communication which BAT*:
I want every person who reads this to
understand that it is tlie plain, nti
varmshed truth. Being natural, 1 should
mmmenoe with children's dreams. Of
course they are more foolish ami harder
to understand than grown poisons' on
account of the immaturity of their
minds; nevertheless, they have a deep
meaning. My dreams wort* always hints,
or, more properly, significant of the
future. My oldeat mater a-as swan* of
this. and ofleu asked me whst I dreamed.
I told her 1 dreamed brother came home
and left his bones. She seemed excited,
and sat down and undo lxim a letter,
tolling him to ootne homo immediately,
as some groat danger threotomvl hint.
Ho replied to lier letter, made light of
her warning, and ended by sayiug that
was some of her "old woman's notions.'
Mark what followed. In about six weeks
he was brought home a oorjise, being
greatly reduced iu fiesh. having died of
typhus fever. I will relate another
child's dream. A little boy. four year*
old, dreamed he went into a certain
room, and saw a man's head lying
on the fioor. Some time after a man
died in the same room after a lingering
illness.
The dreams qf some person* are not
reliable. Tersons having w*ak miuds
and crooked wavs could uot be exjxvteii
to dream straigiit. The general unbelief
in dreams comes mainly from this cause.
When wi moveii to Illiuois my huslautd
wiaheil to purchase a span of horses.
The result was, old nags, in various
stages of decay, were brought and rep
resented as sound aud witliout blemish.
In every instauiv I detected aliat ailed
them, "and tlievr peculiar trait*. To
make a long story short, 1 will merely
relate one dream. 1 imagined myself
sitting in the house, when a woman en
tered without ceremonv. She held her
head slightly bach, and I noticed wrin
kle® extending from her ears to her
eves, whieli gave her a look of great
suffering. I asked her what ailed her.
She said: " I have been afflicted with a
Cin in the hack of my neck. 1 hey
ve rubbed all kiuds of strong Muff on
it, but uothiug does it any good. " She
said a great deal which is not ueeeaaary
, to mention. The next day about noon a
man drove up to the gate with a span of
mares, which he wished to sell for $l5O
apiece. My husband examined tliem,
and could see uothiug amiss, but said he
would not take them until I looked at
them. As I walked from the house to
the gate, I noticed one of the marcs held
her head back, had her ears cropped,
and also wrinkles extending from her
ears to her eyes. I bid the man the
time of day, and then said: " There is
something the matter with that off
mare." As soon as I said that he gave
a sudden start, as though something hail
bit him I felt certain I had hit the
nail on the head, so I said: " Husband,
go around and loose the collar and see
if there is not something the matter
with the hack of her neck." As soon as
he touched the harness she kicked like
vengeance. At this the man seemed to
recover from his fright,and said: " Oh,
don't do that! I have been rubbing
strong stuff on her neck, and she is
afraid you are going to rub some on."
After the collar was removed it was
evident she had an incurable disease;
and her neck was minus a pound of
flesh
A South African Snake.
Wo take the following exciting episode
from a work called "A Year's House
keeping in South Africa
Hard-by this camp a keen sportsman
was lately pursuing a buck. He hail no
dogs except a pet Skye terrier to help in
the chase, nothing but his pony and rifle
and a trusty Kaffir ; yet the hard-pressed
buck had to dash into a small solitary
patch of the thorny scrub for shelter and
a moment's rest. In an instant the
hnnter was off his pony, and hail sent
the Kaffir into the bush to drive out the
buck, that he might have a shot the
moment it emerged from the cover. In
stead of the expected buck, however—
I must tell you the story never states
what became of him—came loud cries in
Kaffir from the scrub of "Oh, my
mother ! oh, mv father ! oh, my friends
and relations! I die, I die!" The master,
much astonished, peeped as well as he
could into the little patch of tangled
briers and boshes, and there he saw his
Kaffir stooping motionless beneath a low
branch around which was coiled a large
and venomous snake.
