' Senator Carlisle's fee of fctt.ooo. w-n-n he in to receive in the Preston-Bea I ;.-t. decided in the court of appeals y Frsiukfort, Ky.. the other day. recalls some of the largo fees that have boc.i paid to attorneys. Judge Crown, cf Meinhhi.s. also in a Kentucky case, re ceived a fee of ."0.000. Tha case i i which Senator Carlisle won his big fee made tho heirs of Rolx.-rt WickliiTe richer to the extent of $2:20.000. General j DrajKT, of New Jersey, is married t; one of these heirs, and it was as the rep resentative of Mrs. Draper that Senator Carlisle came into the case, and his fee comes entirely out of her tiortiou of the estate. 1 am told that the senator did not even make an exhaustive study of the case, hut made his argument at Frankfort from briefs filed by the attor neys for other heirs. To do this require) I ins presence Frankfort live days, and this is said to have been all the tune he had to devote to the case, so that his big earnings were as much per day as a member of con gress receives for a year of heavy brain fag for his country and the old Hag not counting jierquisites. The decision of the United States court was handed down something over a year ago in the Fiske will case against the Cornell university. In this case the university lost $ 1,750,000, and the law firm of Hill & Bacon is said to have re ceived $100,000 as their honorarium from the successful heirs. The Mr. Hill in this firm is none other than Senator David Bennett Hill. The fee which John E. Parsons, the New York lawyer, received for organiz ing the Sugar trust is believed to be the largest ever paid to one New York at torney. The amount was $400,000, the same sum received by Messrs. Hill & Bacon in the Fiske case. And yet, not withstanding this large fee, it did not take the courts long, once they got at it, to destroy the apparently invincible legal structure which the able and high priced lawyer had reared. John A. Cockerill in New York Recorder. A California Sculptor's Work. Douglas Tilden, tbe deaf and dumb California sculptor, has completed in clay at his Paris studio a group of heroic size which he proposes to cast in bronze and send to the World s fair. One of this sculptor's works is now to be seen in Golden Gate park, at San Francisco. The subject of the last is a struggle be tween two Indians and a she bear (griz zly), whose cubs the Indians are trying to make off with. A Parisian critic says of the group: "It is broad in treat ment and daring in execution without exaggeration. The figure modeling of the two Indians is of high power, strong and harmonious at the same time. He has succeeded in showing not the muti lation of the two Indians by a ferocious brute, but a fine realization of a struggle for mastery and life which thrills with interest. This sculptor has been work ing in Paris four years, and was the first American to receive "honorable mention" at a Paris salon. San Fran cisco Chronicle. An Unlucky Locomotive. Engineer Knowblow, of the Erie, has finally agreed to preside at the throttle of engine No. 670 of that road. This is the machine that passed through the two terrible wrecks on that road at Ra venna on July 3 and at Kent on Sept. 30. When it came out of the Meadville shops recentlv none of the boys wanted to sit at the right hand side of the cab in the unlucky engine, and it was only after considerable jersuasion that Engi neer Knowblow was persuaded to take charge of the hoodooed locomotive Railroaders are like sailors they have their superstitions, and an engmeman no more likes to run an unlucky ma chine than does an old tar to sail on certain unfortunate vessels. Pittsburg Post From London to Chicago for 3125. Tours suitable to all pockets are being arranged by the London Polytechnic; Young Men's Christian institute. A yachting trip to Norway, lasting three weeks, and including a visit to the land of the midnight sun, is to cost only 12 15s.; the island of Madeira can be visited for 12, while 7 5s. will cover the ex pense or sixteen days m tne jsernese Highlands. There is also to be a trip to the Chicago V orld's fair, costing only twenty-five guineas from Liverpool. London Tit-Bits. A Maine Woodpile. The most wonderful woodpile on rec ord is owned by a man in Oxford county, Me. In 4he pile of eight cords, all cut from one piece of forest, are no fewer than twenty different kinds of wood, viz., white birch, yellow birch, white maple, rock maple, white ash, brown ash, black cherry, wild cherry, apple tree, elder, beech, moosewood, willow, fir, dogwood, spruce, sugar plum, elm, poplar and hemlock. The Joker Is at Large. J. C. Young, of Albany, has two wood en legs. A fool friend, who could think of no other way to be funny, tried to throw a knife into one of his legs. He succeeded, but it struck above the knee where the leg was flesh and blood. Mr. Young is now nursing an ugly and jiain f ul wound. The fool friend isn't in jail, but he ought to be.

