The moon shone brightly on the broad,
restless ocean, end seemed to join in the
wild sport of the waves, as they merrily
chased one another to shore. The few stars,
too, which had ventured forth in the light
of so bright a moon, smiled and pictured
themselves in the deep, blue water.
As little Margaret stood at the castle
window, and looked over the sea, she
thought: "If there are such beings as
mermaids and sea kings, they would surely i
oe anroau xo-nigni; ior everyone knows that
the sea nymphs love the moonlight. And
now that uure has gone down into the
servants hall, I shall watch here, and per
haps a mermaid will appear."
Margaret's lather was :v good, noble count,
who, alter the death of his dear wife several
vears ago, had built a beautiful castle on
this lonely shore, where only a few
poor fishermen lived. His daughter, al
though surrounded by every luxurv, had no
playmates, and her "books." were her only
companions. The little girl loved the sea,
and spent many happv hours on its shore.
She had read so much of water nymphs and
their wonderful homes that she longed
greatly to see one of these beautiful crea
tures and visit one of their palaces beneath
the water. AVhen the child had watched
the water for several hours she fancied she
saw fairy forms arise and heard soundj of
music.
"Thev are sea-nymphs, I know," whis
pered the little girl, "and I shall see them,
too."
Throwing a warm cloak over her shoulders
she stole through the long, silent halls, out
the cistle cate, and down to the lonely
shore. From her place on a rock over
looking the water, Margaret saw a strange,
beautiful ight The sea nvmphs were
surely holding a carnival. There was the
King, who could be known by his crown
snd scepter, near him was the Qneen in her
royal robes, while at a short distance from
daughter, granted her request, and the
fishers were allowed to pass unharmed in
their little boats. But still the veil could
not be found. During the long,
cold winter, when the sea nymphs
must remain in their palace, and
when Margaret could not walk on the shore
nor in the garden, the two little girls
thought they would make a veil, such as the
Princess had worn when she left her father's
home. The Count brought from a distant
citv the finest threads of silver, and the
children wove them it to a fine veil, which
when finished so resembled the lost one
that the Princess felt sure that she could
with it glide over the waves. On the first
day of spring, when the air was again soft
and warm, Margaret and Inga once more
sought the shore. The Sea King's daughter
threw the veil over her head and shoulders
and stepped boldly into the water. But
this veil was not the magic one, and the
little girl would certainly have been
drowned had not some kind fishermen
standing near gone to her rescue. A few
days later, as the two friends sat under an
arbor in the castle garden, a little yellow
bird perched on an overhanging bush, sang
loud and long.
"Listen, Inga," said Margaret, "I think
the bird is trying to talk to us. Maybe it
knows something about your veil." And,
looking up into the tree, she said:
"Little bird, we are listening; nave you
any message lor us?"
"I bring you a message from the Fairy
Queen," was the reply, "who is a true
friend of the Sea King. She says that a
wicked old witch, who desires to cause all
the distress and grief she can, saw the
Princess hide her veil under the rock, and
stole the beautiful silver gauze before sun
rise the next morning. The veil is now
hanging on the black wall of her hut, which
stands at a curve in the shore. If you would
take the veil, you must go to the hut an
hour before sunrise, as that is the time the
old witch goes in search of her breakfast"
The little bird then flew away, and early

