present indications
the weekly quota
will net fail below
that hereafter, with
every peeped ef exceudiig
it considerably as the seamen
advances. In spite of the
swinish policy of the rail-
way companies in regard to
rates, the people teem to have at last
awakened to the fact that the Fair is come -
thing they can't afford to miss, and by
every train, from every point of the
compass, they are pouring in at all
hours of the day and night. Canada is
contributing ie quota, the number registered
at the Canadian Pavilion from Ontario alone
sunning about 200 daily, and there by no
means represent all from the Province.
Those who do not visit the Canadian head-
quarters make a mistake. The building, as
as generally acknowledged, is not all that
could be desired, but it occupies the very
oheiceab location wlthin the walls of the
White City, and its spacious verandahs
offer the best vantage ground for seeing the
fireworkswhich are a leading feature on
several nights of the week. Most of the
Canadian papers are on file, there le a poet -

keeps up the social end, and no man has
done more than he, by generous hospitality
and pleasant speeches en public occasions,
to make the name of Canada known among

The increased attendance has raised the
spirits ef the managers of the Exposition;
already provision has been made fer paying
40 per cent. en the bonds ; 10 per cent. per
week will be paid till they are wiped out,
and there will no doubt be something worth

attention is being paid to the amusement

the country are all the while busy devising

tions, etc., and all seem to bo sppreciatod.
Yesterday there was
A SPECIAL PARADE OF HORSES
through the grounds, when about two-
thirds of the horse exhibitors had their
animals out. There were over 600 horses
in lire, including the celebrated Russians
and Germans, and in the opinion of experts
no such collection of pedigreed equines was
ever before seen in a eiogle day. The pro-
cession was headed by Shetland ponies,
driven four-in-hand, tandem, four abreast
and every ether way, and a draft of'Ken-
tucky mules brought up the rear.
The stock pavilion is one of the moat at-
tractive places in the whole Fair, new-
adays, and it is seldem that moat el the
seats are not occupied. Besides the horses
and cattle that are in the competitions, the
highbred Kentuckians, Runtime, Arabe,
etc., are continually being exsroiesd in the
ring, and their beautiful performances are
cheered to the echo.
Thej edging of the beef breeds, excepting
the sweepstakes, Dame to an end on Tuesday,
and en the whole the result has been fairly
tratiafaobery, though, for reasons that aro
now well understood, nob so many prises
have come our way as it was at first ex-
pected. The breeding of thoroughbred stock

the herds of Ontario breeders, who aro for

ftatiefactery prices. Besides this there was
the fear hanging overtheheade of Canadians
that they woule have to undergo a three
months' guarantee after the Fair before
they could get get their cattle home again,
;and, all the circumstances beieg taken into
consideration, the wonder is that our breed-
ers had the nerve to enter the lista at all,
and that they acquitted themselvea se
creditably.
Another matter that must be taken into
account is the

against white or Iight roan cattle, while
Ontario men take no account of color. So
high does this feeling ran that Chief
Buchanan, of the Department of Agrioul-
pure, was appealed to by the judges, as to
whether they should award the d et prem-
ium to the magnificent young white ball,
Lord Stanley, owned by J. Sc W. Remelt, of
Richmond Hill, whioh is decidedly the
finest Shorthorn on the grounds. Mr. J
Buchanan at once said that color should net 1
enter into the calculation. The triumph
over the Ontario Hien over the color pre- .i
judice must result in a reaction in favor of
the light cattle.
Col. Brownof Minneap®Iia, ere sf th
leading American shorthorn ren, informed
ucle that he had fitted up 110 head from
whioh to choose those for the exhibition, and
would have brought more from Ontario at

