Vanderbilt, one of the younger members of that famous fam? ily, haB developed an untamed North Carolina forest into a beautiful home. He is not yet 30 years of age, but to judge from the description of the transformation he has effected in the North Carolina mountains, he seems to be spending his money with an in? telligence somewhat rare among men who have so much to spend, and his enterprise is suggestive of the period, which in view of the rapid increase?.e the population of the country, cannot be very far distant, when land in the United States must be very much more valuable than it is to-day. Mr, Yanderbilt's tastes are said to run in the direction of arts and letters. His North Carolina enterprise indi? cates that he represents a development in his family beyond the money ac acquiring stage. His first step was to purchase, beside3 several mountains, 18,000 acres of land along the French Broad and the Swananoa rivers. The next step in which he exhibited un? usual intelligence is in enjoying his opportunities was to restrain the nat? ural temptation to carry out plans of his own and to employ the services of the greatest landscape artist in the country, Frederick Law Olmstead, who had so much to do with laying out the World's Pair grounds. So far sixty-five miles of macadam road have been constructed on Mr, Vander bilt's North Carolina estate. Seven hundred men are employed, their wages running from $1 per day to the ?salary of $12,000 paid to the overseer. Three years ago the work of trans? forming old fields, pastures and wood? lands into a harmonious landscape be? gan, and. Prof. Harbeson, who has passed many days in studying the de? velopment of the place, is enthusias? tic! over the progress made. He says that Druid Hill Park, Baltimore; Fairmount Park, at Philadelphia: the Boston Garden, and the Central Park, of New York, eontain nothing that is comparable with several miles of the approach on the Vanderbilt estate,, which is art of the highest kind, a combination of nature and the work of man so happily joined that the eye cannot tell where the one ends and the other begia.\ Boulders have been set in place, rtiodedendrous transplanted, ana the whole.is declared to be a poem, in plants, trees and flowers, the long? est poem ever made, and one of the greatest. . A trained forester is set? ting out large plantations of forest trees. The ab ore tum is de dared to surpass the famous Arnold aboretum at Cam-, bridge, and when completed will con? tain every tree, shrub, and woody plant found in the world which is hardy to the climate. Ten miles of railroads have been constructed to transport materials about the estate. Vast extents of land, which a year or so ago were entirely unproductive) have been so changed by ploughing, heavy manuring and green soiling that to-day ProfJ -Jiarbeson says they are growing as fine crops as can be grown in the most fertile valleys of the Northern-States. Lately Mr. Van? derhilt has added twenty thousand acres for a hunting park. There will be deer parks and lakes, and the house, which will cost $5,000,000, it is said, will be the largest dwelling house in the world, and one of the world'8 most famous struotuers. Al? ready by the introduction of mosses and vines at the bridges portions of the place have taken on the appear? ance of age and the appearance of newness has been overcome.?Lewis burg Chronicle. A Railroad's Variety Store. Did you ever stop to consider where all the little things used on a railroad come from ? Where the engineer gets his oil cans and oil and waste, the brakeman his flags and lanterns, the station agent his envelopes and pen? cils and glass to replace broken panes, the car-cleaner his brooms and sponges and soap ? The men might buy all these things themselves, but that would be a very expensive way for some of the great railroads spend $5,000,000 a year for these apparently little things. Every railroad has an officer called the purchasing agent, who buys all the articles that are con? stantly needed. He has nothing to do with buying the locomotives or cars or rails; it is only the "little" things that he has to spend sometimes $5,000,000 a year for. On the first of each month the head of- each department and every station agent make what is called a requisi? tion upon the purchasing agent for the supplies that they will need fori that month ; that is, they' make out\a:list of the articles. The purchasing agent looks over all these lists, audits them, as it is called, and strikes but some of the items when he thinks that too much has been asked for. When the list is cut down to what he thinks is right he puts his initials upon it. and it is sent to one of the principal officers of the road, who also approves it. When it comes baok to the pur? chasing agent approved, he sends an order , to the supply department, and the goods are shipped to their desti? nation. The variety of things that the pur? chasing agent has to buy is shown by two requisitions taken at random from among thousands reoeived by one agent in this city this month. One was for three dozen red globes for sig? nal lanters, 350 barrels of oil, 100 bar? rels of signal oil, 20 gallons of turpen? tine, 10,000 seals and wires for sealing freight cars, 1 coil of rope 5 inches in circumference, 1 dozen brooms, i dozen sponges. 