J In a stately old castle, protected by strong walls, and surrounded by a large forest of giant oaks, there lived one time a queen with her two children, a boy and a girl. The young Prince Henry was a brave, hand some youth whom everybody loved, but his sister, the Princess Kosi, was so beauti ul that people came from all parts of the king dom to cet a sight of the lovely maiden. The Queen loved her daughter with such devotion that she could not refuse her any request, and thus the Princess grew to be a wayward, disobedient child, and a source of great annoyance to her tochers, because she was not studious like her brother. The mother was greatly distressed to see her beautiful daughter grow up in igno rance; but she knew not how to prevent it. Finally she decided to take the advice of the olj witch 01 the desert, who was famed throughout the land lor her wisdom. But to enter the witch's castle wjs no easy task; lor the gate was guarded by two fierce lions which never slept, aud which could tear in pieces anyone attempting to pass them. Fortunately, the Queen knew that the rage of the lious could be subdued by feedlnc tbeni honey cakes and prS-vidiug herself with these she set out on toot and alooe to the desert. When the Queen had walked manv miles she was so overcome with iatigue that she stopped under a large tree to rest, and there fell into a deep 6leep. Stoe was suddenly aroused by a great THE PRINCESS TTNDEB noise, as of thunder, and to her dismav, she saw the witch's lions rushing toward her. She quickly reached for the honey cakes; but they were gone, and the basket was empty. Hearing the rustling in the branches of the tree, she looked tip and saw peering through the leaves the ugly distorted face of a dwarf, who said, in a sharp, piercing voice: "Queen, yon are in great danger; how can you hope to escape the lions, when you save no sword?" "My honey cakes would have tamed the fnrious beast-," said the Queen; "but I have lost them. Oh, save me lrom this terrible death." "On one condition shall I save you," re plied the dvar ; "when your daughter, Rosa, is 16 years old, you must give her to me for ten jears." The Queen shuddered at the thought of giving her beautilul daughter to this hideous creature; but the lious came nearer and nearer, and in her terror, the Queen cried: "Save me, and I shall give you my daughter." She then fell into a death-like swoon, and when she revived she was in her own room in the castle. And now the Queen fell very ill, and although the most learned physi cians were called, none could give relie to the suffering one. Then the Princess Bosa, who dearly loved her mother, was sore dis tressed, and thought: "It my mother could only be restored to health, never again should I trouble herwith my wilful ways. I shall go to the old witch in the desert. She has healed others, and surely she will not turn me away." The Princess then prepared the honey cakes for the lions, and began her danger ous journey. It happened that on the way to the desert stood an orange tree loaded with large, ripe oranges. The Princess placed her basket on the ground and began to pluck the luscious fruit. But at the same instant the roar of the lions sounded with such force that the earth trembled. Bosa hastened to her basket, only to find it empty, and the honey cakes were nowhere to be seen. Then the Princess wrnng her hands in despair and cried out witb terror. In a moment the dwarf stood before her, and the lions became quiet and gentle and ap proached no nearer. "Why do you cry so loud, and for what reason do you come here?" asked the dwarf. Bosa tola him that she was on her way to the old witch of the desert to ask.the cause of her mother's, illness. "Then ou need go no further," said the dwarf; "the Qneen is only grieving because che has promised that when you are 16 you shall spend ten years with me," "I cannot believe that," said the Princess; "lor it is not possible that my mother should promise me to so ugly a creature as yon," "I have spoken the truth," ..said the dwarf; "and unless you also give your con sent I shall leave you to be devoured by the lions." And again the furious beasts began to, roar in such a trightml manner that the Princess cried: "Save'me and I shall do as yon desire," Immediately hoth the dwarf and the liom disappeared, and the Princess sadly returned home. Bosa went at nnce to her mother and related her adventures with the dwarf. "Andnow, dear mother," she said, "yon must grieve no more; for I have thought of a plan to escape this dreadml fate. I shall go to distant lands, beyond the power of , this wiiked dwarf, and there I shall remain for the tu years." From that time fhe Queen began to Im prove, ami