Ccrro Gordo Williams aud Ii BuEier.

Old Cerro Gordo Williams Is the hand
soonest man Of his years in Kentucky, not ex.
copting Gen. William Preston, formerly min
lister to Spain and ut the court of susceptible
Isabella Williams is six feet two inches,
with grizzlcd iron mustache and curlcd wig,
piercing gray eyes, the frame of a giant and
n voice OF fine, melodious ring. He is as vain
as n peacock. While travelling in southern
Russia, when a young man, he alighted at n
village where the Emperor Nicholas was
hourly expected. Williams was taken for
the emperor. 1t took the Russians an hour
TO get over the mistake, but Williams
has never entirely recovered. He won his
title by gallantry before the walls of Cerro
Gordo, n captain in SCOTS army, and he has
maintained his fame for proves by many
personal encounters since, in all of which he
handled himself well. He affects the quality
divine to politicians-of an infallible menu
DRY for names and faces, and is not above the
crudest arts of a ~demngogue. Ono evening,
while he was dining with some friends in an
upper room at the town hotel, one of his ad-
mirers stumbled across Buck Combs, who
had been bugler in Williams regiment dur
ing the war. They had not met since.
Combs got his bugle and, accompanied by au
Immense crowd, went down to serenade his

Uncle Jimmy In The CITY.

Inter Ocean "Curb-Stone Crayons.' "
But the captain was only one among thou
sands, and of these was Uncle Jimmy Vincent,
of Christian county. Mr.. Vincent is one Of
the royal, simple-minded old fellows whose
code of ethics involves the idea of politeness
to bootblacks, newsboys, and servant girls.
lie was quartered with his uppish city rela-
tives at a fashionable clearinghouse, and he
kept them on nettles by his hearty good
mornings and good evenings to the dining
room girls, and by his friendly chats with
the girl who looked after the rooms. The
crisis came one day at dinner, when Uncle
Jimmy, having devoured his ration of roast
ing ears, crooked his finger at the waiter and
said, a little bashfully but conndingly, "You
bring me some more corn and | Won't take
any pie.n
On the street Uncle Jimmy was a pezzle to
the nowsboys and bootblacks. When a boy
offered him a paper he couldn't refuse with
out explaining, in his frank, kindly, tempo
rtzing way, that he- didn't want any, because
he couldn read without his specs. And when
the bootblacks wanted to shine him up, he
stopped to confde to them the fact that he
got up before the city folks and blacked his
boots himself, and he would leave it to them
to say IL he didn't do a pretty good job for
an old man." And there wasn't a boy that
had the face to chair the old gentleman.

The Salvation Army Is about TO celebrate
its eighteenth anniversary, and it is authorita-
lively stated that whereas at the last anuiver-
Sary there were only 80 corps and 7GG officers.
the army now possesses, at home and abroad,
59l corps and .439 officers. Anew order OF
sergeants has been created; as outposts have
been occupied under their and
each sergeant, taking with him a detachment
OF FROM two 10 twenty soldiers, marches on
Sundays, frequently from five 10 ten miles,
TO some village, where service is conducted
in any school-room, barn, or other building.
The army has $50 officers abroad. In India
a sufficient number Of natives have Joined the
nrmy tof rovide interpreters in the most prev
nlent languages Of the principal cities; and
the work has been, with the exception of ElOO
or 92O1. entirely supported by funds raised in
India The growth OF the army in the Aus
trnlian colonies has been the marvel of tho
year. Twelve months z there were only
some three or four corps established in South
Australia. Now, in the four Australian colo
mics and in New Zealand the army has
twenty-tour corps, under some forty officers
Half a dozen buildings have been erected or
purchased. The English War Cry, issued
once u week twelve months ago, has become
a bi-weekly, while no fewer than eleven
other War Crys are published in different
parts OF the world, and there is a prospect Of
iour others before the close Of the year.

DR.. Brocn describes the ~trepanned skulls
which have been discovered in some of the
caves Of France, belonging to the earlier
periods of the new stone age. He asserts, in
regard to this remarkable disclosure, that a
great number of these skulls were trepanned
during lifetime, probably in infancy and
early youth, and that they healed
up again, the subject of the operation
surviving it for many years. The
theory is that the practice was
a sacred rite of some sort, it being found
that the skulls of those very persons who had
undergone the operation in their lifetime
were after death subjected again to the
same operations; n number of small disks
were cut from them in such a way that each
disk contained a portion of the cicatrized
edge made by the original trepanning, these
disks being used as amulets by living per-
sons, the skull thus treated being in its turn
also provided with one of these talismanic
tisxs in place of those surrendered.

The Florida Everglades.


