were cutting rates. Reading dropped 2%,

nadian Pacific 1%, Pacific Mail 1, and Union
Pacific 1 per cent. The decline was only tem
porary, however, for when the bank state
ment was issued the market became very ac
tiv and strong. The weekly exhibit of the
associated banks was unexpectedly favorable.
The stock to turn the market was Missouri
Pacific, which was fought heavilv for ins de
account. Western Union was also strong.
Buying for London an i the Continent was
larger to-day than for a week past. This
buying was not e nfined to any special st- ck.
There were reactions at inter* als, but each
decline brought fresh orders. To-day in the
advance, prices ranged from %t 05% per cent.
Missouri Pacific, Northwest. St. Paul, Lacka
wanna, Louisville and Nashville, Union Pa
cific, and Western Union were most promi-
nent. Missouri Pacific rose 5% per cent..
Western Union 4%, Northwest 3%, St. Paul
3%, Lackawanna and Louisville and Nashville
4 1 4. Northern Pacific preferred 1%, Omaha 1,
ditto preferred 1%, Union Pacific4!<, and New
York Central 2%. Near the close New Jersey
Central was weak, and dropped 2% per cent.
The general list reacted slightly, but left off
strong. Compared with Thursday’s closing,
pric s are per cent, higher, except
Canadian Pacific, which is 1%. Lake Shore 1%,
New Jersey Central 2%, and Reading 2% per
cent, lower. Sales 391,000 shares, the market

ST. JOSEPH’S MALE ORPHANAGE,
WASHINGTON, GEORGIA.
Seventh Annual Report, from February
1, 1883, to February 1, 1884.
Right Rev. IF. //. Gromt. D. />., Sarannsth, Ga.:
liT. Rev. ano Dear Bisnor— In presenting
the seventh annual report of your Male Or
phanage it is a pleasure to be alile to say that
it is in a flourishing condition.
The generous support heretofore given it
by the people has been continued, enabling
the Sisters in charge to provide for a’l the
wants of the institution and make its inmates
comfortable and hat-py.
Thanks to the goodness of God qnd the en
lightened care of the Sisters, the usual good
health has been preserved, no serious sickness
having occurred during the year.
Tim two schools, primary and intermediate,
provided for the or] ha i boys are remarkab y
well conducted. The public examination,
helil on the fourth of last July, was attended
by a large number of visitors from Savannah,
Augusta, Atlanta and Maeon. The very thor
ough manner in which the examination was
made, together with the correct and ready
answers of the boys, were such as to win the
admiration of all, and showed conclusively
that the important duty of educating tlie or
phan lioys is conscientiously discharged,
Y'our own gold medal for good conduct was
won bv Master Joseph Clarke, of Augusta;
the gold medal for proficiency in study was
won by Master John Mahoney, of Savannah;
the gold cross for Christian doctrine was
awarded to Master Willie Raney,of Augusta,
and tlic silver medal, for drawing, was award
ed to Master Daniel McDonald, or Macon.
Many book premiums and pictures were given
to the other boys, according to their standing
in their respective classes. Every boy re
ceived something, either for good conductor
application to study.
The presence of so many visitors at their
examination, and tins reception of their med
als and premiums from the hands of their
own beloved Bishop, has hud a most salutary
effect. The l>oys seem to realize that, though
they are orphans, there is something to live
for—the honors of school life are open to them
as well as to more favored children. May it
not bg hoped that the efforts made to succeed
in school life are indicative of the efforts they
will make in after life to become upright,
honorable men?
The next public examination and distribu
tion of medals and premiums willl take place
early in July, due notice of which will be
given, ami visitors invited to come and see
for them elves what kind of schools are pro
vided lor the poor homeless orphan boys of
your diocese.
