Warden Craig, cf the Iowa Fort Madi
son Penitentiary, "got in his work T" for
the snug little sum Of 5000. 1000, that Is
known of, and the State is so much the
loser. He ought to be named the Iowa
Tweed.
The way in which Major Bernard en-
couraged his men to chargeupon the hos
tile Bannocks by threatening to shoot
them if they ran away recalls recent
incident in China A Chinese General
was sent with an army against force of
insurgents who had repeatedly vanquish-
ed the imperial troops. When his forces
went into battle, tie General, a man of
ferocious aspecr and gigantic stature, sta
toned himself in the rear With a big
cub. He knocked down fugitive after
fugitive, and swung his club with such
effect that his frightened soldiers conclud-
ed that they would be safer in the front,
and made a headlong and successful
charge upon the enemy. In the Amer
lean army, the Chinese method of encour-
aging soldiers is novelty. .s@

Col. Forney in one of his late letters
from Paris makes the following compari-
son between the habits Of the populace
in London and the French capital
"On the subject Of dissipation, there is a
uida 6;otinc+ionr hatuaan +nn ruorl;ncr
classes of London and Paris. In London
the gin shop is the resort of men, women
and children. There are no such dens in
Paris. I went out a few days ago to eat
some American waffles at little French
cafe. It was in crowded French quarter,
where the work people lived and labored,
and both the cafe and customers were as
clean an orderly as if they had been on
the Boulevard Italien. The streets and
the gardens are the resorts Of the Paris
poor in good, and the cafes never, even
in bad weather and I noticed when I sat
in the little restaurant I'refer to, that those
who, came to buy refreshments always
took light wines, and that there were no
women patrons at the bar.
In 1888 Stevens T. Mason was Governo
of Michigan. His beautiful and accom-
plished sister, Emily, presided over his
household. During this time Gen. Cass'
only son, Lewis Cass, Jr., was a student at
West Point, and during his vacations was
much IN the society of Miss Mason. He
was smitten by her beauty and accom-
plisments but never summoned the ccur-
age to propose. Her father died suddenly
and she returned to her home in Virginia.
During the war of the REBELLION most of
her property was lost, and after the war
she took up her abode in Paris. Many
years before this Major Cass had estab-
lished himself. in The French capital.
The two met, and the concealed passion
of former years was rekindled and the
Major proposed, but she said she had re
solved never to marry. He asked her to
do him the honor Of granting him her
friendship Then until his death, she
was his companion in that friendship in
which the French in the decline OF life
know so well how to associate, and he
dying suddenly, she closed his eyes and
took charge Of his remains. He bequethed
n his will $4,000 to Miss Mason, and
made her the joint executrix of the tesla

B The colossal fortune OF the late A. T.
Stewart, it IS alleged is fast melting
away. This is owing to the lack OF
sense and bad management Of Judge
Hilton who was rendered top-heavy by
Stewards bequesto of a million of dollars
and by being assigned to the position Of
head manager Of the great establishment
He needlessly and foolishly, with pomp.
Gus superciliousne insulted the Jews al
Saratoga, causing the entire Hebrew race
in this country to withdraw their large
and very valuable patronage from the
wholesale establishment. And now, on
assigning reason for closing the vaunt-
ted "Woman's Hotel" he grossly offers
an insult to universal womanhood, and
the high spirited ladies of New York,
and the country. are Withdrawing their
custom from the great retail store. The
Park Hotel formerly the w. mans Ho-
tell is now losing from three to four hun

be closed, as it will be a less loss to let
