Wanted-..An Owner,

There were a dozen passengers Oh a
Broadway car the other rainy day, who
noticed e very large, showily dressed
man get aboard at the Garner of Seven
teenth. He had gold-headed silk
| umbrella, and he leaned il against the
front door and sat down. When the
ear got down to Wall street the large
man suddenly rose up and hurried
out of the car, never thinking of his
umbrella. Then human nature began to
show itself. A young man with a very
loud suit of clothes, changed his seat
from rear TO front to get nearer the
prize. A very solid woman, with a
oandbox, pushed boy along 10 bring
herself nearer. A man on the other
side, who had been very busy with his
paper, now folded it up and fixed his
eye on the umbrella. A shop girl,
| who seemed to be out on an errand
cast covetous eyes, and thought of the
swell she could cut over the other girls
II she had that particular piece of
personal property. An old man with
very prominent nose finally observed
n subdued tones:
81 live next door to johnson, and
I'll return him his umbrella"
"Johnson" exclaimed the Young
nan in the loud suit, ''Why, that's our
superintendent, aud as 1 am going
20 the office, I'll carry it to him"
"Seems TO me he's my grocer, but
won't be sure of it," remarked the
solid woman. However, Pm sn
honest woman, and it will be safe with
me-"
Look herei" exclaimed the nah
With the paper. "You are q nice
,rowd, l must remark. | was Just
aying low for you. The gent is my
brother, and I'd like to see some of
you try to walk off with his umbrella !"
This settled all but the shop girl.
She turned white and red, moved about
lneasily, and finally decided it was
now OF never. She suddenly rose up,
walked to the end of the car, picked
up the umbrella, and tiptoed her way
10 the rear door and passed out.
Thank you, miss!"
1t was the large, showily dressed
nan, who was standing on the plat
form with his hand extended.
Don't mention it!" snapped the
girl in reply, as she turned over the
property and dropped off.
And then everybody chuckled and
slapped himself on the back to think
le had been wise enough to let the
| umbrella alone.

A Fortune With His Wife,

| All the Athenians know Dan Talia-
terro, the colored barber, who did
business in this city and afterward
moved to Jacksonville, Fla, and
married. Dan was a polite and
espectful man, and had the good will
# our people, who will be glad to
lnow that he will soon come in
possession of a handsome fortune
stimated at $4,000 or more.
His story is strange one. On
Dams removal to the land of flowers
le met colored girl Of Key West,
md after brief courtship the pair
we're married. 1t now seems that the
oroudest blood of CASTLE flows in the
feins of this octoroon, for she is q
meal descendant from a Spanish
General who commanded troops in st.
Augustine when it was under the
dominion of that country. This old
general was great roue, and becoming
attached to a mulatto girl, a de-
;cendant of the Minorcans, raised 8
family of children by her. On his
ieathbed he repented Of his liaison,
md left these children his entire
anded property in Florida, including
sc, 900 acres, much of it lying in the
principal cities of that State.
A portion Of the ground on which
he Ponce de Leon Hotel stands was
purchased from the heirs, while they
IT'LL own valuable possessions all over
hat city, as also in Key West, Tampa,
Tallahassee and other places. This
property has never been divided, being
controlled by an old aunt to Dams
wife, who lives in fine style at st.
Augustine, and was recognized as the
lead of the family. There are now
,nly seventeen heirs to this vast prop
.rty, and, as they are all of age, have
demanded that division be made, ar
.angements for which are. now in pro-
ress. The best lawyers in the State
IRE employed. There is no question OF
ioubt about the title to this property,
md not an acre is in dispute. When
Florida was sold by Spain to the United
states there was clause in the trade
~ which this Government was pledged
o protect the titles of the Spaniards
who had private landed interests.
Under this clause does Dams wife

Concerning American Railroads.

1t Is claimed that the fastest time OIL
record was made >tcr the Philadelphia
u Reading Railroad. The time was
ninety-two miles in ninety-three min
utes, one mile being made in forty-six
seconds.
The chances for loss of life in rail
road accidents in this country are one
person killed for every 10000, 900
carried. Statisticians claim that more
people are killed every year by falling
out of windows than there are in rail
road accidents.
The Canadian Pacific Railway ex-
I tends further east and west than any
other road in the country. 1t runs
from Quebec 70 the Pacific Ocean.
The cantelever span of the Pough
keepsie bridge is the longest railway
bridge span in the United States. Its
length is $40 feet.
The KinZua viaduct, ON the Erie
Railroad, is the highest railroad bridge
in the United States. 1t is S05 feet
high,
The longest railway tunnel in Anne.
rica is the Hoosac tunnel, on the Fitch
burg Railroad. 1t is four and three
fourths miles long.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
system operates more mileage than any
other single corporation in the United
States. 1t covers about 5000 miles.

A Kings Joke.

