Trouble Deer ia Brooklyn.

There is trouble in Alva Pearsall's photo
graph gallery. On Sunday last a New York
paper published four columns about 'sBrooll-
Ign Relles.' The article dealt very person
ally with wives and daughters of some of the
most highly esteemed citizens of Brooklyn,
and woodcuts claiming TO be portraits of the
ladies in question were profusely dispersed
throughout. Among others the wife of Gen.
A. G. Barnes and the daughters of Gen. Jour
dan, Mr.. John p. Martin and Mr.. John A.
Nichols were thus treated.
On Monday morning, before Mr. Pearsal
opened his gallery, there was a crowd of infu-
rated citizens waiting for him, for the belief
was prevalent that the woodcuts had been
made from photographs of which he alone
possessed the negatives. The privacy of
fourteen families had been invaded and
representative of every one of those families
was on hand. There was a stormy scene
when Mr.. Pearsall arrived His assurances
that he had not connived at the publication
of the young ladies, photographs were only
accepted after his visitors had made the air
blue with threats of actions at law and assault
and battery. Gen. Barnes sent a letter
threatening to spill Mr.. Pearsalrs blood if his
daughters photograph came out in the New
York paper subsequently, and Mr.. John A.
Nichols, of Clinton avenue, was equally
sanguinary.
When Mr.. Pearsall got rid of all his visitors
he took his innings and INDUCED his ac-
cumulated wrath. The photographs had been
stolen from his reception room tables. He
summoned all his employees before MIN and
asked them whether they were willing he
should put detectives on the track of the
thief. They were eager that this should be
done and it has been. Two detectives are
working on the case now and think they have
spotted the very fellow who procured the
photographs for the newspaper. This ar
rangement once made, Mr.. Pearsall, still
breathing threats, went TO the editorial rooms
of the paper in question. He got no salts
faction at atall The editor he interviewed
said the young ladies themselves had given
their photographs. He added that another
batch of s'Brooklyn Belles'' would appear in
next Sundays issue, and the cuts were being
made Mr.. Pearsall managed TO get look
at one of the photographs. 1t was his own
chemical proof.
Business was actually suspended at the
gallery yesterday, aud to-day matters are al
most as much upset The citizens whose
daughters have thus been dragged before the
public are very indignant Mr. Nichols. Gen.
Barnes, Gen Jourdan, Mr. Martin and Mr..
Pearsall declare their intention of spending
as many thousand dollars as may be neees-
sary to detect and punish the men who stole
and aided and allotted the stealing of the
photographs

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old and ragged and gray
And bent with the chill of the winters day;
The street was wet with recent snow
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing, and waited long,
Alone uncared-for, amid the throng
or human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance OF her anxious eye.
Down the street with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom of school let out
Came the boys like flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman so old and gray,
fastened the children on their way,
Nor offered helping hand to her,
So meek, SO timid afraid to stir.
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last one of the merry troop
The gayest laddie of all the group
Re paused beside her, and whisper low,
''Tll help you cross il you wish to CO."
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and so, without hurt or harm,
He guided her trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
"She's somebody's mother, boys, you know,
For all she's old, and poor and slow;
'And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my poor mother, you understand,
''f ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away
And ''somebody's mother" bowed low her hea
In her home that night, and the prayer she sal
Was: 'sGod be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and joy!

An Annin,ated Snoc-Pto,v.

