THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. “WEDNESDAY.” § REPAIRING A TIME-PLECE. Eryt to Find Oat Why & Watch = Stopped. Gow THE EXPERTS SHOWED WHAT THEY KNEW AND HOW THE OWNER WAS FINALLY sUR- PRISED. From the New York Times. “Here is your watch,” said the jeweler, as he tore off a small white tag from the ring ofa well-worn stlver watch and handed the time- piece toa reporter one day last week. “If it breaks inside of a year you can bring it back and I will fix it for nothing. I don't think it will trouble ye though, for it was very thoronzhly repaired by one of our best work- men.” “i hope not,” reptied the reporter, as he paid the jeweler 83 and left the store with the watch ticking loudly in nis pocket. For hearly a week the watch was a model of regu- larity, recording the tme even to the minute | with the great. pw-faced clock in the city hall tower.

He had heard by this time so many different opinions upon the condi- tion of the watch thathe was determined to Jearn, if possible, what did ail it. A few blocks down the street another jeweler was found. After several shakes he applied the watch to his left ear and listened attentively: “I think,” said he, with a shade of doubt in his voice, “that the main-spring is broken.” He then opened the inside ease and scrutinized, the works carefully res,” he continued, “the main-spring is evidentiy broken.

Blackemith—His Faildre to Do So. The San Francisco Post tells a good story of Wrestler Muldoon. Charley Duane, Senator McCarthy, Jim Brizel, John Gilbert, the come- dian, and other jokers kept talking to Muldoon about a blacksmith named McFadden, who, they claimed, had originated a peculiar manner of bracing his feet so as to render his being thrown an fmpoesibility. Thechampion blandly explained to the boys that any such foothold was out of the question, and illustratéd the fact that no matter how big and heavy a wrestler mat be, he was liable to be lifted clear off his feet. “‘ That’s all very well, Mul,” said Duane, shak- ing his head solemnly, “but you hayen't tried this man McFadden yet. I'd like to bet a bas- ket of champagne for the crowd that you can’t budge him The bet was accepted, and in an hour or two one of the plotters rushed in and informed the crowd that McFadden was in the saloon just opposite, and was willing to wrestle off-hand. “That's the man, is it?” asked Muldoon, grimly, as they entered the saloon and discov- ered a short, thick-set individual standing in the middie of the floor. with his feet braced about two feet apart and with a do-or-die ex- Pression on his face. ** Well, I'll just make it two baskets that I tlop him in three minutes by the clock.” “Done!” shouted the crowd, and, catching a favorite grip on the blacksmith, Muldoon gave a little preliminary tussle and a tremendous side wrench that would have uprooted a lamp-post. But the other man didn’t budge. There was a roar from all hands, and the champion backed off from his oppenent, and looked at him with-an astonished expression that was as good as a play. “Well, I'll be —, he biowed!” he muttered, and taking off his coat and vest he rolied up his sleeves with an expression tiat meant a cold day and a slippery evening for the other man. Quick as lightning he caught his favorite necklock on the blacksmith, and, twisting his shoulders under the little man’s chin. gave a heave that would have sent an ordinary man through the ceiling. But the other man neyer budged. Atter some frightful efforts Muldoon dropped his hold with a seared expression. and, stagger- ing over to a chair, wiped his fac “Boys,” said the athlete, bus! “this let me out. My heart’s broke. VI never wresiie any more.” And amid the “joshing” of his friends he led the party back to his quarters and set up to the wine. While the crowd was pouring down the Roederer, and grinning at each other like hyenas digging up a missionary, the bulldozed champion stepped out to see What had become of the blacksmith. Ashe entered one door of the saloon he saw his opponent walking out of the other in his stocking feet.

