Fatal Torch A Kolcntltlc
Plwcovcry ,
An ortHnnry-looldng market basket ,
/illod / with lifeless biids , was taken into
tlio American miiseun of natural hib--
tory in Central park u few days ago.
The folnlH were some of those which lost
their lives while beating blindly in the
glaring Hf'htof Libcrty'H electric torch
on Bedlow'H inland. Most of the birds
were mnull ; amonp them were half a
do/en species of the swallow , Innocent
little wrens , the raven blackbird , with
spots of erimbon under its wings , and ,
largest of all , iv specimen of the Carolina
lina rail , \yhich southern sportsmen love
to hunt. None of the birds appear to
bo bruised , and Prof. J. A. Allen , the
ornithologist of the museum , as ho ex
amined them , remarked that the birds
which 'were killed around the light
houses generally died from fright and
exhaustion quite as much as from any
concussion.
"It is quite easy to kill most birds. "
lie added ; "grasp them around the body
under the wings , making the lingers
meet , and in a few moments tho.y will
cease to bruathu. I have even killed a
hawk it ; this manner , though I would
not advise any one not an expert to try
the experiment with such a bird. "
"JIow is it that these birds arc killed
at night ? Do not birds rest at night ? "
"That is perhaps the most interest
ing feature in connection with tiiis de
struction of birds at Bedloo's island. It
is a question that is interesting
ornithologists a great deal just now
For a long lime they have believed that
birds travel by night during the migrat
ing periods , but there was no actual
proof of this fact and no apparent way
of ascertaining it until recently. Now
it is pretty well established that many
birds lly by night durjng migra
tion , resting and feeding during
the day. The knowledge was conlirmed
only a few years ago , and by accident
Prof. Young , the astronomer , was mak
ing observations one night from the
Princeton observatory witli a friend who
is an ornithologist. The latter ob
served when the telescope was directed
toward the moon , which was nearly full ,
that dark objects frequently darted past
the instrument. Prof. Young said they
were birds , and by closer observation
his friend was not only able to confirm
this , but by the power _ of the instrument
to name the family to which the birds
belonged , though they were Hying ata
distance of several miles. For tne time
the astronomical observations wore
abandoned , and the instrument was de
voted to another branch of natural
science. ' '
It added another interest to these little -
tlo creatures to think of them Hying
steadily along their cour&o at night ,
guided by instinct , imd making their
llight , as'the naturalist explained , fre
quently several miles above the earth's
surface. They follow the lines of the
river valleys , especially those running
north and south. In the vicinity of
New York the birds coming down froir
the wide area of the Hudson river valley
mingle with other Hocks from the Con
necticut river valley. In past ages , geologists
elegists say , the Hudson rivoivran for
100 miles below York bay , through a
low country backed by the Highlands ;
the East river was another channel
through which another largo strean
emptied into the Hudson after coming
far through the Now England states.
The line of this indentation is still dis
tinctly marked. The valley continues
to bo one of the great highways of the
feathered millions , over which , for
hundreds of centuries , they have beer
Iiassing scmi-annually. The statue o
.liberty stands almost in the line where
these two streams of migration unite
and her flaming torch will always bo
fatal beacon to thousands. In the spring
the slaughter may be less , as the Hocks
of birds are less likely to converge unti"
they have passed this point.
How far this custom of traveling by
night extends among the many species
of birds remains to bo shown by further
observation. The general fact , Mi-
Allen remarked , is now accepted , and i
may apply to all species , from the bawl
to the humming bird. A scries of ob
servations has boon made for Mr. Allei
by Frank A. Chapman during the pre
bent month. It was conducted from a
private observatory in 'Penally , N. , T.
with a ( ij-inch telescope. The instru
inont was directed over the Hudsoi
river valley , following the moon a % sin
ro.so. By this means the birds won
been as they actually began their flight
Those iirbt recorded by the telescopy
were flying upward at an angle , and i
was only after in the night , as the moon
reached a higher altitude , that the bird
could bo seen Hying in a line parallo
with the earth. In the sinal
area covered by the telescope
comparatively few birds could bo
been , but in one night's observation
from 8 in the evening until daylight the
next morning " 0:1 : birds were recorded
and classilli'd. Those were largely
varieties of swallows and wrens , but
there wore til o a number of Carolina
rails , and one duck was noted.
