2 “MAID Mrttßß'S" BBOTHER. n „ m bied alone down the stone-decked lane, And out from hi* mid*t there frequent came A full-strength cuss-word, deep and low, As be knocked a nail from a wanton toe; And he wished he was deader’n So.-rates. And the robins rang out a chime from the trees. And he wished—a* he stepped on a business briar, „ , .. Which made him reflect “By gosh. Marier’ That he was a hundred miles away From the farm and the meadow and making har, And “Brindle” and “Bright" and the kicking Anifthe "blackbirds sang in the alder boughs. Now a poet who sat on a moss-hid stump, With his face in a smile and his back in a hump. Had heard the boy as he muttered away; And be called him hither and bid him say What life he’d choose if he had hts pick. And the brown thrushes piped from a new built rick. And the lad looked up with his eyes in a mist, And. cutting a snack of “Virginia Twist.” He paused for a moment, then, childlike, said; “Please. Mister Sir, if it’s all the same”— And the thrill of a thrush from a hedgerow came. “Please, Mister Sir.” the boy began. And tears coursed down through the fuzz and tan; “ ’S irs all the tame, an’ X had my pick, I could tell ye so suddlnk twould make ye sick— I'd be a cashier in a savings bank.” And the poet fell over limp and And this simple child with histender thought. From his sweet desire his wish has wrought; And he rides in a chariot gilt and gay. And the poet is up on the box, they say. And the world hies hence with its jam and jerk, , And the birds, as of old, get in their work. —B. B. McManus, in Puck. THE SITUATION IX NEW YORK. An Outline or the Political Prospect— The Sunday Concerts in Central Park. Correspondence of the J lamina -Veto*. New Yoke, July 17,—What follows is an outline of the political situation here, which is the result of talks, personally and by proxy, with all sorts and condi tions of men. In it nothing is extenuat ed which is to the disadvantage of the De mocracy, and naught is set down in mal ice to Tammany. All. excepting Cleve land’s personal enemies, and the work ingmen whose minds they have poisoned —even the Republicans—agree that the Democrats have nominated a ticket which deserves success; whether it will achieve it is, of course, a matter of individual opinion, and in matters political the wish is always father to the thought. Indeed, for the following reason, if for no other, Cleveland is the best possible Presidential Candidate that could have been named. Any other candidate would have been open to the reproach of being John Kelly’s choice. Had the convention named either Bayard or Randall, it would have been considered, and justly, a Tam many triumph. In order to avoid laying itself open to the imputation of having been bulldozed by the worst elements in the party, the convention was obliged to nominate Cleveland. Kelly A- Cos. left it no other alternative. Practically, as I in timated in my last letter,' he and his henchman, Grady, did more to nomi nate Cleveland than any other two men. Had another candidate been named not only the Independents and dissatisfied Republicans would have refused to sup port “John Kelly’s choice,” but many Democrats would have refused to follow where Tammany led. When Gen. Bragg said at the convention, referring to Cleve land, “We love him best for the enemies he has made,” he not only gave utterance to a truth, but to a truth of which the re verse is also true. The man chosen by Cleveland’s enemies would, for that rea son alone, have been looked coldly upon by tne better class of Democrats. According to present appearances Tam many Hall, in spite of all that has hap pened, will give Cleveland quite as much support as it would have given almost any candidate. Already the different branches of the organization are wheel ing into line. But its repentance cannot entirely undo the mischief it has done. The slanderous seed sown by the Star, the Tammany organ, has borne fruit in the minds of the more ignorant and unin telligent of the workingmen, and John Kelly in part told the truth when he said that he could not, if he would, secure iuc . labo :X' voto (or c le7C= land. All workingmen who are not fools, here and elsewhere, will prefer the reform Governor of New York to the corrupt ex- Speaker of Congress, the incarnation of monopoly and friend of monopolists; but unfortunately there are more fools than wise ones in this world, aud Blaine ap parently is to be the candidate of the fools as he evidently is of the knaves/ THE OPPOSITION TO CLEVELAND IS SO IRRATIONAL that it is a hopeless task to reason with it. Men object to him for vetoing the Elevated Railroad five cent bill who only use the ears in the five cent hours; em ploye# of the horse railways complain of his’ vetoing the twelve-hour bill, when, owing to their being paid by the trip, had it become a law their salaries would have suffered by so much; mechanicsfiud fault with him for vetoing the mechanics’ lien bill, when it was calculated to in jdaee of helping tb" _ y n second thought, .Aiere cannot be many men so utterly idiotic as to thus believe black is white, and by November the workingmen as a class 'will doubtless vote for the candi date of the party of the people, and not for the nominee’of the Monopolists’ party. What I alluded to a fortnight ago as calculated to offset any defection among the workingmen will assume mammoth proportions before the campaign is over, f those who initiated the movement are to' be believed. When going up town on the night of the nomination on a Third avenue car I met the editor of the Boycot ter, a pai>er which tails upon working men to boycot the Tribune and the Tri bune's candidate. Those who act on the advice of the Boyeotter not only do not buy the Tribune, but do not buy of firms who advertise in the Tribune, and above all they oppose the Tribune's candidate for President. The Boyeotter's animosity to the Tribune is due to Whitelaw Reid's breaking his contract with Typographical Union So. 6 and employing non-union printers. The editor of the paper which thus believes in waging war to the knife and the knife to the hilt told me that the 000,000 Knights ol Labor in the country would comply with the Typographical Union’s suggestion to boycot Blaine. As for No. 6 itselt, it already contains a club of njarlv 700 voters composed of men who have never voted Democratic be fore, but are pledged to do so this time. In fact those are the conditions of members!