Wagncr's Nerve.

Wagner, the composer, had the nerves
of an acrobat Once he was climbing a
PERCEPTIONS mountain in company with
a young friend. When some distance
up and walking along a narrow ledge
the companion, who was following,
called out that he was growing giddy.
Wagner turned round on the ledge of
the rock, caught his friend and passed
him between the rock and himself TO

Praeger, relates an incident Of q visit
to Wagner at his Swiss home The two
men sat one morning on an ottoman in
the drawing-roon, talking over the
events of the years Suddenly Wagner,
who was sixty years Old rose and stood
on his head upon the ottoman At that
moment Wagner's wife entered Her

The "Hevesa- Goda-Cla, the largest of
the seven, is three and half stories
high, its outlines resembling those of
an Atlantic steamship. The inside of
the bowlder has been chiseled away
until the walls do not exceed eight
inches in thickness. The two floors
above that of the foundation are each
about foot in thickness, and seem as
solid as the rock of ages. The upper
stories are reached by spiral stair

about him.

Eva's uncle doubtless selected this spot,
as picture was painted of it, and he
thought it could be the more readily
found by her. The letter that he sent
her concerning this picture, and which
never reached her, would have made
everything clear
II could scarce brook the impatience
OF waiting until spades had been pro-
set to work with hearty will, assisted
by the husband of old Simon's niece.
In short while it became evident that
the bowlder was a very large one, deep

tainly had not been disturbed for q
great period. perchance not since its
Judgement there ages ago.
Though baffied by this fact for q
time, [ firmly maintained my ground
that somewhere near this spot, at least
lay the buried treasure. At this point
Eva suggested that as the key was
found in the frame midway between
the rock and the stump in the picture,
perhaps the chest was buried between
the actual rock and stump. Acting on
this suggestion, the two diggers began
work at a place midway between the
two points, while Eva and looked

they had excavated quite a hole. They
dug down some two or three feet, and
then began to dig out in different direc-
tons 1t was now past noon and both
the men stopped to rest, and then they
began again with renewed energy. At
last. as our hopes were beginning to
weaken, one of the spades struck the
decayed side of pine box. and after a
little more digging it was unearthed,
and then opened.
Mr.. Evans gave loud and hearty
cheer as small iron safe, brown with
rust, was exposed to view. The mys-
terry of the picture was at last solved.
Some four thousand dollars in gold,
and jewels that alone were worth double
that amount, were found in the safe
1t would be impossible to describe the
Joy of my friends at this fortunate dis
covery, or the gratitude they mani
tested toward me for my part in the
matter. They would not permit me to
refuse this beautiful ring, which was
among the jewels; and when married,
a year later, among my wedding gifts
was handsome purse containing three
hundred dollars in gold, which was
given by those two grateful friends in
the south.

Revenge of Disappointed Rats.

In the neighborhood of Burley the
other day gentleman, looking over a
wall, saw dead hen in the field.
Presently rat ran up, shifted at the
defunct fowl with much satisfaction
and went away in some haste. The on
locker, who is student of natural his
tory, knew what that meant, and re-
moved the hen from the spot. In a
minute or two the rat come back with
half dozen friends, with the evident
intention OF removing the carcass for
future use. Arrived at the spot where
the fowl had laid, tho rat raised loud
squeak OF astonishment at its absence
In trice the other rats fell upon him
SO savagely that they left him dead on
the field as a warning not to play
practical jokes with his friends Leeds

Few men whose sayings have been

Marshal Lannes declared that if, while

An English writer, who likens him to
cat that scratches and bites, dealing
wounds that tester and infiame, though
they do not kill, gives some examples
of his irritating wit.

flung an inkstand at Talleyrand's head,
exclaiming: ''Vile eBsfgre, your mind is
as crooked as your feet.' The witty
cripple waited for his revenge

THE HOTEL ROYAL HORROR

Nothing Yet Upon Which to Base an
Estimate of the Number OF Victims.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-At o'clock this
morning there is nothing on which to
base correct estimate of those who
perished in the Hotel Royal on Sunday
morning. 1t is positively known that
there were 152 persons in the hotel at
the time of the fire. and of these eighty
two are known to be safe.
Twelve bodies have been recovered,
which leaves fifty eight persons unac-
counted for. That some of these es-
capped is certain, and it is equally cer-
tain that good portion of those escap-
ing, perhaps all, will forever keep their
identity secret for obvious reasons
Only when the last piece of debris has
been removed from the RUNS will the
number of deaths be positively ascer-
tanned.
The work of Identification is very
slow. This is due partly to the horri-
BILE condition of the bodies recovered
But stronger reason, it is believed
that many persons do not wish to make
public through Identification, the
names of relatives and friends possibly
among the dead in order to avoid
scandal

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 9.-At ten min

door of the official apartments of the
governor were opened. Gov. Boyd en-
tered, followed by the ladies who had
accompanied him from Omaha. Gov.
Thayer came out at once from his pri-
vate Office with his hand extended, and
exclaimed: How do you do, gov
ernor." Gov. Boyd made no reply nor
offered to take his hand. Thayer spoke
to him in low tone and seemed to be
pleading with him for at least recogni-
ton. He received none. Gov. Thayer
tnen said:
Every we'll. If you will not shake
hands it's as well. The clerk will fur.
nish you with an invoice of the prop
erty."
Gov. Boyd answered: II want no in
voice. | am here to take possession OF
the office to which / was elected Z
Thayer then turned and left. Gov.
Boyd then walked into the private
room where the ladies were seated.
The crowd was then allowed to pass
through and shake hands with Gov.
Boyd. At the end Of the public recep-
ton the several state officers entered
the private Office in a body and paid
their respects to the new governor and
were presented to his family.
