The Peasant Millionaire.
The Hungarian Farmer with the Income
of a Prince, who dressed in Raps, but
was not a Miser.
By the murder of Josef Weyer t
Szentes, Hungary, the Emperor f
Austria has lost one of his wealthi t
and most noteworthy subjects—a peas-
ant who was of much More curious
character than ninety-nine out of a
hundred Peers and Princes of the realm.
'Weyer was popularily known as the
"Peasant Millionaire." Sixty years
ago he began life as a small farmer. At
the time of his death he enjoyed an in-
come of 500,000 gulden, in spite of
which he lived in a modest farm-
house, dressed like a peasant, ate food
which his -wife cooked,1 and indulg-
ed in no luxury- excepp horse back

- his protests. The mother waited an
hour or more, and, finding: that her hus-
band did not return, went herself to the
physician's house, where she,
arrested. Meanwhile the child rem- n_
cd alone in the house, and on the, fol-
lowing morning it was dead.
Cream Pie.
Two-thirds pint of sw set milk, piece
of butter the size c ii ani 'egg, !three
tablespoonfuls of sr .gar; then mix two
tablespoonfuls of ;lour and the yokes of
two eggs ; flour `„o. suit the taste ; put
in a tin pan arld set the pan in a kettle
of boiling wr ;ter to prevent from burn-
ing ;• stir u litil thick. Bake the pie -
crust, th .du fill the crust with. cream ;
beat tY-,e whites to a stiff paste, put on
th e', tap and brown a very little.
•
The latter mightbe regarded as .a
necessity, though. Like most Hun-
garian farmers he was ' an extensive
cattle breeder, and his herds were sca+r
tered over miles of vast grazing plal,ns.
He counted his houses and farms;, too,
by the score, and up to tie day of his
death kept all his vast possessio /IS under
his personal supervision.
]ZANY CURIOUS STORIES
are told of the old farm' r prince and
his -eccentric ways. 'He was a peasant
to the core, in spite of bis enormous
wealth, and looked it.. t one time he
bid at an auction sale of oxen, which,
according to Hungarian fashion, were
put up by yokes. There were three
hundred yokes, and the old man bought
the whole.600 beasts. The auctioneer
was a stranger, and when the miser-
able, shabby Iittle Granger who had
bid so steadily was pointed out to him
he waxed wroth.
" Joseph Weyer,",he said, do you
not know that it is orb ddeu by law to
hoax a public auctionee ?" .
Surely, sir, surely,' as -the reply.
The price of the ox n yon have bid
for must be paid down. Cash ! do- you
understand ? Cash 1"
The old man dived into the breast of
his dingy Dolman, hauled out a dingy
old blue silk handkerchief, and without
a word counted but a pile of 1,000 gul-
den notes, that made the auctioneer's
mouth water.
" " It's.a pity you have no more bul-
locks," he said, as he roed the remain -
ll
ing notes up and stuffed them back. in
to his breast ; I wasn hopes._ to be
able to buy a thousand Or so•"
DURING THE STATE OF SIEGE
which succeeded the Hungarian re-
volution, an . edict was. enacted for-
bidding the peasants . of the Theiss
Valley to use saddle horses without
a special permit from the military gov-
ernor.
One day some gendarmes overtook
Josef Weyer riding along some 20 miles
from Szentes, on his favorite horse and
demanded his pass.
" It is at home in my house at Szen-
tes," he said. -
Indeed ! And how is it that you
venture to affront the 1 w by travelling
p
a
without pass ?"

