ROBERT BONNER.

Robert Bonner, of Ledger fame, the
publisher of Fanny Ferns writings and
the owner of so many noted horses, is by
no means as young as he was once. Mr..
Bonner is not handsome mamie never
was. If anything he is directly the
reverse of handsome, but he has made
the name of Robert Bonner and The New
York Ledger known the underworld over.
He is showing his age now. His step is
slower, the auburn hair is thinned out,
his eyes look dimly out from deep
wrinkles, his head is bent forward, his
whole figure thick set and clumsy, where
formerly it was rather on the dapper
order, with mettle and spring enough for
a dozen men. The Ledger property is a
bonanza, and Mr.. Bonner's wealth apart
from that is immense.
On the shady side of life these people
that the world has known of for fifty years
or more will soon drop away. Few have
led such busy lives as Mr.. Bonner, or
done more to bring talent to the front in
literature. He was the good genius OF
Fanny Fern and of many others who
were the ''new brooms" that swept things
clean at that period Many live to point
to the publisher of The Ledger as their
salvation from want, their help in time of
sore needs and the handspring of final
success. 1t is said that man who loves
horses always possesses a kind heart and
liberal nature There is no discounting
Mr.. Bonner's love of horses. Flora Tenn
pie and many others were his special
prides and loves in horsefesh, and Maud
S. now holds the first place in his stables.

PAST THEIR PRIME.
celebrities Who show Signs of Old
Age-COnkling, Beecher, Mayo
And Bonner.

roscoe Conkllng passed group OF
politicians in front of the Fifth Avenue
hotel a few days ago, and note was made
OF the changes time and age are surely
making with the great lawyer and states
man. He walked slowly, partially from
the pompous manner of the man, but a
degree of feebleness was noted in the
legs. His massive shoulders are round
ing out and the fingers of time have got
a decided clutch on the color of his
whiskers and hair. Deep lines cut their
ugliness around his eyes and burrows are
severely drawn around his mouth. His
dress is still marked for expense and fit,
but the emphasis of his former brusque,
businesslike manner seems to be growing
tired. Few men now raise their hats as
they used to when he passed them. New
York city is the best place in the world
for being idolized and loved with
vengeance" for while, and being as
suddenly left when one little dreams of
it. Surface interests, surface fidelity,
surface friends, are all one may look for
in the precious New York public.
HENRY WARD BEECHER.
Trembling hands are those the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher uses to turn over
the hymn book and the Bible. The noted
orator of the Plymouth pulpit is aging
rapidly, and he makes the most Juvenile
effort at throwing it off ever seen among
men. His hair is as white as snow, his
face is as red as a boiled lobster, his neck
is thick and Ioose-skinned and his trem-
bling body bestrays that his years are in
firm and fast falling into the yellow
leaf" Mr.. Beecher does not wear his age
with dignity. His assumption of boyish
manners and attempts at humor are sadly
pointless and undigniied He wiggles
about on his legs when trying to appear
young and destroys the very honor of his
years. The Beecher before the trial and
the Beecher of to-day are vastly different
in appearance and manner
FRANK MAYO.
OFF the stage, away from the kindly de-
lusive flicker of electric light, the good,
time-honored countenance of Frank MAYO
looks old. The same flood of quick brain
energy CLEANS in his handsome eyes, but
the youth and taut manliness of the
heroic actor is yielding to the waste of
vitality. The disposition to sociability is
another noticeable want in Mr.. Mayo that
was never there before. Like Ned Buck
ley, Harry Edwards and others he is
headed for the sunset and autumn of life
and the springs and summers are far be-
hind him. Mr.. Mayo is a great theatrical
attraction in New York city What an
old friend may see off the stage in his
growing old is not at all discernable in
his acting. As Davy Crockett he holds
a place in the history of the American
STAGE that will live whom ha hos laid off
his mortal costume

Some time since blind gentle
man, well known in the north of
England, went for a walk OF several
miles, accompanied by his dog. He
knew the road so well that be did
not strap up the dog, but let Il run
loose. He had gone nearly i've
miles on his way, and was crossing
some fields by footpath, when
his dog gave o peculiar whine in
front OF him. He was about to
climb stile when another whine
was heard. This startled him and
he crossed the stiie as carefully as
he could, feeling every step. Just
as he got over the stile, the dog gave
a louder whine of alarm, placed his
foreleet on his breast, and held him
fast against the stile. He tried to
push the dog aside, but it would
not let him proceed. The strap
was then put around his neck, and
the dog at once led his master
by a roundabout way, quite out of
the ordinary path. IL appeared
that part of the footpath which led
past a stream ha1 been entirely
washed away by a food, so that,
had the gentleman continued in the
old path he must have met with a
most serious accident.

The Discovery of Coffee.

