How Jere Black Paid Bills.

The late Judge Jere Black was very care-
less In money matters. An incident Is re-
lated by one of bis friends that Is character
istic of the dead jurist. "During the first
years of Judge Blacks career as Attorney
General said nay informant, 81 was . fire.
quent visitor of the department Of justice.
was young then As lawyer, and was very
glad to have an opportunity Of listening to
the conversation of so great . lawyer Is
Judge Black. One morning man entered
and handed piece of paper to the Attorney
General. Dear me- he said, running his
fingers through his hair, Il thought I had
paid that before.' No, sir said the man.
The Judge reached forward for his check
book, but not finding 1t at once he put his
hands into his pockets and fumbled around
for some change. He drew out handful Of
bills and papers. 'Ah, ah! what's this?' he
said, unfolding . paper and comparing it
with the bill Ia front Of him. You internal
liar he exclaimed, excitedly jumping up
aud seizlng the man by the collar, here Ii
your own receipt for this bill, dated only ten
days ago. The man performed war dance
around the Office, the Judge acting ss chief
instructor. His heels frequently came In
contact with his head. He was finally kicked
into the street. In looking through his desk
the Judge found three separate receipts from
this man for the same account, y believe
that was born to be swindled,' said Judge
Black, ruefully holding up the receipts for
my inspection"

A CCLORED SAMSON.
The Battle Between North Carolina Negro
and an Elephant.

One Of the cases before the Mayor Jester-
day morning of more than ordinary interest,
says the Charlotte Journal Observer, was
that Of Rufus Reed, colored, who was charged
with an affray with Sells little elephant, and
the facts brought out at the trial proved that
the fight between the elephant and the man
was severe one, and furthermore that the
man whipped the elephant. Reed, who is q
tall, muscular colored man, had been giving
the elephant few apples, handing 1t all ex-
cept one, which he put in his vest pocket.
While his attention was turned the elephant
reached cut Its trunk, and getting hold Of
Rufus pocket, tried to pull the apple out,
tearing the vest nearly of before the wearer's
attention was turned to the elephants
prank.
Seizing the elephants trunk Cssnoot," he
called it) he tried to wrench his vest and
apple away from it, but the elephant drew
Its trunk from Reeds hands, and, swinging
1t around, gave Reed 3 terrible blow on the
side Of the head. Reed drew back and
felled the slephantto the ground with blow
from his fist, delivered over the eye. The
elephants keeper then attacked Reed, and
Reed Knocked him down. In the meantime
the elephant had regained Its legs and gave
Reed another blow on the side. Reed wss
now thoroughly exsperated, and actually
knocked the elephant over on Its back, and
then LEFT the tent. Is the elephant had left
the city and could not appear In court yes
terdsy, the Mayor took Reeds statement and
let him of lightly, feeling that the elephant
deserved the iogsing. Reed Ia powerfully
built man and Is something Of giant in
proportions. He ID the same who had the
fight with the bear, in which the bear was
killed, at Lowell, some months ago. His
fight with the elephant was witnessed by .
number Of our citizens.

GENERAL sHERMAN's WEALTH.
What Became OF Those Big Diamonds the
Khedive of Egypt Sent To His
Daughter.
WdsI,ington Special.

Washington Special
There is no one who can furnish the sta
tistics In regard to this except General Sher-
man himself, and the probabilities are that
no one will get the information from him
even II they asked for 1t. General Sherman
has received as gifts in the shape Of houses
and presents to the value of $4,000 since he
has held his present place as General Of the
Army. This, of course, does not include
the diamonds given to his daughter, Mrs.
Fitch, by the Khedive Of Egypt, and since
divided up in sets, q set for each of bis
daughters. These diamonds are worth more
than $4,000. For the past fifteen years he
has received a salary Of s17,5oo per year.
He will continue to receive this princely SAL
ary as long as he lives, as his retirement does
not affect 1t In any way. Two of his daugh-
ters-one who lives with her husband In
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Fitch, who lives In
St. Louls-are wealthy on their own ac-
count.
General Sherman has been q very careful
liver, and has spent but little money. For
great part of the time he spent here he has
occupied suite of rooms at hotel, living
In modest and inexpensive way. The rest
of the time he occupied one of his several
fine houses. There is general impression
that he gave . great many entertainments,
but this is incorrect, as he has never given
over four entertainments in any one year
since he was In command of the army. The
salary that he will receive on the retired list
is the largest ever paid by the Government
10 any one. 1t Is more than twice the
amount paid to q cabinet officer, who neces-
sarily has to entertain twice asmuch. In no
one year has General Sherman spent one
half of his salary. He must, therefore, hsve
very nice bank account. Neither will he
give It to the boys to boom him for the Pres
idency. He says he don't want the Presi-
dency and wouldn't take 1t II offered him.
He looked Is fresh and burly as he entered
the War Department yesterday Is he did
twenty years ago, and yet he indulges In
late suppers and does all his writing after he
returns from the theater at night, frequently
sitting up until two o'clock In the morning

