Fifth iivunuo tabuing pos-en-icd by trade ,

in that region is being constantly re
stricted. It has for several yearn been
evident that the ovorllow would no to

MornlMgrjiile Park. Through that nar

and Colonel Kivd I ) . Grant \ negotiat
ing for a third. The tomb of Grant is
at the northern cml of this section , and
the iiiiifjiiilit'cnt ICjiisconal cathedral is
to sland in it. The widow Grant visits
the temporary sepulchre of her husband
every few days. Jt is a mean , kennel-
jiko structure , in which the hermet
ically scaled collln rests on a bier , as
placed at the time of the funeral. Hut
the surroundings are beautiful , and
when a monument is erected it seems
nt present a long way olT , although
congress is to bo asked to complete the
fund the spot will bo a sight. Indeed ,
it is now one of the places visited by
( strangers ; and most of them by the way
look at an adjacent grave as that of a
long deceased son of Grant lately
brought there. The error got well
started somehow , the policemen have
grown weary of explaining that it is an
old grave , and so it gets a great deal of
attention.
JlltS. OKA NT
has learned that poor , mourning hearts
have the added woes of scheming busi
ness agents. She was lying on a lounge
in her hack parlor the day after the ob-
Heqtiies , when a man gently pushed open
the door , and with great care deposited
a mahogany box on the table , lie
coughed apologetically behind a black
glove and commenced a set speech. "In
the midst of life wo are in death1 ho
began. The lady sprang up. On went
the orator : ' 'How pleasing when those
wo love are removed to have facinuting
mementoes. "
"What is it jou wuntV" was the lady's
"i am tlio patentee of n process by
wliiiih HOWC-I'M are preserved as natural
us lifo. and after death are iniulo to bo
beautiful ornaments of the ilrawing'
" exclaimed the . "Lot
room , man. mo
show you s < mio specimens , " and ho
began to unhjieklo the box and exhibit
u lot of bilious wreathes and jaundiced
crosses. Mrs. Grunt burst into fresh
tears and How out of the room to order
the intruder ejeetod. She has over
since been besieged by persons who , for
the sake of sales or advertising , desire
to do something or oilier about thu
tomb. To guard her against thorn , she
lias inado hei > elf inaccessible to
strangers , save through some male
member of thu household.
Uureaved women among tlio wealthy
in Now York are commonly pestered by
peddlers. I know 1111 instance when n
mother , while her dead child lay still
Btill in the house , encountered at her
chamber door a sallow faced fcmalo , in
rusty black alpaca , Hitting1 gingerly on
the edge of a chair.
"I told 'om not to disturb you , " wailed
the creature in u plaintive voice. "In
this time of trouble I don't want to
hurry no ono. Have you got a picture
of the lamented child ? " The woman
consulted a curd in tlio hollow of her
loft hand on which tlio sex , ngo and re
lationship of the dead person was writ-
ton.
ton."Your
"Your dear daughter is gone ; it is a
great deprivation photographs fade ,
oil paintings are unnatural , but a cast
of tno fa co of thu dead would be like
having her with you again. "
Shu held up for breath , and , taking a
parcel , nho deftly undid it and displayed
something shockingly like the heud of
a corpse , a cast in plaster of some dead
person.
The mother gave a smothered scream
and lied before this horror down to the
basement , to instruct the servants to
admit no strangers to thu house on pain
of dismissal.
In the world of lifo and gaiety ,
THK HALT , SKA SUN
is about to begin. Our belles are get
ting their costumes ready for two debu
tante balls at Dolmonico's for the Astor-
Vanderbilt ollquo. There is no end to
the bizarre nomenclature of colors for
ball dresses. This week they spring
11//.ard green and clmmomilo pink on
us. The li/.zard greun is the shade our
mothers used to esteem in girlhood as
tea greun.
"A ton green glove is the most ser
viceable color in the world , " said ma
the other day.
"Ulaek tea or green tea , with or with
out milk ? " asked thu daughter.