ling. I am only visit -in my estates."
gendarmes grin They gendarmes g rii fan-
cied they had a prize iu this old beggar,
who with a sweep of his hand claimed
proprietorship of a down leagues of
land. Perhaps he was one of the
dreaded revolutionists.' At any rate,
they arrested him, laughed at his re-
quest to send to his house for his pass,
and as the Judge was busy ordering in-
surgents off by batches to the fortresses
or the grave, he was locked up for sev-
eral days. He did not grumble, and
true to his busy instincts pottered around
the jail doing light chores, till a small
official who knew him found him clean-
ing a window.
" Good heavens, Herr Weyer !" he ex-
claimed, what are you doing in this
place?" ,
" Don't you see, my son ? . Cleaning
the windows. The genidarmes arrested
me becase I had no pass."
The man secured his' release at onco-
A short time afterward. on the- day of
his marriage, a lawyer handed him the
deeds of a comfortable little farm and
ten cows and oxen. Old Josef Weyer
had not forgotten the good turn he had
done him.
REMEMBERING A MND\ESS.
Weyer purchased his first farm from.
Count Steven Karoly, who let him have
it on very easy terms, in view of his
poverty. Marshal Haynau fined . the
Count a half million gulden for befriend-
ing Kossuth, after the capture of Ofen
by the Imperial troops. The Count's
resources were badly crippled at the
time, and his steward was in despair at
his inability to make up the amount of
the imposition, when a little old man,
amelliug rankly of dung and sour milk,
called on him and stated that he had
heard Count Steven wanted to borrow
some money.
Well, what business of yours is
that ?" -
I thought I might help a little, sir.
The Count was a good friend to me once
—God bless Lim—and I would like to
help him if I could."
The steward laughed heartily.
Why, thy dear fellow, do you
know how much money the Count
needs ?"
Exense-me—no, sir."
Two handred thousand 'gulden.
Do you know how ninth money that
is?„
l` Look ! 'look !" muttered the old
man, scratbhiug his ear. Why, I
haven't brooght that much money with
me, to be sure."
" I should fancy not.
"But here is a hundred and eighty
thousand. I'll go home and bring the
rest in the morning."
Joseph Weyer was assassinated Most
brutally by a drunken vagabond at a
public house in Sze rtes. The mis-
creant, who was mad drunk, was shot
dead by the police in, attempting to
secure him. The collossal fortune
of the peasant millionaire will pro-
bably go to the State, as his wife is
dead, and he is not known to have any
heirs.
The Reign of Terror:.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of
the Cologne Gazette says that when 'any
one is arrested by the ;police the._fact.is
kept secret, and every One who calls at
the arrested person's house is also put
under arrest. One of the persons -. ar-

Sunflower Seeds for Poultry.
Many farmers look upon the sun-
flower as simply a worthless weed, and
never dream of the valuable qualities
the seeds of this .plant possess. For
several years they have beenused as
breeders of fancy poultry as food for
choice birds ; in small. "quantities, they
are mixed with the other food, and the
peculiar properties of the seeds impart
a beautiful gloss which no grain will
give to the plumage of the adult birds.
For.those who raise fancy fowls for ex-
hibition, it is essential to perfect suc-
cess that the plumage should be in per-
fect condition, and to attain satisfac-
tory results, we can recommend no
more valuable aid than judicious feed-
ing of this seed. It has: long been
known that the oil extracted from sun-
flower seeds makes a dressing for the
hair which is very benefic_al, imparting
a smoothness and vigor highly appre-
ciated by all who have tried it. It grows
veryreadily, and the poultryman should
not forget this cheap and useful assist-
ant to. his labors.
Gaieties.
—'A Mrs. Bruff, of Oakland, has ap-
plied for a legal separation because, as
her petition states, Mr. B. leaves her to
" run with the McCracken boys, and do
other things which she afterwards re-
grets." -
—One of the ' greatest- feats of WD -
man's endurance is when the female

without complaining of the least •
fatigue. - -
-Au Irish gentleman having pur-
chased an alarm clock, an acquaintance
asked him what he intended to do with
it. " Ocli," answered 1
nothing to do but pull t
wake myself."
-A woman was sitting', at the break-.
fast table the other morning, when an
almost breathless neighbor came in and
informed her that her husband was
dead. " Wait till I'm through break
fast and then you'll hear howling."
—A short time ago a 'Danbury- man
had x$40 stolen from him. The thief
was subsequently struck with remorse,
and sent back $20, with a note to the ef-
fect that as soon as he received more re-
morse he would send back the rest.
--" But you know," said the farmer's
daughter, when he spoke to her about
the addresses of his neighbor's son,
"you know, pa, ma wants me to marry

