Two Ways or Doing a Thing.
An expross train tilled with listless,
sleepy-looking passengers stood in the
Pennsylvania railroad station, on the
moment of departure for Philadelphia.
The locomotive had hacked up to the
ears and poured a volume of thick
smoko into the hot, stifling atmosphere
of the station. The travelers lolled in
their scuta, looking as though they
dreaded the discomforts of the long,
dusty ride, hut yet were impatient to ho
whirling through the open country,
away from the smoke, the smell, and
the noise. A slow-moving, surly-look
ing l>oy of 14 or thorealionte, passed
through the train, calling out:
“i'a-a-ns, 6 cents. ”
lie spoke in a dreary, disconsolate
tone, which made the people feel more
tireil and languid than ever. lie went
from the smoking car to the ronr of the
train and sold just two fans.
A colored boy, abont the same ago,
followed immediately after him, witli a
liig armful of new hamhoo fans. The
difference in the two lads was striking.
The darky had a cheery, business-like
way with him that appealed directly to
the comfort and to the pockets of the
perspiring passengers. In a peculiar
boyish voice, as mellow as a flute, he
called out:
"Keep yo’selves e-o-o-o-1, now, ladies
an' gemmen ! C-o-uey Island breezes 1
A Vug fan only 5 cents ! Zephyrs from
de billows 1 Buy 'em while yon can I”
The effect was like a draught of cool
air. Everybody at ouee wanted a fan.
I’he darky was ns lunch in demand as
the newsboy on an early train from the
suburlw. People left their seats to
avoid getting lift In two ears tile boy
sold 67 fans. Be conld have sold as
many more if he had them. He jumped
off the platform as the traiu moved
trorn the station with his pocket full of
change and his heart full of joy.
"Golly !” he shouted, “dat was quick
business.” The other Ikiv stared in
stupid astonishment and wondered how
it was done.

TIIE TICHRORNE CASE.
Approaching ItMcnnc nl the Claimant on n
Tlrkrl | ( i-ii vp.
The Tiehliorne claimant is to lie re
leased from prison on a ticket-of-loavo.
Huger Charles Tichborno, a child born
January 6, 182!), of an ancient English
Catholic family, was, after his father,
heir to the title and estates of his uncle,
Bir Edward Doughty. Ho ir known to
have arrived at Valparaiso on June 1!),
1853, and having crossed the continent
eastward April 20, 1851, he sailed from
ltio for New York on the Holla, which
was lost at sea. His father succeeded
to the baronetcy March 5, 1858 and died
June 11, 1802.
It then passed to the second son, Al
fred (It igcr being presumed to bo lost,),
who died February 22, 188(5, arid was
succeeded by his posthumous son, Bir
Henry Tiohhorne, horn May 28 in that
year. In 18(15 Bir James’s widow,
hoping Huger might yet be alive, had
advertised for him in the English and
Australian papers. In 1805 her adver
tisement was answered by one Thomas
Castro, a butcher at Wagga Wagga,
Australia, who pretended to tie her son,
who asserted that ho had been saved
from the wreck of the Bella. After some
correspondence with Lady Tichborno,
Castro sailed for England, where bo ar
rived December 25, IHfili.
In January, 1807, ho joined her at
Paris and was accepted by her as a son,
though most of the other members of
the family repudiated him. In March
lie tiled a bill agaiimt the trustees of the
estute and, having been occupied in the
interim in obtaining witnesses and testi
mony, brought the notion for the re
covery of the estates, valued at $24,000
n year, to trial May 11, 1808. Lady
Tiehliorne had died March 12, 1871, slill
believing Castro to ho her son. The
trial lasted at one session 1(11! days, and,
with adjournments, till March (i, 1872,
when the jurors declared themselves
convinced that the olaiinnnt was not Bir
Hogor, anil lie was nonsuited.
The principal points against him were
his ignorance of French, which language
Iho true Bii It- >/or spoke admirably, and
of incidents happening during Ins so
journs in France; the dissimilarity of
the handwritings of the two men ; tbeir
marked physical differences ; the claim
ant’s neglect while in Australia to avail
himself of the large balances at Bir
Roger’s credit, though ho was pressed
for money, and his own action in seek
ing out immediately on his return to
England the Ortons, a family of rather
humhio life, to whom he presented hint-
Nolf and sent his photograph as Arthur
Orton. The claimant woh indicted for
perjury as "Thomas Castro, otherwise
Arthur Orton,” put on trinl April 23,
18711, and after a trial of 188 days’ dura
tion, convicted February 28, 1874, and
sentenced by Bir Alexander Cockburu to
fourteen years’ penal servitude.

