PRESIDENTS’ TRAVELS.
Excursions of the National Executives
Times Pact—Cleveland's Stolidity.
A Washington letter to the Philadelphia
press say.-:; Although President Cleveland
hus traveled far loss than most men who
have l eached his years and have had his ex
perience in public affairs, he promises to
make a good record as a tourist before this
year is over. When be was elected Presi
dent he had never, been further West than
Cleveland, and the visit to that city was
made when he was a young man. lie had
visited Washington ion business for a day
some ten wars ago, but he had never lieeh
in New England. He was not fond of travel
and his business did not give many oppor
tunities to do so had he desired.
But if his present plans be consummated,
he will, before Congress meets, have visited
the Canadian boundary and the far South;
will have traveled the greater part of the
Mississippi Valley from St. Paul to St.
Louis and visited mast of the large cities of
the West. And it is his intention, or hope,
next year to go the Pacific slope.
PRESIDENT MONROE’S JOURNEY.
The custom of taking long excursions
through the country by Presidents is much
older than is generally believed. Washing
ton had seen pretty much allot' the Union
North of the Curoiinas before lie became
President; and both John Adams and his
son, John Quincy Adams, were great trav
eler- for their t ime. Sir. Jefferson and Mr.
Madison, however, seldom were long away
from the capital, and their longest trips
were those made to their country seats in
Virginia.
President Monroe was the first to con
ceive the idea of making an extensive
journey through the [States while President,
and he undertook, during one of the long
vacations, to travel northward through
New England and then westward as far as
Ohio. It was a tedious journey to make,
far more so than an excursion to Oregon
would now be. Steamboats were just be
ginning to ply some of the rivers, and most
of the turnpikes were badly kept. Mr.
Monroe traveled in his own coach in a vary
simple manner. No special invitations
were extended to him, but lie was cordially
received everywhere, and was the first
President that a great majority of the
American people ever saw. The sight of a
live President was far rarer at that time
than it now is. When Mr. Monroe stopped
great crowds gathered from miles around to
see him, and his summer journey was the
great sensation of that year.
ANDREW JACKSON DftlNG NEW ENGLAND.
Andrew Jackson was driven in his own
carriage over the fine national road, or
Cumberland road, as it was called, from
Nashville to Washington, some GOO miles,
when he went to assume the Presidency,
lie was exceedingly fond of driving and he
kept a fine stud. When he proposed to take
a summer jaunt into New England, the
nameless opposition—for the term Whig
had not then been adopted—raised a great
cry, which seemed only the more firmly to
dertermine Old Hickory to go. He had
had never been in New England, or, in
deed, anywhere in the North. The report
that he was to visit those portions of the
country created the greatest excitement
everywhere, and great preparations were
made to receive him. He rode in fine
style in his own coach, and, it is said, on
several occasions, six horses were attached
to it. All along the country roads people
gatliered, many of them waiting patiently
to see him pass.
Andy Johnson was the first of recent
Presidents to make a long journey through
the country. This was done not because of
any special invitation, but of his own wish.
Whether the speeches that he delivered dur
ing that trip from the open carriage in
which he was driven through many towns
were in contemplation when he quitted
Washington or not is not known. But they
were delivered upon the slightest opportu
nity, and ware so personal and
were so freely discussed public af
fairs as to excite the w ildest attention. A
thing like this had never been done lief ore
and never since. Johnson tinned his back
on that unwritten law of the White House
that requires whatever communication
Presidents have to make to the people to lie
guardedly and most dignifiedly done in
writing. Johnson’s excursion was not a
pure pleasure trip. He meant business. Ho
wished to explain his policy, though this
method of doing it was against the advice
of his best friends.
GRANT AND HIS SUCCESSORS.
Grant was a great traveler. He was pas
sionately fond of travel, and he was most
democratic In his manner of traveling.
After the war and during his incumbency
of the Presidency he visited almost every
part of the Union. The Pullman parlor
car was just beginning to be used on the
railways, and Grant's favorite place was in
the rear, near the window, from which lie
was accustomed to look U)>oii the country
with a most observant eye. Receptions
were a bore to him, and once, when on a
visit to New Haven, it was with considera
ble difficulty that he could be induced to
leave a seat under a tree in the yard of the
late Henry Farnham, where he was smoking
a cigar aiid chatting with delightful infor
mality, to attend a grvit recipti n where
many thousands were waiting for him.
“At all events,” said he, "iet me smoke
another cigar before I go.”
Hayes was a good ileal of a traveler, and
except G iant w as the only President to visit
Iwe Pacific slope.