HER PROI'HHBL TO VICTOR DEGO.
Negro Woman Has Three Musses Stead for
the Great Poet.
A few weeks ago an old negress came
from Bridgetown, on the Island of Barba -
deco, to a missionary, says the Nashville
American, and asked him to read three
manes for Victor Huge.
The missionary was astonished, and at
first believed that he had misunderstood the
visitor. But the negrees replied to his
quoetions that years ago the had given aid
to Huge's daughter, wbo had married an
English officer against the will of her father,
and had fled with him to Barbadoos.
The officer deserted hie wife, who cense!
quently became aimed intone, and was
cared for in that condition by the negregs.
The.negress wrote to the poet ef the sad
condition of his child. HugoParis with
sen 2,000
francs and had her go
daughter.
After remaining a time in the house of
the author, the negrese decided to return to
Barbadoen. One reason for this was the
fad that the poor daughter had become in-
curably insane and been consigned to an
asylum.
The poet, who respected the negreaa be-
came of the love she had borne Ms
daughter, said to her before her departure
from Paris : " When you hear of my death
in your native country, have three manes
read for me."
The old woman, who firet heard ef the
death of Victor Ingo a few months ago,
has now fulfilled the wishes of thepoeb.
DID THE FLOOD IN „,WO WORDS.
Cbaldeaus Were Modest In Their Ideas of
Historical Records.
If the Chaldean flood tablet which Jehne
Hopkins University Bait to the .American
Bible Society yesterday is a fair sample of
the books of 4,000 years ago a Chaldean
library as extensive as the Aster library
would cover Manhattan Island. The tablet
is a complete book in itself. It le a plaster
cast from a modern reproducbion in clay of
the eleventh book of the so-called Izdnbor,
or Gilgatesh legends. In contains the
Chaldean account of the flood, written in
cuneiform next more than 2,000 yearsbeforo

The tablet is about 10 fnohee long by 7
wide and three-quarters of an inch thick.
It ie written on both sides in three columns,
and contains 531 lines, or about 2,000wordr.
The restoration is the work of Professor
Paul Haupt, of Johns Hopkins, one (Athe
first soholare of his day in the study of an-
tiquities. The original tablet was found
during the British excavations in the valley
of the Euphrates and Tigris, and was broken

CLEVELAND HAD CANCEL
The Operation Was Not Important, But
Caused Some. Trouble.
NOW THOROUGHLY EXTIRPATED.
R. BRYANT, the
\ principal of throe
medical men who
performed the oper-
ation on 1 reridenb
Cleveland on July
let on board Mr.
Benediot'syacht, the
Oneida, yesterday
met a delegation ef
reporters in the
library of hie home,
No. 54 West Thirty-
'sixth- street. From
the doctor ib was
learned that Presi-
dent Cleveland went aboard the Oneida on
Friday evening. Mrs. Cleveland did nob
know an operation was to bo performed.
She was told that the President would pass
several days en the Oneida to get the benefit
of the sea air, agd also to try his luck among
the blue fish in the Sound.
The operation was performed on Satur-
day. Tee firab and aeoond molars were ex-
tracted by Dr. Hasbrouck. Then Dr.
Bryant cut away small portions of the
swollen gum and scraped the top of the jaw-
bone to prevent the possibility of a spread
of the ulceration. A small plate of the bone
was cut away. The gum was washed with
an antiseptic solution. During the opera-
tion President Cleveland was ander the in.
fluence of nitrous oxide gas, or what Is
commonly called " laughing gas." Secre-
tary Lament was on board the Oneida at
the time.
Afberwarde President Cleveland suffered
considerably from the effects of the opera-
tion, but no more than Dr. Bryant expected
er would expect in any similar operation.
President Cleveland remained on the
Oneida five days after the operation.
DR, SIASBROUCK SAYS IT IS CANCER
Dr. Hasbrouck was seen at his home, No.
147 West 126th street.
Said the lector : " I don't see as there
is any nae of denying the fact that an opera.
tion was performed upon the President, bub
as to the details of it, I must refrain from
dfaouesing them. I was on the yacht only
in the capacity of an assietant. Dr. Bryant,
who had the whole matter in charge, will
no doubt now aeaumo the responsibility of
giving out the facts of the case."
" What was your duty in connection
with the operation ? " asked the reporter.
" I administered the gas to the President
as an anesthetic and removed the teeth,
whioh it was found necearsary to take out
during the progress of the work. The sur-
gical operation, which was performed by
Dr. Bryant, consisted in cutting away a
part of the upper jawbone and tissue as far
as the orbital plate. The affection was
local."
" The disease, the progress) of whioh it
was hoped to arrest, was earooma, or, in
other words, canner, was it not ?" Dr. Has-
brouok was asked.
" Yes, but the disease was in its earlier
stage. The affection was entirely local.
The tissues of the threat had nob been
attacked,"
SIMILAR TO GEN. GRANTS AFFLICTION.
" Then the President's affliction le much
of the same character as that from wbioh
Gen. Grant Buffered and which finally ended
hie life 1"
" It le perhaps of the same character,"
said Dr. Hasbrouck, " but ef a much lees
alarming nature. Gen. Grant's trouble
originated, as I understand it, from a jagged
tooth in the back part of his lower jaw,
which, by rubbing continually against the
root of his tongue and by being constantly
irritated by hie cigar smoking, eventually
produced an nleeroue sore, which developed
Into sarcoma. Various operations were
performed to remove the diseased tisane,
until nearly his whole tongue had been re-
moved.
DIFFERENT WITH Mn. CLEVELAND. '
" With President Cleveland it is differ-
ent. The disease is of recent origin and
had, therefore, obtained but a small garb
when the instruments of the surgeon them
ongbly removed all traces of it from bone
and tissue."
" Did not the President impress you as a
man with a very strong ooustinution ?"
" Without a doubt he has an iron con-
stitution, and this will do mach toward
warding off any farther attacks of his
malady.

