Marshal Ransdell. of the District of Colombia, Announces Ills Deputies. Fpeclal to t!ie ImuanapoHs Journal. Washington, Aug. 31. United States Marshal Kansdell to-day appointed a number of deputies, bailiffs and other assistants in his office. Among (the appointees was Maj. L. P. Williams, as principal deputy. Major Williams has lived in this city for a number of years, and has recently been an assfotant clerk in the office of the clerk of the court, lie was originally from Indiana, but lived in Tennessee up to the outbreak of the war, when he entered the army and served with distinction. John A. Leonard, another deputy appointed by Marshal Ransdcll to-day, also hails from Indiana, and has a record as a soldier, lie has been in the real estate and insurance business there for some time. Alfred Farley, who was appointed a messenger, is also an Indiana man. Glaring Land Frauds. Special to the IndlauapolU Journal. WAsnixcTOX, An. 31. The Indian Office here la Just now engaged in looking into some land frauds which are hardly of the same character as those which Mr. Sparks was so particular in pointing out during his administration of- the Land Office. A very peculiar case Is the Immediate causo of the Indian officers Inquiry. It seems that some two years ago R. L. Leather- . goo'd was appointed agent for the Eastern hand of Cherokees, ocated In western North Carolina. Last July Mr. Leathergood's service were dispensed with by the department, and he was succeeded by a Cherokee. This new agent reports that Leathergood, immediately -after his dismissal from the service, entered upon and took up ls3 acres of land within the Indian reservation. Less than two weeks after his entry he had, by some means unexplained, secured a patent for the lands from the State. Since that time there have been a great many entries of Indian land by whites on this reservation, and the Indian officers are anxious to know hy what right the state assumes the responsibility of disposing of Indian lands without any consultation whatever with the federal authorities. : New Interstate-Commerce Commissioner. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Deer Park, Aug. 31. The rrealdent to-day announced the long-looked-for and much-fought-over appointment of a member of the Interstatecommerce Commission, to succeed Gen. Francis A. Walker, who resigned to accept the chairmanship of the Interstate-commerce Railway Association, otherwise known as the "Gentlemen's Agreement." It will be rememembered that the Western commercial bodies made a great effort to get a transmlssisBlppl man on the commission, and united in recommending Judge Grof, of Omaha. The lucky man, however, is Wheelock G. Veasy, of Vermont Other appointments announced today are: John C. "W atson. of Nebraska, attorney for Alaska; Edward Mitchell, of New York, attorney for the Southern district of New York; Willis Vandevanter, of Wyoming, Chief -justice for that Territory. Work Awaiting; Secretary Tracy. Waeiiisgtox, Aug. 31. Secretary Tracy is ex I pected to return to the city Monday, but will probably be Invisible to callers until Wednesday. He wfll find several difficult problems awaiting settlement by him. In the first place, the battleship Texas, with her weights and displacements, disputing constructors and faulty plans, must be disposed of. The unaccepted vessels Vesuvius, Petrel and Charleston are to be passed upon, and there are a number of minor questions awaiting settlement that do not look, at this time, to be embarrassing. The cases of Captain Harrington and Captain O'Kane, who ran their vessel aground, are awaiting final action, the sentence of the former having been submitted over a month ago, and there are also pending charges against officials connected with the building of the new observatory. Hard Job for the Short-Hand Men. Epeclal to tli Indianapolis Journal, ' Washixgtox, Aug. 31. It Is quite likely that the State Department, or tnose having the arrangements under the State Department of the International American Congress in charge, wjll have great difficulty in furnishing the delegates with a printed report of the proceedings each day. This difficulty will arise trom the fact that the discussions are to bo conducted in three languages, Hpanish, Portugese and Erurlish. Spanls is an exceedingly dithcult language to report In short-hand, owing to the manv peculiar sounds, and the few Spanish stenographers that are in this country. The Date "Will Remain on Cigar Stamps. Special to the ImliauaroU J urnai. Washington, Aug. 31. The Treasury Department has declined to grant tho request of Estabrook, Eaton et aL, of Boston, that the department regulations be so modi tied as to dispense with the specification of tbe date of Inspection or cancellation on the Import and internal revenue stamps affixed to packages containing cigars. The object of the request, the department understands, to be tire demand for fresh importations of cigars, and if the date is affixed the purchasers can easily ascertain whether the cigars are Iresh or not.

