C ee ee THE CAR TRACKS, © Grent Damage Done Private Vehi- The Cres a Change Mequired. Mr. Charles H. Latrobe, the well-known civil engineer, to writes the Baltimore Sun about car tracks in the streets, and his remarks apply with equal force in Washington. In his com- munication he says: “The street railways as at present constructed are the most abominable nuisance imaginable to every owner of a wheeled vehicle. Were it possible to collect the statistics of the damage | done to carriages, wagons, drays and trucks of | all kinds by the bondage of the tracks it would appeal to the common sense of the public so foreibly as to bring about a revolution in the construction and maintenanee of the street rail- ways. “There are at this date “over 9.000 business wagons and trucks of all kinds registered in this city; aa there is no forced registry of pleas- ure carriages, it is difficult to do more than es- timate them; we will assume them at 5.000. We thus have a’ total of 14.000 wheeled vehicles, which. In the rapid extension of the railway system now going on, are totally disregarded. “To state it aain, the tracks of the city pas- senzer railways are ‘constructed entirely in the interest ot about 1.000 cars which are made for them, while 14,000 wheeled vehicles of various gauges are ignored and thelr owners taxed to an enormous amount annually because of the said tracks. That this grievance is not over- stated, let any one drive in any direction within the city limits for half a day and report his ex- perience—the pulling in and out to avoid other Vehicles, the dodging of cars, the getting jam- med in switches until the wheels, compressed to the utmost, actually spring up and out, the Tunning foul of switel points and frogs, the oc- casional dropping into the gutters between the tracks and crossing plates, the horrible condi- tion into which the cobbles get immediately ad- | joining the rails. These are all live issues and | apply with equal force to pleasure carriages and | business trucks; indeed, the heavier the truck the more it suffers from this bondage of the | tracks. So true is this, that- as long as there | were trackless streets they were used at consid- | erable loss of distance, and it is perfectly safe to estimate the increased wear and tear of every tind of vehicle, due to the present form of track, at 100 percent over what it would be with untracked or properly tracked stree Th is not the whole | trend xe to streets is almost as | great. “The mi it factor in the dura- bility of paved surfaces, nevermind how paved, is in the uniform distribution of the traffic from prefer not to drive in the carway, is to hock one side in the outer rail and let the other run free. abounds, on makes arut, and so the ruin of the sur- reet is a notable instance ar | face is bezun.

The expression of grief in bereavement is found to be characteristic as well of nations as of individuals; and given the funeral customs of any peopie one might almost predicate the degree of advancement in civilization, and, toa degree, the creed. Among primitive peoples the ceremonial expressions of grief are simple exaggerations of the natural emotions—a care- lessness to usual comfort, a distracting agony, fasting, wringing the hands, tearing the hair, beating the breast, ete. Havwailans gash the body and cut off an ear or knock out a front tooth as a proper toilet for grief, and when a King dies the nation pret and all manner of crime is comn remonial expression 6f the sorrow which Is supposed to have driven them frantic, but such wild grief is ort lived; “Long live the King” iscried on the morrow and the madness of joy supervenes. ‘The New Zealanders daub themselves with red paint, but wear this ghastly mourning decora- hort time. Dahomey mourns longer.and keeps up the friendly intercourse with the departed, killing a slave now and again that the soul’ may tell news of those left behind. The Karems regard everything pertain- ing to death with horror; clothes, books, farni- ture, every article which the’ deceased has used is committed to the flames; to touch any article belonging to the dead would be as fatal as the poisoned tunic of Nessus, not only to the body, but the soul. These burn their dead, and hired women mourn awhile; when their hov lings ceases there is an end of all signs of gri The Ethiopians expect the dead to return to the earth and tor ashort period wear brown, the color of the good mother who has received once more her own to her bosom, fitting show of sorrow, since from the earth the dead come no more. These have no hope in a future life. Some sort of dishyurement seems essential to the Oriental idea of mourning. They discolor the face, allowing hair and nails and beard to urow, casting ashes on their heads and wearing