A Terrible Punishment.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.1
Every body who knows Judge Long
worth-and there are few people In Ham
ilton County who do not both know and
admire him-will remember the famous
coat of Siberian fur, which, while pos
sibly too pronounce for member of the
bar, is the hapdsomest garment ever
seen hereabouts, and during the late
cold snap must have been a treasure of
treasures. Well, it happened lately
that Matt Morgan saw the Judge at a
distance during the Is degrees below
zero spell and asked friend:
"WhO is that Laplander ?"
That, said the party Intercepted,
sis your friend, Judge Longworth.
Matt quietly took the points, and
next day lnclosed the Judge caricature
of himself in his furs. 1t was an aston
ishing likeness, but his honor looked
like an advance agent for Patti.
Yesterday the judge came down town
looking as mad as hatter-mad as a
furrier, would perhaps be more appro-
pirate. He sent for Detective Wappen-
stein, and for his friend 81. F. Fanny,
the artist. Together the three went to
the Strobridge rooms, where Matt Nor
gan, citizen of the world and universal
genius, sat at work surrounded by his
busy corps of artists. "Sir," said the
ex-iudge, "you have, I am told, been
caricaturing me-"
Matt, seeing the officer, was some
what aghast, and faltered some reply,
when the Judge continued: Do you
know the story of brakes white horse?"
Ono" said Matt. "WeIl, the people
who abused him were compelled to ride
him forever, and so you must wear
these always" At the words the burly
Fanny and the ,wiry Wapenstein seized
the genial artist and forced him into the
judges famous coat and hat.
The party then adjourned to the ST.
Nicholas, where Mr.. Morgan called fol
luncheon for four, and whence the
judge sent for a new overcoat and hat.

A BIG BUSINESS.

That of the American Lumber Company,
Which Failed Tuesday.
ST.. IGNACE, Mich, January 31.-The
American Lumber Company, of Dollar
vile, which made an assignment IN To
ronto, Ont, Tuesday, was limited
one, and, according to its statement,
had a capital of 100000. 1t
was composed of English and
Scotch capitalists, and was organized
to operate in numbering IN the
Upper Peninsula, and had purchased
all the available pine lands of the De-
troit, Mackinac and Marquette land
grant, to the extent of four or five hun
dred thousand acres. It located at Dol
larville, on the bank of the Tacquemon
River, where it erected large mill-one
of the finest and most complete IN the
north peninsula-stores and dwelling
houses, huge warehouses, etc., building
up town of about 800 inhabit-
ants. The company's manager at Dol
larville knows nothing of what it intends
doing, as he has received no instruc-
tions. The company has about Is, OOO,-
900 logs banked and in the river, and
about 5000, 900 not hauled. They had
between 800 and 400 men in their en-
ploy, to the most of whom they owe
several months wages; and as no pro-
vision has been made to pay them, they
are in great distress-in fact, nearly on
the verge of starvation-and it is not
improbable that they may make
trouble. Numerous attachments have
been put on the goods, etc., of
the company, and a lawyer has gone
from here to place attachments for the
mems wages Work in every depart
ment has been stopped and hundreds of
teams are idle. The store was closed
Tuesday on an attachment of Beatty,
Fitzsimon & Co., of Detroit. Nothing
can be learned of the cause of the failure
or amount of liabilities, assets, or OF
what the company intends doing. The
Detroit, Mackinac and Marquette Rail
road Company has seized on all the tim
Der. It is thought that the business will
| not remain idle very long.

The Story of an Indian Princess.

