The story of the mules is interesting
to show how property can be tied up in
litigation. Somewhere about 1864 Nj.

of this city, owning fine team. which
was engaged in hauling freight to the
mountains, and horse and dray. which
the owner used about the city. Hard
luck came upon the pioneer, however.
and along in 1866, when G. G. Rynerson
was sheriff, an attachment was issued
against Mir. Capurro's property, and the
mule team and horse, and they were
taken In charge by the officer.
The owner claimed pair of mules as
exempt property under law exempt
ing pair of animals for teamSter,
and also set up a claim to horse and
dray, which was the means of his liveli-
hood. Then commenced legal fight,
and in little while the Stockton man

his fight for the horse and dray, but the
pair of mules, claimed as exempt for a
teamster, were tied up in litigation,
which has never been settled
The sheriff then i'll Office held the AMI
mails under writ Of attachment, and
when he went out of office in 1867 the
mules were delivered to his successor,
Freeman Mills. Two years later Sheriff
Mills gave the animals to the next sher-

Sheriff Cunningham went into Office,
the mules were given over with the
books and records and property under

Sheriff Cunningham placed the mules
in charge of r. L. Scott, as the sheriff'S

ROMANCE OF A CABBAGE.
One Englishman Took Farm and
the Other a Pretty Wife.


Chicago Herald
Romance and the rose go hand in
hand, and the dainty violet and the
modest lily have often opened the por-
tails of love, but it has been left to Cali
fornia to produce the only cabbage that
has ever led to real romance that wound
up in a wedding.
Eighteen years ago, according to the
unQueStiOnable statement of Granville
w. Alexander, a grain merchant of San
francisco, as reported by the San
Francisco Examiner, there stood IN
front of the door of one of San Fran
ciScO'S real estate dealers a cabbage
from San Bernardino county weighing
ninety-two pounds, and said to be the
largest ever raised. While this produc-
ton of California's greatness was on eX-
hibtion the Oregon express landed from
England two Britons, so fresh from
their native soil that they walked along
the dry and dusty streets with SurtoutS
down to their ankles and their trousers
rolled up to meet their coats. They
were both bound for Australia. Pass
ing along, they espied the wonderful
cabbage. Both men stopped short. Up
went two single eyeglasses.
"By Jove, old boy, but that's a
NOUSCuly l"ISC ,QOIlcuGIkEOWI''
''Doosedly large" replied the second
surprised son of Albion, and then they
both went in and inquired of the real
estate man where it was grown
Both men were wealthy. They were
cousins, and while unknown to them
the busy hand of Fate was now at work:
it only seemed to the curiosity-seekers
that IN deciding that life would be mis-
spent unless they saw the land upon
which the cabbage grew that they were
Obeying the idle whim of idle gentle
men in going to San Bernardino to do
so. And so they went.
Engllshmen as rule are not garru-
lous, and these two friends were no ey-
ception. Once in San Bernardino, they
were directed to the farm where The
cabbage grew. They remained two
weeks. At the end OF that time one of
them said to the rancher:
II want so much Of your land in a
certain section. How much is it
worth?"
-Four hundred thousand dollars.,'
1t was paid for. The other friend said
to the rancher:
"Your daughter is very beautiful, and
love her. l want to make her my
wife" =
Two months ago there was a wedding
at the ranch. There were number of
people present, friends of the family,
and the groom threw aside his taciturn-
ity long enough at the supper tablerto
tell how the big cabbage had led to bis
happiness. IL.

Rich magnanimously doubles her
salary. He makes generous promises
for the future. The actress has started
on the road to fame and fortune.
One day London IS convulsed by a
startling bit of gossip. This is how you
will tiud it chronicled in Swifts Journal
to Stella. under date July 6, 172S: 1.-The
Duke of Bolton has run away with Polly
Peachum. having settled S4OO per year
on her during pleasure, and upon dis
agreement $500 more"
No disagreement, however, occurs.
The duke is a married man living apart
from his wife. He remains constant to
his mistress, acknowledges her children
as his own, and finally, on the death of
his wife, in 1751, he marries her.
The poor little waif and outcast thus
became Duchess of Boston, recognized
member of one of the proudest and
NOblest of English houses.

AN ORIGINAL PARROT.
The Clever Trick of an Unsuccess-
full Bird Dealer.

1uI olfu OcdIcTs
Lippincotts Magazine.
There was of late advertised in Lon
don parrot who could make original
observations-not more slavish copy"
but the most apt remarks. A parrot
fancier answered this advertisement,
and the advertiser brought his bird.
He was not beautiful, and he did not
look accomplished. He no sooner
opened his mouth. however, than his
genius discovered itself.
''Supposing that this bird is all that
you say of it,'' inquired the possible
purchaser. what do you want for it?''
Fifty pounds" said the dealer. MAKE
it guineas! exclaimed the parrot. The
enraptured bird fancier bought him at
once.
/ Weeks rolled on, and the bird never
said another word.not even that soli-
/ tary sentence, snake it guineas,"
|. he had learned by rote-as was the case
+ with that world-famous bird that cried,
/ "What precious lot of parrotsp' ION
/ finding himself in bird show and for
evermOre held his peace. He sent for
| the dealer. and thus frankly addressed
/ him: "Of course, l have been taken in.
|! This Internal bird is dumb-can't even
say What's o'clock?' or Pretty Poll. , :"
HE only processes to make original
observations put in the dealer.
Nonsense! He does nothing but
scratch himself. You have got your
money; at least tell me how he con
. trived to Make it guineasp at so appro-
pirate moment. I'll forgive you if
/ you'll only tell me the truth"
/ Very good, sir" Then he didn't
say it all; said it for him. Pm ven
/ trilOquist. My parrots all make orig
inal observations, but only in my pres
ence."
Then the parrot-fancier shook hands
with the dealer and gave him a list of
other parrot-fanciers (his personal
friends), who also in due time were
taken in, which, Of course, was very
soothing,