*!?: The typographical Union will evidently boycot jßiLl ne - hut judging from the alleged action of the lvn*^ 8 or Labor in St. Louis and elsewhere, its ample is not to be followed Vrith entire unanimity. There - g one argument in f avor which all Republicans acknowledge, although they pretend to make light of it,' and that is the difference between the class of men who are dissat isfied with his nomination and those who have bolted from Blaine. Certainly an odorous comparison, as Do-> rry called it can be made between George William Curtis Charles Francis Adams, Jr., President Eliot, of Harvard College, James Freeman Clarke, Professors Sum ner aud Dana, and the rest of the Yale College faculty, and John Kelly and Tom Tbecitv is alreadv putting on its elec tion livery. The streets are becoming terrible as an army with banners and wild-eved counterfeit presentments ot the different candidates stare at one from the transparencies of the various political clubs Larger or smaller meetings of each partv are held in some part of the town every evening. Election time has come, and the voice of the campaign ora tor is heard in the land. HE NEW DEPARTURE OF THE I’ABK COMMISSIONERS in changing the concert in Central Park from Saturday to Sunday, while it is a source of delight to thousands of the working people, has incurred the anathemas of those who believe that the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. The commission ers have actually been flooded with peti tions signed bv mistaken but zealous peo ple praving tbat the concerts be discon tinued. 'Oneßaptist clergyman, however, with whom a petition was left not only refused to sign it himself but advised his congregation not to, aud it did not obtain a single signature. The Park Commis sioners, sustained by his action and the support or the newspapers, have thus far held out against the Sabbatarian clamor. I hav;e nlver understood how this reve rence for Sunday as the Sabbath, which exists among English speaking Protest ants, originated. It is not a peculiarity of Protestantism, but only of English Pro testantism. It certainly does not exist among the continental Protestants, and never did. A Geneva tradition repre sents Calvin, the founder of the church which originated the Puritan Sabbath, playing bowls on Sun day during a visit or his friend and fellow reformer, John Knox. The elder Disr.-eli, who repeats the tradition in his ‘•Life of Charles,” says further: “At this day and in that place, a Calvanistic preacher, after his Sunday sermon, will take his seat at the card table.” Knox, it should be added, is nowhere repre sented as being scandalized by Calvin’s Sunday bowl-playing. While the impor tation of the “continental Sunday” is to be deprecated, the example of Calvin, not to speak of that of Luther who took the same view of Sunday that the Roman Catholics do, should justify the park con cert being given on a day when poor peo ple can enjoy it. Miss Lulu Hurst is experiencing a re action. The impression is gaining ground that she is not much of a “wonder” after all, but merely a very muscular girl with great nervous force.' Funny enough, her reputation suffered most at" her matinee yesterday at which only women were ad mitted. Although she' got the better of Mrs. Langtry, some of the women who tackled her yesterday stood up against her more successfully than did the ath letes of the L'nion Club, and showed that they, too, possessed her peculiar power in a greater or less degree. FASHIONABLE NEW YORKERS, who are not too far away to get their newspapers, must have been not a little exercised at reading ot the arrest of Bradhurst Sehiefflin’s third wife for bigamy. Although only wholesale drug gists, in place of being'professional men, the Schiefllins, with their families, be long to “good society,” and both entertain and are entertained by the “best people.” Mr. Schiefllin had ma’rried and lost two wives, when he took to bis bosom an alleged adventuress with any number of aliases, who already had a husband in an insane asylum. Before the latter lost his property and became alunitic, 6he is said to have dined and wined the Grand Duke Alexis when he visited Cleveland, wnere she then lived in luxury. One can make himself feel half a dozen or more years younger by visiting the Cosmopolitan Theatre this week. “Pina fore” is being played there, and the familiar “what, never” and “hardly ever,” are uttered with as much unction as if they had the ze9t of extreme novelty. A cooler July was seldom—l came near saying “hardly ever”—known here. Y'esterday and the day before averaged ten degrees lower than the corresponding days of last year. Overcoats are neces sary for comfort of an evening, and are quite generally worn. D. MEN IGNORANT OF FIRE. A South Sea Island Where Cooking is Unknown. I do not know of any but a single record, says the American Naturalist, where natives of a newly discovered country did not know the use of fire; that one case was on Island Fanua Loa, or Bodwitch’s Island, discovered on January 29,1841, by the U. 8. S. Peacock, commanded by Capt. W. H. Hudson, of the United States South Sea Surveying and Exploring Expedition. Capt. Hudson relates: “The natives were at first very shy of the boats; but the Hawaiians who were in them soon induced them to approach, and to enter into trade, and finally enticed them along side the ships. On coming near they began a song or chat, holding up their paddles and mats, and shouting ‘kafilou tamatau.’ They resembled the natives of Oatafu, or Duke of York’s Island, wore the same kind of mats, eye-shades and ornaments, and some were tatooed in the same manner. Some, however, were tatooed in a different style, being orna mented with a variety of arrows on the forehead and cheeks. They were all fine ly formed and manly in appearance, with pleasing countenances that expressed good nature. “They were eager enough for trade, and soon disposed of all they had to exchange; a few presents were made them, but all the inducements failed to entice them on board. They appeared cheerful, laughing heartily at anything that struck them as ridiculous. * * * * * * “The poDulation of the Island is esti mated to "be about six hunrded souls, most of whom dwell in the'town. “There were no signs of places tor cook ing, nor any appearance of fire, and it is believed that all their provisions are eaten raw. What strengthened this opinion was the alarm the natives felt when they saw the sparks emanating from the flint and steel, aud the