The Late Carl Hoffman

Carl Hoffman, for many years chief
editor of the Wiener IdgeblDH who died
the other day at Vienna, down to his
last hour wore upon the forehnger of his
right hand an iron ring which, some
three decades ago, he had made for him
out of a link of chain he had borne as
political-prisoner throughout two
long and weary years of Incarceration,
varied by hard labor. When Win
dichgraetz entered Pesth in January,
1849, one CT his first acts was to arrest
hoffman, then lad OF 10, and have
him tried for treason by court-martial.
Sentenced to five years penal servitude
in a Bohemian fortress, he was compel
ed to march to his prison-house by a
roundabout route, communications be-
tween Pesth and Vienna being at that
time somewhat precarious. IT was an
unusually severe winter; but Hoffman
with several other political convicts,
had to tr1dge through the snow, day
after day and week after week, without
change of clothing and wretchedly
shod, all through Croatia, across the
Alps into Syria, and again over the
Semmering pass over lower Austria.
By the time he arrived in Vienna
his feet were both badly frost-bitten,
Notwithstanding which he was then
heavily ironed' and forwarded on to
Konlggratz. In that fortress he remain
ed for two years in strict continent ent,
his only recreation being from time to
time bout of street-sweeping in fet-
tiers. This relief to the monotony of
dungeon life he enjoyed in good COM
pany. His fellow sweepers, were for
the most part, Magyar nobiemen and
gentlemen of high fashion.

RIDING ON AN OLD TICKET.
How an Atlantic city Pioneer Beguii-
ed Modern Conductor with Rem
iniseeuces.

Wien a CONDUCTOR on a Camden and
Atlantic Railroad train collected his
tickets the other morning on the down
trip to the sea he was handed curious
looking piece of pasteboard by a white
haired man, who sat with his comfort
able-looking spouse in the centre of a
car.
81 don't know about thai" the con-
ductor remarked, as he scanned the
ticket and saw that it bore the name
of former president, Frazer. That's
very old fellow"
"It's all right, though, said the pas
exposing the back. "You see it, count
ersigned by President Freeman and
Manager Zimmerman. That ticket is
old. It's exactly twenty.seven years
since | bought that and several others,
but I've used the others within short
time"
A number of passengers attracted by
the conversation came forward and
scanned the ticket, which was as old as
the railroad itself. The aged gentleman
continued: 81 was running a board
ing house down at Atlantic the first sea-
son the road was opened. We used to
have to buy ten dollars worth of tickets
at lick and the round trip costs 81. So.
Everything was sand mounds and cedar
swamps down there then and black
snakes were as plenty as huckleberries
almost. 1t was nothing uncommon to
find big fellow in the cellar or stretch
ed out summing himself on the porch.
Everything we ate had to be sent from
Philadelphia. 1t was an awful cool sum-
mer and people were wearing shawls
and heavy clothes and sleeping under
blankets in August. There was per-
feet stampede the last of the month.

were lyirg around the house forgotten
until anae across them and took them
to M. Freeman, who saw they were
just as legally good for a ride as they
were over quarter of century ago,
and he marked them SO, as did Mr..
Zimmerman" At the end of these
remarks the conductor smiled, decided
that the ticket was 20. X" punched it
and passed on.

Andy JOhnsOn's Game of Poker with
Granf

Louisville COMMERCIAL: Johnson
was fine poker player, one of the best
IN Tennessee. He used to tell of a
game played with Grant in 1866. Grant
was then in Washington. and visited
the president one night. After short
talk johnson proposed game of draw.
Grant, who was an inveterate player
then, jumped at the chance. Cards
were brought, and they began to play.
Grant lost steadily and heavily. The
game was ST and So, and no limit. At
last Grant said: "Johnson, will play
you one more deal around and we will
quit; l am tired of this d-n foolish
ness" Johnson dealt and wouldn't
come in. They made it a JACKPOT
The jack pot went on increasing in
size; neither could open it. At last
there was $64 in the pot. Grant was
dealing. Johnson picked up his cards
he had two pair, aces up. Grant looked
at his cards and quietly laid them
down. Johnson said:
"' / will open her for $50
Grant, without moving a muscle OF
his cast-iron countenance, leaned back
in his chair and said slowly, looking at
his cards all the time:
"' will have to raise you $50 Andy.
| can't helpit.'
Johnson was little surprised, but
stood the raise. Grant asked him how
many cards he wanted.
IL just want one; how many do
you want?'
"'Eh?' said Grant carelessly, I
don't want any this time
johnson picked up his card. 1t
was an ace. He bet 800.

