The Difference.

A resident of Charlotte avenue wanted
ceiling frescoed, and the other day he
encountered colOred man who said he
would take the job and do it in fine style
for so. The citizen was surprised at
the low price, but told the man to 90
ahead. He went home the other noon
and found the colored man just brushing
on the last of second coat of whitewasb,
and there was q row.
:" You great big two-fsted dolt, didn't
l bargain with you to fresco this ceiling9"
shouted the citizen.
Yes, sab, was the prompt reply.
"And you call that fresco work, do
you9"
eyes, sah."
" Why, you COMPOUNDED idiot, fresco
work is done with paint"
"Some fresco work is, and some fresco
work is done wild whitewash-dere's de
difference, you see. Long as you didn't
say muffin bout paint, 1 concluded to
follow in de track of de old masters and
put on dis mighty fine lime, which cost
a heap of money, considering de times. 4"
The whitewasher will take fifty cents
on the dollar for his claim against that
citizen. Free Press.

A Recommend.

When Justice Potter reached his office
yesterday morning a man about forty
years old and decidedly old-fashioned In
looks was there waiting for him. He
talked about the weather for while, and
then remarked
GA man down here on Larned street
sent me to you, saying that you could
recommend me to some nice-looklng
widow"
The court has become used to such
applications, and without betraying any
surprise he gave the stranger written
directions to find widow who lives In
the northern part of the city. The man
went away, but returned in the course OF
two hours, one of his eyes growing black
and blue, a scratch on his nose, torn
coat-collar, and a generally unsettled
look. He sat down, pulled up his pant
leg to exhibit the marks of dog-bite,
pointed to his eye and grimly observed
CT believe you recommended me to a
widow"
eyes"
"But she didn't want to marry-didn't
seem to care anything about the holy
bonds of wedlock I"
"I didn't think she would |" sighed
his honor, as he turned to his law books
again.
The stranger looked at him for five or
six minutes, and then out without an
other word. Detroit Free Press.

Some Rich PeOple.

Two remarkable bills of exchange ap-
peared in the New York money market d
few days since. They were for 100000
francs each, drawn by the Aston estate
on Hottinguer, of Paris, and indorsed by
John Jacob Aston and the National Bank
of Commerce. these bills were bought
by August Belmont & Co., and in the
course of transmission will probably go
to the Rothschilds, of Paris, and receive
their Endorsement, and finally be accept
ed by, Hottinguer. The combined wealth
Represented by the names that will be
written upon these bills is something,
we believe, without precedent. The
aggregate wealth of the Rothschilds Is
set down by eminent French authority
at 81, 200, 900, 900; the Astors may be
put down for $3.50, 900, 900 the Bank Of
Commerce has capital of $40, 900, 900 I;
August Belmont is estimated to be worth
10000, 900, and Hottinguer $50, 0O0,-

Family Discussions.

Yesterday noon bold, bad boy who
lives on Columbia street went home from
school and said "Dear mother, mayn't
I go in my bare feet this afternoon
None of the boys wear shoes in the
spring." But his mother said "No,
my darling boy, 1 cannot let you go
bare-footed, and if you tease me about
it, will waffle your tender cuticle with
the unkind end of a cheerful skate
strap" So the bold, bad boy closed t q
debate with a sigh, and when the yeas
and nays were called his motion did not
prevail, and the house soon after adj
journed. But the boy went out of the
yard by the alley-way and took off his
shoes and stockings, and hid them be-
hind the wood-pile, and scudded merrily
off to school, and everybody admired his
fiat, muddy bare feet. But when he got
out of school the ground was covered
with snow, and he had a very solemn
time hippity-hopping back home, and
when he got there he couldn't tell the
woodpile from q haystack, and his shoes
and stockings might as well have been
in the middle of the ocean for all the
good they did him. So be went into the
house, and, after great deal OF fihbus-
tering, he made bis report, which was
tabled, and the house went into commit
tee of the whole on the state of the boy.
His mother took the floor, and after an
exciting and highly interesting session
the committee rose and the house adj
journed, while the boy rubbed such por-
tions of his anatomy AS he could reach,
and framed bill for the more perfect
prevention of chilblains. Huntington

A Sad Scene.

That must have been sad procession
of editors, says the Chicago Tribune,
which filed out of the dining-room In
Port Royal the other day. They were
on an excursion, and had been received
at the Port Royal station with beating
drums, gay banners, and crowd OF tu-
multuous and enthusiastic citizens. The
Chairman of the Reception Committee,
mounted on q barrel, made them a
speech of welcome, and they were then
taken for supper to building over which
the word Welcome was displayed IN
gigantic letters. Supper being over, the
excursionists prepared for stroll about
town. At the door they encountered an
ELUSIVE citizen, who calmly extended his
hand. They shook it and called him
{" brother" but he calmly and sternly
said to every man, "Seventy-five cents,
if you please" And every man paid.
II was sad scene.

WashinytOn,s will.

The Richmond (Va. correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes: The
search for Washington's little Ratchet
has proved entirely unsuccessful. A,
few body-servants and some half dozen
carriages that George rode in at sundry
times were, however, discovered, and
taken to the Centennial. s Ut
Washington's will is on file at Fair
fax Court House, where it is seen and
handled by the curious travellers Who
by chance, come that way. An apphca
ton has been made to the Legislature to
deliver the will into the hands of Col.
M. ID. Ball, editor of the Alexandria
Sentinel, to be taken to the Centennial,
and to be Autographed. He offers to
give bond $4,000 for its safe return.
Independent of the irdisposition to aid
the Centennial, there have been serious
objections made to allowing the docu-
ment to go out of the State. 1t is pro-
posed by some to have the will brought
to the State Library at Richmond, there
to be deposited, and to be Autographed
by proper parties.
In the Land Office, at the capitol, there
are plenty of surveys made by Washing
ton. He wrote nice, clear hand, and
drew his plats with great nicely and skill.
80 1t appears from them.

