George Law .

George Law, who died November
18th in New York at ripe old age,
started te earn his living as bod car
rier. Being quick witted and indus
trious he soon mastered the brick-layer' s
trade, turned contractor and amassed
millions. Twenty years ago he was as
conspicuous in New York business af-
fairs as Commodore Vanderbilt. Every
thing he touched turned to gold. 81
have often thought" said Thurlow
Weed, speaking Of the death of Mr.
Law recently, ''that if three of the most
successful business men this country
has ever produced-Commodore Van
derbilt, Dean Richmond and George
Law-were to 60 competitive exam
ination in these days of civil service re-
form as candidates for positions in the
Custom House or Post Office, they could
not get places as night watchmen in
the Collectors office or letter carrier in
the postal service" Mr.. Weed said he
had in his possession letters from all
three of these gentlemen, in which not
word containing three syllables
was spelled correctly. Mr.. Law, he
said, was a strong-minded, self-made
man, with good deal of energy, and
all of his faculties were concentrated
upon money making. He was not So
cially inclined, was reticent and talked
but little but he was man of indom-
liable will. He had no education, or
at NEST a limited one. Mr. Weed said
he could remember of but one instance
in which Mr.. Law was interested in
anything but money making transac-
tons. This was when he was put for
ward by the New York Herald as a
for President in 1885, Sim
gular as it may seem, Mr.. Law was
urged for, and desired, the Know
Nothing nomination, though his parents
were Irish. 1t is believed that he leaves |
behind fortune of twenty millions. |
He was never charitably inclined, and |
it is not thought that he has bequeathed |
any of his wealth to benevolent institu-
tions.

STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Tom LaVt0n. One OF the Murdercrs OF
TullfS, Arrested In Eureka.
[ Eureka Sentinel, 9th ]

Eureka Sentinel, 9th
Last night about IL O'Clock man
who has been hanging about Tommy
Douglas saloon for the last two or three
days was arrested on suspicion of being
the notorious Tom Lawton, one of the
accomplices of the dastardIy murder of
Tulis near Sacramento in the Summer
of 1873 Since that time Lawton, who
is the only one of the three accomplices
who escaped hanging, has been at large,
Anderson and Troy Dye, the two others,
being executed, and has successfully
evaded the detectives everywhere, al
though large rewards have been offered.
Many men have been arrested and ex-
amined for the notorious murderer in
all parts of the Pacific Coast Git being
reported once that he was skulking
along the Humboldt River,) but have
been released one after another, with
out Identification, so that the search
seemed at last given up as hopeless.
The man arr ested here gives his name
as Charles Klein, and says he is a Ger
man, which he evidently is not His
appearance corresponds generally with
the description given Lawton. He is
rather under the ordinary height; has
light complexion; small, sharp gray
eyes, slightly crossed, and white eye
lashes and eyebrows. He seems about
35 years old. He has hyena look, by
which he might be taken for murder
er under any circumstances. But in
addition to his general likeness to Law
ton, as the latter is described, he has
mole on his left arm, hall way between
the elbow and wrist, which is mark
that Lawton bore. Besides there is a
man here, whose name is withheld for
the present for reasons of prudence,
who says he is ready to swear that this
is the veritable Tom Lawton, as he
knew him in Sacramento. This man
pointed out the culprit to the Sheriff
and gave Information that led to his ar
rest. Sheriff Kyle will telegraph this
to the Chief of Police at Sac
for further information by
which the prisoner may be identified
he be the murderer or not he
looks wondrously like him, and cur Of
ficers are to be commended for their
vigilance in taking him in.

1t is rumored in army circles that
Advocate General Swain has affirmed
the finding of the Court-martial in the
Whitaker case. He has spent months
going over 1000 pages Of testimony,
and has given the matter the most
thorough sitting. 1t is said that the
Court-martial convicts Whitaker of
mutilating his own ears, and he sus-
tains the verdict as based upen the evil
dence bearing upon the case. 1t is be-
lieved, therefore, that the end of the
whole matter will be that Whitaker
will be dismissed, and his case will dis
appear at least from public view.

Pitcairn island, an isolated spot in the
Pacific Ocean, is one of the happiest
little places. Russell Mccoy, the Chief
Magistrate of that diminutive COM
munity, while in San Francisco, assert
ed that his dot Of a country is inhabited
by ninety-six of the happiest persons in
the world. The climate is delightful,
the growth of fruit abundant, and the
conditions of life generally comfortable.
His own Office is sinecure, for there
are no disputes of consequence, and law
lessness is unknown. The people are
communistic to degree, sharing their
goods freely with the needy, and divid-
ing the land equitably. He declares
that none of them would leave the
island.

As to ladies attending the theater
unescorted, feminine writer says in
the W0mdn's Journal. 81 remember
once or twice, when sent by newspa-
per going to Booths performance with
a woman whose years and dignity
ought to have been protection for both
of u.s. But the sheer and disturbance
came, not from men, who showed stud
led courtesy, recognizing the situation,
but from ladies Of polish, whose looks
of insolent question and condemnation
would have been bestowed upon women
of the street, rather on two quietly
dressed, quiet-mannered women in a
polite audience, meeting to share a re-
fined pleasure. Nothing in my life
rankles or stirs me more than the alb
solute barbarity of the look of we'll
dressed, cultivated, protected. woman,
leaning on the arm of her husband, bent
on two plain. shrinking sisters, who
committed the crime of going to Booths
Theater by stage from their own door
unattended"