sequenbly Duke of Wel-
lington. Tho regiment
was, during 1795.6, on service in British
North America, and Sherbroke and "Sigma -
yard in. October, 1785, were stationed ab
Sydney, Cape Breton. Being of con-
genial tastes they had become friends.
It was their custom to spend in
study much of the time which their brother
officers devoted to idle plcaeures. Accord-
ing to a narration resting en the best
authority attainable they were one after-
noon (October 15th, 1785) sitting in Wyn-
yard'a apartment. Ib was
PERFECTLY LIGHT,
the hour was about four o'clock; they had
dined, but neither of them had drank wine,
and they had retired from the mess to con-
tinue together the occupations of the morn-
ing. The apartment, in whioh they were,
had two doors to ib, the ene opening into a
passage and the other leading into Wyn-
yard's bedroom. There was no other
means of entering the sitting room but from
the paseag° and no other ogress from the
bedroom but through the sitting -room ; so
that any person pasaing into the bedroom
must have remained there, unless he re-
turned by the way he entered. This point
is of consequence to the story.
As these two young officers were pursuing
their studies, Sherbroke, whole eye hap-
pened aooident.elly to glance from the vol-
ume before him towards the doer that
opened to the paaeage, observed a tall
youth of about 20 years of age, whoee ap.
pearance was that of
EXTREME EMACIATION,
standing beside it. Struck with the pres-
ence of a perfect stranger, he immediately
turned to his friend, who was sitting near
him, and directed his attention to the guest
who had thus strangely broken in upon
their studise. As soon as Wynyard's oyes
were turned toward the mysterious visitor
his countenance• became suddenly agitated.
" I have heard," eays Sir John Sherbroke,
" of a man being as pale as death, but I
never saw a living face aesnme the appear.
ance of a corpse except Wynyard's at that
moment." As they looked silently at
the form before them—for Wynyard, who
seemed to apprehend the import of the
appearance, was deprived of . speech, and
Sherbroke, perceiving the agitation of hie
friend, felt no inclination to address it, as
they looked intently upon the figure, it
proceeded slowly into the adjoining apart-
ment, and, in the act of panning them, cast
ite eyes with an expression of somewhat
MELANCHOLY AFFECTION
on young Wynvard. The oppression of this
extraordinary presence was no sooner re-
moved than Wynyard, seizing his friend
by the arm and drawing a deep breath, as
if recovering from the suffocation of intense
astonishment and emotion, mattered in a
low and almost inaudible tone of voice,
" Great God I my brother 1"—" Your
brother I" repeated Sherbroke, " What
can you mean, Wynyard 1 there must be
some deception—follow me " ; and imme-
diately taking his friend by the arm, he
preoeded him into the bedroom, whioh, as
before stated, connected with the raittissg
room, and into whioh the strange visitor
had evidently entered. It has already been
said, that from this chamber there was no
possibility of withdrawing but by the • way
of the apartment through which the figure
had certainly passed, and as certainly never
had returned. Imagine, then, the astonish.
ment of the young cfiicere, when, on finding
themaolves in the centre of the chamber,
they perceived that the room
WAS PERFECTLY UNTENANTED.
Wynward'e mind had received an impres-
sion at the first moment of obearving him
that the figura he had seen was the spirit of
hie brother. Sherbroke still persevered in
etrenuouely belinvirrg that some delusion
had been practised. They took note of the
day and hour in whioh the event had
happened ; bub they resolved not to
mentien the occurrence in the regi-
ment, and gradually they persuaded each
other that they had been imposed upon by
same artifice of their fellow-offioers,
though they could neither account for the
reason nor seeped the author, nor conceive
the means ef ire execution. They wore.
content to imagine anything possible rattier
than admit the possibility of a supernatural
appearance.
But, though they had attempted thee°
stratagems of calf-delusien,'Wynyard could
nob help expressing his solicitude with re-
spect to the eafeey ef the brother whose
apparition he had either seen or imagined
himself to have seen; and the anxiety which
he exhibited for lettere from England, and
