KISSING IN A IT IMMOCK,
Annie*** Mock Marriage— A Remarkable
Effort to Capture a Huaband.
A curious and interesting trial took
place in the Town Hall, New Utrecht, a
suburb of the city of Brooklyn, Tuesday
last. The case was thatof Annie E. Hig
bie against J. Walter Vaughn for aban
donment. Annie is a bright girl about 17
years of age, and Vaughn is a youth of
IK or Hi. Annie is the daughter of a car
penter and Vaughn the son of a rich iron
manufacturer. Ontbe2dof August there
was a sociable at the bouse ot Mr. Case,
at which there was a large number of
youths and maidens. Several mock mar
riages were performed. Among those
thus married were Annie Higbie and
Walter Vaughn. A short time after the
social Annie claimed Walter as her hus
band, and when he declined to assume in
earnest that delightful relation she
brought a suit for abandonment. On the
trial the first witness, was Annie Higbie.
the plaintiff, who told the manner in which
Waiter Vaughn had married her. The
next witness was Miss Elizabeth Munday,
a good looking young lady, neatly at
tired in plum colored velvet, with a white
lace collar, who testified that she knew
both parties to the suit, and that Vaughan
need to call at her sister’s house very
frequently.
“Who did he call to see?”
(With surprise) “Why, Annie; heoer
tainly did not call to see me. In speaking
to her he used to call her his wife, and at
other times, 'Annie,’ and at others 'Mrs.
Vaughan.’ He ceased visiting there after
bis return from the country, about the
middle of August. Wiieh he called he
used to be hugging and kissing Annie.
That’s all I know. They used to go and
sit in the hammock together. About two
weeks after they were married he came
there one evening alone and they stayed
outside and my sister and myself went
into the house.”
“Where were they?”
“They were in the hammock together
kissing one another. 1 was present on
one occasion when Mr. Vaughan intro
duced Annie as hie wife to Mr. Selover
and to Mr. Nefus. On one occasion Mr.
Berry said if he did not stop calling Annie
his wife Charles Munday would come and
ask about it, and he said that was just
what he wanted, that she was his wife,
and that he was not ashamed of it. 1 re
member once, when they were lying in
Mie hammock, Mr. Nefus came over there
and Walter said that he wished be would
move away. He did not want to be Inter
rupted. (Laughter.) Cross-examined,
she said that then l never was any time
that Walter called that there was not
hugging and kissing.
“Right in tho presence of all of you?”
“Yes.”
“And kissing?”
“Yes.”
“Now the time before that on Sunday
night, was there kissing and hugging that
night?”
“1 presume there was. Yes, there was.”
“What do mean by hugging?”
“Putting his arm about her; embracing
her.”
“Precisely what I understand it to be—
putting their arms around one another’s
necks?”
“Yes” ( with a smile).
“Is there more than one hammock al
your sister's?”
“Yes, there are two.”
“Well, when they were in onebammock
who was in the other?”
“We are not trying her case,” said Mr.
Leggatt.
Mr. Pouoher—Has she got one? [Laugh
ter.]
The question was admitted and the wit
ness replied:
“Mr. Nefus and I.”
“How did you know that AValter and
Annie were hugging and kissing?”
Annie told me so and I could see them.
It was light enough to see.”
‘■You have spoken ol the boys calling
her Mrs. Vaughan, did you understand
that as a joke at that time? ’
“It was merely a joke i’s I thought, but
1 was not the party concerned.”
Miss Fanny Higbie, the sister of the
plaintiff -a pretty little girl ot some 14
years, with an olive-green suit ornamented
with large metal buttons and a black hat
witii bird-of-paradise ornament, said that
she was at Mr. Case’s at the sociable and
•aw the ceremony performed between
Walter and her sister.
“What was said?”
“Weil, Mr. Areson said, ‘Will you take
this woman to be your wedded wife, to
live together according to the holy audi
ence (great laughter) of matrimony?’ I
was present that night when Walter hade
Annie good-night, he said, Surely, Annie,
you are not going to let your husband go
uff without a kiss?’ ”
“Well, did she kiss him?”
“Yes; several times.”
“And ne kissed hei ?”
“Yes; certainly.”
She then described tho introduction of
her sister to Berrv, Snider, Nefus and the
•tilers as the wife of Mr. Vaughan, and it
was notable that in all cases she used ex
actly the same language that the plaintiff
had in describing this.
“Have you ever heard him call your sis
ter his wife?”
“Yes; many times.”
“Have you seen them lying in the ham
mock together?”
“Yes; often.”