Gen. Arthur was fond of travel, but ab
horred public receptions. His two pro
longed trips, one into the wilds of Florida
and the other into the Yellowstone Park,
w ere made as privately as it was possible to
do it. And he greatly enjoyed the freedom
from conventional restraints of dress and
custom*.
Mr. Cleveland, in the little traveling lie
has done, find* the confinement even of the
]'alace enrs irksome, and whenever ho can
do so lie travels at night. He is the sound
est of sleepers in a car, but has a queer habit
of getting up as soon as dawn lightens up
the window. When traveling in the dny
time hb frequently sits for hours, neither
looking to the right nor left, but calmly
staring ahead, as though his mind were busy
with other things than those nnturallysug
gested by travel.
No President except Grant ever received
such a delegation as that which recently
came from Ht. Louis and Kansas City to in
vite Mr. Cleveland to visit those places, or
which is to come from St. Paul.
THE NIGGER SHOOTER
Some Racy Reminiscences of a Most
Formidable Weapon.
Frntti the dal vest on Fetes.
A knot of individuals were discussing
with n great deal of warmth yesterday in
front of Justice Spann’s court the myste
rious origin of that weapon dear to ju-
Vcnile heart* known as the“’nigger-shoot
er.”
Gio first time I ever saw one,” said one
,l! tins, talkers dreamily, “was when I was
in X. w (irlians about twenty years ago. ft
ws a kid invention, but where, when, or in
"tat manner it came into use leunnot
*uy. All I know is that I began to use the
instrument with as much enthusiasm as any
ef the ;tang, and it was not until I had been
sowntily thrashed byared-Jiiced butcher
,i v hitting him with a slug from tho ‘nig
ger shooter’ on the back of the ear that I
concluded to give up the sport. Hut, wliuw!
pidn’t wo use to have gay old times smash
ing w indow panes and tlien skipping away
before wo could bo call gilt i That was
• lie best fun of all. Many who arc grown
is vr w ill remember those times with a thrill
°> oollghk How did wc do itf Wo’d go
W’quud tho street* in regular squad* at
”'gnt, and let drive with a liulf dozen ‘nig-
K rr slnsjtors’ at French plate glass in the
trout door of a mansion. Of cour*e wo
all ought to have been thraslied within an
inch of our lives, but m didn’t think so
then. On the contrary we thought it was
tt" grandest kind of sport, and wo enjoyed
it only os youngsters possessed by the devil
c**u. I came to Galveston while still in my
teens, and found to my unbounded joy that
we ‘nigiter-BhooUir’ was a most potent-'
factor among the kid element of the 7s’and
Utty. It did not take me very long to in
gratiate myself thoroughly into them good
graces, and seeing that niv knowledge of
the weapon was a little more advanced than
tueir own they elected me high muck-a
muck, a position I held for some time with
great pride. There's no telling what a set
of mischievous youngsters is capable of
doing. We used to climb up in old garrets
toat overlooked back yards and shoot at the
rear window panes of adjoining houses. Of
course, the panes would be smashed, and,
of course, the perpetrator of the dark deed
was never found. But we had a still more
amusing sport than that. What do you
think we’d dot Some warm summer days
wed climb way up into the top of a
tree very near some sidewalk and cunningly
wait for victims. For missiles we had gath
ered a number of pebbles, and nicely ad
justing these in the ‘holder’ or ‘bag’ or the
‘niggersshooter,’ we would pop it to every
man who chanced to pass beneath the fatal
tree. We would always try to hit him
on the leg, as he would then imagine that
the shot came from below and not from
above. It makes me almost double up w ith
laughter even now when I think of the utter
surprise depicted on the countenances of
those who got hit. They’d look around and
above, look at the windows of the opposite
house very savagely, and look everywhere
but in the proper direction. We were al
ways eouuurttibiy ensconced in the depths
of the tree’s foliage. We continued to ply
this business without interruption until one
very sud day, and tiiat was when we pre
sumed to take a whack at a royal cop. He
strutted beneath the tree with such a majes
tic air that simultaneous with our shots we
uttered a slight titter. That settled our
hash. That cop calmly waited beneath the
tree with a drawn club, and we ruefully de
scended and wore taken into custody. That
little event put a damper upon our sport,
though it did not kill it entirely. Another
thing we did was to shoot pigeons on the
street, and then skip. I remember well one
Christmas eve when the nigger-shooter
proved the turning point in my career. I
had just been engaged in the innocent
pastime of shooting a leaden slug high up
in the air and so calculating the distance as
to let it fall down upon the roof of a hot
house 100 yards away. Each descending
slug w-oiild smash a pane of glass, and I was
extremely happy at the good result. While
I was still softly whistling and smashing
the roof panes, I saw somebody leaning
over the fence and beckoning to me to
approach. I was about to do so, when I
noticed that he had one hand behind him.