whe.n she had eniirely recovered the Princess made her preparations for the long journey. At last the day came when Bosa should say goodby to her home and friends. The royal coach stood at the door, and just as the Princess was about to enter, four peacocks appeared drawing a small red chariot, in which sat the witch of the des ert. At the same moment the dwarf him self riding on a huge yellow wildcat rushed into the courtyard and demanded the Prin cess. Then the brave Prince Henry, draw ing his sword, ttepped forth and cried: "Be one, wicked people, and leave my titter in peace, or Isball pierce vou with ni'v sword." . But the witch langbed ccornlully and I cried: "I shall see justice done to my eon, the dwarf, and you dare not touch me." And there arose iroru the eround two fiery dragons, at the sight of which all the courtiers fled in terror, and the Queen's beautiml daughter was carried away by the hideous dwarf. Then there was great mourn ing at the castle for the Trincess Rosa, and lor many weeks brave soldiers searched in vain lor the lost Princess. Prince Henry traveled into distant lands, there to seek his sister and bring her to the sorrowing mother. When he had searched throueh many coun tries he came one evening to the shore ot a crystal lake. Pausing here for an instant he heard a voic say: "Prince Henry, listen to me and I will telp you." On looking about for the speaker the Prince discovered rocking in the waves a little nymph, who continued: "The witch ot the desert and her son, the dwarf, are our worst enemies, and have often caused much unhappiness to our race. For that reason I wish to destroy them. They have carried your sister to the magic place in the desert, and in the beautiful garden the Princess wanders and grieves over her sad fate. I shall give yon a jeweled sword with which vou can safely enter the magic palace and strike lifeless the witch and her son." The nymph then produced a sword gleam ing with genu, and when the Prince had re ceived it and thanked his friend, he joyfully returned to his native land andwas not long in hastening to the witch's palace. At the sight ot the jeweled sword the ragiug lions fled away, and unharmed, the Prince 'en tered the garden. Here he was met by a THE OEASGK TREE. score of beautiful maidens, who cried: "Be ware, Prince, the dwarf is thine enemy, and should he find you here death will be your fate. Give us thy sword, and then haste away." But when the Prince cried, "With this sword I shall slay both the dwarf and his evil mother," the maidens disappeared and the Princess Bosa entered the garden. She was greeting her brother with tears ot joy when the dwan's sharp voice was heard to say: "So you will carry away my prisoner without asking my leave?" But before he could utter another word, Prince Henry had struck him with his sword,and the wicked dwarf fell dead to the grouna. "When the witch heard of her son's death she was very angry, and rnshed upon the Prince as if to tear him to pieces. But she too was made lifeless by the water nymph's sword. And to-day, in the great drsert, may be seen the ruins of the magic palace; while in the stately old castle in the oak forest is shown the jeweled sword which rescued Princess Bosa from the evil dwarf.

PICTURED IK STOKE. Facts About the Bittitea, Who Were a Great and Ancient People. St, Louis Globe-Democrat. The great people known as Khiti (Hitt ites) in the Hebrew, and as Khita in Egypt ian, who existed hundreds of yearsfbefore Christ, formed a powerful State in North Syria and on the Euphrates, from Lebanon to the Great Biver being all of it "the land of the Hittjtes." Their appearance was pecnliar; always beardless, with very re treating foreheads running back into a pointed head, thus formiug a considerable aiyrle between the lower part of the face and the upper, with very deeply marked fa cial lines or crinkles down the sides of the mouth, and with the forehead often, perhaps always, shaven. A long tail of hair hung down behind, and in some cases it appears to have been double, as two masses, one on each side of the face, are seen in some front views. Their portraits, as seen on their monuments, lately discov ered in Northern Syria, are strikingly like the representations of them on the Egyptian monuments. This people maintained a military supremacy in North Syria for many centuries. With Barneses the Great, 1400 B. 0., they were at constant war, de'y ing the strength of the Egyptians, who very narrowly escaped acrushing defeat. Their powers were so nearly equal that at last a long treaty was made with honorable stipu lations on both sides, and the daughter of the Hittite King became a wife of Barneses II. - SMOKE SUPPRESSION.