Z" Winnemucca, the Piute Princess,
is a lecturer. The name Winnemucca
signifies "mirage," but in this instance
a very substantial mirage, for she looks
as if she might weigh about $50 pounds.
She is, moreover, of square and rugged
build, about five feet In height, and has
all the characteristic features of the In
dian. She appears dressed in her ma
tive costume, which is covered with Pc
culiar Indian bead-work. Her straight,
black hair falls loosely about her shout
ders, and her arms, bare to the shout
ders, are encircled with ornaments. In
speaking she rarely deviates from a
monotone, but her earnest and lmpul-
sive delivery gives great strength to her
recital of Indian wrongs. She shows an
acquaintance with current crazes by
saying at the opening of her lecture that
she is sorry she cannot entertain her
hearers with talk on flowers and on the
beautiful things in the world as the poet
Oscar Wilde could do, and sorry that
she, personally, can not offer them the
pleasure of looking on such beauty as
Mrs. Langtry's. Her lecture is reel
tai of the wrongs suffered by her people
through the government and its unprin-
cipled agents. Sand this is the free
dom of your great land p she says.
"My brothers are worse off than the
negroes were, for whom you shed your
blood. How long will you shut your
eyes to this spectacle The Indian
does not want a fine home nor a
great fortune. We want to be civilized
we don't want money. Send us some
one to teach us to read. Trample us
not longer under your feet. Give us a
word. Lee us stand in your court
houses. Are we not human? Does not
your minister fairly dance in his pulpit
telling you TO love your neighbor Are
we not your neighbor? Ifnot, you hate
us. We only want little ground to
plant few potatoes in, little room for
few hills of corn" Her book is en-
titled "Life Among Piutes, their
Wrongs and Claims" It was edited
by Mrs. Horace Mann, of Boston. In
offering picture of herself for sale, she
said-since 1t was that people bought
pictures of cats and of owls to decorate
their homes-may be they would like tc
have one of herself for the same, pur.
| pose.

TUNNELED HIS BRAIN.
A WOuId-be Suicide a Remarkable Study

WOuId-be Suicide Remarkable Study
for Surgeons.
New YORK, January ga remark
able surgical operation has just been
performed at Bellevue Hospital. Last
Thursday young German attempted
suicide by shooting himself in the fore
head. When found by the police he
was unconscious. He was taken to
Bellevue, where DR.. Fluher on exam
lining the wound decided to at
tempt to find the bullet. The skull at
the entrance of the wound was ire
PANIED, and it was found that the probe,
which was inserted towards the back of
the head, went so far that it was decided
to make a counter opening with the tre-
phine opposite the point of the probe.
When the opening had been made the
bullet was found lying in the brain, just
below the opening In the skull. Then,
the bullet having been removed,
drainage tube was passed through
the brain in the track of
the ball and left in place. The tube
passes through the head and projects
both front and back about an inch.
Since the operation the patient has been
constantly improving, although stupid
and semi-unconscious. When spoken to
he opens his eyes, and when asked if he
wishes water can say yes or no. This is
the first operation of the kind ever per-
formed. It occupied about four hours
time, and was witnessed by large num-
Der of the surgical staff of Bellevue

MYSTERIOUS Disappearance of Big Pack
age of Bank Bills.
TORONTO, Ont, February There is
a flutter of excitement, attended by a
considerable amount of mystery, at the
Queen Street Branch of the Dominion
e INK. The Queen Street Branch is sup
piled with funds as required by the head
office. at the corner of Young and King
Streets. One day last week supply OF
funds was required by the branch and
word was sent to the head office. A
package of 81, 500 was accordingly dis
patched by the bank messenger,
who in due course reached the
Queen Street Branch. The teller did
not happen to be In at the moment and
the messenger handed the package to
one of the clerks, who In turn placed 1t
in box In the teller's compartment,
awaiting the arrival of that gentleman.
The latter In due course came In and
went about his work as usual. A tele-
phone message had been sent In the
meantime to the head Office asking why
funds had not been dispatched for the
use of the bank. The reply came that
a package of $1,000 had been delivered
some time before by the regular mes
senger Of the bank. A hunt was lmme-
diately made for the missing package
and the clerks were examined, but no
trace of the 81, 500 i'll crisp bank-notes
could be found, and the mystery still re-
m inns unsettled.

