THE DAILY BEE FiilDAY , APRIL 10. 1885. 1 AMONG OUBIOSITIE8 , Wlmt A Bco KcporJcr SAW nml jnorml Bin n Hour Hpcnt Amonji the On. rloslttea In Omabri. A BEE reporter yesterday wandered almost despairingly along a main street and noticing , directly opposite ono an other two largo crowds gathering , strolled into the buildings , thinking it would edify the readers of the BEE here and elsewhere , to bo told of the numbers of oddities and froaka of natnro that can now bo seen In our metropolitan city. Among the variety of things scon , here are some : A little three foot man , 23 years old , weighing sixtyjpoundi , without arms ; with a body about as straight as n ram-rod and wldo as a shlnglo , with a face bright with Intelligence and a head in shape far beyond the average cocoannts sat npon congressional shouldcn. And yet this llttlo freak of nature wrote pret tily , painted aud drew pictures of all BDrta , opened a small , stiff-spring pen knlfo and shaves himself by using his feet , on which there are only four toes each I More than this , ho gracefully uaoa a knlfo and fork , quickly threads the finest needle and handles a tackhamtnor In a way that would put many lady . house keepers to "hamo. Ho is a Now Bruns wick man , but It Is likely that ho gath ered these ' 'Yankee " tricks" In Uncle Satn'a dominions , for nowhcro but in New England would ho have picked up the poraovoronco and patlonco necessary to accomplish thcso things. By way of cjurtcsy , right bosldo of tills llttlo Mr. Armlojs eat a a jolly , happy , P 'A little 10-year-old ( ) ) girl , weighing only 444 ponndsl Her dark brown hair curled carelessly about a f rosh face , where cat ; oral Missouri roses chaiod away all care- and gave , her an air of happinoia that was contagious. This was Miss Jolllphat a miss in her teens , five feat ton in height and not anxious to marry II A llttlo farther and the reporter was 'ploasant'y greeted by a lady , whoso romantic story of love , hair tonic , des perate "Col. Jeffries" ( ? ) flight from Chicago cage aud pursuit to Ouiaha , leaked out through jtho tcll-'alo columns of the Omaha press. This lady need * no tonio for her hair , whatever her pursuer needs for his huait , because she tosjod a grca < blaak veil of hair about her which moa&urod tight foot In length , nnd when asked if she really anticipated difficulty with her reputed suiter , had the good sense to nay , "No sir , nor do I conrt notrloty. " And then she gave an enter taining ontlino of her life's llltlo episode , declaring like Phil Sheridan at Now Or leans , 'Tm not afraid * ' The lady ' professes great liking for'notvepapar people ple , who , she says , are always good fel lows if properly treated , to which the reporter gave his "God bless you. " She Is , she says , a Texas girl who "never told her love but lot concealment , etc. , etc. , etc. Then the raporter fell in among the trick people , and the baby songstress "Joalo , " who la about as large as a Hall county cucumber and no pretty as a poach blow. And another a lady from the Indian ( Cherokee ) Nation , whoao beautiful teeth like pearls and great black eyes , awakened thoughts .that wo read about In novels , and talcl how oho met and laved , andllko her pile-faced aloteri , left homo and all for nim , and finds herself hero trying to delude the crowds of people into the belief that she id only half of a woman , a ? , really eho seems to ha In the p'cturo ' nho makes , bat it is an illusion ; she's a whole woman and a pleasant ono. Leaving this collection and many other curious sights the reporter walked ever to the opposite building , purchased a pasteboard and entered. Tim hour waa opportune , for the "curios" were alono. A man was blowing on paper and making a lire from his breath. This was striking thij tire king full of magic tricks , and when the reporter asked him how he did them , a voice , hollow and sepulchral , came seominly from down In the lower room , and It was plain that a ventrilo quist was clothed in that thlning mo- tallc suit , that rcteaiblcd the shedd d skin of a lattloinako. Near by this fire-brosthing man wits the " don't" "now-you-aeo-it-iiuI-iioH-jou trick man , who does pretty much what you auk him to do , and turns a rolling crank tint makts a pretty girl appear - pear with-a head and then nithout one. Comical thirg ) , think you ? There 13 a stranger thiug there yet , and itij a "ho. " They call this "it" "Clem , " and ho la the only white black man the reporter over saw. Ho ia perfectly white ; every feature plainly shows hii race ; his hair Is woolly and ktuky , and yet almost white In its blonde or lumen color His parents ate black as tan. Ho Is 18 years old , bright and healthy , and would make a splendid representation of a jumping jack ( n a Hard ! Gris procession. "Near ] by him is a Maiagaacar Al bino , born , she says , in Now York , of German parento. No matter whore oho < wa born , aho h a curloui looking lady , with bushy , silky white hair , standing around her head like the feathers In the tall of < i turkey cock , while her pink eyes never keep still ; and the , with her 'Second tight , " as she calls It , roads your mind with certainty , always , provided , you have a mind to b < read. The Albino Ia a married lady ol tthapoly build , and chats pleasantly with her lady friends. Another lady of Oregon , who is as sportive and happy as the Salmon that frolic In the Columbia river ; with dark hair and blue eyes , D pleasing sinllo and continuil good humor ; only twenty-seven , hoart-frte , sbo is as graceful and fragile as nature could make a lady who only weighs ( > 30 pounds I Her arm la the size of the shaft of an ocean steamer , and her shoulders as broad as "legitimate expenses" in the eye of the average democratic candidate. There are some of tbo "curios , " visitors will see in thcio two places , and be sides these at an oirly day an art gallery and room with cages of wild bcaita , and better than all , the famous picture of the battle of Gettysburg , will be here , and then the old boys of the dark days can gaze aud weep.

