ORTUNE FOUND IN A.JAM POT.
ow a Law Clerk Gained a Reward and
a Wife at the Same Time.
Ho tint if Storing of the Legal Profession .
it often happens that the issue of great
uits at law, particularly in England, de
>ends upon a single document which it is
• ery difficult to produce. That was the
.veak point in the ease which Messrs.
Sharpe & Floyd were managing for Mr.
Morpeth. A certain deed was almost al>-
solutelv essential to success, and it was
not to be found for love or money. An
advertisement had been inserted in all
the leading papers for months, offering a ;
reward of £3OO for the valuable parch
ment, but not a word had come in re- :
sponse. The lawyers felt confident that :
it could not be in existence; an offer of ,
£3OO must have brought it to light, they j
argued, if anybody had it in possession. \
But Morpeth insisted upon believing that j
it could be found. So he instructed j
Messrs. Sharpe & Floyd to increase the ,
sum to £SOO and go on advertising; and j
accordingly Tom Halliday, a clerk in the
office, was dispatched to the advertising ,
agency with orders to contract for the
necessary space in all the dailies for a
fortnight.
Tom had a sweetheart, naturally '
enough, and they were going to be mar
ried as soon as they could contrive to buy j
furniture for a couple of rooms. It was
his habit of a Saturday to take a stroll
with her, and accompany her home to tea;
and as it was on a Saturday that he made
his trip to the advertising agency, of
course he told her all about it, and they
amused themselves by discussing what
they would do w ith the reward, supposing
they should chance to find the missing
deed. They were talking in this ridiculous
strain when they reached the girl's home.
The table was spread, and among the
dainties of the occasion was a pot of
home-made raspberry jam, brought out
especially in honor of his visit, Tom was
informed.
He had hardly taken the first mouthful,
however, when be turned suddenly pale,
his lower jaw' dropped, and he sat gazing
fixedly at the jam-pot like one spell
bound". The girl taneied he must be ill;
the mother wondered if he had come upon
a black beetle. “It’s nothing,” Tom man
aged to gasp after a time; “I shall be all
right directly. It's—it’s—the £500.”
When he had recovered from his bewil
derment, he began to compare the names
of the parties to the missing deed, as men
tioned in the advertisement, with the
piece of parchment which had covered
that jam-pot, and that lay upside down
upon the table before him. There they
were, the very same. He had certainly
found the missing deed, or at least a frag
ment of it. “And now, if we can trace
the rest,” he exclaimed, “our lortune's
made.” The mother threw open her cup
board, and there were two dozen jam-pots,
lacking one, each with a piece of the
parchment tied over it for a cover. It was
an anxious moment. The pots were quick
ly uncovered, the circular bits fitted to
gether, and at last the thing took definite
and symmetrical shape, and not a line was
wanting. A few of the “and whereases”
and “provided alsos” were a trifle sticky,
but not the smallest part had been de
stroyed.
Tom did not stop to finish his dinner.
He put the precious jam-pot covers into
his pocket and ran at the top of his speed
to Messrs. Sharpe & Floyd. They agreed
with him at once that he had secured the
long-lost deed; and then they recalled the
fact that they had once had offices in the
quarter where the mother of Tom’s sweet
heart lived, and that on coming away
they had swept a good many useless pa
pers into a corner and left them there,
and this deed must somehow have been
among them, though they had never been
able before to surmise how it could have
slipped from their custody. They has
tened to Mr. Morpeth with the good news,
and he drew a ebeek on the spot for £SOO,
payable to Tom's order, and Mr. Morpeth
won his suit, and Tom married the girl of
his heart as soon as the wedding gown
could be made—all because a nice-fin
gered old lady had cut covers out of parch
ment for her jam-pots in such a happv
way.

I am sorry you didn't say what wine you

sherry, which they liked very much, except
one boy, who was a little sick, and choked a
good deal. He was rather greedy, and that's
the truth, and I believe it went the wrong

TRICKS IN WINE-MAKING.
How Champagne and the Other French
Vinous Products are Produced—“ Old
Kye” Transformed Into the Best
Cognac.
Hartford Times.
Of all countries which go largely into
wine-making France is foremost, and
owing to the abundance and variety pro
duced, through the variety of soil and cli
mate, it has been called the vinevard of
the earth. About seven-eighths" of the
territory is wine-bearing, and, next to the
ordinary business of agriculture, it is the
most valuable branch of industry. It gives
employment to 3,000,000 persons. The
quantity of wine annually produced is
3,000,000,000 gallons, and this is worth
$350,000,000. These wines differ widely j
one from another, and each has a fame of
its own. Ot them all the products of the j
champagne country are the best known ;
and most w idely distributed. This has \
alwavs been considered as bearing off the i
palm: it has always been the favorite
wine of the crowned heads, as well as of
other historical personages.