illustrated Correspondence Ne,o North. West.
Mathew Arnold the distinguished English
author, now on his way to the United States,
is the Oldest son of the late DR.. Arnold of
Rugby, England, and was born in that town
on the oath of December, 1922. He re-
ceived thorough education at Winchester
and Rugby and wrote some very clever
verses while at school. When eighteen
years Of age he was elected scholar of Balliol
College, Oxford, and four years later was
awarded the Newdigate prize. In 1916 LIE
became q fellow Of Orisl College, and in
1s47 was appointed Private Secretary to the
Lord of Landsdowne. His first poem, "The
Strayed Reveler," appeared in 1s4s and ex>
cited very favorable criticism. He was ap-
pointed one Of Her Majesty's Inspectors Of
British schools in 1851, and although the
duties of the position were rather arduous,
his pen was not idle while he retained 1t. A
number Of his best poems were written about
this time, and shortly after he assumed the
Chair Of Poetry at Oxford. In 1851, ,Merope,a
tragedy modelled after the Grecian drama,
made its appearance. In 1S59-6O he visited
the continent In the interest of his govern
ment as an assistant Of the commissions ap-
pointed to inquire into the educational af-
fairs Of France, Holland and Germany, and
returning in 1861 he published a report Of
his inquiries. In 1866 he was sent on sim
liar mission to the continent, where he made
q diligent study of the methods Of secondary
education there In vogue.
The problems of education, politics and
religion seem to have engrossed the greater
part Of his attention latterly, and he Is now
probably more distinguished as a philoso-
pher than as poet. His most celebrated
lectures are on "Translating Homer" writ
written in 1861; "a French Eton, or Middle
Glass Education and the State" in 1854;
"The Study of Celtic Literature" In 1867;
"Schools and Universities of the Continent
in 1868; and "Higher Schools and Universe
ties in Germany" in 1874. He has written
many admirable essays, the best of which
are: Essays on Criticism" which appeared
in 1865; "Culture and Anarchy" in 1869;
"St Paul and Protestsntism," in 1870, and
Literature and Dogma" in 1872, the most
celebrated Of all, in which he subjected some
of the dogmss of religion to most severe and
audacious criticism. In 1879 he published
volume entitle "Mixed Essays" As q poet
Mr.. Arnold displays cultivated taste and
Imagination of exquisite purity. He Is
profound scholar, whose philosophy has had
. decided effect on the institutions of En-
gland. He has gradually discarded the doc
trinss of the English church, and has become
the champion of very liberal ideas.

NEW FEATURES IN WEDDINGS.
The True English styls--A Best Girl to Rival
the Best Man.

There are fashions In weddings as In dress.
Some years ago what was supposed to be the
English style was introduced. hepeculiar-
ity of this style lies in the absence Of BRIDE
maids, the presence of best man, and the
substitution of ushers for groomsmen. The
best man follows the groom from the vestry
and holds the groom's hat during the cere-
mony. But, after all, this does not seem to
be the genuine English style. 1t Ii rather
sort of compromise for mild Anglomaniacs
between the British and American methods.
The true through through English style
requires, beside best man and ushers, that
the bride shall walk up the aisle ungloved,
holding family prayer book. co.
An innovation In weddings which has,
however, nothing especial to do with the
English or American style, Is to strew the
middle aisle of the church with autumn
leaves. This picturesque feature was intro
duced at recent wedding in New Jersey,
the rustling leaves accompanying the seft
wedding music rs the bridal party approached
the altar. +4' @e'
But the most startling novelty was intro
duced at recent wedding in Sing Sing. As
. rival to the groom's best man, the bride
had "bsst GIRL" The "best girl" solves
the problem of what TO do with the best man
aftsr the ceremony, - be has the best girl to
escort down the aisle. For this reason the
new feature may become popular.
1t Is now not uncommon TO have young
girls In Kate Greenaway costume to attend
at the altar during the ceremony. a

ROARING RIVERS IN THE AIR.
Six Streams of Water that Came Down the
Hills from q CIoudless Sky.
Tucson Citizen.

On Sunday afternoon one of those curious
phenomena of nature occurred about thirty
miles southwest of Tucson, and from the
description given by eye-witnesses 1t was the
largest cloudburst ever known In this coun-
try. From Judge R. D. Ferguson the fol-
lowing account was gathered: On Sunday
he was returning from trip to the southern
part of the county. At 10 o'clock he put up
at Browns station to await dinner and avoid
the heat of the day. The sky all day was
cloudless except thunderstorm that was
observed travelling the SUBMITS Of the Santa
Catalinas and disappearing over the Rincons
In the northeast. Otherwise not cloud or
. vapor Of any kind was to be seen. The
sun was shining in all It's vigor, and As he
passed to the west his strength and glory
seemed undiminished. ......- ....
At 8 O'Clock Judge Ferguson resumed his
journey toward Tucson. He had come about
five miles when his attention was attracted
by roaring and cracking toward the west,
and, looking up, he saw liver Of water -
big a the Santa Cruz when 1t runs through
Warmers mill tail race and coming toward
him. Telling his driver to halt, they stopped
on top of . little knoll and watched the
waters as they violently ploughed the desert,
tearing stones and brush. They had evident
ly spent their force. After the food had
passed by the face Of the country was dis
figured and large gutter had been cut cross
the valley. The current came down of
small range Of low, rolling hills to the west.
Although the Judge and his companion
strained their eyes In the direction from
which the water came, not cloud was to
be seen. After the water had subsided suf-
ficiently to let them pass they went on.
They had hardly gone half mile when, TO
their utter astonishment there was another
stream equally IS large - the first one.
Again they peered toward the west, as II In
hopes to find some indication Of its source.
Passing on their astonishment Was doubled
to find another stream, and In this manner
