YOUNG MR. RANIHAN'S ECCENTRICITIES—AN- NOUNCING HIS WEDDING WITHOUT SECURING A BRIDE, From the New York Times. Some people eat strawberry shortcake with a fork, others prefer a spoon. John Ranihan paralyzed 200 people in the Astor House res- taurant a few days ago by_returning to first principles and using bis fingers, Herman Fox, a lawyer, of No. 335 Broadway, and Maurice J. Joyce, who were eating lunch with Mr. Rani- han, tried to look unconscious of the stares and glares leveled in their direction, and failed ignominiously. Mr. Ranihan didn’t try todo anything of the kind, and succeeded beautl- fully. Having hoisted the last strawberry into his rather cavernous mouth Mr. Ranihan, who has, or rather once had, more money than he knew what to do with, wiped his bands on the tablecloth, and rose with the dignity of a man who has had enough and knows when to stop, Mr. Ranthan lives at No, 7 jeasant avenue, he object of his dreams, Miss Joyce, resides at No. 72 Monroe s is the bandsomest girl in the seventh wa has been told so often enough to feel secure of her position. Mr. Ranihan’s father died a year ago last August. “He was acartman. He went one better than the man who made ha the sun shone and it while it Henry he di had never risen to the dignity ofdriving a horse and cart simply because it never occurred to him to labor while he was fed and clothed in idleness, The elder Ranihan had some relatives, but never recognized them, excepting a nephew, James Ranihan, of No. 95 Madison street. The relatives, on their part, had never paid any at- tention to John Ranthan while his father lived, but cultivated his attention as soon as it was worth while. About three months ago Ranihan emerged irom obscurity and electrified those who knew him by renting an office from the Marvin Safe company. It was well known that he had as much aptitude for business as a horse has for ladder climbing. He quickly demon- strated this by ordering a safe from the Marvin company that would scarcely fit in his office. He also paid a year’s rent in advance. Egged on by boon companions who had attached themsel to him,he mortgaged his Henry street house for $4,000 to the Emigrant Savings bank, and hi Madison street house for $7,000 to the Farmers’ Loan and Trustcompany. ’He opened an ac- count with the Nassau bank, He became ad- dicted to driving a dog cart ‘and persevered in spite of being “pitched over the dashboard and tailboard on two separate occations. Two months ago he called upon Thomas Joyce & Son, carpenters and contractors, of Nos. 39 and 41 Henry street, and who lived at 72 Monroe street. Thomas Joyce and Rai han’s father had been lifelong friends, and when Ranihan’s houses needed repairs Thamas Joyce made them, Ranihan said he desired to im- prove his Madison street house. He wanted it altered to Fitth avenue style. fis orders were so lavish, not to say idiotic, that Joyce & Son refused to fill them. They made the necessary repairsand then left the premises. Ranihan spent $1,600 on the house before Maurice Joyce induced him to stop. Soon after he presented Maurice Joyee with a diamond ring, Three days after Ranihan modestly requested that the ring should be turned over to Miss Joyee. She exuinined the ring and returned it to her brother, She didn’t want Mr. Ranihan’s ring, she said, or Mr. Ranihan either, A few days later Ranihan brought a di shawl pin to the carpenter’s shop, quickly followed by a gold wateh and | a gold necklace which cost $180 and a diamond cross which cost $250, In all he bought. about $1,000 worth of jewelry. It was put in the safe of Joyce & Son., and so was a big wedding ring, st purchase of nihan. ‘The Joyce didn’t know what to make of it when a number of carriages drove up to the door on Fri- day night. ‘They had been hired by “Mr. Ranihan, who told the drivers that he was to be married to Miss Joyee. He bought a suit of slothes to be married in,and went quietly home when told by Maurice Joyce not to be making a fool of himself. He went home and yesterday rning: he appeared at the office Herman Fox, No. 335 Broad He was accompanied Michael Hannan, who lived with him, and by James Shea, whois married to Hannan’s daughter, and wholives with Ranihan also, Mr. Fox is the attorney of Joyce € Son, and has also acted for Ranihan. The latter took a chair and waited for some one to to him, Lawyer Fox didso. He asked I an if he had come fora settlement.

Why Cards, Circulars and the Like are Failures as Advertising Mediums, From the New York Commercial Bulletin. Within the last few years it has become the fashion with some people to do their advertis~ ing in their own private way, instead of through the newspapers. Some distribute cards, some circulars, some pamphlets, some even almanacs, and some inconceivable mon- strosities of oddity, cireulating them by the hundreds of thousands through the mails. The printer's art has been taxed to the utmost to gratify the tastes of these advertisers. Some of the finest as well as the basest_ specimens of the art of engraving, of chromo-lithographing, and of colored printing are being produced for these purposes, and every conceivable style of faney paper 1s brought into requisition. The advertisers vie with cach other in the elegance of their design and the costliness of their de- vices, taking it for granted that the receivers will conform their estimates of the status of the advertiser to the artistic pretensions of his ad- vertisement. Some people mnay regret that the noble art of printing, at the period of its ish est achievements, should be subjected to such debasing ut, to these who thus employ the art, {t shi a that the debasement so coinpletely tails of the object for which it is intended.

