X1MISF SKKTCII OF THIS UA11INJIT.
Hero Is an Interesting summary of Ilnr
tlson's cabinet: Mr, Wlndom Is tho oldest
rhomber of the cabinet belni 02, while Mr
Miller Is the youngest, being only 43. Of
tho others Tracy Is 00, Blane nd Itusk are ti,0 Fifth ayenue, and :he brldo and brlde
09, Tro'ctor and Noble are B8, and Wana groom were given the best room In the
maker Is 2. The average age of the cabl-
not Is 67, while Prosldent Harrison himself
will not be CO until next August. Ohio car-
lies off the prlzo, as usual, In the noint of
nativity, Wlndom, Noble and Itusk having
been horn In that State, as well as the
President himself. Pennsylvania claims
Hlalnoand Wanamakcr as lier sons, wlille
Kow York gayo birth to Tracy and Miller,
and Proctor first saw tho light In Vermont. I
Flvo of tho eight have left the States ot I
their birth, only Proctor, Tracv and Wana
makcr being residents of the States In
which they were lorn. Only four of the
eight were In the army durbg tho war-
Proctor, Tracy, JSobloand Rush and none
Of these attained a higher actual gradp
than colonel, although the three last named
were brcyeted brigadier general for gallant
and meritorious services In the field, mains
and , Wlndom have held seats in both
Houses of Congress, while Rusk has been a
member of the lower House, Blalno and
Wlndom also held the same portfolio In the
Garfield administration. Proctor and
Rusk haye been Goycrnors of their States.
Tracy has been on the bench, and has
served as United States District Attorney;
while Noble has held the. last-named oflke,
lcaylng Wanamakcr and Miller tho onlt
tTO who now hold office for tho first time
in their lives. Fourof tho eight Wlndom,
Tracy. Noble and Miller are lawyers, but
only the three last-named have acquired
distinction In their profession. Proctorbe-
can the study of law in his youth, but was
diverted from it by tho war, and then de
Toted himself exclusively to business.
Blaine is the only one on tho list who has
eyer been a working newspaper editor.
Tukiie is too a beat haste in occurr
ing a house after its completion. Says:
tho Scientific J.merican. In many places
there Is such demand for dwelling, anil
often business apartments, that, as soon as
finished, they are occupied. This is es
pecially true of small dwellings. There Is
more danger in this than Is supposed.
There is no health in dampness and mould
under any circumstances, and in llyinj
apartments, where the tendency is toward
poor ventilation, the dampness of newly
finished houses contribute: largely to ill
health. In the town of Basle, Switzerland,
a regulation has been adopted which pre-
Tents newly built houses from being oc
cupied until four months utter completion,
Under many circumstances, so long a time
as aboyo specified is not necessary, but it Is
often wellto err on the side of safty. The
Blze of the house, its location, surroundings,
the material used, and tho state of the
weather enter into the consideration of the
tlmo necessary in which a building should
become sufficiently dry for occupancy.
The Tnusr idea qrows apace by
what It feeds on. The reasoning of Mon
opoly In regard to the metals, for example,
is simple enough. If an iuternational Cop
per Trust can stand, why not a Tin Trust?
Why not, indeed? In those days of huge
combinations of capital to control the
prices of articles of prime necessity the
pcoele have constantly suffered from the
encroachments of syndicates aud comblna
Hons, without finding at hand any ready
means of resistance! But any attempt to
absorb the tin-plate works of Wales In
hostility to the Interests of American con
eumers would probably awaken a public
sentiment on this subject that would
astonish and startle the projectors
scheme. Itecorii.

FiAne, Austiua and Geumanyhave
adopted smokeless gunpowder for their
armies, and are conducting experiments to
get an explosive also as nearly noiseless as
possible. A fair degree of success has been
reached, and experts have no doubt that by
the time the next European war begins,
the smoke and noise of tho battle will have
been done away with. It Is alleged that
the French wi,l suffer most by this, as the

