London Letter to Philadelphia Telezmaph, Thave just heard a very curious story which is now going the rounds of London society, and which forms one of the sensational topics of the day.

Sup- pressing, as is usual under the circumstances, | the names of the parties concerned and that of the exact locality whereit the incidents trans- pired, the narrative runs as follows: A few months ago a young English artist, whom we will cail Mr. B—, went down to the country seat of Lord X—— to pay that gentle- mana Visit. The house was very full, but he was accorded a comfortable and handsome | chamber, apparently one of the best in the house.

He dreamed that he was suddealy awakened by the entrance of some person into his room, and that. on looking around, he saw the apartment brightly filuminated, while at the window stood an old lady, rietily ing something out. turned her face toward the amazed spectator, {evil passions, so jsion of wickedness, that It soul with horror.’ Then the the dreadful old woman disappeared — to- ether, leaving the artist to imagine that he had been tormented bya frizhtful night- | ware. But on returning to London his imaxi- nation was so haunted by that fearful counte- nance, thrice seen amid the watches of the night. that he made asketch of it, which so con- veyed the evil expression and revolting aspect ofthe midnight hag as to horrity everybody to whom he showed it.

Some became dancing mas- ters. many set up as barbers and others utilized ronomical and culinary knowledge. latter line was that of a Frenchinan from Limoges, living in London, and named D'Al- bignac. Though his means were very small sub- sequent to his emigration, he happened to dine one day at one of the most famous taverns of London. While he was in the act of finishing his rather slender repast five or six young men of the first families were ragaling theinselves at |a neizhboring table. One among them stood up, and, addressing the Frenchman in a polite tone, Sir, it is the general opinion that your nation exceis in the art of making a salad. Would you have the goodness to tavor us by mixing one tor us?” D'Albignae, after some hesitation consented, asked for the necessary materials, and having: taken pains to compound a perfect salad, suc- ceeded in White ns as to lis situation and prospects: that he was an emigre, and ¢ Without a slizht blush, that he received peen- y aid from the British governinent.

From the New York Shipping List, There is perhaps no better way to vary and extend the manufacturing industries of the | country than to provide technical instruction in the leading cities and towns for the rising gene- ration of youth. Our free-school system is con- cededly the best in the world, and, believing in the blessings of education, we maintain it at a heavy cost. But it is complained that. while our public schools educate the he neglect the hands. Knowledge is an excelient thing, but | the knowledge gained throuzh our public school system Is too largely theoretical at the expense of being too little practical. How many ot the thousands who, when they leave school, are fitted for anything but to become a portion of the great mass of unskilled laborers, of which we have no lack? We surpass ail other nations in manufacturing and labor-saving implements and machines, but we are behind other nations in many of the finer and more valuable articles ofmanufacture. Our cotton and wool from the south and west, the crude ores from our mines, we transport long distances to be manutactured and returned tous. Much of our best skilled labor we import. While we foster and sustain a public echool system, Gerimany, France and Great Britain make large appropriations for technical instruc- tion. As one of the results, we import both the skilled laborer and the products of his labor. The education we furnish, excellent as it 1s, lacks the one element of technical instruction. We stop where we ought to go one step farther. We have turned out scholars, or what passes for such, by hundreds and thousands, but we haye not taken sufiicient account of the necessity of training the greater number of those who attena the public schools in a manner that will fit them for the practical duties of life. We have given them ambitious that but few are ever destined to realize, and we have failed to imipress uj them the saving truth that there is no cal ing: that a young man cannot make honorable, if he will, by his walk and conduct in life and by his thoroughness of the work he has laid himself out todo. But to doa thing well he must first be taught how to set about it. Such knowledge does not come by intuition, but by processes which the brain, the hand and the eye combine to perfect. Herein is the wide gap in our scheme of education that it is imperative in us we should strive to fill up by institutes of technology. .