“What did he use to call you ?”
“He used to call me his sister-in-law.”
“Do you remember that Thursday even
ing when he came alone?”
(Laughing) “Yes, I remember that we
*ll went into the house and left them
alone together.”
To Mr. Pelton she said that Miss Mow
lem and Frank Hodgins were also married
•n (his evening at Mr. Case’s.
Alter leaving the stand little Miss Hig
gle had a real good cry.
Miss Belle Horstman, a verv handsome
girl, with light blue dress and lace collar
•nd apparently about'2oyears old, testified
teat she was present at the sociable and
»nat Miss Higbie said, “Let’s get married
“fun,” and she took hold of Walter’s
nrni, and said, “Charlie, come marry us,’
*nd he said something over,” said wit-
Bess. “I don’t know what he said. And
teen 1 said to Mr. Nefus, ‘Let us get mar

M the witness said, “he
eson, Nefus, Hodgson, Berry
and Snyder have their arms around An
nie’s waist, and had seen them kiss her»
She has,” said the witness, “been rather
promiscuous since then.”
Charles Areson, the next excessively
frank witness, is the 19-year-old mock
clergyman who wedded Miss Hisroie and
Walter Vaughan at Mr. Case’s sociable.
He used to be a boy in Pelton <t Poucher’s
law office, but is now a clerk in a Broad
street broker’s office. He lives at 324 Liv
ingston street. Brooklyn, but belongs to
the Flatbush kissing coterie. He first met
Annie at an oyster supper. He belonged
also to the elocution class which Annie
once attended. This is part of his testi
mony :
I was present at Mr. Case’s sociable.
There were some reciting and entertain
ment there. Afterward we went out and
had refreshments, and then we adjourned
to tbe lawn and began to knock the cro
quet bails around. [This was at 9:30
o’clock at night. I'he grounds were illu
minated by lanterns.] Then some one
proposed mock marriages. I didn’t hear
who proposed it. Then I performed the
ceremony for Miss Higbie and Walter
Vaughan. They asked me to, saving they
wanted to get married, and I said “cer
tainly.” I just turned around and s id,
“I pronounce you man and wife.” I may
have said something else foolish, but I
can’t remember the words. Then 1 turned
around and married Annie to Frank Hod
gins. I was married to Miss Mowlem.
Frank Nefus was married also.
Q. —Were you not married to more than
one? A.—No, sir; I was only married
once. Frank Hodgins was married to
Gertie Bennett and Walter was married
to Gertie Bennett. I hqlped to take the
brides on the wedding tour. I played
horne on that occasion.
Q. — When did you first hear the cere
mony performed, the words of which An
nie has stated were used by you? A.—l
never heard it at all.
Q. —After having heard me repeat iF
half a dozen times to-night, could you re
peat it now? A.—l can’t for my life, be
cause I don’t know it. Yes, sir, I have
called at Munday’s nouse.
Q.—There are hammocks there? A. —
Y't-s, sir.
Q.—Did you go and swing in them?
A.—Yes. sir. many times. Generally with
Neefus and Ed. Berry.
Q. —Who sat in the hammocks? A.—
Generally Miss Annie and Miss Munday.
Yes, sir; I have taken Miss Annie out
walking more than once.
Q.—Ever kiss her? A.—Yes, sir; I have.
Q.—After July 19? A.—Yes, sir, more
than once, and on more than one occasion.
Q. —Did she kiss you back? A.— Well,
when you kiss a girl it’s sort of simulta
neous, ain’t it?
Q. —This occurred every time you went
here? A. —Yes, sir.
<2- —You had your arms around her
waist? A.—Yes, sir. very often.
Q. —Did she < ver speak to you about
Walter being her husband? A.—No, sir;
she never mentioned it to me. 1 have
Heard her called Mrs. Snyder a number of
rimes. I have called her that myself, but
I don’t know that I over did to’her face.
Mr. Frank Hodgins was tbe next
•aresser sworn. He did not care to kiss
Annie the first time he met her, he said.
I’he next time he met her was at Berry’s.
He kissed her there. The next time was
at Mowlem’s. He took her home, and
kissed her on the way.
“I put my arms around her,” said he,
“because 1 thought I’d get a better im
pression on the kiss.”
There was more about kissing on the
cross-examination, and the rest was put
off until Saturday afternoon.
VKF.KLESS PATTI.
Her I.ove for Nicolinl—The Marquis <le
Caux—Her Wealth.
An Interview with a Manager.
“How much money does Patti receive
for a year’s work ?”