That excited my youthful suspicion, and I
decided to keep my eye on that hand.
“My little man,’’ he said sweetly, “can
you tell me who has been firing a pistol at
my hot-house (” aiul he took some of the
slugs and showed them to me.
“Emboldened by the thought that he sus
pected somebody else, I approached to ox
amine the slug, and the next thing I knew
he had me over the fence by the collar and
exhibited the hidden hand, which held a
lithe cowhide. I thought iny time had come,
and was about to yeli murder, when he lift
ed the cowhide menacingly. That was
quite enough. I believe it was owing to
owning tip and telling the truth that I es
cajied one of the most awful lickings imag
innble, right in front of my own house, too.
But it taught me a lasting lesson, and I
foreswore nigger-shooters altogether. But
it has always been a mystery to me how
the name ‘nigger-shooter’ originated.
“I remember the darned thing well,”
spoke up another “early citizen,” “and I’ll
tell you how I think the name originated.
During the war a railroad track was laid to
the point, and they used to bring nigger
workmen out and in aH the time. The track
ran right along the fortresses, and as the
train went by all the ‘boys’ would get their
shooters ready and pelt the niggers black
and blue. You just ought to have seen ’em
dodge to keep clear of the pebbles and slugs!
A slug from‘a “nigger-shooter’ stings like
fire, and the sweetest, tempered man would
get wild if he was hit by one. Those nig
gers would dread passing the forts, for they
knew what was coming, Dut they’d have to
stand it. Now that’s the reason that I
think they are called ‘nigger-shooters,’
though I’ve heard it said that during the
war up North they called ’em ‘rebel-shoot
ers.’”
‘When I was a kid,” spoke up another,
1 ‘l’d get in my work on organ grinders
with that very weapon. While ne’d be
playing for all he was worth and making
the monkey perform, I’d fire at him through
the slats of a blind, and there wouldn’t be
any more infernal music around those
diggings. I used to carry one in my pocket
all the time, and many’s the sly shot I’vo
taken at people while I was hidden.”
Such were some of the reminiscences of
an instrument that at one time formed a
most important part of the education of
the juvenile element of Galveston. They
are still used by the rising generation in
some measure, but without the old-timed
fire. In fact the “nigger-shooter” has seen
its liest days and is steadily on the decline.
The instrument was usually composed of a
fork cut from an oleander bush, on the
prongs of which two pieces of elastic would
be tied which terminated in a leather bag.
The bag held the missiles which caused so
much injury, and not only boys but men
became at one time crack shots with the
“nigger-shooter.” But their day is no
more.
A DETECTIVE’S RIDE.
H!s Experience in a Horse Car With
the Conductor and a Passenger.
From the .Vein York Commercial Advertiser.
Chief Drummond, of the Secret Service
Department of the United States Treasury,
has his headquarters in the post office build
ing, and is one of the most übiquitous de
tectives in Gotham. His business is arrest
ing counterfeiters and keeping generally
posted on the subject of counterfeits. He
knows in an instant a spurious ’coin, and
any smaller than SI he destroys by placing
the piece between his massive jaws and
breaking it. The other day he had a
curious adventure. He was going up town
in a surface car and handed the conductor
$l. When tho change came back the sharp
eyes of the detective discovered a counter
feit dime. He placed the coin between his
teeth, broke it, and handed the pieces back
to the conductor. The conductor became
angry and liogan to upbraid the chief for
mutilating the spurious coin.
It then occurred to the detective that
perhaps the conductor was “shoving the
queer,” so he asked him if he had any more
bogus coins. The reply was that it was
none of his business. Then followed a little
scene. The chief said in a commanding
way: “Show me nil the money you have
on your person.” The conductor evidently
suspected something and showod all Ids
money, pulling His pocket wrong side out
ward.
A man seated next to the chief said he
vould tie binder und blitzened if dot man
Jived who vould make him turn his pockets.
Ho then told the detective what bad luck lie
lmd in passing a counterfeit dollar. He
sad lie kept a store on the east side, and
every day he offered that bad dollar to a
customer, but it never left the counter tie
fore it was discovered and handed back to
him. Ltin brother-in-law, who also kept a
store, had better luck, so whenever ho was
taken in with counterfeit money he sold it
at n discount to his brother-in-law.
