A STARTLING BALL COSTUME.
How Lady Randolph Churchill Once Star
tied Empress Eugenie.
IDetroit Evening Ncwat

eyes, know Lady Randolph Churchill,
wife of the new English Minister, WELL"
said an aristocratic member of the De-
troit bar, this morning. She was a Miss
Jerome, of New York city, one of the old
Jerome family, after whom Jerom, Park
was named. Pretty? Well, should re-
mark, and with more of the devil in her
to the square inch than in any woman
ever met. Before Napoleon III. died she
was in Paris, and, beng celebrated for
her beauty. was invited down to the En-
peror's summer palace at st. Cloud to at
tend brilliant masquerade ball. I'M
agine the horror OF Empress Eugenie
when Miss jerome ientered the reception
hall attired as Eve The imperson-
alton was exact in all its details. Fie sh-
colored tights covered her weli-shaped
limbs, and even the traditional fig-leaf
was not omitted. You can imagine the
dismay of the guests, and particularly
the Emperor He had been soliciting
the e npress for q week to got her con-
sent to inviting the young American girl.
Eugene wouldn't stand 1t at all. She in
sisted on Miss Jerome retiring. 1t was
regarded as q rich joke by the young
lady, who hadn't an idea of its impro-
pristy. Truef Why, certainly it's true.
Pll vouch personally for its truth, as
heard it from no less a parsonage than
.one of Miss Jerome's near relatives, who
was a chua of mine at Williams COL

Buffaloes are becoming extinct. I

Buffaloes are becoming extinct. The
following item may be interesting:
Some of the ranchmen at the great
west are now turning their attention to
the breeding and rearing of tame buffa-
lOes, the same as they do cattle, and
think it will prove the more profitable
of the two, as the robes are now worth
$15 to $50 each, and the steaks are
good eating while the hunch is a great
delicacy, and can probably he sold to
gourmands at high figure. There is a
herd of about 1000 now kept in what
is called the Neutral Strip. One COM
pany is paying $50 each for Buffalo
calves. BuffalOes are much harder
thln cattle, and we should suppose that
in consequence of this and their being
better also to rustic through severe
winter, it may be easier and cheaper to
breed and raise them.

The New York Tribune says: Spec
ulators have been busy since the day the
city began its decorations in honor of
Gen. Grant buying the drapCries wher-
ever they could be had and fiercely COM
peting for bargains. 1t is intimated
that on this account, more than any
other, many walls were denuded prior
to the expiration of the usual thirty
days mourning period. Those who
succeeded in making purchases had the
mourning goods refinished and placed
on sale at the auction houses.

Some of the coast negros of Africa
still worship the shark, and regard its
stomach as the road to paradise. They
offer it poultry and goats two or three
times year, and at least once a year
try to propitiate it by Offering ten year
old child. The little victim is bound to
post in the sand at low water mark,
and rs the tide rises, mingles its shrieks
and screams with those of its mother
until the ravenous fishes drag it out of
sight.

The religious editor of the Protection
Echo, propounds the following interrog-
atory: How many are prepared to
prove-up in heaven? 1t is true that
many have filed in the churches herebe-
low, but the question is, are they pre-
pared to prove up when the proper time
comes?
bob" Neff replies: 1t strikes us
that many who have filed in the church
have never made actual settlement, and
when the time comes to make final proof
it will hustle some of them to secure
witnesses. The records of heaven have
never been burned, and Receiver Saint
Peter can not be hoodwinked. Shout
ing and praying will not hold claim;
but good work and good intentions

Contingencies existing in almost every other form of investment lacking in these, and while do not pretend that they the only safe security to be had, do say emphaticaly that the1combination of as great safety, aud y if not quite twice the income obtainabe from such as would place in the same class renders them de- cdedy attractive Had they not proven satisfactory to my customers during the past twelve years my transactions in them would scarcely have reached the proportions my records disclose.
