A SAYEIjLi AND IHS TAILOR.
Ihe Son of Boston 1 * Ex-Mayor Ar
rested on His Father’s Advice.
Quite a sensation has been caused, says
a Boston special, by the fiery and seeni
in!y cowardly action on Monday of Fred
erick Prince, son of ex-Mayor Prince, in
striking down Mr. F. A. Messenger, the
senior member of the well-known Wash
ington street firm of Messenger Bros. &
Jones. The assault, which was unpro
voked, has caused Mr. Messenger, who is
between 60 and TO years of age, to be con
fined to his home in Melrose. He has had
a spinal trouble for several years, and his
fall under the blow dealt him by Prince
has produced an aggravation of the okl
trouble. Pending bis recovery' the mat
ter will rest until Friday, when it will
come up in the Criminal Court, but, in
the meantime, the local papers will avoid
publishing the facts.
Messenger Bros. & Jones about eight
een months ago mad ,* a pair of riding
breeches for young Prince. About a
vear ago Prince was married to Miss
Norman, she getting the blue blood and
he the money. Her do.*, er was 1100,000.
They went to Europe and Prince was
never asked to pay for the breeches till
three months ago. Two months aro he
was “dunned” again, and on Monday a
collector was sent with the message that
If there was anything unsatisfactory
about the breeches, another pair would
be-made, but It there was not the bill
would have to be paid at once. When
young Prince heard this he rushed out of
bis office, took a hack and drove to the
firm’s store. The first person be met in
side was the senior partner, to whom he
said: “What did you mean by sending
such an insolent message to me S'”
Mr. Messenger said he didn’t know any
thing about it. He Inquired, however,
and then said that bethought the message
quite justifiable.
“D<> you know what you are. Messen
ger?" demanded Prince.'
••I don’t know what you mean,” the old
gentleman replied; “I have known your
father from youth and it doesn’t become
you to address mo in that w av.’’
-You arc a damned insignificant tailor,”
said Prince, and he followed his remark
up with a blow, which felled Mr. Messen
ger to the floor. The latter’s brother
rushed to the rescup, but, having just re
covered irom an attack of diphtheria he
was very weak, and Prince chased him
twice around th store.
An employe then came forward and
said to the excited young man, “Do you
realize w hat you have done?”
”1 will ck u you all out,” he replied,
ani sprang at the clerk, hitting him a
heavy blow in the face.
Prince then left the store w ithout his
hat, stepped into his hack and was driven
home. When the senior partner recov
ered from his blow a little he called up n
ex-Mayor Prince and related the whole
story, but omitted his assailant’s name.
He asked Mr. Prince what he would do
under the circumstances. “Do!” said be,
-I would have the young scoundrel ar
rested without delay.” Mr. Messenger
then told Mr. Prince that his assailant
was his son. Mr. Prince seized his hat
and darted out, saving, ”1 will see him at
once.” Mr. Mess nger followed the ad
vice and had young Prince arrested.
Efforts have been made to induce Mes
senger not to prosecute, but he has de
clined all offers of comp omise. It is re
ported that young Mrs. Prince is almost
insane on account of the disgrace she feels
her husband has brought upon the family.
EARLY BHKKUH-LO ADEItS.
A Forgotten Invention that was Slighted
by the Government.
Since 1 am on the subject of gunnery,
says a correspondent of the New York
Tribune, 1 observe that breech-loading
guns were among the earliest American
manufactures. The true history of the
i'nittd States is not to be found in com
prehensive treatises like Hildreth and
Bancroft, bat in the collected lceal his
tories ot the country. An industrious
Irishman at Harper’s Ferry by the name
of Donahue has written the history of
that town in a little took set up at a
neighboring printing office, and it seems
that as early as the year ISIS John 11.
Hall, a native of the State of Maine, in
vented a breech-loading gun which he
patented and the government adopted the
gun and sent Mr. Hall to Harper’s Ferry to
take charge of th manufacture. This fac
tory took thenaineof Hall'sKifle "Works in
the course of time, anti Hall stayed there
as Superintendent till about IS4O, when
he removed to Missouri. These rifles are
to be found occasionally in the vicinity o;
Harper's Ferry, and are said to be among
the best guns in use. From that instabil
itv. however, which frequent changes in
our War Office influence, the breeen-load
ing gun was pushed out probably in John
Tyler’s administration. Minie rifles
were then made In II ill’s works. This
Mr. Hall had a son, Willard Hall, who
became Governor of Missouri. __ The
•on was born at Harper's Ferry,
it was in Hall’s rifle works- that
Kagi, the Second in command to John
Brown, took command at the time of the
insurrection. Being separated from the
larger number of his associates. Kagi and
his two or three men were driven out and
killed while attempting to cross the river.
When we remember that the German
needle gun was not invented by Jean
Nicolas Dreyse till 1827, when his iirst
moffel was shown, and that he did not
make any breech-loading needle gun till
IS’iC. and that it was not adopted by the
Prussian Government till I*4o, we Ameri
cans can lav claim to the original inven
tion of a breech-loader almost identical
with the German gun in construction and
preceding tne latter by eighteen years.
THIRTY-SIX YEARS IN CHAINS.
