AM ENTERPRISING BOOTBLACK.
Ho MnlJrfi Money I'noucli to llrlti
His Mother and Urotlicr from
liusstu A tifiotl Son Itnit
ly Trontod.
Txol more than two years ago, says
ZThe Cincinnati Enquirer, n young litis
ian Hebrew appeared tiputi the streets
ntthia cily. lie was ovidcnlly from llio
lowest class of his race in Busso-Po-land,
but bad n native fihrowdness
jind business adaptability that quickly
made lilm friends. Ilo was soon out
s a bootblack, nnd rapidly worked
liimsclf into a largo trado. Many
-woro attracted by his story, and re
garded bini willi more than the cus
tomary nickel. In brokon English,
with a strong accent, ho explained that
not liking affairs at homo ho had work
d his way to one of the German ports
nnd llnally secured suflicicut money to
t.ako steeraero passage on ono of the
cheap lines for Now York. From that
city no driftod west to Cincinnati. His
father had bcon arrested in the old
country for countcrfo.ting. and was
still serving a long term of imprison
ment in ono of the Russian minos.
Great talcs had reached his people of
Iho riches in America, and he eonelud
rd to emigrate and scok his fortune.
It was his ambition to bring over his
liltlo brother, give him an education,
and place him In business. All this
was told in a simple, truthful way that
impressed Itself on the listener and
made friends for tho indomitablo little
itrugglor with such a worthy aim. His
name, ho said, was Loizol Dub, but on
account of tho intensely carroty color
Tf his hair ho was dubbed "Hed" by
Jho general public, and his other name
got entirely lost in tho change.
About eight months ago "Red"
icciiinil to beentiui unusually nluascd.
and informed his friends that he had
raised the funds and sent them to Rus
sia. In a few days his brothor would
arrive. Suro enough "Red" soon np
pcarcd with n socoud but much smaller
edition of himself. This ho introduced
with prido as his brothor "Sam." Tho
ifittlo Russian know not a word of Eng
lish, but "Rod" took him under his
fostering care, taught him tho language
word by word, until in a few weeks
Sam was ablo to branch out as a doaler
in nowspapors and rival in ontorprisu
Slio toughest of these gamin tradesman.
When lio arrived Sam was clad strictly
In tho costumo of tho old country, but
by Jdegrecs "Rod" thoroughly Aniorl-T-auizcd
1dm in this regard, and seemed
to lake groat prido in Tils little brother's
neat nppcaraneo. Sam, as soon as ho
had acquired sufllclont command of tho
English longuo and this did not re
tqulro many months disappeared from
Iho streots. "Roil" seemed to enlarge
Jus territory nnd to work harder than
ever. Ho could be found all over the
sitj, nnd was n familiar liguro at tho
summer and fall excursions. Ho In
formed those, who were curious enough
to inquire that lie had placed Sam in a
ichool on Liberty street, where ho was
doing well. Tliero was always a rumor
that "Roil" had money, but nothing
direct could bo obtained from his lips,
although ho admitted ho had n bank 110
sount, and "it might bu over $100."
It was known that ho was most frugal
m all his necessities, and regularly laid
tisidu a curtain sum weekly.
Yesterday camo a startling episode in
MtedV oxporlouco. Ho sought coun
sel of attornoys, nnd on their advice
iworo out a warrant charging his
mother, Anna Dub, with oniboz.loniont.
It wns then learned by outsiders for the
Jirst tlmo that when "Red" brought
iiam over ho did tho same favor for his
mother. Sinco then the family have
been occupying departments paid for
$ml furnished with "Rod's" money.
'"Red" also established his motlior in a
jiows-stnnd on Fifth streot, after turn
tag over to hor nil his saving, amount
ing to $100, which he had deposited In
Jsank. "Red" found out in some way
ihat his mother had gone wrong, anil
that she had boon accompanied on tho
rbip by a lover from tho old country.
IThia lover pays his mother frequent vis
its nt night, while "Rod" was away at
work w.th his brush and box. Every
day'H receipts wero turned over to the
woman, until "Red" had given her
aver S?G00. Yesterday "Rod" hoard
tho was about to leave town, and he
tfotorininod to take notion so as to got
possession of Sam. regarding tho mother
us an unlit custodian of the child, now
10 ear n of ago.
Mrs. Dub was found lato yostorday
ulicrnnou at her stand by a constable,
mil Inl. on before Squire Bright. Shu
raised n terrible eeitemunt, and was
'ollowul by a largo crowd through the
streets. At tho Squire's olllc.i tliero was
i large audience. Recriminations were
passed between mother and son, tho
latter bitterly reproaching tho woman
Tor tho way she had treated him. Ho
told tho squire the story of Ids wrongs,
ami how, before ho had sent over the
pxssage money, ho had forwarded S'-'O
vcry mouth for the support of tho fam
ily. Finally ho ollbred to compromise
lor $!500, sho to pay tho costs Mrs.
Dub wantod to give tip only $200, but
when told tho jail was staring her In
tho face, reached into tho largo sleeve
f her dolman ami brought out a fat
ookot.book containing six $100 bills,
fclio reluctantly handed three to hor
on' lawyer and was rolonsod on her
own recognizance to appear noxt Mon
day bororo tho squire, Tho $300 will
bo deposited to "Red's"1 credit.