PITTSBUKG - DISPATCH, A FQM OF ENERGY. Another Simple Losson in Electricity From Scire Facias. HOW DYNAMOS ARE CONSTRUCTED. Principle Upon Which the Production of a Current Depends. THE P0WEE EXPENDED IN THE WORK IWIUTTXH POB THI BJSF.1TCH.J Electricity is a form of energy, and, like all other forms of energy, itrepresents a cer tain condition of thinsg.Stesm is a lorm of en ergy by reason of the fact that its particles have been widely sepirated, that is, placed in a strained condition through the expan sive force of heat A wound-up spring rep resents energy .because it is iu a strained condition. We often hear the expression "electric fluid," and although it is true that nobody knows exactly what electricity is, yet such expressions as "electric fluid" and "electric, current" are misleading, ior we cannot ponr electricity into pail alike water, nor can we weigh it, or hold it in our hands. In other words it is not a thing, but a condition of things, which when properly applied can be made to do work. However, we must use some expression and so, as a matter of convenience, we say "electric current." ENEKGT POB ENERGY. But such a condition of things as we are now considering cauuot be brought about without an expenditure ol energy. A clock cannot be wound up uor a railroad train moved, uor can'any other change be made in the condition of m'aterial things without the application of some outside power. Keeping this tact well in mind, let us see how, throngh the medium ol some outside power, that condition of things which we call elec tricity may be brought about. However, belore coming right to the point, we must have a pretty clear idea of the prop erties of a magnet. We all know what a magnet looks like and that it has two poles a north and a south, and that it win at tract iron. But there is another verr inter esting feature connected with a magnet, and that is its "lines of force." Badiatingout from each pole ot a magnet there are lines technically Called "lines ot force." THE LINES 017 FORCE. We cannot see them and we cannot touch them; but we know that they are there and can prove this fact by their effect. Take for example a good bar magnet, lay it down on a table and cover it with a fiat piece of glass, such as a window pane. Then if some fine iron filings are si ted on to the glass, at the same time gently tapping the glass, it will be seen that the filings arrange themselves in curved lines, radiating .out from each pole and curving toward each other. It must not be supposed, however, that these lines radiate only in the plane of the glass, for, as a matter of fact, they radiate out iu all directions, forming, as it were, a thick bunch. ' This can be readily shown by placing the glass plate over one end of the nifgnet and again sifting upon it the fine iron filings. It will be noticed that the filings, r.stead of spreading out, will bunch up and try to form upright lines. THE TOUNDATION PRINCIPLE. And now we are ready for the grand principle upon which we largely depend for the generation or electric currents. It is this: "If the 'lines-of force' of a magnet are cut with a closed circuit of wire, a cur rent of electricity will be generated in the wire during the time ot cutting." Let us examine this law more closely. Imagine a spray of fine lines then, if 'by a quick motion ot a closed wire circuit we cut any or all of the fine lines in the spray, a current of electricity will be generated in the closed circuit But if this closed current be moved parallel to the fine lines, that is, in between them, no current will be generated. The lines must be cut to generate a current. The greater the nnmber of lines cut.in a given time, the stronger will be the current generated. INCREASING THE CURRENT. If we use two similar closed 'wires, side by side, au equal amount of current will be generated in each wire. If we increase the strength and number of the magnets used we also increase the strength of the current. So that to generate a powerful electric cur-' rent we must have a great many closed wires and with those rapidly cut the Hues of force of one or more powerful magnets. And this is what is done in the dynamo. Here a great many wires are wound on the surface of a drum or "armature," as it is called, in such a way, that is, lengthwise ot the drum, that when the drum is rapidly revolved in front of the powerful magnets, the wires will cut the "lines of torce" ot the magnets and so generate an electric current in each wire. CONNECTING THE "WIRES. If now we open all those closed wires each end will represent a pole half of the poles being positive and half negative just like the poles oi so many batteries, aud, lite them, each wire will give a certain pressure and a certain quantity. If we want quantity we must, as with batteries, connect the positive poles together to make one positing, and the negatives to make one negative, aud the total quantity will be the sum of the individual quantities furnished by each wire; or, if we want pressure, we must connect the negative ot one to the positive of the other, and the negative