A NOBLE AMONG COWBOYS.
The Earl of A> lesford El vine In Western
Texas Until His Debts Are raid.
Big Springe, Texas, Letter 'Jan. tS) toy. Y. Sun.
A live, “fiure-enough” Earl is an object
ot interest anywhere, and one would sup
pose that on the Staked Plains of Texas,
a place the very last you would look to
Snd him, he would be not only the subject
of curiosity and comment, but a person
of distinguished consequence, there is
an Earl out here and he passes for a good
fellow, but that’s all. The democratic
cow bov repudiates his title and calls him
••the .Judge.” which tits his Lordship no
better than it does many of the judicial
persuasion.
Years ago. from the time when Texas
was first discovered by Sam Houston and
I>avy Crockett until the Texas and Pacific
Railroad made the country accessible, the
staked Plain was supposed to lie a barren
desert, drv and dreary, and the reckless
pioneers who tried to cross it left their
bones upon the sand as testimony to its
dangers. Gen. John Pope made a trans
continental survey in 1852 under the au
thority of an act of Congress introduced
by Thomas H. Benton, and his trail passed
through this place, which is situated be
side three great, wonderful wells of ice
cold water, thirty feet wide and fifty teet
deep, whose source is somewhere in the
mysterious bosom of nature, and whose
surplus is swallowed greedily by the
thirsty sand. In old days the buttalo
shared the blessing with the Indians, and
then the pioneers who crossed the conti
nent with fieets of prairie schooners used
to anchor here for lest and recuperation
after struggling w ith the dangers ol one
desert and before attempting tbe difficul
ties of another.
The ranchman has discovered that Gen.
Pope was wrong when he marked this
cdhntrv off on the map as worthless and
uninhabitable, for to-day the land is re
deemed from the coyote and prairie dog,
and is the pasturage of marly a million
cattle,yielding a revenue that is as large in
proportion to the capital invested here as
any section of similar area in the world.
Tbe cow-man claims that for grazing the
Staked Plain has no superior, and he will
argue all night oruntit the bottle is empty,
to convince you that Wyoming and Mon
tana are not fit for cattle to live ou in
comparison.J
The noted Earl or Aylesford is here, lie
made his appearance last August in
q£ an agent of Jay Goukl. A
pleasing location at the head of a creek
twelve miles north of this village seemed,
to strike his fancy, and he bought a large
tract of the Texas and Pacific land grant
and settled down, as he says, to stay. lie
insists that this is to be his future and
permanent home, and that no induce
ments could coax him back to the fogs of
Ixrndon.
Why did he coma here, and why does
he stay'!” By referring to Burke's Peerage
you will see that the seventh Earl of
Aylesford is Mr. lleneage Finch, and that
lie inherits his title from a famous jurist
of that name. He was born in 1 S4'.t, and
came into his estates, which are among
the largest and most profitable in Eng
land, about tbe time he reached his ma
jority. lu 1871 lie married Edith, the
daughter of Col. Peers Williams. M. P..
of Temple House, Berks, and has two
children. Hilda Gwendolin, born in IsTJ.
and Alexandra Monica, born in 1875, to
a-bom the Princess of Wah - is godmother.
The Earl has three hrothi rs, Clement,
Charles and Daniel, all officers in Her
Majesty's service. lie was an intimate
satellite of the Prince of Wales, accom
panying his Royal Highness on his India
expedition, and being his companion in
many famous frolics that Her Majesty's
subjects are willing to forgive atul forget.
At one time the Earl was said to lie the
greatest spendthrift in Europe, and when
the Crown Prince of Russia visited Eng
land he entertained him on a scale of in
ordinate extravagance.