emission of 6moke from the mouths of those who were smoking cigars.” The writer of this article was on board the Peacock, and can vouch for the verity of Capt. Hudson’s account of our inter views with the nativeSj and also that they eat their entire food without cooking, but also had the greatest dread of fire in any form. We saw no traces of charcoal or ashes in their village or town, and we fully understood them as to their food and how it was taken. It consisted entirely ofcocoanuts and pandanus fruits; fish, echini, and other products of the sea. The few sea birds mostly seen there were not regarded as food, and even if they were, could not have been sesily obtained or relied on for supplies, the population being large in proportion to the island’s size, THE .DOG SURVIVED. Burying I. self In Swamp Mud after Hav ing been Bitten b.V Rattlesnake*. John Davis and George Miller drove from Collonsville to this city on Monday, says a Williamsport (Pa.) special to the New York Sun. When they were cross ing the mountain at a place known as the Old Hermit’s, a valuable coach dog which accompanied them ran off into the woods. Soon afterward they heard him yelping in a peculiar maimer. Both men jumped from the wagon and hurried in the direc tion of the cries. They came in sight of the dog in a small hollow, and found him in a fight with several rattlesnakes, Which surrounded him on a large flat rock, and struck him from every side. Miller and Davis each seized a long club and went to the dog’s assistance. They killed eleven rattlesnakes, and many oth ers escaped among the rocks. The larg est one was four feet long, and had seven teen rattles. While the men were busy cutting off the rattles of the snakes they had slain Miller was overcome by tbe peculiarly offensive odor that characterizes rattle snakes, and Davis was obliged to help him away from the spot. It was several minutes before he recovered from the effects of the poisoned air. The dog was nowhere to be seen. Davis went back into the woods to look for him. In pass ing by the spot where the snakes had been killed, he saw a number of live ones, which had come out of their holes among the rocks, gliding around their dead com panions, springing their rattles, and every motion denoting fury. Davis beat - —and went off in another direc t&rSfagl* an- **?.*! upon the dog, with his body emhedanu a mire hole ina swampv spot, uead alone was above the surface. Dogs bitten by rattlesnakes instinctively seek such places and bury themselves in the mud. Old snake hunters say that if a dog is able to find swamp mud and covers him self with it, it will invariably draw out the poison. Davis left his _ dog in the swamp, and drove on to this city with Miller. Last evening the dog arrived home, apparently none the worse for its encounter with the venomous reptiles, although it must have been bitten by. them many times. A LADY’S SECRETARY MISSING. A Mysterious Stranger Says He will be Returned for *I,OOO. This entire section of country is in a tumult of excitement, says a Chattanooga special to the New York World, over the singular disappearance of a young man named John A. Neal, a member of a very prominent family ol Huntsville, 44a. Neal was private Secretary for Miss Maud St. Pierre. She is very wealthy, and re cently bought 22,000 acres in Franklin countv, Tenn., for $78,000. Neal was sent to look after the property. On Sunday morning, June 15, he left tbe botel for a walk through the woods, and at noon was een on top of the mountain sitting by the roadside plucking flowers. Since then he has not been seen. Miss St. Pierre employed twenty-five men and instructed them to search night and day for him. Boats were built, and every stream for ten miles was dragged. Canons, abysses and gulches were thoroughly searched. Skilled detectives were put to work in all the neighboring cities and towns, and railroad agents and conductors were put on guard, but as vet no trace of him has l>een found. The lady says her accounts were left all right and Neal did not have one cent of her money in his possession. He was in good circumstances and in good spirits. A few days since a man was heard to exclaim in a crowd: “li Miss St. Pierre will offer SI,OOO ransom Neal will be produced.” The man was looked for but could not be found. I THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 20, 1884. CAP IT AD GOSSIP. Manly Sport* the Craze In Atlanta—The Coming State Fair. Correspondence of the Morning Sews. Atlanta, July 18.—The recently held walking matches have influenced the young people of this city in the direction of manly sports, and the Atlanta Athletic Club has been organized for the purpose of encouraging them. This association has secured a piece of ground near the city, and a large number of workmen are now engaged in putting the tract of land selected in good shape for the purposes intended. The lot, which is ample in size for all purposes, will be graded and en closed at once, and so arranged that base ball, cricket, lacrosse and other games can be played thereon. These popular games are backed by clubs ot the city, and all of them are in good trim, notwith standing the fact that they have had no grounds or place of resort.’ The projectors intend to fix the mem bership at 1,000, so as to get all of the i young people in the city interested. There | are 26 bicyclists in the city, and the club to which they belong will "have free use of i the grounds, either for practice or public contests. ! A base ball club, known as the “Ath | letics,” has been organized and in a few days they issue invitations to the clubs of j Savannah, Augusta, Macon and Colum- I bus to come here and cross bats with the Atlanta club. While the club is yet i young and lacking in experience and practice, the members of it are of the I opinion that they can at least play such a ; game as will entertain any visiting clubs | that may find it convenient to appear on the diamond with them. The first game : is looked for within the next two weeks. I The grounds of the Atlanta Athletic Club | will be the only resort for open air sports ; in the city. The once famous fair grounds i and race course, located near the western limits of the city, a few years since passed into the hands of the Atlanta Cotton Exposition Company. This property at the close of the exposition was sold, and has since been used in the manufacture of cotton goods. The build ings have been remodeled and turned into a cotton factory, the