A MISSING BRIDEGROOM.
“Jake don’t laugh no more,” said Ella, at
the dish washing.
“No," said Ellen, solemnly, “folks as is
crossed in love carn’t laugh, yer know."
It was not to be wondered at that a gloom
seemed to be settling over the Ayer domain.
This state of things continued for about a
week, and we were becoming so hardened as
to be able again to enjoy the continued lovely
weather and to think occasionally of some-
thing beside the pal] which Jake had cast over
us. It is doubtles dreadful to be crossed in
love, but life must still go on.
We were discusing this very subject in a
calmly cheerful way, the twins being on an
expedition for chips, when a stranger ap-
peared in the doorway. At my first glance I
was struck with her figure and port. She was
large, she held her head well back, her features
were modeled with the some large freedom,
an eagle nose between well opened, handsome
eyes, a mouth in keeping, she seemed a kind
of rude, uncultured Zenobia. Here was an
opulence of physical power and development
that is rarely met. I had never seen any such
woman before. She was colored, but her
features were not like those belonging to the
negro race.
“I reckondis Mr. Ayer’s place, ain’t it?”
she asked.
When her question had been answered, she
said she reckoned she mought’s well any ter
wunst as she war er lurkin‘ roun’ fur dat no
’count nigger, Long Black Jake.
I immediately felt, as I had not done be-
fore, that Jake must be a man of some conse-
quence to have such a woman as this “lurkin‘
’roun’ ” for him.
Mrs Ayer acknowledged that Jake lived
here, and she added that he had been very low
in his mind of late.
The stranger smiled in agratlfied way at
this remark. Mrs. Ayer asked her to come
in and sit down. She walked across the little
room in a way that made the cabin seem
spacious that it might accommodate this am-
press like being.
“Yes’m,” said she, “I ain’t no ways s’prised
for year asJake’s low. He orter below. I
jes’ bundle him outer my house neck ’n’ crap
when he thar lars’ time. I flung him out wid
dis fist”—-sbe held up a large, handsome hand.
Then she laughed, and her laugh had a ring
in it very unlike the husky, unctuous laugh
which usually belongs to the African. Still
she seemed somewhat anxious. She went on:
“Natch’ly he thought, I reckon, dat our in-
gagement war broke. I don’t hev no doubt
as or gen’l’man think of he are hustled out
widout no ceremony, neck ’n' crap, as de in-
gagement be broke. Dad’s natch’l, ain’t it,
ma’ami"
Mrs. Ayerreplied that she thought it per-
fectly natural for any gentleman, under such
circumstances, to conclude that the engage-
ment was broken.
“And a. few bones, too, perhaps,” said Am-
abel.
The visitor stared at her amoment, then
laughed again. It is veryrareto find the
common negro understand humor in the
least unless it be of the broadest burlesque
kind.
“Dore war apromise ’twixt us,” s 1d the
woman, “but de time I flung him I had
’nother gen’l’mun in view. N ow do other
gen'l’mun done married yisterd’y, an' I’se
come roun’ ter ’gin my p‘omise tor Jake. I
feared I mought git or fall ‘tween two stools
if I warn spry ’bout huntin’ urp Jake, yo'
see, ma’am.”
Certainly she had made her position per-
fectly clear. We wondered how Jake would
like it. She went on to say that she should
simply state to Jake that she made a mistake
“filngin’ him out dat time,” and she was now
ready for “mejit wedlock." She looked out
of the window at the log cabin.
“Dat’s war we gwlne to live, I reckon? l
c’n work fur yo’, Miss Aycr, an’ Jake c’n
work for Mr. Ayer. I ain’t bad no ole man
fur or long time. Gwine on two year sense
my lars’ ole man got tuk urp fur stealin' an‘
war jugged.” -
“Then you have a husband living?" cried
Mrs. Ayer.
“No, ma‘am. Dey say he died in prison. I
ain’t seen him die, but de news was brought
ter me mighty straight, an’ I ain’t gwine ter
'spute sich newsas dat. 'Twouldn’t be safe
fur Bill fer turn urp ’live ergin now. I
reckon Bill know dat; he’ll stay daid, Bill
will. He warn bright, but be bright ’nough
for stay dsid.”
We were absorbed in looking at this
woman, who sat erect and majestic in her
chair as if she were on a throne.
“I call myse’f er widder,” she said, “an’ I
should meek er pint ob havin' er minister
marry us. P’raps yo‘ got dat kindness in yo’
heart dat yo’ll let us hab do wedding hynr in
