PANICS OK THE PAST.
\ History of the Financial Convulsions
of 1837 and 1873.
The panic of 1857, says the Boston
Herald, was phenomenal In the circum
stance that it is the only one which ever
materially affected foreign Eurr*i>eaii
markets. It was phenomena! also in its :
suddenness, and in finding the business of
the country totally unprepared for it. It
appears that up to August of that year
our commercial affairs were generally i
prosperous. The local journals through
out the country represented business as
in a healthy condition. High prices wore j
said to have enriched the fanner, the
stock-raiser and the planter. Trade and
mechanical industry flourished with cor
responding success.
‘•ln estimating probabilities for the fu
ture,” says J. S. Gibbons in bis account
of that event, “great stress was laid on
the fact that the madness of railroad
building was arrested. The bond market,
and with it improvement securities gen
erally. had fallen into disrepute. Stock
companies could no longer send an agent
to Europe with five millions of credit
tokens and receive the money for them
within six tv days from the engraver’s
press. Heavy financial negotiations in
this direction were suspended, and al
country had several hundred
millions of foreign capital to use, there
was no danger of any considerable por
tion or jt being recalled since our home
market would reject the bonds which
represented it, at half the par cost. We
might therefore continue to enjoy the use
of this large capital and avoid the disaster
conseqU' nt on a further accumulation of
foreign debt. The common sentiment was
tiiat w e bad passed the dangerous point
in railway credits, and with the immense
product!, os of the year at our doors, there
was little probability ot serious financial
disturbance. The most sagacious of our
city bank officers saw no indications of
an unusual storm in the commercial skies.
When the loans reached the unprecedented
height J $122,000,0000n the Bth of August,
they pointed to the annual reduction of
slo.u toy or $12,000,000 in the autumn
months, as one of the regular ebbs to
which the market was subject; but they
had no foresight of extraordinary pressure
and no dreams of panic. Credit was ex
tended. but ‘the country never w-as as
rich.’ ”
But the storm mp- coming. On the sth
ot August the banks began to contract
their loans, and, as a consequence, secu
rities immediately began to full in price
at the New York Stock Board. The failure
of a heavy produce house w as explained
by tin depression of that peculiar interest
in the market. A report ot dishonest job
bing and the misuse of funds by a leading
railway company caused partial excite
ment. but did not seriously disturb confi
dence in mercantile credit. The imme
diate cause of the panic, however, was
the suspension of the Ohio Lite Insurance
and Trust Company on August 24. It
came like a lightning stroke from an
almost clear sky. An intense excitement
was manifested' in all financial circles, in
which bank officers, says Gibbons, parti
cipated with unusual sensitiveness and
want of self-possession. Flying rumors
were ex aggerated at every corner. The
holders of stock and of commercial paper
hurried to the broker and were eager to
make what a week before they would
have shunned as a ruinous sacrifice.
Several stock an l money brokers failed,
ami the daily meetings of the New York
and Boston Brokers’ Boards—the former
especially—were characterized by intense
excitement. Every individual misfortune
was vnnounced on' the news bulletins in
large letters and attracted curious crowds,
which wore fed from the passing throngs.
The N \v York Clearing House report for
the 29th of August—the first, afttr the
suspension of the Ohio Life Insurance
and Trust Company—showed a reduction
of $1.000,00 1 ) in the bank loans during the
previous week. The most substantial
securities ol the market fell rapidly in
price at public sale. The safety of bank
notes in circulation was suspected or
denied. The publishers of counterfeit de
tectors spread alarm among the shop
keepers and workingmen by selling hand
bills w ith lists of broken banks, w hich
were cried in the streets by boys at “a
penny apiece.”
tine o! the New York associated banks
fell into default at the eml of August and
a fraud of $70,000 by the paying-teller
roused suspicion of similar misconduct
in other institutions. The regular dis
count of bills by the banks had mostly
been suspended, and the street rates for
money, even on unquestionable securi
ties. rose to 3, 4 and 5 per cent, a month.
On the o. linary securities of merchants—
such as promissory notes and bills of ex
change—money was not to be had at any
rate. House after house of high com
mercial repute succumbed to the panic,
and several neavy banking firms were
added to the list of failures.
The settlements of the clearing house
in New York were watched with the ex
pectation ot new defaults, and their suc
cessful accomplishment, each day, was a
subject of mutual congratulation among
I ink officers. The statement of the New
York city banks for the week ending Sep
tember 5 showed a further reduction in
loans of more than $4,000,000. Commer
cial embarrassments and suspentious be
came the chief staple of news in all the
papers of town and country. The pur
chase and transportation of produce almost
entirely ceased.