The creature had struck at the man's
head as he crept beneath, and its forked
tongue bad got firmly embedded in the
Kaffir's woolly pate. The wretched
beater dared not stir an inch, he dared
not even pnt out his hands to free him
self, but there he remained, motionless
and despairing, ottering these load
shrieks. His master bade him stay per
fectly still, and taking close aim at the
snake's body fired and blew it in two. He
then, with a dexterous jerk, disentangled
the barbed tongue, and flung the quiver
ing head and neck outside the bushes.
Here comes the only marvelous part of
the story. " How did he know it was a
poisonous snake ?" I asked. " Oh,
well; the little dog ran up to play with
the head, and the snake, or rather the
half snake, stmck eat at it, bit it in the
paw and it died in ten minutes."
The 44 Big Horn" Heroes.
General Schofield explains the reason
■why the Custer obsequies have been de
layed until October. A. consultation be
tween him and Mrs. Caster took place,
when they took into consideration
the fact that at this particular
time many of the officers of the post
are away on a furlough, and as nearly
all of them were old arm} friend's
of the dead general, it was deemed wise
to postpone the fnneral respects due to
thg memory of the d< oeased until some
time in October. This will also give his
old army friemls abroad an opportunity
to participate in the solemn exercise*.
This conclusion was made known to the
intimate friends of the family when Mr*.
Custer left West Point for New York.
In the meantime the body will remain
in the vanlt of the Pough'keepsie ceme
tery. A dispatch from Leavenworth,
Kansas, says: The bodies of Captain
George W. Yates, Captain Thomas W.
Custer, Lieutenant A. E. Smith, Lieu
tenant James Calhoun and Lieutenant
Donald Mcintosh, of the Seventh cava LBS,
who were killed with General George JC
Caster in the massacre of the Little Big
Horn, on the twenty-fifth of June, 1876,
arrived from Chicago on the morning train,
and were at once taken to Fort Leaven
worth, where they now repose in the
chapel. They will be buried in the
National cemetery. All the commission
ed officers at this post are to act as pall
bearers, and the soldiers are to act as
the funeral escort.
A Submerged City.
A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake of Geneva, Switzerland. A tour
ist having lost his trunk, two divers were
employed to search for it While they
were below water they found what they
supposed to be a viliage, since covered
by the lake. Tkei&etatement led to an
investigation of the spot by the munici
pal authorities, who took measures to as
certain the truth of the extraordinary ac
count of the divers. On covering the
placid surface with oil, these tatter were
able to distinguish the plan of a town,
streets, squares and detached houses
marking the bed of the lake. The ruddy
hue which characterized tlieiu led the
observers to suppose that the buildings
had been oovered with the famous Ver
million cement which was used by the
Celts, Cimbri and the early Gauls. There
are about 200 houses arranged over an
oblong surface, near the middle of which
is a space more open, supposed to have
been used for public assemblages. At
the eastern extremity lies a huge square
tower, which was taken for a rock. A
superficial investigation seems to indi
cate that the construction of these build
ing date from some centuries before our
era. The council of Vaud has decide.!
to have the site of the dwellings enclosed
by a jetty stretching from the laud, and
to drain off the water, so as to bring to
light what promises to bo one of the most
interesting archaeological discoveries of
oar day.

U Cook, who is iu the city, in n remark
ivblc man. He Una nerved under the
Hag* of the Un ted States, tlie Oon
fedamev, Mexico, Austria, Egypt and
Cuba, and in now ou hin way to Mexico
to seek fortune again. He in native of
San Antonio, Texas, His |wit were
German*. In 18M he wan admitted to
the Went Point Academy. He was no
young that hia real age was concealed,
he was not more than fifteen yearn of
age. He graduated iu 1858, wan com
missioned as second lieutenant of the
Second Dragoons, and sent to the fron
tier. He later entered the service of the
Confederate government on the stall of
Stonewall Jackson, whore he was chief
of engineers. After l*<e's surrender he
aoeoiniaied John C. Breokinrnlge to
Europe, hut returned soon afterward,
and entered the Mexican service under
J muvss. .
