Would Take a Strong Stomach

Where is the man who would dare
feed fine horse from the bill of fare of
an ordinary hotel table? 1t would take
the stomach of a goat or an ostrich to
dispose of such dishes without suffering
from indigestion, especially when the
food is rinsed down with two or three
glasses of ice water or strong coffee,
according to custom-Dr. j. II. Kellogg.

only did the street fakirs come to him for their
suspenders, shoe lscings, collar buttons, and
gswgaws. but the country peddlers and those
who had special customers in Now York and
the neighboring towns got their outfits from
him also. His store contained nearly every.
thing In the way Of wearing apparel for man.
woman, and child. As we'll as most OF the articles
Of furniture needed In the home Of the average
laborinR man. Most OF his customers were
iocosely described BY him and his friends
as ersenhorns." Tho reason for this was
that they had been only short time In
tho country. As their knowledge Of the ooun-
try increased they usually abandoned peddline
and adopted some other occupation moro
profitable and less laborious. Few Of his Gus.
toners could speak English. and tho oonver.
sation In tho store was usually carried on In
tho jarRon composed Of Hebrew, German. Rus
sian, and English.
Very little Of the business was done on
cash basis. and possibly that accounted for tho
fact that tho prices charged BY Mr.. Crscowsky
were high compared with the intrinsic value
of the articles he sold. He kept very strict &C.
counts Of his dealings with the peddlers, how.
ever. and whom the latter were paid BY their
customers. for many OF them did credit busi-
ness also. Mr.. Cracowsky usually saw to It that
he was paid. too. In arranging a sale with any
OF his customers he always had 1t understood
that tho goods were not to be sold by the
peddler on longer than three months credit,
and that that was to be the time limit for his
payment for the goods By the time that Mr.
Cracowsky was ready for business this morn
ing three customers wsre waiting for him.
They we're odd looking fellows. ereenhorns In
looks certainly. and unquestionably very Door.
Mr.. Crscowsky selected for his first customer
the mildest-looking man Of the three.
WELL David" he asked. speaking Of course
in tho jargon, how goes It to-day2"
David shrugged his shoulders and looked
extremely sad. He was an undsrsized man,
youthful. but rather weak looking. with an
apology for beard beginning to straggls ever
his face, and q rather hunted look In his eyes.

In. Mr.. Cracowsky received them with .

with dogged. determined cast OF features and

his resemblance to bulldog. Usually he was
. very RooG-natured man, but when he did
get angry. and he was not slow to.wrath. tho
color In his checks deepened from the or
dinary rcd to dark and mottled purple, and
then those who knew him realized that there
were breakers ahead. He was man Of 80. or

twenty years Unlike most OF the residents Of

Henderson for delightful, brilliant en-
tertainments of this kind. Burwell
Hall was crowded with dancers and
spectators who presented a most beau
tlful picture to the eye, with gallantry
for the background, and scene of
lovely mittlngS of feminine grace and
beauty.
The german was led by Mr. Henry
Miller, of Raleigh, who has a State repu-
tation for his gracefulness and smooth
ness as leader. Mr. Miller was accom-
panied by Miss Lizzie Clarke, and
assisted in leading by Mr.. John Engle-
hard, Of Durham, who is equally as
competent. Mr.. Englehard was accom-

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The galleries of the halls were filled
with ladies yesterday.
There are four colored Representatives
and two Senators in the present General
Assembly.
Twenty one members Of the present
session are ''old hands at the bellows"
having been members of the session
of 1889.
r. NJ Lee, (col) of Chowan county,
tells the CHRONICLE that be is here to
contest the seat Of Mr.. II. A. Bond, Jr. Of
ChoWan.
For the first time in the history of the
government of North Carolina, every
Senator was present yesterday at the
roll call of the organization of that body.
Wake Jared badly, Notwithstanding
| the recent glorious Democratic victory,
All it's candidates were defeated. 1t
| hurt very much, but our people accept
the result philosopbically, and submit
| gracefully
There is general regret at the defeat OF
Mr.. Wiley Clifton for Door-Keeper of
the Senate. He had held that position
many wears, and in usefulness and &C.
ceptibility he ranked equal to any officer
the State ever had.
It has been supposed by some
that the present session of ftheLeglslature,
being composed mainly Of farmers, would
not favorably compare with other ses-
sions. Ifsuoh supposition was entertain
ed. it was q great mistake. The per
sonel of the body now in session is certain
lv up to the average, and as fine gather
ing of Legislators as ever assembled IN
North Carolina.
Yesterday spectator who was present
during the organization of the Leglsla
ture remarked that this was the aoies
. and best set of lawmakers that he ha
seen in the capital in many years. In'
gentleman further said he had witness
ed every organization of the State Leg
g islature since the war and this one I'm
pressed him more at the start than an
in his recollection.
d One of the most attractive men IN tn
House is Col. Harry Skinner, OF Pitt. d
is not only a gentleman of brilliant mer
tai eouipment, but is quite as highly es
!. teemed for his personal graces. Befor
). the Alliance had ever adopted the Sui
Treasury bill, Col Skinner wrote
a. trenchant and able article to Frank Le
,e lies Illustrated Newspaper in which
advocated a similar system by which tn
n farmers of the South would not be TO
t. ced to sacrifice their cotton, but be a.
n vanced money at low rate of intere
" upon their cotton His article was RI
r produced in many leading papers, an
g. farmers took kindly to the idea III
" Sub Treasury bill was the outcome
3 this discussion, and in North CaroliI
a there has not been an sbler or more zea
GUS advocate of that measure than
r. Skinner. He is popular widower, al
,k the CHRONICLE will whisper to Its Lax
readers that he would be fine catch.
