GEN. LOGAFS BOOK.
BUYING A HOME IN WASHINGTON
AT A BARGAIN.
rbe General's Untirlnc Industry Con
tract with HU Publishers At Work oa
a Second Itook Three Week Before
HU Funeral l)y.
When Gen. Logan decided to write his
book it was plain to him that he mast have
a little itme to call his own, and a place not
belonging to the public. I think this, more
than anvthing else, made him feel the neces
sity of "having a houe. But it was Mrs.
Logan who first discovered tho bargain in
the purchase. I think the wife of Represen
tative Butterworth heard of the house for sale
and suggested the bargain or advantages
connected with it. Mrs. Logan looked up
the agent, heard tho price and went home to
tell her husband. Gen. Logan did not enter
into the feeling for some days. He declared
it would be useless to think of it, and said
his business ventures had never turned out
well and this would be another debt to cany.
Finally Mrs. Ixsaii persuaded him to look
at the house, and they went over it together
from cellar to garret. It was a bargain, a
good bargain, $20,000 for tho fine, roomy
old house, still sounder than half the new
ones costing double the money. And there
was a large lot of ground, the location one
of the most beautiful and overlooking the
whole capital, with the Potomac and distant
Virginia hills.
"CALUMET PLACE."
The place was bought and named "Calu
met Place," for the street on which their
Chicago house stands. A week later it would
not have bern possible to buy it for less than
130,000. The agent said the owners were
crazy when they put the price on it, and
afterward the owners thought tho agent was
right about it. 1 believe the terms of pay
ment were nuide easy, and had the general
lived he wild have paid for it without
much difficulty. But he was anxious, even
impatient, to get out of. debt, and he worked
with a resistless energy and untiring industry
on his book. It is too true, no matter what
is said to the contrary, that his contract with
his publishers was not fair to himself. The
book has sold very well, and Gen. Logan
ought to have received a greater profit.
He knew this, and was in fact made aware
of it just l.'foro he started on his California
trip last August. It troubled him exceeding
ly. Had ho been a shrewd, calculating man
he would have made u different contract.
He was not grasping in the sense of protect
ing himself. But the hardest part of the
whole businevs was that Gen. Logan had
tieen offtrcl $50,000 for his manuscript out
and out. It was no wonder that he felt dis
couraged and depressed and disappointed
when he realized that he was getting no
money for hU book. Had 1 o been physically
strong and well he could have risen above
the depiession. He wa not a man to talk
in a complaining way about himself, and
few outside ir a small circle knew of these
tilings.
A SECOXH BOOK.
Alter his return here he went to work
again on a second book. He had always
worked late into the night, and was used to
it. He wrote with remarkable facility,
rapidly and correctly. When he had any
thing to do he wanted to doit without delay.
But tho old habit of night work told on him
as never before. He complained of feeling
tired, and was without his usual strength. On
the last day he was out ho called at his old
boarding house and spent half an hour. He
often went laek there, dropping in on his
way to or from the Capitol. He said he felt
at home there, and it was certain tlmt he
was ulways a welcome visitor.
Oa this day, and just three weeks before
the day of his funeral, ho talked of what he
called want of energy. He declared he could
not get well rested. Some reference was
made to President Arthur, and the general
said: I feel very much as he did. If this
is all if there is no otJitr life, then this life
is a failure." He was asked about bis
health, and some one said: ''General, your
rheumatism doesn't come back to trouble
you anv more. does itv' His answer was:
"No: I've hardly felt it for a year." That
day before reaching home the pain attacked
his wrist, and a day or two later ho was con
fined to his room. Cor. Boston Transcript.
FROM PLENTY TO POVERTY.
A Sixteen Course Dinner at Delmonleo'a.
A Manager' Career.
When Charles Bradlaugh visited this
country the Lotos club gave him a dinner.
The feast was eaten in the old club house on
Irving place. It was an elaborate affair,
winding it-sboa constrictor-like way through
sixteen courses or so, with wine enough to
float a three decker. Opjosite me at table
sat a then prominent theatrical manager.
He was jocular and he was hungry. He
ate his way through tho courses and drank
his way down the card with scientific exacti
tude. Normally a corpulent man, his dis
tension assumed such propitious as were
alarming to behold. The elasticity of his
tissues was, I am convinced, tested to the
uttermost point of tension. When I left
the table he was still nibbling crumbs and
washing them down with deep draughts of
punch fiery enough to put the Sun cholera
mixture to the blush.