sack cloth. From the South Sea Islands somes a hint of possible consolation in be- reavement, for their mourning dress is lack and white, expressing boti sorrow and nope. Without a state religion there yet seems to be among the Chinesea certain looking for- ward toa better life, and this common hope, arising as it does from different motives and different religious creeds, is Illustrated in their dress after the death ‘of afriend. They express mourning by sewing white stripes on ordinary garinents, wearing white shoes and painti white stripe on the door post of the dweiling. These symbols are marks of shall we say woe? Nay. rather hope, for to the tollowers of Buddha there is far in the future the blessed Nirvana, when the material part and various transmi- grations endured, the soul is at last absorbed in the bosom of the Deity. All rejoice that the loved one is gone to be among the gods, with | whom he is reme ed in their worship. The Chinese followers of Contueius live practical lives, and, avoiding all thousht of the future, dure bereavement stoicaily, wearing the a matter of form. "Tis a custom eto make preparation for death with this peo} we do for the disposal of property. for the ad becomes as gods to be worshipped, and so ‘tis gain to die. A coffin is considered quite a proper gift from a son to a father, and It is told hat a traveler attending a funeral at Pekin found the coflin covered with an elegantly em- broidered silk sheet. wrought and presented to the deceased years before by his devoted wife. How many of us would enjoy such a testimo- nial? The mourning of white stripes is worn only a few months. The fashions in Japan are similar to those of China. Persia mourns in paie brown, the color of withered Teaves; while sky blue, which whispers of hope that the deceased has gone into heaven, is the mourning color for Syria, Cappadocia, Ar- menia and Turkey. The Mohammedans are for- bidden to wear mourning at all, or to wail at the grave, for “are not the good rewarded after ad and doth it not behoove the true be- lever to say, even in the presence of bereave- ment, ‘Allah, allab, God is good! Black and brown were thecolors chosen by the Greeks and Romans, but were worn only ten months. Egyptian and Burmese use yellow, signifying exaltation, since these, as indeed nearly ali na- tions, enjoy the sweet hope of a life beyond the grave. The Norsemen and the Gauls in their inytholigies, the Druids in their weird rites, the South Americans who build gorgeous eee pee to the sun, from whom and in whom and to whom are all things, the Red men ci America, who are glad to join-the departed chiefs in the “Great Huating Ground,” each and all tell of the sweet hope of immortality, of a life better, purer, fuller than any conceived of here, each in a measure rejoices with the dead who are blessed.

Tis an impertinence to ask, do you love your ehild. your husband, your parent? Yet let either die, and fashion demands an accurate measurement of grief by means of crape or gar- ments. My objections to the wearing of mourn- ing garb, of what color soever, are: Ist, The re- Hex influence on the wearer is bad, If the sorrow it expresses is real. 2d. It is undesirable to surround children and invalids with the symbols of grief 8d. The expense is often greater than consistent with the circumstances of the 4th. In many instances the crape ¢: presses a sham sentiment, or is merely @ con- cession to fashion. 5th. "Tis like a reburial when the mourning is taken off. I would fain have all the appointments of a funeral as simple and quiet as possible, sympa- thizing with Charles Dickens, who, in his last will, said: **I emphatically direct that I beburied in an inexpensive, unostentatious. strictly pri- yate manner; that’no public announcement be made of the time and plece of my funeral; that not more than three plain mourning coacties be employed, and that those who attend my funeral wear no scart. cloak, black bow, long bat band or other revolting absurdity.” Itesentiment is conservative, women certainly illustrate its power. Men make small change in dress when in affliction, but, with the heartache well hidden, go on with life’s duties. Women are expected among all people to do the wail- ing, the mourning. They are, theoretically, suf- ficiently at leisure to indulge grief, and one of the strongest arguments in favor of a mourning garb is, “When one is in black nothing is ex- pected; the dress protects from many social de- mands.” Let us scorn the sham sentiment. Disinclination is sufficient protection. and one has an entire right to do what does not hurt one’s neighbor. And surely all grief which hin- ders the doing of lite’s duty is a dishonor to our dead and a defrauding of the living. In this nineteenth century we have