“I cannot tell you; but it must be very
large. If she only sang once a week half
the year she would get about $150,000. 1
suppose that she receives all of that per
annum. Still, she must be under con
siderable expense. She has a castle in
Wales, where she spends very much ol
her time. Even when she sings in Lon
don twice a week she will come down all
the way from Wales to do so. She can
run down in seven or eight hours, and go
back again.”
“Nicolini, I suppose, lives there?”
“He watches at her dressing room door
every night she sings, to be attentive to
all her wishes. You can see him there if
yon should be on the stage whenever she
is dressing. He takes her forward, and is
readv to receive her when she comes off.”
“What sort of man is he?”
“He has been very much misrepresen
ted. He is a gentleman, an artist, a man
of refined feelings and of thorough taste.
H's voice is probably not as good as it
was, and she is not as young as she was.
But she is happy with the man. Some
time ago she met Van Zandt, an American
singer whom she well knew in Europe,
and threw her arms around her and said:
'My dear, I have been trying all my lifeto
find happiness—tried everything Ise but
love. I have had a title, great society,
admission to great bouses and fami.ies,
but lam happy at last. They may close
their doors against me, but I am happy.’ ”
“Said I: “From what side do you sup
pose came the courtship in that case?”
“It must have been by a little error on
every side. In the first place, Patti’s hus
band, the Ma: quisdeCaux, was a jealous,
sordid, unsatisfying man. The silly Em
press of the French, to befriend hitn, set
up the scheme that Patti should get his
title and the Marquis get her inonev.
Each bought the other. Yet she desired
to live with him peaceablv; but he could
not make the allowance for her profession,
came to the rehearsals, and on one occa
sion, at least, compelled her to order him
out of the theatre, because in the balcony
scene in 'Romeo and Juliet’ he cried out
that she and Nicolini were entirely too
earnest in their love-making. Her natural
feelings, her false condition, her emotional
nature fastened to such a sneak
as de Caux, she probably found
nearer her original rank the atten
tion and sympathy she wanted. The
worst about it is that they say ‘Nicolini
has a wife and children. That may
trouble her mind sometimes with the
fear that he looks towards his earlier at
tachment, which is ever liable to break'
out in man. She gets from him, however,
the respect of one enamored of her and
her protector; He, of course, occupies
tbe more unfortunate position. People
can account for her revolting from a man
who bought her in order to enjoy the
profits of her labor; but they may look
upon Nicolini as not even legally enti
tled to do that, yet to some to extent
receiving them. However, he can earn
his own independence. He does earn it
by his voice. She owes to the public her
talents, not her happiness. Neverthe
less, there is a shadow arising from this
intimacy, but the law interposes and will
not allow it to be sanctified, since she is
not free from her husband nor he from his
wife.”
“Does she still have to pay money to
the Marquis de Caux?”
“No. The English courts made a de
cision. or a law, I forget which, that when
a woman was earning her living by her
own labor her husband could not take
from her the recompense. Patti can sing
in France, too, 1 understand, and get her
money now. De Caux endeavored to get
her jewelry at the time she was to leave
him. He probably saw that she meant to
go, as they had quarreled without tears.
But she sent word to her agent to have
her jewels locked up in the Bank of Eng
land, and he could not touch them.”
“Is she an infatuating woman? - ’
“Oh, yes; she is a remarkable woman.
She is one of the best linguists in the
world. Hardly a Prince in Europe, edu
cated as they are tor the languages, can
speak as many as Patti. She can address
vou in almost any language spoken in
Europe. She has a warm nature, is a
beautiful actress—indeed, is one of those
almost tropical products where genius is
inborn. Wealth, world-renowned, not yet
old, a woman looking for some relief in
domestic life from her excitements, she
could hardly make love to any great
singer but he would feel the invitation.
To this man Nicolini she has been per
fectly true, is deeply wrapped up in him,
and therefore is fulfilling her engagements
with the nations because she is happy.
In the wretched condition she once lived
in, or even in maidenhood, her voice might
have passed away.”

THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS: SAVANNAH, DECEMBER 16, 1883.
RICH MEN’S CLOTHES.
Vanderbilt, Gould, Field and Sage as
Mild Dudes.
JVew York Journal.