I strolled up Broadway to cool oft and
dropped in at the Park theatre. After an
act of Oakey Hall's "Crucible," or some
thing equally diverting, I went over to the
Palette club restaurant with somo friends.
As we chatted at tho bar a suffocated voice
behind the screen, which separated tho res
taurant from the front of the house, called
out: "I say, waitab, nevah mind those
chops; give mo a portah house steak and
mushwooms instead!"
It was my theatrical manager; my de
vourer of sixteen courses, with trimmings,
and for half an hour I stood and covertly
watched him, in houest admiration, top
ping off the Bradlaugh banquet with a des
sert of beef and Burgundy. I had onco
heard him estimate the daily expenses of a
gentleman for meat and drink at $25 and
considered them extravagant. I now won
dered how ho could get enough for such a
ridiculous"' trifling sum. He got along
with a much less before he dropped dead the
other day, for he was the William Stuart of
whom the papers had a good deal to say the
other morning.
The first time I met Stuart he was the
acting manager of what is now tho Star,
and was then Wallack's theatre. The last
time was a few weeks ago, when I went
into the shabby saloon attached to the
bouse to write a few lines about a first per
formance. The manager, the gourmand,
the jolly adventurer of two continents, was
snoring in a chair tipped back against the
wall, with half a mug of sour, flat beer be
tide him. He was old and gray and by
no means savory of aspect. He breathed in
his sleep with hollow rumblings and explo
sions of choking snorts. How far off Del
monieo's was that night! How many years
a ay was a lwiter house garnished with
mushrooms! The saints shrive thee, sinner,
with the golden tongue. Thy life carried
its own punishment. Alfred Trumble in

Society in Mexico.
The habits of good society here are quite
the same, with a little more dash of aban
don, as any where in the world. Tho ladies
wear imiortcl Paris lints entirely. The
cevillana, or modern small mantilla a most
delightfully graceful headdress which ought
to be the fashion in the states in the sum
mer, so universally becoming is it to all
women is not at all displaced by the French
hat. The sevillaua is entirely permissible
in the forenoon hours, and no lady wears
a bonnet to church. The church costume is
a black silk or woolen dress and sevillana,
and if you want to see some beautiful Span
ish types among the ladies go to the cathe
dral or to the Santa Brigida or Profesa
churches of a morning where, among the
hundreds of kneeling worshipers, you will
see faces that an American painter would
give much to transfer to canvas. The
Mexican ladies go to church daily in the
morning hours, for her worship is not re
stricted to one day in the week, and the
Mexican church is not a combination of
lecture rooms, reception halls and church
kitchen. It is a place in which to worship
God, and not to make a display of' toilets
and to sell oyster stews. Cor. Boston Her
ald. Tmtfiag at Eton.
Fagging is not easy work at Eton. Fags
aot only have to wait on their fagmasters
aft almost all hours to bring them water and
to look out for their rooms, but they even
have to cook for them. All the boys of a
house ko their dinner together, but except-fp-
a two or three houses: where a new rule
has been made, ovcry one has his breakfast
and tea in his own room. And for these
meals the poor fags are cooks and waiters.
There is even a. kitchen provided for their
special use, where they boil water, brew tea
and toast bread. Many heartaches have
there been in those little kitchens. Fancy a
youngster just out of the home nursery, you
might say, being set to making toast when
be knows as little about it as he does about
Latin verses! And yet, take bim to task
with all the indignation of disappointed
hunger and then send bim oft to do his
work over again. But he grows hardened
by degrees to this work just as he does to
verse making, and in time can joke and
laugh as he cooks And, if while he talks be
forgets his toast and lets it burn, what mat
ter. With a little experience he learns to
scrape off the black with a knife. St.

nnMCCTir ATlNft THE BUFFALO
DOMESTICATING THE BUI-rALU.
Paccess or a Man in Manitoba Hardy
Cattle The Fleece Hybrids.
A gentleman is now successfully domes
ticating the American buffalo at Stony
Mountain, Manitoba. Starting his herd in
1878 with four heifer calves and one bull,
it now numbers sixty-one head; the greater
number are pure buffalo, the rest lialf breeds.
