MUNoHAUsEN's TALES.
southey Was Once introduced to the
Nephew of the Famous Baron.

NSpneW OF the famous Baron.
From the Letters OF Sir Walter Scott.
Southey once wrote to Sir Walter Scott
as follows on the origin of Munchausen's
tales:
"Of Baron, Munchausen 1 can tell you
something Some years ago in London |
was little startled at hearing foreigner
ushered under this title into a musical
party. As this naturally led to inquiries
on my part was referred to the gentle
man himself, who very good humoredly
told me he was the nephew of the cele-
brated Baron Muuchausen, who was a
minister under Frederick of Prussia.
1T seems the old baron was humorist,
who, after dinner, especially If he hap
peneu TO have any guests who were likely
TO be taken in by his marvels, used to
amuse himself by inventing or retailing
such marvellous adventures as are con-
tanned in the volumes which bear his
name. He added, his uncle was in other
respects sensible, veracious man, and
that his adventures were only told by the
way OF quizzing or amusing society.
"A starving German literatus, whose
name have forgot, who knew the baron.
and thought he had been neglected by
him, compiled the book in revenge partly
from the stories of the baron, partly from
other sources, and partly from his
mothers wit. II proved good hit for the
bookseller, as the baron S name and humor
We're well known, and by degrees made
its way into other countries as a book of
entertainment"

CALLED HoxIE's BLUFF.
Henrotin Agrees to Buy the Whole
Chicago Alley Elevated Road.


Chicago Alley Elevated Road.
Chicago, Jan. 15.--John r. Hoxie, worth
81, 900 900, offered to sell Broker Charles
Henrotin the entire capital stock of the
Alley raised road at 81 on the stock ex-
change this afternoon, and Henrotin
called the bluff The entire capitalization
is 81 800 900, and if Henrotin can enforce
the contract he will have to drawihis
check for s., 1856, 600
The incident occurred between calls.
and caused the greatest excitement in
stock brokerage circles. Henrotin was
bidding 81 for Alley elevated stock, and
seemingly wasanxious to get some at that
that figure.
II will sell you all you want at 81,
said Hoxie, sneeringly. How much do
you WANT"
II want good deal, +" replied Henrotin.
POSSIBLY more than you can deliver"
II guess not rejoined Hoxie. Il will
sell you the whole capital stock at 81"
Quick as lightning came the response:
II will take it."
Hoxie insisted on treating the affair as
joke, but Henrotin demanded that the
trade be duly accorded. A hot wrangle
ensued, Heurotin taking down the names
of witnesses and announcing his intention
of compelling the enforcement of the con-
tract or settlement. He became greatly
excited, and said he would carry it TO the
highest court in the land, and insisted
that Hoxie could no more evade con-
tract for 20, 900 shares than for one share.
On the reassem bling of the exchange at
O'Clock Chairman Wilkins, to whom the
matter had been explained, said he had
decided that on account of the magnitude
OF the trade he would refer the case TO the
governing committee, which would render
its decision tomorrow, During the dis
cussion Henrotin offered to settle his claim
for l per cent of the capital stock which
would amount to $4,000 Hoxie indig-
nantly refused the offer and Henrotin
said afterward that he was glad of it.
HoXie has made an immense fortune in
live stock. He also made a big coup on
Wall street several years ago in Dansas
and Texas. and was exceedingly fortunate
in local investments. He has made a
speciality of Alley elevated Henrotin is
one of the founders of the stock exchange.

has abated but several trains are
showed III ten miles from this city.
One train, going west, which lcf5
here Tuesday, has not been heard
from since il left. All traffic has been

THE HEAVENLY TWINS"
An Estimate and Criticism Of a Popu
lar Story.

