OSSIAN LINDLEY'B PET ’COON.
It Is Fond of Good Things to Eat end to
Driah— To Make a ’Coon Pie.
From the Seu> York San.
Xoiithwood, N. Y., March 22.—CRsian
Lindley owns a pet ’coon, and is constantly
saying that nobody ever had so much fua
as he has had since the day in June lost
when the ’coon was captured. Mrs. Lind
ley, Ossian’s mother, is equally positive
that no woman ever had so much trouble
with a four-footed pet or a two-footed pet,
for that matter, as she has had since that
’coon became a member of the Lindley
family.
The Lindleva live on what is known ns
the Green clearing, a farm that was cut out
of the woods on the Conaliug brook many
years a 40, about a mile back in the big
woods from the narrow clearing that runs
up the bauks of the West Ca ada. The
house is one of the few good frame houses
located off the West Canada, and it has
door knobs on the outside doors instead of
iron latches, as most farm houses have up
this way.
(Hsian is a boy of 14. One day last June
he wa fishing down on the Conkling brook,
and got so interested in it that he did not
notice how late in the afternoon it was
until the sun eat down. Then ho started
home in a hurry, ana got so tired running
in about tea minutes that be had to sit
down on a log to re3t
While sitting there his eye fell on an un
usually large elm standing on a low bit of
ground on the further side of the brook.
Following the trunk with his eye, he no
ticed after a little while that one of the
largest branches was dead, and moreover
had a big h >le in it. He was just thinking
that tho hoi) would be a fine place for a
squirrel’s nest, when something much larger
than a squirrel appeared at the hole, crawled
out, and made its way down tho trunk until
it happened to see the boy. Then it scam
pered back.
Ossian went home, and the next after
noon set a big box trap at the foot of the
tree and baited it with tho remains of the
trout the family had had for breakfast.
That was very good blit for many sorts of
animas found in the north woods, aud it
was effectual in this case. In the morning
there were three very fuuny looking half
grown ’coons in the trap, and Ossian had a
terrible tug of it, but no end of fun getting
the trap home, for ho had to drag it on an
old hand sled.
When bis father came in for breakfast
(for tho trap was visited at daylight) he told
Ossian that two of the ’coons would just
serve to make a (good pie for dinner, while
the third could be saved for Christinas or
Thanksgiving. So two of them were killed,
and Mrs. Lindley boiled them and marie a
thick gravy with cream and poured the
gravy and the boiled ’coons Into a big milk
pan that had been lined with biscuit crust,
and put a cover of crust ovor all and baked
it in tho oven until it was a delicate brown
all over the top.
About the time the baking was done
Ossian came in from a halt day’s work
repairing fonco3 along tho edge of the
woods whero the breeze blew the smells of
balsntn and spruce and hemlock uround him
continually. Ossian was hungry, and
when ho smelled that baked pie he stood on
one foot and drew the other up to bis knee
in the ecstaey of delight and said:
“Ma’am, ain’t you nice? You bet you
ere.”
Ossian’s mother thinks him a very fine
boy, uidso ho is. If he wasn’t tho other
’coon would have been in a pie long since.
In order to tamo the ’coou that was to be
a pet, Ossian put it in a big dry goods box,
brought from Odit’s store, and there he fed
it with potato and odds aud ends of meat
nnd fish and frogs and lettuce aud bread.
The little beast ate everything greedily.
One day the boy had in his hand a piece of
bread with some wild strawberry preserves
(nit. While he looked at tho ’coon t e
bread fell into tfte box. It astonished the
boy very much to see the ’coon eat tho pre
serves first and then the bread. That gave
him tho idea that it liked sweet things, and
so ho got a saucer of molasses for it. It
swallowed that much faster than it had
ever done anything before.
In his hurry to get another snuoerful for
it, Ossian went to tho house (the coou was
kept in tho barn) without fastening the
door of the box. Going to the molasses jug
in tho pantry, ho put the saucer on tho
floor, arid, picking up the jug, began pour
ing out tho molasses. At that moment tho
coon appeared a id jabbed its nose into the
black stream and grunted with delight.
Tho ’coon had followed him to the house to
got more molasses, aud with success.
Having proved its >lf so tame aud willing
to follow its master, the ’coou was not
fastened in the pen that day, but was simply
carried out to the barn and left there.
Thereupon Mrs. Lindley’s trouble began.
The ’coou was carried to tho barn at about
10 o’clock. It was on a Saturday, and Mrs.
Lindley was making doughnuts and pies for
Sunday. That is t e regular thing for Her
kimer county wives to do, but Mrs. Lindley
was making au unusual spread, because
friends were expected next day. Mrs. Lind
ley, as fast as her doughnuts were fried,
spread thorn on the dining-room table to
cool, and after a little, when the pies were
baked, placed them in the windows on the
cool side of the house. It was hot work
frying doughnuts and baking pies in such
weather, as every good hone wife knows,
and nobody could blame Mrs. Lindley for
going into the parlor when it was all done
to look ovor the Boouville Herald that had
arrived tho night before and had in it all
the news from the country side.
