Address,
W. C. SMITH Charlotte NC,
It is now possible for a traveler to go
direct by rail from the City of Mexico to
British Columbia, a distance of 6,000
miles. This has been made possible by
the recent completion of the California
and Oregon railway.
It is stated that the auditorium in
Chicago will be completed before June
17, the date of the Hepublican National
Convention. The seating capacity ol
the hall will be 8,500. The Committee
gn Arrangements has decided to raise
#30,000 to be expended on decorations
and conveniences for the delegates.
No end of fun was made of Secretary
Seward, records the Springfield liepubli
tan, when he carried through his project
for the purchase of Alaska. A glance at
the commerce of that region last year,
given in the report of Governor Swine
ford. shows that the market value of its
products was nearly equal to the purchase
money. She sent to market in 1887 :fn furs,
#2,600,000; fish, #3,000,000; gold, #l,-
350,000; lumber, etc., $100,000; total,
#O, 050,000. The fur interest has already
aken second place in the list, and it is
quite possible that the fisheries will be
pushed hard by the mines in a few years.
With a white, creole and partly civilized
native population of nearly 10,000 in a
country so rich in nntural resources, the
subject of some kind of a local legisla
ture cannot long be safely dclayrd. Only
a few people hold land there in fee sim
ple, but hundreds of settlers are ready to
prove their claims when Congress makes
proper provision for such action.
Chemists, the HI. Jamcn's Ornette says,
have fora long time endeavored to find
a good artificial subititute for quinine.
Whenever war breaks out on a large scale
the value of genuine quinine always rises
very rapidly in the market. Many alka
loids, possessing more or less of the
properties of the alkaloids of quinine,
have been artificially formed; but by far
the best of these was, until quite recently,
antipyrine, or, to give it its full chemical
name.dimctbyloxyquinidinc. This alka
loid, which was discovered in 1883 by
Professor Knorr, of Erlangen, is a coal
tar product, and was recently, in a letter
to the London Timet, put forward by
Mr. Watson Smith as a romedy for sea
sickness; but its chief merit lies in the
fact that it is a notable reducer of tem
perature. It has of late met with a for
midable rival in antifebrine, another
product of coal tar. Antifebrine is not
only a perfect substitute for quinine,
•specially in cases of typhus and inter
mittent fever, but alto amorecortain and
less objectionable cure than salicylic acid
for rheqmatism. Coal tar has already
given us the most brilliant dyes, the
rarest scents, the most powerful disin
fectants, and saccharine, which is the
sweetest of known substances. Yet -it#
usefulness seems to be far from exhausted,
and a Berlin professor the other day as
sured hU class that from coal Ur he
•ould brew as good a cup of tea as from
tea leaves. . •_ J

The prisoners in jail at Chesterfield
broke jail, and all of them escaped.
They had obtained a two-inch auger
from some one on the outside, it is not
known from who or how, and with this
instrument bored two holes in the ceil
ing overhead and one in the gable. They
then tied blankets together and let them
selves down to the ground. Sheriff
King has been in search of the missing
birds for two days, but. up to this morn
ing had not captured any of them.
The barns of Gen. E. Moise and Capt.
W. It. Dclgar, at Sumpter, were destroy
ed by fire. The horses were gotten out,
but nothing else in the buildings was
saved. The tire is supposed to have been
the work of an incendiary.
The steamer I’omonn, from Jamacia
for New York, with a cargo of fruit and
coffee, was towed to quarantine. She
lost her propellor on the seventh, and
was taken in tow by the steamship Ilaw
sea, parted during the night and the
steamship left the I'omone. She pro
ceeded under sail till taken in tow by
steamship New Nurk from New York
for Galveston, which brought her to
Charleston bar. She experienced stormy
weather.
Woman's Cry For Freedom.
The International Counsil of Women
was opened at Washington I). C., with
religious services al Albaugh's Grand
Opera House. The attendance was large.
The Rev. Ada (’. Cowles, the Rev. An
toinette Brown Blackwell, the Rev. Anna
11. Shaw and the Rev Amciida Deyo of
ficiated. The subject of the sermon by
the Rev. Anna Shaw was the “Heavenly
Vision.” After referring to Si. Raul’s
vision of truth, she said:
“All down through the centuries God
has been revealing in vision great truths
which have lifted the race step by step,
until to-day won anhood in this sunset
hour of the nineteenth century is gather
ed here from the east and west, north
and south, the women of every land, of
every race, of all religious beliefs, with
divers theories and plans. But diverse
and varied are our races, diverse and
varied are our theories, diverse sis are our
religious beliefs, yet we come together
here, and now with one harmonious pur
pose—that of lifting humanity, both men
and women, into ahiger, purer and truer
life. To one has come a vision of polit
ical freedom. She saw how the avarice
and ambition of one class with power
made him forget tiie rights of another.
She saw now unjust laws embittered both
those who made them and those upon
whom injustice rested. She recognized
the great principles of universal equality
and rights and saw that all alike must
be free, not that men, not that black
and white men, but that mankind, hu
manity everywhere must be lifted up oul
of subjection into the free ami lull air of
divine liberty.
Killed llis Father In Law.
News has been received at Raleigh N.
C., of the killing of a man named Col
lins, by bis father-in-law, who is keeper
of the poor house of Nash county. Some
months ago Collins ran away with the
daughter of the keeper in opposition to
the wishes of the latter ami soon return
ed with his w ife and took up residence
with his father iu-law.
Collins was idle and a drunkard. He
lived at his father-in-law’s until the
county commissioners notified the latter
that Collins must be sent away and re
fused to support him longer. Collins
was accordingly given money and sent
away.
A few days ago lie returned and de
clared publicly on the streets of Nash
ville that he intended to kill his father
in-law. That night he went to the lat
ter’s house and attempted to force his
wav in. It was very cold ami he soon
quieted down and begged for admission.
He was finally admitted, and as soon as
he was warm he began cursing and
threatening bis father-in-law , ami made
a motion to draw’ a pistol, whereupon
his father-in-law seizing his shot gun,
fired and shot him dead in the presence
of his wife and others in the family.
The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict of
justifiable homicide.

