PROTECTTHE FARMER Opinions of Farmers as to Protection Needed on Their Productions. Which Goes to Show Nothing" as to the Needs of the People in General. Their Claims Are Many, and No Doubt They Should Have All They Want. All Individual Producers Will Coincide With the Replies Given. Nkw Youk, Jan. 7.— Some time ago the Tribune, of this city, invited an expression of opinion by individual farmers, agricultural societies and granges regarding the influence of the tariff upon agricultural industry and the changes in the tariff desired by fanners. The result was the receipt of several thousand letters, which the Tribune submitted to a committee con sisting; of Hen. Warner Miller, of New York, chairman; Cyrus C. Carpenter, John T. Rich, W. C. Morse. Edward Burrough, J. I). Lyman, W. -LGrosve nor, Hon. .1. ii. Hale, of Connecti cut, and Hon. James Wilson, of lowa. ! This committee was charged with the j work of making up the concensus of the farmers of the country as shown by these letters. Its report, signed by all I except Messrs. Hale and Wilson— the I former having, however, approved all ! the findings on which the document is based, and the latter being beyond j reach in Texas or Mexico— will be pub lished in the Tribune to-morrow. It is ! accompanied by the following petition, j which succinctly embodies the findings of the committee, and which farmers and farmers' organizations who favor its propositions are requested to sign and transmit to congress, or to the Tribune for forwarding: Petition for More Effectual Protection of Agriculture— the Speaker of the House of Representatives: The under signed respectfully pray that agriculture may be more effectually protected by preventing fraudulent importations of cattle on pretense that they are for breeding only: by a duty of 20 cents per bushel on barley, with proportion al.' increase of duty on malt; by duties of 25 cents per bushel on potatoes and onions. §•. per 100 on cabbages, ,'i per ton on hay, 10 cents per pound on hops, 30 per cent on beans and peas, 5 cents per dozen on eggs, 90 per cent on fowls and poultry, and on "vegetables in their natural state or in salt or brine, not otherwise provided for" with no re moval or reduction of duties on market garden products now dutiable; by such increased duties on flax and on linen goods as will effectually encourage tin- preparation of fiber and manufacture of goods: by abolish ing all duties on sugar, with a bounty to home producers; by preventing im ports of leaf tobacco suitable for wrap pers at the duty imposed on other leaf tobacco, and repealing all internal taxes on tobacco; by restoring to wool grow ing the substantial protection enjoyed under the tariff of ISG7, so modified as to meet the later forms of foreign com petition and of evasion. The report proper is quite long, giving the statistics of farm and manufactur ing growth in the United States during the past fifteen years to show that pro tection has brought immigration and with it a home market for agricultural products which permitted vast farm development, etc. The following ex cerpts give the spirit of what the com mittee found in the letters: "The great majority of these letters express the conviction that the tariff, notwithstanding defects and omissions, has contributed powerfully to the growth and welfare of agriculture. Few are hostile or indifferent. With scarcely an exception the letters re ceived point out that the tariff should have directly defended the industry of farmers in ways in which it has not. It should shield them, as completely as any branch of manufacture, from the spasmodic and destructive competition which the cheapness and degradation of labor in some other lauds permit. But the barrier around farming industry, at all points relatively low, has many gaps, partly from early oversight and partly from mistaken revision within the past few years. Even at this hour Borne important products of American farms are undersold in many of our cities and towns by the products of ill paid or unpaid labor. Onions from Spain and Egypt appear in markets as far west as Chicago. To bacco raised by coolies in Sumatra lessens the reward of American grow ers. Wool clipped by slaves, by con victs, or by creatures scarely less de graded, stops wool-growing by an army of American farmers, and sends 0,000, ---000 sheep to the slaughter. Potatoes and cabbages by the cargo, from places where women work daily in the fields, conic hither as ballast, with egirs by the ship load from Holland, cattle 'from Mexico, and barley from Canada. The fraudulent importation of cattle for slaughter, across Northern and Southern boundaries on pre tense that they are for breeding purposes only and by law free of duty should be effectually prevented. It is quite enough that 73.000 head were last year imported at a duty of only 20 per which would be thought scanty protection for any other industry. But 12,000 head were brought in from Mexico professedly for breeding and many more from Canada .though American pro ducers have for years been unable to get living prices. The collapse of ex tensive speculations. . in cattle and ranches caused a great number of ani mals to be sacrificed at low prices, and, though consumers gained relatively little, one of the chief industries of the country was rendered almost wholly unprofitable. The greatest danger will come if similar speculations arise in Mexico and Canada; at their collapse immense numbers of cattle may again be forced upon our market in spite of the low duty which will then prove no protection. But the fraudulent evasion of the Jaw already increases, and can be indefinitely ex tended. The duty on barley