Interesting Re miniscence of the Surrender
as Related by Mayor Joseph Mayo

LANCASTER I. H., NoFeuper oV' lo5l'
To The Editor of The. DISPATCH:
Having Just read with profound sympathy
and pleasure the highly interesting account
i'm the DISPATCH of the 25th instant OF the
large and imposing meeting in RICHMOND
20 organize a society for the aid of Russian
refugees am forcibly reminded of an IN
cident, which think is worthy OF being
recorded in honor of our Hebrew fellow
citizens. Some time in the summer of'l865
INV uncle. Hon. joseph Mayo, came on a
short visit to my father at his home IN
Westmoreland. One evening he en-
tertained some friends who called
10 nav their respects with a graphic
and touching narrative of the surrender OF
Richmond and the narrowing scenes OF
suffering and privation which followed
that distressing event. Speaking OF the
generous proffers of sympathy and aid
which came to MN. as Mayor, from every
quarter. he paid a particularly glowing
aud feeling tribute to the spontaneous
and heartfelt liberality OF the Hebrew
people of the city, concluding his enco-
MUM with the peculiarly .droll and en-
phatlc remark: The truth is, gentle
men, the best Christians in Richmond are
the Jews" Very truly yours. &C.,
JOSEPH MAYO.

DIR. McRae's Formula for Making Egg
nOg.
To fhe Editor of the Dispatch:

10 me EutOf W GU btoP'''sfN'
Approaching your efforts to furnish the
publio with a good formula for making
epgnog, allow me 10 suggest the follow
ing as superior 10 any that know:
10 make one gallon Of eggnog take one
dozen eggs separate the whites and the
yolks ue1-g carefully. Beat each until It be-
comes as light es practicable. Add one
pound of pulverized white sugar 60 the
yoiks. and mix intimately. Then add one
quart OF Cognac brandy and half-pint
Of Jamaica rum, pouring them In
In a small stream while stirring
actively. Add halt a gallon OF
rich milk. Then add not less
than three fourths of the bulk Of the
whites, and incorporate thoroughly. The
remainder of the whites should be put
mon the surface merely as an ornament.
Alarge portion of the white of the eggs
should always be mixed with the CON-
pound to render IT light and wholesome.
This was the almost universal n,0itlis ope-
rand of making eggnog in Virginia in the
good old ante-6ellum days. IL constitutes
q drink fit for the gods.
II a cheaper article Is desired. good whis-
kew NAV be used as substitute for the
brandy. but. of course, It makes a greatly
inferior beverage, a. D NJ

ID B. B. COMPANY: MY DEAR
Os sIR.-I take great pleasure in acknow-
Lodging the great benefit my wife has derived
from your great and wonderful medicine, B. B.
B. For two years she was great sufferer from
scrofula or some blood disease which had lain
dormant all her life. We had attention from
some Of the most skilful physicians in the conn-
try, but all to no effect, until We had all despair
ed OF her ever recovering. Her mouth was one
solid ulcer and for two months or more her body
was broken out with sores until she lost beauti-
full head Of hair, also eyelashes and eyebrows; In
fact, she seemed TO DO a complete wreck.
Now comes the great secret which want the
world to know; That three bottles Of Blood
Balm medicine has done the work which would
sound Incredible to any one who did not know it
TO be so. To-day my wife is perfectly healthy
and clear from any scrofulous faint, and she now
has three-months-Old babe, also perfectly
healthy Very respectfully

An Extensive Postal Card.

81 saw a bit of rumpled postal card
the other day that cost the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company S., 000," said a
young lawyer.
1T was in the damage suit of Mrs.
Nellie Keane against the railroad fol
1000 damages for killing her husband
Maurice in July, 1885, Her attorney
was Alexander Sullivan, who, in search
ing the police record of the accident,
found a postal card which had been
written to Chief Hubbard by promi-
nent young member of the Typographi.
cal union. This man was an eyewit-
ness of the accident, and he wrote to
the police denouncing the carelessness
of the road in guarding the Thirty
seventh street crossing, where the acct.
dent happened. Up to this point the
evidence looked very poor for Mrs.
Keane, but the discovery of this wit.
ness changed the whole aspect of af-
fairs. Mr. Sullivan hunted him up,
through him found other witnesses,
and after a hot fight with the company
in Judge Clifford's court obtained a
verdict for S5, 000 Chicago Times.

Thackeray's Pictures.

Who that loves Thackeray forgets
the sense of fitness which has recon-
mended to him drawings insufficient in
themselves and weak in their execu-
ton, but so evidently imbued with the
living literary conceptionl That he
could not satisfactorily illustrate the
thoughts of others we have abundant
evidence, but where have we ever seen
book illustrations more helpful to the
right understanding of the masters
thought than those in the Christmas
Books of Mr.. Michael Angelo Tit
marsh, or in ''Dr. Birch, "Our Street, "
and 1.-THE Kickleburys on the Rhine?'
Who can forget, to name but one in
stance, the picture of the unfortunate
''Miss Little, to whom fate had assigned
The Mulligan as partner9 Like a
pavid kid in the talons of an eagle,
that young creature trembled in his
huge Milesian grasp" Here one feels
instinctively at a glance that there has
been no weakening of the spontaneity
and impulse by the transmission Of the
conception from one mind to another.

Cabby Drove OF.

