TALES OF A DETECTIVE.
Man VINO Obtained His First Start In Life by
Stealing

During his perambulations st. Louis
Republican reporter met well-known
citizen who was many years q private
detective, and whose line of work was
of kind which seldom finds its way in
to the newspapers, but meanderS through
the substratum of mercantile life and
generates al times into the homes Of
wealthy and prominent business men.
a reporter rarely goes to detective for
an item, for he knows he will not get
one, and never asks him for information
upon any subject, unless it has already
been made public Although the man
OF mystery could furnish q newspaper
vast amount of intensely interesting
reading matter every day in the week,
he has the habit of reticence and secrecy
so firmly imbedded in his nature that it
makes his face ache every time he lets
drop little grain of information, or a
pointer" as it is called.
The particular detective referred to in
this article had no special reason for re-
ticence, and therefore he was willing to
talk just little. He was willing to
state facts. but his nature revolted
against giving names and dates. Hav-
ing found a coSy retreat and comforta-
BILE seats, he was asked to furnish the
data for a newspaper article, devoid OF
imaginative ornamentation and based
upon solid, substantial, undeniable
facts.
Facts" said he laughing. "are the
only things dealt in while a detective;
they were the only things that were
worth nickel to me. / spent years in
separating hard facts from unsubstan-
tial fancies and learned TO distinguish
the one from the other at sight. knew
it to be a fact that prosperous mer-
chant Of ST. Louis. who is also an ac-
tive church member, obtained his first
start in life by stealing. by systematic
cally robbing his employers. He was
packer in a wholesale dry-goods house
years ago, and had an intimate friend
who was doing good business IN one
of the interior cities. He purchased all
his goods at the house in which our
friend was employed. Between them
they arranged plan by which they
could swindle the house and escape de-
lection. The country merchant came
70 the city, bought bill Of goods, and
of course it fell TO the duty of our friend
to pack them. 1t was very easy mat
ter for him to slip in an extra piece of
silk, or bolt of cloth of some kind.
When the box arrived at the destination
there were more goods in it than were
called for by the invoice. but the coun-
try merchant understood what it meant,
ani when he next visited the city he
wouid quietly sip a 80 or $40, or
two or three bills of those denomina-
tions, according to circumstances. into
our friends hand, and the transaction
was complete. OF course the house
missed the goods, but never knew what
became of them. This sort of arrange
ment ran on for years. Our friend final
ly started in business. for he saved his
earnings, and he prospered. He is now
rich. Wei. this thing might have al
ways remained a secret if the country
merchant had followed our friends ex-
ample-but he didn't He didn't save
his earnings leitSsr did he shun the

An Iron Tree.

The iron palmetto at Columbia, S. c.,
is the greatest work of art in the State
House yard. This is a casting wholly
of iron, commemorating the death of
many of Cardinals slain, whose names
are found in raised letters on two brass
tablets at the base. The success of this
casting consists in its perfect imitation
of living palmetto-the favorite tree Of
South Carolina. We had heard of this
statue in other places, but had never
been able to believe the stories of the
flexible leaves bending in the breeze.
supposing this phenomenon an optical
illusion, but such is really the case
The long thin leaves of iron, ive-like
even to the hair-like fibres of the twigs
and branches, wave tremulously in ev-
cry zephyr, and the whole tree. painted
artisticaliy, has so close a resemblance
to the real tree as to deceive the acutest
observer at the distance of five rods.

Among the Zuni Indians, who have
recently come to the front by coming
east for ocean water, there is said to be
a social custom that might be worth
adopting in more civilized circles. In
Zuniland the houses belong to the wom~
en- instead of the men, So man can
marry without first being obliged to buy
or hire a house. Marrying men are
therefore abundant among the Zuni5.
On the other hand. man who marries
can occupy his wife's house only during
good behavior, the wife having always
the right to put an unsatisfactory hus-
band out of doors. This is q privilege
that would raise many an American wife
from abject slavery to the rank of equal
partner in the conjugal firm. But.
whether for husband or wife, the Zuni
plan is an advantageous one; it encour-
ages early marriages, assures every
woman of home, so that she need not
marry merely to get one. and it keeps
husbands in order, for almost any man
will behave himself if by SO doing ne
can avoid the onerous duty OF paying
house-rent.-Nea0 YorE Herald

Wolves and Wild Horses.

It is said that whenever several of the
larger wolves associate together fer mis-
chief in the German forests and their
neighborhood, there is always a numer-
Gus train of smaller ones to follow in the
rear, and act as auxiliaries in the work
of destruction. Two large wolves are
sufficient to destroy the most powerful
horse, and seldom more than two ever
begin the assault, though there may be
a score in the gang. 1t is no less curl
Gus than amusing to witness this ingen-
ious mode of attack. If there is no snow,
or but little upon the ground, two wolves
approach in the most playful and caress-
ing manner, lying, rolling, and frisking
about, until the too credulous and un-
suspecting victim is completely put off
his guard by curiosity and familiarity.
During this time, the gang, squatted on
their hind quarters, look on at dis
tance. After time spent in this way,
the two assailants separate, when one
approaches the horses head, and the
other his tail, with shyness and cum
ming that is peculiar to themselves. At
this stage of the attack their frolicsome
approaches become very interesting
they are right good earnest; the former
is mere decoy, the latter is the real as
gallant, and keeps his eye fixed steadily
on the hamstring or flank of the horse.
The critical moment is then watched,
and the attack is simultaneous; both
wolves spring at their victim the same
moment-one to the throat, the other to
the falkland, if successful, which they
generally are the hind one never lets 60
his hold until the horse is completely
disabled. Instead of springing forward
or kicking to disengage himself. the
horse turns round and round without
attempting defence. The wolf before
then springs behind to assist the other.
The sinews are cut, and in half the time
have been describing it the horse is on
his side; his struggles are fruitless-the
victory is won. At this signal the look
ers on close in at galiop; but the small
fry of followers keep at respectful dis
tance until their superiors are gorged,
and then they take their turn unmolest-

