Oscar Wilde and Jos.

l asked Pryor about the buncOing Of
Oscar Wilde by Hungry Joe. Said he:
81 saw Wilde give Joe the check over
at the Brunswick, but Joe got away
before l could interfere. l came at
once to the Second National B3sk and
told the cashier not to pay Wilde's
check if presented, but send tor me.
1t wasn't twenty minutes until / was
sent for. and there was Hungry Joe
himself with the check. OF course he
gave up. Inspector Byrnes took all
the credit of the affair nevertheless,
and never got any credit in the mat
ter at all. Hungry Joe got $4,000 in
cash and checks out of the president of
a large bank at Montreal, who was a
guest at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but
when told him the banker was our
guest Joe gave up like little man.
He came pretty near getting $3.50 out
Of General John A. Logan once. The
general was in one of the rooms on
the ground floor on the Twenty-third
street side of the house where the
ladies' entrance is located. The boy
at the door came and told me that the
general had gone into his room accom-
panied by bunco man. l went
around and knocked at the door.
Hungry Joe was just going away, but
! barred the door and asked the gem
eral If he had given the fellow any
money. The general was inclined to
get nettled at my question, and blurted
out that the young man was the son of
the president of the bank in Chicago
where the generals account was kept.
I said: why general the man is n
thief, common thief He would
scarcely believe me. But presently
Hungry Joe took $50 out of his pocket,
which he got from Logan, handing it
back said | W 'on to him and the
general might as we'll have his eyes
opened The general had given him
$50 and was going to give him 800
the next day. This story of Logan
has never been told before. "-Cin

Shoes for 5 portSmen.

A Florida correspondent of Outing
gives the following useful Instructions:
Tweed clothes of light color and
loosely-woven texture should be worn
for Florida sporting, as it is warm
shooting there even in midwinter.
When shooting or outing generally it
is much better TO increase the thick
ness and warmth of the underclothing
as the GOODNESS of weather renders
such advisable than to cucumber ones
movements by heavy coats and trou-
sers. A pair of thick, obtained grain
leather knee boots, with legs made
narrow as permissible, to be worn with
thick-ribbed long hose, will be found
the best shooting to be used in the
Florida bottoms. The long boots,
coming over the buttonings OF
the snug-fitting knee-breeches OF
whipcord- knickerbockers, mind
you where they fasten just
above the swell of the cali, will be
found the most comfortable and con-
sistent rig, whether splashing through
the sloppy prairies, along the river
after snipe, or tramping the waste
fields in the clearings between the pine
woods. Should you wear ankle boots
and the baggy knickerbockers, always
don pair of thick leathern leggings
as an indispensable precaution against
the musical and larksome RATHER.
"A day with the alligators is not
bad sport when properly undertaken
and provided for; and the hide, teeth
and feet will put you in possession OF
much valuable material to be made in
to bags, leggings, slippers, shoes,
whistles and gun-racks. But since the
utility of the gators hide has been
discovered, they, too. are fast dis
appearing from the places where they
formerly abounded."

Dyers, being exposed to wet and a
constant temperature of one hundred

catarrhs and rheumatism. The fluids
in which their hands are immersed
produce skin eruptions and alterations

Laundresses suffer from exposure to
extreme heat, and are as rule
anamic. Vernois has noticed an

Hibernian Blunders.

An lrishman, testifying in a police
court, was asked to explain why he
had 'sshown the white feather" on a
certain occasion. "'Tis better to be a
coward for five minutes than dead all
your life," he replied. Another Irish
man, while accompanying fishing
party, had a bad fall down a steep
mountain slope. Picking himself up,
he devoutly exclaimed: "Glory be to
God that l wasn't walking back over
the mountains dead man,
The bumor of these blunders lies in
the inability of the speakers to regard
life as excluding death, and death as
excluding life. But neither Of them is
a nonsensical expression, on the con-
trary, each illustrates what an Irish
writer says of Irish blunders: They
are frequently humorous hyperboles,
and present very often the most ener-
getic mode OF expressing the speakers
opinion
An Irish peasant talks of ga
sthrong weakness" and says that ''the
water is dry in the river" and tells
you that "the only way to prevent
what's past is to put stop to it before
it happens. He will confess, II can
always remember things in advance, /"
Or, There / sat expecting that every
moment would be my next" and de-
scribe drops of rain as varying in size
'.from shilling to eighteen pence. Z"
These expressions are "bulls," but
they are also picturesque plumbers
such as could be made only by a peas
antry gifted with wit, metaphor and
ingenuity. Even the cutters of turf
and drawers of whisky are orators"
wrote Maria Edgewortb of the Irish
peasants, more than eighty years ago.
A writer, on whose essay in the
London Spectator we have drawn,
points out that there are bulls OF act
ion and conduct as we'll IS spoken
bulls.
An Irish lady, observing that her
bed-curtains had caught fire, hurried
away to fetch water. She caught up a
can OF water. and as she was about to
pour it upon the flames remembered
that It was hot water, and mentally de-
cided that it could be of no use. An
Irish school-boy placed a cup full of
coffee on a sloping desk. Finding that
it overiowed, he sought to remedy his
difficulty by turning the cup around.
An Irish tenent wishing to raise the
roof Of his cabin began by excavating
the floor.
An Irishman. on gentleman saying
to him: "How did you like that whis-
ky, Pat?n at once replied: "Sure, your
honor, it has made another man OF me,
and that other man would like a glass,
too" A temperance lecturer might
make that bull do good service In
illustrating the fact that ''the first
glass does the mischief.

