COL. OCHILTREE's ROMANCE
The Texas Hero. Vanquished at Last, Ae-
cepts the Situation in Good Faith
Hartford Times

Representative Tom Ochiltree is at last
to marry fortune. The Roaring Red
headed Ranger OF the Rio Grande, whose
hnnhnlnie makes nvory body his friend is
kay, the adopted daughter Of John w
Mackay. the Pacific coast millionaire
Among his friends Mr.. Ochiltree makes no
c0ncealmentof the fact ofhis approaching
marriage. Miss Mackay. as is well known.
has resided with her mother in Paris for
four or five years. During that time all
kinds OF royal gTandees have paid court
to her and her share Of her fathers SIS
100000; but in each and every case she
/ has plainly indicated that she did not want
them, and quietly picked up their hats
and left.
\ gentleman who claims to know all
about il, says the Texas Representative
met John w. MacKay several years since,
when conversation sprang up about
marriage. Mackay remarked, IN a fami-
liar way, Shaping the genial Tom on the
| back:
Tom. you are getting Old enough now,
why don't you get married:''
Tom replied:
Il can't fud lady who viii have me -
There was more talk. and Ochiltree pat
in: by the way. Mackay. you have a
little girl over in Paris. l would Ike
70 marry her"
"Well," said Mackay, you have my
consent, and if you get hers it viii be ali
right" Mr.. Ochiltree spent over SIX
weeks at the Mackay palace in Paris
last summer. He wooed and won her.
The only difficulty in this interesting
story is that Ochiltree is himself the
author Of it. The ordinary public look
| upon him as the prince Of American truth
wrestlers. At the same time, his many
I friends would be exceedingly pleased to
| band, and that Tom himself got such a
/ rich wife.

His Deal in Hale and Norcross.


Before the Hale and Norcross fight came
on there arrived in town a dissipated
miner who had worked in the mine. lie
was pretty badly down. apparently, but
he went into a brokers' Office, and, after
being told to get out as tramp, he said
he thought a good deal Of Hale and Nor
cross, and wanted to invest a tri1ng sum
in it. Two feet, at Sl15, were bought for
him, and he gave the certificate to the
broker, saying that he was going down to
Mexico prospecting, and he would like to
leave it behind to be dealt with as the
broker saw fit. He was not heard Of for
months. Hale and NOrcrOss was up to
$4,000 "A foot. One morning the broker
found the dilapidated miner on his door
step when he came down. The miner
arose and said:
"Well, I'm here. l thought I'd come
and see you. l s'pOse there amt nothin'
left o that Hale and NOrcross? / guess
you must "a sold it out, but Pm down an
four bits, to get a bit Of breakfast"
The broker looked at him and gave him
s. to 90 and get a bath and a breakfast,
and presently hereturned.
'Sit down and wait minute. III make
up your account presently" He came
back with check and sent his clerk down
to the bank. The clerk returned with a
Bag bag OF gOld. The poor devil watched
the proceedings with q miserable indif-
erence. The gold was all stacked upon
the counter.
Look here. I've sold your two feet Of
Hale and Norcross for $25, 600. and here's
your money"
The miner fell on the floor and cried like
baby. He could not read or write, and
had no idea what the market was. lie
sent a draft Of $4,000 to his mother. The
broker bought for him $40, 900 worth Of reg
istered bonds, and gave him s., 400 in
coin, which be spent in three days. TWO
bunkO men brought him in drunk, and
tried 10 get his bonds, but the broker
drove them out, and when the man got
sober he came and had the bonds sewed
into his clothes, and was despatched East.
lie has never been heard Of since.

Douglas Slaves.

age, getting out rude pine shingles. Al
ter learning some interesting facts con-
corning his slave life, he gave me to IN
derstand that he was Of noble extraction,
having been the property Of "Massa
Douglas frum de NOrf.' He recollected
the brilliant and powerful Senator very
well, but had a much clearer remem-
brance of BOSS Stricklun," overseer OF
the plantation,
''How many slaves did Douglas owl? -
''AbOut 10, sab, children an all: mighty
good niggahs, too. sab, but boss strieLlun

unhestating answer.
On going TO dinner my Inquiries discOy-
cred several persons who recollected that
Douglas once owned a slave plantation in
Lawrence county, and one could tell IRE
how to reach the historic spot, which is on
Pearl river, a pleasant stream of yellow
ish, pearly color. No one knew hOw the
slaves came into possession Of Douglas
but ''reckoned" he bought them 'b0ui
forty wears ago.

Handkerchiefs Of Russian soldiers

P0It NdH Gazette.
As new part in the equipment of a
Russian soldier, the st. Petersburg Ga
zette describes military handkerchief,
designed by a Russian officer, and manu-
featured in large factory at st. Peters
burg. The cotton handkerchief has a
border representing the most lively battle
scenes, with full descriptions Of each
picture, while from the middle the sol
der may take lesson in the mechanism
of all kinds Of rifles and guns, CT which
clear and accurate drawings
and minute explanations are
given. 1t is said that these
handkerchiefs are becoming very popu-
lar among the soldiers, which is not as
tonishing, if the eager desire Of the Rus
sian for information about all kinds Of
machinery is considered. This infOrma-
ton has, however, to be impaired to their
child-like nature in the simplest possible
form, and therefore the idea Of imparting
it by pocket handkerehiefs, absurd as it
may appear, is not ill-adapted to the re-
quirements of those for whom 1t was
intended.

