THINGS HEARD AND SEEN A young lady well known in official cir- cles, who spent the summer at a farm house in the Blue Ridge to recuperate her health, has returned with rather mixed opinions of southern hospitality. While ac- corded the most attentive kindness, there were some things that discouraged the ap- petite that country cooks and mountain air were supposed to create, such, for in- stance, as seeing some one in the family Tush out and wring the neck of a chicken, which in a half hour would be smoking on the table. Among the other rural pleasures she enjoyed was that of riding with the children in a_little wagon drawn by a pet white goat. Coming in one day from a long walk she was rejoiced with the unusual spectacle of a fine large roast upon the dinner table. As she took her seat the thought carelessly passed through her mind that she had never seen a roast with such an astonishing number of ribs, but without further refiection she fell _to and pro- ceeded to enjoy the meat. While she was in the midst of a second helping the chil- dren came in and as they took their seats the youngest girl, sadly eyeing the roast, exclaimed: “Oh, Miss Hatie, ain't it too bad; poor white Nannie kilt and cooked.” reer’ ee Ss Now that the Interior Department has been thoroughly fumigated tMere will be no harm in telling of an incident that oc- curred there before the scare. One of the old-time law clerks received from one of the common clerks an opinion on a certain case which It was the duty of the latter to present. The old lawyer did not like the style and sent it back, with this indorse- ment: “Please write this so that I can understand it.” He received it back in a short time with the followmg: “I am not paid to furnish you brains to understand what I-write.” If the language of the old clerk could have been repeated literally in all the rooms of the building there would have been no necessity of using sulphur for subsequent fumigations. The affair kicked up 2 mighty rumpus for a time, but was finally settled in favor of the young man who first wrote the opinion, though he was admonished that he must be careful in the future not to be so presumptive with one who had been in the department more than a quarter of a century and felt that he owned a portion of it. rae eae Col. Pearson of the tenth infantry dis- tinguished himself during the strike last summer in a way that does not appear on the records, but which helped to break the backbone of the strike on the Sante Fe system and open up that road. The account is by his friend, Gen. Armstrong of the In- dian office, who was traveling through that country at the time. Everybody at Raton, N. M., had struck, including the cooks and Waiters in the railroad restaurants. The bropsietor of tre restaurants ulong tne ine came through with a new force and open- ed them up. He was having the second day with the new force at Raton when Gen. Armstrong, with 500 or 600 mure pas- sengers, arrived. The proprietor came around to the general and said: “How are you making out?” “Very well, except we can’t get any bread.” “I know it, but the cooks have not been here jong enough to get started and we are short of bread.” “Isn't there any bread in town?” “Yes, but the baker has joined the strike a won't sell any.” Why don’t you ask Col. Pearson to help you out? You go over and tell him how you are fixed, and teil him I told you to see him about it.” The proprietor followed the advice. In a little while one soldier, with another as a guard, came to the hotel with all the bread he could carry. Col. Pearson sent for the baker, a fat German, and told him some- thing. “I am here,” ne said, “to open this road, and as long as you have got bread to sell and men have money to pay for it you have got to sell it. If you don’t I'll take asures to make you.” It was a taste of ny discipline that the baker had seen something of before he came to this coun- try, but he obeyed it to the letter, and there was no further bread strike in Raton. a Not long since a merry ship load of pas- sengers were sailing the Chesapeake, and late at night entered York river, where they beheld a sight that has sometimes been de- scribed, but which is not often witnessed. The broad mouth of that historic stream was illuminated by phosphorescent water. Wherever the water was disturbed, either by the wind or fish, it sparkled with fire, while the foam dashed aside by the vessel's cutwater was a blaze of silvery light. In color it was like an electric blue, and many persons insisted that the color came from an electric light cast on the foam from the ship, so unnatural did it seem, Capt. Frank Howes, who has sailed the waters of the Atlantic and the Chesapeake for thirty-four years, said that he had not seen an exhibi- tion like that in twenty years, and it was very uncommon in these waters. At the former time he had undertaken to solve the mystery and had dipped