Two passenger locomotives, each of the goner.vl outline and proportions and of apparently similar pattern and linish, wero staudiny on a side track near the fourth stroot station.
"Ono of these engines will go to the boneyard to-morrow to be dismantled and thrown into the scrap heap," re- maricod a railroad man to a reporter who was watching an engineer crawl /under ono of tho iron horaes to lubri¬ cate an unseen  oil-hole."
"Yes," said the reporter. "Why they both appear to be in perfect cr¬ uder."
"Which engino do   you  suppose will
be broken up?"    asked  tho railroader.
"Hard to say.    That one to the right
seems the most likely candidate for the
boneyard."
The railro.'id man laughed. "Wrong," said he.     -'It's the   other. This one   is in lino   condition.    Hasn't been built more than a year.    The oth¬ er is more than lifteen years old."
"You see," said tho railroader, "that all the engines of the company are so carefully burnished up, painted and re¬ paired, that you can't tell whether one of them has a serious complaint or ia la perfect health. Old parte that have become weak or broken are taken out and new ones put in until there is little left of the original locomotive. Why, I'll venture to say that there Is liardly any thing left of this engino right here, so far as original material goes, except the number, and I don't kuow but what that has been changed."
"Does swift running tend to lessen the life of a locomotive?"
"Yes, but  not so much as  you may think.    Now, the average life of  a lo¬ comotive all over the United States is about twc'ivo years.    You will find that the swift passenger engines will  como up to that average  nearly  every tima Of course  they got an occasional rack¬ ing,  but even  at the  highest rate  of speed tho vital parts of the locoraotivo are not moro liable to injury than they are when  starting a heavy train up a fltoop grade.    There is a  great deal of nonsensical talk about fine locomotives making big time and   all   that    Now the best run ever made by a locomotive was by one of tho most common affjtirs on our lino, Central Pacific engine 149. This   engine  hauled  the   Jarrott  and Palmer special train, which left Jersey City on  June  1.   1886,   and arrived at San Francisco Juno  4.    No.   149  took the   train   at   Ogdon   and brought it through to this city, a distance of 879 Eolles, in twenty-three hours  and fifty- nine minutes, an average of 86.8  miles an hour.    Tlmt performance has never been equaled, although I Raw in a press telegram tho other day that the great¬ est run ever mado by a locomotive was by ono on the Erie railway on   the  1st day of  this month.    That  engine took a train from Jersey City to Buffalo, 423 uiiles,' in   thirteen hours aud   five min¬ utes, or an average sjwcd of 32.3 miles an hour, which,   as  you see, does not begin to compare with tho speed made by No. 149 for  twice the distance   aud over much heavier grades.
Engino and en>^'iiiccr arc or ought to be very closely identiliod, if good work is to be expected at all times. At one time it was undertaken by tho New York Central to have ita locomotives run by the engineers on tho turn-about plan, so that an engine got a dififeient driver every day. This system was of short duration, for it was found that while it was a saving of time in somo respects, it was very poor economy on the whole, as the repairs of engines were much more frequently required than by the old system of a certain man running a certtiin looomotive. A skilled enghneer, who has had a long acquaifitanco with his engine, knows by tho very ••feel" of tho iron horse vrhethor thero Is any thing the matter v.ith it or not, while a man who does not have this acquaintance will prob¬ ably allow the Hues to start, the pipes to leak or the journals to heat.
There aro a thousand and one tilings that are likely to cut short the speed of the locomotive and make tho i)assen- gers fret and fume over tho delay. Tho loosening or breaking of an eccentric or the heating of journals or trouble with the air-br»ko machinery ia prob¬ ably as frequent as any thing."
"Is not the tendency toward heavy motive pow^er?"
"Yos; but a heavy engine gets out of
repair as quickly as a light one. All railroad companies prefer to run long and heavy trains, pulled by big locomo¬ tives, rather Ihau tu divide their cars into small trains, run by light engines,
as tho expense of the latter system i» much tho greater."
Ono of the biggest items of railroad expense is the repair of locomotives, and that every thing that tends to less¬ on that expense and at the same timo Insure good service is grasped by the railroad companies as a man grasps the hand of his best friend. On the Pacific syfiteni of the Southern Pacific Company, whore G.W locomotives are now in use, the annual cost of repairs is nearly $1,000,000. In 1S87 the South¬ ern Pacific Company paid $722,1:^3.55 for repairs of engines in California alone, Tho Atlantic and raciflc's Cali¬ fornia directors also had nearly .$GO,000 worth of repair work done. Repairs aro more frequently required in some parts of California and Nevada, where al'Kall water Is used than anywhere ol'sa in the world. A thick incrustation is formed in the boiler, which weakens it in places, rendering it liable to bursting unless cared for at once. Ordinarily a firebox will last six to eight years, but on tho Yuma desert with the alkali wa¬ ter it will not last longer than two years.
