Notes anil Personals.
A Scotch terrier it a regular deadhead on
thq K.insns City road. Ho only rides on llrst
class trains , and spends his tiroo on the road.
Ho is a Council Bluffs dog , but is equally at-
home at Kansas City.
There is another rumor that Meegan &
Harding , brokers , have an option on the In
land suit company's plant for S'MO.OOO , nnd
that the Union Pacific , or ofllclnls in it , are
back of the scheme. The idea is , so it is
claimed , for ttio railroad company to control
this Industry , and thus put its own goods at
factual cost of transportation Into Montana.
{ The scheme Is , however , stoutly dunlcd.

Brfco nntl Secretary Foster.
The New York Recorder says that it
was Charley Foster of Ohio , the now
secretary of the treasury , who started
in life the now senator from this st\to : ,
Calvin S. Brico. Ho lent Brice $20,000 ,
and the hitter lost the money in some
sort of speculation. Thereupon Brlco
wont to Foster and told him thnt tlio
cash was ° n ° offering him at the same
time a note for the amount.
Foster took the note , tore it to pieces ,
and said : "My dear boy , your note is no
( jood if your word isn't. "
A few years Inter Brice Imd made the
beginning of his pile. Ho bought a
Boruii of railway hero nnd another
scran there until ho controlled a con
tinuous line sill the way from Ohio to
Chicago. With this he made such a
show of competition aguinst the Vanderbilt -
dorbilt system as to compel old William
H. Vanderbilt to buy out the whole bus
iness at a profit to Brice and his backers
of about a million dollars. Vanderbilt
said that it "would not have cost moro
had it boon nickol-platod , " und hence
tlio road got tbo muno of the "Nickel
Plate , " which it luis since retained. To
compliment him upon this stroke of
work Brico's. friends presented him with
iv gold scarf pin representing n broken
safe with burglars' tools alongside it , a
little ruby serving to represent the
light in a dark lantern. The souvenir
was intended to symbolize the successful
attack upon the Vnndorbllt coffers. Sen
ator Brice has never worn it , tliough ho
keeps it as a treasured reminder.
France Generous to Its "Vet . "
A curious story came to light at the
trial of an old min by the name ol Lam
bert before the Assize court of the Seine
on a , charge of embezzlement. IIo ap
peared to bo almost dying , and was BO
weak thnt ho could hardly walk. Ilia
voice was very feeble and ho was stated
to bo seventy years of ago. Lambert
has been for fourteen years cashier in
the shop of a lace merchant , his salary
being 160 francs per month. During
the last nine years ho had embezzled the
sum of 2o,000 francs in small gums , falsi
fying the books to cover h'fl ' faults. Ho
plead guilty to the charges made against
him. In the course of the evidence it
appeared that ho was an old soldier. IIo
had served for twenty-ono years , had
been through seven campaigns , and had
been wounded , At the time of the
Franco-Prussian war though exempt on
account of ago , ho rejoined the army
and wont through the whole campaign.
The circumstances under which ho
came to commit the fraud were very sad ,
as it was proved that hu hud not taken
the money for his own benoiit , but for
that of his stepson , whoso follies ho had
to my for. Under these circumstances
iiml uftor a most moving oration by his
council , the jury brought In a verdict of
acquittal , which was warmly applauded
in court.