Next August the Kinzua Viaduct, the
highest railway bridge in the world will
be completed, or a year from the time
it was commenced. 1t is situated in
Mexican county, Pa, about four miles
from Alton, and its construction was
ordered by the New York, Lake Erie
and Western Railway Company. Ac-
cording to an illustrated article in the
Scientific american, this bridge Is 2.051
feet long and 301 feet high. 1t has 20
spans of 81 feet long, and one 62 feet
long, alternating with the lower spans,
which are 3S3 feet eaoh The truss, be-
ing 6 feet high and 10 feet wide, and
continuous from one end to the other,
is supported by columns one foot thick,
which increase in length toward the mid
die of the bridge. They spread out with
batter of two inches to the foot, which
gives distance of 1915 between the col
umns of the highest bents at the bottom.
The two longest bents rest on two long
piers, with pedestals built on each side
of the stream, each containing about 500
yards of masonry. All the other columns
rest on piers containing from 20 to 125
yards of masonry. The bridge will con-
tain 4, 900, 900 lbs. of iron and 1000 yards
of masonry. Its cost will be about $780,
600.

Supreme Court Judges.

The Judges of the United States Su-
preme Court-what jolly old set
There was the Chief Justice, with IRON
gray hair, thick and stiff, and whiskers
just the same, big nose and big
mouth, wrapped in his black silk gown,
but looking very little like Chief JUS
tice. But he attends to his business,
leaves politics TO the dogs, and is re-
spected by his associates. On his right,
oldest in commission of any one on the
bench, is Justice Miller. round and fat,
and ga, little bald and closely-shaven
face. On the bench he is as cross as a
hatchet, for he hates circumlocution
and shams (and half the bar is made up
of them); but off the bench he is as jolly,
and kind, and gentle as any man you
ever saw. He has been regarded for
ten years the ablest man on the bench.
The three last appointments may change
this, but l doubt it.
On the Chief Justices left is Justice
Field, appointed as a Republican, but
now Democrat. He is tall, bald-headed,
spectacled, full-bearded, with Jewish
cast of countenance. Smart he is, too,
as all the Fields are. He writes strong
opinions, and is popular. He is most
entertaining companions and a great
traveller and scholar Drink? Yes, once
in a while. Miller and Field, respect
lively, are the two Oldest Judges in COM
mission on the bench. Justice Bradley
is the nextin point of rank-thin, refined,
closely-shaven, gray-haired, scholarly,
notwithstanding old gentleman, who
doesn't seem to have much to say to any
one. Justice Harlan, fourth in rank
(eXcepting. of course, the Chief Justice),
is specimen Kentuckian-a giant in
his way. Big body, big head, big hands,
big feet, long legs, long arms, and long
headed, without doubt. He is at least
six feet six inches in height. He rents
furnished house from a friend of misse,
and my friend had to have made especi-
ally for the great Kentuckian, nine
foot bedstead, with mattresses, blankets,
sheets, ETC., to correspond, and also one
for the son of the Judge, who is as tall
Judge Harlan was strong acquisition
to the bench, and is popular on the
bench and off. Chew tobacco, did you
say? Well, should think so, and he
knows glass of Bourbon when he tastes
it. There is not much known of Justice
Woods. He is grizzly, slouching man,
whose personal bearing and appearance
are not at all striking. He is judge
by appointment, but he doesn't look
like one. Justice Stanley Matthews is
built on a big model, physically and
mentally. AS an Intellectual force he
scarcely has superior on the bench
He is quiet in his intercourse, and does
not seem to care to extend his acuuain-
tance. Justice Gray is tai, white
haired, peppery old bachelor, who snaps
up everybody and had rather quarrel
than win cause When he first came
on the bench he was nearly killed with
heavy eating and drinking, but that time
is over AS the old judges are very
tenacious of the rights of seniors, he is
not likely to be popular. Justice Blatch-
ford. the last appointment, looks like
George W. Childs, and is, therefore.

Cheese for Farmers Use.

1t is sad that less cheese is used Dy
farmers since the factory system went
into operation than during the time
when the manufacture was conducted
in nearly every house in the country.
1t would not be strange if such was the
case. Farmers are more likely to use
articles they raise or manufacture than
those that they buy in the market. The
cheese they formerly made were not al
WAYS salable, but they furnished good
eating and were consumed at home.
Factorymen have falleni into the habit Of
making large cheese almost exclusively,
for the reason that the foreign market
calls for them. They have become fash
ionable in the city market Of this coun-
try. They are not, however. of a size
to make them popular or economical in
communities of farmers. They are
quite too large to be bought and used in
private families, as they become dry af-
ter being cut and occasion large loss.
Farmers who are attentive to their bus
mess do not go to town very often, and
when they do they find it inconvenient
to take home slices of cheese cut from
specimens that weigh forty pounds or
more. They want cheese that do not
-ya;rh ~ o-.e tL,- +a-, .i- r----s--
They are convenient to carry, and do
not dry out between the time they are
first cut and are consumed. Cheese
makers, in catering to the wants of
foreign market, have neglected the
wants of large classes of people living
in this country. Small cheese will sell
to persons who viii not buy large ones,
and attention should be given to this
class of customers. There is also de-
mand for sage cheese, that was so popu-
lar when the factory system was un-
known. 1t would seem to be the part
of wisdom for cheese-manufacturers to
make one kind of cheese for the foreign
market, and another for the supply of
persons who live in the rural districts of
this country.
