CrpiD and rsYCHE.???On the elaborately
f arvetl oaken mantelpiece of one of tho moat
mlotial mansions on Fifth avenue, near Fifty-
first street, stands, cut in translucent Parian,
clear as a cameo, a diminutive representation
0 f fjje old myth of Cupjgl and Psyche. Under
neath, along the face of tho pedestal of the
group, is graven a name, but so scrawlingly
that one can scarcely make out whether it is
Taufe, Toufe or Tofe. It certainly begins with
itul T and ends with an accented e, and
not nn American name, whatever else it
may
be.
There i3 a romance connected with that
gr< up,??? said the owner to a Mercury reporter
the other evening, as ho lighted his cigar o;,d
gitth d himself for a comfortable imoljj, after
otsing the box to his guest, ???;\nd the ro
mance concerns one ot the r.iOst famous fami-
li*s in the United Sta.te-3???thatof the Sumners,
of Boston, whoso old Alston place
mnnsion, grand, gloomy one peculiar,
r.8 60me orator l.ad said of
Napoleon, is scarcely less a landmark than
Punker Hill monument or the common. She
almost the smallest woman I ever saw; so
t-nial! as to seem uncanny, odd ami fairy like,
eye had been mutilated by a brutal
husband, who also gave her once protty, saucy
trousse mat* a permanent twist to the
h It, and made himself the terror of her life
in every conceivable way, while she lived
*.ith him, which was almost three years. The
???.torv has never been told in nrint, though its
Mails and the narrative of the heroine???s mad
seuppde from Paris years ago arc familiar
netigh in private circles. Being by birth a
Bostonian, I remember Ivaty Sumner. II??r
4her wns a strange, dark, saturnine old
lady, with a gypsy face tyul figure???bill, gray,
gaunt and mysterious of aspect. The father
of Charles Sumner was Kalv's uncle, and she
cousin to tho great statesman. Kuty
b willful ns she wns diminutive, and
when she fell desperately in lovo with M.
Henri Taufe, who had come over to America
a holiday jaunt and was a lion in the Bos
ton circles, marry him sho would and did,
though her lather grumbled savagely and her
mother uttered predictions of sorrow. It was
ns long ago ns 1852 that little Katy Sumner
married her dashing artist admirer, and tho
nlliiir was celebrated with great eclat, notwith
standing tho suppressed objections of tho
family. M. Taufo hod made a great iinpros-
???n byhis wit, culture, elegant manners and
undoubted brilliancy as an artist, and many ??
Poston belle there wns who would have de
lighted to take the little bride???s place, there
was something so dtviue and distinguish ng
rtb. u} tho man???so unlike our blunder iug
imericans. The pair sailed for Europe s ??on
Iter their marriage, and that was the lait
Bestow society heard of Katie Sumner, except
vague whispers that things were not going
11, for the ne xt three years, when sho re
turned home quietly, with one of her maguili-
i id dnrk eyes destroyed and a nose porma-
ently disfigured. ???The Cupid and Psyche
ou have just been admiring was the very first
oik she did nftcr*hor return; for, strange and
oful as her domestic life had been, she had
developed into u sculptor of extraordinary
riginaiity and felicity of execution.
Taufo was a Grange man???. His jealousy of
his wife was unreasoning and almost insane.
He lied a large willow banket with a cover lit-
w ith a lock, sueii ns is used abroad for tho
borage of soiled clothing. When hi* feliow-
irtibta culltd on him at his apartments homed
o order his wife into tho basket and lock her
n, ??nd there she had to stay sometimes for
k urs, while ho mndo excuses for her absmeo,
\omk*red why sho stayed so long, and put
limsclf to great apparent worry on her ac-
ount. Tho basket, would have been rather
mall for a person of ordinary proportion*/
ui, being scarcely larger than a baby, Katy
t,t on very well in her crumped quarter*.
Muster of a magnificent income from hi* pro
fusion, nt times Katy was left for days with
al menus of subsistence, in splendid roams,
t course, but absolutely starving. Ono day
le would bring her home a splendid present
if jewelry; the next he would demand it on
Kdiic pie text or other, and tho next, she saw
f jt would be nit .a decorative trdlo in the
(-iirure of some momentary goddess of his???
the thing of mi hour???s caprice. To-day, with
| enitentiul tears, ho begged Kuty???s pardon,
and provided her witii it retinue of servants
and every luxury that money could commuud;
tomorrow he dismissed them nil, rocoinmciul-
td hiB wife to learn to wait upon fyersolf anil
him, and insisted upon her doing her own
uork.
