CURRENT MISCELLANY. i?'- . - One of the secrets of the success of ; .Robert P. Porter, editor, tariff expert, sujoerintendent of the United States oensus of 1890 and recently United . States diplomatie agent. In the West In?Ues and afterward in Germany, is kts wonderful rneinoiy for figures. He V fairly revels in statistics. In his home in New York there are several rooms filled with volumes upon volumes of : industrial statistics. Many of these Mr. Porter eau readily Quote from . memory. An illustration of this oc? curred not long ago, says the Philadel Sophia Saturday Vost. A Chicago niau was boasting of the rapid growth of Ms. city. "We have 2,000,000 inhabitants now. Ton gave us 1.100,000 in 1890." he said. "Not as mv~*i as that." replied Mr. Porter. "The exact figures were 1?)99,S50. Your school census of 1892 'gave 1,400,009." " The conversation then turned upon New. York city. "You underestimated that also." "Yes, we gave New York 1,515,301, ?id the state census of 1892 gave "Where do you carry all these fig tires?" asked the Chicago man. "I believe I can repeat from memory the t>est part of the important ti gm res te my census," returned Mr. Porter. / "Can you tell me how many negroes there were in this country In 1890?" asked the westerner with an air of tri? umph. "There were 7,470,040," repeated the statistician without a second's hesita? tion. "And there were 107.475 Chi? nese," The visitor took down the census re? port from the bookshelf and found that Mr. Porter had not made a single mistake. A Rattlesnake Eater. Moses Henderson is a sable son of ' Africa and lives two miles from Amer? icas In a rocky field where rattlesnakes are-most plentiful, says the Savannah Kews- Moses makes a living by cap? turing snakes and selling them. When? ever he cannot sell them he eats them. This is the truth, strange as it may seem. He recently killed a large one with ll rattles on it.' This was a fat snake, and Moses ate it. The other day he brought a very large snake to Savannah, trying to sell its hide. There were 23 rattles on it. The snake was Tery poor, and Moses said it would not do to eat. and he stuffed its hide and sold it for a good price. Every year Moses makes a great deal of money selling snake ciL He says right down the vertebrae of a rattlesnake is a fat? ty streak of llesh that makes in oil, "when fried, that will cure any case of rheumatism. It is strange to how inany people he sells this rheumatic j snake oiL He has a long list of certifi- j cates from people he has cured. Some of them are from intelligent whites, who declare that the oil has cured them when all other remedies have failed. He sells a vial of the oil for $1 and guarantees a lasting cure. Moses says his father was an African hoodoo doctor and taught him how to cure ail aches and pains with snake j oil. The negroes cf Sumter county j venerate and fear him as a mysterious j doctor who can cure when all else j fails and look upon Iiis snake oil as i something enchanted. j A R?ES With a History. A linc: with a history has just been i Landed over to the Numismatic mu? seum of Paris by a Polish, gentleman, who purchased it for a small sum re? cently in Warsaw. Shortly after he formed the acquaintance of the lady who was afterward Marquise de Pom- j padour. Louis XV presented her with j an intaglio ring representing his own ? apotheosis- It was pronounced at that time to be a marvelous work of art, equaling anything of the sort produc? ed in ancient Greece or Rome, says the Xiondon Chronicle. Round the edge was an elaborate inscription. One day Mme. de Pompadour, to her distress, lost this precious ring, which has now reappear? ed after nearly 150 years' peregrina? tion. If rings could speak, this one doubtless could tell a curious tale. Shooting at a Balloon. At Meudon. near Paris, a captive bal- ! loon was recently allowed to rise to a i height cf 150 meters and then shot at j with a I^ebel rifle. Most cf the shots I passed through the lower half of the ! balloon, and some pierced the upper j half. The effect on the ballon was j hardly perceptible, as six hours elapsed ' before, in a very gentle descent it j reached the earth, it is evident that ! the light gas did not escape through j tbe holes made in the lower part of i toe balloon, and to make holes effect- ? ively in the upper half would require J a gun of greater caliber and firing per-1 haps shrapnel. It would not how-1 .ver. tie an easy matter to hit with shot j from a large gun a balloon traveling at ? a considerable distance from the ! ground.