At first sight such an experiment looks like a revival of the now happily forgotten phrenolozy. (oer Mr. Davis’ Two Transactions in Hob- tail Consolidated, From the Financial News. In California, in the days of the Comstock ex- citement, when all kinds of wildcats were being floated on the market and rapidly bought by an indiscriminating public, a Mr. Davis bought a claim. This claim did not cost Mr. Da vis much, whatever it cost the public. and it was known by the name of the ‘Bobtail Consolidated.” The speculative Mr. D. organized a company and sold some of the stock. To a particular friend of his he sold a targe block of 10,000 shares at $1 per share. For some time the mine amonnted to nothing, and attera few 25-cent assessments had been levied the stock would really not have been cheap at a gift. F this reason Mr. Davis and the friend to whom he sold the 10,000 shares as a good thing were not on speaking terms. One day, however, utter and complete astonish- note. asking him to call at of Mr. Davis. He went, nitound Mr. Davis in bed.

No sooner had he left the room than Davis, suddenly recovering, jumped out of bed and did awar dance on the floor. Wiping the flour trom his face and taking the rag from off his throat, he remarked to a conéldant: ‘Well, I guess I had him that time?” “1 guess you did,” replied the confidant. ‘The folowing morning the news was biazoned forth In all directions that the ‘ Bobtail Con.” had struck the greatest body of ore ever seen on the Pacific coast, and the shares bounded up from 75 cents, the last assessment unpaid, to $7. ‘The last time Mr. Davis was seen he was living at the Hoffman House in New York, feasting on the fat of the land.

In a@ ground-floor room in one of the large public buildiazs of London a man sat writing at a table covered with papers. He wasa short, | strongly built figure, with a prominent nose, and a face hard and massive as a granite statue, wearing the set look peculiar to men who have surmounted great difficulties and confronted gteat perils. Few, indeed, had had more practice in both than this man, for he was no other than the Duke of Wellington, and his crowning vic- tory at Waterloo was still but a few years old. There was the tinkle of a bell outside, and then @ murmur of voices in the anteroom; but the duke never raised his head from his writing, even when his secretary entered and said: “If it Please your grace, that man with the bullet- proof breastulate has called again, and wishes | ¥ery much to sce your grace for a moment.” The duke’s face darkened, as well it might, for the man ia question was the most pertinacious bore whom he had ever en- countered. The bullet-proof cuirass own invention, and he never lost a chance of declaring that the safety of the whole British army depended upon its instant adoption ot this “unparalleled di " which he carried about with and exhibited at all times and at all places. Hud this been all he would soon have been disposed of; but, unluckily, he had con- trived to interest in his invention one or two of the duke's personal trien letters of recommendation which even Welling- Ton could not easily distezard. Something must cleariy be done, however; for although the fele low had hitherto been kept at bay, he was evi- dently determined to give the duke no peace till the matter had been fully gone into. For a mo- ment Wellington looked so grim that the secre- tary bezan to hope for the order which he would gladly have obeyed, viz., to kick the inventor into the street forthwith.” But the next instant s,and to get from them the very ghost of a smile, like a gleam of winter sunshine upon a precipice. “Show him in,” said he briefly.

The inventor unwrapped a very showy look- Ing cuirass of polished steel, and ‘was just be- ginning a long lecture upon its merits when the duke cut him short by asking: ‘Are you quite sure It is bullet-proof?” “Quite your grace.” “Put it on, then, and go and stand In that cor- ner.” ‘The other wonderingly obeyed. “Mr. Temple,” shouted Wellington to his sec- retary “ll the sentry outside to load with ball- cartridge, and come in here to test this cuirass. Quick. now!” But quick though the secretary was, the in- ventor was quicker still. The moment he real- ized that he had been set up there on purpose to be fired at and to be shot dead on the spot if his cuirass turned out to be not bullet-proof afterall, he leaped headlong through the open window with a yeil worthy ofa Blackfoot Indian, and jarting like a rocket across the court-yard, van- ished ‘through the outer gateway: nor did the Duke of Wellington, from that day forth ever see or hear of him again.

