THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 24, 1881 THE PRINCESS DAGMAR. ;kktcu of THIS NEW KUsSIA. cairKEss of Her Popularity In the Little Kingdom of uemnHrK-a uetneiy vnlld that. Grew into a Baaatiful Weman. The Princess Dagmar, as the empress is still called iu the land of her birth," grew up with her sister Alexandra, new the princess of Wales, at the Danish court, with very modest surroundings. The queen was anexcelleut'mether, and sought te develop in her daughtets the woman iu preference te the princess. It wfcd te be said at the capital that the princesses were made te help in making their own dresses, and that the furnituic in their euiumeu ucu-roem was covered with in expensive calico. A fctery of the naive admiration expressed by Piinccss Djg mar en being shown the wedding trous seau of one of the noble ladies at court, and her longing wonder whether she would ever herself own "such handsome things,'' was told with a touch of sympa thetic pride by the people of Copen hagen, with whom the two princes-es were great favorites. D.igtuar had wen her way deepest into tiie people's heatt, hew ever, ner sweei disposition, tne winning grace of her manner and the perfect free dom with which she, like her sistess (and indeed the whole royal family), moved among all classes of the people weie well calculated te gain for her ailcctieu that followed her te her new heisu and found expression at her wedding in a score of ways that touched the heat t of the prin cess profoundly. At, eveiy .subsequent ap peal ance at her father's eeurt she was ie ceived by the people with an enthusiasm that even embraced her husband, despite the rumors of his sinister character and violent temper that from the beginning had threatened te make the match an un popular one. The Cz.srewitch tip patently took kindly te this popularity, and when at Copeuhazuti mhvrled freeiv with the populace. His bluii; soldierly way seen found favor, and when D.igmar u children iu little kilted suits aud with dark hair "banged" ever their foreheads heau te be seen about the park at Fredeuberg, "gradpapa's" summer palace, the recon ciliation te the foreigner was complete. One of the causes that contributed te the popularity of the Princess Dagmar was, perhaps, her name. Her lather had wisely given te all his children, except iucxaimia, out, Historical iJaiii-U names, uieiitiiieu with tiie mst ei tee nation, Fiederick Christian. VaMemar and Thvi.i are all names that held a hth nlaeu in lJantHh history and live in its sons and traditions. But of sill the nation's gieat names none is dear-'r te the heart ei" the Danish people than that of Dan mar, the queen of the vietoiieus Yal demar and the friend of the needy and oppressed throughout the laud, whose goodness was se great that en her un timely dealh-beil, according te tiaditieu, no greater .sin weighed iqwu her con science than "bowing a lace s'eeve en Sunday." The people of Copenhagen among whom the Piiucess Dagmar moved liked te cetnpaic her virtues with the.se of the beloved queen, and at her departure f jr her Kussian home the fervent wi.-li followed her that she would piove iu truth a veritable Dagmar a "hat Linger of day'' te the unhappy people w!ie3e ein ptess she was some day te become. The Princess Dagmar was net a handsome child, her features being clumsy though pleasing ; hut she grew into a very beauli ful woman, like her sister Alexandra. In eveiy print shop in Copenhagen pictures of her and her husband, with their chil dren, are for sale. The children have lit tle of their mother's leeks, bat bear a strong resemblance te their father. Hew TJtey De in 3IuuicJi. Temple Bar. Fancy the horror of the wii'e of a disti.i ruishcd Enjiliih phybiei.ui, lawyer or cler gyman if yen told her te tike the-,0 well educated yeuiuj ladies, her daujjhtcis, for an afternoon te the gaidens et" Tiveii or Brunnthal. there te chink beer or celTcc and industriously knit stockings until tha husband and father :;heuit! join them, and all sup together iii the open air, or eNc te return at beven o'clejk with their knitting needles safely packed away in little baskets en their :ims te prepate tiie supper at home I Very ncfiueutly thee is music in the gardens., and in the Englischer garden in line weather the baud plays almost tv.ry afternoon, and I doubt whether the well-educated young. English ladies aforesaid would be at all better able te appreciate the skill of the performers or indeed half se well as the quiet looking Bavarian. Who would suspect that quiet, stolid look ing man sitting opposite u, with an enor mous glass of beer before him, te be an excellent musician and composer? Xcar him is a tall, sentimental-looking ligure, with a bread-brimmed black felthatcurled up en one side, after the fashion of the ancient cavaliers ; he wears his hair long, in artistic style, disdains beer and pours out his Rhine wine iu a graceful, melan choly maimer. He is a bkillful house painter and decorator, but is otherwise un known te fame. Te our left is a whole family of blooming girls with their pertly mamma. They appear te have many ac quaintances here, and net a few admirers ; ler the Herr Papa is one of the most influential burghers in the town, and whole chests of linen are known te be already prepared for the dowry of the girls. Students, with their gayly-colered caps and sash ribbons, greet them most respectfully ; young eluccis iu .light blue uniform, and fearfully ugly cloth head gearvarc full of solicitude as te the health of the Frau Mamma and little Hans of whom they hear, t their grief, that he fell out of the window the -ether day. But while they are exercising tlu-ir tongues in this way au impietending impietending impietending loekiug young civilian is lilled with jttht indignation at the neglect of the waiters, who allow the young ladies te sit .se long without beer. lie fixes his hat mere firmly en his head vanishes among the crowd and quickly returns with a cap tured waiter, who listens te the unlimited order for beer, black bread,, butter and salt, and seen provides entertainment for the whole party. And new the yenng civilian reaps his reward, for he has managed te ensconce himself in a corner between Grethe and Minchcn te the utter defeat of the army and the university and is trying te make up his mind as te which of the tw6 girls is the prettier, when his attention is drawn, by the smiles aud nods of his fair