should be raised to equal that on wheat, viz: 20 cents per bushel, with a proportionate increase in the duty on barley malt Over 10,000.000 bushels of barley were imported during the last fiscal year and probably over 13,000,000 during the last calendar year, while in I&SC the home production was 59,000,000 bushels. The regions in which it may be most profit ably grown have their prices fixed in great markets which Canadian pro ducers can reach by water, while most of our own products can not. The duty on potatoes and market garden products, which at times can be brought hither in ballast in unlimited quantities, should be large enough to insure. a fair defense to farmers near the seaboard and border. Here follow statistics of the Importa tion of potatoes and of the homo pro duction on the Middle. Atlantic coast, showing that New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania produce fewer potatoes than they did twentv eight years ago. The report continues: "More than 1.000,000 tons of flax straw goes to waste, or is burned in Western .states, worth, if prepared, $20,000,000, while we pay .li;, 000,000 to foreign mak ers for linen goods, besides duties amounting to 500,000 which the gov ernment does not want. No less than 27*1 of the .126 farmers who refer at all to the duties on sugar ask the abolition of these duties. The producers of tobacco Co not ask any increase of duties, but they earnestly desire that the fraudu lent importation of grown to bacco, by which their industry has been rendered unprofitable, may be stopped by more precise language in defining the classes to which existing duties were meant to apply." The report then gives the statistics of the wool industry of the country, as af fected by the tariff, and continues: "The wool growers who appeal to other farmers throughout the country show that the. prostration of their indus try is imminent; that they number more than one million,' and If, 'forced to give up wool growing must devote their land to other branches of agriculture, in which competition is already severe enough; that the prostration of the manufacture would also deprive Ameri can farmers of a considerable part of their home market, and that, with wool len goods worn by nine-tenths of the people as cheap now as in any other country, quality considered, the con sumers have only to pay higher prices if the enormous consumption of this country is to be supplied wholly or in part by foreign looms. They therefore ask a united effort of ail farmers to ob tain from congress such action that this industry may receive the substantial protection enjoyed under the tariff of 1807." ■■___■■ -- A MAGICIAN IN GOLD. The Hindoo Jeweler at His Mar velous Task of Turning Out Ex quisite Gew-Gaws. One of my companions having made a bargain with the smith, banded him three English florins which he desired to have manufactured into one bangle of the choicest East Indian design and workmanship, writes William Agnew Patton. The coolie man- heated the coins, cut them into narrow pieces, of which he welded the ends together, using hammer and anvil, thus making a bar tour or five inches long, and, as l remember, two or three lines in width and thickness. Covering one end of this strip of metal with damp clay to protect his fingers from the heat, the bangle-maker stuck the silver into tho diminutive charcoal fire, which he set aglow by blowing through a tube simi lar in appearance to a glass-blower's pine. When the metal was at a dull-red heat he beat it soundly, forging it round and smooth to the diameter of telegraph wire: then, carefully bend ing it in a circle, joined the two ends, welding them together neatly and with dispatch. This done, and the joint having been covered with a ror 'i r.-.i-ss of hot silver fashioned into a .-aii tie size of a cherry, the Hindoo held <.>ul t'.e half-finished trinket for inspection and approval. lie next smoothed and pol ished the surface of the ball by ham mering; then he graved and stamped it with various dies, cutting .simple, con ventional patterns of irregular design. Next, having selected a small silver serpent from an assortment of ready made devices and charms which lie kept in a cocoanut shell, he plunged it into the fire and blew through his blow-pipe until the cobra became blood-red. Pinching the reptile's tail between bits of moist clay the Hindoo drew it from the lire, and, before it lost its angry hue, deftly cork-screwed the emblem of im mortality around the wire of the bangle in four complete coils, all the time tap ping the snake here and there gently with his mallet, in this way fastening ft securely in its place. Plunging the ornament into a cala bash of cocoanut oil he waited till the serpent ceased hissing, and the Indian bracelet was then ready to be clasped on the wrist of whomsoever the gallant gentleman had in his mind when he found it in his heart to give the order for it. .