“Perfect’* Butter.
Prof. L. B. Arnold, the famous dairy
expert, says he never judged but one
sample of butter which came up to the
standard of “perfect.” That one was
from a dairy whose product sells regu

The cream for this butter was raised by
intense refrigeration, and kept thus till
enough hail accumulated for a churning.
It was then ripened and churned. When
properly granulated the buttermilk was
drawn from the butter, which was then
rolled aud pressed into solid couditiou
with the least possible workiug.

The death of Chief Justice Waite is the
removal of a valuable public servant, of
a man whose attainments and character
were extraordinary and exemplary, as his

His professional career from the outside

his work assisted in creating that comt

his fellow citizens entertained. “Hisas
sertion on any question was always ac

known member of the Bar, who long
observed him in his legal practice.
He was appointed Chief Justice by
President Grant on the 21st of January,
1874, as the successor of Chief Justice
Chase *
The first Chief Justice of the United
States was John Jay, of New York, who
was appointed in September 1789, and re
signed to become minister to England in
1794. John Rutledge, of South Carolina,
was appointed to the office on the Ist of
July, 1795, during a recess of the Senate;

William Cushing, of Massachusetts,
was nominated in January 1797, and con

There was some question in the Senate

regarding the propriety of appointing
members of the Supreme Court to other
officers, it being argued that the practice

A GRAND PALACE
A LOOK AT THE LARGEST BUILD
ING IN THE WORLD.
The Czar’s Winter Palace at St.
Petersburg—lts Immense Size
and Gorgeous Interior
Decorations.
The Czar’s Winter Palace is the largest
building in the world, says William E.
Curtis in the Chicago News . It is about
twice the size of tlie capitol at Washing
ton, a square structure fronting on the
Neva, contains 1,700 rooms, and, it is
said, that in pldcn times as many as 6,000
people, including a guard of soldiers,
have been sheltered and fed under its
roof. The roof itself used to be the
dwelling place of a large colony when it
was necessary to keep watchmen against
fire there, and men whose business it was
to prevent the reservoirs from freezing
by casting red-hot cannon halls into the
tanks. These built huts between the
chimneys of the great palace, had their
families there, and even raised chickens
and pigs and goats ninety feet above
ground. But such guards are unnecessary
now in the age of waterworks anti fire
engines.
The palaces of the Louis at Versailles,
and of the German Emperor at Potsdam,
arc much more chaste and noble speci
mens of architecture. The Queen’s
castle at Windsor is by far more pic
turesque, tlie new building for the State,
War and Navy departments at Washing
ton surpasses the Winter Palace in beauty
and simple elegance, while the new
Palais of Justice at Brussels, the finest
architectural work of this century, is
grander, more graceful and pleasing in
every respect; yet in none of these has
so great an attempt at display been made
or so much money expended.
The present building was erected upon
the site of one occupied by the high
admiral in the time of Peter the Great,
and bequeathed by him to Peter’s son.
In 1751 that was pulled down by the
Empress Anne, who commenced the
erection of the present edifice, but left it
to be completed by the Empress Catherine
in 1762. Much of the interior was de
stroyed by fire in 1837, but was rebuilt,
and the whole was renewed in its pre
sent form in 1839, at a cost of about
50,000,000 roubles. The palace has been
occupied during the winter by ail the
Czars till the present one, who will not
live there, but keeps it for ceremonials
only, while he resides in the much smaller
and less imposing house which he occu
pied while crown prince on the Ncvski
Prospect, the Fifth avenue of Petersburg.
The main entrance, which, however,
is used-only on occasions of ceremony,
opens from the banks of the river into a
magnificent vestibule of marble, with
wide stairways reaching to the several
halls ami imperial reception rooms
above. Tlie stairway is adorned by
groups of statuary, and the long vesti
bule, 200 feet by 60, presents an array
of ideal figures in marble, as well as
statues of the heroes of Russian history.
The throne room is a magnificent apart
ment of marble, so large that the entire
White House at Washington might be
erected within its walls, and here, upon
New Year’s day, the C/ar receives the
congratulations of the diplomatic corps,
the high officers of the government and
the army, and the nobles. The white
hall is also fine and large, hut the most
imposing room is the hall of St. George,
140 by 84 feet in size and 60 feet high,
of marble, with a ceiling carved and
gilded with pure gold leaf. There is no
liner room anywhere, and it is used only
for the assemblage and decoration of
heroes with the Order of St. George,
the highest the Czar can bestow, and,
like the Order of tlie Garter in Great
Britain, a distinction enjoyed only by
tho«c who win it in the field or by some
service to the State.
Another fine room is the hall of the
ambassadors, where the diplomatic corps
assemble on occasions of ceremony, while
another is the hail of field marshals, so
called because the walls ore covered with
the portraits of those who have com
manded the armies of Russia. In these
great rooms a multitude <an assemble,
aud the balls and receptions thit have
taken place there surpass description. No
court in Europe is so lavish in display a<
that of Russia, and, although the Czar
entertains but seldom, he makes up iu
splendor what he denies in frequency.
These great halls have sometimes been
used for banquets, and in them have
dined, seated at tables at once, 8,000
persons, served on solid silver plat
throughout a menu of twelve courses, by
1,800 liveried attendants, and the iui
perial family havesut upon a platform at
the end of the room and taken their din
ners off solid gold.
The rest of the great palace is divided
into long lines of dining-rooms, drawing