race track has grown up in grass a'nd weeds, and the grand stand is fast falling to pieces. THE STATE FAIR TO BE HELD at Macon, opening Oct. 27, under the aus pices of the Georgia State Agri | cultural Society, promises to be ; the grandest ’since the big fair I held by Mayor Huff twelve years ago. I In addition to the regular line of yearly i exhibits, there will be immense 1 displays of minerals, deposits of the ; earth of every description, specimens of the forests of’the State, and innumerable other articles of value, besides historical relics, and in fact everything that will attract interest. The articles to be ex j hibited as a part of the new departure I will be gathered together by United States Commissioner DeWitt C. Bacon and his ! efficient board of assistant commissioners. I The Commissioner and the State Agricul | tural Society are in full accord, and by : the combined efforts of the two organiza tions the State Fair will be one of unusual interest. At the closing of the fair all articles of value or note will be carefully packed up and shipped to New Orleans, to be placed there as Georgia’s display. TWO GAS COMPANIES now under successful operation in At lanta, are having a lively fight for su premacy. Two years ago the Atlanta Gas Company charged $3 60 per thousand feet foF its product. This high figure caused the Gate City Gas Company to be organ ized. After a hard legal fight, the new candidate for public favor secured a good footing, and rate cutting then commenced. The result of this scramble is that to-day a first-class quality of gas .can be had at $1 50 per 1,000 feet, with a reduction of 10 per cent, for cash when bills are due. With no desire to “bull” or “bear” the stock of either company, I state it as a fact that the patrons of the new company are highly pleased with the product of the Gate City. A strong fight is still being made upon the new company by the stock holders of the Atlanta Gas Company. The holders of this stock, who are property owners, are, to a large extent, opposed to their tenants subscribing to the list of patrons of the Gate City Company, THE OTHER GEORGIA WONDER. A Broken Contract and a Probable Lawsuit. If the attempt of the last Georgia won der, Miss Amy Lee Price, to get away from Col. Miles is successful, it will break up the plan which the various managers of various wonders had to pool their issues. It was arranged by Messrs. Miles and Frohman that they should take these young women to various parts of the country and work them while the furore lasted. Even they are not sanguine enough to suppose that it will last long, because it is feared that pretenders will arise in all parts of the'United States. Hurst being the original, will probably last longer than any of the others. Miss Trice's action will benefit nobody, nut even herself or her parents. Mr. Miles, who made the contract with the fast named wonder, said: “Before bringing on Miss Price here I desired to see what was in the business. If Miss Hurst were a failure it would be no good to attempt it. When she took so well 1 sent for Miss Price to her home in Georgia, where she had gone. I had a contract with her manager, a Mr. Cunyus, and I paid their expenses to New York. I bought the wonder dresses and shoes and hats and all that sort of thing to make her presentable. I found that during, the few exhibitions she had given her manager had lost money, but believing she would now be able to do well, I offered her manager a better contract than the first one I had made with him. By this he was to receive S2OO a week and the father of the girl was to get S2OO. I think now that if I had offered Mr. Cunyus the extra hundred, he would not have attempted to make a contract else where. But on the very next morning I learned that he had signed anew contract with a man named Bullock. Conyus swore to me that the father was the cause of it. The father told me atterwards that he was induced to sign by Conyiins, who had not told him the new contract I had offered him. But I swore I would follow them wherever they went and put in my claim to their services. It is not that 1 care so much about the matter, but that I will not be trifled with in this way. I first of ail put a watch on their house, for I understood they would skip if they could, and then I sent to court for an in junction. I intend that the}' shall carry out their contract with me if it costs me a fortune. I think the girl will be success ful. She is a mere child, and therefore the feats she does, which are better any way than Miss Hurst’s, would appear the piore wonderful,’’ DEATH OF A FAMOUS COW. A Jersey for wliicli *15,000 was Twice Refused. The Jersey cow Bomba, No. 10,330, says the New York Times, died on Saturday last of milk lever at the farm of her breeder and owner, A. B. Darling, near Ramseys, N. J., two days after having dropped her fourth calf, a bull, by Dar ling’s Rioter. Thi9 was the first cow that openly challenged public skepticism regarding her alleged great butter yield, and her trial of seven days in the hands of a disbelieving committee in the fall of 1882, did, perhaps, more than any other one thing to establish public confidence in the claims made on behalf of Jersey cat tle. The result of the te9t was 21 pounds ll'i ounces of unsalted butter in seven davs, and it still remains the best public record for a cow milk ing in second calf, though one private trial claims to surpass it. Bomba had just reached the age at which her famous grand-dam Eurotas, No. 2,454, came to the zenith of her capacity, and it was in contemplation to test her the com ing year, in expectation of realizing her owner's prediction, that a cow will yet be found capable of yielding 900 pounds of butter, followed by a calf, all within a vear. In the combination sale in May last Bomba’s daughter, an 8 months heiler, brought $5,200 at auction. Her second calf, a bull, now heads Col. H. S. I Russell’s herd, near Boston, Mass., and | sold privatelv for a similar sum. The owner of Boniba received two cash offers of $15,000 each for her, shortly after her notable test, but preferred to retain her, iu hopes of demonstrating the correctness of hi 9 estimate of the possible capacity ot a cow for butter-giving. BURNETT’S COCOAINE Will Save the Hair And keep it in a strong and healthy condi tion, because it will stimulate the roots of the hair, and restore the natural action upon which its growth depends. Burnett's Flavoring Extracts are abso lutely