ROBERT BONNER.

There died in New York, last week,
one of the most remarkable men who
have contributed to the making of
that great city. A poor boy, of Scotch
Irish ancestry, coming to this country
at the age of fifteen, Robert Bonner
numbered among his intimate friends
such men as Henry Ward Beecher and
John Hall-two of the most celebrated
preachers in the United States. It
was in 1856 that he set out to make a
story paper that should have a wide
circulation. To secure the 50O,0
subscribers which his paper had, he
paid as high as $25, 900 a week for ad-
vertising. There was time when no
periodical in this country could COM
mand such a brilliant cOterie of emf
nent contributors as the New York
Ledger. Fanny Fern, then in the very
height of her popularity, was paid
800 column for an article of ten
columns; Edward Everett wrote fifty
two weekly articles in consideration
of $40, 900 given by MIR. Bonner to the
Mount Vernon Association and Henry
Ward Beecher was paid $50, 900 for his
continued story. Dickens, Tennyson,
Bryant, SAKE, Paxton, Willis, Horace
Greeley, and many other distinguished
men, were contributors to a paper
which never published anything that
was not clean, although much of it
could not be called wholesome read
ing. No one man ever had such
splendid collection of horses as Mr..
Bonner, and no man ever loved horses
more. 1t is to be noticed that al
though he owned some of the feetest
horses in the world, he never allowed
any horse of his to race for money.
When criticised for spending 100000
to crafty his love for horses, he used
to say that he had given to religion
and benevolent enterprises a much
larger sum than that.-Ecchdnge.

leaves-or fronds, as they are called
in ferns-spring from the upper sur
face. The fronds reach height of
II or IA feet, and have long, bare
stalk before the leaf is spread out.
The Tartar takes a suitable part of
this creeping stem for a body, de-
prives it of the roots and of all the
leaf stalks except four, which are
intended to be the legs, two SHORT
ones for the ears and q stump for

down, trims the stem. and SO pro-
duces this marvel of the early ex-

THE TARTARlAN LAMB.
A Strange Plant That Closely Resembles
a Little Lamb.

A Strange Plant That Closely Resembles
a Little Lamb.
Among the strange stories to be
found in the narratives of early
travellers few are stranger than
that of the vegetable lamb of Tar
tary. This story, as believed by the
reading public and even by the nat
uralists of two centuries ago, is SO
marvellous and so obviously absurd
that we wonder how the most cred
ulous could have believed it to be
true.
The story is that, in an elevated
and cultivated salt plain Of great
extent west of the river Volga,
there may be found creature half
ANIMAL half plant, to which the ma
tives give the name of barometz,
meaning little lamb" To obtain
it the Tartars sow in the ground
seed like that of melon, from
which, in due time, rises the strange
plant, having the figure of lamb,
with the feet, the hoofs, the ears
and the whole head, except the
horns, of that animal, distinctly
formed.
1t grows on stalk lbout three feet
in height, being, according to one
version, rooted to the ground by its
four feet, while another account
raises the whole lamb, feet and all,
from the ground on single stem,
on which it is able to turn, and also
to bow itself downward to the herbs
on which it feeds. 1t lives as long
as there is grass or herbage around
it, but when it has consumed all
within its reach it dies and withers
away. It's skin is covered with
very white down, as fine as silk,
and is greatly priced by the Tartars,
who pull it off and wear it as
cover for the head.
Inside it is composed of flesh and
bones, and when wounded it gives
out a liquid resembling blood.
Wolves are said TO be the only ami
mails that will eat it, and they are
very fond of it.
Specimens of this remarkable pro-
duction were looked upon as the
rarest treasures in the collections of
the curious in days gone by. Two
different specimens have been de-
scribed in the Philosophical Trans
actions" and a third has its portrait
given in an engraving in Darwin's
Flower Garden and its history
told in the fiorid verse Of that work.
The lamb" is a natural produc-
ton, greatly helped in the develop
ment of the particulars in which it
most resembles that creature by
the ingenuity of the natives. The
body is a portion of the creeping |
stem of species of fern which gen.
orally grows as erect as tree. This
stem is densely covered with beau
tiful, jointed, silky hairs Of a rich
golden color. i

DOUGLAS HOSPITAL.
A New but Worthy Charitable Insti-
tution-It Depends Upon the
Public for Support.

OF the various charitable institutions of
Kansas City. kas., the worth of which
has been felt during the recent epidemic
of grip in the metropolis. the new Douglass
hospital stands in the front rank. 1t was
founded December 15, 1888. by a number of
enterprising colored citizens of the two
Kansas Citys. 1t was. and is yet, an ex-
pertinent, but the success Of the institution
during it's short existence has SO encour-
aged the promoters that they now feel
confident that it will soon be one Of the
essential institutions of the city.
Although the hospital was organized ex-
clusively by colored people. for the care
and comfort Of the sick and crippled mem
bers of their race, the color line is not
drawn, whites being given the same atten-
ton. 1t happened that the very first pa
tient to be admitted to the hospital was
a white man. Since it opened last month
from four to five patients have been in
the Hospital constantly. seven now receiv-
ing medical attention there. The hospital
fund was started by small contributions
from representative colored people of the
running expenses has been very low, by
good management nothing has been omit
ted which was actually needed in the care
of the patients.
The management will depend largely
upon public contributions, as 1t is q char.
liable institution. OF course, when pa
tients can conveniently pay something for
be cheerfully accepted. The populace of
the two cities will be expected to con-
tribute sufficient money to defray the
actual expenses.
