Tne enterprising "Washington corre iponJent cf a "Western pipar recently ttlegraphed to L'h paper an imaginary Interview with Dr. Wharton, the acknowledged authority on international law. When he saw the paper the next morning .e waj horrind to learn that i Ir. WLariC-n had died arly the previous ' evinict' at tilt tirno wha he wai repre : icute 1 fa chatting with the corre f ipondent. . The present year wnl witness the ad dition to tht-j l n:te i tatev Navy of at least five new vessels the Vesuvius, Yoiktown, Charleston, Petrel and Balti more, with the possibility of the Con cord and Pennington joining the sum Ler. The Philadelphia an J Newark will also Le launched this tummer from Cramps's vanli, so that the coming fall will see tbe trial of naval. vessels follow ing one upon the other in quick suc cession. Thr work on the Concord and Bennington ' i-t being pushed steadily forward, and it U expected that both vesitli will Le launched before July. A rather novel proceeding took place a few evening!' ago, ..bays tho New Orleans Turn-l)-r,ocruf, on the public sipiaro of Ileleni, Ark. A white mac had been lined for carrying oncealed weapons, and he did not desire to go to jail, and did not have enough to pa) the fine and -cost V i'nder tho law, ai it now standi, and ai the county convict farm ha been abolished, the white man was put tip for silc by the constable (a colore 1 man) and'sold. He waS boughl in at the tatc of twenty-five cents per day for a miiy days as it would taki the prisoner t work . out the fines and costs at tho rate of scventy-fve cents per day. . The other night in the city court, states the Const i'nthn, occurred one of the most remarkable linguistic perform- j ances ever witnessed in an Atlanta court of justic e. It was in the case of Dutto Tumasso, wh9 is suing tho Atlanta and West L'nd Street I 'ail way for damages. There was a witne33 on the stand who spoke only French. There was only one interpreter who spoko French, and he spoke only Trench and Italian. There was only, ono Italian interpreter who poke Italian and English. So the testi mony of the witness delivered in French was translated into Itatian by the first interpreter, then from Italian into Eng lish by ttie second interpreter, and thus through three tongues reached tho judge. ' Tho -Chinese Navy has wonderfully improved, writes Frank O. Carpenter, since the late war with France. Their Northern squadron Is commanded by an English naval officer, and their ships, built in England and Germany, are among tho best of the small men-of-war aSoat. They carry tho latest improve ments in the way of guns and the hull of some of their boats are of steel. They ure, I una told, now making gunboats of their own, and they have a cruiser of 2100 tons and of 2100 horse-power, which they built not long ago. The country ha but a small national debt, amount ing, say the statistics, to not over $2-3,-000,00, and by a judicious taxation it could establish a navy and army which miffht make the rest of Asia tremble. Electrical science seems to be branch log out into new fields almost daily. One of tin- late-it d evrlopments to be ex plained and illustrated in the electrical prcs is an electrical aid to the rapid compilation of statistic!, now in use in the oflicoof the Surgeon-General, United States A i my, lor compiling the army health statistics. The facts in the indi vidual record are punched from uniformly printed recording cards, and tabulation of thce.card is entirely mechanical and electrical, the cards being run through a press and the remltiug electrical con nection through the punched holes being recorded upon a scries of counters ar ranged to register to ten thousand. Any desirable or possible combinations of the date recorded upon the cards may be electrically tabulated. It is proposed tc employ this machine in the digestion oi the statistics of the eleventh which is soon to be taken. census. A letter from Costa Pica say that the people the-e take life easily. It takes twenty employes to run a short train of cars. AU dress iu ceorgeous uniformar and the conductor is resplendent in sil ver and gold decorations. Fassenger purchase tickets on credit, and sixty daya are alio we 1 for the payment of freight bills. Cut in the country goods arc car ried by ox teams, and it frequently takes a team a week to mako fifty miles. No body is in a hurry, and nobody cares to do to-day what can be put o f until to morrow. The neccssarses of hfe aro cheap, and long credit is forced upon, the purchaser. Nobody steals anything, and a poor teamster will carry thousand of dollars many miles for thirty cents, Such a thing as highway robbery is un heard of. The people have no violent prejudice against anything except hard work, and they will do anything to help a stranger until he proves himself dis agreeable. Then they will notify him. to leave, and If he is slow about it ther ii ioroe mm to go. Altogether, Cost hica is a pleasant country for a laxy man. t 1 ; VOL. I NO 13.
