variably puzzles all the restof the victims.
Yon may be sure, therefore, that when
Hermann announced a performance last
Sunday evening at Wallack’s Theatre lor
the benefit of the Cbarleetion sufferers,

Suiciiased the novelty aud which has
been the sensation in the Eden Musse lor j

in a light drapery; a rug was placed on

Chair, 'iheu Hermann enveloped her in a
thin but not gauzy dark green sheet that
completely covered her. wuiie revealing
the contour ol her figure. In Pans alums

A TSIiUOI* STAINED SITE.
One of the Historic Spots in the
Viuinity of l larkesvilli*.
Near Clarkesville is pointed out ihe
Spot where once stood the famous chop
ped oak tree. The spot lies witbin 4 miles
o! the Cherokee line. The gigantic pio
portions of ihe tree rendered it a conspicu
ous and prominent object, just such a
andmark as would serve fora moeilng
The spreading branches of the
tree made it a desirable retreat from the
beat of the day. Asa consequence the
Irails stretching out Irom the tree led to
the various Indian villages.
In later years, when the pale faces be
gan to press in upon the Indians, the iai
lei made many loruys upon the unwel
come intruders. The old oak tree was the
headquarters lrom which the red men
stall' and out upou their mission of exter
mination. Back to the same spot they
came when their work was done to re
count their adventures and to diapluy
their trophies. The captives were taken
to the same spot, where they were sub
jected totbe most excruciating torture.
It was out of these raids that, the tree
Secured t's name. The youug braves
were always contentious as to who bad
won most scalps, and disputes arose over
tbe number won by each. One young
brave, advancing to tue oak tree wi'tb his
hatchet, made ind. n tut ions to correspond
with the scalps he bad taken. The other
braves adopted his idea, and ever alter
the score was thus kept upon the tree. It
was thus known us the Chopped Oak.
When at last the Indians were forced to
retire, and the tree was included witntii
white territory, the spot retained usuliar
acter as a station. People passing trout
east to west would halt beneath It i shade,
nd travelers would baste to gain it ere
the darkness closed in upon them.
Among those woo frequently had occa
sion to pass that way wns a wealthy
South Carolinian untiled Roper, who had
teveral speculations In tne Western
wilds. On one occasion Roper left home
with several thousand dollars upon his
person. He was accompanied by bis
son-in-law, a man nuned Ward. The
two passed through to tlir West, trims,
acusl their business, and on their return
stopped over night at the Chopped Oak.
Tne two men drank considerably, and
at last fell back in a drunken stupor.
Borne time during tbe nignt ltopor, who
was very thirsty, got un aud went down
to the spring near bv, and ialit down to
lap up tbe water. As he did so nu was
dealt it murderous blow on the haot, of the
bead by Ward, who had followed bun
stealthily. Toe murderer W"ut through
bis vioiim’s pockets tor $1,51)0 aud then
bid the body behind a log.
Tb! took place on Thursday night.
Friday ami Saturday |>as r' bv saw the
team standing tinder the oak. Wbeliever
they made an aiiempt to approaoa it.
tney would be driven hack by a ferocious
dog. On Sunday the <lng seemed to have
lobt its ferocity, am) when a venturesome
neighbor dtew near, the dog retreated to
Ibe spring. Win n that point was reached
tee dog kept on to the tree beyond, where,
ooverrd by brush and leaves, the dead
Ik dy of the wagoner w.io found.
In the meantime Ward, who rode back
to his borne in Bouth Carolina in the
greatest haste, called upon Mrs. Roper,
and told her l but, Her husband had sent
bun to get tbe rest of 'be money. They
were engaged in an excellent trade, and
the money was needed. Mis. lioper
handed over the money without hesitation
sad Ward again disappeared.
'n time the murder of Roper became
known, ami the conductor Ward stamped
him as the murderer. Some years after a
i party of eouth a-olinlane met a mail
wno bore such a striking resemblance to