When we saw them in January all were sleek
and fat and yet they were then living on the
open prairie and feeding on the prairie
grasses covered by snow. At this time tho
snow was deep and the thermometer had for
long registered 20 degs. or more below
zero. In January of the preceding year one
of the cows had calved on the plain and al
though at the time the thermometer regis
tered 8 degs. below zero neither cow nor
calf apiieared to suffer in the least When
a blizzard conies on the animals lie down
together with their backs to the wind and
allow the snow to drift over them that
under tho combined protection of their own
wool and the snow they are quit warm.
Not one of this herd has over exhibited th
slightest symptom; of disease, although the
only care they receive is occasional watching
to prevent them from straying awiy. Thus
winter and summer they live and thrive on
the bare prairie with ituniliers undiminished
by nny of the ordinary cattle scourges and
with expenses for care reduced to a minimum.
Once a year, the great fleece weighing from
ten to fourteen pounds, is shed, and its
manufacture into truck, warm worn was as
one time a regular industy at Winnipeg,
until it was discontinued by tho extirpation
of tho animals in tho adjoining region. In
its market value tho buffalo is not behind its
smoother relative; for even if tho quality of
the meat is inferior the difference is more
than made up by the great weight of the
animal and by the value of the robe, which
usually brings fro-n $10 to $15. As draught
animals they have proved a success; for not
withstanding their great strength, endurance
and activity, they are as easily handled as
ordinary oxen. In one particular only is the
buffalo far inferior to other species of cattle,
and that is as a milker; but to tho ranchman
milk is really of no consequence.
Mr. Bcdson, the owner of tho herd, after
experimenting with crosses is well satisfied
with the hybrid, as it is in shape more liko
the domestcated cow, and is also a fair
milker. Yet wo doubt that this is suffi
cient to compensate for the deterioration of
the fur; while also it would Iks a matter of
endless regret if in the prosecution of these
experiments the original pure race were lost.
The rate for increase of the buffalo, though
theoretically tho same as with other cattle,
is really much higher on account of the lower
rate of mortality. American Agriculturist.
The Typjcul Mining Prospector.
"The queerest thing in the whole mining
business to me," said a bright eyed and
talkative passenger from the west, named
Eastman, "is the prospector. 1 should
think some good writer could take up the
prospector and make a hero of him. or put
him in a play as the central figure. The
typical prospector is certainly a study.
Ho conies into town all excited; he flies so ,
high ho can hardly touch the ground with
his feet. His face is radiant, and he can
hardly abstain from talking with every one ,
he meets. Finally he picks out a well-to-do
citien, takes him aside and whispers in
his ear:
" 'I've struck her. Struck her rich this
time. Got her sure. A big lead; sure for
tune. All I want is a rhnnce to show her
up. Say, grub stake mo and I'll give you
lialf. It s a fortune for both of us, and no
mistake.'
"Probably this citizen doesn't put up the
grub stake. He has heard the same story
before. But somebody does a grub stake, !
you know, is an outfit for working a min
ing claim, consisting chiefly of food to keep
the prospector going while at work digging
and away he goes, hopping and skipping,
into the mountains. I
"In a few months he returns. His plum
age hangs between his legs, as it were. He
looks sheepish and shamefaced. He sneaks
around tho camp a few hours and finally I
musters up enough courage to go to hi I
backer and report the failure of the claim. 1
"In a few weeks or months tho same ier- '
formance is gone through with again. !
Again he is just as confident as he was be
fore, just as radiant, quite as sure that he
lias 'struck her struck her at last, and big
at that, by gosh.' He gets another grub
stake, and fairly flies with wings into tho
mountains. A few more months and he
is back again, just &s shamefaced as he was
the other time, quite as crestfallen. In this
way he goes on j'eur after year. Why, I
know men of this sort who have liecn en
gaged in that way for ten or twelve 3-ears.
Two or three times a year they are rich and
as many times poor." Chicago Herald.
The Art or Kitting Early.
The proper time to rise is when sleep
ends. Dozing should not be allowed. True
sleep is tho aggregate of sleeps, or is a state
consisting in tho sleeping or rest of all the
several parts of tho organism. Sometimes
one and at other times another port of the
bod, as a whole, may be tho least fatigued,
and so the first to awake, or the most ex
hausted, and therefore the most difficult to
arouse. The secret of good sleep is, tho
physiological condition of rest being estab
lished, so to work and weary the several
parts of the organism as to give them a pro
Iortionately equal need of rest at tho same
moment. And to wake early, and feel
ready to rise, a fair and equal start of the
slecers should be secured; and tho wise
self manager should not allow a drowsy
feeling of unconsciousness, or weary senses,
or on exhausted muscular system, to beguile
him into the folly of going to sleep again
when once he has leen aroused. After a
few days of self discipline, the man who re
bolves not to dozo. that is, not to allow some
sleepy art of his body to keep him in bed
after his brain has onco awakened, will find
himself, without knowing why, an early
riser. Boston Budget
Demand for Gold Coins.