At the close of the year IStiA lie found
himself in Mexico. Maximilian was on
Ins last legs, and the American free
hi nee felt tio inclination to cuter the UU-
S-rial service. Making his way into
orthern Mexico, he volunteered in
Geo. Ewobixlo'a division in the Liberal
army, and was promoted to the mention
of brevet brigadier general. With the
success of the Liberal army he went to
Europe, offered his services to the Aui
tnan government, was assign ml to aer
vice iu tlie tojographioal engineer de
partment, and went through tlie short
and disastrous campaign which hot to
Austria ard gained U Prussia the cou
trol of tlie German States. In 1887 he
entered the army id the khcdivc of
Egypt. Sixiu after entering the service
hehail a dispute with Gen. Kirby Smith,
which resulted in a duel and his own
resignation. Front Kgvpt he went Fast,
and otreumusvignted toe globe. After
his totir round tlie world, he went to
Cuba, arriving there in July 1888, where
he opened a hotel and eutcred into the
cultivation of tobaixx*. His hotel l>e
carne tlie resort of tlie revolutionists.
Uia synipathica being with tlie patriots,
he was soon au object of snsptcwr., ami
finally his house was burned, ami he
liarely escaped with hia life. He made
his way to the revolutionary army, where
he diil some fighting. He was one of
tlie agents who went to New York to as
sist iu raising funds and munitions of
war. It was his fate to la* one of the
paiwnger* on tlie ill-fated Virgiuius on
her last trip to Cuba, and he was cap
tured with the unfortunate Oupt. Fry
anil lits crew, and taken to Santiago do
Cula. He was led forth with tlie doomed
men of tlie Virgiuius to be shot, and he
would certainly have heeu butchered
with the rest had not Sir Lambtoii Lor
raine, of the British war ship Niobe,
saved his life. He claimed British pro
tection, and was one of the two men on
whom the British commander threw the
English ensign.
Next, a schooner named C. J. L.
Cook was purchased and placed under
hia command. She was loaded with
war materials, and Cook started again
for Cuba. This time he lauded hi* cargo
on the south coast of Cuba, at the base
of the Sierra Maeetre. He remained in
Cuba, and again entered into active ser
vice. It was his misfortune to be cap
tured by Spaniards, who caught him
asleep and disarmed him. Iu the strug
gle he wounded one of tlie Spanish sol
diers, and so enraged the commanding
officer that he had him stripped and
beaten with an iron ramrod until his
back was raw. They than dressed his
1 wounds villi salt, ami imprisoned him
in irons in a filthy dungeon. He was
recognized on his arrival in Havana,
; tried, and sentenced to be hung June 3.
i 1875. On the night before the day set
i for his execution he succeeded, by tlie
| aid of a Tenneeseean, named Adams, in
obtaining a quantity of drugged wine,
with which he drugged his four guards
inside, and obtained the key to his
shackles. He stabbed and killed two
sentries, and made his escape to a
schooner called the Carrie Mayoo, upou
which he was secreted in a hogshead.
Words of Wisdom.
There are some human tongues which
have two sides, like that of certain
quadrupeds, one smooth, the other very
rough.
The passing years drink a portion of
the light from oar eyes, and leave their
traces on oar cheeks, as birds that drink
at lakes leave their footprints on the
margin.
He who writes against the abuses of
the age iu which he lives, must de|>cnd
on the generosity of the few for his
bread, and the malice of the many for his
fame.
Benevolence does not measure its
charities too nicely. The clouds never
send down to ask the grass and plants
below how much they need; they rain
for the relief of their own full bosoms.
