JOHN BOHNS' OPTIMISM.
John Bunns, tint famous English
labor leader ant I mranlbcr of parliament,
who is now on a visit to this country,
said Hie other day to an American au

(DINED ON ttlOItESFLESH.
The Animal Was Old But the Guests
Enjoyed lit.
One hundred .pndmlrtenit men of New
ark sat down to a dJunetr last evening
which mis different from any other
ever served in the dty. To outward
(appearances ib was like others of a so
cial nature, but every guest who sat
alt the long tahOes knew ho *wus par-
toklng of horseflesh.
Dr. Richard Hopkins was the host.
When a horse slaughtering establish
ment was started in Harrison, N. J.,
several months ago (there was a great
agitation over ifhe alleged fact that the
meiut 'was being disposed of in this
city and Nehv York Instead oif in Eu
rope, us the proprietors of the Slaugh
ter house ulleged. This led (to the
breaking up of the business, for the
'board of health caught the firm in on
Infringement of ibhe law. It had fats
•buildings too dot** to a highway.
There wus tv discussion 1 between the
citizens ns to (the good and bad quali
fies of horse fletfb, and utmost every
one took slues. Dr. Hopkflns wHs one
of those who asserted that horse
meat wus ns good If not barter than
•Chicago dressed beef. The dinner was
the ouiioome of the agitation.
The horse was an old one. He was,
to foot, n veteran ,as he had seen
twenty*six ye.irs of serried For four
years he had been the property of
George W. Marshull of New'ark. Mr.
Marshall was at the dinner, but re
fused to partttUco of tho meat.
ONXjY ONE REFUSED.
He eald flt’ wias not than he had nay
repugnance to the flesh, but because
he felt as though he would be editing
an old friend. He was the only man
who dM n.*t c-.U the meat. All seemed
ito relish the dinner very much.
The old horse was served up In all
mannore of -ways. There were home
steaks and horse chops, horse pot
roasts nnVJ baked horse, hor»t rib
poust nnd horse hash, horse liver end
horse soup. There were other things,
l»ut no ot)i«*r in-Ml was in the menu.
The garnl^hlngs were of ithe best nnd
•most palUmilit, and there was lio lack
of that fmiportant part, the liquids,
with which to wash the dinner down.
lMvis luvp.uvd the dinner. Pro-
ftMbonhilj) he pronounced it the finest
dinner, to the eye, at any rate, he had
ever set before a party of Ulners. The
prpanaltlons 'begin five days ngo.
The hor^e -ads led from the iluble,
w-here he hod been putting on a* few
extra, layers of fat, and was slaugh
tered in the most approved way. The
ccmiss when dceased wus hung in an
Ice box and tr«vted fci every manner
the same as beef.
When Dr. Hopkins sent out his invi
tations ho wondered if he would have
to 3IZ down alone to enjoy the horse;
and vowed If such was the oaso he
would eat the whole dinner and drink
three thlnqu which had boon provided
for drinking. It was mUde a rule that
no one who failed to partlike of fihe
horse would enjoy the rest of the good
things.

It is oonafderOd unlucky for «fhe hap

Much has been written about* the

A curious custom fan oMon times wns

As on emblam of good luck, shoos are
invariably thrown uifter the bride on
leaving for the honeymoon. This te
accounted for <n Itnvo ^oys. Some aay
that the shoe (n olden tfamra being ec-
oouxftted ns n sign of authority, this is
the symbol off the transfer off parental

In G^me of the old parts of England,

“WAITING.”
O, ship that never heaves in sight.
But laggard plays;
Oh, for one glimpse of your sails whits
In these dark days!
Torouid lift my soul from the “Despond”
In which it lies, •
po see the beauteous land beyond
The sunset skies,
Whence banished is all care.
O, weary, tired hearts that grope
Through starless night,
Vain-seeklng for some ray of hope
Your path to light,
Hold fast; The star of faith will shine
When clouds go by—
Your ships come bounding o’er the brine
With full supply
Of treasure rich and rare.

THE TRUE POLICY OF THE SOUTH.
The best policy for the Southerners
who are suffering from 6-cent cotton, ia
to build large cities, establish and ex
tend the manufacturing industries, strive
for the enlargement of their commerce
and trade, make and us ethe most Im
proved machinery, develop their mineral
resources qnd diversify the crops. There
Is no probability that cotton will ever riso
to Its old price, and there Is no more than
a probability that it -will fall below 5
cents a pound. The South Is full of
men of enterprise who are less enterpris
ing than they might be.—New -York Sun.