The flight of the birds , Mr. Chapman
says , is invariably two or three miles
above the earth , and at times it is oven
at a higher altitude. Tbotr course is
above any local storms which may bo
in progress , and they retain the benefit
of the starlight or the moonlight on the
broad landscape spread below , keeping
in view at the same time the hills ilong
the valleys .and the general coun-o of
the river in" its winding route beneath
tliom. When the weather is stormy at
night in the locality from which the
bird is to lly , it docs not take its llight ,
as the bearings cauhot then be ob
tained. Just before daylight the
birds begin to descend from their
high altitude , to alight whore
they lind a satisfactory neigh
borhood. Several hours are passed in
feeding , and the birds then seek rest in
the more retired underbrush. Toward
evening they fcpd again , and about
sunset , if the weather is favorable and
Iho sky clear , they begin to wing their
llight upward. They do notnlways con
tinue their journey from night tonight ,
but are probably inlluonced by their
btrongtTi , the condition of the tem
perature , and the favorable nature of
the neighborhood in which they llnd
tlu'insolvcs.
Thu iliiVorent species fly in flocks ,
which vary in number from a do/en to a
hundred , and in s-omo varieties increase
as they journey on to many thousands.
One night's favorable flight will prob
ably carry thorn SJOO miles on thotijour -
nov. The destination of many of them
will bo as fur south as Mexico or even
l'on trul America. Hut the greater num
ber < > f bird } , from this neighborhood llnd
their sojourn fin- the winter , as do many
northern people , in Florida or other ex
treme Miuthorn state ? around the Gulf of

tion to a riddle that often p\m.\cs \ \ south

isual ground for them whk-h would one
day bo deserted \\ovild on the next morn
ing swarm with game which had ar
rived by night , when no one wasobsorv-
ing and for which no one could account.
Of a clear night the rays of light from
the Hartholdl statue must penetrate for
a great distance upward , and the birds
flying above the statue not sufliciently
high to escape the power of the light
suddenly become blinded to everything
else. Hoyond the rays the intense
brightness produces a dense black wall ,
and all the helpless creatures can do is
to beat backward and forward within
the circuit until they fall frightened or
exhausted ; or dash themselves reck
lessly on the light which has lured them
to destruction.
Waste of Tissue Without Ilcpnlr.
Vigor begins to decline when dyspep
sia invades the stomach , and the dis
ease , prolonged through neglect , en
tails grievous 'oss ' of llesh and serious
waste of muscular tissue. To invigor

stomach is required. There is none
comparable to Hosteller's Stomach Bit
tern , since it institutes , and if con
tinued , perpetuates a repair of the tis
sues , which may have declined in bulk ,
vigor and elastically in consequence of
non-assimilation of the food. No time
should lie lost in beginning the rcpaira-

THE HIDE OF A HUMAN BEING.
Koiiiantlo History of the Hcml of An
Arlntocrntiu Family of Austria.
Vienna Letter to New York World :
Few persons are aware that until a short
time ago the natural history collection
in the imperial palace at Vienna in
cluded among its most remarkable curi
osities the stuiTcd hide of a human
being. The recent discussion concern
ing the card cases manufactured at
Paris of the murder Pran/.ini's skin has
recalled attention to the fact , and to
the romantic history of the man who
has so long figured in the Austrian em
peror's private museum. The name of
the original owner of the hide was Angelo -
golo Soliman , who , notwithstanding the
fact that he was a coal-black negro from
the Soudanese tribe of the Gallas , was
nevertheless the ancestor and grand
father of several of the most noted
members of the Vinneso aristocracy.
One of his grandsons is the Baron Ernst
von Fouohterslobon , who held cabinet
ollico for several years IIH imperial min
ister of the public worship department.