The morality of the boys is all that can be
desired. They are so good, respectful and
obedient that the Sisters find it more of a
pie sure than a task to labor for their comfort
and happiness. Not a single ea-e of insub
ordination lias occurred during the year. This
desirable state of affairs has been brought
about by the gentle firmness of the Sisters in
managing the boys. Their sense of honor is
always appealed to with success. By this
kind."but firm, discipline, corporal punish
ment is avoided and their affectionate confi
dence won by the Sisters, who know so well
how to use it, in teaching them to live for high
an*i noble purposes.
Ninety-one orphan boys have been provided
for during the year. Of these 38 were from
Savannah; 16from Augusta; 10 front Atlanta;
6 from Macon; 5 from sliaron; 3 from At liens;
3 from Washington; 2 from Columbus; 1 front
Milledgevilie; 1 front Sparta, and one from
Darien. Twenty-one boys were received
during the* year, and 16 sent away. Nine of
the l itter were returned to relatives, and 7
provided witii places, leaving at present 75
boys in the asylum, accredited to the respec
tive cities as"foto*'s: Thirty-one from Sa
vannah; )3 from Augusta; 9 from Atlanta; 6
from Macon; 5 from Sharon; 3 from Athens; 3
from Washington; 2 from Columbus; J from
Milledgevilie; 1 from Sparta, and 1 fro *
Darien.
Five boys were baptized during tin* year. 43
were confirmed, and 17 made their first cont
muniou.
Owing to the continued drought, efforts to
make the farm a source of revenue resulted in
failure. Where ten bales of cot* n were made
last season only three were raised this year.
The same ratio may be applied to the other
crops.
But the failure of the crops was move than
compensated for by the bequest of the late
Capt. John McMahon, of Savannah. The part
of tiiis bequest secured to the Male Orphanage
consists of a brick house in Savannah, valued
at about $5,000, which is well rented, and will
be the source of an annual income of about
S3OO.
The institution owes much to Mrs. C. Mc-
Mahon and Mrs. F. X. Douglass for this be
quest. I is well known that Capt. McMahon
died intestate, and they, as his legal heirs,
were not at all bound to apply any part of the
estate to charitable purposes. Acting, how
ever. upon what they believed to have been
his intention had lie been spared, they have
nobly aud generously done a deed that is at
once a bjessing to the orphan boys, an honor
to themselves, and that will cause the memory
of Capt. John McMahon to bo held in per
petual benediction.
It would he unjust to close this report with
out calling your attention and the attention
of all interested in the welfare of your M.-de
Orphanage to the work done in its behalf by
the lady collectors. Their labors have been
mentioned in former reports, and all that lias
been said of them in the past might with equal
truth be repeated here,but they deservesouie
thing more sub-tantial than mere words.
’ Christian women til l have proved them
selves as good and true as they have iu the
noblc cause of charity should be remembered,
and their names handed down to posterity,
when the selli-h and indifferent are forgot
ten. Il is proposed, therefore, to have their
names and their labors in behalf of the orphan
boys written in a book that shall be called
“The Annals of St. Joseph’ * Male Orphan
age.” These annals will be carefully pre
served and read to the orphan boys from time
to time each year, and tints they will be
taught to remember and pray for their bene
factors, not only for a month or a year, but as
long as tlic* institution itself slut! 1 last.
111 closing these remarks it ina* be said that
the orphan boys and those iu charge of the in
stitution sincerely wish to assure all their
benefactors that tliev are gratefu lv remem
bered before tlic mercy seat of God, that lie
may repay them a hundred fold for their
charily arid generosity toward them. For ail
the benefactors who have died during the past
year the Holy Sacrifice lias been offered, and
all the masses and prayers promised on the
cards of membership have been faithfully said.
The same are promised for next year, that God
in His mercy may bless each anti all in ties
life and admit them hereafter to eternal hap
piness.
The following statement of the financial af
fairs of the Orphanage is full and complete,
and accounts for every dollar received lor its
support during the year. It may be well to
add that, except a few donations of sweet
meats at Christmas, nothing lias been re
ceived that is not accounted for below.

ON THE RIO GRANDE.
A Town Like an Anfc- Hill—Unchanged
for Three Centuries.