An Aged Insane Man Manacled for a
Generation.
A startling discovery was made near
this city t-r-day. says a Reading, Pa., spe
cial of Nov. 22, when it was learned that a
man 79 years of age and insane, had been
chained in a small log hut and fed by his
one-armed nephew fora period of about
thirty-six years. The unfortunate man Is
Nicholas Seidel, who. at one time, was a
noted giant in the mountains about three
miles south of Reading. Seidel’s mind be
came affected sixty years ago. When 32
vears of age he drew a circle in a large
room in his house and tramped around in
a beaten path day after day. If any one
accidentally got in his way the intruder
w as forcibly ejected. Thirty-six years ago
he became very violent, and rather thau
take him to an insane asylum, his family
eared for him at home. Finally a log hut
was built in the backyard where he was
xept alive. To prevent him from upset
ting the stove or escaping at night he was
fastened bv a chain.
The matter was brought to the atten
tion of the officials here representing the
State Board of Charities. A visit was
paid to the premises, but the man in
ckaree of the insane person would not al
low him to be seen. The visitor was told
to call during the Christmas holidays,
and by that period they would have
plenty of time to give him a presentable
appearance. The keeper of the insane
man admitted that the old man was in
the hut and chained, but that be was
kept comfortable; that a few years ago
be was violent and tore his clothes off,
but that now he was too weak to do any-
thing of that sort.
It is probable that the case will be re
ported to the State officials, who will
have the unfortunate taken to an insane
asvlum. There is a farm of eighty acres
in "the family, an I some say the* insane
man owns it, but the present proprietor
claims possession, as it was given him by
a deceased uncle.
Many draperies of autumn costumes
are joined to the front of the overskirt
with a band of ribbon, others with a fan
plaiting, and others still, crossed like a

ESCAPE OF GEN. MACEO.
Arrival in New York of the Cuban In
lureect who waa Refuted Eefur® in
Gibraltar.
A lithe, sinewy, splendidly moulded
mulatto, and a pale, thin, thoughtful
looking white man, says the New York
Herald of Nov. 23, sat in the reception
room of the Hotel Pravado, in West Ninth
street, last evening and discoursed to a
Herald reporter of tbeir recent escape
from a Spanish prison. Toe mulatto was
Gen Jose Maceo, and the white man Col.
N. Castillo. After a series of 6trange ad
ventures they arrived here from Bordeaux
on Thursday evening on the steamer
Chateau Tquem. The General was ac
companied by his wife and son, the latter
being a boy of sixteen years.
“Yes. sir,” began the General: “my
carter has been a singular one. Six years
ago, when the Cuban insurgeuts began to
become troublesome to tbe Spanish Gov
eminent, I was arrested and flung into
orison, together with several other well
known leaders. I was kept in confine
ment for nearly four years, but at last (In
1882) 1 contrived to escape. A gentleman
named Casteilo—not the Colonel here—
was with me. and we reached Gibraltar
together. There he left me and went to
France, but 1 remained, feeling sure that
I was perfectly safe. The Spanish Gov
ernment, however, found out my hiding
place and requested the English authori
! lies to arrest me and hand me over to
| Spain. Much to my surprise, the English
complied with the request and seDt me
back to my jailers. 1 protested on tbe
ground that rnj offense, being political,
was not extraditable, but all to no pur
pose. I was taken back to Spain and
locked up in the fortress at Palma.”
“It is understood. Genera!, that the
English authorities at Gibraltar were cen
sured by the home government lor sur
rendering you, aud that some r.t the offi
cials were dismissed in consequence of
their compliance with Spain’s request. Is
tLat rumor true ?”
“I have not heard it. All I know is that
England sent me back to my Spanish
prison. She had no right, but she had the
power to do so; consequently my com
plaints were utterly useless.
A VERY LUCKY ESCAPE.
“At Palma I remained a prisoner until
until Oct. 13 iast. I was not treated very
harshly. I had a servant to wait on me,
and was occasionally permitted to visit
my wife and son. who w ere lodging in the
town. Col. Castillo was my fellow pris
oner—he had been locked up for years be
fore I joined him—and had almost begun
to despair of ever gaining bis freedom.
At last word reached me from the cuter
world that a good friend was getting a
yacht ready' for my escape, and, sure
enough, in the early : days of October, a
tidy little craft pttf'iu at Palma, and a
message was sent to me that deliverance
lay now in n.y own hands. i told
the news to ray wife and son, and bade
them slip from the town at the firs*
opportunity and get on board. They did
so, and on the first dark night I followed
them with my friend Castillo. We put to
sea before morning and arrived in due
time at Algiers. There we were leted
and honored In many ways. The French
Socialists and a party of Spanish Liberals
presented me with a handsome sword and
paid many compliments to mv wife.
Thence we went to Marseilles, where we
wore serenaded and feted, aud finally
made our way to Bordeaux, whence, after
a few days’ rest, we set sail for this city.
We had a rough and long voyage across
the Atlantic, and felt thoroughly tired
whea we arrived here.
A LUCKLESS FAMILY.
”Your kindred have been somewhat
thinned by the late Cuban insurrection,
General?”
