A KING’S AMERICAN FAVORITES. * The Wurtembergers Indignant at their Monarch’s Partiality for Foreigners. 4 Munich cable special to the New York Harald, dated October 26, says: A long article under the heading, “Ugly Revelations,” ap- peared Tuesday in the Neweste Nachrichter, of Munich. It deals with « peculiar state of af- fairs in Wurtemberg, though no names are mentioned. The high personage referred to can be no other than the king of Wurtemberg, whose eccentricities and friendship for several young Americans living in Stuttgart have given rise to very serious discontent among his subjecta. His majesty has squandered large sums of money on the strangérs. This and his mental condition are discussed among the le to such an extent that even the officers avoid the table d’hotes and other places where their sovereign is made the target of sharp criti- cism. Only the fact that the king’s malady, con- sumption, promises to put an end to his life before long, prevents the matter from being seriously agitated. What complicates the mat- ter is that the heir presumptive to the throne, Prince William, the "s nephew, has himself shown signs of peculiar mental condition. Like the king, he avoids showing himself in ublic, and devotes his time to a few chosen favorites. While the king’s marriage has never been blessed with children, Prince William, who has been twice married, has no children by his second wife and but a daughter by his first. On his death the throne reverts to the ducal house of Wurtemberg, the head of which isa field marshal lieutenant in the Austrian This bs ff the royal house is Roman ranch 0} 6 FO} jouse is Roma Catholic, and a ruler of that faith would scarcely be acceptable to the people, a large majority of whom are Protestants. The king's strong affection for an American dentist living in Stuttgart, was some years ago the subject of unkind comment by a number of German ne The dentist has since then been joine: yy acouple of young American rela- tives of bright intelligence and pleasing man- ners, These young men live in a magnificently furnished house presented to them by the king, and here he passes most of his time osten- sibly in the investigation of spiritualistic phe- nomena, The gifts of money to the young Americans have been so numerous and so great that the king’s exchequer has been depleted. Some of his ousehold are in arreafs of pay, and the annual visit to Nice had to be undertaken this year on a more modest footing. ‘The late king, the present king’s father, | lived to a green old age. He had an aged | maitresse en titre, to whom he was devoted and for whom he neglected his excellent and popu- wife. When he died the citizens very nearly mobbed the house of the old king’s inamorata, who received soon afterward a notice from the lice that she had better quit the country. he old ki: was noted for his fondness for King Charles’ spaniels, and was always accom- ied by two or three of his silken-eared pets laring his walks. A cablegram to the New York Herald of Sun- day from Nice, speaking of the presence of the king of Wurtemberg there, says: “It appears this anti-American feeling first arose at Stuttgart some eight years ago, when Mr. Jackson. of Chicago, then Amer- ican vice-consul, became his majesty’s privy councillor.” The other Americans who have have made their way into the good graces of the king are said to be a Mr. Woodcock, who now ¢ himself Dr. Woodcock, and a Mr. Hendry, both formerly of New York. The scable continues: “Mr. Woodcock left New York some years ago to do a little preach- in Canada. As Presbyterian pastor there he met Mr. Hendry, and both came to Euro} to turn their attention to more profitable business. Mr. Woodcock assumed the title of doctor, which he = he got at Heidelberg. He subsequently added Sav- age to his name, and with Hendry, got an introduction to the king of Wurtemberg. It aj to be true that two American gen- tlemen hold the ewhat novel ition of spritual advisers to%his majesty, and their ef- forts to soothe his troubled life by bringing the spirits of his departed royal ancestors into his presence to console him are only rivalled by the famous feats of the late D. D. Home in that | direction.” The immediate cause of the outbreak of in- dignation at Stuttgart seems to have been the announcement made last week that Mr. Wood- cock was henceforth to be Baron Lis and | court chamberlain. The papers revolted, and the prime minister protested. Naturally the promotion of Mr. Woodcock excited haa and indignation in the royal household. The title of c! berlain takes precedence of that of colonel, and an American thus passes at one step over the heads of the court officers who have been in his majesty's service twenty years. Speaking of the appearance of the king and his American friends at Nice, the Herald cor- respondent says: “This afternoon I saw Mr. ‘Woodcock and the king start for their daily drive. I put Mr. Woodcock first, because it was upon him that the king had to wait, and an outsider would naturally take him for the monarch and the monarch for his domestic. ‘They drove off behind a fine pair of horses in — style, cheek by jowl, for their daily con- ference on spiritual matters.” ni Long John and Paddy Ryan. AN INCIDENT OF THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN OF 1882 IN cHICAGo.