____. A CURIOUS WATCH DIAL. What An Illinois Jeweler Has Made a Remarkable Watch Show. A gentleman connected with the Illi nois Watch company has a wonderfully curious watch dial, says the Jewelry i News. Instead of Roman numerals to j denote tiie hours, there are eleven I small but very distinct silhouette fig ures representing a man out with his dog for a day's sport. At 7 o'clock he is seen starting out with his gun and dog; at 8 o'clock he makes a shot; at nine o'clock he has a sand-hill crane which measures as long as himself: at ten o'clock the man and his dog are scared at tlie sight of a jack-rabbit which is sitting upon his hind legs with his big, long ears raised above the bushes: at eleven o'clock the hunter takes a drink, and, while in this attitude, the dog sits in front of his master with his nose pointing directly at the flask; at twelve o'clock the sportsman is seen sitting on a stump, and is eating a lunch —the dog is eyeing the piece of bread which the hunter has in his hand. At 1 o'clock he starts out to finish the rest of the day, and so he takes his dog and fishing tackle and goes to the water; at 2 o'clock the doi_, which is behind his master, has been caught with the hook by an attempt to throw in his line; at 3 o'clock he and the dog are all straight ened out again and the line is in the water, be has both hands on the pole, and his foot braced on a stump by the water's edge, as though be had a tre mendous bite ; at 4 o'clock the man has got a big fish on his line, which has pulled him off his feet, and be falls on the dog and doubles him all up, but the man is holding fast to the pole, which is bent almost double; at 5 o'clock he is | all straightened out again, his pole is thrown across his shoulder, and with his fish in the Other hand be starts for home, the dog following behind with his head hanging down, being all tired out. The man's name is also painted in the center of the dial in rustic letters. The dial reflects a great deal of credit upon the artist. Charles Geyer. The figure VI. is superseded by the seconds. -___» . — Lamar's Mind Was Away. Lamar has the reputation of being given to writing and thinking up poetry, and his appearance very often as he walks along the avenue is very pensive and absent-minded. At one time when he was living at Willard's he met a friend as he was coming from the sen ate down to the National hotel. "Come up and have dinner with me," said Lamar to the gentleman, after they had shaken hands. The friend accepted the invitation and started to walk up the street with Mr. Lamar. He began the conversa tion and soon was interested in telling about some occurrence at home, but Lamar had fallen into one of his re flective moods and was not listen ing to anything the friend said. The space between the National and Willard's was passed over, and finally, arriving on the pavement in front of the latter hotel, Lamar suddenly pulled himself together, and, looking around, he recollected that he had a friend with him. He had not heard a word the gen tleman had said, but, turning to him, stretched out his hand and said: "Well, this is my hotel. lam very much obliged to you for walking up the street with me. Good-bye," and turned to go in. But the man was not so easily shaken. He laughed and said: "Beg pardon, Mr. Lamar, you in vited me to dinner, and I'm not going to lose it." "So I did, so I did," cried Lamar, quickly, and taking his friend by the arm he went in. Her Ticket in Her Stocking. Savannah News. A very pretty little country maiden was just in the act of boarding a train at the union station this morning, says the Pittsburg Press, when a Pennsyl vania railroad biakeman stretched forth his strong right arm, and said: "Please let me see your ticket." The lady turned red in the face, and, with an innocent smile answered: "I don't like to—hut but—l have a ticket, sir," "Well, well ; you must let me see your ticket, and don't keep other passengers waiting," remarked the biakeman, a little impa tiently. The young lady placed her foot on the step of the car and drew out from one of her black hose a coupon ticket almost a yard long. "There it is, sir," said she with a faltering voice. The brakeman gave the ticket a hasty glance, assisted the young woman to the cai platform, raised his hat in a polite bow, and was left to blush alone, while the other railroad boys laughed at his expense. "I was a 'brute," he said. THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 8, 1833. WON BY GALLAGHER. " "Reddy" Easily Wins in the Six-Round Fight With Bittle. THE CANUCK BADLY USED. The Great Walk Yesterday Was Led by Albert, With Panchot Second. Special to the Globe. Ci kvelaxi), 0., Feb. 7. — In the glove light between Reddy Gallagher, of Cleveland, and Sam Bittle, of To ronto, to-night, Gallagher had the best of it throughout, and had it been to a finish would have done his man, 'Ihe match was for six rounds with small gloves, Queensberry rules, with an op tion of two additional bouts if the referee was unable to decide. Seventy five per cent of the gate receipts to the winner and 25 to the loser. About fifty men paid $."> apiece to see the fight. Gallagher stripped at 158 pounds and was in the pink of condition. Bittle weighed 10. and had the best of his op ponent in height and reach, but looked soft and somewhat out of condi tion. Gallagher was seconded by Dick Pooler and Harry Park, and Bittle had behind him old "Bill Jordan and Lou Hart-nan. Jack Fogerty, of Pittsburg, was referee, and before calling time an nounced that he would fight the winner for a purse or gate receipts on any terms agreeable. In the first round the men sparred for an opening for a minute, when Bittle caught Gallagher ou the side of the head; two or three sharp ex changes followed, Gallagher using a very handy left with good effect and raising the crimson tint on the Canuck's neck and breast, in return for which he got a rib-roaster as time was called. In the second Gallagher scored a clean knockdown and first blood by a terific left bander in Bittle's mouth. Bittle got in on Gallagher's neck and I stomach, but his blows seemed to lack ] steam. Gallagher landed a stinger on i Bittle's throat as time was called. The j third was marked by sharp in-lighting, two savage counters and two clinches. I Gallagher scored three knockdowns. j In the fourth honors were easy. In the fifth, after a few seconds' sparring, Gal- I lagher rushed the. fighting and after sharp exchanges downed his man at the ropes. Bittle was down twice and took his ten seconds to get up. There was a prolonged clinch and sharp rib roasting during this round in favor of Gallagher. The sixth was a repetition of the fifth, except that Bittle got in three or four safe hits on Gallagher's neck and stom ach, but he was a little groggy and his blows did not tell. The referee gave the match to Gallagher, the police hav ing called a halt. ALBERT AHEAD, Panchot Second, Followed Closely , by Guerrero. . New York} Feb. 7.