Washijtgtok, D. C, August 2i The
Census Office lias published a bulletin ufon
the production of pi? iron 10 the United
States. This subject was in the- charge of
Dr. Wm. M. Sweet, of Philadelphia. The.
introduction to the report says: ,
"The development of the manufacture of
pig iron in the United States during the ten
years from 1880 to 1890 has been phenom
enal, and at the present rate of increase in
' production this country Is destined soon to
become the leading producer of pig iron in
the world, possibly reaching this distinction
in the calendar year 1890. During the cal
endar year 1889 the production of pig iron
by Great Britain, which has annually pro
duced more pig iron than any other country,
is shown by official statistics to have been
8,231.563 tons of 2,000 pounds. It will be
Been from these figures that the quantity of
pig iron produced by the United States,
during the census year 1890 was 258,216tons
in excess ot the production of Great Britain
during the calendar year 1889. No statistics
are available for tne output of pig iron by
Great Britain during tlie 12 months ended
June 30, 1890, so that comparisons cannot
be made for the sane period as that covered
by the census statistics."
AX MfOESlODS INCREASE.
He also shows that the production of pig
iron during the year ending June 30,1890,
was the largest in the history of the iron in
dustry of this country, amounting to 9,579,
779 tons of 2,000 pounds, as compared with
3,781,021 tons produced during the census
vear 1880, and 2,052,821 tons during the
census year 1870. From 1870 to 1880 the in
crease in production amounted to 1,738,200
tons, or nearly 85 per cent, while from 1880
to 1S90 the increase was 5,798.758 tons, or
over 153 per cent.
The following table shows the production
of pig iron in the various sections of the
country in the census years 1870, 1880 and
1890. in tons of 2,000 pounds. The statistics
for 1870 and 1880 are for the census years
ended May 31, but for 1890 they cover the
vear ended June 30:

From the above it will be seen that the
pig-iron industry of New England has been
practically stationary during the past 20
years, while during the same period, and
especially since 1880, there has been a won
derful development of the manufacture of
pig iron in all other sections of the country.
1ZESXSYWAXIA d THE LEAD.
The relative rank of the various States is
seen to have undergone many changes since
18S0. Pennsylvania still retains its leader
ship as the producer of about one-half of the
pig iron that is annually made in theUnited
States, producing 51 per cent of the total
production in the census year 1880, and over
49 per cent in 1890. Ohio was second in
rank in both 1880 and 1890, the output of
pig iron in the former year being over 14
per cent of the total production in the
United States, and in the latter year over
13 per cent. Alabama, which occupied
tenth place in 1880, with an output of 62,336
tons, is now the third largest producer oi
pig iron, the production sf this State in 1890
amounting to .890,432 tons, an increase of
more than 1.328 per cent over the production
of 1880. Illinois, wnich was seventh in
rank in 1880. is fourth in 1890: and New
XiTk, -union wm third jjisn, ouEi
liith place in 1890. Virginia, which was
seventeenth in rank in 1880, is now sixth;
while Tennessee has gone from thirteenth to
seventh place.

OLD FUKKACES ABANDONED.
Notwithstanding the tact that the pro
duction of pis iron has increased from
3.781,021 tons of 2,000 pounds in 1880 to
9,579,779 tons in 1890, the total number of
completed lurnaces has decreased during the
10 years from 681 to 562. Many lumaces
which were in the active list in 1880 have
since been abandoned, owing to their in
ability to-profiublv compete with the larger,
better located, and more modern furnaces of
the present day.
At the close of the census year 1890 the
total number of blast furnaces which were
active or likelv to be some day active was
562, of which 169 were anthracite or an
thracite and coke furnaces, 253 cok eand
bituminous coal furnaces, and 140 charcoal
furnaces. Of the total number of furnaces
at the close of 1880 there were 229 anthracite
or anthracite and coke furnaces, 195 coke
and bituminous coal furnaces, and 257 char
coal furnaces. In the decade from 1880 to
1890 there is seen to have been a decrease of
60 in the number of anthracite or anthracite
and coke furnaces, a decrease of 117 in the
number of charcoal furnaces, and an in
crease of 58 in the number of coke and
bituminous coal furnaces.
Of the 562 completed furnaces at the close
of the census year 1890 there were 338 in
blast, 110 anthracite or anthracite and coke
furnaces, 165 coke and bituminous coal
furnaces, and 63 charcoal furnaces. The
number of furnaces building at the date
mentioned .was 39, of which 9 were in
Virginia, 7 in Alabama, 5 in Pennsylvania,
4 in Illinois, 3 each in Kentucky, Tennessee,
and Michigan, 2 in, Maryland, and 1 each
in GeorgiaOhio, and Wisconsin.