his frequent mention of his fears for hie
brother's health, at length awakened the
curiosity of hie comrades, and
EVENTUALLY BETRAYED. HIM
into a deolaration of the oiroumetanoss
which he had in vain determined to.oenceel.
The story of the silent and unbidden vieltor
was no sooner bruited abroad than
the
destiny of Wynyard'a brother became an
object of universal and painful interest to
the officere of the rogimont. There were
few who did not inquire for Wynyard's
letters before the. made an demand for
their own; andthe packets that arrived
from England were welcomed wibh more
than usual eagernese for the brought not
only roinembralnoos from their frieude ab
home, but promised to afford the clue to
the mystery which had happened among
themselves. By the first shipt no intelli-
gence relating to the story could have
been received for theyhad all departed
from England tsvioun° to the appear-
ance
ance of the spirit. At length the long -
,wished -for vowel arrived; all the offioern
had lettere except Wynyard, They ex-
amined the several newspapers, but they,
contained no mention of any death, or of
any ether oironmetanoo about hie family
that could exeunt for the preternatural
event, There was
A SOLITARY LETTER
for Sherbroke still unopened. The officers
menimen
had received their lettere in the mess -room
at the hour of supper. After Sherbroke
had bruien the real of his last packet, and
oast a glance on its contents, he beckoned
hie friend away from the company, and de
parted from the room. All were silent.
The euepeneo of the interval was now at its
olmax; the impatience for the return of
Sherbroke was inexpressible. They doubted
nob bub that the letter contained the long-
expected Intelligence. After the interval
of au hour, Sherbroke joined them, No
one dared be guilty of so great a rudeness
as to inquire the nature ef his corres-
pondence ; but they waited in mute
attention, expecting that he would hire -
self tenth upon the subject. His ,,find
was manifestly full oftboughts that pained,
bewildered and oppreassd him. He drew
neer to the firapiece, and leaning his head
en the mantel -piece, after a petite of some
moments, eafd in a low voice, to the person
who was nearest him :
"WYNYARD'S BROTHER It NO MORE I"
The firet line of Sherbroke'a letter `era---
" Dear John, break to your irked Wyn-
yard the death of his favorite brother."
Ho had died on the day •:and at the very
hour on which the Mende had seen his spirit
pees so, mystsrloueiy through the apart.
monk.
It might have been Imagined that these
events would have been sufficient to have
impreared the mind of Sherbroke with the
conviction of their truth ; but so strong
was his prepoaseeeion against the ez;iatence,
or even the poseibility of any preternatural
interoouree with the souls of the deed,
that he still entertained a doubt of the
report of hie seines, supported as their
testimony was by the coincidence of vision
and event.
Some years after, en hie return to Eng-
land, he was walking with two gentlemen
in Peoaadilty, when, on the oppesite aide of
the way, he saw a peraen bearing the most
striking
RESEMBLANCE TO THE FIGURE
whioh had been disclosed to Wynyard and
himself. Hie companion's were acquainted
with the story, and he instantly directed
their attention to the gentleman oppooite,
as the individual who had contrived to
enter and depart from Wyuyarti'a apart-
ment at Sydney without their being con-
selous of the meane. Full of this iropres-
sion, he immediately went over, and at once
addressed the gentleman. He now fully
expected to elucidate the mystery. Re
apologized for the interruption, bub ex-
cused it by relating the occurrence, which
had induced him to the commission of this
solecism in manners. The gentleman re-
esived him as a friend. He had never been
out of the country ; bub he was the twin -
brother of the youth whoae *Nit had been
6800.
There is other desirable authentication
for the story, and anffioienb evidence to
prove that the twe gentlemen believed and
often told nearly what is here reported.
Dr. Mayo makes the following statement
on the subject : " I have had opporbunitiee
of inquiring of two near relationn of this
General Wynyard, upon what evidence the
above story reste. They told me that they
had each heard it from hie own meuth.
More reeon.uly a gentleman, when accuracy