A broad-shouldered, compactly bullt young woman, with brown face and hard hands, sat in the Lake Shore depot last evening waiting for the departure of a train for the east. She had Just arrived in town from Dakota. “We don’t waste any time in foolishness out our way.” she said to a young man who seemed to be acquainted with her. ‘There isno love- making on my half section. It's nothing but No. 2 wheat from May to August. That's what we are out there for.

The Gartenlaube has an article on those clyil- ized nations a large portion of whose peasantry eat little or no bread. Baked loaves of bread are unknown in many parts of South Austria and Italy, and throughout the agricultural dis- tricts of Roumania. In the villages of the Ober- stelermark, not very many miles from Vienna, bread is never seen, the staple food of the peo- ple being sterz, a kind of porridge made trom ground beech-nuts, which is taken at breakfast with fish or curdled milk, at dinner with broth or fried lard and with milk again for supper. This sterz is also known as helden, and takes the place of bread, not only in the Stelermark, but in Carinthia and In many parts of the Tyrol. Tn the north of Italy the peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a porridge made of boiled maize. The polenta, however. is not allowed to granu- Jate, like Scotch porridge or Austrian sterz, but Is boiled into a golid pudding, which is cut up and portioned out with astring. It is eaten cold as often as it is hot, and it is in every sense the Itallan peasant's daily bread. The modern Roumanians are held by many scholars to be de- scended from a Roman colony—in other words, to be the cousins of the Italians, and, curiously were | enough, a variation of the polenta, called mam- formerly used by the young men and maidens of | aliga, ls the national dish of Roumania.

How Sebastian Heck Took the Hot Lash of the Sioux and Became a Sav- age in Name. From the Denver News, The pages of fiction scarcely contain so strange and thrilling a story as that narrated to a News | reporter last evening by Sebastian Beck. He is @ plain, honest-looking German, probably fifty years of age, and lays claim to being considera- ble of a linguist and capable of speaking seven languages in addition to Sioux Indian, wisich he speaks with great fluency, apparentiy. During nearly ten years Beck was a member of the Sioux tribe. His story of how he ran the gauntlet is thus told: “We did not know what fate awaited us. But we had searcely arrived at the Indian camp than we were given to understand that we would have to run the gauntlet. This con- sisted in running between two lines of braves, five hundred in each line, and takin blows that these could give us while the run, which was twice up and tw the line. The lines were just far enor to give us room to run,aline of guns being placed alons on each side, between us and the Indians, which couid not be cro: her us or the In¢ We were compelled to keep within this tine, and the Indians were not al- lowed to leave their could inflict all the punishment possible while we were within reach of each of them in turn. The Indians were armed with sticks, moccasins, and every thing that could be used to strike with of a nature that would inflict pain without doing great bodily injury, but chiefly witha kind of cat-o'-nine-tails used by the Indians in riding their ponies. This is a terrible weapon, | a larze number of strings, on the end « which isachunk of lead. There bumber of squaws in the lines in addition to the braves, who appeared to take as strony an in- terest in the matter as the latter. ‘We were stripped naked with the exception of breech-clouts which were given us. I was placed first in the line of twenty-five, the run being made by all together in single file. This was a decided advantage to me, as I could go as fast as L liked, not having to depend upon the speed of others. A friendly Indian, the one who had encouraged me at first, siznaled me, giving me to understand that I was to run as fast as I could. I did not need the ice after I got well started, but it served me until I got past the first dozen, as I started while they were chatting among themselves. But the of the way I got it, I tell you. I Just ran for dear life, taking the blows as they caine. I could not repress some exclamations of painas the whips cut into my flesh, but I managed to keep from f in the minds of the Indians ugh suifering terribly at every blow received.” “Did many of them miss yo “After the first dozen none that I know of. They laid op the blows as hard as they cout, but conformed strictly to their law, which is not to leave their place in the line to inflict turther punishment. “When I reached the end of the line the first time I was covered with blood and thorough! winded, being scarcely able to stand. We ms aged to get through with our lives, not one of the twenty-five falling or giving up. We were then admitted to membership in the tribe.” Beck is now trayeling among the Indians looking for his wife and children, whom he lost when captured years ago. abet beady The Fighting Parson of Texas, From the Galveston (Texas) News. Texas still has some pioneer preachers. Tne San Angela Standard reports briefly a sermon delivered last Sunday in that place by Andrew Jackson Potter, the fighting parson. Among other things he said: ‘I have preached out here on the frontier for the past sixteen years, and I have lived and supported a large family. I must say, though, I got most of my support from the cowboys. Years ago, where the town of Uvalde now stands, I have skipped from thicket to thicket In my endeavors to escape from the leaden bullets that were flying around in order to reach a little old log school-house where I could preach to a few women and childien. Now. look at Uvalde to-day, with its five fine churches, whose spires point heayenward.