. The greatest activity In the development J
cf the Southern pigiron industry during the
past decade is seen to have been in Alabama.
This State produced in the census year, 1890,
almost one-half of the pig iron made in the
South, and was only exceeded in production
in the United States by Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Virginia and Tennessee now occupy,
respectively, second and third places among
the cigiron-producing States of the South.
Excepting West Virginia and Maryland,
nearly all the pis iron made in the South is
produced from Southern ores, and of the
quantity produced by the use of mineral
fuel mocli the larger part is made from
Southern coke. Most of the pig iron made
in West Virginia is produced from Lake
Superior ores. In Maryland the recent
building of four large coke furnaces by the
Pennsylvania Steel Company at Sparrow's
Point. ne.r Baltimore, to smelt iron ores
fromCuba, has suddenly brought this State
more'promineotly forward as a manufacturer
of pig iron. Two of the furnaces were blown
in during the census year 1890, and of the
other two one is completed and ready for
operation.
INCREASE TS THE -WEST.
In the six Western States which produced
pig iron in the census years 1880 and 1890
there is also seen to have been a large in
crease in the production. The following
table &ives the quantity of pig iron, in tons
of 2.000 Dounds, made by each of these
States, in the years named, with the percent
age of increase or decrease in 1890:

PKOPOETION MADE FEOM COKE, ETC.
The foregoing figures dearly exhibit the
important part that bituminous coal and
coke have taken in the growth of the pig
iron industry since 1880. The larger pro
portion of the production of pis iron cred
ited to this luel is made from coke alone.
A few furnaces use raw bituminous coal
only and their production is included in the
total for coke and bituminous coal. In the
use of anthracite coal alone as a blast fur
nace fuel there is seen to have been a
marked decrease since 1880, while the pro
duction of pig iron in tons of 2,000 pounds,
exclusive or castings, made direct irom the
furnace, for the fiscal years ending May 31,
18S0, and June 30, 1890, was: From anthra
cite coal and pig iron, 1,826,667 and 2,202,356
tons respectively; from coke and bituminous
coal, 1,515,107 and 6,711,976 tons respective
ly, and from charcoal, 435,018 and 655,520
tons respectively. '
The following statement gives the pro
duction of pig iron, including furnace cast
ings, in the various districts of Pennsylva
nia and Ohio during the census year 1890,
in tons of 2,000 pounds: Pennsylvania
Dehigh Valley, bv anthracite coal and coke,
726,995 tons; Schuylkill Valley, by anthra

BESSEMEE TIG IRON.
the United States during the census year
1890 amounted to 4,233,372 tons. Of this
quantity Pennsylvania made 2,567,813 tons;
Illinois, 616,659 tons; Ohio, 465,649 tons;
New York, 174,574 tons; West Virginia,

amounted to 149,959 tons, as compared with
12,875 tons produced in the census year 1880.
Four States made spieeeleisen in 1890, viz.,