The other dav a Journal reporter in
vited a distinguished haberdasher to
give him some information on the dress
vagaries of his customers. He said:
“William H. Vanderbilt, like the ma
jority of men in civilized communities,
wears neckties, but he sticks to the same
scarf a long time. His collars, how
ever, are changed every day. He
pays from $5 to $lO each for his shirts,
except Wiose for ordinary wear, which,
it is said, he buys verv cheap, at prices
ranging from 55 cents to sl. While
deprecating the great railway king for
patronizing the cheap shirt trade, we
must admire his economy. He never
wears a dicky, and his underwear, in
cluding half hose, is silk, with an occa
sional change to balbriggan byway of
variety. In the matter of jewelry Wil
liam is exceedingly simple. He would
not be ashamed to fasten his cuffs with a
pair ot unbleached bone collar buttons.
“Very eccentric in his dress is Cyrus
W. Field. His outer garments, especial
ly in the winter time, are remarkable tor
their bad tit. Particularly true is this of
his overcoat. He has it finished off with
a fur collar. He revels in well-worn
gloves. Field’s linen is of the finest
quality, and he indulges in gold studs of
phenomenal proportions. His tavorite
collar is a stand up ail around, and his
tie a straight end, which he adjusts very
carelessly. Field, if he wished, would
make a first-class Tlude, but he lacks
style about the legs.
“Jay Gould dresses with taste and
without ostentation. His shirts are well
made and fit like a glove. He has a weak
ness for fancy underwear, but adheres to
the plainest kind of suspenders. Just at
present he affects a pair of white pique
braces, which are very becoming to his
style of beauty. Jay was the first man to
appear in tbe stre> t with tbe new style of
scarf called tbe 'Teek.’ He puts on a new
one, generally black, every day. He once
remarked that the separable style of cuff
button had saved ’wenty years of his life.
“Russel Sage is so erratic in his style of
dress that it is rather difficult to describe.
He dotes on tine goods, especially in fancy
handkerchiefs. The fancier thev are the
better be likes them. I had one woven
to bis order, bearing a picture represent
ing a bull chasing a bear dressed in a red
uniform. I have often bad occasion to
note the perfection with which Sage
fastens his long black tie.
“Sidney Dillon’s great weakness is
socks. He dotes on fancy half hose. I
always keep a good supply oi pink and
yellow effects for him.”
THE FENCE CUTTERS.
Their Reasons for Waging War Against
the Cattle Kings.
Galceeton Correspondence.
One of the principal members of the
“Javelins,” an organization that has re
cently made its appearance in Southwesi
Texas, has revealed some of the motives
actuating the fence cutting in a struggle
that is shaking Texas to the centre. Said
he: “We are like minnows in a pool ot
hungry trout. Some big stockman buvs
all the land around on all sides, his cattle
graze on our lands and ours on his. When
he makes his ‘rounding’ our cattle art
driven "ff to some distant point on his
large ranch with his. Our calves are sep
arated from their mothers, and in the con
tusion are branded with his brand ami
an driven off with his cattle.”
“But if the land was not incloset!
wouldn’t this same thing happen?”
“Nc, not to the same extent as it doe
now. When the range was free every
body’s cattle ran at large, no one thought
of ‘rounding up’ and driving off every co»
in sight.”
“Don’t you think if a man owns land he
has a right to fence it if he wants to?”
“No, sir, no man has a right to fenc<
you up or inclose the grass and water,
lie didn’t plant the grass or have any
thing to do with making it grow. NeithLi
did he create the springs and rivers. Goo
made them free, and before these land
sharks and cattle-kings put fences arounc
them, they were free. The grass is jus*
as good and will fatten his cattle just as
fast without a fence around it as within.’
“But what is the use of owning land it
you can’t do as you please with it?”
“You can do as you please with it. I
you want to cultivate it put up youi
fence, plow up your land and plant it.
We won’t bother you. What you work
for and plant is yours, but grass is free
and no man has a right to claim what
does not belong to him.”
“Haven’t the pasture men offered to do
almost anything you ask?”
“Yes, they offer us everything; but
what we want and are going to have is e
free range. We are determined to hav
our rights, and if it causes bloodshed we
can’t help it. We must and will have n
tree range. There are not enough men in
the regular army of the United States t<
guard the lines of wire pasture lences in
Texas.”
A KENTUCKY JEWEL.
Speaker Carlisle’s Dignified Rebuke to
Keifer and the Compliment it Called
from Erye.
Albany Journal (Rep.).
Mr. Carlisle is undoubtedly the best
equipped legislator in either house ol
Congress, and, combined with his excep
tional knowledge of affairs, he has re
markable skill and ability as a debater.
He always leads his side in every great
discussion, and he never fails to make his
best speech on the occasion. He is also
one of the very few men in public life who
are parliamentarians as well as states
men. Generally the little men look
after the rules of order; ami
that is because these rules
are mainly studied for the tricks
in them. Large men leave them alone.
