MAGAZINES.
The first installment of the selections
from Talleyrand’s long-expected memoirs is
the most striking feature of the January
Century. A sketch of Talleyrand by Min
ister Whitelaw Reid prefaces this install
ment. Tte opening pages tell of Talley
rand’s neglected childhood and his entry
into Parisian society. Tuey also give his
views of La Fayette, and the effect of the
American ou the French revolutio i; some
tccount < f the beginnings of the latter; a
very contemptuous opinion of the Duke of
Orleans- a sket-h of the author’s stay in
England and the United states, and a
highly interesting converse ion between
himself and Alexander Hamilton on free
trade and Protection. Before plunging
into the gold discovery, the California
s.Ties paus s at the “Pioneer Spani-b Fami
lies in California,” of which Cdorles
H. Shinn writes with special reference
to the Vallejos, a supplementary paper, by
Mr. Joh i T. Doyle, giving an account of
tne contemporary life in the Spanlsn "Mis
sions of Alia California.” Under the title
"A Romance of Morgan’s Rough Riders,”
a contribution is made to the group of
articles on the experiences of prisoners of
war. In the first of three ohaptei-s, Gen.
Basil W. Duke, who was Morgan’s right
hand brigadier, describes Gen. John H.
Morgan’s famous raid i to In liana and
Ohio; Gen. O. B. Wilcox contributes a
chapter on the capture of a large part of
the command; and Cant. Thomas H. Hi iet,
who planned the escape, relate-i how Mor
gan and a few of nis officers tunneled out
of the Ohio state penitentiary, and, at er
thrilling adventures, readied the Confed
erate lines. There is a great deal of other
interesting matter in the number. Tne

MISTAKES.
How One Struck “Sternberg’s.’’
“Mistakes will oo ur in the best regulated
families.” They’ve been occurring since
Adam, and will keep on happening till this
globe retires from active business. Some
mistakes we care little for; others make us
extremely unhappy. We met one of the
latter, to wit: We thought that the holiday
trade this year would gobble up al: the
stock we could get and cry for more. It
didn't gobble; it just nibbled; and we have
as a result some Fancy Stock on band that
“hadn’t orter.” Pretty, to be sure; unique
and attractive in every way. Alas! our
admiration for the beautiful in art has had
the edge taken off it. We pin* for money.
Consequence: We must sacii@cpqur artistic
and poetic feeli.:gs tod lie eol</, hrfrd require

fice our remaining lovely 1 examples of Fine
Art Wares, Flush Goods,
Bronzes. Vases, Glass and Cilicia Wares to
mammon. The holidays'arc quite gone;
desirable presents are always iu vogue.
Wedding presents are still sought for
Come and help us correct our mistake at
our expense. “Bargain” isn’t the expre
sion. “ Sacrifice ” alone will enable us to
beat a grace:ul retreat from our mistaken
position. Our Jewelry and Fine Silverware
lines can be viewed in connection, and we
are willing to put a very fine edge on our
profits even on them. Drop in and see us.
Look through, even if you don’t want any

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1891,
WAGES BIG MEN EARN.
ENORMOUS SALARIES PAID FOR
VERY LITTLE EFFORT.
Why it is That t orporations Pay
Large Sums to Those Who Manage
Them —lt Looks as Easy to Run
These Business Interests as i.oiling
Off a Log, but it sn’t.
from the .\mr To k Sun.
Some of the eo de in tne financial and
commercial circles are telling of a move
ment among certain employers and heads of
great h uses to cut down salaries for the
ensuing year. This line of policy has bsen
dictated, it is said, by the events of tne last
few months, and it has opened up a most
inte esting discussion about the big salat ies
paid here.
Chauncey Depew has always keen very
reticeiu as io his salar. as president of the
New York Central, but others wno appear
to be fanular with bis income say ibac ue
cer.ai lv receives from the New York
Central 875,000 a year, a id that he makes
from his outside legal practice an additional
8-5,000, making his total income 8100,000 a
year. This may seem an exorbitant sum
to pay to a man whose career by most
f Iks ”is thought to he one of
unalloyed pleasure. But Mr. Depew
does not receive the $75,0w0 from the New
Y rk Central in remuneration for any
severe manual strain in his part, hut for
his comprehendve knowledge of the affairs
t f that company and his ability to direct
them with the least possible friction. Mr.