Virginia mountains. lie got lost,
travelled around all day until, tired
out, he sat down on a log to rest.
After sitting there awhile he thought
the log moved and jumped up and en-
amined. He found to his unspeakable
amazement that it was a large snake.
He ran off about fifty yards nd fired
at it, but the ball glanced off without
hurting the snake. The monstrous
reptile raised its head about fifty feet.
but Mr.. Klinkingbeard soon had anOth-
er load in his gun, and this time he
aimed at the smooth place around the
neck where there seemed to be nc
scales. This made the snake awfully
sick and it spewed up canoe and niEe
Indians.

A Chemical Experiment.

The Practical Teacher gives the fol-
lowing simple experiment in chemis-
try, which any child can try: Cut
three leaves of red cabbage into small
pieces, and after placing them in a
basin pour pint of boiling water over
them, letting them stand an hour;
then pour off the liquid into decan-
ter. It will be of fine blue color.
Then take four wine-glasses-into one
put six drops Of strong vinegar; into
another six drops solution of soda; into
the third the same quantity of strong
solution OF alum; and let the fourth
glass remain empty. Fill up the
glasses from the decanter, and the liq-
uid pored into the glass containing
the acid will quickly change to beau
tiful red; that poured with the soda
will be fine green; that poured into
the alum will turn to a pretty purple,
while that poured into the empty glass
will remain unchanged.

A VANISHED RACE.
Queer Sculpture and Painting en-
the Rocks in West Virginia.


the Rocks in West Virginia.
The erection Of tho new Government
dam in the river near Charleston. w.
Va, has hidden from sight the famous
picture rock" one OF the familiar
landmarks of the Kanawha valley. and
one which has occasioned much wonder
and fruitless speculation. The rock
was located near tho mouth of Paint
creek, and, while the river was in its
natural condition, was visible at low
water every summer. Some years ago
part of the stone was removed for
building purposes, an act Of vandalism
which should have been prevented at
all hazards, and now the remainder is
submerged at all seasons of the yea.
When whole, the surface Of the
pictured rock" was about twenty BY
thirty feet in extent, and was covered
with representations of animals, fish
and fowls, carved deep In the smooth
surface. On one side were the figures
of a man and bear, the latter being
about life size. Near by was buffalo
track, and short distance away was
the representation OF large fish and a
number of footprints, evidently repre-
senting the imprint of child's feet.
The work was evidently prehistoric
people, as the traditions of the valley
are that the representations were on
the stones when the first white men
visited the region, and that they then
bore unmistakable signs of great age,
being water worn and smooth.
The vicinity of Paint creek is rich
in aboriginal and prehistoric relics,
and q volume might be written OF the
discoveries which have been made
there. Almost every excavation brings
TO light something of interest TO the
antiquarian, and there is every evil
dence that in past ages the valley was
thickly peopled by an unknown race.
probably contemporary with the mound
builders of the Ohio valley.
At Moorefield, from the time of the
first settlement, the cliff known us the
Gap Rocks, in the Petersburg Gap, has
born the gigantic representation of Il
common fox. The picture is upon the
sheer and inaccessible face of the rock,
some thirty feet from the top and near
ly one hundred feet from the bottom,
ind being colored u dingy yellow, in
sharp contrast TO the brown stone.
Recently Glen McGill, of Ohio, who
was visiting Cell Beans, went ont to
view the fox, accompanied by Mrs.
Beans. After an inspection from the
bottom of the cliff the two men ascend
cd to the top. and making rope fast
to II tree, McGlll lowered himself
dOwd to the fox. He describes IL az
being twelve feet long, and painted
or plastered upon the cliff with q sub
stance resembling earthenware glaze,
which is as hard as the rock itself.
The surface of the fox is quite rough,
as though the stuff was roughly smear
ed on by hand before it hardened.
There was a high wind blowing at the
time McGill made his venture, and he
ran considerable risk He took along
mallet and chisel, intending TO cut
his name on the fox. but was prevent
cd by the force of the wind, which
swung him about at an alarming rate,

terday in the case of Frederick Ryan, who
was fatal J injured on Wednesday after
noon by teing run over on the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington aud Baltimore rail-
road. The jury proceeded to the resi-
dence Of the father of the deceased, on
West Fourth street, and, after viewing
the remains, returned to the coroner's
office, where several witnesses were ex-
amined. Their testimony showed that
Ryan and two other men walked out the
railroad, and that 1t was proposed to get
on freight train that was being made up
and go 10 Baltimore. One of the party
declined to go, but Ryan and a compan-
ion climbed on the cars. Just before
they started this companion got of, and
while they were In motion Ryan also at
tempted TO get of, and fell under the
wheels. After hearing this testimony the
Jury rendered a verdict that Frederick
Ryan was killed by being accidentally
run over by freight train, near the West
Yard, on May goth, 1889.
