A Story OF a Watch,

In the "Causerie" Of the Boston Tran
script good story is retold. One of
John Jacob Astor's captains had sailed
six voyages 10 China without chro-
nometer. depending on "dead reckoning'
and "lunars." Just before starting on
the seventh voyage he suggested to Mr..
Astor that it would be safer to have Il
chronometer. 'Wcll, get one" said the
merchant. The Captain did so, and
entered its cost in his account cur
rent When Mr.. Astor's eye fell
upon the item he drew his pencil
through it. The Captain expos
tulated. "Tam it, man." said Astor,
tolt you to get one; | didn't say I'd pay
for it," The Captain severed his con
nection then and there, went into Wall
street, engaged with other owners, and
before night was in commanded as fine
a ship as ever foated in New York's
beautiful bay. In three days he was
ready for sea, and set sail. At the same
time Astor's ship, under the command
of new Captain, set sail also. They
had race for Hong Kong, but the Cap
tain, who, as he used to put it, had dis.
charged John Jacob Astor, by keeping
the man at the braces, took advantage Of
every puff of wind, and won by three
days. The ship was loaded in the
shortest time possible, and before
As!or's vessel, which had arrived
was half loaded, our Captain
weighed anchor aud with full cargo of
tea set sail for Sandy Hook, arrived in
good time, got his shS alongside the
wharf, and began hosting out his cargo,
which was sold by auction on the spot.

Vance Looking out for His Sons.

We regret to hear the friends of Gov.
Vance severely criticising him for giving
his son the clerkship of the Committee on
Enrolled Bills. OF course his enemies
will not be satisfied with anything he
may do; but his friends should get infor-
nation before they talk 80 much about
his "nepotism." IT'S true, the Governor
in 1876, had much to say about "red-
legged grasshoppers," and Grants rela-
tives in office; however these same friends
ought to recollect that there is some
difference between Gov. Vance and his
two sons living on the United States
Treasury, ard wicked Radicals drawing
money from the same source.

a Big Inheritance Fades.


Our readers will remember our story
about the Patrick estate; how $50, 900 900
were awaiting the descendants of the Cor
ham branch of the family, and how a
lawyer had been here from New York to
look the matter up. We learn from Mr..
Trstram Stevens that the lawyer appears
to have been, from subsequent develop
ments, fraud, and may have been some
thing worse. 1t appears that he
went out to Mr.. Stevens cousins and
passed the night and was Hospitality en-
tertained. The next day he came in
town to Mr.. Stevens store and had a talk
with him about his family gencaIogy.
Mr.. Stevens could not get the man to say
whom he got his starting-p int from.
The second day-the day the item ap-
peared in the Press-the lawyer went to
Mr.. Stevens store, and there Portland
gentleman came i'll whose wife was Pat.

all ne could about the matter. He asked
so many questions that the stranger got
up, went out, and evidently left
town, and has not been seen since.
Since he left some of Mr.. Stevens

that city says the description of the law

thirty-two years ago, lived in the same
family with the correspondents father
He was called Charles Bragdon, and was
afterward known as DIR. Bradley, and

Mr.. Stevens thinks from the
lawyers sudden departure he thought the
the gentleman detective, and that his
object in coming to Portland was to get
money out of the Patricks, ostensibly to
work up their claim to the Patrick es-
ate.

This glutted the market, for the con-
sumption was comparatively small in
those days, and when Astor's ship came
in prices had fallen. Two days later, as
the Captain was sauntering down Broad

much did that chronometer cost yeu%
asked the latter. "Six hundred dollars" :"
"Vcll," said Astor, "dat was sheap. 1t

The Empress of Austria was filed with
wonder on meeting Mr.. Kavanagh, NJ. P.
for County of Carlow, with the Kildare
hounds. He was born without legs or
arms. In place of legs he has six inches
of muscular thigh stumps, one being
about an inch shorter than its fellow;
while his arms are dwarfed to perhaps
four inches of the upper portion of these
members, and are unfinished with any
termination approaching to hands. Yet
he is beautiful caligraphist, a dashing
huntsman, an artistic draughtsman, an
unerring shot, an expert yachtsman, and
drives four-in-hand. In writing he holds
the pen Or pencil in his mouth and guides
its course by the arm stumps, which are
long to meet across the chest.
When hunting he sits in kind of saddle
basket and his reins are managed with
expertness and ease.