GHOULS OF THE PRESS.
How Tlioy Abused tlio Tntlicr of llln
Co tin try.
Those who regard President Clovo
land ns tho lirst chief magistrate who
has been vilified by the press are Ignor
ant of history, writes Ron: Porloy
Pooro in Tin: i'liiladcliihin Times. Tho
spirit of defamation began when the
man blamed the woman and tho woman
blamed the serpent. In all lands the
public and private characters of chief
magistrates nave been assaulted, ami
no man, living or dead, was ever more
cruelly mali-rncd or outrageously dc
famed than Gconro Washington. Let
mo adduco but a fragment or two
from tho mass of scurrulity noapeii
upon him. He was denounced as "a
traitor" for his proclamation of April,
1793, declaring am ty witli the bcllig
eront powers of Europe, and warning
citizens ol ttio united states against an
movements inconsistent with neutrality.
For this plain act of duty under his
oath lie was held up to public scorn, he
was accused of hostility to trance ami
focrct favor to England; and. :is one of
the results of this denunciation, at tho
opening of tho third congress in this en
suing December the administration
candidate for speaker was defeated by
nn cmnhatie maioritv.
The Aurora of that dav said: "If
ever a nation was debauched by a man
the American nation lias been debauch
ed by Washington. If ever a nation
was deceived by man tho American na
tion lias bcon deceived by Washington.
Lot his conduct, then, bo nn example to
future ages. Let it servo as a warning
that no ninn may become an idol. Let
tho history of tho federal government
instruct mankind that tho mask of
tiatrlotism may ba worn to conceal tho
loulcst designs ngainst the liberties of
tho neonle." In a letter to Henry Lee,
under date of July 21, 1793, Washing
ton spoke of tho violonco with which
his policy had been assailed. "But in
what." he says, "will tills abuse ter
minate? For the result, as it respects
mysolf, I earo not, for I havo iv cousola
tion within that no earthly efforts can
deprive mo of, and that, is, that neither
ambition nor interested motives havo
intlticnccd my conduct, and tho arrows
of malevolence, therefore, however
barbed and well-pointed, never can
roach tho most vulnerable part ut mu
though, whilo I am up as u mark, they
will bo continually aimed. Tho publi
cations in Freeman's and Ruck's papers
are outrages on common decency."
When, on ono occasion as Jefferson
tolls us, Knox made soma allusion to
recent libels uttered by tho press.
Washington became very much exe.ted,
"got into ono of thoso passions when
ho can not command himself; dwelt
much on the personal abuse which had
been bestowed upon him; dolled any
man on earth to produce ono singlo act
of his since lio had been in tho govern
ment which had not been done with the
purest motives. He had never repent
ed but once thu having slipped tho
moment of resigning his otlico and
that was every moment since anil by
God. ho had rather bo in hisgrnvo than
In his present situation. Ho had
rather bo on his farm than bo made
emperor of the world, and yet they
were charging him with wanting to be
a king. That rascal Freeman sent him
three of his papers every day, as if
lie would become tho distributor of
them an act in which lio could sou
nothing but an impudent design to in
sult hiin."
On tho second day after Washington's
retirement from tho presidential chair
tho following appeared in The Aurora:
"Lord, now lettest Thou Thy survant
dopart In peace, for mine eyes havo
seen Thy salvation," was tho pious
ejaculation of a man who beheld a
ilood of happiness rushing in upon
mankind. If ever there was a time
which would lieonso the reiteration of
this exclamation that time has now
arrived for the man who is tho source
of all tho misfortunes of our country
is this day reduced to tho level with
his foilow-oltizons." Such diatribes
against tho foromoit man of the nation
show that personal vituperation is not
a modern weapon.
A Sleeve Uutton for a Seal.
Thu Washington Critic tells on tho
authority of Chief Clerk Drown, of tho
state department, this story, which, it
says, lias not before been printed.
Whun the treaty of Washington was be
ing signed at the stute department by tho
representatives of Groat Dritalu and
the United States in the little room of
the prosentWashington CityOrphan asy
lum, tho Mnrqultf of Ripon, Lord Tcn
terdon, Earl Grey and the American
members ot tiio eommWsiou, among
Ilium lion. E. Roekwood Hoar, wore
present. Lord Tentenleu had signed
the pnpnr and followed this up with af
llxing his seal, which ho wore on his
watch chain. Tlion.turntngtoMr.Honr,
the English nobleman asl.od, "Ihno
yxiu not a seal or a family crost that you
will attach to this document?" "1
have a sleeve button, sir, which will
answer the purpofC. but thus far my
family lias boon destitute of any other
insignia.'' Thorn was a laugh at tho
expense of tint Dntishor, and turning
back Irs coat sleeve tho American
scaled his uauio with ids cuff-button.