An KStiKllittiiiin'fi OnoMc.
I heard an nmusln'tf story some days
ngo us to how un Englishman who wns
visiting this countr.rnt the time of the
Astor- Willing wedoltig managed got
liis iinino iu the p.tnors as one of the
guests , say ? the Wilmington Xows.
It seems the Englishman made hi ; )
headquarters In Now York , where ho is
pretty well known , and enjoys the com
pany of a few chosen friends upon his
stated visits to thla country * lie hap
pened to bo in the metropolis * at the tlmo
the wedding was talked about , and jok-
inglv said thnt lie had received nn invi
tation. Ilia acquaintances * looked at him
*
in blank amazement . Not ono of their
Bet had boon invited to tlio ceremony.
and they Kpcrotly wondered howoneartlr
the Englishman had mnnncod it. Curi
osity llmilly predominated , and nflur
considerable hesitation the question was
put point blank , when the Englishman
laughingly said it was a joke ; but , said
lie : "I'll Iwt any ono hero that I cnn go
over to Philadelphia as ono of the
" '
The bet was taken with considerable
odds in the Englishman's favor. Sev
eral days before thii swell eoromony oc
curred "tho Londoner secretly ascertained
when- the Astora would stop when in
the city. Accordingly ho came over
nnd Folocted a Hiilto of the best rooms
obtainable at the same hotel , and when
the wedding guests began to arrive ho
came with the crowd , accompanied by a

IJo was at once sot down us nn Astor
guest , nud his English manners and ac
cent , which were closely observed , wore
greatly in his favor. When the reporter
came around to got the list of names the
T'nglishmun took special pains to see
that hla 11:11110 : was printed correctly ,
and although ho never went near tfio
wedding ho had the check to return to
New York nrtd claim his but.
All the ovidnnco was In hi s favor , as
both Philadelphia and Now York jour
nals gave publicity to his name , and his
friends to this day do not know that
they were shamefully duped.

The oyster cocktail will , according tea
a New York Herald eonnoisseur.rovivify
a corpse and btimulntu the jaded taste o'f
a man of leisure. As an olHiand drink ,
however , it docs not fall in the same
class witn other cocktails , inasmuch n.s
alcoholic liquors do not enter into its
composition.
It is made as follows : The juice of
half a lemon is strained into a largo gou-
let , to which is added a dash of tabasco
uico , a tcaspoonsul ot popper sauce , a
trace of vinegar , a pinch of salt , a sug
gestion of red popper and a slightly
larger quantity of white pepper. This
entire array forms but the seasoning for
the liquor ofhulf a dozen freshly opened
buuculent Blue Point oysters , which is
'next added to the contents of the glass ,
and completes the cockUiil.
The idea of tlio newly devised drink is
to combine the preliminary cocktail and
the first coui-bO of a dinner. With this
end in view half a do/.en oysters are sub
merged in the liquid and allowed to
stand for a brlof period , after which they
nro drawn forth singly with an oyster
for ! ; rH "teu , . .
The balance of the liquor that r
main's m the glass serves the jHiriip e of
'
washing down tho'ropait. . The other
courses of the dinner1 follow.
Upon completing a dinner thus begun
the other novelty , franpod cafe royal , Is
in order. It consists of three-fourths of
black coffee and one-fourth of brandy ,
frapped in n cooler , and drunk whllo
the mixture is yet in a. semi-fro/en statp.
It Is very potent.
After a dinner begun with nn oyster
cocktail and polished off with a cafe
royal frapped , a man of slxtv is fit to
run a foot race with a boy of sixteen.

