A RICH AFRO-AMERICAN,

Probably the wealthiest Afro
American in America is guest of his
children in Reidsville, Md. He was
born slave in Henry county, Va, 81
years ago. BY ownership his name
would be Edward Abingdon, but, like
many other slaves he preferred that of
his father and took the name of Ed
ward Dillard-.fDr." billiard, as his
friends style him, he having been a
successful druggist in Chicago for sew
eral years. He made his escape from
slavery in 1863 and made his way to
Pittsburg, where he made $3.50 a day
shoveling pig iron and lived on 80
cents day until he had saved up 81, 400
when he bought a horse and cart and
began peddling coal, working in the
day and studying at night. He went to
Chicago and opened a, drug store. He
employed capable drug clerk, whose
| duties were to wait on customers and
teach the proprietor the druggists art.
His establishment was burned in the
great Chicago fire, but he was saved
from loss, and made a little better off
by an insurance policy of $4,000. He
again opened up in the drug business,
but soon sold out for $4,000 cash. He
then went to- Australia and embarked
in the cattle business. In the mean
time he had purchased, years before,
a piece of suburban real estate then
| near, but now in the heart of the city
Eof Chicago, and for which he has re-
fcently refused an offer of more than
100000. He also owns valuable es-
tate in Australia The other day he
deposited with Danville bank two
drafts on the Melbourne (Australia)
bank for. $4,000. When he took his
departure little more than thirty
seven years ago, he left behind him a
son and daughter, and his mission to
this country was to find them. They
had not heard from him for years. He
found both living in Reidville, and
they are to receive a goodly share of
his fortune. DIR" billiard says he
will not return to Australia, but will
dispose Of his holdings there, and
henceforth live in his native state

Causes Him Trouble Which Results In a
Having found purse on, the floor
OF a hotel near an armchair, where he
had seen pretty girl seated short
time before, Senator Depew deposited
the purse with the hotel clerk in a
leading hosiery in Paris. An hour
later, being on the street near the ho-
tel, the senator recognized by the
light of street lamp, the same girl
hurrying home from her call. DESTROYS
OF saving her anxiety when she discov-
cred her loss, the senator walked
briskly after her, and when he had
reached her side addressed her in his
politest French. The girl, thoroughly
frightened and not understanding him,
shrieked for help. The kindly senator
tried to pacify her, and as she. per-
sisted in her failure to comprehend,
and in crying out for assistance, grew
vehement and scared her all the more.
Finally the foolish maiden ran to a
policeman who had appeared on the
scene and appealed for protection. 1t
was only after a long wrangle that
the stupid officer of the law, Jealous

Of woman in distress, would admit
the possible truth Of Senator Depew's
laborious explanations. The hotel be-

sented to accompany Mr.. Depew and
the lady there, sticking close to the
lady all the way. The purse, which
contained a large sum of money, was
returned to the young woman by the
clerk, and she, understanding at last.
impulsively threw her arms around
the senator's neck, and kissed him on
the cheek.

SCENT OF ONION.

BY Any Other Name Than Sulphuret OF
Allyle It Would Be as Sweet.
1t is interesting to make inquiry
into the cause of this unfortunate
quality Of the onion. It is simply
due to the presence in some quantity
in the bulb of sulphur. It is this sui
phur that gives the onion it's germ
killing property and makes the bulb
so very useful medicinal agent at
all times, but especially in the spring,
which used to be-and still is in many
piaces-the season Tor taxing DrIm-
stone and treacle in old-fashioned
houses before sulphur tablets came
into vogue. Now, sulphur, when united
to hydrogen, forms sulphuretted by
drogen, and then becomes foul-smell-
ing compound. The onion, being so
juicy, has a very large percentage Of
water in it's tissues, and this, combin-
ing with the sulphur, forms the strong
~ scented and offensive substance
called sulphuret of allyle. This sulphur
ct OF allyle mingles more especially
with the volatile or aromatic oil of the
onion; it is identical with the malo-
dorant principle found in asafetida,
which is almost the symbol of all
smells that are nasty. The horse
radish and the ordinary mustard of
our tables both owe. their strongly
stimulative properties to this same
sulphuret of allyle, which gives them
heat and acridity, but not an offensive
smell, owing to the different arrange
men OF the atoms in their volatile
oils. This brings us to a most Curl
Gus fact in nature, that most strange
~, yet most certainly constructs all
vegetable volatile oils in exactly the
same way-composes them all, wheth-
er they are the aromatic essences of
cloves, oranges, lemons, cinnamon,
thyme, rose, verbena, turpentine or
onion, of exactly the same proportion,
which are 81A of carbon to liz of
hydrogen, and, obtains all the vast
seeming diversitles that our. nostrils
detect in their scent simply by diff
ferent. arrangement of the atoms in
each vegetable oil.-Chambers' Jour-
nal.