Hundreds Djinc Monthly and No Attempt
lo Arrest the Spread.
CnrcrxxATi. August 22. Mr. Warren
Garnet, of San Antonio, Tex., is in the city.
He had just come from Mexico, after a
lengthy stay in the State of Coahuila, one
of the most Northern States of the Bepublic
Most of this time he spent in Saltillo, the
capital. "The State is ravaged with small
pox," said he. "In its extent and its
fatality it exceeds almost any scourge
of the same disease which has visited
the United States. Hundreds of persons die
in this one State monthly. So isolated are
some of the cases and the districts in which
thev occur that a person is almost led to be?
lieve that even the high death rate which is
given to the public does not include all of
the victims. The epidemic is confined to
no one particular locality, but the seeds of
the deadly disease have been scattered
abroad throughout the entire State. Poor
sanitation was the cause of the disease. The
authorities have taken no precautions to
?revent the spreading of the pestilence,
'ublic burials of the victims take place every
day. This has had more to do with the
epidemic than any other thing. Bodies
of the dead are carried publicly through
the streets, and the germs of the disease are
spread all over the city. When a person dies
of smallpox the body is placed on a board
and carried on the shoulders of four natives
to the burial ground. The face of the dead
is exposed to the breeze, and the wind pass
ing over the body of the deceased carries the
pestilence to all parts of the city.
Within the past three months over 1,200
persons are reported to have died of the
smallpox in Coahuila, and the number of
new cases is constantly increasing. No at
tempt at quarantine has been made against
this State by either the United States or
other Mexican States, and there is nothing
to prevent the extension of the epidemic.
The wealthier natives have begun to leave
the country, and the seeds ot disease are
bound to be carried with them. Indeed, when
our train passed through Hattiesburg, Miss.,
I was informed ot a case ot smallpox there
which originated from this source. The
victim was a young Mexican girl "who had
been taken ill there. Her brother was with
her, and he readilv acknowledged that he
had jnst come from Satillo. The Mississippi
anthorities are taking every caution to pre
vent the spreading of the disease, and have
quarantined against it.

To-night the delegates to the thirteenth
annual session of the National Council of
the Daughters of Liberty will leave over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad for Salem,
Mass., where the National Council convenes
next Tuesday. Among those who will go
are National Vice Councilor James W. Mc
Cleary, of the Southside; Deputy National
Councilors C B. Wylie, John Zimmer,
Captain J. T. Clow, A, F. Means
and G, E. Kepple, and the
following representatives: Jennie Bobson,
Unity Council; James "Parke nnd wife,