— At daylight this morning there were about 500 spectators in Madison Square garden. A number of fights were started in the early morn ing, and beer glasses sailed through the air at a lively rate, but no one was seri ously injured. At 9 o'clock Albert was in the lead with 170 miles to his credit. He looks almost as fresh as when he started. Guerrero conies second, with j UK) miles covered. He also looks fresh. Stout, the tall "Arabian"' who vowed that lie would go through the week without eating, claiming to have done the same on the deserts, while walking constantly behind camels, had to give in i this morning. He took some liquid I food and was rubbed down during a ! brief rest. Little lieigeman left the track at 12:50. He said his stomach was "all gone," and the muscles of his throat are drawn, the result of a cold. No man now on the track, except Collins, had over _._£ hours rest since the . start. Albert was the first to score 200 miles, and he was ten miles in the lead, when, 'at 5:05, Panchot completed his 200 miles. He was followed by Guerrero thirty minutes later, with Hart fourth, at 0:45. Between 8 and 9 o'clock Pan chot spurted and gained a mile and a half on the leader. In the evening rain set in and the attendance was very slim. At the end of the first forty eight hours of the match, Albert lead with a score of 238 miles— twenty miles behind the world's record of 258 miles made by Howell in 1882. His score, however, was twelve miles -ahead of the highest record made by a winner of a six days race. The 12 o'clock noon, and 2 o'clock a. in., scores are: 12 m. 2 H.in. 12 m. 2 a.m. ML M L M L M L Albert. . 1831 0 238] 0 Xor'm'c 143!

Fox. proprietor of the Police Gazette, was arrested this morning by Inspector "Williams, charged with violating the penal code by encouraging prize fight ing. He went to headquarters with the inspector and then immediately started for the Tombs police court. The tech nical charge against Mr. Fox is that of aiding and abetting prize fighting in de fiance of law, of holding stakes, pub lishing the details and preliminaries of fights and making his office the rendez vous for men bent on violating the law. When Fox was arraigned in court he asked for an adjournment of the exami nation until Tuesday. His request was granted and he was released on his own recognizance. Would Thrash a New Yorker. Houseman, the police reporter of the Chicago Inter Ocean, who last week whipped young Alberts, of the Tribune*: says that he will fight any reputtdrte middleweight newspaper man from New York or Brooklyn for a purse of 1500. the match to bo governed by the rules of the London prize ring, and fought to a finish with skin-tight gloves or bare knuckles. Nearly all of the reportorial fraternity of Chicago is back of House pay the expenses of the New Yorker man, and it was agreed recently to and give him the choice of Indiaua or Minnesota for the battle ground. One hundred newspaper men and sports have each pledged themselves to pay $5 for a ticket, and as a guarantee of good faith a forfeit of $250 will be posted for the New Yorkers to cover. Houseman is adverse to a pugilistic career, but he says he will fight a New York newspa per man for money or marbles. TO TEST THE MACHINE. Ross" "Road Sculler" Will Be Given a Trial in England. London, Feb. 7.— Wallace Ross, the well-known American oarsman, has placed on exhibition his ''road sculler,", the full merits of which will be tested at a six-days race for a challenge cup and a purse of $1,500, and which takes place at the Albert palace immediately after the race on the Thames Feb. 13 between Bubear and Ross. Besides these two oarsmen. East, Godwin and Carr will compete in the race. The "road sculler" completely adapts to a tricycle the rowing action of a boat with a sliding seat. It cau be propelled at a great rate of speed, and the possi- ; bilities of "catching a crab," or of being, turned over, art! remote, the seat being placed considerably below the action of the driving wheels. The steering can be effected by a pressure of the feet on the front wheel, or an extra pull on either handle. Altogether the contri vance is an ingenious one, the only drawback being that the mechanism makes considerable noise when the ma chine is being "rowed." The McCarty-Prince Race. Special to the Globe. A ... ~ ' . Omaha, Neb., Feb. 7.— The backers of McCarty. the bicycle rider, who will run with Jack Prince, of this city, will arrive to-night, when it will be formally agreed where the race will take place. ' An Omaha sporting man has already offered $1,500 to the managers of the* raco if they will have their race in this city at the Omaha base ball park. The gentleman who makes the offer agrees to put down the track and furnish the. grounds. In case this proposition is ac cepted the race will have to be post poned until the weather is warm enough for an outdoor match, otherwise it will take place within four weeks. Prince and Ashlnger are in hard training in the Turf Exchange hall for the six-day race, in Philadelphia. They will leave for the latter city on Friday night. r ' Not Giving It Out. Buffalo, N.