dis house. Yo’ see, I done give urp my room
in Asheville dis mawnin’ an' had my things
moved to er cousin’s. 1 war some back in my
rent, an’ some folks ain’t no consideration fur
erladyasisbackinherrent. DaramJake
now.” I
She was looking through the doorway as
she spoke. She rose. Jake’s long, drawn.
out countenance changed to a look of wonder
and then delight.
“Gawdermigbty 1” he cried out, “is dat yo‘,
Sally! Hab yo’ come ter meek urp wip me,
Sally?"
Sally was quite dignified. She allowed him
to shake hands with her. He hastened to say
he “hoped she’d ’scuse him fur ’bligin her for
trow him ou' do do’ dad las’ time he visited
her in Asheville.”
They walked toward the log cabin together.
Sally retraced her steps to mention that she
hoped there would be no objection to having
the wedding there, and that she should insist
upon having a real minister. It was not
much more than half an hour before Sally
returned to us and Jake went to the wood
pile and pretended to cut wood, but his ax
flew very much at random and his eyes were
on the house. He could see Sally through
the window. This yellow woman had none
of the negro slowness about her. She was
shrewd, too, in taking her position for
granted. '
"New, Miss Ayer,” she said, standing with
one hand on her hip and the other hanging
down, her whole aspect one of strength and
readiness, “1 Ida rerlieve yo’ of all do hard
work. I’m stronger’n mos’ any man. I kin
do ou’ do’ work or housework. I meek no.
bones er sayin' I kin do or smarter show in er
day dan dat J ake. He’s kinder triflin’, be is.
But l’ll:tend for him. I ain‘t had no old man
to train in some time. I‘ll train him. Yo’ll
see he toe de mark. I kin do all do washin‘
an' cookin’. J es' like’s not yo’ll let me bah er
few mo’ things in de cabin; on’y er few mo‘,
mock us mighty com’f’ble." -
I think Mrs. Ayer must have felt as i did
that to have Sally tothe fore in regard to
work would be to have a host. I never saw
any man or woman who gave such a sense of
effectiveness The very curve of that un-
negro like nose was a sort of guarantee
Mrs. Ayer said she would take Sally.
“Yes’m,” responded Sally promptly, “I’ll
see yo’ ain't sorry for dem words. An’ now,
what time shell we sot. fur do weddin'i Dis
eb‘nin 'bout SI Dat’ll give Jake time bar gwi'
fer Asheville, git or few tings and bring out
der minister. He sh’ll meek or soon start.
Shell we say 8, Miss Ayer?"
That lady laughed and assented. Sally’s
face was very pleasant to see as she said:
“I’ll be grateful for yo’ de longes’ day I lib,
mighty grateful Jake sb’ll be sent 012 ‘n no
time.” i
It was true. Jake was seen going down
the mountain toward the State road for
Asheville in less than five minutes He was
walking. It is not much for these people to
walk six miles, or ten or twenty. Sally had
just walked out from the town.
Having set things “er gwine," as she said,
she took off her white apron and her sun
bonnet. The removal of the latter showed
her thick, waving hair, with its threads of
gray. She twisted a handkerchief round her
head, pinned up her skirts and began setting
to rights the log cabin Where she was to live.
She told Mrs. Ayer she would prepare the
dinner in her own cabin and bring it down to
us. She averred she was a. ”sure enough
cook," and the dinner, of chicken and pane,
and tomato okra soup and baked sweet pota-
toes, was served in such a. way as to prove
her words true. Nothing seems to fatigue
her. She worked like a lion, only i believe
lions do not work. She strode around, and
“made things kinder whiz,” the twins said. ,
Just before sundown she came to Mrs
Ayer and said she believed all was ready. She
had brought a bundle with her from Ashe
ville. She had a pink cambric, the one “she’d
ban married in de las’ time. She had kep’ it
30’s she reckoned it would do ter be married
in ergin; of she could on'y hev er flower pot
for bold in her hand. She behaved it was or
good sign for de bride ter hev or flower pot.
She hadn’t had none when she married Bill.”
It turned out that by a. flower pot she meant
a bouquet. ' .
Havingsaid this, she walked out with her
grand step and- left us to pinch the. few
chrysanthemums there were left bloom~
ing in the little wooden . box at one
of the windows. The sight of them
had PPObably her bouquet to
her. I have never yet seen any mmberof

