ARTICLES ARE STORED.

''Yes, I linvc received ninny curious and
antique articles since I begun business
thirty-live years ago," said Kobert Tap
part to a Journal reporter. Mr. Taggn'rt
is a pioneer in the storage business, and
1'iis mammoth establishment is filled with
old objects, each of which has an inter
esting history.
"Now, among a vast collection of fine
paintings which I got in the course of
business." continued Mr. Taggart, "are
- two which I have been told time and
again are originals by Hubens. One rep
resents the adoration of the Saviour in the
stable at Bethlehem. The subject of the
other I do not know, as I have never met
any one who could tell me. There is an
inscription on this picture in one of the
dead languages, I believe, because I have
never been able to find any one learned
enough to translate it. The picture rep
resents a queen on a magnificent throne
giving orders apparently to some of the
royal guards.
"How did you become possessed of the
pictures?" asked the reporter."
"The day the first gun was fired at
Fort Sumpter a gentleman who was very
well known here then and hated equally
as well for his avowed sympathy with the
Southern cause came into my place and
told me he intended going South and aid
ing the Confederates with his money and
every way else he could. lie asked
mc to take his household furniture on
storage,
" 'You won't have to keep them long,"
he said. 'The South will win sure, and
I'll return to Xew York, for I can't live
anywhere else.'
"I took his furniture, but it has never
been called for. He raised a regiment
South and fell at Bull Bun with his two
sons at his side. He had no near relatives
to mourn his loss and so I have his fur
niture still. The Rubenses were among
his chattels and also a picture by Murillo
for which I have been offered" $90,000.
There is practically no price on the Ru
benses. Besides theso pictures mentioned
I have as fine a gallery of paintings as any
connoisseur would wish to look at. I
have always been fond of pictures and
neer mcu 10 uiposc ol any ol them, al
though some of them would bring fabu
lous prices."
Among other articles which Mr. Tag
gart showed to the reporter was a pair of
beautiful dueling pistols inlaid with solid
gold and silver, which are the same. Mr.
Taggart says, used by Alexander Hamil-
ton in his deadly encounter with Burr on
the Elysian Fields, where AYeehawken is
now growing up. The pistols were once
owned by General Grant, but they passed
from him to another branch of the fami
ly and finally came into the possession of
a Broadway jeweler, who is unfortunate
ly addicted to drink. During one of his
periodical sprees he placed the pistols,
with some other property, on storage
with Mr. Taggart in order to raise money
enough to continue his debauch. He
never called for the weapons and the
man's wife wants them sold, as she says
she hates to see them laying around the
house when her husband is on a spree.
"About two months ago," said Mr.
Taggart, "a well-dressed, middle-aged
man came into my place and, handing
me a small chamois bag, asked me how
much I would ask to keep it for him for
a day or two without examining the con
tents. 'Twenty-five cents,' I replied.
"Well, sir, the fellow kicked like a
mule. He swore he wouldn't pay such
an outrageous price and finally beat me
down to twenty cents for two davs. Next
day a detective from the Central office
came in looking for such a bag and told
me the fellow who had left it with me
was a famous 'Western crook and that he
had him locked up in the Tombs. I
went down there with the bag, which was
opened in presence of the Judge and
found to contain diamonds valued at
nearly $100,000. It surprised me that a
man wishing and thinking he could safe
ly conceal such a plunder would kick
about the cost, especially when you con
sider the little I asked lym."
Amonsr many other curious thino-
which Mr. Taggart lias are skeletons, cof- !
fins, grandfathers' clocks, horses, sheen I
cows, in fact all kinds of animals and
fowl, and as a curiosity shop in every re
ipect his place cannot be beaten. Xet

A Great Game Preserve.
The greatest game preserve in the world
will be held by the Cheat Mountain
Sportsmen's Club, a majority of the mem
bers of which are g. ntlemen of this city.
Compared with it, Tuxedo Park is a mere
basratelle.
The preserve lies iu the heart of the
jhh-st region in the mountains of West
Virginia. It covers an area of sixty miles,
and within its limits there is not a settle
ment. Bear, titer, wild turkey and other
game abound, while the cool mountain
streams are tilled w ith the speckled beau
ties that make the heart of the angler leap
with joy. The tract of land embraces
60,000 acres, and will be increased by the
addition of 20.000 acres. It is fifty miles
from the railroad, but is reached bv a
good macadamized road. None but the
most intrepid hunters have traversed its
solitary wiids, while only the merry moun
shiuer has resided within its tontines.
The bear and deer have hud full swing,
and the hardy hunters will find great
sjwrt dining the hunting season in pep
pering buckshot into this noble- game,
while there are just enough rattlesnakes
loitering on the hills to add the spire of
danger to the fun.
During the year the pie-ervts will be.
plentifully stocked with Knglish plu-u-iUta
imported from the old country, and
w ild boars will also be turned loose there.
A commodious club-house will be
elected this summer, and experienced
grime-keepers will be placed iu 'urge,
whose duty it will be not only to. protect
the property, but the game, by keeping
uu eve on poachers. 1'ttULunj 1iyntti-h.