Joe Quinn, speaking in reference to a re port that Jay Anderson was abusing him, says; ".Mr. Anderson lost considerable money by the Dulatb club, and as 1 would not allow him to sell me to any league club this gentleman must feel aggrieved. Jay Anderson is a genu] good fellow, and no matter what any Duluth scribe could or would say would ever make me think other wise. It Mr. Anderson would write an article in regard to my signing with Pcs Moines, and put his own name to it, [ would then endeavor 10 answer him." Manager Morton writes the Dcs Moines Register: "1 notice in one ot your late issues an article from some Dcs Moines sheet, stal ing that I was down on Veach. I think my treatment of of him last season proves the falsity of that. Veach, when Veach, can play as hue ball as any player in the Western • association, and I look for him. as Veach. to play such ball the coming season that will place him where he belongs— one of the. leaders of the profession.-' As spring approaches the people of Den ver are becoming very eager for a team this season, and should any vacancy occur in the western association will apply for it promptly. The News of (hat city, editorially, calls for the transplanting of the Kansas City Western association team toDenver.and says: "It is a good team, superior to all but Omaha and Dcs Moines, and equal to them in batting strength." The Sporting Times says: "Hutchinson, one of the Dcs Moines pitchers, is said to have developed into a t wirier in a single day, I n 1882, Lamb, the star pitcher of the Vale team, gave out, and Hutchinson tried ids hand.

A satisfactory settlement of the matter is looked for in a few days, when trains will rim into the union station. Over 400 people attended the charity ball last evening with which the new union station was opened. While those disposed danced in the two large wait ing rooms on the ground floor, numbers of others enjoyed themselves at whist or euchre in the rooms on the. second. A lunch was served to all who desired. The address of Judge McCluer was de livered at 8:30 p. m. and was brief but appropriate to the occasion. Mayor Seymour presided and introduced the speaker. The substance of his remarks was a felicitation to the citizens of Still water upon the completion of this, the finest railroad station in the Northwest outside of the Twin Cities. His remarks were warmly applauded. The Chair Suited at Last. Nashville American. A furniture dealer tells a little story that shows how some people are consti tuted. A lady ordered an elegant easy chair of a peculiar kind. It was made and sent to her house. She examined it carefully and critically, finally re marking that it suited her exactly, with one exception, it was too soft. She had the man take the chair back to be made a trifle harder. The chair was returned to the store and was put aside. Nothing was done to it. After the lapse .of about a week the chair was sent out again. The woman again examined it, and this time the chair was too hard. She was sorry, but ' when she paid so much to get an article for her own comfort she wanted it about right, so she sent it back to the store for another change. The chair • was again put aside for a week or ten' days, and sent out the third time with- '1 out having a particle of change made. This time it was just right. She took the chair, paid for it and was sorry it had not suited her at first.