from him: but something told him

THE OLD FOLKS OBJECT
a Wealthy and Beautiful White Girl
is Confined in an Asylum for Marry
ing a Negro Hostief.
Cincinnati Enquirer

The name of Cloakey is known all
over western Pennsylvania as one asso-
ciated with wealth and rank. The
family is large, and the proper name
to be given to tie village which sprang
up in Washington county, near to the
Cloakeys was Cloakeyville. This gave
the family still wider acquaintance
ship, the full circle of which was shock
ed by the doings of one of the Cloakey
name. Miss Venie was handsome,
educated, witty lady, possessing large
wealth in her own right. she
moved in the first circles and
was considered by many a
rich man to be good CATCH" but she
was never caught in marrying mood.
Offers almost innumerable she had, but
rejected them. For every bride
there is a groom say the old women,
and Venie found hers.
John Miller is black. He is a ne.
gro. He is a hostler; an ignorant re-
palsive negro. But Miss Cloakey loved
him, and, despite her friends protesta-
tons, bolts, bars, night watches and
day guards, she married her lover.
This was several days ago, and now
Cloakey, brother of the infatuated
woman, applied to Judge Hart, of
Washington, Penn, for a commission
de iatnatico inqtire,ado to ascertain the
state of his sisters mind. 1t was
granted, and Dr. McEbree, ]. w. Nc
Dowell and Charles M. Ripple, of
Washington, were appointed as asked.
They held meeting, and, after the cx-
animation of several witnesses, de-
clared Mrs. Miller to be insane She
was Immediately removed to Dixmont
hospital, where she now is. She
has managed to hold correspondence
with some persons on the outside,
and the following letter was started to
her husband. 1t shows evidence of
partial sanity, at least, and perhaps
Mrs. Miller's strange marriage should
be considered in another light than
that of u crazy woman:
"MY DEAR HUsBAND-Do not worry
about this great sorrow which has
overtaken us. All will be well if your
love continues strong enough to bear
the test which evil persons have put
it do. The day is coming, my loving
husband, when [ shall be freed from
this wicked place, and then we sh all
be happy once again. want you to

New York. July 10.
After Washington was appointed
commander of the patriot army in the
Revolution he bad great difficulty in
obtaining supplies. On one occasion,
when no way could be devised by him
and his officers to supply the wants of the
army, Washington wound up the con-
ference with the remark, 1--WE must
consult brother Jonathan" He referred
to Jonathan Trumbull, then Governor OF
Connecticut, in whose judgement he
had confidence. Gov. Trumbull help
ed the General out of his difficulties,
and afterward the expression used by
Washington became popular byword
in the army and eventually nickname
for the nation.
The name Uncle Sam, rs applied to
United States, is said to have originated
in the war of 1912. An inspector OF
army provisions at Troy named Sam
ual Wilson was called by his workmen
"Uncle Sam" One day somebody ask
ed one of the workmen what the letters
"U. S." printed on a cask meant. The
workman replied that he supposed il
meant Uncle Sam. The joke was after
wards spread in the army, and this,
according to the historian Frost was
the origin of the national sobriquet

TWENTY YEARS AGO.
Daphne McCarthy's Great Love Won
in n Chicago Cemetry.
From the Chicago Tribune
Twenty wears AGO sweetheart .