"Indeed they have. My father and five
brothers were killed in battle, another
brother died in prison, and still another
is at this moment in piison. Two others
are in Jamaica, a third is in New Orleans,
and the fourth is myself—eleven brothers
in all; rather a goodly brood, is it not?”
‘‘May a fresli insurrection be scon ex
pect'd in Cuba ?”
‘•Ab! who can tell?” and for the first
time during the conversation a bright
smiie illumined the biave, swarthy face.
‘T and my family have been insurgents
these many yi ars, but as to the future I
can tell you absolutely nothing. I have
formed no plans myself, and do not even
know how long' 1 shall remain in
America.”
SIX YEARS IN A SPANISH PRISON. |
Col. Castillo seemed too weary to take
any part iu the conversation, ilis eyes i
grew bright and he laughed lightly while
his comrade was speaking of their escape j
from Palma, but otherwise he showed no
signs of emotion. In reply to the reporter
he said merely that he bad been iu prison
lor six years, having been unable to make
his escape in ISS2, and that he owed his
deliverance to Gen. Maceo. As to his fu
ture movements he said that he was en
tirely undecided.
A'prominent Cuban of this city, who
was asked by the reporter if it was not
true that the English Government had
summarily dismissed some of the officials
at Gibraltar in consequence of their sur
render of Gen. Maceo in 18*2, said deci
sively: -Yes. sir, it is on open secret that
the English Government did do so. Ma
ceo's offense was political, and England
has always offered a home to political
refugees. The dismissal of the men was
not generally known, but it is a fact never
theless. Even in London there was no
small excitement over the matter. In
deed, the entire subject was discussed in
the House of Commons.”
CALHOUN'S REMAINS.
The Removal of the Old Tomb to Make
>Vay fora Handsome Sarcophagus.
A solemn and impressive event occurred
yesterday in the west cemetery of St.
Philip’s Church, says the Charleston A cuts
awl Courier of Nov. 14, where a group of
gentlemen gathered around the last rest
ing place of the remains of the great
South Carolina statesman, John C. Cal
houn, and reverently placed them in the
tomb where they will lie in future. The
sarcophagus, w hich was ordered by the
State of South Carolina, has arrived in
the city and is now in process of erection
in St. Philip’s cemetery. At 10 o’clock
yesterday morning, all the arrangements
having been made, the temporary brick
structure iu which the remains have been
deposited since March, I*so, was opened
and the casket removed. The brick vault
was then removed and the work of placing
the new tomb on the old loundation was
begun. The casket was fouud to be in
good preservation, and on it was found in
perfect form a wreath of cypress and
laurel leaves.

Deg Collars That Slay Also Masquerade
as Ladies’ Bracelets.
Philadelphia Times.
“What pretty silver bracelets,” chat
tered one of three young ladies looking
into the show window of a Chestnut
street store on Saturday atternoon; “but
thev are so large.”
“Gracious me, they are dog collars,
Sue!”
“So—they—are!” exclaimed Sue, in as
tonishment. “Let’s go inside and look at
them.”
‘•There has been anew departure in dog
collars,” said the clerk, after the young
ladies had satisfied their curiosity and
gone out. “A fashionable lady can also
use her dog’s collar as a bracelet, as the
new collar has a sliding arrangement that
allows of its being made small enough to
fit the wrist. The idea was brought out
by a very wealthy widow, one of our cus
tomers, who dotes upon her Italian
hound. She has had about a dozen com
bination collar bracelets made, both In
gold and silver. The diamonds in one of
them are valued at S6OO. When she is pre
paring to go out with the dog she eener
erally lays the collar bracelets in a row
before the animal, and he selects the one
he is to wear. He is a very intelligent
hound. Dog jewelry is becoming more
elaborate and costly than ever, with gold
plated leading chains, solid gold anklets
and blanket monograms.

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1884.
LITTLE DEER AND WHITE EAGLE
A Half-Breed Indian and His White
Slave.
Northford is a rural hamlet a few miles
from New Haven, says a Hartford
(Conn.) special, and even in thickly
settled Connecticut has but a scattered
population of farmers. Their petty crops
are in and they have abundant time to
perch on cracker barrels In the village
store, whittle pinesticis, and discuss the
mystery which h&6 recently arisen in
their midst. On the North Guilford pike
is a tumble-down old red house, into
which two strange occupants have just
moved their scanty belonging. The man
calls himself “Little Deer,”and purports to
be a full-blooded Icdian.but there are stray
traces of the negro in his face and ways.
However, he betrays'lndian charactent
i tics in his aversion to labor and his
roving habits, w ith gun or fishing-rod in
band. He is a dead shot, and reaps some
profit from his captures of small game
with which the region abounds. He has
lived in the county for two or three years,
and public attention was first attracted
to him last December, when he inhabited
a rude hut on Totoket hill, a mountainous
elevation in the adjacent town of North
Guilford. In the month named Eldredge F.
JohnsoD, a well-to-do farmer residing in
the vicinity, was mysteriously murdeied,
and suspicion rested on Little Deer. No
proofs could be discovered, and, after
vainly questioning the lellow and getting
only surly monosyllabic replies, the
autnorities turned to other clews.
