to have been elected Aldermen and Asst
Aldermen under the charter of 1870, which
they say has not been repealed, sent in

The Sultan's Extravagance.

The Sultan of Turkey is the most
expensive monarch in the world. Per
haps the Court Of Solomon afforded
some precedent.for the scale Of his lux
ury, but it certainly has no more mod
err parallel. His servants at the palace
number 5, 500. the kitchen employing 500
the stables 400, the menagerie 200, and
other items accordingly. The menag-
erie is special hobby of the Sultan's,
and it is one of the most remarkable
collections 10 the world. He pays it
daily visits, and every man of-war that
visits foreign ports brings accessions of
new beasts. The Sultan's wifes and
concubines number 1000, 500 more
than Solomon's family. Wealthy Mo-
hammedans, whenever they purchase a
specially beautiful slave, send her with
their compliments to the Sultan.

care Of this harem are Fifty doctors, 15O
eunuchs and 100 messengers. Seven
thousand persons are fed daily at the
palace, and the table acne costs 81

nearly million dollars yearly to keep
it up. The total expenses of the Sultan

A Horse with q Silver Throat.
Cincinnati Commercial.

We have heard Of people born with
silver spoon in their mouths and all
that, but the most unique thing of the
kind we ever heard of or saw is a horse
with silver throat, belonging to the
Cincinnati Omnibus Company, but was
"wind broken and on that account
had grown almost useless. It was a
pity, and loss as we'll to turn him out
to die-he wouldn't sell-so it was de-
termined by Meyers, the veterinary sur
geon, to try an experiment., an expe-
dient-in short, "kill-or-cure" RENE
dy. So, two months ago he made an
incision in the ANIMALS throat, and
inserted a silver tube in the windpipe
to facilitate breathing leaving sort OF
artificial nostril at the point of inser.
ton. The device works like charm,
the terrible wheeling has ceased, the
incision has healed up beautifully, and
the horse is doing his full days work
and eats his full allowance. The silver
throat can be removed and replaced at
will for cleaning, but is SO arranged as
not to get out of place or cause any in
convenience to the horse. The unique
case of equine surgery can be seen al
most any day at the omnibus Office, on
Race street, between Fourth and Fifth
streets.

A Divorce with a Terrible Origin

ftn A. New York letter to the Baltimore
News says: There is in this city one
most amusing low comedian who has a
reason for never smiling. In his youth
he was the father of a little girl of re
fractory, obstinate disposition. One
day, to punish her for something, he
locked her. in the bedrooms and with
his wife went down stairs to dinner.
Soon the child began to scream in ter
rible manner, which the parents con-
sidered was only temper; but as the
shrieks continued the wife became
alarmed and desired to go to her. He,
however, forbade her doing so, as he
said the child must be taught obedience,
and that she should not gain
her end by screaming. They went on
with their dinner, the fearful shrieks
continuing for. awhile and then ceasing.
AS they were about leaving the table,
smoke began TO pass through the house.
There was fire somewhere. Rushing to
release the poor little girl, they found
her dead. Her clothes had evidently
caught fire from the CRATE, and while
the parents we're eating, the child was
dying. The comedians wife took 8
horror and hatred Of her husband after
this. as she believed that if he had al
lowed her to go to the poor infant she
might have saved her life. They were
divorced; no wonder that man never
smiles off the stage.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Weeds.


The West, we may say the MISSISSIPPI
pi Valley, can beat tho world producing
weeds. The common ''rag-weed," and
other equally common varieties that
grow in the region named, from four to
eight feet high, literally covered with
seed, are considered large in the East
if found from one to two feet high. The
great difference is owing partly to a
rather careless culture, but mostly to
our exceedingly fertile soil, much of
which fertility, we are sorry, is wasted
In the production of weeds. Why, the
weed covered stubble fields of the Mis-
sissippi Valley would be considered
quite wonder in New York or New
Jersey, or almost any of the Eastern
States. If this great growth of weeds
cannot be prevented, can it not be util-
lied? Treat the weeds to heavy ap-
pication of lime, sowed broadcast, and
then turn them under rs deeply as pos
sible. Let this be done at any time af-
ter the weeds have grown up, and you
will scarcely be able to guess at the
productive capacity Of the field for
years. The lime will destroy the seed,
decompose the vegetable matter, and
lay up such store of fertility as will
put both drouth and chinch bugs to
their wits ends.

We find the following is credited to.
a rural paper in Illinois: s DE-. VIII
kins, of Paramount, recently visited q
man and woman in Montgomery county,
Ind, whose ages are respectively LIB
and III years, and who have lived to-
gether In the married state elghty-hve
years.. The name of this ancient couple
is Fruits, and they are the parents of
Mrs. Thomas Williams, of Catlin town
ship. The old man stands up as straight
as a ramrod, and does quite good deal
OF work every day. He has always
been moderate liver, and uses no
tobacco. which is an argument against
tobacco,users. Tut his wife has been a
steady smoker for sixty ears, which is
an arg ument in favor OF tobacco. The
old L.dy is afflicted with q cancer, which
mad it's appearance upon her forehead
forty years ago. and which she is now
do ctoring with coal Oil. At one time
VA her life she weighed 226 pounds, but
! gradually shrunk away till she now tips

GENERAL SUFFER-.
The Discoverer of Califorr... Gold.

The rDiscoverer of Califofr.s Gold.
A Washington letter to the New York
Graphic says: I'd q lt.
''To-day I saw old General Suffer, on
whose land gold was first discovered in
California, stepping out of car on the
avenue. A more pitiable instance of
great old age, uncompensated and neg
lected, l never knew. It was in his
mill race near Sacramento the precious
gold dust was first discovered. He is a
native OF Switzerland, but went to the
Sandwich Islands to cultivate oranges,
and then to the Pacific coast of America,
where he took a large tract of land un-
der Mexican grant, with the hope
that the United States of Ameri-
ca would some day stretch out to
him. But 1t came, like Jupiter to
Danae, in golden shower, and the rush
OF miners tramped over his fields, killed
his herds, and made desolation in place
OF the fair estate they had found. From
that discovery came the most enormous
tribute nature ever paid to man. The
present years yield of gold in Califor-
MIA cannot be less than $780, OO,O 900 in
specie, and while this immense runnel
OF wealth has been flowing for more
than quarter of century, and great
merchants and bankers have been made
by It's possession, poor old Suffer, on
the Drink OF the grave, is unable to find
an ear In which he can tell his story.
lie is now more than eighty years Of
age, and lives in a little cottage at
Litiz, Pa, where he is educating his
grandchildren at a German school.
The whole world has been exercised by
Ralston's fate and Flood and O'Brien 8
fortunes; yet here is the man at the
source of this mighty romance with
scarcely place to lay his head. He is
kindly, gentle OLD person, but he has
passed his age. Some morning during
the session there will be an announce
ment of his death, and then perhaps
Congress will give the tardy stint of its
generosity to the golden farmer He
has claim for damages here"