Mrs. J. T. Clow, Pride of Manchester; Mr.
and Mrs. 'Fred Ertzman, Hazel wood, and
Mr. and Mrs.F. D. Thompson, Pride of the
West.
This will be the most important session
that has been held for several years. Mat
ters of importance to the growth of the order,
particularly in Pittsburg and the West will
be up for consideration. An amendment to
to the general laws making it possible for
all States having five or more councils to
take out State charters, will be acted upon.
At present all subordinate councils are
under the jurisdiction of the Natipnal Coun
cil and each council is entitled to two rep
resentatives in that body. Should State
councils be established the representation to
the National Council would be through the
state councils, and the membership of the
NationalCouncil would.be greatlyjdecreased.
AGAINST THE AMENDMENT.
The Western councils, and particularly
those on the Southside, are almost a unit
against the amendment The members fear
it will open up a way through which States
not wishing to take out charters could re
tain a large representation in the National
Council and control legislation. An effort
may be made to pass the amendment in snch
a shape as to compel all States havinc 15
i rnnnriM to jage nm niaip, .rnri,pra,.ann,u.
this fails the wnole amendment will be de-
, nnd if
nil be de-
feated. Another amendment depriving
past councilors admission to the national
council will be considered and it is the gen
eral opinion that it, too, will be voted
down.
The appointment of a National Organizer
to assist the National Councilor in spread
ing the order in new States is strongly urged
-by Western members, and the indications
are that the matter will be acted upon favor
ably. Several other matters, of importance
only to members of the organization,
will occupy the attention of the
session. The election of officers will
be of interest to the local members.
James W. McCleary, a young merchant of
the Southside, is the only candidate so far
lor National Councilor, and as he is the
present National "Vice Councilor his
chances for success are considered good. He
is well known in the American Mechanics,
having been an active member of Smoky
City Council for several years. He repre
sented the council in the State body two
sessions and served on State committees
both years. He acted as chief marshal of
the Mechanics' parade in 1888. He has
been a member of Unity Council, D. of L.,
since it was organized.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE OEDEE.
The Daughters of Liberty can properly be
called an auxiliary to the Junior and Senior
orders of the American Mechanics, although
it Is in reality under the jurisdictson of the
National Council, O. U. A. M., in con
junction with the National Council, D. of
L. The objects of the order are similar to
those of the Mechanics, being to promote
social intercourse and mutual Improvement,
visit the sick and distressed, perpetuate
American principles in harmony and con
junction with theOrder of United American
Mechanics, and to promote the happiness
and prosperity of the order in general. All
members in good standing of the O. U. A.
M. or Jr. O. U. A. M.. together with any
white lady of American birtb, or born under
the protection of the American flag, be
tween the ages of 16 and 45 years, if of
good moral character, are qualified for
membership.
The order has grown very rapidly within
the past year. The last session of the
National Council was held in Pittsburg,
after which the work was taken up by the
Juniors and great vigor was added
to ' its progress. At least 25 new
councils have been organized in Western
Pennsylvania since the last session, and a
proportionate amount of progress has been
made in almost all of the States where the
order is known, which is about 13 in num
ber. The delegates who leave Pittsbnrg to
night will stop, on the way in both Wash
ington and New York, to see the sights.
They will be joined in ttjel metropolis by a
party of 40, who will go with them via the
Fall Biver packet line to Boston. Mrs,
Alice P. Love, of New York, hts had charge
of the arrangements for the transportation
of the delegates from there, and is said to
have everything complete.
A Sociable Tramp.
Greenfield Letter In Springfield Republican, I
When Mrs. William Hall, of Chapman
street, was doing her morning work the
other day she found that a tramp had slept
on her best bed through the night without
troubling to take off his boots, and had
stolen a ring and a lew trinkets before
leaving. How he got into the house is not
known, but It is thought that he went in
before the house was locked up in the
evening.
Menseit Woman In Chelsea.
Cbelses'Eecord.:
The meanest woman in Chelsea has been
found. She engaged a poor washwoman at
15 cents an hour and during the job set the
clock back an hour. The trick was discov
ered, and the mean woman's husband paid
the proper amount, declaring that he had
been known as a mean man himself, but
this beat any of his performances. .