If the spring puts forth no blossoms,
in summer there will be no beauty, and
in autumu no fruit. Bo if youth be
trifled away without improvement, riper
years will "he cor temptible, and old age
miserable.
A young girl, scarcely yet awake to
the mysteries of her nature, and flutter
ing over the first demonstrations of love,
is like a child sporting on the rippling
strand of the sea, when a high tide is
about coming in.
He who goes thrungh a land, and
scatters blown roses, may be tracked
next ilav by their withered petels that
strew the ground; but he who goes
through it, and scatters rose seed, a
hundred years after leaves behind him a
land full of fragrance and lieauty for his
monument, and as a heritage for his
daughters and sons.
As there are some faults that have
been termed faults on the right side, so
there are some errors that might be
denominated errors on the safe side.
Thus, we seldom regret having been too
mild, too cautious, or too bumble; but
we ofteu repent having l>eeo too violent,
too precipitate, or too proud.
Good Times Coming.
A speedy return of the good times of
live years ago is predicted by the Toledo
(O.) Blade , which bases its belief on
the immense crop of the year, ami the
well known effects of prosperity among
farmers on general business. It appears
that the crops lieing harvested are the
largest the country ever had. The acre
age of wheat is largely in excess of any
since the settlement of the country, and
the yield per acre is infinitely greater.
Hay is magnificent,and lias been secured
in the very best condition. Corn is now
a certainty. Never was the eve glad
dened with the sight of such fiefds. The
stalks tower gloriously, and the color is
superb. Oats, which Lave l>een a failure
since 1874, will this year yield very much
more than they did then. The /Had'
continues: "We prophesy an imme
diate and decided revival of busmen*.
There have been ' tight times ' for three
years. The farmers have not had money,
uor have they had any way to make it.
* * * This enormons crop, coming
in just at the nick of time, when the
calamities of other nations makes a good
price for it, is the let-up we have been
looking for so anxiously, and waiting for
so patiently. The farmer will in a few
weeks from this have money enough to
pay his debts out of his wheat alone,and
he has his enormons corn, oats and hay
crop for future needs. He will pay the
debts that have been accumulating for
three years, and he will have plenty
with which to get those supplies he has
beeu compelled to do without so long."
The Blue and the Gray.
An interesting fact attending the re
cent outbreak in Louisville, Ky. t which
wits at once followed by the enrollment
of nearly a thousand citizens for the pro
tection of the city, was the service side
by side of ex-Federal and ex-Confeder
ate soldiers. Ex-Secretary Bristow, for
instance, colonel of oue of the Federal
regiments, recruited in Kentucky, stood
■juard with General Basil Duke, John
Morgan's most dashing lieutenant, and
ex-United States Marshal Eli H. Murray,
the youngest brigadier in the Union
army, commanded one of the hastily
mustered commanies, while Major E. A.
Richards, who served under General
Lee, was one of his fellow-officers. Hun
dreds of ex-soldiers of the blue and gray
stood shoulder to shoulder in the ranks.
KANSAS HI 1.1. ON Ml AHI.
Haw He Clrarrrf a I'lal(arm Wkra He HM
l eSar Order#.
The Chicago Ttmrn, in an account of
the strike, says: When one of the hand
some private* of the First regiment was
ordered to kxvp the crowd off the plat
form at one of the depots the other day,
he doubtless thought it wan UIKIIII as
case and peaceful a duty as a soldier
could be called upou to |srform. Kocp
ing the crowd .ill the platform I IVhaw,
w hat was easier t And the young war
rior pranced proudly to the placed assign
ed him, and grasping hia gun tlrmly, to
call general attention to the dangerous
wca|>on. said; " Now, stand back, gentle
men. "
A crowd, uo matter how jmaeeably iu
chned its component nietnlier* mav be,
is a rude, impolite, unfeeling thing.
