Scheme OF the Brokers.

"Have you heard of the latest scheme
o. some of the Wall street brokerss" was
the query put to q reporter by Western
Union operator. "They are devoting
their spare moments to learning teleg-
raphy. A few days ago the regular oper-
ator in a New street brokers' Office
was absent, and was sent for to take his
place for the day. / noticed an extra set
of instruments in the Office, and supposed
that some of the Office boys or clerks were
learning to manipulate the key. l was
somewhat surprised during the day to see
q member of the firm come in and com
mence practieing the Morse characters. /
learned that he was paying his operator
extra 10 remain after business hours and
practice with him. Upon quietly investi-
eating the matter, / ascertained that sew
eral other brokers were assiduously strug-
Cling with the Morse alphabet, with vary
ing success. One broker, who started out
with the expectation of becoming suffi-
ciently expert within six weeks to read
messages coming over the wire at ordinary
speed became somewhat discouraged
when, at the end of that time, he found
it impossible to catch even the small
words. Their idea is that if they can be-
come expert enough to read messages
passing over the wires it would be an easy
matter for them to drop into other
brokers' offices and, by listening to the
click of the telegraph instruments, per-
haps gain some valuable information. ~

Different Phase. of "aind Cure"

Now that all forms of mental healing
are much talked of and largely adopted,
it might be well for the public to know
that the disciples of the different schools
resent the common practice Of outsiders
bulking them all under the head Of ''mind
cure" Mind enters into each one, TO be
sure, but in different forms and through
different doors. They who practice
SChristian science" draw healing force
from the Infinite Mind, and consider their
own minds as at most a mere telegraph
line through which the vivifying power
reaches the patients mind. Plain ''mind
cure" works by the operation Of the heal
er's individual mind on the subject, and
partakes Of what is known as mesmerism
or hypnotism. Faith cure" and prayer
cure" are one and the same, both relying
upon faith to override disease.
II any one doubts that the healing of
disease by mental methods is going on
briskly in this city, let him drop into the
offices of some of the best known practi-
TONERS and see the collection of patients
waiting hour after hour in order that
each may get n treatment. Nine O'Clock
is the hour for beginning the business of
healing. An hour before that six and
eight patients are in readiness to get their
slice of life and health as drawn from the
infinite source of all life and wholeness.
From that time ON until the office closes
at night 1T is never empty, and most Of
these reach point when they declare.

A once Noted cavalryman.

A small man, with gray mustache, a
slouch hat over his blue eyes, and walk
no longer as clipper as it once was, is
recognized by few people here when he
makes his occasional visits from Wash
ington. He is Gen. Pleasonton, whom
many think one of the greatest cavalry
commanders of the war, and who un.
doubtedly fought and won, perhaps, the
greatest cavalry engagement of the con-
test between the states. 1t was at Brandy
Station. where eighty regiments of horse
men contended on one field with no in
fantry or artillery nearer than ten miles
away. Sometimes the battle flags of the
contending generals were not further sep
arated than the two sides Of Broadway.
Pleasonton, Fitzpatrick and Custer We're
in single group. Detecting crucial
point in the opposing line, Pleasonton
cried: ''Custer, go right in there"' Gus
ter's mounted band at once struck up

minutes he had carried the position. Gus

barely 90 years of age, seems to be out of

Some Fiends Attempt TO Wreck Limit
ed Express Near No rth Lewfsburg.
The Urbana Citizen gives the following
account OF attempted train wrecking FRI
day night:
A dastardiy attempt was made to wreck
the IL O'Clock east bound passenger train on
the n. Y. p. & o., at North Lewisburg last
night The scoundrels who planned the
foul deed came near effectlng what would
have been fearful thing, but for the for
tunate stopping of the train at the water
tank. This train runs on fast time, and
usually passes Lewisburg at high rate of
speed. Fortunately, however. on this &C
casion, the train stopped for water-an un-
usual thing-but it no doubt prevented a
fearful wreck. After taking water
the train started again. and before
getting under full hesdway, 1t passed
over the switch near the water tank.
The manner in which the train went
over caused the train men to stop and see
what was wrong. They discovered that
some iend had taken q fence rail and
driven it between the rails at the switch,
so that wien the passenger train would
come along ut the fast rate Of speed which
1t usually does, 1t wsuld jump the track
and cause bad wreck.
The fortunate stopping Of the train at
the water tank prevented . serious acci-
dent.
The only cause given for the dastardly
outrage was the fact that tramps had been
put off the train at that place, and to get
even with the road, had made the attempt
to wreck the passenger train.

