ESTATE I OF MARIE LOUISE LATIoLAEs.
Connecticut western news., 1885-05-13
The Late Commodore Garrison.

The Commodore had some peculiar aversions. He did not like man who wore red cravat, or one who parted bis hair or his name in the middle.
 At the United States Hotel, in Sar- atoga, the Commodore was prominent figure. Although occupying cottage, he did not care to dine in private like the other cottagers, but invariably ate at the table d'hote, while more preten- tious people of less means dined in pri- vate. With his family he occupied Q table in the center of the long dining room, where his age and imposing presence made him the observed of all observers.
 The Commodore was man of fine social qualities, good story teller, an entertaining conversationalist. He won many firm and devoted friends, and kept them. He was conspicuous figure in business and club circles. His tall form, long white hair, Roman nose, and well-cut features made him well known. In private life he was plain and unosten- tatious. His son and his daughter Mrs. Van Auken, lived in Fifth avenue, New York. When the old Commodore was asked why he lived in his modest Park avenue home, he replied: 'T like the street because it is out of the way. I love to be quiet and live in quiet neighborhood."
 The Commodore, like the late Com modore Vanderbilt, was a famous card player. His propensity for blufing was well known. He has been known tc put S10, 900 on two aces. When it wat reported that he was to be married some of his old friends chaffed him on tho affair. "Gentlemen, he said, "hav, you ever heard of the man who offered S10O, ,000 for a glass of water just befor' he was hanged? think that man wa sensible person"

Where the Fashions Never Change.

aCoreans have a national costume, which does not change its fashion with every year, and which is worn by all classes, the only difference being in the quality of tho material used. A ma- iority of the fourth class dress in white. simply because cotton of that color Is cheaper than any other stuff, but dark colors prevail among those who oan afford them. The high officials at court wear robes of peculiar cut on state occa- sions, with different insignia of rank, and hats that vary from those in general use while the Kiug dresses in gorgeous brocades, wears the embroidered emblem of royalty upon his breasb and upon his head a winged hat that can be worn by him alone. Hats, by the way, arc a prerogative of married men, and youths and bachelors must always go bare headed.
 rrhere are no public means of con Veyance. and 80 the poorer folk travel on foot, while tho wealthy are transported. as rule in sedan chairs, although the gentlemen occasionally go on horseback. Commercial transportation in the imme- diate neighborhood of tho capital is to a small extent, done in unoouth, heavy carts, but almost all tho traffic of tho country depends upon pack animals, horses being employed to some extont, but to a vastly greater degree bulls and COWS that arc trained for the purpose. The horses, or more proper ponies, aro of a puny, miserable breed, but the cat tie are of a very superior order. They are highly bred and very handsome, looking very much like our best Dur ham stock, and are peculiarly gentle in disposition, even the bulls being thor. oughly traotablo. Although there is an immense number of cattle in the country and beef is universally eaten, 1t Is a cu' rious fact that milk is never used aa ar article oi diet, and our SO employing 4 was a source of unoeasing astonirhmon to the natives"

THE ENVY OF THE FORCE .
Cleveland Policeman who Patrols his
 Beat Fnst Asleep.

The Cleveland, Ohio, Leader says: The police force possesses a treasure in the person of patrolman who, it is solemnly averred, sometimes paces his beat while fast asleep. The man is now doing duty in the Second Precinct. ''Some years ago." said the narrator, "I was roundsman in the precinct which numbered among its men the walking sleeper. At first was 10th to believe that any man could accomplish such a feat, but thorough tests at last brought about my conviction. Many time I have followed him, and know it to be 8 fact. He would fold his hands behind his back, and with his head bowed on his bosom move along the street with a slow, unsteady tread, fast asleep. Oc- casionally he would try door with 8 quick, nervous motion, and perhaps was awake for the instant, but he would im- mediately move on and resume his slumbers. But he would never admit his guilt. If one approached him quiet. ly from behind and tapped him vigor- ously on the shoulder, he would turn and face the disturber of his sleep in an inquiring sort of way.
 "'Have you been asleep again, John ? have asked after awakening him in this way.
 "No, I vas only tinking,' he would say, about how high that man over there is.'
 "Another time his reply was: T was wondering how it comes there is a light over there in that building tonight. I never saw one there before The light was in hospital, and probably was to be seen there every evening""
 'But would he not wander from his beat ?" was asked.
 "I never knew of but one instance of that kind" was the reply. Perhaps he awoke at intervals, but he generally managed to turn a corner without trouble. His greatest difficulty was due to the fact that he frequently collided with open gates. have seen him do this a number of times. On one occa- sion he was met by Sergeant at Min nesota street, while his beat ended at Sterling avenue, nearly a mile distant. He had probably been dreaming, and recited yarn about having followed a woman who had before his very eyes changed into a goose. The woman subsequently, developed into flock of geese, and another transformation was in progress when the interruption by his superior officer occurred. It is the greatest wonder in the world that he never walked into an open cellarway. Now I suppose if we brought such a man before the Police Board we would be laughed at"
 An old and efficient officer stated that on sultry summer nights a man may walk short distance while asleep, but the one just mentioned stands unrivaled as the only one who could patrol his beat while in that condition.
