The Prince OF Wales.

saw Wales in 1860, when he came
to American, and four or five men
were running to be ruler of our coun-
try-Lincoln, Douglas, Bell and
Breckenridge, writes George Alfred
Townsend. Seen to-day, the Prince
is a man of above medium height,
stoutish, thick-chested, bearded dark
brown, with abundant hair, except on
the crown, where he is nearly bald.
He has large, spout-like nose, a
rather sybarite face, with large cheeks
and lips, the upper lip especially
coarse, I thought, though he had it
covered with hair. His complexion is
not very clear, but not muddy; his
eyes are blue, and of kind, considerate
expression, but the general expression
of his countenance is neutral, or, I
might say foreign, like q stranger who
does not pretend to understand things
around him and is merely being enter
tanned. He looks no more than his
age, and looks more respectable by
training than by inheritance; he APP
pears better man than his earthly
features would require. remarked
to Mr.. Crawford, who concurred in the
remark, that the Prince of Wales look
ed like q rich German banker of Jew
ish blood in the midst of his congenial
family. The Semitic expression is
pretty distinct. The eyes of the
Prince are those of q man accustomed
to reflect upon financial transactions.
His curiosity is not marked; if he look
ed at any one it was at some lady He
was wen-bred, felt his situation, and
was natural and modest 1 should

CHAPTER III.

YOU SHOULD MARRY AN HEIREss.'
It was later than usual when I awoke
next morning: too late to join the public
breakfast table; quite too late, alas, to
catch nv train. Ordering, therefore, q
cup of tea to my room, dressed delib-
erately; the weather had undergone a
complete change, the sun shone bril-
liantly, the wind had lulled.
Dr. Gascoigne was always in his con-
sulting-room between 10 and IL O'Clock,
and, when not engaged with patients, it
was his custom to admit me. I sought
and found him on this occasion, as had
hoped, alone.
Good morningI" said he cheerfully,
motioning me to chair and laying down
the book he was reading. Il am glad the
sunshine induced You to remain.

do with it," / answered. In the first

well, Doctor, you yourself have no
marked what an uninteresting set OF peo-
DIE have been staying here ever since I
came. Not any concerning whom one
could possibly feel the smallest amount
of curiosity. The case is quite changed
now. The new arrivals-that woman and
that girl who came last night-Ars. and
Miss Hargreaye-
Pausing, looked steadily ct him. He
was seated opposite to me. The morning
light fell full upon his open countenanos.
What interest can you have in the new
srrivals?" he asked. DO You know
them?" And, as he spoke. he leaned back
insiy ~ st him.

Come in and I will make con-
tract with you to bury you when you
die" said an undertaken who has been
in the business for nearly half CEN
fury to q reporter.
do You ever make any such con-
tracts as that?" asked the reporter.
"Yes, indeed; I have made good
many in my time You see, there are
many peculiar people in this world,
and with some of them it extends even
to the manner in which they shall be
buried. 1 have made written con-
tracts with many prominent people
who have lived and died in this city,
in which all the details of the matter
were entered into, such as the kind of
wood the coffin should be made of, the
kind and color of the trimmings, etc.,
with just as much care and considera-
ton as are usual in business transac-
tions. I remember one prominent old
citizen of this city who wanted cof
fin made of cherry, with block of the
same material for his head to rest on.
/ made a contract with him to make it,
but, tell you, had hard time find
ing the material. But succeeded at
last, and made the coffin according to
directions, and kept it in my shop for
three or four years before the owner
needed it.
During the war great, big, lum-
bering four-horse wagon drove up in
front of my place and stopped. The
driver came in and said he wanted to
buy metallic coffin for his own use
when he died. He said that he lived
at Cumberland Gap, KY, and that he
had a fancy to be buried in that kind
of n coffin, and, as he knew he conld
not get one where he lived, he thought
he would get one while in the city. as
he had such good chance to take it
home. I took his measure and sold
him a coffin, which he placed in his
wagon and drove off with as little con-
Germ as if he had purchased barrel of
flour. - Louisville Courier-JournaL

w. G. McCandless, Cottonwood Falls;

committee was appointed committee
on needed legislation to secure dog
law and uniform wolf bounty law from
the next legislature.
Fifteen new members were added to
tie rolls.
A feeling Of confidence was manifested
by all present. The sheep business is
reported to be in Q prosperous condi-
ton, and it is believed that it will be
only a few years until it will rank in
importance with other live stock inter-
ests of Kansas. 1t seems to be fact
that during the past three years sheep
men Of Kansas have made more money
than any other class of stock-men. It
is the unanimous opinion of sheep-men
that Kansas has more natural advan-
tages for the sheep-men than any other
state in this latitude.

removed with his stolen money to Hon
