Macs New Watch.

When anybody asked J. S. Mccullough,
of the Omaha road. what time it was, yes
terday. Mac Immediately dropped all bust
ness, and, reaching around to his vest
pocket. would take out the magnificent
gold watch presented to him by his friends
the previous night and consult its face with
an air of nonchalance, telling the hour in
slow. measured tones, as ne looked up into
theinouisitor's face with an expression that
seemed to say, ''Have you seen my watch"
Mac is proud of it. and well he may be
for it is a beauty and the fact that it came
from the employees of the general passenger
department and his daily associates adds
greatly to its value. It was genuine sur
prise to him when he walked
home late Monday evening and found
his friends in possession OF the
house. and none enjoyed his surprise more
heartily than Mrs Mccullough, who had
been let into the secret several days before
and had prepared an excellent little banquet
for the occasion. Up to IL o'clock Mac did
not suspect the real object of the visit. He
thought it was a quiet. little surprise pre-
pared for him by his friends, and began to
wonder if it was his birthday or the ami
versary of his wedding. lie consulted his
wife in regard to the matter and found that
it was neither. Mr.. Wheeler was present
and about Ii o'clock began to talk of Mac
in quiet way, telling of the good viii the
bows i'm the Office bore him, and remarked
that he was a splendid fellow. Mac list
ened quietly until Wheeler got to praising
him pretty highly, when he said jokingly:
Hold on, Wheeler. Thatn do. I've got
10 time for fiatterer.
But I've got time for you" said Wheeler,
rising ''Watch the professor and pulling
the watch out Of his pocket he walked over
and hung it on the outside of Macs coat.
Mac was ratified completely. but soon
pulled himself together and made very APP
propriate speech, but entirely devoid OF
tragic effect. and then came Mrs. MccOl-
lough's table filed with choice edibles,
which the party eagerly partook of and APP
preciated.

Swiss-ItaIian Smuggling.

Geneva Letter TO LONDON Daily News.
The ingenuity of smugglers has never per-
hapS been more srikingly illustrated than
it was few duyS ago on the SWiSs-Italian
frontier. An innocent-lOoking wagner,
with wagon-load of cheese arrived at the
Italian custom house at ChiaoSo. He had
come from LuganO, and his destination was
a small Italian village called Marignan.
The cheese weighed three tons. and the
wagner, who was ''childlike and bland"
whiStled blithely as he duly presented his
papers which certified that he was employed
by the firm Of--tO convey the cheese,
which formed part only III a large order.
to its purchasers al Narignan. The papers
were examined and found en- regle, and be-
fore reSuming his journey the wagner
stepped into neighbOring cafe with one OF
the dOuanierS, for the day was hot, and
cigarette and glass Of wine could not fail
to be acceptable. But the delay Tor re-
freShmentS was destined to prove fatal to
the wagoner'S hopes, for during his absence
another douanier wiStfully gaZed on the
tempting load of cheese, and, thinking that
a slice from such quantity would never be
missed and at the same time would, in con-
junction with a mOrSel of garlic and piece
of black bread, afford MIN delectaDle sup
per, he whipped out his knife and, selecting
a prime-looking cheese, he proceeded to cut
into it, or rather he did not cut into it, for
either his knife was blunt OF the cheese was
uncommOnly hard. This popularity in
duced him to consult with a colleague, and
together they proceeded to make something
more than cursory examination Of these
remarkable cheeSes. LOand behold! They
proved not to be cheeSeS at all, but SOLID,
compact rolls of tobacco artfully done up in
cement; this again was covered with can
vasS, which was painted to represent
cheese. OF course the find was instantly
confiscated, and the blithe wagner was
transferred from the comforts of the cafe
to the hardships of jail. 1t is said that
both the consignOr and cOnsignee will be
called to account, and that the line likely to
be inflicted will not fall short of thousand

Oriental Ladies who Outshine Old
solomon in All His Glory.

Marriage is SAID to be a serious matter,
even in Europe. but here in Morocco the
courage of the ladies, Arab or JeweSS, who
embark in it is worthy of all admiration.
Ksthetically, the tase of the country leans
(f the context permits of such a verb
toward embonpoint; consequently process
closely analogous to that practiced upon
turkeys before Christmas time has to be
gone through by a bride-elect conscious of
inefficient amplitude of charms. l do not
know that there is any point (if again such
a word is applicable on such a subiect) at
which adpose tissue ceases to be admira-
ble-fat, fatter and latest seem
but synonymous with fair, fairer
and fairest; and so ladies of a. very
positive stOutness seek, by swallowing
enormous quantities of pellets of kneaded
bread to obtain comparative and even SUI
perlatiVe disturbances, says writer in the
Cornhill Magazine. 1t is extraordinary, L
am told, how much ladies, buring with the
laudable desire to please their future hus
bands can manage to cram in this way,
and with excellent effect. for they become
beautifully broad and doughty.
The Jewish bride, on her wedding day,
is not permitted to speak or open her eyes
this is mOdesty petrified by custom.
When not being married Jewish ladies,
dame or damsel, make very good use of
their eyes, and on Sabbath. for example,
when other work is forbidden, the ladies,
in all their bravest cOlOrs, sit in their pa
tots facing the coor. or in the doorway it
self. 1t becomes an exercise demanding
some courage, and to be recommended for
that reason, for a timid male to pass I'M
flinchingly the battery of dark eyes that
converge upon him with most searching
deliberation.
OThe Jewish wedding is a most tremen-
dous affair; for days before at the brides
house there are receptions. winding up with
a final gathering of friends on the eve Of
the dave One has no words to express the
brilliancy of the ladies' dresses. Solomon,
in all his glory, and the Queen of Sheba
seem in some way appropriate as SMILES;
but the mental eye can bear them undaZ-
lied. Now l want some phrase made up
of rainbowS and sunstrokes, and beds of
tulip and Tyrian purple, and the gold of
Ophir and suspicion of the Burlington
arcade to convey to those who have not
seen them some idea of the gorgeousness of
the ladies who come and help with the eff
fulgence of their Presence.

