From our regular correspondeut' -
" The uewspftper romancers of the
national Capital having bconni tired
of straining their inrentive powers inn
describing the result of -the battl
royul between. Mr. Clevel md an I the
Deuiocra'ic Seiiitors," u b ittle which
has not bigu.i and is not likely to bt
gin, ihii week started on another tack
with the first chapter of a new and excit
ing remance entitled "dimensions in the
O rbinet," which will be run asasarialin
republic in and sensational newspapers
as lonj? as the invention of the authors
holds out, or until something new and
more startling shall huve been evolved
from their tanks. Thn first chapter
opens with a spirited description of
the intention of Secretaries Carlisle
and Gresham to resign, which is writ
ten with all the skilbwhich has char
acterized the numerous "intentions of
Mr. Cleveland," written by the samf
authors, and it is every bit as true.
Neither Secretary Carlisle nor Gres
ham are di&satis(ied5or have any inten
tion of reliring from the Cabinet. On
the contrary they are, in common with
their colleagues of the Cabinet, in per
fect harmony with President Cleveland
in his determination to give the coun
try the best and most successful ad
ministration it ha had since the war,
and, what is mure important, indica
tions of success are becoming more
plentiful every day. If the Secreta
ries named, or any of their colleagues,
were contemplating resigning, yon
may be sure that the Republican ro
mancers would be the last men in
Washington who would be taken into
their confidence. Ananias was a mere
novice in the art of prevarication when
compared with the correspondents of
tepublican newspapers who try to
earn their salaries by writing what
:h ir managing editors order, instead
f thtt facts about Washington new.

A considerable number of important

week, and so far as cm be learned, they ,
give general satisfaction to Democrats,

and consular service.

. Jaffa, March 15. For many.aonths
Jaffa has been in a state of Oppress d
excitement. From the window of my
lodging called by the wildest stretch
of courtesy a hotel I haTs peen the
narrow streets of the old sea-gate town I
swarming with agitated crowd,' broken
up into compact little groups, all en-. i
ergetically dicuss'.ng in a multiplicity
of tongues the wonderful events that
are now taking place under tneir very
eyes, and, I might add, their -hoses al
so, for your Eastern cosmopolite has a
rare faculty of ferreting out strange
odors, in spite of the fast that he has
an abundance to contend with at home.
In the larger cafes, as well asin those
little wooden affairs 'where' tilt mule
teers and camel drivers resort, anion?
dervishes, merchants, strangers, and
fellaheen, the one a!orbing subject
of which they spak with awe and
wonderment, incredulity and appre
hension, is the railroad.
As for the citizens of Jaffa, them-
selves, many of them stoutly declare
that a section of the millennium has
come with the locomotive whistle, and
the' are delighte 1 beyond expression
ut the prospect of a revival of the an
cient presprrity wf their old town,
which for dogs, sand, and dirt stands
without a rival this side of Egypt. It
would be an insignificant place were
it not for its commanding sea front,
which gives it advantages over any
other port east of Alexandria. It
crowns the crest ot a hill formed by
shelving limestone, rock, and sand,
and its environs are attractive enough,
with their . hedges, of. prickly pear,
their orange and olive groves, and fruit
gardens. But tli3 streets are like so

full of allevs, corners uud culde-saes,

I 1 the immediate vh:imty stands
the pride ifJ.f!i, the new railroid

lately vith imposing ceremonies by
the Governor of Jerus tleni, Ibrihim

lowed the opening and t.ie Sultan h
special envoy, who had been sent ..on
with an eve to bn-iness and to see that
i the terms of the concession were ob
served, was a leading g-.esr.
The engineers of the new road who
mad the surveys and directed the
building operations are nearly all
Europeans, of course. Not i 11 genera

come near it.
From Jaffa to Jerusalem. by rail the
distance is a little over thirty-five
milts, and the trip occupies nearly
threee hours and a half. Through a
lovely open country the road enters
the famous flam otnaron,auu a tne
train rushes along the herd of sheep,
goats, and camels are seen .scattering
on every side. In the distance the
the little village of Beth-Dagn is
barely visible; it is not of sufficient
importance to warrant a depot. As

men wjio have no' time' to rwid spent!
their time loafing On the; streets vt

a man has no time; to read oh'e or eVaji
three or four weekly papers each Week'

The class of men that claim tfiey do
not have time to read are a curse to the
community in whicfi they live. They
have minds of theirown, and, being as
ignorant as a Hottentot they are used'
by the sharpers 'of their town nnd
neighborhood to help them cam out
schemes to thwartjhe will of the edu
cated and respected citizens. TheniHii
who doesn't have time to read "is usu

plenty of time to read aud past him

The educated laboring man finds
plenty of time to read, aud.-without