-London Times. Klondike Hospitality. The following extract was taken from a letter in the Kansas City Jour- I nal: *'We were entertained at dinner ; one Sunday by a gentleman, and he J had his cabin as cozy a? a woman's. ; He didn't have a tablecloth, but serv- . ed his dinner in courses and washed the dishes .?etween. He had ?vapor?t- ! ed vegetable soup, broiled steak, evap- ' orated potatoes and macaroni, canned raspberries and spice cake which he j made himself, and coffee. I enjoyed it, as It was nicely cooked and served." Te va yo ra rt ly i'axched ti?. .'I hope." said the pastor and cor.?- ; deutial friend of the family, "you and Mrs. Meeker have adjusted your diffi? culties and are living in peace and con? cord with each other again." I "Well," answered Mr. Meeker hesi- ? tatingly, "we are not exactly on the j old footing as yet but-but we have j established a, modus vivendi."-CM- j SHORT MEWS STORIES. Rear Admiral Watson Didn't Swear, but He Thought It-The Don? key Was a Radical. Unlike the popular conception of most naval officers. Rear Admiral John G. Watson, who has been assigned to the command of tLe Asiatic squadron in succession to Admiral Dewey, ii, very religious. He is au ardent Pres? byterian, a deacon in that church and an enthusiastic worker in the ranks of the laymen, says the San Francisco News Letter. When his naval title was only that of commander, he was stationed at San Francisco for several years and was superintendent of the Sunday school in connection with St John's church, founded by the Kev. Dr. Scott and maintained by -iie south? ern set in memory of the founder. Of course, such a religious man is free from the common nautical vice of profanity, but sometimes things go wrong evea on the ship of a devout Christian. Admiral Watson was very disappointed when the orders for him to sail for Spain and destroy Camara's fleet were countermanded. "Didn't you swear, admiral?" anx? iously inquired a sympathetic friend, who had been reading Dewey's famous remarks on the bridge of the Olympia during the battle of Manila. "No," answered the candid soldier deacon, "not so that you could hear it But I thought swear as loud as I could -holier!" General Fitz-Hugrh Lree's Class Ring:. An interesting relic in the shape of a ring once worn by General Fitz-Hugb Lee recently came Into the possession of W. B. Odbert a Wheeling jeweler. Walter Boulde and his family came to Wheeling from Huntington, W. Va., about two months ago, and a few days ago the head of the family informed Mr. Odbert that he had a large ring te desired to sell for its gold value, says the New York Sun. When the ring was delivered, the jeweler could hardly believe his eyes, for it was in? scribed "Fitz-HughLee, 1S5G." The set? ting had been lost many years ago. and the intrinsic value of the gold was $0. This sum was paid Boulde, and he gave the jeweler a fragmentary history of the ring. He said the relic was the j class ring of the well known Virginian. On one side it bears in deep cut figures a Templar's coat of arms and hood and on the reverse crossed swords and axes. The Donkey Was a Radical. .A story-unearthed from nobody knows where-is being circulated con? cerning the last election of Lord Charles Beresford to the house of commons. I He . had just returned from York j City. While the votes were being i polled a eostermonger- arrived on j "IT'S WY DONKEY THAT'S A RADICAL." the scene to record his vote. His donkey was decked out in sumptuous green ribbons, the emblems of Beres? ford's opponeut. The voter, on being asked the cus? tomary question, answered shortly, "I go for Lord Charley, Lord bless him." Thereupon the members of the oppos? ing faction made a dash for tbe good man to convince him that, according to the emblems he carried, he must cast his vote for their candidate. Thus chal? lenged, he replied: "Oh, it'? all right I'm a Tory; it's my donkey that's a Radical, but he's an assl" The hull of the oldest steam vesse' on the Pacific coast and the second tug? boat built in the United States