••l'oor Jonathan."
Conricd's comic opera company will begin
an engagement at the Tremont opera house
to-night, appearing in Carl Milloeckor's suc-
cessful comedy o(>era "Poor Jonnthun,"
which had such a long and prosperous run ut
tho New York Casino last year.
"Poor Jonathan" will also be given at a
mat ineo performance on Tuesday, and on
Tuesday night Mr. Conried's company will
present "The Gypsy Baron," tho masterpiece
of the waltz king. Johnnn Strauss.
"Poor Jonathan" is said to in* full of fun,
depicting, as it does, the tribulations of an
American millionaire, who, tiring of the re-
sponsibilities of ins wealth, transfers his en-
tire property to his cook, Jonathan Trip.
"The Gypsy Baron" was successfully given
by this company last January in this city,
when its romantic story and its hparkling
music gained it great favor.
A large sale of seuts at tho Tremont insures
good houses for the company during ite Gal-
veston engagement.
The orchestra of the opera house will be
combined with tho musicians carried by tho
company.
"Paul Kauvar."
Seats are now on sale as tho Tremont box

ized tho Sylvester minstrel company, and will

"How long havo you been in Galveston?'
yesterday inquired a News man of Col. Irwin
Mahon,
"I have been here since last June," replied
tho colonel.
"Well, as you have been hero long enough
to form an opinion, suppose you tell mo ex-
actly what you thuik of Galveston and her
future prospects?"
"I will do so with pleasure," replied Mr.
Mahon.
"Probably you remember that on the 28 day
of August, 1888, at tho opening of the deep
water harbor convention in the city of Denver,
the then governor of Colorado, Hon. Alv
Adams, said in his address, 4It is but tho
infancy of a mighty manhood, this building of
a groat harbor on the north coast of the Gulf
of Mcxico.
"Little did Governor Adams dream, nor any
one else for that matter, that in less than three
years from the time of tho holding of this con-
vention to aid Galveston in tho construction of
the magnificent work contemplated, that tho
greatness and grandeur of the scheme would
advance and ezpaud until it reached tho point
it has, not alone of deopening a harbor for the
reception of tho largest vessel afloat, but far
advanced in well appointed plans to secure
through this port at Galveston, a larger and
better lioid than the south and west have ever
before enjoyed, for tho sale of all their pro-
ducts and in all other ways shaping mutters to
profit by tho new order of things brought
about by the treaties of reciprocity between
tho United States and Brazil, in which tho es-
tablishing of a regular and olHeiont lino of
American steamships will cut uo moan figure
and in the near future prove tho wisdom of tho
promoters of tho deep water project on tho
gulf coast.
"Tho building of Galveston harbor is not a
local, but a great national blessing, and while
it will, like tho enchanter's wand, add to tho
wealth and greatness of all tho south and west,
it will increase tho prosperity of Galveston
and the groat state of Texas in a manner that
v. ill astonish tho most sanguine of all well-
wishers. Galveston, by nature, is not only
tho New York of the south and west, but she
is, and, on tho completion of tho jetty work,
will prove to be the greatest exporting and im-
porting port in America. Galveston wants
aeopcr w.ator on her bar, it is true, and Gal-
veston will have it, and have it soon, beyond
ail question, but in the meantime the fact that
Galveston has never known the day or hour in
all her history that she could not profitably
and in pcrfect safety handle oy water all
freights consigned to her caro for shipment
to any part of the world must not bo over-
looked or forgotten. Deeper water is not
wanted to create a harbor, for this Galveston
already has, but it will increase her harbor
advantages by admitting to her i>ort the larg-
est vessels afloat,
"What the enterprising and intelligent peo-
ple of the country should do is to come to
Galveston and investigate matters for them-
selves. Come and boo not only her magnifi-
cent harbor, lined with ships from almost
every quarter of the globe, but her immense
warehouses, tremendous piles of cotton and
other freight for shipment, with cargoes of
hananaa, oniini lomona and other traits,
received for distribution all over tho west anu
north; take a look at hor grand, great big
factories, and see tho raw cotton converted
into serviceable cloth; take a ride on Gal-
veston beach, the finest natural drive in
America; a sail on the bay; a day's rishiug
experience and n bath in the surf, which is
unsurpassed on this continent, and nothing
will ever shako their confidence and nride in
Galveston. No ono over look* over the pros-
pects of Galveston without receiving a favora-
ble impression. Her citizens are hospitable,
generous and ever stand ready to do their part
for the upbuilding of tho city. They will
join with capital from a distance in all enter-
prises that will bo of benefit to the city. Here
is found
TUB NEW LIFE,
which very much resembles that which mado
Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha and Denver tho
citics they aro to-day. And with it will come
a glorious future for the Island city. Gal-
veston has confidence, and well she may, in
hor industries, ficr resources, and above all, in
tho iutognty of her citizens. This may bo
denominated sentimental, but, all tho same,
very solid results aro manifest. Investments
hero not ouly promise to pay, but they havo
paid, aro paying now, and will continue to
pay. Tho policy of hor people is to promote
progress and perpetuate prosperity.
