A wealthy gentleman on the
North Side has lovely Peruvian
blonde daughter, for whose hand
there were three ardent suitors. The
girl liked them all, declared her
inability to choose, and left the
matter to her father, who deter
mined that the one who could
make the best showing of CONNER
cial prosperity should marry his
daughter. The first young man
had a horse that could trot in '35,
three stacks of blue chips on a sol.
vent faro bank, two decollette
shirts and a seal ring. He was
bounced. The second suitor had
$1,000 in bank, a first-class position,
and was laying up money. The
third wasn't worth a red, but had
a gauger's position in his pocket.
The old man, with tears in his
eyes, led him to the daughter,
Joined their hands, and said

The Khan Of KhIva.

Captain Burnaby, a British Off
Ger, has returned after an interest
ing tour in Central Asia, where he
has been visiting the Khan of
Khiya. His visit is the more re-
markable, as with the exceptions of
Captains Abbott and Shakespeare,
who were sent to Khiva from India
on a diplomatic mission to the
grandfather of the present Khan,
no Englishman has ever been with
in the walls of the city. An engi-
neer officer was sent last summer
with scientific expedition to Cen
trail Asia. He surveyed part of the
Oxus from the Sea of Aral to a
part on line with Petro Alexan-
drovsk, the Russian fort in Khiyan
territory, but was never permitted
by the Russians to go within fifty
miles of the capital. Captain Bur
naby, it is said, would have been
equally prevented, if by changing
his route at the last moment, he
had not missed the Russians, and
was thus four days in Khivs, and
had been admitted to two private
audiences with the Khan, before the
Russians were aware of his pres
ence in the city.

The story ofa Coffin.

A CHASTITY case, involving some
novel points in the application Of
law, was decided in the District
Court for Hamilton county, Ohio,
last week. Some time ago a me-
gro whose friends resided in Indian
apolis died in the Cincinnati Hos
pital The superintendent received
a telegram from an Indianapolis
friend of the deceased, instructing
him to forward the body in a rough
box. The railroad refused to ac-
cept it in that shape, and the SUI
perintendent bought a casket, as
suming that it would be needed
any way, and including its price in
a G. O. D. bill. The Indianapolis
party took out the corpse, but re-
fused to accept the casket, which
the railroad took back to the super
intendent of the Cincinnati Hos
pital with his uncollected bill. The
latter refused to accept the article
and sued the company for the
amount of the bill. The court an
nounoed as a general principle that
the consignee of goods has a right
to open and examine them sufi-
GENTLY to ascertain if they are what
he ordered, and ii not to refuse
them, whereupon the common car
rier may return them to the con
signor without liability for the un'
collected bill, To the claim that

De mortuis nil nisi bonum and
all that sort of thing, but really il
might be just as well if the papers
which are overhowing with eulogies
of the late A. T. Stewart were to
tell the truth about him or hold
their peace. Mr.. Stewart was moi
the tender-hearted, liberal Cresus
that all the publishers who profted
by his advertising patronage would
have us believe, He was close-fsted
and grasping to the last degree, and
was the hardest employer and paid
the smallest salaries of any mer-
chant in the city. He more than
any other man kept down the pay
of the poor shop girls and sales.
men. His only weakness, and | say
it to his credit, was for women, and
the affection and money he is al
legged to have lavished upon the
Rushton and Demar women, and
the afectionate care he took of his
illegitimate children, were traits
well worthy of notice, but they
have been passed over in silence
His only two legitimate children, a
son and daughter, died years ago,
and he showed the affection he
owed them to his irregular off
spring. Two illegitimate daughters
are now in Dresden, where they
were educated at his expense, and a
fayorite illegitimate holds good
position in the branch house at
Paris. It was his regard for these
children, and his attentions to their
mother, and TO the mothers of
other and less lone offspring that
were the main cause of the constant
disagreements between him and his
wife, which were notorious. 1t was
well known that for long time Mr.,
and Mrs. Stewart held no converse
except in public, and Mr.. Stewart
did not even dine in his own house,
leaving it every day at nine, and
spending nine hours at his store,
and taking his meals at Delmon-
ico's. Mr.. Stewart was not only gn-
happy in his family matters, but he
was unfortunate in the choice of
his con6daRts. The man who had
charge of his hotel property, and
the man who attended to his real
estate, both made more money out
of their labors than their employer ;
and it is notorious that his real es-
tate speculations were such as would
hago bankrupted any other man in
the city, Here, then, is a little
truth with which to leayen the mass
of fulsome praise and fictitious glory
which have been layished upon the
great shop-keeper

ANEW Plant for the DOor.Yard.

Washington Star.l
Among the new distributed
this year from the botanic garden
is the Aralia papyrifera. This plant
produces the beautiful substance
known as rice paper; it has soft,
downy palmata leaves; it grows ten
feet high, with stem four inches in
diameter, fnllof white pith like the
elder; in a full-grown specimen the
pith is about one inch in diameter.
It's divided into pieces three inches
long, and by the aid of sharp in
strument is unrolled, forming the
thin narrow sheets known as rice
paper, greatly used by the Chinese
for drawing figures Of plants and
animals, and also for making artifi-
cial flowers. Until about 1850 the
source of this substance was un-
known to scientists, The Chinese,
on inquiry, gave very falciful fig
urcs and descriptions Of it, illustra-
ting the fact that then, as now, "for
ways that are dark and for tricks
that or vain. the heather Ohinee is
peculiar" 1t was first introduced
from the island of Formosa to
Europe, at Kent gardens, in 1858 /;
from there it has been widely dis
seminated, tits almost naturalized
in some parts Of Australia; in the
Southern States, and perhaps Cali
fornia, it will flourish. As an out.
door ornamental foliage plant it is
well worthy Of cultivation in any
part Of the country.

nor in like good condition in this
instance, the court decided that to
return the corpse would have been
against public policy, and as the
hospital superintendent had no au-
thority in the first place to pur-
chase the casket, he could not make
any one else pay for it, but might
stow it away, like TOOdles, as some.
thing handy to have about the
house.