Depew’s office from early morning to late
at night is filled with all sorts of people,
with ail sorts of ques.ions, and the man
who receives the big salary he does must be
able to answer them most sati factorily,
and always in the interests of the New Y'ork
Central.
Then take some of the salaries of other
New Yorkers: H. B. Hyde, president of the
Equitable Life Assurauce Society, receives
8:50,000; James W. Alexander, the vice
presiden , 840,090, and John A. McCall, the
comptroller. 825,00 J. R. A. McCurdy,
president of the Mutual Ins n ance Company,
receives 850,00 J., aud R. A. Graunis, ti.e
vice preside t, receives 830.U00. W. H.
Beers, president of ihe New York Life In
surance Company, receives 860,000, and Dr.
Henry luck, the vice president, t lO.OJO.
John R. Hegeman, the vioe president of the
Metropolitan Insurance Company, receives
835,0b0 D. O. Heald, president of the
Home Fire Insurance Company,gets $35,000,
and John W. Murray, the vice president of
the Gennau-Ainer can Company, $35,000.
Then look >t some of the sala ies paid to
t e chief officers of banks and trust c im
pames. Frederic P. Oicott, president of
the Central Trust Company, receives SOO,-
000; Richard King, president of the Union
Trust, receives 850,000; Gen. Louis Fitzger
ald, president of the Mercantile Trust Com
pmy, receives John A Stewart,
pre’ident of the United states Trust Com
pany, toddles along ith $50,000, and Col.
W. L. Treuholm, president of the Amer
ican Surety Comiany, receives $20,000.
President Williams of the Chemical Bank
and President Perkins of the Importers and
Traders’, each receive $20,000, and the
ave age salary of other bank presidents
in New York is from SIO,OOO to $15,000.
There is a long string of such salaries, and
the gen -rai opinion is that the men earn
t .ieir money.
T..e interests of these vast companies are
all under the minute observation of the
commanding officer. These interests ex
te and over all the globe, and require the
greatest judgment and the most skillful
knowledge of affairs. Many of these officers,
by their kaow.edg.: of affairs of state and
nations, Bave theii companies annually ten
times the salary they receive. They are
provided against almost every system of
blackmail by reason of ther vast experience
la :he conduct of their companies, and earn
tbei salaries many times over.
Up in the dry goods district the big men
of the Clafliu Lompanv, Te rt, Weller &
Cos., and otner firms of that caliber, receive
o i an average 85,000 to SIO,OOO a year.
Ibe e are several exceptions where b vers
and oth rs run their income up from SIO,OO
to *20,000 a year. This is in the dry goods
jobbing branch, because in the dry goons
c immission branch the avenge salary of
an employe Is from $2,500 to $5,00 J a year.
Tnere are exceptional people who receive
$7,500. All of t hese people earn their money,
too. The vast experience neoos ary to buy
goods successfully and to keep in touch with
the vast competition • f the present day is
certainly worth a liberal 'ncome. Then the
selling of goods requires on extended ac
quaintance, much personal outlay aud the
temperament of a diplomat.
Loo iug over these few facts and figures
the sala. y of ti e Piesident of the United
States comes in for consideration. The
President receives 850,000 a year, and from
the day he enters tne white house until the
hour he leaves it very few “men can tell
how hard he earns his money. There can
be no adequate rule of compensation applied
io his case. The vast army of office-hold
ers and offlee-seeke s who besiere him
ought to make the place worth $500,000 a
year at the least. But possibly iho com
pensation for the place is eked out by its
great ho or and the hurrahs and cheers
whic greet the President, no matter how
u popular Ue may he, whereve'- he goes.
The salute < t the great cruisers, the
bands playing “Hail to the Chief,”
the g eat personal honors shown
the holder of the office, no doubt
are intended to make up the compensation,
which ca not be represented by his salary
of $50,006 a year. The cabinet officers re
ceive SB,OOO ii year. Sonators and congress
men receive each $5,000 a year. Gov. Hill
receives SIO,OOO a year, and the senators
and assemblymen receive $1,5/0 a year.
