The Japanese Bull.
Little Grace—I’ve heard about the
American eagle and British lion and
Russian bear, but I never heard what
animal Japan has.
Little George—The bull, of course.
Everybody has heard of the bull in the
China shop.—Good News.
A Mare’s Suicide.
I owned a mare once that commit-
ted suicide, said a Cincinnati man re-
cently. She had a colt of which she
was more than usually fond. One day
the colt fell into a ditch and broke its
leg. The animal had to be killed, and
its mother was inconsolable. She
would whimper and call fox* the colt,
and, when it failed to come, nothing
would induce her to eat. For several
days all efforts to induce her to par-
take of food were in vain, and I was
afraid that she would starve. One
morning I saw her standing by a bar-
rel of water from which she was in
the habit of drinking. Her attitude
struck me as singular, and going to
her I found that she was dead with her
head stuck into the water as far as she
could reach. There was no other con-
clusion possible than that she had de-
liberately drowned herself.—Cincinna-
ti Enquirer.
A Woman Placed in the Tomb Saved by a
Sexton's Greed.
Startling- is the case of Mrs. Ei’skine,
wife of Rev. Henry Erskine, an emi-
nent Nonconformist minister of more
than two centuries ago. This person,
while the family was living at Money-
laws, in the county of Northumberland,
to all appearances died, and was ac-
tually coffined and placed in the family
vault. Mrs. Erskine wore a valuable
gold ring, which, as it could not be
easily removed from her finger, was
buried with her.
This circumstance being known to
the sexton, he thought it a pity that
so precious an article should be left
among the moldering remains. Accord-
ingly, he opened the grave at night,
seized the hand of the supposed dead
body, and tried to pull off the ring.
Finding it difficult to do so, however,
and fearing detection, the fellow whip-
ped out his jackknife, and was in the
act of cutting off the finger to secure
the coveted treasure, when, to his hor-
ror, the lady sat up in the coffin. As
may readily be imagined, the grave-
digger quickly fled, and Mrs. Erskine,
thus restored to activity, returned
home to the amazement but subsequent
delight of her husband and family.
The lady who is stated to have had
this extraordinary experience survived
many years and bore many children, in-
cluding Ralph, who was born in 1685.
The son entered the ministry of the
Church of Scotland, and, in conjunc-
tion with his brother, Rev. Ebenezer
Erskine, became the founder of the
Secession church, which, by a series of
amalgamations, is known as the United
Presbyterian church. Some doubt hav-
ing been cast upon the authenticity of
this remarkable story, a survivor of the
Erskines wrote a few years ago, stating
that the incident had been handed
down from one generation to another
in the family, and adding that the ring
in question was in his possession.—

he brought to Galveston this season

to have their costumes mark the wear-
ers as beyond the need of pondering
cost. As a result the accessories that
announce the exquisite become more
and more pronounced, some of them
bordering closely upon the outlanish.
Thus, this winter the swells are at
tempting to make fashionable in their
exclusive sets the carrying of parasols
all through the winter whenever car-
riage driving is possible.
If, therefore, a belle appears at a n
o’clock tea with a parasol as part of
her costume it should be inferred,
please, not that she has gone crazy,
but that she drives in her own private
carriage. There is, of course, very
little danger that -the more humble sis-
ters will take up this freakish fad and
thus render it common and abhorred
by the others, but even if they did the
swagger ones would then, probably,
take to carrying them of evenings and
on sleighing parties. So wealth is
pretty sure to come out ahead, though
the race is ever a stern one.
An unusual garniture that is neither
outlandish, lacking in reason nor im-
possible to a slender purse is shown in
this sketch, and consists of bands of
black passementerie that run down the
front and sides of the skirt and end in
ornaments just above the hem. The
same trimming also outlines a girdle,
above which there are ornaments simi-
lar to those on the skirt. The dress
material is a grayish blue cloth, it is
cut princess and fastens in the back
with small cloth buttons. The bodice
is pleated at the waist and the sleeves
are trimmed to match, the cuffs being
gathered on the inside seam.

