James Bayard Taylor.

James Bayard Taylor, whose sudden
death in Berlinis announced, was born in
Kennett Square, Chester County, Pa,
January IL, 1925. He received COM
mon education, took to writing verses in
his youth, started an unsuccessful news
paper in Phenixville, and came to New
York when about twenty years of age.
In 184S he went on the Tribune, and the
connection thus made was never entirely
severed. He went to California in 1S49,
and afterwards traversed large portions
of Europe, Turkey in Asia, Egypt, and
india, and the result of those travels
were given to the world in book form.
He was hard and prolific worker, and
to that his death can be clearly traced.
Mr.. Edmund G. Steadman told re-
porter recently that during the last
years of his life Mr.. Taylor had been do
ing the work of two men every day. In
February last he was appointed Minister
to Germany, an appointment MIR. Hayes
said was one of the few made
where no especial pressure was exerted
by any one in the appointee's behalf
Mr.. Taylor died of dropsical complaint
On Wednesday dispatches were received
to the effect that he was getting better
and the news of his death came to hi!
friends with shocking suddenness. Or
Wednesday he was out of bed transactins
business with the officials of the Amer
ican Legation in Berlin. AfterwarC
the fatal symptoms suddenly appeared
and he died peacefully without pain.

A Mules Mistake.
Detroit Free Press.1

The great respect which mankind has
for the mule is not entirely on account
of that animals fine intellectual quail,
tiles. 1t is rather based on the vigorous
manner in which mule expresses those
sentiments which in person from Bos-
ton would find vent in beautiful and
scholarly language. A mule can draw
a wagon. but it cannot draw fire dis
tinctions. Anything which gets into
first-class kicking position will be vigor-
ously waited heavenward, whether it is
clodhopper or gentleman of culture.
The mule is no respecter of persons. This
unfortunate propensity of kicking alike
the Just and the unjust is what led a
mule in darlington, KY, into trouble.
1t kicked not wisely, but too well. An
employee at the st. Bernard coal mine
left can of nitro-glycerine by the car
track and went away, thinking the ex-
plosive would be IL 'cerine till he came
back. Just then the hero of our story
happened along, drawing with a com
panion mule an empty car. The nigh
mule saw the innocent-iooking can from
the corner of its eye, and no doubt
thought it was some deserving man S
dinner pail. Down went the ears along
that mules back, and with precision
of aim only excelled by some of our De-
troit pigeon shooters. the can caught it
square in the center. The only thing
left of that mule that can be recognized
by its friends are the wheels of the
freight car, and they are somewhat
twisted out of shape. The remains of
the mule are expected down next week,
1t is just;as useless to attempt to~draw
a moral from this painful tale, as tc
attempt to draw what is left of that
empty car.

A Good Horse.

An illustrated paper on the Bulls
Head Cattle and Horse Market of New
York, in Scribnsr for January, says:
Il can't explain what a real good
horse is" said one of the best-natured
dealers in the street. They are as diff
ferent as men. In buying a horse, you
must look first to his head and eyes for
signs of intelligence, temper, courage
and honesty. Unless a horse has brains
you can't teach him anything, any more
than you can half-witted child. See
that tall bay, there, fue-looking ami
NAL, fifteen hands high. You can't
teach that horse anything. Why?
Well, Pll show you difference in
heads; but have a care of his heels
Look at the brute's head, that round
ing nose, that tapering forehead, that
broad, full place below the eyes. You
can't trust him. Kick? Well. I guess
so! Put him in ten-acre lot, where
he's got plenty of swing, and he'll kick
the horn off the moon"
The worlds treatment of man and
beast has the tendency to enlarge and
intensity bad qualities, if they predom-
mate. This good -natured phrenologist
could not refrain from slapping in the
face the horse whose character had been
so cruelty delneated, while he had moth
ing but the gentlest caresses for tall,
docile, sleek-limbed sorrel, that pricked
her ears forward and looked intelligent
enough to understand all that was being
said.
"That's an awful good mare" he
added. She's as true as the sun. You
can see breadth and fullness between
the ears and eyes. You couldn't hire
that mare to act mean or hurt any body.
The eye should be full, and hazel is a

The American in London.

Olive Logan, in one of her recent
London letters, says: The New York
fashions for gentlemen, though hand
some, are not like those of London; and
very naturally when Americans have
been here long enough to require new
clothing, they order from London
tailors. First it is pair of trowsers the,
"go in" for, for the most elegant pair of
which at frst-class tailor believe
they pay but five or six dollars. Very
good ones, made to measure, are adver-
tised all along the Strand and Holborn
for three and four dollars. One enter
prising knight of the Shears in the
Strand has placard up in his window
announcing overcoats, coats and vests
" fixed in the American style "-an
absurd misapprehension of the way the
Americans use the word fix" which,
though often made to serve interchange
ably with "repair, alter" and even
"mend," is never used to mean make
or "cut" new clothes. After the
trowsers, perhaps even before them, the
American in London purchases tall
hat; all slouches, Oxfords, Glencarry
caps and deer-stalking hats, though
quite the thing in the country, are con-
sidered bad form in London. Next in
the list of necessaries comes the coats
and here most Americans hold out long
and firmly. Alongside the neatly
stitched, silk-lined frock-coats of the
best American tailors, the English