Real estate is a sizgnifleant phrase applied to property. Land is not evanescent. It is ac- tual wealth. — It is not always re: converti- | 1 ble into cash, but that renders it, in some | | respects, a still safer possession, tor it will not | take wings and fly away A man who owns such an amount of realestate that he can, bj | economy, pay the taxes and keep ft unencum- | bered, has started on the read to fortane. Real estate is always growing in value. Its value may increase more rapidly in some localities than in others. But, except in infrequent cases, where wild real estate speculation has carried away ail the impulses ot common sense, land is aiways worth more this ir than it was last y it will be worth more next year than it is to-day. ery day that | elapses increases the value of every acre of the soil. A recent New York newspaper publishes some Intesesting statistics ot real estate in that city. The figures are, of course. taken from the assess- ment lists and are subject to such allowan as are to be made for the manner in which as- sessors ordinarily peform their duties. Their values are seldom correct, bein generally mach under a cash ratio, and they are not fairly equalized. With these drawbacks, the tellow- ins ficures from New York city for the years 1870, 1880, 1852, 1583, and 1884 are of interest: | Year. | isto. 1880. 1888. 1883.

In Chicago the increase in the value of real es- tate within the past six years has raised many men to the rank of capitalists who were poor a few yearsago. Many men supposed to be hope- lessly bankrupt have emerged from the clouds of ruin, borne upwards on the prices of their real estate, which they supposed had been encum- bered up to its full value, but which has so risen in price that its value proved sufficient to pay off all claims agalust it and leave its owner cur. —————_+e-—_____ for Stay-nt-Homes, Dr. C.

ACROSS THE PAMPAS AND ANDES. Here for the first time I witnessed the mili tary punishment known as “staking out,” which was inflicted upon two soldiers for seme act of insubordination. Each culprit was placed flat upon the ground, with his face downwards, and his ankles and wrists fastened with wet thongs of rawhide to stakes driven securely in the ground, in which position he formed a rude imitation of the letter X. According as the thongs which bound him to the stakes dried they became shorter, stretching the unfortunate victim's legs and arms in a way that must have been exceedingly uncomfortable. If to this be added the extra torture inflicted by mosquitoes and the innumerable other biting and stinging insects which infest the pomney. it must be ad- mitted that the punishment one of great severity, especially when continued for a con- siderable length of time, as it was on this occa- lon. ——_-e-______ Mrs. Honcymoon im Sweet Simplicity.

From the Boston Advertiser The American trotter, represented by Maud 8, succeeded last Saturday in coing a mile in 2:09%, the little black gelding Jay Eye See having | done the same distance in 2:10 the day before, | though upon a faster track. These victories over thne must be attributed to the Cal- | vinism of our ancestors, which diverted their | love of horseflesh from the racer to the more | sedate and practical trotter. In the southern states, where Calvinism took no root, the run- ning horse always retained his position, and for . he has flourished in the eastern states as well.

Some months ago a commis- | sion of army officers was sent to this c pantry by the French government to inspect American | horses; and in their report they called attention j to the large number of detective horses, such as we describe, and condemned thei in round terms.

Early in the six- tes the famous Hiram Woodruff drove the mare Peerless to. a wagon a quarter of a mile at the rate of a mile in two minutes, and long before he had driven the pacer Dart a quarter in thirty- four seconds.

Rey. E, Wentworth in Troy Times, In mid-May, 1832, when I was eighteen years old, I went from southeastern Connecticut by steam to Albany, cars to Schnectady, canal to Syracuse, and stage from thence to Cazenovia, to enter a boarding seminary, in preparation for college. At that period emigrant ships were nearing the American coast with Asiatic cholera asapassenger. It appeared in Quebec on the 8th of June, and in Montreal on the 10th; and reached its height In each city in about ten days, when the deaths were 150 a day—Quebec losing 2,200, and the sister city 1,800, by the dreaded scourge. On the 27th it appeared in New York, and by the 4th of July had spread all over the city, and was at its heicht on the 25th, on which day there were 115, deaths. It left the last of August. and the whule number of deaths was over 3,000, at a time when the population of the | city was 200,000, and this, presumably, lorgely diminished by the emigration produced by the scare. It attacked Albany July 3, and con- tinued sixty-cne days, during which ‘time there were some 400 deaths out ppulation of 24,000.

From the Arkansaw Traveller, "Squire Patterson, wearing an air of deep con- cern, approacked his friend, Farmer Glover, and without speaking, leaned on the fence and sighed. “What's the matter, squire?” “I don’t know what this country’s comin’ too.

I would try to think that it happened for the best.” “Would you forgive the girly” asked the “squire. waxes, I believe I would. There's no use in holding out, you know.
