AN INTERESTING SPECTACLE.
How a Georgia Negro Devours His
Watermelon.

From the Americtls (Gd) Republican.
Did you ever witness a mortal combat be-
tween typical Georgia negro and water
melont The spectacle is one replete with
interest, though it invariably terminates in
the utter demolition of the latter to tho in
tense qualification and satisfaction of the
first named contestant.
We were going down Cotton avenue
Saturday morning with that graceful
camei-hHe glide Of ours, when we came
suddenly and unexpectedly upon a country
darky, seated behind wagon near Princes
stables. he held in his arms the struggling
form OF 4O-pound melon, and as we were
not pres ,ed Tor time, we at once determined
TO witness the work of destruction.
The preliminary ceremonies were brief.

up like red leather valise and Instantly
closed up the delicate two pound lump OF
rich meat tlat protruded above the surface.
THIS act was not repeated, for gradually his
face was buried in the melon until finally
nothing bun his ears were visible, they

VANDERBILT SUED FOR a MILLION
The Old Case Of How Breese Was
Mulcted Carried Into the Courts.

Mulcted Carried Into the Courts.
From the Neic York Star.
Mr.. William L. Breese, who is suing
William X. Vanderbilt in the supreme
court for 81 900, 900 for breach of contract,
was the most uncommunicative man in the
city yesterday. The papers in the case
were served over a month ago, but the fact
leaked out for the first time yesterday. Mr..
Breese is member of the brokerage firm
of Br5ese & Smith, No. SO Broadway.
He alleges that as far back as 1882 he was
invited by Mr. Vanderbilt and his brother,
Mr.. Hollins, to join a pool that was then
being organized to advance tho price OF
Lake Shore stock. Acting on the contract
then agreed upon, Mr. Breese entered into
the compact. He bought Lake Shore stock
| to large amount, but He'd to realize the
profits. 1t is alleg, d t. at when favorable
moment arrived Mr. Vanderbilt unloaded.
This SIMPLE mode of doing business left Mr..
| Breese in the lurch, and il is claimed that
| by the operation he lost 81 100000.
| This is the SUM be is now fighting for.
| He is also looking for the interest which has
| accrued since that time, and II he succeeds
in the suit Mr. Vanderbilt will have to pay
something In the neighborhood of 81 10000,
! including the law costs.
Freling II. Smith of No. lis Broadway,
has charge of the case for Mr.. Breese. He
was not inclined to be communicative. "All
| will say about the matter" he said, "Mr.
Breese has brought suit for the recovery of
the sum you mention against Mr.. Wander
blt. He alleges breach OF contract in con-
nection with the deal. He has good grounds
for the action, and if he can prove, as we
believe he can, that there is a breach of
! contract, then there is nothing for Mr..
Vanderbilt to do but to pay up all this
money. l cannot show you the papers in
the suit, as do not believe. it would be fair
to my client"
When asked if the answer had been served
by the other side, Mr.. Smith said it had. 81
cannot give it to you, however," he has
tened to say, "for the same reason. 1t is
long document. So is the complaint The
public will get the particulars all in good
time"
Ths particulars of the story which has
led up to this action have already been told
in the Star. H. B. Hollins of No. II Wall
street was Mr.. Vanderbilt's broker at the
time, and it was alleged by Mr.. Breese that
it was his fertile brain that matured the
scheme. So fierce did the injured broker
feel that on one occasion when he met Mr.
Hollins on an East river ferryboat he struck
him. The battle opened by Mr.. Breese de-
nouncing the other, and, after some hot
words were spoken, he struck Mr.. Hollins in
the face The latter at the time threatened
to proceed against Mr.. Breese for assault,
but he never did so. When the case is
called Wall street especially will be inter
ested, as many prominent stock brokers
here will be called as witnesses. Many
questions of law affecting the buying and
selling of stocks will be laid before the
court, and it may result IN revolutionizing
the present system of transacting stock
business.