yet to leara to view death aright. To scientist and Christian alike there should be much more of joy than of sor- row in contemplating the death of a friend. Custom makes cowards of us all,and the para- phernalia of woe is many times a tax the scan- tily filled purse can iliy bear. Atlow me one reminiscence. A clerk who had lived to the fullest extent of his salary suddenly died, and sympathizing friends in the business house of which he wasa member made up from their small “means a purse of $100, whicn was pre- sented to the widow, soon to be a moth Did she put the money by for atime of need? Ver' no. The propricties must be observed. Bou zine and crape, widow's caps to disficure th young face, black bonnet and veil soon made a Yast inroad in the tiny store, and the baby boy came into the world branded pauper by the very conditions of his birth—doctor’s service a charity, attendance rendered by neihbors. Why should she be so weak, you ask? It might have been you or I, for would either of us have the couraze to withstand public opinion? Abroad, a royal family dictates the amount of mourning to be worn for each member of a household; in America, where each claims to be a law to him- self, let us defy imported customs, net try to express the depth of our sorrow by the depth of our erape.— Read at the Woman's Congress, in Chicago, October, 1882 A John Dufrane’s Remarriage to the Wife who Eloped from Him Many Years ago. RANGE ROMANCE. From the New York Sun. In 1858 John Dufrane, a young and well-to-do farmer of McKean township, Erie county, Pa., met at an evening pari Mary Johnson, an attractive and moti girl. who acted as housekeeper for her father. Young Dufrane was afterward a frequent caller at Miss John- son's house, and, being a likely young fellow, he found tayor in tie eyes of the girl’s father, | and was cordially received by the young mis- tress of the house. About this time a young soatherner, Orlando Ambererombie, appeared in the neighborhood, and, being of excellent ad- dress, became the lion of local society. Miss Johnson fell in jove with him. The intimacy between Miss Johnson and the southerner has- tened the suit of young Dutrane, but, to his great sorrow, his proposal was rejected by the girl, although slie told him that she felt honored by his offer.’ Mary’s father was greatly disap- pointed, and said so much on the subject that she finally consented to marry Dutrane, A few days after the return from the wedding trip Mrs. Dutrane received a letter purporting to inform her of theillness of a schoolmate in Erie, who requested her immediate presence. With her hustand’s consent, she lett home, os- tensibly on that ground. She failed to return, and then it was learned that she had left Erie in the company ot Aimbercrombie. ‘The runaways were traced to Niagara Falls, and there all trace of them were lost. Alter four years, young Dufrane married an orphan girl in the hborhood. When the war broke out he among the first to enlist in one of the three Ohio regiments. At the battle of Antietam Du- frane was dangerously wounded. His young wife found him in the cotton factory hospital in Harrisburg, where, through her care, he was restored to health. Dufrane returned to his regiment, and his wife to her home, but the ex- posure and anxiety she had undergone planted the seed of a fatal disease, and she died just after her husband had been honorably ‘dis- charged. About the same time the father of Dufrane’s truant wife died, leaving to Dutrane his estate, valued at $25,000, with the request that Dufrane should do all in his power to find the missing woman, and, if found apart from her paramour and in needy cireumstanees, to. make her com- fortavle. After a search of several years Dutrane almost given up hope of ever hearing from her, but recently a letter came from her to a friend of her father. She was in Warren. Through the intercession of her father's friend the executor of the will went at once to War- ren, and there found the erriag wife. Among her papers was a divorce decree granted by an Indiana court from Dufrane and a marriage certificate showing her legal marriage to Amber- crombie. The broken-hearted woman said that Ambercrombie had engaged in the business of supplying miners, at which ke amassed a tor- tune, but drink and cards afterwards made him poor. His abuse and neglect of her caused her to leave him five years ago. She then supported herselt by working as a servant in hotels in Denver and Chicago, and finally at Warren, where she had been employed as a servant in a private house. The killing of her husband in*a gamblers’ quarrel in Denver last winter gave her the freedom she had prayed for, and then she wrote the letter reterred to above. The truant wife was brought east, and Da- frane’s