“If you have any of those counterfeit
coins on your |ierson now, I will send you
to State prison,” coolly remarked the detec
tive.
“Vot you take mo for, a flat?”
“I’ll take you for my prisoner, if vou say
you have spurious coin on you that you in
tend to pass.”
The detective threw back bis coat, dis
playing his large shield.
“I vas a liar, I vns a liar,” cried the man,
as he got up hastily and fled from tho car,
amid roaiwof laughter from the passengers.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. AUGUST Ifi. 1887.
A COW’S HEAD.
Vaccination Causes a Picture of One to
Appteir on a Boy s Arm.
From the Han tYancisco Alta.
It is a disputed question among members
of the med.Vfal fraternity as to whether vac
cine matter injected into a human being’s
system really ixxssesses the power which for
so many years lias been attributed to it of
preventing the person so vaccinated from
falling a victim to the dreadful disease,
small jxix. Strong reasons are urged both
for and against the practice of vaccination.
Disputants of the anti-vaccination school
boldly proclaim that the scabby material
furnished by the bovine species inoculates
the human blood with all manner
of diseases and disorders. Now and
then, rarely it is true, isolated cases are re
ported where persona have suffeied fearfully
after going through a course of vaccina
tion. The afflicted ones have usually been
childien of tender ages, and it is not long
since that a case was reported from a little
town in Connecticut where an infant was
made insane through the effects of the ‘Pois
onous’’ bovine virus in its blood. San Fran
cisco has at last gained its shining example
in this line. It cropped up last week in the
health office, and it is really a strange, if not
marvelous, manifestation of the freaks that
vaccine matter will play with the blood
of-the human system.
“I want to see the doctor,” said a tall
woman, with a physique like a historic
Roman matron, entering the Health
Office during a vaccination matinee, drag
ging a boy about 10 years old by the hand.
“Yes’m; just get into line with your little
one,” said the obliging attendant.
“Oh, yes,” cried the woman fiercely, as
she drew back and glanced at the at
tendant, “you wquld just like to rope me in
again, wouldn’t you, with your smoothy
ways ?”
“What do you mean, ma’am?” asked the
astonished attendant.
“You don’t recollect me, probably, but I
do you,” was the rejoinder. “I came in
here three weeks ago and had my dear little
Johnny vaccinated, and it’s a pretty mark
you made ou his arm. Say, what pizen is
that you use?”
“Best matter from the finest cow farm in
Pennsylvania,” murmured the attendant,
while the loquacious matron became tho
centre of attraction in the office.
“Stuff from a cow farm? I should say it
was! It’s just chuck full of cow, I should
judge. On, it’s lucky I didn’t bring my
little girl here. You’d have had a herd of
cows sprouting out on her face, to spoil her
beauty. Just see here!"
As the woman was speaking she drew tho
sleeve of “littlo Johnnie’s” shirt up to his
shoulder, baring the arm. A cry of aston
ishment was echoed from those around.
On the white flesh just below the shoulder,
and where it is considered proper to locate
the vaccine matter, was a black blotch of
irregular shape. It was about the size of a
silver dollar. A second glance showed that
the irregular shape of the blotch was given
to it by its being an exact representation of
a cow’s head, en silhouette. The nose, jaw
and horns were perfect. There was even a
speck of white flesh visible where the eye
was supposed to be located.
“It’s painted!” cried a dozen voices.
“No, ’tain’t,” snapped the mother, vic
iously, as she eyed the now thoroughly dis
composed attendant ;md other attaches of
the office who had gatliered around. (Sure
enough, a closer inspection proved conclu
sively that the blotch was caused by the dis
colored blood gathered under the skin. It
was a cow’s head done in blood. The sight
of the picture seemed to arouse the mother’s
wrath to an alarming extent.
“Now, what do you think of that?” she
vociferated, advancing threateningly upon
the shrinking attendant, whom she evi
dently took for the artistic, surgeon who had
operated on Johnnie’s arm. “That there
cow’s head came out on his arm as the sore
healed up. It’s a burning shame.” The lady
was pacific 1 finally by being told the mark
could possibly be removed by a skillful sur
geon; that it was only a gathering of blood
beneath the skin.
She at last departed in a mild state of
wrath, without giving her name or address,
and did not appear to appreciate the sug
gestion of a facetious reporter who had
watched the proceedings, that she rent little
Johnnie out to a dime museum. The possi
ble effects of vaccination, as displayed in
little Johnnie’s case, did not cause much
consternation among the children who were
to be operated upon, and, five minutes after
the matron’s departure, the regular work of
vaccination was going merrily on.
BART WALLACE’S UNCLE.
