A UNIQUE ROtifer.

At a recent :!eeting of the Natural
History Society DR.. Thomas s. Stevens
entertained aud instructed the members
by an illustrated paper on rotifer,
microscopic animal that is among the
rarest in the group. 1t was first discov-
cred by Russian microscopic, next
found twice in Philadelphia, once in llli
nois, and some years ago in Trenton. 1t
has now been re-discovered here.
The creature is unique in several par
ticulars that would be OF but little inter-
est to the general reader, but which fill
with inexpressble JOY the heart of the
devoted microscopic, who is happy when
he is prying into the little brain or the
larger stomach of the animal.
The little creature is blessed above the
human beast in having two stomachs,
which it can fill with other animals, aud
apparently enjoy irself by diges,ing them
in spite of their wri2gling. But in con-
nection with one OF the animals stom-
achs discovery has been made in TrCn-
ton that has never before been made in
any part OF the world-otherwise it
would not be a discovery. This pouch
is internally lined with dense and wool
ly coating of vibrating hairt. These
strange internal appendages appear to be
unknown to any other than the Trenton
rotifer, and are, therefore, Of great inter-
est in a scientific way.
Another pleasing point, pleasing both
to the animal and to the microscopist, Is
that the rotifer has no means of seeking
its food nor of creating currents in the
water that shall bring food to its double
stomach. It can only rest on small Leaf
or other object, hold its mouth widely
open and wait for Providence TO fill it BY
means Of some wandering animal thai
shall bluuder into the trap and be don,
for, because once in those jaws there il
no escape.-7rmton (N. ~ Stdts Ga

In 1884 an Englishman named Glad.
win Cave, while in New York collecting
evidence, gave to New York Times re
porter the first published account of
remarkable suit he was about to bring
for the recovery Of the estates Of the
former Earls OF Newburgh, which was
worth about slO, 100000. In the fol.
lowing year Mr.. Cave brought suit,
was worsted on technicalities, and ap.
pealed. The story involved was one OF
the most striking and romantic character.
The estates were those Of Lord Derwent.
water, whose tragic end in 1715 was s
chief feature of the first Jacobite rising,
and Cave was lineal descendant of his.
Mr.. Caves claim turned upon the ques-
ton whether the last Countess OF New
burgh, who died in 1858, had right to
will the Newburgh property to her hus'
band, whose heirs now hold it. No
novelist ever conceived stranger circum-
stances than surrounded the deathbel OF
this old lady. 1t was alleged that codi-
ell to the will was framed after she was
dead and pen was put between her cold
fingers, which we're moved to mark the
signature, while buzzing fly was caught
on the window pane and placed inside
her mouth, so that the servants might
swear there was life in her body. Cave
lost his appeal, was made bankrupt, and
for time disappeared. A year or tive
ago he came to the surface again and or
ganized another assault on the property.
He succeeded at last in getting some
money together from speculative or sym
pathetic people, and began new suit
on another tack. Through 1t all saw
him often, gsunt, sad.eyed man, carry
ing forever with him black bag stuffed
with papers, incapable Of thinking or
talking for moment of anything else
but his suit. Last winter his oppon.
ents were beaten on technical point
they had raised, and lawyers of posi-.
ton told me they half believed Cave
was going to win his suit. The poor fel
low himself was half wild with JOY and
confidence. Two days ago Lord Cole.

Invoice Figures in the Neu.

Deputy Collector Cashin Has Asked for Time
in Which to Prove His Innocence
of Serious Charge.

