ABsENT-MINDED MR.. REND,
Some Queer Doings by One o
ChicaSO,s Most Prominent M an

w. 2. Rend is perhaps the most
absent-minded man among those who
are well.known in Chicago. When
his mind is set on one thing it pays
no attention to anything else. Hardly
day passes that he doesn't do some
comical Thing because Of this peculiar
characteristic. 1t is very common
thing for him to drive over to Peter
Fo' 'tun. = house, tie his horse at the
gate, stay a. little while and then
come out and walk home, leaving the
horse tied IN front of Peters house
Peter says he has sent Mr.. kend's
horse home dozen times when Rend
had MT only forgotten that he had
left the horse, but also, when re-
minded that he had left him some-
where, had forgotten where he left
him.
He has lost overcoats by the score
through leaving them wherever he
happened to take them off, and as for
umbrellas and canes and gum shoes,
he couldn't begin to count the number
he has left lying around.
One of his habits is to 60 out OF a
TcStauTaDC DOJ OILY WltUOuC going
near the cashiers desk, but without
even taking his hat. Time and again
he has waiked from the Chicago oys-
ter house to his Office bareheaded and
never discovered that.he had left his
hat. Nj st Of the walters and cashiers
in the restaurants which he fire.
queuts have learned his peculi-
arity in this direction, and take
a good deal of pleasure in
looking after him. The cashiers
have learned never to call him back
merely to pay check. They simply
make note of the amount, and next
time he comes in they tell him about
it. He always pays with the best
possible grace
Some of his friends like to tell him
Of the time he pulled his watch out
of his pocket and looked at it to see if
he had time to 60 back home and get
his watch from under his pillow, but
he says that is fiction.-[ Chicago

WASHINGTON, February 10. - An
agent of the Associated Press sought
an interview with General Sheridan
this evening for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether he would consent to
make an authoritative statement in
regard to his alleged Presidential
candidacy. The General gave his
consent and it will be seen from the
follow ny verbatim report of the con-
versation that his declarations are
thoroughly explicit:
Agent--"Ofctur-e General YOU have
noticed that there has been tonsidera-
BILE mention of YOUR name during t .e

ton"
But General, the talk is more

he something like conce, ted

General Sheridan-"Well, know
nothing more about this a legged BOOM
than what have read in the paper !;

discussed seriously it is time that all

RULED BY FOREIGNERS.
Not a European Sovereign who
Belongs to the Nation he K les.

Belongs to the Nat1Om he HuacS.
A recent historical authority in tn g
Paris Matin shows it to be fact that
not siakle one of the ruling sover
eigns Of Europe is native of the
country over which he rules, or at
least his family did not have its origin
in that country. In Austria the
House OF Hapsburg had Fits origin
in the Canton of Argovie, in Switzer
land. Tue male line became extinct
in 174O, and Maria Theresa, the last
of the Hapsbnrgs, married Francis,
Duke of Lorraine, who became the
founder I the present ruling house
that is, the Franco-Saiss family OF
Hapsburg- Lorraine. 1t is not an
Austrian who is Emperor of Aus
tria, nor a Hungarian who is
King OF Hungary. Louis Philippe
Marie Victor Leopold, King OF the
Belgians, Duke of Saxony, Prince Of
Saxe-Coburg and Hotha, is a Ger
man. Christian TX, King of l,en-
mark, belongs to the House OF Hol-
stein, an ancient State in the Ger
man Confederation. The King OF
Spain de-cends from the family OF
Anjou. Bourbon, an old French house.
The Queen OF England (,ouse of the
Gutlphs in Brunswick Luneherg) is a
pnre- biooded German. George 1.
King OF the Greeks, is a representa-
tive OF the house of Schles swig- -Hol
stein SoLderherg-Gluchsbnrg. He was
born at Copenhagen. Homer, ST.
crates, Plato, Aristotle, Alciiades,
Tuemistocles and pericles never fore
saw such an accident. Leonidas, per-
haps, wouli have preferred Xerxes.
The King of Italy, with all respect to
him, is Savoyard. The house of
Savoy is one of the oldest reigning
houses in Europe, but it is not an
Italian who rules over Italy. Will
liam III, King of the Neither
lands. belongs to the excellent fam
lily Of Orange Nassau, which had one
foot in Vanclore and the other in
Wei sbaden, but the King of Holland
is not a Dutchman. The Hohenzol-
lerns are originally from Swabia which
is country of mixed population,
Bavarian and Swiss. The King Of
Prussia is not an original Prussian.
Charles [. of Roumania is also Ho-
henzollern. bnt not of the North, is
from the Danish family of Holstein-
Gottorp. He only descended from
the Romanoffs through the elder
daughter of Peter the Great, who
married. Frederick, pure-bloodeh
Dane. The Romanoffs themselves
are Prus.ian family, who happened
to establish themselves at Moscow.
The Emperor of Russia, therefore, is
not an original Russian. Oscar l.
father of the ruling King of Sweden
and Norway, made an excellent mar
riage in espousing Desiree Clary, who
belonged 20 family very we'll known
at Marseill+s. He is, then, neither
Swede nor Norwegian.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 19.-In a
restaurant on Mission street this
morning Robert Distance (colored),
proprietor OF the restaurant, found
fault with VIM. Thomas (also colored),
employed as q dishwasber in the res
taurant. Thomas threw down his
dishrag aud soap, and started out.
Distance followed him with a few re-
marks, and blows were struck,
which resulted in Thomas being
knocked down twice. With cry Of
rage Thomas drew his knife and
stuck it deep into Distances left
breast. The blood spurted freely,
seeing which Distance threw up his
hands and fell down to die. Thomas
dropped his knife and fed. He was
caught a block away by policemen.
The wounded man was taken to the
receiving hospital, where the wound
was dressed. 1t was found that the
blade had penetrated the lung cavity
just above the heart, inAicting prob