Twenty years ago, sweetheart"
As Daphne Mccarthy spoke these
words she looked into the face of the
man she loved so well, and the dim
pied arm, whose pearly whiteness and
beautiful rounded curves shope so be-
witchingly through the soft, feecy
dress that the girl wore, chung more
trustingly than ever to that of George
w. Simpson. The day was indeed a
beautiful one q symphony of sight and
and light and scent. Up from the maple
trees came the sweet voices of the birds
twitterlng to each other from newly
built nests amid boughs that swayed
to and fro in the wind and shook their
latest buds into leaf and blossom. From
far below came murmur of waves
breaking softly on shiIgly beach, and,
mingling with this murmur, the shouts
and laughter of the fisher lads as
they sported in the waters. The dim
fragrance and dappled lights, and pleas
ant sounds made three fold Joy to
Daphe, as she stood beneath the trees
that June morning with her lover by
her side. She stood on a part of the
slope whence the trees had drawn back
a little, and the light fell about her just
beyond the verge of the shadow. Round
her feet were dead leaves and living
flowers, and soft, green moses full OF
the sweet rain that had fallen the pre-
vious night. With one hand she shaded
her eyes, the other was uplifted to bend
back a branch which had barred the
open space. Her hair was blown in a

Magic Photographs.

Magic photographs, in which the inn
age is developed by tobacco smoke,
have been lately supplied in various
t.bacco shops on the European con-
tinent. A cigarette mouthpiece is
provided, and with it are some white
Photographic papers about the size ola
postage stamp. One of the latter is
placed over a lateral o1itice in the
mouthpiece, and sliding piece dawn
over it. After smoking one finds the
image on the paper. La Mature ex-
plains the process A small photo
graph, prepared on chloride of silver
paper, as usual butwithout intensifying,
is put in solution of bichloride OF
murcury, where it pales and disap-
pears. The bichloride of mercury
changes the photograph partly into
white chloride of silver, and partly into
protochloride of mercury, also white,
making the image invisible. The inn
age may be brought back by action OF
hypochloride of soda, or of ammoniae-
al vapors. Tobacco smoke, as contain
ing the latter, does very well. The
principal of magic photographs was
indicated by Herschel in 1910

Cruelty to Animals.
La Crosse CHRONICLE.

Yesterday morning man from the
lower part of the city, called on Captain
Hatch, and informed him that team
ster living near DIR. Renggley's farm,
was driving horse that went on three
legs. Mr.. Hatch's first question was:
Glow long has this thing been going
on?" "About two weeks" was the reply.
"And you never said word all this
timer said the officer. ''Oh, that wasn't
my businessl" responded the informer.
So for two weeks this phenomenal case
has gone its course, because it wasn't
tho business of any of the scores OF
people who were knowing to it. The
brutal offender, whose name is Michael
Barrandt has drawn his usual load,
made the animal trot when it pleased
him, and in ali ways got out when 81

Boys Playing Jesse James.
From the Wheeling Leader.

The rising generation in Warren, o.,
so far as the boysare concerned; seem
inclined TO rebel under the natural
quiet OF the village, and have of late
organized game jailed the Jesse James
game, in which ole of the boys takes
the title role, andsupported by one or
more daring spirits, become outlaws
and guerillas, and are hunted down by
the rest of the players. 1t has been
the custom of the heavy Williams to
arm themselves with toy revolvers, and
when the captols pressed them hard,
they would draw their pistols a la Jesse,
and the would-be captor, if he played
his part well, was to fall dead when
shot at. Friday, boy named Rich
ards was playing the title role, and
thought it would lend enchantment to
the same to use real revolver. Re
suit, one boy ihot through the face;
another languiihing in jail. The in
jured lad, Harry Koehler, is doing well
and will recovsr, although seriously
wounded. Ring down the curtain on
another act of he toy-pistol drama.

Round me in my quiet room,
But the freIights glow and sparkle
Scatter every thought Of gloom
And my trembling lips are murmuring.
Murmuring stilI the sweet old song,
Though my bright dreams of the future
All to bg-gone days belong.
Empty is the baby's cradle,
Empty is the baby's chair,
And my vacant arms are REACHING
Out into the empty air:
And I pray, o. Tender Father
Heed childless mothers cry;
Guide me safely TO my darling,
