:A Noble Incognito.
IT. C Crawford In Chicago News.
Two weeks ago there appeared at ike
Orand Union hotel, Saratoga, a man whose
ppearaDoe and dress) attracted general at
tention. He was in the neighborhood of 50
years of ag. He was slisbtly above the
medium height, but was quite round
sbouli"rtxL His face wan very angular and
allow. His hair was very thin and woll
dyed. It was brushed around from ttte back
of bis nock Into long straight patches in
front of his cars, reaching nearly around to
his small brown eyes, bidden under very
busby eyelirows. Hi nose was angular,
thin, and very hliarp and red His mouth
was thin, and curved downward. His fae
was turioot h-haven on tbe chin and around
the mouth. Long whiskers, as thin
and t,ha;-'fs as a bun;h of
withered - runs, hnnn down from
esfth nide of the faoe. Tlie wh inkers
wit dyl a royal pur(!e blicU, whicli were
fade-1 nut in atctios, lviviu; a rmMisli pur
j.Ie Ki-am here an-1 ther.. A wiit, soft hat
of exqu siuly fln f. lt, with a black banil,
was worn at all times well u!l''d down over
tbe thin f ice. li s linen wosalway wiiito.
and of th-b'-st, an was s iowti by rh- Imo
collar an 1 th ' flannx cufT.sth.it nearly coji
cealei U- thin, wor2enerl hnn H-i cravat
w a lilac) stock, overin his hirt b -!V?n
down to hi liih-hutUme 1 whiU.' wa--rtiKt.
Upon thu cravat be wore a i.nnd.-oiiio oiL
Kis coat was a dark bluo Enli-di wftlking
coat of a very old-fashione l cut, with enor
mous pnolcrts over his h:. His trou-rs
j;ritv- and wule, but were tihtl strapjutl
over a jmii- of p-tent-leathr boots. During
ho greutT pai t of the day wU-m ho went out
to walk be wo.iid wear white ottcn gloves a
size or two too large.
He made no attempt to force hid acquaint
ance upon any one. He had declined to
register when he came to the Grand Union,
and, as be paid for bis rooms one month in
advance, his eccentricity was respected.
Som Philadelphia peoplo one day noticed
the old gentleman upon the iorch. Engaging
in conversation with him, they found him
very familiar with English affairs, while at
the samn time he spoke with a marked Eng
lish accent.
One of tbe Philadelphiaus, a tu'l, portly
man, with shoe-brush side wiskers, black
eyes, a majnetic port, and an enormously
high bell-crowned white hat, sauntered up to
the office and made inquiries about the Eng
lishman. The Pbiladelphian was an ex
mayor, and had been in England while he
was yet in office. There he had received
many attentions, and had learned to love a
lord with the robust heartiness of an Eng
lishman. He scented a lord in the peculiar
stranger on the hotel piazza. The clerk could
tell him nothing. Tbe stranger had given no
name, but had paid In advance. He was
some eccentric old gentleman, whefevidently
wished to remain unknown.
The ex-mayor was certain that the man
was an English nobleman. Said he to his
friends: "I think I remo.nber his face. I
am quite certain I have dined with him in
London. It is just like him to desire to
remain unknown here so as to be able to
better understand our ways. We will keep a
watch over him and respect his wishes in this
matter. It is important that we keep with
him so as to give him the best possible
opinion of Americans. You know,unless we
keep with him he may meet some of those
disagreeable New York or Chicago people.
That day when the ex-mayor and his asso
ciates were around the old gentleman he
dropped his cigar-ca.se. The ex-mayor
picked it up and hastily returned it. but he
saw a coronet and "Castiereugn" before it
was returned to tbe owner's pocket.
But the news was too great to hold. The
ex-mayor told the news about tbe hotel, aud
soon "Lord Castle reagh," as he was called
behind bis back, was the centre of most
marked attention.
Judge Hilton went up to him first and in
vited him to a breakfast at Wood lawn. Cas-
