were not berths for all. He was at-
tended by a private secretary, with a
board, who picked acquaintance with.
a Scotchman. The latter made a sug-
gestion for the distribution of the
party on the principle of ago before
honors
“You and 1, mon," he said, “will oc-
cupy the berths, and the wee kiddie”
—indicating the distinguished states-
man—“can just lie himself down on

A bright-looking maid responded that
he wasn't. The young man then
wanted to write a note, and tried to
send the maid out of the richly-
furnished parlor. She smiled and re-
mained, and, after biting his lip in
' vexntion, the young fellow wrote and
sealed the note to the gentleman. This

A YOUNG G'IREHDIPLOMATIST.“
Conducts the Basin-Is of Russia at the
‘ Court of China.
Diplomatic circles of > Europe are
wondering at the great success 01.
Count Cassini in. the for East. He
made his debut abPeking five years
* ago by insisting on presenting his cre-
dentials personally to the Son oi
Heaven, and lie speedily threw the
German Minister, then in the ascendfi
ant, and all the other foreigndiplomat-
ists quite into the shade. Owing .to his
prestige, the Count was allowed to
travel across Chinese territory from
Peking to Kiakhta by the route re-
served for mandarins only, accom-
plishing the first stages of his long
journey in a mule chair, and the rest
in u tarantuss. ,
The mystery is now explained.
Count Cassini’s niece, a girl of less
than fifteen years of age, is his mas-
cot. She has been of the utmost use to
him in bringing negotiations with the
Tsung-li Yemen t9 3. head. Her mas-
tery of Chinese is ”remarkable, and she
has the familiarity possessed by most
educated Russians with. English,
French and German, so that her uncle
has no need of an interpreter in deal-
ing with delicate matters of state.
Russia has always offered a. fine field
for feminine diplomatists, and Mlle.
Cassini, beginning thus early, ought to
have a great future before her.
General Beauregard’s Answer.
Although General Beauregard al-
lowed the use of his name to a lottery
company, he didn’t think much of lot-
tei-ies, according to a writer in the Chi.
engo Times-Herald. One day he re-
solved a long letter and a dollar from
.1 man living in Mississippi, who want-
9.1a ticket that would be certain to
win. He reminded the General that
he had faithfully served the Confede-
racy four years, and that at times he
had tong-ht under him. . He stated,
iiivoreover,"‘thu.t when he returned to his
home after the war he didn’t have
L'lOillCS enough. to wad a shotgun. Gen-
eral Beauregard sent his Confederate
friend a ticket, and in the same enve-
lope enclosed the following letter: “I
trust that you may win the capital
prize. One as poor as you say you are
certainly deserves a dififercnt sort of
luck from the kind that you say you
have been having. But mark my
words: ‘If you stick to the lottery as
faithfully and as long as you say you
did the Confederacy, when you get
through with it you won't have clothes
enough to wad a popgun.”
The Spanish Censor.
They have a curious way of sup-
pressing papers in Havana. Instead of
submitting their proof-sheets to the
censor, as is usual Where such a pro-
tector of public opinion exists, they get
at the matter backward. The publisher
goes ahead on his own judgment,
prints what he pleases and takes his
chances of going to jail or paying a
tine. The censor reads the paper at
the breakfast table the next morning,
and if he finds anything mildly objec-
tionable, he writes a polite note to the‘
editor, calling attention to the article.
The latter prints :1 paragraph next day
explaining that he was mistaken or
that the public had misinterpreted his
remarks. But when any high official
of the Government is attacked, or the
proprieties are violated, the editor is
lined or imprisoned, and a policeman
takes the subscription list and call :it
every house at which ‘copies have been
delivered to recover. thcin.——Cor-. Chi-.