love for her was renewed. Last week they were remarried. a A Terrible Revenge. From the Chicago Tribune. “Kiss me azain.” Tender and true were the great brown eyes that looked so trustfully into those of Richard Irwin as these words were spoken, andas he gazed long and lovingly into their liquid depths there came to him with terrible force the reali- zation of how much this girl had suffered. how much she had given up, and how much she was yet to undergo for his sake. They had been married but three days, these two, and their story was the old, old one of that most priceless treasure—the pure and passionless love ofatrue and noble woman being bestowed upon one whose social status was beneath that of her whom the mysterious and potent influence of an unchanging affection had drawn to his side. Gladys Hathaway was @ girl fair of featyre and beautiful of form, and since the day when her mother—dying aimost at the moment of her greatest joy—had placed In her husband’s arms the tiny waif of humanity whose entrance into the world had been the cause of so much sorrow, and told him to guard and cherish it fot her sake, she had been alike the Joy and idol of her father. All that parental love could suggest and wealth procure had been lavished upon her, and when, like some fair flower of the Orient, she had grown almost unconsciously from a tall, shy girl into a woman whose statuesque beauty was not more attract- ive than the queenly poise of her regal head and the soft, winning tones of her voice, there had come to Brierton Villa suitors by the score. But none had won her heart. id alike to all, she gave each one plainly to understand that friendship was not love, esteem not affec- tion. And so the years went on wit” gilent tread until one evening at a fete champetre given at her father’s house Gladys had met Roscoe Nut- wood. She was a girl of strong perceptive faculties, being frequently able to fna ple in the pantry when the hired girl had said there was none there, and an Instant after she had been introduced to Roscoe she knew that her future life was linked with his, and that some day she would be his wife. And the oracle of her soul had spoken truly. Loving bim with a passion- ate adoration that knew no bounds, and appreci- ating in all its horrible intensity the fact that her father, strong in the pride of ancestry, would never consent to etheir union, she had Voldly leaped the barriers of social prejudice aud fied from home and friends and kindred with the man without whose loving words and clinging kisses her life held naught but desoia- tion and sorrow. “Here is the paper, sweetheart,” said Roscoe. She glanced down the columns carelessly, when suddenly her eye fell upon something of absorbing interest. It was an article concern- ing her elopement—the sensation ot the day. On and on she read, until suddenly the peachy cheeks grew white witha ghastly pallor, the luminous eyés were dim with the mists of sor- row, and the lines of her beautiful cameo face were tense with agony. “My God!” exclaimed Roscoe, taking her In his arms, “what has happened?’ “Papa has been interviewed,” she gasped be- tween the convulsive sobs that almost choked her utterance, ‘and he has taken an awful re- venge.” “What has he done?” asks the husband. “He has,” exclaimed the girl, “given my ex- act age.” ———____+9-_______ A Yankee inventer has invented a solid salt eylinder, hung on a bracket and protected by a tin hood, which is said to give the average cow unlimited enjoyment at a small price. ‘The Festive Drummer Satisties a Scale ous Wite.

Afew days since, while her hus- band was on atrip through Dakota, she went down to the store and, approaching the porter, said: “John, you like to make a dollar honestly when you can, don’t you?” “Oh, yes'm.' “You know where my husband keeps his grip when he comes in, don’t you?” “Yes't He throws it down ina corner of the office an’ leaves it there.” “Well, look here, Join. He will be in on the Northern Pacitic train to-morrow morning, and it, at the firet opportunity, you slip his grip out of the house and bring It up to me, I'll give you adollar. You can bring it back again in balf an hour.” The porter consented, and two days later pre- sented himself at the drummer's residence with the grip in his hand. He explained that he had not before had an opportunity to carry it away, and, giving him a seat in the parlor, the woman carried her prize to the bedroom, and with set teeth and a pale face opened it. ‘The first thing she encountered was a well-worn pocket Bible, thumbed and showing the marks of much hand- ling. Then she dug out a soiled shirt, some un- chaste socks, comb, hair-brush, and then she found a letter tolded within an enyelope. This she opened eagerly, and read as follo Fargo, D.