From this period there was nothing
lacking to aggravate eomnion distress for
money. The failure of the Bank of Penn
sylvania. in Philadelphia, was followed
by that of the other banks of that city,
aiid by those of Baltimore and of the
Southern Atlantic States generally. Com
mercial business everywhere w ! as sus
pended. The avalanehe’of discredit swept
down merchants, bankers, moneyed cor
porations asd manufacturing companies
w ithout uist notion. Old houses of accu
mulated capital which had withstood the
violence of all former panics, were pros
trated in a day, and when they believed
themselves to be perfectly safe against
misfortune. The suspension of the New
York banks and the banks in Boston and
throughout New England, which occurred
in the midst of October, was the climax
of this vcmniercial hurricane.
Early in September, 1873, damaging ru
mors began to be circulated in Wall street
concerning firms of special prominence,
and on the morning of the 18th it was
whispered that strange happenings would
take place before nightfall. The stock
market had opened weak, operators were
not reassureu by the flying reports, and
though the Vanderbilt' party did their
lest to ward off the desperate blows
which the bears were dealing at the
market, their strength weakened every
moment, and at 11 o’clock the exchange
was seized by a wild panic. Stocks tum
bled 8 and 4 per cent, with surprising
rapidity, and Western Union fell off 10
per cent, in as many moments. At 12:10
o'clock the crier of the Exchange rapped
for attention, and, while the crowd lis
tened latently, he read in a calm and de
liberate voice a brief announcement that
the firm of Jay Cooke & Cos. had sus
pended. For the'instant there was intense
stillness, and then the crowd broke madly
for the street to learn the particulars of
the failure. The news spread like wild
fire; within a few moments a mob sur
rounded the office of Cooke & Cos., on the
corner of Wall and Nassau streets, and a
squad of police was called to clear the
thoroughfare.
For some time past the Philadelphia
house of Jay Cooke & Cos. had been ad
vancing large sums to the Northern Pa
cific and the Texas and Pacfie Railroads,
ol which they were financial agents.
I Hiring the last three months the bonds of
the roads had been a drug on the market.
and within the last few weeks, owing to
the action ol the Holland stockholders of
the former road, it had been considered
doubtful whether or not Jay Cooke could
weather the storm produced by the In
dorsement of the bonds which could not
be disposed of.
The first blow fell when, on the Monday
preceding the iailure, a large amount of
this indorsed paper came due at Philadel
phia. The house was unable to
make payment, and sent to New York for
funds. Next day a further demand for
$500,000 was made, and on the day of the
suspension the New York house received
a dispatch asking them “for God’s sake”
to convert every available security into
money. This was done, and it" was
thought that thehouse could pull through.
Not many hours later, however, another
demand was made from Philadelphia, but
it was 6oon learned that the great banking
house had reached the end of its reserve.
It was then, on consultation, that the
members ol the New York firm decided to
suspend.
After the members of the Stock Ex
change—driven from the rooms by the
tidings of the failure—had gleaned what
news they could upon the street, they
rushed back to the Exchange, where
brokers vainly strove, with terrible en
ergy, to save their fortunes or ruin their
neighbors. At 2 o’clock the crier rose,
the babel ceased and the announcement of
Kobinson. Suydam & Co.’s suspension was
read. Two hours later the crier announced
that Richard Schell could not meet his
liabilities. Excitement increased among
the maddened operators, and though the
gong sounded and the close of business
was announced, the brokers would not
leave the crowded Exchange until they
were driven from its doors by the employes
of the place.
Tne news of the trouble soon reached
the national capital, and the Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr. lilchardson,decided not
to accept any bids for gold during the
day, in order to prevent the further ac
cumulation of currency in the vaults.
News had come, meantime, of the sus
iiension of sixheavy Philadelphia houses,
but it wa6 announced from Washington
that a feeling of greater security pre
vailed, notwithstanding the failure of two
banks on the previous day. At midnight
Secretary Richardson announced that he
would afford relief on the morrow by buy
ing $10,000,000 of bonds.
The following Sunday was anything but
a dav of rest. President Grant, with Sec
retary Richardson and other high officials
of the government, were in conference
at the Filth Avenue Hotel, in the morn
ing. and at noon were ready to hear sug
gestions from prominent financiers who
called, among them Commodore Vander
bilt, William B. Claflin, Henry Clews,
William Orton and Gen. E. S. Sanford.
Various propositions were offered by these
gentlemen, among them one that the gov
ernment should, if necessary, place the
whole legal reserve ol $14,000,000 in the
New York city banks.
Secretary llichardsnn laconically re
plied: “This, gentlemen, is not my fu
neral.”
After a time Commodore Vanderbilt
proposed that the government place
$30,000,000 of the reserve in the New
York banks, to which he agreed to add
$10,000,000. But neither the President nor
the Secretary was disposed to have the
Commodore enter into business with the
government, and all the propositions were
declined.