'lereagh looked very much surprise.!, but de-
ui. d. Then Hilton went around the hotel
i louncing the so-called English aristocracy.
' hey don't know how to enter. ain people,'
1 1 be. When I was in Scot lan 1 lat I was
nitel by Lor..! Ro ;b-rry to take lunch with
aud, by gad, sir, bt took me to a rad-
'-r. 1 i fiaurait and fed me ou pork pitt. and
iter beer."
ITi.'ion's snub only increased the popularity
oj CiMl'Tfagh. Buz when he drclmed all
til's invitations otTore-1 from every soi ree, the
respect for him rapidly rose to something like
veneration. i heu he was in the dining-
room, his oi l wtaie bat on the hotel rack was
re-arded with almost xacreJ venpratioa.
TLe o'd gentleman drank wine freely at
;iis meals, aud-always appeaml to have
p aty or naonoy. As .i al tor no favors
mid HCCtiptei nnno, any one would havo bnn
:in;ly hooted at for doubting his bom ' u
ii eu.ber of the Eu?H-"b p-cra.rre.
One night when Cas Vereah was out iinoD
ti;e front porch the war bie of a real night
ingale trill was beard. Tho English lord
as greatly excited. He looked un and
lowu the gayly lighted Broa lway and al
most shed tears of de'ight as the nightingale's
notes grew sweeter and sweeter. Ho said.
1 bg your pardon, to the ex-mayor, "but
I am passionately fond of the son;; of the
nightingale. It is the first I have beard in
this country."
Tbe ex-mayor explained that there were
no native nightingales in this country. The
sonr was probably from one that had es
caped from its cage.
While all this speculation was gong on the
ladies came out from the parlor and the gen
tlcmen from the lobbies, until the wide porch
wax filled.
Then tbe song closed, and in its place was
heard a rumbling chuckle of a lauh as a
black negro dwarf with enormous shoulders
and a mouth like an entrance to a tomb, came
oat of the shade of the tree and, taking a
stand in the light, puckered his huge lips to
gether and began a series of trills and imita
tions of tbe gayest of all the song-birds until
the long piazza echoed with applause.
"Come here, said Castlereagh.
The dwarf advanced.
"Here is 5 for you."
"Five pounds !n said tbe dwarf.
"It is $25 in our money," said the ex-mayor.
with effusion.
la the group about Castlereagh at the time
there was at least a dozen mulionaires. Were
they to be outdone by this lord in rewarding
this dwarf who had so royally amused them
Then the crisp bills came out with an osten
tatious flourish. One loyalK ew York broker
nw Castlereagh's $25 and went $25 better.
The bankers and brokers showed that they,
too, could have as much contempt for money
as any lord.
There Is no knowing how much the whistler
got out of the crowd. He whistled and
twitterM in great excitement as the bilk
sbowerfcd down upon him. -
Then be stepped back into tbe - shadow ox
the tree and the nightingale's song began
again farther off, and then fainter and
fainter, uetil the dwarf bad disappeared in
the darkneas of a aide street.
The colored cxan appeared at occasional in
tervals, always reaping a rich harvest. Cas
tiatfwagb always gave him 5 whenever the
dwarf trilled the song of the nigbtinsrale.
Aaother night Castlereagh went over to
the csub-house followed by rich admirers.
To a beggar at the door be gave $10, saying
It was an old gambler's custom to in lure his
lock. Tbe crowd with him imitated his ex
rx:ple with, perhaps, not so much lavish
aeo He never awakened suspicion by
eating any of his friends to play. He al
ways went to tbe roulette table and played
always for heavy stakes. One night he lost
$10.0u0 without showing the slightest chasge
of eouritenai.ee. It was tbe same vhen be
was winning. Men who bad nevor - gam n led
In their lives were tempted to von tire t eir
money in the 'i.tuiguisbel . oompv.n..- of Cas
tlereagh. 'Nj one ever prsmued to call him