THEIR FIRST BEAR.
LISTENING TO THE SWEET SOUNDS.
them were 200 of fairy creatures dancing the next morning, two little figures could be
over the wave. and singing gay Fongs. As
the little girl looked on with delight, she
raw oue from the number approach the
Xinrj and kneel down before himas if
begging for some favor. A few moments
later a little nymph was gliding over the
water toward the shore. Margaret's joy
knew no bounds, for she thought:
"2ow I t-hall be close to a mermaid, and
talk to one."
And when the water fairy reached the
there, the little girl ran to meet her, cry
ing: "Dear little water nymph, I am so glad
that you hae come. Please stay with me."
The nj taph looked into the kind, friendly
eyes, gazing so earneitly into her own, and
nsked:
"Are vou Margaret, the Count's daugh
ter?" When Margaret had told that she was,
tic nymph continued:
"I cm Inga, the Sea King's daughter, and
nil my iile hnve lived under the waves. At
last, I have gained my lather's permission
to spend oue day on the shore. As the
iisbcrnieii, ii the boats,pasover our palace,
I have beard them say that you were good
nnd land, and I thought I should try to find
you; but I did not expect to see you until
morning."
'X saw your people from my window,"
raid Margaret, nnd I came down to the
ihore to gain a nearer view. !Sow, we shall
go home, and In the morning I will show
you iur beautiful gardens and the castle."
Insa wore over tier light goldeuhaira
pilvcr gauze veii, without which she could
not lire in the water, and in accordance
with her father's wishes she was to hide it
on the shore until she nas ready to return
home. Margaret wrapned the veil in her
line linen handkerchief, and hid it under a
large rock. Then the two little girls went
to the catle, and the next day
the Count's daughter and her little
puest v.andeied through the gardens, where
every tre and flower were a new delight to
Inga. The iittle ea princess had never
heard the birds sig, and every sparrow's
chirp was a pi -asure to her. 'When the
time came that Ju-a Mas to return to her
home, Mai-garet bjdly accompanied her
friend to tne shore, tiiat she might nave a
last good bye as sh glided over the -naves.
They first went to the rock to find the veil;
but when they lifted the btone, the beauti
ful silver gauze was ijone, aud although the
children searched diligently, it could not be
found.
The Sea King, who was now too old to go far
from lus palace, called his daughter to
hasten Immt, and when he heard that the
veil vas l.t lie was very angry. All the
sea nymphs ran to the shore to join in the
search ic.r the veil; but morning came,
end the iiymjihs must return to the water,
and the veil was still missing, and the
Princess mut remain on the shore. For
Many cays Margaret nnd Intra continued to
Fiearch lyr the veil: but all their efforts
were in vain. The little sea nymph might
Imve been vcrv happv in the Count's castle.
Jor everyone loved her, and Margaret never
tired ol hearing about the crystal palace
trader Ihe water, with its gardens
' , re4 autl white coral and
walls of the most delicate sea shells;
but the Princess knew how iicr father and
mother grieved for their only child. And
Inga, too, ofttu longed to join te nvmphs
5n tbeii donees on the waves. The Sea King
declared that some poor fisherman had
stolen the veil on account of its great value,
end lie determined to avenge himself for
the loss of his daughter. It thus happened
that vcry filler that ventured ut in his
boat was, at the comniaud ol the Kinc,
seized by the angry nvmphs and drowned
in the waves, until Injja, seeing the great
sorrow that came upon the poor families on
Ifeeshore, sent a nymph to her father to beg
tbot he would destroy no more lives. Tiie
Jung, who could refuse no wish of bis
seen stealing along the sandv shore. When
they reached the miserable hut, the witoh
had gone out. Margaret entered the house,
and, taking down the magio veil, hung in
its place the one which she and Inga nad
made. They then hurried away, and that
night when the moon arose, Inga and the
Count's daughter made their way to the
shore, and a few moments later, the water
nymphs and the Sea King appeared. Inga
threw the veil about her, and stepping into
the water, cried: "Father, I am coming
home to you and mother."
As Margaret looked regretfully after her
friend, she saw her reach the King and re
ceive his loving embraces, while the nymphs
danced about for joy. Inga now olten
waves her hand to Margaret, and sends her
rich gifts by her nymphs, but she never
ngain ventured to the shore, and to this
day the old witch thinks that the silver
veil hanging on her wall is the one she
stole from the Sea King's daughter.