As the day passed ugly rumors were set
afloat, but nothing of new and great im
portance could be positively learned.
Savings banks prepared for a run, and
decided to require the thirty days’ notice
previous to payment. Jay Gould advised
the general suspension of the banks as
the only safety for the mercantile com
munity and the public. News came of a
few suspensions in the West and South,
but they were not of special significance.
Monday was a day of comparative
calmness, and the governing Committee
of the Stock Exchange decided not to
open on the following day, in order to
keep down prices and reduce all stock
transactions, thus permittifig further time
to the banks. The bonds bought by the
Secretary of the Treasury footed up
$3,.">00,000 for the day, and confidence
seemed to be greatly improved. Secretary
Richardson regarded the outlook as more
promising, and spoke reassuringly to
scores of interviewers, insisting, how
ever, that the government could not le
gally draw upon the legal tender reserve
of $44,000,000 with an existing cutrencv
balance of $14,000,000.
The next day—Tuesday, the 23d—
brought a setback. Soon after noon the
announcement was made that Henry
Clews & Cos. had suspended payment,
having paid out within the few days pre
ceding more than $1,200,000. This suspen
sion, creating almost as much excitement
as that of Jay Cooke & Cos., was followed
by the collapse of several other houses,
while news from other cities of the coun
try was far from reassuring. Up to date
the bonds purchased by the Secretary
amounted to $12,000,000. During the next
two days rumors of many stupendous
frauds in Wall street were circulated.
Howes & Maey, Brown & Watson Bros.,
and several smaller houses went under,
an extra session of Congress was urged,
steamship companies and railroads suf
fered for freight, and news came that
Western ami Southern merchants were
seriously affected. It was thought, how
ever. tiiat the fury of the storm was
passed, and that the New York banks
would be able to breast it. Matters were
at a complete standstill, and the govern
ment decided to buy no more bonds, the
purchase having reached $13,000,000. The
following day saw the resumption of Hen
ry Clews & Cos. and Howes & Maey, and
it was declared that Fisk, Hatch & Cos.
would resume within a short time. Bank
suspensions continued in the West and
South, word came that the Bank of Eng
land was about to shut down on the out
flow of specie by raising its rate, and the
United States Government continued to
decline granting further aid.
The administration, however, suddenly
reversed its decision on the following Sun
day, being pressed by appeals from thou
sands of business men, and decided, after
a Cabinet conference, to furnish gold ior
the relief of the foteign exchange market
by anticipating the payment, with rebate
ai the rate of 0 per cent, ot ilie November
interest on t he 5-20 bonds. The 2!)th brought
reassuring news from all quarters, and
the Assistant Treasurer at New York
telegraphed to Washington tiiat the worst
was over, while the foreign exchange
market showed steady improvement, and
the export trade promised to go on as
usual. The next few days saw returning
confidence, though failures continued to
be announced here and there throughout
the country.
On the morning of the 30th the New
York Stock Exchange was opened, and
the news of the day was encouraging. The
volume of business was not large, but all
signs were good, and a steady restoration
of confidence was perceptible. It was
decided at Washington to take one more
step and grant the application of the Na
tional banks to anticipate the interest on.
the registered bonds held in trust by the
government, thus freeing $3,000,000 more
of coin. The crisis had passed. Various
crippled firms suspended soon after stock
operations were resumed, and Wall street
was feverish for many weeks that fol
lowed, but the great panic of 1873 was
practically ended on the 30th day of Sep
tember.
They Did Not Appreciate It.
Musical Herald.
With several musical friends Slg. Osti
nelli was out on a little tour giving musi
cal entertainments. They accepted an
invitation to visit a village, where they
were told they would find people of taste
and education who would appreciate their
performance aud patronize them well.
They went, but found a small audience.
Not disheartened, they determined to win
golden applause by astonishing a few, if
nothing more. All their efforts seemed in
vain. Not a clap nor a stamp of applause
was elicited, but all were as still and
demure as if at a luneial or a Quaker
meeting. At last Ostinelli said: “Wait
a leetle, I give dem de grand solo.” He
presented himself before them violin in
hand, expecting to receive that applause
which always greeted bis appearance on
such occasions. He flourished his bow
and ran his fingers with astonishing
velocity all over" the finger board. He
sawed and sawed away, getting more and
more excited, until he played as if the
very genius of inspiration ’ had settled
upon him. He fairly outdid himself in
the opinion of his musical companions.
But it was all to no purpose—the audience
sat unmoved and silent, as If waiting for
something, not receiving. The fantasia
which he was playing ended with an
exquisite finale. He bowed and bowed,
and was moving off the stage when one of
the audience called out: “Look-a-here,
neow, you’ve been tuning your darned old
fiddle about long enough; can’t you give
us a tune neow ?"

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE B, 1884.
THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
The Great Panic of 1883 and Its Effect
on the Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street—ltaffV Note Forgeries.
The excitement in financial circles in
this city recently, says the New Y'ork
Commercial Advertiser , gives increasing
interest to the panics of the past not only
in this metropolis but in countries abroad.
There was a great panic in the Bank of
England in December, 1825, caused by the
redemption of interest on £215,000,000 of
stock held by the public. The Bank of
England was acting as banker for the
nation, and offered to advance money to
the holders of stock to pay off their prin
cipal investment. This was an era of
speculation, aad no less than £372,000,000,
or over $1,800,000,000, was invested in all
kinds ef “ bogus ” stock projects. In
some of these schemes shares of £IOO, on
which only £5 had been paid, rose to a
premium of £4O. yielding a profit of eight
times the amount of money paid. Every
thing went merry as a marriage bell for a
time, and large sums had been withdrawn
from the Bank of England, reducing the
gold in its vaults from £8,750,000 in Oc
tober, 1824, to £3,624,320 in February,
1825.
The panic began on the sth of December,
1825, when a London bank failed, at which
the agency of over forty country banks
was transacted, and such a reaction was
the necessary result of the previous mad
ness of speculation. Lombard street and
the vicinity of the bank were filled with
excited men and women, some frightened
out of their wits, others raving like
maniacs. The scenes witnessed in New
York’s financial centre the past week
were of a similar nature. The thousands
of excited people were waiting eagerly to
withdraw their investments. Next day
several other banks failed. The rush on
the Bank of England was terrific, but the
eleiKs kepi pay Ing away Hie gold in bags
containing twenty-five sovereigns each.
From 9 o’clock a." m. until sp. m., each
day, twenty-five clerks were engaged
counting out gold, and as it would take
that number of clerks to count out £50,000
in sovereigns, if counted by hand, a plan
was adopted by which the tellers counted
twenty-live sovereigns into one scale and
twenty-five into another, and if the scales
| balanced they continued until there were
I 200 sovereigns in each scale. In this
wav £I,OOO were paid out in a few min
ute’s. the weight of 1,000 sovereigns being
21 pounds, while 512 bank notes only
weigh 1 pound. In this way £317,000 in
goid was paid out in nine hours to clamor-
ous depositors.
instead of contracting their issues the
directors of the bank boldly extended
them. In one day they discounted 4,200
bills. On December 8 thediscounts at the
bank amounted to £7,500,000: on the 15th
they were £11,500,000, and on the 29th
£15,000,000. December 3 the circulation
of the bank was £17,500,000, and on the
dav licfore Christmas. December 24. it
was £25,500,000, or the enormous sum of
$127,500,000. Any kind of paper that was
not absolutely worthless was discounted.
Tremendous advances on deposits of bills
of exchange were made by the bank, stock
was entered as security and exchequer
bills were purchased. The gallant old in
stitution weathered the storm, and on the
26th of December gold began to come in
slowly.
During the latter part of the panic week
a forgotten box ot £1 notes, containing
£700,000. was discovered, and these were
immediately issued, and the directors
acknowledged that the forgotten box saved
the commercial credit of the Bank of
England. There was only £601,000 in
bullion and £426,000 in coin when the great
rush stopped. In February, 1797, when
the bank suspended cash payments, there
was £1,080,170 in coin and bullion remain
ing in the vaults.
In old times a great many men were
hanged for forging Bank of England notes.
In one year it seems, about 1820, there
were over one hundred persons convicted
of forgery, and nearly nine hundred were
convicted oi having forged notes in their
pockets.
There are many citizens of New Y’ork—
though well advanced in years—who can
remember the time, the year 1818, when
twenty-four persons were hanged in one
year for forgeries on the bank. In the
year 1803 there was a great forgery com
mitted by a man named Astlett. who was
oue of the chief cashiers of tbe bank.
The amount was so large that it fright
ened ever} body. Astlett did this work so
well, by reissuing exchequer bills, that he
defrauded the bank out of £320,000 before
, the forgery was detected. One can im
agine the general consternation. The
old governor of the bank nearly went
mad.
The biggest forgery, however, was
Fauntleroy’s, in 1816, for £360.000. Faun
tleroy was the head partner in a bank in
Berners street, London, that had dealings
with the Bank of England. As the bank
that he belonged to was in a bad state,
Fauntleroy, in order to keep up its credit,
went to work and forged powers of attor
ney of a lot of wealthy depositors, and
sold out their tunds; yet, all the time he
was working in this way, he was paying
dividends to the men he was robbing. But
the crash came at la9t, and before the
police broke into Fauntleroy’s house they
found a note breathing defiance against
the bank for having refused to discount
his acceptances and having thus destroyed
the credit of his house. Fauntleroy was
hanged for his crime, and an eye-witness
remarks that all London was ‘present at
the execution.-
A New Peril at Sea.