TEMOROFTHENORTINYOODS

Eeimnnd Holzhey, Highwayman, Train Robber and Murderer, Run to Earth. Captured at the Little Town of Republic, in Korthern Michigan Story of the Gogebic Staje Eobbery and Other Exploits. Republic, Mich.. An;. SL Reimnnd .Holzhey, the lone highwayman, who has terrorized northern Wisconsin for five months past, robbing trains, waylaying stage coaches and holding up pedestrians, is in custody. He was captured here this morning by City Marshal Glode and Justice of the Peace E. E. Weiser, and will be taken to Bessemer to answer for the killing of Fiieshbein, at Gogebic, on Monday of this week. Holzhey confesses to all tho stage and train robberies. At 7 o'clock this morning Marshal Glode and Justice Weiser were walking down the street from their homes. When near the railroad depot they met a man dressed roughly and apparently anxious te escape attention. The Marshal was strnck by his close likeness to the description of the Gogebic stage robber and immediately stepped in front . of the man, saying, "I want you." The stranger whipped his hand to his hip pocket, but before he could draw a pistol was felled by Marshal Glode's billy, which stunned him. He was taken to the village jail, recovering consciousness on the wa3'. At the jail he was searched, and three revolvers, three gold watches, four pocket-books and other articles were found on his person. One pocket-book bore the name of lteimnnd Holzhey, the robber's name. He broke down under examination and acknowledged having committed the robbery of the Milwaukee & Northern train at Ellin Junction, last May, and the robbery at Lake Gogebio on Monday last. This last crime was an exceedingly bold one. A staee coach plies "between the Gogebic 6tation on the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western railroad and a summer resort hotel on Gogobic lake, three miles distant. On Monday last the stage left the hotel with a party of four men, who had been spending several weeks there. The members of the party were Donald Mackarchar, of Minneapolis, one of the officials of the First National Hank of that city: A. F. Flieschbein, of Belleville, 111.; Robert Rintonl, of the Bank of Montreal, at Chicago, and William Paddon, also of Chicago. At 11 o'clock a. m., as the stage was dragging lazily along over the road, its driver was startled by the command "hang on to the reins, and don't mako a single move at the peril of your life." There in front of him was the stage-robber, wearing a slouch hat and holding two immense revolvers, which he pointed at the driver. One of the prssengers adopted a trick to throw the robber off his guard. He had a considerable amount of money on his person, and did not want it taken from him. When the highwayman extended a general invitation to "cash in," ho nut his hand into his coat pocket presumably to get a pocket-book, but really got his revolver. He drew it and commenced firing at tho robbur, who stood his ground and returned the fire. The hnrsen lahpd nxenv nr. . rapid rate, but the robber continued to empty his revolver at the men in the coach. Mr. 1 lieschbein rose up in his seat and received a 44-calibre bullet in his hip. At the same time the coach gave a lurch and he was thrown forward in the roadway. Banker Mackarchar also fell a victim to the robber's murderous weapon. He received two bullet wounds, one in the left side of the head and the other in the leg. The robber pounced u:on his helpless victim in the roadway, shoved a revolver in his face, and threatened to finish him then and there. Flieschbein pleaded for his life, and the robber, after going through his pockets and getting $10 in money and a watch and a ring, left him lying bleeding and helpless in the road. He lav there nearly three hours before the arrival of assistance. Then he was taken to Bessemer, where he was put into a hospital and his wound cared for; but he had bled ho much that his strength was sapped, and he died that night, having first furnished a good description of th? highwayman. Mr. Mackarchar was taken to Minneapolis, where, at last accounts, he was said to be on the road to recovery. It is believed that the robber is the same man who recently, in the boldest manner, held up the Northwestern and Wisconsin Central trains. As soon as the news of the robbery reached Ashland, Sheriff Foley and posse started in pursuit. They were soon joined by a mob under Judge Lynch. A pack of blood-hounds with their Indian trainers were also broncrht i nt.ft rpnnieition. All avenues of escape were cut off . 1 A At . ana a sysiemetic man nunt was begun, ending this morning, as above stated. Holzhey came here last evening and put np at the Republic House. The police officers in all the towns up here had been furnished with a description of the robber, and when he entered the Republic he was at once placed uuder surveillance on the suspicion that he was the man wanted for the murder and robberr. The Mpmpr finthorities were telegraphed to for further lniormation, . out up to an early hour this morning no response was received from them. Marshal hnA resolved not to await word from them, but to maKe tno arrest, being fearful that if he delayed longer the man might escape. Among the pocket-books found on Holzhey was the one that ho took from Flieschbein, the man whom he killed and robbed when he held nn the stace at CJnffehirv nrwl wViinli contained letters and papers bearing Flieschbein's name.' Another pocket-book. eviucnxiy Deionging to w. v. uecelle, .No. 408 Sibley street, bt. Paul, was recovered. There was also a 14-kar.ithiinrincr.'tBA stem-winding gold watch, the case of which was made by tho American Watch Company, the movement being a Wheeler, and No. W1934. The man admits that he took the watch from Flieschbein! Another of the watches is a low-karat gold watch, hnntintr-casa and stem-winder, rson n 12U3, and Raymond movement, No. 282,fCl, made by the Illinois Watch Company.