Is Camp, Eoomr MomrrATKS, Col.,
Sept. 8. Our party arrived at Ft. Steele on
the 3d inst in good shape and found our
outfit waiting for us. We got a good start
the same afternoon and crossed the Sierra
Madre Mountains into Colorado and pitched
our tents on the headwaters of the Tampa
or Bear river some 40 or 60 miles west of the
North Park. Our guide, old Joe "Walters,
says that this is the paradise for grizzlies.
Our party consists of 11 persons, with a
pack train of 32 horses, including saddle
horses, etc. Nothing occurred until this
morning worthy of note, except an occasion
al deer or antelope being shot. Deer are
quite plenty in bands of from two to eight.
Antelope are thick. "We have noticed some
bands with probably 60 head. The deer
were all what they call black tail or mule
deer, and are much larger than the white
tail deer found in the Allegheny range. "We
probably could have shot 20 deer to-day had
we been so inclined.
I feel quite comfortable with my overcoat
and arctics on. All day yesterday signs of
elk were quite plenty, but as vet none have
been sighted. In the evening we took two
bear traps, went up the gulch and baited
tnem. we iook one large trap and a
smaller bear trap that Mr. Holmes nas used
for black bear in the Adirondacks. "We
smeared these traps well with honey and
hung a piece of antelope on a tree above
them, and were then readyfor business.
By this time it was night We returned to
camp, and what time we were not awake we
spent dreaming of grizzlies. This morning
McCloud, Holmes, Lyons and myself, all
mounted, went to examine the traps. "When
we were within 40 yards of them, we could
hear a fearful growling. In a few moments
we were in sight of the traps.
In the smaller trap was a 700-pound griz
zly caught by the hind leg. On sighting
us, the trap not being heavy enough, he
pulled loose and ran down into a small
patch of willows and brush, ahout a quarter
of an acre in extent, where he remained to
await further develomnents. None of the
party semed to have "sand" enoDgh to go
in after him, so we concluded to surround
him and set fire to one side of the brush.
As the horse I rode would not stand shoot
ing from the saddle I dismounted and took
my position on the west side, which com
manded the lower and upper end of the
patch of willows. Lyons was at the head
of the gulch, Holmes on the east and Mc
Cloud started the fire on the lower side.
The small drr brush burned rapidly. I
really expected the bear to come out on
Holmes' side, as he was next the timber,
dui instead he came out sooner than we ex
pected, and charged full on Lyons. Before
Lyons could fire his horse became unman
ageable, and being among some small fallen
trees, fell over backward with Lyons on
him.
At this critical stage of the game the
bear halted about five yards from Lyons,
apparently not having made up his mind
what to do. I was 25 yards off and Holmes
S3. The bear was now between our cross
fire. Holmes was the first to get lead into
him. I did not dare to shoot until I had
changed my position as Lyons was in line of
my shooting, still lying on the ground, and,
I supposed, killed by his fall. JFrom where
the bear first halted he did not change his
position ten feet before we battered him
down. Holmes and myself had 14 bullets
into him in half as many seconds. Lyons,
who had been unconscious from his fall, was
now getting up and outside of a scratched
face and sprained wrist, was not hurt. The
sights were broken off his gun. His horse
had fared worse. His hind: leg was broken
and we were compelled to shoot him to put
an end to his sufferings. The bear was a
monster and quite fat. "We will have our
first bear steak for supper.
To-morrow we shall move our camp about
15 miles from here to a small park where
we will find excellent grazing for our horses,
make a permanent camp and co to work in
earnest, and from the signs of bear in this
vicinity, think we will have our hands full.
"We shall send this letter by carrier acrois
the range to a ranche where there is a post
office, about 75 miles from here, on a branch
of the North Platte. The guide will take
an extra horse with him, and expects to
make the return trip in three days.

