Vanderbilt Not Up on Music.

Cornelius Vanderbilt and Chauncey M Depew once addressed tho seventh annual conference of the railroad department of the Young Mems Christian association in the railroad building at Forty-cighth street and Madison avenue. Mir Wander bilt presided, and MT. Depew sat just at his left. There was a violin solo on the programme by Miss Marguaritha Rasmus- sen, an extremely pretty girl and an &C., complished violinist and to MT. Wander bilt fell the duty of introducing her. This he did with all the grace of a presentation nt 0 Patriarchs' ball, but he then made the mistake of attempting to turn her music
 tSchone de Ballet" went all right until tho fair performer had almost ended the first page Either ho was unfamiliar with tho "Soheme dc Balet'' or absentminded. Tho bow squeaked pathetically across tho strings, and the girl looked frightened. Then she glared indignantly at MT. Van derblt and flushed crimson and turned tho page spasmodically.
 There was smooth interval then until the end of the third page was reached. MT. Vanderbilt looked abstracted and didn't turn. Dr. Depew smiled seraphically, and the solo came to an abrupt stop. Every body laughed and applauded, and Dr. De- pew never lost his smile When the solo was resumed, Miss Rasmussen turned her own pages, and MT. Vanderbilt sat down, looking self conscious and uncomfortable. Chicago Herald.

THE euNsoAT WAS A DUMMY.
But It Was the Capse of S1OO,0OO Dam-
 age to the Confederacy.

But 1t Was the Caase of G1OO,0OO Dam
 age to the Confectionery.
 A we'll known rivcrman who lives in Jeffersonvillo recollccts this story of the war: Its joke," he said, but it cost the Confcderacy cool S100,00O. The Confedcrates had sunk and captured the Federal monitor Indianola at the head of Hurricane island, some few miles below Vioksburg. It. was at the time the navy was attempting to run the Vicksburg bat teries. A lieutenant of artillery, with Q squad of men in charge of the boat, had been left while they sent back to Red river for assistance to raise tho vessel. In the meantime the joke was planned. Who the originator was is not known, but Ad- miral Porter received the credit.
 "A bogus ram was built. On an enor- nous log raft was erected superstructure that resembled a terrible ironclad. Ponce rails and boards were used to make an imitation ironclad casemate gunboat. Guns protruded from the ports, and pork barrels stacked high served for ohiln- neys. Underneath them hearth of earth had been made. Fires were built of fuei which made the blackest of smoke. With out engines gun or crew this bugaboo was set adrift few miles above Vicks- burg. On came the monster. Within an hour it had reached the city. Clouds of smoke rolled out of its chimnoys, and as it was just breaking day. the time when both sides anticipated an attack, the Con federate sentries detected the demon. There was hurrying and skurrying. but not a shot broke the stiffness until the dummy had reached point blank range. Vicksburg will never be awakened by such another noise. It lasted an hour. Shots raked it and hulled it, but it still fioated defantly. At last the current swept it nearer to the shore Then the besiegcrs read in rudely made letters on one side, Secesh sold' On the other side were the letters, Confederate states mail packet
 'In the meantime the discharge of artil- ,lery had warned the lieutenant in charge of the Indianola that the hour for action was at hand. In his imagination the lieu tenant saw gunboats galore belching forth death and destruction, He would not per init the enemy to recapture tho Indianola. Hastily placing all the powder he had in the turrets of the monitor ho applied slow match and rotreated. Only few moments elapsed, and all that remained above decks of the ironclad was Q mass of debris. About that time the dreaded gun boat came sailing by and ran on to sand bar short distance below
 "The Indianola could have been raised by the Confederates and would haye been a formidable vessel in their hands had not the lieutenant been SO nasty in destroying her. She was armed with two II inch and two inch Columbiads, two of which were destroyed. The other two were re- covered and taken up Red river. Louis vile Courier-Journal.

xenophon as a Dog Fancier.