Galveston is not a boom city. Tho posi-
tion which it occupies is that of a metropolis
and trade manufacturing and financial center
of tho gulf coast. That position it has hold
ever since the couutry first had a trade, and
this position it will continue to
hold as long as the trade of tho country at
large continues. The re<jord of the past is al-
ready written and is beyond possibility of
question; the promise for the future is in tho
result of tho past. Would be rivals have como
tho gone, but noror, mo foe a tint, haa Gal-
veston ceased to grow in trade, industries and
wealth in exact proportion as the country has
settled and developed. Even now other cities
and other locations tor cities are claiming
rivalship, but seemingly without an effort,
cortainly without attempting to resort to the
boom method, so easily recognized else-
where, is Gnlvoston growing and hor
trade increasing. No city of corresponding
>opulation in America can make anything
iko the showing tho Island city can in all
branches of hor wholesale business, and. travel
where you may, you will find no city that
►romises a greater future or quicker and
larger returns to the investor than Galveston.
Her jobbing trado nlono has boon greater than
the combined trado of all classes of all tho
most ambitious of these growing cities com-
bined, and tho present is but repeating tho re-
sults of tho past, and now, as then, tho settle-
ment of each new section, the construction of
each additional railroad, the building of each
new city, town or village, each step forward
in development, of whatever kind or nature,
but swells the stream of Galveston's trado aud
commerce and increases hor wealth.
*HGalveston's magnificent seaport gives to
her tho position of tho metropolis of tho great
southwest. Before tho building of tho rail-
roads she now has, and whilst it tnay bo ad-
mitted that hor water transportation does not
do away with the necessity for railroads to tho
full anu complete development of the country,
the importance to Galveston and the great
southwest of her complete and extensive sys-
tem of water transportation can hardly bo over-
estimated. This natural outlet of hers offers, as
all must admit, a guarantee again-1 exhorbi-
tant rates, a guarantee which is not
all'ordod by any number of competing
lines, a port whose usefulness is not
diminished by the building of railroad:!, but
on the contrary, one that has and will con-
tinue to have a most important place to (ill in
tho best interests of tho great trans-Mississippi
country, as is fully proven by tho increase in
traffic as railroads are built. At tho present
time tho trade of Galveston by way of tho
gulf reaches to all parts of tho world, but is
only in part carried on by regular lines, es-
tablished for and plying only between Galves-
ton and New York and Galveston and the
Bluefields. Tho trado with England and tho
continent employs several hundred

same is true in relat ion to the trade with South
America and all other foreign uatious.
"If the time has over boon when any rail-
road, building to tho southwest, and bidding
for a share of its business, through and local,
could afford to terminate at u point other than
Galveston, that day is now past. As a result
of Galveston's rapidly increasing trade ami
commerce, new roads in tho near future will
be built to secure a portion of tho traffic cen-
tering hero, and Galveston will beeoino tho
point of destination and departure of
all trains on nil completed railroads,
not purely local, from tho great
southwest. Hosting on the solid foundation
she does, has Galveston attracted in tho past,
as sho will do in the future, those searching
for openings in tho line of legitimate business
and as a consequence a spirit of conservatism
prevails which has discouraged all unnatural
forcing of business enterprises or values and
kept both well within the bounds of actual
present and pressing demands. It may well
be doubted if this spirit of conservatism has
not at times gone too far and held back when
to go forward would have been safe, becuuso
more nearly mooting the demands of tho
situation in time. And it is probable
that had tnero been a little more of
that spirit which anticipates the future, and is
therefore fully prepared to meet it when it
comes, indeed aids its coming, Galveston
might have at this moment a population
double that which it now has and a trado aud
commerce much larger than at present. But
though it may bo doubted if Galveston has
gone too slow, tho records of its trado and
couimerco, as written in tho records of its
banks, counting-houses and factories, fully
prove that it has built as upon a rock, and if
the results are not ail they might havo boon,
they are of such magnitude as that thoao who
have not seen with their own eyes find it diiil-
cult to believe, though but half the story is
told.