Monseer's coat" Tae last fortress to
surrender is in the boot line, and when
an American in London gets himself

sketch last evening-the richly dressed

should rob the peddler in his sleep, and
only use violence in case it were neccs-
sary to secure their safety. When they
entered the ut.building. the smith went
toward Scott's bed, while Richard re-
mained near the door. Finding the
man wanted was not there, Steele and
his son approached the other bed and
found the peddler, knowing it was he
from his bald head. They tried to re-
move the valise on which he slept from
under his head, but he evidently had
his hand in the strap, and the tug awoke
him.
The reader knows the rest from the
story told by Scott. After the smith
and mis- son had quilted the room with
what they supposed was the peddler's
valise, Steele's mind misgave him, and q
dread that Scott had been an observer
of the bloody deed and would recognize
the perpetrators seized him.
He hurried hack to the room, resolved
to brain Scott if he found him awake.
On discovering that the bed was empty
the smith dropped his hammer in
alright, the only explanation to his
mind of Scott's absence being that he
had witnessed the crime and quilted
the place secretly to give the alarm. The
smith and his son departed panic
stricken, and on reaching home discov-
cred, to their intense modification and
disappointment, that the valise for which
they had murdered man and exposed
themselves to the gallows contained only
a few old clothes and Bible. Steele
and his son were hung at York, Decem-
Der 8, 1887.

American Food Supply.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
saws that it is under the above heading
that all the British papers regularly re-
port the statistics in regard to the con-
tribution made by the United States
towards the feeding of Great Britain.
1t was, therefore, no novelty to read in
yesterdays cable dispatches of the
splendid voyage made by the steamer
Brazilian from Boston to England,
with a cargo of live stock, which was
landed in good condition, and without a
single head of cattle or of sheep being
lost during the trip across the Atlantic
in this wintry season. 1t was already
known that similar shipments were made
from Norfolk of Texas and of Western
Virginia cattle; and we had commented
on the advantage of shipping live stock
from the American ports nearest to the
breeding farms. Nevertheless, the lar
gestshipments are made from New York,
and in single week of November our
steamers landed at Liverpool alone
eight hundred and twenty-five head of
cattle and four thousand two hundred
and seventy-ive sheep, together with
four thousand two hundred and ninety
two quarters of beef, one thousand and
thirty-five carcasses of mutton, and
ninety-four pigs.

What Flies Do.

An English chemist named Emerson
publishes in the Scientific American, the
result of his observations of flies, with
which he has experimental. If what
he reports is truthful there should be
more kind hearted Uncle Tobys to ac-
knowledge the debt we owe these in
sects. Did you ever watch fly who
has just alighted after soaring about
the room for some little time? He goes
through series of operations which
remind you of cat licking herself after
a meal, or of bird pluming its feathers.
First the hind feet are rubbed together,
then each hind leg is passed over a wing,
then the fore legs undergo a like treat
ment; and lastly, if you look sharp, you
will see the insect carry his proboscis
over his legs and about his body as far
as he can reach. The minute trunk is
perfectly retractile, and 1t terminates in
two large lobes, which you can see spread
out when the insects begin meal on
lump Of sugar. Now the rubbing to-
gether of legs and wings may be sooth-
ing operation, but for what purpose is
this careful going over the body with
the trunk, especially when that organ is
not fitted for licking, but simply for
grasping and sucking up food. On plac-
ing a fly under microscope, to the in
vestigator's disgust, it ap peared COW
cred with lice. Mr.. Emerson concluded
that here was something which at once
required looking into. Why were flies
lousy? The fly seemed to take his
position very coolly, and extending his
proboscis, began to sweep itover his
body, as if he had just alighted. A
glance through the microscope, how
ever, showed that the operation was not
one of Standardization, for wherever
the lice were there the trunk went. The
lice disappeared into the trunk, and the
fly was eating them. He took the paper
into the kitchen and waved it, taking
care that no flies touched it, went back
to the microscope and there found ami
malcules, the same as on flies He had
now arrived at something definite; the
animalcules were floating in the air, and
the quick mptions of the flies gathered
them on their bodies and the flies then
went into some quiet corner to have their
dainty meal. The Investigator goes on
describing how he continued the expert
ment in variety of localities, and how,
in dirty and bad smelling quarters, he
found the myriads of flies which existed
there literally covered with animal
cules, while other flies captured in bed
rooms, or ventilated, clean apartments,
were miserably lean, .and entirely free
from prey. Wherever filth existed,
evolving germs which might generate di-
sease, there were the flies covering them
selves with minute organisms, and
greedily devouring the same.