Friction produce* irritation. The moot
amiable man in the world is gttnerally a
scltlah brute m a crowd. This crowd wan
as obnoxious as any crowd ever is. It
failed in the most exasperating manner
to appreciate the dignity of the young
soldier's position. It alwohltoly seemed
to hist* sight of the fa>*t that he was there
at all. It punched his elbows into hts
rtlts. It trod on his toes. It got huu
somehow inextricably in tied up with hm
gnu AND cross LA-lt ami cartrnlge IMX.
He couldn't tell exactly which was which.
As long as he couldn't keep oil' the crow d
he wiahcd from the dee|*e*t depths of hts
heurt that the crowd would keep off htm.
Ouec iu awhile a piping voice could lie
hear.l coming some* here from the strug
gling mass of head*, ellmws ami aliouldera
saying: " N<iw, gentlemeu, you must
stand liack. I've got order* to keep vou
back."
The train ou which were the regulars,
a hum the crowd ass waiting to six*, ar
rived just as tlie big buniou on tlie sol
dier's left foot had exploded under a
crushing pressure, and just as he was
coiitcuiplaliug the expediency of trying
the effect of a shot into the crowd.
The hardy, aim bronzed vet. runs filed
off the tnuu and fell into hue with mili
tary despatch aud precision. "The
men there dou't seem to mind your guard
much," said tlie captain to one of the
officers of road. "No," tlie latter re
sponded reluctantly.
"Send Kansas llill hen*," said the
captain of the regulars to an orderly.
" Kansas Bill. ' a big mountain-hard
ened Indian fighter, with tawny, strag
gling l>enrd ami long yellow locks, <i la
poets of the Sierras, came forward a
moment afterward and touched his cap.

" Ytias, sir," with mother touch of his
cap.
" Bill, go up then* and keep the cn>wd
off'the platform."
"Yaas, sir."
Kansas Bill hitched up his breeches,
whipped out a bayonet from its sheath
and fastened it ou his gun with more
racket than a company uf militia could
make.
Kansas Bill had been used to rough
wars. He hail fought Indians out West
so long lliat he liad forgotten all the soft
ways he ever knew, if, indeed, he ever
knew any. He ilidu't say, " Now, gen
tlemeu, move off." Oh, no. He said,
ill a course, uncultured voice, "Get out
o' here, get o' here, get out o' here, or
I'll grease mv stieker with ye. Do ye
hear, now? Take that, take that," and
during these ejaculations liegau swinging
that twyouet around Jn such a wild and
utterly reckless manner that tlie mob
rapidly made war for liim. Then he
turned around and gave several depart
ing loafers a savage prod. Then he
grabbed his gun by tlie stock, brought
it to a right-shoulder shift, and when he
had finished tins performance, he shifted
his quid to tlie other side of his mouth,
expeetoratixl gleefully, and hail tlie en
tire platform to himself.
The Sultan's (ondernatlon.
The ring of pashas at Constantinople
have fallen into the habit of shouting
" Russian gold " whenever a fortresa is
captured. There were about a thousand
Turkish soldiers in Sistova, armed with
Martini-Henry rifles, and liavuig some
guns; yet they allowed the Russians to
come leisurely across in large open
barges, and then vacated the place with
out tiring a sliot. The coiuniamlant ex
cuses himself by saying that he hail no
in .-tractions to resist; but it is believed
at Constantinople that his inactivity, like
that of the oonimautlaiit at Anlahan, had
been purchased bv Russian gold. The
saltan was powerfully affected by the
news, and at once summoned the minis
ters to the palsce. He asked them, with
tears in his eyes, how it was that, with
an army of three thousand men at their
command, thev had allowed the Rus
sians to |>aas the Danube in a manner so
disgraceful. The mibisters could only
reply that the affair was in the hands of
the commsuiler-iu-chief, to whom tire
sultan at once dispatched a telegram to
demand an explanation. The reply of
Abdul Kerim. as quoted by a corre
spondent of the London Standard, wns
nearly in the following word : " I lav
seech yotir majesty not to trouble your
self alxtut the } manage of the Russians at
Sistova; it is of no importance. I have
an excellent plan, which will certainly
result in the total defeat of the Russians,
and will prevent any one of those who
have crossed from ever returning alive to
his own country. Only I must beseech
your majesty to permit me to carry out
my plan, and to forbid those gentlemen
in Stamlxm] to hinder my operations."
