bachelor guests in these hotels that pay
seventy dollars a week for the single
item of board alone, without a murmur.
One of the proprietors justices his char

travelling public has become far more
extravagant during the past few years
than they formerly were. Until of late
years to allow one waiter in a dining

y There is colored man in New
Orleans who is said to owe the city and
State nearly 500, 900 in back taxes.-
He lives in a miserable old garret, works
like slave and allows himself none of
the comforts of life, but owns real estate
worth S700,000 at least, and a large
amount of bonds and cash. There are
writs against him for taxes running back
dozen years, and he avoids paying
them by giving the city 10 per cent. on
them, as the law requires, and then
lends his cash on mortgages for IS to "A
per cent. In addition, the taxes of one
year are wiped out byprescription every
decade.

~ The pork-packing business at
Chicago is greater this year than ever
before, and the Chic a2ioans boast that
they now associate with more hogs than
the people of any other town on this
planet. Already have $780, entered
the gates of the city since the 1st of Sep
tember. Chicago's herds of swine are
recruited from nearly all the Western
States, and the pork goes not only to all
parts of the East, but to Mexico, South
America and Europe.

An enthusiastic angler writes that
some of the hot springs of the Yellow
tone region are situated SO near to the
margin of the Yellowstone lake, that a
person might stand ON the rim of the
spring, extend his fishing-rod into the
the lake, catch trout weighing from one
to two pounds, and cook them in the
boiling springs without removing the
fish from the hook.

How BAzAINE ONCE SAVED HIS JUDGE
X" relates in the Norfork landmark
that among other interesting items to
be found in Nernon's "reminiscences,
souvenirs and historietti of Trianon, IS
the following anecdote by very aged
man, who was once under other regimes
an attache of the place ''It was in the
spring of 1892" said the old man, 'and
Louis Philippe had run down to Trian-
on accompanied by several of his chill
dren. One of them, lad of ten Years
of age, tired by the close confinement of
travelling, as soon as he got well on the
grounds, in spite of the admonitions Of
his tutor, started on a wild, harum Scar
um scamIer over the garden, and in his
headlong gait tumbled very unroyally
into an artificial lake. 4 heard said
he, the boy S cries, and ran to the spot,
but when reached the lakel found he
had been pulled out by a young SER
gent de service who had been taking =
turn in the garden. The young prince,
shivering with cold and dripping like a
drowned rat, begged the officer and my
self not to let his father and his tutor
know of the mishap, and requested me
to conduct him privately to his apart
ments.
That boy IS to day the Due d Aumale,
who presides as Judge over military
court convened at the same Trianon to
try the case of Marshal BaZaine, who
was then simply the Sergeant Bazaine
who saved the drowning prince" ."

"REMINISCENCES oF RYAN. - Almost
everybody will recollect "Whack" Ryan.
for he figured rather conspicuously in
several enterprises, one of which was
the organization of quartz mining bu-
reau, which, like all of his schemes, was
unsuccessful. Colonel W. S. Scribnei
vas at one time associated with him IL
some mining operation, which also fail
I'd Ryan was unreliable, and peopl'
had no confidence in him. Soon after
his arrival in Montana, in 1866, he ac-
cepted position as travelling agent for
the Herald, but held it only few months
The proprietors found it decidedly more
economical to dispense with his services
altogether, for he ran things on the high
pressure system, and his extravaganza
had no bounds. A man of his prodigal
habits would bring ruin to any business
in very brief time. Whack" left
the Territory in 1869 and went to New
York where he met the Cuban General
Cespedes, then organizing an expedi-
ton to aid the patriots struggling for
freedom. Ryan espoused the cause, was
made colonel, and afterwards general in
the Cuban army. He never did much
fighting, however, for he could always
be found at headquarters in New York,
where he could have a gay and festive
time without the harlships and dlscom-
forts of active service at the front. lie
has never been engaged in any lesiti :
mate business since he left the noun
tains, but he always managed by hook
or crook to wear good clothes and keep
his wallet we'll filled with greenbacas.
His whole life, in fact, has been spent
without purpose and withoat an aim.
His career has been an eventful one, and
if he had been gifted with brains equal
to his courage, it might have been sue
cessful and brilliant one. He was a
brave but reckless man, and like most
men of his character he met q violent
death-he died with his boots on.-Uele-

The WINANs CIGAR SThAMER.-C. C.
Fulton contributes to the Baltimore
american the following in regard to the
Winans cigar ship: While coming out
of the harbor of Southampton singu-
lar looking steamer was described in the
distance approaching us, which attract
ed general attention from the pecullarl-
ty of its manner of construction. 1t
was steaming towards Southampton
from trial cruise in the British Chan
mel, and we soon discovered it to bethe
Winans cigar steamer, built upon the
Clyde. She passed within a few huns
dred yards of us, and we had very
good view cf her. The whole plan of
her construction has been changed from
Al. 6 Il. ~ I, 1.
mans in Baltimore, which still lies at
his wharf in South Baltimore.
The cigar shape of tho hull has been
retained, and seems to be nearly 400
feet long, but instead of wheel in the
center, it has two propellors at the ex-
treme points of the cigar, fore and aft,
only half Of which are submerged. The
propellors seemed to have but three
flanges. and were slowly Tapping on the
water, looking almost like the tiukes Of
a whale. Indeed, its whole appearance
as it moved along was that of an ordin-
ary ocean steamer perched on tie back
of whale. The cigar portion of the
hull was of much greater width in the
center than in the deck, and was the on
ly portion CT the vessel that was sub
merged. The ends of the cigar on
which the prcpellors arc fixed pros
tude beyond the deck, fully forty
feet fore and aft, and the bull is supplied
with masts, rigging and sails. 1t was
moving towards theTdocks slowly, and
we had no opportunity of Judging CT its
speed.
No one seemed to know anything
about its speed, its operations being
conducted under strict secrecy. Indeed
it not only slowed down. but actually
stopped for few minutes whilst We
we were passing, apparently for the pur-
pose of preventing rs from forming any
opinion as to its capacity. This is said
to be its usual custom when passing any
vessels.
We hope our townsman may be able
to astonish the world by attaining a
speed of twenty miles an hour by pro-
puIsion alone, which is said to be his
hope and expectation. The other steam
er, which was built at Cherbourg in
France, is also at Southamston. 1t is
called the Walter Winans, auc both are
both are fully oficered. and make fre-
quent trial trips in the EnglishChannel
1t will thus be seen that the application
of Winans to Congress for the renewal
Of his patent is with the full expectation
of yet accomplishing great revolution
in steam navigation.
