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?” Enlightening a Barkeeper. 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*.

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. LUDDEN & BATES MUSIC HOUHE.
