Eecentricities of Prominent Porsons on the Ball. From the Philadelphia Press. ~ The Chicago Limited Express was speeding along to this city the other day when the con- ductor of the Pullman sleeping car dropped int o @ seat alongside of a passenger, and the two s00n became engaged in conversation. After a tew words the conductor said: “Do you see that woman sitting at the other end of the.car on the left?” The passenger nodded. A “Well,” continued the conductor ‘she’s one of a kind that make Pullman conductors grow gray and old betore their time. She's made it a point to be always wanting something ever since she left Chicago. She wants the window up and then she wants it down. Then she wants a drink of water and asks me to get it for her. Of course I have to get it because she 1s travel- ing alone. Thank God,” said the gentleman in brass buttons and blue cloth as he heaved a sigh, “her husband is to join her at Pitte- burg, “Why, do you know,” eontinued the conduc- tor as he stroked his moustaciie, “I have heard a party of ladies traveling together recount all the horrible raiiroad accidents they ever heard or read of, and every little while there would be a chorus of ‘Oh, dear, Just think of it. Suppose it would happen to our train.’ That’s the way they would entertain each other for hours. “I had a better traveler the other ay He was a young fellow, well dressed, and looked and acted as if he had always been very rich. He came into the car, and pointing to the draw- ing room at the other end of the car, said, ‘any- body in there?" ” “How much?” sald he. “Eight dollars,” said (. He handed me $8, gave me 81 for myself and the best cigar [ever smoked. He waiked into the drawing-room, and, as he closed the sliding doors. said, “I don’t want to be bothered until | We get to Philadelphia.” PROMINENT TRAVELERS. “Roscoe Conkling generally gets one seat ina drawing-room, and he gets all the newspapers he can buy, reads them and throws them all over the drawing-room in a mass; besides, he always has a portmanteau full of law papers, which he strews all over every seat in the drawing-room. Conkling is a very vain traveler, and wants everybody in the car to look at him.’ Now, there’s Blaine, he’s just. the opposite; he always buys the whole drawing-room and shuts himself up, and is a very modest, retiring traveler; but Grant is a queer old fellow. When he was Presi- dent of the United States he rfearly always traveled in a special car, but now, since he has become a private citizen, he travels just about the same as ordinary folks. You can always find Grant in the rear end of the car in the smoking apartment with a cigar in his mouth, and there he sits with a hand on either arm of hig chair and smokes and smokes,thoroughly oblivious of everybody in the car. He never looks at any one; sometimes he will look out of the window for hours; when he’s not doing that he's glanc- ing over a newspaper. He’s indifferent to every- thing that’s going on. Why, if the train he is in stops on the road in the open country for some minutes he never moves, never inquires what's the matter, but sits and smokes stolidly until the train starts, while all the other sen- gers put their heads out of the windows or get off to see what’s gone wrong.” “I remember a trip to Chicago Grant made in my car some time ago. His seat was directly behind a lady who was traveling alone—and who, by-the-bye. knew very little about travel- ing. She had her window up for some time, and it was pretty chilly, besides the black smoke poured into the car. I watched Grant for a little while, and I saw he was annoyed as the smoke and chilly breeze blew right aver him, Presently he got up, and leaning over the lady's shoulder put his hand on the catch and let the window sash down. The little woman gave an involuntary start and turned round flercely, but Grant never noticed her and dropped back into his chai After a little while the little lady hoisted the window again and some of the pas- sengers who had seen the affair smiled at one another. Then the little woman beckoned to a and said: ‘Conductor, who is that hog back of me? “That's General Grant,” sald I. ‘Oh!” said the little woman, and she dropped the window immediately. Grant heard the ques- tion but never let on, and went on reading his paper as if nothing had hayfpetied.” |” OSCAR WILDE'S PRANKS. “But Oscar Wilde took the cake,” said the conductor, warming up as he saw the reporter was highly entertained. *‘Oscar Wilde was more bother than all’the women who ever rode on a railroad car. He had an idea that he was the greatest man that America had ever seen and he put on more airs than if he had been the Czar of Russia, the Prince of Spain and the Emperor of Germany all in one. Would you believe it, he pald the porter of the sleeping car to tell peuple at the stations along the line wherever the train stopped that Oscar Wilde was inthe car. He was the vainest, most conceited mule I ever saw. He wouidn’t drink water out ot the glass at the cooler, but