One has only to look at the diff rence in tne
figures received by men in | üblic life and
those paid to men who reach the pinnacle in
business life in New York to observe the
great difference and to wonder at it. Tha
wonder .s that men of the personal abilities
at the head of the national and sta e gov
ernments should consent to accept the sal
aries paid to them. But then comes the
universal statement that the honors of the
places held t.y them, io a measure, must
make up for this vast difference in the pe
cuniary compensation.
A Live Man With a Monument.
For the past ten days, says the New York
Sun, there bas been iu Washington on busi
ness before congress a man who has had a
most dangerous and peculiar experience.
He is one of the few men in history who
have had monuments erected to them bef re
they were take iby death. The man is CoL
James F. Wilson of Virginia, bu originally
of Illinois. Col. Wilson inarched into Vir
fiuia during the late war at the head of an
bin is regiment. His home was Pe >ria, in
that state. At he battle of Cha icellore
rille he was in the thickest of it. A bullet
struck him in the forehead and came out at
the bask of the head. He was reported dead
to the war depart nent, and through that
channel to his family at home. But ne was
was not dead. An old colored man and scov
ered signs of life in him the day after the
fighting and took him to his cabin, ihe
bullet had followed the convolu
tions of the brain, and the man lived.
But for fi e or six yea s he re
membered nothing prior to the time at
which he came to ~i nself in t e oi l darky’s
cabin. He esta lished himself in Virginia
after the war was over, and built up a good
business. He entered into politics and be
come one of the republican leaders. Grad
ually his mi. and cleared up and recalled the
antecedents of bis life. He went back to bis
home iu Peoria an 1 found his family all
well. He also found in the family lot in the
cemetery a neat monument erected by his
wife and children to the memory of C >l.
Cuarles F. Wilson, “who fell fighting
va iantlv for his country” at the battle of
C-anceHorsviile. CoL Wilson bad become
so enamored of life In Virginia that he took
bis family back there with him as perma
nent re idem s. His monument still stands
in Peor a. Col. Wilson says that he would
not have it taken down for anything And,
besides, he djes not know when he will ever
get another.

Tne elder of the two was about as tough,
leathery looking s specimen of laboriginal
ugliness as I hav e ever fallen tn> tilth, end
making due allowance for diffUcNires in age
tbe daughter was the perfect nu*b of her.
Toey both cast their lands uneers* oniously
aside and tbe e der proceeded at once to
business. Watching me/ Josely as she did
so she rolled a large handful of leaves in ber
ha and until they were par.tally pulverized,
then passed them over to the younger squaw,
who s-ion made a pint of very bitter tea
from them which 1 Wus told td drink. I
managed to gulp it down, hot anti Bitter as
it was, and the old squaw then >scized me
without ceremony, packed ms snugly m
bearski i and blankets, after which she and
ber daughter, wrapping their own blankets
about them, lay do >u ou either side of me,
crowding me in a manner more lo>e than
pleasant.
1 trust King David's medicine, which an
swered the purpose so well, was h#t a squaw
—or, if s.ie were, that she was young and
good looking. e
My leathery belles, however, answered to
help net up a copious | ersptrafcio-i, which
was just what they -intended; and when I
awoke from the first sound refreshing
sleep I had ei j >yed for weeks it was
v ith a cool, clear head and litnbs free from
pain. i; ‘
With the rise of tlie sun the Confounded
aaue began to threaten me, and Mrs. Black
board, with the hMp of her interesting
daughter, proceeded to take measures for
expelling it in a manner quite as novel aud
original as her treatment of fever. First
she undid a bund e of dirty blue cloth and
took therefrom several bundles of neatly
bound, minute twigs. I bad th ard s>n e
bard stories of “whippin’ oat the ager,” and
smelied a pntty extensive* unco imme
diately, but on the whole oonciuded to
got’Tongh, so I suffered t :em to divest me
of my clothing aid seize me firmly by
the wrists, and no, qbjfctlon even
when Mrs. Blackbird began to apply
the switches the bat-a Bkin. Grad
ua.ly the blows increased in rapidity a> and
seve ity; old Peter, who h and stood by a.