Mr. Carlisle had long practice as presid
ing officer of the Kentucky Senate, and he
has studied parliamentary law itself
Perhaps as good an indication of Mr. Car
lisle as a public man as can be found any
where can be read in these lines of the
closing paragraph of a speech made by
him March 1, 1881, in reply to a charac
teristically brutal and baseless attack by
Mr. Keifer. Mr. Carlisle said:
“1 have not made a political speech,
or at least a partisan speech, on
the floor of this House during
all my service here. I have given
my earnest attention to what I
honestly believed to be really the higbes
interests of the general public; and it ill*
becomes the gentleman from Ohio, simplv
because I and my associates have differed
from gentlemen on that side upon a great
public measure liKe this, to say that our
motives are not as pure and patriotic as
theirs.”
The simple dignity of this rebuke and
its truthfulness moved Mr. Frye to rise
and say:
“The gentleman from Kentucky is re
cognized on this side as the jewel ot the
Democratic party in this House,” a de
claration that was received with applause
by both sides,
The Greatest Railroad Bridge in the
World.
Zondea Dally Telegraph.
Considerable progress is now being
made with the works of the great bridge
across the Firth ot Forth, which includes
two spans of the unprecedented width of
one-third of a mile each, or about four
times that of any existing railroad bridge.
Some £30,000 per month is the present ex-
Denditure in temporary and permanent
works. Some idea may be formed of the
magnitude of tbe undertaking from the
statement that the materials required for
the Forth bridge would fill 1,000 trains of
average length and capacity. This enor
mous weight will, of course, require to be
handled several times, the whinstone
alone being found on the spot, the
granite being shipped from Aberdeen,
the steel from Glasgow and South
Wales, and the Portland cement from
different places in England. Where the
bed of the river is of rock it will be lev
eled and otherwise prepared for the piers
by means of a large diving bell ot special
construction, wherein are a serie -of rock
drills driven by compressed air, the whole
being lighted by incandescent electric
lights. Where the foundation is on clay
considerable thickness of mud and silt
has to be cut through, and preparations
are now complete for putting in the first
of the piers by what Is known as the
pneumatic process. A caisson, or diving
bell. 70 feet in diameter and 65 feet in
height, will be sunk to the required depth
by a large number of men working in the
bell, which will, of course, be constantly
fed with compressed air, to prevent the
water from flowing into the chamber, and
to supply the men with the required
amount of oxygen.

LIFE IN THE MAINE WOODS.
A Picturesque Description of the Lum
berman's Winter Toil.
Correspondence .Boston Trareller.
Few persons, except those who have
shared the lumberman’s toil, know any
thing of that life in the woods. Sportsmen
coming upon abandoned camps in the
summer, as they penetrate the Maine
woods in pursuit of game or of fish,
fancy, no doubt, that they can see, as
they look about them, just how life went
on here in the winter while the camp was
tenanted. Tne chances are that the view
will reveal little of the reality of that life,
ii it does not prove utterly n isleading.
'The fact is, tbe transformations wrought
by summer at its coming in the
woods are so great that if the
chopper who spent last winter in that
camp were to come here now he
would scarcely recognize the spot. All
this open space, so rocky and so rough,
was trodden hard and smooth after the
snows had fallen deep. If you will look
at the large boulders you will see whero
the iron shoes of the sleds ground off
their highest points, or where the sharp
rocks gnawed at the runners shod with
maple. That crooked, twisted hornbeam
down there by the road shows scars and
marks of wear higher up than one could
reach now. It is where the chain was
put around to tie up a pair of oxen while
they munched their noontide foddering of
hay that was served them in tbe yoke.
Little is left about here that was aban
doned when the crew went out of the
woods upon the breaking up of the roads
in March. The runner of a sled lying by
tbe hovel is one that had to be replaced
with a new one in tbe winter. The broken
yoke at the foot of the hemlock shows by
the gripes about it and by the rivets with
which it was bolted, the pains taken to
make it last through the winter. Had the
old yoke been taken out of the woods in
the spring it would not have been worn
on the necks of the oxen, tor, in moving,
one yoke ot cattle hauled out the sleds
and chains, and whatever bad been car
ried into the woods in the fall, while the
others were driven out unyoked, so that
they might walk in single tile where the
roads were narrow and the snow was
deep. But though Buck and Golding were
at liberty to walk apart, yet, where the
road was broad enough, they fell in
abreast and walked side by side, just as
they had all winter long made their turns
to the landing.
