The Cost or High Speed. Some experiments have been made lately upon the Bound Brook Route to asoertain the difference in the oocsump tion of ooai between an express train running on schedule time and the same train run at a very low speed, but oth erwise under the same conditions, the same five cars and precisely similai engines being used. The trains ran in each case from Philadelphia to Bound Brook and back, a distance of 11S miles. The slow trip was made in S hours 23 minutes, 4,420 pounds of coal being oonsumed. The train stopped al the same places as the regular express train, the only unusual feature of the trip being tbe funeral pace, averaging a little over 12J miles an hour. When running on schedule time the consump tion was 6,725 pounds, agreeing close ly with the usual consumption on this route with the regular five-car express trains. The saving effectod in coal by running the train at a very slow pace was 2,305 pounds. The percentage oi saving may be expressed in two ways: as compared with the consumption at the normal express speed, the slow speed shows a saving of 34.2 per cent., while the consumption at the high speed shows an increase over that al the low speed of 52.1 per cent. These figures show that high speed is not so expensive as is generally im agined. The speed of 12.5 miles an hour for a through passenger train making few stops is, of course, imprac ticable, for various reasons. Probably the difference in coal consumption be tween the lowest speed practically possible under ordinary conditions and a high express speed is even smaller than the figures given, which represenl a lower speed than is ever attained on an ordinary railroad. High speed to a certain extent di minishes both the number of men and amount of rolling stock necessary to carry a given traffic; and this saving must be set against the Increase in coal consumption and wear and tear. In the case under notice, at a slow speed, the run of 119 miles would make a fair day’s work for both trainmen and train; whereas, at the normal ■peed, allowing for the necessary delay at stations, switching, turning and loading engine, etc., quite double the mileage might be made in a day. As enginemen are ordinarily paid by the trip, this would not reduce their wages unless some change were made in the practice, but probably some change would be made if runs which now re quire six or seven hours were reduced to four or five. Double the amount of rolling stock being required, the round houses, etc., must be larger and the sidings in which to store tne cars must be longer. The interest on the addi tional rolling stock and plant would thus amount to quite a large figure. In some eases the slower train might actually be the more expensive to run, leaving on one side all questions as to the convenience of rapid traveling and its effect in increasing the volumo of travel. On the whole, the result of these experiments seems to be strongly In favor of high speeds for both passen ger and freight trains.-— Railroad da le tte. London Stage Struck. 1 London society is, in a sense, stage ■truck. It takes the same sort of in terest in associating with the ornaments of the stage as boys feel in making the acquaintance of ballet dancers. There is a certain prurient prudishness, a salacious inquisitiveness about London society. It loves to hover over, or alight on, the borderland which sepa rates conventional respectability from downright dissoluteness. There is nothing which it so dearly loves as a soupcon of naughtiness. I never see that well-known picture of two young ladies peering into a volume whiich they have taken down from a shelf in the paternal library— “Forbidden Fruit/’ I think it is called—and read- i ing in it things which make them al ternately smile and blush, without rec ognizing the pictorial symbol, the en graved allegory, of London society. What, to it, is the mystery of holiness in comparison with the mystery of sin? Who would not sooner contemplate the lives of the sinners than the lives of the saints? London society is infinite ly charitable, because its curiosity knows no bounds. One of the reasons why it welcomes actresses is that it surrounds them, rightly or wrongly, with a halo of antecedents and envi ronment which leave much to the im agination.— Society in London.—By a Foreign Resident. Greeley and the Mediums. In the ante-telegraph days Hon. Horace Greeley, whose handwriting was atrociously bad, wrote to a country •orrespondent* in relation to a lecture engagement: “Will be with you on Tuesday—or, if I can’t, will rap." Such, at least, was presumed to be the tenor of the communication. At this day the “autograph," preserved as a curiosity, may be read in that way, as well as in any other. The “rap" hard ly needs explanation, but there may be here and there a person who does ■ot understand that “raps" were once on a time the only received method by which the disembodiod “spirits" com municated with the living. Perhaps Mr. Greeley thought, or pretended to think, that he could induce some of those imponderables to throw their mysterious weight into the business. Ha did not in this instance try. In deed the famous “founder" of The Tribune, himself eminently a practical man, found the “spirits” impractica ble for any sensible purpose. Always ready to listen to anybody or to test any new proposition, Mr. Greeley hav tag attended a “seance" offered a handsome engagement to the “me dium." “If," he said, “you will give me, dally, the London Mark Lane re ports, I will pay for tbe exclusive in telligence such a price as will make it worth your while. ” Tbe reports were ■ol to be paid for until verified by tbe then slowly transmitted foreign mail. The "medium" declined the offer, and Mr. Greeley turned away from him and called “next" on the roll of eccen tric matters in which he loved to ex periment S ‘v At the Nob Hill residence of Sen- Mpr Stanford, in San