In the course of the day he struck a South Side voting-place, Rear State street—a precinct where toughs and thugs exercised the right of American citizen- ship.

John expecto- rated on his shirt bosom, looked around, and asked,**What for?” Then they had some words, In the midst of it all up stepped a dapper gen- tleman in a stylish light overcoat, a shining silk hat, and with a diamond pin flashing fire from his bosom. “Well, so you are going to at « head on the old man, are ye?” says this aten gins to the belligerent bh. “Now, I tell you, you won't do any such thing.” “Why not?”” “ "Cause if ye do ye'll have to put a = = me, and ye can't oe avane L ough?

A PRETTY PICTURE FRAMED BY THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTKL WINDOW. ‘The New York World, speaking of the presi- dential party in New York Saturday, says: Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom, and Secretary Whit- ney entered a carriage, while Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. Brice and Miss Brice occupied another. Mrs. Cleveland wore a garnet silk dress, a ma- roon-colored anda drab wrap. All the ladies were costumes befitting a somewhat somber if not dismal at- mosphere.

Zeb Ward, the famous Southerner, who has been warden of nearly every penitentiary in the South, was frequently taken for Gen. Grant. The resemblance between them was quite striking. About ten years ago Gen. Grant visited Little Rock, where Col. Ward lives, The general received a big reception, and people went there from hundreds of miles around to see him. It was arranged that the general should stand in the corridor of the statehouse and shake hands with the people ae they passed through. The general had been doing a good deal of shand-shaking for several days, and it did not take long for his arm to ive out. He complained of his trouble, and Sor Ward, hearing it, said: “General, just swap coats and hats with me and Ill been Sag) ema and these people will never know the difference.” The general did so and Colonel Zeb took his _— Colonel Zeb haa the grip of iron and e made many « fellow jump be and down while he shook his hand. ‘Colonel Zeb, who is anative Kentuckian, gave them the genuine grip of the state. In consequence the people agreed that General Grant was the best hand- shaker they had ever met. Colonel Ward was getting along splendidly in his impersonation of the “‘Old Commander” and had nearly com- pleted the job, when a big, strapping ay stepped up and proffered his hand.

A TERRIBLE BATTLE BETWEEN A WHALE AND & SWORDFISH AND THRASHER. Mr. George Roy, officer of the watch on board the Maggie C. Moore, is our authority, says the Victoria Standard, for the following remark- able incident which occurred on the morning of the 10th inst., about 700 miles northwest of Cape Flattery. He states that the attention of the crew was simultaneously directed or at- tracted to the existence of blood floating on the adjacent sea. Speculation was rife as to the immediate origin of so strange a spectacle, and a careful watch was kept to ascertain it. Eventually it was found that a whale was blowing and spouting on the lee side of the schooner, where the blood was first noticed, and a partial solution to the phenomenon was mined when a ewerdiok auited up close, and ‘ollowing that terror of the seas came the enemy of whaledom, the thrasher (or killer, as the fish is sometimes designated). The thrasher sprang from the water some ten feet into the air, and with a penetrating crash alighted upon the whale. A fierce conflict ensued, and the result was that the whale appeared to be exhausted from the attack the thrasher made upon him. Recovering himself, however, the whale, after several efforts, suc- ceeded in diving below and came up on the starboard side of the schooner. The crew then took their whaling iron and struck at the thrasher, but beg arctamegy > | did not hit on a vital part. The trasher, following the whale, made another savage attack on his victim, and hit for a second time within the sight of the crew. The whale appeared at this juncture be in extremities, and the swordfish, realizing the position, m: @ further attack at the com- mon enemy and stabbed the Jonah-swallowing monster. All was now over; oe whale’s re aaing strength was gone, and he was compelle succumb to his fate with the grace of a doubly assailed warrior of the deep. After death he floundered ‘‘topsy turvey,” and the thrasher was observed to be luxuriating on the choicest parts of the conquered dead. This is no myth- ical story of the sea, but an incident of pecu- liar interest to those who realize the hostility existing between the thrasher and the whale, and the characterestics of the swordfish. The latter knows no danger. He does not discern between a floating hull and a buoyant whale. His sword is bound to penetrate either at all hazzards and risks to himself, and in this re- spect he is similar to some misguided non- amphibious creatures. ee —_____ A Great Enemy of Life. From the New York Sun. There is a valuable discussion in the Medical Record respecting a disease which begins to be rife as the cold weather approaches, and which is one of the most prevalent and most danger- ous from which this community suffers. It is pneumonia, and the paper is by Dr. Gouver- neur M. Smith. Pneumonia has become a dreadful enemy to human life in this climate. It is also a disease from which the mortality is increasing rather than diminishing. The deaths from it in this city last year were 3,707, and in 1886 they reached 3,657. Dr. Smith does not give the number of cases of pneumonia reported, but merely says that the rate of mortality among them is high. The statistics of the Leman ge — show that there the ™ ity advanced from 6: — cent in 1847 to 1834 per cent in 18oT, and more than 81 per cent in 1866. In the New York Hospital the ratio of mortality daring the last ten years is a than, double what i yas in the past. or forty years ago the ‘was re- Geta but it did not at all excite terror which it now so reasonably awakens. Dr. Smiths’s statistics show that in New York pneumonia begins to be rife at the —- autumn, and that the deaths from it steadily increase from September until they crowd. The prize-fighter then saw Long John into his hack, and got him away from the polls. Farther than this, he jumped into a hansom himself and followed John up to see him safe and clear from Morris E. Ward, formerly of the press of this city, but now agent of a paper car wheel con- cern on the Hudson, is charitable, gallant, and absent minded. He has a poor relative up the country to he sends all his clothes, There are many ladies in the city to whom he sends invi- tations for the theater. ‘The other day he wrote to his relation: Blog get ns last pair of pante but one; they jg es at you can let them out turn em LA reach their maximum in January.

