Only a few people know that in
every carcass of beef there is a
choice morsel. Butchers don't tell
their customers about it, and very
seldom are their any calls for it.
eve prefer to reserve it for our
own tables" says a butcher. This
rare cut is known as "skirt steak. :"
1t is a thin, flat bit of meat, tender
and juicy as young grass, adhering
to the ribs on either side of the fore
part Of the steer. The rarity of it
is in the fact that out of whole
beef you can get only about two
pounds of this steak. 1t is SO thin
that it will not fry or broil we'll in
the ordinary way, and the way to
have it cooked is to fry briskly in
hot lard. When thus cooked, serv-
ed piping hot, it is delicious.

Archie Bigbie, who a few weeks
ago abducted Miss Laura Brooks
from her home in Clay County,
Ga, and carried her off into the
swamps Of the Chattahoochie Riv-
er, where she was brutally treated
by Bigbie and three companions,
has been arrested. The release of
the young lady, whose parents are
well-to-do, was secured for a money
consideration. Fears of lynching
Bigbie are entertained.

The maple sugar season in Yer
mont is practically over, and unless
there is a decided change in the
weather, the season Of 1892 will be
a failure. 1t is estimated that only
a fourth of a crop has been produc-
ed, which, if correct, means a loss
this year of over $1,000,0O0 to the
Vermont farmers.

One of the most destructive cy-
clones on record swept the entire
country from Texas on the south to
Nebraska and Iowa on the north,
and from Kansas east to Illinois,
the first of last week. At points in
Kansas entire towns were swept
away, including Towanda and Au-
gusta, where the loss of life was ap-
palling. Three people were killed
at Santa'Ana, Tex, and much prop
erty was destroyed in that State.
In Iowa a train was blown from the
track. At Chicago a building col
lapsed killing three persons and ia
tally injuring many others. Owing
to the demoralized condition of the
telegraph wires the work of ascer-
tanning the result of the damage to
life and property has been delayed.
Numberless buildings were wreck
ed and extensive damage was done
along the track followed by the
tornado.

A GORILLA IN KENTUCKY.
The Singular Marauder Lives in CaVerns
Near Brownsville.

The little village of Brownsville,
KY, the county seat Of Edmonson
County, is in condition Of strange
excitement over a rather singular
marauder The town is surround
ed by all kinds of caverns. 1t is in
the county Of Edmonson that the
Mammoth, Diamond, Grand Ave-
nue., Proctor's Hundred Dome and
other caves are situated. A goril-
la is striking terror to the hearts of
the people there. During the day
the monster keeps himself conceal
edup among Observation-Disclosures,
but when night comes he is heard
perambulating about the streets Of
Brownsville, and not few have
seen him.
AS soon as darkness comes, so
great is the terror of the people,
everybody closes securely and bars
the doors and windows of their
houses.
The animal probably made its es-
cape from some travelling show. A
posse of citizens will probably soon
turn out and seek the capture OF
this terror of the neighborhood OF
fill its hide with slugs Of lead.

Prominent tobacconists assure us

ers of "the weed" next winter than
this, says the Huntsville Globe.
We hope that every acre suitable
for this crop will be utilized, for it
has proven a valuable source of
revenue to-the Upper Cumberland.
One firm alone, at Nashville, paid
to the farmers and dealers of Ma
con, Smith, and Trousdale counties
$4,000 this winter. Over $780,
600 has come into Sumner, Smith,
Wilson, Macon, Trousdale, Clay,

At Jackson Lake, 16 miles south
of Waco, Tex, in a tent made of an
old quilt, two women and four chill
dren were found one day last week
nearly nude and living on corn meal
mush, fish, and frogs. The mother
said: "My name is Mrs. Murphy.
My husband left me here three
months ago and told me to stay I'M
til he returned" The oldest girl
wore one tattered garment and raw
hide moccasins of her own make.
The children were nearly as wild
as the wolves that prowled around
their bivouac. The family were
carried to Waco and provided for.