A few days ago a hunter known as 'UDcle
Bob Giddings,'' started up Slate river to in
terview den of bears known to exist on the
mountain side some distance above Cloud
City. just after passing Cloud he came up
on a trail in the snow which appeared to be
from ten to fifteen feet in depth. The trail
was as wide as though an OK had been drag
ged sideways, and the snow was pressed so
hard that pony could easily have been driv-
en- over it. Bob threw away his snow-shoes
and followed this trail, which led along the
mountain side in northerly direction.
Reaching the ruins of the bear den he found
nothing but the bones of the bears left
While he stood in blank amazement, his eye
was directed to the valley beneath, where he
saw huge serpent making its way down
Slate river, until it disappeared In fathom-
less lake near the ranch of Frank Nichols,
some three miles from here The terror
stricken man, on his return to town, said
that the snake was all of fifty feet long. It's
propelling power seemed to exist in its tail,
which streamed behind several feet.
There is an old Indian tradition about this
serpent, and an old Indian belonging to the
Uncompahgre Ute nation, in speaking about
this monstrous sea-serpent, described it as
having neck fully ten feet long, and as
large around as the body of pony, its head
the size of tepee, and eyes like sancers,
about one yard and half apart. 1t lives in
a subterranean passage, which has an en-
trance in an UNEMPLOYED part of the Dark
canyon, on the opposite side of the range.

who conceded johnson everything and was a
litical career cut short by the failure of john
sons administration. johnson, in order
not to offend Depew and his friends, nomi-
mated him for minister to Japan, but old
Commodore Vanderbilt put his foot down on
that proposition and would not hear of Depew
leaving the country. Several times he came
near to being United States senator from
New York, but his personal popularity could
not overcome the opposition which existed
toward the great corporation he is so closely
identified with. He was elected secretary of
state on the Republican ticket away back in
1868, but that was at period when the party's
nomination was equivalent to an election,
and the office was not an important one even
in war times. In those days, war governors
filled the public eye, when cast on anything
less than national events and persons.
Mr.. Depew is one of the most delightful
impromptu speakers in the country. He can
talk at momeut's notice on any subject, or
all around it. His after dinner cloquence is
something wonderfully clever, witty and
pointed; and few public dinners of import
ant societies or occasions are complete with
out speech from him. Like most witty
men, he deprecates the reputation he has
won of being funny, and wishes it under
stood that the serious and sentimental are
his strong points, which, it is needless to
add, they are not.
Algernon s. Sullivan is another illustra-
direction; but his has not been anything

A LATE telegram from Chitopa, Indian
Territory, says there is great CONSERVATION
in tat territory. The sheriff of the Chero-
kee nation with squad Of Indians, has been
taking down all wire fencing that encloses
larger tracts than fifty acres, that being the
limit allowed by act of the Cherokee council.
The sheriff confscates all wire he takes
down. The sheriff began work south of
Coffeyville and is taking down clean as he
comes east. Thousands of miles of fencing
has been removed. The Indians seem to
mean business, and evidently propose to
eject all intruders The barbarous inven-
ton of the barbed wire fence is blot on our
civilization. The constant havoc tits daily
making with human and animal life, ought
to drive it promptly out of use. Legislation
ought to be invoked to Danish this dangerous
engine of destruction from use.

WATERLOO.

A Graphic Accosnt ola Visit to the Famous
Battle Field.
Buffalouan Abroad.-The battlefield of
Waterloo as it lies to-day is an unspiring
spectacle good place to sit down and muse
on life and men and the vanity of human
things; but we had a vivacious little guide
who spared no time or musing, but engaged
us with very dramatic recital in broken,
though quite Ineligible, English of the STIR
ring things that happened on the bloody
Sunday in 1S15,when Bonaparte's brief can
die went out and the European kaleidoscope
ratified itself into a fresh combination.
can't help ympathizing with the bottom dog.
The dramatic symmetry of Napoleon's ca
reer wins us against our reason.
| went out to Waterloo with some En- glis h
men, and took solid comfort in giving them
my opinion of that Iron Duke, although we
must allow that he did this business very
Handsomely.
But that guide. I shall not soon forget him.
He made more of au impression on me than
all the books | have read on the subject of
Waterloo. He omitted nothing; he opened
his soul to US, and he suited the action to>the.
word. He gesticulated; he attitudiniZed; in
short, he fought the battle over again for US
His English was doubly English. He was
especially happy'in his ''hup, guards, had hat
'em.'' He recited this thrilling incident over
his shoulder as he led us down the two hundred
and odd steps that mount to the summit of
Mound of the Lion, and it was only by the
most extraordinary presence of mind that
| grasped the railing in time to escape fall.
The Mound of the Lion is an artificial ele-
yation which has been reared (very i'll adj
wisely, think in the midst of the field and of
its earth, thereby modifying the configura-
ton OF the landscape, so that one can not
now gain so accurate an idea of fine battle
ground as might have otherwise been OBJ
tained-unless, indeed, the loss is compen-
stated by the fact that the summit of the
mound affords a commanding view.
The tranquility Of the scene is impressive,
and one is reminded of Byron's line:
How that red rain has made the harvest grow
I never saw fairer stretch of country
hills and valleys and winding roads and shin
ing villages. Every feature of this sweet
landscape played its part in the drama of
that day. On the right is the chateau of
Hougomont, against which all day long the
French lines beat like the waves of the sea-
the key of the English position, held to the
last by the gallant Coldstream Guards,
though the house was burned over their
heads. The old brick wall around the Or
chard still stands pierced with loop-holes,
worn away by the pelting rain of muskct
balls. If you have any sort of imagination
you can stand there to-day and see the fight.
I suppose there has scarcely been a closer,
hotter bloodier battle in modern times.
The lines were posted only mile apart, and
fromthe moment of the first assault upon
Hougomont to the low, despairing cry, of the
French General: "Tout est perdu! Sauve
qui peut!'' the battle was like the straining
struggle of well-matched wrestlers.