There is one American family in Eu rope that might be thought to have long ago attained sufficient notoriety, and yet there is hardly a month passes that the cable does not tell us something about them, says a New York dis ' patch. Every now and then some In cident happens that seems to bring them quito willingly to the front, and It would soem as though the numerous brood of children which Isaac M. Singer lett behind him are determined to keep their names and his memory before the public. The last announcement is that one of the daughters is about to marry an Italian duke. Of course the duke has no money, and Miss Singer will be expected to supply enough to keep tho impecunious nobleman and herself from poverty. ' The publication of this coming mar riage recalls some of the curious facts that have made these people somewhat notorious, and serves to bring to mind something about Singer and his numer ous wives and progeny. • A When Isaac M. Singer was chopping wood around Schaghticoke, N. V., in 1830, he never had an idea that he would invent a sewing-machine that 1 would bring him millious, and that his daughters would be spending them in buying up titles on the other side of the Atlantic. He was living from hand to mouth, and he married a stout Irish girl named Catharine Haley and moved to Waterloo, lie was a shiftless, bright sort of a fellow, irregular in his way of living, and with a natural bent for any thing but hard work. He took to the stage, and was at one time somewhat of a popular favorite, but he never seemed to have any money. One night while playing in Baltimore he became enamored of a young woman named Mary Ann Sponser,and promptly married her. Then he and his new wife started out, and for .fourteen years worked as actors in temperance pieces through the churches all over the coun try, and were wretchedly poor. They drifted finally to Chicago, and there Singer invented a reaping machine and later on a machine for carving type, and both of these brought him some money. About 1850 he had completed the in ventions which perfected the Singer sewing machine, and, with a lawyer named Clark, had formed the firm* of Singer & Co., and HAD BEGUN TO PILE UP HIS WEALTH. From that time until 1863 these two men grew richer and richer every day, until they counted their fortunes by the millions. In the meantime Singer came to New York and settled down in one of the most stylish houses in the city at No. 1-1 Fifth avenue, and he and his second wife began to go a good deal into so ciety. He and everybody else seemed to have forgotten his legal wife. who. with her two children, managed by bard work to live over in New Jersey, and never thought the rich Singer whom she used to hear about occasionally was the man for whom she had in her earl v days toiled and struggled. In I860," just twenty-four years after he had left her, Singer quietly obtained a divorce from ..Catharine Haley, and at that time his second wife had already borne him ten children. Three months after he had obtained a divorce he abandoned his Wife No. 2 and went to Europe. After he had gone it was discovered that he. had been married under assumed names to two other women in New York city. One of them he had married as Henry j Matthews, and five children had been the result or the union; and the other, whom he had wedded as Charles Mer riit. had borne him one son. •While Singer was abroad he publicly married a French woman named lsa belle Bryce, and taking her, his fifth venture in matrimony, to Paris, became quite a lion among the money-spenders of that gay city. He and she, the only woman to whom he was supposed to have been faithful, finally went to En gland, where he* purchased a castle and an estate, and died in 1878. His five wives and most of his twenty four children were alive at the time of his death, but the six who were borne to .him by his .matrimonial bargain re ceived the greater, share or his fortune. Of "course there was litigation, and there is some yet going on, but the heart less old fellow had long before his death so distributed his property that there was scarcely any necessity for him to leave a will. When the litigation first began it became apparent that new and up to that tithe unheard-of Claimants would crop up on every side, for every moth seemed to bring forth a new woman with unim peachable proofs that Singer married her. Indeed, it is not more than a year ago since an enterprising newspaper man found another of Singer's widows living in Central Pennsylvania with two children that bore his name. The peo ple who are getting themselves tele graphed about over the cable are the children by Singer's fifth wife, and she has kept herself rather prominently be fore the public, while the children of his first and only legal wife have long since taken themselves and their affairs beyond the reach of comment upon their father's misdeeds. * ma • LOVE LETTERS OF FAMOUS MEN. How Dr. Johnson, Goethe, Keats and Balzac Wrote to Women : They Admired. Dr. Johnson was not a letter writer in the true sense of the word, says the London Queen. His balanced style lacked flexibility; his strong nature abandon ; but his epistles breathe the sincerity of his piety, the loftiness of his spirit, the dependence of his heart upon human affection. He could write with picturesqe, somewhat ponder ous vivacity, as may be seen by the group of letters addressed to Mrs. Thrale during his journey through the Hebrides, which the lady thought were more delightful than his books. How pathetic and solemn is the glimpse \ve have of the sick man in the follow ing, written to his friend. Mrs. Booth by: "It is again midnight, and lam again alone. With what meditations shall I amuse this waste hour. of dark ness and vacuity? If 1 turn my thoughts upon myself, what do I perceive but a poor, helpless body reduced by a blast of wind to weakness and misery?" How touching is this request to Miss Porter: "1 shall take it very kindly if you make it a rule to write to me once at least every week, for 1 am now very desolate, arid am loth to be universally forgot ten." ■ Mr. Lewes has thrown discredit upon the correspondence of Bettina; he treats it as a romance of Bettiua's brain, add ing that: "How much is true, how much expggeration, and how much pure exaggeration, I am in no position to ex plain." The book, when it appeared two years after the poet's death, threw Germany into a ferment. It was the story of the passionate feeling with which Goethe, at sixty years of age, had inspired a young girl of twenty, and of the half-tolerant, half-encouraging re sponse he had made to it. The poet seamed a god to Bettina. This orphan girl, half Germrn, half Italian, senti mental, mystic, ardent, loved the