A SHOE-TURNING CONTEST. The Record of the Champion of the Country Beaten. From the Chicago Tribune. Anybody who wishes to see the genuine article in the way of workingmen should have been at the Cavalry Armory recently to witness the shoe-turning contest. The contestants were splended specimens of mus cular and skillful humanity. Since the recent shoe-turning contest at Detroit, in which M. J. Dunn, of that city, defeated John Cambell, of Buffalo, and won the championship, the knights of the anvil all over the country have Deen anxious to beat each other and the record made by the champion—loo shoes in one hour and torty eeven minutes. Several contests between local favorites have been arranged in Chicago, and last night the first of the matches came off. Tne contestants were Mark Walsh, who works in Tom Shay’s shop at No. 879 Larrabee street, and John Tunney, who does an honest day’s work in the shop of J. N. Leonard at No. 907 West Madison street. Walsh is 5 feet and 11 inches and weighs 202 pounds. Tunney if a slight young fellow, apparently not half the other’s brawn or weight. Billy Lakeman was master of ceremonies, John Fogarty was judge for Walsh, and W. J. Kelley judge for Tunney, and Barney McGuire was referee. About 9 o’clock the contestants appeared and were greeted with applause. Each was accompanied by five helpers. Tunney and his men wore brand-new white undershirts with a large red horseshoe on the breast, and red and white leathern aprons. Walsh and his men wore red undershirts, likewise with the store creases still in them, and red aprons. The fires were started up in the four portable Tornado forges on the plat form. One helper on each side took his place at the forge, two others stood by the second forge, while each contestant with his tool-placer and striker got close to the anvils and stood ready for business. The conditions of the match, which was for S2OO and two thirds of the gate receipts, provided that the size of the iron was to be three-quarters by three-eights of an inch and 12 inches long, every shoe to be turned over the horn with hammer and sledge, then hemmed with hammer, creased, and punched, four holes to be on the outside and three on the inside, and the shoe then to be put over the horn and hemmed and cleaned off with the hammer or sledge. The word was given at 9:13, and amid a burst of cheers each man grasped his redhot iron. Tunney turned his first shoe in exactly 22 seconds, and Walsh finished 3 seconds behind. The new undershirts grew wet and dirty, the clean faces grew black, and the sweat ran in great streams down brow and cheek. With scarce a second’s difference in time the men worked on, but it became apparent that the smaller was gain ing slightly on his big rival. The big man was strong and corn, out the little man was quicker and quite as skillful. In 51 minutes and 15 seconds Tunney turned his one hundredth shoe and began work on the second side. Walsh was one minute and 47 seconds and three shoes be hind. Both men were working rapidly and steadily, and the sound of the fall of the completed shoes upon the iron flooring of the stage was a regular as the ticking of a clock. About this time the experts decided that Tunney’s forgemen were not heating his iron sufficiently, and that he was working what they termed “cold iron.” He seemed to think so himself, and was evidently straining every muscle to keep his grip. For a while the forgemen did better; but there was evidently something wrong, whereupon the sympathy of nearly every one in the hall turned to the small man and he was cheered to the echo with every stroke of his hammer. It was evident that he was working hard and bets began to be made that he would not last to the end, though everybody conceded that he was ahead of the big man. When Tunney was Pn his last ten the forgeman handed him a shoe so cold that it was nearly black. A roar and groan went up from the crowd. Tunney waved it back and dropped his ham mer to arms length with a gesture of des pair. The forgemen worked like mad and handed it back. It was still black. Tunney again refused it and the crowd groaned again. In the meantime Walsh was turn ing shoe after shoe with mathematical precision, and a dead silence fell upon the crowd. Then the forgemen handed over a dazzling iron. Tunney leaped at it and went to work. The crowd cheered and the cry “He’ll beat him yet!” went up on all sides. A few' moments more and the cry went up, “His last shoe!” Half a minute latter the iron rang out upon the floor and his striker sprang to the front of the plat form and waved his brawny arm. The spectators yelled in unison and promptly and unanimonsly climbed over the reporters and ascended the stage. The winner’s time was 1 hour 12 minutes and 15 seconds. Mulsh was beaten bj' 13 sides and the champion’s record was beaten by thirty-four and three-quarters minutes. It -was claimed by some -who had seen the shoes turned by Dunn that the shoes turned last evening were inferior, but the majority of the sent iment seemed to be that the shoes were all right. . * RED SHIRT IN BATTLE. The Indian Chief Spins a Yarn to the London Reporters. From the St. James Budget. “Yes,” continued Red Shirt, “I will tell you of a great fight of the Sioux nation with the Pawnees, who were always bad Indians. They had met our people on the hunt and killed them; they had attacked our villages ami carried away our squaws and children, and their young braves came like serqients in the grass and stole away our horses. The Sioux nation offered to make a treaty of Pface with the Pawnees, but the bad In dians refused and the grand council of the Bioux sat down to discuss how we should punish these bad people, and every chief there spoke for going on the warpath. Then we made ready to fight. It is fifteen years ago, and I was a young chief then; but my father, who was a great chief, was cn the war-path and I was eager to prove niyself a great warrior in his eyes. I col lected my young men and we set out, alto gether I.IiOO strong, under sixteen big chiefs. The most exjterienced warriors were sent, on two days’ march in advance to scout, and scouts were thrown out on every side to guard against, surprise. For eight days dur braves mnrebed against the enemy and then some spies came back and told lis that they had found the Pawnee village. Many of the Pawnee braves were on a big hunt, but nearly all the remainder of the tnhe were at the village. We gathered round the camp without being discovered, and the greut chiefs told the young men how the battle was to be fought. a V*'\°* the signal was given for attack did the Pawnees find out their enemies were dear. Some of the Pawnees were cowards awl ran before we got into the village, but ■ e majority stayed to light for their wig wams—and to die for them. They were sur prised, and in one grout dash we cleared their lodges and wigwams. I wus armed with a long spear. Nearly all our braves hud spears and Ikjws and arrows, but many hwl guns too. I rnn to a young* chief who stood to guard his lodge. He was a brave ani 1 R good warrior, but he fell before my j'Pcnr, and his scalp adorned my belt. Near hy four Pawnee braves stood in a bunch i ".. a groat fight against the at tacks of some or our young men. I joined “tern and with my long spear I killed each .a*! j four braves, and the scalps I wiled to the one already on my belt. Tlieu tie Ught was almost done. The Pawnees ett alive tried to get to their fast horses, nt our young men were too quick for them. JL," 1 *? ft run,ull g fight, and they were almost as they ran. I met three running for the horses.

I did not take their \ r ‘ " brave boasts not of killing women, lr!, ' v ™ mn " scalp adorns not a chiefs ! ***; There was no hesitation alxrnt kill kie 1 -* eir women and children.

"That fight took place in the Southern country of Big Beaver; but the white man holds that land now, and the Indian has gone nearer the setting sun. Another grand council was held on our return, when we agreed to send the thirty-six prisoners back to their tribe—for we felt some pity for them then—mounted on oilr best horses and loaded with presents; and the message w r e sent with them was that we had tried to make a treaty with them; they would not listen to our words, and they continued to attack our people and steal our horses. Now we had killed all we could find except the women,and those we sentback to tell how we punished bad Indians who interfere with the Sioux nation.” A SCHOOLMARM FOR A WIFE. The Interesting 1 Plot that was Laid Re cently by a Bachelor Flirt and Friend- From the New York Evening Sun. The platform of the station at Mount Ver non on Tuesday morning was thronged with as bright-eyed and rosy-cheeked a group of young women as it is ever the good fortune of any one to see, They chatted with volu ble vivacity, and they earned under their arms note books and marble-edged school books. They were young schoolmarms, and they were gathered in Mount Vernon to at tend a convention of teachers. There sat in one of the trains that drew up at the depot a young man with very English whiskers and a very French moustache, and he looked boldly at the girls, raising the window that he might better see the pretty faces. An elderly gentleman with whom the young man was acquainted sat in the seat with him. He seemed to be charmed as well as the young gallant. They were both from New Rochelle. As the train rolled away the young man pulled down the window with a sigh, but the old gentle man said: “Why didn’t yon get off, Robert! If I were a young man like you I’d attend the convention.” “Why!” asked Robert. “Why! You ought to be ashamed of your self. There are a dozen rirls on that platform, any one of whom would make you a good