Inhabiting the hut with him at that
time was a young woman whom no one
recollected ever having seen until the
authorities visited the place. He called
her White Eagle, and claimed that she
was his wife. She is described as a tall
blonde, quite pretty, with large blue eyes,
fair skin, and pearly teeth. She refused
to answer any questions at the time of
the inquiry into the murder, and her hus
band gave the impression that she was a
mute. Where the couple came from or
how loDg they had inhabited the hut on
Totoket Mountain w as never ascertained.
TheNorthiord gossips have been more
fortunate in probing the mystery, and to
their surprise have discovered’ that the
woman is not dumb and that she speaks
English, although with the errors of an
uneducated person. She has been given
occasional work by the farmers’ wives in
the neighborhood, and their persistent
questioning has yielded fruit, although
the poor woman is reluctant to speak of
hersell and manifests great tear of her
lord and master. She says that in tbe
old bouse where they live, which was
years ago the home of the ancestors of
Gov. Hoadly of Ohio, the greatest destitu-
\ tion prevails. The couple have no furni
: ture, and eat and sleep on the floor, with
I only a few* okl rags for covering. Food is
always scarce, and she seldom has a full
! meal excepting when given her by those
who employ her. Little Deer treats her
I brutally at times, yet with this and her
! miserable life present and before her she
j ictuses to change her condition, or leave
him. The fact appears to be that she has
been so long under brutal subj ection that
she fears him abjectly. Regarding her
past, it can only be ascertained that her
mother is living, and that she has a
brother who is a teacher in or near West
field, Mass. She is 22, and Little Deer
about ten years older.
The conclusion reached by the North
ford people is that the affair is the result
of a disgraceful runaway match. A few
years ago there occured in Western Mas
sachusetts two cases of elopement of
white girls with negroes employed on
their fathers farms, and it is possible
that this is one of the couples. Since
tbeir affairs have been aired lately, the
man has intimated that he married the
girl in Canada. Direct questioning he
resents or maintains moody silence. Th?
authorities have been requested to investi
gate the mystery, but have no ground
upon which to take action, unless the
man is detected in some violation of law.
He cannot be reached under the vagrancy
act, as he refrains from asking assistance
from any one. Itis brutality to bis white
slave, ii' he can be caught in the act, is
what the authorities will rely upon for a
prosecution. Once brought before the
village court there will be some opportu
nity of ascertaining the facts and releasing
the woman from her wretched life.
BIRDS STRIKING LIGHTHOUSES.
Ornithologist* Giving Different Expla
nation For This.
Enthusiastic young students of orni
thology, says the New York Times of
Nov. 21, were gathered in the rooms of
the Linneau Society of New York, at No.
11 WestTwenty-nintn street, last evening,
to listen to papers prepared by Mr. L. S. I
Foster on “The Coreiatiou ot Birds and
Lighthouses in Spanish America.” Mr.
Fester announced the method by which
he had obtained his material. On April 25
last he had seut a letter to each one of the
253 lighthouses on the Spanish Ameri
can coast, requesting all possible informa
tion concerning the birds which struck
against them. The lighthouse keepers
went to work with such enthusiasm and
answered his inquiries with such willing
ness and accuracy that blank circulars
were sent on July 25 to be filled out with
the measurements of birds, the time of
dav, night, and year of their striking,
and the conditions of the weather and
heights of lighthouses.
Most of the keepers agree that the lights
attracted birds to them, especially the
tallest lighthouses, like St. Vincent’s,
which is 040 feet in height; Santa Maria,
388 feet, and one in San Lorenzo, at Pert
Callao, 980. One keeper in his report men
tioned that it was not an unusual thing
for as many as 500 or 000 birds to be
hilled in a single night. From the posi
tion of the lighthouses which were struck
most frequently Mr. Foster drew the con
clusion that in' migrating “an enorm. us
wave of birds reaches the Cuban shores
from Florida and the Bahama Islands, so
great as to render insignificant the
longitudinal migration from Florida west
ward along the northern coast of the
Gulf of Mexico.”
In the discussion which followed Dr.
Merriam said that the opinion expressed
by the keepers that birds struck the
hightest lighthouses most was contrary to
the experiments abroad, especially those
made by the Germans. Birds, said he, in
fair weather fly from a mile to a mile and
a half high, and never strike except dur
ing storms or in foggy weather, when they
fly so low as, indeed, to strike rather the
lighthouses which arc least in height.
He thought it a mistake to say that birds
fly in waves; rather they follow certain
defiuite lines. To ascertain the position
and direction of these lines was the diffi
culty.
Mr. William Dutcber had observed the
Fire Island Lighthouse. The weather
had been lair tbis year, and as a con
sequence only al>out 48 birds had struck.
These hail no" iood in their stomachs, and
for that reason he supposed than to be
migrating from a distant country. The
light, he said, at a certain distance looked
like a star, and he thought it impossible
that it would attract birds down, because
it would be unseen by them unless they
were flying low and the lighthouse should
happen to be in their line of flight. The
latter supposition he believed the only
reason tor their striking at all.
How Marriages Aie Made in Brittany.
St. James' Gazette.