After being divorced from bis wife, the
Earl was banished front society and lim
ited to an allow ance of $50,000 a year. He
came to America and, after spending
some time in New York, sought a place
in which to bury himself, and finally se
lected Texas. Mr. Gould sent a land agent
out with him and when a location for a
ranch was decided upon, tlie Earl depos
ited $30,000 in tbe bank at Big Springs and
commenced the erection of a house upon
his property. It is a plain, unpainted
frame affair, one story and attic, with
seven rooms. The interior is plastered
and handsomely decorated.
In looks, the Earl is as fine a specimen
of manhood as one often encounters. He
is six feet two in his stockings, broad and
robust, and bearded like a Turk. His
gray flannel shirt and creaiu-colored cor
duroys are very becoming, and a scarlet
tie under bis chin gives a good eotitrast to
his sun-burned face.
He bad not been here long when his two
brothers, the Hon. Clement Finch and the
Hon. Daniel Finch, arrived, bringing with
them a retinue of five servants, grooms,
cooks and valets, twelve dogs, a coach
and a dog cart, and a goodly quantity ot
commissary supplies. Clement remained
but a few w eeks and returned to England,
but Daniel shares the Earl's exile and
appears to enjoy life on the frontier as
much as his celebrated brother. Although
the Earl has 27,000 acres of land, he has,
so far, purchased no cattle, and shows no
signs of making such an investment. The
popular opinion is that he lacks the means.
There are twenty horses in the stable but
no cows. The $30,000 which was deposit
ed iu August is pretty nearly exhausted,
but a draft on England for £IO,OOO was
placed in tbe bank for collection on the
Ist of January, which is supposed to rep
resent the Earl’s annual allow ance, and
the people expect him to purchase a herd
of cattle when the cash comes back.
The Earl and his brother spend their
time riding, hunting and having fuu with
the cow boys, with whom they are very
popular. There was a good deal ot guy
ing at first, but his Lordship took it so
good naturedly and responded so promptly
and aptly in kind, that it soon ceased anil
the cow punchers uow regard the seventh
Earl of Aylesford as one of them, and
treat him accordingly. As I have said,
they call him '‘the Judge’ - and his brother
“the Kid,'’ and tbe familiarity does not
oud there. Scarcely a knife is lifted at
the Earl’s table w ithout the companion
ship ot some cowboy from a neighboring
ranch, and the boys for miles around
know that a fresh bottle is opened w hen
ever a guest enters the house. Many a
night has the Earl beside tlie camp
fires or in the cabins of the herders, and
as often has shared his bed with them.
Although they profess contempt lor the
aristocracy and pretend to despise Ins
title, one can detect an admiration that
approaches reverence for their noble com
panion, and not one of them but will re
sent any reflections cast upon his name.
Only once during his stay here has he met
with accident or injury, and that was
when he attempted to separate a couple
of fighting cowboys in a Big Springs sa
loon and received a crack over the head
with a bottle that laid him flat on the
floor.
The Earl avoids the society of the vil
lage and has persistently refused to visit
any one of the houses in town. There
was a church fair held not long ago and
his attendance was urged, but he declined
the invitation and enclosed a S2O bill
therewith. He often speaks of his life in
England and bis trip with the l’rince to
India, and entertains the cowboys around
the camp fires at night with stories of his
bunting adventures in all parts of the
world He reverently alludes to his
mother as "the old girl," but was never
heard to mention his wife or refer to his
matrimonial experience. He is a liberal
patron of tbe business bouses of Big
Springs, which consists mostly of saloons,
aud ow ns an establishment of the sort
himself, which he bought on speculation
some time ago and rents for $lO a month.
The people generally think well of him,
but do not expect him to remain as a per
manent resident. They think he will go
back to England when his debts are paid
and bis property is released, it he doesn't
break his neck in the mean time. That
portion of his anatomy is considered in
serious danger, for he is at present prac
ticing the equestrian feats for which the
cowboys are famous, one of which is to
toss a silver dollar on the ground aud pick
it up while riding by at full gallop. He
has fallen off his horse several times
while engaged in this dangerous endeavor
but brushes off the dust and tries it again.
California l’luck.
