A newspaper helpmeet.
Yon know the New York Staats
Zeitung?
You know Its magnificent granite build
ing that stands on wliat was once known
as Tyron row, now the base of City Hall
square at the bridge entrance, with
cellars and outreacliings that extend at
least a hundred i'cet under the center
of the street, with no more right tliero
than I. would lmvo in tlio Kingdom of
Heaven prior to the shuffling off my
mortal coil.
Who owns It?
Oswald Ottendorfer and the heirs of
the late Mrs. Ottendorfer.
Perhaps you think Ottendorfer made
the Stunts Zeitung, und coined the cash
which paid for that beautiful ornamenta
tion! 1
Not much.
Go back with me a quarter of a century,
and in a little cellar, a kind of black place
at thut, look with mo at a sturdy, stubby,
modest, driving, pushing, energetia
German named Uhl. See him set type.
See him justify it. See him put it on the
stone. See him put it in the form. See
him lock up the form and watch him as
he puts it on his hand press.
Does he work the press?
No, he doesn’t.
But his wife works the press. A large,
fine looking woman, with a well devel
oped head, a beautifully proportioned
body, and with intelligence written in
every line of her attractive face. She pulls
with brawny arm, she pushes with expand
ing muscle. She works hour after hour.
She takes from the press the dampened
sheet. She folds it. She sells it, and she
puts the coppers in her pocket.
There they work day after day, night
after night.
The place is dirty.
The surroundings are unpleasant; the
work, as wo who ure printers know, is not
fit for delicate fingers or glossy skins or
fine attire. Toiling day in or day out,
working till the very dirt grimes the under
cuticle, these two helpmeets, hand in
hand, with a common sweat pouring from
their bodies,- laid the foundation for the
leading German newspuper of tho United
States of America.
The normal result.
A great property?
Yes, now. Not then. Many and many
a time they wondered if the paper con id
be got out. Many a time and oft they
suw the matter prepared and type set
and justified and in the form, without one
sheet of paper dampened for tho press;
but industry persevered in, economy prac
ticed and a clever laid programme for cir
culation followed out, led them on, step
by step, until they readied the basement,
and tlien an upper floor, and then an
other, until, finally, they occupied two
great, buildings on Cl atham row.
Morning after me: ning for months, for
years, for decades,'Mrs. Uhl enme down
town, sold the papers mid carried the
literary money in her carpet bug to her
home.
Site sold the papers, she took the cnsli,
she kept the books, she paid tho bills und
she paid the balance. Gradually they
emerged from the realm of poverty and
placed their foot on the solid rock of in
dependence.
Then Uhl died and was gathered to his
fathers.
And Mrs. Uhl?
Oh, she married the bookkeeper, for
“when the old man died the property sur
vived,” and Oswald Ottendorfer, a tall,
handsome Teuton who had been hired in
the early days of their prosperity, a gen
tleman, u man of education, a posssililo
factor in politics, made love to the widow,
captured tier fair, fat and 40 hand nr 1
led her to the altar. The property ex
panded, und when the Tweed ring burst
forth in all its uproarious roisterings iu
the city its patronage was given to The
Stunts Zeltung as freely as to The Post,
Commercial, Star and World. Later on,
phenomenally rich, Mrs. Ottendorfer, w’ i
had been, with he ■ 1 isband, the found- c
of The Staats Zc..nng, died universal y
respected, und with a funeral procession
such as rarely attends the obsequies of a
private citizen she wus carried to Green
wood cemetery and laid away with every
indication of popular respect and profes
sional regard.
llud it not been for her the Staats
Zeitung would never have existed.
Had it not been for her the great Ger
man organ would never have obtained tho
phenomenal proportions it bus lo-duy.—
Joe Howard in Cincinnati Knquirer.
Tremendous Appetites of the Inhabitants
of the Arctic Regions.
When we were at John Howland bay, a
month ago, on the Arctic coast, I was visit
ing on the Hunter, where the sailors wers
scraping off the pieces of the gum adhering
to the butt ends of the whalebone. The na
tives stood by, and as the long shavings were
rolled off gathered them ail up, eating what
they could hold, and storing the rest away
iu their canoes. I tasted of the stuff out of
curiosity’s sake, but dropped it ns soon as I
could. The flavor is ubout as I would im
agine a rotten row peanut to be. For a
steady diet, I should hesitate between that
slid faith, but the natives all evidently rel
ished it exceedingly, and they chewed by the
hour, os a schoolgirl would a piece of gum.
The greatest feast I have seen the natives
have wns about two weeks ago, when several
whalers were lying at unchor under East cape,
on the Asiatic shore. A whale wss raised ut
the southward, working rapidly up along the
shore. Twenty five or thirty whale boats
were immediately lowered, and the gaunt let
was too much for the whale. Ho was soon
captured and alongside the Lucrelia to he
cut in. Seven canoe loads of natives cams
off to claim their share of the whale, which
custom has defined ns the fins, flukes (the
tail), and all the lean they can cut off.
The whale was a very large one, mak
ing ill the vicinity of 140 barrels of oil,
and producing about 3,500 pounds of
whalebone, hence there was a great
amount of lean. How the natives
did work to save this! To me tho whole scene
was most amusing. Work was b- gun about
8 o’clock and finished soon after midnight,
but the sun set only to rise in an hour or two,
so it was daylight all the time. The officers
of the ship were giving their orders, tho