Superintendent Fox, of the Philadelphia
mint, says: "We have incessant demand
for gold coins of this year's mintage. The
department has authorized me to strike only
a limited number, and we started in this
week more to keep up the continuity of
years than for any other reason. The sup
ply is not near sulllcient to meet the de
mand. Whether the applications are to
meet actual necessities or for speculation I
do not know. There are a number of peo
ple who speculate on the new coinage. The
disposition is to accumulate fine sets of
cabinet coins, carry them distances away
and sell them at considerable advance. I
look upon it as an outrage that this institu
tion should be used surreptitiously for pro
curing coin to, in a measure, corner the
market, and I am exercising all the care I
can so that the portion I am permitted to
deliver shall go only to such directions aa are
strictly legitimate and not for speculation."

A MIDNIGHT LECTURE.
t. de witt talmage tells an
Entertaining story.
A Train "Misses Connection" Fast Rld
Ins; on an "Extra" Another Delay A
Patient Aadlence In Waiting Oa the
Home Stretch,
At 8 o'clock precisely, on consecutive
nights, we stepped on the rostrum at Chi
cago, Zanesville, Indianapolis, Detroit,
Jacksonville, Cleveland and Buffalo. But
it seemed that Dayton was to be a failure.
We telegraphed from Indianapolis, "Missed
connection. Cannot possibly meet engage
ment at Dayton." Telegram came back.
ying, "Take a locomotive and come on
- . . lMntiv Annt.li
We could not get a locomotive. Another
telegram arrived. "The superintendent 0
railroad will send you in an extra train. Go
immediately to the depot!" We gathered
up our traps from the hotel floor and sofa,
and hurled them at the sachel. They would
not go in. We put a collar in our hat and
the shaving apparatus in our coat pocket;
c-jt on the sachel with both feet, and de
clared the thing should go shut if it split
everything lietween Indianapolis and Day
ton. Arriving at the depot, the train was
ready. We had a locomotive and one car.
There were six of us on the train namely,
the engineer and stoker on the locomotive;
while following were the conductor, a
brakeman at each en 1 of the car, and the
writer.
"When shall we get to Dayton" we
asked.
"Half-past nine o'clock,." responded the
conductor.
"Absurdl" we mid; "no audience will
wait till 9::0 at night for a lecturer."
AT BREAK NECK SPEED.
Away we flew. Tho car, having such a
light load, frisked and kicked, and made
merry of a journey that to us was becoming
very grave. Going round a sharp curve at
break neck speed, we felt inclined to sug
gest to the conductor that it would make no
especial difference if we did not get to Day
ton tilt 9:4". The night was cold, and the
hard ground thundered and cracked. The
bridges, instead of roaring, as is their wont,
had no time to give any more than a grunt
as we struck them and passed on. At times
it was so rough we were in doubt as to
whether we were on the track or taking a
short cut across the fields to get-to our des
tination a little sooner'. The flagmen would
hastily open their windows and look at tho
screeching train. The whistle blew wildly,
not so much to give the villages warning as
to let them know that something terrible
had gone through. Stopped to take in wood
and water. A crusty old man crawled out
of a depot, and said to tho engineer, "Jim,
what on earth is the matter."
"Don't know," said Jim; "that fellow in
the car yonder is bound to get to Dayton,
and we are putting things through."
Brakes lifted, bell rung, and off again.
Amid the rush and pitch of the train there
was no chance to prepare our toilet, and no
looking glass, and it was quite certain that
we would have to step from the train im
mediately into tho lecturing hall. We were
unfit to be seen. We were sure our hair
was parted in five or six different places,
and that the cinders had put our faces in
deep mourning, and that something must be
done. What time we could spare from hold
ing on to the bouncing seat we gave to our
toilet, and the arrangements we made,
though far from satisfactory, satisfied our
conscience that we had done what we could.
A button broke as we were fastening our
collar indeed, a button always does break
when you are in a hurry and nobody to
sew it on.
A MISCALCULATION.
"How long before we get there?" we
anxiously asked.
"I have miscalculated," said the conduc
tor; "we cannot get there till 9:55 o'clock."