His story was an interesting one. Neat Scheme of Capture. Marquette, Mich., Aug. 31. Ilolzhey is a man of slight build, sallow complexion, bronzed hy exposure, and a manner that suggests the feline quaduped alert, active and desperate lie was brought to this city at 2 p. m. to-day ana incarcerated in me county jail. To the Associated rress reporter he said he made for the thlclr woods Immediately after the stage robbery. lie pushed rapidly eastward. lie struck the Duluth, Soath -Shore & Atlantic railway about fifty miles west of Nestoria. There he .boarded the train and rode to Champion, the northern terminus of the Milwaukee & Northern. Republic lies about ten miles south of Champion, and to that point Ilolzhey made his way on foot. He applied at the Republlo House for lodging and was assignee! to a room. It was about O o'clock vesterdav afternoon when he arrived there. He ate supper, and p.n hour later was shown to his room. The landlord observed a striking harmony Kith the description of the Go treble stage robber, and informed the village marshal, who had also been notified hy E. E. Weiser, a Justice of the peace. Weiser had met the man on the street, and also observed his appearance closely. Entering his ofr.ee he scrutinized the printed description, and was by that time fully satisfied of the pedestrian's Identity. He notified Marshal John (J lode, and torether ther went to the hotel. Finding the landord already suspicious, their own suspicions were confirmed, but they decided not to disturb the stranger in his room. They were certain that he was well armed, and would shoot if disturbed. It was therefore considered best to wait until morning, and a plan or capture was quickly determined upon. Ilolzhey arose at 6 o'clock, ate a light breakfast una paid his bill. He had a checkered quilt rolled up and bound with a small rope. In this improvised grip he carried a change of clothing and a small bottle of oil. rjllnging the bundle over his shoulder he started o?T. Intending to make for the Wisconsin lumber camps. Officers

Glode and Weiser were awaiting his appearance on the street. They were dressed in citizen's clothing, to avoid arousing suspicion. As Ilolzhey approached them they walked toward him.

apparently engaged In earnest conversation and paying no attention to the stranger at alL When tney came near they parted to allow iioizney to pass between them. 3fo sooner were they abreast " than the offlcers seized their man, one at each arm and shoul der, and threw him to the pavement. Ilolzhey struggled, and tried to reach his hip pocket, nearly succeeding in doing so. At that moment policeman Pat Whalen came up, and with his sties gave the prostrate mm a rap on the head, which quieted him, and be made no further resistance. The hand-cuffs were then applied, and the terror of northern Wisconsin and. Michigan was secure In tbe hands of the law. The foregoing statements were gleaned from the prisoner and the otlicers themselves. Some of Holzhey's Daring Exploits. . Chicago, Aug. 31. Postofllce Inspector Pulslfer Is one of the men who was in the hunt for the Wisconsin stage robber who was captured this morning. Mr. Pulsifcr's home is In Pulsifer, Wis., and he knows all about the highwayman who is known as "Black Bart, the lone highwayman of Wisconsin.' In an interview, Mr. Pulsifer said: "I must say. Black Bart Is the cleverest woodsman in the Northwest. His proper name is Relmund Holzhey, aud his home is in Pulsifer, Wis. His first atteinptrat stage robbing was in April last, when he held up a stage going from Pulsifer to Fimonds, on the line of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore A Western road. At that time he apFteared with a red handkerchief tied over his ace. He shot tie horses and 'went through the passengers, a poor lot, and got nothing. The secona was more fruitful, for ne secured the mail pouch containing several hundred dollars in money and robbed the