The province of Champagne is divided
into five departments, but it is only in the ;
Department of Marne that the champagne
of commerce is made. And Marne is sub- j
divided into five departments, of which j
Kheims and Epernay are the true centre j
of the manufacture. So when we see j
“Kheims’’ and “Epernay” on the bottles
we know'just where they come from; and,
for a still clearer picture, it may be stated j
that the vineyards of Kheims are situated ;
around the slopes of a wooded mountain, i
while those of Epernay occupy an un
dulating plain. The vintage be
gins in September. The grapes are
subjected to three pressures, and the
juice being collected into large vats,
it is allowed to stand twelve or eighteen
hours, till the sediment is deposited. It
is then drawn off into barrels and left
to ferment. By December, the wine being
clear, it is again draw n into vats, and
as the perfect article is made from the
products of several different vineyards, |
the operation ol mixing begins. "After
this is accomplished it is again drawn in- |
to the barrels and allowed to stand till
spring. It is then bottled and carried
into the cellars and laid on its side, and
the secondary fermentation begins. It
lasts through the summer, and during this
time there is often so much bursting
among the bottles that the loss
sometimes amounts io twenty-five per
cent. After the fermentation and break
age cease, the bottles are overhauled, and
those that are whole restacked. After
resting eighteen months they are taken
out and shaken, w hereupon any little seek
iment there may be comes to the top, and
the cork being taken out, the froth that
pushes up brings the sediment with it, so
that it can be removed.
One thing more, and the wine is ready
for market. Into each bottle is introduced
a little melted lock candy, mixed with a
trifling quantity of brandy. The quantity
of sweetness introduced depends on the
country to w hich the wine is to be sent.
Russia requires least, and England and
the United States most. The bottles are
now recorked, the air excluded by means
of tinfoil, or wax, and the champagne,
now three or four years old, is ready for
use. Twenty-five millions of bottles are
annually put up, one-sixth of which comes
to the United States.
Next in importance comes the wines of
the Gironde. The capital of this depart
ment is Bordeaux; hence the wines are
often called by that name. The Gironde
is divided into five wine-producing dis
tricts, of which Medoc is the most cele
brated. It is a long, narrow plain,contain
ing 45,000,000 acres of vineyards. Eight
million gallons of wine are annually pro
duced. These wines are all red, and are
what are called clarets. One-fourth of
them are the exquisite high class wines,
such as Chateau Margaux, Chateau La
titte, and Chateau Latour. These com
mand an enormous price, even in France.
Comparatively little pure Medoc reaches
this country, as the popular taste in
America likts it reintorced with spiritu
ous strength. The amount of mixing that
goes on at Bordeaux is prodigious. Her
export is twelve times as much as the en
tire growth of Medoc, and one-halt of these
are bought as genuine, without a mis
giving.
Another of the famous wines exhibited
here is the Hermitage. The vineyards
which produce this wine lie on the south
! slope of a hill near the town of Tain, on
j the Rhone, in the old province of Dauph
-1 iny. It is called Hermitage because of a
hermit who took up his abode there in the
thirteenth century and planted the vines
for au interesting occupation. The slope
! being southerly, the sun shiues on the
vines all day long, and brings the fruit to
! marvelous perfection. The vines are in
three vineyards, and as the perlect wine
, results only from a mixture of the product
• of the three, the proprietors must hold
i property in each.
The Burgundy wines are grown on a
series of low hills about 36 miles in length.
Along their slopes, and extending a mile
or so out on the plains at their feet, lie
the vineyards w T hich produce the “yellow
Burgundy.” The District of the Sau’ternes
produces the celebrated Chateau Yquem,
which is esteemed almost too precious to
use. It looks like bottled sunshine.
The department ot Charente is rich in
vineyards. All of the wine is used for
distillation, immediately after fermenta
tion. The town of Cognac is the centre of
the manufacture, hence the name is
usually applied to these brandies, which
are the best in the world.
It is of some little interest to know' the
genera! average of alcohol in wine. From
1,000 gallons of w r ine they get, on distilla
| tion, from 100 to 150 gallons of brandy.
President Jefferson said intoxication
would never prevail where wine was
cheap; that it was only the dearness of
that that set men to "work evoking the
“fiery demons” out of sugar cane, rye,
corn, other grains, etc. But, having once
evoked the demon, he masters them and
they can’t shake him off. It is like Sin
bad and the Old Man of the Sea. So, it
the world demands brandy, ot course the
vineyards will be turned into it.
It is said that immense quantities of
“Old Kye” travel over to Cognac, and
come back transformed into the best
French brandy.

The question of finger-nails has always
been a study with the upper classes.
Manicures have polished and rounded
them, made them shine and dulled their
lustre —in fact, they have done every
thing to make up the defects of nature,
but all to uo purpose. They have been
rendered less animal, but still they have
been finger-nails and, great minds have
studied up the matter and gone to their
graves unsatisfying and unsatisfied.
It was reserved for a cameo cutter em

nail into a thing of beaut)’ —consequently
a joy forever. He has been so over-run

HOW MOSES STRUCK OIL.
A Pennsylvania City Founded on Pe
trolenm—lncidents of the “Harmless
Lunatic’s” Persistent Search for the
Hidden Stream.
Otian (.V. } r .) Correspondence Koto York World.