Francisco, are ffftben pictures of his dead boy, eight of wMcfa are by Bonnot, of Paris, and twice Toe size. The portraits cost (30,- A Famous Duel. “An event which excited national interest was Senator Gwin’s duel with Congressman Joe McCorkle. McCorkle represented a California district and fell deeply in love at Washington with a Tennessee girl, but if she had any affection for him it was alienated by Mrs. Gwin, who was a beautiful and accomplished woman, and a superb diplomats. McCorkle’s animosity was aroused against Gwin in consequence, and the feeling between the two Cali fornia representatives was so intense that the Washington papers at the time published a great deal about the affair. There was then only oue ship a month to the Pacific slope, and Gwin and McCorkle, although so hostile, went out home together. On board their relations were very stiff and stilted. “When the ship touched at Santiago I went aboard and accompanied them to San Francisco. 1 was a friend of both men, and endeavored to bring about a reconciliation between them, but as soon as we lauded at San Fran cisco McCorkle challenged Gwin to a duel, and Gwin accepted. “I called on Gwin the day after the challenge, and he, having heard that I had agreed to second McCorkle, ex claimed: “My God! major, are you, my old friend, going to turn against me?" 1 assured him that 1 would take no part in the affair. The sheriff', how ever, interfered and prevented the duel at San Francisco. Finding they could not meet for the purpose there they decided to go to Monterey and have the duel at a place about fifteen miles out from the town. “All the preliminaries being arrang ed for a week prior to the time of the encounter, each of the principals prac ticed assiduously with the rifle, and there were a number of spectators of tbe practice shooting. Each man, too, had his friends among the witnesses of the other’s practice, and thus got ideas of his opponent’s skill. Their shoot ing in these rehearsals was magnifi cent, and everyone thought that one or both of them would surely fall in the actual encounter. “On the appointed day Gwin and McCorkle, accompanied by their sec onds and friends, repaired to tbe se lected spot, and the dreaded duel was fought. They were fifty or sixty yards apart, and blazed away with rifles. They tore each other’s clothes, but af ter tiring seven shots had drawn no blood. This did not satisty them, and they called fornioreamruunition. Then a discovery was made. The ammuni tion had been exhausted, and they were fifteen miles from Monterey, and about one thousand miles from any where else. It was plain that the duel was over for that day. In great dis gust, but still as venomous as ever, the parties departed lor ban F'rancisco. The differences between McCorkle and Gwin were afterward adjusted. This bloodless duel became historical, and is one of tbe most famous in dueling annals. “Gwin soon left California, and I never saw him afterward.” Roast Pig. Says the Atlanta, Ga., Constitution: At a dinner the other night, after the trash had been disposed of, two roast pigs, each with an apple in his mouth, were brought in and set in front of the host and hostess. 1 had not seen such a thing in years, but it was a savory re minder of many a lavish board under which my youthful legs had twined about each other other in ecstasy. The late Senator Hill loved nothing so well as a plate of chitterlings. I have seen Governor Hcrschel V. Johnson eat a pig’s car with infinite relish. What were Governor Brown’s collards (I re fuse to spell it coleworts) to that great and good man if underlying historic love for this fine esculent there was not an unconfessed love for hog’s jowl? Governor Stephens dotes on broiled ham, and the nearest to death General Toombs ever came was front indiges tion caused by over-eating of head cheese; so that a little more nog’s head might have prevented secession. More than one historian holds that Lee’s army was never whipped until the bacon had given out and it had to fall back on beef. A Timid People. The Anamese are constitutionally timid, and are pliant to the ruling power. They are deferential to the Chinese, whom they regard as their su periors, and servile toward the tong due and the I'rench. They close their houses at dark, exclude every stran ger, and often run away, even in the daytime, if anyone presses for admit tance. When they meet a Frenchman or any foreigner in the streets of the garrisoned towns, the huge hat in stinctively slides off on one side or the other, and is so kept till the stranger has passed. Every child says “Bung joor” to the passing foreigner. Per haps the F'rench are as patient with these simple, helpless, but not unintel lectual people as any other Europcau nation would be. They are slow, in dolent, and physically weak, and it is hard for the man who has them in his employ to avoid stimulating them by some mild chastisement. Besides they lie, cheat, and steal with a facility un usual in the Orient, where such vices are common. The soldier in charge of squads of coolies on the battle-field urges them to duty with a stout sap ling. The overseer on the public works addresses them as “pigs,” “animals,” and with other terms of sarcastic en dearment, of which there Is no poverty in tbe F'rench vocabulary of contempt. But the mild chastisement inflicted by tbe more humane and reasonable of the cqlonlsts is not always imitated by the sailors, the convicts, or other of the trading class who find it necessary to employ Anamese servants. Death sometimes results from the abusive manner in which they treat their em ployes, and it is said that these things occur withont their being called to ao count by tho civil authorities. One keeper of a shop and wine-house, I was credibly informed, had killed four and had remained unpunished, either through the ignorance or Inaction ot the authorities.— Cor. Bun Francisco Chronicle.

