Mysterious People,

Every one has now and then eiicount-
cred in society people who have no ap-
parent property, real or personal, yet
who seem to have all the comforts and
luxuries which wealth procures, without
making any of those exertions which
procure wealth. They are generally
very pleasant, companionable people,
who have been everywhere and seen eve-
rything. They know everybody, and
everybody knows them-up to a certain
point. The father drives neat two-in-
hand, the wife and daughters dress ele-
gantly, and the sons pocket-money is
the allowance of a prince imperial.
They have the best rooms in the most
fashionable hotel or, if they keep house,
their menage is unexceptionable. They
have the most premature lamb and the
earliest peas, the handsomest landau and
the choicest seats at the opera. In short,
they feed on the roses and lie in the lilies
of lite But how do they manage to do
it +? The Dores, you say, are charming
people; the ladies are well bred and
bright, and Dore senior is courtly, not
to say distinguished But what is the
trade, business, profession OF Dore
senior What does he do for a
living? He is evidently immensely
wealthy but it is just as evident that he
is not worth cent. Nobody can find
out that he owns a square inch Of real
estate or dollar worth Of any Kind of
stock-petroleu or other. He is not a
speculator, that is certain. Is he gam
bier? His habits and associates are
| beyond reproach. Ishe-and this should
be put in the smallest diamond type, like
the whispers in Charles Reade' novels
counterfeiterY The suspicion dies OF
its own folly. If he were a fereignerone
might suppose him to be an eccentric
nobleman examining the social institu-
1 tions OF our country; but unfortunately
for so Aatterng an hypothesis, he is
American born and bred. There are
lust two things known about him--the
rest is mystery. The two things are:
first, that he has no visible means of sup
port; and, secondly, that he lives like
"a A regular, rich Don Rataplan uah
Santa Claus de la Muscovado 1di
Senior Grandissimo Bastinado."
or Count Monte Cristo, at least, And
how does he manage to do it? By what
subtle alchemy does he coingoid to meet
his lavish current expenses2 What is
his heavenly receipt for living snmp-
tuously on nothing YEAR, -, -. -.
Most people who have not inherited
money OF made by lucky stroke, have
to work very hard and be very. eeoonom-

negro and the sherry-vallies will scarcely
"hold shucks." This was as now a very
rare garment in the Green river region.
Ii Is doubtful whether there were three
other pair besides Hamilton's in all that
part Of Kentucky. They were made Of
thick velvet or buckslSin, sometimes Of
both, the leather being next to the sad
die. They were buttoned along the out
side of the leg, and uniformly worn over
another pair Of pantaloons, because they.
were used in riding on horseback IT.
must be confessed that sherry-vallies
would be q strange party costume, even
for o negro slave. But negro slaye,
would hardly .have stolen his master's
serry-vailies for party occasion, be
cause of the certainty Of discovery aris-
ing from, ais use of such notable dress
at a party. AT negro assemblage many
Of the negroes would have seen then, for
the first time, pair of sherry-vallies.
IL is very likely that Hamilton srwas the
only pair in the neighborhood. He had
to 90 to Lexington to have his. made by
Mccullough & Foster, then the principal
tailors in the Western country. . The
probabilities are all against the re-
cent statement that Hamilton's, negro
had stolen his sherry-vallics, worn
them to a party got into a fight
by which they were stained with blood,
and hid them in Hamilton's s barn to
await an opportunity for cleaning off the
blood, so that lie might hang them on a
nail in the owners room. But were the
sherry-valIies hid in. the barn2s Was

Thanks to the discoveries Of Dr. Angus

time attached. It was with mist from tha
