Mrs. Langtry's Farm.

81 tell you said T. S. Chadbourne
yesterday, ''Mrs. Langtry is remark

$4,000 than another person could do

business woman, I can assure YOU, and
anybody who has done business with
her will find that out You know she
has a lovely place up in Lake County
1t Is thirty miles from St. Helena, and
adjoins Gebhardts place. Gebhardt
is going to bring out his horses and
stock the place. Mrs. Langtry does
not call her place a rancho. She calls
it Langtry Farm. 1t is nice place,
and she has been very busy fitting it
up. don't care what people will say,
but she will have one of the prettiest
places in California. 1t has an old
fashioned house, but it is extremely
comfortable. Next year she is going
to build fine house. For the past
week she has been very busy having it
furnished. tell y0u she is very par
ticular, and she looks at everything
very critically"
'She is expensive in her tastes, is she
not?"
well, yes, she is. She wants every
thing very nice She has every room
furnished differently. She has love-
~ little breakfast, then a dining
room, and a pink parlor and blue
parlor, and a very pretty little Japan

towards the English style Of doing
things, but she says that she is getting
rapidly Americanized. and when she
gets into her new house she viii be

Mrs. Langtry has been promised Il
station, which will be called 'Langtry.'
Her engagement ends on Saturday
night, and next Sunday she will occupy
her little house on Langtry Farm. Mrs
Langtry tells me that she will spend
nine months every year here"
1t is generally understood that Mrs.
langtry will secure her divorce from
Dir. Langtry, and that when she is di-

Thomas Bailey AIirich's Dog.

Of course, an animal of such rare
attalnments lives in Boston, and furth-
ermore, he assists in editing the At

Lest the latter statement lead to in.
justice, and Triplet be held responsible
for ali the dogmas expounded in that
highly respectable magazine, let me
hasten to explain that his connection
with the Atlantic, though most hon
ored and intimate, is somewhat lin.
tied.
His duties, performed with great
regularity and decOrum, are sclf-ap-
pointed and Self-taught. Indeed, re.
garded solely as a dog of letters. he
would be considered truly self-made
dog.
lie watches for the pOstman, receives
the mail, and carries it proudly and
safely to the library of his master, who
is Thomas Bailey Aldrich, poet and au-
thor, and editor of the atlantic N03atblY
In view of this fact there may be foun-
datlon for the rumOr that Triplet is the
medium between his master and the
waste-paper basket; that by mutual
understanding the dog singles out re-
Jected manuscript at a glance, and
gently drops it where ii belongs.
Iriplet, rs his name suggests, is one
OF trio of playmates. his two COM
panions being Mr.. Aldrich's twin sons;
and probably it is safe to say that one
third of all the fun and frolic, one
third of all the noise and mischief, sure
to occur in a house sheltering two boys
and dog, is made by the beautiful,
petted, Irish setter.
80 much of child is he himself, that
he requires a warm, comfortable bed
every night; he brings it down from an
upper room, and sleeps with his head
high on pillow.
Although, | trust. a dog of strictest
democratic principles in accord with
his environment, Triplet perhaps would
be justified in assuming ariStocratic
tastes and tendencies; for he is of rare
breed, and his ancestors have won en-
viable distinction at dog shows.
Added to these natural advantages,

A PROFITABLE BARGAIN.
FOR a GLASS OF BEER A DRUMMER GETS
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

This may seem large sum for small
article, but 1t WAS virtually paid by o
man of great resources who had an in
genious expedient for saving the horse
flesh Of the world. About ten years ago
veterinary surgeon who was with the
army in Bombay found that the excessive
heat of that country caused the tops of
horses necks to sweat freely and thereby
produce sores under the leather collars.
All the expedients that he could sugSe&
were of no avail to remedy this state OF
things. One fourth of the horses used
for draught purposes were laid up by
what is called "Sore neck.
This"vet" III his younger days had
studied chemistry, and he found that sui
phate of zinc was the best and almost
the only cure for horses s'sore neck, :"
but the difficulty in applying this pre-
paration lay III the fact that the horse
had to rest during the times of the ap-
plication, otherwise the collar would rub
ii Off and there was no chance of the
horses recovery. Il thought struck him
that to make a zinc pad and put it under
the collar would at any rate prove an
ameliorative. and may be a cure. The
man, though ingenious in his way,
was much given to drink, and
was looked upon by the officers of the
army as a "ne'er do weel" with bright
ideas. While this idea was simmering
IN his mind and before he had put it into
an actual test no happened to be in
drinking bar. His finances were at this
time at the lowest ebb, for his future
pay was mortgaged for all it was worth
aI,I thn Eli rafncoI 4a
with any more drinks. An American
drummer happened to be representing q
large leather house and knew O good
deal OF the difficulty with which the
American farmers Of the southwest had
TO contend. The two men got into con
versation, and as a natural result the
veterinary spoke OF the idea that was
uppermOst III his MUD and said that he
thought that he knew of q remedy of that
most troublesome complaints of which
all horses in hot countries suffered. The
American was perfectly convinced that
he was talking to a man of good ideas,
though bad principles, and asked what
ne would take for the idea.
l am awfully hard up and can pet no
more drink on trust, so ! will give you
the idea for glass of beer"
"Done, said the other.
The American at once saw that there
was probably millions ia this and he
conceived the notion that the matter ooz
ing from the sores on horses necks
would corrode the pad and produce sui
phate Of zinc-thus the disease would
provide its own remedy. He also saw
that zinc, being non-conductor Of heat,
would keep the parts cool. The more he
thought of it the more he liked it, and
although his business should have kent
him IL bombay some months longer, he
IN few days took the first steamship
for Liverpool and then for Boston. Ar
riviug at Boston he threw up his appoint
ment with the house, and started the
manufacture of zinc pads, after obtain
ing patent for the idea, and is now
worth S2O0,Q00. These zinc pads are
ussd in every country on earth and are
the greatest blessings the farmer enjoys,