Ward ilia' they a osted him. and took
b oi to llabersoam coitiny for trial. The
man denied his identity with Ward, re
fused to recognize Mrs. Wan! and her
children, as well as ibe entire relationship
ot toe family. But these persons all
swore positively to tne prisoner as being
Ward, and be was convicted.
Un the gallows Ward still protested
that he was not the man, and called upon
the people to remember his words. Noth
ing was ever afterward heaid of the
double, if such theie was. The Chopped
Oak has since passed away, but the spot
is stii! looked upon witn awe.
GOSSIP OF THE Cl j LBS.
Mackey as the Latest Lion at, tlie
Cnrleton.
New York, Oct. 2.—The California
millionaire, Mr. .John W. Mackey, la the
latest lion in tbe fold at the Carleton Club.
Unpretentious, modest ana retiring, look
ing like a contented, thoughtful man,
with close-cropped, light hair, carefully
trimmed moustache, reddish, plain face
and an air that lie would feel more com
fortable in his shirt sleeves than ‘‘dressed
up” in the regulation cutaway. Mr.
Mackey w mid uoi attract tbe attention
h" does it iie were not a millionaire, whose
striking “it rich” when on tbe point of
staivalion, and whose wife manages, by
her receptions and expenditures, to keep
hersell the talk in London and Paris,
because beyond these 'acts there is noth
ing about him to en.ist interest any more
tnun there is any commonplace, ordinary
•'ey ryday” man. But being a million
aire, he at racts attention in a certain
c uss. In the Carleton he is always at
tended by Tom Ochiltree and Carry Je
rome, v, bo amuse him by their stories
ami io turn laugh at his “chestuuis.” If
he weie poor, Mackey would be consid
ered a go >d lell >w, because he enjoys a
cigar aud will take a diink, hut being a
millionaire, he is proclaimed a prince,
lie l® not consideieii hi i t am in business,
but ra u r luck i, ami me late of Keene Is
predicted for him unless he shows more
strength than he i as or surrounds him
seil with abler counsellors. He Is
not much ot a club man, however,
and only looks in to please tue “hoys,”
and John Cbumbeilain, who is the ani
maiing genius of the club. Mackey or
ders a table set lor bait a dozen or more
in one ot ibe windows c; Hie cafe at tbe
Hoffman House, giving ••</rtn til>mch (and
a douceur) to the head waiter, anil he in
vltes tl.at number to dine with him from
among the first, congenial ones he meets.
In the eiul). unless lie prearranged hts
dinners, he would likely lie compelled to
nave the same set every meal, lie royal
ly dispenses his hospitality, listening to
the jokes and repartee with a quiet smile.
It is rumored he is the linaucial back r of
Ed ward •dikes, but it is significant that
they’re seldom seen together.
Dixey, who is not in the least changed
by his London experience, is always sui
n' umlod when he appears iu the Lotos or
the Lambs, because he always has a good
story to tell. His favorite time of coming
in is tnidnigb’, after the play, and he will
remain as long as anyone else will, as he
stays all the morning aud all day in rainy
weather.
Mr. T. Henry French, the handsome,
youthful and wealthy manager of the
Grand Opera House, owner ot ail the
lo.oe successful plays, is an active mem
ber oi tbe Lotos, the Lambs, tlie Jockey
Cub and th<- Actors’-FumL lie means
to be but always isn’t sociable, because,
as someone says, no “don’t know, vou
know.” With his wealth, which in
sures success, he is destined to become a
power in theatrical afiairs; indeed, he is
ibat already. His father is the well
known piny publiener; ho is the junior
member ot the firm, 110 is better known
as a puldi-her; bis yellow covered play
books are known the world over, to ama
teurs as well as professionals. Ills eve
glasses and smoot,g rosy features give
btm more a literary aspect, than that ol
a bustling business mail who never
misses a point and is al wa> s seeking one.
He has recently pm chased tbe steam
yacht Lorndo, and it Is his whim (and
advertisement) now to go and meet all
the theatrical celebrities in the bay. He
will receive Wilson Barrett when lie ar