which rattled luce a dozen heavy 0 f - — *•

log chains. Twenty or thirty natives were
yelling like fiends. Hugo sheets of blubber
ere being hauled in ut the gangway.
Everything was excitement ami noise. The
sea all about tho ship was red with blond, and
natives were crawling all along the whale's
carcass, holding big sheath knives in then
teeth, cutting off a piece of meat when oppor
tunity offered, and jabbering away like so
many monkeys. When they wero through
with the skeleton, it seemed as if they could
not have removed any more meat even with
a piece of sandpaper. All their canoes were
loaded down as full as they could carry with
meat. Now that tho work was over, the
feast followed. Tho most toothsome part of
the whale to them is the black skin from tho
lips, tho tins and tho flukes, and theso opened
the feast. Imagine a man or a woman, with
a slice of meat the size of a four or five pound
steak, surrounding a corner with an expan
sive mouth, then sawing off the corner and
writhing all over in order to chew up the
whole piece and not drop any from his mouth.
This is the happiest, moment cue of these
natives could wish for.—Cor. Chicago Times.

“In tho following spring I went to New
York and put up at a boarding bouse. I was
without a dollar. I did not have two shirts
iu the world. My clothes had been seized for
board in Albany. I was thoroughly disgusted
with the world and resolved to kill myself.
I went to a drug store aud bought some arse
nic. I told the apothecary I wanted to kill
rats. I went to my room and mixed it, and
was on the point of taking it, when, just as
such things happen on tho stugo, I heard a
gentle rap on the door. A man cumo in and
said he was an actor, und thut his mime was
Woodbull. Thu object of his visit was to get
me to play for his benefit. lie said he had
never seen me act, hut ho had heard Ogden
Hoffman, u member of the legislature, and
others capable of judging, say that I was very
flue. I told him hastily that 1 had done with
acting, und that I did not. know anything
about him or his benefit. The actor looked
downcast and said: ‘I am a poor man, and
have a long summer to run through. I had
hoped you would come to my aid and assist
mo iu supporting my family; otherwise I am
beggared.’ These words touched me so,” said
Forrest, “that I finally consented. I played
‘Othello’ for him. It was a grand sweep,
financially und dramatically, for hundreds
were turned away from the doors of tho
theatre. Next morning Mr. Gilford, man
ager of the Bowery, put tnUO in my hands
(more money than I ever had in my life bo-
fore). and engaged mo for one year at bis
theatre. From that time till now my course
lies been upward ana onward.”—Dr. Kano in

The Central Asiatics,
Gen. Prjevalsky estimates the whole
population of Central Asia at abo t
0,000,000, spread over uu extent of 120,0 0
square miles. Like all peoples living
under Asiatic despotism, they have no
notions whatever of virtue, honor or
duty, and they exhibit no leanings of any
kind toward European civilization und
culture. The most frightful immorality
and revolting despotism reign in the family
life of the sedentary populations, while
the nomads, strange to say, ure milder,
more modest and more sincere.
The general expatiates ut greut length
on llieir fervent desire to be annexed to
the Russian crown. Only iu Thibet is
tills feeling not pronounced, owing to the
fact that tire Russians arc so little known
there. The dream of the nomadic Mon
gols, the Dougans—i. e., the Chinese
Mohammedans—and ihe inhabitants of
Eastern Turkestan are to become inhabit
ants of the great white czar, whoso mime,
with that of t he Dalai Lamu, of Thibet,
figures in their imaginations as the sym
bol of magical power and authority.
At some places visited by the Russian
expedition the Mohammedan rnollahs im
plored the general to permit them to rise

In speaking of tho large number of deaths
of English sparrows during the late rain
storms, Professor Otto Lugger, of Baltimore,
says that, instead of having been dashed to
death, he believed they had been frozen in
midsummer. One day last week lie counted |
forty sparrow lying stiff and cold within u|
distance of three squares. He carried eight
homo, examined all of them and found no
hones broken. Four of them ho warmed and
they revived. The other four never again
si lowed signs of life. Professor Lugger gave
the following explanation of tho apparent
lifele'sness, after the storm, of tho birds,
most of w hich were young one- : In migrating
birds liy against the wind. Should the w ind
suddenly change and blow in the same direc
tion as the birds arc flying, and at u greater
rate of speed, tile birds' feathers are blown
forward, the skin is exposed, and a cold driv
ing rain will soon chill too birds and cause
their death. Iu this way, strange us it luuy
seem, the birds may lie said to have been
frozen in midsummer.—Boston Transcript.
Outwitting tlie Alligators.
The dogs of San Domingo have discovered
a wayof outwitting their adversaries. When
ever a native dog of the island comes to a
stream he stops and barks furiously for sonto
time, until gradually one by one tho yaeons
gather near the bank on which ho stands,
poking their vicious jaws out of tho water ns
if in expectation of a feast. Tile dog knows
by instinct when h" has gathered all the yn-
cmvs in tho vicinity in one spot, and becom
ing satisfied of this fact be scampers off at
breakneck speed up or down the stream and
swims across in safety. It is only the Han
Domingan dog, however, who possesses tin’s
instinct. An imported dog would plunge
recklessly into the water ami soon become
the prey of tile yncore.—New York Mail und