When the general government sought to
remove the Indians TO their reservations
many OF different tribes fol into the Ever
glndes, AMI it is estimated that 700 or 500
are row living there. Only eighty appear
upon the rolls of the census, because no
census officer has been able to penetrate the
wilderness. The eighty Indians who appear
upon the census rolls are those who come out
totrade, but It is known that the large major.
fly are ayerse to trading or mingliug with tbs
whites. indian hunters come out with bear,
deer and panther skins, showing that the
Everglades must contain good hunting
grounds A number OF negroes, say thirty
or forty, are known TO be held by the Indians.
They speak the Indian tongue, wear the dress
Of Indian woman and are made to do the wo-
mems work. These negroes are evidently
the progeny OF runaw way slaves who escaped
before or during the civil war, md are still
heidi in slavery.
Only Que missionary ever attempted to
to carry the news of Lincoln's proclamation
into the Everglades; he left the borders OF
the Indian country with great speed. A few
months ago Chief Tiger Tail became dis
pleased with one of his colored servants and
brought him into Fort Myers to offer him for
sale. When informed that the negroes were
all free he circulated: "White mans Niger
mebbe free, but ndian Niger, no" Where
upon Tiger Tail grasped the darby by the
nape Of the neck, pushed him into the canoe
and padded back to the Everglades. Tho
Seminoles are quite jealous OF any inter.
ference with their domain and will not serve
as guides through their country. SO strictly
is this rule maintained that an Indian boy
who has been raised by Col. Hcndry, under
an agreement with the Indians that he may
stay six months of each year with Col. Hen
dry and SIX months with his people, could not
be prevailed upon for any consideration to
guide white men into the country.

ELECTRICITY ON THE STAGE
Magical Effects OF the -Incanceseeni
Light In stage scenery.

[Chicago TIibune.1
Ths advantage of the electric over othor
lights for stage purposes is its intensity,
which produces sharp outlines to all shad
ows, and its perfect similarity to sunlight, the
most delicate colors being unchanged by its
rays In the prophet" the rainbow is most
faithfully represented by its aid.
In the second part of Faust N. Behrend
utilizes ncandescence for working a miracle.
A bottle is seen suspended or balanced
in The air. Suddenly it becomes
dimly illuminated, the light gradu-
ally increasing to b%rilliancy, and a
human figure is seen within the bottle. This
bottle, which is made OF gelatinize1 gauzs, is
held suspended by two iron wires. An
Opaque band about the neck Of the bottle
serves to hide the direct rays of the ~incandes-
cent lamp, while the downward reflection
lights the figure. This last is Of rubber, and
a wire attached near the middle serves to
render it misshapen. By degrees the wire is
slackened and the figure, through its elastic
ity, rises and assumes a human form.
In the second part of Faust" a mysterious
key is rendered red-hot, apparently, while in
the hand OF the actor.
This key, which is quite large, is made
with a frame of iron wire covered with thin
mica painted rod, with a transparent pig
ia ~ "a VIZ AAANIAA " VI AAAo NY hAN oAAAAA@
platinum wires connecting buttons Of less re-
sistance. Two flexible conducting wires lead
from the battery 10 two disconnected points
in the shaft of tho key through the platinum.
At the proper moment the actor presses the
key, closing the circuit and sending the cur
rent through the fine platinum wires, which
by their high resistance are thus made lumin-
Gus, and the whole key seems to become sud
denly red-hot.
In "Der Freischutzn a skull rises from tho
Garth and launches fro from the eyes and
mouth. To accomplish this small bundle of
wire are arranged so as to bring them end TO
end to each other, as II you were to place the
brush ends Of two brooms together. These
are elastic and only in slight contact. From
ench OF these a wire leads TO one terminal Of
the battery. Now, when the head rises with
a tottering motion and "solemnly wags," the
motion breaks the contacts, and the escaping
sparks scintillate at every break point.
In the "Glass Slipper the -incandescent
light is used to render the slipper luminous.
and the diadem OF the Queen of Night, in the
"Mngic Flute,n is lighted in the same manner.
SO of st Elmo's fire in tho phantom Ship"
and the diamond rocks in the same spectacle;
other gems are equally well rep.
resented by inclosing the lights in
mica, glass, or gelatined gauze. The
star in Faust" is almost of microscopic di-
mansions, in fact, until Illuminated, and tho
effect produced by II sword combat, where
these form the connecting terminals of a
heavy battery, is fully as near akin to the
marvellous in the spark shower thus pro-
duced.

"No, the custom Is not original. 1t comes
from abroad, where roues, dandies, and court
followers who are getting old make up to a
greater extent than the most slender and
homcly ballet-danccr in the country. After
a man gets to be between As and SO years Of
age his abdominal region expands and he
becomes corpulent- To avoid his he
orders an appliance, which, although it
differs somewhat from the female corset, is
virtually n corset. and clinches the wearers
adipose tissue up so as to make his form
almost as perfect as an Apollo. Then by the
judicious use of a few pads and some paint
and powder, aided by false teeth and hair
dye, the aged beau looks many years younger
and frisks about a ballroom with n step as
light as n youth of 20. Army officers, as a
general thing, are very proud of their
shapes, and il nature has been unkind to
them they wear corsets and pad. There are

right fair is her youth and right good

Tail cherry trees dropped their white blossom
that drifted no whit from its place,
For the south very far out TO sea had the
lulling low voice of the wind.
And the child's dancing foot gave US part in
the ravishment almost a pain;
An infinite tremor OF life, a fond murmur