100 pounds of waste for cleaning chimneys, 3 gallons of soft soap for cleaning cabooses, 4 kegs of nails,. 500 envelopes, 1,000 paper clasps, 1 gross of pens, 1 gross of pen? cils, and 10 yards of flag bunting. Another requisition, from an office in the interior of New York State where there must be a great many clerks called for 10,000 large, envelopes, twenty thousand small envelopes, five hundred small pads, 5,000 letter? heads, 10 gross of pens, 500 applica? tions forms, 500 monthly report blanks, 10 gross of pencils, 10 gross of clasps. 100 large sticks of red sealing wax, 500 heavy manilla envelopes, 5 dozen oil cans, 3 dozen lanterns, 10 signal lamps, 3 dozen red globes, 2 dozen white globes. 3 large lampB for station, 2 dozen brooms, 4 feather dusters, 150 pounds of waste, 9 kegs of nails, i dozen large chamois skins, 75 panes of glass 16x20, 5 coils of small rope, i bale of coarse wrapping paper,- 250 fence pickets, and 1,100 feet of barbed wire?Harpers Young People. _ ?

A revival was in progress and at one of the services a marriage was to take place between a Miss Hicks and a Mr. Dickens. The father and brother of the lady ob? jected, and the sheriff had been sum? moned to the church to prevent a dis? turbance. The parties at variance got together and the sheriff was knocked down, women screamed and there was a general consternation. No one was seriously hurt, and as soon as order could be restored the couple were mar? ried.' : A Locomotive Race. Whether there is to b.e a locomotive race between the English machine, the Queen Express, and the American en? gine, the New York Central No. 999,. has not yet been determined, although there is a general desire for a contest between these two marvels of mechan? ical skill after the close of the World's Fair, where both are now on exhibi? tion. The Queen Express is the leading feature of the ex dibit made by the London and Northwestern Railway Company of England. No. 999 is the looomotive standinc; at the head of a magnificent train of cars known an the Empire State Express, owned by the New York Central und Hudson River Railroad 1 Company. Both engines have attracted unusual attention, the spaces allotted to them being thronged with Fair visitors at all hours of the day. The flight of the magnificent speci? mens of the locomotive builders' art, if it takes place, will doubtless be mace over the tracks of the New York Central between Buffalo and Albany. Between these points four parallel bands of steel stretch, and the grades are infrequent and slight. The dis? tance is 297 miles, and the roadbed is declared by the American company to be of a character best fitted for an im? portant trial of speed. Whether the race will be a single dash over the distance, or whether the route will be doubled, trebled or quadrupled is still unknown save to the men arranging the race. The Yankee locomotive, its owners say, can make 100 miles an hour all day long, and go into the roundhouse cool and capable of going out again in five minutes and repeating the per? formance. Mr. Sawyer, who is in charge of the New York Central's ex? hibit at the Fair, says that 999 is the fastest locomotive in the world, and so far superior to the British sample that if the latter really wants to go fast it will have to be lashed to the American machine. The Britishers pooh-pooh this, and call the Ameri? cans Braggarts and other names not calculated to create and preserve the best of reciprocal feeling. The drive wheels of the great .ma? chine, 999, which towers more than twenty feet in the air. are 86 inches in diameter, and the whole, with load? ed tender, weighs 80 tons. It .has made several tests of speed while at? tached to the Empire State Express, with Engineer Charles Hogan's hand at the lever. The best records thus far postedd are: One mile in 0:35, or at the rate of 102 8-13 miles per hour and a mile in 0:33, or at the rate of 112 miles an hour. The Queen Express is a full sister I of the famous-Great Britain, which has a record of eighty miles an hour. 'The great locomotive'has two high pressure cylinders, 15 inches in di? ameter and 24-inch stroke, and one low pressure cylinder, 30 inches in di? ameter and 24-inch stroke,- The ma? chine carries four pair of wheels, the leading pair four feet and 1 1-2 inches t in diameter.. The high and low press? ure driving wheels are 7 feet 1 inch in diameter. The total weight with tender is about 77 tons.?Daily Rail? way Times. A Happy Married Con pie. "Do you know my dear," she sud? denly said as she stood up from her piece-work?"do you know that next week will be the twentieth anniver? sary of our wedding?" "Is that so? By George! how the time flies! Why, I had no idea of it." "Yes, we have been married al? most twenty long years," she contin? ued with something of a sigh.