Stockton Independent.
Miss Emma French, who lives a few
miles from this city, went into the held
vesterdav to shoot geese, accompanied by
her brother. The young lady carried a
parlor rifle, and at a time when it was
pointed to the ground it went off accident
ally, shattering one of her toes. She came
into the city and consulted Dr. Hudson,
and submitted to an amputation of the
toe. When the doctor suggested to the
young lady that she could be placed un
der the influence of chloroform, she said:
“No; if your instruments are sharp 1 will
see the operation performed.” Accord
ingly, the toe was removed without a sign
from the young lady to indicate pain.

A NOVEL ENTERPR
YVliat Mr. Rarnum Intends 1 t.
Par in Homing Metes.
The real meaning of e 0 f
Barnum’s white elephant is that a rew
and original scheme is on foot for the ex
tension of American business enterprise
to the government of the world. A great
company has been formed by the shrewd
and benevolent showman for the adminis
tration of decrepit and worn-out States by
contract, on Yankee notions. The capi
tal is all subscribed. It is argued that
most of these States would Ire glad to do
well if they only knew how: and they
would be disposed to enter into an ar
rangement with a body of responsible
dealers for the benefit of their suffering
populations. The modus operandi is as
follows: The company makes a tender to
a particular State for running the whole
concern at a price which effects a consid
erable saving in the cost of native gov
ernment. It appoints its own officers and
“finds” the reigning family, Royal or Im
perial, in board, bulging, and all tbe more
elaborate accessories of state. The legis
lative oflb-ers w ill be largely drawn from
Boston, the executive from tbe neighbor- !
hood of Laramie, where a kind of stock
farm lias been set up for the supply. A
tender lias already been made to the Khe
dive, and the results of it are to be seen
in the appointment of Mr. Mason, an
American, to the Governorship of Mas
sowah, as recently chronicled in our
columns. A traveler, formerly in theem
ployof a well known commercial house in
Boston, has been sent to the Mahdi to
propose an amicable arrangement with
him on the basis of a frank recognition of
tbe inole in his side, the trade mark of his
prophetic mission; and, it appears, the i
main outstanding difficulty between him
and the Egyptian Government. This
agent is the bearer of an autograph letter
from Mr. Beecher designed to call the at
tention of hi 9 illustrious confrere to the j
superior advantages of a peaceful aposto
late; and he also carries an earnest invi
tion from Mr. Talmage to a tour in the
United States, with the offer of his taber- j
nacle for a lecture, and the prospect of a |
return visit to Kordofan. The agent will
back these appeals by the display of a num- i
!>er of samples of American civilization
—among them a remnant in carpets of a j
far more cheerful pattern than the holy
carpet of Mecca, which has been the
cause of so much heart-burning between
tbe Mabdi and the Sultan of Turkey. An
other a"ent. meanwhile, will the
whole body of the fellaheen through the ‘
bankruptcy court on the basis of a reason
able composition. Turning to other
countries, the contract with Turkey is al
ready well advanced, and as a recognition
ol the fact that the seraglio is the chiel
obstacle to good government in that part
of the world, a handsome offer has been
made to Miss Susan B. Anthony to ad
dress the Turkish ladies on the higher
destines of woman on behalf of the com
pany. The company has shown great
judgment in adapting its proposals to the
customs of each particular State. Thus,
in Russia, the Ministers will lie offered a
haudsom epourboire at a fixed rate, in
commutation of the private tolls they are
at present in the habit of levying ou all
industrial enterprise.
A Colored Man Who Has Enlisted.
Detroit Free Press.
Y esterday a reporter was passing alon fc -
Woodbridge street when he saw, in the
chilling shades of the rear end of the
somewhat ancient Michigan Exchange, a
colored man walking up and down the
sidewalk. He was lending dignity to the
uniform of the cavalry branch of the
United States army, the clanking sabre,
tbe bright buttons'aud yellow trimmings
of his coat not shining more brightly than
did his black face, radiant with the im
portance of his position.