Some of tho Beauties who Have OraeoS this Summer's Fashionable Keeorts. Miss Winthrop, for whom Mrs. Cush ing gave the grand ball at Newport, is the greatest beauty and heiress in Boston. Her anoeetors on one side were Puritans and on the other Knick erbockers. Miss Kathbone, of Albany, N. Y., who has been greatly admired at Bar Harbor this season, was an attraction of the Assembly balls in Philadelphia last winter. She is a fine-looking blonde of splendid physique, and would easily be taken for an English gink She is rich. Miss Yulee, of Florida, the great beauty of the South, who has been so much noticed at Sharon, Atlantio City, Bryn Mawr, and other resorts, is a deep brunette, with exquisite features, large dark eyes, and a wealth of very black hair, which she combs straight back. Her beauty lies almost exclu sively in her face. Miss Ely, a niece of ex-Mayor Ely, of New York, who was considered the prettiest girl at the Monmouth House. Spring Lake, is a blonde, with a stronger face than blondes usually have. Miss Nichols, daughter of the chief engineer of the Philadelphia and Read ing Railroad, who attracted much notice at the Howland House, Long Branch, this summer, is a blonde with a very sweet expression and charming manners. Miss Dana, of Philadelphia, was one of the belles at Monnt Desert She was educated abroad and spent several years in F’rance, where she acquired very fascinating manners. She is musical and plays on several instru ments. Miss Fannie Etting, of Philadelphia, was one of the season’s beauties at Narragansett Pier. She is petite and vivacious. Miss Bessie Ellison was the prettiest girl of the summer at Sea Girt. She is the daughter oi a Philadelphia mer chant, and is a brunette with sweet dark gray eyes and brown hair. Miss Eccleston, a daughter of the Rev. Dr. Eccleston, formerly of Phila delphia, is the reigning beauty at Fort ress Monroe, where she is visiting her sister, Mrs. Blunt Miss Marion Langdon, the great New York beauty, is a brunette with lovely large dark eyes. She is said to be worth a million in her own right. Miss Rita Dixon, of Philadelphia, was generally considered one of the most beautiful brunettes at Bar Harbo this season. Miss Susie Tilgbman is by many ot her own sex considered oue of the ver< prettiest bloudes in the fashionable society of Philadelphia. Miss May C’ookman, daughter of the late Rev. Alfred Cookman, has for two or three summers been considered tho prettiest girl at Ucean Grove. She has dark hair and large gray eyes. Miss Schermerborn, of New York, who was one of the beauties at New London, is a very dark brunette with long, sweeping lashes. One of her fancies in dress is wearing a tiny watcl outside her coat, fastened near the shoulder with a little diamond pin. Mrs. Capel, who was at Cape May, is a beauty with a fine figure, striking features and gray eyes. She is the wife of the brother of Mgr. Capel. She i» very icstbetic in dress. Miss Anabel Green, daughter ol Judge Green of New York, is a very beautiful girl, with a spirituelle face and large gray eyes. She speul most of the season at Berkeley, N. J. Mrs. William Astor, the society queen of Newport, is a brunette, with large dark eyes that have been com pared to Rachel’s. Mrs. Van Bibber, of Baltimore, who was noticed as a beauty at the several fashionable water places she visited, is a demi-blonde, with large, dark, changing gray eyes, capable of great expression. Mrs. Frank Lippincott, of Philadel phia, whose beauty was much noticed at Saratoga, is a Spanish ladv, very dark, with a rich color, and coal black eyes. She was Miss De Roig before marriage. Miss F’itler, of Philadelphia, has been included this season in the list of beau ties. She has an exquisite complexion, and a great deal of expression. Mrs. Helyer, the English beauty, who has attracted so much attention al Newport and other watering places, has very delicate coloring, and great expression. Her mouth is rather large, but all her features are good. She is considered prettier than Langtry. A New One. Mrs. Parvenu was intently studying an Egyptian war-map. “Ah, my dear madam,” inquired a gentleman, “are you posting yourself in Egypt?” “No, not exactly. I thought I was already quite cognizant ot the typogra phy of the country, but I find lam ■lightly sufficient on one point, at least." “What is it, if I may ask?” “Why, 1 have just read that the En glish have reached an Ultimatum in the land of the Polygamies, and I don’t see it on this map. 1 knew about the Beersbeba, Suakim. Gondola, and the other places, but Ultimatum is a new one. Please see if you can find it for me. 1 do