spectator at first, stepped forward and seized
a wrist firmly in each hand, so suddenly
that I had no time to object, aud the wbi -
ping immediately became energetic and
genera). Each of the squaws with a switch
in each hand vied with the other in rap ditv
of hitting, and as the siuggis torpid blood
strove to dash with answering speed through
tbe ting ing veins tbe pain became unendur
able. I resolved to bear all that was
asked of me in bope of a radical cure,
but the torture was too severe; and
I ordered them to desist, trying at
the same time to wrench myself 100 e from
Peter, They only laughed and laid on ti e
h .rder. I became mad with pain and went
in nn my muscle, biting and butting furi
ously at old Peter ad giving the leathery
females ungalia t kicks shout tbe ribs and
abdomen—a proceedi g that made them
laugh all the more and brought dona the
switches with increased vigor. 1 entu aied
and cursed by turns, tried bribery and
flattery, bazged for a. resting spell
and threatened death to the party
of conspirators immediately I g t
loose, but all in vain. They fl -gged me for
a time that seemed an age. / and only let me
- ff when I wan t o exhausted to stand alone.
Then I was again enyeloj jd in skins rind
blankets, w den, strange as lit may seem, 1
almost imm diatoly fell into a deep slum
ber, from which 1 did not awaken until
evening. When 1 did awake it was with a
general sense of soreness all over the outer
inan; but where wag tbe ague? Gone.
Completely cured, as well as the fever.
Tbe Ape and r the ats.
Not far from tbe cags of two bears at tbe
Zoo, Rixv, the big ape, Is confined. Two
weeks ago Roxy was a well-satisfied and
amiable ape, but now be is mon sea and acts
very much like a person with a vigorous
case of indigestion. The reason for this is
because be has lost his playmates, says the
P./iladelphia Record. Headkeeper Byrne
noticed several moat.is Age that the rats
displayed a derided preference for Roxv.
They ran all about the floor of his cage, hid
in the straw and did not seem to be a hit
afraid of bim.
In fact, the good-natured fellow has often
been seen to take one of tbejittle visitors
up in his arms and soothe and pet it as ten
derly a a mo: her would an ailing child.
Bu: the attraction was s >mettiing the keep
ers c uld uot fathom, so a close waicb was
kept on his movements. 15-ery day for h s
dinner Roxy is fed a peck 06 so of i oi.ed
swee ■ potatoes. Directly after dinner one
day the mystery was explained. R >xy
broke off the ends of all bis sWe t potatoei
and tossed them about the fl or of his cage.
Iu less than two minutes a ilozan or mure
rats were inside having a good meal.
Steps were ialien to abate the nuisance.
A big wire trap was bated with toasted
cheeie nnd ct ier dainties s > toothsome to
the average rodent. Bui it was no use, be
cause Roxy insisted on feeding them the
sue uie .t sweet potato, anji tue trap re
mained ur,tenanted. TheiVf >re, the big
fellow’s s.eet potato supply was withheld
one day, and a liberal supply placed In the
trap. That nigut Roxy’S screams were
heard in the rem >test e ds o( the gardens,
and the trap became so full of rats that the
do >r refused to drop shut.
Every time ono of the doomed rats ap
proached tne tempting tray Roxy shook the
bars if the cage ad shriek and with fury.
He did everythi gin the worl<!t he could to
warn his little friends, bat tljey all took
the fatal step. The trap was kept there for
several days, and uo v Roxy i* alone in his
miseiy. Superintendent Brown bas give i
an order for a ru .ber rat to be e-mstru: ted,
and if this and jbs not take the place of the
lost pets Roxy will be given a rldee where lie
will be cl ne to a cage of m mkeys, and it is
thought their autics will be sufficient to
keep his mind off Lis receat h ist
Dated lurtles
From the Popular Science Monthly.
There is a well-grounded popular belief
that our tortoise live< to a vast age, and
numerous c ises of turtles bearingd&tee over
a oentur old have been ci ed. JThere was,
until ISB6, in the neighbor hood of the
writer’s home in New Jersey, ad'old tortoise
which had been marked by Mr. Cyrus Du
rand, ihe inventor of the gypruetric lathe.