poet -with all the strength of her soul before she saw him, and when she knew him she worshiped him like a votary in an abandonment of devo tion. "Hie on the ground on the spot where thy feet rested; lam well there and nowhere else," she writes. Goethe answered letters full of such outbursts in a manner that showed his vanity was flattered, his imagination stimulated, Intellectual curiosity (which was ever on the alert for manifestations of char acter) aroused. "Thy letters,'' he writes, "are like a braid of a thousand colors which I unbind in order to class ify its beautiful wealth." He bids her go on confiding her feelings to him so that he may translate them, put them into . rhyme, and use them. Another time he writes: "Thy letters are read and re-read with a great deal of pleasure; what my pen could answer falls to convey the imme diate impression they produce, and to which one allows oneself so willingly to yield, feeling notwithstanding that these are all Illusions, for who could reason ably believe in so much love? It is best to accept it all as a dream." Another time he writes: "Thou art like a lovely light, softly brightening the evening of my life." Did the great man tire or his votary; did Goethe's wife cause the sud den rupture that at the end of four years rid the poet of Bettlna's rapturous devo tion? Long afterward they met again just once, a short time before the poet's death. Of the love letters of illustrious men, none are more exquisite or tragically pathetic than those of Keats to his "Leopardess," as the boy poet called the woman he loved. There is no play fulness in those letters. They are writ ten from the shadow of the tomb with the despair of an all-absorbing love, making life a rapture. Balzac's letters to tho Countess Banska, the lady whom he after ward married, are marvels of expres sion in the sway of love over a -rich nature. "I have in the treasure of your letters, in the no less incompar able one of my recollections of you, in my grateful and constant thought of all the good you have done my soul by your advice, your example, sovereign remedies against all misfortune; and I bless you often, my dear and beneficent star, in tho silence of the night and in the stress of my torments." Balzac had written a few years before to a woman friend; "Friendship goes further than love; for to me it appears to be the last stage of love, quietness and security in happiness." When love touched his heart he wrote no more of the superi ority of friendship. m TIPS FOR THE TABLE. It Might Be AVell for Certain Hotel Boors to Note These Valuable Suggestions. "Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy" is not a bad rule for the diner-out. A man of course wears the customary suit of solemn black, unless he is an esthetic and disports himself in knee breeches and lace ruffles. A lady can scarcely wear too handsome a dress, though it should be different in style from a half dress. Her most beautiful jewels and richest laces find a ceremonious dinner a suitable occasion for their display. Places at the table should be found as quietly as possible, and a man is wise to inquire before going to the dining room on which side of the table he is to sit. Guests remain standing until the hostess has taken her seat, and then seat themselves. They lay their table napkins across their laps, take off their gloves, and if there is a roll of bread in their plates they remove it to the left side. If raw oysters have been served they will be eaten at once. It is no longer good form to wait for tiie rest of the company to lie served before begin . -n ing to eat, and for ibis there is a sensi ble reason, as will be found on examina tion to he the case with most of the lit tle changes in fashiou which take place from time to time. A grand dinner would be indefinitely prolonged if all the guests waited to eat the same thing at the same time. The waiters begin their service with the lady who sits at the host's right hand and she should be ready to be helped to the second course by the time the first course has made the round of the table. A neophyte might perhaps be puzzled among the multiplicity of forks beside her plate, but she will see that the small spoon-shaped fork is used for oysters, and the next smallest fork for the fish. It is now customary to supply also a silver knife for fish, and' this is a great convenience. Should the fish knife be absent, tie fork is to be held in the right hand and assisted by a piece of bread in the left; but the silver knife is preferable, and will be found in most houses. Soup should be eaten with a spoon. Dessert spoons for soup are no longer en regie, on the theory that soup is nothing unless hot. and that it can be eaten more quickly, aud therefore when hotter, by using a large spoon. If you arc fastidious about trifling forms, you will dip up your soup with the side of the spoon farthest from you, and move it toward the far ther side of your plate as you lift it to ward your mouth. The really important thing is to eat from the side of the spoon and noiselessly. Nothing is a much surer test of the number of removes we are from our great grandfather, the ape. than our manner of taking soup. To eat noisily is loudly to proclaim our selves unfit for the society of ladies and gentlemen. In eating any course where both a knife and fork are required, the fork should be held in the left hand and the knife in the right. It is not a social crime to transfer the fork to the rigid hand and back agaiu, but it is. now considered better form to keep the fork in the left hand and carry all food to the mouth with that hand, unless in the courses where no knife is required. In eating soft dishes, such as croquettes or sweetbreads, where a fork only is necessary, it is of course held in the right hand. A fork is used whenever it is possible for pud dings and jellies, and in many houses for ice cream. In England both a fork and a spoon will be given you with the sweets, and both are sometimes used together. Cheese is the one thing for which a fork is not used, and you will find your self supplied only with a knife for that course which consists of cheese, lettuce or celery and biscuits, or, as we say, crackers. Vegetables should always be eaten with a fork, except the few which, like artichokes, yen hold in your fingers. One is quite at liberty to take asparagus in the fingers and bite it off, though some geople prefer to cut off the soft ends and eat them with a fork. Olives are taken in the lingers. Peaches, pears and apples are pre pared for eating with a fruit knife and fork, but large strawberries are eaten by taking the stem in your fingers and dipping them into the sugar on your plate. «■___- MINNEAPOLIS REAL.

