Three Distinguished Germans.

Carl Schurz, after an extended visit to Ger
many, where he was received with many
marks of distinction, has returned home. He
arrived Saturday, on the steamer Hammona
of the Hamburg Line, accompanied by his
two sons and two daughters, all in good
health. His reception in Germany, from
which lie fled in 1S49, political refugee is
a most unique and interesting episode in bis
romantic and notable career. Mr.. Schurz Is
one OF the three men of German birth who
have achieved the most extraordinary success
in this country. The other two are Joseph
Pulitzer and Henry Willard. In three de-
parlments of enterprise these men have at
tanned the highest donors. Mr. Schulz has
sat in the Presidents cabinet, which is rs
high as uny foreign born citizen can go in this
country Mr.. Pulitzer has made himselfmas-
ter of one of the greatest newspapers of the
world, and Mr.. Willard has long been lead
er in Wall street, and conspicuous for his
great command of capital and big enterprises.
All three were drawn to this country by love
and liberty, and, no other capital than their
brains and energy, they have worked out
their remarkable careers Philadelphia Led.

BlOtting Paper

1t may not be known that blottiDg paper is
an important article of commerce. 1t is, and
is called one of the staples OF the PAPER trade.
Large manufactures are devoted exclusively
to its production. The demand is always
good, and subject to little variation. When
paper stock advanced under the influence of
the boom, the price of blotting paper went
up with the rest that is, advanced abou.
twenty per centum. Prices have declined
little since, for like the prices of other things,
it was easy to get them up, but very difficult
to get them down. The sale of blotters is
very large, but it would be larger if insurance
and other companies did not scatter so many
advertising blotters. Blotting paper is of
comparatively recent origin. 1t is not many
years since blotting sand was an article of
foreign export and domestic use. Foreign
sand came from the Mediterranean, but Block
Island beaches supplied Rhode Island. Some
merchants of to. day remember when, as clerks
in stationery stores, they occupied leisure
hours and rainy days in putting into conve-
lent packages blolting sand that came from
Block Island by the barrel in these pointed
shallops that plough the main very little now
adays The use of blotting sand led to the
manufacture of sand sifters, which in itself
was an industry of some magnitude. A piece
of paper has displaced them, sand and all.

4 Badly Puzzled Driver.

A negro got off the train day or two since
and had small trunk. He asked drayman
what he would charge to bring the trunk TO
town. The darby driver said, "a quarter"
won't pay it,, said the new arrival, as he
shouldered his trunk and started to the city.
The roads were very muddy, and the negro
drayman was bringing his dray back without
a thing on IL. The darkey said to him, "Let
me ride" Jump up" responded the driver.
The new arrival mounted the dray with the
trunk on his shoulder and rode to his desti-
nation. AS he got off the driver said, "Give
me n quarter for bringing up your trunk"
"But you didn't" said the other darkey;"I
toted it all the way" Oats So" said the
driver, "but tort was err haulin' 1t how Is

AUTUMN THE WOODS.

Every hollow full of ferns,
Turning yellow in their turns:
Struggling brambles fierce and wild,
Yielding berries to the child;
Oakhalls tumbiing from the tree,
Beechnuis dropping silently,
Hosts of leaves come down to die,
Leaving openings to the sky;
8luebells. toXgloves. gone to seed,
Everything TO death decreed.
Nothing left of flowers or buds
Such is Autumn ia the woods.
And so is there an Autumn known
To the heart. Ii teels alone.
Fearing its best days are past,
Sees the future overcast.
Fond acquaintance broken through,
Friends departed friends untrue
Human flowers cold and dead,
Covered by grassy bed;
Hopes, late blossoms putting out,
Wilhered soon, and flung about
By cruel winds; dTead doubts and fears.
Finding vent in sudden tears.
Yes, there is an Autumn known
10 some hearts thus left alone.
Yet there's this thought after all.
Ferns may fade and leaves may fall,
Hearts may change and prove untrue,
All may look as these woods do
Though sad Autumn here Is given,
Sprlngtime awaits the just in heaven.

PECULIAR PRACTICAL JOKE.
An Englishmam's Wager Very Nearly
Turns Him Into II Convict

William Hastings Toon, described as q
gentleman living i'll London. was charged
with obtaining large number of postottce
orders by false pretenses. On March the
gentleman came to Birmingham and took
lodgings. He inserted in no fewer than
seventy newspapers throughout the coun-
try advertisements for clerks at salary
commencing at ESQ per annum. Very
soon some thousands of applications We're
sent in to his apartments. and in return he
furnished each one with Il circular, stating
that he was the sole agent for a large COM
mercial undertaking which was about to
open offices i'll the principal cities of Great
Britain. Before any application could be
considered 1t was necessary. he said, to
forward postal order for five shillings.
was complied with by many applicants
from London and several provincial towns.
By the 9th of March complaints had been
made to the police, who madea raid on the
defendants lodgings and took possession
of nearly 1000 letters. At the same time
the accused was arrested. He at first
maintained that it was o genuine affair,
but he ultimately admitted that he was un-
aut horized to engage clerks, and added
that it WAS "all joke" He explained that
he had laid a wager for G10O with n Capt.
Semple that in less than month he could
get over 5000 applications for situation
as clerk, and that 2.OOOof the letters would
contain postal orders for five shillings.
After some further evidence the Jury re-
turned verdict of guilty, whereupcn the
recorder said he was of opinion there was
no evidence of fraud, and as the prisoner
did not belong to the criminal classes he
should bind him over in two surities of
ESQ each for good behavior.

The Anti.Gossip Club.

If your friends faults annoy you,
tell him so; but for heavens sake keep
silent about them in the presence of
other people. You will never reform
him by calling the attention of the
world to his errors. I have made a
resolution which would like to en-
body in an organized society, and call
it the Anti-Gossip club. The resolu-
ton is this: Whoever speaks i'll of an
other person to me must meet that
person in my presence within a weeks
time and repeat the words, thus giving
the accused an opportunity to defend,
explain or reform his error. l think
a few experiences of this kind would
deter people from coming to us with
unkind gossip.-EUa Wheeler Wilcor.

Chicago DeDrayity,

The caterer Of one of the leading
restaurants in the city says that fewer
oysters have been eaten this season
than any he has known for some years.
Il know OF nothing" he continued, sin

run than the oyster, but at length the
American appetite seems to be repudi-
ating it. OF course. you will always
find blue points OH the banquet bills Of

Tane. In fact, the epicurean taste is
on the alert for something new from
one end of the bill to the other. Lob
sters are not what they were, but the
clam is about the same. It's the same
with other things. Take breakfast,
TOR instance, in winter. 1t used to be
the epicurean caper to have buckwheat
cakes and golden syrup. But it is very
seldom that any of the ton ever call for
that now. Mince pie used to be the
pastry par excellence with us. just as
English plum pudding is in England.
we now have less call for mince pie
than any other pastry. Apple dump
ing, with hard or wine sauce, is the
1avorite, and sherbets and ices are in
demand the entire season. I can re-
member the time when O fish dinner
was considered quite the thing, but we
seldom hear of it any more. Roast beef
is the standard in meats, and that re-
minds me that we get as good roast
beef in Chicago as you can get any
Where. 1t was not always SO. n few
