Waited on by a President.

II is not every reporter who has been
waited ON by the President of the United
States, though reporters get acquainted
with Presidents quite as matter OF
course, just as they do with all other
men who live in the news atmosphere.
In this case the Sun reporter and the
late Capt. Ronald +. Coffin were report
ing President Arthur's fishing trip to
the Thousand Islands. The President
had private dining room set apart for
him, but he abolished its privacy by in
viting the reporters to share it with him.
There he ate at one table with Mr.. r.. G..
Dun, and the reporters had another
table across the little room.
''What are you eating, boysg the
President often called out at breakfast.
"Muskallonge, sir.
81 thought so, the President would
reply. "That's the big fellow l caught
Yesterday. l hope it will taste good in
proportion to the pleasure it gave me to
get it into my boat"
One night, when the hand of time
had slipt around so far that the hotel
was closed and barred and bolted, the
reporters tried all the doors and could
not get in. While they were knocking
on the last of the four or five entrance
ways, the door suddenly opened and
President Arthur stood before the re-
porters. Always charming man, Mr..
Arthur was Mt this moment fascinating,
both because he was playing the part of
deliverer, and because he was smiling
so broadly.
"AIr President, this is too bad, " the
reporters said. We did not mean to
disturb you. !"
ooh that's all right, said the Presi-
dent. ''but what bothers me is how you
could have made their acquaintance SO
quicklyl"
'sWhose acquaintance, sirl"
"Come, come, don't try to deceive
me. / know there are lots Of pretty girls
around here, and know you were visit
ing them.
s'No, sir; we were at work"
cit won't do. ''Your work depends
on what do, and as have not done a
solitary thing to-day, you can't plead
work excuse.
"When the reporters again apologised
for bringing him to the door, the Presi-
dent made this remarkable explanation.
s'Iy colored boy was asleep in a chair
in my room, and thought it better to
go and let you in than to disturb him. "

The Easy-Going Prince of Wales.

The fat Prince of Wales has none OF
the worries of his sister. Religion doesn't
bother him, and he is having fun. Folks
have been feasting and feting him all
over the Continent, and now he is of
to shoot bears at Godillot, Austria. A
real Pike County sportsman might de-
spise bear shooting as royalty goes in for
it. The Prince knows that if there are
any bears they will be rounded up IN
some fashion or other to be killed by
him most conveniently, and, on the
other hand, if any one is TO be Rugged
or clawed there is not the remotest dan
ger of his being the victim. The only
thing that seems to bother his fat,
round, jolly, little, Administered royal
highness is that he has TO keep on
squeezing himself into new and untried
uniforms all the time. He has Just
been forced by circumstances to add to
his wardrobe the gorgeous trappings of
the Austrian hussars. This is computed
to be about his eightieth uniform. He
finds the uniform business expensive, as
they cost up to $3.50 each, and may be
worn only once. 4 comic thing is to
see how sOlemnly certain loyal newspa-
pers condole with the Prince on being
thus obliged to spend the peoples
money. The Prince went to the races
recently In his latest uniform, and only
those who have seen him can imagine
how funny he looked in a gold-froggcd
tunic, tight red breeches, Hessian boots
and white shako.-Ne1 York Sun.

dent Grant, that he had regarded tenn
| porizing as dangerous method of deal
ing with an evil which had existed for
five years on the Mexican frontier, but
which could not exist a week on the
Canadian frontier, and that he regarded
the then Mexican government as too
feeble to successfully cope with it.
Under the threat of war, however,
President Tejada in 1875 ordered Corti-
ma to report to him at the city of Mex
leo, whereupon the frontier chief threw
up his commission and defied the Pres
ident. There was then stationed at
Matamoras regular army officer and
graduate Of the military school at Chap
ultepec named Jesus Christie. To him
President Tejada addressed a pri-
vate order to arrest and take Cortina to
the city of Mexico. Col. Christie found
his opportunity in q visit which Crtoina
undertook to one of his ranches. He had
only gone short distance outside of
Matamoras when he was surrounded
and made prisoner by Christie with two
companies of calvary. Brought back to
Matamoros a prisoner, Cortina's follow
ers to the number of 1000 flew to arms,
intending to rescue their chief, but
Christie proved equal to the emergency.
He placed Cortina in the centre Of
square, with detail of execution un-
der orders to shoot him at the first as
sault for his rescue. This stratagem
disarmed Cortina's forces, and on the
following night Col. Christie departed
with his prisoner for the city of Mexico,
where he turned him over to the Presi-
dent Returning to the frontier, Col.
Christie reorganized the rural police, and
when the Rio Grande rose beyond the
possibility of wading it into Texas, he
issued forth with his cavalry, and, it Is
said, hanged 100 raiders.
Cortina, at the outbreak of the Diaz
revolution, escaped from the capital and
issued a pronunciamento against Lerdo
dc Tejada and in favor of Diaz, to whom
he rendered material service. 1t was
feared then that he would resume oper-
atoms against Texas, but at the termina-
tion of the Diaz revolution Gen. Servan-
do Canales, warm and tried friend of
Americans, obtained command of Tam
aulipas. He at once arrested Cortina,
threw him in prison, and would have
shot him but for the interference of
President Diaz.
Cortina is now broken-down old man,
under surveillance in the city of Mexi-
co, where he lives on a mere competen-
CIV, his stock and ranches having been
confiscated and sold to help indemnify
the sufferers from his raids. OF his
former self there is little left but a
proud mendicant, Boosting and beg
ging.

who is much given to visiting beer sa-

was walking through the hall, when
he saw Toms coat on the hat-rack, SO

of the investigating committee seemed
convincing, for he bawled out in an