passengers of $50. One of them had $$00 In currency, but the robber failed to get it "His third aaay was made on the stage running from Shewano to Langlade, on the Menominee reservation. Two pas sengers were robbed of 9'20, and a mail pouch containing some money, was secured. Again Black Bart tuckled, unaided, the stage on the Milwaukee & .Northern railroad line and robbed it An hour later he robbed the train. During all this time he was holding up wayxarers passing through, the woods or tne uogebio country. Following his train robbery ho entered Bonduel, a village in Shewano county, and 9, mnelled Phil Cann. proprietor of a general merchandise store, to deliver the money in the" store safe. This amounted to $80. He also got a gold watch anl chain. lie was unmasked at this time, and was fully recognized by Mr. Cann. His next exploit was the robbery of the Wisconsin Central sleeper, which he rounded off hv murder in robbing the stage of the Gogebio Lake line. 'Black Bart' is a German boy. twenty-two years of age. He was born in Germany. He is polite and pleasant in his manners, and is of square build. He always carries a knife and revolver. He took the life of a robber as the result of reading dime novels, over a hundred of which were at one time fouud iu his room." Marshal Glode Will Get a Nice Purse. Milwaukee, Aug. 31. The rewards offered for the capture of the noted train and stage robber aggregate about $3,500. The Wisconsin Central Railway Company offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the man who robbed its train near Chippewa Falls; the United States government has a standing reward for the arrest of the Shawano mail-robber; the Milwaukee, Lake Shore fc Western Railway Company offered a reward of $1,000 for the Gogebic stage robber, and there are several other rewards which amount to $500.

Those who have never traveled over tho Northwest can have no idea of the vast area which the prairie and tim-, her fires have covered. Starting away up in. British Columbia, In the Koutcnai country four1 weeks ago, owing to the parched condition of the : country, no rain of any consequence having fallen for nlnetv davs. the fire spread with creat rapidity, passing south through Montana Into Idaho, extending into Washington and Oregon and tho west, then south again into Wyoming and Colorado. Montana, perhaps, has suffered the most, as the nro ran along through the prairie country to the Dakota line, crossed the main divide or the Kockles, set the bitter roots aflame, worked into the mountains near Phillips, destroyed the timber and did great damage in the National Park. But if the prairie fires are dis astrous the forest nres are doubly so. Granville Stuart, one of the best authorities in Moutana, estimates the loss by these fires in Montana at $100,000 a day.

Oysters sent here from the East in a 'fresh" state for local consumption are generally dead when they get to this city, and are most assuredly anyining out anve uy the timo the consumer sets hold of them. Many contrivances have been invented for keeping the bivalves alive while being shipped across the country, nut the only successful nlan is said to be that recentlv patented hv A. A. Freeman, of Philadel phia. By this nlan an oyster may be taken from the Atlantic and shipped to this coast and have at least twenty days of life vet remaining after his arrival here. His method is simply to bind the oyster with a single strand of wire, and on this plain contrivance Uncle Sam has granted him two letters patent. The invention merely keeps the oyster from committing suicide by opeulng us mourn ana letting in too great a volume of air. It is said that a syndicate is about to buy np the Pacific coast for "wired oysters," as they are called, and that depots are to be established all over the country for the distribution of live bivalves, it being claimed that they will be in as fresh a condition as when first taken from the ealt sea.