half a bucketful of water, which, when strained, left about a gill of transparent, jelly-like substance. This, when handled, gave forth the same phosphorescent light. It could not be said to have any life feeling, nor did a close ex- amination with the microscope reveal the character of it. Sailors say that the ap- pearance of this phenomenon is more fre- quent near the equator than in northern latitudes, 6 se 8 Washington Hesing, postmaster of Chica- go, recently made a speech to the employes of his office in which he presented the du- ties of public servants in a very forcible manner. He has since issued the speech in the form of a pamphlet, and sent it to his friends. They have all been interested in it, but more especially in the dedication, which fs as follows: “To Theodore Roosevelt, the distinguished citizen, the unselfish statesman, the true patriot, the man to whom more than to any one else is due the introduction of civil service methods in pub- lic office, this little pamphlet is most re- spectfvlly dedicated.” It is evident that Mr. Roosevelt stands way up in the list of Mr. Hesing’s heroes. . -s © « @ In one of the public buildings there is an elevator boy who does not waste words. For the past week he has been wearing on his arm a scrap of paper, which, as is seen upon closer examination, bears the words “Hands off." He is in line with his vac- ination, and does not intend to waste time telling everybody to let it alone. “sid Var ie Se Commissioner Lamoreux of the general land office, who has recently taken consider- able interest in the burned pine lands of the northwest, has had experience before in such matters. In 1871 and 1872 there were great forest fires in Wisconsin. Mr. Lamor- evx, then a young man, was a member of the legislature and chairman of the commit- tee on the burned district, upon which he made a comprehensive report, resulting in relief to the people. His o'der brother was also a member of the same legislature, and was responsible for the story growing out of the young man's efforts for the burned district. The sergeart-at-arms of the house having taken a severe cold, resorted to an alcohol bath for relief, but the aleohol took fire, and the officer was obliged for several days to take his meas from the niantel- piece. The elder Lamoreux got up a scries of resolutions expressing in feeling terms the sorrow of the House for the afflicted officer, and introduced them. He had no sooner done so than another old-timer, who was In the secret, moved immediately to re- fer the resolutions to the “committee on the burned district,” which was carried with the opposition only of the future com- missioner of the general land office, amid the howls of the balance of the legislative badgers. oe ee, On an avenue car the other evening a young man, with a young lady, was going to the theater. He wanted to buy some tickets, but dropped the quarter, which he was about to hand to the conductor. It could not be readily found, and he told the conductor, who was making a most vigor- ous search, that it was his own fault, a handed him another quarter. The couple got off at the National, but the car had not gone half a square before the conductor moved rapidly along the side of the car to the seat just vacated, and, stooping down, picked up the money without the least hesitation. He looked around, and saw a man who had attempted to assist in the search eyeing him. He was confused for a moment, but he went back to his place on the car without saying anything. The other passengers who saw the incident be- lieve he moved the quarter out of sight, and waited until the loser got off to put it in es own pocket, considering ft a little rake- hea $e eee “There seems to be always a clash in American cities where there are several street railways over the subject of trans- fers from one road to the other,” said Mr. Edward W.Creecy to a party of railroad men the other day. “It has always seemed to me that it would be a good idea to adopt the system followed by so many street railway companies in England, where a passenger is charged fare proportionately for the dis- tance he is carried. Such a plan would do away with the necessity of trarfsfers. If the English scheme was in operation on the Metropolitan road here, for instance, the schedule of charges would be regulated by sections of the route traversed. For in- siance, although this is merely a rough il- lustration for the purpose of conveying scme meaning of the way the English do it, a man starting from Georgetown would be charged one cent to the P street bridge, two cents to 17th and H, three cents to 9th and F, four cents to the Baltimore and Ohio depot and five cents to the end of the route. A passenger getting on a car between any of the points mentioned would be charged one cent for riding to the terminus of tat section and one cent for each succeeding one. The income of the roads