There wore fifth-eight couples In the room nnd not ono face was soon nn- wreathed In smiles. This Itaelt Ia the best and highest evidence of the perfect management of such ocoisloiu , for to know how to rocclvo the homing and to spotd the parting guest la the consumma tion of polite accomplishment andthis the Myttlo gentlemen possess. Of the m ny ladles andthcir costumes it need only bo said thnt as la usual in Omaha , her fnir dnnghtcru shone most ad- vantngcously In most appropriate ap- pirol , end when this Ins been said nil has been said.

A Visit to ite Laramie Lftu or Pure Natural Soda , . Beginning of I'rollmlnnry TTork An Important Industry llcunn , With Kvory Promise of Success. Laramie Uoomcrang , The opening of the soda works In this city being assured that the work of drainIng - Ing the lakes preparatory to taking oat the first few carloads from their Inex haustible deposits having begun , pnplio Interest has fully awakened to the Im portance of the movement and every ad ditional atop taken is watched oagorly. It wai therefore with no little satisfaction tint the Boomerang reporter recently ro colvcd an Invitation from Superintendent ont Wurlcllo , to accompany him on r trip to the lakes , and it ir noedlees to add that the invitation was at once accepted. About tbrco-quartcrs of an hour after leaving the city , now hidden from vioir by the gentle undulations of the prairie , the train baited upon a small elevation , aud , spread out upon throe sides of It , like mirrors embedded in the bosom of the plains , lay a ohaln of small lakes , forming a thrco-quarlor circle , the opcu aide being in the direction of the city , and thcso wcro thobedi of tho-famous soda deposits. On the north , a quarter of a mlle away. Is the largest aud hand somest hko of T1IE QUAUTETTE , and in a corresponding depression ont ho south sldo of the track and exactly paral lel with the first , is another , nearly equal In extent. To the wet and , lying between - twoen the two , tno others of much smaller slzo fill up the space , being sepa rated from each other and from their larger sisters by spaces ot perhaps 200 to 400 foot. The largest lake , the first upon the right hand side , is about a third of a mile long and a quarter wide , and was , like the rest , covered with water. Directly west of It and only four inches higher In elevation , ia the smallest of the group , porhapa eight acres In extent , and southeast of this , and eix inches lower in eleva tion , is the lake now being drained , and npon whoso contents work will begin. This lake covera about ton acres of ground , and on Monday about nine Inch es of surface water had gathered ever the sods. The force of men sent out by Superintendent Wuttelo FINISHED THE DITCH to the last lake Ia the chain , on the south aide of the railroad , on Monday evening and the water had In half a day receded about six inches , only eonio three inches remaining at the time of the visit. A strong deep and otoady current w&a still running down the dlton , which has a fall of fourteen inched , nnd It was expected that the lake would bo dry by the next morning. The track runs right down to the margin of the lake atld under the chute which was built recently. It will bo extended clear aorcss eventually , the chute being moved from Jltno to time as the deposit at this shallow point is exhausted. Walking out as far ss the timbers went , a shovel and pick wcro brought into requisition , and a bnshol or EO of the soda thrown up on the plat form. A soon through the water the de posit looks exactly like mush ice , being rotted at the snrfaco by the water , but when lifted out U quickly falls apart in A SHOWER or CRYSTALS about the liza of peas. Thcso crystals when first taken out and wet with water are transparent nnd pretty but on expos ure to the air they dry and soon assume the appearance of gum arable , later on becoming white ss snow and crumbling to powder. A pile of the stuff taken out long ago and lying near by , looked like n heap of dirty aahoa , while some largo pieces lying on the plains , whore tbey had been thrown , had the appaaranco of LUMPS OP CHALK. On digging deeper In the lakes the crystals taken out are darker but even tually change like the rest. This Is the lake from which a cube was taken for the Denver expcsltion and at the hole it came from the depth of the de- posito measured eight and one- half feot. This was not