sipped It out of asilver and gold mug he carried with him, and he'd sit with the tips of his fingers pressed together and look up at the roof of the car as if he was about to offer up a prayer.” “Herbert Spencer was the most restless tray- eler I ever saw, and Bob Ingersoll is the best. When Ingersoll enters a car to go on a Journey, the first thing he does is to hang up his big slouch hat, then he commences to make himself comfortable, and by the time the train starts he just acts as if he were at home in his study. If there’s no one on the train that he knows, it don't take him long to strike up an acquaint- ance, and everybody seems glad to know him. He’s avery jolly and a very liberal traveler— smokes nearly ali the time on the cars and always carries a bundle of choice cigars with hun. [remember one night there was a freight | wreck, and our train had to lay up for three or four hours. It wasa terrible nizht, the wind blew a hurricane, and the rain came down in torrents. Col. Ingersoll was one of the pas- sengers. Everybody got tired. Nobody could get anybody to taik with them. At last a little Scotchman, who was traveling through America sight-seeing, learned who Ingersoll was and he tackled him then and there. Inger- soll was just in the humor, and in less than ten minutes evs him and listened to him for over two hours, and the passengers seemed so pleased and enter- tained that they forgot all about the night and the accident.” CaBINET MINISTERS AND OTHERS. “Secretary Folger is a very quiet traveler. He generally has a pile of legal documents along with him, and puts in the time examining them. Secretary Frelinghuysen !s a great news- paper reader on the cars, and always puts me In mind of Joseph Jefferson. Jefferson is a re- markably quiet traveler. Ife's a good listener, but talks very little. Salvin! is a very enthusi- astic trayeler. admires every little thing in the Shape of pretty scenery along the road, and he sees everything. He's a noble fellow, and lib- eral with the porters.” “Secretary Lincoin is a business-like traveler, does a good deal of work on the train, and reads more newspapers than any man [ ever saw. He's so different from his father in this respect. His father used to sit as quiet as a mouse with Wis arms folded and look out of the window nearly ail the time.” “Perry Belmont is a very nervous man—twista his moustache and plays with his watch-chain half the time. Every now and again he puils out his watch and looks at the time, as if he were in a great hurry. He can’t sit still a dozen minutes ata time. He uever makes acquaint- ie son the train, and the porters don't like ‘im ot long ago Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, with her two children, were traveling; Perry Belmont was in the same car.

Said He Was Gol and From Peck's Sun. “What broke your pa up at the rol rink?” asked the grocery man, : “O, everything broke him up,” said the bad’ boy. ‘He is split up so ma buttons the top of his pants to his collar button, like a bicycle’ Tider. Well, he no business to have told me: and my chum that he used to be the best skater in North America, wher he was a boy. He said he skated once from Albany to New York in an hour and eighty minutes. Me and my chum thought if pa was such a terroron skates we would get him to put on a’ pair of roller skates and enter him as the ‘great unknown,’ and clean out the whole gang. We toid pa that he must remember that rolier skates were different from ice ski he couldn’ skate on them; but he eaid it didn't make any difference what they were as long as they were skates, and he would just paralyze the whole crowd. So we gota pair of big roller skates for him, and while we were strapping them on pa he looked at the skaters gtide around on the smooth waxed floor just as though they were greased. Then pa looked at the skates on his feet, after they were fastened—sort of forlorn-like, the way a horse-thief does when they put shackles on Iris legs, and I told him if he was afraid he couldn't skate with them we would take them off; but he said he would beat any body there was there, or bust a suspender. Then we straightened he up and pointed him toward the middie of the -toom, and he said ‘leggo,’ and we just give him a little push to start him, and he began to go. Well, by gosh, you'd a dide to have seen pa try to stop. You see, you can’t etick in your heel and stop, like you can on Ice-skates,and pa soon found that out, and he began to turneldeways, and then he threw his arms and walked on his heels, and he lost his hat, and his eyes be- gan to stick out, ‘cause he was going right towards an fron post. One arm caught the post, and he circled around It a few times, and then he tet go and began to fall; and, sir, he kept falling all across the room, and everybody got out ot the way except a girl, and pa grabbed her by the polonaise like a drowning man grabs ata straw. though there wasn’t any straws in | her polonaise as I know of, but pa Just pulled her along as though she