He declares that the ! men were as small as boys, the horses | as small as donkeys, donkeys as small j as dogs and the dogs as small a rats, j Hie only things on a large scale were cats and fleas, which he found every where. At the hotel where he spent the first few days lie met with a curiously cosmopolitan waiter, says the Chicago Chronicle. Some French people were trying to express themselves in choi'c i .alian, when the waiter exclaimed: "Y'ous pouvez me pnrlcr ann frannce. jc souls frannce!" The next day 0/1 i Englishman began to give his order in I Italian, when the same waiter, with a i fatherly smile, said: "You earn speak ! English to me; I aj*in an Irishman by bird." The Englishman stared and said: "Do you really mean to say you are an Irishman?" "Datt is exactly vatt I arm," was the cool reply. Result of a Prompt Reply.

In the early days of the government changes among cabinet officers during the service of the President who ap pointed them were rarer than they have been since. Washington made no al teration in his council at the beginning of his second term, but there were sonic retirements in it before that term ended. All the members who were in Wash ington's cabinet at its close were retain ed by Adams at his accession to power, Adams belonging to the same party as Washington* Jefferson and Madison each only made one change in their cabinets at the beginning of their sec- I ond terms, and Monroe made none. | Jackson, the next President who was re- I elected, made many changes at the beginning of his second term, and at other times in his service. All the men who were in Lincoln's cabinet at the close of his first term were contin ued in his second. Boutwell's resigna tion as secretary of the treasury was the only change made in Grant's cabinet at the beginning of his second term, al though many many changes occurred before and after. Cleveland, the only other President except McKinley who was elected twice, had an interval of re tirement between his first and his sec ond term, and constructed an entirely new cabinet when he entered office the second time. Tyler and Johnson, two of the vice nresidents who became President by the deathof the President, retained their predecessors' cabinets, but trouble be gan soon after their service began, and most of the cabinets stepped down. In the case of Filllmore and Arthur, the other two vice presidents whom death sent to the White House, there was a sweeping change in the cabinet when they entered power, except that Robert T. Lincoln, one of his predecessor's appointees, remained in the post of sec retary of war through Arthur's term. The tenure of office of members of cabinets has been very insecure in the past half or two-thirds of a century. Only one President ever retained his of ficial family unbroken during his entire service. This was Franklin Pierce, who was in office but one term.—Leslie's Weekly. To CUT© Colli in On© Day.

The great gold fields of the world have all produced romances of nuggets of enormous value often stumbled across by prospectors in the last stage of poverty. This nugget-finding is told in an interesting fashion by Mr. Jeffer son Hurley, a member of the Institute of Mining Engineers, says a London newspaper. "The largest nugget of which the world has any knowledge," he says, "was found at Hill End, New South Wales, by Messrs. Byer and Haltman. It measured four feet nine inches in length, three feet three inches in width and averaged four inches in thickness. It sold for £20,000. "At the time of finding it Messrs. Bv cr and Haltman had exhausted their capital and were practically living on charity, ft is said that the discovery so unnerved one of the partners that he was unfit for work or business for a long period. "A great nugget found in Victoiia was the 'Welcome Stranger,' discovered by two puddlers. It rested on stiff red clay and was barely covered with earth; in fact, the treasure lay unnoticed in ihe rut by the puddlers' cart. Its weight was 2,268 ounces and in value it was worth £9,600. Soon after the find of the 'Welcome Stranger' two other nug gets of 14 ounces and 36 ounces respec tively were unearthed. "Another lucky find was that of a nugget at Ballarat weighing 2.159 ounces and sold for £10.500. The Blanche Barklcy nugget. 1.743 ounces, value £7.000. was unearthed by a party of four at Kingower at a depth of 13 feet and within five feet of holes that had been dug three years before." Typos of Our Nfw Navy. In the five battleships we have two types—the three sheathed and coppered ones being the Pennsylvania. New Jer sey and Georgia, while the unsheathed ships are to be the Rhode Island and Virginia. The first three ships are further peculiar because they carry the much-discussed superposed turrets 1:1 the main battery—the relative merits of which will never be settled short of the day of actual conflict; but the antifoul ing advantages of their coppered bot toms are too well established to do more than to make us wonder why all arc not so protected. These ships are the peers of anything now building abroad. The armored cruisers, of which there arc to be six, are half of them to be coppered like the three battleships. Those so sheathed and coated arc to be named California, West Virginia and Nebraska, while the others are to be known as the Colorado, Maryland and South Dakota. These ships arc a long way ahead of our two earlier armored cruisers, the New York and Brooklyn, but merely typical of the developments made abroad since these other classmates were designed. They may be properly called the heavy cavaf rv of the sea, and their mission in con flict will be to keep in touch with the enemy and to give him some pretty hard raps before calling up the support of the heavier, slower and more powerful battleships. The protected cruisers, to bear the names of Charleston. Milwaukee and S. Louis, are really decidedly akin to sec ond-class armored cruisers, ami are a very decided advance upon the Olympia —an improved form of which they were designed to be.—Harper's Weekly. It is the custom of the Alabama dis trict of the United Mine Workers to elect a negro as vice president. London has the poorest water service of any of the large cities of the world. | OR.