She retired‘to her prospective dwelling
soon after 7 o’clock, and’wh‘en she reappeared
she was in the pink cambric. If anything
could have made her look like a. common yel-
Jake never’d cleaned
.ow woman this would have done so. But
her noble physique dominated even over the
tawdry finery. As Amabel remarked, J ake's
betrothed could not be other than a kind of
Semiramis or Boadicea, or “that sort of a
person, you know.” ' ‘
As the clock ticked on and no Jake ap-
peared, we became quite nervous with anxiety
as we waited with the bride in the green be-
decked room. Sally still insisted that Jake
had probably once secured the minister, but
had afterward “lost him.” She seemed to
think that a minister might be lost something
like a thimble or a jack knife.
When it lacked but a quarter to 8 even Mr.
Ayer could not pretend to read his'paper any
more. Ten minutes later and Sally was
quite rigid in her gay gown, sitting in the
back of the room. Whenthe twins were not
running into the house to announce that-they
had been listening and couldn’t bear naw-
thin’, they were dashing out to listen. Once
I Went to the stoop. There was not a sound,
save the mysterious mountain sounds. There
was a faint glow behind Busbee. showing
where the moon was.
Ristus was standing on the stoop. He had
been invited to remain and witness the cere-
mony. Ole Pink’s baby was asleep on our
bed. He expressed great sympathy for Sal~
ly. He said it must be jist awful for be mar-
rit, but it must be awfuller ter think yer
gwine ter be marrit, and then not be marrit
arfter all. He ofifered to go out looking for
Jake.
Sally had come to the door and overheard
this last remark. She said we‘might leave
Jake to her. There was that in her voice
and manner that made us all well content
that J ako should be left to her.
After this time seemed to fly. It became 9
o’clock very soon. Mr. Ayer kept piling the
wood on the fire, and the flames made the
green festoons look very lovely; but what
was their loveliness but a mockery? We were
part'of a bridal party, with a missing groom.
We almost felt as if we were portions of an
illustrated sensational story. lnvoluntarily
I began to make headings for chapters—I
compom some extremely good headings.
The clock struck 10. I asked Mr. Ayerin
a whisper what he thought was the matter.
He said he thought the matter was that Jake
had got drunk in Asbeville and would not be
able to get out of that city before the next
day. He further said that sometimes Jake
took a glass, and if he took one he always
took a great many more.
At 11 o’clock Sally rose and went out with-
out speaking. Ristus took the baby and de
parted in the moonlight for the hovel where
he lived. '
In a few minutes Sally returned in her old
dress. She had a large, thick comforter in
her arms. She asked permission to ”wrap It
’bout her an’ lay” on our floor.
So we all retired. The dogs were evidently,
greatly confused that, after all this prepara-
tion, nothing had happened—New York Tri-
bune.

