Orant's first term, has been head coachman at the white house, and in consequence an autocrat among , the lesser lights of the stable, has re tired on account of age. Change of politics happily made no difference in Albert's place, a? there appears to have been a tradition handed down to each incoming administration that, whoever else went, the coachman was to remain. Whether or not he was credited with any peculiar qualities as a mascot does not appear, but one thing, according to , Kate Field's Washington, was assured, and that was the very great veneration j in which Albert held the office of chief magistrate. In his eyes the president of the United States—without regard to the individual —was the greatest poten tate on earth, and as such entitled to right of way when driving. This idea led to some hairbreadth escapes, as a street barricaded for repair* presented no obstacles to progress in Albert's eyes. He would go crashing through the barriers, and when expostulated with by the family stoutly maintained that the president's carriage had a right to go anywhere, and never to waive the right to anyone. Though Albert would by no means acknowledge it, his eye sight had been poor for several years past, especially at night, when he would lose himself in the most unac countable manner in the most familiar localities. One night just before his ■accessor was appointed Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee attended an evening reception, and of course rode home in the president's carriage. Suddenly it ■truck the ladies that they were a mo6t unnecessarily long time in reaching the white house, and Mrs. McKee looking out of the windows in the darkness dis covered that they were at Scott circle. While she watched Albert made the circuit twice. Then she called to the driver asking his reason for such a •trange preceding. He was unwillingly obliged to admit that he had lost his way, but concluded to drive round and round the circle until he came across a familiar looking street, when he would immediately turn down. GROWING IN STRENGTH- Woman Bald to Ba laeraaatair In SUa a» a Raaolt of Physical Coltnra. A statement is going the rounds, with a mixture of scientific and woman's de partment prossip, to the effect that the American woman is steadily growing in height, weight and comeliness. The latter part of the statement conveys no news to the male American, who has the fact forced on his susceptibilities every day. But that lovely woman is increas ing in size, both perpendicularly and horizontally,is news calculated to make glad the heart of man, with the excep tion, perhaps, of him of diminutive stature. Of course this is the result of physical culture. As woman's mind was dwarfed by the pettiness of female education, so her body was dwarfed by the vices of female dress. The progress of the affe toward giving women the same educational chances as men reveals to us the probability that woman's mental development may eventually become the same as that of men, and here we have a similar inti mation that if female physical culture is carried far enough the woman may by taking thought add enough cubits to her stature to be the physical eque' of man as welL The probability ha its disadvantages,according to the Pitts burgh Oispatch, for, as woman repre sents the leisure class of America, and is, therefore, able to give the most ex clusive attention to these pursuits of culture, it may wind up by letting woman get beyond man in both intel. lectual and physical growth, which would be unpleasant for the lords of creation. Nevertheless, we cannot have too much good. The more there is of the American woman, both ph s ically and intellectually, the better tu< American male will like her. Tne growth immediately holds out the pleasing hope that woman will grow, in both mind and body, sufficiently to knap the skirt of her dress above the dirt of the streets. NATURAL ICEHOUSE. Colombia lUver Ctrrloalty Which Ii Simply Unique. In Washington a coulee is a ravine that a river has worn for itself and. then abandoned for another course, says the New Orleans Picayune. Th;- coulees of the Columbia river are im mense ravines worn out of the basaltic rock, with perpendicular wails on eitlior side from one thousand to fifteen hundred feet high. Through this re gion the (ireat Northern railroad runs. Not long ago an Indian approached a gang of railroad laborers working in Salmon coulee with a great piece of ice wrapped in a blanket, which he offered for sale. The workmen instituted a tearch in the direction from which he bad come and soon found a cold stream trickling through the shell rock, and further up the ice beds were found. They were formed among the mannes of shell rock by the melting of snow in winter, the water running down among the rocks and freezing at night. Ice remains there perpetually and In large quantities. The most singular feature is that the spot is only five hun dred feet above the sea, and the sun beats with intense beat upon the rocks above the ice, which is also exposed to warm draughts of air through the crevices, yet the ice never melts. An Ancient Slot Machine. The slot machine which has recently had such a run in all catch-penny schemes, anrt which has often been pointed out as the one thing "new under the sun," has been proven to have been in use in Egypt long before the birth of Christ.

A coin of the value of five drachms dropped into a slot In the jug opened a valve which permitted a few drops of the purifying liquid to escape.

We can nay to our patrons that the grinding done by on will be io the beg' mariner that good machinery and practical milling can do it. a* we have in oor employ one of the be*t practical millers in the State of Penn svlvania. We can say wit boot tear of contradiction that we are turning oat the best straight grade of wheat floor in the county. We tbwik it a» ndrnntage to the farmer to fret hit* grinding done at our mill for there reasons: FIKST —We mike as good wheat flour as can be manufactured aod tbr farmers iret the same fl'-ur it. exchange as the millionaire wonld, were we blessed with them in this neighborhood. SECOND—We L-M do your cfcop piog for you, so that you are not compel ed to sell four grain at low prices and buy yoor ch«-p. THIKP—We can mak« the he< buckwheat fl >ur ever manufa.- tured in the cuMly, as we have jii-t completed arranging the new machinery for same, and it works like a charm. FOUKI H— We can make y<-a re flour if *Oll desire it. Our rye fh'Ur always bri'»gs the highest price in Pittsburg. Ac FIFTH —We make as rood a corn meal as there ia in the market. SIXTH Our Oraham floor caonot be excelled. We maoufarture every article that ia in oor line of business, and with the lateat improved machinery, and beat practical skill. The farmer will readily see that it is more profitable to him to patrooize a mill where he can fret all his differ ent kinds of grain ground than to sell his grain and buy his flour and feed We don't believe in misrepresenting goods to the public, therefore do not put the same kind of flour in four or five different brands of sack*. We make a straight grade of flour. The brand ia WHITE KOSK, the same HS given to the farmer in exchange We also make the ION A PATENT, which is a high grade of flour and stands with the licet patents in the market It is manufactured out of red winier wheat, blended with the best brand of Minnesota patent which gives it a superior quality These brands of Hour and all kinds of mill feed sold by us al the lowest prices We ore also in the market for wheat, rye and buckwheat and will pay the highest prices for the same GFO WALTER & SONS, HITLER ROLLER MILLS, BLTLKH.