of this to the positive ol the next, and so on. The pressure between the two ends left over will be the added pressure of the in dividual wiiesr This first method ot con nection, that is, for quantity, is called "p-irallel" connection, the second "series" connection. If te want both pressure and quantity we must connect sets of wires in "parallel," and then connect these sets iu "series." OBTAINING BEST RESULTS. The above will serve to explain the action of the dyuaaio iu its simplest form. In practice, however, the winding of the armature is olten a very complicated, af fair, the results ot which cinnot well be entered into here. Near the end of the armature shaft are two rings called "col lectors," one ring being connected to one pole of the armature, and the other ring to the other pole of the armature. Upon each of these rings or "collectors" there is pressed, by means of a spriug, a bundle of thin copper strips called "brushes," so that when the armature, shaft aud collector rings rotate the "brushes" will always be iu contact with the rings. The ends of these two "brushes" then form the two poles of the dynamo, and from oue of these poles the current is led out out into the streets and bouses to the lamps and then back to the other pole, thus closing the circuit. The armature is, of course, put into rapid rotation by means of a steam engine, waterfall, or other con venient power. ONLY A CONDITION. And, now we are ready to understand that electricity is a coudition of things and that it requires power to bring about this condi tion. For when the dyunmo armature is at rest, the wires ou it are "dead," so to speak, and just like any other wire. But when power is applied to put the armature in rapid rotation, a eel-tain condition ot things is brought about in the wire, which we call electricity aud which inagnides itself in many well known ways. It is a lortn of en ergy, because it required jiowcr to produce it, aud it in turn will reproduce power. Heat is a form of energy and is therefore a condition of things. We cannot readily see heat aor can we weigh it or touch it But we recognize its presence by its proper ties, as for example, heat will expand air, melt ice, thetals or boil water and so on. This form pi energy then we call heat THE ELECTRO MAGNET. And itjs withEth'atvformtof energy wewrenow-considering electricity. StTffDAY, OCTOBER 5, We recognize it by its properties. Some of those are here given. If a "live wire," that is, a wire with a current of electricity flow ing through it, is wound arouod a piece of soft iron, the iron will become a magnet and in this state is called an "electro magnet," to distinguish it from the ordinary permanent or steel magnet It Is the electro-magnet that is used in dynamos. If the current or wire is removed lrom the iron the magnetic properties will at once disippear. If the two poles of an electric circuit are dipped into a pail of water, the water will be decomposed, and if with onr hands we grasp the two ends of a "live wire," a sin gular sensation will be produced, which we call an "electric shock." That condition of things existing in a wire, theref6re,which will decompose water, make a magnet and give a shock, we call electricity. And that condition of things which will melt ice we call heat POWER 13 NECESSARY. Electricity, heat, a waterfall, a wound-up spring, gunpowder, wind and compressed air all represent & condition of things called energy. Each one can be recognized by its properties and made to do work. It will now be easy to understand why it requires power to make any change in the condition of things. It requires power to wind up a spring, to lift a weight, to compress air or move a train oi cars. And for the same reason it requires power to change the con dition of a wire from that state in which we call it "dead" to that state in which we call it "live," that is, having electric properties. If we remove the wire irom the armature o a dynamo, it will require very little power to set the armature in rapid rotation. But when the wires are on, they cut heavily through the "lines ot force," like a knife passing through cheese. And thus Xhe power or energy of a steam engine is trans formed Int6 that form of energy called elec tricity. Scire Facias. .INCIDENTS OF THE WAR, A Union Soldler'a Remmiacencea That Never Wrrr In Print Befoie. IWKITTKN FOB THE DISTATCU.l Little Bound Top at Gettysburg was an al most impregnable position. It was covered with large bowlders behind which our troops took a safe refuge, yet a nnmber were shot while passing'from one rock to another and at these passage ways the enemy's sharpshooter kept up his most accurate and fatal Bre. Any one attempting to pass was as good as dead he fore the attempt was made. General Slocum pointed out two large rucks between which was a space ot about three feet. At this one spot 25 soldiers met their fpte. The "Devil's Den" was immediately opposite, and it was in this den that the suarpshnoters were concealed. General Hikes made several unsuccessful at tempts to get the fellows out. Between Little Bound