pure. THE SHUT-IN SOCIETY. Somethin*; About an Interesting; Organi zation Numbering a, OOO Invalid* A lady who has been 14 years a bed ridden invalid, and who has read platonic philosophy to good purpose, sends the St. Louis Republican, from West Richfield, Ohio, the following sketch of the “Shut in Society.” It is addressed to “those who didn’t know” there was so many people in the world confined to their beds: This society was formed in 1877, and to Mrs. Jennie M. D. Conklin, then Miss Drink water, of New Vernon, N. J., be longs the honor of originating and giving l it a name. She had been shut in three | t ears when she began to pray that she might find someone else shut-in, “some oue to write to, to do good to. and receive ! good from.” She already had one such correspondent. Miss Susie S. H. Hewett, of Belleville, N. J., of whom she spoke as ! “a dear little maiden, who is seldom taken* out into the sunshine and never stands upon her feet.” But she wanted another, and “the resolve was made to find some body new to broaden her life as well as mine.” At this juncture Miss D. was attracted | by an article entitled “My Invalid Friends,” signed “Cousin Alice,” in the Advocate and Guardian. She at once j wrote the editor for the full name and | address of “Cousin Alice,” and com menced a pleasing and mutually profit able correspondence with Miss Alice M. Ball, of Pittsfield, Mass. A second arti cle, called out by the above, and entitled I “To Invalids,” added Mrs. L. J. Geer to the little circle. From that time the num ber has steadily increased, until now there are nearly 2,000 members. In the fall of 1879 a manual containing all the names and addresses were issued, and every three mouths afterward, up to January, 1883, a circular letter, which ! contained names and addresses of new members, messages from the members, removals, withdrawals and deaths. A monthly, called the Shut-In Visitor, : has taken the place of the circular letter, and fills the demand of the society for a more frequent method of communication. It is edited by Mrs. Kate Sumner Burr, Walworth, N. Y., one of the associate j members. To be a sufferer, shut in from the outside ; world, constitutes one a proper candidate ; for membership to this society, which has ; no constitution, officers, by-laws, or ini tiation fee. The only expense incurred in becoming a member is the price of the ! Visitor. It is a simple agency to give and re j ceive diversion of thought, comfort and ! cheer, by sending and receiving letters and other tokens of remembrance. Each ! Is at liberty to write to any one on the 1 list, or to all. * Some of the members are unable to write, and some would find the expense of an extensive correspondence embarrass ! ing. Writing, therefore, is not compul sory. Those who are not able to write may feel content to be recipients only of the sympathy and love of the more fav ored. But to those who can, it is recom mended that they select as many corres pondents as they can attend to'without making a task of what is designed only to be a pleasure. Nothing gives such cheer and comfort as letters. They not only aid us with their sympathy and bright ness, but help us to go out into other lives instead of staying shut in with our own sufferings, and surely there must be suffering for the sin of omission for those who are able to write, if some of the comfort and sympathy is not “passed on.” NO one but a “shut-in” can appreciate the longing we have for mail tiifte, nor how bitter the disappointment if there is not even a postal-card for us, for even a postal-card is often enough to make the whole (lay happy. I appeal in the name of suffering humanity to every one who reads the following extracts ’from the messages in the circular letters during 1882, and the Shut-In Visitor during 1883. to try to imagine themselves in each writer’s place, though no one who has not experienced what the term “shut-in” lully implies can but very dimly comprehend the story of suffering and woe they tell. One writes: “My heart lingers long and tenderly by each dear ‘shut-in,’ for 25 years on a sick bed will teach one to sympathize with others.” Another writes; “For 22 vears I have been ‘shut-in,” my whole life bounded by the narrow confines of my room, unable to leave my bed ex cept at rare intervals, unable to use either head or hands in reading or in light work, which would help fill up the weary hours of suffering. I have much to be grateful for, and not the least of my blessings are the precious words of love and sympathy which have reached me from other suf fering ones. I would gladly respond to the kind messages if it was in my power, but can only send my grateful thanks by the hand of a friend, in this way.” A little over one vear after the above appeared in the circular letter, the weary hours of this sufferer were over. Another writes: “I have have been a sufferer for 23 years; for the last 10 have not walked a step, and the last 9 have not been able even to he down, I have to sit in my chair both day and night. Another writes: “Only think! I have been an invalid fifty-one years and a half! Forty-nine weary years I have been confined to this bed of pain and weakness. “It is astonishing how much the human system can endure. I was only 18 years old when this disease settled internally, so that I could not walk. But I could sit up a short time during the two years and a half, but all these 49 years I could not take a step or sit in a chair to nave my bed made, but am taken up by a kind of machinery. It is a sad trial; but then I have so many blessings, so much to thank God for. Oh, how thankful I feel lor my eyes and the use of my hands. I can do so much for myself. 1 have done a good deal of light work while lying on the bed. This has been a great comfort. 1 can do but eery little now, I am so weak. I am now 70 years old. No one thinks lam 70 till I tell them; my hair is but little gray. I have many letters from the ‘Shut-In Band,’ but cannot answer them all, 1 am glad I know of it and belong to it. God bless all the poor suffering ones.” Another writes: “Among the many blessings and favors extended to me during a shut-in life of 22 vears with spinal disease, it has been my Heavenly Father’s pleasure, through the kindness of my friends and correspond ents, John G. Whittier and James Wil lard, to introduce me to your suffering band.” Another writes: “I have been shut-in more than 40 years, and entirely unable to walk lor 36 years; and at present wholly dependent upon triends for every comfort of my life; can not turn myseli in bed, or move my feet in the slightest degree, and my arms are almost useless, only having strength in my hands to sew, knit or write with great effort. These sufferings and priva tions are the result of spinal disease.” Another writes: “How I wish 1 could see you all, and learn from each the story of your shut-in life, not from curiosity, but from true sympathy, having myself been confined to my bed 11 years.” Another writes: “It is nearly 13 vears since I was laid aside, and my sufferings at times tense. 