temporarily nuspended, and even the parliamentary wningle ever home rule for Ireland waits, whlle the world wonders about the latest witness who answers te the name of Le Cnren. According te his own Btnlcmcnt he began life ns an Irish patriot, seen discovered thcre was nothing iu it for him and en tered the secret hervice of the British government, did much curious and mys terious work in I'rance nnd the United Stales, nnd served with credit in the le (I oral army during the Amer ican civil war. He b wears posi tively, aB the newnpajiers have already told in detail, that Mr. l'arnell nnd many ether Irish patri ots who new dis courage violence, ence aided the l'cuians; that he, Le Cnren, ncted with the Fenians in the United LB CARON. States, nnd toel: art In the invasion of Canada, and that thel'arncllitesBccrctly contiuue their incitements te crime nnd rebellion in Ireland, and that their publle movement is only n cover for secret nnd dangerous designs against thu Ilritish go eminent. Some I rih Americans of great prom prem prom incuce nre charged with complicity, and very naturally thcre is an eager desire among them te get nt the complele record of Mr. Le Caren. Jehn Iioyle O'ltellly remembers meeting the man about the thne the friends of Ireland held their noted meeting nt Fnueiiil hall, liosten, but denounces all the witness' btatcments ns te their being any secret meetings there, and calls attention te the significant fact that the Chicago convention, which Ia Caren describes as a gnthei ing of dynamiters, wns presided ever by the Rev. Dr. Hclts, n leading Episcopal clergyman of St. Louts. Collector Jehn E. Fitzgerald, of Bosten, emphasizes the fact that In America Iilsh elitlcnl reformers of nil shadesef opinion net together, licnre the prcsence nt Chicago of a few Irishmen who ndvo ndve ndvo cate physical force In no way committed thep.uliamentaiy patty le their views, ns 1.0 Caren claims. "The Irish national league of Amei icn," says Mr. FiUgerald, is made up of nil shades of politics, from tlie extremists te men who de net even ImjIIrve iu a separate parliament for Ire land. v Careful inquiry in nrmy records nnd circles shows that Le Cnren served a year as.n bugler, and later became n lieuten ant in a colored regiment, but he never was n major or held any commission in the Army of the Potomac, as claimed en his cress-examination. Fer a few years he was "Dr. II. I) Caren," of Chicago, and was for n short thne president of the Statu Pharmaceutical association, but de veloped n temarkable faculty for making enemieii, and left thcre with the 111 will of many ether druggists. His litle was gained ns n druggist, und he did net practice ns u physician. They say his leal name is Peach, and th.it he ncted us druggist only te acqulie some standing among the Irish. Messrs. Patrick Egan and Alexander Sullivan deny nil his statements In regard te them, adding that he sought their ncqunlntnnce iu America but they did net encourage him. It npiK'are, however, that he was grad uated (it the Detroit Medical cellege in 1873. At one timu he had seme standing among tlie Irish of Cincinnati, was nc nc tive iu their organizations, and also in the Grand Army of the Republic. As his story comes out bit by bit, it appears that he wns "en the infilile" of queer doings in Paris; wan a Fenian in Canada in lSUe, mid a hospital steward in Joliet, Ills., in IPGOjnu "organizer" of arieus kinds In 1S70, nnd u Nationalist in 181, but through it all thu sanie cool, can can can tIous,siueotliEMl:cn,svcrctscrrico mnn iu blunt, ene of theso mysterious charac ters du eloped iu times of political con vulsion, a man who lives iu nn ntmos ntmes ntmos phcre of intrigue.

