NAV, NOT MUCH"

1t occurred at Chicago the day before
yesterday. 1t was case OF illegitimacy.
1t was in Justice Ingersolps court. The
woman was Miss Carolina Sybers, elegant,
well dressed, highly educated, and wealthy.
The man was one Verbyden, strapping
fellow, rather handsome. The woman S
statement and the mans response are
rather funny, taken together, as follows
"There is an insurmouutable distance be-
tween this mans social position and mine.
He belongs to almost the lowest stratum OF
society. l to the highest. l have wealth
enough to permit him to live in elegance, and
arm willing to hire coachman to drive him
about. l do not want him to work
at his menial employment. Your
honor, l am not enamored of this
man, knowing that he occupies a po-
sitiop in lite far below mine, and
not worthy Of me. In an unguarded moment,
however, he accomplished my ruin, and now
my sole desire is to have a father for my
child. Let him be manly enough to acknowl-
edge this paternity by marrying me, and
there is nothing would not do for him."
During this passionate appeal the defend
ant listened in stolid Indifference, and when
the court asked bin if he was willing to
compromise the difficulty by marriage he
simply replied, "Nsw, not much" He was
held to the grand jury in $500 bonds.

He tried to cut me then, but didn't, and was
taken away vowing vengeance. About six
months ago happened to be in Tucson, and
went into shop to get shaved. Squatted
in chair, and closed my eyes. After the
barber had got me lathered and had begun
to shave opened my eyes and looked up

he was as likely to recognize me by my eyes
as any way. Though he chartered to me

voice. Every movement he made with the
razor feared would be toward my throat
Every time he stopped shaving thought he
had recognized me, and was considering
whether he would cut of my ears before

week, if seemed to me, he finished the job.

"Going Through" His Mail.

lNeW 1OFk lrlpunel
When John R Mclean was here recently,
I Idropped in to see him for few moments
at the Fifth Avenue hotel He had just
come in and the table in his room was
covered with letters, which he was rapidly
opening, and after glance at their contents,
throwing into the fire. ats abominable,
abominable,r he said sWhy do nothing in
New York but open mail from people who
want me to buy something or have my
picture taken, or go some where. These are
all advertisements in some form or other.
There ought to be some way in which guests
could be protected from such pests" By
this time the last letter had disappeared in
the fire, and we began another topic; but
the other day, in the room Of prominent
gentleman at an uptown hotel. was given
permission to "go through" his mail, which
he told me would find like Mr.. McLean's in
every respect
There were eighteen appeals. Three were
from theatres, soliciting his presence land
cash) at the evening performance. Three were
from merchant tailors, offering to make up
English goods at half price or less. The
writer of one begged the distinguished honor
of pointing his camera at the distinguished
gentleman, for whose photograph the whole
world was said to be impatiently crying.
Another offered to print his picture and
biography in a book of biographical sketches
for $50. A newspaper reporter, whose card
had been sent up and an interview refused,
wrote to say that he had seen another re
porter go up to the honorable gentleman's
room, and that he might look to be crushed
to earth unless he accorded the same
privilege to the writer. A summer hotel re-
guested the recipients attention to its
salubrious location and advantages These
may serve as samples. The names to which
to address such letters are obtained from the
lists of prominent arrivals in the morning
papers.

get it They will nervously watch the clerk

the drug works them up to such pitch that
they take it before leaving the store. Yes

Senator Geo. F. Edmunds is an awful
lawyer. He knows it awfully every day
toward evening. But he was not expected
to know it so awfully so early in the day
as he did on the occasion of the counting
of the electoral votes. He is the president
pro tempore Of the senate; and the con-
stitution says that he shall, in the presence
of the two houses, open the certificates
and that the votes shall then be counted.
This was done. Then George, the awful
lawyer, after declaring the result as given
him by the tellers, most profoundly added:
"And the president of the senate makes
this declaration only as public statement,
in the presence of the two houses of con-
gress, OF the contents of papers opened
and read on this occasion, and not as pos
sessing any authority in law to declare
sry legal conclusion whatever" 1t was
q most unnecessary airing of Georges
views Of constitutional law, and the senate
spent good part of the afternoon in tell
ing George So The almost unanimous
opinion was that, while making solemn
ass of himself, he had bound nobody by his
but that his announcement of
the result was, as Sherman expressed it,
"the only constitutional declaration, pro-
vided for under the existing law, of who
Is to be the president of the United States
lfter the 4th Of March," Mr.. Edmunds's
awfulness will strike in on him
ome time early enough in the day to de-
troy him before sundown.

went back to the senate and began to
take notes, which afterward corrected by
the information Of an old supreme court
lawyer, who has lived in Washington for
twenty years, and knows as well as a banker
or a collection attorney what our senators
are worth. There are very few mon in the
senate that can be called millionaires.
We have only handful Of sure-enough
millionaires-Hale, Don Cameron, Brown,
Sawyer, Hill, Fair and Miller-merely seven
men, and no more. There is not as many
worth one-quarter as much. But seven are
interested in railroads-Don Cameron,
Brown, Sewell German, Dolph, Fair, Cam
den. And none of their roads are land grant
roads requiring legislation by congress.
There are but two millionaires from all New
England, New York and the middle states,
where the greatest aggregation of capital Is
and whence would naturally come great
pressure for corrup. legislation in the senate.
There is but one millionaire from the south,
but one from the Mississippi valley, another
strong, fat, coTupting business section Of
the country, and but three from the noun
tains and Pacific coast The senate is SLAM

Popular Science Mont hly.I
In Sicily at the end Of the middle Mo
Gene period, the sulphur bearing was raised,
and lakes were formed in which occurred
the deposition Of sulphur and its accompan-
ing gypsum, tripoli, and silicious limestone.
The sulphur rock is composed Of sulphur and
marly limestone, the sulphur being some
times disseminated through the limestone,
and at others forming thin alternate layeru
with it. These sulphur-bearing seams are
often separated by layers Of black mari,
twenty inches thick, some seams attaining q
thickness of .wenty-eight feet. The total
aggregate thickness OF the sulphur seams
reaches 100 feet in one case, but the average
total is ten to twelve feet only.
Almost all the Sicilian is carried to the
surface on boys backs, consequently it does
not pay to work below about 400 feet, as II
then becomes necessary to employ hauling
machinery. Hence the deposits lying be-
low that horizon are hardly touched, and
ss many of the beds are nearly vertical, and
do not diminish in yields as they descend,
the still untouched resources must be very
great Various estimates have been made
as to the period for which the supply will
last at the present state Of consumption;
these range from fifty to two hundred
years. There are said to be about go mines

Charles jackson, from Chicago, had his
young and pretty wife arrested the other
day in New York for deserting him. He
represented that he loved her and wanted
her to 60 back and live with him. But
she said that she had found him out since
she married him, and found that he was
bad man whom she could not live with.
She disliked him, in fact, and would not
try to endure him any more. The court
could not see any ground for holding an
unloving wife to a loving husband by force;
and she passed out without 81 .aking to her