in the etory,`tetl it much in the name way
at a dinner table. A writer, Filpning him-
self " Cegnatue," states in " Notes and
Queries " (July 3rd, 1858) that the
brother (not twin•krother) whose spirit
appeared to Wynyard and his friend was
John Otway Wynyard, a lieutenant
in the 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards, who
died on the 15th of October, 1785. As; this
gentleman writes with a minute knowledge
of the famiiy history, we may consider this
date as that ef the alleged spiritual incident.
In " Notes and Queries," July 2nd, 1859,
appears a correspondence, giving fully the
strongest testimony then attainable to the
truth of the Wynyard ghost story. A series
of queries on she subject, being drawn up ab
Quebec by Sir John Harney, adjutant gen-
eral of the forces in Canada, was sent to
Col Gore, of the esme garrison, who was
understood to be a survivor (Atte cflioere

1786 when the incident happened. 11 was

Incident ; which wee dene. I remember
the date, and on the $ret of June our firab

A Heifer Adopts a Young Caribou.
Some weeks ago a son of J. Francon, of
Moro, saw what he 'supposed was a big
rabbit with a heifer in the field. The catbie
was pestered in a back lot near the woods,
The bey, as he approached, saw that it was
not a rabbit. He easily caught the enimel,
which proved be be a young oaribeu, vine
carried ib home in hie arms. It was
apparently a clay cid, and wao weak and
staggering. A nursing bottle was secured
and the little caribou 'wee fed on milk.
Very soon it followed the boy about the
room. Ib was allowed to ,arse from a cow
for some weeks, till it grew ao boisterous,
butting and ',taking iia foster'nether with
its feet, that the farmer feared the cow
might injure it, and now feeds it with milk
by hand three time a day. All this time it
has evinced a foadueaa for its fret foster
mother, the heifer. The little fellow is
flourishing, to all appearances. It is very
tame and delights to be led into the woods,
whore it will run and. play. But at) the
elighbeat ununuai noise ib will immediately
scamper home. It be a buck, and its horns
aro just coming through.