Correspondence Charlotte Observer
In The Heavenly Twins" Sarah
Grand has an idea, and she makes it
the nucleus of her stories like II stone
in a snow bali, and lings it at socie
ty as did the author of David Grieve
and Robert EIsmere. This book is
not great but it is original and
strong, and all the world is talking
about it. The whole tone of the
story is gloomy, while the characters
are eXtravagant and unreal; hut the
book is full of striking epigrams,
progressive ideas and delicious bits
of descriptions of natural scenery.
Avadne is Il little prig, though at
first she is interesting with her high
ideals and her thirst for knowledge.
She hecomes almost ridiculous and
decidedly weak when she declines to
study, talk, or interest herself in
| anything or anybody because she has
promised her husband that she will
not go upon the lecture platform Or
write for the newspapers. The Heav
| enly Twins themselves are amusing
aud witty, but so pert and spiteful
that no mother, no matter how ad-
vanced, would care to possess such
| little imps.
The proem is a magnificent piece of
writing. The running acc"mpani-
ment Of the chimes pealing forth tne
words of Mendel5sohn's Elijah: "He,
watching over Israel, slumbers not,
nor sleeps" is haunting aud artistic.
The fascinating interlude of the Boy
aud the Tenor is, with all its extrav-
agance, both poetic and pathetic.
| Taken as whole, it is an intensely
interesting piece of fiction and incuI-
Gates ideas which, if lived up to.
would soon bring about the lnillen'
| ium. Z.

WINSTON TOBACCO.

Interview with One OF Our Mot
Prominent manufacturers.
a SENTINEL representative this
morning saw DR.. w. L. Brown, of
Brown Brothers Co., and asked him
how business had been with his firm
last year. ''It was good" responded
the genial President of one Of Win
ston's largest tobacco factories.
when did you quit work last year
and when did you commence this
year?"
1--WE quit on the oath of December
and began again about the 1St OF Feb
ruary. We started little earlier than
last year"
"How many hands do you work?"
''We started with about 250, but en-
Monday we increased the force to 500
That is nearly our full force"
Are orders ample for this sea-
SOM"
YES" replied the DR.. Brown; in
| fact, we are now behind several thou
sane boxes"
"Where do you sell most;" ques-
| toned the news gatherer.
''Our trade is about equally divided
! between North and South; the in
crease of trade is from both sections -
'HOW are collections ?"
''They are good"
! ''Youexpect to do as much business
| this year as last?"
I'VE will do MORE" said DR.. Brown,
modestly but emphatically.
You evidently make no complaint
of hard times. Are money matters
easy?"
1--WE can get all the money we want
without any trouble"
Doctor, what is your opinion about
| Winston's busine-s:"
winston is now recovering rapid
ly," he responded, land she will sooL
be her former self in spite of the past
stringency. We are recovering more
rapidly than we had any right to ex
| pect under the circumstances"
/ NOW, / want to ask you about
prices paid the tobacco raisers," sale
the SENTINEL man.
Prices are good considering tn,
product. Farmers are getting good
satisfactory prices for good tobacco
they are getting what you might cal
outside prices for good leaf. OF com
mon goods, on account of their grea
abundance, prices are lower than las
year, but even they have advanced
within two weeks"

ofthe " ater Sent TO State Chemist.
A new mineral spring which is Gre
ating considerable excitement has
been discovered on South Side
Mr.. Childs, OF Lassiter s. Childs,
contractors, has been at work for some
time with d force of hands, for Mr..
McClement, laying out and beautify-
ing the Street Railways park in front
of Mr.. Allen Kings residence.
The workmen, noting the fact that
strong stream came out OF the hill
side and that the water was not only
particularly clear and cold but that
it had colored the leaves and grass,
proceeded to dig out larger opening
and to drink the water in preference
to that from other springs. The eff
feet was so noticeable that all agreed
it must have mineral properties.
Mr.. McClement, superintendent of
the Street Railway, and Mr.. j. II.
Stockton proceeded to make Il careful
investigation and invited several per-
sons to try the water. All agree that
it's effects upon the system seem to be
exactly like those produced by the
Piedmont Springs.
A quality of the water has been
sent to the State Chemist for his
analysis Probably hundred visitors
tried the water Friday afternoon.
The spring is only stones throw
from the western terminus Of the
street car line beyond Mr.. HarInan's
residence
