C. There are fourteen acres in the southwestern portion of this estuto tho young millionaire doeB not and cannot own, though he has made effort aftor effort to do so. The fourteen acres belong to a negro man named Collins, who, wlion Mr. Vanderbilt bought the large tract, asked him $600 more for this small tract than he was willing to give. A few wooks later Mr. Vanderbilt went to Collins and agreed to his terms, but Collins now added a couple of thousand to the first prloe, and as often as Mr. Vanderbilt got in the notion to pay Collins his price Col lins went up a safe distance, and has just announced that he will not sell the land at any prloe so long as he can have Mr. Vanderbilt for his neighbor. He tellB Mr. Vanderbilt that the value of a good neighbor in this world cannot be estimated by all the money of the Vanderbilt family. —New York Press. . Gattlaff AulnUti I»**f Into German;. John Gedda* of Sidney, N. S.W., if has been visiting Berlin, at the ex pense of the government of the col ony, trying to introduce frozen beet and mutton from Australia. One of his objects was to induce the com missariat department of the German army to order supplies for provision ,ing the army. The French authori al' ties have already given orders with the viow of trying the feasibility of the plan upon a considerable scale. The importation of frozen moat from Australia for the army would, it is argued, groatly relievo German tax ,1 payers. It is claimed that if Paris and Metz had boon provided with re frigerators in 1870-71 tho latter town could have held out for at least a year and tho former for no less than five years.

An old man with long white hair and beard and an anxious look was seen by a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter poring ovor a directory. When lie warf asked what ho was hunting for ho mid: “I’m trying to find the only man who 1 can count on as a friend. He was living Loro forty years ago, but Ills name is not in the directory now. ’’ As he was talking a lady approached to ask a question. Tho old man stopped suddenly and with a “beg your pardon” doffed his hut and stood aside at a rospectful distuneo in a Chesterfield manner. Continuing, after the lady had loft, ho said: “You are correct in thinking that 1 have seen bettor days. My namo is Carl Maier, and I was one of the revolu tionists in Germany in 1849, being secretary of tho Domooratio party and civil commissary at Buohon in the grand duchy of Baden. I am an cxamplo of a shattered ambition, it being my one aim in life to do some thing for tho good of the public. After the failure of our cause I was forced to flee to America, and went to tho houso of Frederic Heckor, chief of tho German revolution, who had aUo come to America and located in Illinois. Here I resumed my old calling as a professor and.taught his children. When I look back upon my seventy years of life I can say that the only friend I have in the world is myself.” Did you ever see a person begin writing a letter at the last period and then write baokwards and finish up at the beginning? That’s what Carl Maier can do without tho least exertion. It seems just as easy for him to romember the words and let ters of n sentence in reversed order us it is for the ordinary person to re member them in their regular order. It is an oasy matter for him to think backward, and, what is more aston ishing, he writes upside down. The lettors are all Inverted aa he looks at them when writing. And, again, performing this feat, whioh one thinks would require all the power and attention of his brain, he is not disturbed by carrying on a conversa tion with you, no matter how foreign the subject may be. Maier’u per formance would almost make one believe the theory promulgated by a scientist that wc have “double-bar reled brains.” If you repeat a sen tence to Maier, no matter how long it may he, aftmr heaving it once he will ctiranenoe and write the sentence verbatim, starting at the last letter of the last word and finishing it through the first letter of the first word. it seems to be natural to him U Invert his mind in his work, for h« never falters or stops to think, but writes as rapidly as a person writing in an ordinary way. “I acquired this in a peculiar manner," said Maier. “While I was clerk in a grocery store in Saxony I was an ambitious sort of a boy and always wanted to do everything differently from every person else. When the customers came to me for their bill I would place the bill head in an inverted position in front of me and make the bill out backward, as I have written for you. \“1 came very nearly being prose* outed for practicing witchcraft. Many people assigned this power to the witches. Then the Spiritualists came to me and told me I was con trolled by a wonderful mind. Although I couldn’t explain it by any other theory than that it wan a concentration of my mind, I at last persuaded them that there was nothing supernatural in it I am not able to perform the feats I used to whon I was younger. I am get ting old and my memory is not ar it used to be. My eyesight is pretty near gone. I can’t see very much. In looking at you I see that it is a form and know that you are a human being, because you speak to me, but I could not see my writing if I did not use a blue pencil. It seems to be the only color I can see. True to the Letter. fits Officer—You say you are used to taking meters. But we want a man who oan do the work expedi tiously. Applicant—Oh, I understand that I just take‘the meter for a few quar ters, and after that I strike an av erage without taking the trouble to consult the meter. Gas Officer—That's all right as far as it goes, but it doesn’t go far enough. Instead of striking an av erage, we find it more business-like to strike the consumer for all he will stand. He’d Boob Backed. Horseman—That is a remarkably fine animal you are driving, madame. Lady—Oh, I wouldn’t part with this horse for the world.

