tion, but it is not generally known that he
is also an extensive fanner and a breeder
f f horses and entile. Xo man of his day
"has been mors successful than Mr. Seney
n tittitinK several btnall railroads into
one comprehensive system. In this kind
of manipulation he made a great fort
une, which he was enjoying in a very
unselfish way when the panic of 18S4
was precipitated by the famous failure of
Grant & Ward, and values of all kinds
were so depressed that Mr. Seney found
himself much embarrassed, and the Metro
politan bank, of which he was president,
was obliged for a little while to suspend
payments, and Inter to so into liquidation.
Mr Seney 's whole business career had been
iasd in the employ of this bank, which
2.e ontred as paying teller in 1547, when he
was 21 yearg old. After thirty years of
i-ervice he became the president. "When the
crisis came he turned over all his property
to hi creditors. Much of it consisted of
railroad secuntias too much depressed in
value to bring decent price. These were
kept, and when there was a revival o.'
tonfldence onough of thom were sold to
jay off all of his indebtedness, and leave
him a vory handsome fortune besides.
The sale of his pictures was notable, and
f Lowed that he had been not only a large
buyer of the best paintings, but that he
1 ad boon a careful and shrewd collector.
ihe pictures were sold at a time when busi-jjf-s
was dull and dopressod, but they in.
v tii iably brought good prices, and in nearly
rvery instance more than he had paid.
T;iis is vory uuuHual at a forced sale. At
nbout tho same time ho sold off all his
Lorseeand cattlu at bin large country place
ii Somerset county, in New Jersey. Hero
,reat sacriuees were made, as he had not
been a breeder Jong enough to have made
any extensive reputation for his trotting
liorses and Alderncy cattle. Ilis herd of
cows were scattered all around the neigh
borhood, and the sale has had the effect of
very materially improving the cattle of the
farmers in thas part of Xew Jersey.

A OnOtT OF HIS JERSKTS.
As soon as his affairs were mended Mr.
Bency began again to collect and to breed
(mother herd of Jerseys. At this time he
Ims a hundred head. The group shown in
tho picture gives a very good idea of these
jjmmetncal animals, which have largo
mid generous pasturage aud are stabled
5n buildings almost luxurious in their com
plete appointments. After seeing the cows
I very naturally wanted to look at the'r
rod not, and I was shown by tho very po
1 to Irishman who has charge of the herd
o the dairy. The cream was marvelous,
rid tho poor people pent in cities rarely
nave an opportunity of seeing such. How
many pounds of buttor is made in a day in
Mr Seney's dairy 1 can't begin to say, but
it is certainly a groat many. Tho butter
.s unquestionably delicious and taste-, of
t lie fmgrant clover upon which the cattle
froze. Of course he cannot consume all
i f this butUr in his family. The surplus
i . sold at fancy prices in Xew York.
Mr. Seney has just resumed tho breeding
f f trotting horses, and he is doing this now
i.i friendly rivalry with Mr. Frederick V.
Olcott, the president of the Central Trust
c liinpany, of Xew York. Mr. Olcott has
bought a few hundivd acres from Mr.
Vney, and erected a vory pretty house in
t lie colonial style of architecture on what
Is known in the neighborhood as Seney's
race track. Mr. Seney has three young
jinlliotst., all of fashionable blood. Talma
is by Epaulette out of Angeliuo Medium

the 3 oungstcrs, is also by Epaulette, and

'i ho third of the stallious is Adin by Bona
Fide, a son of old Hauiblatonian. Adiu's
d im is Young Xelly by Ashland's Patchon.
Mr. Seney has two brood mares by Kon
liivky Prince, and one of them has a colt
by Dictator Chief. The horses shown in
tho picture are two of Mr. Seney's road
horses, and they are very fast. Tho one on
the loft in the picture is Paul by Daniel

tuat part of Xew Jersey that the distance
does not seem aa-rly so great as it is to

The country people speak of the neigh

Mr. Olcott.
The location of the colony is high on the
hills some 700 feet above the sea and the
scenery is magnificent. From a neighbor