Wire. You ought to be married, Robert; and, let me tell you, that a pretty, young schoolmarm discounts the best of the girls for making a good wife.” "Well,” replied Robert, “I would like to get married, hut I can’t afford it. I shan’t marry until I get more money than I know what to do with And yet ” “Well, what!” “There was a girl—did you see that black-eyed girl on the platform with the apple blossom?” and Robert spoke quite ten derly. “I saw her. Now, Robert, I want to make a proposition to you. I know a girl in a country town in Massachusetts w-ho looks like that one. No doubt she wears apple blossoms into her school room. She is as pretty as a peach on a platter, and she will be worth thousands of dollars to you if you want to get rich. Now you get Saturday off an’d I will take you up there and spend Sunday. I’ve got to go on business and I’ll introduce you. She needn’t know that you’ve come to look at her, but if yon don’t snap her up I’m a fool. She’s too good for you,” and there isn’t a girl in New Rochelle that can beat her for smartness or good looks.” “Honest?” said Robert. “There’s some very pretty girls in New Rochelle.” “yes, and the trouble with you is they are all just about equally pretty. You’ll be a bachelor flirt if you keep on.” “I’ve heard Massachusetts schoolmarms were smart and pretty. Gad! I believe I’ll go with you. That is if you’ll take your wife along. She told me something like this last week, and if she can praise me up to the schoolmarm as she did the schoolmarm to me, I wouldn’t wonder if it was a go,” “No joking, Robert I” “Never so serious in my life. I’m quite excited about it. But” (this somewhat doubt fully), “I’ll never dare live in New Rochelle if we make a match. I’ve flirted too much there.” The train reached the Grand Central depot, and the match makers took the elevated. If the reporter could only give the result of this true story it would no doubt charm the many thousand readers. They and reporter can only wish Robert the best luck next Sunday. BILLY, THE TERRIBLE KID. An Outlaw Relates How Two Cow boys’ Lights Were Put Out. From the Omaha World. “Billy, the Kid, was, an’ no mistake, a holy terror. He was one of those strange things you come across onct in a lifetime, an’ while he was as smooth an’ pleasant a little feller as yer could wish to ’sociate with, he filled a feller with a sort o’ awe—l think that’s the word. He was slim an’ light-haired, an’ blue-eyed, an’ his face was sort o’ pale; his upper teeth stuck out a little bit, an’ that made him look more innocent than ever. You somehow ain't afreared of a fellow whose teeth sticks out in front. He didn’t weigh very much more than 130 pounds, an’ he was a pleasant companion. His eyes were rather pleasant until he got mad, an’ then they shot fire. “I seen Billy kill two men. an’ he did the job up clean." They never kicked, an’ they had their lights put out in grand simple. They was cowboys, an’ they swore thoy'd kill the Kid ’cause they’d heard so much about him. That time at least the Kid wasn’t to blame. He hadn’t killed no rela tives of their’n. It wasn’t very fur fm Socorro, which wasn’t much more’u a vil lage then, an’ we was in camp when tile Kid an’ another fellow come up. Now we wasn’t overglad to see Billy ’cause he had a hard name; they said he’d kill a man if he didn’t happen to be stuck on the color o’ his hair an' sich like. But we wasn’t goin’ to let on. That little devil was so sweet on us that you’d a thought butter would a been safe in his mouth, an’ that made us more uneasy than ever, though there was ten o’ us an’ only two o’ ’em, the Kid an’ the feller with him. Well, as I was Savin’, we was eatin’ dinner, or supper, fer it was after sundown, when two fellers rode up. The Kid had seen ’em, but he never let on an’ kept on eatin’ as nateral as if there wasn’t nobody in a hundred miles that was goin’ to hurt him. "When the strangers got near enough to see the faces o’ the fellers eatin’ one of ’em said, ‘There he is,’ an’ without more sayin’ they let loose. I never sa w anyixxlv skin around so lively as the Kid did; he skipped six or eight feet an’ I thought sure he was hit ’cause I’ve seen fellers do the same way when they lmd n bullet straight through tho heart; but Billy he wasn’t teched. Tne fel lers oil horseback let loose twiet an’ then Billy ho up with his gun—ho had one o’ the purtiest Winchesters you ever laid your eyes on—an’ fired twict. It was a bul let for each man, •ftn’ he brought ’em both, each one through the heart. Billy's pardner didn't seem ticularly nervous; he sat eatin’ his supper all the time, an’ seemed to think that the Kill could take c*re o’ himself. When Bill v had killed tho fellers he sat down again an’ finished his trapper, an’ then rode away. As ho an* liis pal was goin’ Billy says to us; ‘l’m in a hurry or I’d help you bury those ducks.’ ” How to Get Strong.