Anotcer of his grandsons , the Baron
Edouard von Feuchtersleben , ib a cele
brated author and poet , while several of
his great-grandsons hold high ranks in
the imperial diplomatic and military
service. Two days a week until quite
lately these members of the Australian
nobility had the extraordinary privilege
of being able to visit their slutted an
cestors , who , seated on an armchair
with liis perfectly preserved features
and staring glass eyes , presented a most
lifelike and uncanny appearance.
The history of Angelo Solimau is a
follows : In the year 1710 Prince Lob-
kowit/ , one of the principal generals in
the imperial Austrian army , happened ,
while visiting the city of Messina , ii
Sicily , to have his attention drawn to i
little seven-year-old negro boy who was
acting as page to one of the "loblo ladies
of the place , The child was assorted tc
be the olTupring of a native king and
was said to have been kidnapped from
his home and told as a slave at Cairo ,
By some means or other ho had come
into the hands of a sea captain , trading
between Alexandria and Sicily , who had
brought him to Messina and presented
him to the lady in question. The latter
had caused him to bo baptized by the
name of Angelo Soliman. Prince Lcb
kowitx took a great fancy to the boy
persuaded the lady to let him have tin
child , and took him into his bcrvico
Augelo followed his new master everywhere
whore , was present with him through
out all the campaigns , and received :
most careful education. On the deatl
of the general ho entered the service o
Prince Liohtoiistein as tutor of the hit
tor's children.
Angelo had become a remarkably
learned man. Ho spoke perfectly sev
eral languages French , Italian , Ger
man , Latin and Czech. Although of
small stature , ho was wonderfully well
built ; his features , although as black as
charcoal , wore of a Caucassion rather
than of an Ethopian cast , and his hair ,
beard and mustache are silky and curly.
His manners were distinguished by the
most exquisite courtesy , and , dressed in
his HowingOriental roliesandnow white
turban , ho was ono if the moat popular
members of the best Viennese society of
the day. A noble widow , the baroness
do Christian ! , fell deeply in love with
him , and in due time a marriage took
place. For some reason or other Prince
Liechtenstein viewed the union with
disfavor and quarreled with Angolowho
thereupon left his service. He was
however , very comfortably off , for not
only was his wife wealthy , but lie him
self had just a short time before won
the principal pri/o of 20,000 florins in
the Frankfort State lottery. Up pur
chased a pretty house and garden in the
suburbs of Vienna , and lived there most
happily with his wife , devoting himself
to the education of his daughter , Jose
phine , the only issue of the marriage.
The young girl was ono of the most fas
cinating and beautiful typos of mulatto
imaginable , and after refusing a great
many offer.at length gave her hand in
marriage to one of the imperial counsel
ors of state , the Baron von Fouchterole-
bcn , from whom the present bearers of
the name and title are descended in a
direct line. Agelo , who had before his
death become reconciled to the Liech
tenstein family , went over to the great
majority in 1700 , being bovonty-livo
years old at the time.
The emperor , who had always shown
a great fancy for Angelo , conceived the
peculiar Idea of preserving his old
friend , stuJled and in a glass case.
Strange to relate , Angclo's family , far
from being offended , oxprcbscd them
selves highly flattered by the imperial
request , and immediately consented to
surrender the remains to the court tax
idermists. After having a cast made of
his face anil body by the famous sculptor i
Franz Thaller , the bkin was carefully
removed from the body , subjected to a
number of chemical preparations , and
finally slutted witli great care. It ilt
only quite recently that this bomowhat ,
uncanny object has disappeared from
Iho imperial collection , owing , if Jl
remember rightly , to its having been
almost destroyed by the rats and mice.
If coiiio enterprising fellow would now
corner the market on Dr. Bull's Tough
Syrup ho could make his fortune. Be
ware of frauds ,

Eph Holland's Lifo On the River and
iu Gambling Houses.
HIS ADVENTUROUS CAREER.
Winning a Daguerreotype Boat IJoss
of the Greatest Gambling Den in
America Politics and Prize
Cause His Overthrow.
The Cincinnati correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune says : The late Eph
Holland , the famous gambler , who died
the other day. was a remarkable man.