so hate to be ignorant on current tropics, you know.” The gentleman took the map and looked for a few minutes, but gave it up finally, and told her he thought the map was defective. —Merchant Traveler. The Misrepresented Mole. Who is there among dwellers in the country who has not seen dead moles hanging on sticks in the fields, or has not beard of farmers paying monev for their capture? A correepondent. how ever, suggests that farmers may have lieen maxing a serious and cruel mis take. “I have had," he says, “a field of wheat full of moles all the Year with out doing it the least possible injury; but, on the contrary, I verily believe that up to harvest they did my crop good. Again, it is said moles eat seed corn, but this ts a great mistake, for I hare examined the stomachs of scores, but never found a single grain of core in one of them. 1 believe 60,000 bush els of seed corn are annually destroyed by wire-worms.” Tbe mole, of course, is a great enemy of this subterranean p€il How to'fltop the Skating-Rinks. ’ Mr. Stetson, the New York theatri cal manager, has made up his mind that the skating-rinks are Injuring his business, and is planning ways to rem edy the trouble. After a terrific effort of intelligence, and a certain amount of conversation and refreshment at Delmonioo’s, Mr. Stetson has come to the conclusion that skating is immoral “It must be immoral” says Mr. Stetson, “it interferes with my busi ness. Don't you think it is immoral, Mr. Thorne?" “Os course," answered the Rev. Mr. Thorne; “don’t it take a lot of custom awav from me, too?” “I’ll give (3,000 towards crippling the rinks," savs Mr. Stetson. "I’ll give (500," says Mr. Thorne; “but how are you going to manage it?" "Easy enough,’” says Mr. Stetson. “We’ll have a law passed prohibiting the opposite sexes from skating in the same rink at the same time. It’s just as good exercise to skate without a lady as with one." "Yes; but it isn't as much fun.” says Mr. Thome. “How’ll you make ’em see it?" "Why," replies Mr. Stetson, “if the rink-keepers object to the arrange ment, we'll say that it’s because they depend upon the easy associations and flirtations of both sexes for their pat ronage, and then they'll have to keep 8 till." "Quite right,” assents the Rev. Mr. Thorne, "quite right. We'll act in tho cause of morality." In such a spirit of lofty philanthropy arc great moral reforms instituted. Uncle Sam's Contracts. “The Treasury is very close in its enforcements of its contracts,” said a leadiug official of that department to me yesterday. "In buying our car pets we stipulate as to exact weight of the wool and thd number of threads contained in it A square foot of car pet is cut out of each piece. This is taken apart picked to pieces as it were, the wool weighed, and the threads counted. If a roll varies by the fraction of an ounce from the con tract we reject it. The Treasury here, you know, buys furniture for the differ ent post-offices over the country. To illustrate how closely it maxes its pur chases. I will take the case of the Cin cinnati Post-Office, which we are now furnishing. We contracted with a firm at Grand Rapids to tit out the building. The price was $30,000, and every part of the furniture was stipulated for in the contract. We sent an inspector, as is our custom, to Grand Rapids to look after the making of the furniture and see that it was done accordiug to contract, lie found fault with some things, and the manufacturers changed these. Another inspector was sent to Cincinnati to see that the furnituro was according to contract before it would be paid for. By boring holes through the furniture he found that some parts were of cheaper material thau had been agreed upon. He found also that in the desks wrought-brass hinges had been used instead of cast brass. The wrought brass was about 10 per cent cheaper than the cast brass. He found also that the drawers were machine-dovetailed instead of hand dovetailed, aud for these reasons he refused to accept tbe goods. Some of the furniture was, however, all right. The department accepted this, and took the other ala discount of 20 per cent on condition that the hinges should be changed. "It’s a cold day," concluded this official, "when Uncle Siam lets any one make any money out of his contracts."