Mr. H. C. Rotheiy, the
Wreck Commissioner, with asses
sors, says the London Standard,
held an inquiry into the foundering of the
Hornet, resulting in the loss of 17 lives.
The Hornet was an Iron steamer of 349
tons. She left Newport on the 24th of
January,with a crew ot 18 hands, all told,
for Marseilles, laden with coal. Accord
ing to the statement of Joseph Ellery, the
only survivor of the crew, she reached
Lundy Island at 2 a. m. on the 25th, at:d
later in the day a gale sprang up. At
5 a. m. the ship was 12 miles south of
Scilly, when a fireman went to the master
in the chart-room and asked him to put
back and send the second engineer ashore,
as he did not know his duty. Shortly
afterwards all the firemen came up, and
the master consented to go hack to Fal
mouth. AVhen off Lundy Island a fireman
reported that the pulsometer sea-cock
was open. The master went into the en
gine room. It was stated that the ballast
tank was then tilling, and that the en
gineer remarked that he knew nothing of
the pulsometer. The pumps were set
going, but in a very short time they were
choked, the water’ came over the stock
hole-plates, putting out the fires, and the
vessel began to till aft. At 9a.m. on the
27th a steamer hove in sight and bore
down, but when about 300 yards distant
three heavy seas broke over the vessel in
succession and took several of the crew
overboard. The ship then quivered and
sank, taking the rest of the crew down
with her. Ellery was subsequently
picked up by two men from the Bowes
field and was taken to Malta, and after
wards sent home. The Wreck Commis
sioner said the court were of opinion that
the loss was due to one of the sea-cocks
having been left open, most likely the pul
someter.
Buried Alive.
Chamber*' Journal.
A young officer returned from China re
lated, apropos of burying alive, the fol
lowing experience: ’ “On our passage
home,” he said, “we had in the transport
beside our our own troops a large draft
of French soldiers. Disease soon broke
out among the closely-packed men, and
deaths were of daily occurrence. The
French dealt summarily with their dead.
As soon as a poor fellow had breathed his
last, he was stripped, a 20-pound shot tied
to his heels, and his body thrust through
a ivirthole into the sea. John Bull’s
prejudices rebelled against such rapid 1
proceedings. AVhen we lost any of our ;
comrades they were allowed to be for
twelve hours covered with the Union
jack, and the burial service was read
over them before they were committed to
the deep. One day a French sergeant,
who had just fallen a victim to the pesti
lence, was brought up on deck in the
sheet in which he had died, to be thrown
overbord. The 20-pound shot had been ;
fastened to his feet and the sheet removed, |
when, in pushing him through the port- j
hole, he was caught by a protruding hook
or nail at the side, and stuck fast.
A few more vigorous thrusts sent the
body further through; aud in so doing the
flesh was torn by the hook, and blood be
gan to flow. The attention of the by
standers was attracted to this; and, more
over, they fancied they saw about the
corpse other startling symptoms. ‘The
man’s alive I’flew from mouth to mouth.
In an instant willing hands were pressing
eagerly to the rescue, and before the body
could touch the water it was caught and
brought up on deck. The French sergeant
was one of the soundest men on board of
I the transport ship when we landed.
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE
A Negro In Ohio who Claim* to Have
Lived Nearly a Century and a Half.
Situated on the highest point of land in
Clermont county. Ohio, says the Cincin
nati yeics-Journal, is the little town of
Mulberry, formerly known as Newberry.
The place is three miles east of Milford,
and is one of the oldest in the county.
Old “Uncle "John” Long, colored, who for
the past twenty years has lived in “Happy
Hollow,” is regarded as the oldest man in
the country, if not in the world. His
wife, Mary Long, died in 1879, aged 110
years, and he is thirty years older than
his wife, and is still living, which makes
him 145 years old. He has a grand
daughter now living at Newberry, whose
name is Mrs. Harriet Tally. -Uncle
John” was for 125 years a slave, but al
ways a house-servant in wealthy and
prominent families. He was in Alexan
dria, Ya., at the time Generals Braddock
and Washington passed through on their
way to the French and Indian war, and
this was in 1755. He remembers John
Randolph and his son Edmund, afterward
Governor of the State of Virginia, at his
master's house near Culpeper Court
House, Va. This was before the revolu
tion. He also remembers distinctly hav
ing often seen “Light Horse Harry” Lee
and Gen. Lafayette at the hospitable man
sion of his master, Maj. Gabe Long. He
moved to Christian county, Kentucky, in
the fall of 1796, at the time John Adams
was running on the Federal ticket against
Thomas Jefferson, anti-Federal. He was
married to his second wife, Mary White,
in the year 1797, his first wife having been
dead but two years. He lived with his
second wife eighty years, she dying in
June, 1879, aged 110 years, aud was buried
in Green Lawn Cemetery, at this place.