Prior to 18SO he traveled up and down
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers , along
with Alexander and Dovol. Those were
the great days for steamboat gambling. \
Everybody carried largo amounts of
money. Cotton buyers were always on
hand' and rich planters who had sold
their crops or secured largo advances
on them traveled on the river , and on
all the boats gambling was a common ,
ovory-day occurrence. Three-carded
monte men thrived and prospered ,
whacked up with the bar-keepers , and
supplied them with marked cards , and
"suckers were roped in" along with
their boodle at every trip. In this school
Holland received his training and ac
quired his nerve , for he was a nervy ,
gamy man. There were scenes of dan
ger and some rough-and-tumble fights
that resulted from these gambling bouts.
Once while Holland was playing poker
on one of the lower river boats at 2'M : )
o'clock in the morning a largo , powerful
man , clad only in a nightshirt , and with
a largo butcher knife in his hand ,
rushed out of his cabin and plunged the
knife up to the hilt into the breasts of
two of the party. The blood How all
over the table , covering the cards and
the money. Eph reached for his re
volver , but the captain shouted : "Don't
shoot ; the man is crazy. " Ho hud been
'brought aboard by his wife , who was
trying to get him to an asylum. Of
course ho was chained and further violence
lence prevented.
On one occasion Eph , Alexander and
George Uovol were waiting at the mouth
of Red river for a boat to take them to
New Orleans. Down at the landing
lay a little boat that had been lilted up
for a daguerreotype gallery. The
worthy trio at once spied the boat and
for want of something better to do re
solved to have their pictures taken.
They all went aboard and were taken in
a group. Eph was in the middle and
the picture of him was decidedly flatter
ing. So he wanted a dozen copies. The
boys tried to have Eph set alone , but he
wouldn't have it , so the bead was drawn
on the trio eleven times mere , for in
these early days they could only take
ono picture at a time. When they
wee done Eph paid the entire bill and
this was * -o big that Dcvol asked the
artist "if ho wouldn't , sell out. " Oh ,
no , ' " ho replied , "I'm mailing too much
money. " Then the boys began to think
they 'ought to get even some way , so
Dcvol began to tell how he would have
his picture taken if he hadn't loit his
money at a , little game the night before
called "Rock Mountain. lack. " So he pro
ceeded to show how it was done. Alex
ander began to guc s that he could Dick
out "tho baby , "and turning up a corner
of the card which he let life artist see ,
bet $100 and won it. Then he bet the
artist could turn it , and he won that.
The artist now got mad and wanted to
bet that lie could gue&b it. He did , and
lost. Then they gave him a chance to
got even , and he put his boat and con
tents against all ho had lot. . The
proposition was accepted , and Holland
drew up a bill of bale which he signed.
Holland was interested , in the greatest
gambling arrangement ever put under
ono roof in America. It was calculated
to catch big and little fish. In the cel
lar wore bowling-alleys ; on the street
floor an elegant bar-room and billiard
tables ; on the second floor faro , hazard
and roulot held sway ; and in the third
fatory keno was the monarch of all he
surveyed. In the upper floor were
sleeping apartments for the attaches.
Some $10,000 was spent in fixing up. An
elephantine sign proclaimed the new
empire that was to rule the world , and
the establishment opened out witli a
whizz and a boom. Jack Cliinnyas en
gaged to blow the now enterprise up.
and ho swelled its proportions around
about Kentucky. The rooms were
crowded. Railroad magnates , business
men , merchants , and bankers tried
their hands at the various games. There
was room enough for all. The house
coined money from the start and news
of big winnings got out upon the street.
Then Mead gave orders not to count the
money each night , and went to Wash
ington , where he had opened a house.