"Green tea , of course , and plain , to bo
Euro. "
Plain green ton in a white china cup
is exactly the shade of llx/ard green
verv lovely in gloves and very nice in
hosiery , if the dress isof the same color.
Clmmomilo pink is a yellowish rose-
color , something like shrimp-pink , and
both the.se colors can bu found in the
Jersey silk shirts that many ladies
wear. This rage for odd colored under
wear Is a line thing for the cleaners ,
who gut the clothes , to clean instead of
the laundress. They do not boar wash
ing , and so into naptlm go the violet ,
bulnhur , ard-grcon and chamomile
piiiK things. For doing up a silk chem
ise the cleaners ask $1.50 ; for a pair of
silk socli's ! ; , j- , cents , and for a Jersey
shirt CO cents ; for a silk night d.ress , $ - ,
nnd for u handkerchief 10 cents. A wo
man who wears this style of garb has no
fool of u bill at her cleaner's.
The latent spark in the trail of genius
scintillating in America , is Charles
Dickens , jr. Ho is rather u prolillu
i-jwrk he has eight children. Ho is
llie present social lion in New York.
Mr. Dickens has been hero smural
wicks and to the writer it occurred
that ho might have his own impressions
of the country that might or might not
ngivo with tho-o expressed by his illus
trious siro. So the writer hunted for
Mr. Dickens nnd ran him down in the
parlor of an np-town hotel. Ho is u
well-formed , hearty , easy-going follow ,
of about thirty-eight , u good six feet in
height , with that peculiar old-country
lleshincs-s which is not our fatness , a
round looking expression of forehead
nnd head like his father but that is all
merry , unthoughtful , uftor-dinnor
: eyes , that look toward you but
not at you , the wily our men do ; a
straight unaggrcs'.sivc'nose , and a candy
moustache for which hid hair is a
'ark''r match.

.as a contemptuous opinion of every-
hlng relating to America , as the world
IHMVH. and to-day I talked with the senD
D learn whether ho held the same
ilcas.
His observation of people , places and
hlngs , while quite extended , is not at
11 critical. He sees many places with-
nt seeing them and has no inducement
o lead him to examine closely into de-
ails. The principal objects of Interest
o him have been liotels , demts and his
udiiiticcs. If pressed clo ely as to the
nest needed Improvement in anything
10 has seen , he would say : "Pave the
trects of New York and seat people
omfortahly who travel through them
n publio conveyances. " Publlo dis-
'omfort is keenly felt by foreigners
ivhile private living is the equal of any-
hlng In the older countries.
Dickens thinks that New York is very
iinich like Paris , and that Hoston has
( uito an English air. American hotels
10 llnds exceedingly well managed ,
'omfortable ' , neat , prompt in service ,
ind well furnished , but "O , dear , me.
10 they can't cook , one of them ! t
ilon't know what's the matter , whether
'ts the cooking or the seasoning , or the
naterials , but nothing tastes right.
There is something wrong with it nil
't- > bud , that's all that can bo said of it. , '
Table etiquette ho lindsgood generally ,
except for the "beastly practice of bring-
'ngon all kinds of viands together , so
hat a man sees the next while eating
ho last. " Ho condoms the indecent
laste with which meals are brought on
ind dispatched. lie regards a meal-
imo as a period for leisurely , pleasant
discourse , tasteful sequences of physical
enjoyment and dainty attention to dc-
'ails ' of taste and rc'linement ; a social
ei'vice in which the dining room is the
omplo , the waiters reverent and olli-
'ient ' priests , and the partakers
esncctful and decorous worshippers.
The fashionable girls who are erowd-
ng hack to town from Kuropd have got
nero to talk about than before. Those
o Inuo not walked with the prince of
Wales , stared tearfully at the crown
irinco of Prussia and soon a few riots
imong the London poor are considered
l\iito \ tedious. Deary mo ! The talk is
nil about the priuco , just as if this was
' England instead of Now York and as
f all the prince did this autumn was to
unit up and talk to New York girls.