"My dear man," we cried, "you might a9
well turn round and go back; the audience
will be gone long before 10 o'clock."
"No!" said the conductor; "at the last
depot I got a telegram saying they were
waiting patiently, and telling us to hurry
on."
The locomotive seemed to feel it was on
the home stretch. At times, what with the
whirling smoke, and the showering sparks,
and the din, and rush, and bang, it seemed
as if we were on our last ride, and that the
brakes would not fail till we stopped for
ever. A 9:55 o'clock wo rolled into the Dayton
depot, and before the train came to a halt
we were in a carriage with tho lecturing
committee, going at the horse's full run
toward the ojiera house. Without an in
stant in which to slacken our pulses, the
chairman rushed in upon the stage, and in
troduced the lecturer of the evening. After
in the quickest way shedding overcoat and
shawl, we confronted the immense audience,
and with our head yet swimming from the
motion of the rail train, we accosted tho
people many of whom bad been waiting
since 7 o'clock with the words:
"Long suffering but patient ladies and
gentlemen, you are the best natured audi
ence I ever saw." When wo concluded what
we had to say it was about midnight, and
hence the title of this little sketch. T. De

MANY WAYS OF UTILIZING
The Numerous Things Which Our Fore
fathers Threw Away.
There are hundreds of things which our
forefathers threw awny which we find many
ways of utilizing. Within a generation the
residuary products arising from tho manu
facture of gas, which were formerly consid
ered worthless, have through new methods of
distillation and manufacture been made to
Weld coal oil, salts of ammonia, naphtha, tar,
pitch, creoso, benzole, carbolic acid,
parafiine, aniline, napthaline, and by com
bination with coal, shales, alum, copperas
and sulphuric acid. So it is with the con
tents of tho ragpickers' bag. Woolen rags,
old stockings, white flannel, carpeting, serge,
tailors' trimmings, old coats, gowns and
other condemned garments are sent to the
sh'xldy manufacturer, where they are torn
into shreds, mixed with new wool and manu
factured into cheap and serviceable cloth.
Woolen rags are also ground up into flock
and artificial flowers and can always be used
no matter how old.
Linen cloths are sent to the paper manu
facturer and transformed into the best paper.
The enormous shop of Marcus Ward & Co.,
at Belfast, Ireland, depends largoly upon the
linen manufactories of that place for its
jler stock. Cotton rags go to paper mak
ers, while house rags and disc cloths, which
are covered with grease, are sold to hop
growers for manure. All kinds of paper are
sent to the papier mache manufacturer, who
produces various ornamental and useful
articles, such as tea trays, cigar and tobacco
cases and match boxes. Bones are boiled for
their grease and gelatine, converted into
charcoal and used in sugar refineries, sold to
the tanner who manufactures case handles,
knife handles and other useful articles, or
they are ground up and sold to the farmer
ns phosphates of lun?, forming au excellent
und highly valued manure.
Old bottles, vials and fragments of glass
arc remelted, colored by a unique process
and made into flat pieces which are broken
up into irregular shapes to serve as mosaic
window glass. Pieces of tin and tin cans
are sold to chemical works or to manufact
urers who melt them into window weights.
Old boots are sold to men who patch them
up for the cheap trade, or if they are too
dilapidated they are ground up with other
fragments of leather and compressed into
insoles for cheap shoes. The tin and solder
are removed from old saucepans and sold to
the dealer in these articles. In Paris tho
utility of everything is demonstrated. Coal
and ashes are sold to brick burners, the dye
is extracted from scarlet cloths for wood
staining purposes, and the bodies of dead cats
and dogs are skinned and the hides used in
the manufacture of gloves, and one enter
prising chap bays bits of bread, grinds them
up and resells them to French cooks as bread
crumbs. Brooklyn Eagle.
The Clock Was Set.
He was a darky who wanted an alarm
clock. This was his mission when he en
tered Hart's jewelry store After getting in
there he informed the accommodating clerk
of the nature of his visit, and that individ
ual hastened to wait on him. He wished the
clock set, so as to spring the alarm at 3:30
a. m., as that was the hour at which he had
to get up, as he worked in a restaurant that
required early service. He was particular
as to the time he wanted it go off, for he
was going to the theatre to spend the ear
ner part of the evening and was anxious not
to oversleep himself the next morniiur- Tnm
j Rogers, the clerk, a jocose fellow on such
occasions, at once saw the opportunity to
I have some fun at the' dark purchaser's ex-
j pense and took advantage of the same. He
set the alarm accurately to go off at 9:30
p. m., put the clock in a box, received tho
price and handed over the parcel. The
buyer put the timepiece into his overcoat
pocket, loitered around unconscious of any
impending racket until it was time to go to
the play. Then he entered, and in company
with bis best girl took a seat in the gallery.
