OF Rare Interest.
(Religious Herald)

The esteemed Richmond Dispatch fol-
lows its custom Of printing a New-Year' s
number of rare interest and value. Its
compendous and comprehensive review OF

prevailed throughout the land. New en-
terprises of great magnitude have been
established and there has been marked
improvenent in every line OF business.

CONVERT THE HOUSE INTO FLATS.
The Residence Long Occupied by DIR.
Hoge TO BE RemOdelIed.

The house occupied for nearly thirty
six years by the late Rev. DR.. Moses ID.
Hoge will be vacated by the members of
his family in the near future, and will
probably be converted into flats by the
owner, Dr. Jud Il. Wood. The owner has
long been desirous Of making such an
alteration, but DR.. Hoge was so much
attached to the house. by reason Of its
proximity to his church, that he induced
his landlord to allow him to retain 1t as
long as he lived. He paid $1,000 year
rent.
The house is one Of the oldest in the
city. It was built nearly 130 years ago,
and has been occupied from time TO time
by some of the most distinguished fami-
lies in Virginia. It's walls are all very
massive. and builders who have been call
ed in to make alterations within the last
few years say that they would soon
cut through a solid piece Of rock as
through the thick brick walls that are
found in the interior.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gillian and other MEM
bers OF DR. Hoges family will continue
to reside i'm the house until spring, at

Story of a WiIa Rnv-

The story of Peter, the wild boy" is told on the brass erected to his mem- ory in the parish church of North church, Hertfordshira, England. The celebrated Doctor Arbuthnot made a special study of Peter, but failed to make anything of him, and, when the novelty of his appearance had worn off and he had been induced to wear the garb of civilization, he was pen- stoned off and sent to the village of Northehurch. But he retained his vag- abond habits and gave his guardian much trouble by wandering off to dis tant counties. As he could not speak or make himself understood of stran- gers, this propensity for straying brought him into trouble, and he was sometimes arrested as an obstinate beggar who would not give an account of himself. Thus it was that a brass collar, engraved with his name and address, was fitted to his neck. lie IS said to have been fond of music. and he used to dance to express his delight at the sound of musical instruments. His tombstone is still standing near the doorway of Northcburch church. When he died he was 72 years old.

Good Things.

Starting with one car, and a funeral car at that, the Pullman Palace Car company in B years laid aside a sur. plus of $24,000,0O0, which was divided between the stockholders. How cur ious it all seems. PuIlman's hearse on the rail brought him great fortune. yet he disinherited his two sons. It has always been a superstition that hearses brought i'll luck. Another amazing success was Edison Electric, which went begging at 45. A broker bought 20 shares for $500, and sold 10 of them a year later for $30,000. Bell Telephone stock started at a low price, but went to 200, and made many rich. There is no end of these good things.

saIted the Giant Powder.

If you never had a mine salted on you,' remarked an old-time Colorado miner. recently, "you have missed half of your chance to get good expe- rienee."
 Did you ever have it happen to you?" asked the stranger from the East.
 Yes. my very first lesson cost me S50o0, when l bought mine in Lead vile that had been tunnelled into the mountain side for nearly 200 feet. I had heard of the trick of salting prop critics, so after the man showed me what there was in sight he invited ne to go right ahead and blast out several feet in order to satisfy myself, which I did, and the ore seemed to be just as good as it was when he was working it. Of course I bought it, and then it never paid a cent--it was salted.'
 But how could they salt three or four feet into the solid rock?"
 There was the trick of it. They didn't salt the rock, but put gold colors Into the giant powder, and as long as that lasted there was gold in sight"

American St0nea.

American precious stones are of more Importance than is generally known to those not connected with the trade. The Maine tourma1ines are unequaled in color, the uthia emerald of North Carolina has never been found in any other country, and the beryls of Con- neeticut are of a fine golden yellow. California chEysophrase resembles the apple green Chinese jadeite, a beauti- ful rose quartz comes from South Da- kota and a large quantity of rough Montana sapphires is sent to London to be cut. The main part of the worlds supply of turquoises is obtained in New Mexico. No doubt the new possessions will add to the American production of gems. 9 business as yet in it's infancy.

The banker got out before his companion, and be- fore he did so asked the latter how far he was going. The gentleman replied, ITO Vienna ; T have a daughter very well married there,P said the bankerT should like to give you note of intro duction to her" T have also a daugh- ter very well married there, said the other.

Ancienf Mnr ennrn-

Julius Caesar had his men sing songs of triumph after Q victory and some of the verses are in existence to-day. Edward I. had the Welsh bards put to death because he thought they melted the soldiers to battle. In Spain many traces of Roman war songs are to be found Spanish and Portuguese war songs were called romancers. The Cid. written in the twelfth century, has al- ways been the martial inspiration of the Spaniards. What the Cid is to Spain the Roland is to France. The "Chanson De Roland" has been sung since the eleventh century, and has 1,500 verses.