"Galveston is a remarkablo success, and
therefore Galveston is anxious to welcome
within her borders the sturdy and industrious
home-seeker; anxious and ready for the in-
vsstment of capital in Ik r undeveloped enter-
prises, of which there are not a fow; anxious
to show the world what she is to-day and provo
what she will be when her advantages and re-
sou rsos aro more fully utilized.
"Capitalists and home-seekers are not only in-
vited, but urged to come and seo and investi-
gate lor themselves, and whether they take
advantage of tho wonderful opportunities for
making money as here presented or not. they
will Ctijoy the trip. It am much of a sertion of
country they now know but little about, and
at the same time be benefited by tho climate,
which far surpasses anything they cau possi-
bly imagine."

Street paving continues to bo
topic of conversation in Galveston.
Those who pay taxes aud those who do not
have been diligently discussing the paving
problem, and, like there is on every other
subject, a diversity of opinion exists.
Tub News man yesterday listened to a groat
many people talk about the motter and below
is appended what several of tho gentlemen
said:
W. T. Sherwood: Of course I would like to
see the entire city of Galveston paved, but I
am in favor of lirst paving Tremont street to
R. Then I want to seo Market street paved
from Twenty-fifth to Thirty-third street, and
Bath avenue to Strand and Mechanic. Then
Strand from Eighteenth to Sixteenth, and Six-
teenth from Strand to A. I favor tho paving
of theso streets that I have mentioned from
a commercial standpoint and strictly as a
matter of business. Then I want to seo Broad-
way paved, right and loft, I am in favor of tho
modern pavement, too. 1 boiievo ttiat creo-
soted pine is tho best material that can be
used. In my opinion cypress is no good, but
creosoted pine is out of sight when it comes to
a smooth sidewalk and durability.
Leon Bium: Of course I am heartily in
favor of paving Galveston. Tho metropolis
and deep water port of Texas should bo prop-
orly paved by all means. Which street am I
in favor of paving first? Well, I think tho
proper thing would bo to pave Tremont first
to R and then get on to beautiful Broadway,
which is one of tho main streets of Galveston,
and very justly the pride of Galvestouians. As
to tho material to be used, I am for tho
wooden pavement first, last and all tho time.
The wooden pnvoment is no experiment. It
has been tried and proved a grand success.
This being the case, why should wo discard it?
The woodon pavement is good enough for me,
and it is good enough for Galveston. In other
words, in my opinion it is the very best pave-
ment that we can get.
Prominent cotton man: I am in favor
of paving the streets of this city that lead to
the wharves and compr sses, and 1 favor this
solely and strictly on business principles. In
other words, I want to see tho business streets
of Galveston placed in such a condition that
the cotton and produce wugons will not get
bogged up in mud when they aro heavily
loadod and attempt to traverse these streets.
Sentiment is very nice as tar as it goes, but I
view this matter from a business standpoint.
Wo should provide the necessaries of life lirst
and then go after tho luxuries. Broadway is a
beautiful street and a great many wealthy
peoplo reside on it, but they can
get to and from their rcsidouces on the
street cars, and the beautifying of that street
will only add to the pleasure of peoplo who
take evening drives, and not l>encfit Galveston
a particle from a business point of view. We
have but little busmen traffic on Broadway,
while tho couimerco of Galveston is continu-
ally using Mechanic and Strand. As to the
kind of material to he used, I am for tho
wooden pavement straight out. We have
tested tho wooden pivemont, and 1 am in
favor of letting wed enough alone. Tho
main trouble «*ith a Majority of |>eo-
plo in this duy ami generation is
that they do not snow when
they are doing well. If you are doing busi-
ness with a man and he treats you right,whoro
is tho good tense in ranking a change simply
to try some other m&n when you do not know
that he will do as well by you? I am a great
stick lor for letting weil enough alone, and tfuit
is why I stand by tho old wooden pavement.