The thurman and His Food.

The Burman is rather peculiar feeder,
not being very nice in his selection or
preparation of food. He is not, however,
SO varied caterer, nor does he take in
such a large selection, as his near relation
the Chinaman. The Burman draws the
line at rats and mice, which delicacies
form no portion of his daily fare. He is
forbidden by his religion TO shed the blood
of any animal for food purposes alone,
although he may and does catch fish, and
eats them. His conscience finds salve
in the fact that afte- the fish are caught
they are left to die; he will not bleed
them, although he may often give them a
sly knock on the head TO accelerate their
decease. He may keep cattle, hogs,
chickens, etc, and, being of kind and
humane disposition, he feeds them well,
keeping them in good condition, but he
does not dc SO TO repleIesh his larder. He
uses the milk of the cows, often OF the
tame long horned buffalo or of goats, for
his family or for sale; he will also eat the
eggs Of fowls.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A MiSER'S WILL.

Hsw an Eccentric Old Physician Rem~m-
bers His Reixtives with n Little Trinket
The most remarkable will probably ever
offered for probate was made by an eccen-
rill physician named Everett Wagner, who
recently died in Kentucky. Here it is:
"By the grace OF God, Amen. l,
Everett Wagner, being of sound mind and
disposing memory, and realizing the un-
certainties of life, do make this my last
will and testament, thereby revoklng any
former or other will may have made.
have lived a secluded life, and for that
reason. 1 suppose, have not accumulated
as much of this worlds goods as might
have been, but my beloved relatives, know
ing that am about to die, and believing
me, as they have heretofore called me, q
miser, suppose my wealth very large
Although up to this time they have shunned
me almost entirely, they cannot now do too
much for me, and nearly every one Of them
has visited me In these my last hours and
given me a gentle hint that they would
like to have small trinket of some kind
by which to remember their beloved rela-
tive.
''On account of their former treatment
and their gentle hints, l now take this
method of satisfying their desires, and by
this. my last will and testament, / will and
bequeath to them as follows:
.'First-I give to my beloved brother,
Napolean Bonsparte Wagner, my left hand
and arm.
"Second-I give to my beloved brother,
George w. Wagner, my right hand and
arm"
Similarly he disposes Of eyes, nose. etc.
to other relatives, and says if any be for

the lack First come, first served"
The remains will Se buried in the pot
ter's field. The executor and surgeon each
are to have $500. The residue of his estate
is to go to public charity in Metcalfe
county. The estate Is worth SI2, 900.

No sueh 1hins a. Waste.