ever one-third of the way out to the center , which would naturally bo much deeper. The Ibko now receiving the drainage shows at one point twonty-ono feet of the deposit and the others will probably go about tbo eamo. Mr. Strong , who took out the cube referred to , says there Is a layer of mud or sand , blown no doubt from the plain ; , between each year's grovrth of soda. It would necm at first glance as If the ttcady taking out of the soda would iu a short tlmo exhaust the supply , but Instead of that it n LIKE A SI'IIINO om which a bucket of water lakon aves no perceptible diminution of quali ty , the space being at once refilled from ho vein in the earth. So it la with this , constant eupply keeping the lake just o full all the tlmo. The company has nnk two artesian wells In the vicinity , iut neither .aro ( lowing , although one , hich has been plucgcd up , would , It Is .bought , rnn if the plog wai removed , "n the shores of these lakes and.for some ( stance about them , the ground la aturated with the water , which has vaporated at the snrfaco and left the grass and earth covered with a coat of oda that resembles A LIGHT KALL OF SNOW. t is marshy and one seems , when walk ng about to bo treading on a mixture of oap and ground slate , sinking in up to ho knee in places. The ground never roezos here and all about the lakes thereon ; roon grass could been seen coming up , mong the withered blades of last year's rep , birds wore Hying about and allght- ng near the visitors of whom they did not teem in the slightest fesr and swarms of small bugs were flying alonn , ouo of the first Indications of spiing While , porhjips , there Is nothing very remarkable markablo to Impress one with the value cf thcso lakes , at first sight , it soon b ? comes apparent on examination that they form ono of THE MOST WONDERFUL of all the varied resources of tbo terri tery and must prove ono of the raoit val a able pieces of property In the west. I is not like mining for precious metals where there are so many chances to b taken , but nstui-j has hero deposited th pure stuff in a natural reservoir , csrryln it no one kiows how far under ground and leaving man nothicg to do but shove it up and load it on the care , take it t the works and transform It into a mar ketable article. When the firit lake Is exhausted , th one next east of It , which la six inohe higher , will be drained through Its bee to the lower lake andfarniih a now fiulc Ithe large lake east of It will come nor in ! can bo drained into IU tiria elstei across the traak , but the latter , when it is needed , will have to bo pumped dry by Btcim. At all events the outlook it a grand ono for those interested In working the soda deposit ) , and will last longer than ono generation. The railroad people are at work in earnest , and Liriialo will br benefited for all time by the location o the works so near the city. 7 HE OO3I OF KOYALTSL. lUsrcnues Hccolvea by the Bov crlgna of Europe. Cleveland Leader. "Buck , how much do a king git ? ' The question is asked by others than the gnoiant negroes who propounded It to luckloborry Finn , as the two iloat on a aft , according to M tk Twain's story , down the Mississippi river. I will try to itrswcr It , translating the amounts of the allowances of thotchlof sovorlgn of Suropo Into American dollars , giving the csult in round numbers and generally ess than the actual amount received , t will ba seen that royalty Is an oxpcn ira luxury , and that the § 50,000 wo give ur president is a bagatelle beside it. The emperor of Russia has an income if between seven and eight million del- ara A year , derived chlelly from immense states belonging to the crown , and bo- idea this ho levies a heavy tax npon the istxsanta to support his relatives of the mporlal family. The sultan of Turkey , with a bankrupt country , is al- owcd § 5,500,000 , annually. Ho mi in additional a private treasury nd inheritances of great value. Bo > aye , however , nil the expenses of the ourt himself. In Austria the nobles ro wealthy , and the conrt expenses of bo emperor ate very email. Still ho is llowod o civil list of about $3,000,000 , as § 8,000,000 sot aildo for his private xponso account , end about § 250,000 for mforcsoen expenses Kaiser Wllhelm ms no allowance for a personal expense ccount as emperor of Germany , and his ncomo as king of Prntsu comes chiefly rom the estates of the crown. Ho gets , ovorthclcjs , § 4,000,000 a year ana his louse rout costs him nothing. The rown prlnco of Germany has a small al- owanco. It Is said not to exceed § 75- 00 , but his father gives him two palaces ent free , and ho hai the right to charge certain number of dinners every year 0 the old man. A CKAZY KINO'S REVENUE. The crazy king of Bavaria , who hates 10 sight of women , and sometimes holds n's audiences with his ministers from bo- itnd a screen , receives by law more than 1 million dollars ovcry year , and in 1873 its Income was more thin a million and a alf. King Humbert , of Italy , is only forty- vo yosra old , and ho enjoys the § 2,000 , 00 which make up his annual allowance , lo has twenty palaces scattered all ever taly , and when ho travels over his ominlons he always sleeps under his own oof. Kiog Leopold , of Belgium , has bout 1,000,000 more subjects under him ban there are people In Now York. His dngdom is the most thickly populated n Europe , and it has a debt of about 300 to each man , woman and child In t , but this does not cause Leopold to conomlzj. Ho takes § 000,000 a year rom his people for private expense ; , ad they give an additional annuity of 80,000 to his brother. Spain , poor as she la , pays between > 1,000,000 and § 2,000,000 annually for 10 expenses of royalty ; Portugal allows aout § 000,000 , and Dom Pedro , of razll , has an allowance of about § 240- 00 , while his civil list foots up over 600,000. In addition to this , Dom Pp. ro's wife gets $50,000 a year for pin money. Switzerland la the most coon- > inlcal government in the world. Its ; utal expenses are only about § 8,000- 30 a year , nnd It gives much smaller ilaries to its officers than the United tates. A QUEEN WHO PAYS WELL , The royal family of England costs that ountry more than § 2,000,000 yearly , and " 119 does not include the private Income 1 the queen and the prince of Wales rom the immense estates under their oatrol. Victoria herself is allowed 35,000 pound ) annually , and she can do s she pleases with at least 60,000 pounds f this. This allowance of over § 1,900- ' 00 Is outside of the sum devoted to the xpenscs of the roysl household , consist ng of about 1,000 poraom , receiving sal- tics from about § 10,000 a year , as hi the ao of Lord Chamberlain , down to the oyal ratcatcher , who gets loss than § 75 a rear. The waiters at the dinner table of ic queen get § 2,000 a year. The chiaf : onard gets § 10,000 a year , and poor 'onnyson , the poet laureate , receives lees ban § 500 annually. This COCOO pounds which the queen ocelvoo , she has , it is said , saved very aliglotialy every year , end it has been arefully intcstea. In England yon will tear a great deal of grumbling abont her iconcmyand stinginess. Shois.alwayswill- 113 to oay good things , to go to charitable ( Filraand dispense cheap honors , but hen it comes to giving out money her louth is closed as are also her pnroo. trings. She never pays anything for [ ding on the railroads , The companies arnish her with pastes. She has no ent to pvy and she receives lota of pres- uts. She has also the revenues of the ) uchy of Lancaster , amounting to more ban § 300,000 every year ; the estate of ) sborne , which has lately grown In value nd the revenues of Olaremout , an estate worth considerable ever $500,000.c A TRINCE'ti MEAGRE INCOME. The Prince of Wales receives nearly .200,000 a year out of the British trots- iry , in addition to his Income from tbo ) uchy of Cornwall , worth about ' . § 300- 000 more , The Prlncets of Wales re- eivea an annuity of near § 50,000 , the Duke of Edlnbnrg nearly § 100,000 and ho Duke of Albany the same. Duchess if Cambridge gets $30,000 per year , the duke of Cambridge about § 60,000 , , and other,1 members of the royal family sums ranging from a I ittle ever § 14,000 to about § 30,000. So you see that royalty will naterlally Increase the taxes of the United States if , In the far future , it should be thrust upon u . The aggregate national debt of Europe is 70,000,000,000 francs , or , in round numbers , between $9,000,000,000 and $10COO,000,000. Its Interest amounts nnually to nearly $000,000,000 , and the payment of this consumes more than one fourth of the government revenues. Ol this debt , more than two-thirds Is owed by the Netherlands , Great Britain , France and Austria , and of2 all the European eovernmentsSwitzerland U the only one that U without material debt.