Tw’entv years ago a citizen of Roches
ter, who’has made a large fortune in the
sale of a patent pill, was violently seized
with the oil-fever. The petroleum excite
ment was then intense on Oil creek, and
to that promised land jieople were flocking
from all parts of the compass. The pre
vailing ambition of all was to secure a
“piece” of Oil creek territory, uo matter
at what cost. That in hand, it was not
thought possible that fortune could longer
baffle pursuit. But oui Rochester victim
of the epidemic—Job Moses by name—
was not affected in that way by
the disease. It attacked him in the form
of a mania for searching for anew petro
leum field, which he might have and
hold all to himself, and he forthwitli pro
ceeded to fiud one. lie inspected various
portions oi Pennsylvania and New York
State, and finally selected the region in
the valley of the Tunumgawant creek, a
branch of the Alleghenv river, lying par
tially in Cattaraugus county, New York,
anu partially in McKean county, Penn
sylvania, as the scene of his investiga
tions. lie advanced the theory that there
was a vast lake of petroleum underlying
that whole region, and he set about securi
ing territory upon which to test his theory
and to hold in ease it proved to be correct.
The region was a wild one and entirely
given up to lumbering. A branch of the
Erie Railway extended from Carrolton, on
the Western Division, 28 miles down the
creek, to the small lumbering hamlet of
Gilesville. This branch road had been
built In the days when Charles Minot w'as
supreme in the management of the Erie —
a management now entirely forgotten.
It w r as built for the purpose of connect
ing with an iron mine that was alleged
to exist somewhere down the valley.
The mine has not been discovered
yet, to be sure; but then it was impor
tant to have the railroad ready for use
when the ore should be uncovered; and so
Mr. Minot built it. The iron mine was
never found, but unexpectedly they dis
covered a valuable deposit of coal, and
although it was diverting the road to a
use never intended it w as resolved to con
nect it with the coal mines, and it turned
out to be a very good investment, the
business from coal and lumber returning
this road an income of nearly $2,000 a
month. It was from an expression made
in regard to this road, when Job Moses
first commenced bis investigations m the
valley, that the natives came to look upon
him as a harmless lunatic, an opinion
they persistently held to for over thirteen
years. There was a small and unheard-of
group of four houses and a tavern in the
valley then, known on the creek as Brad
ford. Job Moses went to Bradford one
day and told the people that they woulcf
see the day, and soon, too, when the busi
ness of the Bradford branch of the Erie
w ould be increased tenfold by the traffic
it would receive from the petroleum that
was in existence all through the valley.
So they called him crazy.
Job Moses prospected for thirteen years
among the mountains and through the
valley, his faith in his ultimate success
never w avering. Then his money was all
gone. He hau thousands of acres cf un
productive rocks and forest on his hands.
At th&t'time oil wells were drilled to an
average depth of 900 feet, at which depth
the oil was found along Oil creek. When
Moses found his fortune was all sunk in
dry w T ells and worthless square miles of
hills and gorges he went to men of means
outside of the oil country and succeeded
by his earnestness and unbounded faith
in obtaining another supply of wealth to
pursue his explorations further. In 1875
he had not yet found oil ? but in that year
it occurred to him that it did not neces
sarily follow that the oil sand in that lo
cality should be at the same depth as it
was in Venango county, and the drill was
sunk deeper. At the "depth of 1,100 feet
the rock that Moses had spent a fortune
and thirteen years ol time in finding was
punctured, and petroleum of a fine grade
responded to the drill at the rate of filty
barrels a day. The sand in the McKean
district was a third sand, the Oil creek
sand a second one below the surface.
While this strike created considerable
stir, no particular importance was at
tached to it by the lower country opera
tors, or by the people even who lived in
the valley. Oil creek was then supply
ing all the oil that w r as required, although
her glory as a field of spouters, or even
flowing wells of any description, was
gone. The lower country had no faith in
the Bradford field. Moses had, however,
and he held on to his hand. He had
demonstrated the correctness of his the
ory, and was content to leave the rest
with the future. Well after well was put
down in Bradford by him and others w r ho
had gradually come in, and every one
proved to be not only a good producer but
a flowing well. The persistence with which
these wells kept up their supply brought
other operators to tbinkiug that there
might be something in Moses’ idea after
all, and they began to flock to Bradford.
In 187G-’77 the fact had to be recognized
that the new r field was to be the petroleum
centre of the world, and all other districts
were abandoned, and the clamor for land
in Bradford alone was heard. Then Job
Moses lay back and received bis reward.
He held thousands of acres of the very
best territory, and he received his own
price for it.
In the first three months oi 1877 the
population of Bradford increased from 300
to 3,500 actual inhabitants, while the float
ing population was at least 10,000. In
31 arch, 1877, the monthly receipts of the
Bradford branch of the Erie Railway
were nearly $40,000, then more than ful
filling the prophecy Moses had made
fourteen years before. The storv of the
growth and development of the Bradford
field is well known—how it spread out
into an area so vast that even Moses was
astounded; an area that comprised 60,000
i acres of producing territory, upon which
! 12,000 w'ells were drilled in four years,and
from which for a long time over 80,000
barrels of oil w r ere flowing every day; how
Bradford grew' into a city of 15,000 inhabi
tants and became the centre of the great
est oil field the w r orld had ever known,
while hundreds of other thriving
tow'ns grew up like magic and
thousands of miles of pipe-line and
hundreds of huge iron tanks became
necessary to store and handle the wealth
that came from the earth, and scores ol
railroads w’ere built in all directions to
accommodate the almost fabulous traffic
in passengers and freight that the busi
ness of the region had called into exist
ence. Over $106,000,000 came into the
Bradford field in four years. The fortune
Job Moses had spent in demonstrating to
the incredulous aud scoffing community
that there was oil in the Tunungawant
Valley and all the hills around and about
it was returned to him a hundred-fold.