EDWARD STOKES’ ART ROOM.
A Critic with a Cane Meets the Fighting
Man of the Place.
Kew York Letter.
I was in the Hoffman House barroom
night before last, when a row occurred
which has not yet found its way into the
city papers. The room is crowded with
artistic treasures of various sorts, in
cluding many valuable paintings. Visitors
and sight-seers are, as is well known, the
victims of a powerful desire to point um
brellas and canes at pictures, and from
pointing to poking is but a step. The
rules against this sort of playfulness are
very strict at the Hoffman. On the night
n question the place was crowded with
out-of-town “Evacuation day - ’ visitors.
\tnong them was an immense man from
Boston. He was six feet four, and
veighed 250 pounds. He went up with a
friend to the SIO,OOO Bouguereau, and be
ran to point out its points with a cane.
He struck the glass case which covers the
painting twice with his stick, and then
Billy Edwards spoke to him quite respect
fully about it. Edwards, who is tne ex
hampion light-weiirht pugilist of the
world, is retained by the house to look
iftcr the bar-room. He is the most
scientific man in the country and a deadly
hitter. He is compact, quiet and not at
ill dangerous looking. When he spoke to
the Boston man Wednesday night he re
eeivrd a slai> in the face before he could
ret his hands up. If ever a man was sur
prised that man was Billy Edwards. He
flew at t ia big opponent like a bantam.
>ut before he could do anything the
-tranger had him by both hands around
'he throat. Billy turned white and
’•sped for breath. The strength
•f the stranger was prodigious.
Billy struggled with him for a
moment and then suddenly exerted all
lis force and rushed the stranger over
backward against the bar. Giant though
he was, Billy pressed him over backward
until he broke the grip on his throat, then
he danced back with his jaw set, threw
ip his hands and bounded forward. His
ight fist landed squarely on the stran
ger’s face with an awful crack. The
nan shot to earth as though thrown from
the sky, and lay there motionless. He
was taken away later. Iledid not recover
•onsciousness for several hours and he is
still in bed. but he will have the satisfac
tion of knowing that Edwards is more se
riously injured than he. The bouncer of
the Hoffman carries his arm in a sling
mil bemoans the fact that three bones in
bis hand are broken by his crushing
blow.
IS IT A SPONGE?
A Bran-New Gness About the Nature of
the Keely Motor.
Detroit Free Press.
Some person living in the vicinity of
Cincinnati is actually interested enough
n the Keely motor to speculate as to its
character and operations. He thinks it
is caused by the expansive power of wa
ter. He reasons thus from the fact that
tie has seen wooden plugs driven into
stones and wetted until they swelled and
burst the stones; and he remembers that
when the ropes which once raised a huge
statue were found too long to lift it to Its
place, the ropes were soaked until the
shrinkage drew the statue into po
s'tion. He therefore argues that
Keely-s motor “is nothing but an enor
mously strong cylinder of iron packed full
of (say) compressed sponge or some soft
woods. The piston being forced down
upon it by powerful screws, then the
piston rod, being connected with a train
of geared wheels and water being poured
into the cylinder, the thing will go—
probably burst his cylinder. But at tbe
most the piston will only travel a few
inches, although the power is so tremen
dous, and, as Mr. Keely states, almost un
controllable after being started.”
Under these circumstances, Mr. Keely
is quite right in not starting hie motor,
ind we don’t believe he ever will. Tbe
idea that the motor is nothing but a big
“sponge” is probably the most plausible
story now current among its stockholders.
A Confederate Hall in Richmond.
Richmond ( Va.l Dispatch.
If next year we should succeed in con
solidating the three funds (about $35,000)
now m hand for tbe building of a Lee
monument in Richmond, and should se
cure apian which would justify the laying
of the corner stone in October, the surviv
ing members of the Army ot Northern Vir
ginia would reassemble in Richmond in
such numbers as to make a gathering for
ever memorable. There would be present
real Generals, Colonels, Majors, Captains
and Lieutenants, and privates by thou
sands. It would be the time for a Con
federate ball, somewhat of the character
of tbe colonial ball had here a few years
ago—only the gentlemen would not wear
cues and ruffled shirts of a hundred years
ago, but the well worn gray and army
shirts ot the war of 1861-5.
Plenty of the uniforms of the officers
and privates are yet kept, and long will
be preserved as heirlooms, and could be
produced for the occasion. The ladies
would appear in such dresses as suited
the time represented. They may be relied
upon to make them up in good style and
adapted to their varying types of beauty.
