Judge Black rs a Paymaster.

The late Judge Jere Black was very care
less in money matters. An incident is re-
lated by one of his intimate friends that is
characteristic of the dead jurist. During
the first years of Judge Blacks career as at
torney general" said my informant, II was
a frequent visitor of the department Of
justice. l was young then as a lawyer, and
was very glad to have an opportunity OF
listening to the conversation of so great a
lawyer as Judge Black. One morning a
man entered and handed a piece of paper to
the attorney general. Dear me- he said,
running his fingers through his hair, 4

LIAR he exclaimed, excitedly jumping up and
seizing the man by the collar, here is your
own receipt for this bill dated only ten days
ago. Tn man performed a war dance
around the office, the judge acting as chief

the judge found three separate receipts from

New York Cor. Kansas City Times1
The accident to William h. Vanderbilt
yesterday reminds me that a majority of om
millionaire kings have been at various times
pitched from their road wagons Two years
ago Robert Bonner capsized his vehicle on
the boulevard and sustained injuries from
which he will never fully recover. Jay
Gould, while on the Coney island drive,
about four or five years go, was pitched out
by driving into a rut, and was laid up for a
week. Poor old Uncle Rufus Hatch mover
owned but one horse, and when that animal
got frightened at a freight car in the Bowery
and dashed away he plunged into a truck
and Uncle Rufus cam into contact
with the curb in a manner which
kept him to his room for several
days. Gen. Grant and Andy Hicrenlooper
Combs d~raw-bridge, lost a wheel and sus-
tanned a severe shaking up, and even Cyrus
Field was thrown from his carriage by a
runaway. Ex-Postmaster General James
was driven into Central park by Bennett, OF
The Herald, and for n time his life was de
SPARED OF. Mr.. Tilden was never in a road
accident, but it is on record that some ten
years ago in Albany he was run down by a
wagon. Last night, when Billy McGlory,
the notorious dance-house keeper, learned
that Vanderbilt had been injured, he de
clared it was simply a warning TO Vanderbilt
to be more lenient in track matters. 1t was
McGlory who, when ruled Off the old Fleet
wood track, a fortnight ago, swore that he
would get even with Vanderbilt and Bonner
by running into them aud killing them the
first time he met them driving on the road.

How Mans Surroundings Shape His
BeIiefs.

prof. Jas. T. Bixby in Popular Science.l
Thu do the peculiarities of natural objects
supply moulds in which the metal of relig-
lous faith, already lying latent, readily sets.
And not only directly, but Indirectly, do they
shape the forms of faith The rushing river,
e. g., not merely attracts the reverence of the
primitive man to itself, but by its swift and
treacherous motion, its sinuous course. and
snake-like hiss and CLEAN, it is personitied as
a mighty divine serpent, and next makes
sacred by association the serpents of the
country about. The sky, personified by the
ancient Egyptian as a heavenly goose, en-
veloping and Matching the cosmic egg, made
sacred henceforth all geese to the pious dwell
els by the Nile.
In climes like Egypt, where the skies are
rainless and the whole aspect OF nature
equable, almost unchanging, there the gods
are marked by calmness OF bearing and
serenity of nature. We must go TO the slopes
of the Himalayas or the ridges of the Apen-
mines to find the bowling Rudra, with his at.
tendant Maruts, the Founders, rushing wildly
through tine glens, or to see the bullocks slain
in honor of Jupiter Tonans, the Thunderer.
In cold and temperate chimes it is the enliven-
ing and warming sun that is loved and
adored; but, in the sultry air of the tropics,
the sun and the sky of day become evil and
destructive deities, and affection is trans
ferTed to the refreshing sky Of night.

