A THRILLING STORY. How Gen. Gordon Cared for Gon. Bar lcw p,om the Cincinnati Kequirer. The coming of Gov. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, to this city, was yesterday tho subject of conversation in a pari v of gen tlemen, one of whom was United States District Attorney Burnet. When the sub ject was brought up one gentleman paid a glowing tribute to the Gove: nor, anil this recalled an incident which occurred several vears ago at a banquet given at a fashion able hotel in New York city. Mr. Burnet relates the story, which is here given, and which certainly is a beautiful one— one of the many touching things connected with the soldier lite of many a man w ho answered when his country called. Gov. Gordon and his wife were visiting in New York at the time referred to, ami WERE PRESENT AT THE BANQUET. Directly opposite them at the table sat with his wife Gen Francis P. Barlow, for years prominent in Republican polities in New York State and during the war a gal lant soldier and a fearless man. Both gen tlemen were honored guests and sat near the head of the principal table. Gov . Gordon responded to a toast in his very choice man ner, and soon afterward it came the turn of Cell. Barlow. In lieu of an address the Uenerai in the most feeling manner related Lis experience at the great battle of Gettys burg. At that battle he lost one limb and another was terribly shattered. For months lie lavas one dead. Scarcely had he fallen, bleeding from numerous wounds, than a i onfederato General was over him looking kindly and anxiously down in his face. “A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER 1 :ui told his superior officer that a Union i eneral lay murdered upon the Held,” said Air. Burnet, “and the Confederate General Irud looked him up. Tenderly the Confeder ate General raised the head of Gon. Bar low to his lap. and poured some water down Ids throat, which was almost parched. Then he dispatched an attendant for a surgeon, whom he detailed especially to Gen. Barlow, and gave orders that ho should be shown every attention ami all respect due his rank as an officer. Gen. Barlow spoke freely of the treatment of the ('onfederate General, and as he recalled 1 best) scenes and trials the tears rushed to in's eyes, and there was not one about that festal board but was affected.” The surgeon gavo it as his opinion that Gen. Barlow would die, and the Confeder ate officer asked if anything more could be done. Gen. Barlow had received a letter from his wife just before the battle opened, and told the Confederate officer of it. The officer searched Gen. Barlow’s pocket and found the letter. There on the field, with hundreds of dead strewn about him, he read the letter. Then he had Gen. Barlow re moved to his own quarters, and he was called away. “a STRANGE THING HAPPEN'D!), TOO,” added Mr. Burnet. “Gen. Barlow’s wife had come ou to see him. He knew nothiug of it, and she, in some manner, was also made a prisoner. This Confederate General learned of her capture, and gave her the most marly treatment, himself passing her through the lines. ‘lt is one of the un fortunate affairs of war times,’ Gen. Bar low said, remarked Mr. Burnet, ‘that he never again met that officer.’ ” No jierson had been paying any attention to Gov. Gordon during the recital of this thrilling story. As Gen. Barlow proceeded, however, the Governor’s face lighted up with a strange expression. No sooner had Gen. Barlow finished than Maj. Gordon, a brother of the Governor, who was present, shouted: “It was my brother! It was niv brother!” Then all eves were bent upon the Gov ernor. One keen, anxious look passed from one to the other of the two great men. Then there was a glad shout of recognition, aud, passing around the table, both Gov. Gordon and Gen. Barlow were wrapped in each other’s arms. The tears streamed down their cheeks, while the guests, all vet erans, fairly went wild. From that time until Gov." Gordon’s visit at New York ended he was tho lion of the hour, toasted and feasted on all sides. A STRANGE STORY. A New York Murderer’s Heiress Dis covered as a New Orleans Nurse. From the New Orleans Picayune. During the year 1874, and years prior to that, a saloon in Algiers was owned by a German named John Lorens, a widower, who had one chili, a girl. 7 years of age in 1874. Lorens h<-t met with ill luck First he had lost Yu wife Frederieka, whose maid - <-u name we* Toegele. and 3oon afterward his little son, two years of age. Mrs. Lo rens died in 1881, and after that the care of the children which devolved on Lorens proved extremely irksome. Business did not prosper with him as he desired, either, aud probably he concluded to leave the city. His little girl he placed in the Protestant Episcopal Home on Jackson street, and then bade the city adieu forever. The child’s name was Elizabeth Catharine Lorens, and for some time after her father left the citv she eontmued to receive letters from him dated in various parts of the world. At last letters postmarked in South Africa were received, but iu 1878 these also ceased, and nothing more was heard of him here. The girl, who went by the name of Eliza lieth or Lizzie, grew .healthy, strong and was obedient, tractable aiid intelligent. Her life passed uneventfully until two yeaix ago, when a lady called at her home to en gage a nursemaid, and being impressed fa vorably with the appearance of Elizabeth determined to en age her services. The girl was quite willing, nay anxious to go with the lady, aud the arrangements were speedily consummated awl Elizabeth Lo rens