''Mr. Flint, am very glad to hear
you talk with so much discretion and
with an eye both to business and kind
ness. / haven't considered Wiley
Amerson as bad as some people pre-
tend to say, especially Of late. When
his father died, he didn't think it would
be quite becoming in him to tear up
the will that had been left with him
for safe keeping, and go about telling
people that the old man hadn't sense
enough to know what to do with his
property after working fifty and sixty
years to get it."

necessary to go behind 1t, searching
too minutely for other attractions.
This afternoon he did try for awhile to
frame few phrases such as he used to
hear of others employing on such in
teresting occasions; but he found, to
his regret, that his vocabulary, though
Astounding with words on other sub
jects, seemed to have next TO none for
the case now on his hands.
"Psherl" he once spoke aloud, and
with some contempt. It was at the
instant when his mind came to the
conclusion that it was useless for him
to try to 60 at the work before him In
any way different from that in which
he habitually went to all others. Then
to the interjection just now put forth
he subjoined the following remarks:
"If she will, she will, and If she won't,
she won't, like all winning does
That's all they is in It,"
For the rest of his journey he seemed
sufficiently calm. The Enlow house, q

for the New York Mail and Express,
brought out the fact that fully twenty
thousand horses, mules and donkeys

seemed so Incredible that further and

other words. with more than two
inches Of fat. The other market,

had full variety, horse, mule and
donkey meats and sausages from each

customers were purchasing and paying
their money, coming and going with
out seeming to think their purchases
were of kind to attract any unusual
attention. The inquiries brought out
the facts as to the very high prices of
meat in Paris. A choice beefsteak
costs fifty cents per pound; an ordi-
nary cut thirty cents. A choice cut of
horse, donkey or mule steak costs
twenty cents per pound, while the or
dinary cuts run to ten cents, so that
after all 1t is cheapness, not taste, that
impels or compels people to buy these
varieties of animal food.
