A Draft on the Russian Gar.

A Seneca (Kan.) correspondent,
writing to the Kansas City Times. says:
The anecdote, LET Smith Walk" told
by ii. H. Hopore, reminded your cor
respondent of Il story told of this gen
tleman among his intimate friends, and
think it has never been published be-
tore. The story is told by John C.
Christian, a lawyer of Chicago, who
transacted the major portion of Mr..
Honore's legal business during the
dark days of 1873. Mr.. Christian came
into some notoriety ut the prohibition
convention at Pittsburg last year by
nominating John Peter ST. JOHN Cor the
presidency The story as related is
about as follows:
Prior to the panic of 1873 Mr.. Honore
iIeid about 50, 900, 900 or $4,000, 900 OF
Chicago property on which he owed
about $1,000 600, and no man in Chica-
go had better credit He carried a
bank account in st. Louis, where he
also had the confidence of wealthy
capitalists. During the squeeze Of 1878,
and near the first of the year, he was
in st. Louis, and was in conversation
with the president of tie bank with
which he did business.
''Mr. Honore," said the banker, your
account is overdrawn here some 81
500, and as it is near the first of the
year We would be exceedingly Obliged
if you would balance the same to-day"
at is impossible, and out of the
question for me to do it to-day, and the
probabilities are that it will be
many more days before can, returned
Mr.. Honore.
We'll" says the banker, "can't you
give note, draw draft, do some
thing just so the book-keeper can bal
ance the boohs?"
Draw draft! Who the ID would
draw draft on? might as well tel
egraph the car of Russia for funds as
to draw draft"
well, Mr.. Honore, draw draft on
the czar; that will square the books,
and that's the main thing just now"
SO after some conversation sight
draft for the amount was regularly
drawn and started on its mission and
the proper credit given Mr.. Honore.
The draft passed through many bank
ing firms in this and the old country,
and by the time it reached the car had
many blue ribbons and seals belonging
to the different institutions through
which it passed
1t was presented to the ear, through
one OF his agents, VINO desired instruc-
tons what 10 do with it. The car
looked il over, but could not under
stand how he came TO owe money to
Mr. Honore, but as every hing appeared
REGULAR he inStructed that il be maid
but told his secretary 10 inform Mr..
Honore the next time he drew a draft
to send an itemized bill.

Animals in Epping Forest.

The only wild fallow deer in En-
gland are those which are native TO
Epping forest, although at one time
they were plentiful enough in other
parts of the country. They are of
dark-brown color, small in size, and
with horns less branched than other
varieties. They are exceedingly shy,
and one may walk the forest for hours
without catching sight of them. The
red deer. which are larger, bolder, and
far Handsome than their fallow breth-
rem are still occasionally to be met
with in the less frequented parts of the
forest. The roedeer, which became
extinct in England before the present
century, have recently been again in
troduced into this great London play
ground, and although personally I
have not been lucky enough TO see
specimen of this Old English variety,
one of the verderers assures me that
they are increasing and take kindly to
their new quarters. There are plenty
of foxes in that part of the forest
known as Monk wood, and hares and
rabbits run riot in peaceful security all
over the place, for be it known none
brit the keepers are allowed to shoot
any living thing in Epping forest, and
they are only allowed to bring down
the hawks and jays who otherwise
would play sad havoc among the feath-
cred songsters. The fierce and blood
thirsty stoats. as also weasels and
squirrels, are frequently to be seen in
the fern-clad dells and shady forest
drives. Polecats, badgers, and mar
tens, too, are now and again encoun-
tered, hedgehogs and shrews are plen-
tiful. and there are few harmless
snakes, while, although the dreaded
viper is known to be indigenous to the
district, it is happily becoming exceed
ingly rare.
So favored is this district by the
feathered tribe that l despair of giving
the names of onc-half of the song
birds having their home in the forest
The thrush, the blackbir the linnet,
and the robin may not, perhaps, in
aptly be styled the leaders of the for
est choir. Their early morning chant
aud evening Vesper is one of the most
delightful features of this charming
slice of English wood. Soon after day
break, when few save the keepers, the
proyerblal early worms, and the ever
punctual sun have risen the forest me-
lody begins. The sharp, saucy note of
the chaffinch is heard from the top
most branches of the silvery moss
ringed birch; the bullfnch pipes his
lay cheerily as he sits hidden amid the
sylvan glories of the sturdy oak; from
out the dark recesses of the tapering
fir the goldtinch twitters and whistles
his greeting to the newborn day; from
high above, the rich, mellow throat
song of the lark falls earthward, while
the metallic .clut-clut" of the cruel
hawfinch affords the one discordant
note in the blithe charms of feathered
minstrelsy.- san francisco Chr0H-