Eating a letter to one OF his stenographers-
The great correspondent had removed his
coat and was pacing up and down the spa
cious library, delivering sentences In q clear,
loud, measured tone, pausing now and then
to spell a difficult word, or TO indicate the
proper runctua ion Of a clause. This work
went on for nearly two hours. The ~stenogra-
piers hand few ovor the page without rest,
covering page after page with his curious
curves and hooks. Mr.. Townsend never hest
tated and Dever seemed at loss for a good
word. His active, well-drillcd intellect run
fnr in advance OF tho writer OF short-hand's
most accelerated efforts, His graceful periods
were turned over in his mind several minutes
before he gave them to his assistant, and n
memory, the retentivo faculties Of which arc
marvellous, enabled him to pour into the
work before him a sparkling stream Of anec-
dotc, news, dialogue aud "reminiscences
His mental resources, as he walked rapidly
To and fro with the glow and excitement Of
composition illuminating his face. seemed in
eNhaustible. He had the force and expression
OF an orator. but his chaste language was
that OF a discriminating writer. Mr.. Town
send was writing of tho ~telegraphers'
strike, and everything that he had heard,
read or knew Of tho company, the science or
the men identified with it, was summoned
into active being by his faithful memory.
The men had his sympathy, and he related
many pertinent instances Of the c~ompany's
unfair treatment of lis employees.
Tho mans emotions were aroused, but he
repressed them with mastery self-control,
and no ineicgant phrase found its way into
the letter under consideration.
In the evening another stenogrnpher called,
and Mr.. Townsend dictated to him for an
hour. Sometimes both OF his shorthand
writers appear at the same hour, and he
performs the difficult mental feat of writing
two letters, each on n different subject, at the
same time. Within tho period OF two hours
Mr.. Townsend can dictate enough matter to
n s~tenograPher to occupy him the balance OF
the day in making u transcript Of it in long
hanl

Sherman is eminently social. He is fond
of going out. He is invited to every break
fast, lunch, dinner aud reception in Wash.
ingtou. Il is rare for him To decline an invi-
tation. He is very fond of the society of
women, and Is never 50 bright as when sur
rounded by young ladies. He is devoted to
young and pretty women, but no one evor
knew the general of the army to make a
fool of himself about the fair sex, as many u
man Of his age might have done. There has
never been tho faintest breath OF scandal
about him or criticism made upon his man
ners in society. He is very fond Of going to
the theatre. Sometimes when there Is some
thing especially pleasing to him he will go
every night to see the same performance for
AN entire week. He is fond of the society of
motors and actresses When John McCul-
Tough Is in Washington Sherman never fails
TO give him a breakfast. He is devoted to
Mary Anderson when she is hero. He gem
orally waits for her at the stage door when
she Is playing an engagement here TO walk
home with her to her hotel. In nearly the
same way he pays great attention TO Lolita
when she comes hero. He has a way of or
dering his staff about with him when he goes
to the theatre that makes his theatrical en-
thuSinsIn very marked. Some of the staff
officers, who are not as ardent admirers OF
the theatre, groan under the weight OF such
a service, although they dare not openly com
plain.

JOE PULITzER'S CAREER
How He Rose from the Ranks to
His Present Position in
Newspaperdom-


met a St Louis man the other day who
told me something of Pulitzer's history. He
enjoyed fair school advantages in Germany,
but had nothing like an education, when, at
the age of IA, he came to this country. 1t was
in 1864, and on the very day Of his arrival
Pulitzer enlisted in a German cavalry regi-
ment-I think the First New York, the Lin
coin cavalry. Here he served during the
last year of the war, and was sorry when the
order came to muster out, for he could speak
no English, and had no friends, no trade,
nothing to turn to. He resolved to take up
with any job that offered, and better his
chance whenever he could. He went in an
emigrant train to st. Louis, which he had
fixed on as his ultimate destination, and
walked around the streets looking for work.
He strayed into the cavalry barracks, slept
there all night, and in tho morning got a job
10 take care of twenty horses for the winter.
He fed, watered and cleaned them, and was
complimented in the spring for having done
the work artistically.
He could speak only a little English yet
He went into the country and worked a few
months on a farm in the summer. He hired
out as a laboring man and helped build a
dam. He served as stoker on the steamboat
Lady Gay, and on Belleville ferryboat,
roasting on ono side and freezing on the other.
Then, picking up a little more English, he
hlrru out as q private coacnman, drlvmg a
gentlemaIfs carriage in st. Louis. The
cholera came along. The authorities could
get nobody to bury the dead, and Pulitzer
took the job at So a day, the largest wages
he had yet earned He worked as a waiter
in a restaurant. But all the time he studied
and study filled him with the ambition to
become u lawyer. In 1868 he stuck out his
shingle, aud in two or three weeks had
earned S45. He went to writing for Tho
Westlische Post as a reporter, and In two
years had become its editor and part owner.
He carried an opposition district and was
elected to the legislature But he was utterly
disqualified, being an unnaturalized for
eigner, not paying taxes, not living in the dis
trict that elected him, and not being 81
years of age.
In 1872 Pulitzer and Col. Grosvenor called
the Liberal convention that nominated Gree
ley. He now sold out his interest in The
Westlischs Post, took a rest for some years,
married and went to Europe. In 1876 he
made seventy speeches for F" Tilden and re.
form" Two years later he returned to St
Louis, bought for $500 the dying Evening
Dispatch that had sunk $780, 900 forts owners,
Everybody grinned at this folly. He put life
into it, bought The Post and united them,
rim out all other evening papers, hired
Coclrerel, and now The Post Dispatch has
1900 subscribers, and returns to its sole
owner $780, 900 a year. This is the man who
has seized the rudder of The World, and his
record may solve the question whether he
will succeed in getting his fiotsam and jetsani
ashore.