M. Sehlossi Young uian, you may put me
down as being in favor of paving Broadway
first, last and all the time. It is not only
(he most beautiful street in Galveston,
but it is ono of the prettiest
streets in tlw south and would be a credit to
any city in this country. It is tho pride of tho
citizens of tho Oleander city and it ought to
bo. Pavo Broadway first by all moaus and
then look after the other streets of Galveston.
As to the material to be used, I am for tho
wooilen pavement. Tho trailic in this city is
not very heavy and tho woodon pavement has
been tried, proving a grand success.
Henry Tou jo use: I am in favor of paving
Broadway first and last. I have no property
on this street, and I recognizo tho fact
that it is the most beautiful street we have, as
well as the main stroet. in the city. Why, sir,
you can reacli the whole city of Galveston
from Broadway without any trouble. It is
eutially located and should bothonrideof
every man who loves Galveston. When you
pave Broadway you not only havo a magnifi-
cent drive—something that every city should
have— but you have a street from which you,
can reach any part of tho city without tho
slightest trouble. Iu coso of tire the
engines and truck can tra*verso Broadway and
go with great rapidity to their destination. The
factories and other industrial institutions of
Galveston are of easy access to Broadway.
Pars it first, b> all mean*. Am to tho best
material to be used 1 am for the old fashioued
woodon pavement. It h ths beat and bmmI
durable, and, uniiko tho now tangled brick
pavement, docs not eat up tho wheels of
vehicles.
George Nichols—I believe that in paving
the streets of Galv 'ton the business interests
of the Texas hub r iiould be consulted. That
being tho ease, while I know u great deal
moie about the International and Great
Northern railroad than I do about street pav-
ii!g, it f>? i : ■ very t.'.vor.ibiy that th«
streets leading to the Galveston wharves and
factories should havo tho preference. It is
alt very well to nave beautiful
streets and smooth drives, but it
is more important to havo streets that cotton
and produce wagons cau traverse without i
going, like McGiuty, to the bottom of the sea.
After we got the latter, then we can afford to
go after the former. Judging from what I
havo seen and hi ard, though my experience in
such matters has been limited, 1 would select
tho wooden pavement us being thu Is/st and
most durable*
David E. Schoolfield: I don't know an I
havo any particular choico, but I would like
to see Tremont st root paved to the beach. 1
think tho wooden i avement is the beet. It
has been tried for twenty years anil has
provi 11 a K' I - M ecs*. 1! v c v.. re to out
down a brick pavoment tho chances aro that
wo would havo to repair it in about two years.
This being the case, 1 can see no good reason
for deserting the old wooden pavement.
ClmrlssG. < I: I am In fawr of pav-
ing, but it seems to mo that it would i>c a
greater exhibition of busim ss sense and acu-
men to pavo Mcchauio aud Straiid first, in or-
der to reach tho compresses and factories of
the city. 1 like tho woodcu pavement tho
best.
Henry Rosenberg: As you know, I havo re-
cently returned from a European trip, and
while ucio.vi the water I paid particular at-
tention to the | iv ng over there. The nnt ral
impression is that creosoted wood makes the
best pavoineut. In Franco, Belgium and other
places thu stone, brick and asphalt pavement
lias been taken up and discarded and tho
woodon pavement put down in their stead.
Col, Gredmin: 1 am in favor of paving
Galveston lirst, last and all the time. 1 prof or
to see Broadway puvod first, but if this cannot
bo done, then 1 am in favor of paving tho
next best street. I would also like to seo the
city send a committee of good citizens to the
towns that have brick paving, so that they
could personally examine the brick pavoment
and make uu intelligent report.