• .- • n >. n e ■7. f< ago Kiws.
Outside of its commercial interest Wal
lace is a place which all visitors to New
Mexico should stop at. It is within a
mile walk of the pueblo of Santo Domingo,
one of the largest and decidedly one oi the
most interesting of all the Italian
which are found to-day scattered over the
Valley of the Rio Grande. YYho the fore
fathers are of these Pueblo Indians is a
question and a problem that has never
yet been satisfactorily solved. Frank
Gushing, living among the Zuni—
who are a people of apparently the
same race as the inhabitants of
Santo Domingo and Taos—is doing his
best to unravel the mystery that has hung
about the pueblos since they were dis
covered by the Spaniards in 1540; hut
whether Cushing will find that Indian
mythology discloses the secrets ot the
past or not remains to be seen. Coronado,
of Spain, found Sauto Domingo aud its
neighbors looking about as they do to-day,
and the visit ol the Spaniard was made
more than 300 years ago. Before his
arrival no one can tell Yvhat changes, if
any, had taken place at the oddly built
town. But since 1540, as one may
see by reading the accounts of the in
vader’s march, there has been nothing
doue at the villages to alter in any way
the old order of things in general. The
ravages of time have caused the simple
hougj Sol the simple people to seem more
auduioH-a part of the ground upon which
they stand, no doubt, and with the pass
ing of the years old roots have rotted away
and ancient ladders have fallen to pieces.
But the town as a Yvhoie looks to-day
about as it did centuries ago. and a hun
dred years from now it will not have
greatly changed, judging from the past,
unless the ruthless wonder of the present
time, the American, lays his vandal
hands upon the ancient dwellings.
The first glimpse one has of Santo Do
mingo gives the impression that the vil
lage is the abode of some mighty ants
who have erected for themselves houses to
live in. Every abode is made ol adobe,
and in many instances one house is built
on top ol the other, much as a child would
place his blocks together. Where the
houses are so piled into a confused mass
there are long ladders reaching to each
roof, and thence through trap doors into
the interior, but the majority of people
have cut doorways in tue sides of their
houses, and even have gone so far as to
cut windows, too. It is a lavorite amuse
ment of all having such homes to sit
in the open doorway, and pass the
compliments of the day to all who
may happen to pass along the street.
Those who have no side doors sit upon
their house tops, and from there call forth
their various salutations. It can hardly
be said, although I used the word, that
this pUeblo has any streets. There are
spaces between the houses to be sure,
but they are narrow ones, and as crooked
as those of the north end of classic Bos
ton. There is only one open space of any
consequence, and that is the plaza or
public square, across which hurry those
quaintly dressed, and quite as often un
dressed people who make the old town
theirhome. An artist will find at Santo
Domingo enough curious contrasts to
keep-his pencil and brush in use for many
a day. Diuk, swarthy faces; long, coarse
hair, invariably Worn with a pronounced
Langtry bang; rows of white teeth,
set in large, lull-lipped mouths; magni
ficent, Juno-like eves, laughing or serious
as it happens; lull-rounded busts among
the women and broad chests among the
men; dirty, careless, good natured, ready
to sell an earring or a bracelet or a bit of
topaz. These are the sights and these
are the people that one sees about town,
down by the river and on the housetops.
With wants that are as simple as those
of a child, the inhabitants of Santo Do
mingo are nevertheless, well to do, and
their farms are among the largest and
best in the Rio Grande valley. Not at all
versed in manufacturing, themselves,
they irade once a year with the Navajos
and’ the Zuni for the blankets and the
trinkets which the latter make, aud give
in exchange the fruits aud corn and sheep
which they have raised.