Top and Devil's Den was a marsh perhaps two feet deep. The enemy attempted to get across this, but the at tempt was very disastrous. The soldiers were baffled in every attempt to dislodge the Round Toj.pers. and many a rebel was killed while wading through this mud. Some could be seen in a sitting position cold in death. Others bored with bullets died sticking in the mire np to their knees, their bodies bent forward, back ward and iu all conceivable postures. The line of battle at Gettysburg was the shape of a fish hook. The straight end or top of the hook was on Round Top, while the barb was around Cemetery or Gulp's hill. The hook was five or six miles long, a pretty good sized hook, hut it was well handled and landed quite a nnmber of the gray fellows who attempted to capture the bait on the barb. .. General Meade always supplied the ar tillery with a suflkletft infantry support, which is essential in case of a charge lrom the enemy. Artillery can take care of itself in a battle with the same opposing force, but when it conies to a charge of infantry or cavalry it will be compelled to "limber to the rear." .. At Gettysburg the cannoneers attached a long rope to the trail of their gun carriages and hauled the guns along while they were being loaded. This kind of lighting occurs only when the artillery is not in much of a hurry to get away, bnt still is compelled to go. .. Two weeks after the battle of Gettysburg same pretty sharp mesages passed between General Halleck at Washington and General Meade in command of the Army of the Poto mac in the field where observations could be seen. I quote Halleck to Meade: "I need hardly say to you that the escape of Lee's army without another battle has created great dissatisfaction in the mlud of the President, and it will require an energetic pursuit on your part to remove the impression that it has not been sufficiently active heretofore." Such messages as this were always sent after a battle had been fought, and the smart fellows at Washington were advised ot it. In reply to the above General Meade fired a shell loaded with good sense at Halleck which, when it exploded, contained the following: "Having performed my duty conscientiously and to the best ot my ability, the censure of the President conveyed in vour dipatch of this day is. In my judgment, so undeserved thatl feel compelled most respectfully to ask to be immediately relieved from the command of this army." This sort of took the starch out of General Halleck, who replied: "My telesrram stating the disappointment of the President at the escape of Lee's army was not intended as a censure, but as a stimulus to active pursuit. It is not oeemed a sufficient cause for your application to be relieved." General Meade stayed with the Army of the Potooiac until the finale. . Bounty jumpers, as they were called, were a queer conglomeration of beings. To see 100 of them brought back and put into service after having a good time away from the army was more Interesting than to see a well-stocked museum of expensive monkeys and kangaroos. One fellow would be dressed in a blue suit, plug bat, pigeon-tailedcnat with brass buttons, cuffs sticking out of his coatsleeves far enough to tip the ends of his fingers. Another would have a tight fitting suit, something like our penitentiary garb. Of 100 no two would wear ciocnes au&o nor were mere iwo ui mu same size. These scamps are quite numerous now and do the most boisterous talking when it comes to charging on batteries, etc .. The cavalry service, which had heretofore been of little account, or at least had not been urged to very active service, surprised itself when It became engaged at Gettysburg and found out what war was. Kvery order given tbem was most energetically carried out with out complaint with a single exrrp ion. This was an order given by General Kilpatrick to General j?arnsworth. the consummation of which, if it had been ai tempted, would have resulted in the destruction of Farnswortb's little band. This shows General Farasworth's humane feeling and disregard for self. Gen eral Kilpatrick impetuously gave the order to Farnsuortb to make the last chirge. (This was near Bound Top and in rear of the enemy.) Farnsuortb spoke with emotion: "General, do you mean it? Shall I throw my handful of lnon oyer rough ground, through timber against a brisade of infantry? The First Ver mont has already been fouilit half to pieces; the are too good men to kill," Kilpatrick s.id: "Do you refuse to obey mv oril.-rs? If you are afraid to lead this charge I will lead it." Karnsworth ro? e in his stirrups. He looked magnificent in his passiou, and cried: "Take that hack." Kilpatrick returned his defiance, but soon reneutiug. salu: "1 did nt mean it; forgt it." For a moment there was silence, when Farijs worth spoke calmly: "General, it you order the charge I will lead it, but you must take ,tue responsibilit)." The charge was made, and Farnsworth fell In the enemy's lines dead with tire wounds Union faoLDiEK. A CHINESE MISSIONARY. One Conveited In Brooklyn Goea Home to Introduce Christianity.