Til this land, whorosnperstition,treach
ery and murder predominate, it is not
strange that funerals are continually oo
ourriug, and that the strangest and most
revolting performanees are indulged in
U|miii these occasions. The first funeral
which I witnessed was that of a man of
no particular rank or position. As
the corpse was being carried along it
was followed by a rabble of mourners
who were all screaming and yelling. At
intervals along the road the corpse was
placed on the ground and a series of
athletic games were commenced, in
which spear exercises was llio most
prominent. When the plaoo of burial
was reached the corpse was thrown naked
into a shallow grave and then covered
up with earth. A largo pile of rooks
was then placed over the grave. Some
pieces of silver and a few other articles
were buried with the body in order to
give tlie ghost a start iu the next world.
When people of rank are buried the
oeromouy is more extensive and some
what different. At. the death of a chief
the greater part of his cattle are killed,
and Ins wives are obliged to out oil their
hair and otherwise disfigure themselves.
A coffin is made by cutting a log some
what longer than the corpse. This log is
split lengthwise, hollowed out, aud the
body placed within. The funeral cere
monies are never complete until the suc
ceeding chief has captured a town or has
fought a battle in which blood has been
shed. Whenever a groat sorcerer, or
person of more than ordinary distinction
departs this life, his laxly is allowed to
decompose before burial. It is covert'd
with aromatic substances and placed on
a bam boo platform in the snu, where it
is left for several days. The decompo
sition produces a putrefying liquid which
is caught in earthen vessels placed under
the platform. This horrible liquid is
then divided among (hose present. Each
receives the liquid in his hand and quick
ly mbs it all ever his body. After this
revolting performance the body is
wrapped in a kind of doth and buried
with various ceremonies.
The Oleomargarine l.aw
The first decision under the Oleomar
garine law was rendered in Brooklyn by
Justice Walsh. Patrick H. MoGann
was arraigned on a charge of making
aud selliug eight pounds of oleomarga
rine. His counsel contended that the
statute was unconstitutional. Justice
Walsh sustained the law and lined the
defendant one hundred dollars—the
minimum penalty prescribed by the
act. This is intended as a test case,
the complaint against MoGann being a
friendly one. The decision given has
little significance. The important ques
tion involved can be finally settled only
by.the Court of Appeals, where this ease
is to be carried. We shall not be sur
prised if that tribunal sets aside the
law as unwarranted legislation. .Yr■

THREE TIMES IN ONE STORM.
ltrlulHlleli ol llir —iivtnff llillt I-). hr 11 In*
Never Mirth.. Twice* In llie smile I'lnre,
A lotter from Hath, N. Y., says: The
farm house of Henry Axtcll is iu the
town of Catlin, Okemuug county, two
miles from Pino Vulley station. In the
sitting room was a largo base-burner
stove, the pipe from which ran up
through the ceiling into another apart
ment, where it entered the chimney.
While the terrible thunder storm of
Saturday was at its height Mr. Axtell
and several members of his family were
in the sitting room, some of them sitting
close to the stove. Suddenly the room
was filled with a blinding light. The
stove llew into a hundred pieces about
the room, breaking windows, walls, and
furniture. None of the flying fragments
struck any of the inmates of the room,
nor were any of them prostrated by the
shock.
Lightning had struck the chimney,
nearly every brick on half of wbioh was
reduced to dust. The other hall of the
chimney remained standing. The fluid
lnvl followed the stove pipe in the
chimney above, dividing it into four
sections, cacti one of which was split
into halves. After demolishing the stove
in the sitting room the holt had torn
four holes in the carpet arid Bet it on
fire. From the carpet it entered the
partition wall back of where the stove
had stood, slid down to the base board,
and tore it away for a distance of five
feet. It tlien passed down into tho
cellar, where it struck a crock of butter.
The crock was broken into countless
fragments and the butter spattered over
all parts of the cellar, some pieces being
found sticking to the ceiling.
A table on which several pans of milk
were standing hod all four of its legs
taken off close, and every log was torn
into splinters, which were found in all
parts of the cellar. There was not a
mark on any part of tho table top.
Under the table an old chair without
any hack was standing. Tho legs of
the table must have been cut off simul
taneously, for the top was found resting
on the chair, and only a small quantity
of the milk was spilled, hut the milk
was all turned thick and sour.
What became of the eccentric fluid
after it had done its work in the cellar
could not lie learned, as there was no
mark to bo seen where it had entered
the ground.
The inmates were still running about
the house in excitement when another
bolt struck the building. A neighbor
says he saw a streak of tiro run from
the chimney down one side of the roof
and down the side of the house anil dis
appear in the ground. A track o! miss
ing shingles and clapboards anil a hole
in the ground marked its course. It
also took with it a portion of tho rem
nar.t of the chimney. A few minutes
later the fragment of chimney still left
standing was demolished by a third
stroke of lightning. Tho fluid from
this passed down to the cave trough,
which it followed to the end of the roof,
from which it jumped to the corner of a
wood house, tearing off a part of the
roof, and passing down through the
floor, and into the ground. No fire re
sulted from either stroke, and no serious
shock was felt by any one in the house.
Another singular freak of lightning is
reported from Hornellsville. Abram
Ford saw a bolt strike the chimney of
John Regan’s house on Hartshorn street
during the storm of Saturday. Tho
bricks were thrown in all directions far
around. All the other evidence of the
presence of the electric current about
the house was a round hole in the bottom
of a tin basin which stood m the sink in
the kitchen. Around the edge of the
hole was a black rim of an equal width
of a quarter of an inch, having the
appearance of being burned in the tin.