itaud the terrorizing effect of being mowed

BROADBRIM'S 1 1 LETTER.
Among other titles to consideration, New
York has been called the paradise of thieves
and swindlers. Certain it is that in no city
In the world can the cheeky adventurer get
such a ready endorsement on such very
light credentials. We may boact as we
please of our Democracy, of our Republican
bloed and ur glorious forefathers; our
Eagle and our Starry Flag, and I haye no
doubt, but scattered among our sixvy or
sixty-five millions of people, we have some
pretty good Democrats or Republicans; call
them which you please, but there nrc thou
sands, yea hundreds of thousauds, in tho
United States who at heart are as much
aristocrats as any you can find within the
sound of Bow Bells or lu sight of the Kais
erhoff at Berlin. They love a count, they
adore alord, they worship a duke. A forelen
title in the eyes of these monomaniacs Is a
treasure richer than gold, and the wretched
experience of dozens aud dozens of beauti
ful and wealthy American girls Is of no
service as a warning, and any titled blank
guard to-day can get a better reception from
scores of rich American families than a
young American who has nothing but char
acter and honesty te recommend him.
Thtst thoughts are suggested by the re

titled vagabond camo bv his tltlo honcAllr
enough, for hi father was a genuine duke,
though a poor one. His marriage was one
of ttie groat ovenis of New York socloly.for
one of her sitters was married to a v anuer
hllt, and of course that was the "open
sesame" to the Insldo clrclo ' of Ward Mc
Allister's exclusive four hundred. The
noble lord was,.tnvlted everywhere. The
late Wm. II. Vanderbllt entertained him
and his brldo at his magnificent palace on
house. All Now York ran alter them,
TLe lacky American girl was congratulated
on her catch, and all the girls said, "Oh,
vou darling j don't I wish I was you,"
As a reporter of a.sportlng paper said to
me. Why, blow me, If ho didn't promise
h,cr royal nlbbs a palace by tho Lake of
rjottio. It was a dead swlndlo on botl;
sijes. sho thought that being a eon of a
Juke, that he had a half dozen castles at
lean, and that Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert would call on her as soon as she got
to London. Lord Mandevllle had been a
howling swell In his day, a captain of the
Guards, etc., etc., and he had been many
other things not set down In the books, but
ile had no cash ond she had little, and fur-
thermore, ho had no castles and he had no
credit Do had spent hundreds of thou-
sands of pounds of other people's money.
and what little he had of Ills own he had
camblcd away on the turt, or In other dls
reputablo places. A wretched bankrupt
who swindled bootmakers, hatters and tail
ors, who had no character when he came
here, is admitted into the best of our Amer
ican homes and bears away from our shores
one of our most beautiful girls.
A few weeks ago another girl returned
trom Europe where she had been luvelgled
Into marriage with a beggarly Italian whose
solo 'capltil was an empty valise and a
bankrupt tltlo of count. The rascal bad
not money esough to pay for his breakfast,
and now he Is trying to blackmail the
bride's family, as tho price of his riddence.
Tho fato of Mrs. Hammcrslr, who mar
ried the notorious Duke of Marlboro, Is too
fresh in tho memory tn need repetition.
The fellow's brutality to his first wife was
not sufficient warning to her, so when her
own bitter lesson and humiliation came she
failed to receive that sympathy and con
sideration which she might otherwise have
hoped for had) she not against all remon
strance put her head in tho lion's mouth.
Marlboro's bad' character had closed the
3est humes lu England against him The
Queen would not allow him In her pres
ence, and yet on his arrival at New York
last summer an unmarried woman Invited
him to her house, gave parties in his honor,
entertained him for a week and she is one
of tho society leaders.
Speaking of society leaders wc are now
all of a twitter over our coming centennial
celebration of Washington's Inauguration,
April 30th, 1780. Now people live In the
country may think It is a very easy thing to
arrange an old fashioned quadrille, and so
It is; all you have to do is to roar out, "Take
yonr partners for a quadrille." when every
body makes a rush, seizes the first girl he
can lay his hands on; fat or lean, old or
young, ugly or pretty, and makes a dash, to
get tho head, and the d 1 take the hind
most. That's tho way wo used to do It
when Broadbrim used to put in his fancy
steps with a style and vigor that made
many of the good old hard shells prognos
ticate "that that young man would come
to no good." That was all well enough
then, but It Is a very different affair now.
One of the most bitter and heartscaldlug
bits of business that lias occurred for a
dog's age has been tho arrangement of this
centennial-quadrille. One thing, however,
was settled beyond all question, and that
was that the dancers in the first set must
all be descended from Washington himself
or Martha his wife: or falling that thev
they must be In direct descent from some
01 tue ulstmgulslied revolutionary families
the Hamlltons, Knoxs, Jeffersons, De
Peysters, Jays aud many others known to
revolutionary fame; and rluht hero came
the hitch. Mrs. William Astor is now our
sociil queen. Nobody disputes that, but
her ancestors never fit In the Revolution;
111 Piut of, fact It is now two to one that
s"e of her female relations were dragging
a hand cart about the streets of some of the
fine old German towns at that lime; for we
all know that John Jacob had no surplus
cash in his pouch when be, first came ashore
In New 1 ork. But that's neither here nor
there. John Jacob is dead and buried and
Mrs. William Astor is queen of New York,
just as much as Queen Victoria Is Queen of
England, and to put her out of the prlncl
pal quadrille at the coming celebiatlon,
just because her great grandfather didn't
drive a bpggage wagon In the Revolution,
was tho question; and I tell you what, It
was a puzzler. Talk of hard nuts to crack,
Have you ever tried to crack hickory nuts
with a tack hammer? well, It was worse
than that, Thoy wanted to squeeze Mrs,
ex-rresioeniess uayes in and also Mrs. ex-
Presidentess Cleveland, but neither pf their
ancestors were distinguished In the Revo
lution, consequently like lots of othei
plebs., myself Included, they had the bar
sinister across their coat of arms. When
it was known that Mrs. Astor was goinr to
be ruled out, the storm began to brew. You
can make Presidents like Cleveland ;.Mil
IIaes every Jay in tho week, the woods are
full of 'cm, but It takes about a huudrcd
years to make a Mrs. William Astor,
Women like her are slow of growth, like
the century plant, but n hen they do buist

