of supervisors, and his name also figures on
the records of the superintendent of the
poor, who talked once or twice Of selling
him. Thomas Mccormick, keeper of the
almshouse, says that when Major Barnett,
superintendent of the poor, proposed to
sell him, number of citizens dubbed to-
gether and agreed to purchase him and
pay for his keeping rather than allow him
to be disposed Of He had done good ser
vice to the county, and it was finally de-
cided to pension him. Since that time he
has done no more work than was necessary
to keep him in condition. In this life of
Incidence he will probably continue until
his demise, of which there is no immediate
symptom. Mr. Mccormick knows of the
animal having been on the farm for twelve
years, and his predecessor as keeper, Mr..
Miller told him that he had watched Old
Turk for twelve years previous to this,
knowing him to be at least ten years old
when he came to the poor farm. This
would make him at least AZ years of age.
Mr.. Robinson, who says several Snowman
have tried to purchase him, is writing a
history of the animal for inclosure in the
box to be opened at Staten Islands tri-
centennial in 1888. Mr.. Robinson offered
to pay for set of false teeth for Old Turk,
but no one could make cast for the sue
ton plate, and so Old Turk has to feed on

burned last winter. Old Turk managed to
make his escape unassisted and uninjured.

Considering that it is but little over half
a century since the first locomotive drew
train in this country, the growth of the
railroad system to its present proportions is
as striking as anything in our national de-
velopment. There is abundant food for
thought in the reflection that thousand
corporations now exist, which have in their
service an army approaching half million
men, and which derive an income of $134,-
100000 from the public every year

The Oldest Horse in America.
From the New York Times.


Old Turk, the equine pensioner OF Rlch-
mond county, still lives and occupies a
stall in the barn at Staten Islands aims
house He is the oldest horse in New
York state, or in America in all probability
as his age can be reliably fixed at at forty
nine years, and Ex-COunty Treasurer
James r. Robinson, now seventy three
years old, thinks he can reliably trace him
back for forty-fve years. The animal is
quite a curiosity, particularly to veterl-
narians who are anxious to see how long
the veteran will live, and thus settle the
mooted question of equine longevity. Orig

is now snow white He is tOOthless and

years ago, when he was "crack" trotter,
owned he believed, by Capt. Jacob H. Van
derbilt, and known as Guy Scuytis. He
was one of the wonders of the old New
Dorp race course, and was purchased by
Vanderbilt from Judge Clausen, who lived
on the old Richmond road near New-DOrp
lane A proposition made some years ago
to sell Old Turk and thus save ex-
pense to the county, created quite SEN

The IndOlent Rich.

Lady Manners who belongs to the noble
family of which the Duke of Richmond
and Gordon is its present head, is authority
for some statements about the English aris-
tocracy that may be applied in some meas
ure to the wealthy of our own country. In
the National Magazine she says she finds
the rich growing more extravagant, the
men more effeminate, and the women more
outrageous in their habits every day. She
is particularly hard on the members of her
own sex, who, she says, lie in bed till after
midday, drink wine before IL a. M, eat
twice as much as is good for them, smoke
cigarettes and often cigars, and sit up puff
ing tobacco and slipping strong waters until
the small hours of the morning. She fur
ther says many ladies spend $4,000 year
in dress. Flowers for ball often cost as
much as $4,000, and while the poor are
starving all over London, the rich appear
to be mainly intent on devising rev
schemes of lavish expenditure.

Fish Begin to Bite.

There were eight or ten men in saloon
near the Eastern Hay Market yesterday
morning, when dried-up little old man
entered and edged his way Up to the stoye
without saying word to anybody. Those
who gave him the second look wondered
why the winter winds had not blown him
into Hudson's bay. In about ten min
utes second stranger entered, but he wa
broad shouldered and fat and talkative.
and he was scarcely inside before he called

gents, whatll you take? Walk right up

All walked up to the bar and took some

How do you do it?" asked the little
old man as he wiped off his chin.

''Of course. / amt going to peel off my

The big man stood back and took a long
squint and replied:
"Feller sinner l reckon you'll pull down
AS pounds"
The crowd laughed derisively, and one
man said:
IF he weighs 145 pounds then / weigh

He'll do better" unused the man. II say
he'll pull down 147."
"Bosh. he won't show over 100"
The fat man laid down a five dollar bill,
and it was covered in York minute. Then
the whole crowd walked down to the
butchers and the dried-up man mounted
the scales.
Just 14S to hair !" said the butcher
There was wondering and wailing and
cussing, but the weight was there and the
stakes were passed over. Ten minutes
after the dried-up man and the fat man
had left the place boy came in and said \:

they were strapping thirty pounds of lead
and iron on him, and l thought they were
going to drown him."

A Deceptive Sense.

In New York seeing does not always ap-
pear to be necessary qualification of wit
nesses in courts of justice. A few days
ago careless driver ran over a mother and
child, injuring the one and killing the
other At the trial two blind men were
brought in as witnesses. They testified
that they heard the rush of the team,
heard the cry of the child, and were told
that it had been killed and the mother
hurt Their testimony convicted the
driver 1t is fact that we are more often
deceived by the sense of sight than any
other of the recognized four, and also that
seeing often prejudices the judgment of
the other senses to such degree that
some of the most distinguished persons
of our times have become dupes to its
power, and have owned in sorrow and
humiliation that even they could not be-
live the evidences of their own senses, by
which they simply acknowledged that
their eyes had deceived them. 1t is
great mistake to always make seeing
synonym of believing. The one who does
so will often find himself the victim of
self-delusion, besides an innocent cause of
misleading others. Don't believe all you
think You see.

Men who were bowed to-danced with

But thro' the seasons programmes
The single letter G,
Is written over and over
How much it means to me!
Men and names are forgotten
Gay partners by the score.
But the letter G, and the writer,
Are remembered forevermore.
Meetings under the gaslight,
A bow and a passionate glance;
Smiles that are set to music,
A hand-clasp in the dance;
Nights that are full of glory,
Whispered vows in the waltz;
Passion and pain and parting
And there the measure halts.
All each life has its programme
With its mystic letter q,
And to all its inner secrets
That letter is the key.
Titles and men are forgotten
The famous and the brave
But that one silent letter stands
Like tombstone by grave.

Diving for Fresh Water.

One of the hottest regions of the earth is
along the Persian gulf, where little or no
rain falls. At Bahrin the arid shore has no
fresh water, yet comparatively numerous
population contrives to live there, thanks
to the copious springs which burst forth
from the bottom of the sea. The fresh wa
ter is got by diving. The diver, sitting in
his boat, winds great gOatskin bag around
his left arm, the hand grasping its mouth (;
then he takes in his hand heavy stone, to
which is attached strong line, and, thus
equipped, he plunges in andquickly reaches
the bottom. Instantly opening the bag
over the strong jet OF fresh water, he springs
up the ascending current, at theaame time
closing the bag, and is helpe~Qp board.
The stone is then hauled up and the diver,
after taking breath, plunges in again. The
source of these copious submarine springs
is thought to be in the green hills of Os-
man, some 500 or 600 miles distant.

Agencies of Transportation.

The vast proportions which the railroad

were never so clearly set forth as in the
volume just issued from the census bureau
on the agencies of transportion. No coun-
try ever collected so comprehensive a mass
of statistics on this subject, and the more
important results OF this investigation
merit careful attention.
There are scheduled 1,017 railroad COM

cash and other assets to $5,65o, ,914,loo.