A Swedish statesman recently in,
Weighed most eloquently in Parliament
against oleomargarine. Next evening
he was invited to dine with the King,
who loves a joke. There was only
oleomargarine on the royal table, and
the statesman literally partook thereof.
At the close of the meal the King
asked him: "Well, sir, how do you
like our butter!" alt is excellent" /"
replied the statesman; ''the contrast
between il and artificial butter is very
marked" "But," said the King, "that
is artificial butter!" The other guests
roared with laughter, but the "old par
hamentary hand" returned, quick as a
FASH "Your Majesty, if one can be
deceived SO easily, there is all the more
need of strict laws against bogus
goods ~

Love Letter Writing.

The latest device OF girlhood Is
fancy for stufting pillows with their old
love letters. There IS one thing about
the contents Of these pillows that can
be depended upon with a mark ed de-
gree Of certainty--khey are sure to be
soft
Now, the question natur ally arises,
says the n. Y. Sun, Must the pillow
be stuffed with letters from a single
person, or may missive from Jack and
John and Algernon be tumbled pro-
m(scuously together7 Is It test OF
loyalty that when once a girl really
falls In love, or thinks she does. that
she discard from her pillows all letters
save those OF the subject OF her deep
est affectionP And how does maria ge
effect the fate of the pillows? Do
husbands enjoy having their wives
faces buried in a mass of soft nothings
that other men have written to them?
And what dreams may come. and what
skinny, fiat, little pillows some poor
girls must have; but how nice 1t Is for
some men to reflect that their 2dored
ones slumber softly on these words OF
love, and what an excellent place to
store away the litter OF letters

A Sure Cure for Drunkenness.

A Russian physician named Portu.
galoif declares that strychnine is an
infallible cure for drunkenness ad-
miuistered in subcutareous injection.
He asserts that the experience OF
physicians has shown the cure to be as
rapid as 10 Is certain. The effect Of
the strychuine solution is to change
the craving for drink into positive
aversion, and this change Is effected
in a day. After treatment OF eight
or ten days patient may be dis
charged. The strychnine is admins
tered by dissolving one grain In 200
drops OF water aud injecting five drops
of the solution every twenty-four
hours journal Of Health.

NATURES MASTERPIECE,

The lovely maiden 10 the hammock swings
Beneath tn outrageous tree,
While robin in the ripening orchard sings
His thrilling melodies.
In dotted muslin dressed, Of snowy lawn
Adorned with cherry bows,
She is vision f-;rer than the dawn,
Sweet as the new-blown rose.
The shining tresses of her silken hair
About her shoulders play:
There Cupid hides-each ringlet is q snare,
Avoid her while you mayi
For who can look upon her lovely face,
Her brightly beaming eye,
Behold her smile, her forms bewitching graz
And seatheless pass her byf
Turn back, o youth! another path pursue;
Turn back, thou art In peril;
II thou wouldst keep thy heart, avoid her, d.

The Congress Of Americas.

The Congress of the Three Americas,
which will meet in Washington in the
autumn, is attracting good deal of
attention in England and or the con-
tinent. The State Department has

pose of the meeting, far and wide.
These circulars state, in substance,
that it is proposed, by a congress of
representatives of all the American
governments, to improve commercial
relations between the different coun-
tries, to establish a system Of arbitra-
ton in international disputes, and to
adopt uniform monetary system.

A DeIuded Emigrant,

A German peasant who arrived at
Castle Garden recently, with only
seven francs in his pocket, had been
told by an emigration agent that
gold was so plenty in this country that
people gave golden trinkets to their
children to play with, and trimmed the
carriages, buildings and streets with
the precious metal. He therefore sold
his little place, bought ticket for New
York, and gave farewell feast to his
neighbors. He was sent back

The Terrible Tcherkesses.

Tho Tcherkesses the term now
most used IN Europe TO designate the
different Caucasian tribes-are q wild,
bellicose, and rapacious nation. The
Tcherkess is Q warrior in his very
soul, SLY, cruel, and blood-thirsty. The
sufferings Of an enemy awaken in him
only sensual smile of enjoyment. He
tortures his prisoner. kills him, and
mutilates him terribly. How many
loved comrades have ] found with their
arms twisted out Of joint, and other
parts OF their bodies cut of and stuck
in their mouths The Tcherkess is
not fanatic, but he is great fatalist;
and now he is in the Russian service
he attacks with the same ruthless
ardor and blood-thirstiness the Mussul-
man with whom thirty years ago he
used to fight side by side against the
Russians. He always seeks 10 attack
his enemy on the sly, but when he
does not succeed in surprising him, he
dashes upon him and displays pro-
digious courage.
d, l. European warfare the Tcherkess-
es are very useful on outpost duty and
as skirmishers. Even In open battle
they can make very successful charges.
In the last Turkish campaign it hap
pened once that a trench occupied by
the Turks was attacked by battalion
OF infantry, but the deadly fire pre-
venting them from reaching the in-
trenchments. order was given to the
Jangouche militia to mount to the at
tack, and they simply dashed upon the
enemy like a hurricane, leaped over
the defences, and massacred the Turks
inside.-A Russian General, in Har-
per's Magazine.