Bit of Character from the ne-
V: cord of a Police Court. . '
If you were a sergeant at the desk of the
Central station you, too, would seem grim
and hard hearted toau outsider. They see
so much crime—they see so many phases of
it—they hear the same excuses over and over
untilthey seem to lose all faithin andall
hope for those who sin. Their hearts grow
hardened, the wellsprings of mercy dry up,
and you seeno pity in their glances And
yet it needs but a sentiment to break through
the crust.
The other night a woman was brought in
staggering drunk. She had a face that was
pinched and drawn, and it was plainthat
worry and hunger made her look years older
than she was. You and I would have looked
Into her face and said that she, had some ex—

cuso for temporarily seeking to forget her ,
Identity. Tho grim old sergeant only saw an
Infraction of the law, and he frowned upon
her as she stood clutching the desk.
Here was a. living book which recorded
twenty years of worry, suffering, heartaches,
Yoverty, woe and want, but he refused to
.. the pages. He had no curiosity; he had
no pity.
“Name!” he sharply demanded.
She gave it.
"What have you got in that parcel?"
“I’ll never give it up!” she exclaimed.
It was something wrapped in an old hand-
kerchief, and she clung to it the tighter. You
and I would have wondered if it wasn’t a. bit
of money she had there, but the sergeant
thought of poison or some other danger and
ordered it handed up. It took two manic
release her grasp, and when the parcel. was
undone, what do you suppose they found in
it? A wee little stocking, such as a child a
.couple of years old might wear. The big toe
of the wearer had made a hole, and the heel
had been worn thin, and the bright red
color had faded away, as the glow fades from
the summer sky when the twilight comes
down. .
The sergeant held it up—not in mockery
and ridicule—but as if it were a tender thing.
The grimness went out of his face, a softness
replaced the frown, and, as the woman bent
her head and sobbcd, he said: ,
“It is arelic of her dead childl Poor, un-
fortunate mother I” '
“You won’t take it from me 3” she gasped.
“Not for the world! Can you go home?".
“I—I guess so. I feel stronger.” . . . -'
“Then go, and may all men and women be
merciful to you.” ' ‘ ' ‘
The spring of mercy had been touched. As
the grim old sergeant held up that faded
stocking he remembered that he had relics at
bome—relicsof children who had danced on
his knee in the sunshine of the past, but who
now moldered in the dust. Not for all the
money in the world would he have brought
one more burden to that soul.—De.troit Free

Murphy’s Bucking Experience. _
Dan Murphy, one of the oldest of St. Louis’
duck hunters, tells the followingsfrog story:
“One day early last October I went to Bluff
lake for my fall hunt. Late one moonlight
night I saw what I thought one thousand or
more wood ducks sitting on a sycamore tree.
It occurred to me that if I shot a duck before
Oct. 15 I‘would violate the law. While study-
ing whether or, not to violate, the whole
crowd suddenly flew up and over me. I shot
two barrels and two lnore, and a dozen fell
right around me. Fearing some constable
might have heard the shot, I squatted right
in the marsh for fifteen minutes, when, hear-
ing nothing, I gathered up my ducks, and 101
they were crows. I sat down and howled.
Then I swore I would get a dozen wood ducks
if I had to stay there all night. A few min-
utes after the moon went down a thou-
sand frogs suddenly sprang forth and
began their confounded monotonous chant.
I had no meat in camp, and half a dozen
times started to shoot alness, but refrained
to save my shells for ducks. Along about
morning one came sailing down to my right.
I didn’t hit it. Then two came to my left. I
hit both and then five drove at my head and
I got them. Then they began coming so fast
that they took my hat off, and I slaughtered
them until my shells were exhausted. But
the rascals all crawled under the marsh grass
and got away while I was shooting more. I
went to the camp as mad as shatter. I made
a long frog gig, took a. new supply of shells,
and started back early the following morn-
ing. I just got among the frogs again when
the ducks came. I shot all my shells away.
and again got nothing. Besides, the frogs
bad all disappeared. Along came the ducks
right at me. Finally, they were coming so
thick that I had to blaze at one with the gig.
Sure, to my surprise, I glgged one. I put it
in my pocket, when two came along, and I
giggcd them and put them in my pocket. I
kept on till I had a .fine bag.”—St. Louis
Telegram.
A Disturbing “Dodger."
One of the enterprising clothing dealers last
week sent broadcast “ odgers” headed in big
black letters, “Do you wear pants?" It is
said that the little advertising device was the
cause of considerable consternation among
the lady bonrdersin a large St. Paul boarding
house. One of the young men took a number
of copies to the house when he went to dinner
and laid them on the plates on the dining
table where the young lady boarders were
accustomed to sit. When the young ladies
came into the dining room, they found the
peculiar query, “Do you wear pants?” staring
them in the face, In big black letters. The
effect was various, according to the tempera-
ments and training of the individual young
ladies. Some of them giggled and consid-
ered it a good joke; others blushed and said
nothing; several were indignant and scolded
terribly about what they considered a gratu-
itous insult; while two or three went away
and found another boarding house, A mar»
ried lady who bore a general reputation for
iordlng it over her husband took it into her
head that “hubby" had furnished the one she
found on her plate, and that it w intended