The saltan, being *erv ill-satisfied with
this reply, telegraphed again for a state
ment of Abdnl Rerun's plans. Alxlul
Kerim, however, iiositively refused to
communicate his plans, and said that the
sultan must either put confidence in
him, or put some one else in his place.
The sultau then declared that he would
himself proceed to Abdnl Rerun's head
quarters to investigate his plans. Upou
this R.-dif Pasha urged the sultan to
send him to Alxlul Kerim, and to await
the result of his report. The oiher
ministers, who were delighted to get rid
of Redif Pasha, even for a short time,
seconded the proposal, much
hesitation the sultau acceded to it.
A Kough*Prartira) Joke.
An English farmer lins recently l>eeu
compiled to pay the costs of a practical
joke. He was sitting in the barroom of
the Grey hound inn one uiglit and taking
his usual tankard of ale, wheu his eye
chanced to fall on the sleeping form of a
man with a long beard. He went to the
fire, and, lighting a piece of paper,
delilierately applied it to the sleeping
man's beard. Thert was a bright, rush
ing flame for a second or two ; the man
sprang to his feet in agony; the ioke
was complete, and the fanner roared in
ecstacy. The unfortnnnte sufferer, who
happened to be the village tailor, knew
tliat the farmer was a man of substan
tial means, and acted accordingly. He
brought an action for $260 damages iu
the Malmesbury county court in due
course. According to the plaintiff's
evidence, his beard was eighteen inches
long when he laid down, after having
some ale. The next thing he remeinlier
ed was his face being on fire, while a
man helped to pnt out the flame. The
defendant ant iu his seat roaring with
laughter, and did not offer any assist
ance nor did he tender any apology for
what he had done. His lips were burned
severely, bis # face wns blistered, bis
lieard, eyebrows, and eyelashes were
burned to the skin, and one eye and one
ear were scorched. The magistrate
awarded him $260 and costs.

All went well for three days, the wutd
being aouthweal ami the nea calm. The
aea then changed to aouthcaat, and It
came ou foggy for four ilava, and con
tinueil foggy up to the time when they
reached the Grand Hank*, aeventeen
day* out. Here a immt fortunate thing
happened for the The
drogue which they bad brought with
them waa found to lie of little use, be
cause it 'was too light. While off the
liaukn tliey saw a keg floating, which
luckily they were able to secure, ('apt.
t'rapo knocked off the iron hoops, ami
with the niuueeanvaa made a new drogue
which answered admirably. When it is
oouaidcred that ut one part if the voyage
they were obliged to lie to for nearly
three days ltl a great gale of wttui, it will
uoed no effort to liuagiue what a fortu
nate acquisition the new drogue was.
After leaving the banks, where they lay
to m a gale for fifteen hours, the weather
improved, and tliey sailed on till the
twenty-first of June, when anotlier gale
waa encounter \ While lying to, the

the offer was made to take them ou

After Una incident tliey encountered a

tug tliat they aurvtveil to tell the story. 1
During the voyage, which occupied
forty-nine days, the rudder broke, but
happily there was a spare oar' ou board,
whieh waa used until tlie first could
be repaired. The scan were runnuig

average sleep while coming across was
umler four hours a dav. Among the
many extraordinary tluuga connected
witli the vovage is that it liad to be ruti

Cleveland, Ohio, his funds, he found,
would only bring one of them to Utah.
His wife stayed there witli friends,
while he came here, went to Provo,
where he found employment with a
bishop of the chnrrh. Money was earn
ed and given to Unghaiu to send tor his
wife. Months passed and no wife came.
