THE MARQUIS DE LEuEvILLE.

This morning, as came down town in the
elevated train, heard fearful shrek just
MS the car was starting down from Four
teenth street and observed that the gate
keeper threw the gate open wide, stepped
back, bowed with ironicAl politeness and
winked with great waggishness to the bust
ness men in the car. A moment later the
trotted in. His raiment was gorgeous. His
shoulders were wider than ever and one
could almost span his waist. His hair was
artistically banged low on his brow and his
white felt hat balanced on the back of his
head 30 as to exhibit his front hair, or hair
front I've forgotten what the girls call it.
He took handkerchief from his pocket as
he sat down directly opposite me, and deli.
cately touched the banged hair over his
brow. Then he daintily caressed his whis
kers, smiled sweetly at his boots and raised
his eyes. When one considers that tha
Marquis weighs something over 225 pounds,
the homogeneous nature of the exhibit may
possibly be imagined. As he raised his eyes
no detected me in the act of engineering the
same uDholy grin that had incensed him
once before, and as he scowled he accident
ally dropped his cane. 1.-THE cane-fell

tary impulse to pick it up. restrained
myself and looked coldly at the Marquis,
who, was sure, had smaller waist than
usual that morning. He looked ct the cane,
and the luminosity died out Of his eyes as
the awful fact presented itself to him. Tht
other men in the car who were looking on
caught the situation at o glance and no one
offered to pick up the cane. He raised his
finger and beckoned TO the brakeman, but
that functionary made some impolite remark
and continued whistling an dir from Cor
delia's Aspirations. rat last, with an effort,
the Marquis set his lips bent over and
cached for the stick. He grew very red,
,uffed heavily, suddenly Strengthened him
self again and involuntarily put his hand to
his side; then he made another fierce effort,
grabbed the stick, threw himself triumph
antly back and panted heavily, while .
subdued murmur of applause ran around
the car.-Neo York Letter to San Franois-
co Arg0ndut.

Look here" said Col Bluster, ADDRESSING
an acquaintance whom he suddenly met in
turning corner, "you are very long
time in paying that bill. You do not seem
to care" "Oh, yes do, colonel" "No,
sir, you do not. You do not seem to re-
member your obligation" "Oh, remem-
Der it, colonel. If did not, would not
cross the street to avoid meeting you. I
have keen sense of obligation otherwise 1
would not BIO put to 30 much trouble"
" Now here; you are not acting rightly,
Just put yourself in my place and"
" impossible, colonel. I cannot put myself
in your place. cannot imagine your feel

ent of the louisville Commercial. On all
of these interest has been closed, and there
can be no possible reasons for the holders
to delay presenting them for redemption.
Some of them have been due for many years.
On some of them there are due large sums
of interest, which have not been called for.
30 that the interest on these alone amounts
to S347,0 900. What has become of these
documents and why they are not presented
is something no one can find out Some of
them matured half Il century ago, and are
still unheard from and unpresented.
OF the old debt, which matured prior to
January 1, 1887, there is still outstanding
$57 $3.50 of principal, and 1854, TIA of inter-
est OF the Texan indemnity stock, which
matured 20 years ago, there is $780, 900 yet
outstanding not presented. OF the 5-20s Of
'63, which matured more than 10 years ago,
and on which interest ceased at that time,
there is still outstanding 1856, $50 or the
10-i0s of ga which matured years ago,
there is yet unpresented $l78, $50, with in
terest of $l5, AGO also due and unpaid. OF
the per cent. consols, which matured 2
years earlier, there was 1886, 900 yet I'M
presented, and of the per cent. consols
matured in 1879 there is over half mil
lion dollars yet uncalled for, with interest
matured, $3.50, 900.
OF the 8 per cents, which matured in 1881
49, there is still nearly 100000 unpresent-
ed though the interest ceased at maturity.
OF the compound interest notes of 1864,
which bear per cent. interest and which
matured in 1867 and '6S, over 1920, 900 ara

of the same year, which matured more than
10 years ago, $133, 800 has never yet been
called for, nor has some 500, 900 OF intvrest

of these bonds, which represent SO much

Some of them have probably been des-

THE KING OF THE WIRES.
How DIR. Noryin Green Handles the West
ern Unions Affairs.

DIR. Norvin Green came here, I believe.
from Kentucky, but wherever he came from,
he came to stay. Whatever may be the
merits or dement's of discussion, pro and
con, the credit of this great organization,
whatever may be the facts concerning its
stock or the fluctuations in its price, | have
yet to find or hear of man or a critic who
had word to say against tn character, the
mental acumen, the physical energy or the
nexhaustible resources of President Green.
He deals with large masses of men as gen
erals deal with armies. He meets with
electricians upon plane of intelligence,
and discusses with them problems which
would puzzle the ordinary expert. He ex-
plores new fields for enterprise with the
zest and enthusiasm of professional sur.
veyor. He explains to holders of vast
blocks of the property in his control the
difficulties and embarrassments in the way Of
brokers, satisfying them absolutely of the
validity of his enterprises and the prosperity
attending the company over whose destiny
he presides.
DIR. Green is o great man, even when
judged by the side of men universally rec
ognized as far above their associates and
fellows. That this great county is too vast
for the domination of any one company is q
truism which needs no argument, amt tha
other enterprises can, will and do find favor
with the popular mind is eyinced by the
success attending the opposition companies,
the Baltimore and Ohio and the new Nation.
al, which have now entered into direct and
sensible competition with the old monopoly.
DIR. Green differs very materially from his
predecessor, William Orion. Both, how
ever, were men of the world, enjoying the
good things Of life in their season. But
tae death of Orion and the instant success
IF Green go to show how utterly absurd il
Is for any man to suppose that his life q
his existence has an all-important bearing
upon any of the great enterprises of the
day.
When Orion died, was supposed the
Western Union Telegraph Company had re,
ceived q mortal blow, almost, but il Ortou
was suddenly TO return TO life, his great
gray eyes would open with amazement as
they rested upon paper statement of the
business done by the company and the vast
area of which it holds control Green is
not the only q man of business and vast
enterprise, but he is a helpful, considerable,
friendly person, to whom tens of thousands
look for guidance and opportunity to work.
With his steady hand upon the helm the
great company of which he is the controller
and director, as well as President, pushes
proudly through the waves of competition,
quite confident, in its own strength that it
will receive its full share of public favor in
the future rs il has 30 many years in the
past -Joe Ho,oard IN the Philadelphia