She often told her granddaughter, Harriet
Tally, that when “Uncle John” married
her she was only a little girl and he was
an old man. “Uncie Joan ' was in Nash
ville, Tenn., a hired slave, working, when
Gen. Jackson started for New Orleans, in
1814. He was never publicly whipped,
and was sold but once, coming down as

SMARTER THAN FEUD WARD, j
A Woman who was Strong for Both
Revenue ami Protection.
Keic York Letter.
“1 am a smarter man than Ferdinand i
Ward,” said a young business man down I
town recently." “My wife, who has got j
more sense than a dozen men, heard about
the big prafits that Grant & Ward paid i
their customers, and kept at me until I
put SSOO into their government contracts, j
Pretty soon I drew out a thousand dol
lars. ’ Then I put it back, and there came !
out fifteen hundred. Back that went, and ,
out came two thousand. This seemed like 1
picking blackberries. Back it went, and
out it came again, just as natural, and so
I sent it back again, and It doubled. It
beat any game" I ever saw, and I have
tried them all. Why, if a roasted pig with
a knife and fork stuck in its back had
come betore a hungry man he couldn’t
have been more surprised. I put it all in
again, and the bigger it got the more it
seemed to grow. It was just like rolling
off a log. All I had to do was to put the
money back, and out it came increased
every time. Well, it went along, and my
wife and I were tremendously excited. It
was better than a horse race with the
racers neck and neck on the last quarter.
At last my SSOO had grown to $10,500.
Then my wife said: ‘Takeout that $lO,-
000. It’s my speculation, and I claim that
money. We will have a brown-stone
house before next Sunday.’ I told her she
was crazy, and I was never so mad at her
in my life. She insisted that we should
take our profits and leave in the original
capital. There was a level head for you.
1 see it all now, but 1 felt very sheepish
when I called on Grant & Ward for my
SIO,OOO. I told Ward his business beat
anything that human brain ever con
ceived, and that I was sorry that I had to
take the money; that I thought my wife
was about the biggest gooso that ever
lived; that she didn’t know the alphabet
of speculation, but that it couldn’t be
helped. I expressed my determination to
leave in the original capital, and prom
ised him that 1 would never draw it out
again until he said so.”
“Has he said so?”
“Not yet. He still has got the original
capital,’but 1 have been smart enough to
beat his game out of $9,500.”
“And your wife?”
“Well, she has got the brown-stone
house.”
A Confederate Egg-Nog.
Texas Siftings.
One cold, cloudy Christmas day, when
the prospects of the Confederacy were as
glootnv as the weather, an Arkausaw sol
dier, whose clothes looked as though they
had been run through a threshing ma
chine, approached Gen. Hindman, who sat
on a stump near a lire, and said:
“Gmoral, wouldn’t a little aig-nog £0
putty well this mornin’? Y'ou know in
Arkansaw we alius cilibrate Christmas
with a little o’ the stuff.”
“Y’es,” the General replied, “and 1
should like to have a quart of it right
now.” .
“Well, let’s go to your tout where no
body ken see us, an’ we’ll make some
’rangements.”
When they entered the tent, the soldier
said:
“You git the whisky aud I’ll git the
aigs an’^ugar.”
“All right.”
The soldier went away, and, after a
while, with dejected countenance, he re
turned with the information that some
one had stolen the “artickles.”
“Pm devilish sorry,” said he, “for I’ve
been er saving’em things fer yer benefiffor
al ng time, knowin’how a a’ig-nog would
strike yer Christmas day.”
“That is bad,” said the General, “and
if I could discover the thief he should be
punished. Stay here aud let me go out
and skirmish.”
The General, after much difficulty, suc
ceeded in securing the ingredients, and ere
long a bowl of the frothing drink was pre
pared.
“Ah,” said the soldier, refilling his tin
cup for the third time, “this tastes like
old time, when 1 uster get up afore day
an’ fire off the old fuzee. Put two men’s
heads together, an’ suthin’ is goin’ ter hap
pen.”
Shortly after the soldier left the tent
Col. Bob Newton, chief of Hindman's
stall' entered and said:
“Do you remember old Dave Aickett,
who used to run a flat-boat on White
river ?”
“l r es, he was here a few moments ago.”
“He came to me this morning,” the
Colonel continued, “and began to talk
about egg-nog; fsaid that he had been
keeping eggs and sugar for me a long
time, and that if I would furnish the
whisky we would have a Christmas drink.
I agreed, and he went away, returning
pretty soon, and sorrowfully announced
that someone had stolen his treasure.
Rather than see the cjd lellow disappoint
ed, I furnished everything, and for a few
moments we—’’
“Good morning, gentlemen,” said Gen.
