IOWa's Walled Lake.
From the Burlington Hawkeye

.s@ From the burlington HaWkeye.
The greatest wonder in the state of
Iowa, aud perhaps in any state, is what
is called the "Walled Lake." in Wright
County, twelve miles north of the Du-
buque & Pacific Railway, and $50 miles
west of Dubuque City. The lake is from
two to three feet higher than the
earth's surface. In some places the
wall is ten feet high, fifteen feet wide
at the bottom, and five feet wide at the
top. The stones used in its construc-
ton vary IN weight from three tons
down to a hundred pounds. There is
an abundance of stones in Wright Coun-
ty, bus surrounding the lake to the ex-
tent OF five or ten miles there are none.
No one can form an idea as to the
means employed TO bring them to the
spot or who constructed it. Around the
entire lake is q belt of woodland half q
mile in width, composed of oak. Il With
this exception the country is rolling
prairie. The trees must have been
planted there at the time of the build
ing of the wall. In the spring Of the
year 1856 there was great storm and
the ice on the lake broke the wall in
several places, and the farmers in the
vicinity were compelled to repair the
damages to prevent inundation, The
lake occupies grand surface of, $500
acres; depth OF water as great as twenty
five feet. The water is clear and cold.
sandy soil and loamy. 1t is singular
that no one has been able to ascertain
where the water comes from nor where
it goes, yet it is always clear and fresh.

Odd Private Charities.
From Conversations in a studio.

From Conversations in Studio.''
For my own part I cannot help feel
ing more admiration for secret, spon-
taneous, unexpected, and even odd
private charities, which seek no reward
and hide out Of sight, than tor those
who were made with great flourish
before the world. For instance there
was B., who in crossing the English Chan
mel fell in with a lonely old lady, whom
he had never seen, and out of pure
kindness of heart he helped her to q
seat and paid her number of little at
tentlons, to make her comfortable, and
finally on arrival, called cab, put her
into it. and said goodbye; and shortly
afterward the old lady died, and to the
establishment of B., she left him all her
money! Now this is what call dear
old lady, and | have never failed since
then to be polite and attentive to every
old lady [ meet in my travels. Then
again, there was the artist whom I
knew in Florence years ago, vino was
struggling through adversely, with no
orders and no hopes of any, when one
day notary came into his studio and
informs him that an old gentleman OPP
posite-an Englishman, of course-has
just died and left him his entire for
tune. "But didn't know him; it must
be mistake" said A. "But he knew
you, and it is no mistake" said tie
notary; land though he never spoke
to you, he used to watch you, and he
informed himself about you, and then
made his will In your favor, and / am
come to announce the fact to you" I
need not say that from that day for
ward be had more orders than he could
execute. But this is the way of the
world. Still another person I know

Sham Antiquities in Paris.
From the. Jewellers Weekly.

From the, jewelers. Weekly.
There is a great passion nowadays
for antique articles, and it has given
birth to a world of sham antiquities.
An army of handicraftsmen are busily
engaged in the manufacture of these
wares, which are palmed off on confd-
ing people as being 200 or 300 years old
and date from any desired landmark in
history.
Old chairs, old tables, old silver, old
jewelry and old anything, even if made
last week, have great value in the eyes
of many persons satisfied with an
tiquity Gin appearance. Worm eaten
furniture is now one of the RACES. This
stuff is easily produced with the aid of
bird shot, which is fired into 1t. Old
houses, torn down, furnish worm eaten
timber, which is turned to good account
in tabricating old sets Of furniture.
Old door keys, medieval bellows,
gilt flambeaux in Louis XIV style,
warming pans and brass tenders of the
fourteenth century, candelabra, and
even old shutters, find purchasers as
fast as these antique war es can be made
by skillful artisans in out of the way
places of the gay capital. Old coins
and Regency clocks are cast by the ton
every day in Paris, but they are very
scarce and bring fabulous prices.

HumbIing an Autocrat.
From the Detroit Free Press.

a
The autocrat of the seaside resort is
not the man with his millions but the
hotel cook. The clerk in the Office may
imagine that he owns most of the earth.
and the head waiter may feel that he
has warranty deed of the remainder,
but when you come right down to facts
the boss of the kitchen is the boss of
the ranch. He is the unseen power be-
hind the throne to which all bow.
At the hotel the soup had invariably
been seasoned so high with cayenne
pepper that not one out of ten could
more than taste it. The same was true
of the deviled clans. One day | make
kick and in five minutes I had half a
dozen guests with me. We interviewed
the landlord and his reply was:
Il have nothing to say about 1t. You
must 60 to the chief cook"
We sought an interview with that
magnate. He was a colOred man with
the dignity OF d Roman senator. We
made our complaint, and he replied:

"Can't help dat"
"Do you refuse to make change ?''