He has now expressed himself as satisfied
with the results of his twenty vears’
work, and has sold all his remaining
property in the region, some 7,000 acres of
oil land, his splendid residence and
grounds at Lewistone, which place he
selected as his headquarters when he
first entered the valley, and will make his
iuture residence in New York city.
The great oil field, to the development
of which the persistent efforts of Job
Moses directly led, has been steadily de
clining in production lor two years." The
territory has all been drilled over, aud
the old wells are averaging very low,
most of them requiring the pump. 3lany
have entirely failed, and it is doubtful if
the field is yielding more than 35,000 bar
rels a day. About 35,000 barrels of oil,
however, are stored in the tanks of the
United Pipe-Line throughout the legion,
all surplus production, nearly all of
which was greedily drawn from "the Brad
ford wells by imprudent producers during
the last five years, thus not only antici
pating the decline of the field by at least
two years, but keeping the price of their
production far below the figure which
they might otherwise have received for it.
The city of Bradford is founded on a sub
stantial basis, however, independent of
the oil industry, and in the event of that
failing her she will remain one of the
most important trade centres in the State.
It has been well said that “Job 31oses,
with his great faith and indomitable will
and perseverance, anticipated the growth
and prosperity of Northwestern Pennsyl
vania at least tw'enty years.”
Mrs. Gen. Grant’s Cousin Murdered.
31r. J. Harvey Dent, a brother of J. W.
Dent, who was found dead in his tent near
the mines at Daggett, Cal., said to a cor
respondent at Parkersburg, W. Va., that
he was satisfied that his brother had not
committed suicide, as was supposed. A
bullet had penetrated his head from be
hind, and there were other evidences to
sho\v that he had been murdered. A thor
ough investigation will be made.
As to his kinship to Mrs. Gen. Grant,
Mr. Dent says: “I suppose Col. Fred
Grant does not keep much of a record of
his mother’s family, as he has denied the
relationship. My father was a son of
Capt. Johu Dent, ot 3lonongalia county,
this State, who was an old Revolutionary
soldier and was M is. Gen. Grant’s father’s
cousin. So you see there is no mistake
I about the relationship.”

trial that he can easily be convicted of
heresy and driven out of the Episcopal
Church. It does not seem to have occur
red to them that Mr. Newton might be ac
quitted, in w hich case it w'ould be judici
ally decided that his views are not hereti
cal. If those who are so eager to get rid
of 3lr. Newton really believe that the
church is scandalized by his presence at
the what will be their state of mind
if, by his acquittal, the church should de
clare that any clergyman may lawfully
hold Mr. Newton’s views?
The position taken by 3lr. Newton is
that the Scriptures contain the word of
God, but are not the word of God in the
sense that every sentence Irom Genesis to
the Apocalypse is dictated by the Holy
Spirit, and is hence infallible. No doubt
this view is not that of a majority of the
members ol the Episcopal Church. 3lany
of them believe, with certain Protestant
sects, that the Bible is “the thought of
God ia the language of God.” To such
31 r. Newton’s view is shocking, and they
have no doubt that it is heretical. To be
found guilty of heresy, however, 3ir. New
tou must be proved to have taught doc
triues which the church has declared to
be heretical. He cannot be found guilty
if it is shown that his teachings are not
contrary to those of the church, however
shocking they may be to individual mem
bers of the church.
It is certainly very doubtful if 3lr. New
ton’s views of the Bible are contrary to
the teachings of the church. It is con
ceded that they do not conflict with the
Thirty-nine Articles, and his persecutors
are compelled to fall back upon the ordi
nation service in which 31 r. Newton de
clared his belief in the Holy Scriptures.
No definition of the meaning of this de
claration has been made by the church.
If it means that every clergyman must
believe in the infallibility of every line of
Scripture, then no clergyman ordained
prior to the late revision of the New Tes
tament can accept any of the changes
made by the revisers, for he has solemnly
engaged to believe in the infallibility o"f
the King James version. No one would
dream of charging a clergyman with her
esy lor having doubts as to the diviue
authorship oi the “Song of Solomon,” or
of the literal truthfulness of the Story of
Job. To insist that the declaration in the
ordination service binds clergymen to up
hold the infallibility of the entire Bible is
to render hundreds of even “evangelical”
clergyman liable to be prosecuted for her
esy, and to commit the church to the
absurdity of decreeing the infallibility of
the translators and printers of the King
James version.
If, however, 31r. Newton connot be found
guilty of heresy on the ground that his
views are in conflict with a certain pass
age in the ordination service he must be
acquitted. The church has said that the
Scriptures contain all necessary to salva
tion and that no council can decree any
dogma that cannot be clearly proved by
Scripture, but it has never said to what
extent or in what way the Bible is inspir
ed. The doctrine of the infallibility of
every line ol Scripture is not a doctrine of
the church, and though every clergyman
except 3lr. Newton should hold this doc
trine, Mr. Newton could still dissent from
it without incurring the guilt of heresy.