A girl of Santo Domingo, a real first
class, able-bodied, nice girl, is as pretty
as a picture. Brown as a berry; eyes
dark and languid, hands and feet small;
ankle well-shaped and liberally-displayed;
shoulder round and peeping out* of the
calico waist that ends just below the arm;
pearly teeth, black hair, pretty laugh,
saucy, flirty, and yet demure. Where is
the man that would not fall in love for
half an hour, or until that time at least
when he noticed that bis adored one
wore no shoes; that her dress was
soiled; that she couldn’t write; that
she had to work; and that she was an
Indian squaw? Ah, well, Pocahontas
isn’t dead yet, by any means. And—
coining back to the girl, and not thinking’
other few imperfections noted above—see
how gracefully she carries her earthen
water jar full of water on her head; see
how strong she is, how easily she carries
her burden that would make us stoop.
She is a modern Rebecca at the well, and,
like her model, she lives in a hot country,
and she wears few clothes, and she loves
to linger and to gossip.
The Road to Riches.
One day a few days ago one of the rich
est men in Chicago was asked for a pri
vate interview by a Wall Street News re
porter, who explained:
“You are very rich. You have had
wonderful luck. Tell me what to specu
late in that I may make money.”
“Never speculate at all,” was the se;
rious answer.
“But you have made money in railroad
stocks, wheat, silver mines, canal
stocks, etc.”
“Not a dollar, young man! In fact,
that’s the way I’ve lost thousands.”
“YVhy, then, how have you made your
wealth?”
“By inventing a spring bed and patent
ing a boot jack. Let all speculation
alone, and turn your attention to the solid
wants of the people.”

LIFE IN THE METIIOFOLIS.
Foreign Opinion of Gen. Grant—New
Yorker# and t?ae Ball—Notes on Other
Interesting Topics.
Corresimndence of the Morning .Vmm.
New York, May 29.— “1t makes me
sick,” said the correspondent of the Co
penhagen National-tidende to me the other
day, using “sick" in the sense of nausea,
which Mrs. Langtry says is its true signi
fication, “to have to write to my paper the
outcome of the Grant-Ward correspond
ence. Everybody has heard of Geu. Grant
over there, and they regard him as a great
soldier, and have a high opinion of him
generally. Now, if I tell them that he is
either a knave or a fool, and perhaps a
compound of both, they will regard us as
a nation of scalawags. They already
think badly of our mode of doing business,
and if they find him, whom they consider
the foremost man in the country, to be no
better, or rather worse, than the rest, they
will deem nothing too bad to believe about
us. I hate to villify my adopted country,
but news is news,” and the representative
of the vikings prepared to set forth in
Danish the history of Wall street for the
previous week.
If anything were lacking to convince
the admirers of Gen. Grant that their
idol was of clay, it has been supplied.
My Danish friend is right, there is but
one view to be taken of the Grant-Fish
correspondence. Grant’s reputation
hangs on the two horns of a dilemma. He
is either a knave or little better than a
fool. Such, at any rate, is the opinion of
all but the most hide-bound partisans,
although prudential considerations may
prevent many who so think from express
ing their sentiments. Republicans, in
deed, cannot very well proclaim a man a
cheat or a dolt whom they have twice
elected President.
I have heard another alternative sug
gested, which, however, does not clear
Gen. Grant’s skirts, but rather touls
them more. It is that he and Ward were
justified in promising fabulous gains to
those who invested in their enterprises by
, the existence of a ring which is still
robbing the government at a rate that
r mere than rivals the efforts of the star
routers and whisky ring thieves! The
existence of such a ring may be palpably
out of the question. I only give you the
suggestion for what it is worth.
Westward with the star of empire the
politicians are taking their way. To-day
the committee of one hundred business
men who are to urge the claims of Presi
dent Arthur at Chicago take their de
parture. and “Johnnie” O’Brien and “the
boys” follow on Saturday in a special
train, consisting of seven palace coaches,
while between now and Sunday the other
Republican statesmen, who are to take
part in one way or another in the delibe
rations which are to save the nation, w ill
start on their journey. Already many
have gone.