Xenophon opens his disquisition on hounds by an enumeration of all the de- fects physical and moral, which hound should not possess wherein it is easy to recognize all the failings which are still among us Leggy hounds, weedy hounds, flat sided hounds flat footed hounds, un- dersized hounds, headstrong hounds, flashy hounds, sulky hounds, dwellers, babblers, skirters-all arc faithfully portrayed and uncompromisingly condemned. Hounds with such faults as these, whether due to nature or to bad training arc of little worth. They are enough to disgust even truly keen sportsman.
 A good hound should have a light, small, sinowy head, a long, round, flexible neck, broad chest, free shoulders, straight, round, wiry forelcgs, straight knees, round sides, muscular Joins, full Hanks, but not too full. His thighs should be firm, com pact and well let down, his feet round, and his stern long, straight and tapering. Such isXenophon's description of good hound. It seems to us not amiss for the fourth century before our era.-Macmillan's Magazine

CAPTAIN ED BOOKER.

The AoE-HERALD regrets to hear that the senate refused to confirm the recom- mendation- of the governor as to Colonel Tunstall for railroad commissioner. Colo uel Tunstall is too good democrat to be turned down after his name was sent up by the governor, but if in the wisdom of the senate they saw fit to differ with his excelency, the eE-HERALD submits. We are informed that Capt. Ed Booker is strong candidate, with a large following. No stronger or purer democrat lives in this or any other state, and if Governor Oates should con- slider his claims favorabiy he will give sat- isfaciion to the entire democracy of Ala bama, as no better man lives than genial Ed BnOker.

 Nothing can be so high priced but that purchasers &vill appear. A western manu- facturer has placed upon the market 0 fancy brand of cigars in all the fashion able sizes, each of which is incased in a handsome glass vial the end of which is hermetically sealed. It is explained that "by this process the aroma and exquisite qualities of the tobacco are preserved and the effects reached which are said to be found in the cigars smoked by the crowned heads of Europe, and for which fabulous prices are paid. Cigars put up in this style sell at from 40 to 60 cents each by the box, containing 25, and will no doubt become popular for awhile among young men who have money to burn. "-New York World.

MISS KATE NJ. pOWEk. Miss ROVER II
the daughter Of Colonel j. L. Power Of
Jackson, Miss, the veteran editor OF
The Clarion, which for many years has
been the official paper OF the state OF
Mississippi Colonel Power was ambi-
tious 10 become secretary of state There
were two other candidates IN the field,
and a hot campaign lay between him
and the goal Of his ambition.
Early IN the campaign Colonel Power
was taken seriously i'll. He managed TO
direct his canvass for few days from
his bedside, bit steadily grew worse, SO
il was impossible for him TO do any
thing toward securing the nomination.
His prospect Of getting the Office seemed
hopeless. His family feared that III his
weakened condition if he were defeated
his life would pay the penalty 1t was
then that his brave daughter came 10
the front and took charge of his waning
canvass and heroically carried 1t to
successful termination. She had lived
in the air Of politics for years, as Jack
son is city Of politicians, and had
been for q time on the staff Of The ClaI-
ion She began by writing personal
letters to all of Colonel Powers and her
own friends, announcing his illness and
that she was in charge Of his canvass.
Then followed addresses to the men OF
Mississippi, published in many Of the
papers of the state, and finally she made
a personal canvass among the voters in
nearly all the counties, showing the tact
and shrewdness of veteran campaigner
She directed the course Of her fathers
delegates in the convention and won
the campaign. The crowning marvel is
that Miss Power is strong antisuffra-
gist.
Miss Power is typical daughter of
the south. She is rather tall, with black
hair and large, lustrous chestnut brown
eyes. shadowed by long dark lashes, and
is an accomplished and attractive young
woman. She is the editor Of a review,
the only one in the gulf states pub
lished by woman.

The father, thinking it strange thing,