— Washington Letter to Vie eetaiuL Leader. A Historic Tramp. If any traveling show company has lost a Richard lIL it would be well to look for him in this city. He is here. He is at present playing the great role of tramp. Walking into tho Bee Line Ticket Office, this morniug, with man ly stride, appropriately hunched as to his back, he “trod the boards” of the office saying: "Now is the winter ot our discontent made glorious summer by—the pros pect of a free ride over your road. By the way. mister, I was just now pass ing a criticism upon the hand-painted interior of your temple of justice—l was particularly interested in the may or's court —when hixzoner introduced himself to me and spoke at length upon the excellence of the railroad facilities of this town. He told me that by tak ing the first train over your road I could distance the police force. I came in such a hurry, fpr fear of missing the express, that he forgot to hand me a pass. But you can just make out a free ticket. 1 only want to go as far as Utah. The only three wives I ever had live there, and in the pursuit of histri onic fame I have been separated from them for years." He was a greasy, grizzly, fat young tramp, with enough red baironhisfaco to stuff a mattress, and enough brains and information in his head to have cracked that organ open, had it not been unusually capacious.

I witnessed a mean trick one night last week. I was returning home at 1 a. m. from a prayer-meeting in Brook lyn. There was a Brooklyn newspa per man with me. We were passing through a very quiet dark street, with rows of stately brick houses on either side of the way. You couldn’t tell one from the other. They were identical in their outward looks, and there were no numbers visible. “Ah,” said my journalistic friend, “this is Judge Jones’ club night.” “Why do you make that unprovoked assertion?” I inquired. “Because lie lives in this row and I see his sign out.” “His sign? What do you mean?” “]<ook at the gate under the stoop of this house. You remark a flutter ing scrap of linen tied to the bars? Well, that’s put there by the servant that the Judge may identify his own house when he returns home in the small hours loaded to the muzzle." “That’s an infallible scheme,” said I in enthusiastic admiration of this de vice. "Infallible?” repeated the waggish Brooklyn journalist. “Don’t be so sure of that. Wait till the thing has stood the test of time." • And with that he deliberately untied the linen signal and, walking two doors down, tied it to the area gate of an other bouse. “What did you do that for?” I asked, as be hurried me away. "To convince some people that they are not as smart as they think them selves,” said lie, with a chuckle. “But the Judge may be shot for a burglar.” “That will be no irreparable loss. There are fifty persons anxious to fill his place. Offices never go begging in Brooklyn,” said the hardhearted jester. 1 have been watching tho papers for an account of the accidental shooting of a Brooklyn Judge, but not a line has appeared. 1 wonder how the Judge got out of the scrape, anyhow. I should like to have his story of the ad ventures of that early morning, but of course 1 would not dare to ask him.— Few York Star. One of Lincoln's Stories. President Lincoln used to speak in parables, and he often, bv telling a story to the point, got rid of persistent applicants or chronic grunibleis. On one occasion a gentleman was sent to him from General Butler to demon strate that there were union men and union prisoners enough in the rebel capital to take the town at any time. He advised that Meade's army be em ployed to divert Lee while Butler was sent to attack Richmond with a few thousand men. This reminded the President of a story lie onoe heard out in Illinois. There was a theological seminary a short distance from town, and a small bridge had to be crossed ou a bridge to get at it. The creek had overflowed occasionally and car ried the bridge away. The theologians called a meeting to see if they could not find an architect who would build a permanent bridge—one that would resist the flood and would not be swept away every j’ear. One brother said be knew of such a man, and sent for him immediately. The builder arrived and was asked if he could bridge tho stream. He replied with great empha sis that he “could build a bridge clear to hell if paid enough.” The theolo fians, highly indiguant, immediately Ismisscd him from their presence, and the brother who had introduced him was called upon to apologize for him. “I am sorry for the offense he gave you, brethren," said he, "but ho is a good architect, and I really believe he could build a bridge to the place be spoke of, but I wouldn't be sure of the abutment on tbe other side.” So it was of the unionists in Richmond. Lincoln bulieved Butler was a very good officer, but lie had some doubt about the other end of the atory. He wasn’t so sure about the abutment in Richmond.— Ben: Perky Poore.