Grocers BOYHOOD ON THE FARM. A Life with a Bright Side That Is Always a ' Pleasure to Remember. Written for the Indianapolis Journal. An active life of over forty years, most of whicR has been devoted to helping boys to become good men, has confirmed me in the belief that, as society is now constituted the sons of farmers are the fortunate boys of our country. This good fortune is en hanced by living a considerable distance from even the villages. "God made the country, but man made the town," ie an old adage, bnt a true one, and for these reasons: The country boy lives closer to nature. He learns to "look through nat ure np to nature's God." Instead of "street Arabs" for companions, his companions are the domesticated animals. No harm ever comes from such - companions. The dog is usually made a metaphor to represent meanness. And vet it is true that the dog is the embodiment of some of the noblest of traits. Ills hdelity to man is positively sublime. If our hu manity possessed xnoro of the characteris tics of the dog the world would be the better for it. 1 nity the man who has never known the frinaship of a faithful dog. Then the farmer's boy acquires an intimate'knowledge of the wild animals yet left in tho woods about his home, lie learns their habits in a way not to be learned in books, lie becomes a naturalist, lho plumace and sonc of each bird that tills the woodland with musio are familiar to him. He learns to hunt. He constructs his own traps and rarely kills himself with a irun. Scarcely has he donned his pantaloons till he learns to ride horseback. His father never has the care of "breaking the colts" to ride or to work. The farmer's boy manages this department. li there should be good "matches" among the calves of the herd, he constructs a rude yoke and makes them do his bidding. He uoes not use tne aaimy sieas soia in tne city stores to hitch behind buggies and 6leighs to be pulled along tho streets. He makes his own sled, selects the highest hill in the neighborhood, and enjoys a sport paper. A farmers boy is familiar with "forestry." lie knows at a glance every kind of tree in the woods. He learns to swim at "the old swimming hole," so that when he has an opportunity he can swim rivers. Above all he learns to work. That is his vocation. Even when the school term begins he does not cease to work; for he must hurry home to do the "chores." The schools in the country are not so long as in the cities, but the country boy learns as much in four and live months as tho city boy does in twice I the time. I do not make this assertion finm Iiamw T lr T-i iT7 Ta a t ft u an1 " ing the stock, sawing and carrying in tho wood, milking the cows, have the happy eflect of making his evening study the more pleasant. At the age of fourteen the country boy is "self-supporting." He may not have learned to smoke cigarettes or swear, lie may be dressed in plainclothes, but he has rugged health, and can "down" in a wrestle his city cousin . many.years older. He never learns how to make his living selling fruit or boiled eggs at the trains, but he knows how to plow and handle horses. He may never have attended a theater, to hiss and jeer from the galleries, but he can play "base ball" and go home to help his mother and thus lighten her burdens, lie reads but few books, but he knows more of the his tory of his country than boys in the cities. But to many farmers' boys there is a shady side. One of these is the abuse of Ben Franklin's maxim, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Soiuo farmers retire at sunset and rise long before dawn. "Nature's sweet restorer, lalmy sleep," is deprived of her rights. Boys arc hustled out of bed at an outrageous hour. They are sent to the barn to rouse the sleeping horses and other stock hours before there is any need of it, I recall neighbors who considered it a discrace not to eat breakfast by candle or lamp-light. Their hobby was "earlyrising," and yet, I know they accomplished no more work than others who kept more sensible hours. I further observed that.upon reaching manhood, their sons left the farm, disgusted, and went to the cities, where they conld get respectable hours for sleep. Farm life, to them, had been a drudgery. The home circle, of evenings, they had never known. Just here is found one of the chief causes why so many boys leave the farm. If farmers would observe proper hours, if their homes were made more pleasant, if their sons were provided with good books and papers, if they would but allow enough sleep to "knit up the raveled sleeve of care," their sons would not seek other'vocations. There is no reason why farmers should not be as "well read" as merchants in the cities. Their sons are entitled to the same culturo as city boys. It is all wrong to disgust their children with farm life. Ben FrankH j is credited with saying that the hours f f c sleep should be "six hours for a man. even for a woman, and eight for a fool." If such were true I would most certainly join the "fool club," and trust to the consequences. Farmers' boys should strike, if not for the "eight-hour law," at least for ten tours of work. Excessive labor, with no mental culture, brutalizes human nature. Human beings should not be made to toil like like the ox. Country life has many charms which ishould be enjoyed. Its sports are of the rarest kind. Poets have sung in rapturous strains of these. John Howard Payno made himself immortal when he wrote "Home, Sweet Home," and it was i country home he described. George P. Morris was born in a city, but his "Woodman Spare That Tree" was prompted by a visit to a country home with a friend, who asked him to turn aside and visit his birthplace. When they reached the spot they found the occupant of the old homestead making ready to cut down the old oak that shaded the home. Morris's companion protested in the words of the poein. He paid for the tree, and it was preserved. There is ho home like one in the country. There is no boyhood like on the farm. But it must bo