TRAITS OF THE CAT.
Some Points Which Prove It to be soli-
 tary Animal.

tary Animal.
 All the cats habits show it to be by nature a solitary animal Even In early life, when family ties bring out the instinct of association, this is ap- parent. If you compare the play of puppies with that of kitten you will find in one case that companionship of some kind is essential, for If puppy has no playmate of his own species he will always try to make one of the nearest biped; whereas a cork or a bit of string is all that is necessary to sat- tsfy the requirements of the kitten. The way in which the cat takes its food is a sure sign that in its natural state it is not in the habit of associating with greedy companions.
 When given something to eat 1t first carefully smells the morsel, then takes it in a deliberate and gingerly way, and sits down to finish it at leisure. There is none of that inclination 70 snatch hastily at any food held before It which we observe even in well train- ed dogs, nor does a cat seem in any hurry to stow it's goods in the one place where thieving rivals cannot interfere with them. Indeed, no greater contrast in natural table manners can be ob- served anywhere than when we turn from the kennel or the pigsty and watch the dainty way in which a eat takes its meals. That a cat allows peo- pie to approach it while feeding with out showing jealousy proves that it does not attribute to human beings like tastes with it's own.

The Fishing Cases.

VI PROPERLY reported, Judge
Allbright's decision in the
n Stroudsburg fishing cases fur
nishes food for reflection on the
part of sportsmen and the public gem
orally. The opinion Of the Lehigh
court in the case decides:
First. that a fisherman is guilty of tres
pass who enters stream and fishes
without the consent of the land owner,
although he wadcs the stream and does
not touch the dry land. Second, the fact
that the state has stocked the streams
with fish does not make it a public
stream.
While the equity of the first sentence
will probably be readily recognized.
there may be some question about the
second. Farmers and members Of
game associations should undoubtedly
be protected in their rights and from
the inroads of unscrupulous poachers,
but it hardly seems fair that certain
individuals should be allowed to fence
in streams that have been stocked a.
the expense of the state If the state
hatcheries are to be conducted in the
interest of a lew persons who are for
tunate enough TO own the land about
ponds and running streams. it would
seem better plan to allow that class
to contribute more generously to the
support of the institutions.

Persons who are raising objections
to the flood Of Spanish war pension ap-
plications. display poor judgment. The
Spanish war was conducted with neat
ness and dispatch that saved the gov
ernment many millions. The pension
officials cannot be too generous in re-
warding the survivors of the dead he
roes, or those who have in any man
ner been injured while risking their
lives in the service of their country.
Splitting hairs and haggling at techni-
calities in pension distribution is de-
spicable business.

The Gentleman from Indiana.

HE GOOD impression which
Indiana's young senator, Mr..
n Beveridge, made when first
he came into national view
increases steadily. A review of recent
incidents sustains this opinion.
Shortly after his election he went to
the Philippines and spent a consider
able time there studying the situation
at first hand. He did not hook at con-
ditions there through others eyes. He
examined them in person, travelling
about the country, visiting the camps,
the hospitals, the firing line and the
natives at their homes. He had al
ready won fame as an orator, and his
new senatorial honor marked him as
a man whose conclusions would possess
widespread interest, but neither then
nor since has he sought to proclaim
his opinions of the Philippine problem
from the hOusetOps. In indianapolis
the other day he was asked if he in
tended to make a speech in the sem
ate on this subject. He replied that
it would depend upon whether a
speech from him would do any good,
He would not, he said, do any talking
for the sake of advertising himself,
Another illustration of admirable
self-command unusual in young men
suddenly elevated to high position was
supplied in the biography which he
supplied for the congressional direc-
tory published by the government.
Many members of congress utilize this
publication as a means of exploiting
themselves somewhat effusvely but
Mr.. Beveridge contributed the short
est and most modest biography in the
book. 1t told when and where he was
born, where he was educated, when
and whom he married and the date
Of his elecson as senator, and that was
all.
Senator Beverdges statement re-
garding the Quay case is another in
stance in point. 1t is as follows: "The
talk about Quay not having votes
enough to seat him is nonsense, so are
the claims that he has enough votes "a
seat him. Nobody knows, for example
how I shall vote. I know that great
many other senators are in exactly the
| same situation. The whole matter is a
pure question OF constitutional con.
struction. All this talk about corrupt
elections, etc, has nothing to do with
| the case. Quay is not claiming through
an election. He is claiming through ar
! appointment By the governor. Tn,