Any article about Mr. Seney would be
incomplete without some mention of his
liberal gifts to churches, hospitals and
schools. Mr. Seney's father, Robert Seney,
was a Methodist clergyman, and the son of
Joshua Scuey, who was a Maryland mem
ber of the Continental congress and a
presidential elector in the college which
chose Washington and Adams to bo the
first president and vice president of theo
United States. Mr. Seney may be said to
have been born in the Methodist church,
and he has been a most liberal contributor
to its charities. He was educated at the
Wesleyan univereit y, and he has endowed
several scholarbhip-s there. He gave also
$100,OJ0 to the Long Island Historical so
ciety. To the Methodist General hospital, of
Brooklyn, he has given 410,000, and to the
Wesleyan Female college at Macon, Ga.,
$250,000. He has spent 8100,000 in benevo
lent objects in Brooklyn, and $400,000 in a
general way in charity in various parts of
the country. This makes over a million
and a half of dollars that this one man has
given away, and this does not take into ac
count his contributions of pictures to the
galleries of the Metropolitan museum in
Central park in Xew York. We all know
the pleasure in giving, but few of us have
had the opportunity of experiencing the
sensation as Mr. Seney has of giving away
several hundred thousand dollars at a
time. I wonder, when in 18S4 he looked
grim bankruptcy in the face, whether he
even for a moment regretted the large
benefactions he had made in more prosper
ous time? I don't believe he over did.

A BRIGHT GEORGIA WOMAN.
Man do Annulet Andrews (Mrs. JosopH
OhI), of Tho Atlanta Constitution.
Special Correspondence.
Atlanta, Oct. 13. The most versatile,
piquant, independant woman journalist in
the south is Maude Annulet Andrews
(Mrs. Joseph K Ohl), of The Atlanta Cou
Etitution. Her husband is also a journal
ist, a young man of broad culture and
varied information, and one who will at
an carl day be known as one of the bright
est, most progressive young editors in the
land. Maudo Andrews, as she is known, al
though a thorough newspaper woman, is
very womanly in her tastes. She says:
'I uttorly detest the accepted idea of a
bluestocking, the woman buried in books
and careless of home and person. I lovo
pretty clothes, an attractive house, plenty
of pictures and flowers always every
thing in fact that appeals to the eye and
the mind of au artist; and I should have
been ;i painter if my love for writing had
not been the stronger bent. From my
school days I alwajs said I wanted to be a
regular journalist."
Her girlhood was hampered by many
crosses and deprivations, her days being
(.pent in Washington, Ga., where, although
the society is exceptionally refined and
intelligent, there was little to stimu
late a girl with such aspirations. Her iirst
poem wjls printed in The Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle when she was only 10 years of
age. Hor next, a real creation, "The Wind
and tho Lily," printed lirst in Tho Mont
gomery Advertiser, was widely copied.
She has written many poems of profound
feeling and tender grace, a great deal of
light and airy matter, both in prose and
verso, for Puck, Life and kindred papers,
and the brightest, raciest, most entertain
ing letters from Xew York city to the At
lanta Constitution that have over come to
a southern papr. She is now on the reg
ular staff of that paper, aud is the best "all
round" woman I know.
She is as ready to write an article on a
lxmutiful charity as she is to tell of phys
ical culture. She is as quick and unerring
in a critique on the latest book as she is
happy and graceful in her account of a
luncheon. She writes of dress, morals,
reforms, housekeeping, street waifs, soci
ety, everything that is worth writing
about and worth reading about, all with a
deftness, a clearness and a fearlessness pe
culiarly her own. Shi is sometimes dar
ing, discus-iing with freedom topics not
often toucued upon, but she always in
vests her subject with absorbing interest,
and stamps it with her originality. Her
poem "The Jester," printed in The Cent
tury, made a decided impression by its
grace and oldtime flavor. It was as pun
gent and sweet as a bunch of treasured
lavender or the scented grass so beloved of
the Creole housewives.
Mr. Ohl and her husband, or Mr. Ohl
and his wife how shall I put it" remind
one in their perfect harmony of lives and
occupations ("two hardworking bread
winners," as they call themselves) of the
happy union of the lovel, lamented Elea
nor Putnam and her talented husband,
Arlo Bates. Mrs. Ohl is a blooming, hand
some young woman, with a full, healthful
figure, a quick step, an alert manner and
very soft, loving eyes. She is, I firmly be
lieve, only trying her " 'prentice hand"
now on the haphazard work demanded
by a daily paper. She has done line work,
but there is better to come. Her ideals are
too high not to expect high results. She
says: "My time is too absorbed in this sort
of writing. I wish I could have time to
wait for inspiration, for I do believe in it,
and my view of any kind of art is almost
religion. Art is a God given blessing, and
it should be treated sacredly. I hate to hear
a writor confess that ho does his work only
for money. Xo one can do any sort of art
just for that and succeed. The desire for
success is itself an inspiration, but love is
the highast irjpiration for all things, and
lovo must lie at the toot of all labor to
give character and stroagth."