"It is not tho running of an engine that racks it so much as the stopping and starting," continued the railroader. Take, for instance, the Central Pacific overland or the Portland express. Now, the engine hauling those trains only make three stops between San Fran¬ cisco and Sacramento. Thoy get to the end of their triji in much better coudi- tion than an engine on the Oakland local run does at the end of ita day's work with all its stops and starts.
"A good average run of a locomotive is 100 miles per day. Somo run much farther and others much less, but an engine will keep in belter repair if it novor exceeds the average. Locomo¬ tive running is dilTerent in California from that in the P2ast in ono great re¬ spect Take a freight train of forty- five cars, for instance, going from Buf¬ falo to New York, on the New York Central Line. Now, one eight-whoel locomotive, with 18x24 inch cylinders, will tako that train throtigh all right and without assistance. For tho same dLitance on the Central Pacific, from Sacramonto to Truckeo, it would re¬ quire six engines of tho same size.
"While heavy engines are now re¬ quired all around, 1 don't think the tendency la toward colossal aflairs liko our *El Gobernador,' which weighs 103 tons or 203,000 pounds with the tender, but rather to a weight of about 85,000 to 130,000 pounds. The average weight of Central Pacific looomotives is 83.000 pounds and the maximum 153,14<J, while the total length of the heaviest engine, including tender, is sixty-fivd feet and six inches. The maximum weight of the Atlantic and Pacific loco¬ motives used in this State is 117,750 pounds."
The sixty and seventy-five-mlle-an- bour average for regular trains ia gen¬ erally a myth. An average of forty- eight and throe-tenths miles an hour for ninety miles by the Pennsylvania limited fiom Jersey City to Philadel¬ phia is tho fastest schedule time in tho United States. The "Flying Dutch¬ man" train is supposed to make tho fastest time in tlie world between Ix)rv- don and Bristol, 118 1-2 miles in less than two hours. Tho average, though, of even this fast train is only fifty-nine and one-eighth miles an hour. The fastest train in this Stato is the Moil: terey express, but it averages less than forty miles an hour, although between San Jose and CaaLroville it often gets up a speed of fifty-five miles an hour for a short distance on a level track.
Locomotive statistics aro very intor- cstlng. By tho increase in their num¬ ber ono can readily mark tho growth of many of the great railway systi-ms of tho land. For Instvnce, In 1878. the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo had but thirty-eight locomotlvoa. L:ist year tho same company had ovor 600. 'I'he Chicago and Northwestern ten years ago had only about 400 locomotives; now it has over 800. Tho Chicago, Burlington and Qui ney had ouiy 484 locomotives in 1881-, now it has nearly 1,000. in the East thoro is an average of about 25 locomotives to every 100 miles of {rack, while on this coast thero are from 10 to 15, although moro loco moth'ca are required hero for a certain amount of trafiic, owing to heavy grades.
One of the most striking changes in locomotives of late is tho absence of polished brasses. A few years ago they were rosplendent with glitter and shine, and half of the work of the driver and fireman was to keep them bright. Now there is next to nothing of this sort of thing, plainness boin;r .souglit every¬ where. The responsibility of tho man lu the locoraotivo oab has become so much greater of late by the use of the air brake that ho has littlo time to de¬ vote to polishing, and it is probably just as well that the pretty brasses have given way to a dull-hued metal and dark paint. Still to tho eyes of most persons tho dingy, smoky affair of to¬ day is possessed of little beauty com¬ pared with the bright and glittering vision.s of the iron h rse of tho past — San Francisco Chronicle.

ON    THE   BOSPHORUS.
Shttt&ordlnarr   Beauties   of  the  Sail t)e scribed By a Traveler.
I wish It were within the compass of a letter to fully describe our trip up the Bosphorus. As wo slowly sailed through its serpentine channel I had ample opportunity, partly by night and partly by day, to contemplate the grandeur and beauty of Its unrivaled scenery. Nature has been particularly prodigal in the disposition and forma/- tion of these glorious shores. High hills and rugged promontories succeed one another with beautiful variety, imd present scenes that beggar de¬ scription. Either shore is covered with continuous villages, splendid gardens, gorgeous and most fantastic palaces, many of which are appro¬ priated to Sultanas or ladies of the Imperial family. Majestic groves of chestnut, oak, platane and numerous fragrant trees spread their umbrageous branches and embalm the air far and wide; while roses, myrtles, arbutus, frankincense and an immense variety of other plants and flowers, with which nature has so liberally bedecked these woodland scenes, enrich these lovely shores and transform them into a veritable terrestrial paradise.