Yeu bear the glyccrine Btep, for instance, when a ninn is trying te sell a herse he "doesn't want te part with," or is persuading n friend te invest iu Iho GOO Wee Mary Janes he "happens te have te spare." Then man has nnelhcr very useful slop, the sucking deve step. When a man's wife had te sit up for him he meets her with the sucking deve step full en; you would think ns he comes along the passage, humming a psalm tune iu it, that he had just descended from the com pany of nn innocent band of seraphim. This step is also made seme little use of in business, though Iho majority of men haonet Bufiicient fuce te play it suc cessfully. Beld cabby very often has a try nt it. when he assures the stranger iu Londen, witli tears In his eyes, that the proper fare is 11 ve nnd sixpence; and the skilled restaurant waiter turns it en when he nssures the doubtful guest that the wine supplied is actually what is named en the list.

At thu approach of nny t-ligible man out comes this step nt once, nnd all she has te say te him lias the seductive intona tion of innocent candor. An exclusively feminine btep is the woodpecker, spe cially designed in theso crises in the female economy known familiarly ns "being out of sorts." Tills step gives a shrill, snappy timbre te the music of tlie lady's voice, which is much admired by the hearers, when they have acquired a taGtu for it. Anether fomiuiue btep, and a iiccu liarly beautiful ene, is Iho Minnehaha, or laughing water btep. It is net every lady who baa it iu her organ, but when she baa, nnd plays upon it, the hearer nt ence imagines himself under n green canopy by the side of a sparkling rill, nnd if he is uet careful he bits thcre and feigcts his train. The Minnehaha is the queen of all bteps, but, unfortunately, has u terrible habit of changing into tlie woodpecker Inte iu life. rrtorrssieNAL voices. The nbove remarks ure inspired by or dinary piivate eices. A mero oxtended view of the subject may ba obtained from professional voices. The former piny en ene organ of many steps, but the latter have the run of a great variety of different instruments, natural nnd artifi cial. Tlie stage, te which ene leeks for the ideal of what tlie spoken volce should lx.-, supplies us with bome charm ing examples. One especially beautiful stage oice is that usually described ns "bird like." The blid veice is especially nlTcctcd by the young nnd innocent dra matic maiden, whose pi ide is te remind you of nil the bweet songsters of the greve iu turn. Whlle she is heart free, blie hops in a cheerful manner leund the bccue, untl emits little chirps, temcthiug like n healthy sparrow devoid of care. When the ine itnble young man iitnkes hisnppoarance, blie putsen the swallow and begins te twitter continuously; nnd when he urrivc-s at bis declaration she sinka-iiite his uriiM with the true night ingale gurgle und ends a pathetic scene with n, cadence et "jug-jug-jug." Theu when things get a little mixed und lie is thought te be faithless and te have taken money from the till, she comes out btrengas a "pce-wit," and bhrieks faintly ever licr blasted hopes, much ns that plaintive bird docs ever a wermless moor. By and by there i i a pi aspect of things coming right, und she dieps the pec-wit for the canary. When she gets a letter from him you bear bounds as though u canary were fondling a fresh root of groundsel, und when nil is explained nnd he nrrives with the mariiage license by the S p. m. train, there is no mero nightingale, ami the curtain comes down en a final "jug." The well trained jeune premiere runs tlie guiuut of the w-liole ornithological tribe, nnd tlie exiK-rienced playgoer can tell what the "situation" is from the bird blieisiepresenting, even though he is teaiKKir te pay for a place where he can bee anything. In the public meeting you lirer ihe turkey gobbling iu explanation uf the object of thegatheilng, the bray of the uss lu moving Iho llrst iceolutien, nnd the duck quacking lu nipjxjit, while there fellow the calf bleating :m amend ment, the cow lowing te -'order," and the clucking of a multitude of hens car lying something simultaneously. It fa, of course-, for tlie evolutionist te say why assemblages of bpeakers imitate te closely the voices of uuimals, but he should net overlook the fact. Louden Sl-ildar.l , ,. ni; .-Tilling Tuuuel.