u ,, not moncy alone luat makes llpr what
kho is though she has lots of it, but it Is
i u, breeding,
One day last week a two-year-old colt
sold here for twenty-six thousand dollars
aud only a short time beforo one f the
samestralc of blood brought fifty-thousand
well Mrs. William Astor to-day represents
tho best strain of our American blood, not
because she is rich, but because in all good
works she represents whatever is best in
American womanhood. She is a woman
whom riches has no, spoiled and whoso
charities, like those of her distinguished
Ipredecessoi, have made her name blessed
so they could not keep her out and let the
wife of her nephew, William Waldorf Astor
In. Every distinguished person In New
York would like to dance In that luadrille,
- j I confess I should like to shake a les there
myself; I think I could show them some
fancy steps that would make their heads
swim. I should like to tazza corlza to Mrs.
Cleveland, swim; partners n ith Mrs, Uayes,
balance A to Mrs. Astor, and right hand
across aud down tho middle with Mrs.
Harrison. Uut as I sadli remarked before,
I supposo I am ruled out. Society is torn
In pieces tn regard to the coming celebra
tion, and I will keep you advised as to the
final result.
At last we have reached the Kerr trial.
Now mark the prophecy. No more boodle
Alderman will ever be convicted lu New
York! District Attorney Fellows asked to
be excused from the prosecution as ha was

for a coroner's Inquest. The Court ex
cused him and the next day the dying man
was seen on Harlem Lane behind a pair of
2.21 1-2 trotters taking n little brush with
Jack Smith's Blue Blazes. Oh, no; tho
boodlers are all right, aud don't you for-

With the death of Captain John Ericsson
closes the career of one Intellectual giants
of the nineteenth century. It is not my
purpose to refer to his great inventions of
the Monitor or tho Propeller and the caloric
engine which has revolutionized tho world,
but to a circumstance which embittered the
last years of his llfo, and almost closed his
association with his fellow-man. For near
ly twenty years Captain Ericsson has been
almost a hermit, denying himself to all but
a small circle of Immediate friends. The
cause of thjs Is not generally known, but It
occurred In this way. Nearly twenty years
ago Capcaln Ericsson Invented an engine
for ocean steamers which was calculated
to create OTon a greater revolution In ocean
carriage than his propeller. Capital did
not come forward readily to help him, for
ho was a high spirited, diffident man who
could not beg for favors. In the under
taking ho Invested all of his private for
tune, so confident was ho of success. After
years of trial and disappointment at last
the vessel was ready for sea. Everj thing
was prepared for her first trial trip. .Sho
lay at anchor In tho North River when a
ylont storm arose. Some of the lower
side ports had been left open and the vessel
careened by the wind, filled and sunk.
For tills great calamity there was scarcely
a word of sympathy on tho contrary thou
sands laughed and seemed to rejoice at his
misfortune. It nearly broke his heart and
ruined him financially. He never recovered
from tho shock till they laid him in his
grave last week.