We could invite ex-President Davis
to come that week, and no
doubt he would accept. So would
Beauregard, Johnston, Early, the Ran
soms. Hampton, Maury, the Lees, Col
quitt, Gordon, Kershaw, McGowan, Kem
per, Vance, and hundreds of other nota
bles. Tbe ball might be arranged to take
place in the Jeff Davis house (now Cen
tral School), and a sum could be realized
from it that would start into vigorous life
tbe dead current ot contributions to the
monument fund.
Opaque Glass for Coffins.
Dr. A. Mayer proposes a new mode of
burial. For wooden coffins he would sub
stitute glass ones; the glass thick and
opaque, and hermetically closed with a
silicated mastic as inalterable as the glass.
So enclosed, bodies would give out
neither gases nor liquids, and would have
no injurious effect on the public health.
The body, moreover, might be preserved
indefinitely from decomposition, by sub
stitution of an antiputrid gaseous at
mosphere, under suitable pressure, for
the air contained in the coffin. For this
purpose, two tubulers would be added—
one for entrance of the gas, the other for
exit of tbe air. If carbonic acid were
used, the difference of density of that gas
and air would render the operation very
easy. This mode of preservation, it
is claimed, would present all the ad
vantages of embalming, without mutila
tion or great expense. Glass coffins
would allow of deferring burial, as is
sometimes desirable In tbe case of
death daring voyage, the body need not
be consigned to th 3 sea, but could be kept
till arrival.
HIGHLY ROMANTIC STORY.
The Strange Career of a Baron in the
New World.
Indutnapolis Xews
A singularly romantic story has reached
the ears of a 'Veics reporter. Many years
ago Barou Carl von Hake was an'officer
in the Prussian army. His father poe
sesst-d the estate of a knight, and was a
prominent gentleman living in Paptiz,
near Cottsbus. During the troubles ot
1849, Carl became involved politically,
and. after throwing up his commission,
emigrated to Canada. This move upon
his part led to an estrangement between
himself and lather. While at home,
Carl had been specially instructed with a
view of succeeding to bis father’s estate
and the management of his landed inter
ests, and bis requirements included that
of a veterinary surgeon. After settling
in Canada he took up the profession, and
on the income derived therefrom, coupled
with an annuity which his father for
warded, despite the estrangement,
he lived in good style, married, and in
time two children formed part of his
household. At one time he was a resident
of Kalamazoo, Mich. His death occurred
in 1868 or 1869, and the demise of his wife
fol lowed a few years later,and tbe children,
still quite young, were consigned to the
care of friends in Massachusetts. The
children were named respectively Carl
and Pauline. The annuity which their
father enjoyed was continued by their
grandfather, and when Carl reached man’s
estate his grandfather provided the means
for the purchase of a farm in Wayne
township, this county, upon which he
settled, and in time established the repu
tation of a model farmer. His sister
Pauline finished her education in
this city, and in time was connected
by marriage with a member of
one of tbe leading German fami
lies, her husband a promising young
business man and in every way worthy
of her choice. Throughout all these year's
the annuity, in excess of SBOO. was con
tinued, and upon the death of their grand
mother, which occurred some time ago, a
copy of tbe joint will was forwarded to
them, in which they found themselves
sole heirs to their grandfather’s estaie.
Neith r one. however, attempted any in
quiries relative to its probable value and
throughout they appear to have borne
themselves with commendable judgment
in every respect, and tbe family with
which the lady intermarried has been
equally inconsiderate. Last week a ca
blegram was received announcing the
death of the grandfather and calling them
to Prussia, and they are now preparing
for their ocean voyage, and expect to sail
early next month. Neither one knows
what is in store lor them, be ond that
they are the sole heirs, but Germans who
have emigrated from that section say that
the estate is exceedingly valuable.
A HEMLOCK DRINK.
Hemlock Bark Used in the Adultera
tion of Beer.
Hemlock killed Socrates, but it proves
to kill Michigan men as well. The
Northwestern Lumberman says that until
lately beer has never been supposed to
have any intimate connection with the
lumber business, except it aids as an in
ternal fuel to fire the ardor of a lot ot
dock-wallopers or to induce a lot of men
to hustle up a drive. Now it is asserted
that beer is made of which hemlock bark
is a principal ingredient, though it never
has had much of a reputation beyond the
modesty ot a plain tea. The cargo arri
vals ot hemlock bark are numerous, and
it is stated by persons who claim to un
derstand the ropes that the tanneries are
not the only important consumers, but
that the bark is extensively ground am!
sold to makers of beer at outside points.