He had_ his ne to eat, and to sleep, and to pray, and to nd to read the Bible.and his time to work, and he never neglected the regular program. Old maun White couldn't sing, but he thought he could, and he considered it as much a duty asto pray. He was always in lis seat at the church. He was a heavy man, but he waddled up the hill tothe meeting house with alacrity, and took his seat like he meant business, and he did mean bosiness. He said amen and amen all through the preacher's prayer, and then he opened his hymn book with eagerness and stood up in front of the choir and sang from away down. He tried to follow bat was sure to get a little ahead, for he enjoyed it and wanted to do more than hisshare. The rest did their best to smother him, but they couldn't. His bellows was strong and blew loud. His kind of singing wouldn't have been tolerated trom any other man. for he was always a little Op ora little down. and he tapered off. His voice was a good deal below bass, and came up like there was a cog-wheel in his throat. But crenuody that knew the old man enjoyed his singing, for it seemed to do him so much good, and at times when the words were very tender the old man would say ‘‘Amen” at the end of the stanza! Iremember that one time when Henry Gart- rell and George Stovall were leading music the old maun turned two leayes in his hymn book and got from long into short meter, and the words didn’t fit the music. There wasn't enongh of them, and the old maun shook his head and gave a grunt and filled out with a couple of amens. He heard a titter behind him, and, looking round, muttered audibly, ‘Thar’s snimthin’ wrong about here.” ‘We ked him about it next day, and he laughed as aid, **Ah, well. you know that David said unto the Lord @ new song, and I deed it.

She didn’t know anything about the science of relizion or the evidences of christianity, and she didn’t want to know. It was enough for her that she loved her Maker and loved everybody, and her Maker loved her. Her faith was iron- clad; she lived in it and died in it.

She Is there, I reckon, and some of the children she taught are there, too, and they gave the old lady a welcome that was heaven enough for her. ———— A “Masher” Punished. From the Detroit Froe Press. Coming down the river from the flats the other day was a man abont fifty-five years old, neatly dressed, white plug hat, kid gloves, and appearing to be a real nice man. As he was alone some toox him for a widower; while others argued that he Lad been disappointed in love in his early days and had neyer married. But he was nice. He chuckled to the babies, patted boys and girls on the head, and sat right down among the ladies and related ull the In- ver So many of them said he was the nicest gentleman they ever saw, and one little woman who turned up her nose at the Idea of h's being too sweet for anything was promptly wilted by a score of gh When the boat arrived in Detroit the nice man with the white plag hit nad agreed to see a lady and two chiidrea over tothe Central depot.