Right opposite the Castle of Europe, also called the "Fortress of Moham¬ med, or Prison of the Janissaries," one commands a most glorious viow ol Constantinople. The great Seraglio, the majestic church of Ajis Sofia (St. Sophie), with the magnificent temples of the successive Sultanas, tho light and fantastically construct¬ ed palaces which garland both the European and Asiatic shores of the Bosphorus, complete a panorama of unequaled grandeur and magnificence. Casting a parting glance at the lovely and ever-to-bo-reraembered city of tho Sultan I bade a last farewell to Istam- boul Effendl, which a sharp bend of the Bosphorus, soon after screened from our sight
The image of this parting scene had scarcely vanished when another no less enchanting gradually evolved itself before our eyes. "The Sweet Waters of Asia," shouted the "Arnoout" or Turkish boatman, and five or six of our Mussulman traveling companions bade us good-bye and swiftly rowed towards tho shore. The valley of the "Guink Suy," or of the Sweet Waters, is the most fashionable and delightful resort of the Mussulman "grand monda" This lovely spot, shut in on three sides by lofty hills, is covered with the most luxuriant vegetation. The stretch of turf on which the ladies spread their carpets, drive their ara- baa and spend tho long summer days, gently and gradually elopes towards the Bosphorus, only partially screened from view by a thinly wooded lawn of trees, shrubs and flowera This charm¬ ing nook, with its background of hills affords one of the prettiest coups d'oeil that can be imagined. Here the wives of the eflfendis, of the boys, the emirs and tho pasihas, with their sisters and daughters, find their pastime in driving about tho spacious lawns and smoking their de¬ licious chibouks; or, spreading their carpets and their crimson rugs, group together to gossip, sip their sweet sherbets and enjoy their watermelons. It is from the Bosphorus that one can see the ladies of the harems really at home, adjusting their yashmaks and head-dresses with the assistance of a hand mirror held Vy a black slave, who kneels at the edge of the carpet These hand mirrors aro the prettiest toys imaginable, and the taste dis¬ played In their decorations proves their great Importance in the eyes of an Oriental beauty, of whom it is a constant traveling companion.
Leaving these blessed houris in tho midart of their enjoyment and happi¬ ness, we soon entered the waters of tho Black Sea, ¦vrhich, by tho by, aro not black, but rather blue. Throe hours after doubling Cape Sinope, which from tho sea looked like a giant's head, we obtained the first glimpse of the whitewashed houses of Trebizond, which, clustered in groups on the sides of the well-timbered hills with snow¬ capped crests, peemo<l from a distance so many flocks of sheep grazing on the green and picturesque Asiatic slojes. Two hours later wc landed at Batoum, but as it was dark I could form no opinion of the place.—Coi*. N. Y. Mail and Express.
—It was uot many years ago that the cotton wood treo was considered use¬ less for tho purposes of lumber. To¬ day It is crowding white pine out of the market for certain purposes, and large fortunes are being made aJl along the Mississippi river out of this wood, which wa.s as much despised in that field as a garfish always has been among fishermen. In New Orleans white pine ia worth $35 a thousand, whilo yellow edition wood brings $65.

dOLLY   LEMON    PARTI Ea
f3i«   lAtest   Fad   In   WasIiiiiKton   8«ohU Entertainments.
It seems as if the poor little lemon had arrived at the height of its useful¬ ness when made to do duty, with the adjunct of ten  cents' worth of citrio ootd, for a ban*el of church lemonade, but   now   the    "Progressive   Lemon ^arty"   is   brought to the front, and here it plays a part unassisted by any chemical   compounds    of    itseli     A prominent Washington lady issued 1jv« vitations last week which read*- Maa Jones. At home, Tuesday, 7 p. Di   : Please hring a lemon-
Of course every one who received one of these mysterious summonses was consumed by curiosity. It re¬ minded one of the incident of a South¬ ern Senator who received a card with fhe oabalistio letters signifying that the owner hod "called in poison." Not understanding tho card etiquette of Washington he sent his card in re¬ turn, with the letters "S. B. N." in one corner. What could it mean? No ^e seemed to know, so the recipient determined to ascertain if possible. The next timo he saw his friend he re¬ marked: "Say, Senator, what do the letters *S. B. N.' mean on your card?" *'Why, sent by a nigger, of course.*' QWhat could "Please bring a lemon*' mean? The only way to ascertain seemed to be to comply with the invi¬ tation. The Washington Market seemed glutted with the meanest little dricd-up lemons ever seen. Tuesday at seven p. m.. with the lemons in their hands, the guests presented themselves at Mrs. Jones' hospitable home. They were shown into a charm¬ ing little cloak room, with yellow dec¬ orations, and after removing wraps were greeted by the hostess, who was resplendent in a black lace over a lem¬ on-colored satin, and carried in her hand an Immense bunch of yellow roses.