He soon became absorbed in the fate of tho
hero on the stage and had no thought of his
overcoat, that he laid on the chair next to
him. Everything was perfectly quiet.
Suddenly there was a resounding clatter in
the pocket of that big coat. Such a going
around and buzzing interrupted the gallery
proceedings. The shock arouse 1 him from
his reveries and his seat at the same instant.
With a frantic clutch he grabbed the coat,
clapped his hat over the instrument of
noise, vainly endeavoring to still its din.
The colored lady by his side shrieked out
in wild affright. A Seuegainbiau philoso
pher in his rear gravely explained to tho
startled persons around him that tho man
had developed into a battery of electricity,
and to move away from him or they milit
get struck. This caused a commotion
While this was going on tho clatter ceased
with as little warning as it had begun. Si
lence was restored, all save the audible
smiles that circled round the gallery. As
soon as the purchaser had recovered from
his surprise he took in the situation, ap
preciated the joke and afterward detailed his
experiences to Tom Rogers, saying that
"durned thing made him lose a whole act."

Ven. Logan's Washington House.
The general found his Stone house in a
frightful state of decay. There was scarcely
a whole window pane iu it. Doors were
broken into slivers and half the locks were
gone. A few thousand dollars would have
made it over into a palace; a few hundred
have made a pretty good house of it There
are no glass partitions by Tiffany; no
carved mahogany stair rails; nor are the
ceilings and walls Iincrustn-waltonized.
Mrs. Logan took cliargo of Iteautifyiug tho
house. For weeks she frequented the sec
ond hand stores, and even within the last
few weeks these places have heurd her care

in his house. New Mexico, where Mrs.
Maj. Tucker, tho oidy daughter of tho
general and Mrs. Logan, has lived for
several years, has given a good deal of the

$2 au ounce mid weighs three-fourths of a
pound. Around it hang in festoons bead
embroidered medicine bauds, and crossed
under it are two fine (tainted Indian liows.
Navajo blankets of most gorgeous colors are
used as portieres. War relics are strewed
around ia all sorts of places. Swords and

are interesting and decorative, and it does
not take a national bank to pa' for them.

WHO SAVED THE TRAINS?
Two trains came speeding along the track
(Twos a bitter cold night In winter time)
And the switchman nodded over his fire
With never a thought of crime.
Twos a bitter night, and the snow was thick.
The Are was warm and lie nodded long.
His senses benumbed by fatigue and cold.
But never intending wrong.
The trains came rushing, laden with lives
Alas! for them, with no guard at the switch!
For the switchman's lever is mighty to save
Ordestroy, and this night 'twould be w hich?
His Newfoundland dog lay close to iiis feet.
With silken ears all alert to hear.
And bright eyes steadfastly keeping watch
For possible danger near.
A distant rumbling smote his ear.
And swift as a Hash to his feet he sprang.
Eagerly pulling his master's coat.
And loudly his sharp bark rang.
The switchman rose to his feet in haste.

PAINTING ON CHINA.
KECENT REVIVAL OF MINIATURE POR
TRAITURE AMONG AMATEURS.
Soup IMates that Bear the Impress of
Beauty and Dishes Decorated With
the Heads of the Pretty Girls of the
Family.
The young New York woman has found a
new amusement. She paints on china not
the sort of painting on china that was tho
rage during the first years of the great
American renaissance of art succeeding tho
centennial; she no longer decorates her
mamma's soup plates with a cluster of cat
tails that resembles nothing on earth so
much as a bunch of sausages hung up on a
green string. She paints her mamma's por
trait on the plate, so that when papa eats
his dinner he finds a slice of raro beef re
clining on his -better half's plump cheek
and her well preserved locks plentifully be
strewn with green peas, while her right eye
regards him tenderly through a film of
gravy.
This is one of the phases of an endeavor
to return to tho lost art of miniature paint
ing which fell into innocuous desuetude
when the reign of the daguerreotype began
that charming method of reaching im
mortality still to be found in country par
lors. Little brown leather cases fastened
with two little hooks, iu which pupa and
mamma sit hand in hand with a smile of
vacuoin amiability, waiting to be "took"
and ambitious to hand down his big collars
and her crinoline to an affectionate poster
ity who have to figure around with the light
to catch a glimpse of them at all.