Hero was where Halt/.heimer got in his
work and stole quite a pile. In the
spring of 1876 the Manhattan bank rob
bery came oil , and soon Red Lcary ,
Scott , and the rest of the gang put in an
appearance here. They held forth at
the Empire. "Five hundred dollar and
thousand dollar bills flashed around ,
wine flowed like water , " says Blacky
Edwards , who was then interested in
the house. The town was wide open for
sport of all kinds and everything was
lively. Running short of funds the job
on the Newport safe was "cooked up , "
and the fuse all ready to bo
touched off to blow up the bank , but the
parties feared the building would bo
blown up too. In the delay the plot was
discovered. Then the bank robbers
were arrested. Red Leary turned over
the bonds and got off and his pals got
twenty-one years. The Allcn-Goss fight
was cooked up in this house. Ben DeBar
Bar bet $1,000 on Allen , which Eph
took , though' he only hud a handful of
81 bills. The sale of tickets only
mounted to $1,400 , not enough to pay for
the trains that run from the little Miami
depot. Then followed the pool selling
on the presidential election of 1870 ,
which gave it a national reputation.
Its days wore , however , soon ended , for
the Rod Leary Gang , the Allen and
Goss fiasco had all made many enemies
for Holland. In addition ho entered
local politics.
Holland was a man full of charity , and
his partners say that whonovorappealcd
to no never failed to contribute to the
poor and needy. "Many is the time , "
said Jim Gleason , "I have soon him go
down iu his pocket and foot tho. funeral
expenses of some poor person 'that ho
know. " When the hurricane happened
at Washington coifrt house a few years
ago , Eph was holding a poker ' seance in
one of the rooms of a building that blew
In. Eph coolly grabbed his money ,
walked to the window , said a big storm
was coming up , and passed quietly down
I the back siaii'd. Ho was always cool in
' emergencies.

MYSTERIOUS IVJABEL HOWARD.
SiratiKe Story of a Pretty Gucot at
a 1'lllh Avenue Mansion.
A New York correspondent writes :
Every little while the , records of the
police are emblazoned with some story
about a beautiful and accomplished girl
who is picked up in the street , is well
dressed , and to all appearances of good
family , but will give no understandable
account of herself.
Such cases generally turn out to bo
victims of opium or omporary insanity ,
or possibly freaks , who , as soon as they
get over the effect of their momentary
cranklsm , are taken awa bv their
friends , or go a way by themselves , there
being no law to hold them , as they do
not come under those of the misdemeanor
meaner nor yet the vagrant acts.
But a singular case lias occurred
lately which puzzles everybody cogniz-
, nt of it , in a lordly Fifth avenue man-
ion not far above Forty-second street.
About three months ago an cxceed-
ngly beautiful girl presented herself at
.his house and asked to see its mistress.
She was about eighteen , very richly
Iresscd , had diamonds on her portion
worth several thousands of dollars , and
Hogether evidenced high breeding and
vcalth. She sent up her name as IIow-
ird and was shown into the -parlor.
iVhon the mistress of the house , who
, vas the wife of a well known banker ,
'iinio ' down , the young lady , in a very
traightforward way , told the ladywhom
, vo shall call Smith , that her name was
label Howard ; that her motherhad
) een a schoolmate of Mrs. Smith's , men- _
.ioning the school , and an especial
. hum , and had told her daughter before
iho died , which was four years ago , that
f ever she came to New York she must
cek out Mrs. Smith and call upon her.
All this on Iho part of Miss Howard so
iir was perfectly probable and coherent ;
nit now when questioned she did not
know what her mother's inuiden name
lad been , and , stranger still , she could
lot tell the name of the place she came
'rom , though she had only left it a few
nonths before , nor could she tell where
> ho had been since then , though she
know she had only arrived in New York
, hat day. and had ordered her trunk to
.01110 . well known hotel , though of what
name she could not remember.
Mrs. Smith , seeing that the question-
ng seemed to disturb Miss Howard very
much , and , being a kind hearted woman ,
. eased it , thinking it wiis only a lapse of
nemory , perhaps , under the pressure of
omc trouble , and , as lunch was an
ounced , invited Miss Howard to take
ll her bonnet and partake. The invi-
ation was accepted , and during lunch
, ho young lady charmed the elder one
by her conversational powers.