Again money was seut, with like result,
until the huslwuid hml m>ut money four
times through the same source. Ite
coming, at last, very murh disgusted,
he announced his intention of going
after his wife, still serving the bishop
until he thought he had funds enough.
Applying forjiis pay just sfter Uie har
vest he was told to go to the stubble
field, where almost evenr heml of wheat
hml tieen carefully collected, and to
"glean his par there." He come to our
city followed by spies, and finalty
reoched Ogden and a friend there con
cealed him,*and with the aid of kind
hearted railroad men he found his way
into liberty again. I saw him trembling
with fear while hiding from h>s pur
suer* ; and, again, after he hml ]iasmxl
beyond their reach. How great wos the
change in his deportment and looks.
Our valleys no doubt coutain thousands
who are receiving no better treatment,
and yet most of our visitors come here,
look on Uie best of Mormon society, ami
go away and proclaim Una a great,
prosperous, happy and free people.
They know just as much of the true
Monnou life as if they hml never visited

A Frontiersman*# Endurance.
Hill Hanson, lietter known as
" Frontier Bill," while pursuing a
herd of mustangs near Hat Creek ill
the Block Hills, was thrown from his
hone and knocked senseless, in which
state he lay for several horns. When
be recovered his horse was gone, ami
his woumls paiiied bun so badly that
he could not walk. He manage.) with
great difficulty to crawl on his hands
to a pool of water, some fifty rods from
the place where he fell He remained
there during the next day ami night
without a mouthful to eat, and the pool
having given out he started on his
hands and knees in search of mure.
About twelve o'clock on the second day
he saya he was so hungry, thirsty and
lame and tired that he could go no
further, and crawled under a tree and
stretched himself ont to die. While
laying tlins, tmrderingon the insensible,
he heard the leave* shake near hiin.
and wearily turned his head in the
direction of the noise. To his terror
and astonishment he espied a large rat
tlesnake reaching for him. The sight
of the venomous reptile banished hun
ger, thirst and pain for the moment,
and he raised on his ellsiw ami en
deavored to scare the acaly thing nwny.
The snake struck at him twice and then
!flided away. This advonture roused
lim somewhat, ami lie made another
endeavor to reach water. Finally, nfter
much pain and suffering, he crawled
into the Cheyenne road ami could go
no further. Next morning a ranchman,
located at Hat Creek, found him there,
laying on his face, insensible and almost
dead. He was taken to the ranch and
cared for.
Bismarck.
Bismarck loavea Berlin for a spa or
his favorite country seat, Varzin, which
he purchased after the war of 186fi. lu
the German capital he is rarely met be
yond the precincts of the foreign office
gardens. His constant oom pan ion in
his walks i%*Sultau, splendid Doniah
mastiff, presented to him hv a friend in
Bouth Germany. His growing corpu
lence—not, however, disproportionate to
his height—has compelled him to give
up riding. His personal presence ia al
most too well known to need descrip
tion. Small feet and bunds, bald head,
lofty brow, small gray eyes in deep
sockets, almost bidden by bushy eye
brows and martial mustache, now near
ly white, which covers his month, are
the features chiefly noticeable in the
man. He usually wears uniform—for
the most part thstof the Seventh Cui
rassiers—which consists either of a white
coat, with a cnirasi and a large helmet,
or a blue undress coat, with a yellow col
lar. He only appears at court on state
occasions, alleging, ns excuse for his ab
sence, that standing fatigues him. The
more oorrect explanation is that among
the leading personages surrounding the
emperor aro several of Bismarck's bit
terest personal and political foes. More
than once lie has almost come to blows
with some of his fellow-caurtiers in the
imperial antechamber, and altercation
three years ago with Count Nessclrode,
the lord high chamberlain of the empress,
a staunch Catholic, wns followed by
mutual challenges to a duel, which the
interference of tka emperor alone pre- j
vented, |

rapids, when the throttle was thrown
wide open, and the tug headed up stream
from the cataract. It was nip and tuck,
and they were about to cut away part of
the tow, when the tug seemed to gain a

Taking a "Load."