London the Cheapest Market in the
WOrId-A Regular GIut.
New YORK, January 30. - Private
mail advices to one of the leading ex-
porting houses in this city show the de-
pressed condition in British markets at
the time of writing. A London letter
says: "America has been completely
wrong with regard to our mar
kets. We have not only done without
her assistance, but we have the largest
stock ever known. Our trade is entirely
demoralized. W hold so heavily of
-four that they are obliged to give it to
other factors to sell, and they are taking
almost any bid made them. London is
now relatively the cheapest market in
the world. Our classed -four is a per-
feet drug, as common wheats are so ex-
tremely cheap"
A Glasgow letter says: "Flour is be-
ing slaughtered right and left. One
thousand sacks straight Minnesota were
sold yesterday at 29s per $50 pounds
usual credit terms. Other kinds are
selling in the same proportion. A large
quantity of -four is held here by parties
who cannot finance it themselves, and it
will be thrown on the mark ct very soon
if things do not take turn"
From Newcastle comes the following:
"Supplies of wheat and -four are great
ly in excess. All late shipments into
this market will lose heavily"

PORTER LOSING GROUND.

Causing Disgust.

SIocum's Management of the Porter Bill
Causing Disgust.
WASHINGTON, January %. = The
friends of the Fitz John Porter bill have
become pretty thoroughly Disguised
with Mr.. Slocum's management. One
man who is yet to speak in favor of the
bill said that within week at least ten
members have changed their minds, and
will now vote against the measure
whereas they had before indicated their
intention to vote for it. He expected
that the republican side of the house
would be evenly divided. His opinion
now is that not more than one-fourth OF
the republicans will vote for it, and he
thinks there is danger that some of the
ex-confederates, upon whom Horr's
speech made a deep impression,
will decline to vote at all on
the ground that they have no
right to interfere Ia a family quarrel
which originated and was settled in the
north during the war. A good many re-
publicans are receiving letters from
their constituents who were Union sol
diers protesting against any action on
their part to restore Porter to the army.
Some of these letters are such that con-
gressmen cannot afford to disregard
them, and they have already produced q
sensible influence In the house.

He Twisted Her Tail.
rFrom the New York Tribune. ]

It was a COW, with mild brown eyes,
auburn bangs and tail with aIoose lock
on the end, that switched the air and
knocked imaginary flies into the here
after with a snap. She was Just being
led down West Street, New York, to-
ward the COrtlandt Street ferry by
fredericksburg Jerseyman, whose
complexion, owing to the cold weather
and hot whisky, was as red as meteoric
sunset. Suddenly, with what was ap
parently unnecessary cruelty, the Jer-
seyman struck the COW across the flank
with a club, swung his arms over his
head, danced maddening double-shufie
III the street, and sat down with strange
rapidityupon car rail. The COW looked
over her shoulder reprovingly, and stood
in her tracks. The Jerseyman arose
from the impression he had made upon
the ice, smoothed his coat-tails caress-
InglY. and started toward the COW. He
raped her once, spat on his hands
raped her twice, put his shoulder
against her side-all to move her out of
the tracks of the drays-but to no avail
A crowd assembled. The Jerseyman
got lots Of sympathy but no assistance.
One man suggested that she had frozen
fast; another that she was undecided
about the policy Of the new board of
aldermen. TIE owner went few yards
ahead, grinned a CHASTITY grin, and shak-
ing his club behind him In q suppressed
fury pleaded In persuasive tones,
"Come, Mooly-come, Mooly-Mooly. y
But Moody saw the club.
At last from the crowd stepped lank
and unehaven specimen Of longshore-
man. He was gifted with wisdom be-
yond mis- kind. He drew the owner of
the COW aside and whispered in his ear:
"Twist her tail I" The Jerseyman
shook his head. Then, as though bid
ding for the support of the multitude,
the 'Iongshoreman raised his arm and
making a sweeping gesture exclaimed
Scents, I says twist her tail"
ssTWist it yerself, was the answer.
A glance of scorn upon the crowd, and
the 'longshoreman barred his brawny arm
and stepped up to the COW. He took
the love-lock in his hand; ran his fingers
through it and clinched them, grasped
the middle Of the tail with his left hand,
and tried to tie knot. An agonizing 81
Ience, which was broken by groan and
dotted with a broad -brimmed hat, pail
of saspenders, and the arms and legs OF
'Iongshoreman doing calisthenics in the
frosty air. The battered remains of the
'longshoreman were carried away NUT
tering blasphemy. The COW after she
had replaced her hind hoofs on the
ground was led on to the ferry by the
Jerseyman, who observed as he paid hi
fare:
"Takes more'n Yorker to learn me-