As long ago as 1672 this peculiar variety of
cerebral affection was observed, but until
fifteen years ago it was rare and had notbeen'
so closely studied, accurately defined and'thej
knowledge conCernihg it so systematizedas
now. Within ten years it has constantly and
with alarming. rapidity manned ._ 111,th
united States, minnow it is notto‘o much
say that it is ournational terror. In, no;
other part or the world is it so frequent. And
its blight is most apt to fell upon those who
are brightest, most mentally active. Stupid
people have little reason to fear it, if they
keep sober, nor have women. Not one, per
cent. of the cases are those of females. {'I‘lioé
average woman does not dangerouslybufslii

petition, rapid life and over excitation of
brain and nerves common to American exist-
ence, do so—and invite paresis.
Dr, Allan McLaneHamilton, whois recogg
nixedas one of the highest authorities lupon"
mental diseases in this country, when con-
sulted a few days ago upon the subject of
paresis, for the purpose of this article, said:
“I‘ see a great deal of it, in various asylums‘
and institutions, as well as in my private
ractice, and recognize the fact that it has
een, during ten years past, steadily and
alarmingly increasing. It is a disease inci-
dent to the rapid life of this country. Ina.
majority of cases it is directly dependent
upon vice and not upon actual overwork
alone. It is the fashion nowadays to call all
forms of structural disease of the brain, with
mental disturbance, ‘gencral paresis,’ but the
general name, dementia. paralytica, is the
proper term. As a rule the disease attacks
persons who are primarily dissipated, and
with that dissipation have a certain amount,
probably excessive, of irregular mental work.
Nearly always it begins with some depression,
despondency, or, very often, hypochondriasis.
After the period of depression, which lasts
fora variable time, ensues extravagance of
ideas, which isan important feature of the
disease.
FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS.
“The so called ‘illusions of grandeur’ now
entertained are of the most. extravagant
character, the victims having vast confidence
. in their own powers. Some of them claim
to possess the entire wealth of the world and
——more or less governed by this delusion—
givo away presents most extravagantly,
spend their money in the most reckless way
and cherish the wildest schemes. Others
believe that they are specially appointed by
God to perform tremendous deeds, or achieve
great things, such as the establishment of
new faiths, or the founding of new orders,
and deem themselves endowed with the
power of working miracles. Their schemes
are always colossal. The character of Cal-
onel Sellers is simply an example of modified
paresis. His eye water scheme is distinct-
ively that. Another notable fact is that
these vast illusions are meant for the good of
humanity; that those cherishing them desire
to be great benefactors, and they are fond of
conferring imaginary honors and gi‘hndim
titles... , . « _ ._.', a . 23', a:

The Senmy Side of the Purple.
‘ “The Empress Frederick," writes to me
one of her set—a member of the consular ser-
vice and an artis “is perhaps the saddest
woman alive. She loved her husband; she
loved power, because she has inahigb de—
gree the political faculty and is endowed with
a mind which sees things wholesale rather
than in detail, and she is a proud woman, in
the best sense of the word. Her husband and
the throne, for which she had carefully edu-
cated herself, have been taken from her.
The misery of worldly greatness was im-
pressed upon her in the most cruel object
lessons with which .Providenco .was' ever
pleased to‘iteach a human being. Hcr’ pride
received sore rubs during the greater
part of her married life. But it was
buffeted with during her short and unhappy
occupancy of the imperial throne, and was
trampled upon in the early days of her widow-
hood. She only wascsteemed as herghus,
band’s wife. ,As a woman she was held-of no
ndcohntlxacause her sex is despised in Prussia.
This was a great affliction to the eldest daugh-
ter of Queen Victoria, who when the Empress
Frederick was a child filled perhaps the
greatest position that there was in the world.
None of her daughters have her mind. They
are kindly and well disposed and dutiful
toward their mother, but not: in touch With
her. Being obliged to quit the palace in
which she lived at Potsdam with her husband
during thirty years was a. cruel blow to her.
She has become deeply pious. Religion alone
fills her heart. The pa int brush and palette

