An Unsatisfied Zulu Quail Eater.


The managers of the Dime Museum
had little trouble yesterday in per-
suading Ozoveli, tie Zulu witch doctor,
to take his customary diet of three
quails. At first it was thought that he
was growing a little nauseatsd over his
daily dose, but it transpired that it was
the insignificance of the banquet that
had disguised him. He explained that
three quails might do very well for a
white man, but the Zulu considered it
quite trifing spread. In fact Manager
Gregory was informed that the Zulu had
struck for more extensive bill of fare,
and would eat no more unless accom-
panied by turkey, or at least chicken
or two. Besides which he wanted an ad-
ditional quart of beer or more lemonade.
Mr.. Gregory rebelled against this IN
reasonable demand, and swore BY
the sacred mule that he would
see the Zulu layout dead and delivered
before he would submit to such an ex.
pense. The trouble began in the camp
right away. and the Zulu set up howl
that was plainly heard in the southwest
corner OF the Southern Hotel. Deeming
discretion the better part of valor, Man.
ager Gregory finally said that it was i'm
pos IDLE to prepare a turkey for that day,
but that IL Ozoveli would get through on
quails alone he should have turkey to-
day. This promise had the effect to
restore quiet, and at 8 o'clock yesterday
the witch doctor demolished his three
quails, bread, potatoes, pint Of lemon3
AIDE and quart Of beer with his custom
airy celebrity. To-day it will be seen
whether the Zulu gourmand has the abil
ity to annihilate three quails and nine.
pound turkey.

An Austin merchant, who writes an
UNANIMOUSLY bad hand, recently employed
young man to act as copying clerk.
The first letter given to the latter to
copy was so utterly illegible that he
took it back to the merchant to. have
il deciphered. The merchant. who is very
irrascible, snatohed the letter out OF the
clerks hand. remarking hastily: "Why
any fool can read that. Just give it to
me and Ill read it." He made several
attempts to read his own handwriting,
but failed, whereupon he said, with
great dignity: II didn't write that letter
for me to read it myself. wrote it for

| Inc duilness which has prevailed IN
police circles during the past few days was
considerably enlivened yesterday even.
ing by one of those now-all-too.frequent
stories Of mans deception aud Of his
fellow-man's credulity. In the present
case the alleged deceiver is nice young
man from Chicago; the intended victim,
one Of our thrifty and energetic mer.
chants, who first looked upon the sun-god
from the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
but who has been, for some time past,
a worthy and industrious member Of
this community. The facts in the case,
as CLEANED by HERALD reporter, are in
substance these. A few days ago the
Pacific Express from Arizona bore to
this city among its precious freight a
young man of Hebrew extraction, who
was destined to open ono Angeleno's
eyes to the wickedness OF human nature.
Arrived in this city our hero made
proper haste to meet the merchant afore-
said. He introduced himself as M.
Rindskof. son of the prominent and
immensely wealthy Milwauk eean Of the
name, who was a recent candidate for
Mayor of his city. The young man rep
resented himself as the correspondent Of
the Chicago Times and said that he was
travelling in the Times special car. Our
unsuspecting mercantile friend received
the distinguished Bohemian with open
arms, so to speak. The two visited to-
gether the several points Of interest in
the vicinity and, in fact, the stranger
could have no possible complaint to
make against his townsman's hospitali-
ty. So matters went till this morning,
when Mr. Rindskof called at bank in
this city to have draft, ON his rich
father in Milwaukee, cashed. The off,
GERS of the bank required Identification.
This gave our hero pause, but only for a
moment. His kind, new.found friend
before his minds eye and he
fastened after him. They returned to-
gether to the bank, when the merchant
affirmed that, of course, he knew Mr..
Rindskof, the drawer. and unwarily
endorsed the draft, which was for the
sum of $50. After this the grateful
correspondent proposed to
his generous friend spin around town.
A couple Of hours of pleasant driving
was INDUCED in, until, towards o'clock |
in the afternoon, the merchant returned |
to his store with warm promises from Mr..
Rindskoff Of meeting him this morning.
The latter individual thence proceeded
as fast as horse-fesh could carry him
towards the railroad depot. but ill-luck |
overlook him. On his way the brother of
his intendid victim met him and, suspect |
ing from his manner that something was
wrong, hastened to make his brother ac-
quainted with his suspicious. Then 1t
was that ii flashed upon the merchant
