The uD~popularlty of Col. Shepard at
the moment is so intense and so wide
spread that to ignore it would be to me-
glect one Of the most impressive facts In
New York life says a correspondent. The
controversy over the affairs of the Fifth
Avenue Transportation company is of
purely local interest, but the violence Of
the stockholders feelings against the colo.
mel is almost beyond belief. Many OF them
cannot mention his name without execra-
tons. He is, indeed, a general topic Of
conversation and the stories told of him are
as numerous as the ancient anecdotes
about Webster or Clay. One story, told
with dates and names and much evidence
OF authenticity, may be quoted, perhaps,
without offense: That the colonel request
ed, not long since, ono of the ministers in
Turkey to make the following representa-
ton to the Sublime Porte-that Col. Shep-
ard, of the Mail and Express, would give
500. 900 or more as a free gilt to the sui.
tan, if he would become a Christian. 1t
would be difficult to illustrate in fewer
words personal devotion, belief in the in.
finite ,potentialities OF money, eIuberani
interests in ones profession, unskrinking
disregard of co~nventionality. and vast but
incoherent imagination.

SLACK, of the Sun. hastens to depre-
cate personal journalism. and yet he has
been guilty of more personal journalism
than any man who has ever edited a paper
in Wyoming. At the same time when it
has suited his purposes he has been more
economical in the use OF facts than any
litor we have ever known.

programme which you lay before me

tell you, in confidence, that hate
Prussia and | love France as my sec
ond fatherland. Part of my family
resides in France; myself have lived
there during the later years of my life,
and here | am known as the French
man. But what you tell me about
assuming the presidency of q Spanish
republic is a chimera. Spain will have
nothing to do with a republic. The
real Conservative party in this coun-
try is very powerful and il shrinks
from a republic because it has no con-
fidence in republicans"
"This means, then, said Count Ker-
airy, "that the rumor of the approach
ing call TO the throne Of the duke of
Aosta is we'll founded? should, new
ertheless, have expected Italy to re-
member few of the obligations which
she owes TO us"
"Ahl" said General Prim, "Italy
would no doubt move if Spain were

only say that if you can manage that
Italy shall move first, Spain will fol-
low her."
Count Kerstry begged Prim not
TO sacrifice the idea of a republic,
but TIE general remained firm. With
smile he said 8: Il have preferred the
part of monk to that of Cromwell /;
and never, while live, shall Spain
become republic. That is my deter
mination."
Count Keratry, much disappointed,
returned to France. On the 10th of
November the duke of Aosta was
elected king of Spain by the Cortes,
and little later General Prim, as he
was leaving the chamber, was NOR
tally wounded by Carlist sssassins.
He died three days afterwards, on the
S0th of December, the very day on
which King Amadeus landed at Car

Effects of Hashes sh.

A NJ. Field has recently recounted
his experience under the influence OF
hasheesh. lie smoked the hasheesh
until he felt a profound sense of we'll
being, and then put the pipe aside.
After few minutes he seemed to be-
come two persons; he was conscious of
his real self reclining on lounge, and
of why he was there; his double was
in vast building made of gold and
mar bles, splendidly brilliant and beau
tiful beyond all description. He felt
an extreme qualification and believed
himself in heaven. This double per-
sonality suddenly vanished, but reap
peared in few minutes. His real self
was undergoing rhythmich spasms
throughout his body the double was
marvellous instrument, producing
sounds of exquisite sweetness and per-
feet rhythm. Upon another occasion
sleep and waking came so rapidly that
they seemed TO be confused. His dOu-
BILE seemed TO be a sea, bright and toss
ing as the wind blew; then CONT
nent.
Again he smoked double dose, and
sat at his table, pencil in hand, to note
its effects. This time he lost all con-
ception of time. He rose TO open q
door; this seemed q million years.
He went to pacify an angry dog,
and endless ages seemed TO have gone
on his return. Conceptions of space
retained their nominal character. He
felt an unusual fullness of mental i'm
pressions-enough to fill volumes.
lie understood clairvoyance, hypnot-
ism and all else. He was not one man
or two, but several men living at the
same time in different places, with
different occupations. He could not
write one word without hurrying to
the next, his thoughts flowing with
enormous rspidity. The few words
he did write meant nothing. This
experience admirably illustrates the
close relationship between states of
real sanity and transitory affections
induced by psychic poisons.

Making and Counting Dimes.
Plain Talk.

The United States Mint in San
Francisco is said to be the largest
institution of the kind in the world.
Just at the present time there is a
lively demand for silver dimes, and
two of the money presses have been
for some time running exclusively on
this coin. The demand is SO great
that these presses are not stopped even
on Sunday. The process of dime
making is an interesting one. The
silver bullion is first melted and run
into two pound bars. These in turn
are run through immense rollers and
flattened out to the thickness of the
coin. These silver strips are then
passed through machine which cuts
them into proper size for the presses,
the strips first having been treated
with kind of tallow to prevent their
being scratched in their passage
through the cutters. The silver
pieces are then put into the feeder of
the printing presses, and are fed to
the die by automatic machinery at
the rate of 100 per minute, $4,000
dimes being turned out in q regular
working day of eight hours. AS the
smooth pieces are pressed between
the ponderous printing dies they re-
oeive the lettered and fgured impress

A Huge Snake Fighting q Seal.
Buenos Ayres standard.

BuenOs Ayres Standard.
l was padding along in small
canoe on one of the numerous tributa-
ries of the Rio Parana, looking for
ducks or anything worth shooting,
when suddenly | heard behind me a
fearful yell and great splashing in
the water. A bend in the river pre-
vented me seeing what il was, but,
thinking ii was some tapirs or car
pinchos bathing, / turned my canoe In
order to get shot at them, and saw
q huge snake hanging from tree with
his body curled two or three times
round an unfortunate seal. The water
around them was foaming, and every
now and then the seal and the fore part
of the snake would disappear below
the surface and remain below for sev-
eral seconds, until in a moment the
snake would twist his body into sort
of cOrk-screw shape and lift the seal
right out of the water, and they would
remain swinging in the air, only sup
ported by the snakes tail. At one
time saw the second seal Jump clean
out of the water to catch hold of the
snake, and all three remained in the
air, roaring and yelling most fearfully
for some time, when suddenly they
dropped into the water again, the
snake never losing his hold of the tree.
As none of the combatants seemed to
be in the least affected by my ap-
proach, put my canoe within some
ten or twelve yards OF them, SO as TO
have a good shot at the snake next
time they appeared, and had scarcely
laid down my paddle and caught up
my gun when they came up again.
aimed right at the snake where he had
curled himself round the seal and gave
him both barrels. The effect could
not have been greater. The snake let
go of the tree and fell with the whole
length of his body into the water,
splashing me all over, and then
the three disappeared. After about a
minute both seals came up on the
other side of the canoe, looking at me
and shaking their heads in the same
way as dogs do when they come out
of water They had both white
breasts, and noticed that one of them
was bleeding from a wound in the
neck, but whether from my shot or
from bite of the snake, | could not
tell. The snake little later crawled
up the "bsrrancs" out of the water, as
il nothing was the matter with him,
SO gave him one shot more, which
made him disappear in the bushes,
where l, being alone in the canoe,
thought it more prudent not to fol-
low him. lie was very big one, for
from the branch to which he had
his tail attached down to the water
was a distance of some fourteen feet,
and when he fell his tail nearly
reached my canoe. do not under
stand, though, how he would have
managed to eat one of the seals, each
one of which was the size of an ordi-
nary man.
