Ycttho <.n at Orator nml Lawj'er Enjoysu Princely Income A Man of Sir.iplr Tastes and IMeasiiiB: Manners--Carefully Prepared Addresses. , (Siiecial Corresi»ondcnce.] New York, Sept 20.—Colonel Robert G. ItiRersoll is to bo found in a unit of rooms near the top of ono of tho tallrst buildiuK-4 on Wall street. Their ceilings tiro quito low; their walls are crowded with law books; tlioir floors, ntatle of hard wood, have neither carpet nor rut: to break the sound of footsteps. Tho desks and chairs arc of tho ordinary , type. Nothing in tho rooms given any indication of an occupant with a largo

income.

Although no ono but Mr. Ingersoll himself knows precisely what that income is, friends somewhat familiar with his affairs estimate it to bo from $50,000 to $100,000 a year. So much money would easily enable him to rival tho luxury of th • offices of come New Y’ork lawyers, hut ho appears to prefer plain surroundings. It is a curiors fact that those of his home aro not unlike those of Ins offices. Although his income is large, ho i known to have very effective menus of getting rid of it. He is a generous man, giving to all Itcggars, whether hig or little. Then, again, ho is prone 1 i yield to tho solicitation of promoters of schemes, and without investigating these schemes as !:,• ought he puts hi i money into them. As a consequence, ho often iinds himself out of

pocket.

It is not cji ca-iy matter to find out what Colonel In;;t r.-ol 1 is doing. He is very much averse to talking about him self. In fact, nothing can ho eliciMd from hint directly regarding the matters that occupy his attention. Ho is not susceptible to the flattering argument that its a man that has attracted attention by hie ability as an orator and lawyer people, particularly those who sympathize with his well known views, aro interested in learning all that is possible about him. Ho sternly refusi s toposo as n great man or to eat or to tin* popular taste for biographical detail Ho docs not think that ixeplo am worth writing about until they aro dead, and not then even unless they have done something to make them worth remembering. Colonel Ingersoll is not, however, an unapproachable or a reticeut man. While tho practice of his profession is exceedingly exacting of his time and strength, he never refuses to sec a nows

If his visitor is interested in science, ho will talk about that, or, in history or religion, ho will talk freely on that subject. And ho will manage to make himself very entertaining too. But ho refuses to permit tho publication of anything that he says unless it bo in his own words, verbatim et literatim. His theory is that no man, however honest and painstaking, can reproduce exactly the ideas and language of another without being a shorthand writer. 8o if tho interviewer cannot write shorthand Colonel Ingersoll will, if he has anythiug to t.ay to tiie public in print, ask for a list of questions, dictate his answers to his own stenographer and furnish a copy. Some of Mr. Ingersoll’s intimate friends, with whom he sometimes talks about his work, are not so averse as he is to personal disclosures. “I was very curious to learn, ’ ’ said one of these friends, “how he wrote his lectures. I had an idea that they did not cost him much effort, so I mustered up courage ono day and asked him. I learned, much to my surprise, that he spent a good deal of time on them. Ho works very hard to get the right word, one that will not only express his idea, but give the proper rhythm to his sentence. Some paragraphs in his lectures have cost him many hours of the hardest labor liefore he get them into the right shape. There is nothing unprepared or spontaneous in I ts writings or public utterances. ” While Colon* 1 Ingersoll is, as tho world a rich iimu, he is known to iv.-ard tho millionaire with some pity if not contempt. “A great fortune,” he onoo se.itl in the v.'iiter’s prc.-enco, “is a heavier and more ridiculous load than tho old man of the sea. A man hud better 1 ii d( id than rich. ” It i s of course easy fur Colonel Ingersoll to talk in this way. J le )ms plenty of money and doubtk s finds it a great convenience, “if ho were to re member,” said a friend after hearing Ids opinion, “that $.70,000 in equivalent to an income on $2,000,000, he would see that lie, too, belongs to the despised class of millionaires.” Colonel lugcrsoU’s household com-prii-ss, la sides his wife and her sister and his two daughters, the husband and two children of one of the daughters, and two cousins. He is devoted to his home and family and cares nothing for society. Ho has a house on Fifth avenue and a summer homo on the Hudson near Dobbs Ferry. N. \V. P. nt>r.(!'aiitacs of Itapiil Transit.