subjected themselves to anattack of phone

RICH POLITICIANS.
MEN WHO OFFICER NEW YORK,
AND WHAT THEY SCHEDULE.
Fortunes Made In Iron—Wives Who Have
Brought largo Bank Accounts—Levi P.
Morton the Wealthicst New York Poli-
tician—No Money Made in Politics.
The wealth of politicians, or of those who
hold public office, is a subject of frequent
speculation. Many men who figure prom-
inently before the public are put down as
wealthy, chiefly because they dress well and
spend money liberally, when it is well known
to their intimate friends that they would not
be worth a penny in the wide world if their
debts were paid. 011 the other hand, there
are scores of politicians, in and out of ofilce,
who are comparatively well off in the world‘s
goods and yet are not popularly supposed to
be worth much money.
Most of the men of wealth in local politics
since the overthrow of Tweed’s ring, in 1871,
acquired their means in private businem en-
tirely aside from politics. A few contract-
orsprobably furnish the only exceptions to
the rule.
rs'rnn coornn’s nuns.
Abram S. Hewitt and Edward Cooper,
present and past mayors, are beyond ques-
tion the two wealthiest men who have held
public ofilce in this city since Tweed’s day.
Their great wealth was inherited from the
late Peter Cooper, their individual fortunes
having been many times added to by enor-
mous iron and other business interests.
One of the old school of local politicians
who were active in politics. before the days of
the civil war and since its close, ex-Senutor
John Fox is probably one "of the wealthiest.
His fortune is estimated at upward of $700,-
000, the bulk of which was acquired in the
iron business and fortunate invettments which
he made in real'estate.
Ex-Sherifl Bernard Reilly came here in his
youth from Ireland, settled in the Sevem
teenth ward, then known as Mackerelville,
and has ever since lived there. He learned
the trade of a carpenter, and nearly forty
years ago opened his first liquor store on
First avenue He has always been a power
in the Tammany party of that ward. He in-
vested largely in real estate, chiefly in tene-
ment property, and is reputed to be worth
$000,000.
Ex-Congressman Nicholas Muller has made
and spent a couple of fair sized fortunes.
They were made in his business of selling rail-
road tickets in the Castle Garden agency for
sending immigrants west, but the money was,
spent in politics and charity with a lavish
hand. Mr. Muller says he has had his fill ,of
political experience, and now be has settled
downon Staten Island on a beautiful estate
to enjoy the comforts brought by a third
fortune, earned as the general eastern penan-
ger-a'gent of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad. »
Ex-Alderman Jordan L. Mott is counted all
worth upward of $1,500,000, which he ac-
quired in his extensive iron business. He has
for'many’years'taken‘an active‘part in“ poli-
tics, but at considerable financial cost. He
lives in a mansion on upper Fifth agenue,
which the late_Ring Controller 31ch ,B.
Connolly built for himself at a cost of nearly
olice Commissioner Cherish-38'.

wido of lithe” late Park Comnii‘ssioner Elli-
iamJOlliife, «from whose estate . shelnherl '

Ex-Alderman John W. Jacobite“, _,w . ’
been thrice defeated for county offices, is
worth about 3100,”, all made .in, business.
He carries onen eitemive trucking business.
The depomd, _, 3; Republiian 5’ loader of the
' Eighthdistrict, John J. O’Brien, is by many
thought to be quite well oi! in a pecuniary
sense, but it is not a well founded impression.
Mr. O’Brien has his salary of $5,000 a. year as
chief of the bureau of-electionsand is said to
be well loadedjipi'wlthoible railroad stock,
which has no. known marketv'a'liie 'at present.
Mr. O‘Brien" hasmn'doubtedlvmade a good
deal of money by reason of his politicalcon-
nections, but little of it has remained by
him, his friends claiming that all of it has
been spent “fertile good «lithe pair‘s”
John Reillytthe Tammany leader of the
Fourteenthdistrict, his made a considerable
fortune, which is placed in t'judicions real es-
tate investments in improved property. Mr.
Reilly is" believed to be worth close upon
$500,000- . _ .