Scientific Theories as to His Probable Fate When the Snow Flies, The approach of the frosts and chill winds of autumn opens up a new and promising feld for Sclentific obsetvation, says the Trenton Times. A few months agoa natural phenomenon ap- Peared in this part of the United States, of which there was no previous record in acientific works, and the development of which has been Watched with great interest, not alone by ‘selentific men, but by the general public as well. We refer, of course, to the dude, This novel species has existed and multiplied all summer, without let or hinderance, and at Present is prevailing to an alarming extent in Various parts of the country. It has shown an ability to withstand the heat without serious detriment or inconvenience, but as to the effect upon it of trosts and snow we can as yet only surmise. Some scientists of admitted ability assert that the uude is constitutionally unable to endure the cold, and that at the first frost it will be blighted and die, Just as do all other fresh and green things. To the casual reader this argu- ment undoubtedly presents an extremely plausi- ble appearance. It is, however, vigorously combated by experts in another branch of scientific research, who hold_to the theory that nothing is created except for some end. Ar- guing from this basis, they maintain that, as the dude has as yet served no purpose in the world, its development must therefore be incomplete, and, in accordance with the law of nature, must be continued until the object for which it exists becomes manifest. It is also urgea by this fac tion of the scientists that all animate nature, including the invertebrates—of which the dude is undoubtedly a variety—are endowed with the means of perpetuating their species. It is im- possible to suppose that the dude isan excep- tion to this rule, and it is therefore absurd to assert that the dude will be utterly wiped out of existence by the coming frosts. ‘The supporiers of this theory maintain that, as cold weather approaches the dude will de- velop new characteristics which will fit it to en:lure uninjured the changed ciimate. Whether this protective development will take the form of a coat of fur, or whether some other and more novel natural growth will afford the requisite warmth the advocates of this idea do not specify. but they are confident that the wind is tempered, not only to the shorn lamb, but to the dude, who has nothing of which to | be shorn. Why may not the dude escape the effects of winter by hibernating, after the manner of the toad, the snake. the bear and other members of the animal kingdom. The active brains of many varieties of the above animals must make it difficult for them to maintain their long winter sleep, and yet they are known to do it successfully every year. The Gude would be troubled by no such cerebral activi would, we think, have no difficulty in going to sleep with the first frost and not awakening until warm weather comes again. Indian Doctors. Dr. G. Archie Stockwell in Independent. ‘There is a widespread belief, byno means von- finéd to the vulgar, that the Indian is pret: naturally wise in all that pertains to the surgi- cal and healing art; that he is endowed with inherent knowledge, whereby he recognizes the virtue and remedial value of every native plant, tree or shrub, while his pathological intorma- tion, untrammeled by anatomical and_physio- logical relations, exceeds the developments of centuries of scientific research. The real mira- cle, however, is how so utterly silly and ‘absurd an idea ever gained credence, or how it to-day secures supporters among the clergy and mem- bers of the bar, even those who delight to dis- play the D. D., LL. D., Ph. D., ete., since there is not the slightest foundation therefor, either in analogy or fact. The savaze recognizes no influences, even in the most common ard simplest affairs of life, that are not the direct product ot ' the supernatural. He has no conception of the relations of cause and effect ; physiolozical and pathological con- ditions and applications are beyond the utmost scope of his reasoning; and when he does re- sort to the use of drugs, herbal or mineral, which is but rarely, it is not with a view of ob- taining any remedial action, but solely for their supposed influence, propitiatory or obnoxious as the case may be, upon the spirit or spirits whose presence is the embodiment of the disorder. The ‘medicine man” even 1s ignorant of any virtue in drags beyond these, except, perhaps, ashe may be influenced by civilized associa- tions; and the world is indebted for its primary knowledge of indigenous growths, not to the savage, but to the accidental empirical experi- ments of his white associates, more particularly the Jesuit missionarjgs, all of whom possess more or less botanical edacation alung witha smattering of therapeutics. It is from them the Indian has derived, and not to whom he has imparted, the little that can be placed to his credit. The ‘Indian doctor” who perambulates our cities and villages preying upon the supersti- tions of civilization is seldom or never a “ medi- cine man.” but some shrewd, half-civilized knave, who has taken a leaf out of the white man’s book in an attempt to replenish his pockets. By an assumption of dignity entirely foreign to his real character, by imperturbable were, preternaturally wise ana stoical looks, ‘and a stern brevity of speech, the reasons tor which are obvious, he fools his credulous white admirers to the top of their bent. He is always @ drunken scoundrel, and one who at home secures nothing dut the scorn and contempt ot his race, not one of whom would accept thédog- wood bitters, tag-alder teas, prickly-asb stems, crow-berry bark decoctions, sumac infusions, mandrake physic and other nauseous com- pounds with which hé drenches his white dupes. Extensive knowledge of Indian “medicine” and acquaintance with savage character, places me in a position tospeak authoritatively in these matters; and I solemnly affirm to my readers that medicine and surgery, as understood in civilized communities, aré almost wholly un- known. Were I to relate the barbarities practiced for the heating even ot the simplest wounds, the bratalities entailed by a simple arrowhead puncture, the crueities and filthy and disgusting observances that prevail in the most ordinary of every-day matters where the heal- ing art is demanded, they would scarce be cred- ited; consequently in my narrations I will be forced to confine myself to the curious and superstitious. Scarification (hacking the limbs and the entire body with knives), the actual cautery (burning with red-hot irons or stones), and the hot vapor (steam) bath are among the simplest of surgical operations; for the most extrayagant ideas prevail regarding the most trifling disabilities. Think, tor in- stance, of the “inherent native skill” that caused all the soft parts of man’s throat to be torn out piecemeal by a pair of bullet molds in the hands of a medicine man simply because of a slight hacking cough arising from an elon- gated uvnla and relaxed palate. The object in view was not only to drive away the spirit, which had been done by conjuration, but to 80 mutilate the parts that it should find no lurking place on its return. Little wonder it caused the poor fellow’s death! But tne friends had the satisfaction of knowing he died in “able hands” and according to the ‘highest principle of (savage) medical art.” eres ‘The Queen Snubs the Duke of Marl- borough. ‘From the L-ndon World. When a Knight of the Garter dies it is the custom for his successor or representative to deliver up his insignia to the Queen at anau- lence which is specially granted for the pur- pose, while his state robes are sent to the Dean of Windsor, who takes them as his perquisite as Registrar of the Orders. These robes are never worn except at a chapter, and there has not been one since 1855, when the Inte Emperor Na- pole visited England, and a chapter was held by the Queen at Windsor Castle on the occasion of his investiture asa Knicht of the Blue Rib- bon.