DIAMOND MINING IN SoUTE AFRICA
The diamondiferous soil ie ouarried ont
below by Kafirs and deposited in great
iron buckets which run on standing wire
ropes. ana AaTIed up by steam to the
recelV!nD. boxes on the brink of the mine.
Everywhere Is activity and hustle, and a
loud hum comes up out of the vast
hole rom 1900 on 1000 human beings eM-
gagged at work below. The men them
selves look like so many flies as they dig
away at the blue soil, and the thousands
Of wire ropes extending from every claim
to the depositing boxes round the edge
have the appearance Of a huge spiders
web, while the buckets perpetually de-
scendlng empty and ascending full might
well represent the giant spiders.
Every thirteen or fourteen kafirs at
work II the mine have a white overseer,
to prevent as much as possible that
wholesale robbery which goes on among
them. One would think they would find
Ii rather hard to steal, and still more diff
ticult to conceal a diamond on their
naked persons under the eye of the over
seer; but, despite all precautions, they do
steal vast number Of stones, picking
them up and carrying them away in their
mouths or between their toes. The
largest diamonds are usually unearthed
IN the mines before tho stuff is washed.
and an Overseer must keep his eyes well
open, for he cannot be sure Of the honesty
of any one of his boys. Globe Demo

An Interesting Bridegroom.

..Bridegrooms, as a class" said a
friend of the writer, 'seem to be a
necessary part of the proceedings, but
they do not often cut very imposing
figure. An awkward man, short or
tall, dark or fair, with a profusion of
skirt front and minimum of vest,
smoothness of hair that is to me the
only object worth studying in the
whole makeup, white flower in the
buttonhOle, seeming air of self-satis-
faction, palpably false assumption of
tranquility that even a woman ought
to see through-there is composite
photograph of the bridegroom of to-
dav. There was one bridegroom whom
feel warmly toward. ! sat very near
the front on this occasion, and | could
see very plainly all the high contract
ing parties did and hear all they said.
l heard something | didn't expect to
hear. The clergyman in handing
ring to the groom dropped it and it
rolled few feet under the brides
train. The groom had to almost kneel
to reach it, and as he bent over | heard
him say little word of four letters
which, while profane, is very express

and natural, flung against the artificial
palings of propriety, that | must con-
feSs that | took good deal of interest

COLORED CATHOLICS.
Preparations for the Convention which
Meets in This City Tomorrow.

The preparations for the convention of col
ored Catholics, which is to meet in st. Angus
tines church in this city tomorrow, are now
completed Delegates from every part of the
country are daily arriving, and it is safe to say
that when the convention is called to order up
ward of 600 colored Catholics will be present
as delegates. The Rev. Augustus Tolton, the
only colOred priest in the United States, will
sing the solemn high mass at 1890 o'clock
tomorrow morning. He arrived here Satur-
day, and yesterday sang mass at st. Augustine's
church. The church was packed with colored
people, who seemed delighted to see one of
their race on the altar. The convention origi-
nate with Mr.. Daniel A. Rudd, the..proprietor
and editor Of the American Cathode Tribune,
the only Catholic paper in the United States
that Is owned and controlled by q colored man.
The Catholic church during the last twenty
five years has made great progress among the
colored race, it is stated by cOlored Catholics
here, and its efficiency is attested by the fact
that upward Of zoo, 900 negroes are members Of
the Catholic church in the United States.
