Sketch of the Versatile and I net hods Dr. Cornelius Hera. [Special ('urrespondence.] Chicago, June 14.—A nyent cable mcssuKc from Paris aanoanced that a new ortfaimation of the Panama canal scheme was imminent, the financial nucleus of the plan lieinR a sum of money amounting in all to upward of 5,000,000 francs, disgorged or to be disgorged by some of the vultures who profited so richly by wholesale robbery of the comjiany treasury at the expense of thousands of honest stockholders throughout Franca Almost on the heels of this news has come another statement that the French government means to force the extradition of the great lobbyist and plunderer. Dr. Cornelius Ilerz, who has skulked so long in England as a man at the point of death. It is not probable, however, that this resourceful genius, who has shown himself such a past master in the fine art of chicane that even Wall street and the board of trade could not furnish his match, will permit himself to he easily trapped. Chicago people are interested in the versatile and uuctnoos Dr. Her/., for in his younger years, before he had attained his malodorous fame, ho was a familiar figure in bohemian circles in this city. Many of the older journalists and physicians will recall him without difficulty. He was a unique personality even in those callow days. He came to Chicago from New York in 1872 (his old father still resides iu the latter city, or did very recently, in extreme poverty, supported by the alms of his Hebrew friends) and was then known as Dr. Hart He had recently graduated from » New York medical college and had considerable talent for his profession, which, however, was made worthless by inveterate indolence and passion for pleasure. As he had but little practice, his only honest means of livelihood were a small stipend he was said to receive from his New York relations and a trifling salary as inspector of the board of health. But this meager support the gifted doctor eked out by his brilliant gifts as a financier, notable even at that period. His success as a borrower wtA phenomenal. His suavity, which would never recognize an insult; his audacity, which was sword and shield; his seductive cunning and plausibility, were simply immense. He would beguile a heart of flint To do him justice, however, he was tut free in spending money as he was ingenious iu obtaining it. He wns lavish to the last "bawbee” in his pocket in relieving the wants of those worse off than himself. I first met Dr. Herz (then Hart) at a monthly dinner of the International club, an association representing so called advanced thinkers and largely made up of socialists. Here the wildest theories were discussed with enthusiasm, and in the turmoil of dispute the doctor's voice was always the loudest in Quixotic assertion of the rights of man, the last to propose the valedictory song of "Le Bonnet Catton, ” which always ended these intellectual and vinous revels in the "wee, sma’ hours.” His qualities of good companionship were fascinating, and he could tell a story or sing a ditty with a gusto that made him very popular. So it need scarcely lie said that he was much liked by the jolly bohemian crowd in spite of certain financial methods which his friends excused as piccadillos. I remember one thing in my own acquaintance with him which throws some light on the man. He was passionately fond of pleasure and a most devoted admirer of stage divinities. There were at the time two quite famous dansouses performing in the "Black Crook. ” One of these, who has since become a noted actress, was the temporary enslaver of Dr. Herz or Hart, and as she was on the eve of departure for San Francisco he was quite heartbroken. He rushed into my room one Sunday morning with wild eyes and disheveled hair. “Lend me $250, old man, for heaven’s sake!” was the first shot fired in a tone of despair. "I must accompany Emily at least as far as Halt Ljike City. She has a proposition of marriage under consideration from a rival.” My answer to Cupid’s victim was dryly unsatisfactory, and I saw no more of him for two mouths. He then turned up as abruptly us he hail departed and told me he had started on the train with his goddess with only $10 in his pocket He had innnngcd to beguile free passage even on the Pullman car out of soft hearted conductors. He had been deadheaded at the Ix-st caravansary in Frisco, and, to cap the climax, had succeeded in borrowing $500 on the sole security of a honeyed tongue ft-om one of the leading bonifaoos of the Pacific capital. He rehearsed this oomedy wth an innocent and beaming self complacency which was delicious. Chicago, splendid a field as it has always been for a daring adventurer, was too small for this genius. He left in 1878 for New York and was there appointed on the staff of a great Jewish hospital Obliged to leave for some escapade, he tietook himself abroad, and it was not till his name cropped up iu connection with the Infamous Panama canal scandals, whan the investigation by the committee apjxiinted by the chamber of deputies occurred, that his American acquaintances recalled the man or learned anything of his subsequent career. The lust time 1 met Dr. Cornelius Herr (he resumtd his German or Alsatian form of cognomen when he returned to New York) was in that city. He was then engaged, or profeaeed to be, to a charming young lady of a wealthy Jewish family there, bnt whether he married her at all or whether Rho is the present devoted wife who has nursed him so tenderly ot Bournemonth one cannot say. He was a matt seductive follow and could make any one, man or woman, fancy black was white. Yet no one who knew him there would have suspected him, sagacious as he was, of a genius for rascality so magnificent us he displayed iu re Panama. U. T. Fiotaia.

London, Jane 18.—Dr. Percival. master of Rugby, preached in WestmitiBter abbey last night, taking as his text “Ain I My Brother's KeejierV” In the conreo of his sermon he referred to Lord Rosebery and horse racing, and said that the whole world appeared to have taken Cain’s words as a motto.

llirrh Bar:. Shoes.
Shoes and other articles besides baskets and cabinets arc manufactured from birch bark by the Russian peasantry. The bark from which those articles are made is from the inner skin of the Russian birch tree, common in almost all parts of the empire. It is gathered spring and fall, and the process is a very simple one. An incision is first made around the trunk of the tree, and the peasants have a knack of tearing or unwinding the bark from the shirting point, which gives them a strip of even width that they wind into a ball and keep through the winter until it is dry
enough to use. It is then made into purpose is the
shoes, baskets ami other useful articles. The barks shoes are universally worn by the Russian peasantry. Other shoes used iu winter are made of sheeps’wool. These are manufactured by itinerant cobblers who travel from house to house, using the peasants' own materials.—