"I havo just como front I hat pa nfnl

a correspondent of The A'banj Argus,
"How incongruous and improper it
was, for instance, to discover that tho

Watching a Rear Hunt in a Mirror.
In 1815, ns John Minto had to go up
tho Columbia river, ho took passage
with an Indian chief who had some
thing of a retinue. There was a sub
chief, who lookod after things of minor
importance, and a dusky maiden, to
whom old ru-l'u JUox-aiox, who was
then a great chief and was destinod
ater to fall in battle incommaudof tho
combined forces of tho inland empire,
showed verv devoted attention. There
were also sovar.il slaves, who drove
the canoes with their paddles for
motivo power. Somewhere on tho
grand river, whon among the ranges
that lower above Capo Horn, Aim to
noticed that tho Indians acted very sin
gularly and rather suspiciously. They
stopped the canoes and looked down in
the water intently. Then two slaves
and a sub-chief got into the smaller
canoo and started to cross the rivor.
Suddenly Minto "dropped on it," and
saw what the Indians saw. It was ono
of thoe beautiful transparent dins
when tlio air and water are us clear as
crystal. The sun of autumn either had
not risen so as to reach the doM canon
witli its rays, or had dropped behind
tho western hoighiy. Anyway, these
heights wore rcileeted so perfectly on
the surface of tho river that the In
dians had watciicd the mountain sides
as they paddled along. The causa of
their strange action was seeing a bear
on a high ridge across tho river from
them outing horiHU. llio two slaves
took the fusees and crossed the river to
attack. They climbed the bluff, took
aim, llred, missed, and the bear ran
away ho was not hurt. All this Minto
saw on tiio river surface without strain
ing hia eyes to tho mountain's summit.

False Hair null Headaches.
A mombor of the medical profession
is credited with tho statement, says
The New Graphic, that the
practice of physicians lias been con
siderably diminished within the past
few years by a certain change in femin
ine fashions. Tho change referred to
is in the matter of wearing false hair.
Although It is still worn to a considera
ble extent the custom of loading down
tiio head with a heavy mass of false
colls and braids is a thing of tho past,
mil those who still resort to tho habit
indulge in this form of "beautilication"
to a very moderate extont, confining
their capillary increment cliiolly to tho
friz.os and bangs of any lightness that
wave about their foreheads, and upon
the slightest provocation shed tluun-
Holvod in generous profusion ovor thu
surface of llio voting man s new winter
overcoat. In the age of hoavv chignons
tho sronoral prevalence of severe hea.l-
uelios, pauia in the nock, weak cvcj,
soalp affections, nnd a dozen other
feminine ooinplaint wore d rectty
traceable to the custom referred to.
Now they have for tho most part disap
peared, and authorities say that wo are
to have a healthier and more robust
race of women in the future. It is re
marked, however, that tho loss of
practice, resulting from this change of
fashion to tho medical profession has
been partially compensated by the in
creased use of cosmetics and tho evils
resulting therefrom. Thus, as far as
actual gain is concerned, it proves to
be six ot ono and halt a doaen ot the
other, and shows that the ago of folly
is by no means et at an end.