Qam ceV let fcssst' btlxAsaxifl tnsEtr ev vtaC wsss (9
weiK, who received good deal of attention
from Cactlereagh. .
Then when he went out to walk be never
failed to drop money la the box of an old
woman who sat with a wLocry accordeon la
her lap, chanting hymn .in a gritty ' bass
voice. Tbe old lady was on a bill next to a
hotel where ministers and religious people
stayed.
"Hafe, safe on the other shore," crumbles
the old woman, as tho pennies from the pious
rattle in her box.
Two days ago I met a man who knew Lord
Castlereagh. His explanation of this pecu
liar character Is very amuting. The man
who told mo about him is Arthur GorJvi,
an English detective, who was sent to
Montroul in search of an em-a-ied Iinlt n
forger. Mr. Gordon did not suc
ceed in capturing his man. He caiuo
to Saratoga in trace of hi.n. I first saw Oor
dou when he ca ne up and (u-cospl Cuitlo

"Yes, I know him,'' was his reply.
"Who is hef
"Who ivs Li's say he is?'
"Ho does iut say. He says his name is
Brown."
"Tliat is riht. Thomas Urowu, of Ladon.
A very rum old chap, but very clover."
"In what way is be so cieverl"
After some persuasion. Sir. Gordon told
Brown's story. Lord Castlereagh was the pres
ident of a joint stock company of street beK
gtrs and singers. He had craniz-sl an asso
ciation of street atti-nctions; some ho had
brought with him from England and some
no had picked up in this country. He visited
ill tho watering places and gambling resorts
of the civilized world with his attractions.
He would stay in the background in bis great
rolo of an Euglisb lord incog and direct the
money to his special beggars. Brown is an
old nctor and very caref uL Ho always pays
his bills, and never says ho is anything but
Brown. He has a way of building up a be
lief iu his lordship that is most artistic.
"Was tbe nightingale whistler in bis em
ploy r
" Yes; he has had him for two years."
"And the melancholy violin playerf
"Yes; he is from Rome."
"And the good old lady with the accorded!,
who sings psalms?"
"She? She is a character. I won't tell you
bow good she is. She is from Bristol, Eng
land. Site is al ways placed near the religious
people. Her age and her . singing of hymns
in a feeble, plaintive voice, has made her very
profitable. Brown, too, is in the pay of the
gambling houses. His grand way of losing
money there you now can easily under
stand." "Yes; but what an original humbug."
"Yes, I fancy be is pretty clever, even
among you keen Yankees. But he robs no
body outright, you know, and law cannot
touch him."
"Lord Castlereagh" left Saratoga yesterday
for Lenox, Mass. The dwarf, too, has disap
peared. One or two of his people remain to
pick up the scattered remnants of the dying
season.
Finding; the Hidden Fortune Uarled
My bm Eccentric Old 91 an.
New York Sun.
"I have been sent for very often in my
time," said an elderly detective, "to search
for money concealed by eccentric people.
There was more of this hiding away of cash
forty years ago than there is now, owing,
probably, to the doubtful character of some
of the old savings banks.
"Some fifteen years ago I went up to a
farm bouse in Orange county, at tbe request
of the heirs, to look for money. The deceased
had had no striking characteristics for my
purpose, and, after trying several lines of
search for three days, I grew doubtful. His
riding saddle had been ripped open, his boot
heels knocked off for diamonds, bis shoes
tplit up and bis upholstery pulled to pieces.
Bi icks had been taken out, tbe hearth torn
up, aud the wainscotings pulled down.. Even
the backboards of picture frames hud been
taken out, and the boys had dug around tbe
roots of every tree in the orchard,
but still no money had been found.
The renar 1 was too large to be lost, but I
was nearly at my wits' end. Finally the
thought came lik-j a flash: 'Where wes the.
olJ gentleman in the haL.it of sitting f I
asked. 4Oh, he almost always sat by tha.
win low,' said tbe brother; 'out we've ;uliod
everything to piec-js aroaui thore. 'cJti
down jiiot as he did The man s.it down.
'Iu which direction was he moafapt to luokf
.Nowhere in particular; out of tha window
generally.' 'Toward the larnf" 'No. this
way ' 1 followed the look; it was iu the liue
of aa old. used-up pump. 'Which way did
he walk when he went out to the ffriJ."
'Over to the pump, and then made a boe lii.e
for tho pond These answers had a certain
significance. Men like to have the placx of
concealment in sight, and it Is well known
that they will often walk over money they j
have buried to see that tbe sod is undisturbed. J
I had tbe pump taken up and excavations
made no money Tbe pump was replaced, j
I entered the room once more aud stood by :
tbe window. Suddenly I saw a faint but I
peculiar-looking mark on the sill, it was a
surveyor's point. I 'lined' it up to the pump,
measured out to the exact center of the line,
and the digging began. A two-inch steam
pipe was struck at a dej tb of four feet Tbe
end was plugged. I took borne a $5U0 bil!
that night."

"Marvelous hot ice t" Did Shakspeare, in
them words, anticipate tbe earthquake of
Java? In the midst of the molten la r a and
carried along by the current was a solid and
nnormous bed of ice emitted from one of the
craters. This bed of ice was surrounded by
a thick envelope of sand and scoriae, which
are .such non-conductors of beat that a red
hot stream of lava running over it will not
melt snow. It is supposed that this ice had
formed the cru3t of some vast subterranean

A few day's ago a carriage drove furiously
down toe Cunard dock, and a red-beaded
mau bounced out. "Is this the Cunarder?"
he asked, breathlessly. "Yes, sir," replied a
customs official. Down came tbe red-beaded
man's trunk off the driver's perch, and to
gether they carried it, with his vanse, aboard
the steamer. "When does she sailf de
manded tbe red-headed man of a passenger
pacing the deck. "In u few days," returned
tbe passenger courteously. "Sbt has jusi
come in." "Great Scott!" roared the red
headed inan, "Isn't this the outgoing boat?"
It was explained to him tliat he bad made a
mistake in the day, aud the courteous
stranger invited the red-headed man
into bis stateroom to partake of
some refreshments. Half an hour
later the red-headed man bade his friend
ailieu with, many wishes for their better ac
quaintance. Five hours later; in New York,
the red-beaded mau and the courteous
tranger sat gloating over the valise full of
laces, watches, gloves and tbe like which the
former had brought from the ship and which
tbe customs officials bad never thought of
examining, as he had not come in on tbe
steamer. Customs otUcials will do well to in

very well carry their own smuggled truck