If his persecutors should remember that
a doctrine which they disbelieve does not
become ipso facto heretical, they might
possibly doubt the expediency of continu
ing their prosecution.
The Gun Wus Loaded But it Wouldn't
Shoot.
Fit Warren in Americas Republican.
I attended a meeting of the Henderson
(Houston county) debating society in the
year 1843. 3lr. Sol Henderson, the vener
able and beloved citizen from w hom the
town derived its name, was then in the
prime of life, a factor in all the useful
enterprises of the neighborhood, and, of
course, a prominent member of the de
bating society.
I have forgotten the subject for discus
sion, but remember it was one of sufficient
importance to enlist public attention and
call out a crowded house.
3lr. Henderson, impressed with the
weight of the subject and the importance
of sustaining his reputation, had prepared
a speech for the occasion with great
labor, and carefully committed it to mem
on'. Night after night, during the two
weeks of preparation, the lamp in his
room revealed the actions of the anxious
inquirer—sometimes reading, sometimes
writing, sometimes buried in reflection,
and always constant at his work, until
the late and lonesome hours came on.
Everybody knew 3lr. Henderson was
loaded aud his most formidable competi
tors dreaded the havoc of the explosion.
3lr. Henderson was,himself, well pleas
ed with his embryo oration. “Many a
time and oft” had he told it to the winds,
piped it amid the silent groves and min
gled its fluent music with tne soug oi the
merry brook; time, time and again had he
rehearsed, before his looking-glass, the
smiles and frowns and stamps and ges
tures necessary to its graceful aud ar
tistic delivery, and now he jestingly boast
ed that he “would drive through, with a
six horse team.”
Well, the night had come, the crowd
were there, the discussion commenced,
and directly 31r. Henderson’s time arriv
ed. He arose. A perfect canopy of starry
eyes beamed on him, expectation sfood
tiptoe, silence reigned, and Henderson,
frightened out of his wits, forgot every
word ol the speech. There he stood and
there we sat. His tongue couldn’t budge
a step beyond “Mr. Chairman;” there it
halted and took the studs. His face began
to redden with a sunset glow and behave
as though it were the perspiratory crater
of a quinine volcano. He felt like a
hundred eyes were sticking in him and, as
if he was himself the very man who stands
pictured on the title page of the almanac.
He stammered, swayed his arms at awk
ward and irregular angles, leaned his
weight first on one foot and then on the
other, reached his hair, scratched his
head, swallowed spit and suddenly re
membered his speech:
“3lr. Chairman, the remarks I am to
make on this occasion, sir, will be entire
ly off-hand, impromptu and extemporane
ous. They will waft uo odors of the mid
night lamp and lead forth no captured
thoughts, now prisoned aud chained in
the dungeon of memory. What 1 shall
say is entirely unstudied and altogether
unpremeditated. It will come from its
ovarium, fresh, new-born and spontane
ous. Other gentlemen will address you
who have threaded the labyrinths of this
theme with patient care and studious in
vestigation. The streams of their elo
quence may ‘swell into torrents, augment
into rivers and expand into seas;’mine
will be but as the fountain that bubbles,
new, from the ground. In my observa
tions I will not be, at each point, like one
who is shaking hands with an old ac
quaintance; the suggestions I am to pre
sent will be only such as may shine down,
with passing light—lambent sunbeams—
from the disk of this effulgent subject.”
He now felt himself so imbued with the
spirit of self-possession that he made a
pair of steps to the front, took the pitcher
in his hand and deliberately poured out a
glass of water aud drank it." Three young
men were whispering. “He needs a sign
board to direct him how to come to the
point,” “or maybe he needs snectacles to
help him see it.” “Ef the ’pint was a
snake hit couldn’t bite him and ef it had
the small-pox he wouldn’t be in no danger
uv eatehin’ it.” The last remark was
louder than the speaker intended; every
body heard it, a general laugh followed
and the orator forgot where he left off. “I
think I have about covered the grounds
and gone through with the arguments
that—that—ah. I think—that is to say—l
think 1 have about ah—” “about broke
down” remarked one of the members, and
the assembly was again convulsed with
laughter and 3lr. Henderson lost his em
barrassment and the remnant of his
speech and 6at down, shaking, from centre
to circumference, with merriment.
It is natural that a long stream of years
should drift alluvium upon the surface of
memory, and this story may therefore be
slightly exaggerated. But that good,
kind, der, old man, 3lr. Henderson, now
late in the evening of a protracted life,
will remember that it is substantially
true when reminded of the fact that Mr.
Sails was then chairman of the society,
Hardy Brown and a young gentleman
from Putnam were two of the disputants
and Dr. Fitzgerald and Rev. E. W. War
ren were members of the audience.
Senators Who Do Not Like •‘Dudes.”
Few York Times.
American dudes and Anglomaniacs
were subjects of discussion in the Senate
Wednesday to the great edification of the
Senators and the amusement of the galler
ies. The matter came up when the Senate
reached on the calendar a joint resolution
which has been in Congress allowing
Ensign L. K. Reynolds, United States
Navy, to receive from the Emperor of
Austria the decoration of the Imperial
Order of Francis Josef in recognition of
his gallantry in saviug 12 persons from a
wrecked Austrian vessel. Mr. Plumb
voiced the sentiments of his Kansas con
stituents by declaring that it was time to
put a stop to that sort of thing altogether.