BUrrERwoRTH's bad BREAK"
The Ohio Statesman Cudgels Leader
Reed Of Maine, and the Fur Flies.


From, the NeD York World.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The democratic
members of the house were treated to-day
to family jar on the republican side. in
which the participants were Mr.. Reed, tho
acknowledged leader, and Mr.. Bltterworth,
who is alrea iy spoken of as speaker of the
FIfty-first congress if the republicans Sc
euro posses ion of the lower house. Mr..
Butter - orth had the floor, but Mr.. Reed
was doing tle talking. He was long way
from the subject and had just declared:
Il am able to meet any emergency"-
Here Mr.. Butterworth protested against
the interruption, leaving Mr. Reed in a de-
cidedly embarrassing position, being unable
to finish his Sc tence.
In your own estimation, then, said Mr..
Butterworth, with a sarcastic infection, ''it
would never be safe to yield to you"
my friend accuses me of too much
PRIDE" angrily retorted Mr.. Reed. HE
has cut me off in the middle Of a sentence
and made 1t appear that l have given utter
any emergency which | voluntarily at
fronted myself to"
"Well, replied Butterworth, in the same
annoying tone, his own face flushing holly,
II never knew the emergency you would
not affront, and affront yourself to-
81 shall be able to meet any emergency
you can raise" shouted Reed. whose face
was white with suppressed rage
81 presume So" retorted Butterworth.
II have heard that fools rush in where
angels fear to tread"
At this thrust a roar of laughter went up
from the democratic side, and Roed, nearly
choking, demanded to be heard. Butter
worth, however, refused to YIELD but deliv-
cred himself of this final taunt:
"If the gentleman would have the polite
ness to ask me to yield, he would elevate
himself in the estimation Of his friends"
Reed sat down trembling with wrath.
When he finally secured the floor, he had
mastered his anger, and aside from one or
two characteristic illusions to 1.-The gentle
man from Ohio" confined himself closely
to the subject under discussion. But Mr..
Reed does not forget; he has it i'm for Mr.
Butterworth, and everybody feels sure the
ambitious statesman from Ohio has made a
dad break"

and is a Regular Watch Dog.
From the AUGUSTA (Ga.) Chronicle
Mrs. Robert Young, on upper Broad
street, above Marbury, owns a remarkable
mocking bird.
Mrs. Young has, through long training,
taught her bird many popular airs, and he
has added TO his repertoire by picking up
many of the street calls of the gamins The
feature in which he excels all other birds,
however, is in the assistance which he gives
his mistress III managing the household.
Mr.. Young is absent from home the greater
part Cf the day. and Mrs. Young found it
nard to attend to her store and at the same
time perform those domestic tasks familiar
to all housewives
After many months of industrious train
ing, she now feels safe in leaving the
scrutiny Of the shop TO the bird. When he
secs her go through the rear door he be-
comes all attention, and should any Gus
toner enter the shop door he puts up such a
| racket as quickly summons Mrs. Young,
and did, on several occasions, brighten
nervous patrons of the store. The noise is a
sort of squeak, and comes nearer to the
grating sound made by sharpening a saw
than anything else in the field Of acoustics
And ere is no let-up until Mrs. Young
appears. He can initiate q policeman's
whistle with such accuracy as to bring
tears of envy to the eyes of one of the SER
z ANTS who is afflicted in this respect

life.

The hey left in time to save himself from

and his neck is threatened by Mr.. Young.
A night or two ago that gentleman came in
some hours after supper and went to the
pantry to take the keen edge off his appe-
tite. He forgot about the bird, and
was almost frightened out of his
wits by hearing, just over his head, an
| unearthly tumult of noise, made up of
saw filings, cat-calls, boots, whistles, and
snatches from ''Erminie'' and johnnie,

| dropped his hastily constructed sandwich
and was hurriedly leaving the room, when
