Queer People in the CatskiIls.
From the Traveler.l

from L0e ITaV6i6r.J
There are some queer people in the
Catskills. The other day and friend
called at the "Trip Van Wrinkle House,"
got two milk punches, two more ditto,
and two cigars. / handed the elderly
Ganymede behind the bar SIS. After
much thought he handed me back SIS. 40
"You've made mistake" said I.
"That's so" said he, after more
thought. Then ne scooped in the SIS
and left me the 40 cents. "That's an
other mistake" said I. After much de-
liberation he pushed over the S. bill to
me and said: "Oh, pay when you
come again." "But I'm not coming
again." persisted. That troubled him.
With great mental effort he figured up
for a full minute. The compound ar
ithmetical problem was too much for
him. "Oh, take drink and call it
square ," said he. Queer people, the
Catskillians. In one respect they are
like the peace of God-they pass all I'M
derstanding.

A Remarkable Garden.
(Frcm the Christian Union.l


The finest specimen of carpet garden
ing in this country may be seen in the
grounds of Mr.. John Hoey, at Long
Branch. To those who have never seen
it, it will prove a genuine surprise, as
being unlike anything they ever have
imagined in the way of gardening. The
bed which is shout twenty lone feet wide
by eighty-two feet long, is surrounded
on all sides by walk, and has for Dor
dering row of achyranthus, followed
by seven or eight rows of echevarias,
better known as house leeks" or "o old
hen and chickens" The latter are in
different sizes and varieties, and alto
gether constitute a bordering of about
two feet. The ground is then raised
about eight inches, the sides of the
raised surface being planted with ohio
mans. The surface itself, which is
about nineteen feet wide by eighty feet
long, is simply piece of vegetable mo-
sale work. Rows OF achyranthus and
echeverias run through from end to
end, the whole bed being divided into
blocks In which are squares, circles, tri-
angles. etc These geometrical figures
are filled with echeverias and edged with
achyranthus In such a way that each fig
ure, and indeed the entire pattern, is as
distinct as in piece of mosaic. The en-
tire surface is almost as level as floor,
the echeverias having grown scarcely an
inch in height, while the achyranthus
has been trimmed to match. In some
of the figures the echeverias are sea-
green, while in others the thick, succu-
lent leaves are edged with purple, giving
shades of color which would delight the
eye of an artist. Accordingto the state
ment of one of the gardeners, there are
nearly half million of plants in this
bed, which it took eight men nearly six
weeks to prepare and set according to
the pattern. Some people may say that
such piece of formal vegetation is not
worth the trouble or expense, but it is
certainly the delight of al beholders,
and the man who said they told him it
would pay him to come all the way from
Michigan to see it, seemed perfectly sat
isfed that he had got his moneys
worth

Near this spot is standing an old dill
apidated cabin, swaybacked roof and
crumbling CHIMES, it's walls Of heavy
hewed logs, all warped and twisted and
propped up by long poles, and its roof
SO worm -eaten, storm torn and decayed
that the rains pour through it in, tor
rents. This log cabin was built by Gen.
Harrison for his drum major, Capt. Sam
Ellison. 1t is now occupied by Mrs.
Maloney, a daughter of old Erin.
Near this dilapidated, miserable old
hut, is neat little cottage. A fair deli
cate woman, with a number of children
and barking dog, received me at the
gate and gave me much information.
The men at the coal elevator looked with
surprise at stranger standing before
that. simple cottage. I soon afterward
learned the. cause.-the men at work
looked upon me as a little fly walking in
to. the parlor of huge venomous spider.
and that the fly would be gobbled up in
NO, time by the foul ogre in his den.
was informed by the men that that
cottage was owned and inhabited by one
of the suspected resurrectionists who
" snatched the body of the late Hon.
Scott Harrison and conveyed it to Gin
cinnati, and which was discovered by his
own son hanging in the" chute of the
dead-house, suspended by rope around
his neck. Young Harrison was in search
of the body of his friend young Devens,
which had been snatched, and accident
ally stumbled upon the body of his own
father In that CHASTITY chute.

A hair market was held few days
since in Relenares, Allier County 1t
was attended by a great many women
from sweet sixteen to venerable sixty.
There were four hair buyers. Each had
his booth, whose front was filed with
cheap, gaudy calico cloths, worth at the
very outside. twenty cents a yard. In
the booth were two men, both armed,
one with pair of scissors, the other with
yard-stick. The former would ask in
an arrogant way, as if he did not want
hair and was doing a great favor If he
condescended to touch peasants hair:
"What do you want in exchange for
that ?" Fifteen yards" /" Fifteen? If
I give you four. six, eight, thirteen this
figure was rarely exceeded), you may
think yourself very lucky !" The offer
accepted he cut the hair, and the other
man measured the agreed number of
yards. Sometimes the merchandise
is refused as being worthless, the head
is too old. 1t takes about five years for
q decent fleece of hair to grow.