would be vastly increased also by the additional traf- fie. Few busy people would walk half a dozen squares when they could be quickly carried the distance for a cent, whereas they wouldn't think of paying a nickel for such service. I have been told that the English roads which follow the system I have indicated find the largest portion of their receipts in the returns from the half penny and penny fares.” —_——-——— WHEN COMES INDIAN SUMMER? Some Time Between Michnelmas w Christmas, Perhaps. From the Detroit Free Press. There is a great difference of opinion among those who are wise in weather lore as to the exact time when Indian summer makes its appearance, some weather proph- ets declaring that it includes every warm day between Michaelmas day (the 29th of September) and Christmas, while others lo- cate it in the month of October. Indeed, the opinions of scientists do not agree any better than those of ordinary individuals, but seem to be as hazy as the season itself. After looking up much scientific data on the subject and making a consensus of popu- lar opinion the fact seems established that this phenomenon of seasons really belongs to the month of November, although the signal service notes say that if Indian sum- mer does not come in October or November it will come in winter, as if it were a sort of movable season. Neither do scientists agree as to the cause of that hazy atmos- phere which accompanies the season, @ con- dition peculiar to North America. It was attributed by early settlers in this country to the smoke from prairie fires kindled by the Indians—hence the name, “Indian sum- mer.” But it is now said by scientific in- vestigators that the appearance of smoke is an optical illusion produced by a peculiar condition of the air, which might be com- pared to a dry fog. Sentimentalists declare that it is this dreamy haze which gives its great charm to this short, delightful season, when the whole world of nature appears like a beautiful dream. It is the fifth season— the mellow ripeness of autumn—when crea- tion stands still in a lazy, languorous mood, und the picture is vanishing and indistinct, like one of Corot'’s landscapes. It is the golden sunset of the year, brief and evanes- cent. Like a mirage, the Indian summer does not wait to be investigated. It is here—it is gone—before the would-be investigator was aware of its presence. It is such a restful, happy period that people are con- tent to enjoy it without asking questions, yet there is much in its phenomena that is worth the most careful scientific investig: tion. It has been suggested that the dreamy haze which accompanies the season is com- posed of animal life of such minute form as to be incapable of microscopic examination, but of such innumerable quantities that they obscure the atmosphere and redden the sun. It 1s also charged to vegetable matter; but these are mere theories which have not yet been proven. So far, no un- healthful influences have been evoked nor any fashionable malady produced to shake our confiderce in the chance season, which, for aught we know, may be a celestial estray, giving us a foretaste of a more de- lightful climate. Another token by which this genial Indian summer makes Itself Known is the absolute silence of nature herself, as if she were taking a vacation from winds that blow and clouds that shade. There is such a stiliners in the air from sunrise to sunset that sound itself seems to have gone asleep. But there is go loneliness in the silence, it is only as if everything were resting, bathed in the happy sunshine. The flowers are gone, the singing birds have flown to their southern climes, the leaves have dropped from the trees when the In- dian summer comes trailing her white veil to cover the desolation, and filling all hearts with the tranquillity of her gra- cious presence. There is a tonic in the air she brings which chemists cannot bottle ror charge commercial rates for—whiffs of summers that have been, contracted into a few days, and gone before we can analyze them to say, “this is balsam, or that is balm.” It is a draught for the gods. The subject of Indian summer was in- vestigated as long ago as 1835, when Dr. Lyman Foot of the United States army in his report says that the Indians gave the season its name by calling it their “fall summer,” which occurred in November. The doctor was stationed at Fort Winneba- go, Missouri territory, at the time, and wrote from observation. He says: “We arrived at this post the 3d day of last November. We had three weeks of Indian summer, with all the peculiar red- ness of the sky in great perfection.” He adds that he had long observed the season with curious attention, and calls for an expression of opinion on the subject from other observers. Prof. Willet advanced the theory in a re- port made to the government in 1867 that the dry fog is real smoke, not produced by pratrie fires, but