"Why, George, he wasn't such a bad fellow." "Wasn't, eh? Well, I'd like to know a worse one. He didn't know enough to chew putty, and there you were as good as engaged to him." "Yes, George, but you know you were keeping company at the same time with that Helen Per? kins." "That Helen Perkins! Wasn't Miss Perkins one of the loveli? est and prettiest young ladies in Liv? erpool?' "No she wasn't! She had teeth like a horso!" "She did. eh? How about that stoop-shouldered and white-headed Braoe?" "And such big feet as she had! Why George, she was the laughing stock of the town." "Not much she wasn't! She was a young lady who would have made a model wife." "Then why didn't you marry her and all her moles and warts and mushroon eyes?" "Don't talk that way to me! Her eyes were as nice as yours." "They wasn't!" "They were! I believe you you are sorry because you didn't marry Brace." "And I know you are sorry because you didn't marry that beautiful and accomplished Miss Per? kins!" "I am, eh! I thought you said I had been a good husband to you?" "And didn't you call me your bles? sed little wife?"

A remarkable surgical operation il? lustrating the advancement of medical science, says the Boston Journal, has just been performed on Miss Daisy Bedwell, the sixteen-year-old daugh? ter of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Bedwell, of Yazoo City, Mies. The operation was conducted by Dr. Frank Hartley, con? sulting surgeon at Boosevelt hospital and Dr. George Howe Winkler, pro? fessor of operative dentistry at the New York dental school. Dr. Winkler, to whose attention the case was brought in the first instance, said that he learned upon inquiry that when the girl was four and a half years old she lost almost the entire lower jaw on the right side by necrosis, due .probably to a blow or a fall, which fractured the bone so that it came away almost entirely by the sloughing of the tissues of the neck under the angle of the jaw and very little through surgical interference. Dr. Winkler found, on examination, that the periostium had finally filled up with a new growth of bone, which I did not grow any longer than a four :and-a-half-year-old child's should be. The development of the jaw on the other side was natural. The effect was to push the chin round under the right cheek. Dr. Winkler, believing that if the new growth of bone was sawn through it would be possible to force the chin around in front of the face and hold it there permanently, advised an operation, which was per? formed by Dr. Hartley. He made an incision in the neck, under the angle of the jaw, sawing the bone in two. Two hard rubber appliances, one on each jaw, were inserted and fastened ,to their respective teeth. These ap? pliances brought the chin into its nor? mal position by an arrangement of floss silk ligatures and were allowed to remain in position four weeks') while the external wound was healing. When the external wound was suffi? ciently healed the work of inserting the permanent appliances was begun. This was done by soldering upon the lower jaw an upright bolt, which slid up and down on a gold bar soldered to the upper, allowing the jaws perfect freedom to open and close, but retain? ing the lower jaw perfect in the new position to which it had been brought. The operation is regarded as highly successful, and the good results ob? tained are pretty sure to be permanent. Miss Bedwell and her mother left this city for their home to-day, and the young girl was as happy as if she had inherited a fortune, for she is now a ,very pretty young woman. The oper? ation is one of the most notable per? formed for years.ft _ Tbat Poor Baby, ' A woman got into a Cold Spring car the other afternoon. She was carry a sweet-faced baby, which was not more than 6 months old. The oar was detained on the corner where the woman got on; and she shifted around nervously in her seat for a moment and then began to toss the baby about. Here is a true de? scription of what she did with that child while the car was going three blocks: Held it upright on one knee for thirty seconds. Then shifted it to the other knee. Pulled it up against her and hugged it twice. ?