THE ARMY. Gen. Schofield’s First Annual Report. The first annual report of Major-Gen, Scho- field to the Secretary of War contains a recom- Mmendation that two artillery regiments be added to the division of the Pacific without materially increasing the number of officers, but necessitating the addition of about 5,000 enlisted men to the present numberg It is Fecommended that a number of young ers of the infantry and cavalry school who have failed to meet the requirements be debarred from promotion. General Schofield suggests that officers detailed at colleges be authorized to give practical in- struction in sea-coast defense to such portion of the National Guard as may be organized for that branch of the public service. The report states that the time and circumstances now seem peculiarly favorable to placing the sea- coast and frontiers of the country in a state of security becoming the dignity pr great and proud, though just and peaceful nation. It is Feeommended that the reward for the arrest of a be increased to $100, to be taken out of his retained pay; that at least half of the pay of soldiers hereafter enlisted be retained. making an exception in the cases of men known to de- vote their Pay to the support of dependent rel- atives, and that it be practicable in time of peace for an enlisted man to dissolve his contract of enlistment by obtaining a discharge with forfeiture of so much of his retained pay as may be necessary to reimburse the U: for expenses. Gen. Schofield also recommended [liberal appropriations for the signal service Proper. Mr. Fry was an Ardent Suitor. BE DIDN'T MAKE LOVE To Rs. JARD ON HIS FIRST CALL, BUT HE TALKED ABOUT LOVE IN GENERAL. After the selection of a jury in Mrs. Hib- bard's $100,000 breach-of-promise suit against millionaire Henry R. Fry, at Beaver, Pa, yes- terday, Mrs. Hibbard took the stand and began herstory. She said she had known Mr. Fry for seventeen years and attended the same church. He bey paying attention to her at a picnic at Rock Point years after the death of his wife. He sat beside her and they read the same paper on the train. He asked about her habits and when he could call and see her. She told him to call that night, and when he came into the parlor said she was the first lady he had ealled on since his wife's death, and he felt eer. He also said he felt lonely and was ing three men’s work to keep his mind occupied. He asked her why she did not marry, and she replied ,that she did not think much of love affairs. fe then drew his chair closer and seemed eager. He did not make love to her that night, but talked generally of love affairs. When he left he said she was the loveliest woman he had ever known, and invited himself to call the following Tuesday night. soe It Made Her Sad. From the Merchant Traveler. “And the letter that he longed for never came,” sang the youth with the large Adams apple and the cross-cut voice. When he had coneluded Miss Pepperton remarked to him: “Do you know, Mr. Bibberton. I can scarcely keep the tears back when yousing that ballad.” _ it affeet you so much as that?” “Yes, indeed.” “Perhaps it recalls some incident that brings it home to you with more than ordinary force.” “No, it is not that. But I always wish that the writer of the letter had thought to register it, or at least put a special delivery stamp on it.” ——_e-_ The Cut Direct.

