THE MEXICAN ON HORSEBACK.

A Mexican grandee in equestrian costume

ontire country. He often, including his
saddle, wears a thousand dollars worth of
clothes and things. From the crown of his
head to tho soles Of his feet no Ia a thing 10
DO admired and wondered ut. Beginning
OF the top, his sombrero costs anywhere
from $50 to $3.50. No thoroughbred gen.
tleman over wears ono worth less than $25,
and even the man who blacks your boots
has as much and sometimes more than that
invested In his hat. A friend Of mine, who
was away all summer, paid his footman, or
"portero," $42 back wages on his return.
The fellow spent 1856 for sombrero and
gave the balance TO his family.
Then the equestrian has handsomely
embroidered velvet or cashmere jacket, a
pale pink sash, q silver mounted revolver
In silver mounted belt, a sword that is
worth $50 to $75, solid silver buttons,
sometimes in double rows, with loops or
chains down the seams of his trousers,
which are often of leather. Then his silver
spurs and patent leather boots sit graceful
Iy upon silver plated stirrup, which is at
tached to saddle that may be worth any
where from $50 to $500.
Suits for boys ton and twelve years of
age, with full outfit, from sombrero to
sword, can be purchased and are often seer

MANY RICH WOMEN.

With the exception OF the aged widow Of
A. T. Stewart, the richest woman in her
own right in Now York is Miss Catherine
Wolfe. Miss Wolfe believes In making good
use OF her money, too, and has given away
great deal for benevolent purposes. She
Is known as q philanthropist as we'll as o
millionairess, and doubt IL any other New
York woman Is held In higher esteem. The
next wealthiest woman, probably, is Mrs.
Paran Stevens, who succeeded to very
large estate at the time OF her husbands
death. Mrs. Stevens likes the enjoyment
that can be got of money, and for that rea.
son she takes care Of hers. II Is reason,
too, that operates vigorously on most people
who have money. There are many Other
women in Now York, mostly widows pretty
we'll on in years, who have great deal OF
money of their own, and keep tight hold
on it--women who can count their fortunes
anywhere from $4,000, 600 up TO $12,000,-
900. Most of them have special desire to
eiude tho tax man, and they generally make
It effective Those whose money Is in real
sstate can't help paying taxes, but where
The investment il in personal property it is
mighty hard to get anything out of the
owners. A few object to paying taxes on
tho ground that they are not allowed
voice in saying how the taxes shall be spent,
but in nine cases out Of ten the desire TO
get the better of the tax man Is based on
the broad, general principle of beating the
public treasury anyway that it can DO done.
good many men act ON the same princi
pie, and some are millonaires, too Men
ton being already made OF Mrs, Stewart, a
word mny BIO said about the solemn mnn.
sion she occupies ON Fifth Avenue. II is
still the most notable residence in New
York, 30 far as appearance goes, but almost
gruesomely lonely. Hardly anyone Is ever
seen going In or coming out. There is
scarcely sign OF life at the doors or win
dows, either day or night. Faces are never
seen there, and the shades seem never to be
raised The life within must certainly be
quiet to the point of dull monotony
And as 1t Is ON the most busting part Of tn,
Avenue, with business now gathering all
around it, the exterior suggestion OF in,
ward dullness Is all tho stronger. How
over, while It suits tho widow of the mil.
lionaire to live in that way, it may be that

The complete success of the cable motor
for street-cars was demonstrated by the
Traction Company yesterday. Cars wero
ran at intervals all day on the first COM
pleted section of the company's system from
the Columbia Avenue depot. This section
requires 20, 900 feet of wire cable, which
runs under the pavement down Columbia to
franklin, thence to Master, thence to
Seventh, and thence to Columbia Avenue
again and back to the depot. Tho 300
horsepower Corliss engine at the Columbia
Avenue depot, which moves this great cable
at uniform rate of q square and o half to
the minute, worked almost as noiselessly as
a sewing-machinery connected with the new
motor performed lis duty perfectly. Tho
cable as II runs on the pulleys in the tun-
mel beneath the street makes a buzzing sort
Of noise, which can only be heard upon the
street, however, when everything else is
quiet. Passengers were not taken on the
cars which ran yesterday, because the trips
we're made merely to fully test the practi-
cal workings of all the details of the motor
and to accustom the men to their new work.
No difficulty was experienced anywhere.
The grips worked to perfection, and the
brakes accomplished all that had been
promised. This first public appearance OF
the now cars attracted great deal of atten-
tion, and whenever one of them made its ap-
pcarance on the street, moving without any
visible means Of propulsion, people gather
ed in knots to stare ut il. and the boys tired
themselves out attempting to follow it.