Judging, however, from the crow T ds
which witnessed every game the past
week, New Yorkers are more interested in
base ball than in politics. As many as
7,500 people saw the first, game between
the Boston and New York clubs last
Thursday, 2,000 of whom were women,
who sat shimmering in silk and satin and
glittering with diamonds. The carriages
in whicli they came, blocked the street on
one side of t he PclG grounds for - distance
of two blocks. The greater part of the
men who attended were also well dressed
and appeared to belong to a class ordi
narily not addicted to “sporting.” On
Friday 5,000 persons saw the second game
between the same clubs, but on Saturday
the attendance fell off to 2,000, as the game
between the Providence and New York
clubs was a foregone conclusion. For the
same reason there were but 3,000 present
on Monday, but 5,000 on Tuesday saw the
Boston club beat the New York for thq
first time. An aggregate of 22,500 per
sons, at 50 cents ahead for five games,
certainly makes a good average.
PUNCH’S OLI> JOKE ABOUT TYING RAIL
WAY DIRECTORS
to locomotives in order to ensure trains
from running off the track finds continual
reason for repetition in New York. Resi
dents along Riverside drive, in the neigh
borhood of Eighty-eighth street, for ex
ample, bless the day and the hour when
Gen. Viele was appointed Park Commis
sioner. Up to the time of bis appoint
ment Riverside Park was allowed to run
wild its entire distance from Seventy
second street to One-hundred-and-twenty
fiftli street. No sooner did he become
Commissioner than Gen. Yiele had plans
prepared lor the laying out of the park
its entire length. The only part of the
park, however, which has been laid out is
in the vicinity of Eighty-eighth street.
There, for a considerable distance, wind
ing walks, smooth lawns, carefully
trimmed shrubbery,well-pruned trees,aiid
beautiful beds of bright-colored flowers,
arc to be met with, while all the rest of the
park is still in a state of nature. Why is
this portion of the park thus laid out while
all the rest is neglected ? I don’t give tliis
as a cause, or even as a reason, but mere
ly as a coincidence —Gen. Yiele lives at
Eighty-eighth street and Riverside drive,
o| posite Riverside Park! The moral is
obvious. Let the Mayor appoint, in turn,
as Park Commissioners residents in River
side drive from Seventy-second to One
hundred-and-twentv-fifth’ street, and in
the course of time all Riverside Park will
bo made to blossom as the'rose!
The Board of Park Commissioners is an
anomalous institution in other respects.
Only the President is entitled to a salary,
the other three commissioners serving
nominally for nothing. The salary is
14,000. The Commissioners elect a. Presi
dent every three mouths, and as they elect
each other in turn, each thus receives
SI,OOO a quarter in the capacity of Presi
dent, and only works nine months without
pay. Commissioner Criinmons, however,
is practically getting much more than a
paltry thousand dollars a year for taking
care of the city’s park. He is one
of the largest building contractors in New
York, and, until he became Park Commis
sioner, was obliged to spend thousands of
dollars a year in dumping far out to sea
the earth his men removed from the cel
lars of the houses which they built for
him. On his becoming a Park Commis
sioner, by a coincidence similar to that
which causes Riverside Park, opposite
Gen. Viele’s house, to be improved at the
expense of the remainder, it was dis
covered that certain gullies in Central
Park needed filling up, and for this earth
was necessary. With a generosity that
is only found to perfection in a New York
public official, Commissioner Crimmons
offered to provide the earth which w'as
needed free, gratis, for nothing! How
much he will save by this arrangement I
do not know, but it.cannot fail to be a
large sura, for it is a costly business cart
ing earth to scows and casting it in the
depths of the sea miles from the coast.
THE FIRST REQUISITE IN A POLICEMAN
is a knowledge of local geography. At
his examination he is supposed to be call
ed upon to give the locality not only of
the principal thoroughfares, but of the
most out-of-the-way streets. What a
farce this examination is is shown by an
incident which happened m Houston
street recently. A policeman, who was
appointed within a day or two of the pub
lication of the report of the Roosevelt
Committee, which set forth so plainly the
iniquitous manner in which appointments
to the force are made, came along with
liis new hat and club, which he had just
got at the central office, under his arm.