“Do they enlist colored tnen in the re
cruiting office up-stairs!"” asked the re
porter.
“Yaas, indeed, salt. Ou’y they don’t
get mo’ than the law ’lows.”
“For w hat service?”
“Cavalry, sab.”
“Have you ever been in the service be
fore?"
“Y aas, salt. I ’listed in the wa’ in *Ol
when I wuz on’y 15 yeahs ole—l wuz big
of my size, as you see, and went in as
bein’ 21 yeahs ole.”
••Have you no trade?”
“Yaas, sah. Use a bahba, and had a
chair fo’ yeahs at the Burnett House, Cin
einnaty."
“YVhy did you go into the army again ?”
“ ’Cause I’m tired of this yeah glidin’
’round-a-bout and seekin’.”
“What’s that ?”
“Well, you see, a colored man, if he
ain’t got good do’s, kin hunt ’roun’ fer
days aud days lookin’ fer a job among his
own people and git nothin’ but tbe cole
shoulder. Black people are the cussedest
lot ’mong black people you ever see.
They’re all powerful tony, or all want to
be, and they’ll live ten in a room and eat
bread and ’lasses forever, jist to save
money to put on their backs.”
“Are you a married man?”
“Not now. I wuz two or three yeahs
ago, but my wife died.”
“When are you to do service?”
“Dunno. The mau up-stairs kiu tell
you mo’ ’bout that than I,” said the col
ored trooper, as he straightened up and
resumed his pacing in superb style, calcu
lated to impress with awe two colored
men who were just coming up from the
river.
Meanwhile the reporter went up-stairs,
and in the absence of Major Drew, who
had charge of the office, asked the Ser
geant on duty there as to the enlisting of
colored recruits. The colored men are be
ing enlisted for the two regiments of col
ored soldiers stationed in the Southwest
Territories, and they make good soldiers.
Very few colored recruits are found in
Detroit, but at the offices in Cincinnati
and Louisville they are plentiful.
“How many recruits do you get in De
troit per month?”
“Between thirty and forty, out of per
haps 200 applicants, the 160 and 170 men
rejected failing because’ of physical or
mental weaknesses, age and doubtful
moral character.”
Painfully Embarrassed.
Detroit Free Press.
A stranger who got into the Union depot
yards recently while trying to find the
railroad ferry slip, would have been run
down by one of the numerous switch loco
motives had not a man at work in the
flour sheds seized him and pulled him off
of the track. The stranger was greatly
confused and shaken up for a moment,
but after he had taken a seat on the plat
form and got his breath he called out:
“My man, that was nobly done! I ex
pect you can make use of $5,000 in cash?”
“Well, perhaps.”
The stranger breathed heavily, rubbed
his arm, and alter a minute continued:
“Yes, L feel just like making you a pres
ent of a thousand dollars.”
“This was a painful reduction from his
first observation, but it wasn’t for the
flour-roller to find fault. He brushed
away at the stranger’s hat to get the dust
off, and as he handed it ov*r he was in
formed :
“I think you would know where to put
SIOO if you had it, eh?”
“I want nothing, sir. You were in
danger, and 1 pulled you away.”
“But I shall insist upon your accepting i
something. Y’ou certainly saved my life, .
and I shouldn't begrudge $25.”
He got out his wallet, which was crowd- i
ed full of bills, and as he handled them
over he remarked:
“Ten dollars would buy your wife a I
dress, and every time she "wore it you ■
could think of me."
“Yes, sir."
The bill came out but was quickly re- !
placed, aud after a minute spent in some |
mental calculation, the stranger all at
once handed out a $2 bill with the obser
vation :
"Here, my man, go and get you anew
bat, and rest assured 1 shall ever be grate
ful to you.”