VEBMOHT 00150 BACKWARD.
The L'ensns Likely to Show a Decrease to
Popnlntlon Since 1SS0.
Springfield BepubllcanO
The statements that have gone out through
the columns of some of the metropolitan
journals to the effect that Vermont has
gained in -population during the last
decade are not likely to be .verified
by the official figures, Which will
soon be pnblished. The gains in
the larger towns, which were relied on to
offset the material losses in the agricultural
districts, will doubtless prove insufficient to
bring the total up to the figures of 1880.
The so-called "farming towns" will prob
ably show a loss even beyond expectations.
Two counties at least, Grange and Windsor,
both of which, are largely devoted
to agricultural pursuits, will show
a large filling off in population,
the loss being reckoned at 6,000
or 8000,Jwhile Bennington and Addison
counties, on the west side of the mountain,
suffer similar losses, though possibly not
quite so heavy in the agzregate. Only 58 ot
tne JAt towns in tne mate show a gain in
population. Essex county leads in the
number of towns which have made gains,
having eight. Butland and Washington
follow, with seven and six respectively.
Four counties show gains only in two
towns each, while six counties show an in
crease and eight counties a decrease.
Of the four counties, Washington, But
land, Chittenden and Essex, the former
shows the largest gain (chiefly attributable
to the granite town of Barre); the others
gain relatively in the order in which they
are named. Two towns each in Benning
ton, Grand Isle, Orange and Windsor coun
ties show gains. Lamoile and Windham
counties 'have three towns each in which
there has been an increase in
population, Brattleboro, Bockingham
and Dummerston being the three
towns in Windham county also showing
gains. These figures prove pretty conclu
sively that Vermont's population' has not
increased as a whole within the last decade,
and the returns now in the hands of the
State Supervisor will, it is feared, show a
decrease, notwithstanding the tact that the
large towns show material prosperity and
an increased population, with every indica
tion of future growth, which, as heretofore,
will possibly be at the expense of the agri
cultural districts.
8TBANQE SCENE IK EDEN.
A Watchman's Ziivelr Experience With a
Rollicking Cow.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Watchman Pat Brazell, of the Garden of
Eden, had an hour's experience yes'terday
which he won't forget until the day when he
shuffles off about 300 pounds of this mortal
coil and adds his sub-bass with its coupler
attachment to the angel chorus.
Mr. Brazell was pondering weightily
over some important matter yesterday morn
ing, when he heard soft footsteps approach
ing, and, looking up, he saw a cow with in
nocent fawn-like eyes and a tail like a
pump handle gazing mildly at him.
The cow was breathing a hot, passionate
breath, and had a rope about 50 feet long
attached to the long horns that decorated
her front.

DIV0ECED AND

" Willi Bis Ailmonr.
Washington C. H., O., August 22.
O. B, Mnnger and his wife, who became
welt-known throughout the country a fer
years ago on account of their eccentric views
on religion, are in trouble again. It will
be remembered that Munger was adjudged
insane and sent to the asylum at Columbus,
his wife testifying against him. She was
divorced from him and he was afterward re
leased from the asylum. He wandered all
over the United States and Europe, letting
his hair grow to great length and presented
a strange appearance. He finally settled
down at Anderson, Ind,, and soon accum
ulated a fortune in real estate speculations,
etc.
His former wife seemed anxious to remar
ry him, and about a year ago went to An
derson and they were tied np again.
Munger has recently fallen heir to a large
estate, and now she wants the court to
grant her another divorce with big alimony.
When the first divorce was granted Mrs.

HUNTING OUT HERESY
A Theological Teacher of Allegheny
Conies Under Suspicion.
LIKELY TO COME TO JUDGMENT.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning Growth
of Charchos.
GLEANINGS FE0JI CHDRCH FIELDS
A generation ago heresy hunting was a
favorite pastime in orthodox churches. The
preacher -who kicked out of the traces and
asserted bis individuality, by departing
from old-time beliefs and methods, at that
day called down upon himself the anath
emas of those who stood for the faith once
delivered to the Baints. In recent years the
drift has been toward toleration and a re
spect for the rights of the individual.
Arthur Helps has furnished this aphorism:
"Tolerance is the only real test of civiliza
tion." The spirit of the age in which we
live is favorable to a large toleration as to
religious beliefs. Churches are no longer,
as in days gone by, disposed to crucify
those who step aside from the old beaten
paths and assert their individuality. The
old-time method of dealing with heretics
was a resort to the fagot and dungeon. But
those days have passed away, and heresy
hunting is no longer a popular game as it
was in the days of our fathers.
Still, there are lingering on the blink a
few who are possessed by the spirit of the
past and are ready to ostracize the brother
who dissents from the traditions of the
elders.
Prof. McClurkan, of the Beformed
Presbyterian Seminary, of Allegheny, it
seems has become an object of suspicion in
his denomination.
THE CITIZEN'S PEIVILEOE.
The Beformed Presbyterians of the Old
School, to which Prof. McClurkan be
longs, have, as one of their principles, that
a Christian cannot become a voter becanse
our Government is not Christian. Prof.
McClurkan, it is claimed, believes and
teaches that there is nothing vil in assum
ing citizenship, and hence has become an
object of suspicion, and the charge of heresy
has been preferred. The end is not yet. It
is highly probable that the trouble will re
sult in the departure of Prof. McClurkan to
some other Presbyterian fold.
' It is plain that he cannot much longer re
main as a minister and theological teacher
in his church with any degree of comfort.
A large element ot his denomination are
already calling for his removal from the
professorship. When the heresy hunters
get fairly down to their work it is only a
question of time when the hunted will be
forced to transfer his allegiance.
GEOWTH OP THE CHURCHES.
The Independent presents a summary of
the statistics of the Christian churches of
the United States, comparing it witn the
one which it gave a year ago. In most
cases a numberof organizations areincluded
urAer one title; as, for instance, there are
16 different bodies classed as Methodists,
and 13 as Baptists. The number counted as
Boman Catholics includes the entire popu
lation, while in the other denominations
only communicants are counted. The of
ficial statement of the Propaganda at Borne,
just issued, makes the number of Boman
Catholics in the United States somewhat
less than is here given, 8,168,688. Some
small bodies, snch as the Plymouth Breth