Churchill, entering the tent; “had a fine
egg-nog] early this morning. And old fel
low that used to run a flatooat on AVhite
river said that he would furnish the eggs
and sugar—”
“But did he do it?” asked Hindman and
Newton simultaneously.
“No; some wretch had stolen the stuff.
Hello, here is Fagan.”
“Gentlemen,” said Gen. Fagan, “jou
ought to have been with me this morning.
And old fellow, a former flatboatman,
came to me and talked about egg-nog till
be made my mouth water. He said that
he had been saving up a lot of eggs ana
sugar for my benefit, and that if 1 would
furnish the whisky we would celebrate. 1
agreed, and he went away, but I never
saw a more cast-down mail than he wts
upon returning. Someone had stolen the
egg 6, but I furnished the outfit, seeing that
disappointment would about kill the old
fellow. Hello, Reynolds!”
“Good morning, gentlemen,” said Gen.
Reynolds. “1 have had a fine time this
morning. And old fellow—”
“Hold on!” shouted the other men;
“we know all about that egg-stealing busi
ness.”
Gen. Hindman called an orderly, and
giving him the name of the egg-man,
said:
“Find that man and make him drunk,
it it takes every drop of whisky in the
Confederacy. Such merit shall not go un
rewarded.”
Shirred basques are much used in suits
of summer silks. Shirring is also used on
the lower skirts.
A NATION OF GLUTTONS.
Dr. Tanner Still of the Opinion that
Americans Eat Too Much—Heart Dis
ease Cured.
Jfett York Mail and Express.
“This is a nation of gluttons.”
The speaker was the famous Dr. Tan
ner. “If people would eat and drink less
there would be no more use for doctors.
They could sill shut up and go off on a
prolonged picnic.”
“They would probably object to that.”
“Of course, and that is just tbe trouble.
They live off the 'gluttony and intemper
ance of the people as the lawyers do off
the crimes. Their bread and butter is
concerned, vou see, and consequently
thev will not utter a warning word.”
“Of what practical benefit do you con
sider your great fast has been?” '
“It has been of benefit in various ways.
It has turned the attention of the people,
as well as the physicians, to the efficacy
of fasting as a cure for diseases of ail
kinds, which I contend it is. In my case,
for instance, I formerly had heart disease
so bad that competent physicians who
examined me pronounced it incurable.
Since my fast I have had no trace of it
whatever. The fast was published and
talked about all over the country, and set
people to thinking. Now many, instead
ol taking nauseous medicines for sickness,
simplv go without food for four or five
days and find themselves cured. I meet
men frequently who say to me that after
reading of the results of my fast amt what
1 said, they adopted that plan tor the cure
of sickness and now have no use for phy
sicians. Is not the theory reasonable?
Nature takes away a man’s appetite
when he is sick, evidently intending that
he shall not eat and thus give his diges
tive organs a chance to recuperate.
••The medical, profession too, were
forced to disc uss the matter and many to
adopt my theories. A number of them
wrote books upon the subject, both in this
country, Canada and Europe. That emi
nent physician and surgeon, Fellow of the
Royal Society, Dr. Richardson, of London,
England, wrote a bock ‘On the Benefits of
I)r.' Tanners Fast,’ which had an exten
sive circulation.”
“But was your only object to show the
advantage of fasting as a cure for dis
ease?”
“Not at all. My main idea was to dis
prove the materialistic theory of depen
dence of the mind or brain upon the body.
I held and hold that the body and brain
are dual, and that the latter can act
independently of the former. They said
that the bram, in order to be active, must
be fed upon foods rich in phosphates; that
when the supply stopped it would cease
to act. The old' school of physicians who
believed this claimed also that man could
not exist more than 12 or 15 days without
food. Dr. Win. A. Hammond said, when
I proposed to last for 30 days, that ‘the
man will either go crazy or die at the end
of 15 days.’ But 1 proved that he was
wrong.' My mind was as clear at the end
as at the beginning of the fast, as was
attested by all the physicians who
watched me through it.”
“Y'ou say that before your fast fifteen
days was believed to be the limit to
“human existence without food?”
It was, and was so stated in Carpen
ter’s and other physiologies. I do not
know whether any'new physiology has.
been issued since that time, but when one
is it will probably contain a different
statement. Of course, the old school men
had a ground for their belief in the cases
of men who had died in mines and other
places where they were cut off from
a supply ol food.’None of them lived
more than fifteen days. But I claim that
fear caused their death rather than star
vation. I don’t believe any man ever
starved to death. But one of my strong-.
est motives for the fast was on account
of the many persons buried alive. The
idea of the fast grew out of a wager or
challenge. Miss Mollie Fancher, of
Brooklyn, who claimed clairvoyant
powers', fell into a trance in 1878, and was,
to all appearance, dead. Dr. Spier, how
ever, who was called, although stating
that he believed her dead, asked the
family to keep the body without burial
until decomposition set in. He stated
that this could do no harm, and that there
was an unusual appearance about the
body which he could not account lor, and
wanted to study it. It was kept as he
desired, and there was no change for ten
weeks, when, much to the surprise of all.