It is pretty well known that daring
William H. Vanderhilt's youth his
father, the commodore, had very little
confidence in liia sagacity or huainens
ability. Against the advice of some of
his friends, he perxistentlr declined the
yonng man's co-operation liecauae he
thought him "stnuid." A story |is
current on Btaten Island, X. Y., which
goes to show how the commodore's eyes
( mi> to be opened to the mistake into
which he hod allowevl himself to fall con
cerning his oldest boy. William owned
a farm near his father's, and finding that
it required fertilization, he applied to
him for some manure.
" How much do yon waut?" inquired
the commodore.
" Oh, atsmt a load," said the son.
"Certainly, I can spare that," was
tlie reply.
When the commodore visited his place
tliw next week, lie found that his vards
and stables were swept clean of the
great heaps of composite which he had
allowed to accumulate.
"Why, how is this?" he said to his
fanner.
" Your son came aud got it," was the
answer. "He said you gave him per
mission. "
The commodore went futning to Wil
liam, and said in a hustling way : " Hee
here, young man, what have you lieeu
about ; how daml you to cart off all my
manure ?"
" You said I could have it," was the
rejoinder. " You told me to take aluad."
" A load ! why, you have got every
bit there is."
" I onlv took a load, father—a sloop
Iff** "
Ano old man's eyes were opened, and
he concluded to give tlie sou a " slice "
of stock to ojsTate with, aud soon after
made him vice-president of tlie Central
rood.
How the (lid Xoblr* Lived.
The mode of living of the Englili
uobilitT * few centuries ago nisy be
somewhat nnderstood by reference to an
oh) book quite precious iu the night of
the antiquarians, the household tiook of
an carl of Korthiuul>erliiud. It appears
the old curl had a large family. It con
sisted only of six hundred and sixtT-six
persons, masters, utid servants. h'ifty
was the average numlier of his daily
guests.' There was a very precise sump
tuary code, and given out in parccla ant!
by rule. From midaummer to Micltaol
mas, fresh meat was allowed; for the
rest of the year, salted provisions
were alone admissible. Mustard was in
great demand. One hundred and sixty
gallons a year were nsed at the table—
no doubt the character of the freali au<l
salt meat required a potent stimulus to
make it go down. One bottle and n
third of heer*wa given to each person
daily. No sheets for the beds were used.
The table-cloths were few, they were
changed hut once a month, and waalung
dnys were rare ! Ninety-one dozen of
candles served the family for a year.
The family rose at six in the morning,
dined at ten, and supped at four. The
earl and his ladv hail at their hrenkfast
something liettcr than the rest, viE.: a
quart of beer, a quart of wine, two
pieees of salt tiah, an red herrings, and
a dish of sprats !
Absent-Mindcd.
One of our most excellent city physi
cians, says the St Joscoh (Mo.) Herald,
has (lie peculiarity of fieiug exceedingly
absent-minded. The other inomiug,
when dressing himself, he discovered
something unusually heavy in his vest
pocket, Upon examination it proved to
lie a valuable gold w-atch. He not
lieing the owner of such an expensive
article, it puzzled him to know how it
name thero. After n few moment's re
floction he remembered attending a
lady patient the day Iteforo, and for
timing her pulse, hod asked the use of
her watch. He returned in haste and
delivered it to the owner, who had been
alarmed, believing it to have been stolen.
One of the hottest days of the season
his wife laid out u clean vest for him to
change lieforo he went out. In a few
minutes he was ready to go, and put
the clean vest on, went to his offioe, and
remarked to a friend that it was exceed
ingly hot. His friend agreed with him,
hut wnnted to know how many vests ho
ivos in the habit of wearing st a
time. He had on two.