\Held it up to the window and then I stood it up on her lap. .Made, a , cradle of her arms and jumped it up and down about six times. Put her'hands under its( arms and tossed it .five times. ; Placed it on her left knee. Then put it on her right knee. Laid it on its stomach on her lap. Hngged it to her bosom and patted it seven times. Tossed it in the air a dozen times and hugged it four or five times. ? Laid it on its back on her lap and then turned it so that it lay on its stomach. Patted it for a minute and hummed "Hush-a-by-Baby," although the child wasn't making a sound. Held it up to the. window for the third time, and then, when the con? ductor came after her fare, t>he laid it in a mussy lump on the seat beside her. Patted it some more, joggled it some more, tossed it some more and .flopped it down on its stomach again. Held it out at arm's length and gazed at it rapturously. Talked gib? berish to it and hugged it some more. And all this while the car was going three blocks I In heaven's name, are babies made of India rubber, that they stand so much mauling?

"What do girls talk about," I asked one of them, "at their luncheons and during calls upon each other?" "Well," she replied, "there are usually two subjects of conversation at gatherings of girls, and they are about equally prolific. One of them is the men, and the oth ir is girls who don't happen to be present. We dis? cuss the men of our acquaintance from every possible point of view, exchange confidences that have been made to us, criticise them with unrestricted freedom, and wonder which of them want to mavry and what styles of girls they prefer. Sometimes we are rather sharp in our criticismu, but on the whole the men get out rather easily. But when it comes to other girls? my 1" "What do you mean by that ?" "I mean that no mercy is shown.

Washington, October 20.?Speaker Crisp was a poor young lawyer about the close of the war, trying to make both ends meet while pouring over Blackstone in the little village of Ellaville, Georgia. But it was pretty hard work; the only brightness in life was the smile of Clara Burton, whose parents opposed the match. But people can't live on smiles, and the ?bare room of the poor fellow offered no hopes for the future but a few pieces of shabby furniture and a few dog-eared books. I Of course poverty didn't affect their courtship. In fact the lower the money got in the slender purse the higher rose the mercury in love's thermometer. Then suddenly young Crisp fell ill, so ill that the physician despaired of his life. On hearing this i Clara immediately declared that, if he .were in need of her nursing, she would have the marriage ceremony performed bo that she could take her place of 'watching at his bedside. Crisp was just about as blue in spirits and ill in Body as a poor, : young, hopelessly in love fellow can well be, and his despair seriously retarded any improvement, but when the doctor returned with Clara's mes? sage he felt inspired by such a proof of affection and declared he intended to get well, marry her in spite of his poverty, and make for her a name of 'which she should one day be proud. And he has kept his word faithfully. ?Unfortunately for the devoted wife she was soon after her marriage attacked with rheumatio gout, which has ever since kept her in ill health. Yet there was no Southern home more beautifully kept than that of Mrs. Crisp. Her chief amusement is writ? ing to absent friends and reading the papers, while much of her pleasure consists in collecting and pasting in a' scrap book all the papers say of her husband. Mrs. Crisp has had seven children, only four of whom are now living. The eldest daughter is married, the oldest boy, Chas. Crisp, Jr., is clerk to his father, while the two youngest, Frederick and Bertha, are yet in their early teens. The children's love clus? ters about their invalid mother, while she returns to them and their father the fulness of the deep affection that enshrines all her family in her heart. And while her delicate health will prevent her taking part in the social duties of Washington, society there will be no happier family than that of Speaker Crisp in all the nation's Capi? tal.?Philadelphia Times. Sheppard on State Politics. Edgefield, S. C, Oct. 16.?An 06 server reporter to-day saw ex-Governor John C. Sheppard at Edgefield and had some talk with him on the features of the present administration at Columbia. "Do you think, Governor, that Gover? nor Tiilman will execute