From the Detroit Free Press. On the evening of May 15, 1554, Gens. Butler and Beauregard faced each other on the James river in the neighborhood of Ber muda Hundred. Butler’s headquarters on that night were in a farmhouse within nine miles of Richmond, and he had had the best of the fighting indulged in during the day. The sun was scarcely down before Beaure guard’s chief of scouts called six of us sub ordinates together for consultation, and in half an hour each man had his work planned for him on the right of Butler’s line, which rested on the Jamas, or was probably supposed to by the commander. Instead of this, however, as was easily dis covered from our front before dark, his line of infantry rested on high ground a long three-quarters of a mile from the water. What other troops filled the gap we could not make out, and it was almost believed that some mistake or blunder had left a gap by which Beauregard could march in and turn the Federal flank. The orders issued to the scouts were to inspect this stretch of ground and ascertain what troops occupied it, and how they were situated to meet a sudden attack. We did not leave the outposts until 10 o’clock, and by that time a mist was rising' from the river and the low lands to increase the dark ness of the night. We separated to take in the whole mile front, ana as we were all dressed in blue each one went forward in confidence. I had the uniform of a Federal Second Lieutenant, and from prisoners we had captured that day I knew that the first troops we should find in this direction would belong to Heckman’s brigade. I made no effort whatever at concealment, but walked straight ahead toward the Federal lines, and the first salutation I got was: “Who’s dar? Speak up, or I'ze gwine to shoot!” I replied in the customary manner and advanced upon two negro cavalrymen who were on outpost a few hundred feet from a reserve picket of a dozen men. When chal lenged for the countei-sign, I advanced as closely as possible, and said: “Who posted you niggers here? You have left your posts, and 1 will have you shot?” “ ’Deed, sah, we’s bin right yere all de time. Heah’s de werry spot wkar’ de ossi fer put us I” “Well, you come with me. Your officer shall be tried bv court-martial at once!” Both men followed me straight to the Con federate outpost, whore they were taken in, and 1 then returned to inspect the reserve. I walked boldly in among the men, who wbre in chargo of a white Sergeant and angrily demanaed: “Sergeant, get your men in line and fol low me! The rebels are falling back, and you ought to have known it half an hour ago!” He sprang up, saluted me, gave the order to fall in, and the entire picket w r as marched into the Confederate lines. At the same time other scouts arrived with other colored prisoners, and, as a matter of fact and of military record, we took over forty of the Federal pickets out of that gap with out a gun being fired or an alarm being given. The last men were taken at 11:30 o’clock, by which time a dense fog had set tled over everything. After taking in mv second batch I joined a scout named Phil brick, and together we flanked a reserve picket and penetrated almost to the Ber muda Hundred road. All along in front of Weitzel’s division we found telegraph wires strung from tree to tree and stump to stump, and we were provided with files to remove them. We worked at this a full hour, and then knowing that the Confede rate advance would be made goon after mid night, we made our way back to the lines. On the way we picked up an Orderly Ser geant of cavalry, who was drunk and rid ing about the country at will. He was bent forward on the saddle, clasping his horse’s mane with both hands, and the animal was picking its own way and taking its own time. While my comrade led the horse I held the Sergeant in his saddle, and he kept muttering to himself: “Ole fell’r, y’er drunk—stavin’ drunk! Boys, whazzer think of a fell’r who gets drunk on ’leckshun day, eh?” He was sober enough to realize the situa tion when we turned him over a prisoner, but, with maudlin gravity, he held out his hand to the Captain who received him and said: “Shay, Gener’l, gimme $2, ’an I’ll lick Misses Bu’gard’s hull army in jess two min its!” HOW SHE SAW THE SULTAN. An English Lady Has a Queer Inter view with the Turkish Ruler. Lord and Lady —— arrived at Constan tinople in 1841. They called on the ambas sador, Lord Ponsonby, and Lady re quested his excellency to present her to the Sultan. As the presentation of a European lady to H. I. M. had never been heal'd of in those days, says a writer in