Koine of 1 hese people who know so much about running a newspaper should try their hand at the business. Every town has several persons who could, in 'their opinion, do this better than the •uen enjrajred in publishing:, but they never get farther than to set up a con tinual croak and find fault. The proper and only way for them to gratify their desire to read a perfect newspaper is to edit one owned hy themselves. They I cannot be suited by any other editor. , and they would confer a favor upon the i community by keeping quiet or starting newspapers of their own. Offices upon offices are being created by the Pennsylvania legislature and for no other apparent purpose than to carry : out the promises made by legislators to i their friends to got them "something" under this administration. Governor Hastings, notwithstanding the pressure brought to bear upon him, does not ap- j pear to be in sympathy with this un called for additional expense to which the state will be put, as was evidenced J by his vetoes of the bills creating un necessary judgeships in some counties. I It lie will act as manly as Pattison did j i in killing viscious legislation, the people ! will have no occasion to regret electing i him. Those reformers who were anticipat-' ing an investigation of Philadelphia's municipal p.ff.-.irs by a legislative coin- ' j mitten can brace themselves for a dis appointment. It is seldom Republicans can be induced to make public the i crimes and misdeeds of their fellow party men. and an honest investigation •f the Quaker City's inside, history would cause a sensation compared with which the New York Lexowing would j be a* tame affair. There are too many •goody-good" men implicated in Phila- ' dclphia s dark secrets, and some shining ' reputations would be tarnished more or • after the prol \ it will have to bo a legislature of a different nature from I the one now in sessicn that would have I lie courage To turn the light on that) nest of corrupt ion. The now county movement appears to i be the cause of a lot of unnecessary ' basin on the part or the count}' commis sioners. They have accepted the plans I of Architect Myers, of Detroit, for a I new courthouse to cost in the neighbor- ! hood of -TOO,OOO, and the architect'S commission, 5 per cent, will amount to ' I 820,000 more. This is a sum of money j i for which the people should expect to j receive something that will lust for; many years, but the question is. "Is such a costly building necessary?" The TRIBUNE believes that the present court house is out of date, inconvenient and not in any way ornamental, and was among the first to advocate a now one, but wo fail to sco tho necessity of ex , pending the amount of money contem plated by the commissioners. One of the bills now before the Penn i svlvania legislature, if it becomes a law. | would compel every borough and city to I purchase the existing water works in Their towns before they could erect ; plants of their own. That a bill of this character should be introduced need oe -1 casion no surprise, but that it should be considered at length by our lawmakers jis nothing to their credit. The very ! principle involved ought to condemn legislation of that kind, and the hill Tiould be killed v ithout delay. To pre vent towns from engaging in a business : which by right belongs to them alone. ! and which previous laws authorize them to enter, to prevent them from doing this unless they buy up the plants of all private competitors is simply ridiculous. V little thinking upon the subject will show the danger of allowing a corpora, tion measure like that one to pass. It will not be positively known until the fifty-third congress dies by limita tion. tonight, whether failure of one or more appropriation hills will force the calling of an early extra session. There is little doubt that the appropriation bills can bo put through hy hard work, but there arc several pending amend ments—among them that of repealing all laws for the Issue of bonds—either of which may delay the appropriation bills. The Republicans, who have been flip pantly criticising congress for the past fow months, are not as well pleased at the prospects of an oxtra session as they might be. They don't relish tho idea of having control of tho legislative depart ment of the government Just now, for tho results brought on bv the viscious legislation of the fifty-first congress have placed the country in a bad condi tion. it is only right, however, that they le given the task of remedying their own blunders. NOTES OF THE RAIL. TI/K name of the Haltlraore A Lehigh has been changed to the York Si South ern. TIIK Wagner company has roduced the price of berths on its cars between Indianapolis and St. Louis to £1.50. A iuo scheme is on foot to dispossess the Missouri, Kansas A Texas of nearly 1,000,000 acres of land held as right-of way through the Choctaw nation. TIIK Southern railway has just given an order for 20 locomotives, and in pur suance to its stated policy to encour age local industries part of the order goes to a Richmond concern. I r is stated on the highest authority that a movement has been started among the southern lines for the arm ing of passenger train crews with fire arms to rfcpel attacks of train robbers. IT Is said that the pay of locomotive engineers is sometimes so much above that of minor administrative officers technically their superiors that the amount is not permitted to appear npon the pay roll. FF.W passenger trains have the splen did record of the Empire State ex press in the matter of always being on time. An examination has shown that It was not late a single day from Juno 3 to October 13 inclusive, a period of 4 months and 12 days. RAILROAD NOVELTIES. J. E. \V ATKINS has been appointed to tlie unique railroad position of historian of the Pennsylvania lines. TIIE map of its system which the Pennsylvania railroad will put up in its Philadelphia station will be one hun dred and uft?en feet long by fifteen wide. It is claimed that it will be the large it map ii; the world. AN ice locomotive was sotue years ogo constructed for use in Russia, ft is employed to haul freight between St. Petersburg and Cronstadt. The front part, rests on a sledge, and the driving wheels are studded with spikes. CYLINDRICAL shape bales of cotton arc being shipped from Waco, Tex., by the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rond. The bales are pressed compactly, and each weighs four hundred and ninety pounds. By this new method a ear con haul one hundred and ten bales. AT London, Eng., company ha been registered with a capital of fifty thousand pounds in ten pound shares, to acquire, develop and dispose of any inventions designed to indicate mechan ically to passengers in railway trains the name of the station which the train is approaching. FASHION FADS. (•IT-AWAY jackets of velvet are much liked by young girls. SLEEVELESS jackets of various mate rials with passementerie edgings are popular. A PRESS of cloth with a narrow inolro panel down the front Is among the new importations. MI FFS are somewhat larger than heretofore. Many muffs will be used during the coming winter without other furH. CAITH of molro arc trimiucd with fur collars and lined with bright silk.

