Many women appear to thiok that men are in some mysterious Way under ebiiations to compensate to them for the breach of contact committed by the carriers. But this is ‘Ot 4 reasonable View to take, Neither 1s 1t just to lay the blame of the over-crowding of SR And sages upon. the public. The location of She responsibility 1s surely clear enough. It rests corporations, It ts their plain duty to provide every pamenger with a seat. Every pas- Senger pays for a seat and is entitled to it, and the corporations violate their contracts and their charters when they compel the public to stand ‘snd when they crowd the cars to suffocation. “The contention of the carriers that the public farsina thorougnly dningenuoes Peetsres ihe a nuous pretence. The jublic will undoubtedly continue to crowd the so long ag they are not only permitted but in- Vited to do'so, It is the duty of the companies to formulate and enforce rules protibiting the en- france of passengers into cars all the yeatsin which sre occupied 4 done in pubile conveyances allover Europe. It is the rule in London, where {Becrowds are much greater than here, ‘so that $e pretext put forward by our carriers is mani festly vain.

The com- Paaies which take the money of the pubic do not sive consideration for it, and they ought to be Exiled and held to account “As Uo the question of manners, it ought not to be raised, and for the reason that every man who ‘gives up his seat to a woman in the cars Is at tle Same tune compelled to tudorse and support tie Tank abuse practised upon the public by the cur- Yoratious Clearly itis uot fair to treat this ques. oa as a simple oe of courtesy.

In fact, the express com- Panies claim that they already abide by the rules established In the act.

L. J, WATCH RESIGNS FROM THE BUREAU OF EN- GRAYING AND PRINTING—HIS REMARKABLE Ca- RERR. Mr. Lorenzo J. Hatch has resigned his position a8 engraver in the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing and started last night for Chicago. He has been engaged by the Western Bank- note Co,, of Chicago, at a high salary. The Bureau will lose a bright gentus and one of the best engravers in the country. His story is au interesting one. His fatber Wasa man of talent, employed for many years in Vermont and otuer parts of New England in designing monuments, ¥aults and other work in marble and granite, His deata Was unexpected, and little else tham their home was left to his Widow and her three children, Ube eldest of Whom Was the boy Lorenzo, At ff: ‘veen he was APPRENTICED TO A JEWELER in the small town of Salem, N. Y., not far from the Vermont home of his mother. Mr. George B. Meartee, then chief of the bureau, was visiting 4m the place, and his attention was attracted by a ‘shal! copper-plate engraving in the possession of a iriend. he agraving wan copy of a portrait of Washington then in use on the 25 cent fractional currency notes, and Was so finely executed that Mr. MeCartee was strong in the bellef that he had unexpectedly come upon a skillful counterfeiter. When the jeweler’s apprentice Was introduced to him as the one who had engraved the plate Mr. MeCartee could not believe It, ‘and it was not oti he had been shown other specimens of the boy's remarkable talent as a portrait engraver that he believed the statement, Mr. MeCartee at once ex- pressed a desire to have the iad come to Washing- ton, Where, in the bureau, under the training and advice of the artists in tis employ, the talent of Unis New England genius could Ve fully devel- oped. When he came he was to an en- graver's table—the first apprentice ever employed tb the division, HIS WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT. His compensation was at first merely nominal. One of his early tasks was to make a reduced copy of a portrait of Bryant, which Charles Burt had then recently engraved for a memorial volume of the poet's works, and for watch he had been pald 4 very large sum. It was one of Burt's best efforis and ho fuer specimen of the engraver’s art could have been found as a “copy.” Young Hatch suc- ceeded tn producing a portrait of Bryant that for arlistic sktll amazed every one. Mr. Burt, who lived in Brooslyn, and rarely came to Wasiington, Was displeased when first. shown the picture, but When he met the young engraver his displeasure ‘Was lost in his asionistument, rom that time, about ten years ago, youn; Hateh has remsined 1m the Bureau, and every sear has brougit with 1 for his new achievements and lncreased compensation. Recent speciinens of his Work are portraits of Garfield on the new $5 na- onal currency note, and of Grant on the § sliver certificate; and as showing uis Versatliity of talent, he designed and engraved the “ptcture-work” of the back of the $5 s iver certificate, as Well a3 other work of « shullay character ou notes lately issued by the ‘Treasury. “Mr. Hatch has developed his talent for sketching in Water colors, and Las & rtiollo of sketches that are the admiration of a e circle of friends.

