Swanson Music Co Sonsiliac iy UNIQUE IN POLITICAL LIFE. Tho Many-Sided Chnracter of Count Tanfle, Austrinn Diplomat. Count Taafle, or to give him his Irish title, Viscount Edward Taaffe of Corren and Baron of Ballymote, who, since Feb- ruary, 1879, has combined the twoap- pointments of minister president and minister of the interior in Austria, is one of those rare publie personages who cannot well be brought under any one category. He stands alone in polities as Jean Paul Richter did in literature. There are more aspects to his life and work than there are sides and angles to a cube. One of the most important of these aspects is his social talent—the source of that abundant oil supply which he keeps pouring upon the troubled sea of Austrian politics. Count Taaffe has only to open his mouth and his hearers are enchanted. e is past master in all the little arts d'agrement, so prized in courtiers and diplomatists as serving to lubricate the wheels of the social ma- chinery of the court. He can story with a gusto which Lever himself might have and can invent one with the ease of an ancient mariner. His sito sense of the ridiculous, t fancy and ready w Irish as his name. Many s who see him only in Parliament take him for a Hiberno-Austrian Ag- niben, so bland, seH-possessed and serene does he appear in the face of difficulties that would drive any other statesman to desperation. No better statesman could have been chosen to inaugurate a policy of conciliation. He possessed numerous points of con- tact with all parties and had definitely broken with none. Political principles Count Taaffe condemns as a weakness, and his friends and his enemies are at one in declaring him frec from any stain which the possession of them might bo supposed to imply. Count Taaffe i a clover, practical psychologist of the most pessimistic type, who takes an in- credibly low view of human virtue, which “he is continually tempting into crooksd ways and he seldom discovers any ground to ques- tion the corvectness of his theory or doubt the inability of his rules. He never poses as a ccnsor of morals—only as an apprai He affcets and probably feels surprised at nothing. Asa public speaker he is one of th most dismal failures that ever addr. an audience, but his suasive powers when brought to bear on a limited cir of hearvers are of the miraculous kind attributed by Irishmen to Cormack Mec- Carthy, the lord of the blarney stone. i G s Scot ahd's Sword of State. The belt of the sword of state of Scot- land has been restored to its place in the regalia of Scotland in Edinburgh castle by the Marquis of Breadalbane, the lord high commissioner to the gen- eral assembly of the Church of Scotland. After the battle of Dunbar it became necessary to place the regalia of Scot- land ina place of greater safety than Edinburgh castle, and it was removed to the stro le of Dunnottar, where Sir G. Ogilvy defended it. Ee had, how- over, only forty men and could not hold out, and he allowed his wife to remove the regalia from the castle. It was then buried underneath the stones in Kinneff church, where it lay for several years. When it was restored Sir G. Ogilvy, for some cause not explained, retained the sword belt. It was discovered in 1790 built into the garden wall of the house of Barras, near Stonchaven, and since then it had been handed down from from father to son as a precious relic, An Experfment in Telepathy. An experiment in “‘telepathy,” which is oxtremely interesting and would fur- nish a great deal of amusement at an evening entertainment, may easily be tried by a number of persons, One of the party 1s blindfolded and the others form a cirele around him, in which all stand with their hands joined, A card rom o pack and placed where y plainly be scen by all but the pe son blindfolded. He is expected to main- tain a perfectly passive state, while the attention of the others is fixed exclu- sively on the card. After a time the image of the object on the card is “sug- gested to the mind” and named. In one instance where this experiment was tried the ten of diamonds was the card selected, and the blindfolded person, being ignorant of the object decided upon, deseribed ten real diamonds that he eaw avranged as they would be upon the cu In blindfolding the light may be entirely shut out from the cyes by folding kid gloves into pads to lay over them, and then binding with a handker- chief. Man with lead of a Goose, The man with a goose’s head first ap- peared before the public at the famous “Gingerbread Fair,” erpool in 1872, He was 20 years of age at that time; had y round, and a nose eight inches in length, flat, and shaped ex- actly like the bill or beak of a goose. His neck was three times the length of that of an ordinary person, surmounted by & round flat head perfectly devoid of hair. * He seemed to have as much com- mon sense as that of the average coun- try boy of his age; learned yery fast, and, after giving up the show business be- came a photographer.

Holder objects to his visits aud last evening met Sherroy on the street and accused him of taking his wife and stepdaughter out yesterday. Shee- roy denied that he had seen them and after a few words passed, Holder says that Sherroy took hold of him and, calling him a vile name, threatened to kill him., At this Holder broke away and went to the police station to tile a complaint. Judge Fowler had gone home and the complaint could not be filed until morning. Holder says he don't propose to have any “sports, or dudes fooling around his wife and stepdaughter.” Sherroy is well known in local sporting circles as a pugilist who has fought several hard battles. He has fought about a dozen prize tights in and around Omaha and usually succeeded in knocking out his man, od Brace of Suspects, Chief Seavey of Omaha telephoned down to Chiief Beckett yesterday morning that he hai two crooks m the Omaha lociup that might be the men who tried to work the lot- tery racket on old man Frickie.

How a Nervy Cowboy, Aided by IHis Pony, Killed n Grizzly. On Saturday last, says the San Fran- cisco ()lu'unicfu, George Kenison, who is in the employ of the cattle Gepartment of the Keru County Land company, was riding in the Coast Range mountains, near Carissa, looking after stock, when he came upon a grizzly bear. ‘When fivst scen the bear was sitting on it haunches. Kenison made for the bear and got it started down the guleh, He kept behind it until it came out on Carissa plains. Then he raced quickly up to it, fired a shot from his pistol in its back and while passing threw his lasso over its neck and then straightened out the rope. The horse was greatly frightened and took good care to keep the rope taut, but it was a long distance fight; as there was about sixty feet of rulle between the bear and the horse, Kenison kept his hoyse under perfect control. When the bear would clutch the riata he maneuvered with the horse to break the bear's hold. He cled around and around with good horseman- ship and perfect cooltiess, all the time keeping tho ropo ghiaround the bear's neck, and he actually ghoked the grizzly to death. 113 ¢ J. E. Hunter, who hanales the herds for the cattle department, saw the struggle from a distance and put his horse 10 its speed o, prder to give all the help his (power, but before he could reach the scene of combat the bear lay dead, and Kenisonhad conquered it single-handed, The “grizzly weighed 900 pounds. Kenison is a small man of slight frame and does not weighrover 130 pounds, but he bears the reputatioh of not knowing what fear is. His horse only weighs about 900 pounds. e CRADLE OF OCEAN WARRIORS, ards, Where Our Are Built.

It was late when Mr. Blobbs got up yesterday morning, says the Buffalo Express, and he hustled around his bedroom like a wild man. When it came time for him to put on his trousers he plunged into a wardrobe and pulled down all the garments that were on the hooks. Then he fell on his knees and pawed the pile over nervous He handled every garment twice and did not find what he wanted. He swore three separate and distinet oaths and then shouted “Mary!” There was no reply head out of the dos “Mary!” “What is it, dear?” asked some one at the rear end of the flat. “Come here, and get a move on, too!” Murs Blobbs came into the room.
