When Congressman Lawler, OF Chica-

He liked them, however, and few days
afterward, wishing to regale himself
again with some of the toothsome
crustaceans, he hunted up the restau-

had made a mistake, but he was not
going to admit it. "Confound you,"
he said, "don't you suppose | know
what I want? Bring me a Dozen"
The table vas cleared of everything
that was on it, and Lawler pitched in.
He ate all he possibly could, called for
a glass of brandy, looked up at the

A German Notable and his Sor-
POW

One of the notables of Berlin is a
nearly blind old Hebrew banker named
Bleichroeder. He is of a family of
bankers, and by inheritance and his
own financial skill became long ago q
man OF immense wealth. When the
Franco-German war had assumed it's
greatest Importance he placed his for
tune at the disposal Of his country.
1t was not needed, but his good will
was not forgotten by the Emperor,
who made an intimate friend of him.
Bismarck's favor was not so readily
won, but even the Iron Chancellor be-
came the Hebrew bankers friend at
last, and the nearly blind man is to a
large extent the contidant of the two
greatest men in the German Empire.
The noble prefix of Won has been added
to his name. But it is a singular fact
that no Prussian officer will dance
with his daughter, though she is re-
ceived at Court, and is esteemed in
Court circles. 1t is not that she is a
Jewess, but because her brother, who
was an officer in the German army,
made a sighting remark when told of
the attempt to shoot the Emperor.
He was intoxicated at the time, but
his brother officers forced him out of
the army. and adecision was registered
that with him and those of his name
no man wearingth the Emperor's uniform
would ever have anything to do.

editorial Correspondence OF the Syracuse
IN. " Courier.

- 49,
Five years have wrought astonish-
ng changes in the physical appearance
of Washington. The city now boasts
. population of over 100000. The
most notable growth Of the city has
been in the west end-or more strictly
speaking in the north west end. It is
but a few years since K street marked
the limit, to the north, of the fine
streets. Now elegant residences line
street after street beyond, almost to
the end of the alphabet. Where stood
shanties, now stand lines of palaces.
A few years ago Stewards Castle and
the British minister's residence were
about the only imposing landmarks
which stretches from the White House
to the northwest boundary. To-day
mansions that tell o~fboundless wealth
and inexpressibly beautiful and varied
in architectural design stretch along
this grand avenue on either side, it's
entire length. Thewealth of the coun-
try is coming more and more to seek
Investment in Washington real estate.
Retired millionaires find here a larger
concentration of inducements for res
licences, in the winter months especial
ly, than anywhere else in the United
J States. 1t is at this season, however,
that this city of magnificent distances
is decked out in its most attractive
array. It's numerous parks and cir
cles, with their rich foliage represent
ing many chimes, are veritable powers
of beauty. The Paris of America lies
on the banks of the Potomac.

Gen. spinner's Alligator Story.
Florida Letter to Troy Budget.