My long experience of life and my contact with all sorts of people have given me the im- pression that beneath and within, so to say, the sameness of character which undoubtedly exists in mankind there is yet more diversity than I used to discover. Almost everybody, I find, has a good many nooks and crannies in his nature, so that the more intimately you know him the more clearly does his individual- ity stand out. I was reminded of this general truth, which may perhaps wear the aspect of a truism, by something that was said to me the other night by a very clever woman of my ac- quaintance. She is the wife of a scientific man, whose literary taste also is highly cultivated, and on my inquiring if she read a certain book, she replied: “No, —,” naming her husband. “spoiled that for me. He read it first.” Iwas ata loss at first to understand what this remark, which was put in half-seri- ous, balf-humorous fashion, really meant; but learned on investigation that the lady liked to take her literature with the dew upon it, as it were, and that she has the same aversion to a book which somebody else has gone through and di of with a criticism, either com- limentary or the reverse, that other ple ve for warmed-over dishes. Any little intens- ity of this kind interests me, because I always find it associated with an “original” character. ——— ee Cheap Clothes, BOW MEN CAN DRESS DECENTLY AT VERY SLIGHT EXPENSE. From the Philadelphia Times, Everybody, excepting the people who write on the subject for the newspapers, knows that that the old and important questson: “How much does it cost a man to dress?” is as difficult ‘to answer as the equally old and less important one, “How big is a piece of chalk?” It costs a man just as much or almost as little ag he chooses tospend on his clothing. and on that Proposition hangs an interesting story. Twenty Ee ago the average city man who felt obliged | appear well dressed would seldom buy cloth- ing at a “ready-made clothing store.” His gar- ments, at least his better ones, were invariably | made to order. To-day many well-dressed men buy all or nearly all their garments ready-made. e art of cutting is as carefully studied and | practiced in the factories now as it is in any of the tailors’ establishments where fancy prices are paid by the consumer for individual at- tention. Naturally, also, there have been some improvements in what may be called the mechanios of the trade, such as the cutting of numerous thicknesses of cloth at once with a cireular knife, run, like a circular sawe by steam or electric Power, but these are of com- tively little importance, since, after all, labor is necessary for the most of the work in making clothes, and individual skill is the main factor in the production, While it is true that a man on the same amount of money can dress much better than formerly, it is also true that he can dress as well ashe did-formerly on much less money, and the smallness of the sum now required to fit a man with a complete suit of coat, vest, trousers and overcoat is most amazing to those who have not studied the question. Se is diff- cult to establish grades in the infinite variety in which men dress, but it may be done ap- proximately, and for the sake of illustration I ‘will suppose four cases. The first is a man of comfortable means who into “society,” dines occasionally at a fashionable restaurant and is @ “first-nighter,” but who economizes whenever he can without sacrificing appear- ances. He may dress so that his clothes may never be noticed by any one (which is said to be the test of good }) on very little $ evening suit will cost him from his business suit will cost him from £20 to $25, and his morning dress suit, or Prince Albert, will cost 24 to @23. These clothes, it is understood, will fit him as well and will last as long or nearly as long as if made to order by a first-class tailor. His over- coats will cost, say €20 for the light one and about $25 for the heavy one. The difference between the expense of dress- ing im this case and in the next one, which is that of a hardworking clerk, who is compelled to make a small salary go as far as possible. is that the first man will duplicate his suits oftener snd have a greater variety. The latter may bey a trifle cheaper if he ‘chooses, but he can ntain an excellent appearance by weari clothes which will cost him as follows: Aewed Seem preposterous, but they are the at which very yd oR % et ‘will last depends on ‘AMONG THE POLITICIANS. The Irish-American Protectionists—Goft Claims his Election as Governor of West Virginia, etc. A New York special to the Philadelphia Press says: “Levi P. Morton, the Vice-President-elect, has made up his mind to go to Indianapolis to visit Gen. Harrison. He will take Mrs. Morton and have a regular family visit with Gen. and Mrs. Harrison. Mr. Morton has intended ever since the time of the nomination to pay a visit west, but could not find time during the cam- paign. He will start some time within two weeks, and his visit will probably have the effect of delaying Gen. Harrison's trip east.” The Irish-Americais who supported Harrison and Morton held a jubilee meeting in New York last night, at which Patrick Ford presided, Gov. Alger, of Michigan, was the principal speaker. Gen. Harrison telegraphed: “Please return to my friends. the Irish-American pro- tectionists now assembled