his plan of cre? ating a metropolitan police in Charleston and other cities of the State?" inquired the reporter. "I don't believe he can do it. I doubt if he would dare attempt it, if the Legis? lature would authorize it. He will pile on one straw too much before long if he continues his methods. The Legislature, however, will surely not follow Tiilman to the ends he would carry the people of the State if allowed." "What will be the result of Judge Hudson's decisions as to the constitu? tionality of the dispensary law ?" "They will probably be reversed by the State Supreme Court." "Will there be any way of getting the question before the Supreme Court of the United States, and what would be the result of that?'1 "I think it may get there, and if it does I think the United States Supreme Court .would sustain Judge Hudson's decision." "What will be the outcome of the dis? pensary experiment, Governor?" in? quired the reporter of the ex-Governor. "It is bound to fail," answered Gover? nor Sheppard. "The law might have been made a good one if it bad been executed as many members of the Legis? lature intended it should be when it was passed. It is already past the support of an> honest prohibitionist by being turned ana strained into a revenue measure, and is not being in any way operated as a prohibition bill. Tiilman promised a reduction in taxes. He has not made any reduction, but has a number of ex? pensive spies all over the State. By expense and energy there has been some appearance of headway, but neither the expense nor time heretofore spent on it can be indefinitely continued. Then the ? whole thing must fall to pieces, and it undoubtedly will do bo and bean ignom? inious failure. In this town of Edgefield several reputable citizens signed an application for Mr. Davis as dispenser, if there was to be a dispensary at all, and these signatures were construed to be a petition for a dispensary, instead of simply recommendations of a man for dispenser. In Laurens I am told' that about one-eighth of an acre of land was divided amongst sixty-one people to make them freeholders, in order to get the necessary signatures to establish a dispensary. "The dispensary act was passed as a temperance measure but the execution of it is falsifying the spirit of the bill as honest temperance people intended it. The prohibitionists In this State are an intelligent lot of men and they will not tolerate a complete perversion of their moral influences for the purpose of rais? ing money to relieve the administration of a very embarrassing situation about its promises to reduce taxes, and this failure to reduce taxes become a tribute to the ability and honesty of the past administrations of the State govern? ment." "I intend to print the substance of this conversation in the Charlotte Observer," said (he reporter." "I think: it is best for me not to appear in print," said Governor Sheppard, "and I prefer that you would not do it for the reason that in the past I have said what? ever I have bad to say of Tillman's man? agement of public affairs in the presenoe of the people and face to face with Tiil? man.on the platform and I think it would be most decent and decorous to pursue the same course in the future. I prefer to wait till a proper occasion should require me to speak outand then I would prefer to do it on the stump and again in the presence of the people and the repre? sentatives of those whoso views I op? pose. "Might not the dispensary bill be mod? ified to be a good measure ? Many people say the dispensaries are better than bar rooms," said the reporter. "I am in favor of a good law to control the liquor business, and I have some ideas on the subject which I may formu? late into a plan for presentation to the people at some future time, but I am unalterably opposed to the State's going into the liquor business in any shape or form. I don't believe in the priuciple of the thing, and still less can I tolerate such a business under the guise of a moral measure, when in fact it is a finan? cial measure wbicb is being forced upon communities whether the dispensaries are wanted or not and when the impell? ing force in the matter is the necessity the administration is under to raise reve? nue and not the cause of temperance or the good conduct of the people."?Char? lotte Observer. ?