The Sena torial contest which is now waging in Georgia means the retirement of Senator Joe Brown. General Lawton, of Savannah, who was Minister to Itussia during the last administration, tells me that ISrown is on the edge of the grave.

Senator In calls took him lor a sucker, but bis sarcastic re marks made Ingalls wince, and though In galls gave Brown a good lashing with his vitriolic tongue, Brown's words sunk into Ingalls' soul and made him thoroughly re spect htm. BOB TOOMBS' ESTIMATE. The only innocent things about Brown are his looks. Bob Toombs, who was the direct opposite of Brown in every respect, and who hated him with all the power ot his big soul, used to say that Brown was smart enough to steal the shortening out of a bis cuit without breaking the crust, and so mean that he would carry an umbrella up in the air on a dry day to save the waste in wearing out the ferule. These were, however, the words of an enemy. Brown and Toombs were men ol different schools, and their lives were as far apart as the Doles. Toombs was a patrician and he came of the first families of Georgia. He was born rich, and the blood of his veins was as blue as the skies. ( Brown is a plebeian of the plebeians. His father was one of the poor white trash of South Carolina, who emigrated to Georgia when Joe Brown was a barefoot boy in his teens. Brown drove into the State in an old cart harnessed to a bull. This bull had a bell on his neck, and there is a story that when they came to a ferry Brown had no money to pay to get himself across the river. He made a trade with the ferryman to take him across tor the bell, and Bob Toombs once said that he wished the old boat had gone down and drowned Brown and his bell aud bull. Nevertheless Brown is many times a millionaire and, the fact that he became so, necessitated economy and a watching of the pennies such as Bob Toombs thought no gentleman could possess. TOO MUCH MONET TO COUNT. It is hard to tell just how rich Joe Brown is. I have seen it estimated at $60,000,000, bnt this was years ago and he once wrote me that his fortune was greatly overesti mated. General Lawton tells me that he is the richest man in Georgia if not in the whole South, and he says that Brown's coal mines in the northern part of his State near Tennessee are as valuable as though they were underlaid with gold. In addition to these Brown has railroad stocks and mining stocks and I was told the other day that he owns the greater part of a town in Texas. He began to make money as soon as he was old enough to crawl. He went from Georgia to South Carolina to school and drove his steers along selling them to the keepers of the Academy for eight months' board. He went into debt lor his tuition and taught during hii vaca tions to get money to pay his debts. He was a good school teacher aud after be was through with the academy he studied law while be was teaching school. As soon as he was admitted to the bar he borrowed money enough to give him a year at the Tale law school and as soon as he was through with this he hung out his shingle. LAW AND SPECULATION. S Brown made money at the law. His first year's fees netted him 51,200. His practice grew and he was soon making $3,000 a year. He invested bis fees and made a lot of money in speculation. He bought a piece oi land tor $450. A copper miue was found ou it and he sold a half interest iu it for $25,000. He was then elected Judge, and while Judge was nominated for Governor aud Ben Hill was his opponent. Hill was one of the most popular men in Georgia and he thought he had a walkover. Brown canvassed the State, talked like the common people, exhorted at the prayer meetings, kis'ed all the babies and was elected by 10,000 majority. The war came on while hu was Governor, and it is said he even made money out of the war. One story is that he saw the need the South would have as soon as the war would close for cotton cards. Brown bonght a great amount of these cards cheap and sold them at good prices. He made money later on in convict libor, and it is said that a great many of his mines are now worked by convicts. DON'T CABE FOB APPEARANCES. He has three-quarters of a million dollars in Atlauta real estate, and although the house he lives in there did not cost more than" $3,000 to build, it adjoins the mansion of his sou Julius, which cost S75.000, and ic is surrounded by tour acres of unkempt grass and trees which are worth at least $50,000. Brown cares but little for appear ances, and he pastures his cows and horses in the back yard. He lived just as simply while he was here