A CHILD BO iN DRUNK.
A Jersey Youngster in a Perpetual
State ol Intoxication.
From the Yno Yo>Jr World •
The infant son of a well known citizen
of Westfield, N. J.. though but just large
enough to walk aud talk, appears and
acts like au intoxicated person. A local
physician in conversation with a report
er gave a hist try of the case. It seems
that tbs parents were very exemplary
young people, and began their married
iile without a cloud to dim their lutuie.
No one in the town hud better habits then
the young husband, but some months
alter Ins marriage be lapsed a little from
the path of strict temperance.
One winter evening the man went from
his home os'ensiblv “to utcli with a sick
member o the village lodge.” lie really
visited Sam Goscbalk’s tavern. TBs
trusting wtie discovered at!) o’clock that
her husband had forgotten to purchase
meat lor breaklast ana she went to the
market. A stormv wind was blowing and
the snow was tailing, hut as she pas-ed
tbe not'd the sound of a man's voice in
soug came to her ears. She listened but
a moment. There was no mistaking ner
husbaiiu’s voice, and scarcely knowing
what she did, she looked in at the bar
room window and saw her husband there
in a stale of bcasily intoxication.
Some time alter this liltle episode a
son was born to the parents—a tine,
to altby infant, bright anil eomelv. Sev
eral months later, when the child began
to walk and talk, they tnok him to the
physician. The little one could not walk
without staggering In a most unseemly
and ludicrous manner, and could nil lisp
baby words without a s'range hiccough
and hesitation. The doctor, averring
that if he had seen such symptoms in an
adult ho sbou'd have pronounced them
due to intoxication ami nothing else, with
little difficulty obtained an account oftho
ttn'ortunate maternal impression that
provoked the peculiar malady w ith which
the child is afflicted. No Hue of medical
t.rea! ment could he of us • in such a case,
and reluctantly the physician gave up tue
infant tiny to endure his strangely misera
ble lite.
“There is nothing like catalepsy about
the case,” the doctor explained. “There
is no healthier child in town, As near ns
I c m explain it. the child has muaoles
and nerves in that condition of action
which its fat tier showed when the moth
er’s impression of tils intoxication was
received. There are no (its or convul
sions, though a tremor is always present.
In spite ot this fact there i- no mental
weakness. There is noon-ordination in
the movements of the lower limbs and the
hands are almost ns bad off. Ilia gait is
heavy and insecure—a regular drunken
red or stagger. As to bis speech, it is
not only Incoherent and rambling, but lie
lias all ot the phei oinena of exhilaration
or excitement characteristic <d tbeearlier
stages of intoxication. Ills ideas seem to
(low rapidly and all of the senses are won
derlully acute, but there are the muscu
lar tremblings and the actual shambling
gait of li e drunkard,”
“Is recovery to be hoped for?” the re
porter asked.
"No,” the doctor answered. “It Is a
hopeless case; Impossible to cure. That
hoi, if he lives, w 11 have the continued
appearance of drunkenness, aud it cannot
be bdpeii. He is drunk, naturally
drunk, and, though Ua may become a