The complete erasIlre OF the word
'waste" from the dictionaries, at all
events In SO far as 1t has any relation to
industrial products, is, If not quite an
accomplished fact, undoubtedly becoming
more and more imminent; and we may
thank the chemists Of this generation for
teaching us how 10 recover and utilize in
Vulnerable substances which, in their ig-
norance, our grandfathers threw away.
Thirty years ago the manufacturers of
iron, gas and chemicals, everywhere neg
lected all but the prime objects Of their
industr es, whereas today, on the system
of taxi lg care of the pennies and allow
ing Il e pounds to take care of them
selves competition has induced lis to re-
gard our legionary by-prOducts as SO
many integral parts or branches of each
enterprise. IL the intelligent men who
have ''gone before" and who were looked
upon by their contemporaries as wise in
their generation, could by any chance re-
appear among us, we might conduct them
to our gas works. and with a certain pride
explain the origin of our sulphate Of am
monia, our aniline dyes, and our hundred
other extracts from coal tar.
From the contemplation of gas we
would turn with them to some of our
smelters and furnaces, and point to the
mineral wool, the cement, the glassware,
the pottery, the fire bricks and the fertil-
izer, all derived from our furnace Stag;
and finally, entering a great chemical
works, we should show them how the
once devastating gases, so fatal to life
and vegetation. are no longer sent free
into the air. but are condensed and trans
formed into staple articles Of trade, and
how by an ingenious and, to them, un-
dreamed OF process we extract the
precious metals from our exhausted sui
phur ores To their wondering question,
s'How can these things bes' we might re-
ply that all these marvels result from q
modern and enlightened policy, which, in
many countries, has fostered every species
of research in every branch of science, en-

and stimulated general thirsting for

Concerninr opium Culture.

In few states the farmers have expert.
mented little with the white poppy, but
we have not regarded opium as ever
likely to cut much Of figure among our
products. Mr.. Pratt, the United States
consul at Teheran, who has been study
ing opium culture in Persia, where very
fine article is produced, says he believes
large regions in California and the
southern states are we'll adapted to
the cultivation of the white poppy,
and, in view of the superior quail
ity Of Persian opium, he details the
methods Of cultivation in vogue there as
guide for our poppy raisers. Though the
ebuse of opium has made it, in the opin-
ion of many, disreputable drug. it
serves a large number of useful purposes,
and if we could raise what we require for
legitimate uses opium calture would be
considerable addition to our wealth pro-
ducing resources.-New York Sun.

IN AN INSANE Asylum.

Professor Price, the Capitalist, Heard
from, and Expected to Return to Jam, $.
town.
The airy story, or fairy story, of Profess
sor William Henry Price and his immense
English inheritance, grows more and more
fascinating. The following from the
Washington C. IL. Herald, is the latest
chapter related by cousin of the pro-
fessor:
From the time he has left his home un-
Ill about three weeks since, his family at
jamestown knew nothing of his where
sbouts. Ii seems that when he left his
home IN January for New York he was
laboring under an alteration of mind,
probably caused from the worry and trouble
he had passed through in regard to his for
tune, and when he came to himself three
weeks ago he found himself in ali insane
asylum in New York city, where he had
been tenderly cared for, though he knew
not where he was or how he got there until
he was informed by the attendants.
His first and his sole anxiety was about
his fa mily, to whom ne was always very
devoted. The authorities at the asylum,
not knowing who he was or where he was
from. had to wait for the return of reason
before they could learn anything In regard
to him; and as soon thereafter as possible
they informed his wife at jamestown in a
brief statement with the assurance that
later on they would give full and explicit
account of his condition and how he became
an inmate of the asylum. He is rational
now and much better, though very weak,
but ii is thought that he will be able to re-
turn home in few weeks"
Miss Lottie Gale, young cousin of
Mr.. Price, who returned with him from
Europe about four months ago, was in this
city this morning, to whom the Herald re-
porter is under obligations for the above
information
Miss Gale says her home, and the former
home of Mr.. Price, was Manchester, Eng
land. She further says, in regard to the
much talked-of fortune, that there is no
no mistake: that the business of procuring
1t is now under way, and, as he it the
grandson of the former owner of the prop
erty. there can be no doubt as to the legal
rights in the premises, and that he will get
the money In course of time.
Miss Gale is very con ident that they will
get their money, ther father or mother be
ing an heir alsO).
She says If he has done wrong, it was
an error of the head and not of the heart;
that he expected to get his money ere this.
and had he done so would have redeemed
all his pledges, which he will do, she feels
confident
Miss Gale says while In England few
months since Mr.. Price was taken very |
sick, in which condition he was not in his
right mind during the gseater part of the
time, and that his physician said he was
not fit to start on his voyage home when he
did,