A*: tho month* went by caprice passed into
neglect, abuse, violent outbursts of temper. In
one of these tits it wns Raid ho thrust his
thumb Into Kotv???s cyo and extinguished tho
sight of ono of those brilliant orbs forever,
lie hud a vicious inclination to umtilato anti
injure rather than strike; and when ho delib
erately twisted her nose without any previous
dispute, the little woman began to think that
she had married a nmniuc, particularly a* ho
h: il provided himself with a knife for tlio very
purpose, he declared, of dissecting her. She
Lad made progress in art, won reputation and
amassed home money with tho intention of
using it, if nccesHury ns a last resort, to nay
her pawnee to America. Ono morning when
flic awoke her money had disappeared. Sho
' nileus and totally in his power,
solemn oath to dissect her bc-
! fare they were twenty-four hours older. That
I veiy afternoon the captain of a steamer jut
??? about to sail for New York was accosted by a
; dclicato little fellow in a blouse, who begged
???' to Le taken as cabin boy, anything to get to
America. The captain glaueed ot the little
fellow???s hands ana shook his head kindly but
decidedly. The little fellow, one of whoso eyes,
, bj the way, hod been injured, turned away
i robbing. livery body was busy. Suddenly
* "ith one spring the little fellow was over tho
railing and into the sen. A great outcry was
raised, prompt measures for rescue were taken,
and erts the waters bad swallowed up the tiny
figure it was seized and brought on board. Of
: coimc the would-be cubin boy fainted; an
eclaireifscment followed, and, sobbing and
j blushing, poor Katy told her story to a New
York lady, who was passenger and knew the
8i.im.era Eocialiy. Moved by the pathetic
bistory the lady engaged her ns companion
ar.d maid during the voyage, promised to knap
and did keep her secret,??? and finally restored
her to her family. Taufo wrote her father a
letter, rftolaring that his poor wife was mod,
snd lamenting her groundless fear of hirn.
But nothing could persuade her to return. A
baby girl, born soon alter return, compensated
her for her suffering* with her strange hits- ,

wilt???s forgiveness.??????New York Mercury.
???STMura* Hole.?????????A venerable looking old
tenlJtman, with fast whitening full beard,
thick gray hair, eyes sbi-.uded by spectacles,
and the respectable dress of a well-to-do
faimer, lectured at Licderkran* hall last
???' cuing. The old gentleman was the expo-
i ent oil the most visionary of theories in re
gard to the arctic region*. He was Mr.
Americas Bynames,'ton of John Cleve Sym-
n.tf, v ho, in Is 4 published a liitleb x>k f ro-
??* ulpa ?? g a the.* y. The multitude know it
'????? ly in connection with ???Svmtnea??? Hole / the
gr. tcsatieness ??.f that idea fattening it hrmly
??? 1 cii the popuUr mind.
Twenty-three people, including three re-_
p rttrp, wire present to hear the lecture. Mr.*
cymmes had announced that it was to be
u r n the Greely explorations as betring out
Li* lather's theory. He wa* evidently disap-
I footed at ??he enroll hcm of the audience, and
several times feelingly referred to the fact that
he was unable tn make the world acquainted
* it h hi* peculiar views. He spoke os fol
low* ;
???X come' before jcu In obedience t?? my
father** dying request tba. * wou.u *e p w
eye on Arctic explorations and sec how they
Mould bear cut lm theory. I have done so.
I have watched the explorations of Lieutenant
Greejy, and they certainly bear out what the
t'orld of scientists has long called a visionary
idea. They fought that theory, aSJ exempli
fied in this little book. It woe published by
my father in 1824, and was then gladly sold at
cl a volume. Now it can bo got no where for
Jess than ??12, it, indeed, a copy" is auywhero
lor sole. I know of but one man in this citv
with one, and he would not take$50 for it. ???