in Cooper Institute, my sincere thanks for their cordial congratula- tions, and much more for their noble contribu- tion to the victory which they celebrate to- night.” Mr. Blaine telegraphed from Augusta as follows: “‘The Irish-American protectionists were a very potential element in securing the slection of Harrison and Morton, sad they have aright to rejoice that the policy they favor has been so triumphantly vindicated and maintained. Gen. Goff. republican candidate for of West Virginia, has telegraphed the state committee that bis majority in McDowell coun- ty is 174 and in Wyoming 122. Gen. Goff also telegraphs to Etlitor C. B. Hart, of the Intelli- gencer, that he is electedgovernor. This is the first time he has made any claim, He says he will see that the will of the people is carried out. A meeting of citizens in Augusta, Ga., last night indorsed Henry W. Grady for the United States Senate against Senator Colquitt. The election comes off to-day, and the indications are that the vote will be very close. Grady's friends confidently expect his election. Senator Morgan, by invitation, addressed the Alabama legisiature yesterday. The election for Senator takes place on the 25th, and he will be re-elected without opposition. Mississippi (official) gives Cleveland 85,476 votes; Harrison, 30,096, and Fisk, 218, The Rockland county, N.¥., canvassers de- cided that the election for sheriff resulted in a tie. A new election is called for December 18. Ignatius Donnelly said in St. Paul yesterday: “I think I shall be elected to the United States Senate if there is not too much money used against me.” The New York Journal of Commerce, the or- gan of the business community of that city, and politically democratic, dec’ in anela- borate leader inst the proposed continu- ance of the tariff agitation, and urges the dem- cerats to join republicans in abolishing all in- al-revenue tax. = —eee—_____ Guided by Daniel Webster’s Spirit. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A funny story is told of one of the United States Senators, whether it can be verified or not. There certainly are two Senators who are believers in spirit communication. The one in question is said to attend a seance once a week during session, when he believes he is in com- munication with Daniel Webster. Upon all public questions he is decided by the great de- ceased statesman, and therefore believes he cannot go wrong.’ Mr. Webster's usual method of communicating his advice is to write through a medium on a slate. These slates are pre- served as sacred, and the advice is rigidly fol- lowed. Webster ought to have a wider range of influence, and take ina few Senators who always go wrong. The time may come when a Senate of distinguished, select and economical ghosts shail take control at Washington and send the corporeal Senators home, and not only save us a big bill of expense, but put an end to jobs and long sessions. Webster was a strong tariff man. vernor — Odd Photographs. HOW OPERATORS CAN MAKE CURIOUS RESULTS BY LITTLE TRICKS, From Photographic Review. There are various ways for providing sur- prising results in photography, things that in one age would have been called magic, but in ours recognized as scientific tricks. The ghost picture, for instance, in’ which a shadowy ghost—through which material objects are visible—is seen between natural attitudes and occupations. This is produced by an almost instantaneous exposure of the fi that is to do duty asthe ghost, followed by a full ex- posure of the figures and properties that are to appear natural. Another novel trick was shown recently in a hotograph reproduced by a prominent Trade journal, which presented the Photogra- pher seated at a table playing chess with him- self sitting on the opposite side of the table while he himself stood up in the background looking at his two selves playing. The figures were all on the negative, which was produced by three successive exposures of the plate, parts thereof being masked each time by a lack velvet shutter. Still another trick is that by which a person who likes that sort of thing may appear to be photographed riding upon a fiying goose, or a ish, or any other desired style of ridiculous locomotion. is done by the object hold- ing upon his lap a huge piece of white or sky- tinted card with the fanciful figure drawn upon it. His face appears above the upper edge of the card, and seems, in the picture, joined to the fanny little body mounted on the or fish. The statue picture is made by about the same device. RE es To Retaliate on Our Contractors. Ottawa Special to the New York World. There is much disappointment among Cana- dian contractors over the award by the Domin- ‘ion government of the Gallop Rapids contract, amounting to $800,000, and the Sault Ste. Marie canal contract, $1,250,000, to a syndicate com— posed largely of United States contractors. anadians are prohibited from bidding for any | government work in the United States, and itis said on good authority that a bill will be intro- duced in the next Dominion parliament to re- taliate by excluding American contractors from the construction of all government works in anada hereafter. ————ee______ The Unprofitable Retort. ‘From the Detroit Journal. “The republicans have gained the election, Elisha,” said Mrs. Greening, this morning, “and I think you ought to get an officee.