was done up ina shawl-strap; and his feet went out from under him, and he struck on his shoulders and kept a-going, with the girl dragging along like a bundle of clothes. If pa had had another pair of roller-skates on his shoulders, and casters on his ears, he couldn’t have slid along any better. Pais a short, big man, and as he was rolling along on his back, he looked like a sofa with casters on being pushed across @ room by agirl. Finally Pa came to the wall and had to stop. and the girl fell mene acrcss him, with her roller skates in his neck, and she called him an old brute, and told him if he didn’t let go of her polon- alse she would murder him. Just then my chum and me got there and we ampu- tated pa from the girl and lifted him up, and I told him for heaven’s sake to let us take off the skates. cause he couldn't skate any more than a cow. and pa was mad and said tor us to let him alone, and he could skate all right, and we let xo and he struck out again. Well, sir, I was ashamed. An old man like pa ought to know better than to try to be = boy. This last time and, if Iam any Judge of a big spread, he did spread himself. Somehow the skates had got turned around sideways on his feet, and his feet got to going in different directions, and pa’s feet and that maybe | | Willimantic Tast sald he was golng to spread himéelf, | were getting 80 far apart that. I was afraid I wouid have two pa’s, half the size, with I tried to get him to take up a collection of his legs, and get them both in the same ward, but his arms flew around and one hit me on the nose, and I thought if he wanted to strike the best friend he had he could run his old legs hisself. When he began to separate I could hear the bones crack; but maybe it was his pants; but anyway he cainedown on the floor like one of those fellows in a circus who spreads himself, and he kept going, and finally he sur- rounded aa iron post with his les and stopped, and he looked pale, andthe proprietor of the rink told paifhe wanted to give a flying-trapeze performance he would have to go to the gym- nasium, and he couldn’t sk»te un his shoulders any more, cause other skaters were afraid ot him. Then pa said he would kick the liver out of the proprietor of the riuk, and he got up and steadied himself, and thea he tried to kick the man, but his heel went up to wonet, oad pa turned his vest in front. I guess it knocked the breath out of him, for he didn't speak fora tew min- utes, and then he wanted to go home, and we put him in a street car and he laid down on the hay and rodehome. 0, the work we had tu get pa’s clothes off.

At birth the babe undergoes an ordeal that, were he conscious, would be more trying than a most palnfal death; yet he feels it not. Born in an unconscious state, the brain incapable of recelving conscious impressions, his entrance into this hitherto unknown world is accom- plished during a state of oblivion, known as nature's anwsthesia: Painleoay we go, whithee Ne know note From the earliest period of human history death has been considered as necessarily ac- companied by pain: so general is this belief, that the terms ‘death-agony,” ‘last-struggle,” “pangs of death,” etc., have been in almoet universal use in every age and under all condi- tions of society. Nothing could be more erro- neous; the truth Is, pain and death seldom together—we mean the last moments of life. Of course, death may be preceded by weeks or | even months of extreme suffering, as occurs during certain incurable diseases. So exazgerated has been this notion that It has been considered an act of humanity to an- ticipate the “‘death-struggle” by violence; for ages it was customary among the lower classes of Europe to hasten death by suddenly jerking the pillow from beneath the head-of the dyinz, thus throwing the head backward, straining the pharyngeal and thoracic muscles, rendering the respiration, already difficult, shortly impossible. A Venetian ambasgador, in the time of Queen Mary, asserted that it was a common custom among the country people to smother the dying by means of a pillow placed over the face, upon which leaned or sat the nearest relative. This was founded upon the ious belief that a short road was the best one. This custom was handed down from generation to generation, parents performing it for their children, and vice versa. But, perhaps, the sad- dest privilege ever allowed the near friends of a dying man, occasionally occurred during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when through execu- tive clemency—in executions by. hanging—they were permitted to grasp the feet of the sus- Sande) ertmiials and, by clinging to the ex- tremities, precipitate their additional weight on the body, thereby hastening strangulation. It is needless to say that these theories are false in both conception and practice. Death is a phy- siological“ process, and like all other animal functions, should be painless. -—Dr. Thomas. D. Spencer, in Popular Science Monthly. +e. Lead Poisoning in Dressmakers.