Iowa Band.
The Iowa State band rendered beau-
tiful music at the Tremont opera-house
last night to a much smaller audience
than the attraction deserved. There
are 50 pieces in the band and the ex-
cellent music produced placed the di-
rector in high favor as a leader. The
selections were very pleasing and
brought forth generous applause.
William Guyon’s flute solo captured
the audience and he had to respond to
an encore. “Listen to My Tale of Woe,”
also played as an encore, and “The Mu-
sicians’Strike” scored hits in the comic
line. One of the interesting features
of the evening was a whistling chorus
rendered as a part of “Jolly Fellows.”
The next attraction will be Dr. Eddy,
assisted by Eva Eddy, in spiritualism
and theosophy, who will be at the Tre-
mont Sunday night.
On Monday night Mrs. Potter and
Mr. Bellew will appear in “She Stoops
to Conquer,” and on Tuesday night in
“Charlotte Corday.”
Home Enterprise.
A. F. Huebner corner 27th and Me-
chanic, Carriage-builder and General
Repairer, is now building a hose car-
riage for the Galveston fire depart-
ment. This carriage would have been
finished some time ago but for the de-
lay in procuring special material for it.
Mr. Huebner will only employ compe-
tent men, and says that he has been
handicapped in obtaining skilled labor.
About seven months ago Mr. Huebner
built a hose carriage for company No.
2, and as it gave universal satisfaction,
a second order was placed with him.
He has secured the services of J, G.
Franklin, an expert painter. Mr.
Huebner’s work is first class in every
particular, and should be appreciated
by the people of Galveston. This is the
way to build up home enterprises.
Engineer Lorimer Discusses the Cap-
tain of the Steamship Hereford.
To The Tribune.
Steamship Hereford, Galveston,Tex.,
Dec. 14.—The gentleman with the
“name like a clothesline” has chosen
your paper as a medium for misrepre-
sentations. He says that he does not
get an allowance for provisioning the
ship. The last captain had it and the
conditions are unaltered, which I can
prove.
With regard to vile language uttered
by this five-foot-two of British pluck, I
have heard him call a man a damned
liar, presuming on his position of cap-
tain. Had the conditions been other-
wise I think his British pluck would
have been put to the test. However,
he has to answer for more than that on
arrival of the ship home.
I wish it to be known that this orna-
ment to the profession, who signs him-
self “lieutenant” and wishes to shine
above the common master mariner,
took 30 days to come to Galveston, go-
ing down to 17 degrees north latitude
and rounding Porto Rico and Jamaica,
and making a distance of 6200 miles,
whereas Galveston is only 4700 miles
from Liverpool.
This five-foot-two of pomposity does
not think it unbecoming to go every
morning to the market and buy for the
day. The steward on other ships does
this work and generally gets a small
bonus from the butcher. What takes
the gentleman holding her Britanic
majesty’s commission?
Again, readers of The Tribune, this
gentleman would have strangers think
he was a man of honor. What think
you of a man who promised before the
British consul to say nothing to the
engineers for coming ashore to make
complaint, but as soon as he gets down
to the Hereford he logs the three of us
and reads it over to us? Truly, I
thought slavery was abolished in
England and America, but evidently
this defender of his country, held in
reserve, wants to revive it. I think he
would be like Charley Mitchell, who is
better pleased when kept in reserve.
There is no Uriah Heep about B.
Du Sautoy Anstis—no, not -a bit. He
is thoroughly intoxicated with his im-
portance, and I believe if there was a
vacancy for a prime minister of Eng-
land he would get the job. The Eng-
lish government must have been hard
up for fighting men when it gave this
man a commission in the reserve.
I never look at him but he reminds
me of a little rivet-heater, whose feet
have grown quicker than his body,
giving him a spread-eagle appearance.
Readers of The Tribune and fellow
engineers, the Lord made him, there-
fore let him pass for a man. You must
remember Napoleon was a small man;
so is Master Mariner Anstis. But per-
haps he might rise to the occasion and
liis name be handed down to posterity
as a humane man, who gave his engi-
neers soft and good bread.
ft is only through the medium of
your valued paper that we can let the
public know how we are imposed upon
by some tyrants. Every Sunday night
we have service on board and the
warrior officiates, often reading out our
Savior’s words: “Do as you would be
done by.”
In conclusion, gent1 emen, the noisiest
wheel is not necessarily doing the most
work. I have smelled powder, being
all through the Brazilian war. I sup-
pose a pop gun was about the biggest
the warrior carried, and my commis-
sion is not a reserve one, it is an effec-
tive one in the Brazilian navy, which
is quite as good a country as England
if properly governed.
Haughty, overbearing conduct, such
as the navigator on board the Here-
ford practices, lost your beautiful
country to England. I kicked against
the bread and lost my appetite in con-
sequence; you kicked against the tea
in Boston and lost your right to be
called English—both clear gains.
Thanking you in anticipation, I am
Andrew Lorimer, M. I. M. E.,
Lieutenant Brazilian Navy,
Chief Engineer Steamship Hereford.
P. S.—Mr. Editor: The only return
I can make for your kindness in insert-
ing my lettei* is to give you my thanks,
unless you would care for a few more
paper-weights, made of the manna on
board the Hereford and leavened with
the grace of the warrior.