STORY OF A YOUNG RUSSIAN REFUGEE WHO BE- CAME A NIBILIST. Boston Special to the New York World. There recently arrived in Boston a young Russian refugee who, although but twenty Years old, has spent nearly two Years in the czar’s prisons, and escaped from his native land only by the narrowest chance. He was not a nibilist before his arrest, but six months’ con- finement in a room where he could neither stand up nor lie down has made him a most cordial hater of the czar’s government. This young Russian's visiting cardreads: “L. Efimor, student of R.C.L” But Mr. Efimor’s name is not Efimor.

Session Taken up with Expulsion Cases. at yesterday the morning ses- sion of the knights of labor general assembly was devoted to matters from the committee on ap- peals ind grievances, Wm.

A. from the decision board in expel him. e_ committee re- ported in favor of Bloomer. The report was rejected and the action of the board in expell- ing Bloomer sustained. AT THE AFTERNOON SESSION Mr. Powderly made a speech vigoroutly de- nouncing an article which appeared Saturday in the Chicago Knights of Labor. This was an attack on the general assembly, stating that Powderly is the ruling mind, that the conven- tion was packed in the interest of the general master workman, and that Powderly and Litch- man were afraid of publicity, and, therefore, both of them were ready to make peace and promptly did so at the first chance. - Mr. Powderly made a vigorous denial and de- nunciation of the whole matter, His speech was pointed and emphatic and was greeted with frequent and hearty applause. He has introduced and referred to a committee a reso- lution to the effect that whenever a member of the order shall, through the public press, make accusations of misdemeanor against members or officials of the order, without first having made and sustained those accusations before the proper court of the order, he Inys himself open to immediate expulsion by the general executive board without trial. Ex-secretary Litchman followed in hearty denunciation of the editorial. W. T. Lewis, the master workman of the Miners’ assembly, was equally prompt and emphatic in his re- marks ‘The stand taken by Mr. Lewis is re- arded as significant, and Powderly’s friends cope it means that the miners will not desert the order. THE CHURCH MERELY TOLERATES THE KNIGHTS. The Catholic News, of New York, publishes the text of the reply sent by Cardinal Simeoni, prefect of the propaganda, to Cardinal Gib- bons regarding the Knights of Labor. It is as follows: “It is my duty to inform your emin- ence that the fresh documents relative to the Knights of Labor, forwarded to his sacred con- gregation, were examined by it at the sitting of the 16th August. After having studied the subject, the sacred congregation has directed me to reply that, so far as at present appears, the association of the Knights of Labor can for the moment be tolerated. The sacred congre- gation merely requires that the necessary modifications should be introduced in the rules of the society to make clear whatever might seem obscure or might be interpreted in a bad sense. These modifications are required par- ticularly in passages of the preface to the rules concerning local associations. And then the words savoring of social- ism and communism must be corrected in such a way that they shall only affirm the right con- ferred by God on man of acquiring property, using legitimate means, and respecting the roportionate rights of allothers. I am most {shets to be able to inform your eminence that the sacred congregation has highly approved of the designs of the American heirarchy to see with us that in this, and similar associations, nothing should be secretly introduced which is contrary to justice and morals, or not entirely conformable to the regulations regarding the Masonic sect. 72 of Toledo, had of the executive a NOW KING OF THE DUDES. Successor of Berry Wall—Tomasso Luis Onativia His Name. From the New York Morning Journal. Evander Berry Wall, the king of the dudes, is no longer king. Tomasso Luis Onativia is the new king, and he is well suited for the posi- tion, considering that he is a nephew of the emperor of Brazil. Mr. Onativi collection of vari-colored waistcoats and striped trowsers the envy of the jeunesse dore of Gotham, while his stable of imported thoroughbreds and crack hunters is the talk of the town. This modern Beau Brummel has only turned twenty- one, and yet he is as blase in appearance as a man of fort; e. Whenever this jeune gallant drops his single-barreled glass he doesn’t bother to pick it up, but immediately replaces itby another. It is, no doubt, owing to this fad that he is reported to constantly have a dozen or more glasses about his person in case of emergency, although itis said that they have no magnifying qualities, being cut by the gross from plain window panes, Young Ona- tivia’s top hats are as bey as anew trade dollar, while his patent leather boots reflect the brilliancy of his sunny smile. His mackin- tosh, with wide flowin, eves, is indeed a thing of beauty, and his white melton top coat in simply superb, It is said that the dashin, Brazilian has over fifty pairs of trowsers an fully as many waistcoats, and his valet is re- sponsible for the statement that he has five trunks of new clothes on the way over from London. Onativia is accredited with spending some 000 ar on his own sweet self, in view of which it is only natural that he should like to change his trousers twelve times a day, in or- der to prevent them from getting out of style. His equipages are aa celebrated as his clothes. and this is not to be wondered at when it is known that he has acoach and four, a brough- am, a T-cart and a tilbury. He is also a famous rider, and is the proud owner of some of the finest thoroughbred hunters in the country. He is well dressed at all times, but it is in the evening that he looks his best.