wert made a bonfire of on the West Seattle beach to the delight of a large number of excursionists. The vessel was the Goliab. built in New York in 1S4S by W. H. Webb. The most curious place in the world is the Alhambra. Spain. It was orig? in* ily a fortress, so great in extent as io be capable of holding 40.000 men. It was begun in 124S and finished in 1314. It contains numerous halls and courts, all decorated in the highest style of Moorish art. The famous stepping stones at Bolton abbey, England, are picturesque: but like those of other rural and romantic streams, they have been the cause of endless Inconveniences and not a few ugly mishaps. The Duke or" Devon? shire has recently erected a footbridge ; over the river just below the stepping stones. Proportionately there is no great city in th" civilized norh! that t:as so few morning papers as London. This is rbie to t!;?' large expenditure involved in starting a paper in the metropolis. Any one contemplating this must be prepared to lose many thousands of pounds a year for two or three years I and then perhaps to fail. A London capitalist has offered to construct at Southend a huge sea wall at a cost of $3.000.000 and asks in re? turn permission to use the tidal force for working a generating plant to sup? ply London with electricity. < Ile guar? antees there shall never be lesa than 8& feet of water on the beach-In fact, Jt will be a hage marine take. DEMOLISHED BY DYNAMITE. j _ I How China's Great Wal! Will Bc Used to Build 3i od er ii Cities. It took 2,000.000 men working for ! ten years to build Hie great wall of China. Even then many parts of the wall were already there for the men to link j together. The earlier . sections were built 3.322 years before the birth of Christ. The final wall was completed in 204 B. C. Now. more than 2.000 years later, thet wall is to be blown up by dynamite to suit the modern idea of progress. It will be destroyed in a twinkling. It was built iu 30 centuries. An interesting and striking object lesson in China's whimsical transition In a few years from superstitious stag? nation to practical advancement is fur-* nished in the proposition to blow the j old wall into ruins. The proposition emanates from the new ruler of China, the dowager empress. She is a re? markable old woman, this dowager empress, to have been evolved by a country like China. The wall has been the pride of the Mongolians ail their Uvea. They have been reared on it from childhood. It has been a part of their religion. Up to two years ago the bare Idea of removing it would have stricken the little yellow people dumb with indignant horror. Even now had the suggestion come from a foreigner they probably would have cried out for the white devil's blood and called upon the empress to banish all unbelieving dogs from the wall's protection. But it came from the great empress herself, who could cut off the heads of a thousand or two of the poor little chaps if they dared to raise so much as their eyes in dissent, and so the beloved wall must come down, with all its precious traditions and sacred charms clinging around it. It will be like pulling the old empire out by the roots and building a new empire of things on the ruins.-San Francisco Examiner. World's tartest Grapevine. La Para Grande, the biggest grape? vine in the world, has reached the end Cf '.s-g outdoor life and will soon I cut down. Seventy-five years it '. s been growing on a ranch in the Montecito valley, near Santa Barbara. Cal., but it has shown signs of dying, and so the owner, Albert Magee, the Pittsburg stove manufacturer, has or? dered it removed. . From the pride of the California vineyards the vine will be turned into a museum curiosity. The Santa Barbara Chamber of Com? merce will preserve it as a specimen of what Hie soil of Santa Barbara county is able to produce. La Para Grande has a trunk, or main stem. 3-/i feet in circumference, and the trellis, higher than a man's head, on which the spreading branches of the vine are sup- ? ported, measures nearly six feet in I each direction. In its primo this single vine produced full four tons of-grapes in a single year. Those days of its ? glory arc. however, long past.-Sr. j Lou is Pos?-?)