The 1 To of 3 Shedder Crab How He In
creases and Wins the Faror of Fisher
men and Epicures Where He is Canghfc.
Man and Fish Are His Enemies.
The sbedder crab is known to fishermen
equally well as an excellent bait and a
costly article of merchandise. The rest of
mankind is not so well acquainted with
him, yet he is a very interesting fellow.
All kinds of fish show a high appreciation
of his fine qualities, which goes a long way
toward proving that fish know more than
we are disposed to give them credit for.
Xor is the crab at all ignorant of the active
demand, for as soon as be reaches the shed-
der stage he seeks the strictest seclusion
which his surroundings grant.
The crab is the Beau Brummel of crusta
ceans, and indeed no living creature gives
so much time and attention to his wearing
'appareL Compared with him in this re
gard the extreraest dude leads a careless
and easy life. If he were a member of the
human family his tailor's bills would con
sume his entire earnings. All of this may
sound ridiculous, but it is seriously said,
for the metamorphoses of the crab are ex
traordinary. From the time he leaves the egg till he
arrives at maturity he passes through more
and more frequent transformations than
probably any other member of the animal
kingdom. In his infancy he is so unlike
himself that for centuries he was mistaken
for a nondescript, and it was not much
more than fifty years ago that his identity
was even suspected.
HOW HE LOOKS.
The female crab carries her eggs, thou
sands, probably hundreds of thousands, in
number, in a great semi-spherical bunch
under her belly until they are hatched.
From that time the young crab has to look
out for himself, and that he is moderately
successful in this regard is attested by his
presence in vast numbers along our shores
from Maine to Texas. On emerging from
the egg he looks somewhat like an impos
sible combination of those omnipresent
products of Xew Jersey, the flea and tho
mosquito, or, to speak more definitely, he
has a flat, irregular shaped body, with a
long proboscis, a longer tail, long swim
ming appendages, with spine covered, toe
like branches at tho ends, and proportion
ally enormous eyes, not attached to stalks
as in later life, but fixed fiat upon tho
head.
All of these peculiarities are compressed
within a minute fraction of an inch. In
this stage he swims around mostly at the
surface of the water, and was for a long
time called zoea, for want of a better name
and position in the animal kingdom. Like
the nicknames of human infants, it has
stuck to him, and his infuncy is still called
tho zoea stage.
But this is not nil. In his early youth he
was tho victim of another zoological mis
take. Having shed his skin a few times he
has increased in size, his eyes have appear
ed on stalks, legs like those of shrimps
have been developed, and nippers have been
added to the pair of front legs, but his
family likeness is still undiscovcrable, and
he was therefore regarded as a distinct and
solitary genus, aud therefore called
megalops.
HIS fiAPID GROWTH.
This, in which the tail and proboscis
have nearly if not entirely disappeared, is
even now called the megalops stage. After
more shedding of his skin nud further
growth he finally appears as a miniature
crab about an eighth of an Inch long.
Being ready to begiu business as a crab he
abandons swimming as a profession and
takes to the bottom, goes foraging along
the shores, or attaches himself on floating
seaweed.
The crab literally grows by shedding. As
fast as his garments become too small foe
him ho casts them off and appears in a
larger suit. He is familiar to salt water
fishermen in all sizes, from that of a tack
head to a silver dollar, but how often he
sheds his shell in these early stages of his
growth is not definitely known. It must,
however, be very frequently, for even after
ho has reached the edible size he sheds
once a month. Men who make a business
of hunting him say that his time of shed
ding is the full of the moon. After he at
tains his full growth he ce:ises to shed, and
indications are not wanting that he reaches
a ripe old ngt, as specimens have been
taken with full grown barnacles and oys
ters attached to their shells, showing that
they had been wandering about the deep
for some years at least.
When a crab is about to shed his shell he
seeks shallow water, and secretes himself
iu the roots of thegrnssesor under bunches
of sedge, so as to be as much as possible
out of the way of the fish, which, as before
intimated, are very fond of him nt that
stage, and know when and where to look
for him. The striped bass and other large
I fish taken along tho margins of bays, rivers
and creeks are there, looking for shedder
and soft crabs. Sharks are also very fond
of them. One day tho writer saw a shark
at least ten feet long carefully searching a
mud Hat in Uarnegat Bay for crabs. There
was very little water on the flat, and the
dors.il and caudal fins of the big fish were
both several inches above water.
HOW HE SHEDS.
Fishermen have coined a number of ex
pressive names for the different stages
through which the crab passes iu shedding
his shell. A "comer" is a crab in the first
stage, when a new shell is a mere filament
or thin membrane under the old. In the
"shedder" stage the new skin is a thick,
soft, elastic envelope to which the old
ehell has ceased to adhere, and from which
it separates readily, even on the claws and
feet. When ready to shed the old shell
separates nearly all round the body nt the
base of tho legs, and the crab withdraws
itself.
The shells of the claws and legs are not
broken or cracked, hut the new skin "is so
soft and yielding, and the muscles in such
a flaccid condition, that the limbs are
drawn through the small openings at the
joints much as a sack nearly tilled with
some fluid may be drawn through an open
ing much smaller than the sack itself."
When he is ready it takes the crab only
about fie minutes to get out of his old
shell. Then he is the "soft shell" crab, so
suitable for frying and so dear to the pal
ate of the epicure.
It Is not generally known that the shed
der is even superior as an edible to the soft
shell. He is then in his finest condition,
bavinc fattened himself to the highest
point for the purposes of subsistence while
his new shell is too tender to admit loco
motion or the catching and eating of prey.
After boiling his old shell is eaaily ve
moved.even from his l-gs,and his internal
anatomy, and be is fit to be eaten as he
stands or fried in batter. ilew York