New York Letter in Boston paper. When Capel first spoke here his delivery was marked by that infernal Anglicism which made Dickens s0 odious and boresome—namely, the rising Inflection at the end of every sentence. You always felt when hearing Dickensasthough you wanted to jump on him and pull him down to the terminal landing place which he persist- ently and offensively ayoided. I don’t think there was evera better illustration of how odious genius can be than was afforded in the readings of Mr. Dickens. At that time I ‘was employed on the Brooklyn Eagle, and slung my little pen as drainatic cri Of necessity, I saw Mr. Dickeng repeatedly, whom I fortunately met in private as weil asin public. He was business from the top of his bald head to the bottum of his foot. He was here tor one purpose—to make and keép the great American dollar. He wore himself out in the effort to recoup his for- tune. ‘That fie made a tremendous pile we all know. nd doubtless were very ¢1 I was, for one. But it Is my solemn conviction that he didn’t Spend during his entire stay here £100. He gave notling away, and his expenses were all defrayed, by the people who brought him over. Like’ all Englishmen of his grade, Dickens was a yery heavy drinker. going lecture brandy, and two bottles of champagne which were brought for the delectation of the reader, who, to be sure, asked one or two gentlemen Ishall_ never forget ito a little room Off Plymouth-church there to join in the ceremony. but his asking was a shallow farce, for while they did have an opportunity of touching glasses once, he aliowed | itto be clearly and distinctly understood that thé refreshments were there for him, and not for his friends. After drinking a good deal, Dickens became red in the face, and his reading, which was.bad at all times, degenerated into a peeeon of tl most tedious process. Mr. ‘Thackeray, after drinking, became talkative and genial and good- natured and pleasant, and showed himself an amiable old gentleman. Dickens didn’t. aditicult matter to get him into a heated and offensive discussion. Mar. Capel has a strong will and a quick tem- per, both of which are admirable adjuncts to a man of his mental and moral structure when ‘under, as in his case, perfect control. 1t would be absurd to suppose that half a dozen men of pronounced convictions would meet under any circumstances, Roweres pleasent, when discus- sion was the order of the evening, without rubbing some one’s feathers the wrong way now and then, and itis the management of one’s temper on occasions like that which tells the story of worldly wisdom. After several hours of dining and wining freely Mgr. Capel bore himself precisely as he did when riding in the cars. He was polite, sauve, genial, very ready with an acquiescent smile, perhaps a lit- tle too deferential, although that is the failing of all men of his class, conveying the impres- sion occasionally of bap ets to conquer, al- though I believe the chief feather in his cap 1s that he conquers to stoop, or kneel, as you may see fit to put it. In treating of Cumberland, who claims to be amind reader, the monsizneur told some very interesting tacts about his own power. He insists that every man has this power of mind reading, and that every man utilizes it uncon- Sciously all the time. Of course, when one makes it a specialty and it becomes his trade, his practice is that of an expert. He illustrated his own power in that direction, by saying that with a friend, only the night before, he clasped the waist of another triend, their four hands making a band about the waist. and the friend put himself into a state of mental negation as far as possible, whereupon Capel and the other manipulator, having agreed upon a course of action, impressed it absolutely upon the quies- cent and receptive mind of their friend, who ina few moments did precisely what they willed him todo. ie described the feeling as rather cn- rions; that at first the knees began to shake, and it seemed as though there was a muscular relaxation through the entire body, which was followed by this curious obedience of the one will to the others. Capel seemed very much amazed, and almost indignant. that the Ameri- can public should yield any credence whatever to Cumberiaed as an exceptionally brilliant man, or one gitted with unusual powers, and a little jokingly said that, if it had been the custom in this country, as it 1s in his own, to write letters to the editor, he would have been strongly tempted to yield In order that he might put on paper his own convictions about Cumberland and the scheme generally, Sogo Everybody Has Seen Him.
