There is 10 much to tell about our father that I hardly know where to begin, writes Laura K. Kluhards in tho SL Nicholai.

First, you must kuow something of bis appearance. He was tall and very erect, with the onrriuge and walk oi a sold lor. Ills hair was black, with silver threads in it; his eyes ot the deepest and brightest blue. I ever saw. They were eyes full ot light; to us it was the soft, beaming light of love and tender ness, but sometimes to others it was the flush ot a sword.

He was handsome; in his youth ho hud been thought ono of the hondsomest men of his day. It was a gallant time, this youth of our father. When hardly more than a lad, he went out to help the brave Greeks wh wore fighting to troe their country from the cruol yoke of tho Turks. At an age when most young men were thinking how they could earn most money, and how they could best advance them selves In the world, our lather thought only how he could do most good, be of most help to others. So he went out to Greece and fought in many a battle beside tho brave mountaineers.

Dressed like.thom in the "snowy chemise and, the shaggy capote, he sharod their toils and their hardships; slept under the opon stars, rolled in his cloak, or sat over tho 'camp-fire, roasting wasps strung on a stick like dried cherries. The old Greek chieftains callod him the beautiful youth, and loved him. Once he saved the life of a wounded Greek, at the risk LIVE STOCK MARKET. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. Receipts, 600 'cattle hogs.

Many years after, he showed this hollow to Julia and Laura who went with him on his fourth journoy to Greece, and I told them the story.

When our father saw the suffering of the Greek women 1 and children, who wore starving while I their husbands and fathers were fight ing for life and freedom be thought that ho could help best by helping them; so though I know he loved the fighting, for he was a born soldier, he came back to this country, and told all that he had seen, and asked for money and clothes and food for 'the perishing wives and mothers and children, Jjb He told the story Well and put his whole heart into it; and people listen to a story so told. Many hearts beat 7 in answer to his, and in a short time he sailed for Greece again, with a the luterests of the party. In point of nu merical strength, the party Is tue or any In the state.

was re moved from his vast near Lem-berg to an asylum for the insane in Dobllng, at his own about eight years ago. About five months later his death was announced. It was said that he died in tho night, and the properly drawn certificate of the physician was to the effect that death was caused by heart In Ihe morning after the night when the death was reported the other physicians saw that tho closed coltln was carried to the family burying ground and there interred, without haying beon opened in the presence of the millionaire's iriends. The hoir of Mionczynski property, Count Nico-dem Potocki, took possession of tho estates. The departed nobleman left neither wife nor children.

About tho middle of last December the tenants of the count were astonish ed at midday to see the bent figure of a man '-exactly resembling Casimlr von Mionczynski pass along the road. The old man 'spoke to all in a voice that recalled visions of their former landlord, and most of the peasants fled in superstitious fright from the sound. Hardly less fright was caused at the castlo when tho old man sent in a card bearing-the words, "Casimlr von Mionczynski. When Count Potocki met him the old man explained that he had given the physician who gave out his death certificate at the asylum and conducted the mock funeral $5, 000 for (lis part in the plan and promised not to reveal the fraud until after the physician's That event had been) announced, he -said. And he, therefore, had returned to his 'estate the old man said he had taken securities for about $5,0,000 abroad with him and had lived on the interest His object in all this remarkable performance was to discover, he said, how his heir would administer his property after his death.

That story was treated rather gingerly at first by Count Potocki, but the discovery by disinterment that the coffin from the asylum had been empty Increased the suspicion of truth aroused by the old man's personal appearance. The old man's story of his wanderings under investigation, and meantime hois inquiring into the properly, which he claims as his own. The editor of the Dzionhik Polski is sure that the old man is Casiniir von Mionczynski and many Lemborgers believe so, too, but Count Potocki says that he will concede nothing until tho tracing of tho old man's wanderings is completed. A Fortune In Store lor Someone. No chemical black ink has yet been mado which will write black immediately on exposures.

The common black ink is mado of nut galls, and is by all odds tho best ink ever mado. Manuscripts written in this black ink 500 Or 600 years ago are just as legible today as when first written. The chemical inks of tho present are of too recent invention to dotormino whether they will last, Jbut it is quite probable that most of them will be as legible at the end ot fifty or seventy-five years as they are to-day. There is, however, a fortune in store for tho man who will invent a chemical black ink which will write black at the first and remain so. Globe-Democrat.