The Author of John Halifax."
She was obliged, says' the t�laristinn
Union, to write for her daily bread, and,
that she might forget how miserable
she was, she wrote a great deal. Of
course, with all this practice and with
her vast experience in sorrow, for her
pen was.one actually di ped in tears,
she wrote better. and better, till finally
this retiring, grief-stricken woman
awoke to find herself famous. Her
first novel, The Ogilvies," was very
spcdessful, and was published in 1849,
when Miss Mulock was - only twenty-
three, but . her great masterpiece,
" John Halifax., Gentle an," did not
appear until 18h-7. In 1
sixty pounds a year was
Mulock.
All this fame and ung4
doubtless assuaged her g'ief and helped
to make life endurable, ut to one with
such a loving heart al d such quick
sympathies, bereft of a ome and with-
out;a relation, her life w a still very sad
and lonely. But in 1865 Captain
George Lillie Craik, an officer in the
English army,.who had been in the
Crimea, met Miss Mi lock, .and, al-
though some years her jl nior, addressed
her and succeeded in wi Hing her hand.

Costumes of th lulus.
As seen at Maritzburgthe Zulus are
certainly a very peculiar'people, and
very picturesque. I have said . of the
Kaffir that'he is always dressed like an
Irish beggar. 1 should have added,
however, that he always wears his rags
with a grace, The Zulu rags are - per-
haps about equal to the ] affir rags in
raggedness, but the Zulu grace is much
more excellent than t e Kaffir. grace.
Whatever it be that the Zulu wears, he
always looks as though he had chosen
that peculiar costume, uite regardless
of expense, as being. t e one mode of
dress most suitable to is own figure
and complexion. The ]tags are there,
but it seems as though -the rags have
been chosen with as much solicitude as
any dandy in Europe gives to the fit
and color of his raimeat. When you
see him you -are incline to think not
that his clothes are tett red, " but" cu-
riously cut "—like Katri a's gown. One
fellow will walk erect with au olcl sol-
dier's red coat on him a d nothing else ;
another will have a pair f knee breeches
and a flannel shirt hanging over it. A
very popular`'costumelis an ordinary
sack, inverted, with a big Bole for the
head and smaller holes for the arms,
and. which comes down below the wear-
er's knees. This is serviceable and de-
cent, and has an air of fashion about it,
too, as long as it is "fairly clean. Old
grey great -coats with brass buttons,
wherever they oome from, are in re-
quest, and though common, always
seem fo confer dignity. A shirt and
trousers worn threadbare, so ragged as
to seem to defy any wearer to find his
way into them, will assume a peculiar

There are people in Chicago who are

in church. I am much afraid such
characters are to.be found everywhere,
men who under a cloak of religion can
.be guilty of the meanest, dirtiest, low-

whiskey, only because they are too
stingy. to ,pay for the liquor. They

I, " that-nlan can pray like a saint, and

would cheat," she said. " He's. the
greatest fraud in the place,"- I replied.
He has failed twice in business, and
twice started afresh, having cheated his
creditors out of several thousand dol-
lars. He managed by an adroit piece
of roguery to . get his house, furniture,
and otherproperty for safe keeping
transferred to a convenient friend. By
dint of lying he managed to borrow $50
of me, which, of course, he will neve'.
pay. He never intended to, yet he holds
his head as high as ever, hands round'
the plate on Sunday and prays the long-
est and loudest at:the prayer meetings."
The lady was shocked. My narration
took away her breath. After finding
her tongue she said : " You astonish me
Mr. . I always thought the man
was a perfect saint. Didn't you notice
how he prayed for the poor heathens
and drunkards, that the Lord would
put it into the hearts of Christians to
carry the gospel to them. And then he

wanted the minister to preach about the
better observance of the' Sabbath, and
suggested that as the times were hard
that a collection should be taken 'up for
the poor. He's always been a great
man for looking after the poor." " Yes,"
I replied, " and some of the poor know
it to their cost. I could give the names
of poor families who had saved. a few

" THE DISCLOSURE."
R.LAD.
Having fully decided on moving to Manitoba, Mr. Dent offers to let,
on easy terms, that first-class business stand occupied at present by
himself. Possession given at once if desired.
And to the public -Ice would say that, in view of the above fact, lee is
going to run off his present stock of Dry. Goods, some of which have only
just been received, at less than any one else can sell to ?ou, as his object is
to get away at the earliest possible moment. Don't buy until you have
called on him.
Look out for the Auction Sale of his Dwelling House, on long time,
which will be announced in a couple of weeks, if not privately disposed
of before that time.