The disclosure of fraud which has been
made in the consignment of goods to the
firm OF Neuberger, R4iss s. Co.. and the i'm
plication of a certain customs official with
the case by which expensive wooden goods
and silks were palmed off as cotton, have ex-
cited the greatest interest among merchants
and are almost the sole topic of conversation
among the employees of the CuStom-house.
The greatest secrecy is being maintained by
those who have the investigation of the case
in charge, and but little information will be
divulged. The Special Agent of the Treasury
is engaged in going over the various in
voices of goods consigned to Neuberser,
Ress & Co., many of which are in foreign
languages and take time in the translation.
Although, when spoken to on the subject,
the heads of the service declined to commit
themselves. yet the fact is known that an
examination is also being made of the in
voices of other firms engaged in the BUSH
mes of importing cotton, wooden and silk
goods on the same invoices.
Que thing is known positively and that is
that Collector Phelps is making searching
investigation OF the case, and that when he
has removed all doubts as to the gully
party or parties he will spare none
INVESTIGATING THE INVOICES.
The investigation into the invoices has
been productive of considerable results,
confirming the evidence already possessed
of fraud in the handling of the consign-
ments of imported goods in this city. The
following few figures have been obtained
and are now being used in the inveStiga-
ton of d. NJ Cashin, Deputy Collector, who
marked the goods and indicated the cases
which were to be taken to the Appraisers
store in the Neuberger case.
The figures here given are memoranda of
goods invoiced by Neuberger, Reiss IL Co.

SMALLCAPS MCDONALD.
The Pet Name Which Long Chung to the
Old Indiana Politician.

The Pet Name Which Long Chung to the
Old Indiana Politician.
For many years during the earlier part
of his public career the late Senator Nc
Donald of Indiana was called by his politi-
cal opponents 'Smallcaps' Mcdonald" said
one of the old-time newspaper men of the
Hoosier capital to Mail reporter. "This
nickname arose from queer typographical
blunder in the Office of the indianapolis
Journal. at that time Senator Mcdonald
was young man just gaining little prom
inence through his excellent work at the bar.
zone morning he came down to the Jour-
nal office carrying in his hand copy of the
paper. In front of the building he met
Berry Sulgrove. the editor, and said:
"Say, Berry, you probably have printed
a good joke here, bit FL confess PA too
thick-headed to see it, I've puzzled over it
for an hour, and l can't make anything out
of it, so thought I'd better run down here
and see you about it, Ii there is anything
funny in this l want chance to laugh as
well as the rest of you fellows. Now, what
do you mean by saying: The meeting was
next addressed by Prosecutor Smsllcaps
McDonaldP"
"What's that p said Sulgrove. Small
caps Mcdonald? You must be craZyp
We'll that's what thought when | first
read it, but there it is as plain as day. Now,
then, what in thunder are 'small-caps?
"Sulgroye glanced at the newspaper and,
as his eyes ran over the article, he burst
into fit of laughter. Come upstairs with
me-, he said. The next moment he had
caught composition by the collar, hustled
him to the stairway and kicked him half
way downstairs.
There, painted the editor as he returned
to Mr.. Mcdonald. In editorial matter we
print all names OF persons in small caps
larger type than the ordinary reading mat
ter. Last night that compositor set up your
name in regular lower-case type aud | drew
line around it and wrote on the margin of
the proof small caps He evidently
imagined that your given name was Small
caps and that my correction of the proof
was made simply to print your name in
full
But the opposition press throughout the
State of Indiana caught up the nickname.
and it chung to Mr.. Mcdonald very tena-
ciously for many years. Not until he be-
came political figure Of national promi-
nence did it leave him, and even to the time
of his death some of the old boys of half
a century ago still persisted in calling their
old friend Smallcaps. '-Chicago Mail.

A FIERY RIDE.
Thrilling Adventure of Butte County
Stage Driver.

IhrillfnS Adventure OF a Butte County
Stage-Driver.
The driver of the Forbestown stage had
qu lite a thrilling adventure yesterday. and
one that he will not likely soon forget. The
stage had reached this side of Wyandotte in
safety, when the driver discovered that the
fire that we spoke of yesterday was ahead
of him and burning fiercely en- both sides of
the road. The grade at this point is quite
steep and narrow and it was impossible to
turn the four-horse team around. The
flames, driven by the strong north wind,
were fast approaching, and quick action was
necessary to save the horses and stage from
destruction. For 800 feet the road was
practically a mass of flames. There was
but one thing to do-to go through. So he
laid the whip on the horses and started.
The horses, maddened by the whip and
heat, fairly flew, and the stage and its con-
tents passed safely through. 1t was rather
a narrow escape, for as it was the drivers
face was scorched and in another hundred
feet the stage would have been ablaze.-Ex.