Then it was seen that the laborer was
painfully embarrassed. He shifted from
one leg to the other, looked up ami down
the shed, and when asked the trouble he
replied:
“Please, sir, but haven’t you any
small change about yon ? I think a quar
ter would be plenty of reward for saving
your life.”
“A quarter! Well, considering tbe
railroad company pays you for the time
you were hauling me around, maybe
that's enough. Here it is. and 1 hope you
will make good use of it. 1 guess I can
£et down to the slip all right from here, but
if you happen to save my life again you
can look for half a dollar at least.”

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1884.
MRS. DEWEES BREAKS SILENCE.
Husband and Wife Pass Twenty-five
Years Without Speaking to Each Other.
Savs a special oi February 5 to the New
York Sun: An event of considerable
importance has occurred in a little larin
house a few miles from Canton, 0., with
in a few days. Mrs. Dewees spoke to her
husband. This is what she said:
“William, I believe I am dying.”
However, she did not die, aud she is now
nearly well again. But the fact that she
spoke" at all to her husband has greatly
excited those who are acquainted with
the old couple. They are past three score.
This is the first time either has spoken to
the other for nearly a quarter ol a century,
though each has spoken to other persons
daily all the while.
Nearly twenty-five years ago Mrs.
De wees desired her husband to do a tri
lling thing which he regarded as either im
possible or unwise, and he refused. She,
becoming petulant with disappointment,
rashly exclaimed:
“If you don’t I’ll never speak to you
again "as long as l live.”
“I not only will not do it,” he said,
aroused to anger, “but I will not speak to
you until you first speak to me.”
The issue thus joined lasted longer than
either imagined it would. Until the re
cent night spoken of ueither Mr. nor Mrs.
Dewees ever uttered a word to the other.
Tbe quarrel was soon over, and the best
of feeling was resumed between them.
They have lived together ever since, con
tented and harmonious, the only cloud
upon their happiness being their silence
towards each other. But even that has
had its advantages. When Mr. Dewees
wanted to say anything to his wife he
would say, for example, tc. one of the chil
dren: “Jennie, tell your mother I wish
she would sew another button on my over
alls.” Or the mother would say: “John,
tell your father to bring some sugar, oil,
pepper and a spool of thread, No. 60, from
town to-day.” At first It was difficult for
them to repress tbe injpulse to speak to
each other, but, being persons of strong
will, they stuck doggedly to ther resolu
tions until habit made it easy to do so.
“Yes,” said Mr. Dewees to a neighbor
one day; “we have not spoken for near
twenty-five years. It has sometimes been
a little inconvenient, and, of course, it
seems silly to most people; but it has
been a blessing to us in some ways. That
one quarrel was our last. I know from
my disposition and hers that, if we had
kept ou talking wo should also have kept
off quarreling more or less. Possibly we’d
have got worse, because we are both
pretty highstrung, and it might have
gone so far that we’d have been divorc
ed.”
On the night when the silence was
broken Mrs. Dewees had been ill for sev
eral days, and about 1 o’clock in the morn
ing she awoke in great pain, and thought
her end bad come. In her agony she
called to her husband:
“William, I believe I am dying!”
Tbe old couple have been talking to each
other ever since.
HUMMING minis.
Something About the Survival of the
Fittest.
English Mag,nine for February.