The Descendants of CORVALLIS,

The old CORVALLIS seat of Broome
Hall, Suffolk, now belongs to Sir Ed
ward Kerrison, whose grandfather be-
gan life as carpenter. 1t was sold af-
ter the death of the second marquis,
VIII ose only son died early, unmarried.
The marquisate thereupon became ex-
tinct, but the earldom passed to the
Yorktown lords nephew, who dying
without son, the title became entirely
extinct. The second marquis married
a daughter of the duke-catching Duchess
of Gordon, by whom he had number
of daughters, all now dead; one married
the Earl of St. Germans, another Lord
Braybrooke, to whose iberality and love
ofletters we owe the unearthing of Pepy's
diary. Several of the famous Mar
quis' great-grandsons fell CALAMITY in
the Crimea. The last member of the
CORVALLIS family is Viscountess
Holmesdale, who has been long married
without issue.

Wherein, like moonlight on sullen sea,
Cleaned tho gray cimetar's enamelled blade.
Z" Choose thou between death at my hand and thine.
Close in my power, my vengeance may wreak,
Yet hesitate to strike. = hate like mine
Is noble STILL Thoushast thy cheosing-speak "
And Ackbar stood. About him all the band
That hailed his captor chieftain with grave eyes
His answer waited. while that heavy hand
Stretched like bar between him and the skies
Straight in the face before his Ackbar sent ..i3
A sheer OF scorn, and raised his noble head;
Strike - and the desert monarch, as content,
-Rehung the weapon at his g1rdle red.
Then Aekbar nearer crept and lifted high q Fl
His arms toward the heaven SO far and blue
Wherein the sunset rays began to de-
While DER the band a deeper silence grew.
ssStrike am ready Didst thou think to zee =,
A son of Ghera spill upon the dust Ok
His noble blood? Didst hope to have my knee
Bend at thy feet; and with one mighty thrust
The life thou hatest fee before thee here /? g
Shame on thee! on thy racel art thou the one
Who hast so long thy vengeance counted dear?
My hate is greater 1 did strike thy son.
Thy one son, Noumid dead before my face,
And by the swiftest courser of my stud
Sent to thy door his corpse. Aye, one might trace
Their fight across the desert by his blood. %
Strike for my hate is greater than thy ownl"
But with a frown the Arab turned away,
Walked to distant palm and stood alone,
With eyes that looked where purple mountains Lay.
This for an instant: then he turned again 81
Toward the place where Ackbar waited still,
Walking as one benumbed with bitter pain,
Or with hateful mission to fulfill.
"Strike, for hate theei" Ackbar cried once more,
sSNay but my hate cannot find ! - said now
His enemy. &c Thy freedom restore. - -
Live; life were more than death to such az thou v
So with his gift Of life the Bedouin slept
That night untroubled but when dawn broke
through
The purple East, and DER his eyelids crept
The long, thin fingers Of the light, he drew
A heavy breath ard woke above him shone
lifted dagger" Yea, he gave thee life,
But give death |" came in fierce undertone,
And Ackbar died. It was dead Noumid's wife.

From the San Francisco Call.


The remarkable shooting of the young
New Perces Indian boy, Otto, was wit
messed Saturday night in Platt's Hall, bv
large audience of those interested in
rife-shooting. The most remarkable
feature of the exhibition was the light
ming quickness of the boy. But very
few of the attempts failed. The first
shot was at ive-cent piece on the head
of figure representing a man, and was
hit, the distance being fifteen PAGES.
The next feat was the cutting of string
that suspended a figure at the rear of
the stage. The rife was picked up from
the stage by the lad after he had turned
somersault, and the shot was fred al
most instantly. The most remarkable
shot of the evening was accomplished by
the use of peculiarly placed appliances.
Id the following manner: In a small
steel frame pistol barrel was suspend
ed; behind the barrel razor had been
fixed, and on either side of it was sus-
pended a glass ball. The boy was then
taken to the front of the stage and blind
folded, with his face to the audience.
At the command "about face he
turned, raised his rife, and, after only
momentary hesitation, fired. The ball
passed through the pistol, was split by
the razor, and each glass ball was broken
by half of the bullet. This shot is said
to be due to the boys wonderful gift of
the power of location. The precision of
the aim is secured by taking position
directly in front of the object, and aim
is taken by certain pressure of the
rihe-stock against the shoulder and
cheek. An exhibition bayonet drill fol-
lowed. The boy was applauded for his
craftsmanship and dexterity.

A VETERAN SEAMAN S TROUBLE.
Editor Inter Ocean, Chicago, H.: send you this,
feeling that the information conveyed will be of
material benefit to many of your readers. One
of our oldest citizens, Captain G. W. Boynton, the
Government Lighthouse keeper at this point, is
probably one of the oldest seamen in America,
having sailed twenty-Six years on salt water.
After this forty-six years service his eyesight
failed him and he kept the Light at Chicago until
the Government built the Gross Point Light here,
when be was transferred. While seated in my
store this morning the Captain volunteered the
following written statement: " IhlS is to certify
that | have been afflicted with rheumatism for
twenty (20) years, both in my side and limbs ]
am happy say that after using less than two bot
ties of the ST JACOBS OIL, am entirely free from