rWKITTIN FOB THE DISr-ATCH.1
"Whatever may be said about the need of
religious principles in business, there can
be no question as to the need of certain
business principles in religion. Christ
himself pronounced the children of this
world wiser than the children of light.
"We do not talk much nowadays about the
"children of this world" or the "children
of light." These old phrases have ceased
out of our modern conversation. "We never
hear them on Monday. They need transla
tion. But what they mean when we set
them over into the language of our own day
is quite plain to see and easy of under
standing. The children of this world are
the people who think more about this world
than they do about the next, and the
children of lieht are the people who have
been taught better than that, who ought to
see clearer than that
THE PURITAN" DISIETCTIOITS.
It is true that there is no such sharp dis
tinction possible in human society as would
enable us to divide our neighbors into these
two classes, and to set some here on the
right and others there on the ignominious
lelt God will do that one of these days.
But, meanwhile, "judge not before the
time" is a good rule. "We will be wiser to
leave it alone. The Puritans tried it once,
and wrote down as the sinners all who did
not speak in the accent of their excellent
company. But the Puritans were mistaken.
Saints and sinners are somehow, inextric
ably intermingled in the tangle of human
life. The tares and the wheat look so as
tonishingly alike that even the best theo
logical botanists cannot certainly distinguish
the one from the other. "We would better
let that alone. "We are safe, however, in
recognizing the "world" and the "light" as
representing the two divisions into which
all the interests of life must fall, the eternal
and the transitory. These two divisions di
vide between them the thoughts of every
human being. Fven the saint cannot give
his absolutely undivided attention to things
eternal. Bread and butter are not eternal.
A DtFFEBENCB OF EMPHASIS.
The diSerence which God sees among-us,
which enables him to know some of us as
children of this world, and others of us as
children of light, is a difference of emphasis.
The question is not a question of exclusion
but of preference. We must care for both
the transitory and the permanent, must
think about the things that perish and the
things that last but which do we think
about and care about the most? That ia
what God looks to see.
And Christ says that a good many people
are wiser about transitory things than they
are about eternal things, that they put more
sense into their business than they do into
their religion.
Everybody in the world, who has any
sense at all, desires to succeed in religion.
For it is evident upon the least reflection
that that is the only permanent success.
There will be no money in the world to
come. Among the "many mansions" of
the holy city there will be none of the sig
nificant differences which we see about us
here. Anyhow, there will be no tenement
houses. And there will be no social dis
tinctions in that other-country, except the
differences which aro
ont all the time for new ideas, new methods,
uew improvements, better conditions. It
is not enough that a man keep faithfully at
work. That never wins any but the lower
stages of success. "Whoever is content with
that, stays where he is, never gets on. The
man who gets on is all the time working
not only at his business hut at himself. He
wants to make himself better than his busi
ness, and then to bring his business up after
him. For success in anything depends
upon the man.
THE ALEKT BUSINESS MAN.
Accordingly, the alert business man
keeps his eyes open; nothing in the papers
misses him which he can turn to account;
every good book which deals with his de
partment of industry, he read; wherever
he goes he looks around to learn something;
nothing pleases him better than to get into
the company of the masters of his trade.
Now, if any man wants to make a success
of religion, let him not think that he can
attain it in any other way than that The

There is a difference in gardening between
raising wheat and raisinar roses, but they
both need the earth and" the sun and the
rain. These are essential conditions. And
the essential conditions of success in reli
gion and in business are identical.
And yet, who does not know men, men of
business sense, who seem to have no reli
gious sense at all? Surely, they do not
want to make a failure of religion. Surely,
they are 'not disposed to adventure their im
mortal souls. But what are they doing to
make themselves men of religion which
can compare with what they Bre doing daily
to make themselves good men of business?