After greeting each guest the host¬ ess asked her to "ttke her lemon to the dining-room and register." The dining-room was a blaze of goldon light from tiny fairy lamps with yel¬ low shades. The dining table had U-mon-colored silk napery, which was relieved by a flat centerpiece of doli- oato ferns and Catherine Mermet roses. At a side table sat a lady and gentleman, who, all were informed, composed the "Squeezing Committee.** This committee took the name dU a register, and tied a ribbon, marked in 0Uch a way as to be distinguishable, on each lemon. After the arrival of all the guests and the marking of all the lemons, they were invited to again assemble in the dining-room while the •'Squeezing Committee" counted tho eoeds." Each lemon was cut in half, tbe seeds extracted, and, after being counted and duly accredited to tho owner on the register, they wero placed in a beautiful transparent glosa bowL The lemon was taken by tho ••Squeezing Committee" and **8quoze" into an immense punch-bowL Tho guests were then invited to a repast of strictly lemon-made edibles—lemon Joe, lemon Ice-cream, lemon cake, lemon jelly, sardines and lemon, lem¬ on-cream pie, and every conceivable sort of lemon-fliivored food. Placed beside each plate was a bunch of yel¬ low roses, tied with a satin bow of tho Bame shade.
After partaking of this unique re¬ past, the glass bowl containing tho Seeds was placed on the table and a prize offered to her who should guess the number of seeds therein, and a  •booby prizo" to him who should hazard the least accurate guess. After numerous method.^ both fair and foul, had been resorted to, and each "guess" had been duly registered, tho eeeds wore counted and the prizes awarded. The winner of the grand prize, coming within three of the cor¬ rect number, received an exquisite iemon-colored glass lemonade bowl, while the "booby" was made happy with a wooden lemon-squeezer. A prize was then awarded to her whose lemon contained the most seeds, and another to her who had the fewest. Meanwhile, skillful hands had pre¬ pared a punch in the large bowl into which the lemons were squeezed.— Washington Letter.
NATURAL   TIME-KEEPERS.
How the Natives of Madafr^aear Measure the I'roKresH ot Time.
Clocks and watches are still rare &(nong the people of Madagascar. Time is marked either by the more regular incidents of daily life, or by the points reached by the sun's rays in different parts of the house through the day, a method which reminds ono of the dials in use among the Greeks and Romans. The othor method has aU the charm of the shepherd's cal¬ endars.

The Pension Question.
Media's Mepioriul Day was doubly hon¬ ored by the grand parade of the Grand Army, the Stildiery, civic societies, school children, and iit the evening by the oration of Colonel A. K. McClure. This gentleman wa.s thoroughly known to the audience, but his presence drew to the Court Iiouse many more than could get into ii3 dourH'ays. Tlie address paid a most eloquent tribute to the (J i and Army, delivered with tlie easy, off hand way of the orator, and in a voice as sweet and clear as when it rang through the Senate cliamber lirteen yeuis ago. The closing remarks attracted do.'ie attention and much subsequent discussion.
The pension measure framed by the leading ollicers of the Vr. A. 11. will, in the oi)iiiion of Colonel McClure, add a thousand millious lo the pension expenses, and fully two hundred millions the fust year. Il this estimate is correct it would bankrupt the National Treasury, and, in tbeopiuion of thespeaker,put thesoldiers of the Republic in the attitude of mend¬ icants or hirelings. For more than half *cin hour he discussed this pension ques- ion,anQ while favoring increased pensions to the dependant and deserving, pleaded for a generous and an honest system, and one within the ability of the government to foster and improve. The speaker could not be suspected of partisan bias, for his advocacy of eveu greater liberality to the deserving removed all such thoughts, and it was because of this that the audience warmly applauded his remarks.
If his estimates are correct, or if they appioximate the amount, then his points are well taken, and the bill which is framed lo receive the indorsment of the Grand Aimy should be so guarded as to prevent abu.se and to guard against impracticable and impossible appropriations. We are uot familiar with the proposed measure, but if it is introduced we shall take some trouble to ascertain if the eloquent cri¬ ticisms of Colonel McClure are justilied. If they are, the measure will not receive either the indorsements of the Grand Army or of a Republican Congress or President—all of them wedded to liberal treatment of the soldiers, bnt none of them committed to a policy which will seek to lavish government money upon such as do not need it.—3Iedia ximerican, June 4
A Columbia, S. C, dispatch says; "Since cock-figliting has been suppressed in this State, the sporting men have been endeavoring to create some suitable amusement to take its place. It seems tliat tlie law-makers, never having con¬ templated such a thing as bull-lighting, made no provision for its prevention . Now comes an advertisment of a bull- tight to take place in Florence, a new county. This is to be tlie festival in honor of its creation. Fifteen bulls from North Carolina and a like number from Ihis State will participate. Fifty dollars is to be awarded the winner in each hght, and the side or State which wins the greatest number of tights is to receive a purse of $500. July 24 and 25 are the days set for the fights."