Mayor-elect Grant inherited a fortune of
about empow- which his.,own energy has
largely increased; It is said that he-will start
ed as mayor of the metropolis with at least
$500,000 to his credit. ' .
Judge P. Henry Dugro, of the superior
court, is undoubtedly the wealthiest young
politician in the city, but he made no part of
his fortune in politics beyond his salary as
member ., of assembly, congressman and
judge. His father, the late Anthony Dugro,
who was one of the old board of ten govern-
ors, as the nlmshouse commissioners were
termed before the board of charities and cor-
rection'was formed, left him, as his share of
an estate, upward of $1,000,000. This fortune
has since been more than doubled by lucky
real estateinvestments. ; . ’ -- 3;» ». 21:5,

How Paducah Was Named.
The city of Paducah, Ky., has, I notice,
been coming to the 'front recently, and con-
siderable has‘been printed in the newspapers
concerning the place. In a recently published
article" an attempt was made to give a history
of the city, and the writer, lacking informa-
tion as to the origin of the name, fell back on
that most convenient makeshift, “an old In-
dian chief.” Now, there may have been an
Indian chief with a name similarto Paducab,
but old time river men have an altogether
different idea of the origin of the name. It
Is this:
When steamboats first - began navigating
the Ohio river they depended on wood for
fuel, and wood yards were located at conven-
ient points. One of these wood yards was
located at the mouth of the Tennessee river
by an ' Irishman named Patrick Dugan. Of
course be was commonly called Pat Duguu.
Pat Dugan’s wood yard and the few shanties
occupied by himself and his woodchoppers
eventually grew to a thriving city, and what
more natural than that the original name
should be retained, and. Paducah is a very
natural corruption of the ancient and heme-
able name, Patrick Dugau—Steambout Mate

Dog Farms.
In Manchuria and Mongolia a young
woman’s wedding portion consists not always
of so many head of cattle, but frequently of
so many dogs, which are to form the nucleus
of a dog farm, these being reared for the
sake of the thick for with which the dogs in
these bitterly cold regions are so excellently
endowed,” indeed they need to be, seeing
that in midwinter the thermometer (Fahren-
heit) sometimes fails to 25 deg. below zero, 1.
.e., 57 dog. of frost. This business is assys-
tematically carried on as- is that of sheep
farming in Australasia, the rate of reproduc-
tion being estimated at 10 per cent. [:;r 1111-