LATELY INTRODUCED.
Whenever Americans go to Sevres or
Dresden they order portraits of themslves or
their frieads painted on porcelain. It is
this art of porcelain miniature that has
lately been introduced here by Miss Smith,
who is a graduate of the Cincinnati School
of Porcelain Painting, and has studied in
.both Sevres and Dresden. Classes of young
women study under her and are learning to
produce the sort of porcelain portrait for
which it was formerly necessary to go
abroad. These are in many respects very
satisfactory. They lack some of the exquis
ite softness and purity of tone given by the
old ivory grounds, but they have the ad
vantage of being practically indestructible.
The life of any painting on canvas is easily
calculable, but a portrait on china is very
nearly immortal, time and exposure to light
have no effect upon it, and after 1,000 years
it would bo as fresh and pure in tint as the
day it came from the kiln.
These porcelain miniatures can be made
of any size, from a head a fifth of life size
on a plate or plaque to tiny productions on
bits of china not larger than a silver quar
ter of a dollar. It is said that one lovely
young female here, whose head has been
photographed from every point of the com
pass and in every pose, made a well known
bachelor a handsome dressing gown, whose
every button was painted with one of the
many protraits of herself, and she painted
them with her own clever fingers, making
very excellent likenesses of herself on every
button.
There are two methods of painting these
miniatures. The French, which is almost
entirely stippled, much of it requiring to be
done under a magnifying glass. This is
necessitated by the weakness of the French
colors, which stand but two firings. Tho
other, the German method, as used in the
Dresden factories, is much less difficult and
the pictures are done by a series of washes,
the German colors standing any number of
returns to the kiln. This latter method
Miss Smith finds the favorite one with her
pupils, as tho results are so much more
rapid and the work less fatiguing. For her
own portraits she used a combination of
both manners and finds tho fusion of the
two very successful.
SOME CHAT.SH.NO PORTRAITS.
Numbers of fashionable women hate
taken up this new fancy, and, as a result,
have made some charming portraits of their
own babies, which are set as brooches or in
bracelets, children's heads, with their soft
curves and delicate tint, lending themselves
cffect'vely to this work. Ono mother, whose
quiver is full, has a bracelet iu which the
tiny heads of her fivo babies are set, and it
makes a chat ming adornment for her plump
white wrist.
These miniatures are not always so small,
however. The favorite size is a small square
plate of procclain about the size of an or
dinary photograph, and framed in plush
they are a very desirable form of" preserv
ing the features of one's self and friends.
Tho Americans had at one time a great
reputation, iuimedatoly before and after the
Revolutionary war, as miniature painters,
and the only record of tho loveliness of the
colonial belles is frequently found in one of
those exquisite littlo ivory portraits. Cop
ley und Sharpies, both did excellent work
iu that line, mid later Shumway was well
known for his exquisite work on ivory. Ho
was a rcat fuvoritu in the south before the
war and used to travel there every win';r,
getting commissions. Even yet there could
bo found in many .southern homes speci
mens of his fino wo-1: and imperishable testi
mony to the beauties of the women of a
Iast generation.
Ono curious phase this revival has taken
is the fancy for immortalizing some one
feature. Women will have tho miniature
painted on porcelain of a very lovely hand,
or a round, white shoulder, a perfect arm; a
rosy, Cupid's bow mouth, and Mine. Bar
rios, the widow of tho dead president of
Guatemala, has had her huperb Spanish eyes
painted, the rest of the face entirely shrouded
iu a black lace mantilla. A society woman
hero has had her velvety check reproduced,
with its deep and lovely dimple, which has
caused so much wild envy of her husband in
the breasts of less fortunate men. Now

PARLOR FUNNY MEN.
POPULAR HUMORISTS WHO MAKE
PEOPLE LAUGH AND CRY.
Marshall P. Wilder, the Wonderful Face
Maker, Courted and Feted by the &s
llsh Nobility Frank Lincoln's Total
Powers Amateurs' Trials.
"Don't think I am funny from choice. J
had to be cither funny or pathetic, mid so I
chose to be funny,'" said Marshall P. Wilder
not long ago, making one of his terrible
grimaces that transformed his smiling face
in tho most frightful manner und made every
one present start up in alarm. "Oh, I can
bj dreadfully funny when I want to," he
said, smiling in tho most seraphic manner
until he looked like 0110 of Laphuel'a cherubs.