One ot the causes of Strauss’ remarka-
Lle popularity in Vienna, as lately shown
on the occasion of his anniversary festi
val. is the incitement which his waltzes
have contributed to the formation of fre
quent dancing parties, with the result of
bringing young people together and, as a
consequence, of promoting matrimony.
The Viannese say that he is the greatest
match maker in Vienna. “It was to the
sound ot one of your waltzes,” Count
O’Sullivan, the husband of Charlotte Wot
ter, the distinguished actress, wrote to
him on the occasion of his fete, “that 1
first placed my hand in that of my wife;”
and the composer has had hundreds of
similar letters. .
The Bretons of Penze and the adjoin
ing parishes have, according to one of
the French papers, a Michaelmas custom
which renders them quite independent
of the musical and terpsichorean aids to
matrimony fouud so useful in Vienna.
On Michaelmas Dav all the young women
in the district who desire to enter the
married state assemble on a particular
bridge, tricked out in all their finery, and
take their seat on the parapet. The eligi
ble young men from I'erze and the neigh
boring parishes presently make their ap
pearance on the scene. They scan the
features of the seated damsels, tender
glances are exchanged; and when at
length a swain has fixed his choice on a
paiticular nymph, he approaches her and
offers her his hand to help her to the
ground. If she accepts his hand lor this
particular service, she accepts it for life.
The parents are never very far off on these
occasions, and if they raise no objection,
the voung couple 6hake hands and the
i wedding soon lollows.
A BRITISH COLUMBIA GORILLA.
Description of a Strange Creature Cap
lured Near Yale.
In the immediate vicinity of No, 4 tun
nel, situated 6ome twenty miles above
this village, w rites a Yale, British Colum
bia, correspondent of the British Colonist,
are bluffs of rock which have hitherto
been unsurmouctable, but on Monday
morning last were successfully scaled by
Mr. Ontlemonk’s employes on the regular
train from Lytton, assisted by Mr. Coster
ton, the British Columbia Express Com
pany's messenger, and a number of gen
tlemen from Lytton and points east of
that place, who, after considerable trouble
and perilous climbing, succeeded in cap
turing acreature which mav truthfully be
called half man and half beast. “Jacko,”
as the creature has been called by
its capturers, is something of tbe gorilla
type, standing about 4 feet 6 inches in
height, and weighing 127 pounds. He has
long, black, strong hair, and resembles a
human being, with one exception, his en
tire body, excepting his hands (or paws)
and feet, are covered with glossy hair
about one Inch long. His forearm is much
longer than a man’s forearm, and he pos
sesses extraordinary strength, as he will
take hold of a stick and break it by
wrenching or twisting it. which no man
living could break iu the same way.
Since his capture he is very reticent, only
occasionally uttering a noise which is half
bark and half growl. He is. however, be
coming daily more attached to his keeper.
His favorite food so far is berries, and
he drinks fresh milk with evident relish.
By advice of Dr. Hannington raw meats
have been withheld from Jacko, as the
doctor thinks it would have a tendency to
make him savage. The mode of capture
was as follows: Ned Austin, the engineer,
on coming in sight of the bluff at the
eastern end of the No. 4 tunnel, saw what
he supposed to be a man lying asleep in
close proximity to the track, and as quick
as thought he blew the signal to apply
the brakes. Tbe brakes were instantly
applied, and in a few seconds the train
was brought to a standstill. At this
moment the supposed man sprang up,
and, uttering a sharp, quick bark, began
to climb the steep bluff'. Conductor It. J.
Craig and Express Messenger Consterton,
followed by baggagemen and brakemen,
jumped from the train, and, know ing they
were some twenty minutes ahead of time,
immediately gave chase. After five min
utes of perilous climbing, the then sup
posed demented Indian was corraled on a
projecting shelf or rock, where he could
neither ascend nor descend. The qnery
now was how to capture him alive, which
was quickly decided by Mr. Craig, who
crawled on his hands and knees until he
was about forty feet above the creature.
Taking a small piece of loose rock he let
it fall, and it had the desired effect of
rendering poor Jacko incapable of resist
ance for time, at least. The bell rope
was then brought up, and Jacko was now
lowered to terra firma. Auer firmly bind
ing him and placing him in the baggage
car, ‘-off brakes” was sounded, and the
train started for Yale. At the station a
large crowd who had heard of the capture
by telephone from Spuzztim Flat were as
sembled, each one anxious to have the
first look at the monstrosity, but they
were disappointed, as Jacko had been
taken off at the machine shops and placed
in charge of his present keeper.
The question naturally arises, how came
the creature where it was* first seen by
Mr. Austin? From bruises shout it's
bead and body, and apparent soreness
since its capture, it is supposed that
Jacko ventured too near the bluff, slip
ped, fell, and lay where found until the
sound of the rushing train aroused him.
Mr. Thomas White and Mr. Gouin, C. F„
as well as Mr. Major, who kept a small'
store about half a mile west of the tunnel
during the past two vears, nave mention
ed having seen a curious creatuie at
different points between camps thirteen
and seventeen, but no attention was paid
to their remarks, as people came to the
conclusion that they had either seen a
bear or a stray Indian dog. Who can
unravel the mystery that surrounds
Jacko? Docs he belong to a species
hitherto unknown in this country, or is he
really what the trainmen first thought he
was, a crazy Indian.
