PRINCES AS PIVOTERS.
The Prince of Wales and tho Crown
Prlnco of Austria Dance.
At tho Austro-IIuiigaiiun I mil, nnya tho
London correspondent of the New York
tiun, I Haw the Trince of Wale.8 gayly
dancing, unci paid strict attention to him,
tliinkii)'' that Americans, who only hear
of the prince an laying corner btonefl,
might like to know how lie acted when
uinus'ing himself. IJcforc the prince nr-
rived. the tdiinintr floor was covered und
dancing was vigorous. It was jerky,
however, for there were numerous false
alarms of tho wince'B arrival, and for
each alarm the musicians dropped what
ever tunc they hail in hand, waltz or pol
ka, and left the dancers ntanding while
thev wtruck up "(Jod IJlcbs the Prince of
ml
Wales." When the prince did come, ac
companied Iy the Crown Prince of Aus
tria, I think he disappointed the majority
of those, among whom were many Amer
icans, who saw him for the first time. A
passage was formed through tho crowd,
and the princes seemed quite contented
with the role of curiosities in which they
found themselves.
Tim Princo of Austria wore a gay and
tight-fitting suit of red Hussar regim
tals, with n white cape hanging from his
shoulders. His itir was a jaunty and inil
iturv one. like that of his father, and he
j ,
was much more up to the mark as a regu
lation prince than his Hayal Highness of
Wales. The latter was dressed in black,
with tight breeches of silk. Ilia face was
rather fhMy. His eyes were not very
handsome, having the appearance of be
ing swollen underneath; but he was evi
dently good-natured, tremendously popu
lar, and as an American friend admiring
ly remarked, most thoroughly at home.if
ever any man in the wide world was at
home. Without any loss of time he led
out by the hand Countess Parolyi, the
beautiful young wife of tho Austrian em
bassador, and the royal quadrille was
formed. From the moment it started all
the surroundings returned me forcibly of
a ball at the grand opera house, Paris,
where two celebrated French dancing
women had threatened the ceiling with
their toes, to the great delight of all pre
sent. The English crowd pressed and squeez
ed to get a look at the legs of his Royal
Highness, and they followed the music
just as the opera crowd had struggled
for a look at the Hying limbs of La Ooulno
or her nimble sister; but of course the
dancing was different. It was very state
ly, and the Prince danced well. From
an American girl I got facts which a
jnan's eyes do not see. She said if the
Prince did not admire the Countess
Karolyi it was no fault of tho Countess,
for ncyer had she seen a more noble effort
to please or eyes used to better advantage.
She did not think the average American
girl would like tho Prince, because ho
seemed so perfectly well satisfied with
himself, and took cveryting for granted;
all of which, I am sorry to say, did not
prevent my American friend from aban
doning all else and seeing nothing but
royal dancing when royal dancing was
going on.
After tho royal quadrille there was
dancing of national dances by the Hunga
rian nobles who were present, by which
the Prince of Wales seemed greatly enter
tained. Hungarian dancing seemed prin
cipally to consist in hopping up and
down on the heels with great vigor.
cacy. There is another Hpccics of devil
fish which resembles a skate or ray-fish.
The largest of them weigh from 100 to
150 pounds. It is excellent eating."
The reporter intimated that his inform
ant might possibly bo filling him with
stories originally intended for the ma
rines, which the bon vivant bitterly re
sented and the two parted, tho last words
coming from the latter who continued to
assert:
nnarks in good eatin , ana it you
don't believe me go and try for yourself.
The bay is full of 'cm."
The reporter having seen the varied
contents of more than one shark s stom
ach, was compelled to confess a prejudice
and thought the flesh, while to rich for
reportoriul blood, uii'rht be utilized on
tho county poor farm during a reform
administration.
STRANCE EDIBLES.
A Bon Vivant Who Dotes on Shark
and Devilfish.
From the CaWe.-ton News.
"Little you know of epicurean de
lights," said a bon vivant to a News re
porter yesterday, "if you haye never tast
ed the flesh of tho shark or reveled in
devilfish stew."
"All lish," continued the speaker, "arc
edible, but some are by popular prejudice
adjudged to be unfit for the table. Who
would ever dream of eating a toadlish ?
The appearance of the creature, with its
hideous head and brown spotted sides, is
sufficient to take away any mans appetite;
yet its flesh is tender and palatable.
When fried it tasta very much like floun
der. Sharks are also excellent eating.
They arc plentiful in these waters, and if
people could be made to believe that
iheir rlesh is wholesome and agreeable to
the palate an excellent fish would bo sold
in the market at a remarkably low price.
Shark flesh is firm, and in taste hardly
distinguishable from redfish. A delicious
soup can be made from tho fins. The
devilfish, or giant squid, sometimes seen
on this coast, is the same creature of
which Victor Hugo wrote in his novel,
The Toilers of the Sea." It is known to
scientists as the octopus. In appearance
it is a horrible monster with snaKe-lik'
feeders, which sometimes grow to be 30
feet in length, and are aa powerful in
their grasp as the grip of a sixth ward
politician on election 'boodle' "
"You do not mean to tell me," queried
the reporter, "that the flesh of such a fish
is edible i"
"It is simply delicious when properly
prepared. It should be cut into small
pieces and stewed with herbs. It be
comes then a jelly-like substance of deli
cate flavor that melts in the mouth. I
regard the flesh of the devilfish as a deli-
A Pensioned Donkey.
From th Portland Orgonlau.
A small old gray donkey, a regular
"burro," an animal familiar in mining re
gions, but seldom seen hero, passed
through the city yesterday by express, con
signed to Mrs. J. B. Ward, Forrest Grove.
A notice on the side of the crate informed
the curious that the animal's name was
"John Kellogg," and that it was the pro
perty of N. S. Kellogg, with whom it
shares the honor of discovering the Bun
ker Hill mine, the richest mineral ledge
of the West.
The story goes that the patient, faithful
animal has shared with its master the toils
of prospecting for many years, packing
his bacon and beans, his pick and shovel,
and all his other belongings, sustaining
himself on bacon gunnies, tin cans and
what odds and ends and crusts hia kind
master could provide, eked out by any
vegetation which came to hand, or rather
to mouth. While prospecting in the
Wardner Hills' Mr. Kellogg one day sat
down to cat his luncheon and tho burro,
probablytired of his wandering, unsettled
course of life, began to paw away the
Bnow and uncovered a cropping of min
eral. Mr. Kellogg wiped his lips, took
up his pick, and the rich discovery of the
Hunker Hill was mado and his homestako
secured.
Like a thoughtful, kind-hearted man,
he determined his faithful burro should
share hia good luck, and so ho sent the
animal all the way to Fore6t Grove by
express, there to rovel in clover the remain
der of his days. The little animal, as it
stood in the Wells, Fargo & Co.'s yard.
attracted much attention, lie had gorg
ed himself on oats and stood in the shade
a picture of content, carelessly flicking a
fly off hia rump with one ear and another
from his fetlock with the other. The
hair was all worn off his back and he
looked rough and shagged, but he has
earned his rest, and it ia f o bo hoped he
may long live to enjoy it.
nearly two feet in width, and the cavities
are easily discerned where the imnunsf
molar teeth were set. I he great weight
of the bono would indicate that it was
partly petrified und turned into stone.
From the general appearance of tho bone
the ordinary observer will naturally con
elude thul it ia a remnant of one of the
giant mastodons that in long ages past
roamed over this country. Quite recent
ly what was supposed to bo the thigh
bone of a mastodon was found in the
eastern part of the county, though it was
not in us good a state of preservation as
this ouo. The Major is on tho look out
for another bone like the one he has, and
if he secures it, he 6ays that he will use
them for the gateway. If he succeeds in
getting trie gateway, tnose who pass
through it will of a truth be able to say