A Mysterious Mar. Algol, the variable star in Porous, has long been a mystery. Its light remains constant for two and a half days. It then begins to fade, and in less than four hours diminishes to an insignificant star, remaining thus for about twenty minutes, when it regains its former brilliancy. It has long been suspected that a dark body revolved about Algol, and which, coming between us and that star, intercepted more or less of its light Underpaid.

Washington, May 2a. The anti-option bill received ita first defeat in the house yesterday, on a motion of the author to go into the committee of the whole for the consideration of revenue bills. The anti-option bill was the first revenue bill on tho calendar in the order of consideration and the committee, by a tie vote of 108 to 108, refused to take up the measure of the gentleman from Missouri. 'This action is by no means vital in its effect on tho bill, as tho measure merely retains its place on the calendar, 'subject to another motion of like portent by Mr. Hatch at a subsequent date.

Whenever the house proceeds to the consideration of revenue bills the anti-option bill will bo the first one taken up and as it is the intention of the ways and means committee to call up other tariff measures during the present session, there Is little doubt tho bill will finally have its day. The house then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Buchanan of Virginia in the chair, on the post office appropriation bill. Washington Notes.

Ha Had a Hard Tuuls With a Worm, But lis Got There. 'An angle worm is smooth one way and rough anothor, like a beard of wboat," said tho professor, and it's funny to see a toad bundle one. Peo ple generally don know how smart a toad is, and maybe a good many will bo lnollnod to doubt this little story about a toad and an angle worm, but it is true. 1 was up a troe one day, a fow years ago. and two or three friends of mine were watching the work.

Pretty soon a big toad came hopping gravoly out ot tho weeds near by, and made his way toward tho spot whore I was digging, knowing that thoro would be a chance to get hold ot a worm now and then. I asked my friends it they had ever seen tho toad leal and as they hadn't I told them to watch, that ono and I would show them something funny. "I throw him a worm, and the suddenness with which he snapped it up 'and smallowed it always head or smooth end first, and the ludicrous solemnity of hinj in doing it, convulsed my friends with laughter. By and by I turned ud the bisrsrest earth worm I ever saw. It was ono of those black follows with a pale ring around their neck, that actually look as it thoy bad intelligence.

This one was six inches long, at least, and you could see the scales on him; I tossod this big worm to the toad. The toad eyed it a moment with a serious air, exam ined it critically until it had assured itself on the important point ot which was its head and which its tail, and then with a flash and a flap of his funny tongue, sent the worm head downward into his stomach. But the worm was several inches longor than the toad, and tho latter nippod his jaws together and held the worm, which writhed and twisted itself about, winding several coils around the toad's neck. Tho toad waitod patiently until the worm uncoiled itself for another gyration, and then guiped half an inch or so more of it down its throat There were a good many half inches in the worm, and the process of gulping it down was not only slow, but. tiresome to tho.

toad's jaws, so much so, in fact, that the toad could no longer hold the worm tightly in the grip of its and it begun to work its way out of the toad's mouth. Tho toad would swallow a little of the worm every now and then, but the wriggling thing was gotting more of itself outsido of tho toad than tho toad was getting down, and it would have been only a matter of a few minutes before the worm would be all the way out it it hadn't been for the toad's superior wisdom. "I had boasted of the toad being more than a match for most any creeping, crawling, or hopping thing, and now I began to fear that this one was about, to belie my words, when I saw with delight that he was equal to the Occasion. He nocked his head on one side as the worm was wriggling and writhing out of his mouth, and seemed to bo thinking' ot what was the beat thing to do. Then he suddenly brought his right foot up against his clutched it and the worm insido of it and held the.

worm firmly there, so that it couldn't work its way out any further. Then tho toad made his gulps at his loisure, absorbing a little more of "the worm each time and each time taking up a reef, so 'to speak, in his stomach with his claw, until he had swallowed the entire worm, when he looked around with a positive smile on his faco, winked solemnly two or three timos. and hopped away among tho weeds. If You Have a Carriage. At a Brooklyn entertainment held at a club house not long ago, a novel means to call the carriages was adopted.
