Mrs. Leslie,s Husbands.


Mrs. Frank Leslie is having a good
deal Of trouble with her intended hus-
band, who calls himself the Marquis de
Leuyille. People who know him say he
is a very creditable man, intellectually
and socially. Certainly hei is y very
tine-looking gentleman, but in his dress
and manner he makes such acaricature
of himself that he is the butt Of all
New York. He wears the most out
landish clothes, and seems 10 have a
special pride in the bangs which fall
over his forehead, and which he spends
most of his time in trying 70 keep IN
piace He is said to be fair writer
and genial companion 1t IS a won
der to most people why Mrs. Leslie,
who has an abundance OF practical good
sense. does not INFORM this foreigner
that he must either act and dress Like a
man or get out. Mrs. Leslie has had
a good deal of experience in the marry
ING business, having had three hus-
bands, | believe She married the late
Frank Leslie when ne was well along in
years. When hc popped the question
to her her reply was that She would
marry him as soon as he had home to
take her TO. He was then a boarder
at one of the principal hotels The old
gentleman must have been desperately
in love with her, for he ordered an
army Of carpenters to work ut once,
and IN less than month the beautiful
home up near Saratoga was completed.
The woman, true to her word, married
the publisher. She must have unusual
executive ability, for when her husband
died his business was $50 600 in debt.
This she paid off in an incredibly short
space of time, and has now large in
come from her publications. She is
probably above 40 years old, although
She would readily pass for 80. She is
altogether too sensible a woman to
throw herself away ON Marquis. r

value OF Rapoh Lands.

Hon L. Bradford Prince says: Ranch
property improves in price rs the choice
pieces Of land grow scarce, Nearly all
the cattle men are either English OF
Scotch. The largest company in tn
country is the Prairie Cattle Company.
which is entirely composed Of Scotch
men. | know Of no German, Irish or
French that own any cattle lands. OF
course there are some Americans in the
business. Good prairie land in New
Mexico is now worth from 81 TO 81 per
acre. This is higher than ever before.
The business is very profitable the us.
ual return being 40 per cent This yeaI
has been prosperous. and the loss OF
stock has bees triling. In the north
eastern part of New Mexico the land is
nearly taken up. A great deal, how.
ever, remains, and can be secured in
other parts of the Territory In Texas
q person can secure as much land as he
desires, rs Texas oWnsils own land, and
is not divided into plats of 100 acres by
the Government. The value. ofcourse,
depends upon water facilities If one
owns n spring, or a water front, he yir-
tually controls all Of the surrounding
country. In Idaho, Montana and Wy
oming, the ranches are smaller, because
the land is owned by the Government.
1t is leased, but can not be bought. The
land laws of this country are entirely
inadequate, for the reason that 100
acres in the Territories are often of no
use at all, because Of the lack of water
supplies. The Government should lease
more than 100 acres, or, atleast, should
lease in such a way us to insure to each
settler a sufficient supply of water.
About five years ago commission was
appointed TO revise these laws. 1t pre-
sented a scheme, but nothing else has
been done. Two months ago meeting
of cattle men was held in ST. Louis, and
a revision asked for. Strong influences
are now at work, and look for some
change before long.N-N y CONNER

One About a Donkey.
Cassell S Magazine

With the peasaniry of Spain the
donkey is pettea favorite, almost an
inmate of the household. The women
and children OF the family feed him
from their hands, and talk caressingly
To him. A peasant had for many
years carried milk into the market OF
Madrid to supply a set of customers.
Every mernipg he and his donkey
with panniers well loaded trudged
their accustomed round. One morn
ing, when he was attacked by sudden
illness and had no one to send with
his milk, ke decided to trust the donkey
to go alone The pauniers were ac-
cordingly filled with canisters Of milk,
and the priest of the village wrote a
request to customers to measure their
own milk and sen d back the empty
vessels. The donkey was instructed,
and set off with his load. The door
bells in Spain have rope hanging
outside the house, to which is append
I'd wooden handle or the hoof of
some animal. The donkey stopped
before the house of every customer,
and, after waiting what he deemed a
sufficient time he, he pulled the rope
with his mouth. When he had gone
the entire round he trotted home with
the empty canlsters. He continued to
do this for several days, and never
missed a customer.

Distribution of the Sense of Taste

Taste. however, is not equally dis
tributed over the whole surface of the
tongue alike. There are three distinct
regions or tracts, each of which has to
perform its own special Office and func-
ton. The tip of the tongue is concern
ed mainly with pungent and acrid
tastes; the middle portion is sensitive
chiefly to sweets and bitters; while the
back or lower portion confines itself all
most entirely to the fayors OF roast
meats, butter, oils, and other rich or
fatty substances. There are very good
reasons for this subdivision of faculties
in the tongue, the object being, as it
were, to make each piece Of food under
20 three separate examinations Qlke
"smalls. mods, and greats at
Oxford. which must be successfully
passed before it is admitted into full
participation in the human economy.
The first examination, rs we shall
shortly see, gets rid at once of sub
stances which would be actively and inn
mediateV destructive to the very It's
sues Of the mouth and body; the see
ond discriminates between poisonous
and chemically harmless food-stutfs;
and the third merely decides the minor
question whether the particular food is
likely to prove then and there whole
some or mdigestible to the particular
person. The sense of taste proceeds,
in fact, upon the principle of gradual
selection and elimination; it refuses
first what is positively destructive, next
what is more remotely deleterious, and
finally what is only undesirable or over
luscious - Grant Alien, IN Popular Sci
ence H0uttlY tor FebrRGry.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 90!