the product of chimneys. ‘The late Prof. Henry of the Smithsonian In- stitution reported that a portion of the haze, filtered, was found to contain the lava of volcanoes and fragments of burned vege- tables. Neither of these distinguished scientists added anything to the literature of our Indian summer; so when doctors dis- agree it is not expected that ordinary ob- servers will be able to formulate any ten- able theory of its cause. The next best thing is to enjoy its opportunities, leaving its origin to the unknown source whence it is derived. New England ts especially favored by this after-summer guest. In that land of rocks and rills the stillness of the occasion is more delicious, the haze more poetic, and the winds more languorous in their passive acquiesence in this meditative mood of nature. Emerson must have written of this period: “"Twas one of the charmed days When the gentus of God doth flow, The wind may alter twenty way! A tempest cannot blow. It may blow north, it still is warm, Or south, it still is clear, Or east, it ‘smells like a clover farm, Or west, no thunder fear.” Hawthorn? in speaking of this period sald: “A glorious day—bright, warm, yet with an unspeakable gentleness both in its warmth and brightness. On such days it is impossible not co love nature, for she evi- dently loves us. At other seasons she does not give this impression, but In these happy autumnal days, when she has perfected the harvests, life overflows with a blessed su- perfluity of love.” The caprice of the season is to wait until winter is almost upon us, then to drop un- expectedly like a benediction with sunshine and warmth, and a restfulness that soothes and comforts her fractious children, and whisper to them sweet promises of heaven- ly death, 202 An Ancient Novel. From the Contemporary Review. One of the most ancient examples of fic- tion In the world, one which has survived the rise and fall of many an ancient and many a modern empire, is the Egyptian romance entitled, “The Tale of Two Broth- ers.” We have the original manuscript in the British museum. It is written on nine- teen sheets of papyrus, in a fine hieratic hand, and it was penned some 3,200 years ago by a Theban scribe named Enni This Ennana was a librarian of the palace to King Merenptah, the supposed Pharoah of the Exodus; and he appears to have writ- ten the tale by order of the treasurer, for the entertainment of the crown prince, Set!- Merenptah, who subsequently reigned as Seti II. This prince has signed his name in two places on the back of the manus these being probably the only autog: signatures of any Egyptian king which have come down to our time. This most venera- ble and precious document was purchased in Italy by Mme. d’Orbiney, who sold it in 1857 to the authorities of the British museum, and it is now known as the d’Or- biney Papyrus. IN HOTEL CORRIDORS George Walsh, one of the best-known pilots on the Pacific coast, has been in the city for several days. He talked modestly, but interestingly, yesterday at the St. James about his experience in his calling. “I suppose the best pilots are those who are born into the business,” said Mr.Walsh, ‘but I never saw salt water until I was twenty years old, and then it was as a passenger. I went around to California by the isthmus route. It needs nerve and de- cision to be a successful pilot. Sometimes you will get hold of a ship whose skipper is doubtful of your ability to handle it, and then you have a mean experience. He is everlastingly bothering you with questions and suggestions, until it's a wonder you don’t lose your head altogether, A pilot who knows his business should be as fa- tailiar with the reefs, shoals, rocks, cur- rents and air currents in the harbor into which he is bringing a boat a8 a preacher is with the Bible, and ought to study them Just a3 hard and steadily. It is a danger- ous and responsible calling, but then It's well paid, and that makes up for the bur- dens of the life. On the Pacitic a pilot gets $5 a foot on the draught of a ship, and 4 cents a ton. For instance, a 1,500-ton boat, drawing ten feet of water, would pay & pilot $110 for brij pllot $110 inging her from the outside A party of the wags who are always hanging around the National Hotel held up old Carter Bowie, the colored man who has sold raw oysters from the can for seasons innumerable, on 6th street yesterday, and after chatting bim for awhile on various questions, touched him in a tender spot by asking him what kind of weather Wash- ington was going to have this winter. “Tell yer, honey, yer bettah git yer coal in putty soon, kase days mitely squally times ahead,” said Carter. “De ducks ain’ nebber had ez much down onter day bresses ez day is dis fall since I kin ‘member, Hit’s dat thick dat yer cyahnt see de meat thrr hit nohow.