The high *table land in New Jersey, opposite
Now York city and between tho Hudson river
and the Haekonsack, has up to this time not
been used as generally for purposes of pleas-
ure and residence as it should have been. This
elevated plain, known as tho Palisades, is at
its beginning some 150 feet above high tide,
and is over a mile wide at tho same point. It
stretches north for many miles up the Hud-
son river and naturally rises in elovation as
it proceeds. This high land has boon accessi-
ble only by steep grados for wagon roads and
by moans of stairways which climbed labori-
ously up the stoop clilf. Tho Hudson County
railway company, which operates tho ele-
vated road at Hoboken and controls many
of the street car lines in that neighborhood,
has of lato years been extending these lines,
and increasing tho facilities for getting on top
of tho Palisados, and from ono part of this
high plateau to another. Tho most rocent ad-
dition to tho plant of this company has been
the building of hugo elevator's at Weokawkon,
where tho ferryboats from Forty-socond street
and Jay street, New York city, discharge their
passengers, and where also tho West Shore
railway starts north and west to Albany and
Butfalo. These elevators are the largest ever
constructed for passengers, and in planning
them the engineers have adopted new devices
to secure their safety against accidents. From
the elevators, which rise from the water's edge,
there is an immense viaduct or elevated rail-
road, which runs some 800 feet back to tho
hill, whore connections will bo mado with the
various steam and horse cars which will run
in ono direction and another.

THE SPY ON SHIPBOARD.
The Schultei.3 Walking Dologato Typo of
Public Official.
Now York Evening Pout.
Herman J. Schlutcis, the United States
special commissioner of immigration, who on
Monday mado wholesale charges against all
the steerage passengers of the Servia, and a
personal and outrageous chargo against ono
young woman among them, had an oppor-
tunity yesterday to sustain his accusations be-
fore his four associate commissioners, and
failed to do anything of the kind. "It had
been supposed," says the Tribune, which,
as a friend of the administration, is
disposed to deal as gently as possible with
Schulteis, "that tho rather erratic commis-
sioner, Mr. Schultcis, who came homo in tho
steerage, would follow out his threat and make
a sensational speech. He did nothing of the
kind, and the meeting was a peaceable one."
Tho Tribune also says that tho "Swodi.ih girl,
against whom Commissioner Schultcis mado
charges of immorality, has boon forwarded to
her destination in Michigan. She is to return
he-o again shortly, it was said at tho Bargo
office yesterday, and a suit on hor behalf may
bo begun against Commissioner Schultcis for
defamation of character." According to tho
reports of othor papers Schultois astonished
everybody by denying that ho had made
charge against any particular girl, or had
mentioned any particular person as being im-
moral.
1 hat he did bring the charge against tho
girl, giving her name, nationality and place
of destination is unquestionable. How else
did hor name with the charge get into all tho
newspapers yesterday? A more thorough-
ly ruffianly proceeding it would be diffi-
cult to imagine. It would be outrageous
enough had it been committed by a private
citizen, but when the person guilty of it
is an official of the United States gov-
ernment, the offense becomes ono which the
secretary of the treasury, who is responsible
for Schulteis, ought to tako cognizance of
without delay. Surely the United States gov-
ernment does not wish to maintain the j>osi-
tion of sustaining iu office aniau who defames
the character of a helpless girl and compcls
her to bear tho cxj>ense of legal pro-
ceedings in order to establish her in-
nocence. Schulteis ought to bo compel-
led to retract his charge, apologize publicly
for having made it, and ought to be removed
from office without delay. There is no excuse
for delay. Tho immigration bureau of this
city has examined all his charges, including
this one against the girl, and has pronounced
them unsustuincd by evidence. That
amounts to a verdict of wilful lying and mis-
representation upon Schulteis by a tribunal
which is not only tho most competent to pass
judgment, but is also a creature of tho llar-
risou government.
Wo reproduced yesterday, from our Wash-
ington correspondence of last July, facts
about Schulteis which were sufficient to
»how his thorough unfitness for tho work
to which Secretary Foster asbigned him.
Ho !>elongs to the walking delegate typo,
l»euig ono of tho restless, lazv and easy-
prmcipled adventurers who seek to gain a
livelihood without working for it by joining
labor organisations nnd pushing themselves
into salaried positions of ono kind or an-
other. He thrust himself upon Secretary
Foster and decoivod hiin into thinking that
he had formidablo labor backing, and that
his appointment would, therefore, l>e "good
politics." He seems to havo lied about his
hacking, for all the labor organizations re-
pudiated him as soon as his appointment was
announced.