A clergyman in London was one night
driven home, and paid the cabman
what he supposed to be two shillings.
He had taken the coins from his waist
coat pocket, but as soon as they had
passed from his hands he noticed their
peculiar glitter, and said: stop, cab
mani I've given you two sovereigns by
mistake"
''Then your honor's seen the last of
them" said the cabman, whipping his
horse and driving briskly away.
Then the gentleman felt again in his
pocket, and found that he had given
the man two bright new farthings,
which he had that day received and
was keeping for his children. London

MEN WHO CHANGE THEIR NAMES.


Generally Rss.in Their Given cognomsnA
or at Least the Initials.
do Won know that Jacob Kronfeld,
who was before Commissioner Hoyne
charged with smuggling, did something
unusual in changing his nameT re-
marked one of Uncle Sans secret serv-
ice men. 1T is not strange that he
saw fit to change his name, of course,
but his manner of doing it was unusual.
He adopted the name 'Gustaye LANCE
"a complete change, you see, for his real
name. People who for convenience or
from necessity temporarily alter their
names very rarely make a complete
change, as Kronfeld did.
''It may surprise you to know that
there is quite degree of regularity OBJ
servable in assuming fictitious names
certain peculiarities which are to be ex-
pected in the false name which serve to
indicate that IL is not the real name of
the man who claims it. OF course
when q man determines to adopt ficti-
tious name there is no way to predict
what the new one will be, but it is
pretty safe to guess that it will possess
certain known characteristics.
IF you have not investigated the
subject you very likely imagine that
when John G. Brown finds it neces-
sary to assume another name he is
likely to become George Il. jackson.
Well, this is not the case. More than
so per cent. of fictitious names have no
change except in the surname-'John
g. Brown becomes John @. Baker.
Well, of course. this is only another
case of the ostrich hiding herself by
covering her head.
Sometimes the middle initial is
changed. But the given name gener'
ally remains-it is the last to go. And
when it does go it generally is replaced
by another name having the same in
itial Here, then, are the changes to
be looked for in the sequence in which
they are usually found: John G.
Brown becomes John G. Baker, then
John w. Baker, then James G.
Baker, Ninety per cent. of the ficti-
tious names assumed to escape detec-
| ton contain at least one of the initials
of the mans true name.
at isn't an easy matter for a man to
change his name. A name cannot be
drawn on and off like a glove. 1t is
born with man and seems to be a
part of himself. Even the worst Grim
inals usually cling to their real names
changed in some respects, true, but
not completely changed. Billy the
Kid never becomes Jack the Terror.
1.-THE Kronfeld case, l presume Gor
1 know nothing about it), is an instance
in which the name of another person
has been assumed. I'll venture to say
that 'Gustave LANCE is not a mythical

A few days ago man raised his hat
to lady in a prominent retail store.
The lady stared at him for his imperti-
hence and turned her head. His face
flushed, and after hesitating moment
he went up to her and said: "You really
must excuse me, madam, for mistook
you for lady whom 1 met but once q
short time ago. l saw my mistake at
once, but still there is a very great re-
semblance Her name. is Mrs. -.
The resemblance is SO remarkable you

finally said:
'Yes, the resemblance is remarkable.

MAGIC LANTERN WONDERS.

Some Curious Things Developed by an
OldsDfscovery I'm Optics.
1.-THE magic lantern was invented
long before the development of photog-
raphy gave it "a practical value" said
an expert in sun picture making. Its
discovery is credited to Athanasins
Kircher, who died in 1880, though as
sertions have been made that Roger
Bacon, four centuries earlier, was
familiar with it, There is no doubt,
however, that for long time after its
invention the magic lantern was re-
garded almost purely and simply as a
toy, though persons calling themselves
wizards employed the apparatus to
summon ghosts and do other tricks for
the deception of the ignorant.
Even to this day the magic lantern
remains a most popular toy, and slides
for the entertainment of children are
manufactured by wholesale in many
large cities, both here and abroad.
Nearly all of them are painted on the
glass, often in water colors, though
transparent oil colors are best for the
purpose. With such medium all sorts
of funny pictures are produced, which,
thrown upon awhile sheet, are calcu-
lated to give amusement to the youth
full audience. 1t is easy enough togive
the funny figures action by employing
two slides; one, representing the back
ground, remains. stationary in the Ian
tern, while the other is moved across
Skillfully managed, the dramatis per-
soma in this sheet play may be made to
act their parts most entertainingly.
However, photography has discov-
cred a much more serious and import
ant use for the magic lantern. By'its
aid the lecturer is able to show the
most beautiful photographs, magnified
to big dimensions, for the benefit of
large audiences. In the same way
maps are projected gigantically upon
the screen which would require great
labor to enlarge with accuracy.
Magic lantern slides for such pur-
poses are made by photography in this
way: A glass negative is obtained from
an actual scene, a photograph or other
object, and from this negative photo
graph is taken on glass. The latter
photograph is the magic lantern slide
| positive" like an ordinary photo
graph.
"An interesting and familiar applica-
ton of the magic lantern is made by
revolving two glass dishes with concen-
trio painted patterns in the lantern,
working the two in opposite ways by a
simple wheel continuance, so that the
patterns are mingled in a beautiful
kaleidoscope fashion.
'But more curious and useful is the
idea of placing living organisms within
double slides of glass inclosing water,
so that the organisms in question are
exhibited upon the screen alive actually,
for the study of the knowing and the
ignorant. Even the growth of crystals,
in process, is shown in singular way,
though not less extraordinary is the
method practiced with the aid of the
magic lantern of causing figures upon
the white sheet, by a simple device, to
grow to be giants that threaten to de-
your the spectators. - Washington

Among other things he gave an ac-