??? V , ordil /& to m X father's theory, tho earth
ib holler/, globular and open at tho poles. Tho
shell of the earth is about 1,000 miles thick,
d the distance from vergo to verge of tho
*ht 11 at the opening is about 1,500 miles. The
edge ot the. verge is nt about 70?? north Jatt-
tude, and it is the coldest place on earth.
>V hen you advance over that you can aoo very
clearly, and the temperature becomes much
wanner. At about 80?? north latitude is tho
tine magnetic pole, and >r'.:cn you get at 82??
the i.ole is behind yovr. You are then going
south, and will ju-o large Hocks of wild -birds
and great numbers of wild animals. Tliii is
very dif???orent from tho Newtonian theory
places the magnetic pole at 90?? north
latitude, which is now supposed to be sur
rounded with eternal ice and is the coldest
spot cn the globe.
???Now for the proofs. Greely in his explora
tions found the weather to bo growing warmer
ak lie went further north. People will believe
Greelv, but not Nordenskjold, Tuttle, Sarben
and Wiggins. They went very far north,
and found a land on which^grew big trees
where there wns warm water and large rivers,
Noidenskjold thought it wns Siberia. Wiggins
found the same country inhabited by astri
people. IIow could ho have found tlmso peo
ple if he had not been going south and if it
had not been in tho hollow of tho earth.
Where could they have coino out if they had
continued to go if not at tho south pole? "
lain Wiggins, Tuttle and Barben ail saw I
people, and they asked them how.they came
there. It was a wonderful country, with mul
titudes of game, elephants, mastodons, gold
mines, men seven and eight feet high and
women nearly as large. They asked him how
he came there and were very friendly.
'???Greely made several excursions. Tho
further north ho went the milder became tho
climate, and once he saw a valley sixty miles
wide and full of game. Don???t that compare
with By minus??? theory The next trip ho look
lio found the further ho went tho milder be
came the weather. Ho walded brooks and
swam rivers. How docs that compare with
Newton, who says this is a place of great cold?
And yet the people won???t believe iu Symmet.
They won???t come and let me convince them. I
stand solitary and alone, the only believer.
???Newton enys tho pole is surrounded by tho
ice; Bymnies by ou open sea. Explorers didn???t
know what to Jo when they found tho mag
netic pole. On Captain I???urry???s third voyage
he took reindeer, and thought to gain tho
noth pole over the ico or perish, lie found
the weather growing warmer, tho ice thinner
and streams of water abundant. At 84?? ho
found the water Mowing with a stiff current.
IIow could that be if it didn???t go in at ono polo
and out at the other? Look at tho fish always
going south mid never returning. At 82?? 40
minutes, Captain Parry couldn???t find a cake
of ice strong enough to boor him up, and tho
cun was so hot it melted the pitch iujhls boats.
When he got past 80?? the compass flickered
and pointed behind him. He wus pinning the
magnetic pole. And so it was with Captain
Boss, Dr. Kune, Captain Hull and others,
found un open sen.
???Captain Synfmes, then a resilient of New
port, petitioned congress to send him out on at
expedition, but was ignored. Hud ho g me iu
would have found tho open sea uud that coun
try where Greely says ho sjicnt two such
pleasant years, lie said it was tho Parudise
of tho north. Contain 8vmines said that tho
magnetic pole was at 80??, and beyond that at
83?? tho land wnich hoc ailed Symmossania.???
Tho lecture went on t> describe what a pleas
ant land this Byniiucaaonia must bo with ele
phants, mastodons and eight feet men and
"???( men. He asked the boys if they would like
to tnko double-barreled guns and dogs and
bag a few elephants and mastodons in ono
afternoon. That is tho greatest place for gamo
iu tho world, and it must ho the most healthy
place. Ho was of tho opinion that it was from
hero the Chinese got their ivory and other
menus for her supporting her 400,090,000 of
population.
???What am I to do???? Mr. Syrnmosconclude l.
???IIow um I to let the world know what my
father believed? I have asked the pooplo to
come to hear me, but they will not. I am n ??fc
to blntnc for holdiug up this old Kentucky
philosopher, ami 1 will detail that I can,
though his theory beggared him, and hi* fam
ily and myself. I believe in It, and it will
yet he proved true. Next spring Greely will
go hock, and either by him or some one else
Bynum rzonin will bo discovered.???Louisville

Gaum.kr???s Luck.???A friend of min* ones
landed himself, as bo would have said, in
comparative affluence by noticing that Signor
Tainbcrlik had n diabolical doveiuo at Spa.