rooms, art galleries, reception rooms,
etc., the most of which are of great
beauty and gorgeousness, the amount of
gilding to be seen passing all compari
son. Not only furniture, but walls,
ceiling, doors and moldings around the
windows arc covered with sheets of gold.
There seems to he no end to the bedizen-**
ing display. Wherever an opportunity
offered to slap on a lot of gold leaf there
was no failure to do it, and the amount
of bullion hammered into sheets and
spread over that building must have been
enormous.
There are several draw ing rooms whose
walls are of single sheets of glass of vari
ous colors, set in gilded frames, and the
effect is gorgeous. We had seen no end
of mirrors elsewhere, miles ami miles of
them, in the most unexpected and inex
plicable places, mirrors in closets and
attics, and cellars, bath-rooms and bou
doirs lined, ceiled and floored with them,
but these glass rooms are something new.
Imagine, if you can, a large apartment,
40x30 feet in size, with walls and ceil
ings of purple glass, set in a heavily
carved cornice of gold, the panels broken
now and then by gilded tracery aud fili
gree work, and from the centre of the
ceiling an immense crystal chandelier
of the same color hanging. And there
was not only a purple glass room, but
yeilowq blue, pink, scarlet and all the
other colors in the rainbow are repre
sented. There are Japanese rooms, Chi
nese rooms, fitted aud finished most
sumptuously. Pompeiian rooms, Roman
rooms, and rooms setting forth an ex
ample of the luxury, the taste and the
fabrics of all ages and races. Dozens of
rooms are hung with Gobelin tapestry,
and hundreds with ordinary silk and satin
brocades. There is the gold room and
the silver room, the red marble, and the
green marble room, and a bewildering
series of apartments that one cannot re
member.
Queer Notions Concerning America.
An English lady who had traveled over
the greater part of Europe saicl she had a
great desire to come to America, and her
principal object in doing so was to shoot
Niagara. I rather opened my eyes at
this, and said that I thought she must
refer to the celebrated trip down th#
rapids of the St. Lawrence, but she was
very positive on the subject, and said
she meant Niagara, and nothing else;
she had understood that they did it in a
steamboat, and she knew she should en
joy the sensation.
A well-educated middle-aged gentle
man told me that the reason our civi|
war lasted so long was that we had no
military men in our country, and that a
war carried on entirely by civilians could
not proceed very rapidly. If any of you
have ever seen an English atlas you will
understand why it is difficult to get
from it a good idea of America. We
shall find, in such an athis, full and com
plete maps of every European country
and principality, a whole page being
sometimes given to an island, or to a
colony in Asia and Africa; but the entire
United States, with sometimes the whole
of North America besides, is crowded
into a single map. Some of these are so
small that the New' Eugland States are
not large enough to contain their numea,
and are designated by letters which re
fer to the names printed in an open part
of the Atlantic Ocean. No wonder that
the people who use these maps have a
limited idea of our country.
liut it is uot only English people who
appear to know very little about America.
A German countess once asked me if wo
had any theatres in New York, and when
I told her that there were not only a
great many theatres in that cit}*, but that
it possessed two grand opera-houses at
which, at that time, two of the leading
prima donnas of the world were singing
on the same nights, she was a little sur
prised. It is quite common in various
parts of the Continent to hear people
speak of the late war between North and
South America. They knew that the
war was between the North and the
South, and as it was in America, the
mistake is natural enough to jmople who
have studied only European ge/graphy.