Toward the middle of the fifteenth
century a poor Arab was travelling
through Abysinia, and finding him
self very weak and weary from ia
tigue, he stopped near agrove. Then,
being in want of fuel to cook his rice
he cut down a tree covered with
dead berries. The meal being cook
ed and eaten, the traveller discover
ed that the bali burned berries were
very fragrant. He collected a num-
her of these, and on crushing them
with stone he found their aroma
increased to a great extent. While
wondering at this he accidentally
let fall the substance in can which
contained a small supply of water.
Lo, what a miracle The almost
putrid liquid was instantly purified.
He brought it to his lips it was
agreeable, and in few moments af-
ter the traveller had so far recovered
his strength and energy as to be
able to resume his Journey. The
lucky Arab gathered as MANY Of the
berries as he could carry, and hav-
ing arrived at Arden, In Arabia he
informed the Mufti of his discovery.
The worthy divine was an inveterate
opium smoker, who had been suf-
fering for years from the influence of
the poisonous drug. He tried an in
fusion of the berries, and was so de.
lighted with the recovery of his own
vigor that in gratitude to the tree he
called it 'cabnah', which in Arabic
means force And this is the way
coffee was discovered.

Fun of Helping a Pretty Girl.

May be man feels happy and
proud and fattered and envied and
blessed among men, says the Bur-
lington "Hawkeye," when he sees a
pretty girl trying TO raise the win
dow of railway car and jumped up
and gets ahead of the other boys,
and says: ALLOW me?" Oh, SO
courteously, and she says: "Oh, if
you please I; / would be so glad, ="
and the other male passengers turn
green with envy, and he leans over
on the back of the seat and tackles
the window in a knowing way with
one hand, if peradventure he may
toss it fairly with simple turn of
the wrist; hut it kind OF holds on
and be takes hold with both hands,
but it sort of doesn't go to any alarm
ing extent, and he pounds it with
his first, but it only seems to settle
"a ieetle closer into place" and then
be comes around and she gets out OF
the seat to give him a fair chance
and he grapples that window and
bows up his back and tugs and pulls
and sweats and grunts and strains.
and his hat falls off and his suspen-
der buttons fetch loose and his waist
coat buckle parts and his face gets
red, and his feet slip. and people
laugh, and an irreverent young man
in the remote seat grunts and groans
every time he lifts and cries "Now,
then; altogether J" as if in mockery
and bursts his collar button and the
pretty young lady, vexed at being SO
conspicuous, says in her iciest man.
ner. "Oh, never mind. thank you !;
it don't make any difference" and
calmly goes and sits down in anoth-
er seat, and that wearied man gath
ers himself together and reads a
book upside down-oh, doesn't he
feel just good. Maybe but don't be
fool enough to extend any sympa-
thy. He doesn't need it.

An Iowa Lynching.

OTrUMwA, Ia, December 3d.
Pleasant Anderson was hung by
eight masked men last night near
the town of Blakesburg, in this coun-
ty, fifteen miles west of here. The
causes which led to the lynching are
as follows: In November, 1882, near
Blakesburg. Chris McAllister was
murdered at his residence. A few
months thereafter, Pleasant Ander-
son was arrested for the murder and
finally was tried one year ago at
0skaloosa, the trial lasting two
weeks. There was strong array of
circumstantial evidence. The convic-
ton prevailed a, Blakesburg that be
was guilty. Bad feeling prevailed.
and last night was seized at the house
of bis father-iD-law, taken in sled
to a school-house, mock trial was
had before a jury OF eight men and
by them he was sentenced to be
hung. Nearly a hundred persons
had gathered at the school-house,
among whom Anderson seemed to
have no friends, and at about 1920
last night thev took him TO the scene
of the murder of McAllister and
hung him to the limb of cotton
wood tree. He protested his inno-
cence to the last. The body was
left hanging for over two hours, and
was finally taken down, by the order
of a magistrate who went to the
scene OF the tragedy, and a coroner
sent for.

A Fight With n Wildcat.

NEWARK. \. j., Jan 2.-Bernard
Casey, OF Madison, had rather too
lively experience while hunting on
the mountains few miles from Ber-
nardsville on Wednesday. He was
accompanied by dog, and had
been tracking rabbits for some time
when he noticed large track in the
snow which was unknown to him
He determined TO follow it up, the
dog taking the scent which was a
fresh one, and running some dis
tance ahead After going two miles
or more the dog returned to his mas
ter, showing signs of fear. but Casey
determined to proceed. He reached
a heap of brush piled against large
rock, when an immense wildcat
emitted a yowl and sprang at the
dog, which was crouching in fear at
the feet of the hunter.
Before Casey could fire the animal
had reached the dog and while the
man hesitated whether to retreat or
not, the wildcat ripped the dog to
death, tearing a large hole in its side
Casey then fired one load at the an
imal, which turned Immediately and
springing at the hunters legs, began
clawing his trousers. Lowering the
muzzle of the gun, the cat grasped
il quickly in his mouth, and at that
moment Casey fired, killing him in
stantly.
Mr.. Casey's pantaloons were torn
into shreds, and his limbs were ter
ribly lacerated, the tough leather
bootlegs only serving as partial
protection from the sharp claws of
the beast. The man managed to
drag the animal half a mile to the
nearest house, where the wounds in
the hunters legs were dressed.