A TINY REPUBLIC. Its NoV'ce to a IJSk One to Mind Its Own Business, [Special Correspondence.] Paris, Sept. 11.—The message received tho other day by the republic of Franco, tho largest in Kuropc, from the republic of Andorra, tho smallest in tho world, was a surprising thing. It was instigated by a Spanish prelate and possessed other qualities than that of bring a surprise. It was amusing and at tho same time significant, and while it cannot be said to have been important in tho sense that would attach to such a communication if Andorra were a larger state, yet tln ro is likely to be considerable diplomatic correspondence before tho hist word is heard about it. The republic of Andorra has a populatiou of but 0,000 souls, and it is because of its numerical insignificance, coupled-with the unique physical characteristics ( f its location and territory, (hat it has been able to preserve a virtual independence since the time of the “emperor with the long beard, ” Charlemagne, who gave it its autonomy. It is situated in a narrow, secluded vale, high up in tho Pyrenees, that noble range that divides France front Spain. All about it aro high rocky mountain walls, which at points riso into imposing pine clad peaks, that stand war it and ward over the handful of men and women who live and toil below. Over th(' territories of France and Spain the rod tide of war has surged back and forth. Waged between the two fiery nations, it has reached across the range more than once, but through it all, when thrones have crumbled and dynasties have changed, Andorra has been at peace. Its people, simple in their lives, primitivo in their thought, have been corib nt to let the outside world worry and tight, while they have attended to tlu ir own small affairs. As in matters of war, so it has boon in mental and material things. Andorra lias slept while tho world has rushed by, and tho Andorrans of today transact their affairs, eat, sleep and clothe themselves as did their ancestors of hundreds of years ago. Only at rare intervals lias tho outside world even remembered that there was an Andorra, and then it has almost 'always been only because some writer of books or maker of pictures h; 3 sought out tho vale and made known some of the quaint things there and nowhere else existing outside tho realm of fancy. Although possessing autonomy with regard to internal affairs, certain of Andorra’s outside matters have always been controlled by a sort of joint suzerainty between France and Spain, the former’s control being direct, while that of Spain has been through the bishop of Urgel. It is ho who put up tho Andorrans to send tl.o message spoken of, wherein Franco was notified that in future she must cease to mind tho afi'airs of her small neighbor. Its people feel now, they say, that with the bishop’s help they can get along very well alone. Two or three years ago this same bishop of Urgel declared that not elegy a ph w i re cou 1 (1 pass over A i idor - ran territory, for he hold tho telegraph to be an invention of satau. Just how this matter turned out I do not remember, and perhaps few others outside those directly interested do either, for hurrying men of affairs have more important matters to think and worry and talk about. Tho bishop’s authority, it will be observed, is well nigh us great an that of a monarch, and it is quite likely that ho controls the elections. In that case ho is its much of a boss as even was Mr. Croker of New York, of whom Paris has heard recently. The bishop’s influence and that of his predecessors, however, must have always been salutary, for we aro told that crime Inis been unknown in Andorra since the close of tho seventeenth century. The people still speak with something Jliko awe of the last instance. It was the outcome of a love affair and was not a very heinous offense. Lawsuits seem to ho almost as rare as crime, an*l there are but two notaries in all Andorra. They receive small fees for their services, but all other public duties are iterfermedgratuitously. All able bodied adult male Andorrans aro nominally members of the army, so that the republic has quite a military force, but its martial duties are light, tor the last recorded engagement occurred more than 1,000 years ago. The state is governed by a select council of 24 members, elected each year, and a president, chosen for life from among the oldest and wisest men. From this it will appear that great respect is paid to age This is rendered moro apparent even by tho fact that the oldest member of each family is its nominal and actual head and is obeyed implicitly by all tho others. It is to be hoped that tho recent action of the council in cutting loose from France will not tend to destroy the almost ideal and wholly quaint customs and life of tho people of tho liny state. Baron Sartor. The New Guns Are I'angcrous. Some interesting articles have been published by The Vossische Zeitung on the small calilx-r guns and the researches of various profe.-vurs as to the effect of wounds made by theso guns at different distances—effects that arc. horrible, Tho conclusion is that in any future battles there will be incomparably more dead and severely wounded than ever before in the world’s history. And as tho now guns shoot far the treatment of tho wounded on the battlefield and their transport to tho hospitals will bo much more slow, difficult and danger-

Anrrpy World’* Fair Officials. The British exhibitors arc complaining bitterly that the medals of honor awarded at tho Chicago fair have not bom received yet. One of them writes to the London Times that lie has been informed that they have not even been designed yet. He affirms that he is unable to get any information from the British cotumissioiier or tho fair officials.