To send such a uinn as this abroad to swag-
n r through various European ooontriss as
tho agent of tho United States govcrnuiont,
and to return home disguised as a steerage
piflssnfsr, < xploding in the newspapers on his
arrival here a batch of foul charges which ho
is utterly uuablo to sustain, is an extraordi-
nary proceeding on the part of a civilized na-
tion. The men who are responsible for it be-
long to tho political party which professes to
have a monopoly of everything truly Ameri-
can, yet what a picture of American intelli-
gence ami character they present to othor na-
tions in this Schultcis opisodo!
From first to last the administration has
had nothing but tronbls with this spsolal im-
migration commission. The idea of such a
commission was inspired by tho belief that
Amorican labor, which has been so long hum-
bugged by republican assertions that a high
tariff mado high wages and a low tariff mado
low WtflSSi could bo Htill further hum-
bugged by a cry that immigra-
tion ought to be restricted in order
that American labor might lie guarded
against the competition of a flood of pauper
laborers from Europe. One of tho commis-
sioners who was first appointed, ox-Congress-
man Grosvenor of Ohio, was forced to resign
b- CSUSS he offended thoussflds of republican
voters in western states by mailing an indis-
criminate attack ujK»n all Amorican citizens
of foreign birth who continued to speak thoir
native languago. It was suddenly discovered
that a cry for restricting linmigra-
gration would cost tho republican party
thousands of votes in tho north-
west, and Grosvenor hail to retire from
the commission as a sacrifice. Thon Schul-
tcis was put upon it in the belief that his se-
lection would bo pleasing to labor, but no
sooner was he appointed than it was discov-
ered that ho had lied about his itnportanco as
a representative of labor. Now he has shown
startling plainness that ho is not only a falso
aud unworthy representative of honest and
honorable workingnicn everywhere, but that
he is nothing better than a wholesale aud in-
discriminate Hlanderer of immigrants seeking
homes in this country.
It should bo said of Secretary Foster that ho
is tho victim of a vicious systom in making
this unfortunate selection, a system which per-
mits tho picking up of roving adventurers iii
tho stroots and making them govornment in-
spectors of some kind. Secretary Manning
got into difficulties when he made Byrne a
special agent of tlie treasury and turued him
loose in the New York customhouse.
A Gentleman With an Orb in Mourning.
A Oanine That Loved Water.
Othor Matters.
A few evenings sinoe a well dressed gentle-
man walked into the International and Great
Northern passenger coach a few moments be-
fore tho train pulled out.
His left orb was a beautiful jet black and
swollen to twice its natural size. As soon as
ho entered the car ho became the center of
attraction.
After struggling manfully with conflicting
emotions for a fow moments ho got up and ap-
proaching a party of gentlemen who were eye-
ing him said :
^ "Gentlemen, I've got a pretty eye, haven't
"Well, yes," answered one.
"No uso denying that?"
"Well, hardly."
"I'll not."
"I had onoof the samo kind aboui two weeks
ago," began another in a patronizing way.
"Fell against a bedpost in my sleep."
"I blackened mino one time chopping wood
—chip Hew up and stru» k me."
"That reminds me." This from a third.
"I got one ono timo in a peculiar way. 1 was
fooling with a friend ."
"Well, gentlemen. I didn't get mice in
any of these ways," interrupted tho roau with
his eye under a cloud.
"No?" in chorus.
"No, sir. I'll not deny it. I'll admit it. . I
got hit. She got the best of me. My w ife, I
mean. Don't sympathize with me. I don't
deserve sympathy. I am a rank fool. I knew
she could get away with me beforo I married
her.
"When we were engaged sho could put mo
on her shoulder. But I'll have my revenge.
I'm going over to Houston and get dead drunk.
Desperately drunk! And then I'll go homo and
kick her brand now pug dog all over the
house. That's what I'll do. O, no! I don't
deny it. Sho gave mo tho eye; but I'll get
even."
And ho walked forward and resumed his seat
in silence.

"Talking about Sol Smith Russell, the
comedian," yesterday observed Mr. H. P.
Kane to a News man, "if you don't think ho
is ono of the boys and a high rollor in all that
tho word implies, then you are badly mis-
taken.