Invented by a Lunatic.

The resident physician of one of the
largest lunatic asylums in Great Brain
stated, as an instance of the cleverness
of lunatics, that very valuable i'm
provement connected with machinery,
and now in daily use everywhere, was
invented by the inmate of an asylum,
well known to everyone by name. AS
the inventor was afterwards quite
cured, and became prominent man,
the physician did not give any details,
but the invention, designed and model
led as diversion while absolutely in
sane, has brought him in thousands of
pounds. Another lunatic invented a
simple automatic contrivance for the
head of lawn-tennis racquet, to pick
up the balls and abolish STOPPING. 1t
acted perfectly, and the asylum doctor
advised his friends to secure patent
for him in case he should become cured.

They Are Rapidly Growing in Favor
in Western Countries.
Although it is several centuries since
Occidentals adopted Chinese tea as a
daily beverage it is only of late that
they have begun to use the Chinese tea
service. Like all Mongolian institu-
tions, it. is the opposite of our own. The
service consists of a metal stand in
which rests large cup. Over the cup
fits a saucer and alongside of it is sta
toned little cup scarcely larger than
an egg. The metal stand is of brass or
bronze, though wealthy mandarins use
silver and even gold. The large cup
should be Of the handsomest porcelain.
1t is very rarely plain. The commonest
variety have a MONOCHROME field on
which are enameled leaves and flowers
in color. Another beautiful variety is
made of crackle ware, on whose sur
face is wreathed a bronze dragon.
Swatow cups are generally decorated
with little crabs, fishes. beetles or To-
Gusts in natural color and high relief,
while Marking cups are tinged with
sang de boeuf, imperial blue, or impe-
rial yellow. The saucer should be of
the same material, according to the
tastes Of the owner
The service is placed before the
quests at the beginning of the meal. A
small quantity of tea leaves is thrown
into the large cup, covered with boil
Ing water. To keep the steam in the
saucer is inverted over the cup. 1t is
allowed to stand for two minutes and
then the guest holding the large cup
with the thumb and middle finger and
guiding the saucer with the forefnger,
strains and pours the fluid into the lit
tie cup. 1t seems simple, but until per-
son has practiced repeatedly it is very
difficult task. The average Occidental
scalds his fingers and drops the tea on

EAGLE FIGHTS A MAN.

Fierce Attack ON Maine Farmer by a
Big Feathered Robber.
One of the fercest battles between
man and bird of which there is any re-
cord in Maine took place the other day
in a Washington county barnyard.
Rufus Berry, of East Machias, and an
eagle Of great size were the combat
ants.
The eagle, whose wings measured
eight feet from tip to tip. had previously
visited the barnyard and carried off one
of the farmers sheep and had returned
for more mutton when Berry happened
to be around with gun handy.
Berry's first shot knocked the big
bird over and thinking the eagle was
dead he ran to secure his prize. That
was where Farmer Berry made a great
mistake. No sooner had he touched
the bird than 1t rose upon him. clawing
and pecking fiercely at his eyes and face
and finally sinking its talons deep into
the flesh of his arm, SO that. although
more than willing to call it draw. he
could not get out of the ring.
For half an hour Berry stood the
pecking and clawing and gouging and

and then backing up to fence he man.

he killed the bird.
The eagle was mounted by a Bangor

Eagles are common In the eastern and

tackled are very fierce.