Miss Fancher regained consciousness.
The case of course attracted much atten
tion and was published in all the papers.
Various New Y’ork physicians were inter
viewed, and among them Dr. William A.
Hammond, who stated that it was impos
sible and that the girl was a fraud. This
was published, and, on account of Dr.
Hammond’s standing, accepted as true,
especially ns Miss Fancher ignored an
offer of the doctor to give her SI,OOO if she
would fast ior thirty days, under the
supervision of the New Y’ork Neurological
Society. The young lady was of a sensi
tive disposition and shrank from public
ity, and having all the money she needed
cared nothing for the thousand dollars.
I read of the challenge in the papers, and
having already lasted forty-two days,
wrote to Dr. Hammond ottering myself as
a substitute for Miss Fancher.' After
much delay the proposition was accepted,
and 1 went to New Y’ork from Minneapo
lis. The doctor, however, deferred the
matter from time to time, on one pretext
or another, and finally wanted me to wait
until the meeting of the National Neurolo
gical Society. This was in the spring of
1880, and the society would not meet
until tall. I wrote him that I could not
afford to wait, and made my arrange
ments with the United States Medical
College. The faculty of the college aud
Other physicians watched me through my
fast, which was made forty days instead
of thirty.
Photographs of Public Men
Washington Star.
“Some men won't have their pictui’93
taken at all,” said a Washington photo
grapher. “AV’e were never able to get one
of Conkling; he seemed to be afraid of
compromising his dignity. Mahone is
somewhat the same. Nor" have we been
able to get photographs of Don Cameron,
Bowen, George of 'Mississippi, or ex-
Seuator Platt, who followed the lead of
Conkling. Edmunds is a hard man to get,
and Arthur’s hard. AVe used to get a
great many of Grant, but of late years,
since he has become broken, lie won’t
have any taken. He doesn’t like to ad
vertise the stamp of old age; so people,
judging simply front his pictures, will
always look upon him as a young man.
“Justice Gray is very peculiar in the
matter of photos. He won’t let any one
touch him or go near hint. lie assumes
his own position, and you have to take
bint just so. Blaine has always been very
gracious, and old Gen. Sherman was al
ways ready, and has given as much as an
hour aud a half at a time for sittings.”
“AV’bose pictures is there the greatest
demand for?”
“There is a big demand for the Presi
dent’s. Speaker Carlisle comes next. AVe
sell a great many pictures of all those
men who are spoken of prominently in
connection with the Presidency. There
are a great many of Gresham sold,
and those of Lincoln, Logan, Haw
ley, Edmunds, Sabin and Bayard sell
very well. In army circles no picture
sells like that of Gen. Phil. Sheridan.
Airs. Senator Logan is about the only wo
man whose picture is in demand,” he add
ed, pointing to that lady’s picture, the
only one among all the statesmen. “Every
body buys one, particularly the ladies,
though it is seldom that ladies buy pic
tures of one another.”
A Woman on Women,
Kate Field, in a letter to the Boston
Herald, says: “The marvel is that con
sidering their miserably superficial edu
cation, which fits them for nothing in this
world or the next, women stand on as
high a plane as they now do. It only shows
what mother wit has done for them. Only
a short time ago an enthusiastic Boston
journalist wrote to me in great glee be
cause Alatthew Arnold had declared
American women to be superior to the
men. I begged her not to quote a
foreigner on such a subject, as all most
men required of women in society was
receptivity. Finding women more sym
pathetic and adulative than men, even
clever Alattbew Arnold would prefer our
women to our men, and hence consider
what he prefers superior to what he does
not prefer; but facts are stubborn and
can’t be put away. So long as house
keeping remains in its present chaotic
condition; so long as servantgalism is the
chief topic of conversation; so long as the
woman who toils is considered inferior to
the woman who dresses and does nothing;
so long as two codes of mcrals are tol
erated, one damning the woman and up
holding the man; so long as emotion is
cultivated at the expense of reason, wo
men will, as a rule,be practically inferior
to men. No great, noble womanhood can
come from the present order of society.
There can be no grand men lound without
grand mothers. Therefore this republic
had better look to it 9 women. Beauty and
style and veneered accomplishments do
not make a woman.”
Ax Irish magistrate asked a prisoner if he
was married. “No,” replied the man. “Then,”
replied his worship, amid peals of laughter,
“its a good thing for your wife.”