There seemed to be men in the service of
the American Government who thought
more of a foreign decoration than of their
commissions. People every where were
assuming foreign airs and manners.
About the only things we were permitted
to import were the frills and fashions of
the Old 3Yorld, and about our only ex
ports were people who went abroad in
our service and then berated the country
which gave them their commissions anil
from which they drew their salaries—
people who spent their time trying to con
vince those they met that they were less
Americans than they were residents of
Great Britain or whatever countrv thev
happeued to be stationed in. Mr. Plumb
was decidedly against tfiis sort of thing
as un-American. He thought an Ameri
can decoration was good enough for any
one, but these people seemed to think it
was not in comparison with a decoration
from some person who'had had the kingly
oil poured upon him. lie protested
against the passage of any such measure
as that proposed.
As the representative of the true and
patriotic Americans of Texas Senator
M.ixcy also believed American ways
were good enough tor American citizens,
lie also felt that the thing complained of
by Mr. Plumb was un-American, auti-
Republican, and cultivated a spirit antag
onistic to the institutions of the country.
We had a class of people, “dudes,” he be
lieved they were called, who rode as Eng
lishmen did, pronounced as Englisnmen
did, and aped Englishmen in every way
tbey could. The whole thing was wrong,
and if United States officers couldn’t be
satisfied with American manners they
had better quit the service and go to some
more congenial country.
31r. Morgan, of Alabama, pointed out
that Ensign Reynolds had received a gold
medal from the American Government for
his gallant conduct,, and Mr. 3lorgan
thought we were getting into the very
drivel of democracy when Senators could
object to Austria’s desire to participate iu
recognizing Reynolds’ brave act. 3lr.
Bayard, of Delaware, favored the resolu
tion, and then 3lr. Plumb administered
another thumping to un-American Ameri
cans. He observed that a number ot bills
in the same line were now before the Sen
ate. One of them was to allow the Amer
ican 3linister to Russia to receive a gold
snuff-box or something of that kind for the
dangerous service he performed by stand
ing beside the Czar at the latter’s corona
tion. The line ought to be drawn some
where, Mr. Plumb declared, aud the only
way to draw it was to refuse permission
to ail such applicants.
The Kansas Senator failed to convince
the Senate that the measure was a bad
one, for after Mr. Hoar bad defended it
the resolution was passed. 3lessrs.
Plumb and Maxey. voted “nay” in very
pronounced tones. 3lr. Plumb’s remarks
about similar measures pending in the
Senate evidently referred to a joint resolu
tion introduced’last week by 31r. 31iller,
of California. In this resolution permis
sion is given to Rear-Admiral J. W. A.
Nicholson to accept a medal conferred
upon him by the King of Sweden and
Norway; to Rear-Admiral R. 3\ r . Shufeldt
to receive a sword, Persian carpet, and
other presents from the Sultan of Zanzi
bar, and to Rear-Admiral C. 11. Baldwin
to accept a goldbox,|witha portrait of the
Emperor of Russia set iu diamonds, pre
sented by the Emperor on the occasion of
bis coronation at Moscow. Rear-Admiral
Nicholson has also found an advocate in
the House in the person of the Hon. Sam
uel S. Cox, of New York, who certainly
cannot be considered as desirous of aping
English manuers, but who has asked the
House to allow the Rear-Admiral to ac
cept the King of Sweden and Norway’s
medal.
The Gay Head Indians.
Correspondence Boston Post.
The Gay Head Indians inhabit the re
cently incorporated town of Gay Head on
the westerly end of the county of Dukes,
which embraces the whole of the island
of 3lartha’s Vineyard. This Indian town
has an area of about 2,400 acres, w'hich is
divided into three peninsulas, Nashaquit
sa, Squipnocket aud Gay Head. This
town is nearly severed from the rest of the
island by Menemsha pond. At the pre
sent time there are about 200 Indians at
Gay Head, and unlike many other rem
nants of Indian tribes in the common
wealth, they have /or a few years past
been gradually increasing in numbers.
There are about 50 families, and the peo
ple here have been marked through a
series of years for seeking more profitable
sources of income than their isolated sit
uation naturally afforded, and some of
them have achieved some distinction as
efficient masters of vessels. The morals,
education and marked indications of civ
ilized advancement among them are so
striking that they attract attention among
those w ho chance to visit their sequester
ed island home.
If there is a spot in all New England
where a recluse might wish to find perfect
repose, free from the troubles and anxie
ties of lilk Gay Head is the place, and yet
the Gay Headers are quite jealous of the
influences and approaches of foreigners,
having had a good deal of trouble with
those who have married some of their
daughters and settled among them.
There is quite a diversity of soil in Gay
Head, some very good land and some very
poor. Many cattle are driven here from
other parts of the Vineyard for pasturage
during the summer. One may stand on
the southerly shore of Gay Head and see
the little island of “Noman’s Land” three
miles away at the south, which is also
utilized for pasturage. There is a unique
kind of clay found at Gay Head, which is
used for making alum and for other pur
poses. This kind or species of clay is not
found in any other part of New England.