became nurse at Mr. W. Blake's resi lience, No. 909 St. Charles avenue, between Constantinople aud Marengo. Elizabeth obtained a good home, and the lady of the bouse was kind, considerate, and by no means a taskmaster. Elizabeth bad plenty of leisure time to go out during the day when she had occasion to go out; but the lady of the house made it a rule, from which she never deviated, that all her ser vants should remain indoors after dark. Elizabeth was thus kept out of the reach of harm, and being naturally of a good dis position. sho became a modest, unassuming girl, without care or trouble. She is now about to euter her 20th year, her birthday occurring on Nov. 2 next. She is a stout, ruddy eomplexioned young lady,with brown hair and deep-blue eyes. Of her father’s whereabouts Elizabeth knew nothing, not having heard anything of him for nine years. A few days ago a horrible murder aiid suicide was committed in a cigar store iu New York city. John Lorens, the proprietor of tho store, mur dered one of his employes and then com mitted suicide. He left a letter addressed to the Coroner, in which lie said that he had nt one time kept the Fill -proof coffee house in New Orleans, and had left there and gone to the diamond fields in South Africa. He had been lucky and had accumulated con siderable wealth, and had on deposit, in the Bank of England i!28,300, or about $1411,000 in money. This he had be queathed to his daughter Elizabeth, who whs somewhere in the city of New Orleans. This fact was published in the Picayune. yesterday morning and one of the other ser vant girls in the house l ead of it anil at once jumped to the conclusion that tho heiressg and Elizabeth, her fellow-servant, were one and tho same. A comparison of dates aud names confirmed the girl’s sus picions and she told Elizabeth what she surmised. The girl took the startling news quite philosophically and calmly related the facts to Mr. Blake. Further investigation ieveloped the fact that the girl had been •aplizcd in the St. Paul’s Lutheran church >n Burgundy street, formerly Craps street, n the Third District, and that her father’s iiwne was John l>orens. The letters she had •eeeived from him hail unfortunately been nislaid, but search is now being, made for <hem and they will doubtless be lound. Last evening a reporter of tho Picayune visited the house of Mr. Blake and the heir ess answered the Doll. !>he declined to lie interviewed, but referred all inquisitor) to Mr. Blake her employer. Tlioro is no doubt as to the identity of the ‘girl ami she will have hut little difficulty in proving it. The only question is whether the amount she is to tall heir to is correctly reported, which, if true will make her inde pendent for the remainder of her lifetime if judiciously invested. Judging front the girl’s appearance and the ood report made of her by Mix. Blake, Elizubeth Lorens certainly deserves her good fortune. WHISKY DRINKERS FOOLED. It is Not a Very Hard Matter to Deceive Even a Veteran Tipper. From the Philadelphia Press. “I tell you no one but a professional whis ky taster can tell good liquors from bad,” said a gentleman who for years has been en gaged in the wholesale business to a Daily .Veil's reporter. “You and your friends walk up to a bar and insist upon having a certain bottle set out before you. That particular liquor suits your taste. It may or may not be good whisky, but I repeat, no one but professional tasters, or men who have been in the wholesale business for years, can tell beyond question good whisky from biul whisky, andl am ready to make the test any time you may feel like bringing whisky drinkers here for the pur pose.” The reporter wanted to see the test made at once anil hunted up three men who, from the quantity of liquors they imbibe, should be competent subjects for experiment. One was at the head of a Delaware avenue com mission house, another was a Camden edi tor, and the third was employed as a writer on Philadelphia papers for several years. “Well, to start with,” said the wholesaler, who among you are able to tell whisky from gin with your eves closed and your noses held tightly? Well, let’s see. Oh, you’re ready to b t ten to one you can tell, and probubly you can, but I’ll try you just the same.” The Camden editor’s eyes were blindfolded and a patent clothespin was placed on his nose. Two small glasses, one containing gin and the other whisky, were placed in his hands. He swallowed a portion of the whisky and exclaimed. “That’s gin.” The others laughed. They always knew the mail who failed knew nothing about liquors. Tho commission man tried it next. He said the gin was gin, and the Camden man said the nose was not held tight enough to keep the smell out. Tho third man tried it three times and w r as afraid to venture au opinion. Ho was given a giass of water, and he was ablo to tell what it was immedi ately, much to the others’ surprise. The commission man tasted each very carefully, and, picking out tho $1 2d whisky, said: “This suits my taste best, but this (indi cating the 42 glass) is the best liquor. ” The Camdec edit or selected the $3 75 as the best and the 41 25 as tho worst, but he could do nothing with the other two. The old news paper writer was almost as badly mixed up as was the commission merchant. “Now ” continued tho wholesale liquor man, “this 41 25 whisky, which one ox you selected, contains only five gallons of whisky to the barrel. This suits nearly everybody best because it is smoother. There is noth ing poisonous in the whisky, but it is simply cologne spirits, with whisky, water, etc.” The dealer, in order to convince the men that he had not, mixed the whiskies up for the purpose of fooling them, wiped each glass dry with a towel, and, giving them to one of the men, was able to tell which liquor each glass had contained simply by the smell. There was no smell At all in the glass which had contained the 41 25 whisky. “How often you hear drinkers say: ‘Why, this whisky has been sweetened.’ ” went on the dealer. “Now, that is all non sense, and I’ll prove it to you beyond ques tion.” He drew a gallon of whisky from a barrel, just out of bond, which bore the cus tom house marks showing that it was ten above proof. Then he called for a pint of syrup. Before mixing the syrup and whisky he placed a hydromatic bulb in the measure and it sank no farther than the ten degree mark above the circle marked “P” for proof. Then the pint of syrun was poured into the gallon of whisky and the testing bulb immediately sank to ten degrees below the proof mark. “You plainly see that if the wholesaler was to sweeten his whisky he would just re duce it twenty degrees in the valuation of the retailer, whose only means of testing is the hydrometer.” Several other tests of the ability of the old drinkers to distinguish between the good and the bad liquors were made, and in each instance the wholesaler’s decla ration that the average whisky drinker don’t know what ho is drinking was pretty clearly proven. TRAVEL IN COSfA RICA. Slow-Going Cartmen Who Do Not Know How to Steal Money, but Are Not Honest. h\om Harper's Magazine. A traveler who intends to take a steamer at Punta Arenas must send his baggage on a week in advance. He leaves the train at Aiajuela, mounts a mule, rides over the mountain to the town of Arenas, where he spends the night. The next morning at daybreak he resumes his journey and rides fifteen miles to San Mateo, breakfast at 11, takes bis siesta in a hammock until 4 or 5 in the afternoon, then, mounting his mule again, covers the ten miles to Esparza by sunset, where he dines and spends the night, usually remaining there to avoid the heat of Punta Arenas until a few' hours be fore the steamer leaves, and then, if the ox carts have como with his baggage, makes the rest of his trip by rail. The journey is not an unpleasant one. The scenery is wild and picturesque. The roads were usually good, except in the dry season, when they become very dusty, and after heavy rains, when the mud is deep, But under the tropic sun and in the dry air moisture evaporates rapidly, and in six hours after a rainfall the roads are hard and good. The uncertainty as to whether his trunks will arrive in time makes the inex perienced traveler nervous. The Costa- Rican eartmen are the most irresponsible aud indifferent beings on earth.' They travel in long caravans or processions, often with 200 or 800 teams in a line. When one chooses to stop or meets with an accident all the rest w ait for him if it wastes a week. None will start until each of his companions is ready, and sometimes the road is blocked for miles, awaiting the repair of some dam age. The oxen are large White patient beasts and are yoked by the horns, and not by the neck, as in modern style, lashings of raw cowhide being used to make them fast. They wear the yoke continually. The union is ns permanent as matrimony in a land where divorce laws are unknown. The cartment arc as courteous as they are in different. They always lift their hats to a caballero as he passes them and say: “May the Virgin guard you on your Journey.” Thousands of dollars in gold are often in trusted to them, and never was a penny lost. A banker of Sam Jose told me that he usually received $30,000 in coin each week during coffee season by these ox-carts, and considers it sufer than if he carried it himself, although the caravan stands in the open air by the roadside every night. High way robbery is unknown and the eartmen, with their wages of ,'JOc. a 'lay, would not know what use to make of the money if they should steal it. Nevertheless, they al ways feel at liberty to rob the traveler of the straps on his trunks, and no piece of baggage ever arrives at its destination so protected unless the strap is securely nailed; and then it is usually cut to pieces by the eartmen as revenge for being deprived of wlrnt they consider their perquisite. | m- Brown’s Bronchial Troche* tor Coughs, Colds aud all other Threat Troubles.—“ Pr eeminently the best.”— Rev. llenry H erd Beech er.

Y. who is now recognized us one of tho linest Pianists and most success ful Teachers that America has produced: “Mrs. Cary made flying visits to New York, receiving valuable Instruction from >S. B. Mills, and drawing inspiration from those two great tone masters, Thalberg and Goltschalk. Tho production of a jmre singing tone had always been a study with her, and, observing that these two great pianists used only the Chickening Pianos , she made a thorough investigation, which resulted in her purchasing the first Chick ering Grand that went into Western New York. (Since that time Mrs. Cary has been a firm and steadfast friend of that Piano Forte, and it is a matter of conscience with her to advise tho use of these instruments with her class, over 70 of whom possess Chickering Grands.” A Word to the Wise.— A Piano which is used and indorsed by such magnificent artists as Thalberg, Gottschalk, Rivi King, Teresa Careno, Win. H. Sherwood and Mrs. Cary is certainly a safe and desirable Piano to buy. Over 74,000 Chickerings have been sold, and to-day, as always, the Chickering Pianos lead the world.