CHICAGO, April 4.-The Coroner's Jury
last night, in the case OF DIR. Henry Meyer
and Mrs Gelderman, rendered a verdict
holding them both without bail, for the
murder Of his wife, Ida Meyer, and her hus-
band, Henry Geldernan. The third of a
grain of calchicone or English saffron, a
very deadly poison, was found in Mrs.
Meyers stomach and a full grain OF strych-
nine in thatof Gelderman. Eighteen ounces
OF chloroform was also administered. DR..
Meyer and Mrs GeIderman were old lovers
and kept up an intimacy after their mar
riase. When his wife and her husband
were got out of the way last fall he at once
began to openly visit her and take her to
the opera, exciting a suspicion which led
to their arrest.

THE NEW STYLE,
Running In the Saloon. Keepers.

They had a spotter out yesterday
trying to catch people in the act of
selling beer and other liquors. The
fellows name is Jack West, and his
character is not a very reputable one.
During yesterday West occupied his
time in slipping into the side door of
saloons to playthe informer. Getting
into the back yard of Bob Church's,
on Second street, the genial Robert
found West and gathered an iron
poker to lather his head. Roberts
saloon was closed as. tight as a bottle,
and he at once had the fellow arrested
for trespass. West said in explana-
tion that he had been hired by Dr..
Porter at two dollars per day to spot
saloon keepers for violating Sunday
orders, but not being able to show
any authority he was carried
to the station. This forenoon a war
rant was sworn out against West for
trespass and vagrancy. Church was
asleep at the time the man endeavored
to enter his premises, and he was
aroused by an emplOye, whereupon he
at once caused the arrest of West
The charge of Vagrancy it is not be-
lieved can be sustained. A strong
feeling was indicated against West in
the evening at the station house, and
it is said a number of saloon keepers
indicated a disposition to handle him
roughly. West, it is said, has a num-
Der of names Of saloon keepers who
have been guilty of selling liquor
in violation Of orders. The charges
against him will be inquired into to-
morrow, If it is a fact that West was
employed to sneak into the side or
back doors of saloons with the object
stated, it speaks rather discreditably
for all concerned. 1t is said he pro-
poses to visit Pinch next Sunday, and
some Of the boys are expected to lay
low for him. This is a new way to
enforce a bad law. An odious feature
connected with it i sthat his alleged
employer will sit in judgment against
those on whom West informs, and it is
hardly to be supposed that he can deal
fairly in such cases.

The main bank ofthe river from the
mouth Of Wolf river to Frames
Island, a distance of nearly half a
mile, continues to slide and cave in
the most rapid manner. Boatmen say
unless breakwaters are built to pro-
tect the shore great damage is likely
TO result to the banks below Wolf
river. 1t has caved in at least 200
feet during the past year.
The grounding could not be lured
from his hiding place by the seductive
warmth of last week. 1t is just six
weeks to-day since the cunning var
mint came out to view the weather
situation and was warned by his
shadow in the sunlight to creep back
to his nest again. The sensible ground
hog is not to be deceived by a few

The thunder reared, the lightning
flashed and the rain fell heavily last
night. Streets were turned into rivu-

angry torrents in miniature and the
sidewalks we're washed cleaner than

good rain performs better scavenger

LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY.
Himyar Lets Down. -MlsfOrtunes of Gen.
eraI BufOrd, the Well-knOwn
Turfman.

LEXINGTON, March 14.-Himyar,
the splendid racer belonging to Major
b. G. Thomas, which let down in a
race last year, and was thought to be
quite recovered, has just let down
again in his back. He weakened in
the same place before.
General Abe Buford, who by this
time should have become accustomed
to misfortune, for it has logged his
footsteps continually for some years, is
now in deep trouble, and one that will
excite tho sympathy of his friends of
the turf all over the country. Closely
following the death of his beloved
wife, the ohildless and widowed old
man was forced to a sale of all his
property of every sort, including
his much-loved and highly-prized
race-horses. The sale will come
off this month. But while that
is a loss, the following is an an
merited disgrace: Yesterday morning,
in Versailles, General Buford was
committed to Jail by order of court for
failing to pay over certain moneys and
property over which the general SAYS
he had no control, the property
having been levied upon and seized
by the sheriff Immediately after the
death of his wife, and is now, includ.
ing all his property exempted by law,
in tho hands of the sheriff. The order
was issued by Judge Hunt upon a
Judgment in favor of Wakefield &
Buckley, of Frankfort. The general
and his friends were not surprised, but
shocked at the proceeding. Great
sympathy exists in the community for
the general in this his hour of trouble,
and he has no lack of friends ready
and willing to assist him.