A SCIENCE OF MEMORY.
How a Washington Professor Cures Pu
pils of Forgetfulness.
Washington has a “teacher of mem
ory,” who says: “In a few lessons I ena
ble one to memorize the most difficult
things without au effort.”
“How can that be done?” asked a Star
man.
“Ob, it’s a matter of association ac
cording to a system I have worked upon
for 25 years. It is all based upon the al
phabet and numbers. I take a person
and in a few hours get them so that they
can repeat or reproduce a long poerii
which 1 have read to them twice, or, at
most, three times. They can repeat it
backward or forward or give yon any line
you call for by number. 1 bad a boy
about 12 years old, who, alter learn
ing the system, went to hear Beecher
and Cook lecture and afterward repeated
the lectures to an audience without hav
ing taken a note. He repeated Beecher's
lecture at the Young Men’s Christian
Association rooms on New Y'ork avenue.
Of course be did not give every word the
lecturer used, but he covered every point
in its regular order, just as the speaker
had done, curtailing it sufficiently to be
able to give iu a half hour what it took an
hour to deliver originally.
“Do many come to you to have their
faculties cultivated?”
“Yes, a great many of ail classes. Some
students, reporters—more particularly
official reporters ot the Senate and llou9e—
lawyers and preachers. Preachers and
lawyers particularly; the former to ac
quire an aptness in memorizing their ser
mons and the latter to memorize author
ities and dates. Orators also, who mem
orize their speeches.
“Then there is another class—the de
partment clerks and persons preparing
for civil service examinations. Before
going iu for an examination many of
them come to me to learn to memorize
dates and events, location ot rivers, his
torical, statistical and practical facts,
etc.
“I had a navy officer here not long ago
who was preparing for an examination
lor promotion, and he perfected himself
in the system so that he could without
difficulty remember anything he desired.
“There is an old lad’y, between 70 and
80years > Id, who, with her daughter, has
taken instructions, and she says that she
finds no difficulty in remembering and re
peating all that she read 9. She says she
can take two poems she has read and re
peat them alternately, a line from each.”
H2S WINTER WARDROBE.
How John Maloney Utilized the Recent
Presidential Contest.
Keio York Herald.
“Yerra, Mrs. Maloney, but ’tis the foine
wash ye have this blessed mornin’. God’s
good to ye to have yer man so well pur
vided agin the wintrier.”
And Mrs. McGuirk caught hold ot the
hvdrant and peered through the opening
it hall filled in the fence between the
front and rear Mott street tenements.
Mrs. Maloney looked up from the clothes
basket and wiped bot j hands on her ging-
ham apron.
“Deet an’ yer spakin’ the thruth, Mrs.
McGuirk,” said she, “an’ ’tis little he’d
have av he hadn’t turn politeeshun.
’Twus a month age—for all the wurld the
noight they waked Jerry Donovan—whin
John kem home an’ axed for a clane
shurt. Faith he thin hadn’t the second
shurt till his back. ’Twas well he
knowed it, too, an’ ses he, ‘Bridget,’ ses
he, ‘l’ve an idaiaii.’ ‘flould fast till it,
J6hn,’ ses 1, ‘fur yer not thrubled wid’em

a Brigadeer General. T know what
to do. I’ll turn out.’ ‘ls it sojerin’
ve’d be at?’ ses I, ‘Divil a bit
av it,’ ses he. ‘ ’Tis a politeeshun I’ll
turn.’ An’ since that he’s been doin’ lit
tle but paradin’ and paradin’ till me
heart nearly bruck. But, faith, he didn’t
let grass grow till his heels, and niver a
week passed but he was home wid anew
shurt and God knows what. So now ’tis
a dozen 6hurts he have, six av thim
marked B. and L, and the udthers C. and
H.”
Mrs. McGuirk let go the hydrant and
brushed back her hair. She looked mad.
“So that’s it,” said she; “an’ a good for
nothin’ my man is—bad cess till him.
Sure, he’s a politeeshun, too, and noight
afther noight he kem home wid his head
full av beer, and he a-shoutin’ lor Jim
Blaine, the omauhaun. What the divil
did Jim Blaine do for him? And sorra a
stitch did be fetch till the house but a
couple av ould sojer caps the shape av tin
kittles, and a sthroipe av ile cloth about
his neck that wusn’t the soize of a dure
mat. ’Tis the poor politeeshun he’ll make
at that rate.”
Then Mrs. McGuirk went off fuming,
while Mrs. Maloney decorated the clothes
line with campaign uniforms.
Ladles frequently tie a bow of ribbon to
their watches in lieu of a chain.
A BATTLE WITH JACK RABBITS.
I’erlJon* and Exciting Sport In tbe Wild
Weit—The Denver Jack Kabblt Club.
Denver’s Jack Rabbit Club, an associa
tion which annually makes an excursion
and has for its object the keeping down of
the census of the rabbit race in Colorado,
says the Tribune , returned a few days
ago from its animal-slaving trip, and its
members have settled down to their regu
lar business. This year’s party included
Dr. Burchard. Justice Jeffries,’Constable
Charley Nadler, the Hon. Henry Suess,
John Kieffer. Max Neef, the Hon. J. C.