LONDON, Feb 1S.-A document
published purporting 20 have 1sen
written by an Emissary Of the
Mahdi residing in England says,
in effect that the idea Of
peace is agreeable to Mabdi
provided it will be an advantage to
Mussulmen. Mahdi considers HIM
self bound to follow IN the foot steps
of Mahomet, who frequently made
treaties Of peace with christians and
other infdels. The document warns
England not to compel general
Moslem rising. ~f'
LONDON, Feb. rs Great anxiety is
felt at the war office about Col. Bull
er's force at Gubat. Mabdi's relSforce-
ments which were sent 10 Metemneh
will increase the force there to 1000
men. The rebels have ten long range
guns; Col. Butler has no guns at all.
Gladstone upon the reassemblng of
parliament to morrow, will speak in
defense @fthe government, and more
especially in regard to the Soudan
campaign.
LONDON, Feb 49, Advices from
Abuklea, dated The evening Of the
18Th, state that Gen Butler has an
nounced his attention To evacuate his
position near Gubaia and Withdraw
his whole force 10 Abuklea, which is
a better strategic position. After
rendering Gordon's two steamers use
less by removing the machinery, the
whole force started, on the morning
of the 14th instant, across the desert,
and arrived at Abuklea the next day
without firing a shot They preferred
walking to camel riding.
The reason for the abandonment OF
Gubat was the advance made by the
Mahdi with 5000 men from Omduran
toward Gubat, and retreat was or
dered when the main body of Arabs
was thirty miles off, but an advance
guard of 8 900 men with five caHnon
was within seven miles Of the British
lines. Gen. Butler had less than 2, 600

The New York beau usually finds, on
inquiry, after the theatre or opera is
over, that his belle has big midnight
appetite, This physical condition is
not so much the result of the lapsing
hours since her last regular meal IS that
she then did not permit herself to eat
all she could hold Knowing very well
the discomfort Of sitting for long ev-
ening in a corsage additionally tight
ened by a hearty dinner, shefasts rather
than submit to a worse annoyance. In
the nearest restaurant to the play house,
however, she encompasses more than
her adjusted corset would allow her to
hold. How is that? Observe that on
taking Il seat at the table she Stimulates
a shiver and remarks that she will keep
on her cloak. Pretty soon, when the
plate of fried oysters and bottle of ale
are set before her, the fair hands disap-
pear under the ample wrap. There are
surface indications Of fumhling in the
region of her waist She signs, but
is expressive Of relief instead of sor
and the rapt escort is a little sho'
by the suddenly complacent, eyen,
racious, contemplation Of the fct.
What has she doneP a pull at strio
has looscned all the stays in her corset,
and an unbuttonng of her dress has
freed her girth from all restrictions
She will now easily accommodatewhat-
ever She chooses to swallow, and the
wrap viii hide the matter safely until
she disappears from the sight OF the
beau into her own home.

a lady in Plymouth county, Mass,
has in her. possession relic which is
interesting, not only for its antiquity
but for the brave act of which it is
a memorial. 1t is pewter plate that
was part of the tent furniture OF
Gen. James Wolfe, who fell at Que
bee, upon which, it is asserted, he ate
his last meal. 1t belonged to Seth
Hatch, Of Pembroke. He was out in
the French war, and, says a writer,
"cons m anded a supply ship, and at
one time ran the blockade of the st.
Lawrence and furnished supplies to
General Wolfe and his army. For
this he was publicly thanked by the
general, and after the battle of Que
bee he was presented with some artlcle
of the generals tent furniture. "

Brave Boys are They,

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The first battal-
lion OF Cold Stream Guards $40 in
number; started today for Suakim
They left Wellington barracks amid
pathetic scenes Of leave to day. Rela.
tives and friends assembled in force
TO bid the departing soldiers farewell
Many affecting episodes occurred.
Mothers hung round the necks Of sons,
wives clung to husbands, and chill
dren said goodbye TO fathers between
sobs. Many men brushed tears away
as they babe their sons or brothers a
hearty farewell. The guards marched
with difficulty through the throngs
of women, children and friends
to Westminster bridge, where
they took a steamer for GraYssend.
AS they embarked, the band struck up
"Auld Lang Syne" and followed with
Home, Sweet Home" The steamer
moved away from the pier among
cheers. At Gravesend the guards EN-
barked for Suakim.
The entire route from the barracks
to the bridge and the Thames en-
bankment were crowded wilh people,
who cheered in an enthusiastic man
ner as the men passed by. The men
presented a splendid appearance and
went away in the best of spirits.
A detachment Of hussars left Alder
shot to-day for Portsmouth, where
they embark for Egypt.
The steamer Tyne sailed to-day
with reinforcements aud horses for

A child with Two tongues is said to
be living at Yonkers, N. Y. The
second tongue has grown from the
root and oh top of the first. The
mother hrst noticed it when the child
was three days old. 1t was then quite
small, but it is now nearly as large as
the real tongue. The interior part
of the upper tongue looks natural.
but the posterior part is CONSTRUCTED
and round, giving the unnatural
growth a pear shape. The child, now
two years old, has never experienced
any difficulty in swallowing its food
or in breathing, looks natural in
every other way, and has always been
healthy.

This is the difference between Jer-
sey and Attorney cows: The former
has been kept pure bred on the Chan
mel island Of that name for a long
time; no foreign cattle have been per-
mitted to DO imported into Jersey for
over a hundred years. In the island
of Alderney importations of other
cattle have ever been permitted. The
Attorneys have not been kept pure,
but are made up mainly of a cross of
the Jerseys end Guernseys on their
original stock. They are not so fine
as either of these two latter breeds,
have now become and are more I'm
even in their makeup The term Al
deruey was applied by mistake, by the
English, to Jersey cows when they
first began to import them many years
ago, but it is not used now. each breed
being distinctly classed by itself.