Miss Clara Louise KELLOGG,

Miss Clara Louise Kellogg, the Amer
lean prima donna, has long enjoyed u
high reputation in the operate world,
and although she has chiefly been iden-
titled with opera, Cloth Italian and En-
gliSh) in the United States, she has won
n high position in Europe by the purity
and beauty of her vocaliSm. 1t may al
SO be said that there are few who have
gained greater amount of social eS-
teen than Miss Kellogg, who is not on
ly finished and charming vocalist, but
a highly cultivated and Intellectual lady
whose kindness of heart and amiability
Of disposition are equal to her great ar
tistic merits Miss Kellogg was born at
Sumpter, :. c., in 1913, and made her
first appearance at the Academy of
Music, New York, in 1860, Her first
attempts gave little promise of her fu-
ture powers, but Col. H. G., Stebbins
was SO much pleased with her, that he
undertook the further charge of her
musical education, ald four years after
wards, as Margherita in Gounod's
Faust, " she indicated her title TO be
considered genuine artist.
As an actress, in such parts as Gilda,
Margherita, etc, etc, she exercises u
potent charm over her audiences, and
her striking personal advantages add to
the destinations of her vocaliAations and
acting. Few artists have ever enjoyed
such general popularity extending over
an unusually long career for lyric ar
fist of the first rank, She has received
many testimonials of her popular adj
miralion, and has gained a handsome
fortune by the practice of her art Many
acts of generosity are recorded of her
toward poor and struggling artists.

The Doughnut.

The Doughnut has been favorably
mentioned in literature and it fills an
honored place in our memories Of child
hood; but the doughnut which is rolled
in pulverized sugar and which has Il
raisin in the center poa ''ses an ideal
grace never attained by the plain fried
cake, or even by the ring. Take three
pints of -four, piece OF butter about
the size Of hens egg, one cup sugar,
one egg, n small bowlful of milk or wa
ter, -four or five teaspoonfuls OF baking
powder; flavor with nutmeg or CHINA
mon. The dough made in this way will
be thin, and you will need to sprinkle
flour enough over it and on the knead-
ing-board to roll it out nicely. Cut the
cakes out with biscuit-cutter; then
take a knife and insert it at the edge of
the cake until the point Of the knife is
at the center; then take out the knife
and put the raisin in; press and flatten
the cake and cut it out again with the
biscuit-cutter. This operation prevents
the rai,n from bursting out when the
cake rises,

The Dignity Of Housekeeping.

GOethe's Wilhelm Mester.
Where is there any station higher
than the ordering OF the housep While
the husband has to vex himself with out
ward matters, while he has wealth to
gather and secure, while perhaps he
takes part in the administration of the
State, and everywhere depends on cir
cumstances; ruling nothing may say,
while he conceiyes that he is ruling
much; compelled TO be but polite where
he would willingly be reasonable, to
dissemble where he would be open, to
be false where he would be upright;
while thus, for the sake OF an object
which he never reaches, he must every
moment sacrifice the first of objects,
harmony with himself--a reasonable
housewife is actually governing in the
interior of her family; has the comfort
and activity OF every person in it to pro-
vide for, and make possible. What is
the highest happiness of mortals, if not
to execute what we consider right and
good, to be really masters Of the means
conducive to our aims? And where
should or can our nearest aims be but
in the interior of our home? All those
indispensable and still to be renewed
supplies, where do we expect, do we re-
quire to find them, ii not in the place
where we rise and where we 90 to sleep,
where kitchen and cellar, and every spe-
ciCS of accommodation for ourselves
and ours is to be always ready? What
unyarying activity is needed to conduct
this constantly recurring series in un-
broken living order! How few are the
men to whom It is given to return regu-
larly like star, to command their day
rs they command their night; to form
for Themselves their household instru-
mcnts, TO SOW and to reap, to gain and
To cXpeud and to travel around their
circle with perpetual success and peace
and love, II i, when woman has at
tanned this inward mastery, that she
truly makes the husband whom she
loves a master; her attention will re-
Juire all sorts of knowledge; her activi-
" will turn them all to profit Thus is
she dependent upon no one; and she
procure, her husband genuine indepen-
lencc, that which is interior and do
nestle; whatever he possesses, he be-
holds secured; what he earns, well emu
ployrd; and thus he can direct his mind
10 lofty objects and, if fortune fayors,
he may act in the State the same char
acter which so well becomes his wife at
home.

The Berkshire White Horse

Perhaps the biggest horse in the world
is the "White Horse of Berkshire 1t
is figure 10 yards long, cut in the side
OF a hill. A long way of it looks as
though drawn in chalk lines, but the
outlines are really deep bitches in the
soil, kept clean and free from grass by
the people, who take great pride in it,
The bitches are six yards wide and two
feet deep. The eye Of the horse is four
feet across, and the ear is fifteen yards
long. II can be seen for sixteen miles
When the time comes to clear out the
bitches. the people make n sort of pic
mic of it, and play all sorts Of rustic
games. Who made the white Horse"
or what for, is not known. II Is very old.

j had been with a friend to visit a
lime-kiln wherein a patent process was
in operation. My friend, resident in
a Yorkshire village, took deep interest
in its moral and spiritual welfare, -
Some few weeks previously he had in
dulged one of his idiosyncracies in a
crusade against "Tobacco,n and had
quoted, as an instance of the unnatural
ness of the acquired taste of it, the in
stinctive repugnance manifested by the
animal kingdom to the narcotic weed.
cannot tell what be thought when we
were shown by the men at the lime-kiln,
who happened to be his committeeman
or members Of his society, a donkey
with an unmistakable liking fora chew.
To put the assertion to the test, | gave
boy plug of tobacco for the donkey.
Neddy Immediately Doll it and chewed
as gravely as an American Senator.
When he had done, he showed his
teeth and INDUCED in u grin as broad
as that of any Cheshire cat. For my
own part | interpreted the grin as a
grin of disgust, for the donkey refused
second plug from me, but when the
boy again took a handful he pricked
up his ears, eat it from his hand, and
munched as gravely as before.