How the Efforts of a Budding Actor
Were Appreciated-
From the Philadelphia New.
Bart W. Wallace, the actor, was in the
city yesterday. Bart is a good story teller,
and liis little tales are frequently “on” him
self, yet he enjoys them as keenly as if they
were about tbe “other follow.” To show
the elevation the stage has attained in tho
minds of some people, Bart told tho follow
ing incident: “Homo years ago, when I
first entered tbe profession, I was ‘barn
storming’ through the coal regions of
this State. We struck a small mining
town which I learned was the abid
ing place of an uncle of mine
whom I had not seen since I was a boy. I
made myself known to him. He was a Celt
of the ‘purest ray serene,’ and spoke the
English language with a brogue that knocked
Billy Carroll s ‘Far-down’ dialect com
pletely out.. That night we played an Irish
drama, and my worthy uncle sat in tho front
row. He was lavish in his applause, and
when the curtain went down aud I had
washed up he approached mg with a proud
smile that hardly prevented his snort
stemmed dudeen from falling from his lips,
and said: ‘Sure, Bart, me bye, it’s well I
knew yez tid boa barber, a play acthor or
the loikes.'
“There is little use of Mrs. James Brown
Potter attempting to elevate the stage, is
there?”

FVnnt the Vh {capo Journal,
A friend told me an amusing experience
the other day which illustrates the ingenuity
which a man, when he wants a drink very
badly, will exercise in order to obtain re
lief for his inordinate appetite. It ap
pears that a young man approached him on
tho street, and, telling a piteous tale of
privation and woe, solicited sufficient to
purchase a meal. My friend, who is pecu
liarly open to these appeals, much to the
detriment of his purse, gave the feliow all
lie hod about him in change, 10c., telling
him that would at all events keep him from
starving. Seizing tho money, the man
started off, aud was joined by n companion
who lmil lieen watching developments
from a short distance, and the two made
otf at a round pace in earnest consultation,
mid were followed out of cariosity
by iuy friend. The two entered a saloon
whore whisky is retailed at 10c. a glass and
the first mail, throwing down bis dime,
called for whisky straight. Hi izing tho bot
tle, lm poured out, a level tumblerful, much
to the secret indignation of the bartender,
who muttered something about “taking a
bath.” Raising the glass to his the
fellow drank half the contents, when, sud
denly stopping with a look or disgust, ho
said. “What's the matter with this whisky
anyhow l' “Nawthiu',” replied tho luiigiit
of the w hite upro.i and toe Alaska diamond
headlight, “you must 1* oft yer !ase; there
ain't nawthiu’ the matter with it.”
“Let me taste it,” ibM the triend, and
taking tlic glass he drained it to the dregs.
“1 don’t nee nothing the matter with it.”
“Well, I may Is l wrong, ’’ said the other, and
the two were leaving the saloon when the
burtendcr, whoso anger hod changed Into
admiration, wild: “Look here, you two
chaps, if over you are bal'd up for a drink,
conic in here and I’ll et ui'l treat. I’ve been
in the business ten years and thought I
knew all the ropes, but this tslrco the cake.”
My friend was of the Mine opinion, and said
if he hud another din to in his picket be
would have bestowed it oa the ingenious
rogue*.

ART IN PIANO CASES.
The designs of piano cases are
becoming more beautiful and ornate
every year. It is becoming an art
in itself—that of designing, carving
and elaborating piano cases. With
the improved machinery of our day
for carving, chasing and polishing,
a piano which now costs but a few
hundreds, before the war cost thous
ands of dollars.
Not only has the improved ma
chinery of the artisan and the pencil
of the artist been called into requi
sition to produce Albambric effects,
but tho most beautiful of woods are
now employed. The old dark rose
wood, while beautiful, will show
dust, finger marks and theslightest
scratch prominently and its polish
is never of long duration. But with
the curled French walnut, cherry,
mahogany, light rosewood and satin
wood, the polish is much more
durable, and certainly gives tho
room a much more cheerful aspect
than the dark and gloomy cases.
The grain of the fancy woods,
which wo have mentioned is simply
beautiful under the mirror-like
polish which is given a piano case,
and but few purchasers will take
tho old style case If they have an
opportunity of seeing the later and
far more beautiful styles.
We are running the Fancy Wood Cases
extensively this season, having in stock
even at this early date a superb line in
French Walnut, Mahogany, Cherry, Oak
and Light Rosewood.
Call and spend a pleasant hour in our
Cool and Airy Piar.o Warerooms, testing
and admiring the Magnificent Instruments
there displayed.