How the Onondaga*) Celebrate the Festive Occasion. There is a strong smell of burnt white dog around the council house of the Onondaga Indians at this place, seven miles from Syracuse. The red gentle man can select his own day for making New Tear's calls, and can also celebrate the occasion by cooking a white dog, says an Onondaga special. The pagan Onondaga Indian starts his New year about the same time during the third quarter of the moon nearest the Ist of February, and sits up nights to find out when that is. He has an idea that there Is an influential God called Aereskoi who had best be pro pitiated at this 'time by contributions of tobacco, and particularly of the death of a white dog. The "council house" looks like a neglected one-story, cross roads school house, but the legend goos that the council fire has never gone out from so far 'way back that you can't count it. A Waterbury alarm clock alarmed the picked boys of the tribe at 7 a. m. yesterday. Somebody else went in the Council house and swept up last year's ashes, started a new fire and brought out the old ashes to be blown to the four winds of heaven. While this was going on the chief had hurried through his breakfast and the squaws were doing up the dishes. The chief hurried their breakfasts in order to go and hang a white dog in the kitchen of a red gen tleman who stands high in the Six na tions. It was a secret ceremony, and the shades were pulled down. The gen tlemen officiating wore their Sunday feathers and paint. The gentleman brought the dog into the council hall and put him on a bench, and made mo tions and noises necessary for a first class incantation. Finally, all heard an eloquent oration over the deceased by Chief Webster. Then the dog and some navy plug tobacco and some" herbs raised on the reservation were all thrust into the stove together, that by this time was red hot. Every pagan Indian on the reservation is taking a three days' vacation. Besides the white dog cremation, the New Year's ceremonies consist in eating all that there is around and holding big dances. ■ *m The Chinaman Kept On. A cable car rumbled calmly through Washington Heights, New York, on a recent afternoon. In it were three ladies on their way home from the Masonic fair, two young men going to dinner, and a Chinese laundryman, who, for purposes of euphony, may bo called Ah Sin. Also, there was aboard a reporter of the Evening World. The Chinaman deposited two large bundles on the rear platform and watched the flying cable with deep in terest. "Him stlingpullee car," said he. when asked what he was looking at. "Him velly stlong stling." The Chinaman was apparently on his way to see Lawson N. Fuller, for he called the attention of the conductor to the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street crossing and picked up his bundles. "Ketch onto his jags now," said the conductor as a suspicious grin over spread his features. "Allee lightee; stoppec car," sang out Ah Sin. The conductor threw himself upon the brake with all his strength. The car nearly stood on end with the force of the shock. Ah Sin kept right on going, however, and, with a bundle under each arm, he rolled over and over until he brought up with a whack against a lamp post. An Sin arose slowly and painfull}-, and rubbed the mud out of his eyes. Then he looked at the car with an ex pression of mingled doubt and surprise, and said: "Did him stling bloke?" Have You a Humor of Skin or Blood? . IF SO. THECUTICURA REM DIES WILL CURE YOU. I was induced, after all other remedies had failed, to use the Citicura Remedies on mv boy four years of age, who had running sores from his thighs to the ends of his toes. The nails fell off. His arms and face were also covered, and he was. a horrible sight. The Cuticuba and Cuticura Soap were all that 1 used. Two days after their use we could see a change for the better, and in six weeks the child was perfectly well. 1 was then induced to try them further, as my wife had what we termed dry scale tetter, or psoriasis, for nearly fifteen years, and I tried everything that 1 could get hold of, and asked the advice of the most eminent of the profession, but all in vain. It was all over her body, and all over her head and face. She used but one bottle of the Resolvent! two boxes of the Cuticura, and two cakes of Cuticura Soap, and in one week from the time she began their use 1 could see a change for the better. It is now nearly one year since she slopped using the Cuticura Rem edies, and there is no- return. 1 pronounce her entirely cured. No one, only those who have the disease and those who are con stantly about diseased patients, can realize the torture in which they are placed. I have recommended the Cuticura Rem dies to all whom I have met that were in any way in need of a skin cure. One man to whom I recommended them had suffered for over twelve years, aud in that time spent nearly live hundred dollars to be cured; but nothing helped, and now after the use of rive bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and sev eral boxes of Cuticura, and two cakes of Cuticura Soap, rejoices in having found a cure. I have others at present under treat ment, and with good prospects. In no case, to my knowledge, have the Cuticura Rem edies failed. I take pleasure in sending this to you. trust ing that it may prove a blessing to you and to the suffering. DR. L. MILLIROX, Kimball, Brule Co., Dakota.