O great and all wise Grover, once more wo thank thee for thy tiniiutifiil goodness toward us. O great master, we thank thee for tha privilege of putting sackcloth upon our backs tind of sitting in ashes and of eating thy free trade soup. O great master, we know that thou speakest in parables to ns, for hast thou not said in one of thy speeches that wheat would be worth $1.25 per bushel, and that wages would be high if we would only make thee our president? Now, great master, it is all clear to us that thou speakest in parables, and that thy meaning was that, when McKinley and I teed should be elected in 18‘J(1, then wo sh midst receive a high price for our wheat and high wages for our labor. But, great master, we love, thee still, for wo know that when thou art done with us that we will he fit subjects for a dime museum, there to earn plenty and rest in peace. () great master, wo know that the Breckinridge scandal has grieveS tlno sorely, and we know that when thou act grieved thou goest a-fishing in Buzzard’s bay. O great master, tho supply of thy Cleveland badges is running short.’ The season of the howling blizzards is approaching, end we have iu«t the wherewithal ton place thy badges. O great master, we know thou hast often told us that the road of a free trader is a hard road to travel in this country, but l h <i is lie that enduretli to the i nd, even though his friends be not able to recognize him. If thou wilt only veto this Wilson bill, we will (and by thee firmly till ISOfi. Then \\ 3 will hurrah loudly for McKinley and Reed. () great Grover, we aro growing thin upon the subs anco of things doubtful and things m.’ seen. Wilt thou not do something, O great master, hi fore thy term of ofit--e (.nst expire, for then thou wilt be a nobody, a nincompoop with no power ai 1 not able to do anything. O great master, what is congress doing? Is it steeped in the Silurian m. t of partisan prejudice or hidden by the vapor rising ’midst its pampered intagination. It has blown its trumpet long and loud, but it has done us no good. O great master, has this great cc ugress which was on thy hands dropp'd through the crater into the mire and stuck there? Of a truth, master, there is but little danger that aiclnoologi' 1 research will ever unearth its lomdy habitat, for is it not true, O Grover, that only the crudest fossils exist in that lower strata? O great Grover, that free trade song which thou has sung is but as a chcs' - nut. It has been sung and sung and sung again with variations. Yea, vorilv, it has been sung time and time again until all tho people have grown weary of its dull monotone. t) great master, why hast thou not done something in these long 18 months of our weary wait, thou who hast had to bear with the lean of thy kind? It would even be a merciful act, () great and good Mr. Grover, to drive us from this earthly existence, for we are longing, longing, longing for it change. Joun D. Winn. Independence, Or.

Varlt-Kutrfl Hardy 1*1 ant.. Those who enjoy variegated hardy plants should not he without the tricolor leaved sycamore maple, a variety of Acer pseudo platanus. Most varie- t gated leaved trees lose the variegation during the summer. This does not. The | contrast of colors is feebler certainly, but still emphatic. The early variegation is a rose color, cream color and green; hence tricolor. The later variegation is cream color upon dark green. Every leaf is differently marked— speckled, splashed, lined and blotched. Some are marly all en am color, otlurs nearly all dark green, some half and half, no two exactly alike. If wo were obliged to choose between any one of the Japan maples and this variegated European sycamore, we would choose the latter, even though the Japans were fully hardy, says Rural New Yorker. Saviug Old Apple Ore liar da. A met icon Cultivator lias the following to say concerning old orchards: If nn old apple orchard is composed of trees that have sound, vigorous stock:-, it i-. well worth caring for, even though it bears only poor kinds of fruit. It does not take more than three or four years to i--graft such an orchard into the best varieties, and it is then much more profitable than a young orchard likely to la 10 years after planting. But the trees that have decayed trunks ; should at once Ik) either dug or cut out. Most old orchards have many such trees. But the removal of these specimens is not a loss, but a gain. All tho ! old orchards were planted much too ^ thickly and will produce more and b. tter fruit when one-half or more of the! tins are dug out, giving moro room and sunshine for the remainder.