1 have not to bear my long illness at once, but minute by min ute.” One hundred and seven millions two hundred and twenty-two thousand four hundred minutes in tne 206 years the writers of the above extracts have had to bear their mental as well as their physi cal suffering. HIGH-TONED SMUGGLERS. The Swell* Who May Bring In Valuables Duty Free. “I could tell you some interesting stories about the United States treasury smugglers and their devices,” said a special agent in the custom house, to a New York Dial reporter, this morning. “Only two days ago we found some hun dreds of cigars in the condenser of one of the steamers. The goods were all spoiled, but the smugglers were caught. But that doesn’t come up to the diamond smug glers. who are mostly females. They have greater chances than a man. Only the other day we found over SIO,OOO in the heel£ of a pair of old boots, which were laki carelesslv around the steamer during the vuvage across. Sometimes a woman will have over fifty yards of fine lace on an old white skirt. What can you say? Whv. you cannot do anything. Presum ably high-toned American citizens go over and buy thousands of dollars’ worth of clothing, and can bring it in with impun ity; and this kind of smuggling has in creased considerably since the recent decision of Judge Blatchford in the Astor case, because they have now only to plead ‘social position.’ and they can get any amount of goods through duty free.” THE HAUNTER GULCH. The Scene of a Colorado Tragedy Where the Victim’* Cry of Agony I* Still Heard. Coyote gulch, one of the numerous arroyas on the divide which during heavy rains become the course of raging rivers, in a few hours to become as dry as the surface of the surrounding hills, says the Denver Times, Is situated right in the heart of the district which is now the scene of the gold excitement of Douglas county. At the distance of a few rods from its banks stands a dilapidated cabin, a one-roomed structure originally built exclusively of logs, but to which several apartments had been added of frame roughly constructed. At the present time the place is in a state of decay, peopled only by the numerous families of swallows who live in absolute and undis turbed possession. Nothing could be more lonely or desolate looking than this pitiful remnant of what was once a hofne. Stripped of its sheathing the log wall of the abode stands out like the ribs of a skeleton from which has fallen its comely outer covering, between whose openings the storms pitilessly beat, and through which the winter winds howl their re quiems. Thirteen years ago the cabin and ranch upon which it stands were occupied by the Mclntyres—tather and two grown sons, together with the wife of the elder Mclntyre and two children by a former husband. The reputation of ’ the family in this sparsely-settled neighborhood was anything but good, and dark stories were told of unwary travelers who had sought shelter there for a night, but who had never afterward been seen. One stormy evening in June, 1873, a stranger, supposed to be from Denver, who had missed the stage and had at tempted to walk to Russellville, but who was overtaken by the storm, knocked at the Mclntyre abode and asked shelter for tha.night. The house at that time con sisted of the main log structure, two frame additions in the rear and a rude sort of loft over the principal room, reached by a narrow flight of steps. The one window lighting this loft over looked the roof of the low addition immediately in the rear, in which Jack anil Jim Mclntjre, the two “boys,” slept. The knowledge of the terrible tragedy which followed was derived chiefly from the confession afterward made by Jim Mclntyre. When the stranger,after the door was opened had pre ferred his request, he was told to be seated, when the old man and his two sons went into a back room aud had a long whis pered conversation, at the end of which the father returned, and, taking a candle, asked the visitor to follow him up the nar row stairs to the apartment above, and showing him a rude bed bade him good night. Soon his deep ‘breathing, which could be heard through the chinks of the floor in the room beneath, attested that he was asleep. No sooner was this made certain than the two boys slipped outside, placed a ladder against the low building, gained access to its roof, and thence to the room in which the stranger was sleeping, j through the window, which had been purposely left open. Stealthily advancing upon the unconscious sleeper, a blow with a knife was delivered with a swift and sure aim. Death, however, was not in stantaneous, and there rang out upon the night air, up and down the gulch and far over the divide, such a cry of mortal agony as haunted its listeners to their dying day. Another deadly stab, and all was over. Upoti examining the person and effects of their victim, the murderers found, as they had suspected, a considerable sum in money and gold dust, a costly gold watch, and other valuables. Appropriating these, they lifted the body, while yet warm,with the blood oozing from the gaping wounds, through the open window, carried it down the ladder, and thence to a thicket of oak brush a few rods to the rear of the house, when, hastily digging a shallow grave, they thrust the ghastly evidence of their crime into it, filled in the earth, and cov ered the whole with dead leaves. Several days elapsed, and the murder ers, alter dividing the spoils of the dead man, were living in fancied security,until suddenly, one morning shortly alter day light, and before they had arisen, the cabin was surrounded by a large body of determined men, armed and evidently bent upon an errand of vengeance. En tering the abode the father and sons were quickly made prisoners, their arms pin ioned, and a strong guard placed over them, A thorough search of the prem ises began, and ir. the fatal loft