HORACE GREELY.
Impatient at Interruptlons-The Pre-
ciousness of Time.

Impatient at Interrupti0ns-The Pre-
cieusness of Time.
[Murat Halstead in the Cosmopolitan
A magazine article about Mr.. Greeley,
prepared by one who had the privilege of
knowing him, would seem to lack something
of colo1iug without specimens of personal
anecdote. His nearest friend, those in con-
tact with him and associated in his daily la
bors, were not always sure of an agreeable
reception when they visited him in his den.
He was a furiously hard worker, and his
habit of standing at the case as printer
stuck to him during his forty years as an ed
itor. 1t was his favorite position to be on
his feet when writing; to lean against desk
and scribble in violent haste in almost the
attitude of printer setting type. The par
agraphs were dashed from his pen In chi
rography that only the most educated of the
craft could make intelligible, and the sheets
were thrown into blotted pile, half dozen
of them wet at once with the profusfon of
ink. He was apt to turn his head so as to
bring his glasses sidelong very close to the
paper, and his delicate and beautiful white
hand, stained up to the second joints of the
first two fingers, would traverse the sheets
at a marvellous rate. There would be some
thing in his adjustment of himself that In
dicated to the spectator, waiting for an in
terview, that he was conscious of the press
ence of an intruder, and little irritated
about it, but soberly impatient to get at the
point where he could stop without confusing
his work Of constructing an editorial, and
ascertain in an instant what was wanted.
The way he had of turning around from
his desk and peering through his glasses was
peremptory notice that whatever was to be
said must be out Immediately, or the work
of writing would be resumed with no hope
of another Interruption; and his answer to
any question or proposition was given in his
peculiarly thin, almost feminine voice, and
with piercing abruptness and sharpness of
application of terms. One of his sorest
trials was to have string of gentlemen
brought in to be introduced, and as they
generally did not have much business, his
anxiety to be speedily rid of them would be
manifested in manner not free from evil
dences of fretfulness. This was not impo-
liteness or Indifference to the feelings of
those who called, but an expression of his
appreciation of the value of time. He felt
that time was the main thing he kad, that it
was very precious to him, and that 1t was
offensive and intolerable to deprive him Of
the moments he esteemed SO highly.

Danced Forty miles.
from the Buffalo Courier.I
A young civil engineer, who came home to
Buffalo last week after four months expe-
dition through the Black Hills with q gov
ernment surveying party, told the following
story: "One evening last summer we pitched
camp, and after supper the commanding of.
acer in the party ordered me to mako a de-
tour to certain point further north. The
distance by the road I was told to take was
believed to be about four miles, but to get 1t
exactly I was given pedometer to carry in
my pocket. On the way came to q small
mining settlement, and q dance was going on
in the biggest saloon. As had plenty of
time on my hands I went in and joined in
the dance. and never rested q leg until mid
night. then proceeded to finish my detour,
got back to camp and turned in. In tho
morning I was asked to report, and without
thought I handed over the pedometer.
The officer looked at it in amazement and
then exclaimed: "Forty-four milesl Where
on earth did you 60 last nightG was per-
picked at first myself, and could not explain
my wonderful record, and it was not until
later that I recalled the dance; but I can't
believe that danced forty miles in a single
evening""

The dreadful occurrence in Washington
yesterday will shock the civilized world. At
this distance 1t seems amazing that it could
not have been prevented.
The Berlin president of police issued few
days ago an official warning against the use
of American evaporated apples, which, it is
stated, contain salts of zinc. This warning
having been published in ell German papers.
it cannot fail to react on the American
Wholesale dealers of this article, who have
thus far supplied the German market.
Argentine Republic schemes have met with
. serious setback in the London money mar
ket. A firm which secured concession from
the Argentine parliament, and who were in
May last offered eco, 900 in cash and eco, 900
in fully paid shares for il, and refused the
sum as being utterly inadequate, have been
unable to dispose of their concession in Lon
don for the small sum of $4,000.
The government of India has hitherto been
compelled by law to purchase three copies of
each new book issued in the country, and it
has been discovered that practice has grown
up of printing new books simply for the sake
Of the sale of those three copies, for which
any price within reason could be charged. A
change is about to be made in the law, and
hereafter the publishers will have to present
the copies to the government.
The Supreme court of Wisconsin has an
| interesting question before 1t. Some time
ago certain citizens of Edgerton, Rock
county, applied to the circuit court for 6
writ of mandamus to compel the local
school board to put stop to the reading by
by teachers of the Bible (King James's YER
stony in the local schools. In their answer
the school board declared that they had nj
right to interfere. The petitioners demurrei
to this answer, the circuit judge overrulei
the demurrer, and they then took an appea
to the Supreme court.
The following item, which appeared in

A LOST ADDRESS.
A Trinidad Lady Writes to San Francisco
for 1t.

Mrs Harriet Mcnamara of 319 State Street,
Trinidad, Colorado, while visiting in st. Louis
last summer, did not suffer with her usual sick
headaches and indigestion. But upon her re-
turn to Trinidad her old troubles came upon
her. 1t was not the St. Louis climate that did
so much for her sick headaches. The secret is
told in the following letter, received by Thomas
Price & Son, the wel-known assayers of 524 Sac
ramento Street, San Francisco. Mrs. McNamara
writes:-
"Three months since I was visiting in st.
Louis and obtained two bottles of joys Vegeta-
BILE Sarsaparilla. 1t was of great relief to me in
my headaches and indigestion. Since my re-
turn to my home in Trinidad feel the need of
it, and as I have lost the address write to you
to ask if you will not kindly forward this letter
to the proper number in San Francisco, and
have me sent a few more bottles of this valuable
vegetable compound"
joys Vegetable sarsaparilla is an almost Ger
tain cure for sick headaches and constipation.
People who have used it once will send hun
dreds of miles to get it. in the above instance.

found in the mail, and it was opened to
ascertain the address of the sender. There
was none, and the only signature was
"From your brother Will" The letter
went on to state that the writer had
pawned his coat to raise $40, which was in

would relieve her distress.-New York

JENKS, DREAM.

jerks had queer dream the other night.
He thought he saw prize-fghters ring, and
in the middle of it stood a doughty little
champion who met and deliberately knocked
over, one by one, a score or more of big,
burly-looking fellows, as they advanced to
the attack. Giants as they were in size, the
valiant pigmy proved more than match for
them. 1t was all so funny that jerks woke
up laughing. He accounts for the dream by
sion, after trying nearly every big, drastic
pill on the market, that Pierce's Pleasant

CATALINA GOATS.
The Way They Are Being Wantonly
Slaughtered.

A young gentleman left personal
note himself at the HERALD office
recently, in which was stated that he
had been goat-hunting on Catalina and
had killed eight of these animals, "leav-
ing seven in the hills" Such wanton
destruction of these creatures should be
stopped at once. No true sportsman
would kill game simply for the sport of
seeing the creatures die and leave them
to rot where they fall. In the interests
of sport and to preserve an attraction of
the island it's owners should prevent
such action.