ALFRED P. EDQERTON. Sketch or the Dped CUU genie Caa cautiener. Civil Servlce Commissioner A. V. Cdgerten, who was recently removed from his ofllce by President Cleveland, is n gentleman of the old school, stand ing straight as an Indian, and his sixty two rears sit llchtlv utien him. Hn has snow white chin whiskers and hair, and wears a high cellar, almost like the old fashioned stock in shape and stiffness. In early life Mr. Edgerton served as a clerk in a mcrcantlle house, but while still young he removed te northern Ohie, becoming the agent of the Northern Land company. IIe then served for four j ears in congress as a Democrat, and was the financial agent of the state of Ohie, with nn ofllce in New Yerk city. In 18.T8 he removed te Indiana, and in 1808 wns the Democratic candidnte for lieutenant gov ernor, the late V i c e President Hendricks being the candidate for governor. They were ueiuucieai- -TOfrr W Jk 3 ei. as n Demo crat be refused te support Greeley in 1872, and came within six votes of being nemi- ,10Jf- A- ' edcieuten. nntcd for vice presfdent en the O'Coner ticket ever Jehn Qulncy Adams,-Jr. He was then nominated as the straight out Democratic candidate for governor et Indiana, but declined in a letter which ui god nil Democrats te support Mr. Hen dricks, and the latter was accordingly elected. Fer fifteen years he has been unanimously elected by the common council of Fert Wayne ns the president of the beard of education of that city, nnd by appointment of ex-Gov. Perter is a director of the Purdue university. IIe has been engaged in many successful business enterprises and is "in easy cir cumstances. IIe is a practical student of public affairs. He has been for ninny years an lntimate friend nnd was an asseciate of tlie lata Chief Justice Waite. Mr. Hugh H. Thompson, who & will probably euc- ceeu Mr. Edger ton en the civil servlce cemmis-" sien, is a promi nent man of the iiuau s. Thompson. south. IIe was Fcrving his second term as governor of the state of Seuth Caro lina when be was called te Washington in 183e te take the position of assistant secretary of the treasury. He is con sidered a geed financier. SENATOR RANSOM AND HIS CUFFS. Tlie Latter Aie im Unlqtiu n Anjtliln te lie Seen In tlie Capitel IlulKllns. The first thing you see when you en ter the senate chamber is Senater Han som's cuffs. In the heuse of representa tives the cellar of Gen. Splnela claims a large portion of the perspective, but Splnela has the kindness te refrain from polishing his cellars. Tlie radiance of Kansem'B cuffs is blinding. It is like the glare of the winter sun upon a field of snow; it is like the glare of a tropical sun u i Kin a dead white sea. They dazzle you like a bullsoye lantern. They strike your oye like a piece of looking glass le- llccting the sun s rays. They aie whiter than the breast of a dove. They gleam like a sail at sea. None of the bald headed senators will sit any where near liim,lxcausetheir - heads leek like turkeys' combs compared te his cuffs. When Sen ater Ransom sknatek kan'seu. raises his hands abeve his head te em pluwRu a remark during a speech about light houses (life saving is his hobby) Senater Ingalls shades his eyes with his hands nnd yearns for green goggles. With the exception of this little eccen tricity, Senater Hansom is ene of the most conservative men in the world, and his manner en thu fleer of the senate U extremely modest. Senater Hansom is C3 years old, and was born in Warren county, N. C. IIe was graduated at the University of North Carolina iu 1817, studied law. and was admitted te the bar. In 1852 he was elected attorney general of North Carolina, and was a member of the legis lature in 1838, '59 nnd 'CO. Iu 1801 be was a peaee commissioner from North Carolina te the congress of southern btates at Montgomery, Ala. He served ns lieutenant colonel, colonel, brigadier general nnd major general in the Con Cen Con fedcrate army, nnd surrendered nt Ap pomattox. In 1872 he was elected te the senate as a Democrat, and was re-elected in 1870, 18S3 nnd 1889. muHtjuvrnMUMiMv uuvea. QALU AUD HUB -THK- ROCHESTER LAMP atxtyuaneie-iiifbti Beau tnem all.