It is usually said that the women are
nero patriotic than the men and I hate
.o contradict any of the few things that
lire said in favor of my sex , but I must
id in it that in fashiqnahle circles our
girls are the greatest toadies and tories'
you can imagine. It's because they all
: ire bent on marrying a foreign noble
man.
" 1 don't care ; I want to bo called 'my '
ady , ' said one of the wealthiest girls
n Detioit when she was here the other
day. This everlasting 'Miss This' and
'Mrs. That' is tiresome. I want
o be lady this and my lady that. I've
got the money to keep a lord and I don't
-co why I shouldn't buy one if I want
o. "
ft sopms that when the prince was
.liking the waters at Hamburg the place
ivas full of Americans. Mr. Hlaiuo ,
Miauncpy Dopew , Mr. Ily e , and half a
; limm rich or
FAMOUS AMKKICANS
, vere there with their wives and daugh-
ers , and all the Americans abroad con
gregated there. It suddenly became
the fashion to take the waters. The
rinco of Wales and Mr. lilaino wont
there for the purpose and all the rest
followed. It's awfully ridiculous the
way they tado the waters , which I un
derstand taste sliko the water a cod has
> oen boiled in. You must go at 7 o'clock
.n the morning , take a glass , walk lif-
.eon minutes , take another glass and
walk half an hour , take another glass
and walk an hour. Then you musn't
drink at all and you must go to bed early
so as to be around again at 7 in the
norning. Of course , the stopping their
everlasting nips and smashes and cock
tails is what benefits the men and then
the silly creatures praise the waters.
Well there was tno prince and there
were our girls. lie took the waters in
the little park or garden , took his meals
"n a corner of the Kursaal , which is a
big concert hall turned into a restau
rant , sitting so that all could see him
mid ho went to the concert every cven-
'ng after dinner in the open air. The
girls wore crazy to know him , and one
by one they got introduced. That was
the dltlcrcnco between the Americans
ind the Europeans. The European
women all stood olT and , would you be
lieve it , whenever ho came past them
ho curtsied. They put out a foot behind
and gave a lurch down with ono knee ,
while the men all took their hats off.
Such a thing as knowing him never
occurred to them as the American girls
had him half the time. The prince ,
though stout , ( and what I call a little
beery , though the girls wouldn't say so
for the world ) is a very quick , nervous
man who does everything as quickly as
a cat can move. Ho talks in
quick , jerky sentences and ho
moves like a Hash. Ho walked twice as
fast as any man in Hamburg when he
was taking his exercise along with the
waters. Well , ho turned up every
morning at seven , and there were all
the girls. Ho took his glass of water
and began to tly around the walk in the
park , nodding now to ono friend and
now to another. You had betVer be
lieve the girls were all thor'Oj rcd-oyed
and ghastly because of getting up so
early. Hut they had to take tlioir
chances , because no one is allowed to
speak to the prince until ho speaks
first , lie had about seven or eight
women and men in the party , and ho
would lly around with them more than
half the time. Hut , suddenly every
now and then'he would halt in front of
A YANKT.H 3I1SS ,
and PUV "Don't you want to walk a
little ? " Ho would then start olT with
her for a turn or two and then ho would
drop her and take up some ono else.
Well , as far as I can make out , it was
simply too ridiculous. The English
women with thoiHons limbs and all ac
customed to walking could do very well
with the prince , but the American girls
could not keep up with him at all. They
would try it and fail and the next thing
you know they were trotting around on
a gentle run by his side. It would not
do to ask him to slow up ; in fact , ho told
them walking was no good unless you
got yourself in a perspiration. So each
ono trotted , breathless and redfaced beside -
side the great man , as they think him
over there. I asked if all the Euro
peans didn't laugh at such a sight and
they said possibly tome did but that all
would give their boots , and stockings
thrown in , for a chance to walk with
royalty.