DETROIT, Mich, January 29.-Charles
Reschka, a fireman employed in the
Mutual Gas Works, rushed out of the
engine-room at 3 o'clock Saturday morn
ing completely en7eloped In flames. Be-
fore the flames were put out he was
horribly burned, and has since died at
his home In this city. Reschka quar-
relied with another employe named
Heintz, and the latter threw a
bucket of naphtha over him. The naph-
tina Immediately caught fire from the
heat of the furnace, near which Reschka
stood, and blazed up with the result
stated. Heintz says he was in fun.
Reschka threw an old boot at him, and
he retorted by throwing the naphtha,
which then accidentally caught fire.
The coroner has not decided whether to
order HeintZ under arrest.

It was a long one, because the bark was
slightly grazed high up, and about three
inches above the mark left by the muz-
zle there was slighter mark made by
the ramrod, showing that it projected
three inches. The man wore gray

thread had been caught by the bark.
There was place where the little dog
sat on his haunches-his stump tail left
a mark in the yielding soil. The muir

loaded his gun he set the butt good

she was such contrast to the others

too young to appreciate that she was

OF the china doll order, pink cheeks and
delicate features. I had not yet conceiv-

grew older after leaving this place and
thinking over this woman 1 perceived
that she was really beautiful. She was
finely formed, stately in her movements.

FreebOOters ScOOping Up Bivalves in
Chesapeake Bay.
BALTIMORE, Md, January 31.-The
oyster pirates are again dredging on
private grounds. During the recent cold
snap, when the oyster-bed5 were frozen
over, they had to cease their depreda-
tions, but the last few days they have re-
sumed their piratical work. So lawless
are some of these dredging crews that
they fly the black flag from the mast
head of their vessels, and frequently
show fight to the police boats. Some
days ago feet of these oyster pirates
was seen cruising off Guilford and Hunt
ing Creeks. State Inspector George
Human and a small posse of men put
off shore to capture the dredgers. He
had one boat, one large goose gun,
and plenty of small arms. He opened
fire on the nearest vessel of the
illegal dredging feet, when, in
stead of a retreat, all the vessels Of the
pirates closed in and opened fire upon
Capt Human. The captain and his
crew made hasty retreat to the shore,
and left the fleet in possession of the wa
tiers. Next day Capt. Human sum-
moned about $50 men and started up the
sound, only to find that the entire pirat-
zeal feet had escaped during the night
down the Chesapeake. These vessels
had boards nailed over their names.

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.

Ine marquis of LOrne and Princess Louise
Agitating Emigration to Canada.
LONDON, January 30.-At a meet,
ing OF the Society of Arts last evening,
the Marquis of Lorne presiding, paper
was read upon emigration to Canada.
Princess Louise is interested in the work
of the Emigration Society. Calf, lately
high commissioner for Canada, said
200, 900, 600 acres of land had been given
away in farms on the simple condition
that the farmer should have the right
of ownership. The Canadians thus re-
jected the doctrines Of Henry George
The Marquis of Lorne said he had
been greatly surprised to see a most ex-
traOrdinary telegram purporting to have
emanated from New York, which asserted
that the financeso Canada were In a bad
way and were going generally to the
devil, but he had been relieved next day
by receiving a letter from the secretary
of the high commissioner for Canada,
which showed that the figures in the dis
patch were altogether erroneous, being
in many instances hundreds of thousands
of dollars out of the way. This had led
him to the conclusion that while
many people in America were kindly af-
fected toward Great Britain and all
things British, it was certain that others
were quite the reverse. AS far as he
himself was concerned, he could only
speak most lovingly of the American
people, but at the same time English
men should not allow their love for their
kinsmen across the Atlantic to make
them forget that their own flock in
America had the first claim upon them.
