The wanderings of a Shoe.

An old, badly worn shoe passed
through Madison, Wis, in the United
States mail the other day. An old shoe
with half of the sole worn off and holes
in the uppers is rather unusual thing
to find in the mail, but this had Travelled
thousands Of miles, and not one cent of
postage had been paid on it. There are
about 300 tags tied to the holes for the
lacings, and something like $50 of them
have the stamps of different postofices,
together with inscriptions by different
postal clerks.
The shoe went to Madison from,
Minneapolis, to Minneapolis from st.
Paul, to ST. Paul from Seattle, to
Seattle from Portland, to Portland from
San Francisco, to San Francisco from
Honolulu, to Honolulu from San Fran
cisco. 1t is hard to trace it's course be-
fore that, but it has the stamps of any
number of postoffces on it, among
them being those at Oakland, Salt Lake
City, Denver, Omaha and any number
of cities in the east and some in the
south.
Where it has gone from Madison is
not positively known. The shoe was
started from Boston by one of the
postal clerks there-the first tag shows
hat-and there is q request that it be
returned there. At St. Paul it was in
scribed: ''Too small for a big city.
Pass it on to the village" Then it was
sent to Minneapolis.

Bntta,s Hermit Miser.

In the western part of town and near
the village of Burlington there is a
strange character who excites no end Of
comment by his peculiar actions. He is
the owner or leaser Of a mine, the shaft
of which is about fifty feet in depth.
This strange individual works the mine
all by himself, and to the people whom
he meets he is an enigma. He stead
fastly refuses to be interviewed, and
although prospectors on neighboring
mines have made repeated efforts to
even get salutation from hin they
have signally failed.
Every morning as regular as clock
work he descends into the mine by
means of the ladder, and remains there
until evening. Occasionally he is seen
to hoist q bucket of waste, and it is pre-
sumed that this action is made neces-
sary by the fact that he is driving q
crosscut single handed and alone, and
gets cra1nped for want of room.
But the most peculiar thing in con-
nection with this singular man is his
manner of working. Every two weeks
he changes shifts and works during the
nighttime for two weeks, to change at
the end of that time to two weeks day
shift. Some of the miners who were in
that locality believe that the man is all
old time miner who has become SO accus-
toned to working two weeks night and
two weeks day that he cannot overcome
the habit.-Butte Inter Mountain.

c,,m rate of the British Empire.

A summary Of the climate of the Brit
ish empire for 1891 has been compiled
from reports prepared at sixteen selected
stations. The highest shade tempesa-
ture 1O3 degs., in january was regis
tered at Melbourne, and the lowest GAS
dogs, in February at Winnipeg. The
extreme maximum in the sun Q65 degs.)
and the lowest mean humidity or per
cent? were recorded at Adelaide. To
Ceylon belonged the highest mean tenn
perature (s0.7 degs.) and also the least
range in the year, there being only a
difference of 24.3 dogs. between the
maximum of the hottest day and the
minimum Of the coolest night. Malta
has, as a rule, tine smallest rainfall and
the least cloud, but last year Adelaide
had the smallest rainfall IA inches) and
Bombay the least cload 49, The great

Artistic Auto.suceestion.

Irecollect that at the dress rehearsal
Of Hamlet" NJ. Mounet- Sully was late.
The stage was waiting. sent to have
him summoned by the call boy. He re-
turned in moment and told me that M.
Monnet- Sully could not come down from
his dressing room then because his cos
tune was not quite ready. 'What! 1t
was finished a week ago, that costume.
It was tried on and worn. It is com
plete and perfect" Yes, the costume
was complete, but under his doublet M.
Mounet-Sully wore braces, and at the
last moment he had considered that he
must have black ones-1nourning braces
because Hamlet was dressed from
head to foot in the trappings and the
suits of woe. Those lower strata of
costume had annoyed him. "The public
would not see them, but I should see
them" This was not the auto-sugges-
ton Of Tallna, but the sentiment comes
from the same need-the need for the
artist to believe him~elf the character he
plays. the hero he represents.-Jules
Clarette in North American Review.
The Portland daily press., 1892-10-01