freed from this delusion of "early rising,' and "toil, toiltoil." Youth needs recreation; manhood needs it; old age needs it. Home life in the country must be made bright and happier if we expect farmers' boys to remain on the farm. I plead for this. Let but the farmers' sons have their just share of life's enjoyments and then we will no longer see this nocking to the cities. They will follow the plow as did their fathers, and with Payne, they will sing, "Be it ever so humble, there is no place liko home," on the farm. T. J. Ciiaiilton. Brazil Women Beautiful, but Illiterate. Detroit Free Press. Society in Brazil is divided in three distinct classes the aristocrats, the middle and the lower classes. The ladies of tho upper class are undeniably beautiful. They have raven black hair, white teeth, and perfect forms: and if it were not for the enormous amount of plaster-of-paris enamel with which they cover their faces they might have lovely, creamy complexions. But their wondrous eyes are tbe chief and never-ending charm large, dark, lustrous and full of expression, throwing more meaning into a single glance than an hour's conversation could possibly convey; for though attractive and captivating in their simplicity and grace, they may not be ablo to writ a single sentence correctly for the education of women is not considered essential to tneir happiness. They learn embroidery and music indifferently, and spend their lives in rocking-chairs and hammocks, never reading a book of any description. ' The girls are very fond of their dolls, taking them everywhere they go, even to church, and nover give up playing with them until they are manned, which is generally between the ages of twelve and sixteen years, thus early assuming the important and responsible duties of life.

San Francisco 8petlaL Fire on the farm of v George Thurman, situated five miles north of Pomona, CaL, brought him singular good fortune. To stop tho progress of the h'ery monster, which, was fast devouring his stubble-held, he ploughed a furrow, and in doing 60 he turned up a tin can which would hold about half a gallon. Ho heard something rattle in it, but on account of the lire could not at that time pick it up. The tire quenched, he returned and picked up the can, which was terribly rusted and dillicult to open. He found upon opening it a large quantity of gold doubloons of a date previous to 1S41, and several nuggets of gold. There were also several letters written in Spanish in an excellent state of preservation, dated March. 1S57, and one in English dated 1804. The nuggets were found to be worth $60, while the doubloons amounted to $6,410. Tho letters, which contain no full names, gave no light as to who buried the gold, but that it was buried hastily there can hardly be any oubt on account of its short distance from the surface of the ground. It is possible, also, that the can could not bo found thereafter by the person who hid it. A Woman with the Iron Cross. Boston Transcript It was thought until recently that Miss Clara Barton was the only American woman who had received the decoration of the Iron Cross of Prussia, but it has conio to light that the same honor has been conferred upon a lady who is a native of Lexington, Mass., and now resides in this city. Though an American, her name is Mary von Olnhanser, as she married a Prussian, who is now dead. Mrs. von Olnhanser Berved in tho civil war as a nurse, and later served in the same capacity for tho Prussians in the Franco-Prussian war. For her skill and bravery Emperor William I the old Emperor) gave her an autograph letter of. thanks and three decorations, among them being the famous Iron Cross. This is a Maltese cross of iron. A narrow border of silver is seen a short distanco from the edge. Within tho boYder the cross is enamelled. Upon the obverse side is a crown raised in silver and tho monogram W. A.'MWilhelm-August); Upon thereverse the red cross appears in the center in enamel, bordered with a delicate line of white. The ribbon is in the familiar black and white of Prussia. Strange Career of a Literary Protege. Current Literature. Mr. William Ernest Henley, whoso verses have just been published by Scribner, is a Scotchman, a literary protege of Robert Louis Stevenson, and the editor of Scott's Observer. He is one of the men who have had literary greatuess thrust upon them, and he has paid a fearful physical price for his mental development, lie began life a a laborer, unconscious of latent intellectual power, unversed in the primary elements of education, and a man of dissipated habits. He mot with a terrible accident, both lower limbs being crushed beneath a bowlder, ami while at the hospital for treatment met Kobert Louis Stevenson, who was also a patient at the institution. Then commenced the mental existence which has led him through the stages of newspaper correspondent, art editor ana magazine contributor to the rank of poet. His limbs are still completely paralyzed, and he does all his work in an invalid chair, out of which towers his massive blonde head, set on a magnifaceut pair of shoulders. His conversation is brilliant, and ho counts his friends among the cleverest and most brilliant literary men of Lon don. The "Water Cress. York Sun. The water cress Is a weed, pnre and simple.