Formerly when a vessel came for this clay
the men, women and children would
swarm around and assist in loading, for
which they received pay. The cranberries
of Gay Head were formerly public proper
ty,and were not touched ’ till a given
day, when the picking commenced, when
all go to work with all their might and
gather all within their ability. The value
of the cranberry crop varies from SIOO to
S3OO, and they receive annually about $250
for pasturage. But the revenue from the
clay has become almost nothing. There
is some of this olav in the adjoining town
of Chilmark, which can be placed on
board of vessels at prices which defy Gay
Head to compete.
Formerly any member of this tribe at
Gay Head could take up, fence in and im
prove as much of the land as he pleased,
and w hen enclosed it became his own. It
might very naturally be inferred that such
a state of things would engender many
disputes and quarrels, but such was not
the case. Such a state of things was a
kind of U imperium in imperio 'not con
ducted by any code of laws except hone
and muscle of those taking up the land.
The Gay Head Indians are a mixture of
the red, white and black races, and there
is, too, some southern blood among them,
and also Portuguese and Dutch; for listeu,
here are some of the names among them,
to wit; John Randolph, Madison, Corsa,
Sylvia and Vanderhoop. Through the in
termarrying aud the coming in of for
eigners 'it has almost pushed out the
purely Indian names. Thev are, on the
whole, a moral, frugal, industrious and
temperate people, and are quite equal in
these respects to white people, with simi
lar surroundings.

THE LUNCH-COUNTER,
As Tie-wed From a Texas Standpoint by
a Victim.
Texas Siftings.
Of all the pernicious institutions of this
country the railroad luuch-counter is the
most noxious, pestiferous ancl infamous.
It has not kept up with the march of pro
gress nor advanced with the improvement
of the age. You always approach a lunch
counter, especially if it is one you have
never visited before, with hope, 'and you
leave it with despair. As you climb
upon a high stool and stick your
elbows in a lump of grease on
the counter you are cheered by the
sight of the glittering nickel plated coffee
urn, and a feeling of sanguine expectancy
creeps over your inside as your eye ranges
over the cards hanging behind the counter,
which read: Turkey," 10cents; coffee, 10
cents; lamb
kinds, 10 cents; “vsters, every style, 15
cents, etc. The man who waits on you
wears a dirty apron and a sad, tired-of
life-and-of-dishing-out-pies-and-coffee ex
pression of countenance. When you at
tract his attention and give him your or
der he goes off with great enthusiasm to
get it, but be is stopped by the hungry
mortals all along * the line of the
counter, who clamor for various
articles of fond. He dashes a dab
of butter on a little plate at the man in
the linen duster, jams an empty plate un
der the nose of the red-faced man with the
cinder in his eye, throws a plate of
doughnuts to the drummer who is trying
to suppress his ravenous appetite with
pickles, fills the brakeman’s order for a
glass of cold tea aud a 10-cent chunk of
custard pie, and flings a ham sandwich at
the sleeping-car porter, who carries it off
to gnaw it at his leisure in the retire
ment of the sleeping-car dressing-room.
Then there is a clash of plates and glasses
and of knives and forks that turn around
in their handles, and the sad-eyed mis
creant brings you the coffee and turkey
with a take-it-or-leaye-it just-as-you —-
please air. Before he comes back with
the salt and mustard an interval elapses
during which he serves seven more
hungry passengers, and dives into
an ante-room where he seems, to you. to
rest five or six minutes. You feel that
your system demands bread. You im
agine that the “fifteen minutes for refresh
ments” are about up, and, in desperation,
you load your internal economy with in
digestible doughnuts, because you are
afraid to wait for the bread, and you scald
the lining of the roof of your mouth with
the hot, gritty fluid called coffee. Every
thing is gritty and taste -of coal dust, and
you feel uncomfortable and unclean and
you wish you were dead. Then you pay
the caitiff behind the counter 50 cents,
and you wish you were dead some more
while you rush out thinking that the train
is moving off, but you find that you have
only been pampering vour appetite in
the banqueting hall for five minutes,
aud that you have yet ten minutes to
spare, and you go ‘back to the lunch
counter and buy two cigar 6 for a
quarter. As the train pulls out and goes
thundering past farm houses, where you
know are stacks of home-made pies, piles
of flaky biscuits, churns full of hilarious
buttermilk, and tables groaning with
yellow-legged chickens and mealy Irish
potatoes, you curse the lailroads that
a}low the grasping, hydra-headed and
smoke-begrimined lunch-stand monopoly
to exist, and by that time your two-for-a
quarter cigar begins to swell up in the
middle and fray at the edges. You, out
of consideration for the feelings of the
other passengers, leave the smoking-car
and finish the cigar on the rear platform,
where the winds carry the 12%-ceut. efflu
via otft into the adjacent settlements and
makes the honest granger think that the
cholera has come at last.
PORTE AM) PATRIARCH.
Resignation of Joachim lll.—Causes
That Led to It.