play would be listened to. Then, in the
midst of the tumult, the curtain slowly
fell. and the heroine of the occasion,
blinded by her tears, was led Off the
stage by her future husband.
One of the countess warm friends in
later years was the Duchess of st. AL
bans. They had liked each other ever
since, in 1898 or thereabouts, they had
met on the stage in Drury Lane. The
Duchess of st. AlbanS was then Harriet
Mellon. She was several years younger
that the future countess.
Like the Duchess of Bolton, she was
lllegltlmate. the pOsthumOuS child of
one Lieut.. Mellon, of the royal navy.
Her mother was the wardrobe woman in
a company of actors. The little girl
grew up a striking beauty, and soon
gave evidence of hiStrionic powers.
Her performance of some childish parts
in this strolling company attracted the
attention of Richard BrinSley Sheridan.
He obtained her position in Drury
Lane, and she became famous as Lydia
LanguiSh.
And there is the Hon. Mrs. Welles-
ley, who is still known TO the frequent
ers of London theaterS as Kate Vaughan.
She it was who introduced the Gaiety
Skirt-dancing to the public, and who
first wore black hose and black gloves
upon the variety stage. She has climbed
higher now; she acts in low comedy
parts. She cOnceals her charms in con-
ventional dresses. but she is the same
light-hearted, vivacious and brilliant
Kate Vaughan of the past.
The history of her marriage is an odd
one.
Hon. Col. Frederick Wellesley is a
granddaughter of the great Duke of
Wellington. He was a married man
when he fell in love with the bright
little dancer. He took her over to
Vienna. where he was a military at
tache.
One day, while out driving with her,
he had the temerity to salute the En-
press of Austria as she whirled by in
her carriage. For this offense he was
degraded from the rank in the army
and from his official position. His wife
sued for a divorce and obtained it.
Then he married Miss Vaughan, and
has been quietly and comfortably living
upon the proceeds of her acting.
There are two actresses in England
whom the stage came very near losing.
The first is Phyllis Broughton, whose
St. Paul daily globe., 1890-12-21

suit for breach of promise of marriage
against Lord Lurgan was a nlne-days'
wonder. The second, and better known,
is Miss FOrtescuc, whose similar suit
against Lord GarmOyle was the Sensa-
tiOn of more than fortnight.
Her betrOthal to Lor Garmoyle made
her famous. Then came the additional
notOriety of the breaking off of the
match, and finally all London went wild
when she brought breach of promise
suit, which was finally compromised for
91O,5OO.
The Billion sisters were well-known
dancers and high kickeIs, who had ap-
peared with considerable applause in
the music halls of London and else
where. They had never been seen be-
hind American footlights.
They had pretty faces, Belle Billions
especially, which possessed some of the
melancholy and poetic charm, the deep,
Randolph ChurchilPs portraits.
But the Semblance is only surface
one. Belle Billion, it is no uncharita-
bleness TO state, was neither virtuous
nor refined nor educated. Yet to-day
she is the wife of Lord Dunlo, and the
prospective countess of Clancarty in
the peerage of Ireland, and Baroness
KilcOnnel and MarciOneSS of Huesdep
in the Netherlands.
She may soon be able to kick her
heels in Garbally house, in Ballinasloe,
and at Ballydavid, in Waterford. the
ancient family seats Of that grim old
Earl of Clancarty, who hates and dcspise
her as he hates and despises his Irish
tenants, who hate and fear him in re-
turn.
To be ssure, she has not yet with
drawn from the stage. but she has re-
manned only in order to support the
noble young imbecile whom she mar
carty dies (he is an old man who may
be summoned at any momentl, she will
abandon the fOotlightS forever.
Dolly Tester has withdrawn. She is
now the marchioness of Aylesbury,
ViscounteSs Savernake, countess of
Cardigan. Countess Bruce and Baroness
Brudenell of Stanton-Wyvil, in the
county of Leicester. She is blessed
with almost as many domiciles as she
has titles; her country seats are Totem
ham Park, Marlborough, Willis. and
JerveauX Abbey, Bedale, Yorkshire.
Her city address is rs Pail Mall.
She has liyerled servants to wait on
her, carriages emblaZoned with all sorts
of curious heraldic animals, to take her
from place to place; she rolls In luxury
and wealth and glory.
And only few years ago she was
Dolly Tester. the ex-barmald, the cele-
brated high-kicker of the London music
halls, whose life was spiced with the oc-
casional variety of an appearance at the

In 1773, at the age of fourteen. she
made her first appearance at a Liver

great success as Lady Townly in 1.-THE
Provoked Husband" In LIT she went
to London, and soon became one of the
greatest of stage favorites.
She was much sought after by the
gilded youth who frequented the green
rooms. But she always bore herself
with discretion. Soon society began to

esses; lords and hOnorables Joined her

Among the men who were most deep