The tumbling was a sur prise to hku, and ho could not uudei stand, whil Professors Tronchet a: id Chapins wire fencing, how it was that they did not drop dead when struck by tho foil. A burlesque boxing coulee ending in a well 'faked" knockout was arranged for the king and his party. Professor De Witt Van Court and Phil ';i I Doulo were tlw lexers, and they gavo au exhibition which interested his i.-I.tnd majesty more than tho genuine tight La saw at the California club. At the end Boulo was apparently knocked out, and he was carried out of the room limp and motionless. Of course he immediately returned, and as be apjeared the king allowed a sigh of relief to escape him. and remarked through the interpreter that ho was clad the little fellow h;ul not been killed, as he was so plucky. After the exhibition King M'Bora and his party were shown through the Olym pic clb building. In tho billiard room he had his first meeting with a piece of ice. His dusky majesty wan given a glass of ice water in response to a re quest for a drink. He saw the piece of ice floating in the water and could uc: understand what it was. He put his royal right hand into the glass ui:l seized the cube of ice, but immediately dropped it and jumped back severely frightened. After an explanation ii- picked up the ice again and watchc-u it slowly melt in his hand, tie seemed to partially understand the philosophy of the thing and gave an order for an ice making machine, which he will take to Butaritari with him to cool his roy;;l throat on hot summer days. In the ladies' parlor the glass chande lier was lighted by electricity, and tti king immediately wanted to know wLcm the oil tank was. He had had some ej. perience with gas before. The first v.vjl t at his hotel, after having seen the gas turned on and lighted, he nearly termi nated his royal career by playing the Farmer Wayback act. He turned on the gas and lay down waiting for the g.ia to light itself. One of the members of the 01yu;; i.- clnb who was i?oincr throuxrh the rco:ns with the party wanted the king to talk through the telephone. His majesty had already had an experience and w; so shocked that he did not care fo; another. It was at Sutro Heights on his visit Saturday. W. Lauterbach, -who spent some time on the Gilbert islands, went to the stables on the plj.ee while the king was in Mr. Sutro's house. When the telephone connection was made King M'Bora was asked to put the receiver to his ear. As he did su he heard words in his native language, and he dropped the instrument as if struck by lightning. A long explanation could not fully satisfy his mystified majesty. The king and his party remained at thu rooms of the club until nearly midnight. San Francisco Chronicle. The Secret of Happiness. Not long ago Professor Blackie had oc casion to be in the Fair City Perth. He was waiting for a certain train, and was marching up and down the platform whistling gayly, and for all the world like a schoolboy en route home for his holidays. A gentleman near by, at once recognizing the picturesque figure and wishing to enter into conversation with him, went up to him and asked him: Professor, may I ask the secret of your happiness?" The genial professor smiled and an swered: 'Well, here is the secret of my happi ness: I have no vain regrets for the ia&, I look forward with hope to the future and 1 always strive to do my duty. There," he ended emphatically, "yon have it." And he straightway set to and walked up and down again.whistling as before. London Tit-Bits. An Antediluvian Joke. A hardware drummer is responsibla for the story that a clerk in one of oui hardware houses was informed that the last tailor's goose was sold and to order a dozen more. After puzzling over the matter for some time he wrote on a piece of paper as follows: 12 tailor geese. 12 tailor's geese. 12 tailor gooses. 12 tailor goose. 12 tail- Then he trot rattled, scratched hi.i head, looked in the dictionary and final ly formulated the following: "Gents please send at once one tailor's Koose and eleven others." Burlington Hawkeye. Mesikeys Might Be Made Useful. Monkeys could be used in certain case of fire, where-expert climbing might be required; they could be used as messen gers to some extent, and to do many light chores for man. They could be taught to destroy many vicious insects, such as tobacco worms, cutworms, cabbage worms and many others. They could be taught to do many things on a farm, and I think long domestication would develon manv fields of usefulness for them- New York Independent. A Stroke of Economy.