day, September 16, for the matriculation of
new students, and on Wednesday, the 17th,
at 1030 A. m., Bev. Prof.M. B. Biddle will
deliver the opening address in the seminary
chapel. The prospect for the incoming
class is very fair. A special attraction for
the coming session, both to students and the
public generally, is the course oi twelve
lectures to be given by Bev. Dr. A. M.
Fairbairn, Principal of Mansfield College,
Oxford, England. .The course will be free
to all... Dr. Pairbairn is widely known and
honored in this country and at home for his
large scholarship and his ability and elo
quence as a publio speaker.
The lectures will be given between Sep
tember 25 and October 4 inclusive, one or
two each day. Pull notice of the place and
hour of each will be given. It is antici
pated that a part of the course will be given
in the city of Pittsburg, in some central and
public place.
The United Presbyterian Seminary, of
Allegheny, seems to have struck a snag in
the elfort to fill a vacant chair in that insti
tution, as appears from the following clip
ping from this week's United Presbyterian:
The nomination hy the board of Rev. O. J.
Thatcher for the chair of Church History and
Hnmiletics in Allegheny Theological Seminary
being unsatisfactory to many, the name of the
Kev. M. G. Kyle, of Philadelphia, will be pre
sented in the four synods hiving control of
the seminary. Mr. Kyle's suitableness for the
position lies in his higb scholarship, his special
study of the history of Christianity, his ex
perience as a teacher, his efficiency as a preacher
and pastor, and his positive United Presby
terianlsm. J. M. Fulton,
Chairman ot Committee.
General Cbnrcb Noted.
THE Moody meetings atNorthfield have been
a greater success this season than ever before.
Mr. Moody is evidently at his best. Following
Is an extract from one of his recent addresses
on "Glory? "But bettor than coming to glory
ourselves, is bringing others "bringing many
souls unto glory.' The joy of saving others is
greater than the joy of being saved. A man
who had just been sent to his bed with a.brotten
leg received a basket of grapes from a kind
xriend. Bat-he bethought bim of a neighbor
who bad been lotfg sick, and sent them to him.
Sick man No. 2 thought of a sick man No. 3,
and) sick man No. 3, all unconscious of the
early history of tho grapes, sympathizing with
the sick man No. 1, of whose accident ho had
jnst beard, sent them to him. Each found it
more blessed to ctve than to receive, to help
than to be helped."
Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, of Elmira, was
atSeattle the other day, and, after a humorous
chat with a reporter, said: "And now, young
man. If you put anything at all in your paper
about me just say: 'Rev. T. K. Beecher, ot
Elmira, is in town and Is going he doesn't
knowwheref Don't want to write it in that
way? Why but that reminds me of a story.
Some years ago a young man named Plympton
came to Elmira to take charge of a paper. I
was in the habit of publishing my church
notices in the paper, and one Saturday night
the pas gave out and gave promise ofstaying
out for a day or two. So I ran over toPIymp
ton, and said: "Jnst say, "Services as nsual,
oxceptins tne gas." 'Shall I publish It just
that way?' said Plympton. 'Certainly,' said I,
and I left bim. He didpablish it that way, and
on the foliowineiday narrowly escaped being
tarred and feathered at the hands of a com
mittee of my deacons who thought he was
ridiculing me."