Let Them Paint Bull Run.
. On a visit to Boston, Gen. John B.
Gordon. the err-Confederate, was en—
iei'i'ziined by a well—known lawyer, who
showed him the sights. One of the
places the Southerners visited was the
cycloramu of the Battle of Gettysburg;
the old soldier did not make any com-
ment on it. When the two came out
of the building and were on their way
down town, the lawyer inquired:
“Well, General, what did you think
:f it?”
"What did I think of it?" said the
General, coming to a standstill and
striking a. defiant attitude, “Let them

WHERE LYNCH FOUND HIS MILL.
The Trees Hart'Gr-own Taller and the
Building Had Ascended.
Away up in the Adirondacks, in the,
town of ,Minerva," a few years ago.
lived a man of the name of Daniel
Lynch. ,Mr. Lynch lived back in the
lumber district and "on the banks of
a. nice little stream. Anxious to
make money and'turn his timber into
cash, he built a mill. It Was a rathei
queerly constructed affair, for, instead
of a frame, he used as corner posts
for his building four trees. Dan began
the, manufacture of lumber and had
it piled up in large quantities all
around. Buyers came from all parts
of the country to look. at his stock in-
tending to buy, but all went away, dis-
satisfied, for the boards were uneven
and worthless. After trying in vain to
get a few dollars out of his venture, he
abandoned the place and moved into
town. \
Years' passed, and one day Dun
thought he would visit the scenes of
his unfortunate speculations. but on
his arrival at the spot was surprised
to find that his mill had gone. There
in the bed of the stream was the old
flume and wheels, but no building. As
he stood gazing in wonder on: what
was left of his old establishment some-
thing—perhaps a. little bird—attracted
his attention up in one of the trees,
and imagine his surprise on looking up,
for about twelve feet in the air above
him was his mill. In his absence the
four trees that he‘had used as corner
posts had grown and taken the mill up
toward . heaven.—Utica Daily Press.
The ‘Vrong Station.
The train was roaring along at about
forty miles an hour, and the conductor
was busily punching tickets full of
holes when a little thin old man who
sat in one of the cornerjeats plucked
his sleeve.
“Mister conductor, you be sure and
let me off at; Speers station. You see,
this is the first time I ever rode on
steam .cars and I don‘t know anything
'about’thiem. You won’t forget it, eh?”
“All right, sir, I won’t forget.”
The old man brushed back a stray
lock of hair and, straightening himself,
gazed with increasing wonder at the
flying landscapes, every now and then
exclaiminig, “Gracious!” “By gum!” -
etc. '
Suddenly there was a crash, and af-
ter a number of gymnas‘tic moves that
made him think of his sclioolduys, he
found himself sitting onihe grass of
the embankment alongside the track.
Seeing another passenger sitting a
short distance away patiently support-
ing various parts of the splintered car
across his legs, he enquired:
“Is’ this Speei's crossing?”
Thepassenger, who was a drummer,
and not altogether new to such hap~
peiiinigs, replied with a smile in con-
siderable pain: .
"No; this a catastrophe.” . -
"Is that so?” he irritably exclaimed.
“Now I knew that conductor would
put me ofi.’ at the wrong place.”—
Harper's Round Table.
L if ANovel Passport.
0n and of hisvjourneys to Switzer‘
land, Gustave Dore, the famous artist,
found when reaching Lucerne that he
had lost his passport. He forthwith
made inquiry for the major of the
town and requested an interview. Hav-
ing‘stated his name and profession, he
was .thus addressed by the worthy
functionary:
“You state that you are Gustave
Dore, and I am willing to believe you.
Still—still,” he added, pushing across
the table a blank sheet ofpaper and a
pencil, “I should like to have further
proof.” ' '
Dore looked at the paper, then
glanced out of the window, and saw a
couple of peasants selling potatoes in
the street. A few clever strokes of.
the pencil, and the scene was sketched.
Ho appended his name, and handed it
to the mayor. .
"This passport is quite sufficient,”
said the latter; "but perhaps you will
allow me to keep it as :1 souvenir, and
I will get you another made out-in the
usual form.”

‘ 'IJ‘OIIIIRESI'IZ Pen-s.
Fountain pens nré" rather older than
most people imagine. As long ago as
1824 they were in use, for in that year
Thomas Jefferson saw a contrivance
of this sort, tried it, and wrote to Gen—
enul Bernard Peyton, of Richmond,
\'a., asking him to get one of them. The
pen was of gold and the ink tube of
silver. and, according to Jefferson’s let-
ter. the maker was a Richmond watch
repairer, named Cowan. The price, he
understood, was $5. The first Ameri-
can patent for a fountain pen was
granted in 1830, to one Douglass Hyde,
but the earliest English patent was is-
sued twenty-one years before."—Scien‘