Ruhla, a mountain village of Thurin
pia, is the centre of the pipe manufacture
of Germany. Like ShetVield, England, it
was famous in the middle ages for its
arms and armor, and nt a subsequent
period for its knives. When the use of
tobacco became common in Europe, it
turned its attention to the fabrication of
iron smoking pipes. Gradually, how
ever, beginning in the seventeenth cen
tury, meerschaum and wood were adopted
ns more suitable materials to work upon.
The first meerschaum pipe was carved in
the early part of the thirty years' war.
anil Wallcnstein is said to have bought
it, The trne clay is to be produced only
ft Eski-Schcr, in Asia Miner, where there
are larsrc deposits, and whence it is sent
direct to to the manufactories nt Ruhla,
of which there are nt present forty, em
ploying almost the whole population of
the district. The number of pipes, and
the otherarticles dear to smokers, turned
out is enormous, the vcarly averaire be
ing 540.000 real met rschaums, varying iu
price from six cents to $l0 each; o00,
000 imitation meerschaums, at from
twenty-live cent' to $5 per dozen; 0,000,
000 porcelain pipe bowls, either plain
white or gayly painted, ranging in price
from eight cents to $0.."iO per dozen ;.-,-000,000
wooden pipes of infinite variety
in size, form and ornamentation, ami
price, the common kinds twing extremely
cheap and those artistically carved
fetching a comparatively high price;
:i.0()0,000 bow Is of clay of lava,' plain, at
altout six cents, and of better kind at seventy-five
cents per dozen; 15,000,000
pipes composed of separate parts (bowl,
stick, cover, eto.V from ten cents to
$1.2."i per dozen. There arc five qualities
of meerschaum used in the making of
pipes. The best is known by its facile
absorption of nicotine juice of tobacco,
which gradually devvlopes into a rich
brown blush upon the surface, ami w hen
this process is well advanced, the pipe
becomes almost invulnerable without le
ing hard. A specimen of this kind sold
at Vienna for $".,-"0, although it was not
very highly carved. Tolnrvo.
A Prairie or Pitch.
I have just returned from a trip to the
so-called "Bitch Lake," writes a cor
respondent from Port of Spain, Trinidad,
to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Running
south down the Parian Gulf to La Brett,
some forty miles distant from this port,
we there disembarked, ami, climbing a
geutle ascent of 140 feet, we fomul the
lake, a little more than a mile inland.
Strictly shaking, there is no lake in the
common acceptance of the term, but a
level plain, composed of a concrete,
though flexible, mass of pitch, covering
an area of perhaps 100 acres.
Bushes, patches of vegetation ami oc
casional pools of brackish water diversify
the surface here and there, giving it the
appearance of a muel swamp. There is
no difficulty in walking or wading from
one enei to the other, for with the sole
exception of several places where the
pitch is in a state of ebullition in a soft
and viscid consistency the "lake" is semi
solid. On it I found chestnut-colored
men and women digging out large clods
of the asphalt with ax and shovel and
loading it upon donkey carts.
Each lump of the "asphalt exhibited
small cavities, ami we were informetl by
the diggers that they never dig deep
enough to find the pitch at all softened.
The roughened surface of the pits is ex
poseil to the tropical sun. and within a
few days the cavities are full again. From
30,000 "to 40,000 tons of the asphalt are
dug out every year, each cubic foot of
the pitch weighing on an average sixty
pounds. It is estimated that there are in
the deposit not less than 10,000,000
pounds which, at the present rate of dig
ging, should last fully 8,000 years.
A modern siege gun costs $97,000, and
the cost of one shot is $000.