His shapely hands are encased in white kid | ops with black stitche: id a boutonniere of ilies-of-the-valley nestles in the lapel of his coat. His trousers are invariably creased down the middle with care, and an opera hat crowns his classic head. With a glass stuck firmly in his off-hend eye, and “I’m-a-mon- arch-of-all-I-survey” expression in his right optic, he presents a tout ensemble thet the original Beau Brummel could not approach in hi pages day. Onativia first introduced the style of wearing a striped sash about the waist last summer, and it is no doubt due to his example that the ne of the noble four hun- dred followed suit, He has two very pretty sisters, and the Misses Onativia are justly celebrated for their great beauty and retiring manner. Miss Pauline Onativia is a stately brunette, while her sister, Georgina, who is to wed Mr. Townsend at an early date, is a typi- cal southern beauty, with lustrous eyes and » wealth of jet black hair. —— ‘20s. Handkerchiefs Spouted by the Geyser. From the Youth's Companion. ‘The soldier who does patrol duty about “Old Faithful” geyser, at the upper geyser basin of the Yellowstone Park, asserts that during one month in August of the present year he picked up pone handkerchiefs enough about the bowl of the geyser to last him a lifetime, and supply all his near relatives besides. More singular still, all these handkerchiefs came out of the geyser; half a dozen are sometimes thrown out at a single eruption of the hot water. They gush ip with the roaring foun- tain to a height of 150 feet in the air, and fall on the steaming rocks outside the bowl. It might be surmised, off hand, that the geyser was the outlet of some Ee Chinese laundi establishment on the ot! side of the world; but the more reasonable explanation rests on the observed Supe gress Mandkerahiots are urposely Op] in e geyser by fuarieieeacuty nas teed ie violation of the law, which forbids putting any foreign substance in the hot fountains. It is uite the custom to put handkerchiefs into Old Paitheul, for its waters contain some substance which acts like soap and cleans the worst soiled handkerchief. Then there is the fun of seeing it spouted out. It is usual to tie the handker- chiefs into kno! e better to insure their be- ing thrown out, but even then the geyser takes a tolls. Sometimes it keeps an entire batch, and it usually retains two out of every half dozen.