ARABIAN HORSES
An

Effort to Be Matffre to

Mr. Robert Hicks Jfendlay of Suffolk,
England, who represents a syndicate of
leading Eglish capitalists, ia on his way
to Texas and Southern California to in
spect lands there offered for sale, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. In re
sponse to questions propounded by tho
reporter Mr. Mendlay said: "My present
mission is to secure, if possible, grazing
lands that will be of the same tempera
ture and character as those of northern
Arabia, Several English gentlemen de
sire to try the experiment on a large scale
of rearing the pure Arabian horse on
American soil. It is said there are por
tions of Lower California, Arizona and
Texas where the same characteristics of
6oil and climate as obtained in Arabia
may be found. With thoroughbred stal
lions and dams it ia believed a race of
horses can be developed that, under the
judicious system of training now in
vogue, would excel the original Arabians
in power, endurance and speed. It stands
to reason that starting with the same pure
blood, and given additional nutrition in
tho way of varied grasses and vegetable
food, with a more salubrious climate and
a purer atmosphere, the breed cannot but
prove better than its original.
"I am not deprecating your American
stock, but it is the firm belief of some of
the most experienced turfmen of England
that the world has never yet seen all the
possibilities that lie in tho heels of a true
Arabian, Although there is some diffi
culty in securing the best Arabian blood
now, yet money will place the finest of
Arabia's herds at the disposition of those
who can afford the price. Improvements
in transportation of late years have been
so great that there is no trouble in hav
ing them brought over to America

a great curiosity on exhibition at the Un
ion House, in the shape of an immense
bone. Some time ago some fishermen
discovered the bono in the fertile valley
of the Big Nemaha river, near this city,
and hauled it into town. The bone is
twelve feet and ten inches in length, and
as it has been broken off at the ends, it
must have originally been considerably
longer; in the broadest part the bone ia

Tho Revised Version.
There was a little occurrence in Wash
ington last week which so far has kept
out of the papers, It happened like this:
There was a certain senator who sitteth
in the high places led up of the spirit in
to the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil. And the devil took him up into
an exceedingly high mountain and show-
cth him the fullness thereof below.
And ho pointed to many sacks filled
with pieces of silver and much stock, yea,
railroad stock and steamship stock, and
Pan Electric telephone stock, and like
wise fat jobs for hia family and friends
and all the glory of them all.
And saith unto him: "All these things
will I give thee if thou wilt vote aright !
on my Little Measure."
And the Senator answered and said un
to him: ' For heaven's sake do not get
behind me, Satan. And just watch my
vote to-morrow and see if it isn't all
right."
The President has just signed a pos
tal treaty whereby the United States and
Mexico agree to an extension of postal
facilities intended to make the two coun-
tries more accessible tnrougn inc mans,
The treaty has been under consideration
since October last, and it was signed by
President Diaz, of Mexico, at the end of
May. It is to take effect July 2. Under
the treaty each country is to charge and
collect its own postage, and no accounts
are to be kept between the two countries.
It is expected that by means of the treaty
the exchange, of merchandise parcels will
be greatly extended. Under it custom
house and consular fees will be done
away with, as far as such parcels are con
cerned, and articles which can be sent in
parcels by mail can be secured by simply
paying tho duty upon them in addion to I
the postage. Broadatreet.