neighbors, te a table near, where a pretty, well-dressed yenng wife is seated with her husband and baby of two years old. Baby is thirsty, se mamma has calmly steed him 011 the table, and is holding the great glass beer jug, with its pewter top. te the lip el her offspring, who appears strongly te approve of the beverage, and sucks away vigorously, te the great delight af papa. "Finding" as a Baslaesg. A St. LaraU Man with a Bare Gilt or Seeing. In St. Leuis, as a Bat-Dispatch reporter was lounging in the Mercantile library, he was approached by a centleman drcsssed in a plain-fitting suit of dark blue, with crimson cravat and a speckled cellar, who said: 'I want you te get me rough proofs of the advertisements offering rewards for things lest, and I will make it te your ad vantage.' "What de you want of them.?" "I am a professional finder. I hunt things that are lest andcolleetthe rewards that are offered. Yeu see, when I was a boy, even, I was very lucky at finding things. If a ball was lest, or a marble, I could find them when no ene else could. I have cultivated that habit of close ob servation until new I see things which no one else notices. Te oblige my friends I frequently turned out and found things for them, but J never began te fellow this as a business until at the Centennial, where, in the immense crowds collected there, I reaped a harvest of rewards that turned the scale and decided me in the choice of a profession. Yeu see, when ever a crowd gathers there are a certain amount of things lest which nobody thinks of except accidentally. I go in the wake of crowds and gather my harvest ; then I advertise for rewards if they are net siltc.tdy advertised for." " De you claim te be a clairvoyant ?'' Oh, by no means ! I just claim te own a technically educated pair of e.ves, just as a pianist has technically ednc ited fingers. I notice things subconsciously, veu knew : but come out with me, and I wil show you what I m,'an. In the first place, however, heic's my card ;" and he hauded the scribe a bit of gilt-edged pasteboard inscribed thus : " Henry W. Lamar, professional tinder, B.irnum's hotel." The couple then took a walk together, and turned down Fourth street, then1 in the full Heed of a line day's promenade, when. Mr. Lamar stepped suddenly. "Jfew just te show you what I mean," he said, " there is a child's locket in plain view from where you stand. Cau't a-ou see it ?" " JN'e," admitted the reporter, after a rareful scrutiny, " I can't." 'And yet see hew plain it is." and he walked te the curb uncovered with his cane a locket lyins in the gutter ; only the edge of it was visible at first, but like one of these invisible pictures in the children's papers, as seen as you saw it you could net see anything else. On the stroll from Olive street te Wash ington avenue Mr. Lamar again and again exhibited his finding power. The walk, however, was a water haul, as there was very little of value taken up, a silver half- iieuar uemg tne eejrt articie taken :n, i ..-.. . r . . .. . : . .., .. . ,lliS w a ma ua'' ai,l.ne!

The Carsen City (Xev.) Appeal in a re cent issue says : Yesterday afternoon, when the lawyers in Justice Gary's court were waiting for the verdict in a petty lar ceny case, Attorney Sederberg related an incident of his early childhood iu Minne Mjta, illustiative of the peculiar customs in ve!iic in that state. ' I knew an old farmer theie who owned ten acres of timber land where millions of pigeons came each year te most. They devastated the wheat field , and the old coon used te catch the birds iu nets aud thrash them out en the barn fleer. Each bird had three ounces of wheat in his crop and it was a bad year for 'Old Thompson' when he couldn't ship a thousand bushels of wheat te market at '' $2.00 a bushel, and it ranked A Ne. 1 ' when it reached the Chicago elevator. If 1 there had been a lew millions mere of the pigeons he would have come pictty near getting a coiner in the Miuueseta wheat crop." ' I knew a planter down in Alabama," said Kittrell, " who was fully as sharp as that. He trained an alligator te weik up and down the river and catch the little piccaninnies that played along the bank. Tiie alligator would take the little kids in his jaws and swim b.ick te the plantation. It was a dull day that he couldn't corral t'nee or .four. The planter raised 'em carefully, and when they get big wild 'em iu New Orleans at prices ranging from three te ten thousand apiece. lie was rolling in wealth when Lincoln's emanci pation proclamation was issued, and alter that the alligator never did mero work. The man is new barely keeping body and soul together in Washington, clerking in etic of the government bureaus at eight thousand a year." Judge Gary evidenced tha greatest iti teicst iu these weird tales, and edged up te the group. " These are curious yarns, gentlemen, but I believe them all. I had a deg once back in Nebraska, that I kept te herd lumber." " Beg pardon-, judze ; did you say tins deg herded lumber ?" ' Yet, sir, cotton weed beards. We al ways kept a deg there te bring the lumber in at night." Everybody new paid the closest attention, as they knew that the boss was at work. " It was this way. Cottonweed beaids warp like thunder in the sun. A beard would begin te hump its back up about 9 iu the morning, and in half an hour it would turn ever. By 11 it would warp the ether way with the heat and make another flop. Each time it turned it moved a couple of feet, always following the sun toward the west. The first sum mer I lived in Brewnville ever ten thou sand feet of lumber skipped out te the hills the day before I had advertised a house raisin'. I went te the county scat te attend a law suit, and when I get back there wasn't a stick of timber left. It had strayed away iute the uplands. An ordi nary beard would climb a two mile hill during a het week, and when it struck the timber it would keep wermin' in and out among the trees like a garter snake. Every, farmer in the state had te keep shepherd dogs te fellow his lumber around the country, keep it together, : n I show where it was in the morning. We did'nt need any flumes there for lumber. We sawed it east of the place we wanted te use it, and let it warp itself te its destination ; with men and dogs te head it off at the right time, we never lest a stick. Well, here comes the jury," continued the judge. "The witnesses lied se I guess they will disagree."