What About the New Party I There is a restlessness and apparent dissatisfaction on the part of the voters of this country. This feeling prevails especially on the Southwest side of the Apalachfan mountains and in the trans Mississippi States. Will this agitation force a new party to the front ? Which one of the others will go ? About 1870, It looked as if the Grange would overrun the Western States and take charge of the whole country. The South was then too prostrate to take part in that movement The Grange was only a farmer's organization here and did not take part in politics. That has now died out and one seldom hears it mentioned. The sub-treasury scheme, two years ago, loomed up as the main issue be? tween the parties that now exist and the new one that is to come. The man who would now mount the rostrum and plead for the establishment of the sub-treasury would be considered a harmless crank. The bimetalic convention at St. Louis indicated that the rallying point for all people in favor of the new party was free silver. That would bring the people of the Southern and Western Slates together. Never before in the history of any country haa there been a party form? ed with such an issue. Banking, cur? rency and finances arc important factors in every government, but voters do not divide into parties on those lines. It seems that when the new party does come, as come it will, that there will be other issues which are not sectional and the parties will not be bounded by geo? graphical lines. For sixty years the country has been harassed with sectional strife, and just as we are getting over that it would be unfortunate for a portion of the South to unite with a portion of the West against the balance of- the country. Sectional politics have been tried and found detrimental. The South has had enough of it. But agitators, scheming men, place hunters and all that class know that their opportunity comes from strife and they will endeavor to keep the people stirred up on something. This is a good time to listen to both sides of all ques? tions and to be very slow in following so-called leaders, especially when they have good offices and are looking for? ward to better ones. What we want in South Carolina to-day is more loyalty to the welfare of the State and less loyalty to men; more independence and less servility to faction; more right thinking and less dependence on blind and selfish leaders.?Spartanburg Spartan. ? The longest reach of railway without a curve is that of the New Argentine Pa? cific Railway, from Buenos Ayres to the foot or the Andes. For 211 miles it is withont a curve and has no cutting or embankment deeper than two or three feet The North Carolina Central Rail? road for many years cla?med to have less cuts and curves than any railroad on this hemisphere. ? The exhibits at Chicago of grain and rice from Mexico, Liberia and Trinidad are to be disinfected, with the object of preventing the introduction in this coun? try of insect pests not native to onr soil. Investigation has shown that 40 different species of insects infest the various agri? cultural exhibits. Of these 22 already exist in this country. Furs, hides, wool? lens, etc., also afford safe harborage for destructive vermin, and efforts will be made to prevent their naturalization. The Buffalo moth, which has done such sad work in destroying our carpets, came to the country on a visit to the Centen? nial Exhibition at Philadelphia, and has made itself a permanent resident. ?In the course .of his remarkable ad? dress on journalism to the young men of Union College Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun, said: "What books shall the young man contemplating a news? paper career read ? Of all, the most in? dispensable, the most nseful, the one whose knowledge is the most effective is the Bible. There is no book from which moro valuable lessons can be learned. I am considering it now not as a religious book, but as a manual of util? ity, of professional preparation and pro? fessional use for a journalist. There is perhops no book whose stylo ia more suggestive and more instructive, from which you lei?rn more directly that sub? lime simplicity which never exagger? ates, which recounts the greatest event with solemnity, of course, but without sentimentality or affectation, none wblch you open with such confidence and lay down with such reverence; there is no book like the Bible." ? An exchange tells of a young man who is very particular about his washing. Recently he wrote a note to his washerwoman and one to his sweetheart, and by a strange fatality he put the wrong address on each envelope and sent them off. The washerwoman was well pleased with the invitation, to take a ride next day, but when the young lady read: "If you tumble up my shirt bosom as you did the last time, I will go somewhere else," she cried all the evening and declared she would never speak to him again.