During th Se) seme horscetnt Tae gah Sotiyome ough the medical art advanced so tly of recent years in many directions, . Smith confesses that ‘‘so far as pneumonia is concern science has shrivelled;” and he seems to that this is because the old methods of treating the disease, at the time when it was less deadly, have been abandoned for methods more finical, but less efficacious. However that may be, the fact remains that a malady once ary alarm, has now become a veritable scourge in our climate, and is deadly far beyond other diseases to which we are commonly subjected.

From the Chicago Herald. Jennie Fullerton, daughter of John Fuller- ton, of Columbus city, who lives across the river, created a sensation Thursday by attempt- ing to elope ina rather novel way. Jennie is | about sixteen, and yearned for the company of acertain young man. She politely asked him | last Sunday if he would run away with her. He | said he would be delighted to do so. So the | damsel began to make preparations for the flight. She had an eye to business, and first loaded a bedstead into his father's big wagon. ‘The necessary bedtick and clothing were then bundled up. Next came plates, knives and forks, cups and saucers for two, a pot, teaket- | tle, a'can of coal oil, half a bushel of potatoes, and many other things necessary to start house- through the air | | the basket at that terrible altitude with the jAt brid provi when fully one-half of the de- keeping. When the articles had all been care- fully packed Jennie, attired in her best Sunda; dress, hitched up her father’s team and starte: to run away. She left the paternal roof about 8o’clock in the morning. The lover's nerve failed him at the last moment, and he did not meet her “‘south of town” as agreed. Jennie, | nevertheless, pluckily drove on, and it was not until late in the afternoon that ‘her father cap- tured her. The caravan returned to the city | just at dust, and Jennie vows she will select a | lover with more nerve the next time. sib The Beecher Statue. THE WORK WHICH IS TO ADORN BROOKLYN'S BIG PARK. The chief work now in progress at the studio in New York of J. Q. A. Ward, the sculptor, is for the memorial to Henry Ward Beecher, which the citizens of Brooklyn are to erect in | Prospect Park at acost of €35,000. It will be | completed in about two years and will stand | across the drive in front of the terrace by the children’s playground. The statue of Mr. Beecher, which is to be cast in bronze, the New York Herald says, is now well under way in clay. It will stand on a granite pedestal designed by Richard M. Hunt, the architect. At either side of the pedestal there will be figures of bronze. On the left will be a young colored woman reaching up to the plinth to lay a palm leaf at the feet of the great friend of her race. On the right will the figures of two white children, one of whom endeavors to place flowers on the linth. The colored girl will rest one knee on e lower of the pedestal and reach up with her right hand. The statue of Mr. Beecher is of heroic size and about eight feet six inches high. It will show him standing bareheaded, hol a familiar soft felt hat by his side in his right hand, He wears his usual cape over- coat unbuttoned, disclosing the coat and vest underneath. A plain cravat, knotted, is worn under the broad turn-down collar. Mr. Beech- er’s left hand falls by his side, and he looks slightly up, ahead and a little to the right. His feet are planted well apart and the right one is slightly advanced. oo ‘Women’s Mysterious Ways. IT OCCURBED TO MR. LEEZER THAT CHAMOMILLA WAS DECISIVE. From the Chicago Tribune.