C., LIVE PEOPLE BURIED. The Awful Story of a Women’s Fate. From the Pall Mall Gazette. In Russia people are oftener than elsewhere condemned- , of course—to that most gruesome of all deaths, of which E. A. Poe had such unfeigned horror—burial alive. But the circumstances accompanying this frightful torture are seldom so characteristic or 80 horrible as in the case of the wife of a peas- ant in the government of Volhynia, on the borders of Austria, who, according to the local journal Volhynia, was lately buried in a coma- tose state. She was expecting soon to become a mother at the.time of her supposed death. After the “corpse” had been kept the usual time, the parish priest, Konstantinoff, recited the prayers of the burial service in the church- yard; the widower cast three handfuls of earth on the coffin, and all departed except the grave- diggers. In filling up the grave the latter shoveled in an unusually large. sod of hard earth, which struck the coffin with a loud noise, and woke up the unfortunate woman from her sleep. The horror of her position at once dawned upon her. She cried out in most jiteous tones to the gravo-digger to rescue her rom a horrible death. She solemnly promised them all her property if they would take her from the grave and coffin. e more she cried and entreated, the more strenuous, were their endeavors to fill the grave; and on leaving the churchyard, when their work was done, they still heard her cries and moans. The eS then hurried off to her husband who was surrounded with guests, drinking to the memory of the deceased. Hav- ing related what had taken place, the matter was discussed by the guests and the neighbors, who soon came rushing in, and it was finally resolved nem con. that an evil spirit had taken ssion of the deceased, and that, in order to prevent her walking at night, and disturb- ing the people, it was absolutely necessary to disinter her and drive an aspen stake through her body. The husband sent a deputation to the priest, asking permission to disinter the body and’ perform — this superstitious rite deemed necessary in all such cases. The priest, horrified, hurried off to the churchyard and had the body disinterred. in the hope of saving a life, but superstition had already got its victim—the woman was dead, but unmis- takable signs showed she had struggled hard to escape from the most horrible death the human mind can conceive. sess hair ny hn MO Fancies for Men of Fashion. LATEST NOVELTIES OF THE ARTISTIC DRESSERS. From the New York World. Black silk half hose with white soles is a favorite autumn dehign. Terra cotta and tan-brown shades lead all others in plain merino hosiery. Fob chains with full dress is quite the go. As little gold as possible, however, should be exposed, Ox-blood red is a stylish color in neckwear. Blue grounds with foulard figures are also in demand. The polka dot isn’t dead yet. It continues to hold its own in both neckwear and hand- kerchiefs. The fad, brought over from London, of wearing two scarf pins at the same time, has met with a cool reception in New York. Broadcloth, as a material for dress suits is going out of fashion. West-of-England cloth and finé imported diagonals have superseded it. ‘Tye satin vest is in the heyday of popu- larity. It is worn plain or figured, as fane suggests. Silk vests in various shades and col- ors are also popular. The introduction of the big puff scarf is wel- comed by the lover of jewelry, who can now wear pins of any magnitude or any degree of brilliancy without inviting criticism. The Inverness top coat is no longer consid- ered the | hae cévering for a full-dress suit. An English cape-ulster, with snug-fitting sleeves, is the correct article this winter. well dressers are affecting a fondness for shirts made coat fashion. These garments open all the way down in front qnd are held together by means of buttons or l8op hooks. Calf-skin boots are held by a few high-art dressers to be the correct accompaniment to a full-dress suit. ‘The majority, however, will cling to the conventional patent-leather gaiter, The cream-white mufiler of last winter will be retained for the coming season, although the popular verdict leans toward darker grounds. Light grounds, with tints or dark igures, are elegant also. A few daring dudes persist in wearing a silken sash in lieu of a vest on full-dress ocea- sions. Correct dressers eschew the practice, contending that it destroys simplicity, the very first effect to be sought in the wearing of even- ing costume. Young men are taking more kindly to the silk hat this season than for many seasons past. Fashionable hatters say the New York styles are referred to the London makes, even by pro- essed Anglomaniacs. The London fail silk hat is'too skimpy for most people. The Prince Albert frock coat is hard to down, but it is eschewed, as a rule, by stylish dressers, except by elderly men or by young men on extremely formal occasions. At day receptions of every character, as well as at yed- dings, funerals or for street wear, the three- button or four-button cutaway has the sanction of general adoption. It is the proper caper this season to tie one’s evening cravat, the made up bow being con- sidered too prim andconventional. The twice- around band of white lawn, fastened at the throat in the form of a neglige flat knot, is the Yogue among men of taste. To wear a satin tie with full dress is considered an unshrivable sin against dress etiquette. The growing popularity of embroidered and dotted pique bosoms in dress shirts is alarming the preceptors of fashion, especially those of the conservative school. These men hold that none other than plain linen bosoms should be worn. The gay men-about-town, almost without exception, are showing an aver- sion to the severe plainness of unadorned shirt fronts, They favor speckled effects even in preference to the embroidered designs. New York importers are making heavy raids on the English @d French markets for fancy flannels for shirtings. The flannel shirt which was so popular during the past summer has obtained such a firm hold upon the public favor that it will be introduced on a much larger scale next season, The most outre effects in stripes and checks will be the rule rather than the exception. Many of the linen-shirt manu- facturers have suffered greatly from the popu- Inrity of flannel shirts, and, a8 a matter of self- | reer are preparing to manufacture both ‘inds in future. saskeae eae ene The Wear and Tear. .