Florida Letter to Troy Budget
The other day General S, who never
lies, and who is counted the honestest
man in the United States, and whose
famous signature on all the earlier issues
of the greenbacks was the synonym OF
national faith. told me the following al
hgator story, illustrative of the wonder
full tenacity Of life of the great saurian.
The general was at one of the interior
places up the ST. Johns river. He was
walking on the banks of the stream
when he saw an immense alligator.
The gator bumped himself. but the
general, being between the water and
the gator, the retreat of tho latter to
the stream was cut off. Both remain
ed in a defiant attitude. The gen.
eral called to his host to bring a
gun to shoot the gator. No gun
was handy and SO the host brought q
long rope lasso, with the throwing OF
which he was an expert. The man
threw the lasso several times, but the
gator each time tossed it off his nose
and stood defiant. Finally the man
got the drop on the gator and sudden
ly frightened the lasso between the
gators head ard his fore legs. Then
the gator was drawn up on to an open
spot, resisting all the way by humping
himself and bracing his legs. He was
then killed. His head was cut off and
buried, so as to get his teeth, and
,kull Wien the flesh should rot off.
He was u huge brute and had very
arge ivory teeth. Next his tail was
cut off half way up to be boiled for
chicken food. All this occurred just
before dark. Next morning they put
a rope around the headless and t~aille.s
carcass of the dead alligator to drag it
down to the river bank to throw it into
the stream SO that it might float away.
TO their establishment, when they
pulled OF the body the bob tailed gator
jumped his headless body and
oraced his feet TO resist being taken
o the river, just as an obstinate mule
would resist being pulled forward with
! halter. Thus vitality had remained
n the spinal column and muscles sever
Il hours after the head and tail had
beer severed from the body. There
Ire several kinds of animals, Just as
here are o fmen, who will insist they are
not dead yet" some time after they
lave been killed off. It is certainly q
'ery stubborn creature which will not
own it is dead after it was killed. The
llligator's carcass was thrown in the
liver after a struggle, but it floated
back, and still haunted tho shore.
Then crowds of great turkey buzzards
zane and picked the flesh from the
bones. The armor scales and tough
skin make the outside Of the gator iron
lad to the attacks of the buzzards, but
hey soon worked their way through
rom head to tail. and before the gen.
sral left that locality they We're Waiting

Cornaro is the only centenarian who
has left the world a clear account of
his habits. In the first place, he resolv-
ed to live to the age of one hundred
years. He kept his mind free from
trouble and passion. He avoided ex-
posture, and undue labor and idlenees.
His daily diet was three rolls, the yolk
of an egg with meat and soup, the
whole weighing twelve onnces, and
fourteen ounces of wine. This was his
idea of a temperate regimen. He did
not, however, advise every one to fol-
low this diet. On the contrary, he rec
commended each man to find out for
himself what quantity Of food and drink
suited him, and to live accordingly.

Abolish the Honeymoon.
Madge, in London Truth.

MadSe, In LONDON Irutn.
So Princess Beatrice's honeymoon is
to be spent in the Isle of Wight! After
this it will be ever more than ever the
resort of complies newly wed. But the
honeymoon is nov becoming an institu-
ton Of the past. It has OF late been
growing shorter and shorter, and will
soon be quite obsolete. In another
fifty years antlquarians will be puzzling
over whatit was. Now, my dear, ]
fancy people will get on all the better
without it. All the married people ]
know intimately have told me that they
had tiffs during the honeymoon. OF
course they had. Thrown entirely up
on their own and deprived OF
society, what other pastime was left
them but a lively little domestic breeze :
And then, ito kiss again with tears!'
Very one sided tears, you may be sure.
| There is nothing like the ordinary rou-
tine of daily life for softening the trials
of matrimonial unions, I feel sure.
Every one has his or her moods and
lenses, and to have to discover them all
in a heap, as it We're, in the solitude a
deux of the honeymoon, is a much more
terrible experience than 1t would be II
the couple we're at home, and not left
entirely to their own devices. Besides
it is very impolitic for either husband
or wife to let the partner of life become
bored; and not Cleopatra herself, with
all her "infnite variety" could have
prevented a modern Antony from expe'
riencing that fatal sensation on q wei
day in the country, in Switzerland, in
Rome, or in fact anywhere away from
his club, his pet chef and his W par
ticular haunts.
Let us. therefore abolish, the honey
moon. Let the wedding-trip remain.
but it will he enjoyed ever SO much
moredf undertaken after q year and 6
day of married life, when each partner
to the contract has learned the great
unwritted clause about bearing and for
bearing.

That was a queer anti-tobacco law
which the General Court Of Connecticut
passed in May, 1647. It was ordered
that no man under twenty-one andno
man over, who was not accustomedto
the nse of tobacco, should take any
until he had a certificate s'under the
hand OF some who are approved for
knowledge and skill in physic," that it
was usssul for him, land also that he
hath received a license for the same"
No man was to take tobacco in the
street, in the fields or woods, except
when on a journey OF 0 than ten
miles, or more than once a day, and
then not in company with any one.