This drove much of the hard, stony look from her face, but she continued her search. She fished out three or four tracts, a bottle of pop. a Francis Murphy temperance badge, a bottle of Dr. Surepop’s corn destroyer, and, beneath it in the bottom ot the grip, a letter, sealed, mped and ready for the mail, addressed to “Miss Georgie Gray, St. Paul, Minn.” The saper known handwr: she cried, In he ions are too well founde Ob! this is too much! too muc! ga toa flood of tears. When she had cain.ed herselt she tore the let- ter open and read as follows: “Sr. Pav, Mixy., Sept. 19 spark $ me by a distri In reply permit me to nthe man.

In my eyes there is but one woman in the world. and she it is who greets me with a pleasant smile and a wifely kiss every time I come from atrip. Wittiam —.” Then she laid down on the bed and sobbed “or a while, and then closed the grip, took it to the porter, and asked him to return it to the store, and say nothing of what had occurred. As he entered the store, the drummer stepped from behind a pile of zoods, and asked: “Did she go through It, John?” “Guess so. She took it into another room, an’ was gone half an hour betore she bre ht it back.” “How did she act?” “Well, she was smilin’ awfully, but looked teary like around the eyes.

Under the Spanish regime in Peru. as far back as 1660. one of the richest silver mines was that knownas the Manto, owned by two Anda- lusian Spaniards. the brothers Jose and Caspar Salcedo, and the mineral was found in large deposits of virgin silver,which was sent directly to tite mint at Arequipa just as it came from the mine. Quite a large city, San Luis de Alv: soon grew up around the habitations of the Sal- cedos, to which resurted the wild, adventurous spirits from all quarters of Peru, in quest of some share In the wonderful output of silver, whether by craft or force. Soon a fend broke out between the Andalusians and the Biscayans, who had come to outnumber the former. Bitter conflicts took place, and in one of these, it is said, as many as a thousand men of the two parties were left on the field of battle. The in- cessant bloody disturbances finally provoked the Spanish viceroy. on Pedro Fernandez y Andrade Conde de Lemos, to go to the scene with a considerable force in June, 1868. He burned San Luis de Alyato the ground and took away from It the title of city, which was transferred to the neighboring village of San Juan Bautista, with the name San Carlos de Puno. Don Jose de Salcedo sought to placate the viceroy by the present of the bars of silver with which he had paved the pathway from San Luis to his own house tor the viceroy to walk upon, but while the silver was ac- cepted, the unfortunate Salcedo was placed in irons. The same night there was affixed to the door of the lodgings of the viceroy these words: “Count de Lemos, abate your zeal, for if not we shall see.” This pasquin, so to speak, hav- ing been carried to the viceroy, he wrote be- neath it: ‘We shall kill. We shail hang. After- ward we shall see.” This was then reattached to the door, the chiefs of both parties were hung, and Don Jose de Salcedo was strangled at the mouth of his rich silver mine, which was confiscated to the crown of Spain. The other brother, Don Gaspar, who meanwhile had fled to Spain, demanded restitution of the property and justice before the council of the Indies for the execution of Don Jose, by whose death he declared the Spanish crown was a great loser, Inasmuch as the mine when worked by them had paid to the king in the preceding two vears and a halt as much as 91,774,000 as the crown’s share of the whole product of 8,760,000. After seven years of solicitation he gained his suit and recovered possession of the property. But meanwhile all his fortune had been spent in Spain, and the mine, having been left unworked, was filled with water; consequently he was wholly unable to meet the heavy expense of re- opening and working it. So he died in poverty, after having been possessed of an enormous fortune. Subsequently others were ruined in the effort to rid El Manto of the water, until it fell into possession of English parties, who have managed to work it profitably again. Going to be a Flop. From the Chicago Heratd, “What's thé biggest family record you've got here?” asked a long-haired and big-whiskered man at republican headquarters last evening. “Thirty-seven,” was the reply. “All reffublicans?” “Every one. Not a democrat or a bolter in the family.” “Well, mister, I can just beat that. I'm a representative of a family of forty-nine.