He evidently did not know where he was,
and when he reached Elizabeth street he
looked up and down that thoroughfare in
manifest perplexity. Finally he turned
to a group of young men who were enjoy
ing the spectacle of a policeman being
lost hardly more than a block from the
Police Central Office, and asked in a
strong brogue, “Will yer be after tellin’
me the way to the Third avenue?” His
request was, of course, complied with.
Think of a policeman not knowiug where
Third avenue is!
1 hear on good authority that Jay Gould
is of better family than the published ac
counts of him represent him to be. Al
though he began life poor, and is what is
called a self-made man, he is by no means
his ow n ancestor. The name is not Gould,
but Gold. Jay’s father is responsible for
the insertion of the “u” in the name. And
the family to which Jay Gould thus belongs
is one which had more than one represen
tative in public life in the early days of
the republic. Thomas Gold Appleton, the
wit and literateur, who died recently, in
herited his wit and conversationalist
talent from his mother, who was a Gold.
Had Mr. Appleton known that he was
connected, although distantly, with Jay
Gould, he would doubtless have given
utterance to an epigram more pungent, if
not more witty, than those which made
him famous. Mr. Appleton, by the way,
was the originator of the jiroverb, “Good
Americans when they die go to Paris.”

I SOME TALL SN AKE STORIES.
Monstrous Serpents Found Among the
Limestone Ledges of Alford.
Boston Globe.
The campaign against the black snakes
usually opens in Alford May 1, provided
the weather is warm w ith a bright sun
shine, in which the serpeuts delight to
bask after lying stupid iu their holes
amid the rock through the long winter.
The township before its occupation by
the white inhabitants was called by the
Indians Shawenon, and was purchased
by John Hamlin aud others .of Joseph
Quinefuant and Shananun, two chiefs of
the Stockbridge tribe, in October, 1756 for
less than SIOO and a tew gallons of New
England rum. The locality wtiere the
snakes Abound is on the Greenland
grant, a tract of wood laud and valley
comprising 1.000 acres, which the Great
and General Court of this Commonwealth
granted to that great land grasper and
speculator. David Ingersoll, Esq., July
11, 1756. From those days to the present
every effort has been made by hunters to
exterminate the serpents, but without
avail, aud they are found as large and as
numerous to-day as they were 130 years
ago. To hunt them suecesslully one
should go armed either with a shotgun or
with a dog and club; but the adventurous
hunter should never go without a large
knife, for the mode of attack by these
snakes is to wind around its victim and
choke it to death, the final act of the
reptile being to thrust its slimy head and
glaring eyeballs into the panting mouth
of its victim, who soon dies by strangula
tion.
Thus tar since the season opened one
family has killed thirty of these snakes,
and seventy in all have been slain, the
most of them being from five to six feet
in length, and several from eight to ten
feet and as large aroiAi a<> a man’s arm.
During the heat of tht day, w hen the
snakes are very lively, if they chance to
see the hunter approaching, they will
enter their holes, from which they keep a
sharp lookout by peeking upwards every
few moments; and on one occasion not
long ago five were discovered looking out
of one hole, from which they kept up .a
continual hiss, while their forked tongues
gues played back and forth like so many
knitting-needles. Less than ten years
ago a hunter named Chaplin, while out
gunning for wildcats on the mountain
side, shot one of these snakes, whose
exact measurement was tfwelve feet.
The serpent was taken to the settlement
below, where persons are now living that
can testify to the length. There is known
to be one old snake in the colony which
exceeds all others in length and circum
ference, which is seen several times every
summer, but never disturbed, as his
appearance is enough to appall ttoe
stoutest hearts, and cause a eh 11 of hor
ror to run through the body of the bravest
hunter. Already this season his snake
ship has been ’ seen by a man of the
neighborhood, who, being unarmed, cau
tiously passed one side without daring
to give battle. Since then an old lady
has seen what is supposed to be the same
serpent or else its mate. The snakes are
the most vicious while shedding their
hides, which is.done about the middle ol
May. At such times if disturbed they
will fight desperately, and, with eyes
flashing like fire and' tongue extended,
they Spring upon their adversary and
make every effort to overcome him.