The question as to what this man or that
is "worth" will not be answered there by
any sum of dollars. All that we will leave
behind us when we die. The only success
that lasts is success In religion. And re
ligion has to do with God. There is no re
ligion without God. You know what the
Bible says about stood works without faith:
it says that tbey are dead, that they count
for nothing at all, do not exist And iaith
is the upward look toward God.
You know what St Paul savs about char
ity: That a man may give all his goods to
feed the poor, and yet, if he have not
charity, it profits nothing. Let nobody
think he can be religious without God.
Morality is not religion. There is as much
difference between morality and religion as
there is between a cfcna man and a live man.
The difference is in that vital spark, some-
uiues caiieu iaiui. Bumeuznes caueu. cnarity.
which brings the soul into oonscious rela
tion with God.
ATT ALL-IMPOKTANT Z.AOK.
You may be the most moral man that ever
kept the last six commandments, but unless
you live your good life thinking of God,
desiring the approbation and dreading the
displeasure of God, striving to learn the
will of God and loving God "one thing
thou lackest," and that a lack so immeasur
vbly important that all else is ruined by
Hiat lack. I don't believe that any child
who didn't care for his father really pleased
his father. Beligion is the pleasing of God
our Father. Morality is tne pleasing of
one's self or one's neighbors. The most im
portant fact that enters into human life is
the fact of the existence of God. "Without
God there is no religion.
Now, what we want is success in religion.
Ana wnat i. desire to say is that success
in religion, like success in business, de
pends on certain business principles.
One of these business principles is that
nobody can do anything without trying.
Nobody can make any progress in either
business or religion without trying. There
is no success without attention. There is
no way in this world by which to get some
thing for nothing, except stealing. "Who
ever wants anything worth having has got
to work for it
BILLS WTLL NOT PAT THEMSELVES.
Some people seem to think that the re
ligious part of life will somehow look after
itself, that it can get along without atten
tion. But men know better than that in
business. The goods won't sell themselves;
the bills won't pay themselves. There are
a thousand things that must be done, must
be looked after, must be set down in the
books and added up, must be thought out
and decided, every day. The business man
who makes a success of business gives his
mind to it "Why, not even a garden nor
the roof of a house will get along without
attention. "Whoever would make a suo
cess of religion must give attention to reli
gion. That means an endeavor, all day long,
and every day, to please God. It means an
applying of the test of the approDation of
God to every detail of our ordinary life.
"We know pretty well what sort of things
please God. We know that telling the
honest truth pleases him, and Btraight for
ward dealing, and brotherly speech, and
the endeavor to help those who are
down. The Sermon on the Mount is not
written in, the Bible for nothing
STJPEEME INTEKEST OF HUMAN LIFE,
is that search for opportunity and seizure
of it, that hospitality to new truth, that
constant endeavor after betterment, that de
Bire to learn, which we see in lesser things?
These men think that they con succeed in
religion upon conditions which in every
other department of life mean nothing but
fiat failure.
For example, it is notorious that a good
many bright men are not to be seen in the
churches. Anybody can make a list, in two
minutes, of active merchants, lawyers,
clerks, architects, physicians, who are busy
and alert every dayin the week except Sun
day. They don't miss a business opportu
nity once a year, but they miss a religious,
opportunity once every seven days. They
are active members of every association
which touches the business side of their
life, bnt you will not find their names on the
communicant list of any church. They are
prominent everywhere except "in the Chris
tian congregation.
THEY KNO'W THE TEUTH.
They want to make the most of their life.
Every one of them would say that And
they don't believe that death is the end of
life. Very few of them would say that
They believe that life goes on through the
gate of death, and only gets broader and
better on the other side. And they know
that the next life depends on this life, just
as surely as to-morrow is built upon to-day.
And they know that there will be no law
cases, and no diseases for prescription, and
no buying nor selling, no iron mills nor
railroads in the world to come. The transi
tory will pass away; only the eternal will
be of interest in eternity. They know that
the soul is better than the body. And that
religion is really of more consequence even
than money-makine. But it seems to ma
that they are not fulfilling the conditions of
religious success.
I don't believe that church-going is by
any means synonomous with religion. But
I know that it is a pretty fairly accurate
Bymbol of religion. Neither is a thermome
ter synonomous with heat. But there is a
good deal of significance in what the ther
mometer says. Church attendance is at
least the
THERMOMETER OF BELIOION.
And when it stands at zero the chances
are that religious enthusiasm is pretty oold.
People who are interested in business are to
be seen at the desk or behind the counter at
their work. And people who are really -interested
in religion are likely to be seen at
church. That which indicates 'failure in
business is not a good indication of success
in religion.
"What we ask, then, of every intelligent-
man who desires to make a success of the
best part of hislife is that he will simply
brin some of his business principles into
religion. At least these two, the principle
of attention and the principle of advance
ment. Certain it is that no kind of desira
ble success can be won anywhere without
trying, and trying hard. We cannot sleep
out "our own salvation;" we must "work

THE PURPOSE OF RELIGION.
Now, to please God is the purpose of re
ligion just as money making is the purpose
ol business. Let us see, then. "We know,
for example, what kind of words please God
just as well as we know what kind of bar
gains make money. Don't enter into that
sale, because you will lose by it lose what?
lose money, lose success in business. Don't
utter that speech because you will lose by

good will of a customer than to keep the
good will of the Lord God Almighty? And
yet, does everybody shun a bad word like a
bad bargain? Are not the children of this

Another good business principle, which
is just as good in religion as it is in busi

The Condition of England's Working Peo
ple an Argument for Restriction,
Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, fresh from his
trip to Europe, has this to say to a St Louis
Globe-Democrat correspondent: England is
the dumping ground of Europe; tnat is, the
undesirable population of the continent is
encouraged to immigrate to England. Eng
land encourages a further immigration to
the United States. The distressing condi
tion of the poorer people of London is ag
gravated by the influx of these undesirable
foreigners. And the result is to be seen on
every hand. As in Now York and other
large cities in the United States, the for
eigners who know nothing of the rights of
native workmen take the places of the lat
ter and work for a good deal less money.
Much misery is therefore experienced by
the native British workinmen.
To see the effect unrestricted immigration
to England has had upon ihe workinirmen
of that country is an argument in favor of
shutting our own doors to the same classes
that come here. The United States is the
Mecca of the poor and oppressed people of
Europe. A great many of them deny them
selTes the necessaries of life that they may
save enough money to pay their passage to
this country. Once here they think thit
prosperity will flow to them without inter- J
rupuon.