Murray's Magazine , Lord Ponsonby declined to take steps to meet the wishes of the fair lady, on the plea that such an unprecedented request might give annoyance to the Sultan. lady was, however, determined t<> gain her point, and also to show Lord Ponsonby that if he had not sufficient influence to obtain such a special favor from the Sultan another representative might be found who would |iay more courteous attention to her wishes. Roshid Pasha, having made known to the Sultan that a person had arrived nt Constantinople with a wonderful collec tion of most valuablo jewelry, asked whether his majesty would like to see them. The folio-wing conversation is said to have taken place: Sultan—“ Let the jewelry be brought and prices stated.” Roshid—“This person never trusts the jew elry to any one, and would have to come in person.” Sultan—“ Bring the jeweler.” lteshid (in a hesitating manner)—“l beg your majesty's pardon for indelicacy, Imt it is—it is—a female (it was thought im proper to speak about any woman to the Sultan), and she always carries the jewols on her person when she wishes to dispose of them for sale, and never puts them in a ease.” Sultan —“Bring her, and let her put them all on. 'You come also to interpret." Roshid returned olid told the Baron he might inform Lady that she would be presented nt a prjvate audience by him, but that the Sultan, having heard of the fame of her jewelry, had particularly requested she would put it all on, and lie (the Pusha) hoped she would raise no objection to such a strange request. littdy - was very good natured, and, lav ing much amused at the condition made by tiie Hilltun, consented to put on all her most valuable jewelry. ' On arrival at the palace Reshid Pasha conducted Lady into the presence of the Sultan. Her dress glittered with dia monds, pearls, turquoises, and other precious stones. “Pekkv —good," said the Bultan (as Lady courtemed); “she has brought magnifi cent jewels.” Rashid (turning to the lady)—'“His majesty graciously bids you welcome.” Lady bowed and expressed her thanks in French. Rashid (interpreting)—“She says she has other jewelry, but could not put on all.” Sultan —“Ask her what is the price of that diamond necklace.” Reshid—“His majesty inquires whether this is your first visit to Constantinople!” Lady “It is my first visit, and I am delighted with all I have seen.” Keshid (to Sultan)—"She asks 1,000,000 piasters.” Bultan—“That is too much.” Reshid (to Lady )—“His majesty asks whether you iiave seen the mosques. If not, he offers you a firman.'’ Lady expresses her thanks. Sultan—“ What price does she put on that set of turquoises?” Roshid (to Lady )—“His majesty says that perhaps you would like a walk in tue garden.” Lady expresses her thanks, and would like to see the garden. Roshid—“She says 400,000 piasters.” Sultan—“ Take her away; I shall not give such prices.” Roshid (to Lady )—“His majesty gra ciously expresses satisfaction at having made your acquaintance.” Lady courtesies low and withdraws from his majesty's presence to visit the gar den with the amiable and courteous Roshid Pasha. MRS. APPLEGATE’S LONG LIFE. One Hundred and Four Years Old and an Inveterate Tobacco Chewer. From the Philadelphia .Vetcs. Mrs. Rebecca Applegate is said to ho the oldest person in Philadelphia. She is in her 104th year and lives with her daughter,Mrs. Juliette Symmes, at 1031 Dean street, and remembers many things that oceurred in the last century. She was born in the State of Delaware in between Milford and Haddington. Her maiden name was Rebecca Riggs. Her father was a farmer and a man of some prominence, owning a large saw and grist, mill, welFknowu as Rigg’s mill. It is still running and is now called Sharpe's mill. In 1813 Rebecca Reggs wus married to Griffith Jones, the son of John Jones, of Mil ton, and a farmer. She bail seven children, her only surviving daughter, Mrs. Symmes, being the youngest. All's. Symmes Is now 05 years of age, but does not look 50. John Jones was a farmer and he and his wife a few yeare after marriage removed to this city 'and lived in the neighborhood of Front and Lombard streets, where Mr. Jones worked as a carpenter. All their children, with the exception of Mrs. Symmes, died be fore reaching the age of 35 years. Mrs. Jones’ father died at the age of 90 and her mother lived to be 85. Griffith Jones died during the terrible smal 1-pox epidemic of 1838, and, some time afterward his wife married a Mr. Apple gate. He died thirty years ago, and, as he was a soldier of the war of 1812, his widow still receives a pension from the govern ment. For