How much or how little is consumed in
Chicago in that way seems to be a vague
proposition. The following elucidation ot
the subject has been furnished by a man
who investigated it:
It is used as an adulteration for beer.
Large quantities of it are ground up and
shipped to other points. Ghicago brewers
can afford to make pure beer, but this
bark is fixed up here and sent to other
places. I suppose you know, adds the
writer, that brewers do not report the in
gredients of which their beer is made, as
they once did. The courts have decided
that they are not compelled to do so. 1
have made some casual inquiries, and 1
learn that tanbark and soda are the prin
cipal substances used. A little rice malt
gives it body and makes it hold the foam.
Hemlock bark is a new discovery in this
respect, and is useful because it takes the
place, to a certain extent, of both malt
and hops. It Is not poisonous, but it
certainly cannot be said to contain any
nourishment. It adds the pungent, bitter
taste and gives the dark reddish color to
the liquid. It is very cheap, and the
brewers who use it must grow rich very
fast.
The Dude and the President.
Washington Capital.
In one of the Western Territories the
people have a Governor whom they call a
dude. Being Governor of the Territory,
of course he never saw his principality
until he went out to assume the reins of
power. It is one of the attractive features
of our system of governing the Territories
that no one shall be appointed Chief Ex
ecutive who has grown up with the place.
Th- consequence is that generally the
Governors are unpopular. But this one
is particularly out of keeping with his
surroundings. It oflends the honest
miner to see his fellow man wearing a
short top coat, an English hat and a
small—very small—silk umbrella. It
hurts him to see him surround himself
with pictures and other objects of art.
And yet this Governor of whom 1
speak, and whom some of my readers
know very well, dresses and lives in this
highly offensive manner. Last summer,
when the President was in the West, he
stopped to see the Governor, and Mr. Ar
thur, at that time, looked a good deal
more like a resident of the frontier town
than the Governor did. When the Presi
dent was leaving, and just as he was get
ting on his train, a liberal-minded miner
approached him and said: “Look here,
General,” and then he pointed at the Gov
ernor over his shoulder with his thumb
and winked, “why don’t yer send us a
cologne bottle?” At first the President
looked at the man very sternly, but after
he got into the car he looked out of the
window for some time, and after study
ing tbe Governor closely, glanced at the
miner and smiled.
Prehistoric Pits in Oregon.
Portland Oregonian.
A. F. Johnson writes to the Oregonian
that eight miles above the mouth of the
Sandy river, and about twenty-five from
Portland, may be found what are clearly
the works of a race of men other, it not
more ancient, than our present Indians.
At the point named the Sandy sweeps
around a ridge, and traversing a distance
of probably a mile and a half, describes a
figure not unlike an ox-bow. At the nar
rowest point this peninsula is about 40
rods across, and at the highest point is
probably 200 feet above the level of the
river. Here, at intervals of 50 feet, are a
series of shafts or holes, each of
which covers an area of, say, 6
by 20 feet, and judging from the
embankments formed on the sides
(the dirt is deposited on the sides) must
have been a dozen feet in depth. These
excavations are ranged in a straight line
entirely across the peninsula, and, what
seems remarkable, in every case the long
er axes point at right angles to the line
of excavations. Just h>w ancient these
works are it is, of course, impossible to
determine, but that they existed prior to
the great tornado that swept over this
valley about 3)0 years ago, and has left
its footprints everywhere, is evident. Nor
can it be that the labor necessary to the
accomplishment of these works was ex
pended by our present labor-despising
Indians. But for what purpose this for
gotten race toiled for so many weary days,
who these ancient workers were, whence
they came, when they disappeared and
why—these are problems for the antiqua
rian which time may never solve.
A Cue for Pease.
Chicago Special.
As Mr. Dewitt C. Pease, of New York,
stepped from a Michigan Central train in
this city Sunday, a handsome young lady
skipped up to him, threw her arms rap
turously aboubhis neck and kissed him
many times, saying:
“Ob, papa, I’m so glad you have come.”
Mr. Pease threw both arms around her
and held her firmly to his breast. Soon
she looked up into his face and horror
stood in her eyes.
“Oh, my! you’re not my papa!” she
said, trying to free herself from his em
brace.
“Yes I am,” insisted Mr. Pease, holding
her tightly. “Y’ou are my long lost
daughter, and I am going to keep you
right in my arms till I get a policeman.”
When the officer came and found Mr.
Pease’s diamond pin in the girl’s hand he
said: “That’s a new trick here.”
“Is it? - ’ said Pease. “Well, it's old in
New York.”