Of the superstition ot sailors, fish erfoik and others we have all heard, but that such a distinguishing char acteristic should have attached itself to railway men does not appear to be generally known. It savors some what of the anomalous that such a pre-eminently practical class of men should be the victims of credulity re garding the supo'antural; such, how j ever is the case. I. recently had occasion to inter view aprominen'. railway official, and in the course cf the conversation that onsuod that gontleman incident ally alluded to two collisions which had lately occurred in the neighbor hood, following up his remarks with the announcement that the local men would be in a stato of subdued ex cltomont and “flurry” till a third mishap took place. Such is the suporstition of the railway man. Upon expressing considerable aston ishment 1 was assured that this kind of thing was notorious among rail road men in general, and in this par ticular instance it was known that tho circumstances of the two pre vious accidents were the chief topics among the workingmen in all depart ments, who were also counting on the possioilitles of a third disaster. Curiously enough, a touch of realism was lent to the information just imparted by the explanation that the second of the two collisions referred to was due to the driver of one of the engines, a reliable servant, noted for his alertness and precision, with an honorable record of somo forty years’ service, who being, it was believed, so disturbed over the “omens" of the first occurrence and so engrossed with what he felt would be two other catastrophes, that he committed the slight error of judg ment which caused his locomotive to crash into another coming in an op posite direction. The statement is given as the conviction of one who has spent upward of a quarter of a century among railway men of all classes, and who bus known the driver alluded to for a long period of years. So came about a Becond collision. Surely supersti tion could go no further than this. But here is a tragic sequel—a se quel which, unfortunately, will in all probability do much to strengthen the reprehensible beliefs of these men. Two days after the interview above mentioned, within fifteen min utes’ drive from the scene of the second collision, an express mail fulled to take the points, a portion of the train with the tender of the engine was violently thrown across the rails and one poor stoker killed. This is what the railway men will term the “third mishap.” “There’s the third,” they say; and now per haps they will breathe freely for a season.

Judge Goggtn sent for the Jury, and asked if it was true that the members were playing cards instead of endeavoring to arrive at a verdict. Upon being in formed by a Juror that it was so, he gave vent to his anger with the above threat. He ordered the men to go back and attend to their duties as Jurors, and cease their "high five” deliberations’ The twelve left the court room in a de jected way, with instructions to seal their verdict.

The trunk suffices to put the food Just where it ought to be, and the tongue simply keeps it moving from side to side over the grinders. -When a peanut gets stuek on the elephant’! tongue he raises it in the middle, like a moving caterpillar, and the ehell cracks against the roof of the mouth, to then disappear down a capacious throat,' FOURTi OF jm HeJu-cd ,lt,s nelwee“ Ml StaU^J ♦♦♦♦mm APPLY TO ANY Largest Circulation in ] It isn’t much wonder th Journal now has the largesi a in Nebraska.