the last fifteen years Mrs. Applegate has been blind, and is now growing deaf. One of her sisters is said to have died at the age of 104 years. She has chewed tobacco aU of life, and will not be without it. She likes beer, and mi occasional drink of good liquor. She still recognizes her friends, and is exceedingly fastidious about her food. When the reporter called upon her she rose, walked into the hall and said: “Juliette, ask the gentleman to sit down. What’s his name?” Being told she said; “I don’t know him. I Can remember a good deal of the war of 1812. It lasted until 1814. I was with niy parents then in Deleware. My second husband was in the army.” The centenarian then remarked that she had a pain in her side and hip, and was tired going up and down stairs. Though quite strong, she is very thin. Her cheeks are sunken, her gums show but two or three teeth, and her hands are emaciated. She is a hearty eater, however, and receives the very best of care. BREAD UPON THE WATERS. A Lawyer Reaps an Unexpected Re ward for a Charitable Act. From the Philadelphia News. A woman, apparently 50 years of age, clad neatly, but showing evident poverty in the quality of her garments, walked into the office of Counsellor James H. Heverin on Friday morniug and asked for a brief inter view. She waited patiently for her turn, and when it came she told a most pitiful story, and one which had a rather singular sequel. “God directed me to you,” she began. “I have been in great trouble, so great that I could not see how I could escape, so I prayed to be directed, and the answer to my prayer was that I should come to you. I have never seen you before and did not even know where your office was located. ” The gist of the story told was that the woman, who was a widow with one child, had been turned into the street in the latter cold of Thursday night; that her room had been broken ojien by her landlady and her sewing machine, with which she earned her daily bread, had, with several other things, been stolen to satisfy an arm-rage of rent. The widow exhibited an agreement, which stipulated that she should perform house hold work in payment for the rental of her cheerless little room—ss a month. The landlady had professed to be dissatisfied with the arrangement and refused to permit her tenant to do any more household drudgery, warning her to leave, aud after ward seizing her means of livelihood. Mr. Haverin gave the woman $5 to relievo her present necessities, secure! a search warrant from Magistrate Durham, recov ered the sowing machine—which, by the way, was being paid for on installments— and secured for the unfortunate widow and her child a comfortable lodging place. The landlady was sent for and almost frightened out of her wits when shown how she hall made herself amenable to the law. The whole transaction cost Mr. Haverin betweeu S2O and $25. Fifteen minutes afterward the lawyer raked in an unlooked-for fee of $l5O from a client who was as unexpected as the poor woman had been. London ia a Big Town. From St. Nicholas. If anyone were to walk one way through all the streets of Ixuidon he would lie obliged to go a distance of 2,000 miles, or as far as it is across the American continent from New York to San Francisco. Li our ap proach to this city, as well as in our ram bles through its streets, we shall not be struck so much by its splendid aud impos ing appearance its by it* immensity. Go where wo may, there seems to lie no end of the town. It is fourteen miles one way and eight the other, and eonta ins a population of nearly 4,000,000 people, which is greater, indeed, than that, of Switzerland or the kingdoms of Denmark and Greece com bined. We are told on good authority that there are more Scotchmen in rxmdonithan in Edinburgh.more Irishmen than in Dublin, more Jews than in Palestine, with foreigners from nil jiarts of the world, including a great numlier of Americans. Yet there are so inauy Englishmen in London that one is not likely to notice the presence of these people of other nations. This vast body of citizens eat every year 400,000 oxen, 1,500,000 sheep, 8,000,000 chickens and game birds, not to speak of calves, hogs, and different kinds of fish. They consume 800,000,000 oysters, which, although it seems like a large numlier, would only give, if equally divided among oil the people, one oyster every third day to each person. There uro 500,000 servants in London, enough people to make a large city, hut as this gives only one servant to each dozen citizens, it is quite evident that a great ninny of the people must wait on them selves.