The suggestion that the railway carriages of the future should all be built on the American principle, of which the Pullman cars, as used in England, are an elegant and lnzurious type, is not by any means a novel one; but its ad- ‘vocacy is invariably met by the almost unan- swerable argument, first, that the construction of cars on the transatlantic plan would involve the abandonment of rolling stock worth many millions aa 5 mee next, by = less — argument that lish traveling community detaand a certain privacy which would be de- stroyed were passengers herded together in long cars with an aisle running at right an- gles to the lines of seats from one end of the train to the other. These objections have been met by the reminder that the existing rolling stock might be gradually and not vio- lently superseded by American cars, whereas, as @ matter of fact, the companics'are Duild- ing new carriages every month on the old and uncomfortable principle. Again, it may be pointed out, in so far as the vexed question of privacy is affected, that no such tight of se- gregation is recognized either in the vessels which cross the channel or on board the great ocean steamers. Why should squeamish trav- elers claim in a railway train that privacy which is not conceded to them on board ship, and which they cannot even have in a Pullman r, to which, in England at least, no ‘‘bou- oir” is attached? This demand for privacy we suspect is of a purely adventitious nature, and springs from the fact that the short- hted builders of the earliest railway trains constructed their carriages on the principle of s0 many mail coaches stuck together one be- hind the other. We hold that it would be practically impossible to give that lavatory ac- commodation which the poorest as well as the richest passengers are entitled to demand if we continue to construct trains on the pres- ent principle of rabbit-hutch compartments. If American cars for all classes are to be denied us, let there be a greater num- ber of saloon carriages. for all classes and all provided with the requisite accessories to comfort. The fastidious requirements of those who stickle for privacy in railway jour- neys might be met by the provision of are- stricted number of compartments on the old rabbit-hutch system, but with lavatories at- tached; and for the privilege of occupying such compartments the devotees of privacy should be made to pay an additional sum, just asthey pay additionally for a deck-cabin on beard ihe, Gbacuel teamer. Touching the rates of payment on the Paris and London route, it is a curious fact that the ordinary stagecoach, sailing packet, and diligence tariff, at the beginning of this century, although more than three days were consumed in the journey, was only about £1 more than the resent fare from Charing Cross to the Gare Ba Nord, in Paris. For £4, in the year 1803, assengers were conveyed from the Georgeand Bue Boar, Holborn,across the channel, and so to the Notre Dame des Vi coaches” set out every morning, not only from Holborn, but from the White Bear, Piccadilly, and from the Golden Cross, Charing Cross, Naturally there were other ways of reaching the gay city. The exclusive classes could ride in their own traveling carriages or hire post- chaises from London to Dover, at which sea- rtan entire packet could be hired for £15 For the vo: rage to Calais, and thence the wealthy traveler who disdained the diligence might en- ge w place in the “malle poste” or the “esta- Fetie™ for the ay city. There was plenty of time to eat, plenty of time to drink, to wash, and shave, and spruce oneself up, but there was nothing worthy of the name of speed. The present generation demands speed in trav- eling, and will have it, conte que conte, but the great problem to solve is how to combine Boslersicn of locomotion with the comforts imperatively demanded by civilization and by the laws of health.