to tell me what to do" G
We returned to the veranda and went
into convention. Every minute added
to our numerical strength, and in quar-
ter of an hour we number forty men.
Then it was unanimously
'sResolued, That ifthe cook refuses to use less
pepper we seek some other hotel.''
Delegates were appointed to wait on
the landlord, and he replied:
Gentlemen, l am sorry. but dare
not interfere"
Forty rooms were vacated, forty
trunks packed, and then mine host
wilted. He called in the cook, and
though that individual attempted to
stand on his dignity, he had to wilt.
By this time the excitement was in
tense, and had the forty gone they
would have oeen followed by hundred
more. "Less pepper" was the watch
word all over the house, and it meant a
great deal to that landlord. We
kicked, we saw, we conquered. and the
next soup and CLAIMS exactly suited the
popular taste. The cook is still the nm
seen power behind the throne, but he
has skipped a cog, and no one is afraid
Of him any longer.

A Strange Metamorphosis.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
Students of Ovid have often perplexed
themselves in an endeavor to find out
what could possibly be the origin of the
stories he has told SO well. What
could possibly have suggested to him or
to those who furnished material for his
tales the miraculous change of 10 or of
Daphne? The case which is exciting SO
much attention at the Salpetriere just
now may perhaps suggest a solution.
A pretty girl of 15, fair-haired, blue
eyed and pleasaDt-featured. is at inter-
walls transformed into a cat; that is to
say, she has periodic fit of insanity
which takes that form. One who has
seen her says: 'Suddenly, as you look
at her, her whole physiognomy changes.
She becomes hard, her eyes are con-
vulsed In their sockets, a grimace de-
forms her features, and her mouth is
if on four paws. She tries every open
ing to escape, and with incredible agil-
ity she darts under chairs and tables; if
one tries to stop her she reproduces
exactly the pf #, pff # of the cat in an
ger"
At other times, in less irritated
mood, she will play with a kitten with
ball of paper, or come to the on-looker
to be caressed or spoken to. If
alarmed, she arches her back exactly
as cat does. This lasts about twenty
minutes, after which she RECEIVERS her
senses. No recollection remains of her
metamorphosis, and she is commonly
distressed to find her hands all
scratched and her dress soiled. Prof.
Charcot, who considers the case unique,
is nevertheless sanguine Of being able
to effect cure, and it will be most in
teresting to watch the result of his treat

Justice of the supreme court of Cali
fornia and has always been prominent
figure in the political history of the
state. The killing of Broderick caused
at the time deep personal resentment
against Terry by portion of the peo-
pie of the state which threat
ened to terminate his career in
California; but he always had
number of adherents, and
remained in the state, though he has
only once or twice been befole the peo-
pie for position. He was married to
Sarah Althea Hill while prosecuting her
claim against the Sharon estate. This
brought him into resentful attitude to-
ward Justice Field, who, last year rem
dered decision in the United States
Srcut court na in this w, city, denying
Mrs. Terry created scene in cou' dur
ing the reading of the decision, arg
ing Justice Field with being corrupt,
and as she refused to remain quiet,
Justice Field directed that she be
removed from court. When deputy
attempted to carry out the order of
the court, she became involved in q
personal quarrel with the official, and
Judge Terry interfered, drawing dag
ger from his vest. He was disarmed,
and both Terry and his wife were adj
judged in contempt and committed to
Jail. In the meantime, Justice Field
went to Washington to resume his
duties on the bench, returning to this
city six weeks ago.
Newspaper ARTICLES were printed init
mating that it would be dangerous for
Justice Field and Judge Terry to meet
personally, as it was thought the latter
might insult the former, while the fact
was also recognized that Justice Field
would be quick to resent an at,
tack from Terry, knowing it could
only result fatally to one or
the other, in view of the latter's record.
If Judge Terry had intended to provoke
Justice Field and draw weapon before
the latter could turn, is of course, not
known, as Deputy Nagle, who sat oppo-
site, prevented this by firing, resulting
in the instant death of Terry.
Chief of Police Crowley received q
dispatch from Sheriff Cunningham, of
Stockton, to arrest Judge Field and
Deputy Marshal Nagle on the arrival of
the train at Oakland. Capt. Lees at
once left for Oakland and will take them
into custody unless they leave the train
at some point along the road.
David s. Terry was born in Todd
County. KY, in 1923. He served in the
Taxas army under sam Houston. He
came to California in lS49 and settled in
Calaveras County. In 1855 he was elect
ed justice of the supreme court Cali
fornia on the native American ticku1 and
upon the death of Chief Justice Murray
in 1857 Judge Terry became chief JUS
tice. He was opposed to the vigilance
committee of 1856, and stabbed one of
the members of the committee who had
attempted to arrest Maloney, a
friend of Terry. Terry was held
by the vigilantes, but was
afterwards released. He killed
Senator Broderick in 1859 as a result of
political differences, Terry belonging to
what was known as the "Chivalry"
wing of the Democratic party. In 1880
Terry was defeated az a Hancock elect
or, although his associates were elected.
September 8. 1888, he was sent to jail for
six months for contempt of court by
Justice Field.