The Temper.

If people generally knew what an
advantage to them it was to be cheer
ful, there would be fewer sour faces
in the world and infinitely less i'll
temper. A man never gains any
thing by exhibiting his annoyance
in his face, much less by bursting
into passion. AZ it is neither man
ly nor wise to yield like child
pettishly TO every cross, SO it is
alike foolish and absurd to allow
feelings of anger to deprive us of
self-conJrol. There never was a
man in any controversy who ever
lost his temper who did not come
near losing his cause in conse-
quence, Acquaintance shun men
of proverbially i'll temper; friends
drop away from them; even wives
and children gradually learn to
fear them more than love. Thous-
ands owe their want of success
in life to neglecting the control of
their temper. Nor have they the
excuse that it is an infrmity; for
Washington, though naturally of a
most passionate disposition, disci-
plined himself until he passed for
a person utterly impassive. No
man who neglects his temper can
be happy any more than he can
make those around him happy.
Good temper is a jewel beyond price.
Bad temper is curse to the possess
or and to society.

That the rich are growing richer
and the poor poorer is the exact re-
verse of the truth. The aggregation
of vast individual wealth in the
midst OF general poverty is the char
acteristic. not, indeed, of barbarism,
for barbarians, chiefs and people,
are all alike, miserably poor, but of
a low or arrested civilization, like
that of ancient Egypt and modern
India. Enormous places aud tenn
pies, vast public monuments like
the Pyramids, attest not less the
pleasure of wealth than that Of pow
erty. They exist where the resour-
ces Of the State are great but gather
ed In few hands where labor is mis-
erably paid, recklessly and unpro-
ductively lavished. When the first
English adventures were dazzled by
the splendor of Indian courts, the
boarded gold and jewels OF royal
treasures, the vast empire OF the
Moguls was probably less wealthy
than the realm of Elizabeth or the
Stuarts. The hand loom weavers OF
Yorkshire, the peasants of Dorset
shire, lived in what would have
seemed to the growers of coffee and
silk, the weavers of cashmere shawls
and Persian carpets, incredible
wealth and luxury. The same rule
holds good in the comparison OF
ages as in that of countries. There
are in Europe and America fortunes
that our grandfathers would have
deemed literally fabulous-ten or a
dozen perhaps of from s1O,0Oo,OO0
to s20,000,000 each. But there are
thrice as many millionaires, ten
times as many wealthy, and incom-
parably more well provided families.
The returns of our income tax are
conclusive on this point. The total
income subject to the tax has multi
piled almost three fold in forty years?
Without entering into the statistics
amassed by calculators like Prot.
Levi, it is clear that only few great
landowners, chiefly in or near great
cities have doubled or trebleG their
rental few score of hereditary
business fortunes OF the first order
have grown, chiefly by saving, in the
same or greater proportion. But
these constitute a very small fraction
of the treble income of the upper
and middle classes. A much greater
part of that increase belongs to fam
lies now rich whose fathers and
grandfathers were well to do or pos
sibly poor; the largest by far to
families which, within couple of
generations, have risen from poverty
to competence. In word the real
lied wealth OF the country is diffus-
ed among a greater number of we'll
to-do folk than forty or fifty years
AGO.

Not a Clear Idea ofa Sharper.

He was such an innocent looking
old man, and so very green in his
ways, that Officer Button at the
Central Depot felt it his duty to
caution him against pickpockets
and sharpers.
"Oh. you needn't be afeared of
anybody gettin' the best of me" "
was the reply. "Jist come in here
and lemme show you somethin."
He sat down in one corner of the
waiting room and pulled off his
boots. In each one of them he had
S25, and s3 in change in his nock
cts.
''In order to get that money" he
said as he pulled his boots on, I've
got to be knocked down, walked on
and them butes cut off my feet, and
| reckon nobody will undertake to
serve me that way By daylight"
"Well, take care of yourself"
"Oh, you bet. I've fed on grass
all my life. but I'm not half as green
as you might suppose"
He went strolling around for an
hour or so and then came back to
Button with check in his hand
and said:
What street shall | take to go to
the Marine Bank"
There is no such bank here"

Framing a Check for a Large Sum

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31.-The
largest check ever drawn up prob.
ably in this country, and certainly
in this city, has been framed and
hung up in the treasurer's office of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panv. The sum is s14, ,949,052, and
the institution cashing it was the
National Bank of Commerce, New
York City. 1t is drawn in favor of
Kidder, Peabody & Co, of that city,
and is in full settlement of the large
block of shares which that firm pro-
cured for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in order that it might OBJ
tain a controlling interest in the
Phila. Wilmington and Baltimore
r. Il. Company. The date is June
7, 1881. The check was paid one
week ahead of the time it was due.
