On Monday of last week Mrs.
Elizabeth Osborn arrived here from
Sacramento, Cal, with the intention
of locating with her daughter, Mrs.
Ben. Blewett. The sensational ac-
counts in the Milwaukee and other
dailys Of Mrs. Osborn being robbed
while enroute proved nothing more
than the product of reckless report
ers, style so commonly indulged
in nowadays that the general public
is losing faith in the reliability of
the big dailies. True, there was some
npleasantness experienced where
money was involved. 1t appears
that when Mrs. Osborn neared Dem

old, her mind was weakened and

possession respectable sum IN gold
and bank checks to the amount of
$500, of which they took charge.
There being a Madison man on the
same train homeward bound, Mrs. O.

companied her TO this city and gave
the address Of the parties holding

made by Mr.. Blewett the entire
amount, to the penny, was promptly
forwarded, and contentment reigns.

Remarkable Drinks.

OF the many extraordinary drinks
regularly consumed, the blood Of live
horses may perhaps be considered the
most so. Marco Polo and Carpini were
the first to tell the world of the Tartar
practice of opening the veins in horses
necks, taking drink, and closing the
wound again. AS far as can be seen,
this has been the practice from time
immemorial. There is a wine habitu-
ally consumed in China which is made
from the flesh of lambs reduced to
paste with milk, or bruised into pulp
with rice, and then fermented. 1t Is
extremely stimulating to the physical
organism. The Laplanders drink a
great deal of smoked snow-water, and
one of the national drinks of the Ton
quinese is arrack favored with chick
ems blood. The list would scarcely be
complete without mention of absinthe,
which may be called the national spir-
ituous drink of France. 1t is hor-
rible compound of alcohol, anise, cori-
ander, fennel, NORWOOD, indigo, and
sulphate of copper. 1t is strong, nasty
and a moral and physical poison

From time to time it has been ru-
mored that CRATES existed in British
Central Africa, on the Loangwa river,
but although that river valley has been
frequently visited during the last ten
years by Europeans, no authentic In
formation on the point has ever been
obtained. Last month, however, CIR
affe was shot on the east bank OF the
Loangwa in the Marimba district, by
European prospector, and its skin Qn-
completely sent in to Capt. Chichester,
in Mpezeni's country. The hinder nall
of the skin is being sent to the British
museum. and it is hoped that COM
plete specimen may now be obtained.
The existence of giraffes in Miranda
is remarkable, the area in which they
are found is extremely restricted, and
their number appears to be very few.
The one shot, however, was in herd
of about thirty-five. The nearest coun-
try north of Mariamba, in which CIR
affes are known to exist, is north OF
Mareres, where the Elton-Cotterill ex-
petition met with them (many years
ago). To the south of Matabeleland
is the nearest giraffe country.

Harper's Bazaar. The beginning of the