ssThe Owls Nest" is located. He has
also founded a town-Belleville-
Detroit. Mr.. Bell has always been pos
sessed of apparently unlimited wealth,
and he has therefore had plenty of leis-
ure time to devote to his favorite pas
time, study and research into matters
both ancient and modern. His views
on marriage are very pronounced, an
article of his reading:
From analogy do not see why marriage
should be exempt from the vicissitudes which
attend business affairs or that the failures in
it should far outnumber the successes. But
this fact is by no means disparagement OF
MARRIAGE just as failures in business are no
argument against business in general. Failures
in ordinary business are mostly owing to bad
calculations or too sanguine views, too much
creduNty or trustfulness in human nature.
For precisely the same reasons marriage is
much more likely to be a failure.
Mr.. Bell has no love for John Calvin
and his doctrines, and has declared his
hostility in print, but he also asserts
that 81 have never in my life written
word against religion; indeed I am the
last person in the world to do SO. I
merely venture to speak my objections
to the confounding of religion with mere
ignorant beliefs. The antiquity of these
does not in my eyes confer any merit
upon them. I reject with feeling of
perfect security ancient religious beliefs
as well as ancient astronomical beliefs.
Why should accept the Mosaic astron-
omy or the Ptolemaic system? respect
both. Six Thousand years from their
period the principle of gravitation was
discovered. Progress has been made in
astronomy. Am to force myself to be-
lieve that progress cannot be made in
religious ideas? Surely not. Ignorance
may be the mother of devotion, but de-
votion is not religion; otherwise the saw
age African, hulnbling himself before
his fetch of colored rags, is as pious
and religious as any of the saints of the
calendar. The religion Of creeds and
professions Of faith, in my view, leads
in directions that eventually undermine
religion. Charity is lost sight of; big
otry. fanaticism and merciless cruelty
take its place. Instead of religion, be-
hold hypocrisy, pharisaism and the
rivalry of contending factions eager to
gain adherentsl"
One of the old gentleman's great fads
is sacred music, and his collection of
compositions of Bach, Beethoven, Mo-
Fart, Schubert and other celebrities is
large. The catalogue of it is in six vol
umes folio of 500 pages each. There is
music of all nations-of all times, an
ciant and modern There are over 200
pieces of Irish music, at least 600 of
Schuberts, and so on.
In spite Of Mr.. Bells pronounced
views on many subjects he is a delight
full entertainer and witty conversation
list. An afternoon passed in his Ii
brary is like visit to some wonderful
world of books, and his residence is a
mine of art treasures and valuable Gu
rios from all parts of the world.

THE RED HORSE TAVERN.

the crossroads tavern as to gorgeous
hotel in big city. But once in awhile
a poet or writer chances along, and his
association with the place or what he
says regarding it gives it fame and
vogue it otherwise would not have
known.
There, for example, is the famous old
Red Horse tavern, of Sudbury, Mass.
1t used to be great resort in the old
days of stages, but today, remarks re-
cent visitor, it is left to that solitude
which is almost the only possession of

hostelries. The mail coach no longer
dashes up to it's door to deposit its load;
its hearth is crowded no more by the
feet of hurried travellers; even the rail
road has respected its solitude and left
it far behind. Its charm remains I'M
broken, however, and it is fitting SYM
boil of the memories which cluster in its
ample rooms, memories which seem
realities as one reads his Longfellow and
feels a sympathetic thrill at the immor-

and bemoaned the fact that house they
regarded almost as home would shelter
them no more.
They were almost as indignant against
Landlord Sammis for disposing of the
property as were the people of Islip,
who feared possible contact with the
cholera. But Mr.. Sammis is seventy
three years of age and thinks he knows
his own business better than any one
else. He doesn't care to keep hotel any
longer, and he thought the price offered
h;m-$21G ,00o-a fair one. So he re-
tired and smiled when the guests
clicked" before leaving, and the clam
diggers burned him in efdgy and called
him cholera's friend. As he remarked,
ssI have done the square thing all my
life and am too old now to continue
business or to mind little foolish
abuse"
David S. S. Sammis was born in Hunt
ington, Suffolk county, N. Y, and
worked on his fathers farm until eight
cen years of age. Then he went to New
York city with the intention Of learning
the drug trade. AS this did not agree
with his health, he took to stage coach
ing for seven years and then opened
grocery at Forsyth and Delaney streets.
Later he established the East Broadway
House, at East Broadway and Pike
streets. After being in New York about
sixteen years he started small chowder
house on Fire island. That was in 1866.
He had an idea that a small place near
the ocean and not too far from New
York would prove to be favorite re-
sort. Chowder clubs were all the rage
in those days, and that sort of pleasure
seekers loved to get "way off" where
they could have good frolic all by
themselves. Of course Fire island was
just the place for such fellows. There
used to be very lively parties come down
from the city, and they would eat their
fill of chowder and drink their fill of
champagne. Asmany as $50 would dine
there ON a Sunday.
The first prominent man to visit there
was the late James Gordon Bennett,
who went down in a sailboat from New
York, accompanied by his wife and his
wife's sister. He stayed four or five
days. He was not at all convivial, and
spent much of his time reading books.
He liked the place so well that he wrote
letter about it to The Herald, the first
newspaper correspondence that was ever
sent from that place. The letter caused
great rush of visitors, and the hotel
filed up at once. s..s.
Now the quaint old hotel is turned
into place of confinement for people
from Europe who are suspected of car
rying contagion with them.

Advance in Price of Bonds.

The consolidated interior public debt
of Guatemala amounts to $685., 062. Oh.
The improvement in the public estimate
of the value of those bonds, as well as
the rapid development and advancement
of the country generally, can be appre-
ciated when it is known that while
they were quoted at froln 80 to 90 per
cent. of their original par value in 1877
they have now risen to 80 per cent,
which, considering the psice at which
they were issued, may be considered at
or above par.

holding over for the two years. Now
the people are invited to settle it as be-
tween the two old candidates.
General Samuel E. Merwin, of New
Haven, the Republican candidate, is
sixty-one years old and native OF
Brookfeld. He is engaged in general
business to some extent, but his spessaity
is pork packing, in which he has been
very successful. In 1883 he was elected
lieutenant governor, and bis popularity
was shown by the fact that he ran far
ahead Of his ticket, especially in his
own town of New Haven, where he re-
ceived some loo more votes than Gov
ernor Bulkeley.
Judge Luzon B. Morris, Democratic
candidate, was born in Newtown in 1897
and was graduated from Yale in 1850. In
early life he worked on the farm and in
an edge tool factory, fitting himself for
college in the intervals of labor. He