Heme ef the I.aal PaMIe Opinion" mt m
(Jreat !laa.
jV(c I'orit Corrftponrfmrt Cleveland leader
Dne has a moat excellent opportunity to
tudv "man" as represented hr the average
New Yorkers. Among the wealthy claws,
very manv of them have the wav skin,
dropsical flosh, and "puffed eyes' that ar
indicative of serious kidney affection,
"ltright's disense" is plninly written on their
faces. Since (ti'iiernl lagan's death the sub
ject of rheumatism is lieing discussed by the
medical profeision.
Kverv intelligent pirson, with any knowl
edge of the huiiiau system, is well aware that
if the kidneys are iu good condition all un
necessary material is regularly carried o(T
by them. If not, various acids, such as urio
acid, one of the chief causes of rheumatism,
are left in excoss.rretiting deposits that caun
all sorts of chronic organic diseases. It
would seem, therefore, that rheumatism, like
dropsy, is not a diseas", but the result of a
dis. as aihk it is safe to say that if the
t inmch ami kidnevs are kept iu h althful
condition, there w ill be no deaths from rheu
matism. (ienernl I.oan was well aware thnt his
disease was of the kidneys, and once ex
pressed himself in indignant ternn at the
folly of doctors treating him for rheumatism,
when it was the kidneys that caused his
attacks. The high living and the excesses in
all things prevalent among wealthy men iu
large cities, especially in Mew York, is the
i hief cause for Hnght's disease, and the aris
tocratic trouble known as rheumatism, even
ns insufficient and improper food bring about
the same results among the very poor.
The above article, which we reproduce be
cause of its general interest, is very signitl
cant The public believes that rheumatism
is an effect of diseased blood, this disease be
ing caused bv uric acid or kidney p ison.
Kuough of this is developed daily to kill sev
eral men. and if it is not removeiVby the kid
nevs as last as formed, it gradually ruins the
health.
This fact Is a scientific demonstration
If doctors do not admit it, it is probably
liecauso they do not wish to attract atten
tion to the hietia e deranged kidnevs offers
to the general htalth. since they have no
authorized specific for these organs.
tieneral Logan knew what his real trouble
was, and he reoognied the nonsense of treat
ing the effects the real seat of the disease
was the kidneys. Senator Sittig. of Illinois,
whose vote elected Ia gan Senator after four
months of balloting, tells us that Logan often
complained to him of great distress in his
kidneys. Disea;e of the kidnevs alwavt
produces rheumatism, and besides tliat. it
cau-es paralysis, apoplexy, impotency,
stomach and blood disorders," brain troubles
female complaints and counties other dis
rases which would almost uever develop if
the blood wai kept free of uric acid or kiduey
poison.
These facte the public recognizes even
though medical gentlemen, for very evident
reasons, will not publicly acknowledge them
lest, perchance.some proprietary medicine like
Warner' sale cure, now admitted to lie the
only .-ieiititic specific, will get the benefit.
Fie on such bigotry! It has been authori
tatively stated time and again that there can
be no real sound health if there is any falsa
action of the kidneys. Insurance coiiipauies
refuse millions of risks on this ground alone,
hence it is that there is such universal popu
larity given to the great preparation named
a popularity that is based upon intrinsic
merit.
Too much dependence unon professional
advice, especially in matters over which
medical men admit they have no power, too
often results very disastrously, but of what
use to the victim is experience sained by fa
tal disaster!
How much better it is to be guided by an
unprejudiced public opinion in such matter.
Had Logan been so guided, he might have
been spare I many years.
Durability of Ten Kinds of Wood.
.Experiments uiaile at the suggestion of
Professor Sargent by the Boston and
Providence Railroad on the enduring
qualities of various woods for railroad
ties have given results of iniportanee to
fanners. In these experiments fifty-two
ties were laid iu December, 1878, on a
track, iu Boston, where the tratHc is very
heavy, having an average of sixty-five
trains daily. Ten kinds of wood were
tried, five in the natural state and five
creosoted. Xone of the ties rotted ex
cept one of the ailantns; the others that
had to be removed had been injured by
the hammering of the trains. Spruce,
hemlock, larch and Southern pine have
all suffered badly in this way. White
oak lasted well, bijt it holds the spikes so
firmly that they cannot be drawn when
the rails have to be shifted. Creosoted
elm and birth did well, and are to be rec
ommended. Chestnut was unfortunate
ly not included in the experiment, al
though it is considered one of the best
woods for ties. The behavior of the ca
talpa was one of the most interesting feat
ures of the case, nil the tics of this wood
being sound, except just under the mils,
where they are crushed nearly to a pulp.

A Lion-Tamer's Nerve.
Crockett made the greatest name for
himself of any lion tamer, not in
England alone, but in France, Ger
many anil America. '"I remember
well," says Archibald Forbes, "the time
when the six lions were loose nt one time
iu Astley's. The Sanger hud sent the
beasts up from Edmonton the night be
fore. Nobody to this day knows how
they got out of their dens; but it was
thought at the time that some one of the
grooms with whom the manager was
very unpopular, he used to line them so
mercilessly had let them loose mali
ciously, that they might get at the horses.'
There they were, anyhow, loose in the
place, smelling the horses, und mad to get
at them. They had already killed a man,
and hud eaten him when Crockett ar
rived. Without halting iin instant, lie
dashed in among tlicin single-handed,
with only a switch iu his hand, and I'm
blest if he didn't manage to den them all
single-handed. That was nerve for you."

"The queerest town I know of iu this

traveler, "is at Millcdgeville, III. For
some reason or other the railroad people
and the principal owner of the town site
had a falling out and the railroad decided
to start a new town. Through the com
pany's influence a brick block was put a
mile or more tawny from the old town,
but nearer the station and side tracks.
That block contains nine store-rooms on
flu- first floor, and a large uuiiil cr of
ollii es overhead. In it is almost every

is a w hole tow n in iiself, but it looks odd
to see farmers' wagons hitched iu a circle