THE MAN WHO OArTPUF.iI 11APN1NH HO
QIHdKT.Y AH TO ASTONISH HIS COM
MANDER.
Maolein is the Amiamitc word for
“quickly.” And that is tho name the
French soldiers have given to (lon.
Negrier, who is at present looked upon
as the most wideawake General in the
French army. He commanded one of
tho brigades in the Tmiquin expedition,
and it was he who captured Bacninh.
The commander-in-chief, General Mil
lot, came after him, much surprised to
find the place already taken. Before
that Negrier had sent three officers to
report the fact to headquarters, bnt
they did not succeed in reaching MiUot’s
brigade. Uneasy at not hearing any
news from Gen. Negrier, Gen. Millet
seutOapt, deVignaconrt in the direction
of Bacninh. On coming close to the
place he found a flag flying over one of
the forts, bnt the fog was so thick that
lie could not see what flag it was. Turn
ing in another direction he came upon
another fort, and was surprised to find
that the soldiers did not tire upon him.
Ho advanced ami found that they were
French troops. He politely asked them
if they would lie good enough to inform
him where he could find Gen. Negrier.
“At Bacninh,” was the reply. “He
slept last night in the royal pagoda.”
Vignacourt rode rapidly back, and ar
rived at Gen. Millot’s headquarters just
as the officers were finishing their break
fast,
"Bacninh is taken," he cried, “Gen.
Negrier has been there since yesterday
evening. ”
Gen. Millot was astonished, and the
correspondent of the Temps says that
some of the officers expressed dissatis
faction because Negrier did not wait for
them to share the honor of taking the
place. They said as much to Gen. Mil
lot, to whom they wished to give their
sympathy for being late, but the Gen
eral replied that he was delighted.
Negrier is described as a man whose
face denotes great energy. He has
vpieiidid eyes and a nose like the beak
of an eagle. His beard is thick and
bushy, the color being a strange mixture
of black and red. He is young and thiu,
and has the air of a General of the
•tdei) times.
THK LUXURY OF GRIEF.
Thn Nloney Nppnl by thr Poor on Ftiernnln
Tho l)e*trc to Outdo One’* Neighbor*.
Id one of the most crowded tenement
house districts a funeral was in progress
n day or two ago, when a reporter for
tlie New York Kxpress pawned by.
Twenty-four coaches, a hearse and a
florist's wagon stood near at hand.
From the last-named vehicle men were
busy carrying various floral devices into
the house. The thousand windows that
lined the street on either side were full
of heads, and the heads were full of
eyes. Thinking someone of local celeb
rity at least was about to be carried to
his long home, the reporter approached
the undertaker, who stood in the door
way, and asked :
“ Was the deceased a ward politician,
or is this a society funeral ?'*
“Neither. It is a private affair, and
the dead man was only a plumlMjr’s
helper.”
“Hut these broken columns, these
floral pillows and harps, this numerous
assemblage of coaches - surely they
are—”
“The luxuries of grief,’ said tho
undertaker interrupting. “It iH the
poor man that has the largest funeral.
Tt is what he lives for. He goes with
plain clothes, eats coarse food, and live*
in crowded tenements, all that he may
have a large show when he dies. The
importance of a certain class of people
in this city is measured by their ability
to bury their dead relations in stylo.
Here is a case for instance. I do nof
suppose the dead man ever earned more
than $2 a day, while his funeral will
cost 8250. Ido not like to charge so
much, but if I don’t do it someone else
will.”
“Then big funerals, costly ones, I
mean, are a common thing among the
poor ?”
“Very, especially the poor Irish and
Italians. They want the best make of
coffins. Only solid silver plates will do
for Rome of them, while iu the matter of
coaches they must have one for every
family they have ever known. I have
furnished funerals for parties for which
I have had to charge 8250, when I
knew the people were so poor that
they never had meat more than once
a week. They desire to eclipse their
neighbors in show. If one person
comes to me and I furnish him fifteen
coaches, his neighbor will not l>e con
tent with loss than tweuty, and so it
gocn. The poor laborer and mechanic
is the liest customer the florist and un
dertaker lias. They always want a big
show and pay cash for what they get.
I remember going over to the Alms
house on the Island one day, and among
the inmates was an old woman who
came and spoke to me. Hhe called me
by name and seemed to know mo very
well, so I asked her how she knew me
and what her name was. Imagine my
surprise when she told me I bad buried
her son less than three months 1 >efore
that time. Hut it was true, ami for that
son’s funeral, she had paid out nearly
8500, and yet, hero she was a pauper.
Priests have committed to their trust
immense sums for burial purposes, by
people so iv>or that they cannot buy
coal except by the pail. It’s strange
ami sud, but still for all that it’s true.”

•‘Great Scott I” he mutters. “Do

up goes his window.