None of the girls mot the crown
prince. Ho traveled with his wife and
sister through the Tvrolstoppingattho
ordinary inns but riding in his own car
or carriage. The two women with hiir
startled our girls by the plainness o
their attire. . Fancy the wife of the hoii
apparent of Prussia in a chip jocky hat
with a bit of ribbon and a guinea hen's
feather in front , and clad in a suit o
brown lady's cloth with a little braiding
on the basque and just the plainest o
over skirts without a half yard to spare
That is the way she dressed , It in
creased the sternness of her appearance
They were awfully private. They ate
alouo and U they wauted to go out oa
alcony or anywhere about any inn
hev stopped at. everybody was kept out
f their way. The German Americans
rom the west were simply crazy to
peak to him but not one got a chance.
They took their revenge by pitying him
nero loudly for a henpecked husband
ban for a dying man.

A SENSATIONAL STORY.
\ | | < Ho Was Wrongfully Commit
ted to an lunatic Any him.
The Northwestern , of Oshkosh , Wis. ,
irinted thu following in its issue of last
Saturday : There Is now con lined at the
lorthcru state hospital for the insane a
nan named Charles Hollin Brainard ,
ind the story concerning his incarccra-
ion in that institution forms one of the
nest sensational chapters that lias been
hronicled in the Northwestern for
nany years. A large number of pcoplo ,
specially the old settlers of this section
'f ' the state , will remember the late Dr.
jytnan Uralnard , a physician and sur-
icon of Waupaca county , who ten years
> r so ago was widely known as a practi-
iouer throughout Waupaca , Waushara ,
mil Outogamio counties. Two years
igo the doctor died , and following his
lemiso has been enacted this strange
lory concerning his on. In an Snter-
iew with a Northwestern reporter to-
lay Charles Hollin Brainard related
ho story of his incarceration about as
ollows :
"My father was a kind , genial man ,
ut Ins married lifo WIIH sadly marred ,
'lo had the misfortune to bind himself
n matrimony to a woman who was the
i-ory personification of cruelty and
neanness. With a hard heart she
aclced seemingly all tlioso virtues of a
nothcr's sympathy , and her children
'ecoivcd ' the most of the time nothing
mt the harshest treatment at her hands.
She had a singular mania for adopting
children , however , and strange as it
nay appear , those to whom it would
seem she must of had some love bo-
ore taking them into her family fared
ust as severely at her hands as did her
own offspring. "
As the years rolled on Rollin grew to
nanhood and entered Kacino college ,
'rom which institution he graduated in
1804. For three years ho studied theo-
ogy , but afterward took the law and
> raeticed the legal profession at Boston
'or three years. From the practice of
aw Mr. Brainard drifted into literary
vork , and for about twenty years past
'ins ' been a valuable contributor to the
eading magazines and newspapers of
.ho United States. Ho Jias contributed
"or Appleton's Cyclopedia for a consid
erable length ot time , and the second
volume of the Cyclopedia of American
Biography has about four hundred arti
cles from his pen. Ho is also a writer
'or the North American Review and the
. 'hiciigo Times , this morning's issue of
the last named publication containing
: m article written by him and entitled
"The Insane Dancers , " being a
description ot one of the socials re
cently given for the patients which
ire committed there. Some two years
igo this mouth Brainard's father died ,
is above stated , but Hollin , who was
then residing in the east , failed to hear
of his fathers demise for a time ; at
east ho received no intelligence to that
effect from his mother , who , as he says ,
was too inibittered against her son to
oven notify him of the sad news. Last
luno , however , Itollin Brainard took his
'ournoy westward , and soon found him-
'Olf at the homestead near Waupaca.