?spa ich. TTVO Kapid Readers. Perhaps the fastest reader the world j ever knew was Gladstone. Ile could ! "read and digest a novel of 50.000 ! words, a scientific work as large or j larger, a polities! treatise or a history by mereiy glancing at the leaves as he i turned them over. His eye and mind j seemed to photograph with the rapidi? ty of an instantaneous camera. His eye was the lens, his mind the sensi? tive plate. In his reading he was om? nivorous to the last degree. The most rapid reader we ever had in this country is John G. Carlisle, for? mer senator from Kentucky, speaker of the house and secretary of the treas? ury. Joe Blackburn says that Carlisle is the most remarkable man he ever saw; that he can tell the contents of a book without looking at it and give the synopsis of an argument on being told the name of the author.-New York Press. The Educated Thief. 'The testimony against you,'* said the police justice, "is clear and con? clusive. You spend your time commit? ting petty thefts." "Yes, your honor," responded the prisoner, venturing to wink at the court "I am an embodied protest against the existing condition of things. I am a round robin, your honor." But his honor was equal to the emer? gency. "For the next GO days, anyhow," he said, frowning at the prisoner, "you won't be around robbin. You'll be a jail bird. Call the next case!"-Chicago Tribune. Where Are These AMMCS* Horses? Now tin* seaside season is approach- i lng we'll have Jo make up our minds : to sec a lot of funny sights hy the sad ; sea waves.

Tho number of artists m Chicago j was increased recently by the arrival j of one from a distant city who during j his leisure moments strolled about the ! down town streets seeing the sights. I Passing a store where a number of j paintings were displayed in the win I dows, he step^ M inside to look about. ! Standing before a landscape about. IO j by 14 inches in size. lu.- assumed the ? manner of an admirer of art and j awaited the approach of the proprietor. ? The latter advanced, smiling and ' rubbing his hands. Ile greeted the i I visitor cordially and said: "You are au admirer of paintings, I ? ! ?, * j see. "Yes, to some extent," was the reply. "That is a pretty bit of scenery," tia dealer returned, "that you are looking at there, that little clump of green trees and the red house. It has a charming atmosphere about it. Don't you think? With the frame, just as it is, we are asking only $15 for it That over there is a companion piece, same size, same frame. Now, if you would like to buy the pair," he continued, be? coming very earnest, "we could let you have them for-let me see. Take them along for $25." "Well, it's evidently a fair price, but the fact is I don't want to buy. 1 am a painter myself." "Oh, you are an artist!" smilingly re? marked the dealer. "Well, perhaps you would like to do some painting for ? us?" "Oh, I don't know; perhaps so. But what do you pay for a canvas like that?" Indicating the small picture un? der discussion. "Well," replied the dealer, becoming confidential and stepping up close to his caller, "that is a cheap painting, and if you can paint them fast you can make good money." "Well, what do you pay?" asked the | artist impatiently. "For that size we are paying cents." Sothern and Lanrn Keene. While in New York and before he had made any hit the elder Sothern had a dispute with Laura Keene con? cerning some trivial affair at a re? hearsal, and Miss Keene went Into one of her tantrums. After the quarrel on the stage she retired to her dressing room and, still angry, sent for Sothern and began to rate him fiercely. "Stop, Laura-stop just a minute!" Interrupted the comedian and advanc? ing to the light deliberately turned It down. "What do you mean by that, sir?" she demanded in a rage. "Oh. nothing." replied Sothern, "but you have always been so lovely to me that I can't bear to look upon your beautiful face when you are in a pas? sion.

He attended a social, and during the evening the ladies inaugurated a hagging bee, the proceeds to go to the Sunday school. Prices were graded according to the person hugged. For instance, for hug? ging a young, inexperienced girl the bidder had to give up ten cents, mar? ried women brought IT) cents and widows a quarter. Well, the man was blindfolded and. giving up 15 c?nts, he said he would take a married woman.