IT is getting to be quite fashionable to
play games of base ball on the Sabbath, in
various portions in the country, and Mime
sofa is not an exception. Manifestly this is
an infraction of law, where laws exist, as is
the case in all or nearly all the Safes, to pre-
serve the sancity of the Sabbath. Recently
gang of base ball players were arrested in,
Columbus, Ohio for violating the Sabbath,
statute law, by playing their games on Sun
day. The judge held that the phrase breach
of the peace in the statues extends to all in
dictable offenses and that the arrests on Sun
day are legal. He therefore refused the
writ and remanded the prisoners to the custo-
dy of the constable. The president of the
base ball club says this is death blow to the
game in Columbus as it cannot be supported
without Sunday games. AS a retaliatory
measure the Columbus management states
that the cases against the Consolidated road
running street cars on Sunday will be prose-
cuted under the same law, and intimate that
warrants will be sworn out against the State
Journal company to stop the issue of Mon
day morning paper, as the principal part of
the work has to be done on Sunday. This
matter is assuming at last serious proper
tons. There has always been neglect in en-
forcing laws against Sabbath Dissertation. If
rigidly enforced in one direction, there will
now, no doubt, be a resolute demand to
enforce it in all.

JEFF DAVIS has show for his Mexican
pension at last. The new pension bill just
passed by the senate embraces Davis, as it
repeats section 4,716 Of the revised statutes
so far as it relates to that bill, and that is the
section that forbids pensions to those who
voluntarily engaged in rebellion. The bill
was passed, no doubt, with the direct pur-
pose of beneftting jeff Davis. There is an
itching desire on the part of many to free
him from all disabilities though he scorns to
ask such favor. The United States govern
ment, is The only one in the world where
treason is, practically, no crime, and where
traitors are rewarded instead of punished.

THE Ottawa (Canada) Duly Free Press
of a late date, has the following important
il formation in regard to a newly discov
cred source of coal supply, for the great
Northwest. Says the Free Press The ques-
ton of fuel supply is one that has caused
no little anxiety to those who are interested
in the development of our northwest terri
tory; but recent experiments with coal from
the Saskatchewan valley should have the eff
feet of setting this question at rest. The
Canadian Pacific railway company which it
goes without saying is greatly interested in
this question, recently caused comparative
test to be made of Pennsylvania and Saskat-
chewan coal, the result being overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the latter. AS the Saskat-
chewan coal fields are particularly inexhaust-
ible, and it having been decided that their
product is a tirst-class article, the question
of the northwest fuel supply may be
considered as directly settled. Our north
west prairies have now the recommendation
which the American prairies have net of be-
ing near an inexhauStible supply of coal.