regarding the summer movements of people
in our set may be of interest to our many
readers, and published will be regarded
as a special lavor by those parties whose
names have been surreptitiously sent in to
me:
Mr. A. Wetmore Bumsey is back from
Bar Harbor, whither he has been valetinir
for Mr. De FuyBter Packenham, of Cook
county, HI. Mr. Bumsey does not know
whether he will return to Bar Harbor again
this season or not Much, he says, will de
pend upon how Mr. De Fuyster Packen
ham feels about it.
Miss Coudert Veazy is undoubtedly the
belle of Sandy Mush this season. To see
her moisten her pink finger and paste one
of our large purple top or low dwarf fleas is'
well worth a seasick and ohoppy ride over
the nebular and gummy roads of Buncombe
county. Her "reported engagement to Mr.
George Vanderbilt and other celebrated,
men of Buncombe county was denied by
Miss Veazy almost before the report started.
She will remain here till irost. aud possf

people of Gethseminy.
AN ACCDDENT THAT THBTLS SOCIETY.
Miss Clandestine Wartz met up with a
serious accident while riding Monroe Tush
maker's claybankmare Emulsion last week.
It was at or near the foot of Mount Busbee,
on the Hendersonville road, and it seemed
like the mare sat down on a chinkopin burr
by the roadside to think over her past life
and pass resolutions regarding her policy
for the future. Maddened by pain, the
spirited animal, with dilated nostrils and
erect tail, lashing it ever and anon to and
fro across her chest and stomach, undertook
to climb a curly poplar tree with her shoes
on. She had not, therefore, ascended more
than 20 feet with her young mistress when
she lost her grip and fell the entire dis
tance, falling on her fair burden and and
bursting her surcingle (her own surcingle,
we mean). Miss Wartz was greatly
shocked, and as soon as possible pushed the
unwieldly brute off, as it was lying across
her chest at the time. Miss Wartz is one of
the best equestrian riders of South Tincture,
Ala., but says that where the horses are
mostly prehensile and people have to climb
trees to get around a mud hole it is time to
call a halt
Apropos of the afore item, Mr. Recom
pense Stillwagon laid on our table yester
day a dead colt, for which he will please ac
cept thanks. It only lived a few days, he
said, but is a most peculiar formation. Mr.
Stillwagon says that he has seen a number
of these anomalies within the past few
years, which shows, as he goes on to state,
that the North Carolina horse is gradually
changing to meet the demands of his sur
roundings. WILL NOT-NEED BOADS.
Special attention is attracted toward the
tail, which is like that of the opossum,
enabling the animal to hang by it from a
tree while the wagon is being drawn from
the road, or possibly to swing from bough to
bough where the roads are impassable. Mr.
Stillwagon says that the time is not far dist
ant when no one will use the roads at alL
Many do not use them already. The time
is coming, he claims, when the Buncombe

Another amusing, but grateful, change to
an American is noted in the conduct of the
people, the independent swing of their at
titude, their freedom in criticising the ac
tions of provincial and Government officials.
In the old days, under the empire, it meant
treason to criticise the Administration
officials, and now the latter are abused and
compelled to explain in a manner that is
particularly homelike to a man from the
united States. The men who have money
are using it to make more, and not hoarding
it away as they did a few years ago. Every
body has confidence in the new form of gov

PRESIDENT HARRISON DIDN'T COME.
Miss Birdie Mudge, of Voreoloid, O.,
gave a Scotch plaid tea and marshmallow
roast day before yesterday, and invited the
President of the United States. It is
thought thathe did not get the letter. Danc
ing was had in the evening, which was only
marred by a cutting scrape, participated in
by the first violin aud the mouth organ man,
both colored. Miss Mudge was greatly
pained over the outcome, but not so much
so as the mouth organist, who accidentally
exposed some of his plans and specifications
connected with his digestive scheme. So
that it took the entire E string to sew him
up with. Birdie was greatly annoyed by
the occurrence, and said she was so glad, as
it turned out, that the Piesident did not
come.