Objections to Prohibition."
The author of tho article with the abovo
title, In the Cakbon Advocate of last
week, files objections to prohibition which
do not object. I will reply briefly.
1, He says, "It is antl-christian. It is
based upon a theory which contradicts and
perverts Holy .Scripture; a theory which
would brand as criminal acts, miracles and
commands of the Son of God." Nothing
can bo more nonsensical than tho above;
and he fails to attempt to show how. It docs
this, If ho can. Did our dear Saviour ever
contradict his word as given .by Inspiration
of God? To the drinker of intoxicants he
says, ''Look not thou upon thn wine when
it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup,
when it uioveth itself aright, at last It bit
cth like a scrpent'and stlhgetb like an ad,
e'er." To tho drunkard maker he says,
"Woe to htm that puttctti tho bottle to his
neighbor's lips, that makcth him drunken
also." Now, show mo how prohibition
contradicts or perverts the Scripture; or in
what docs the criminality of prohibition
consist? If it is christian to prevent crime,
why is it not christian to prohibit the cause
and most prolific sourco of crime? A police
justice says. "Out of seven years experi
ence on the bench, I am convinced that
rum is the root of all evil. For every
case of assault and battery, every rape, and
every murder, the stereotjped excuse is
I was drunk.' " Tho law of Kansas labels
all saloons "common nuisances," nnd be
cause they are such is one reason why it Is
the duty of tho christian people to refuse
to tolerate this breeder of crime tho liquor
traffic.
He says"In spirit It Is anti-American."
Gladstone, the greatest living statesman,
says, "It Is the duty of government to make
it easy to do right, and hard to do wrong."
Is this axiom .mil-American? If not, then
how is Prohibition anti-American when
the liquor traffic Is, In tho words of Hon,
Lot M. Morred, "Tho gicantlc cause of
crimes;" of Hon. John D. Long, "The
dynamite of civilization;" of Hon. Judge
Noah Davis, "Among all causes of crime
the unapproachable chief.
3. Ho says, "It is unnecessary." What,
prohibition unnecessary while 530,000 con
firmed drunkards, 100.000 criminals, and
200,000 orphans are made such by tho liquor
traffic every veir, besides causing tho death
of 100,000 who fill a drunkard's ur.ive an
go to a drunkard's bell annually, from this
traffic? -
4. He says, "It Is an Impracticable rem
edy for the evil of inlemperanco." The
license svslem, whether high or low, Is a
failure, uut not prohibition, un the con.
trar , prohibition lias been a success wlier
ever It has been thoroughly tried, why do
men not tr. to regulate other crimes by a
license si stem, and see how thev won
regulate. The liquor question will never
bo sett ed until it is settled right, i. e , not
until the manufacture, exportation, trans
portation and sale of alcoholic beverages
are made public crimes, and prohibited a
sucn.
6. He says. "Prohibition tends to make
law-breakers and hypocrites." This oh
jectlon reminds me of the little school boy
who said, "bait is the slut! that makes Your
potatoes taste bad." When hsked how. he
replied, Irliy.wlien you uon t put any on.

Th Iron Tmdo.
A special despatch of the 10th Inst, from
New Yoik, says: President B. G. Clark, of
the Thomas Iron Company, does not thin
the outlook for Iron is as favorable as It was
a month ago. At that time he thought
bottom had been reached and that they
would have a better demand and higher
prices. He said:
"It looks now as if the production of pig
Iron would have to fall off or prires go
lower, lhe falluro of the Heading Iron
Works Has hail a bad effect on the trade,
and all kinds of manufactured Irons arc at
a very low pries and the demand is slack
Notwithstanding this, production increased
In .February. IjCss iron must be made."
"How about steel rails."
"Steel rails are looking up a little. The
rrlce Is about a dollar higher at the mill
than the lowest In January, or sav $27,
Wo havo been getting some orders and the
general feeling In the trade is more hopo-
IU1."
The Lackawanna, Iron and Slcel Com
panv has bought tho steel rail allotment to
the amount ol 35,000 tons from tho Ren
saelor Iron and Slcel Works, Troy, and the
Vulcan Steel Works, at St. Louis.