at Washington. He bad for a time Henry Clay's old room at the National Hotel, and he afterwanl had quarters in a modest flat ou Iowa Circle. Ue did uot keen a carriage here.although his income must have been over $10,000 a month, aud both bis dyspeptic stomach and his in clinatiops call tor a moderate table. His gastronomic tastes are very simple. One day in the cloakroom of the Senate Hampton, Butler aud'Brown were chatting of the good things of the table. Wade Hampton said that the best thing on earth was canvass-back ducc washed down with champagne. Senator Butler went into ecstacie3 over terrapin and good sherry, and told how he liked to have a dlnuer served with a royal old crowd of boys around him. BKOWN'.S HEATEN ON EAETH. Brown listened and finally broke in "Well, gentlemen, you may talk of your terrapin and champagne, of your sherry and vour canvass-backs; you may have your crowd of boys and all that; buMhebest dinner on eirrth to me is a quiet little table' with my wife and a dish of puddle-duck and sweet potatoes upou it" When Brown first came to Washington he had neverworu a dress suit. He con cluded to go into society one winter and he had one made lor him. Instead of using broadcloth he had it made of beaver, the same material of which overcoats are made, aud in tnis, with a good chest protector, lie defied the White .House draughts. Of late years he has not gone mtu society at all. He is a great family man, and his wife has done much to help him in his work. She keeps his scrap hooks for him, and he has two' in one ol which all the good things said about him nre pasted and in the other all the meau things. These scrap book are quite large find they contain many interest ing stories. Brown used to read his speeches 'over to his wile before bedelivered them in the Senate, and lam. told she4elped him considerably inlooklnc'-UD'his reterenceeV. n.e;iwaa;suBuyeaKwr,ttBUjtaBggMijaj v .

It Is doubtful whether General Gordon wll have as niuoh strength iu the Senate as be bad, though it may be that his efforts will be more to the good of the State and less for his own good than Brown's have been. General Gordon is a different man in every respect from Brown. He is a Bbowy fellow, has aristocratic tastes, and his speeohes will be full of brilliant sentences well uttered. I asked General lOawton to tell me something about Gordon. He re plied: "General Gordon is a man of more than ordinary abilitr. He is tall and fine lookiug, and were it not ior his scarred face, made so by the wounds received in battle, he mi;ht be called handsome. He was a fine officer during tbe war, was rapid in his movements and was nnta raid of any thing. He is a man of much more than ordinary ability. He has a capacity of say ing or writing the right thing at the right time, and he is a nice speaker and has a cood address. He will, I doubt not, be the next Senator." "Did you know Bob Toombs, General?" I asked. "Yes," replied General Lawton. "I knew him very well. When the war was over Toombs refused to take the oath ot allegiance. He was at bis house when the Union soldiers came to arrest him, bnt he was WABNED IN TIME, and he slipped out the back door and jumped upon a fast horse, which he had standing ready saddled for such an emergency. He galloped to the sea coast, took a.ship to tbe West InJies and finally got to Europe. It was some years before he came back, and wnen be again arrived in Georgia Senator Brown had turned Republican. This caused avrenewal ot' hostilities between him and Toombs. Toombs was noted for his bitter witticisms, and in order to draw him out, one day a friend of his asked, speaking of Brown's change of politics: 'Well, General Toombs, what do you think of your friend Brown now?' "Quick as a flash came the answer: 'I think his character casts a mellow shadow over tbe wickedness of Judas Isciriot.' " "Do you know anything," I asked, "of Joe Brown's duel with Toombs?" "There was no duel," replied General Lawton, "and I think Toombs acted very loolishly iu that matter. Toombs' charged Brown with bribery in engineering a bill through the Legislature. Brown replied that Toombs' statement was false, and de clared that Toombs was an unscrupulous liar. Upon this Toombs discussed the mat ter of sending a challenge with bis friends. COULD HAVE HAD A FIGHT. "Said he: What can I do with this hyp ocritical old deacon? If I challenge him'be will dodge behind tbe door of the Baptist Church. He then sent a note to Brown asking him if he would accept a challenge. Brown replied to this note saying that he was responsible for