[ lis mother , ho says , had lost none of
lor old-time antipathy for her son , and
mil her avowed object was to see him
Kihind the bars , to quote Brainard , "if
it cost her her life. " In tolling this
story to-day , Brainard said shu used
every available scheme to have him
n-oughtasa prisoner into the courts ,
jut without avail. The Oth of October
lowover , as Urainard was engaged
n showing some of those at
, ho farm how to oil a harness
10 was approached by the sheriff ,
who told him that Judge Ogden would
.ike to see him. The thought flashed
icross the mind of Brainard that the
visit of the olllcor might bo the pro-
.iminary movement for the execution of
some legal plot of which ho was to bo
; ho victimj and ho accordingly asked
llio sheriff if his visit was olllciai or uti-
itllcial. The otliccr replied that it was
iho latter , and Brainard afterward
isked him what Judge Ogden wanted.
The sheriff said that ho did not know ,
and Brainard thought that the judge
might want to converse with him
ipon the subject of waterworks , for ho
iiimself had written communications
concerning this improvement to the
Waupaca papers. Brainard accordingly
_ iccompanicil the sheriff , and upon arriv
ing at the court house was asked to step
into a certain room , which afterward
lirovcd to bo the ollico of the sheriff.
In less time than it took to write this
article a man walked into the ollico
and handed the sheriff a paper ,
which proved to bo a com
mitment for Brainard's incarceration in
the northern hospital , duly signed by
Dr. Manchester and Dr. Pulton. At the
time the papers were served it lacked
only about twenty minutes of train time ,
and Brainard was not even accorded an
opportunity of going back to the house
and visiting his room , but was hustled
on board of the train and a few hours
found him at the insane asylum. Dr.
Kompstor is bound to receive any ono
who is committed with the prope'r pa-
purs , and so Brainard , though perfectly
compos mentis , had to bo taken as a pa
tient. Ho has been at the hospital now
about four weeks , but is allowed the ut
most liberty , having been allowed to go
to Milwaukee. Ho has the free use of
Dr. Kompster's valuable library , and
continues his literary work as though ho
had never been committed as insane.
When this interview was obtained
Dr. Kempitor was not in , but
Dr. Flemming , when questioned
by the scribe , authoritatively stated
that Brainard was perfectly sauo. The
unfortunate man , if such ho may bo
termed , has demanded a jury trial' and
declares ho will stay at the hospital
until ho gets his right. When this
state of allairs is brought about matters
will have arranged themselves so that ,
to use Brainard's words , ho himself will
bo in a position "to dictate terms. " It
appears that while in the cast Brainard
has como into possession of certain
papers which make it to the advantage
of certain parties to have him "put out
of the way. " The person who has thus
been confined by the apparently skillful
plotting of these who are his enemies is
a man of excellent address , andhis con
versation shows him to bo a scholar in
the true sense of that term. Investiga
tion since the interview shows that in
the tlrst volume of Appleton'bCyclopedia
of American Biography ho conributcd
the article on Lyman Bccchor nnd his
sons , and also on Thomas Hart Benton.
Brainard is live feet ten inches in
height , straight of form and active , and
weighs about 140 pounds. Ho is forty-
Bovon years of age and unmarried.

New York World : 1 anl in n position
to furnish thu World with a very fair
report of the siieech made in London
by Slugger Sullivan in response to the
able reception accorded him there as a
Yankee expounder of the law of knock-
out-for-the-gatu-monoy so beautifully
framed by the Marquis of Queen-bury.
On this memorable occasion Mr. Sulli
van said :
LAOIIS AND GIXTU'.MIX : : : I am a
plain American citizen , visiting your
shores for the first time , and hoping
that ono or mure of your self-made
scrappers will put up his dukes in the
defense of your sun-el-proof empire. I
do not brag nor boast , but I aim to
please , and my work shows for itself. I
shall give several slugging recitals
while here in the interests of higher
intellectual development and a more
pronounced phrenological protuberance.
While here 1 shall bo the guest of the
Marquis of Queonsbury.