rical ratio, it is evident that the bride .110
receives a dower of a dozen of these
very large, long haired dogs is well
started in life. But of course the ma-
jority of these fine animals are not destined
tosurvive their first year, as they are full
grown when about Bmonths old, and their
for attains perfection in winter, so that only
them required for breeding are allowed to
soothe spring. ' All overthe northern part
of these vast Mongolian and Manchurian ter-
ritories these dog farmsaro scattered, and
there are thousands in which a few hundred
dogs are annually reared for the market,
while others merely rain enough to supply
robes and mate for home use. There are a.
good many cases in which one can scarcely
afford tothink of antecedents, and certamly
this slaughter of perhaps the handsomest
race of dogs in the world for the sake of their
costs is peculiarly unpleasant—Blackwood’l
Magazine.
Inherited Peculiar-Riel.
“A Mother” writes, giving an interesting
case of inherited peculiarity, which, although
it does not come precisely within the cate-
gory of transmimion of an artificial injury, is
yet worth recdrding, if only to prove how
trivial marks of parents may reappear in the
ofl’spring. Her first child, a boy, at pram
aged 21 months, was men, shortly after birth,
to pom two small holes, each about the sin
ofnpin’s head, in “theupperpartof enchof
his ears.” The mother‘- attention waadrawu
to the peculiarity by her husband, who re-
marked tbe fact (of which till then she was
compleme ignorant), that he passed the
some marks, situated In precisely the same
position, astheyoccupiedinhisson. Further
inquiry amongst the relatives showed that
thechild’s grandfather (on the paternal side)
posessed the same tyof ears. No
information could be obtained respecting the
original cause of the peculiarity. It Is
striking to find such markings, not onlyso
faithfully propagated, but descending strictly
on the male side for three generations. There
is no trace of the marks in the second child—
a girl—of the family-Herald of Health.
Lining the Hat.
Lifting the hat is a custom that had a mili-
tary origin, it is said. In olden times soldiers
were helmets to protect their heads from as-
saults by the sword or battle axe, and to re
move this head covering was to show con-
fidence in the man to whom the salute was
extended. No gentleman was expected to
split a man’s head open after this mark of
trustfulnem, though he was sometimes treach-
erous enough to do so. To lift the hat grace-
fully is co'nsiderable of an acquirement, rc-
quiring long practice. There is a man in
New York who has become such an adept at
it that he can lift half a dozen hats at a time,
if he can sneak into a hallway while the folks
are at dinner.—Texas Siftings.
A Countess a Factory Girl No .
This is what we are coming to. One day a
young and pretty girl came to a magistrate
in ntown in Austria, demanding the regula-
tion Dienstbucb into which the particulars
about the antecedents of any one in search of
work areentered, the booklet having to be
shown to employers on application for can—
ployment. On looking through the girl’s
papers the magistrate found that his fair a
plicant was Melanie Countem Keglevi ,
born at Presburg, in 1874. As her papers
were in good order, the booklet was handed
over to the young countess, and her ladyship
isat present earning her living u a factory
girl—Pall Mall Gazette.
Something Needed.
The last six months’ experience with air
brakes on freight trains has shown conclu-
sively that we must have leg slack between
the cars, and that the master car builders’
coupler will soon have an opportunity of
showing what it is worth. This opportunity
will arise from the fact that railway comply
nies who have had experience with air brakes
on their freight trains in connection with a
link and pin coupler feel compelled, by reason
of the serious breakages, to use some sort of a
close connected coupler. Something must be
done to reduce the slack between cars or fast
freight service will become an impossibility.

Those Who Have [feigned Longest.
Among the living sovereigns mentioned in
the new “Almanach de Goths” those who
have reigned longest are the emperor of
Brazil, who ascended the throne in 1831, at
the age of 6', Queen Victoria, in 1387, and
Duke Ernst, of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, crowned
in 1844. The oldest sovereign is Pope Leo
XIII, who is 78 years old; the youngest is the
king of Spain, not yet 3. '—Chicago Times.
Mrs. Oliphaut.
Mrs. Margaret Wilson Oliphant, the novel-
ist, better knbwn simply as Mrs. Oliphant, is
now 60 years of age. She makes her home in
the town of Windsor, adjoining Queen Vic
toria’s favorite palace. The fact that she is
a Scotch woman has made her quite a favor
it: of the queen, who reads all her novels and
takes every occasion to praise their healthy,
moral tone. ,

Wants the Inside Track.
A .lady has been arrested in Atlanta for
wanting the inside of the sidewalk. She not
only wants it, but she gets it, whenever she
goes out to walk. One man who refused to
yield to her demand had his whiskers pulled
and his bat knocked OE, and countlu scores
of men have been pushed into the ditch. The
lady says she will have the inside track if she
has to fight for it until she dies—Cincinnati

Music Everywhere.
Music boxes are now displayed in Chestnut
street windows that are set in decanters, ink-
stands, work baskets and ever so many more
clever deeeptions, so that a lady visitor may
suddenly hear “Twickenham Ferry" ringing
apparently from Mrs. Dorcas’ thimble, or a
sociable caller be astounded to hear “Comin'
Through the Bye” emerging from the bottle
that Is passed. The decanters hold liquorand
begin to play when the stopple is removed.~