his own actions aud giv ing Toombs to understand that it would be time enough to state whether he would ac cept the challenge when the challenge was made. The result was that Toombs dropped the matter. I doubt not but that Brown wonld have fought if be had been chal lenged. He is a brave man and it is by no means safe to count ou his being anything else." Tom Ochiltree is now in Europe hobnob bing with the lords and dukes. He got bis entree to the best society there during the Grant administration. He then went abroad with a letter from the President and he be came acquainted with the Prince of Wales, Gladstone and a number of other notables. With this foundation for truth the Texas Colonel has related a number of steries about his experiences abroad in which it is hard to tell when the fact ends and the fic tion begins. ochiltbee's top boots. Dr. Bedloe, our Consul to Amoy, gives me tbe latest one. It relates to Ochiltree's last Congressional campaign, which he made after bis return from Europe. He stumped his district in top boots reaching to bis waist, with his pantaloons inside them. He was asked why he wore them, and re plied mat tney were all the go iu England and that the Prince of Wales had advised his wearing them. Tom told the Prince he did not think it was proper to wear them outside of a swamp, whereupon the Prince told him he was mistaken, and offered him a pair from bis own bootmaker on condition that he would wear them when he got to Texas. "Well," said Colonel Ochiltree, when speaking of the matter, "what could I do? The Prince's wish was equivalent to a com mand, aud I had to accept the boots. 'My dear 'ellow,' said I, as I patted Wales on his knee, 'I will start the style in the very best of our Texas social circles. Send me the boots and I promise to wear them.' And I want you to understand, gentlemen," as he puffed out his red cKeeks and looked fiercely out from under his sandy eyebrows, "that, whatever the newspapers stated to the contrary, Lam a mau of my word, and it is for that reason that I wear the boots."

Childs' place, at Bryd Mawr, as the finest and most ex pensively maintained country place in the United States, says the Philadelphia Press. Mr. Cbilds has just arranged for the erec tion of anew building on tbe grounds. It will cost $40,000. It will ouiy be a stable. It is said that it will be the finest in the country. It will take the place of the one that was recently set on fare and burnt down. On the average about 20 men. and 12 horses are required the year round to take care of the grounds and work the farm. Six men in summer are needed to look after thelawn, and the high-priced head gardener has six assistants. They average about $35 a month beside their keep. There are three men besides in the stable, when the family is at the place. One is an Euglish coachman, at $75 a month, one is a footman, and the third is a generally useful mau. There are also two men iu the house, who get something like $50 a month and ex cellent living. The cook is an old colored woman. She has provided entertainment ior all the distinguished people who have leen entertained at tiiat place. She has two people who assist her, nnd there are usually three or four other women servants there be sides Mrs. Childs' maid. The wages for the house servants and tbe other employes average usually about $1,000 a month. The palace itself has about $200, 000 tied up in it, and the interest on that sum counts, of course, in the yearly cost, and the annual outlay for improvements and repairs is also very large. The total cost ol the palace runs up, as far as a care ful estimate can follow it, to about $30,000 a year. A MUSICAL H07LTY. It laoKortof Piano,Jut VIsllua and'Celloa illnke iho founds. JUatrthester Courier. A new invention in musical instruments has been brought out in Austria by a manu facturer living at Pressburg, which is causing a good deal of interest, This is called a bow piauo, but is really a case re sembling a niano-'orte frame and containing 6 violins, 2 violas and 2 violoncellos, tbe strings of which are tuned to different notes. The instruments are connected by circular bands, which are brought into contact with the strings bv means of the keyboard, the hammers of which bear upon the "bands with varytng presture. The inktrumeut is said to produce a fine tone, so t or powerful; but the principal difficulty in brinemz it into practical use would, be the tuniug of the gut strings re quired, lis wire strings could uot be univers ally employed, aud it is feared il is only likely to be a musical curiosity.