I am very proud of your rcception.and
and it makes me feel more or less bully
to know that you admire and respect a
poor boy who is here without a crest a
plain pugilist who obtained his knowl
edge in America by the light of a piny
knot after his other work was done. I
am here to see your justly celebrated
country , and ornament the crowned
heads of your European dynasties.
When 1 first began to pugo I little
thought that I would one day put on my
upholstered mittens and take oil my
other clothes on your shores. I hav'n
rose in America by means of my ability
to discover the needs and wants of our
ago and then supply that want. All the
grammar 1 have over saw was the gram
mar of my profession to be , to do , or
to suffer. You will Hud pale and studi
ous people that knows more about ctt.\-
kett and the number of bones in the hu
man body than I do , but if a man wants
his bones pointed out and his attention
called to 'em , I can do it for him.
You must not expect much of a speech
from mo , for I never sneak much in
public , though I have held several pub-
lie discussion * in America for the most
of the gate money. Most everybody in
'
American agrees'with me. If they think
I am wrong they generally toll me so by
telephone. I hope I shall got along
equally well with the English people.
I did not como over hero to interfere
with your form of government , but
more to mix up with the better classes
hero and give them the advantages of
my polish.
1 shall appear in publio off and on
while here , and hope to bo found always
lighting with the right. I have had a
stormy career. 1 am used to sights of
blood and carnage and police interfer
ence. But I must not detain you. for
there are other eloquent speakers to fol
low me. so no more at present , from
yours truly , John L. Sullivan.

In making the assertion that Po/.zoni's
medicated complexion powder is entirely
free from injurious or deadly poisons
we do it upon the authority of a thorough
chemical analysis. It is one of the old

it harmless , but esteemed it highly

A Student's Vacation.
Buffalo Courier : A reporter walking
up the towpath at lower Black Hock
ono day overtook a canal boat on whoso
stern was painted "Polly Forbes of
Schoncctady. " In amlnutu more ho had
como up with the mules and their
driver. Under the mules' collars were
great rings of raw llcsh constantly
chafed and irritated by the hot leather.
They limped painfully onward , too
hopelessly wretched to resent the jerks
and scourgings of the driver , who him
self seemed a lilting companion for his
beasts , for wherever the dust discovered
his clothing it was a mass of patches ,
and a torn wide-brimmed hat protected
his head.
"Hollo ! " said he , as the reporter came
along , ' 'would you bo kind enough to
tell mo the time ? "
" . ' '
"Half-past 10.
"Ah , thank you ; half an hour until
dinner time , and I'm hungry enough
now to eat both Pegassus and Bucepha
lus. They're the ambling steeds you
sco before you. Full of lire , especially
under their collars. They look a little
weary now , for they've bcon on the
tramp for ten days nearly. "
"And you have almost as hard a lot as
ho mules , I fancy. "
"Well , that's just as you look at it. I
rather like it myself. Of course , I got
footsore on the tow-path , but then , when
I'm off , I can't do much but rest and
read. I've been reading considerable
of Tennyson and Browning this sum
mer. "
"Hoy ? " said the astonished reporter.
"Tennyson and Drowning. 1 began
The Ring and the Book' six week's ago ,
on the up trip from New York. I'm
making a study of it. You see , wo can
hardly keep up with current literature
in college. "
"In college ? "
"Yes , I am a Cornell man , and I
spend my summers on the tow path.
That is , 1 have the last two. The first
summer I hired out as a waiter at a sea
side hotel , but my rich southern blood
couldn't stand it , so the last two sum
mers I've followed the profession of a
mule driver. Of course I have to stand
around and obey orders , but 1 look out
for a good captain , and so don't have it
as rough as some of them. "
"But don't you have to put up with
many privations ? "
| it"Oh | , no ; just como aboard at dinner
time , and you can see for yourself. The
walking is beneficial to one's health ,
nnd while the feet get sere at first , thai
wears quickly off. Then , too , the canal
passes through some of the richest farm
ing country in the state , and I wouldn't
ask for liner scenery than that in the
Mohawk and Hudson river valleys. "