It was an item in- deed. A crowd vf ‘men and boys ‘gathered around what seeméd ‘to ‘be an old woman who had been found h {ntoxicated by the road side, and was now, toroughly chilled through, with the exception ofsher tongue, which wagged. with lightning rapidity, and discharged exple- tives, Invectives, sense and nonsense with the reckless volubility common to people In her-son- dition. She was assisted Into Dr.McNally’s office, and shortly atterwards was removed by Officer Shurtllff to the lock-up. After her Incarceration im the cell, her rum craze took a musical tifro, and for some time she warbled, not sweetly but powerfully. The officer deemed the lock-up an unsuitable place for her to remain over Sunday, and having obtained permission from the selectmen, she was sent up to the town-house and placed in the custody of Super- intendent Lyman. While intoxicated she gave her name as Mabel Fairfax, had been a nurse in & hospital at Richmond during the war, and claimed to have been robbed in a saloon here of a hundred dollars, but these stories were prob- ably fictitious and entitled to no credit. On Sunday when the afficer visited her she had slept off the effects of her debauch and was ina condition where she could take a realizing sense of the unpleasant predicament in which sh found herself. She had no friends, was a stranger in a strange land, with no home in the wide world, and no children to come to her assistance. Her condition was most pitiable, and she has been permitted to remain at the alms-house since. HER STORY. She gives the following history of herself: My name {is Mrs. Nellie Warren,am forty-three years old and was born in Alexandria, Va. I eloped with Henry Warren when I was fourteen years of age, and we were married and went to Texas, and have since resided in the town of Dallas in that state. My family disowned me for running away from home. They are now living in Vir- ginia and are in good circumstances. My hus- band has been dead about eight years. “I have been the mother of eight children, all of whom are now dead. The house in which I lived at Dallas was burned last September, and I lost nearly everything Ihadin the world by the fire. Some four weeks ago I left Dallas to seek out my brother, Henry Wilson, a machinist, whom I last heard from at Providence, R. I, and whom I supposed was etili re- siding there. I came along all right until I reached Philadelphia. Here I went into a restaurant and got a cup of tea, and tendered a $100 bill, which was all I had, in payment therefor. The attendant took the money and went out to get itchanged, but failed to return and I could get no’redress. I was obliged to Sell some of my clothing to obtain tunds to con- tinue my journey to Providence. Upon arriv- Ing in that city I found after inquiry that my brother had left there a short time before and had gone to Willimantic. Ileft Providence for Saturday morning coming by way of Blackstone. While waiting at Putnam [ was taken with . severe pains which terminated In (a ind of fit, and a physician was who gave me a boitle of medicine, which produced a stupefying effect which might east! mistaken for intox- ication.” Her suysequént movements until she came to herself at;the alms house are a blank to her. She seems tb be & woman of fair intelli- gence, and has evidently met with her share of the ups and downs of Ife, ent is able and will- ing to earn her living, and does not wish to re- main an object of charity any longer than an opportunity offers whereby she may be able to care for herself. ; She ts very anxtous to get some trace of her brother, and if this should meet the eye of any one who knows ot his present whereabouts they wouid confer a great fayor to her by notifying D. A. Lyman, superintendent of alms house, Willimantic, Conn, Gambetta a: e United States, Ex-Governor R. C. McCormick, commissioner- general of the United States to the Paris Inter- national exposition of 1878, furnishes this rem- it bet a back summersault and strak:rlehn on-||uscence of Gambettas At the distribution of the prizes awarded by the juries at the exposition, which took place in October at the old Palace of Industry on the Champs Elysees, In the presence of 20,000 people, he stood with M. Grevy, (now presi- dent ot the republic), and the members of the chamber of deputies upon a platform behind that occupied by President McMahon and the foreign princes in attendance. When the soldiers and guards of each country repre- sented at the exposition entered the building in procession, carrying their national flaze, Gambetta was among the first to recognize the American ensign, and he may be said to have led in the tremendous outburst of aprlause, unequalled during the day. with which the vast assemblage greeted the little band of thirty United States marines. So marked was his en- thusiasm that on the following morning the Figaro, the notorious Bonapartist and sensa- tional Journal of Paris, took him and those of the deputies who joined him in the demonstra- tion to task for an ill-timed and uncalled for ex- pression of republican sympathy in the presence 4 of the Prince of Wales and the other represen- tatives of royalty. Gambetta was greatly In- terested in tlie part taken by the United States in the exposition, and thouzht our example would be of much political value to France. He said, as I wrote in my official report to the Sec- retary of State, “We wanted, and were very glad, to show to our people the triumphs of ge- nius and industry obtained under your free in- stitutions.” After the close of the exposition by invitation, I visited Gambetta at his private apart er the office of his daily news- he Republique Francaise. 1 asked him e might expect to see him in the United States. He answered, witha heavy drawn sigh, that he had long looked with the fondest ex- pectations to sucha visit. I told him of the ad- miration of our people for his sturdy devotion to republican government and principles, that he wasa hero with them, and could be assured of @ maznificent reception throughout the states. He answered that he had already re- ceived many evidences of the friendship of the Americans, and that it would delight him be- yond measure to make a study in person of “the model republic.” ‘But alas,”he added, “a short and hurried visit to so great a country would be unsatisfactory, and I know not when it will be possible for me to command the time for any other. I seem bound by private and official ties which prevent my leaving France even for recreation.” Tue Whole or THE MANUFACTURING PRo- CESSES of. in are conducted without the aid of any mechanical contrivances whatever and with the simplest of tool.