In the usa of food the Americans are
lavish and even wasteful. In calling at
tention to this fact J. R. Dodge states that
Great Britain consumes an average meat
ration not over two-thirds as large as the
American; France scarcely half as large;
and Germany, Austria and Italy still less.
The average consumption of meat in the
I'nited States is probably not less than
175 pounds per annum. Of other civilized
nations only Great Britain exceeds 100,
and many scarcely average fifty pounds.
The consumption of the cereals in this
country by man and beast is three times
ns much in proportion to population as in
Europe.
For the past ten years the average has
been forty-five bushels for each unit of
population, while the usual Europoan con
sumption does not greatly vary from six
teen bushels per annum. While all this is
not usetf. as food for man, no small part of
it contributes to the meat supply. In tho
consumption of fruits the difference be
tween tlis and other countries is marked.
Small fisits, orchard fruits of all kinds,
and trrical fruits, as well as melons of
many varieties, are in profuse and univer
sal daily use in cities and towns, and in tho
country the kinds locally cultivated aro
Btill cheaper and more abundant. The
consumption of vegetables is not excessive.

lluir.ilo Bill and Parliament Members.
A story which is told about a prominent
politician of Illinois shows what social at
tentions were heaped on Col. Cody when
he was in London. The gentleman from
Illinois was in London, nnd went to call on
Mr. Phelps, the then minister, to whom he
had a letter of introduction. Most Ameri
cans who get acquainted with their min
ister in London ask him for tickets to the
house of commons, a certain number of
which ho receives. Mr. Phelps, in the
course of the conversation with the Ameri
can, expressed his regret that he could not
give him a ticket to the house of commons,
as he had already promised all that he
would receive for the next six weeks.
"My dear sir, don't bother about it," re
plied the visitor, "I have already got a
whole lot of them from 'Buffalo Bill.' "
Colonel Cody had become acquainted with
so many members of parliament that he
had au almost unlimited supply of tickets
to the house of commons, which he distrib
uted with liberal hand among the Ameri
cans whom he met. Xew York Tribune.
Eastern Salutations.
Nothing can be more dignified than tho
way many Easterns salute a friend. Their
wishes for his welfare, of those dear to
him, expressed in few words, are to tho
point, yet nothing can exceed the sublime
imbecility of .some tribes of Arabs, who
teize each other's right hand thumb in
their right hand, and go on through the en
tire list of their relations, changing the
grasp as each relative is named. How is
your father (A grasps B's thumb); how is
your mother (B grasps A's thumb); how is
your uncle (grasp); how is your aunt (grasp);
your nephew, your niece, your cousin, your
grandfather, etc. (grasp, grasp, grasp), and
so on for a quarter of an hour. The Per
sian saves himself all this wear and tear by
simply touching his forehead at you, some
thing as your groom does on being told to
go home, while the Chinese, Burmese and
most other nations do something nearly as
simple.
A Violin Piano.
A new invention in musical instruments
has been brought out in Austria by a
manufacturer living at Prcsburg, which
is causing a good deal of interest. This is
called a bowed piano, but Is really a case
resembling a pianoforte frame, and con
taining mx violins, two violas and two vio
loncellos, the strings of which are tuned to
different notes. The instruments are con
nected by circular banas, w hicharc brought
into contact with the strings by means of
the keyboard, the hammers of which bear
upon the bands with varying pressure.
The instrument is said to produce a fins
tone, soft or powerful; but the principal
difficulty in bringing it into practical use
would be the tuning of the gut strings re
quired, as wire strings could not be univer
sally employed, and it is to be feared it is
only to be a musical curiosity.