great scholar, he will never outgrow this
malady.”
The parentsof the unfortunate child are
very sensitive about his condition and do
not permit, visits from stre.ngcni. It has,
however, been arrainiett that the pare.its
shall take him befoie a specialist in ner
vous diseas's that there mat be a locali
zation-ot the malady it possible, it is a
very rare case, and among its leatures is
the otid fact liiat alcohol in arty form and
in any quantity acts on the child like a
poison.

The Sea Serpent as -een by the Hon.
John M ink.
From the Xnp }'"■* Sun.
Newburgh, Sept. 26.—The Hon. John
Mink, the well-known philosopher and
pick of veraci'y, who has been running
summer excursions over the Erie rail
way to Coney Island all season, and is re
port dto have cleared $15,000 thereby,
uay s he is a “white punkiti” ii he didn’t
S' e the great sea serpent last night. Af
ter enjoying a substantial supper in Mark
Pjudar’s restaurant he went to the
stringpiece of the long dock, the wharf at
which the Mary Powell, Albany, and
other boats landj and threw his line out
into the river in tiie hopes of catching
some tisn. His only companion was a
Henry Clay cigar, vvhlcn he drew upon
frequently for coni fort. As he waited pa
tiently for a nibble he saw tbe wonderful
serpent pass up tbe river on its wav to
ltoundoui, where it was first discov
ered.
"Say, now, don't you believe me?” he
said to a reporter to-day. “Well, do you
see anything Hie matter with them ’ere
optics o’ mine? Whether you see any
thing or not, there’s nothin’ itiliu’ ’em;
and if you’ll notice, they’re as bright as a
newly whitewashed lepuiation. And
how I’ll toll you how it was. 1 went tish
in’ last night, as 1 often do when not
spending the evening out,. Al first, when
1 look' and south and saw the monster ap
proaching, 1 thought its eyes appeared
like two ueadlb hts on two locomotives,
one on tbe Hudson river road and the
otoer on ihe opposite side of the river on
the West Shore They were a thunderin’
good ways apart, and they shone as
bright as did the moon w hen it hove in
sight over North Beacon on the Ftshklll
Mountains. The lignts approached me
quicker and faster, and I didn’t think
they’d he able to ;tt through tho pass be
tween old Storm King and I’ollopel’s
Island. But tuey did, and in their trail
was a long string of what looked like
green hillocks. There was a great snort,
ing as the serpent approached, and at the
,-ear end thei e was a great, splashing of
the water. The figure appeared in tho
moonlight like a letters winding around
in tbe river, and wheu the head of the
serpent seemed to pass the island the tail
was ibrowin’ huge clouds of foamy spray
down at West, Point. From the island to
the Long Hock the head ot the serpent
scudded through the water like a flash.
Just as its head reached the Wni. T.
Hart’s slip it stopped, it iooked furious,
and as 1 thought, it had designs ou me 1
lelt scared siltin’ there on the lonely
stringpiece. Tne stoppage of the monster
was, however, explained. It had no
sooner come to a standstill than 1 noticed
one of the big Albany night boats round
in' ihe island. Fire was coinin’ oui of
its slacks like successive powder explo
sions. It had on full steam, and as it
passed me the pilot blew several whis
tles, expi essing hts joy at running down
the monster, which no bad been chasin’
through the Highlandsat full speed. The
pilot was, however, off on his whistlin’.
He had nothin’ to w btstle for. The ser
pent had simply laid to to let the boat go
by. If his cumin’ from tbe island was any
showin’ ot what speed he could make,
there’s no cratt on this river he need get
out the wav of. No, not even the new
Newburgh.’ The fact is, acoordin’ to my
belief, the monster did not want to take
anv chances In tbe narrow passes up
north ot us. He thought perhaps his ma
chinery might give out. and Newburgh
Bav being wide and an easy passtn’
place be hove to and let the big steamer
go by. As soon as this was done be
struck out tor the middle of the stream
again. Simultaneously, wish a big snort,
the water began to splash down at Corn
wall, and when, up above Danskamer
i’oint, he turned nis headlights an.unci as
it to sav good-bye to me, tue splashin’ of
bis mnminnoth tail hud not vet reached
where 1 sat. Instead of its bein’ a hun
dred feet long, as some accounts have it,
it certainly was several miles long, un
less i here was a train of ’em together. 1
bel'eve, however, there was only one of
’em, hut he was a big ’un. His head
stood upright. His eyes flashed like
lightning. He flapped nis gills like an
elephant would flap his ears. The hpad
looked as big as the pilot house of a
steamer, in color it was a pea green. It
would dip its head occasionally like a
duck. I thought at one time I'd get, (>ffl
eer Glynn, who passed down Front
street just before it came in sight, and
lasso t be serpent and tie it last to the dock,
erect a shed over it and put it on exhibi
tion. W hen its rear passed out of sight,
up opposite New Hamhttigh, the splash
ol the water looked like the spray of half
a doz nMg propeller wheels. Butit was
I of short duration, tor it sped out of sight
[ like a rocket. It was close on the big
steamer, and pet naps you may hear now
of the large boat giving way to the ser
p lit before it reaches Readout, where it
was first discovered. I lingered on the
siringpieop for some hours alter its de
parture, wondering ii my eyes had de
ceived me and waitin’ for bites. My
eyes, I determined, were right, just as
you see them now, hut nary a bite did 1
get. The serpent had driven every fish
over to the Fishkill flats, and John Mo.
Gabey says they are all over there yet, as
iiimo of the boys who flsh oft’ the docks
have had any luck since.”

LETTER FROM FRANZ LISZT,
“THE KING OF PIANISTS.”
[TRANSLATION.]
MKSSRS. CHICKERING:
It is very agreeable to me to add my name to the concert of praise of which your
Pianos are the object. To be lust, I must declare them perfect ( penectissisms, su
perlatively perfect). There is no quality which is foreign to them. Your instru
ments possess, in a supreme decree, nobility and power of tone, elastioltv and secu
rity of tbe touob, narmony, brilliancy, solidity, Qharms and prestige, and thus offer
a harmonious ensemble of perfections, to tne exclusion of all defects. I’ianists of
least pretensions will find means of drawing from them agreeable eff-ots: and in face
of such products—which truly do honor to the art of tbe construction of
instruments —the role of the critic is as simple as that of the public; tbe one has but
to applaud them conscientiously and with entire satisfaction, and the other but to pro
cure them in the same manner.
in congratulating you sincerely upon the great and decisive success obtained at
the Exposition at Parts, l am pleased to anticipate the happy continuation ot the
same In all places where your Pianos will he heard, and L beg that you. accept, gen
tlemen, the expression of my most distinguished sentiments of esteem and consid
eration. [Signed,J 1-'. Lds-ZX.
Rome.
OTHER PIANOS WEAR OUT, BUT THEY GO ON FOREVER.
And this rare quality of durability is wherein lies their claim of being really the
cheapest Piano that has yet been produced by any maker. Tbe use of the Ohickkr-
ING Pianos bv the greatest Pianists, Art Critics and Amateurs, has giveu to the
Cuickkking Pianos an universal prestige and reputation lar above all other Pi
anos manufactured in this country or Europe. The overwhelming verdict of the
very highest Art talent, including Dr. Franz Liszt, Gottscbalk, Dr. Hans Von Bulow.
Louis Plaidy, Stephen Heller. Carl Reineclte. Marmontel, Arabella Goddard, and
hundreds of other masters of the art, places the Chickering Pianos to-day at the
head of the entire list of Pianos made in the world, proving them superior to all others.
