The Duke Of Portland is the most &C.
centric nobleman. So far as society is
concerned he is dead to the world. He
surrounds himself with an atmosphere
of mystery, which no one, peer or COM
moner, is permitted to penetrate. Even
his own solicitors, the managers OF his
enormous estates, are never allowed an
interview. Five years ago the Dukes
annual income was upward OF G3U0, 900,
and since that time 1t has very consld-
erably increased. His Grace has never
been married. and has little or no faith
in womankind. His ruling passion rs
architecture. He is forever putting up
new structures on his estates, and con-
stantly employs. something like 1000
workmen = inasons, smiths and joinels.
The Abbey of Waldeck. where he con-
stantly resides, is approached by sub
terranean. passages only. There are
more than fifteen miles aof tunneling

missioners. The doctor inyesti gated
their powers of eating In the following
manner: He put two young pickerel, 5
inches long, in trough with great
quantity Of little minnows about inch
in length; and these two pickerel ate 1913
minnows the first day, 1872 the second, !,
and 100 the third, and they increased

''See what feetI" exclaimed a little
dapper dandy, as he pointed to the ,tre-
mendous pedal extremities OF an over

who was passing at the time. "Oh-ho-

''styles." VI sweah, though" continued
the first speaker, sif don't believe the

companion with sickly smile, tried to
get some consolation.

Presence of Mind,

A remarkable instance of presence Of
mind on the part Of captain of a man.
ot-war is related by the Petersburg pa
pers. About the end of last month the
Russian war frigate Olaf, which had ac-
companied the yacht of the Czarewitch
to copenhagen, was lying ait anchor
among hundreds of otler ships in the
harbor, when fire was discovered in a
coal-cellar below, which was only few
leet from the powder magazine. There
was no time to put out the tire before it
would reach the magazine, and an ex-
ploslon OF the large stores Of cartridges
and gunpowder contained In it would
probably have destroyed, not only the
Olaf and surrounding ships, but part OF
Copenhagen itself. Captain Rehbinder,
the commander OF the Olaf, saw at once
that the only thing to be dUne to prevent
a catastrophe was to sink the ship.
After sending away the crew, the ships
papers, cash boxes and the most valu-
able instruments in boats, he ordered
the carpenters and engineers to make a
leak in the vessel, and half an hour
afterward she sank in not very deep
water. Next day she was raised again,
and after some provisional repairs was
taken to Cronstadt, where she is now
lying in dock pending her complete res
toration to service. The damage done is
statedto be comparatively trifling. and
the Court Martial held on the officers OF
the vessel, unanimously expressed the
highest praise of the conduct OF. the Cap
tam and his subordfnates. The Emperor
has appointed him his Aide-de-camp,
which is one of the highest honors con-
ferred on Russian naval officers, and the
officers and men under. him have re-
ceived gratuitles from the Emperors
private purse.-Pall Mall Gazette.

in the left arm above and around the ell

Dr. Plummer was called, who dressed his
wounds at the mill, when be was taken to
his residence, on Moline Av. second door
east of Stickney st. He has wife and
one child. The doctor says the wounds
are severe, but there is no danger-only
flesh wounds and no bones injured.
There were several narrow escapes from
injury by the flying pieces. Michael
Brennan, the.sawyer, was within four feet
of the saw and the pieces few dangerously
near him. Teddy Bresnahan's head lacked
only half an inch of being large enough to
catch one of the pieces, and Mr.. G. R.
Reynolds, the foreman, was pleased to see
one of the flying missiles imbed itself int
timber just above his head instead @
trying to take out piece of his skull.
Some say the saw was an imperfect one
and others say that it was broken by strik

and saws should be made that won't burs

Last week very affable, quiet looking,
easy talking gent arrived at the Burtis
house, in Davenport. and registered him
self as agent for Robinsons circus. He
staid several days, made many acquaint-
ances, took several drives, and had lots of
friends. His bills did not arrive in time,
so he just waited around till his trunks
would come, and 80 one fine morning Mr..
Agent turned up missing, with several
bills left behind to take care of themselves.
And now, if anybody wants any compli-
mentary tickets to Robinson's circus, just
let him ask DR.. Burtis or Bob Porter.
They have got good stock on hand. Of
the fellows operations after leaving
the following dispatch from Omaha will ex-
plain:
"A man calling himself j. Schanck,
claiming to be the advance agent of Jas.
Robinson's circus. arrived here last week
made contracts with hotels, arranged fol
license and grounds, advertised in the
papers, and incurred numerous other
debts, giving due bills on the circus, which
was soon to follow. He distributed hun
dreds of complimentaries in a most
lavish manner, and then beat the Unior
Pacific Railroad out of pas:
with the ostensible purpose of arranging
for the circus through to Cali
fornia. After his departure, the genera
ticket agent, Thomas L. Kimball, received
telegram from Z. st. John, of the Rocl
Island Road, at Chicago, stating tina
Schank was fraud. He procured pas
over the Rock Island road, and contracted
for the transportation of the circus, consist
ing of thirty cars, from Bureau Junction
to Omaha. He no doubt victimized cit
zens along that road the same as here. TIL

That very remarkable book, "Gen.Sher
mans Memories" contains some informa-
ton as to the manner in which San Fran
cisco obtained it's name, which we do not
remember to have seen in print before. In
the summer Of lS49, Gen. Sherman, then
an artillery lieutenant, was stationed In
California, and, in recalling "reminiscences
of those days, he i'm parts the information
of which we have spoken. While at Benz
cha, on Carquinez Straits, he became ac-
quainted with DR.. Semple, an lllinoisan.
who published the Californian, which after
wards became the Alta Californian of to-
day. This DIR. Semple, foreseeing the
growth of great city somewhere on the
Bay of San Francisco, selected site on
Carquinez Straits and laid out a city which
was called Francisco, in honor of the wife
of Gen, Vallejo. At this tine, the name
of the town near the mouth of the bay was
Yerba Buena. Some of the prominent
men of the latter place, foreseeing that
Francisco might be rival, and that there
was something in a name, induced the
council to change the name from Yerba
Buena to San Francisco. DR.. Scmple was
very much incensed at the adoption of 8
name so closely resembling Francisco, and
in turn changed the name of his town tC
Benicia, which was Mrs. Vallejo's other
name, and San Francisco and Benicia the
two places remain to this day. Gen. Sher
man says: THAT Benicia has the bes
natural site for commercial city an

half the labor since bestowed upon Sar
Francisco been expended at Benicia, W.
should have at this day a city ofpalaces OF