THE SULTAN CHRCkMiTED.
His Clever Attempt to Assume a PrOtte.
tOrate Over the Suez Canal FOiled.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Smalley in his
special cabIegram to the Tribune from Lon
don says: The collapse of the latest intrigue
against Egypt will be signal for the begin
ming of another. Still it is collapse, and
once more has Sir Evelyn Barring proved
himself more than match for his adver-
saries ON the Nile. 1t has been known
since the accession of the present Khedive
that mischief was afoOt. The Sultan long
delayed sending that frman of investiture
which was necessary to make the position
OF Abbas officially correct. The reason for
his delay remained mystery. When at
last the firman arrived in Cairo the mystery
was revealed. The Sultan had thought this
favorable opportunity for resuming direct
control over part Of Egypt The part he
hoped thus to reannex was none other than
the Peninsula OF Sinai. AS the Peninsula
Of Sinai happens to include the left bank OF
the SueZ Canal, the scheme was one Of the
prettiest that has been heard of for some
years. 1t tmight give Turkey, and whoever
was behind Turkey, something like an alb
solute veto On the navigation If the canal
1t would give at least continuous right of
interference with that great waterway and
q practical control over it. True, Sinai
was that part OF Egypt which lsmail had
paid for. The Sultan had received the price
and now thought he would like the terri
tory too. The firman which invested the
Khedive with the government Of Egypt was
to strip Egypt Of a province and England of
the best part of her protectorate, and Sir
Evelyn Barring WAS expected to allow
document OF this kind to be proclaimed
without troubling himself about its contents.
Sir Evelyn Barring has governed Egypt
Tor nine years. He could not have governed
Ii nine days were he a man to be fooled by
device 80 flimsy as this. OF course he said
be must see the frman before it was read.
The Suitan's envoy. who had the frman In
charge, had to give way. Sir Evelyn de-
clared at once tiat England could OF assent
to any change in the delimitation of the
boundaries Of Egypt. He had a straight
talk by telegraph with Constantinople,
where the new English Ambassador, Sir
Clare Ford, did lis part of the business
with decision. Ii WAS seen that the game
was up, SO the Sultan gave way; Egypt re-
tains Sinai. and English authority in Egypt
is unimpaired 1t is egen strengthened.
Every abortiye attempt to undermine it

DEMOCRATS ARE DOUBTFUL.
1t Is Suggested That Hill Retire in Favor Of
Cleveland or Flower.

NEW YORK, April IA morning paper
publishes special from Rochester saying
that a strong personal friend of Senator
Hill says that he is certain that Hill will
not be nominated and thinks Hill himself
realizes it is impossible and is consulting
with friends in order to put himself in line
for 1896. At a conference at Albany, said
the informant, 1t was seriously sug-
gested after the first ballot in the Chicago
convention that Governor Flower be placed
in nomination by the New York delegation,
Hill making the nominating speech as
substitute for the delegate from Elmira
district, Alexander Eustace being ready to
resign in his favor. Hill is giving the mat
ter serious consideration. Some friends
among the Tammany leaders urge him TO
consent to place Grover Cleveland in nomi-
nation, and say that this will be the most
polite course for him 10 adopt, as Cleve-
lands nomination seems inevitable. IL he
adopts that course and Cleveland Is sue
cessful Hill will undoubtedly secure the ad-
ministration's support for his own aspira-
tiOns for 1896. IL Cleveland is unsuccessful
at The polls Hills friends will again insist
that he is the only man who can carry New
York and they will again demand his nomi
nation in 1896.

Wealthy Californian Goes East to Search

New YORK, April 1.-THE following
personal appeared in the Herald yesterday:
"Any one knowing the whereabouts of
j. W. Heath will confer favor by ad-
dressing D. Hanley, corner of Avenue
ID and Ninetieth street, New York. By
his brother, j. F. Heath" Ex- Coroner
Daniel Hanley told me that John
w. Heath, the missing man, and
James f. Heath, who Is looking for him,
came to this city from Peekskill, N. Y,
about 20 years ago to seek their fortunes.
They entered the employ of ex-Congress-
man Harvey Calking John learned the
trade Of tinsmith. James became plumber.
James in 1874 went to San Fran
cisco; he corresponded with his brother
regularly for number of years,
but finally Johns letters stopped. There
had been no quarrel. and the only reason
that James could think of for his brothers
silence was that he was un uccessfui, and
preferred to endure poverty without troub-
ling his friends. Ihe Californian de-
termined to como to New York and
try to find John. and. il he was i'm
need, take him back to his own comfortable
home on the Pacific Coast. On reaching this
city two weeks ago he sought Hanley, who
had known both brothers years ago. Han
ley last saw John Heath about seven years
ago, when he was working in stove ware
house on Fulton street, and did not seem
particularly prosperous.