44 0116 she sat there in the big rocking
chair fanning herself she heard through the
open window the hollow thud of a pie that
had been knookei out of the window and
had lands 1 bottom side up on tho ve anda
floor. Very much astonished she ran out
to see what had happened. There wis the
you gprocyon lotor helping himself to pie
with great satisfaction. She said “scat,”
and the ’coou fled. Only one pie had been
destroyed, and after cleaning up “the mess
the nasty thing made of it” Mrs. Lir.dley
went back to her paper.
Then the’coon came back to its pastry.
This time ho climbed in the window, nibbled
at tho other pies there, and then seeing the
doughnuts thought then tnoro attractive
and straightway jumped on the table.
Such a time as he had there! The crisp
sweot crust on the doughnuts was precisely
to hi:, taste, and when ho had eaten so much
that his belly all but dragged on the table,
he squared down in the midst of Li s feast
and licked the dainty cakes nearest him.
In this condition Ossian found him. Ho
looked so very comioal that the boy sat
down ou tho nearest chair aud laughed till
the tears cirne, aud even Mrs. Lindley,
vexed as she was to see the ruin wrought
with her good things, had to laugh.
From that time on Mrs. Lindley’s chief
object in life was tho keeping of the ’coon
out of the house. Tho kitchen doorways
wero provided with screens, aud slats were
nailed over the kilehen windows. But that
would not do. Somehow the young rascal
lenrne ! that the door knobs had only to be
turned to open a door, and when the kitchen
door was found barred some other door was
attacked. Incredible as it may seen, the
’coon w uld climb up the door frame, clasp
the knob in its fore-paws, and, turning the
knob, open the door. Once inside the hcase
it soon learned bow to lift the iro i latch
that hold the pautry door. Its sense of
smell probably took it to the pantry. There
notiiing not carefully covered was safe.
Bread, meat, milk, butter, cheese, sugar,
pastry, sweets of all sorts, in fact, anything
from raw potatoes to preserves, from raw
jiork to broiled partridge, was found to the
taste of the young beast, but seldom did it
seem win Uy to satiate Us appetite.
Meantime Ossian was training it os dogs
are trained. It was taught to sit up a it*
l uunches and fold it* raws when fold that,
it was time to pray. It .would on the word
a: eh up Us back nice on angry cat, and at
t ■“ same time spread the fur ou its ringed
tail in a way that was interesting. It learned
to Miatl wln u told that dogs were coining,
aud, as a climax to all its other tricks, it
would, when told to laugh, lie down ou its
back, paw the air with all four feet, open
" ids its mouth, and squeal in a voice that
"a* excruciatingly funny to all who beard
iu But os Mrs, Lindley justly observed,
the more it learned the worse it became in
its behavior about the pantry, and the more
care aad to bo observed to keep it out of
mischief.
Its Jute*. exploit has set the whole country
side talking. Although bv ua means a
drmkmg man, Mr. Lindley ou occasion
tak<M a bit ofstrong I,quor, and th3 par
ticu.ar favorite which pleases him most is
good whisky. He k?epi a bottle of it inthe
house all the time, aud takes three or four
drinks a year from it. Last Saturday night,
after a hard day’s work la the rain, air.
Lindley concluded that a drop, wita hot
water, sugar and nutmeg, just bef re going
to bed, would about touch t:.e spot, and so
Mrs. Lindley mixed it for him. Then tho
family went to bed and to sleep.
As the first rays of sunshine came into
tile family bedroom on Sunday morning
Mrs. Lindley awoke, hearing some noisa iu
the kitchen. Going a. ftlv to tho kitchen
door she peepsd iu. Tiiero was the ’coon oa
the table. Beside it lay tho whisky bottlo
uncorked, while a great puddlj of the
liquor had spead ovor the table and run
down on the floor. Tho coon paddled ab ut
in the liqu or, stopped now aud then to lap
it, stood still, opened and shut its mouth
hilariously, jumped up and dow i, ran to
tho edge of tho table and looked at the
puddle ou the floor, jumped down and drank
of tha’, arched its b ick aud spread its tail,
jumped back and drank more, rose on its
bind legs and shook its head from side to
side and wagged its tail, and then jumped
sideways until it missed its footing and
tumbled over on the floor. There it lay ou
its back and kicked and squealed. The ’ecoa
had uncirkad the whisky and wa3 drunk.
Words fail to convey an adoquato idea of
the comical and human actions of the
drunken beast.
Not only was it human in its cups, it was
human ia recovering. It eventually got
sleepy drunk and was laid out in the burn
by Ossian, where it remained until Monday
morning. At breakfast time it was scratch
ing at the kitchen door and Ossian let it in.