Kuner, Dr. Rogers, W. Y. Sedani, Henry
Mollendein, Mr”. Gromm. William Nord
lob, Mr. Smith, Dr. W. Wylede Wymetal,
and some &ix or eight others.
The ground selected for the battle this
year was in San Luis Park. The party
left this city in a special car, which was
well stocked wirh demijohns, wicker
baskets, kegs, and cigar boxes, none of
the packages being empty or taken along
for pure ornamentation.’ The departure
was made under cover of night, and tbe
following day they arrived at Wittemore s
ranch at Villa Grove, where a head
quarters was established. The following
day a little desultory shooting was in
dulged in, but the grand central hunt was
set for the second day.
The grand central hunt is always, of
course, the principal feature of these ex
cursions, and is iu its details very care
fully arranged and carried out. Its
arrangement consists, first, in the choice
of a Captain who commands the whole
affair, that honor this year falling upon
Mr. Suess. Capt. Suess divided his com
pany into two parties, with a leader for
each, and with each party was a horse
man provided with immense bags for
game. In the rear of all were two wagons,
which were to take the game from the
horsemen as soon as it accumulated.
Capt. Sue3B formed his company into
two rauk9, headed by its leader, and at
the word of command the company
started forward to the scene of carnage.
As they approached tbe rabbit ground the
two lines diverged to the right and left,
marching in a diagonal course each way,
and soon enclosing upon one side an area
embracing several acres. As the lines
advanced they lengthened, until at the
proper signal’the leaders directed their
course toward each other, and an im
mense circle was formed which, gradual
ly narrowing, corralled an army of rab
bits which had been startled by the tramp
of the enemy, who had encompassed their
city as the walls of Babylon were once
encompassed.
Then came the moment of excitement,
and each man jKasped his gun, fearing
that he would get nervous and fire before
he ought to, and possibly shoot a neighbor
over on the other side of the circle.” The
rule is that the first shot shall be fired by
the man toward whom a rabbit runs, anil
in the event of his failure to hit it. the
next man takes a pop at the jack, and so
on.
This rule was as strictly adhered to as
possible; but after tbe first two shots the
game ran in such a lively style that tbe
country all around was ringing with the
report of musketry in a very few minutes,
and the.ground was strewn with dead
rabbits sci rapidly that the riders’were
kept busy picking them up while riding
around like crazy cavalrymen.
The result of the hunt was some 1,200
rabbits, to say nothing of a small punc
ture in the forehead of Johnny Kieffer,
who caught a stray shot, and'who is as
foud of the scar as a one-legged soldier is
of bis missing limb.
The result of this year's excursion is
about the same in point of dead as was
that of iast year, but the same result
took longer time by a day last year.
The private shoot of the members on the
first day amounted to naught, as they left
their game out all night and the coyotes
came and devoured it.
A LONE SOUTH CAROLINIAN
Who is Found Among ihe Cowboys at
St. Louis.
A St. Louis Republican reporter learned
that a gentleman representing South
Carolina in the Cattlemen’s Convention
had reported for duty, and concluding
that delegates from the old cotton States
were as much of a rarity as human
charity, made a break for ye South Caro
linian to inquire wherefore South Caro
lina would be represented in a cattlemen's
convention. In answer to his queries, the
gentleman said his name was A. M.
Speights, and that the live,'progressive
Governor ot South Carolina has seen
proper to take interest in this great
convention on general principles,
the principal one being that South
Carolina should not be left in any
thing. He said that South Caroliria
prided herself upon her manufactories of
cotton, which hai made greater strides
than in any other State, North or South;
that the increase in the past three years
in cotton manufactures had been over
175 per cent., which laid over Georgia
aud discounted the New England States.
And on this subject Mr. Speights talked
voluminously ami intelligently of the ad
vantages of the South for manufacturing
cotton over New or Old England, claim
ing over New England a profit ol over
$25 per bale and SSO over England.
Tne gentleman said that the coast of
South Carolina, from the Savannah river
to Georgetown (or I'eedeeriver), with the
innumerable cane swamps that “pierce”
tne State for many miles, afforded the
finest pastures in North America for
cattle. Said he: “The cane is always
green aud succulent, and the grasses in
the swamps are rich food for cattle, and
there is sufficient for untold numbers of
cattle; and then there i9 always a close
market at Charleston and Savannah and
l’ort Royal, with steamers north and to
the West India Islands.” Continued the
gentleman: “South Carolina came out
of the war with her newly-discovered
phosphate beds as a God-given payment
for her slaves, lier magnificent eiimate
induced Northern and New England
capitalists to come down and in
vest in cotton spinning, and the
gallant little State is waltzing a
german to the tune of ptosperity in that
line. Her agricultural interests have
grown beyond the expectations of even
the noble AVade Hampton, and her educa
tional privileges, thanks to the broad
views the present Governor set on foot
when he was school commissioner lour
years ago, is just a little ahead of any
‘Other man’ State, or will be in a few
years. Having succeeded in all these
things, South Carolina is now at the front
offering practical cattlemen the best pas
turage on earth for a million head of cat
tle, and she expects to suceed as well as
9he has in manufactures and agriculture.