Death of Gen. l-llll Keurny.
The death of Gen. Phil Kearny at Chan
tilly has always been shrouded in mys
tery. He was killed instantly, but the
circumstances which led to bis deutli have
hitherto tieen kept very quiet. Gen. Pierce
Young, of Georgia, has just returned from
St. Petersburg, where he was United Ktatos
consul general. He was a Confederate officer
during the war, and says that at Chantilly
he and Ihs command unexpectedly sur
rounded Kearny and his stair. V.ung. who

In woeful predicament, and, although he
knew he could not stoop over fur enough
to reach it without losing his balance, he
made several ineffectual attempts. The
street was full of hurrying people who
1 jostled him on both sides, blit nobody paid
any attention to him, except, thill occasion
ally some one looked with an amused
smile at his dilemma. Presently along
came two pretty young girls, neatly
dressed in black cloth newmiukcts, with
black lions anil muffs, and regulation tall
huts. “Oh, sec there!” said one, and
before the old man knew what hml
happened there was a faint whiff of per
fume In the air, aud a pretty girl with
a dainty handkerchief protecting her
gloves, had lifted the pig’s head and with
tho help of another pretty girl was putting
it in tho basket. But pome of the piggy's
inborn obstinacy seemed to remain in his
brained and dressed pale, for stay where

stood as motionless ns a caryatid, and Ihe

however they fixed it, would slide right
off again. Tho passing people began to

watching lb" operation, when after tlie
manner of tiis actions in life, piggy's pnto
suddenly became docile and lay perfectly
quiet in the exact place where they had
tried half a dozen times to make it stay.
As tho old man moved 'iff with his burden
resting quietly on his shoulder, a cheer
from a bootblack was echoed in an
approving murmur from the crowd as it
went on its way again, casting admiring
glances at the two girls who stepped

•Among tho Humorous collectors of curl*
QsitieH of every kind who abound in Paris
there is one wealthy virtuoso who amuses
himself by collecting deaths’ heads and
skeletons fantastical!) carved or modeled
in marble, earthenware, wood or precious
stones. These he has Kutheml together
in ti kind of museum of death, which at
first sight seems hideous and “macabre,**
but on closer inspection proves highly In
teresting. Some of tlie heads have been
detached from those >hl mc liiovnl rosary
beads which were usually ornamented on
one side with 1 lie profile of*n king or a
saint and oi* the other with the grinning
face of a skeleton. One of the most hid
eous, yet at the same time most artistically
executed of the figures, is that of a skele
ton engaged in taking from off ids bonus
Die “conqueror worms” which have been
claiming him ns their own. The collector
has given n lugubrious reality to the ob
jects in his museum by placing here and
tliyre among them the skulls of dead
women.—Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
Tulking About Carpets.
“ We have in stock no less than a
thousand patterns of carpets,” said tho
manager of a big carpet store on Wabash
avenue, “and our present stock comprises
3,000 rolls. Not one of these patterns
is more than a year old. Thu activity
of the carpet designers and manufac
turers is something marvelous. Perhaps
as many ns 1,500 or L',000 new patterns are
produced in a year iu this country alone.
'1 here are carpet designers in this country
who draw salaries as high as 10,000

our stock arc $4.50 a yard, but we often

as lunch as $‘-M a square yard. laid. It is
quite the fashion among wealthy people in
Chicago to have the carpets for their
libraries and parlors made to order from
design* furnished by their decorators. I
have often seen $1,200 or $1,500 worth of
carpet put into one room of ordinary
size.”—(’hicago Herald.
Mrs. Cleveland’* liuuriNlmking.
Mrs. Cleveland says that when she has
been shaking hands with people all the
evening, a.-* she does at her receptions, she
never feels pain in her right arm, but
ulwuys in her left. .She has a muscular
grasp that is always noticed and spoken
of. She takes hold of a caller’s
hand, not with the tips of her
fingers, as some people do, but with a full,
firm palm, and gives it a hearty shake.
One would think that she would feel a se
rious lameness after greeting 2,000 or
3,000 in that way, but she nev n r does ex
cept in the left arm, and sh« says that
Mrs. Fred Grant told her a few weeks ago
that Gen. Grint used to be affected in the
same way. He always felt a lameness
and often numbness in his left arm,
never mi Ins right.—Chicago News.