were found damning evidences of the crime in the stains ot blood in the bed, on the floor, and casing of the window. Tracing the course of the murderers when re moving the body by the clotted spots which had not been removed, the object of search was eventually found and disin terred, and their horrible suspicions con firmed. It seems that the stranger, who proved to be a prominent banker oi' Denver, had left for Pueblo with a considerable sum of money which he intended to use in the latter city, but leaving the stage at the first station for a few moments was for some unaccountable reason left by it and in his anxiety to reach his destination had started to walk to the next station of Russellville, thinking to obtain there some sort of conveyance with which to proceed on his journey. Upon the return of the stage to Denver two or three days after ward his mysterious disappearance was learned by his friends. A party was organized and mounted on good horses, started on the road making Fnquiries everywhere. Learning at the station where he had been left the fact of his having started to walk to Russellville, they at once proceeded to that place and discovered that he had not been there. Feeling convinced of foul play, and being aware of the bad reputation of the Mcln tyres, they resolved to make them a visit, whose discoveries justified their worst fears. After disinterring the body they return ed to the house and found that through the negligence of the guards Jack Mcln tyre, the elder brother, had slipped off his shackles and escaped. He was never captured, but from accounts published some years afterward a man answering his description was lynched in a New Mexican town for killing another over a game of cards. Ropes were placed around the necks of the old man and the other son, aud they were led down to the gulch, where a gigantic pine reached its long arms nearly across its bed. Jim Mcln tyre was given sufficient time to make a confession, in which, after reciting in a cold-blooded manner the details of the horrible deed, from any participation in which, however, he exculpated his father, he was swung off from one of the branches of the tree by strong and willing arms, thus meeting a swift punishment for his ghastly crime. The body was left swinging over the stream for some time aud was then cut down and buried at the foot of the tree. Partly from Jim’s strenuous assertions ol his father’s innocence, and partly because of the pleadings of the latter’s wife, he was suffered to go. with the understand ing that he should at once leave the State, which he lost no time in doing with his family and has never since returned. Travelers and cowboys, who have occa sion to pass the deserted cabin after nightfall, stoutly assert that the agonized death cry of the murdered man can be neard every night, echoing over the hills and through this gulch, which, strange to say, is the heart of the gold district, and has proved to be one of its richest placer diggings. SKIPPER TILDEN, QF THE VIKING Tlie Venerable Sage Seek* Rest and Health on the Waves. The steam yacht Viking, which Mr. Tilden has just purchased from GeorgeS. Bcott, Commodore of the American Yacht Club, says a New York special of the 16th inst., is one of the prettiest pieces ol yachting architecture afloat. She is 133 feet all over; 20.3 feet beam; 10.3 feet deep, and has an average speed of 12 knots. All her houses on deck are of ma hogany and are luxuriously fitted. The main saloon seats fourteen at a table. She has four state rooms for guests, and four for the crew forward, closets. bath room, chests and all the other appurtenances of a first class boat. She is a comparatively new boat, first going into commission last July. Mr. Tilden hired her last June through Morring’s Agency, with the privilege of buying, and forty-eight hours preferment should any other offer be made. As an offer was made, Mr. Tilden was forced to buy her last Saturday to retain possession. ’ The price paid was $40,000. She generally lies just above Yonkers, and Mr. Tilden is said to spend most of his days aboard of her, returning to Grey stone at night. Mr. Tilden is a member of the American Y'acht Club and there is a probability that he will go on its pro posed cruise, unless some political com plications interfere.' ’ Amos Pebkins, at the age ot 84, is Treasur er ot the town of Unity, N. H. BEJEWELEP NEW YORKERS. The Dude* of the Metropolis Said to be Wearing Bangle*. Men are beginning to wear bangles now in New York, says a New York letter. Some of them are not real men, and have all the characteristics of dudes, but there are others who are strong and muscular and manlike, but who have given way to the craze. It hasn’t prevailed to any large extent yet, as it is a lit tie bit too much for the average American to under go. The bangles or bracelets are all alike. They are closely-woven chains a quarter of an inch or less broad, which are welded on the wrist just at Its juncture with the hand. It is impossible to get them off in most cases, though men with slim hands manage to tug them over their fingers. The bracelets are usually made ol plain silver, though there are a few gold ones. They are never ornamented. The links are closely made after the fashion of the average watch chain. In Russian baths, in boat crews, on the athletic grounds, and at the beach, one occasionally sees a man's naked arm adorned by one of these chain bracelets. The wearers claim that the bracelets pre vent disappointments in love and other sentimental things. The majority of men who wear bangles are pronounced Anglo maniacs. .The fashion, I believe, was set by the Duke of Beaufort, who came here on a visit to James Gordon Bennett three years ago. His Grace is one of those Eng lishmen who take their pleasures sadly and tranquilly. He enjoyed sitting better than any other man I ever saw. He was quite a9 inert as James Gordon Bennett himself when m pursuit of pleasure. One of the Duke’s most absorbing occupations was to sit on the southwest corner of Del monico’s every afternoon and admire his finger-nails. On his left wrist he had a silver bangle, which was always promi nently displayed. After a little two or three actors, among others young Sidney Howard, of Wallack’s, and a little dude called Rene, who supported Rhea last season, appeared diffidently but happily with bangles which closely resembled that of His Grace. Then two or three musicians and one composer, who has since died, ap