Miss Valerian Brlggs, of Charleston,
whose father brought on the war and who
afterward regretted it, is stopping at the
Floating Island House. She is a beautiful
Southern girl of about 39 years, and loves to
discuss the war with people who are en

often empties a hotel porch or gets
her choice of the hammocks. She
was well brought up, however, and
before the war her father was very

A very remarkahle and entirely new
method of operating an electrio motor has
teen Invented hy H. T7ard Leonard. The
principle underlying the invention cannot
yet be disclosed, owing to foreign patents,
?,"" comDlete explanation, which is not
llfcely to be long delayed, Is awaited by elec
tricians with extreme Interest By Mr. Leon
ard s arrangement, the stu-riI or th mnmr.
.as well as the torque, can be varied inde
pendently, and the number of watts re
quired by the motor varied directly with
the work done under all conditions. This
system is not only new in electric devices,
but is an entirely new principle in me
chanics, for np to the present time there
never has been any motor, steam,water, gas,
electrio or otherwise, which would enable
one to attain any speed desired, and hold
that speed constantly, when the load varies
from zero to Its maximum.
Tho control of the motor Is effected by an
electrio device, -whli-h am i,,
quarter ampere. The speed is increased or
decreased at will, and the direction of rota
tion can be instantly changed. The applica
tion of this principle is almost universal,
the most important beinz to hoists, rail
ways, elevators, pumps, planers, in fact, to
all classes of work in which it is desired to
y?1,,,0 speed and vary the pnll or torque.
It will be possible to start a railway train
exerting the full pull, and yet with a con
sumption of power which will be extremely
small, as the starting speed will be ex.
tremelylow. The speed will be gradually
accelerated in a perfectly smooth manner,
the power required pradually Increasing as
the speed is increased. Tho application of
this system will raise traveling to a luxury,
and put an end to the nerve-tearing Joltin"
and jarring which all travelers are too
familiar with.
By the application of the new motor the
motion of the elevator will be controlled
perfectly from the elevator car in the most
simple manner, and the elevator can be
operated with perfect smootnncss at any
speea m eitner direction. It will also be
possible to control the motion of the ele
vator from any floor, so that in a private
residence it will be entirely unnecessary to
have any attendant, and anv person desir
ing to go up or down can bring the car to
the proper landing, and. after entering, con
trol it from within. The motion of the ele
vator both at the top and the bottom of tho
shaft will be automatically controlled, so
thataccidentswillbeimpossible. In caseof
the total stoppage or the electrical supply,
the car would immediately be locked auto
matically. In the matter of electric lighting this sys
tem will be specially valuable, and will
enable many souroes of power hitherto re
garded as unavailable to be utilized. Thus,
country residences willbeable to secure elec
trio lighting by power derived from a wind
mill, and railway trains can bo electrically
lighted by taking power from the axle, re
gardless of the speed. Another important
use of the motor will be made in connection
with large ships, the steering gear of which
can be absolutely and instantaneously con
trolled by this method from the pilot-house.
It will also bo extensively used on men-of-war,
in the handling of cons, and the moving
of heavy masses, all of which can be con
trolled with the utmost delicacy and ac
curacy. Enough has been said to show that one of
tho most wonderful Inventions of the age
has been not only elaborated, but brought
into practical and commercial shape, and
there is little reason to doubt that it will In
crease the utility and possibilities of elec
trical applications to an extent hitherto un
dreamt of.