The prince of planets had never worn quite so gorgeous a decoration before.

Before his election to the Vice Presidency he used to cat most of his midday luncheons in a down town chop bouse of the London sort; and since bis re- turn to private citizenship I have seen him several times over his steak or chop and bass in the same old place. Arthur has not yet ap- ae in court in resumption of his law practice, but he js regularly in the offices of his firm, and the understandiog is that his services are in fair demand. Having been the collector of the port, and therefore familiar with the laws and Usages of the custom house, he expects to strike right into remunerative cases {involving impor- ters’ troubles. ‘That there was a difference of deserved was proved by the fact that up to within a few days of the issue of a circular an- nouneing the co-partnership the other members declared positively that he would not re-enter the concern.

MR. JOHN SQUIRES RELATES A LITTLE INCI- DENT THE LIFE OF JAMES JACKSON, From the Cheyenne Leader, John Squires, who comes direct from the Little Laramie river, about 150 miles from this city, tells this story: Two weeks ago last Satur- day James Jackson started out to cut some wood for his ranch, and took with him a double-b anand afew pounds of ammunition, expecting to obtain a number of ducks and geese. When ashort distance from his cabin he saw a couple of large birds perched upon a rock, ook aim and fired at birds, but what a roar of m from the y of the ountain lion was pawing the and licking with its tongue gaping nds in its shoulders and side.

Then he placed a fresh cartridge In his gun and fired two shots in rapid succession at the beast. The animal was not Killed, but tore the earth and rocks with Its paws ina fearful manner, and roared with pain, as a number of shot had hit the beast. Jackson now became excited, and determined to have the beast at all hazards, so faced the last two cartridges in his gun and n took aim at the beast, and suceceded in imbedding in {ts hide a large number of shot. This was the turning point in the commenced hostilities. The lioa sat upon its haunehes, dat the assailant for atew seconds, then haroaritstarted for Jackson, making the scks and dust tly as it approached. Jackson started to run, but seeing he was a overtaken, tured around, grasped t of his gun’ with both hands and awaited the approach of the now ferocious brute.

Herat. A TYPICAL OASIS—A CITY WHICH HAS BEEN A RUIN FOR CENTURIES, Herat is in truth, for a variety of reasons, a place of unusual importance, and among them are the agricultural, commercial, ethnie and strategic advantages possessed by it, said M, Vambery in his paper read in Exeter hall re- cently, While I was still in the desert with my companions, in the north of the Parapamixus mountains, they were never tired of repeating to me: “Have but patience. We are nearing the blessed land; we are going to Herat. There the bread is whiter than the moon, the water sweeter than sugar, You can get there a pot of cream for a farthing, the roast lamb is delicl- ously savory, and the’ most exquisite varieties of frait can be got fora mere trifle.” I arrived in Herat during the autumn, just after the city had passed through a siege of three years. The entire place was a shocking heap of ruins, the environs had been despoiled of the trees, and yet, for all that, when I ventured into the’ more secluded’ valleys, and saw and tasted of the rich” Variety of the products to be found there, I could not help marveling at the wonderfal productive- ness of the soil. I discovered that the state- ments of the geographers of antiquity were by no means exaggerated, and that the glowing accounts of my fellow-travelers were strictly true, ‘The soil of Herat is of incredible fertility, and, with the exception of the cultivated oasis In the territory of Zerefshan, there is not another spot in the whole of the Asiatic world between Siberia and India which could vie for produc- tiveness with those valleys of the Paropamisus. ‘The Wheat ripeng in June; and ranks in quallty with the so-called Jerusalem wheat of Khiva.

They not only have enongh for themselves, “but they arg also, supplying the surrounding country. ‘Thus has the rice of Herat always beenone of the chief articles of food of the Turkomans of Merv and the Hezares in the east, while the fabrics of Herat, Such as carpets, furs and diferent varieties of leather, were being exported by them far and wide. {must make here particular mention of the fact that not only in my time, or during this and the preceeding century,has Herat been a ruin; but ever since the decline of the Tim-. urides’ Herat became the bone of contention among the Persians, Afghans, Usbegs, Tureo- mans and Hezares. ' Peace but rarely dwelt in its precinets, and yet a few years of rest would usually suffice to heal the wounds inflicted upon‘it, and to restore this fertile oasis to its former splendor. ——___+e+0______ ‘What Alarmed the Husband, From the Christian at Work. ‘There was one married man got scared the other night.