peared timidly with the chains around their left arms, and the fashion was well under way. Bogart was also rather fond of rings. He wore a plain gold ring on the little finger of his left hand, two rings on the third finger of his left hand—one a serpent ring and the other known as a “glove” ring. Tbat is. a diamond and two emeralds were set in a solid gold band. They were level with the surface of the ring, so that you could slip a glove over it with more ease than you could if the jewels projected. On the third finger of the Duke’s right hand was a huge black stone, which was popularly supposed to he an heirloom—an antique crest, or something of that sort. The men who are afraid, or have too much good sense to wear bangles, but who are fond of jewelry, copy the Duke's arrangement of his rings and now it is no exaggeration to say that time-fifths of the wealthy club loungers and well-to-do Wall street men wear as many rings as the Duke of Beaufort wore and in exactly the same manner. This wearing of jewelry by men is a sort of revival. It was popular years ago, and then it became so snobbish and vul gar that gentlemen could only be dis tinguished from cads by simplicity of style. Two years ago a gentleman’s at tire for evening dress was so plain as to appear almost poverty-stricken. His tie was plain lawn and cost not more than 15 cents—satin and silk ties were then and still are left to waiters and serving-men— the studs of his shirt front were bone, his cuff-buttons were two plain gold disks linked together and his waistcoat had plain white buttons. Curious enough, this perfectly simple attire was inaugurated by the bosom friend of the gaudy Duke of Beaufort, Mr. Janies Gordon Bennett, who, it is said, copied the Prince of Wales. At that time the majority of men wore no rings at all, and their watch chains were scarcely larger than a bit of thread. As might readily be imagined, the snobs soon caught up with this fashion. It was 60 very economical, it appealed to their purses though not to their tastes, and they soon adopted it. Then a lot of Knickerbocker Club men startled the men about town by appearing with a single stud. It was a Parisian fash ion. The stud was a cat’s-eye surround ed by little diamonds, and was placed exactly in the centre of the shirt bosom. The cost of such a stud was anywhere from S2OO to SI,OOO. This was consid ered about right until the world found out how much the stud cost; then it was frowned down upon and called gaudy. But the single-stud idea took hold, and two months afterwards nearly every man’s shirt bosom had a single gold stud a little bit smaller than a copper cent. That broke the ice, and during all last winter, and particularly this spring, we have had gold galore. A number of the enthusiasts who worship jewelry have carried the thing to excess, and the chances are that in a year or two we shall have to come down to plain bone buttons again. LAST OF THE LEECH FISHEHS. A Curious Occupation which Has Seen it* Rest Days. A grizzly old man with his breeches legs turned up to his thighs, says the Philadelphia. Record , waded through the ditches of “the Neck” in the First ward, ture scoop net. He was engaged in the He carried with him a tin can and aminia somewbat curious occupation of catching .leeches. “The business,” said he to an inquiring reporter, “is nearly played out, but I make something at it yet.” The old fellow then proceeded to carefully wash out his tin can, remarking: “Have to be very careful to have nothing but pure water in this can, for the leeches will not live in anything but pure water. I have been a leech fisherman for twenty years, and it took me a good while to learn how to keep them.” The manner of this odd old man’s fish ing was very simple. He vigorously stirred up the mud in the ditch with his feet, and then watched for the leeches to rise to the surface or perhaps settle upon his bare legs. Those which came up he caught with his little scoop net, trans ferred them to his tin can full of water, and then calmly proceeded to pick off such as had fastened upon his limbs. The loss of blood appeared to give him no uneasi ness, although in a day’s fishing this must be considerable. Chatting about his curious mode of making a living the old man said: “I have frequently taken 2,000 leeches from a single stream. If they once get filled with blood they drop off dead, and thus many die after 'getting a square meal from the legs of the cattle which roam through the ditches. Leeches may with care be kept indefinitely. There is a fair sale for them in Philadelphia, but the demand has dwindled very much of late years. French and Swedish leeches are now very generally used, because they can be preserved so much easier. Years ago many men and boys were engaged in leech-fishing in this neighborhood. lam all that is left, and only I because I am too old for any thing else. The pauper leeches ot Europe have destroyed the industry, you see,” concluded the fisherman, with a twinkle in his eye, as he went on his way up the ditch, and the reporter pondered, as he walked back toward the city, if this would not be another chance for protection to American labor. The old man bad proba bly one vote at least. SWEARING AFTER A PRAYER. The Curious Mistake a Religious Lady Made In the Custom House. An elderly lady with delicate features and refined manners, says the New Y'ork World of July 15, entered the custom house yesterday with timid steps. It was evident that she had never been there before, and she seemed bewildered by the whirl, bustle and clatter of the rotunda. The doorkeeper directed her to the desk where she could transact her business. This was of a nature that required—as nearly everything at the custom house does —an oath. “You’ll have to swear to this, madam,” said the Deputy Collector to the old lady. Her pious countenance became very thoughtful and troubled at this announce ment. She said nothing, but anxiously watched the Deputy Collector make out her papers. This done he said: “Do you swear to this, madam ?” The old lady had clearly made up her mind that it was necessary for her to pass the ordeal. So, with a sweet but hesita ting voice, she replied: “God have mercy on me—Damn it.” The Deputy Collector was dumbfounded by this reply, but a glance at the lady as sured him of her sincerity. She had mis taken “swearing” for profanity, and had actually believed that it was necessary for her to utter a “swear word” In order to get her papers.