He looked at the hat, shook his head, , I'd like to chip In, but I'm I got more money in that place than any L have been in. Holding services at a place one time I took up acollection for the support of missions. There was a poor old lady present, who [ noticed dropped a five-dollar gold piece in the hat. I knew she was very poor and not able to afford so much, and thought she had intended to throw in a quarter, but made a m take. So next day I met her husband and said to him: ‘Look here. your wife put a tive-dollar gold niece in the hat yesterday, I think she must have made a mistake.’ ‘No, no,’ he re- plied, ‘my wife didn’t make no mistake. She don’t fling often, but let me tell you when she flings she flings.’ ” Elen Remus, the Chimpanzee. From the New York Tribune, The young chimpanzee at Central park has been purchased and will remain a fixture here. He was brought here three months ago by his owner, John H. Smyth, minister to Liberia. Mr. Smyth brought the chimpanzee with him as a cabin passenger. He was a great pet in the minister's family. He left him in care of Mr. Conkling, superintendent of the Zoological de- partment at Central park, intending to cafl tor the monkey. Mr. Smyth’s plans having changed, he decided not to return with the chimpanzee and consented to give him to the city, receiving only his passage mone; 25, in exchange. The name Crowley, by which the little fellow has been known heretofore, was given him by his keeper, who had never heard his real name, Remus is now nearly twenty-one months old and has grown considerably since coming here. He Is to be moved into a new house, which will be built on the left of the monkey house. Mr. Conkling said recently that he would have a bedstead, with a mattress and blanket, a table and chairs, looking glass and wash bowl. His keeper will eat with him at noon. “The large chimpanzees at Antwerp,”sald Mr. Conkling, “sleep in a bed six feet long, set on chairs at the table and eat with their keeper, take thelr bottles of red wine with a relish and are yery human-like. Remus we expect to srow to be four feet and a halt high. It is difficult to keep them through the winter in this climate and 1 worry about Remus.” He Wanted the Medicine. From the Boston Globe.

The law was explained, and the customer re- joine : “Wal, I’m an invalid. Where can I find a doctor?” : “IT am a physician,” su: “You make it out, then,” said the invalid. This was done, the whisky put up, and de- livered with the gentle words: “A dollar and a half.” “Whuffor?” inquired the invalid. “A dollar for the prescription and fifty cents for the whisky.” “Wal, I guess I don't care for the ’scription; s'mother feller may want it.” said the invalid, as he threw down a half dollar and escaped. os Stopped the Train for a Wager. From the Chicago Herald. “Queer incidents?” echoed a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific conductor. “Yes, we have a few. We meet all sorts of people, you know, under all sorts of circumstances. Only last week a little thing occurred that made me so mad I wanted to kill somebody. We were run- ning out from Chicago, and were an hour be- hind time. I had orders to side-track at Seneca for an east-bound special, provided I could get there by such a minute. We were going fast to make it, when all of a sudden the engineer puiled up out in the country. I rushed out to see what the matter was, and we saw a farmer's boy afew rods down the track waving an old red shirt that he’d taken from a scarecrow in the field near by. I shouted to him to come up and tell us what was wrong. He sidled alon; bashfully, me all the time yelling to him to t. us why he had stopped the train.