When playing faro he always did, end does yet, bet as much on the turn of a card as the dealer will allow him to, and when he sits in a poker game the other people want to keep their eyes wide open and play their carts mighty close up to their chests. Wolcott once found himself in a game of poker where three of the other players were playing a sure game. They were professionals, and were after a big bundle of money that he had in his posession, as well as looking for that which the fifth player, a mining operator named Durkin, was known to have. Wolcott knew in twenty minutes after the first hand was dealt that the intention was to rob him and wearied ius wits trying to find a way to get out of the game without making trouble, but he couldn't discover a means to save him. At last he was dealt a pat flush of diamonds, made up of the 5, 7, 8, ¥ and jack, He skinned those cards over and did a mighty piece of thinking. He felt in his bones that a flush would be no account in the world when it came to a show down, but he chipped In and stayed to draw cards. To his surprise he wasn’t raised before the draw. He looked over his bright red dia- monds again and concluded to draw a card, in order, if possible, to straighten the se- quence. He pondered a long time betwee: discarding the five spot or the picture, an at last tossed away the jack and called for a card. The dealer looked surprised at his wanting any, but gave him the card. Wol- ectt picked it up and found he had gotten the six spot of diamonds. He never turned a hair. The betting began, and he nursed his sequence of diamonds, and just stayed along, letting the other fellows do the rais- ing. At last it got down to Wolcott and one of the professionals. Finally there waa a call, and the other man showed four queens. Wolcott laid down the 3, 6, 7, & and 9 of diamonds and swept in the pot. The game stopped right there. I reckon that was the greatest piece of luck that any man ever had in a poker game.” When .Mr. Watson had concluded his in- teresting recital and the wonderful draw had been expatiated upon, another one of the coterie remarked that he reckoned it was his deal. “This is a story of luck, too,” he remarked, “but of a different character from that experienced by Senator Wolcott. A friend of mine who lives out in Maryland was playing in a little poker game not long ago. The paraphernalia of the game primitive, consisting of a single, well- thumbed deck of steamboat cards, with grains of corn for chips. My friend was followed by a regular tempest of bad luck, and pretty soon he had put up his last cent and his corn was down to a very few grains, He agitated his mind for a minute or two and then suddenly announced that he had forgotten to give his horse water and would have to do it. He went out of the house and, being familiar with the premises, made his way to the corn house, and, putting in his hand in the dark, got an ear of corn and put it in his pocket. Then he went to the stable, after making a big noise at the pump to let the fellows in- side believe he was molstening his animal, and returned in a few minutes to the house. He sat down and proceeded to pull out the ‘chips’ he had placed in his pocket when he left, and which he had substantially added to meantime. You can imagine his con- sternation when he found that he drew forth his original dozen white ‘chips,’ with twice that many red. He had managed to find in the dark the only red ear in the corn house.” “I'l make a personal confession after that,” said Henry Miller, when the laugh subsided. “Some years ago I was prone now and then to indulge in the delights of draw, and there was a friend living near me, over in Georgetown, afflicted with in- termittent insanity of the same sort that visited him at intervals coincident with my own, Consequently we usually hunted thi animal together. One night we came ove! this side of the creek together and proceed- ed to a place on 9th street, where a publio game, with table stakes, was pretty popu- lar. ‘Along about 11 o'clock we both got broke and concluded to go home. The night had grown stormy and it was sleeting like sin when we left the ‘club,’ as it was called. A search revealed that we had but one car ticket between us. The bobtall cars, with- out a conductor, were then used on the Met- ropolitan line, and we conceived the highly original idea of splitting that ticket in half and dropping the two pieces in the box. We boarded the last car over and carried out our scheme. You may knock me down if both pieces didn’t fall in the box white side up. e driver glanced at them and then started to open the door, but we both made a break and got off the car. I made ip my mind there that my luck was too utterly bad for a poker player and, walking home through that blizzard, I determined to try no more poker, and I haven't touched a card in a money game since.” pccantens eae, Bob Fitzsimmons was arrested Saturday in New York, on the complaint of his di- vorced wife, and had to give bail.