A letter from Constantinople, dated De
cember 30, says: The Creek Patriarch,
Joachim 111., has resigned. You may be
aware that the ancient theocratic regime
still exists here, just as it did in the fif
teenth century, when Mohammed 11. took
Constantinople. The conqueror, more
anxious to conquer than to reform, in
order to get rid of the government of the
conquered people handed it over to their
clergy, thinking in this way to pacify the
people by leaving their language, their
religion, their customs, and their clergy.
This state of things, confirmed by numer
ous imperial decrees, uuderwent no modi
fication.
The result is that in civil affairs it is to
the Greek clergy, and not to the courts of
the empire that the Ottoman Greeks have
to apply. Hence arise complications of
all sorts, out of which a considerable pro
fit is derived by the Greek cleigy.
The Sublime Porte, having adopted a
new code and established tribunals in the
European fashion throughout the empire,
has decreed that in future the orthodox
people in civil matters must be subject to
the Ottoman courts just the same as other
subjects of the empire, especially in cases
of divorce, alimony and wills, and also
that the orthodox may, if they wish, be
tried by the Turkish" courts. It is re
markable that the Porte imposes nothing
in this affair, but simply gives the right
to choose. It the Greek prefers the jus
tice of his priests, he can have recourse
to it, and if he is not satisfied with it he
can appeal to the civil tribunals. The
Porte simply asserts its authority, mak
ing all its subjects equal before the law.
But the clergy don’t give up so easily
their rescripts and their prerogatives.
The Synod and the Lay National Council
met under the Presidency of the Patri
arch Joachim, and drew up a non possu
rnus in due form, declaring that the ad
ministration of the Church was impossi
ble without the preservation of its tem
poral privileges—a sad admission, but
not new. Pius IX. also declared that
without the temporal power he could uot
direct the Catholic Church. No atten
tion was paid to him, and his successor
governs none the less successlully.
The decision ot the Synod was for
warded to the Porte and ignored. Then
Joachim 111. called the Synod together
again and handed in his resignation.
Then there was weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth among the clergy and
the notables, followed by a formal refusal
to accept the resignation,and a declaration
that Joachim alone could direct the
Greek Church, and that it was impossible
to appoint his successor. All this was
followed by anew address to the Poite,
requesting it not to accept the resigna
tion. But Joachim held fast and would
not revoke his decision. The Porte bad
nothing more to say, and so the matter
rests there.
The Restaurant Keeper's Flag.
New York Sun.
“Jimmy, get the flag I”
This command was given by the land
lord of a down-town restaurant, just after
an able-bodied colored man had asked for
a meal and been told that he could have
one if he would earn it. Jimmy brought
forth a banner whereon was painted the
restaurant’s advertisement. The colored
man was told to walk with it—slowly, so
slowly that everybody on the sidewalk
might read it—around two or three blocks,
for an hour and a half, the promise being
that then he should have a good dinner.
Later in the day the reporter called, and
was told that the colored man had earned
his dinner and eaten it. “These applica
tions have been constant for years past,”
the restaurateur said, “and I have had
that advertisement carried In the streets
for years.”
“Did you ever lose your flag?”
“Yes, a man in a dress that wasn’t yet
shabby nerved himself up to taking it
out, one afternoon two years ago, and I
didn’t see it until, three or four days later,
I was passing the store of one of my
neighbors, and he called me in, saying
that a man dodged into his store and
asked permission to leave it there while
he stepped round the corner to see a
friend. The man had carried the flag
three blocks, and then his resolution had
failed him.”
Very Fastidious.
Texas Siftings.
A couple of gentlemen were dining, or
preparing to dine, at a certain restau
rant. When the eloquent waiter had
said: “Roast beel'muttonehopporktender
loinandfriedliver?” one of the gentle
men shrugged his shoulders, and ex
claimed:
“Don’t bring me any liver.”
“Ah!” exclaimed the other gentleman,
“then I take it you are not particularly
fond of liver.”
“No, not in the least. I don’t yearn for
liver.”
“Any particular reason ?”
“Why, yes. You see I can hardly take
up a copy of a daily paper, nowadays, hut
I see the advertisement: ‘Lost—A liver
colored pointer dog.’ So you see the as
sociation is not pleasant. ‘ So fas as I am
concerned, it doesn’t make a whit’s differ
ence whether it is a liver-colored dog or a
dog-colored liver with which they tempt
my appetite.”

CONGRESS SPRING,
The Standard Mineral Water.
Cathartic, Alterative. A specific
for disorders ot the Stomach, Liver

So enviable a name has this famous Mineral
Water that the managers of inferior mineral
springs, desirous of imitating the natural
parity of the bottled water of Congress Spring,
inject a powerful acid iu their bottled water
to preserve the crude ingredients in solution—
being so heavily laden with
LIME AND 111 ON DEPOSIT.
With such contrivances, bogus testimonials
and doctored analysis cards they seek to rival
the pure medicinal waters of Congress Spring.
The regular season visitors to Saratoga fully
understand these crude, harsh waters, many
of them after painful experiences. In proof
of this fact we can produce a great many re
sponsible names. But the Saratoga visitors
without experience, aud many who use the
bottled waters (often labeled as curatives for
disorders which they positively aggravate),
should remember that crude, harsh mineral
waters produce headache, a sense of burning
and internal irritation, and do irreparable in
jury to the digestive organs and kidneys.