anew. Fee example, our worth towns-
mian, Mr. P. E. Pettibone, got himself into
a prectoua scrape the other day by remark-
ing' in the moat casual v tsy possible at the
Caton League Club; "We've gob a fine boy
et our hones." It happened in this way e
Mr, Pettibone zgaa in biro coat room and
was complaining of to �oa tt olive Thereupon
a friend said that nobody .had any business
having a headache such doe weather.
To thio Mr, Pettibone usetwered, "You'd
have a headache, too, if you'd been kept,
awake all night by a baby's crying."
asked"Wthhy,wtaafriend, tdo you kcow about babies?'
e
" Whet do 1 Imam ? " echoed Mr. Pattie
bone.' "I know a heap. We've got a fine
bey up at our house."
The friend scrutinized Mr. Pebbibone's
Nee closely and saw that he was in earnest.
So -just like a man—he went off and busied
himself, apreeding the news that Mr. and
Min. Pettibone had a baby son.
Mr. Pettibone 'tumid have explained that
the "fine boy" wan not his boy, buts
merely tho'propocty of a friend vetting the
Pettibone roanslon. You nee that he said;
just enough to get himself-into'treuble.
Well, everybody was delighted to hear
about Pcttibene'e °" fine boy," and every -
bony beard about ib, because everybody told
everybody else. AS the club hie Mende
agreed among ihomaelveu that Pettibone
wan "a sly deg" and all that sort of thing,
and they vowed that they'd get even wibh
him for keeping the precious secret' from
them ee long. At the same time every last,
ores of his associates was hoping that Petti-
bone would honor hint by naming the "fine
boy" after him, and each made tho secret:;
revolve to tend the little newcomer a solid
silver spoon.
Tho trouble brewed all that afternoon,
and , ire crisis came about 8 o'clock in the
even.;,;;. Mr. Pettibone was seated in his
quit i.oine on the west side, reading aloud:
to Mia, Pettibone from a volume entitled
Row to Sall a Yaehb in a Calm," when
all at . nae there oamo a pull at the bell.
While bhey were guessing who under the
sun it was who was "making calla this hot
evening," in Dame the servant bringing a
lovely eilver spoor, carefully wrapped in silk
tissue paper. The spoon was for " Little>
Mader Pettibone"—ao the card accempany-
ing it was addressed.
" Why, Foster, what can it mean?" asked
Mrs. Pettibone.
"I'n eine 1 haven't the least idea," laid.
Mr. Pettibone, and they two eat there and
looked at the gluon and marvelled. The
epoone began to arrive. There were 20 of
them by 9 o'clock, anal an hour later there
were 14 more. Next morning before break,
fast the whole number had increased to
four dozen, and epoeono were still arriving;
when Mr. Pettibone etarted for his place of
business, Tho whole thing was se profound
a mystery to him that lie was fairly wild
with euriesity. He net himself to recalling
the events of the last month, in the hope
that he might detect therein soma clew to
the secret of thane strange happenings. He
retraced consecutively every conversation.
he had had and every letter he had written,
and presently he recalled-yoe, there Dame
to him, lien a flash of lightning, a recoil o -
tion of the few words he had passed •r h
his friend at the club the prevnittain day.
Mr. Pettibone saw through it all new. His
friend had formed a hasty conolueion from a
casual word, bed spread the news broadcast
and—woil, there you are!
Mr. Pettibone thought the matter all
over, and the mere he revolved it the more
he became convinced that he alone was to
blame. It made him feel half vexed and
half asbamed. So after telephoning an ex-
planation to hie wife he was'4 too busy to
see callers " ae the more that day, and in-
stead of going to tho club at noon he ate te
eurroptitious Inncheon in the corner of a
retired dairy resteurant.
Since then Mr. Pittibone has been kept
pretty buey writing lettere to his many
friends explaining tine ' ouriout complica-
tion, and the task is by no means ended, for
people outside the city have heard the
"geed news," and they, too, are sending
congrabulattoee and epoons. The proapeeb
is that this remarkab)o agitation will con-
tinue for an indtfinito period, fer Mr. Peb-
tibeue'v friends ere legion. A pleasant:
feature ef the affair is that those who have
learued the truth refuse to take back their
speons. " Keep them, Foster," they say,
" and may that which was meant for a re-
ward serve as an inspiration."
The real value of this incident is, how -
over, the lesson it teaches -viz , that it .lei
