Bonner, The Ledger man. is now past go,

avoided stocks but owns large amount Of
real estate, and his horses have cost him
5000 The question has arisen, what will

less other provisions are made BY his will
Notwithstanding the frequent attempts to
impose on Bonner, it Is said that he has
never been @jockeyed' in horse trade. He
pays enormous prices, but dos not allow
himself to be deceived This is duo to his
practical method
He is not only an equine amateur, but Is
also a student, and he told me that he had
100 works on the horse, all Of which he had

tails Of horse-shoeing, and premits but ono

Why Book Clerks Laugh.

You have alluded to the humorous
side of the book trade2a
ssOh, yes, and it's good broadside,
too The fun is generally fur
nished by the ridiculous mis-
takes people make in the names of
books. a lady residing on Walnut
street sent her maid here one day for
Annie Thomas novel of He Cometh
Not, She Said. but the damsel asked
for He Combeth Not His Head. The
little boy of q prominent Episeopahan
divine came III to procure for his faith
er religious book called The Hour
Which Cofneth, but he inquired for
The Hen Which Croweth.' AT the
time that Thomas Hardy rs clever novel.
A Pair of Blue Eyes, was at the height
of its popularity, we had a clerk who
was as new TO the business as he was
slow of apprehension, and when a lady
came in and said to him, very eagerly
and inquiringly, Have you : a Pair
of Blue Eyes?m he blushingly stammer
ed out, No miss, my eyes are black.
One day one of our GRAND boys brought
up from the cellar a trap containing a
large rat just as well known society
belle. wishing to look at one of
Anthony Trsllope's most popular nov
els. said to the new clerk: / want to
see What VIII He Do With It?'''
Very well miss, was the reply: If you
viii walk to the back part of the store
and look out Of the window, you viii
see him drown IT. ''-Phiia. Times.

Managers Their own costumer4
New York Sun.


aIhe days Of the big costumes. one of the
theatrical gent emen said as he stood around
in receptive and laxative mood aare
about over. There was time when the
average theatre was at the mercy OF the cos
tuner. and that was the way so many cos
tuners got into the theatrical business. The
managers offered them so much money at
last that they simply took the theatres and
ran the comic opera and spectacular COM
panies themselves. The managers have
now learned a thing or two, and they make
their own costumes at about one-sixth OF
the price they formerly paid. You can hire
coed seamstressss for 81 day, buy your
goods at wholesale, have the costumes de-
signed by man of good artistic taste, and
make them right in your own theatre.
There Is no waste, and each member OF the
company can be fitted personally. This has
been done at the Union Square theatre this
season, and will probably be done every
where next year.

Anecdote of Sam Houston.

a prominent member of the Houston,

anecdote of the great Texan: The last time
I met Gen. Sam Houston / was travelling
with him in the stage from HallettsvilIe to
Navasota. He amused me with his anec-

"But now, my young friend, l am growing

even forgiven Richardson, Of The News,
and Cushing, Of The Telegraph, and

W. Z. Curtis Queer Necklace.

Tiffany q Co. have received q novel order
for necklace for the wife OF MIR. w. E.
Curtis of the South American commission.
With the order came few dozen things
that were of brown amber color, and
might be taken for new shade OF opals.
They were in shape and appearance like
petrified human eyes.
When the old Peruvians died and were
mummfied, centuries before Pizarro's time,
the men who did the embalming had
trouble in making the face look natural be-
cause thu eyes disappeared. So they took
the eyes Of kind of fish with a long Latin
name, and used them -anstaad -. -Tha..-ayas
Of the fish were spherical, AMI the Peru
vians cut them across transversely. TIE
exposed fat section some what resem blss in
appearance the human eye. These planed
Of eyes were dried and hardened, and were
put in the mammy's eye sockets Properly
placed they gave the mummy natural air,
and there was no necessity for closing the
eyelids Mummies are plenty in Peru and
the eyes were easily obtained They are
aot pearly, but shine with dull luster like
an opal without fire. The material looks
ike fine amber.
The eyes were hard when Tiffany got them
AMI they had to be polished before they
were set. BY coincidence several Of the
mon at work on them were taken i'll, and it
was thought that their illness might be
owing to the eyes. One Of the employees at
Tiffanys said that the eyes looked very
pretty and would last as long as they were
kept dry and hard. The necklace is not yet

r11., c,,rotor1, 3o,,fu,o1

Not T.ost, Not valueless Face tG Face
with the People --Oratory.
(Ex-Secretary BOUTWELL,
see in some newspapers that the art OF
stump peaking is numbered nearly among
the lost arts; that there were great times
when Webster or Clay spoke, and also that
oratory is no longer subject about which
a young person should take thought. Ii
any of you suppose l have not been serious,
mu t now be considered in such mood.
wish to say that the art OF stump speaking
is not a lost art, it is not g. vaiueless art and
in country like this it is a very great
power, and an art which those who intend
to take part in public affairs should wisely
cultivate.
In the first place, you can never know the
public sentiment Of the community, unless
you are endowed with some sort Of clair
voyant power, unless you meet the people
and in these great assemblies, when you
look into the faces of men and women and
lay down your propositions and proceed to
make your arguments, you get, by some
mysterious process, an impression as to
what they think. No discreet public speaker,
in making peaches every thirty or forty
miles, will in fact make the same speech
with which he began. He will lose the
speech with which he began, and construct
a new one under the dictauion Of the audi.
ences before him.
He is under the influence of the people,
and comes to realize what they believe, and
he knows what opinions and arguments will
produce effect and what considerations are
valueless. In that respect the stump-speaker
has all immense advantage over the writer in
the closet or the editor of a newspaper.
Now the newspaper men will please pardon
me for saying that, while for every three
years and nine months in the quadrennial
they appear to rule, during the three months
preceding a presidential election, when the
men who take part in public affairs present
themselves before the people and pre-
sent the issues and arguments on one side
and the other, the press, omnipotent as it
is, bows itself to the mon who canvass the
country, and merely reproduce the opinions
aud arguments which the stump orators set
forth
It is difficult to state what the art of ora
tory is. Great men, from Quintillian all
along, have endeavored to explain what it
is, but it is still mystery. But we know
that there are some men, unler some cir
cumstances who, by the voice, by the man
ner and gesture, produce not only temporary,
but lasting impress ions on tho mind. hen
who possess these gifts in any country OF
civilization of the world will have power.