Smoke will certainly play an important part in the warfare of the future, Last year, at Milford Haven, and this year, in Langstone Harbor, it was artificially created in large quantities in order to form screens behind which attacking forces might unobserved approach within range of forts and batteries. On each occasion ratts laden with com- Dustibies were set on fire and floated into positions from Which the Wind carried the smoke in a more or less dense cloud tn the direction of the defense, On the other hand, ever since the introduction of modera ordnance ‘and rapid rifte-fire, st has been felc that the huge volumes of smoke whicn would be belched forth during 4 battle of the present day would probably prevent the use of big guns to best advantage. Sinoke, in fact, nay, according to cir- cumstances, be either a great assistance ora grave impediment tn warfare. ‘The Ideal state of Uhiugs 4s, of course, one 1n Which the production of smoke shall be controlled, go that elther a clear atmos- phere or a clouded one may, as need inay arise, be 2reated around a battery or slp in action.

One morning he neglected to put up the bars on the side he had finished, and so drove the tigers out of the te ‘side St tne open cage, The animals, on obtaining their liberty, ‘ifferent direc tons, and, crouching in the nearest corners, lay snarling ahd exposing their teeth, showing un mistakable sigps of a most dangerous fear. That side of the deck was deserted, and the crowd gazed in interest at @ respectful distance. Mr. Fieuse, ‘he Ubird officer, the second officer, and the keeper each placed himself before a Uger, barring their exit, should they attempt to move away. Fleuse inquired if the tigers had been fed that Gay. ‘They, had not; they bad always been on living fowls, “ Fleuse called for three chickens from the ben-coop. ‘Taking nese, he Uurew one in the face of each, Uger, The chickens seemed simply motiontess, glued to the spot, #o instantaneous was the fixing of teeth and claws.

It growled fearfully; its eyes blazed; {ts teeth crushed turouga, the chicken; “its unsheathed claws clasped and plerced its quivering body. | Red-hot, trons would hardly have made it loosen its grip of the bird, ‘Then the Keeper and the others helped Fleuse in carrying the remaining tigers into the cage. Cock Fights Cocktails, WAR AGAINST BOTH IN SOUTH CAROLINA. A special to the New York World trom Charles- ton, 8. C., December 24, says: Charleston is fight- ing Sunday cocktails, Columbus 18 trying to sup- press her cock-pit, and the legislature bas just authorized Greenville and Abbeville Counties to hold sp cial probibition elections, The war on the Sunday cocktall 1s still golug on in Charleston, although from the appearance of the bar-rooms Jast Sunday strangers would never have known it, On Thursday night a meeting was held in the Cum- Deriand Methodist Chureh, && which the temper~ ance people pl ‘themsélves to push the seduc.

In the Evening Sun to-day Michael Keily, award politi. clan of Some popularity and influence, addressed an open letter to Capt. George D.

From the Chicago Herald.

There- by hangs tale. It happens that Dr. Henson has a bad eye, the luckless member having been in- jJured when he Was but a boy. The eye is not quite signtiess, but nearly 80. ‘The Christian sclence apostles belng pretty generally sincere and zealous persons, eager Lo convert any one at whom they get a chance, Dr, Henson haS not escaped their solicitation. One of these apostles who tried to make the Baptist man see that the new religion 4s better than the old was 30 hard pressed by the doctor's arguments ayalast it that he finally de- seended to Waat Dr, Henson considered an unwar- ranted personality. “Mr. deuson,” he “you have been a pro- fessing Chrisdan all your fife, and that without any reifef.