A Quaker Belle,

Philadelphia Letter to Chicago Tribune.
1t is very funny to see the tenacity
with which certain society young mo-.
of Quaker descent cling to some of the
distinctive marks of the religion of
their childhood. There is a charming
little Quakeress, the life and the flower
of the small dancing class, whose life is
proof in point. She is a dainty bru-
nette, with dancing black evesand a per-
feet carriage. Her dear old dad, who
was a member of che of the chief Quak-
er meetings, diad, and left her more
than 81 200, 900 that he had accumu-
lated in the dry goods trade. She vas
petted and spoiled, and all sorts of con-
cessions in the way of dress made to
Der. She was taught painting and mu-
sic, too, and her devoted old papa was
almost fired out of the meeting for hav-
ing a piano for her in his house. She
loved him quite as tenderly as he loved
her, and when he parted from her for
all time her grief was unaffected
md touching. However, she had lost
all taste for the life of routine and self

Fox. She had gone IL strongly for the
beautiful and elegant in social
intercourse, and her munificent in

tastes. She wore twenty-eight differ
emit toilets last season, and she languish-
ly said day before yesterday that she
wat about importing twelve new ones
for the coming winter. She did not
disclose what is nevertheless a fact
that is. that most of the twenty-eight
old costumes, after being ono or twice
worn, were made into nice frocks for
the poor children of a Sunday school
in which she takes an interest. Al
though she has entirely given up the
society of Friends in everything sub
stantial, she yet insists on using the
plain language. There is a current
suspicion that the rogulsh little beauty
is quite conscious of the fact that she
adds to her charm by the use of her
quaint 'thees' and 'thys.' Fancy q be-

The Evil Of Debt.

A writer in the Agricultural Gazette,
of London, says that the difficulty and
misery all round, arising out of keeping
money in your hands, which Is not
yours, cannot be exaggerated. To
make all shop-keepers money-lenders,
too, is always folly; often it is immoral
ity; and more often then you imagine.
it is cruelty. Wealthy families, to
whom in comparison with others life is
little but a pastime, who take their
pleasure and their holiday while bills
remain unpaid, should consider mi
times the trouble and distress which
with light-hearted thoughtlessness their
neglect has left behind them. Paltry
matters as they think them, creating
only petty irritation here, may there be
creating sleepless anxiety and grief,
and even ruin. "Riches make them
selves wings" There is but one excep-
ton to this truth. That portion of
your means which has been used to pay
IL Just debt is alone, SO far as you are
concerned, absolutely safe. Pay your
debts then, promptly. Not to do it
is dishonesty; and even to delay it is to
palter with dishonesty.

The Best Patrons of Hotels.

Brooklyn Eagle: The manager of a
large hotel in London is making an in
tesesting experiment. 1t is designed to
ascertain which nationality are the best
customers at a hotel. Having a urn
for statistics he went into the matter
very carefully, the results of bis inquir-
les being that the Englishmen stood at
the top of the list, as spending most
n Next came the German, then
came the Frenchman and finally the
American. This last is a marvel, the
more so that many wealthy Americans
who go across the ocean do not stint
themselves. But what runs up a mans
bill in a hotel is not what he eats, but
what he drinks, and the average Amer
lean rarely drinks anything but water at
his meal. At home be makes up for
this to some extent by taking q smile"
here and an "eye-opener" there. just
before the dinner hour at any big Amer
lean hotel tho bar is densely crowded
with men drinking seductive %spirituous
mixtures. which must be much more
deleterious than a fair allowance of good
wine. Probably this habit is observed
in England, and as what the guest takes
at the bar is therenpon paid for and does
not appear in the bill, the Americans
may be better customers than they APP
pear to the discontented eye of a hotel
manager.

Bonnie Annie Laurie.

Who was Bonnie Annie Laurie ?"
Nearly everybody has sung, or heard
sung the beautiful ballad of annie
Laurie" Annie Laurie was no myth.
Nearly two hundred years ago Sir
Robert Laurie, of Maxwelton, Of Dunn
friesshire, Scotland, quantity wrote in
his family register these words: Eat the
pleasure IF the Almighty God, my
daughter, Annie Laurie, was born on the
10th day of December, 1852, about six
o'clock in the morning, and was bap-
tized by Mr.. George Hunter, of Glen
c%airne." Armies mother was namod
Jean Riddle, to whom Sir Robert was
married upon the 9th day OF July,
1874, at the Iron Kirk Of Edinburgh.
by Mr., Annnne," as was also recorded
by her father himself. Posterity owes
to Mr.. William Douglas, of England,
in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (who wooed but
did not win the capricious Annie). the
song of"Bonnie Annie Laurie" wherein
he celebrated the beauty and transcend
ent perfection Of the maid of Maxwelton.