A Fargo correspondent writes to the st.
Paul Pioneer-Press On the train from Bis

His genius was part of his birthright. I
remember well his coming to the shop one
day with his face badly cut by glass with
which he had been experimenting in the
mixture OF chemicals. We worked q year
or two together and then Gray married
Delta Shepard. knew her well and she
lived only mile west of Oberlin. After
that he moved on to her mothers farm and
commenced peddling milk and making but
tor. This he continued until he demon
strated his inability to make profit and
succeeded in compelling his mother-in-law
to mortgage her farm and sacrifice her
property, whereupon he began the study Of
telegraphing and of telegraph instruments,
something that he before knew nothing
about.
Two or three years he thus spent in
fooling with an old instrument, until his
poverty increased to such an extent that his
wife had to appeal to friends and neighbors
for the necessaries of life. For weeks he
would hardly speak 10 her and the impress
sion became prevalent that he was not in
his right mind. One morning he returned
from his work room with smile and sad

her worst fears were now confirmed and
there was no longer any question of her

To the young the future has roseate hue.
Tho roseate hue comes high, but we have to
use it in this place. To the young there
spreads out a glorious range of possibilities.
After the youth has Endorsed for an intimate
friend O few times, and purchased the paper
at the bank himself later on, the horizon
won't seem to horizon " unanimously as il
did aforetime. | remember at one time OF
purchasing such piece of accommodation
paper at bank, and still have it. didn't
need it any more than cat needs eleven
tails ut ono and tho same time. Still the
bank made II an object TO me, and secured
1t. Such things as these harshly knock the
huH and bloom off the check of youth, and
prompt us to turn the strawberry-box bot
tom side up before we purchase it, Youth
Is gay and hopeful, age is covered with ex-
perience and scars where the skin has been
knocked off and had to grow on again Tc
the young dollar looks large and strong,
but TO the middle-aged and the old it is
weak and inefficient. When We are in the
heydey and fzz of existence, we believe
everything, but after while we murmur,
Whats that you're givin' u.s. or words OF
like character. Age brings caution and
lot OF shop-worn experience purchased Mt
the highest market price. Time brings vain
regrets and wisdom teeth that can be left in
agass Of water over night.--The InGleside.

An officer on the retired list of the United
States army said recently that the most des-
perate deed he had ever known to be per-
formed was that of Milton Malone, resi-
dent of Selma, Ala. When the Federal
cavalry entered Selma, Malone was sitting
in lawyers Office, pistol ON the table
before him, with the avowed intention OF
killing the first Federal soldier who entered
the room. p
Two cavalrymen trampsd up the stairs.
As the door opened, Malono's pistol crack
ed twice and the two cavalrymen fell. Rush.
Ing down stairs, Malone fed down the
main street, past Kips hotel, to the River.
A dozen shots were fred at him without eff
feet. Hastily unmooring skiH, he padded
to the opposite shore, took the first horse he
found at hitohing- post, and made good his
escape. M

THE PRICE OF plvoRcEs.

We viii suppose that the husband Is

strikes him for $50 BILL This is before
anything is done. No money, no divorce
Then as soon rs the papers have been served
on the wife her lawyer applies to court for
rule compelling the husband to pay him
$50, too. The court accedes to this as a
matter of course, and the rule is always
made absolute. BY this time the proceed
ings have cost the libelant 300. Formerly
the legal fee on each side was 1856, and he
could have got thus far for $40; but, thank
Heaven, under the new rules the price has
been raised. Then the court appoints a
master or examiner to take testimony He
hears oil the witnesses and gets at the facts
His fee is $25 for the first meeting and $40
meeting after that. Two or three meet
ings usually suffice. 1 forgot to say that
before this the Sheriff had had his dig at the
litigants in the shape of SO fee for serving
the papers on the respondent. Then, when
the decree Is made, tho libellant pays $40
for it and the whole thing is made a matter
of record by the prothonotary, who, for
That little service, gets IS. This makes
$l40, provided that the master has but one
hearing. Two would usually be necessary,
and this makes the grand total of $153.

hands with glee and putting on his best
smile, now you strike a rich vein. I'm.
fortunately for us, the majority of divorces
are not contested, Is both sides are only too
willing to get clear of each other But
good contested case that involves jury
trial of several days, ard perhaps week or