About the first of June these hides are
found among the ledges, and if taken
before they have lain soo long in the sun
and rain, can be used by the farmers the
same as eel skins in tying the swingle of
a flail to the staff. On one occasion, some
three weeks ago, while a man of the town
was out gathering roots for medicinal pur
poses, he laid his coat and shovel on the
ground and wandered off some distance
into the woods in search of slippery elm.
While he was gone a neighbor who re
sides on these enchanted grounds killed
five of the black snakes, which he laid
around the coat and extended one big
fellow the entire length of the shovel
handle. He then secreted himself in the
bushes to watch the proceedings which
were expected to follow. In some fifteen
minutes the herb and root, gatherer re
turned, hut by the time he had arrived
within a rod of the spot he saw the
snakes, and supposing they were alive,
he procured a large stick and advanced
upon them, striking them on the head,
right and left. Great was his chagrin,
however, when he discovered that they
were all dead and that a huge joke had
been perpetrated upon him. He en
deavored to keep the thing a secret, but
the other man leaked it out, and now the
laugh goes round the town, while the
root gatherer goes by the name of “Snake
Charmer.”
NOT THAT KIND OF A MAN.
An Incident of the Republican Conven
tion in 1880.
Given Campbell and several other
gentlemen, says the St. Louis Republican,
were discussing the chances of the vari
ous nominees at the Chicago Republican
Convention the other evenihg when Mr.
Campbell related the following incident:
“1 was sitting in the Planters’ House
restaurant with Dave Armstrong when
the nominations were being made at Chi
cago in 1880. We were receiving bulle
tins of Conkling’s great speech, nomi
nating Grant. Isaid: ‘Dave, the great
est moment in Grant’s life has arrived.
When Conkling gets through speaking
let Grant hand a letter to a delegate from
the Galena district, stating that he
(Grant) has been twice rewarded with
the highest gift in the hands of his coun
trymen, and that his ambition is satisfied.
That he will never permit ills name to
be used as a lever to break down a time
honored precedent, which is a safeguard
to liberty. If he will do that he will be
worshiped by all Americans and every
body will swear that he could have had
the nomination it he wanted it. I pro
ceeded in this strain and was growing
grandiloquent when Dave interrupted me
with his quaint accent, saying: ‘My dear
boy, that ain’t the kind of a ha’rpiu old
Grant is.’ I collapsed.”
RICH SILVER DISCOVERIES.
The Rabbit Mountain Mine, North of
Lake Superior, Said to Produce the
Riciiest Ore in the World.
Intense excitement has been occa
sioned, says a Winnipeg, Man., special to
the Chicago Tribune, by the discovery of
very rich silver ore in the Rabbit Moun
tain Mine, north of Lake Superior. From
time to time rich strikes have been re
ported, and there is no doubt that these
mines are the richest in the world. Ten
tons of quartz were shipped to a miil at
Newark, N. J., and yielded $5,000 per ton.
The shaft is down thirty feet, and the
Superintendent says they have struck
almost solid silver. Dr. Jacobs, of Madi
son, Wis., and W. G. Collins, Superin
tendent of the La Crosse and Wisconsin
Valley Division of the Chicago, Milwau
kee and St. Paul,left here this morning for
the mines. Mr. Collins represents the
estate of the late H. C. Atkins, ef the St.
Paul Road, who was largely interested in
the Rabbit Mountain. Dr. Jacobs was
through the California gold excitement.
He says the specimens of Rabbit Moun
tain ore shown him are marvelously rich,
but thinks the vein will not hold out long.
He will make a thorough examination of
the miue. Forty tons of rock have been
taken to the top of the shaft, which will
yield $3,000 per ton. The existence of the
Rabbit Mountain Mine was disclosed
years ago to Oliver Dounais, a half-breed,
by Indians.