Excelsior is her motto now; perched on
the tassel of the palmetto.
“How will South Carolina vote on the
‘great trail’ question ? I represent a State
rights community myself and can’t recog
nize the right ot the government to make
a trail through a State, but no doubt it
would be a good scheme if the States
would permit it.”
An M. P.’s Maiden Speech.
A laughable anecdote is told of the late
Mr James Johnston, M. P. for Sandwich,
who was in Parliament at the commence
ment of the present century. On first
taking his seat in the House he is said to
have framed a “maiden” speech, in the
course of which he expected to rival
Demosthenes; but it so happened that,
though the speech was transferred from
his hand to the lining of his hat. yet the
perspicuity of utterance fled. He rose,
essayed to speak, but in vain, and he
reseated himself in silent dismay, without
articulating a word. The members of the
Eccentrics’ Club, of which Mark Simple
was the chairman, taking advantage of
this unfortunate failure, caused papers to
be printed, circulated, and, as was then
the fashion in London, carried through
the streets of Westminster and the city,
on the top of which appeared in large
type, “The maiden speech of James
JohnstOD, Esq., M. P. for Sandwich, as
delivered yesterday in Parliament.” Tae
rest of the paper was blank. The wife of
the honorable gentleman heard the outcry
as she sat at her window in Great George
street, and exulting in the consequence
and popularity of her husband, instantly
called lor her footman, and desired he
would purchase some of the papers of the
poor man in the street. He having
obeyed her commands, immediately pre
sented them to the lady, who, on viewing
the blank paper, exclaimed with great
violence. “Why, Richard,you are a fool;
you have brought nothing!” “No. my
lady,” dryly replied the servant, “It is
my master, for he said nothing.”

GEN. LOGAN A POOR MAN
How He Was Taken in by a Mining
Sharp—Defeat Leaves Him In a Very
Deplorable Condition.
Gen. Logan, according to all reports,
says a Washington special, is left in a
very deplorable position by the failure of
the Republican ticket. He has no pros
pect ot being re-elected to the Senate, and
his term will expire on March 4. A
prominent officeholder in this city who is
an intimate friend of Gen. Logan said to
the Globe correspondent to-day: “Some
people seem to imagine that Gen. Logan is
a rich man. On the contrary, he is very
poor. About ten years ago he owned
property and business investments in and
around Chicago that were worth about
$150,000. Since then he has practically
lost everything. His investments were
lost in the panic of 1873, and he has now
nothing to depend upon outside his salary
of $5,0C0 per year as Senator, which will
soon cease. Logan is a lawyer by pro
fession, but he has not practiced at the
bar lor many years, and he has no reputa
tion in the legal line. He is not a good
business man. An illustration will suffice
to explain what I meaD. Several years
ago he owned a farm in Illinois which, for
all I know, may still be in his possession.
Someone told him that coal lay under
neath this farm and he became convinced
of tbe fact. I told him that the geologi
cal survey of the State conclusively
proved that there could not be coal on his
property, out a rascally contractor came
along who insisted to the contrary. He
said that he would drill down after coal
on tbe farm and if he did not find it he
would charge nothing. If he was suc
cessful he was to be paid $6,000. Logan
thought that this was a good offer and he
accepted it. The lellow ran his drill
down about 300 feet, found nothing and
“salted” the hole with coal. He brought
specimens around to the general, who
paid him $6,000, and the rascal decamped.
At an expense of about $20,000 the
general caused a shaft to be sunk, and
then the fraud was discovered. The
swindler was never found afterward, and
Senator Logan bore the los9. He has
absolutely no resources, and I don’t know
what he intends to do for a living after
his term expires.”
A Singular Execution In Egypt.
London ilornina AVtrs.
A singularly primitive way of carrying
out a sentence of capital punishment was
witnessed a few days ago at Koneh, the
capital of the province between this and
Assiout. According to the law here tbe
sentence can be remitted at the desire of
the murdered man’s family, their forgive
ness being probably purchased. In this
instance tbe prisoner’s family had sub
scribed £SO toward £IOO, which would
have been accepted had the balance been
forthcoming from his friends. However,
it wms not, so at oa. m. the condemned
man was led to some very rude gallows,
under which he sat down in the most un
concerned way, drinking water, and alto
gether behaving as if he wa9 merely a
spectator instead of tbe principal actor in
the tragedy. He put the rope around his
own neck, tbe knot being exactly at the
back. An English officer in the Egyp
tian army suggested that it would be
much better under the ear, but his inter
ference was rejected.
The family of the unfortunate man
then advanced and implored his liberation
at the fcet of the mother and brother oi
the victim. The latter was inclined to
clemency, but the former was quite obdu
rate, shouting loudly that as he had killed
her son he must die for it. These parleys
lasted over an hour. It is the custom
that the nearest male relative of the mur
dered man performs the office ol execu
tioner; so at last the prisoner quietly
stepped on to a stool not two feet high,
which the brother pushed away from
under him. Of course this only caused
him to be strangled. Ins legs dragging on
the ground, so a bystander took bold of
them and lifted them up. while the execu
tioner, amid the howls and groans of the
crowd, shortened the rope and then had
to escape as best he could.