'She had been to Europe , and resided
n Paris with her father after her
nothcr't , death. She could read and
-.peak German , French and Italian ; but
she could not tell Jicr father's name ,
business or where ho was then ; in fact ,
ivas not certain whether he was alive or
lot.
During this conversation Mrs1. Smith
could not help noticing that her guest
vould occasionally wander , not as
houtrli she was inventing her story as
she proceeded , but as if trying to recall
from a defective mdinory.
Somebody says that you can never toll
i gentleman until you see him at table.
Mrs. Smith found that applj ing this
ulo to her guest , she v > aa certainly a
ligh-brcd woman , even if .she had not
been convinced of this before. After
uuch was over they returned to the
arlor , and Miss Howard , at the request
of her hostess , sat down to the piano and
very boon showed that she was an ac
complished musician and had a lovely
contralto voice.
Then they talked further about Mrs.
smith's school days , and the lady was
thoroughly convinced that , no matter
from whom she had received the in
formation , Miss Howard was aware of
Mrs. Smith's early life , though she
could not recall the name of the school
when it was mentioned , nor yet the
name of any of those who had been Mrs.
Smith's early associates , and who might
have been her mother.
As the afternoon wore on the young
ady made a movement to go , but "her
hostess insisted upon her staying until
her husband came , which would bo
about 5 o'clock , The young lady cheer
fully assented , and when Mr. Smith
came in he was introduced with a short
explanation of her presence. Smitl
was charmed at a glance , and almost
forgot his dinner. When that was an
nounced why , of course. Miss Howard
could not go "away , and after dinner she
could bo sent anywhere she desired in
the carriage. But after dinner the
young lady seemed so content that the
evening slipped away before any ono
know it.
She played , she sang , she talked
French with Smith and Italian with his
wife , and when told that it was too late
for her to go to a strange hot el , and that
she must stay there that night , after a
moment's thought she assented , and
when the timo'arrived was accompanied
to her chamber by Mrs , Smith , who
afterward reported to her husband that
Miss Howard's underwear was of bupor
lative fineness and her diamonds wortl
at least $10,000 , and that she had handed
her a pocketbook with her money in to
take care of. On examining this they
were astonished to llnd that itcontained
thirty-live $1,000 bills , but not a card or
anything to lead to the identity of the
young lady. That night Mr. and Mrs.
Smith discussed what had better bo done
in the case , but the only conclusion ar
rived at was that they would not lot her
depart next day , or after if they could
prevent it , until they found out where
she came from and wha her friends
wore.
The noxtJFday Mr. and Mrs. Smitl
were moro charmed and interested ii
their guest than over. Smith stayed a
home all day to see if in convcrsatior
ho could elicit anvthing that would bo
acluoas to her identity or where she
came from , but to no avail. If a direct
question was put to her she seemed
pained and answered , that she had for
gotten. When olFov0' ! lje' ' money back
she only laughed and said' she did not
want it. When Smith proposed to de
posit it in bank she carelessly assented ,
and lie has done so in her name.
Then they proposed that she should
make her homo with them , rather than
go to a hotel , and she accepted as though
it was a matter of course. Mrs. Smith
had no children aid ) no family residing
with her.
All this was three months ago , and
Miss Howard remains still with the
Smiths. They have tried over means
within their power to find out who bho
is without success" She has proved
such an addition to their happiness that
they have long since ceased to talk to her
on the subject , as they find it only troubles
her and causes wandering of tlfo mind ,
which comes at no other timo. They
will not hear , nor will she , of putting
the case in the hands of the police , and
especially do they dread reporters , who
having got , somehow , an inkling of the
story , are anxiousto got moro , but are res
pulsed at every turn. Miss Howard's
u < l S o has never been found , though
every * exertion has been made , and
there is ho doubl that she had it , so
that an entire now wardrobe has been
bought for her.
It is bellowed by Mr. and Mrs. Smith
that Howard is not her true name , but
whenever , she is approached on that
{ subject she bursts into a violent flood of
tears and seems much distressed. At all
oilier timea she is exceptionally happy
and amicable.
So far the mystery is just as much a
mystery as it was on the first of her com
ing.