CEOROK IIEXSCIIEL has written a Stabat Mater, which will be given in Albert hall this winter by the Royal Choral socioty. A NKW string sextet, by a boy of six teen named Derahard Kohler, recently created an extraordinary sensation at Cologne. A MANUSCRIPT mass by Bellini is re ported to have been discovered in Italy. It liat been sent to the Naples con servatory of inusta to have its genuine ness passed udo^. ALEXANDER'S HORSE, riov* the MucedonlHu Kliiff Bncuri'd Po *p*s:on nf ltncrphitlui. Of course every child who goes to school has heard of Aloxandcr the Great. And one can hardly think of him without thinking also of his horse, Bucephalus. Perhaps no horse in the world is so well known, and nc other horse's name is so familiar. Plutarch, who has told us so many Interesting things about people, saya that he received his name because his head resembled that of an ox or be cause he had the mark of an ox's head on his flank or because he had a black mark on his head shaped like an ox'i head, the rest of his body bciug white. This shows that in Plutarch's timu people cared a great deal to hear about Bucephalus. Alexander obtained him in this way: "N heu he was at home with his father, Philip, king of Maeedon, a Thessalian AI.KXANPF.U S IIOP.SU. brought the horse to the king in hopes to sell hiin. They tried to show him off to advantage, but ho. was so wild and unmanageable that, although he was a magnificent looking animal, the king was disgusted with his conduct and ordered him to be taken away. Alexander had taken n great fancy to tho horse, so ho objected to this. Finally his father offered to buy Bu cephalus if Alexander could ride him. So Alexander, who was not afraid of anything and was used to having his own way, managed to get onto the rear ing, kicking horse, and found that he could manage him. 110 suited Bu cephalus a,s well as Bucephalus suited him, and from that time the two wore inseparable. Bucephalus would allow no one but Alexander to mount him. ; lie went with him in all his campaigns, and what a number of things and places 1 that horse saw in Persia, and India! ' He was obliged to endure the blazing j sun, and often he had to go without : water, and he had to climb steep moun- ! tains and drag through long, weary ! marches, and he was wounded in bat- I tie, and perhaps lie wished himself back ; sometimes in peaceful Thessaly, where he was from. Still, he was taken good euro for you may he sure that Alexander'* fa vorite horse was not neglected, fie hud plenty of //rooms to rub him down at night and to wait upon him, and Alex ander no doubt, often fed him with his cwn hands. There are different ac counts of his death. Plutarch soys that in a great battle with Borus, king of n part of northern India, he received the wounds of which he died. Others any that-he died not long after of fatigue, worn out by the cruel"" marches and hard work, and that at Ins death he was thirty years ohl. That is very old for n horse. At any rale, lie died in that region, for Alexander built „ city near the river Ilydespcs. which lie called Buccphala in honor of Ids faith ful horfee. The city was in ruins long ago. but l>u jeplu*lu> is still remembered, and al ways ill IK; as long as history lasts.— Y. World. THE COMPASS PLANT. j Petals of Its Metallic Lev vol .llrvitjt Point to Mie North. [ Among the many remarkable things j In nature there are few more wonder ful titan lite compass plant of our west ern plains. This singular plant has metallic leaves, and its petals point con stantly to the north. It, can be readily | understood, therefore, that these plants have proved, on numerous occasions, to be of inestimable benefit to travelers . who have strayed from their campa or ! companions and found themselves lost. A traveler says that, in ISGO. while he was on his way to the Rocky moun tains by a wagon train, he and some companions, who had left the camp on a hunt for antelope, lost their way, upon the sudden approach of tin- dark, stormy night. They knew that their train was encamped about ten miles to the northwest of the place where they I were. | The night was as dark as pitch, and they were beginning to be alarmed, when one of the party happened to , think of the compass plant and its won | derful peculiarity. They at once dls j mounted and groped about, until at j last one of them found the familiar leaves of the plant. I Then they were able to turn their horses' heads in the right direction to- I ward the camp, which they roachcd In about two hours, but not until they j 'tad dismounted several times to feel among the leaves of their friendly I guide to make sure of their course.- Golden Days. Military Movement* of Skunk*. An Auburn (N. Y.) man riding in tin j country saw crossing the road n mam ■ ma skunlc with five youngsters trailing behind her in single file. Ranks were I closed and tails dragged. The little company moved toward an unoccupied | building, and tho old skunk disop i pcared through n hole in the founda | Hon wall. Rut Just ns the young ones | were about to follow he flung o stone, which banged loudly against tho corner of the building. The narrator says that he has witnessed many military evolu tions by crack companies, but never in his experience did he see a drill com pany "'bout face, 'tcntion, present arms," with the rapidity with which that platoon of skunks moved. Tlicy whirled like one, stood in line, their tails whisking itraight over their backs. It was a moment full of criHe al suspense, but the command "Fire"' wasn't issued. As no enemy presented Itself they trailed arms once more and made a digniflcd retreats one after another, into the Hole in the wall. [BARGAINS NEUBURGER'S BARGAINS' Bargain Emporium.