Harpers Two) Myth lead lattaada. llarco Polo's 'Travels" gives a cari ous ncconnt of two islands, "distant from Kewicvoran about &00 miles to ward the nauth, ami about thirty miles from each other, the one being inhab ited by ft company of men without a sin gle woman among them, tho other by women without tho company of men. They are c alled. resinctively, th Island of Males and he Island of Females." Geographers and others interested in the curiosities of history and navigation have made many attempts to ascertain the exact location of these fantastically named little "jMjcks in tho great ocean: but even after so much research and etudy the European as well as the Amer ican geographical societies have been forced to admit that their whereabouts is doubtful in the extreme. Some believe them to lo identic:! with the Footnote islands, near Socoty, but these hist named are now too small for human habitation, besides being ton near the shores of the Red sea to cor respond with those mentioned by Marco Polo. The most prolwiblo conclusion that has yet been arrived at is that So rodah, a small island on tho west coast of India, is the celebrated "Island of Fe males," it being the resort of daucin-; girls and women who retire to tho place for a summer's outing after a hard win ter's work on the continent. As far as Marco Polo's "Island of Males" is concerned it is Irretrievably lost, the combined efforts of tho geog raphers, the historians and the travelers not being equal to tho task of bringing it from the mysterious mists which have . hidden it for centuries. bu Louis Re public. Hoards ef Trade in Weittern CI t lea. The novelty in western life is tho in evitable combination of leading citizens pledged to promote the best interests of their town. Such a body is variously called a board of trade, a chamber of commerce or a commercial club. It is the burning glass which focuses the public spirit of the community. Its most competent officer is usually the highly salaried secretary, ne does foi his town what a railroad passenger agent or a commercial traveler does lor his employers, that is to say, he secures business. He invites manufacturers to set up workshops in his city, offering a gift of land or of land and money or of exemption from taxation for a term of years. The merchants, and perhaps the city officials also, support his promises. In a South Dakota city I have known a fine brick warehouse to be built and given, with the land under it, to a wholesale grocery firm for doing busi ness there. In a far northwestern city there was talk of sending a man east on salary to stay away until he could bring back capital to found a smeltery. These boards of trade often organize local companies to give a city what it needs. They urge the people to sub scribe for stock in associations that are to build electric railways, opera houses, hotels, convention halls, water supply and illuminating companies, often divid iner an acknowledged financial loss for me StLKO OI a uuuuu Kiuu. iuuo mmo - , I'll boards provide the machinery by which we moot.