Sun birds are only found in Africa and
India, including the Malayan region: true
humming birds as everybody knows, are
entirely confined to the American conti
nent. In other words, the same place in
nature which has been occupied in the
tropics of tbe old world by a group of
sparrow-like birds, lias been occupied in
the tropics of the new world by a group
of highly developed swifts. lienee the
humming birds, though descended from a
totally different ancestral stock, have
in the end acquired almost every
one of the peculiar features which
the sun birds display in our own
eastern continental area. The same
conditions have in the end produced in both
cases pretty much the same results. At
some remote period, a group of tropical
American swifts began to hunt for insects
among the tubes of flowers, exactly as
the ancestral sun birds began to do iiijthe
eastern hemisphere. Gradually, as the
habit of flower-haunting became more and
more pronounced, the organization of the
birds began to depart, unoer the influence
of natural selection, more and more
widely from the primitive swdft-like
type. The birds best adapted to the new
circumstances survived and intermarried,
while the worst adapted died constantly
out. The short, broad bill was thus slow
ly lengthened into the extremely long,
slender and graceful beak of the
modern humming birds, and the wings
were adapted to the rapid, darting flight
from flower to flower, and the habit of
poising stationary in front of the chosen
bunch of blossoms. Yet to the end the
humming birds in their anatomical pecu
liarities still remain essentially swifts,
aud are easily distinguished by ti natural
ist from the externally similar but funda
mentally different perching sun birds.
Indeed, Mr. Wallace has shown that hum
ming birds even now’ live, like the switts,
mainly on insects, and when he tried to
feed some young humming birds in cap
tivity on sugar and water alone he found
they refused that unwonted tare in favor
of flies and spiders. In short, young hum
ming birds are still essentially in the
swift stage of their development.
A LOVELY PURPLE VINE.
One ot the New Decorative Plants to be
Found in the Greenhouses.
New York Keening Post.
Boganvillia spectabilis, tbe fascinating
vine oi a wonderful purple color, is now
in market and may be ordered iu quanti
ties from a Poughkeespie grower. This
grows wild in South America, where it
festoons the forest; it is difficult to make
it flower in the constructed conservato
ries iu this region, however. It is a pecu
liar plant; when its dazzling flowers ap
pear, the foliage drops off; it requires
about four weeks after the blossoms open
for them to deepen to their best color.
The flowers never fall and even after the
vine is cut will remain perfect tor weeks.
When dried they are like tissue paper,
but cling firmly to their stem. Those lor
tunate enough to procure enough of this
vine to festoon a mirror or pictures may
depend on it for many months for orna"-
ment. Two decorations have already
l>een made of Boganvillia spectabilis.
There are few flowers tiiat will combine
with its marvelous color. Bignonia
Venusta is very elegant garlanded with
it and lilies have not their fairness cloud
ed by it.
A decoration at Delmonleo’s, where
white doves placed at intervals held this
vine in their beaks, was altogether love
ly; white wing were spread over pictures
and birds were perched on chandeliers;
each held sprays of the fairy-like vine with
its tremulous blossoms.

1 took a large spider from his welt un
der the basement of a mill, put him ou a
chip and set him afloat on the quiet wa
ters of the pond. He walked all about the
sides of his bark, surveying the situation
very carefully, and when the fact that he
was really afloat and a yard from shore
seemed to be fully comprehended, he pros
pected for the nearest point of land. This
point fairly settled upon, he
immediately began to east a
web lor it. He threw it as tar as
possible in the air and with the wind. It
soon reached the shore and made fast to
the spires of grass. Then he turned him
self about, and in true sailor fashion be
gan to haul in hand over hand on his ca
ble. Carefully he drew upon it until his
bark began to’move toward the shore. As
it moved faster he the faster drew upon it
to keep his hawser taut aud lrom touch
ing the water. Very soon he reached the
shore, and quickly leaping to terra firma
he sped his way homeward. Thinking then
that he might tie a special expert and an
exception in that line of boatmanship to
the rest of bis companions, I tried several
of them, and they all came to shore in like
manner.
YVhv a Hough Civilly Begged Pardon.
Chicago Herald.
A gentleman entered a car at a way sta

aisle accidentally knocked to the floor the
hat of an uncouth, rough-looking chap,
who lay in a seat with his head project

“I beg your pardon, sir,” remarked the
gentleman, politely.
“Yer want to be kind of careful how
you go staggering ’round,” replied the
ill-natured rough, as the gentleman pass

“Venture to say he never asked any
one’s pardon,” I said to the passenger
next to me.
“Y’ou’re mistaken there,” the latter re