WASPS AND TriKltt HEST8.
Interesting Stndv of the Industrious Insect
and It House.
If a wasp's nest is laid bare in November,
three distinct kinds of wasp will be seen
small neuters or workers, now few in num
ber, middle-sized stingless males, and from
200 to 300 large wasps. The latter are the
queens or fertilized mothers, and alone sur
vive the winter. Some few of them remain
in the nest, bat' the greater proportion of
them hibernate in warm and sheltered spots,
In nooks and crannies, in the (batch of cot
tages or straw ricks. With the bright snn
of March they are revived to life and ac
tivity, and then may be seen about every
hedge bank,eeking for a suitable hole in the
ground, where each may fonnd a vespiary or
commonwealth, says a writer iu the Olobe
Demoerat. Having chosen a spot, the queen
at once commences to scoop out the soil and
carry it away in her jaws, and soon a
vaulted chamber is made a foot or more be
neath the ground. Next she proceeds to
old stumps and decayed woods, from whence
she nibbles small fragments of woody tissue
by means of her strong mandibles. These
she carries home in the form of small
rounded pellets, masticates them thoroughly,
mingles them with glutinous saliva, and
finally manufactures a strong kind of paper.
Unlike the queen bee, whose sole business
is to lay eggs, the queen wasp has to work
hard all daylong. With the paper she
makes she twists a strong cord, which is
fixed firmly to the roof of her abode. She
then makes a cell at the other end of the
cord; around this she proceeds to build
many other cells, and in each of these
she lays an egg. In due time the eggs
are hatched, and footless grubs
emerge; these pais through the
larva and pupa stages, and eventually a
young colony of wasps is started. Hence
forth the queen leaves the nest no more.
The wasp exhibits as much ingenuity in
making her nsst of paper as the bee her
comb of wax, but ibey start on a different
footing. The bee is famished with wax se
creting glands, but the wasp can only ob
tain her building material by hard work.
A PAIS KLDNAPEB.
How a Diplomatic Long; Branch Girl Wooed
nnd Won a Dude.
He adores this young woman, bat he don't
know how to tell her, writes a Long Branch
correspondent of the New York Herald
of a couple at that resort. He palpitates
ferociously, and his sash draws with emo
tion when she dances with another
young man; bat as he cannot dance, he
must sit and palpitate; he takes her to get
soda, and he treats her to a box of candy,
but still he does not speak. She has re
solved that he shall. So last night, when
everybody had left the veranda, she said:
"Indeed, ma, the air is too damp for you."
The mother thought it was; and so tod
dled off to bed. Then that girt, with a de
liberation worthy of a census taker, said:
"Samuel, I don't wish to make unpleas
ant remarks, bnt people are talking about
us."
And Samuel, smoothing his sash, said:
"That seems a pity."
Then this diplomat mnrmured, "Oh, Sam
uel, would you In your great strength per
mit this?"
And Samuel, having the strength of a
poppy and the vanity of a peacock, says:
"Certainly not," and the pursued again re
marks: "Samuel, after this we understand
each other as only two loving souls can you
may kiss me."
Samuel is the color of a corpse, and he
performs the kiss mechanically still he
does it This sounds like romance, but no,
on my honor, it occurred in the drawing
room of the West End last week.