Mr. Wilder is said to bo th funniest man iu
America, and ho has leco.ie us familiar to
most New Yorkers as the city hall building.
Ho goes everywhere. He is seen at the
opera, at the theatres 011 the opening nights,
nt concerts and lecture-, at amateur theat
ricals, alteruoon teas, in Wall street, iu the
cotton and produce exchanges, 011 tho
Broadway cars, viewing the hippopotamus
at the ark, at tho races indeed he seems
like some sprite that can lw everywhere at
the same time. His funny genius isbe,t seen
in the parlor and us an after dinner enter
tainer he has no equal.
STANDINO ON TITE I'fAN'O.
"Get up 011 the piano, Wilder, and give
us some fun," is tho usuul way of asking tho
popular humorist to display his talent).
Mr. Wilder has to be iierchcd 011 a tablo or
pinuo to be seen by inot"leopl, for ha is
not a giant in stature. So he mounts the
piano, and generally greets his audience with
a sarulni." grin that would frighten a giant.
Having sultdued thein, he begins to Ikj
"funny.'' He can twist his mobile features
into any slm(e. Ono minute Le will person
ate .some beauty. His great brown eyes
become solt ami bright, his month looks
like a rosebud, und the color conies und goes
iu his cheeks. Then in a second ho will look
liko a villain of tho very deeicst dye. His
forte is in making faces.
This talented humorist is a professional.
He is funny very often for nothing, especial
ly in the cause of charity, or when among
his friends, but be is generally funny for
money.
Iist spring and summer Mr. Wilder spent
in England, and his humor so charmed tho
English that he was courted and feted by
nobility and all its attendant coterie. He
mode the Prince of Wales laugh until ho
cried, and was dined and invited everywhere.
I.ady Wilde, the mother of the o-sthstic
Oscar, took a great fancy to the unique
humorist, and alwuys called him "a com
plete oein of humor." He describes her
dinner dirties as very entertaining. He
says she always wore a brooch containing a
miniature of her late husband on the corsage
of her gown, and that the brooch was con
tinually falling into the soup, but that other
wise she was a charming old lady.
ANOTHER FUXXV MAN".
Another funny man who is soon every
winter is Frank Lincoln. At least that is
his professional name, but his real name is
F. W. Hopkinsou Smith. Last summer he
became a happy Benedict by marrying a
very beautiful Virginia girl. Ho is the re
verse of Mr. AVilder in npiearancc. He is
tall, well formed, and lias an open, fair face,
lit by blue eyes and f:-amed in blond hair.
His face is clean shaven and be has a re
markably fine set of teeth as white as snow.
Mr. Lincoln came to New York a few years
ago and at once became n favorite.
He has wonderful powers of imitation and
can pop n bottle of champagne, send up a
sky rocket, fire oir u cannon or get off any
other pyrotechnic with his voice. In the
uuiinal kingdom he is perfectly at home and
he has many little sketches of his own which
hu delights to give. One of the best of these
is "The Funeral of a Fashionable Lady's
Pug Dog." It is all done iu dumb show.
Mr. Lincoln comes in, his face expressing
deep sonow, bows mournfully to one or two
friends near the door, tiptoes across the room
to where the chief mourner is weeping, takes
her hand tenderly, and wipes ono or two
tears from his eyes. Then he tiptoes up to
where tho imaginary remains of poor Puggy
are lying iu state, bends over to look closely
ut them, applies his handkerchief again to
his eyts and passes out of the rorim. There
is nothing 011 the stage but tho actor, jet the
whole picture is brought vividly before tho
imagination. .
The other parlor funny men of New York
are not nt nil prominent, and most of them
uro only umuteuis und imitators of the two
mentioned. Mr. Kdwan! Fules Coward, tho
amateur actor, can recite many humorous
pieces und is excellent at grimacing and one
of the Wanen boys is also clever iu 1 hosomo
way. A number of young men have en
deavored to learn how to tell u joke and il
lustrate it by gritnaces, but most of them
have been called failures.
"It is one of the hardest things in tho
world to Iks funny, don't you know," oue
of them says; "liecause while what you are
saying may le awfully comical, yet tho fact
that a lot of critical girls and follows are
looking ut you makes you feel und look
frightened. I'd rather play sad." New
York Journal.