Zimmerman, of Albion, Ind., recontly discovered in a trench leading from an artesian well a good sized and very lively mud puppy or wa ter dog. This well is eight miles noith of Huron, S. D., and is 1,250 feet deep. Everybody was confident that the rep tile came from the well, as there is lo other water for miles and miles, fc head was shaped like that of our com mon catfish, its color was similar to that j of the catfish, and it had bushy external gills, besides four legs. Many conjectures as to what tne am mal could, be were made; some persons thought it principally fish, others lizard, and the most general conclusion was that the thing was a mongrel between the two. A genius (Proteus) belonging to the same family as the above (which ve take to be Necturus), and found in cafes in southwestern Austria, is bund aiid colorless. Mr. Zimmerman states specifi cally that the puppy found by him had a good pair of eyes and was dark in color. Lake Byron, twelve miles north of where this batrachian was found, is said to fur nish good fishing. Forest and Stream. Where Artists Blunder. "I never saw an artist yet who could correctly paint a horseshoe," remarked a friend of mine, pausing before a Broad way picture store. "They invariably paint it with an equal number of nails on each side sometimes three, some times four, and even five nails. As a matter of fact, there are four on one 6ide and three on the other, the extra nail being on the inside of the foot, where the greatest strain comes." Which reminds me of the lines of a ; distinguished American poet in which he sweetly depicts the drowsy cattle c a summer's day lazily lapping the cool ing waters of the crystal stream. The same peculiarity is also poetically at tributed to the horse and other animals, the model of the poet having probably been the house cat. New York Herald. Livery of Parlor Maids. English parlor maids wear a distinct livery, not often, though occasionally, seen in New York houses. This consists usually of a plain, long, black or dark woolen skirt, a loose, open jacket of the same material, and either a white vest with gilt or ornamented buttons or a vest made of livery stripes. With this are worn cap and apron. New York Times. A Puzzled Yankee. A story is told of Lord Groavenor, who, while traveling in this country, was asked by a Yankee how he got his living. My lord replied that he did not work, as his father supported him. "What a dear old gentleman," said the Yankee; "how will yon ever manage to tr when he dies?"- &aiv Francisco Ar (ceaant. - The NUrete rielde of Chill.

The most abundant deposits are situated on the fclop of the lulls, which probably formal the shores of the aid lagoons. An exjK-rt can tell from the external picaraneo of tho ground where the richest deposits are likely to bo found.

Tho caliche varies in thickness front a few inchttt to ten or twelve feet, and rests on a soft stratum ; of rarth called cova. j The mode in which the caliche is ex- J cavated is as follows: A hole is Itored j through the chuca, costra and caliche j layers till the cova or solt earth is reached 1-low. It is then enlarged un til it is wide enough to admit of a small boy lx ing let down, who scrajes away the earth Im-Iow tho caliche hoi as to form a little hollow cup.

A to iust how old the eirtrs may be ! when they get into tho hands of tho con sumer in this town is a matter for con jecture, and a task that would cause pleasant thrills in one inclined to mat he matics. Any one who has ever B)ent any time in the country and made a proper use of his eyes knows it is the habit of farmers to keep their eggs un til they have a certain quantity lx.'fore disposing of them. The fanners may collect the eggs for an entire week and then dispose of them, or they may keep them for two weeks before t he huckster gets them. That de pends entirely upon tho number of eggs which that particular farmer's hens will lay in a given period. The hucksters go alxiut the country once or twice a week the dealers say. They gather tho eggs here and there, and when they have gathered a certain quantity turn them over to tho shipers. The shippers, in turn, hold the eggs until they, too, obtain a certain quantity and then consign them to the dealers in this city. When the eggs get here final ly the dealers say they have received a shipment of fresh eggs, and mean it too. The dealers maintain that an egg two weeks old in ordinary weather is just as good as an egg that is not more than twenty-four hours old. In fact, they make bold to say they would eat an egg two weeks old just as soon as one two hours old, and relish it just as much. New York Evening Sun. The Tear 1881. i rro.

A Very Old Englioh Cloth. Fustian is a species of cotton cloth much used by the Normans, particularly by the clergy, and appropriated to borne orders for their cashubles. The Cister cians were forbidden to wear them made of any material but linen or fustian. A stronger description was first manufac tured in England, at Norwich, temp. Edward VI. It was much used for doublets and jackets in the Fifteenth century, at which time it appears to have been im ported from Italy. "Fustians of Naples" are named in a petition to parliament from the manufacturers of Norwich, 1 Philip and Mary, 1554. The name wad corrupted in England into "fustianapes" and "fustian and apes," i. e., "fustian a Naples." Notes and Queries Soared Burglars by Hia Voice.