It woa a wet morning, as mornings are soino-
t : mcs wet at Spa. The mists went up and the
min carne down. There was nothing to do
but go into tho rooms and see Meyerbocr play
???pretty badly???at chess. At this pleasure
palled upon my friend, ho went into tho other
room ami saw Tamberllk sitting down to play.
The Dritou had the lucky inspiration to play
In tele du ponte, but a l r envers. TauaWlik,
who was at that time nt the height of his rep
utation, had a dreadful day of it, and nay
friend won pocketful* of lonis and notes of
Banquc de France. His method was simple.
He waited till Tainbcrlik staked, and invaria
bly MtaketLcoutrarlwhe. This system appears
to have the extraordinary merit or not in
volving any mental strain. No calculation is
required. The other man does all that. La
tele du ponto was even then not new. Bal
zac introduces it in his ???I???eau do Chagrin.???
When the young man about to commit suicido
throws his last louis on the gaming table, the
great gambler who is looking on stakes an
eooi mous mass k of gold and notes on the oppo
site side, feeling sure, as Balzac puts it, that
???la chance aurait raison de ce pauvro diable.???
This certainly would not apply to Signor Tam-
bcrlik, who wns making a large Income nt the
punter. But os I have previously observod,
all systems win nt certain times, and I may
add that there is no end to the superstition* of
gamblers. A very heavy player, who was
with me at the wedding of the late Duke of
Albany, declared that ???no good would come
of it??? becatiae the bride or bridesmaid???s cos
tume wns looped up with violets. ???Ugh!??? he
shuddered, ???violets are tho flower* of diatb,
used to decorate a corpse, not to adorn a
bride.??? A charming young lady told me ouly
the other day that she loved opals, but felt
sure that all her ^misfortunes, not many, were
due to the malevolent influence of that atone.
So it is not only gamblers who are supersti
tious, hut few carry superstition to such pre
posterous lengths. The man who backs twen
ty-five at roulette because it is hi* twenty-
fifth birthday, the other who always brings
an umbrella Chat he may leave it at tho door
and thua get a number; he who counts tho
steps up to his bedroom, and that other one
who counts the choux on hi* wall-paper, are
all equally maniacal, and all win at time*.
Whether one is paying a person a commission
of 1 per cent, to bet on an even chance, or is
trying to pick out numbers nt roulette the
madness is perhaps in the same degree.???Fort
nightly Review.
Wht IU Was Esccskd.???It very often hsp-
i-eii* that on ocra??ion?? where solemnity
generally prevail, that .omething comic or
fnitirrotu break* the monotony ami ex-itos the
risiblcs. An accident of this km l Igppened
to-rlav at the cirenil court during the iri.'ol
one o???f the Farmer boy?, who i?? charge.1 wi h
the killing of Counwy. A gentleman of Mar-
.hall county wa. .uprenaed in tin. ease at tne
1 nt t- rm of the court, and not making an ap
pearance an attachment was Urne-l for him.
To-dsv he asked permission of the court
for an'ezeute for his non.appearanee at tho
laattrrm of the court, which permmion wa.
era rited. lie Haled that he waa ???down town
with one of the altorneya for proaecntion, and
that th.y took a drink together. After .while
they got dry and took another drink, and aoia
becoming thiraty they took the thirl drink,
and then they took several drinks. Neither ot
them had made any calculation as to how the
time was flying nor fho quantity of lemonade
they were absorbing, until he and the attorney
fell by the wayside. Believing in tho prin
ciple of ???standing up to one another??? ho
thought it his duty to stay with tho attorney
and take cortf of him, anJ that wa* the reason
he was not present to answer Co his name.
Tho story was related iu such a dry, (juaiut
manner thne tht entire court broke out into a
loud ???guffaw??? and the ???delinquent??? was ex
cused.???Fadueoh News.
