English Vanderbilt Myths.


from inc 2olO NOTb LF3OU71fs
1t really looks as though the creation OF
myths was going on in these practical
days even more vigorously than during
the twilight OF history. A striking Illus
tration OF this is to be found in the stories
about the late MIR. Vanderbilt, which even
the most careful, staid and Unconditional
Of the English papers have been publish
ing. Here is the Spectator, for example,
the very incarnation of cautious practi-
cality and subdued literary tone, telling
its readers in an editorial article series
Of wholly Imaginative things about Mr..
Vanderbilts business career, and Gaping
the climax thus: HE gave an entertain
ment, it is said, one day last year, at which
his guests ate off gold laid upon fine lace,
the wines cost thousands and flowers
we're brought from the Southern States at
an expense OF $4,000" Also, the host on
this occasion ''was accused of giving each
journalist among his guests a thousand
dollar note tied up in his napkin, in order
that his magnificence might be reported
in detail" IT seems that this bride was
successful, for the feast ''certainly was
reported in style never before seen. the
most popular papers OF New York de-
voting many pages TO eulogiums on the
display"
After this the statement of the Sqtur-
ddy Regielo, that Mr.. VanderblIt's snap
kins were of Irish lace" seems quite tame
and commonplace, and serves TO show
how feeble are the inventive capacities Of
the Tories, compared 10 those OF the Lib
erals. It is true, the Saturday ReUtelg
introduces a certain mystery into its ac-
counts Of the deceased millionaire, by re-
marking that ''he had in NewYork thejkind
Of home which lady nOveists call 'swag-
ger.'" AS nObOdy-at least on this side
of the water seems to know what
kind of home that Is, the Saturday has
the advantage. Where our English con
tempOraries obtain their wonderful in
fOsm9tiOn, however, ia the perplexing
question. Possibly, even probably, they
are dependent for u upon the New York
correspondence OF some wild Western
journal which demands unlimited ''spice''
in its metropolitaE letters, and scorns 20
be fettered by prosaic fact. But 1t is very
funny that our London friends should fall
so easily into such traps, and lend them
selves so readily to the dissemination OF
Vanderbilt myths.

Where is the Presidents Brandy ?
From he Cleveland Leader.

From The Cleveland Leader.
There lives at San Jose one of the noted
officers Of McClellan's staff during the
late war. His name Is Gen. Henry N.
Naglee, and be is the man spoken of by
Kelley In his brochure on Mcclellan as
having gotten up the packed council OF
war for the Peninsular campaign. Naglee
has left the army and gone 10 brandy
making. His vineyards are noted on the
Pacific coast. His brandy is very choice,
and he is worth about $4,000, 900. He is a
stanch Democrat and great admrer of
President Cleveland. On the completion
of the last campaign he decided TO send
Cleveland present of brandy, but, see
ing in the papers that Cleveland was not
receiving gifts. he wrote to his friend
William DOrsheimer, of New York, and
asked him if he thought he could get a
barrel of brandy to Cleveland for
him. Dorsheimer replied that he
could, and that he should
send the brandy to him instanter, Nagee
then let it be known that he was sending
present to Cleveland. He prepared to
do the thing in style. He had barrel
made of fine oak, beautifully carved, and
bound with silver plated hoops. Engrav-
ed upon the barrel was an inscription eX-
tolling the President elect, and saying
that it was a present from Naglee to
Cleveland. Its size was 81 gallons. This
barrel was filled with the finest of Crane
brandy, very old, and OF quality worth
at least $40 a gallon. When properly
boxed, Naglee expressed it to Dorsheimer,
and then sat down with his friends and
waited reply. He expected an auto
graph letter from Cleveland, which he
might hang up in his parlor and show to
his friends. Weeks passed, and no letter
came. Months went by, and nothing
from either Cleveland or DOrsheimer.
A few weeks ago q young man
named Bell, friend of Naglee and a Mug
wump in California politics, started
East, and as he lett Naglee asked him to
call upon Cleveland and D0rsheimer and
ask the whereabouts OF his choice brandy.
1t is this young man VINO tells me the
story. He called upon Cleveland at the
White House live weeks ago, and CleVe-
land Strengthened up in astOnlshment at
his story and then burst INTO laughter,
throwing himself back in his chair and
roaring again and again. He said be had
never heard OF the brandy, and he sup
posed that IL had tickled the stomach Of
Dorsheimer and his gastrOnomic friends.
Yesterday Editor DOrsheimer appeared in
Washington, and Mr.. Bell called upon
him and asked of him the same question
he had put to the President. Dorsheimer
replied that he had sent the barrel to
Cleveland few weeks ago.

service. The department needs new blood,
and it ought TO have il as soon as posi-
BILE. The disappearance of wooden heads
should be simultaneous with the extinc-
ton of wooden ships. The present Score.
tary has really warmed to his work OF re-
organizing the department, and he pro-
poses, aside from the purely naval branch
OF the service, to make it great
and effective business establishment.
That the mead of department
spending from fifteen to thirty millions a
year should have to ask Congress for
authority to place il upon a sensible bust
ness basis seems exceedingly odd in a
practical age like this. 1t is hardly pos
sible that the requisite legislation will be
denied to the Secretary under the circum-
stances. Proofs, some OF which may be
given to the public shortly, can readily
be furnished to Congressman, ii they want
them, Of. the necessity of making the
changes asked for. But surely the Sec
retary's report ought to be enough for
them in that line just now.

There are several fine trout streams in

has become quite afishOlogist. Like all who
write or talk about fish, some OF his state

lowing sample shows: About three years
ago, farmer on Pudding river built a
fsh pond and stocked IL with yearlinQ
carp. That winter the river overlooked
the pond aud the FISH escaped, and have
since remained IN the river. Not long
since a farmer who had a field Of fine fall
grain adjoining the river. noticed that
something had been wall0wing 10 down.
There were no track OF Misunderstanding
but long. irregular, snake-like trails
leading up from the river. One night this
week the farmer curious 10 know the cause

conveniently at hand. and In the bright
MOONLIGHT stood watchful sentinel over
his field. he had not long 10 wait before
his vigil was reward d by the appearance
Of a long train Of objects that came wad-
ding up from the river into the grain.
Waiting until the intruders had Tapped
over a considerable space Of ground, the
farmer made a rush, and was almost par
alyzed 20 lind that the visitors we're carp
