PERCHERON HORSES.
40 Years, Exncrience.

To a Tribune reporter, Mr.. A. S.
Chamberlain, who for 40 years has been
the proprietor of the cold Bulls Head
Stables" New York City, said: Il
keep exchange and sale stables for
horses, thousands of which annually
come to my stables from all parts Of
the country. don't deal on my own
account to any extent. The French
horses have good feet and stand the
pavements better than the Clydesdales,
and bring better price on the market.
The ClNlesdales are short-ribbed, slim
wasted and lack action. Compare
lively few of them are now brought to
this market. The demand is largely
for French horses. / would advise the
farmer and breeders, who are breeding
horses to sell on the New York market,
to breed from French horses in prefer
ence to all others. Chicago Tribune.
Percheron stations of the finest quality
and with choicest pedigrees, registered
in the Percheron Stud Book of France,

numbers. Within the past two years
1000 have been imported and collected
by one firm alone.

Two Men Who Were Determined to Lick
the First Stranger They Met.
A stranger who arrived at Sioux City
a few evenings since was met at the
depot by slathering big fellow, half
drunk and in fighting humor, who
stopped him and said:
Stranger, are you from Omaha"
Eyes, sir"
"Then prepare.
"For what?"
ITO take the biggist licking white
man ever got. Itook solemn oath an
hour ago to lick the first chap who ar
rived here from Omaha"
The stranger "peeled" without an.
other word and sailed in, and in three
minutes ne had taken the sand all out
of the big fellow.
Stranger, why didn't you tell me?"
asked the victim, as he wiped his bloody
nose on the rim of his hat.
Tell you what?"
That you was hitter"
''Oh, there was no need of that. AS

"A young clergyman who had come
to supply the vacant pulpit of the church
in New England village, had an ex-
tremely boyish appearance, and made
his way almost unnoticed into the pull
pit, where he was concealed from view
by the reading-desk in front of him. But
an old lady who sat close on the right of
the pulpit in consideration of her deaf
ness, was much concerned to see boy
in the place of the expected clergyman.
So she arose very softly, stepped on tip
toe to the pulpit-stairs, and, reckoning
with her forefinger, whispered loudly in
coaxing accents: "Come down, my boy;
you mustn't sit there; that the place for
the minister!'

A RENAISSANCE,
A True History of the Once Famous "Rob.
ert Heller"

crt Heller"
"Robert Heller" the noted magician,
was really William Henry Palmer, na.
tive of Canterbury, in England. AT the
age of ten years he was musical pro.
Dizzy, and at sixteen he appeared in con.
cert, and had composed several brillian,
stndies for the piano-forte. His musical
career was hindered by his boyish fancy
for the illusions of magic, at first a mere
recreation, afterward an infatuation.
While still a student he left the Royal
Academy, , in company with another
young and noted artist, and at the Thea.
ter Royal, Rochester, he gave his first
magical enteru lment. The result was
not brilliant. The friendly confederate
sat in front box, with greatly waxed
mustache, eye-glass and other disguise,
but owing to anxiety he lost his presence
of mind at critical periods, to the discom-
future of the wizard and the disgust of
the audience, from whose missiles the
two young adventures escaped through
a window at the rear of the stage.
In 1852 "Robert Heller" came to the
United States, and soon aftcrward he
drifted to Washington. There he became
professor of music, was organist at DR..
Halls church, became lion in the Dip
lomatic society presided over by Lord
and Lady Napier, and married Miss
Annie Kieckhofcr, a daughter of one of
the firm of Riggs & Co., bankers. But
his infatuation for Bohemian life was
not overcome. His marriage was not a
happy one, and be persuaded an old
English gentleman named Philips, the
father of Washington bookseller to
furnish the funds for new nccroman-
GERS outfit. Soon afterward he OBJ
.ained the services of his step-sister, Miss
Ada Palmer, as confederate, and with
her he travelled around the world. Re-
turning to the Atlantic coast, he died at
the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia,
