who is attached to the staff Of the New
York Times. Miss Morgan's department
IS the cattle market, which she follows
with great closeness. For her services
in this line Of work she receives very
fair salary, and she is also paid hand
somely for her services in the interest
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad. She
does additional work for one 9th.
or paper, and her income ranges close
to $1OO a week. Miss Morgan is one
Of the best known figures on Park Row.
She is tall woman, whose attire is sim:
gnlarly masculine She wears broad,
thick shoes, short, heavy dress. thick
mittens, and little bit of a hat perched
on top Of her head. One would pick
her out for s member of the Susan 3.
Anthony sect Of strong minded women.
She is about fifty years old and wears
steel-rimmed spectacles and carries a
revolver. It would undoubtedly be q
very cold day for any person who
should undertake to modest MILDLY
Morgan, thus aumed and ready for
the fray. 1t should not be inferred.
however, that she is q blood thirsty or
otherwise evilly disposed person. She
lives away out in New Jersey, in house
placed at her disposal, by the railway
company. and she doesn't generally
reach home until late at night. After
leaving the train she is obliged to take
a long walk down the railway track in
the dark, and she has a wholesome
aversion to tramps and other unlawful
characters.
One afternoon, when she was at
homo, three of these gentry came in
with the exclamation, "Well, old
woman, what have you got for us?"
MILDLY went down into the pocket Of her
dress and drew her big revolver. "This
is what have got for you" The tramps
stood not upon the order Of their going,
but entered into wild scramble for
the door. They must have sub
sequently come back and left a tails
manic mark upon the premises, be-
cause, no matter how thickly the
country is loaded with ruffians Of that
stripe. they never venture upon the
grounds Of plucly Miss Morgan. It is
said that she sometimes speculates in
stocks of various kinds. At any rate,
people who know her we'll say that she
has accumulated fortune of close 10
$50, 900, which is by no means bad for
a lone, lorn woman.

Guarding Rich Mems Graves.
Philadelphia Letter in Chicago Tribune.


F. A. Drexel's body now lies in the
vault where the dust of The late Mrs.
Drexel was laid Immortelles and roses
and branches of palm, the sign ofpeace
and triumph, lie on the marble slab
that closes the sepulcher, and the iron
railing is green with smilax. Few pass
without turning for second look. At
night one may see the burly figure of q
man resting in the shadow of tue church
or pacing to and fro beside the tomb.
He is we'll armed and from nightfall
until the day returns lie never leaves.
He is the Waterman employed to guard
the dead mans dust against violation.
For months and months he will 20 his
weary round. If he should fall ill q
substitute will be put in his place, for
it would be perilous to take moments
risk with the human hyenas who prey
upon dead mems bones. Since the
dissertation of the grave IF the late
A. T. Stewart the tombs of men of
even moderate means are always guard
ed for weeks after burial. In the case
of men of large wealth this protection
is prolonged for months, and indeed the
time of it's ceasing is often purposely
left matter of uncertainty. The
widow of wealthy fnancier, who was
one Of the richest and most widely
known men in Philadelphia, not onl "
had men guard her husbands grave.
but she also had mass Of granite put
upon it, 60 large and heavy that the
power of an engine would have been re-
quired to pull it away. ts5 s7.5s
With the exception Of the specific
legacies and the title given to charity,
all OF the late Mr.. Drexel's estate goes
to his three daughters, the Misses
Elizabeth e., Catherine NJ and Louise
B. Drexel, The young ladies thus be-
come the wealthiest girls in Philadel-
phia. The estate has not vet been com
pletely appraised, but it will probably
reach nine or ten illions. There ii nc
one to whom happiness might be more.

The Care of Children,

BOSTON, MAss.-A leading medical journal
thinks it is about time mothers should know
how seriously the health of children is imper-
illed by the use OF preparations containing
morphla and opium, and gwen for the cure Of
colds and coughs. The chemist of the Brook
Ign Board Of Health, Otto Grothe, Phi D., a
graduate of the University of Kiel, Germany,
certifes officially that recently harmless and
yet effective article for such complaints has
come to his notice. He refers to the newly dis
covered Red Star Cough Cure, which he found
purely vegetable.

Grants Arabian horses are, think,
on Gen. Beal's farm, near Washington.
They were given him BY the Sultan while
ne was in Turkey in 1878. The Sultan
had taken him over his palaces and
grounds, and finished up with his sta
bles. He had his attendants show of
his finest b orses, and asked Grant to
pick out the finest for hims elf, telling
him hewould make him present Of it.
Grant at first was reluctant to accept SO
valuable a gift, but one Of the Sultan's
officers interposed, telling him he
would offend his majesty by a refusal.
He then selected dapple gray Arabian
stecd, and the Sultan formally pre-
sented it to him. The Sultan after
ward sent It to him at New York, add
ing to his present another Arabian as
black as jet and as magnificentin form
as the one Grant had chosen. The two
horses arrived IN New York in the lat-I
ter part of the following year, and
sporting men. admired them greatly.
They were taken to a blacksmith's to-
be shod, and many persons came to see
them, trying to buy their old shoes or
even the nails as nomentoes. When
the horses were taken from the boat to
the stables. one of them kicked "a spoke
from carriage which they passed, and
it cost Grant $12 to pay the damages.