A French Railway Horror.

A London letter, speaking of the ter
rible railroad calamity at Ill, France,
caused by the breaking of a bridge,
owing to the heavy rain-storms, says;
"The carriages fell on top of each other,
and Immediately disappeared in the river,
where they were broken up by the
strength of the stream. Those OF the
travellers who were not killed by the fall,
we're unable to escape from the wagons
in which they were imprisoned, and they
were carried down the river until they
were dashed to pieces against rocks, or
SLOWLY drowned. Over thirty bodies
have already been recovered, but this,
unfortunately, does not represent all the
victims of the accident"

A Family Living on Dog Meat.

Mr.. Frank Scheur lives at "a Berlin
street, Newark. He is q laborer In
Blanchard's tannery. His fellow la
borers for a time looked with envy
upon the juicy fresh meat that
Scheur had for his dinner every day,
unable to understand how he made his
small wages go far enough to support
family and furnish himself daily with
fresh meat. One day, in answer to an
inquiry, he said "Thati is not mutton;
that is dogs meat. 1t is good. Will
you try it," They did hot try it, al
though they could hardly persuade
themselves that he spoke the truth.
Scheur smiled at their scruples. He
even asked some of his fellow laborers
to visit him, and when they did so he
pointed to the kennels, in which
were several dogs fattening for the
knife.
When the facts were noised abroad
they created no little scandal. The
neighbors wondered how Scheur had
been able to keep so many kogs, and
why he changed them 80 often, but none
had suspected the truth. They had very
little to do with Mrs. Scheur, and no
feeling of friendship prevented them
making as much talk as they pleased. AS
Schuer and his wife could not under
stand the language and the scandalous
reports, they went on fattening, killing
and eating dogs.
Complaint of Scheur's doings was
made to Newark's Health Inspector, who
found that all that had been alleged
against Scheur was true, but there
was no law forbidding the use Of
dogs meat for food. Scheur told
him candidly that he ate dog meat not
because he was poor, but because he
liked it.
Frank Scheur was found handling
wet hides in Blanchard's tannery. He
is about five feet high and of very
slim build. He answered questions
without embarrassment or show OF
shame.
"Do you eat dog m, because you
like it 2"
eyes it is the best me...
How long is il since you ate it
first"
"Oh, four or five years before came
from Germany. A doctor told me 20
eat dog, and it would cure my con-
sumption. / did so, and liked it so
well that have been eating it ever
SINCE"
"What meat is it most like 2"
Mutton or veal. That is, when the
dog is young. If it is old it gets strong,
and have to season it high with pepper
and vinegar"
"Where do you get your dogs9"
whenever 1 see stray dog that
looks hungry, take it home and feed il
until it gets fat. Then, whenever per-
son gets tired of his dog, and wants to
get rid of him, / take him."
"Your neighbors don't seem to like
living alongside of a man who eats
dogs?"
"Oh, if they don't like II, let them &c
away. They don't have to eat it. Dog
meat is better than pork, any day. /
don't quarrel with them because they
eat pork. "-Ne,o York Sun.

The New York Sun says The voca-
ton of claimant hunting is of far greater
importance than some will imagine. The
number of missing heirs and other per-
sons who might hear OF something to
their advantage, the number Of heirless
intestates and unclaimed properties in
the British Isles, Australia, India, and
other British colonies, and in the United
States, the number of persons who are
entitled to fortunes of which they know
not, is astonishing. In the savings
banks of New York and Brooklyn
alone is nearly million dollars of un-
claimed deposits, for which no demand
has been made in years The following
figures show some of the amounts
Bowery Savings Bank sy0,5I2
Emisrant Industrial Savings Bank. ......... 1919
Bank for Savings in city Of New York 1915, 1885
Seamans Bank for Savings. ............. lS0, 400
Brooklyn Savings Bank. Observation-Disclosures. 1887
These deposits represent thousands of
persons, many of whom are doubtless
dead. Where are their heirs and repre-
sentatives2 No doubt, many are in
this very city, perhaps in extreme desti-
tuition.
But it is in communities long settled
that unclaimed estates assume enormous
proportions, like the fortune in the
Wandering jew" under the magic in
huence of lapse of time and compound
interest. In the English Court of Chan
Gerry, in the possession of the Account
ant-general, $4,000, 900 sterling ($25,
600. 000) awaits the coming of rightful
owners. In the Bank of England near
| ly 93, 500,0 900 is invested, to which in
terest and dividends are added yearly,
| but to which no one has shown title.
Nearly FL, 800, 900, known as " army and
navy prize money!" awaits in England
the widows and orphans or legal repre-
sentatives of soldiers engaged in the cap
ture of Java in 1911. Millions of prop
erty have escheated to the Crown, and
estates have been in its possession over q
hundred years, which the rightful own
ers could doubtless recover even at this
day upon producing proof OF their title.
Millions are in the possession of the
East India House, and millions more IN
the hands of trustees. Thousands Of
emigrants have come to the United
States and have for long periods drop
ped all communication with their kin a.
home. Whole families have died ou
there, leaving large amounts by will ant
in trust for their relatives in America
but their relatives in America have lef
no vestiges by which they may b.
traced. They are searched for, but arr
never found. Large sums are expended
in advertising for them, but the adver
tisements never meet their eye.