It bore the ciea. ly
cut with a graver on its uryh * ojheil. As the
t rtoise had bee i < bserved fr irfyear to year
since the lime of its marking Dy the mo,t
trustworthy there amba no doubt
that the date was gp uice. This t<n tol.e
bas not been seen since IBSflt, so it has
probably died. Anoti.er, wnich has been
observed for the post itioeifyears, was
marked with the insdifotkwfMU 8., 1849.”
As toe letters and datqs; wepe so much w rn
ns to be but faintly deScorhiWe, they were
douotlens reliable. This dH I animal was
found for the last time, dead'ffe the Summer
of ISSO. Another, beaHi.g'tSe 7 date JB6L is
still alive. Assuming -tokf'the tortoises
were full grown, or Bb nnjH years cli,
when marked, we are jaffi Tn sating the
period of their lives as £rpm,oO to 70 years.
No doubt s >me individuals may reach a

varying from forty to df#r years -before

i'/ An Fxponoive Cow.
From the Chicago Ifztf
At the fat-stock show neveral world's fair
ooaumssloneis ware discussing the high
price* commanded by first-class stock now
adays. Several instances were cited in
which a single animal bad brought a snm
which a few years ago would bare been
pronounced fabulously large. ‘ I recall o.ie
instance,” remarked oue of the gent einen,
“in which an ordinary milch cow, without
any pedigree whatever, brougut a price
which compares very favorably with the
caes we have mentioned.
“Years ago Gea. Rissell A. Alger of
Detroit, lately the commander-in-chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic, was a
yonng-ter without a cent, and with but one
suit of clothes. He wanted to at'end scho 1
and went to a physician who lived in the
village to ask for a cl ace to work for his
board. Tbe doctor did not need the services
of a boy, but be was so much impressed
with y ung Alger's earnestness that he took
him into nis family c rcie and sent bim
through school. Alger did no work except
to take care of tbe doctor’s horse and oue
cow.
“But time has wrought great changes.
Alger i# now a millionaire, while bis bene
factor is an old ma i In straitened financial
eii cumsta ces. Oue by one his children
have died, until he and hi* old wife have
been left alone. All offers of assistance by
Gen. Alger have I een refused, for the old
man Is as proud as Lucifer himself. In con-
Hq 'enoe Alger has been forced to bestow
bis charities in manv little round about
ways, so that thsir source could not be
guessed. Recently he visited bis old friend,
determined to com net his acceptance of
more substantial aid than be had been re
ceiving.
“ ’Why, Alger, you do I’t owe me anv
thing,’ tbe old men says, "and I wou’t
accept anything. ’’
" ‘But 1 owe my education to you.’
“ ’Bosh! You owe that to yourself.’
“ ‘But I caused you trouble and expense,
for wh ch I w a it to repay you.’
“ ‘The trouble needn’t trouble you, and
there wasn’t much expense to speak of. In
fact, tbe only expense that y u earned me,
so far as I can recollect, Is the loss of a cow.
Do you know, Alger, when you came to
live with ms I hid the best cow in tnese
parts, and t at your awkwardness com
pletely spoiled her? Well.it did. With!
three weeks you b and made her so skittish
that no one o. ud go near her, and I had to
sell her for beef.’
“ ‘Well, then, I owe you for that cow,
don’t 11 And I’m going to pay you for her
and will add a little interest for tbe use of
the money for about forty ye irs.’
“After a long e urse of argument the eld
gen lernan finally consented, very reluct
antly, to accept pay for his now. And ihe
price paid for thst ordinary grade cow is
sufficient to support her former owner in
fair circumstances during the remainder of
his lifetime. She was an expensive cow.”
CHIMNEYS.
The man that sella you
lamp-chimneys may, or may
not, know the difference —
some are made of brittle
glass, and some are made of
tough glass. The tough
ones cost the maker two or
three times as much as the
brittle ones. That accounts
for the breaking of chim
neys.
The making of tough
glass chimneys is almost
confined to one firm, Mac
beth & Cos., Pittsburgh.
“Pearl-top” is the trade
mark.