now and then a minute to devote to personal
amusement and during the past few weeks
the character of this amusement mas peen
pleasing as well as exciting. They nave
been betting. There is hardly railroad
man in the city who hasn't wagered a SILK
hat. box of cigars. case OF VINE or the
oysters with a friend on the result OF the
election. All these bets OF course were OF
private nature and not necessarily Tor pup
LEGATION, consequently no names are men
toned. There are two Third street
railroadeTs, however, who did not stake
the periShable goods that are usually sacrl-
feed. They set their browS and with
stern. determined look apiece, made SOL
emn VOW to each other that will be of no
little interest to the people at large.
Charley Jones. the handsome street man
for the Wisconsin Central road, whose SUI
gar-coated smile and inflamed mustache
are as familiar on Third street between
jackson and Sibley streets as the street IL
self is Staunch AmeS man and don't care
if everybody knows 1t.
Peter SimOns is the city passenger agent
of the Minnesota & Northwestern railroad,
and in pursuance of his business he comes
in contact with Jones daily, and as Peter
Lappens to be a somewhat enthusiastic Re-
publican. the political discussions between
these two gentlemen at times becomes some
what incendiary. Yesterday Pete met
Jones and said:
well, this is the day that McGill quietly
wipes the earth up with Ames.
Jones Immediately replied, This is the day
that McGill wants towipe the earth up with
Ames, but Ames has got the earth and he
won't let McGill get near enough to it to get
a wipe"
''McGin will be elected just the same" said
Pete.
''wen. should say nay" replied Jones,
she won't get a SMELL.
Say" said Pete, SRI tell you what I'll
do. If Ames is elected IL ride horse at

Sibley street to Bridge square, and draw the
hansoms hack, and if McGill is elected you
must change places with me-
''Ill do it, said Jones, and, crossing bands.
the compact was sealed.
The pnblic occupies an enviable position
sz the matter, as whichever way the cleo
lion goes it is bound to receive the same
quota of fun. On the day when the
pageant moves. it will be rendered doubly
impressive by the addition of brass band
and marshal in the shape of the chimney
sweep with his donkey and harSh-voiced
bugle.

A BUTTERFLY PARADISE.
millions OF the Pretty Creatures
Make Miniature snow. Storm.

A half-mile beyond the Belt road cross
ing on the Vincennes road is an acre or so
of cabbages and sweet potatoes that seem
to have special attraction for little white
butterflies, the paternal grubs of width
have ''chawed" the cabbage leaves into rags
and sticks that bode ill for the winters
''krout' barrel, says the indianapolis
News. There are. or were, thousands of
them, tens of thousands, fluttering, flying,
lighting, rising, looking very like snow
fall when the flakes come down, broad and
thin. sailing this way on momentary
breeze, whitening potato here and
cabbage-head of spikes and ribbons yonder,
as pretty a summer days illusion as the
vagrant reporter ever saw.
The who'd area of 800 feet by 200 was
actually white with butterflies for dozen
feet in the air, or possibly twenty, and they
made fluttering skim all over the surface
of the ground. There might have been
million of them. Less could hardly have
made such illusory exhibition of win
ter scene. Yet fifty yards farther down
the road there was not one, and as far up
there were none.
This field seemed to be their ''habitat, )"
as naturalists call it, where they lived their
ephemeral life, duttered in the sultry air a
day or two and died. bequeathing to the
next cabbage patch an equally ample legacy
of white butterflies and winter illusions.

a MAN with Fifty wives.

After the excitement at the arrival Of
Prince Louis BOnaparte by the steamer
Belgic yesterday had somewhat subsidized,
two sallow Oriental men, with brilliant red
turbans became the center of attraction.
They are the nephew of the Rajah of Sing
apore, Alsagotf, aud E. De Ahneida. The
first named is the reputed pos
SCISSOR of fifty wives and man of
immense wealth. Special Detective
Sweeney insolvency, with characters
tic ubiquity, interviewed the ilustrious
strangers on the subject of the British gov
eminent, and elected from them the fact
that the Tajah's nephew is a descendant of
Mana Sahib, former Taiah of Singapore
of Hibernian descent. The announcement
that Alsagoff had harem of fifty wives
caused flutter of excitement among the
ladies on the wharf, and they clustered eag-
erly around the much-married man. Judg-
ing from his stoical looks the eyes OF the
San Francisco hOuris left him untouched.
The OrientalS are accompanied by trOup
of servants and have taken up their abode
at the Palace.