'He is ono of the greatest comedians on tho
American stage and his uniqueness and orig-
inality is something wonderful, but for all his
saintly and unsophisticated looks,ho is far from
being akin to tho young man who hails from
wayback or any other rural district. Why,
bless your soul, he is a sport from up yonder,
aud one of the gamcst and shrewdest ones you
over saw.
'When ho was in Galveston two or three
years ago he mado tho velvet-pawed tiger tako
to the woods after extracting his claws to the
tuno of several hundred scudi, and ho has
done tho same thing in other towns.
Tho fickle goddess of fortune smiled
on him to the extent of $1500
in Dallas once to my knowledge, and all dur-
ing the sitting ho gave tho boys tho benefit of
the song "Wait Till tho Clouds Roll by."
"However, tho grout comedian didn't tarry
long in Dallas, as he had other theatrical en-
gagements to fill, and tho urbane artist who
t opposite him is doubtless waiting yet for
o clouds t<
i to roll by."
A party of gentlemen were yesterday stand-
ing iu front of tho Tremont ojiera houso dis-
cussing thu wonderful instinct of animals in
general and dogs m particular, when an old
west-ender came up and, after listening a few
moments, said:
I s'pose some of you remember that bob-
tailed brindle dog I used to own? I gave him
away half a dozen times, but he always
turned up again. It was published in The
News once how I gave him to a man in
Hempstead and he blindfolded liim and took
'Was
asked ono.
"Ho was, as I afterwards found out."
"Good lands, man, but you don't pre-
tend to say ho found his way back from
there?"
"I certainly do."
"Do you know where those islands ate?"
"I do."
"Do you know that your dog would havo
had to swim u distance of several thousand
miles to reach the nearest land?"
"I do, nnd it's right here I want to say that,
while that 'ere dog wasn't worth powder to
blow him up as a traveler on dry laud, he was
tho all-flredost animal to swim that ever stood
on legs! That's just why 1 wanted to got rid
of him—the infernal idiot always thought ho
was born for a fish instead of a dog, and I had
to keep tho cellar full of water for him to
piny in."

Hon. W. H. Craiu, congressman from this
district, is at the Tremont.
The gentleman was taken with a hard chill
at Velasco and became quite ill on tho train
while on routo to this city.
He arrived yesterday in company with
Mayor Fulton and wife and was carried to the
Tremont hotel, where ho is under medical
treatment.
The Antics of a Tama J ay.
Forest and Stream. •
Among tho birds which my children raised
this year is ono which gives us more pleasure
than I ever experienced. It is a blue jay, and
he is the most cunning plumed fellow you can
think of. I had to clip his wings because ho
would not stay in a cage, but likes to hop and
flutter around tho house. He is not afraid of
the doers, will hop around nnd about them, sit
on tho head of a big bloodhound and yoll nt
the top of his voice just for mischief. He defies
all tho chickens if they try to take some food
away from him. I suspect his terrible warcry
scares them. He will sit on our shoulders and
hands and beg for food, but as soon as his ap-
petite is satisfied ho takes what more are of
fered him and hides it away in some nook.
Sometimes he will put it down in my vest
pocket or under tho collar of my outing shirt.
Water he likes exceedingly well, and shows
signs of disgust if without his regular bath;
and lo! how ho will jump in when the dish pan
is filled with fresh, cool liquid—drink, dive,
splatter and yeli for joy. Then out ho goes to
the sunny lawn and lies down on one side
fir.-:t, spreading tho opposite wing, then he
turns over to spread and dry the other side.
He will also take dry sun baths in tho sam
manner.
If nobody is around he will perch on a cha r *
on the porch and sing; and ho can mug right
well in a low voice, ihiitating othor birds.
His efforts to talk aro also remarkable.
Everybody in the house loves him, but we
havo to keep out of his reach everything that
glittors and is not too heavy for his strength.
This, of course, is tho inherited vice of the
corvine tribe, and the only complaint I can
raise against him. The ladies don't liko him
to enter tho house, as he will leave marks of
his existence. But taking it all around, I can
highly recommend to lovers of pet birds to
raise and taine a young bluejay, as it will cer-
tainly bo a source of great pleasure to them.