THE DEVIL

lAlfred j. Hough.l
Men don't believe in a devil now, as their
fathers used to do;
They've forced the door Of the broadcast creed
TO let his majesty through
There isn't a print of his cloyen foot or q
fiery dart from his bow
To be found on earth or air to-day, for the
world has voted so.
But who is 1t mixing the fatal draught that
palsies heart and brain,
And loads the bier OF each passing year with
ton hundred thousand SLANT
Win blights the bloom of the land to-day
with the fiery breath Of hell,
III the devil isn't and never wasl Won't
somebody rise and telli
Who dogs the steps OF the toiling saint and
digs the pit fer his feetl
Who sows the tares In the field OF time wher-
ever God sows His wheati
Tho devil is voted not TO be, and Of course
the thing Is true;
But who Is doing the kind OF work the devil
alone should dot
We are told he doesn't go about as a roaring
Hon now,
But whom shall we hold responsible for the
everlasting row
To be hoard in church, In home and state, TO
etrth's reinotest bound,
II the devil by unanimous vote Is nowhere to
be foundi
Won't somebody step to the front forthwith,
and make their bow, and show
bow tho frauds and crimes OF a single day
spring upi Wo want to know
The devil was fairly voted out, and Of course
the DEVILS gone;
But simple people would like to know who
carries his business on.

THE 4poa STARE REIaNs.
Tile Dear. Darling Pug To BE Treated
with Every Children
Can Go TO Glory.

cincinnati Enquirer.l
There Is nothing in a great city like Gin
cinnsti more soul-eptrnncing than to see a
large lady carry a small dog. Poor children
can't be taken to ride, but Fido cans: starv-
ing babies can't get anything to eat, but
Fido has a nibble at woodcock every day. A
dog is worth so much more than a child that
he must be petted in the parlor, while the
shriveled beggar is sent away from the base
ment without a crust. This is civilization of
the most refined order-yes, this is pure and
unadulteratsd religion. You see, the Child
will have a chance in the next world, and SO
the sooner he gets there the better. There will
be no poverty in heaven, and it is really a
kindnesst to help him starve and SO hurry him
along on the road to glory. But the dog, the
dear pug dog, the darling, curly-haired little
pet doesn't have any heaven to look forward
to, although 1t is evident that no ought to
have, and for that reason he should be treated
with every possible consideration in this, his
only life.
The dog star reigna Besides, the pug has
such a charming way of stealing into our af-
~fections and OF rousing all the best elements
in a woman's nature. Next to n gilt edged
prayer book and the consultations of religion
comes the pug, undoubtedly. Sometimes the
pug even takes precedence of the other two,
but this is confessed to be rather SINFUL
Wicked men in the community, known as
''plckups,' make use of this lender tie be-
tween a dog and a woman and thus earn an
honest living. They pick up the dog and
then lie in wait for the reward, and repeat
the operation until the father Of the house
hold expresses his opinion In . very emphatic
and a somewhat profane and naughty manner.
said a very gentlemanly dealer in CANNES:
''The ladies Us owns dogs take on awful when
they are lost. They go crazy. They can't
eat, and make it red-hot for every one. The
servant girl gets discharged, and there is
moro boo-hooing going on than at a flrst-class
funeral" Such things are very sad To lose
a pug is an affection indeed, but the little
children who get lost, or who have been worse
than lost ever since they were born-well,
who can think about Johnny or Kate while
that dear, sweet. beautiful pug is out in the
cold, and has no blanket to cover his shiyer-
ing carcaSsl Religion is BEAUTIFUL, but a real
blaclt-and tan is i~ncomparably superior.