Mrs. Cox’s Washington Home.
Washington Letter.
The new house purchased a year ago by
the wife of Representative *S. S. Cox’,
on Dupont Circle, has one of the most
charming situations and picturesque in
teriors of any dwelling in Washington. It
has a front of rock-faced green stone and
a little covered porch as an approach to
the front door. On the left of the entrance
is a small, irregularly shaped room,
which Mr. Cox uses as his study, which
is prettily fitted up, mostly with antique
furniture. This is a corner room, the
house being at the southern end of a row
of three houses built in the same style. A
great deal of the furniture in each of the
rooms are souvenirs of travel or pieces
with an interesting history. In Mr. Cox’s
study is a very old English chair, uphol
stered in genuine old stamped and
bronzed leather, the wood being of carved
oak. The pictures in the study are all
scenes from the Alhambra. In the win
dow seat in this room, among other
plants, the favorite one of Mr. and Mrs.
Cox is a real Irish shamrock, growing in
a pot of peat brought from the Giant’s
Causeway. The platform staircase,
which is in the centre of the house op
posite the library, has side windows so
arranged as to throw the light on a very
large oil painting’ which hangs over the
first landing ana faces the library. This
is an excellent copy made for Mr. Cox
fiiteen years ago of Murillo’s “Immaeu
' late Conception.” It is so large that it
j was never hung until Mr. Cox moved into
i his Washington home.
A MODEL OF BLAINE’S HEAD.
Sculptor Herb Tuts a Look of Hope
Upon (he Features of the Maine States
man,
The drab blouse of Hugo Herb, the
sculptor, says the New York Herald of the
25th inst., brushed against a pile of blue
clay in the summer garden of the Euen
Ilusee yesterday afternoon, and a large
audience appiauded as he began his work
of modeling the bust ot a leading Presi
dential candidate. None knew who the
bust was to represent, and there was
great excitement among the spectators.
The sculptor seized a big chunk of the
clay aud thrust it on top of an upright
stick.
“That’s Holman’s face,” said an old
lady looking at the rough mass.
Then Mr. Herb piled clay around and
under and on top of the lump until the
basis for a head, neck and breast was
formed. With a single sweep of his
thumbs Mr. Herb scooped out the clay
from where the eyes were to be and made
a pair of ears. Then followed the nose,
chm and hair in rapid succession. The
sculptor picked up a little iron" instru
ment and with a few strokes formed a
coat front, shirt front, collar and necktie.
He threw lumps of clay against the chin
and a beard began to appear.
“It’s Guitean,” shouted a boy.
“No, it’s Blaine,” said a young man.
“So it is,” added The young man’s lady
companion, “but there’s something wrong
about the expression.”
A PUZZLED ARTIST.
Mr. Herb soon fashioned the face until
it was recognized by everybody as that of
James G. Blaine. But the artist glanced
at the photograph from which he was
working, and did not seem satisfied. The
expression of the face was one of despair.
He changed it to one of disgust, but still
he toyed with the clay unsatisfied. Then
a look of dismay beamed from the blue
features, but Mr. Herb was still unde
cided. He made heavy Hues under the
eyes, and caused the eyelids to overhang
until the Maine statesman’s facial peculi
arities caused a laugh. Every one could
see that the sculptor was trying to
catch the sentiment of the photograph.
Finally be knit his brows and went to
work with great earnestness. The nose
was enlarged, the mouth opened slightly,
the lines at the nose deepened, and, as a
look of hope appeared upon the inanimate
face, Mr. Herb bowed and retired amid a
burst of applause. He had been at work
just a half hour. * 4
“Why, he hasn’t put any tattoo marks
on the taee,” said a little girl to her moth
er. “I thought Mr. Blaine was tattooed
like the man in Baruum’s.”
“Hush, my child,” said the lady, “you
should not speak of such things. No one
can see the tattoo marks on ilr. Blaine.
They are on his character, not on his
body.”