BmMiXGHAK , March 3. A btory has
just come to light here of how Champion
John L. Sullivan had his enthusiasm as
n lighter dampened a few days ago by a
Tallapoosa county man.
Sullivan was on the train going from
Columbus to Montgomery. Ho was
' full" ns usual. Leo Smith and another
gnntloman , both of whom are guards at
the state convict farm , happened to bo
on the train. On learning that John L.
was aboard they wont to Duncan B. Harrison
risen and asked him which gentleman
was Sullivan. Harrison pointed out the
championwhereupon Smith approached
him nnd said :
"Is this Mr. Sullivan ? "
"No , " replied John L. , arousing from
his slumber and looking angrily at his
questionor."that' Sullivan over there , "
continued tlio champion , pointing at
Harrison.
Smith turned to Harrison , when the
luttor pointed again to the boxer , who
had thrown his head back on the seat in
repose , and reiterated the assertion thnt
ho was Sullivan.
"You can't fool mo ; you are John L.
Sullivan , " said Smith , turning again to
the slugger.
"Yes , I am , " shrieked Sullivan , ns ho
sprang to his feet In a rage , which
alarmed every passenger on the coach ;
"and I can link nnv d d man in the
curhe continue'd , nt the same time
drawing back his list to strike young
Smith.
Quick ns a flash Smith drew a long
ugly revolver , and in an instant it was
cocked and leveled at the slugger's
head.
"Hit mo if you dare and I'll blow your
brains out , " coolly replied Smith.
John L. concluded not to pit his phy
sical strength against , cold lend , and ho
quietly tank back on his eat.
Fox A i'tmntom. '
During the past winter moro foxes
have been scon and dlled near Sweet
Springs , Mo. , than in any two former
Boabons combined. " Asal Viekory , who
llvea four miles southwest , on Black-
water , reports the loss of thirty-seven
pigs destroyed by the foxes. Several
other far rnora havajost u number of
nigs by RovnimVs raids. As yet no or
ganized movement has been made to rid
the country of thesb' pasts.lr. \ . Viek
ory and his son , hoffSVor , have shot and
killed no less than ( Ivo since Christmas ,
though the killing of this number docs
not seem to have dttntnislicd the supply
in the least. Nightly raids and mid
night onslaughts upon the pigpen con
tinue just the same and pigs diminish
accordingly. Many a bty with a Utter
of line pigs at sundown could furnish
nothing but bloodstains nnd bones the
next morning. This state of affairs
continued until ho who loves to chase
festive Reynard cnmo upon the econo to
destroy the destroyer. But fpx hunters ,
as a rule , do not care to catch their
game , but rather to spare it that the
chase may bo enjoyed another day. Bui
whatever the intention of these hunters
who have come hero from twenty miles
around , they have not succeeded in cap
turing a single red bushy-tail of the
hills.
Apparently nil their chases have boon
after tlio same fox. Growing tired ol
the chose they at lost decided to post
some of their party and shoot Mr. Roy-

within thirty-five or forty yards of. the
fox , und uf tor emptying both barrels of

has emptied hia favorite breech-loader

-Trie Highest Typos.
The Now York Times of March 8,1891 ,
Bays of Harper's periodicals : Whether
rcated , each ono as an individual pro
duction or generally as a class , Harper s
periodicals represent the highest typos
of American literary and illustrative
work. When on the part of many whose
profession is to cater to the reading pub
ic there is a tendency to meet more
than half way a taste which is by no
means healthy , and course matter
is provided , garnished with bad pict
ures , the blunting of the artistic ) sense is
of small moment "when compared viilli
the abasement of the mor.il ono. Never
bavo the publishers of the Magazine , the
Weekly , the Bazar , or Young People
lowered that high standard which was
assumed in their first numbers. Motlill-
cationsand improvements havo.of course ,
followed , nnd today it is dilHcult to con
ceive how they could bo bettered. Look
ing at the literary side alone , the host
known writers at homo and abroad con
tribute to these publications. _ For
the proper present-.itiou of subject ,
pictorially , loading artists furnish their
designs to bo translated by wood cuts , or
process , whichever method shows better
the illustrative idea. A column eulo
gistic of these publications micrht bo
written , and would barely bullico to
specify their many singular merits. It
must bo at least satisfactory to the pub
lishers to know that wherever English
is the language in use there is a Maga
zine , a Weekly , aOazur.ora Youngfeo-
plo , bearing the imprint of Harper &
Brothers , is read. There are other tri
umphs than "tho drum beats" which
circle the world.
Ven caneo Flavors Brnnily.
"Among the saloonkeepers of Vllna
the superstltitiouj belief prevails that
if a piece of rope wheron a person has
hanged himself bo nut in a barrel of
brandy , these who taste of that brandy
will bo possessed of an indomitable de
sire for drinking As BOOH , thoroforo.
as they hear of a suicide by hanging
they come in largo numbers to the
house where tbo misfortune occurred
nnd offer large sums for the rope which
is taken from the nock of the unfor
tunate. " This is the latest canard pub
lished in Novoyo Vromya for anti-
Semitic purposes.