Several well-known Market Street mer
chants were comparing dog notes.
"I have a little theory," said one, "that
George Eliot's philosophy of pretence our
doing or being what we are expected to do
or be can be applied to dogs as well as
men. A dog, even more than a man, will
be just what you expect him to be. Treat
him as though he were some giddy, frivo
lous, irresponsible youngster and he will at
once be such. If you expect him to uphold
the family dignity, he'll do it Bully him,
and he becomes a whining coward. Cheat
him, lie to him, rob him, and he'll retaliate
in kind. A dog and his master are always
of a kind and whatever the dog takes his
master to be, that he'll try to be also. I
remember hearing this little story, which
was said to be true: An English lady of
true cast, while visiting at a country house.
accidentiy stepped on the tail of a huge
mastiff. The dog at once seized her fiercely.
She, in the most winning way, said to the
dog, 'I beg your pardon.' He at once re
leased her. The whole action became both
dog and lady."
Doubts as to the Kineiosrapb.
A leading English engineering journal. In
discussing the merits of Edison's kineto
graph, points out that the first to achieve
success in photographing living creatures in
rapid motion was lluybridge, of San Fran
cisco. His pictures, when combined in the
zootrope, or when thrown on the screen by
the apparatus which its inventor called the
zoopraxlscope, gave absolutely correct rep
resentations of the movements of animals,
and showed nothing of the "Jerky and im
perfect motion" which, according to Mr. Ed
ison's statement, characterizes the attempts
of his predecessors. Muybridge was fol
lowed by the Frenchman Marey, and by the
German Anschntz, both of -whom obtained
improved results in consequence of the
progress which hud been made in photo
graphic processes. Anschntz'3 pictures
were recently exhibited in an ordinary zoe
trope at the Camera Club, London. Frlese
Greene, a clever young English photogra
pher, afterward devised an ingenious appa
ratus which had the same object andwhioh
appeared to work In Just tho same way as
Edison's invention. The journal in ques
tion states that It is difficult to see what ad
vance Edison has made on this, except that
with his great mechanical ingenuity, and
his command of mechanical appliances, he
has probably produced a inoio finished
piece of apparatus, working more smoothly
and accurately.
The real difficulty in carrying ont Edison's
proposals to the extent he suggests He9 in
the photographic part of the work. With
the films at present at the disposal of the
photographer, it is only possible toget these
very rapid pictures in a very brilliant light
Until yet further advance is made in the
sensitiveness of pbotographio plates (and
such advance may at any moment be made).
Edison will have to content himself witn
representations of sunlit scenes. When he
comes to the magio lantern representation
of stage plays, he will find that no artificial
light at present available will give him de
tailed photographs at the rate of 46 per
second.
ChanceTor American Inventors.
It will be of interest to American Inventors
to know that the Societo Industrielle of
Amiens, France, has offered for the season
1S9I-2 a number of prizes, consisting of
monoy, and gold and silver medals. These
are for answers to questions with reference
to electrical or kindred subjects. If a sub

other prizes offered are: A gold medal for a
brake dynamometer capable of replacing
the Prony brake, with more convenient
apparatus than the latter; a gold medal for a
simple and cheap dynamometer capable of
measuring the work absorbed by a tool or
machine driven by belt or gearing; a gold
medal lor a water puriderfor steam boilers,
simple, cheap, taking little space, and re
quiring little supervision; a gold medal for

the various methods employed in practice.
Further, a gold medal of 200 francs value will
be awarded to all papers that merit suoh a
prize, in arts or mechanics, In spinning, in
natnral history, physics, chemistry or agri
culture, and in commerce and political
economy.
Electric Car Belt
"With" electrio cars In general use, and
tho normal speed almost double that of
the horse car, a necessity arises which has
never before existed, for a far-sounding bell,
whose warning notes precede the car suffi
ciently to give ample time for people and
vehicles on the track to get clear before the
car comes up with them and suffers a delay.
A newly devised form of bell docs this very
effectually. Its operation being such that
when the hammer strikes the.gong the con
tact is made for such an infinitesimal part
v octuuu iimb hue uubu is uiear anu snarp

of the repetitions of the blow is absolutely

only to touch a push button with bis root to
insure tho instant response or the bell.

Slaking Ozone by Electricity.
It has long been known that It Is possible
to cenerate ozono by electricity, but It la
only recently that the manufacture of ozone
by this means has been reduced to a com
mercial basis. The best method of generat
ing ozone electrically is by means of the
silent discharge, and as early as 1S57 W. Vou
Siemens designed his well-known ozone
tube, which is still nsed in laboratories. A
modification of this principle Is now
adopted by a Berlin firm In the commercial
production of this valuable disinfectant
Among the many applications to which
ozone lends itself is the disinfecting and
sterilizing of water, there being good reason
for assuming that the worst natural water
can be inado potable by ozonizing. It is
also used in bleaching processes, and in the
curing of wines, and is employed generally
for disinfecting purpose, its action on bao
teria and small insect life being very de
structive. Electrio Garden Fnmp.
Many of the country residences In En