It was a picture of woe. Ossian offered it a
plate of potato and gravy, but it turned
awav iu disgust. Mr. Lindley laughod very
heartily at that and called tor the whisky
bottlo that; had an ounce or two left in it. A
teasponnful was taken by tho ’euon with a
look of grutitudo in its eye that was touch
ing. Then a saucer of coffee and milk with
out sugar was accepted, after which a bit of
toast was eaten daintily, and then the ’coon
was ready for another sleep. It was two
days in recovering from its sproe.
GREAT HEIRESSES TO WED.
Mias Fair to Become Mrs. Oelrichs.
Dr. Ferguson and. Miss Armour.
From the Sew York Preen.
New York, March 24.—The matrimonial
news is that two great heiresses are engaged
to be married to two masculine beauties.
The young ladies are Miss Tessie Fair,
daughter of tho famous California million
aire, and Miss May Armour, daughter of
the equally celebrated Chicago Crcasus.
The young men ayo .New Yorkers, and much
alike in being big, broad-shouldered, ath
letic fellows, either of whom might servo as
a model for a st ituo of Adonis. Herman
Oelrichs is the choice of Miss Fair. Ho is
wealthy himself, and for fifteen years at
least has figured as a clubman, a patron
and participant in athletic sports, and lat
terly as a politician, having acted as chair
man of tho democratic campaign commit
tee. His popularity among men about town
is great, he is a free stiender of money, and
a convivialist of the first order.
Oelrichs first met Miss Fair at Newport a
year ago last summed, and was in her society
again there aud at Saratoga last year. Tho
engagement is undetStood to date from the
season last mentioned, although it was not
divulged until lately, and not positively
confirmed until this week. A magnificent,
wedding is to be celebrated, but not uutii
next autumn.
The coupling of Dr. Frank Ferguson and
Miss Armour affords some interesting facts.
Ferguson is a handswdr chap than Oelrichs,
beiug a six-footer with a fine face aud a
complexion as clear a girl’s. He is about
35 years old. He catjkj? to this country from
Scotland ut the agtf Sf 20, and the Scotch
accent is still perceptible in his speech. He
went to work in this city as a shoemaker,
but the bench proved an uneasy seat for a
young fellow of his ambition.’ Although
he began to carve out his own fortune with
a shoe-knife, ho soon changed the instru
ment to a surgeon’s scalpel. He got work
in St. Luke’s hospital, one of the largest in
the city, his duties being mixedly those of a
janitor and a custodian of the anatomical
department. He soou made himself valua
ble in the preparatioiLand care of surgical
specimens, and from /that advanced to the
department of dissection. He developed
surprising skill with tho scalpel, and five
years ago was appointed chief dissector at
St. Luke’s.
His ability in this speciality not long ago
led him into serious difficulty. VVheu
Bishop, the mind-reader, died at the hospi
tal. Ferguson sawed off the top of bis head
in order to supply his brain to the physi
cians, before the requisite order had been
given by a coroner. That was a breakage
of the law which forbids any post mortem
examination without formal authority.
Bishop’s mother made all the row possible,
and much in tor os towns excited by the fact
that Bishon himself, having been subject to
cataleptic fits resembling death, had dreaded
that he might bo buried alive.
Mrs. Bishop undertook to prove that he
was not dead at the time of Ferguson’s
operation, and the evidence was sufficient
to induce a grand jury to indict Ferguson
aud tho surgeon at whose orders he had
made the autopsy. 4Vithin a month after
this occurrence Ferguson repeate i the
offense and was promptly arrested. 44 r hethor
he will bo punished remains to be seen, but
his act. have at least led to a reformation
iu the matter of hasty dissection in tho
hospitals. His skill with the knife, how
ever, has brought to him a tolerable In
come, and while wielding it he has assidu
ously studied medicine aud surgery, with a
view of going into a general practice. He
affords an instance of a man self-made by
his own energy and brain.
Miss Armour has for several years spe it
considerable of her time in Now York city.
Her education in music and languages has
bean pursued hire, and sho has figured in
one of the many rich and polite circles of
society. Bheis good-looking, vivacious and
aimable, something more than 2J years of
age, and her friends say that sho doosea’t
put on airs because her father is a million
aire many times over. Sho has attended
services at Dr. John Hail’s church iu Fifth
avenue, whore Dr. Fergus on is an active
member. He has the direction of one of
the charities of this opulent congregation—
that of providing medical attendants in
connection with a mission chapel, and Miss
Armour contributed money aud time to
ttiis same particular good work. Tuus the
two persons were brought into a tamiliar
intercourse, which has developed into a
matrimonial engagement, the public an
nouncement of which is here made for the
first time. The wedding is sot for uext
September.
The pope, who still feels acutely tho death
of Ills brother Cardinal Feed, lias thrown
bis thoughts into Latin verse, the diction of
which is surprisingly and elegantly classical
rother than ecclesiastical. In w irds which
liis worst enemies will not find without a
a pathos of their own, he calls on his brother
in heaven to hold him in thought, bo being
outworn with care aud dim with ug ’, flip
ping from life. The sincerity of Leo XIII.’s
final words i* attested by hi* act-i, one < f
the latest of which is personally to superin
tend designs for his tomb.