Be vino a Supreme Court Cheat.???District
Attorney Corkhil! tells a correspondent of tho
Boston Traveller this story about Mr. Starr,
once the best known lawyer in Iowa: He was,
unfortunately, too fond o???f liquor, and some
times appeared in court tfhdor its influence.
Such was the case at Des Moines, boforo the
lull bench of the supremo court, in an im
portant trial. Arising slowly and with some
difficulty, Starr said:' ???May it please tho
ctuit, I hove been engaged as counsel for tho
pinintifl'in this suit, but I wish to say that my
sympathies are all on the other side. Iu order
to simplify matters I will give you $5 if you
will d'-i-hje the case against me. When the
chief justice had recovered from his surpriso
he said with some asperity: ???Mr. Starr, you
have insulted tho dignity and virturo of this
court. We can not permit even so distin
guished a lawyer as youraelf to commit so out
rageous on act of impropriety without rebuko,
and I give you notice now that I shall fine you
fi r contempt.??? Staggering to his feet, Starr
replied witn much gravity: ???Your honor is
laboring under a slight misapprehension,
which 1 trust I shall be able to remove. I
didn???t menu to oiler you $5???I intended to say
$5 n piece.??? The court and spectators were
convulsed with laughter and Starr was at
once iiBsitited to his home. Thero is nothing
on record to show that tho sentence was ever
enforced.
Interesting Statistics.
The following interesting facts are taken
from advance snccts of Poor???s Railroad Man
ual for 1884:
?????There wero in the United States at the
close of the fiscal year 1883, 129,552 miles of
railroad, the aggregate share capital of which
equaled $3,708,000,683; funded debt, $3,455,-
010,383; floating debt, $332,370,345; total, $7,-
495,471,311. There wero constructed and
opened during the fiscal year, 0,091 miles of
new line at a cost represented
by stock ami debt, ot $178,721,202.
???The gross earnings of nil tho railroads for
1883 were $823,772,924, against $770,209,399 for
1882; their current expenditures wcro$525,-
400,359; net earnings from operations, $298,-
3(!fi,5C5; enriiingB from other sources, $71,432,-
104 ; making a total of net earnings of $309,-
798,729, out of which wero paid, interest, $173,-
139,004; dividends, $102,050,548.
???There were transported upon tho railroads
of the United States tho past year 400,453,439
tens of freight, tho voluo or which, at only
$25 to the ton, would have exceeded $10,000,-
000,000. The total lengths of nil tho .tracks
wns 149,183 miles, of which 78,491 miles were
laid with steel roils. Tho number of locomo
tives engines employed was 22,82*1; of freight
cars, 748,001 j ot passenger cars, 17,899; of
baggage, moil and express cars, 5,948.
???It is safe to assume that tho new mileago
constructed in tho past three years cost about
$30,000 to the mile, uud that wlnm our pooplo
build, say 10,000 ???miles of line in -trno year,
they expend upon them $300,000,000. In ad
dition, a very largo amount of fresh capital
is expended on old linos, so that wo have for
meny years pout been expending con
siderably over $1,000,000 for every
working day in tho year. Should a large por
tion of the const of new lines ho lost, the cam-
t y is undoubtedly tho richer, by a correspond
ing amount, from the incidental advantages
they confer???tho opening of vast tracts for set
tlement nml in bringing within tho reach of
market products which before had no commer
cial value.
???If it bo assumed that tho cost iu money of
nil tl.o roads iu operation in tho United States
in 1883 did not exceed, ns it certainly did not,
the cipr.unt of their funded and floating d jbts,
$3,787,410,728, the actual investment wa* a
most profitable one. The not earning* for the
year were $330,011,884, a sum equaling ah rut
9 per cent on their cost. II tho fictitious capi
tal could be eliminated from their accounts,
their fcucce*s???s ns investments would have u >
prrallcl. If to net income bo added the
advantages that flow from thorn tho
mult would be a matter of
esp?? cinl wonder. Our railroads the past year
transported over 400,009,009 tons of freight.
At $25 re* ten tho value of this freight w ulJ
equal $10,000,000,000. It is enough to say that,
compared with tho wealth of tho country
thirty years ago, they have created oa-this
continent a new notion. V/hilo penetrating
every portion of tho continent, at least whoro-
ever cur people go, they for tho first time
crude the condition* of u firm and compact
nationality.???
