Hamilton Spectator. "The man who takes a boat out on the lakes in the month of December certainly has no fun on his hands, and 'earns wll the money he gets, if he happens to get home safely." That's the opinion of Capt. R. Cor- son, of the steamer Lake Michigan, which came into Hamilton bay Friday afternoon, ice-covered and battered- looking. Capt. Corson brought his from Oswego load: | ed with coal for R. OF & J Mac- Kay; thi, owners, 8. now that he is in port he will not, if he knows it, venture out again until the southern breeze blows warm in the gentle springtime. Speaking seriously, Capt. Corson had about the closest call of his marine life on the trip over. To begin with there was in the har- bor when he left Oswego, and he had to fight his way out two miles into the lake before he was out of the pack. He waited until the last min- ute for a favorable weather report, and on the strength of the Washing- ton forecast of light south-east winds, he started. Before he got across the lake the south-east breeze-had chang ed to a gale, shifting its direction to the westward and bringing with it a zero condition of affairs. There was no snow, but there was something even more distasteful. The thermometer showed below zero, and the water, being warmer than the at mosphere, caused a smoke fog to rise, being so thick that it was impossible to sce one 'end of the boat from the other, and so penetrating in its chilli we that te have to, stand out in it ness Mr. David F.

The steamer rolled and pitch- ed. ivightfully in the heavy seas, and finally shipped /so much water that it was feared she would turn turtle. The deck cargo listed, and when Niagara was reached she was in extremely bad shape, and the captain and crew were about done out.

A French Count and a Russian Prince are Among the Number --A Wealthy American Dead to the World. The ,most eccentric millionaire is the Comte de S., one' of the richest of the old French nobility, who has one of the most magnificent houses in Pays. Although he has in his' veins some the noblest blood of France, the comte has views of social equality which may be described as revolutionary. He in- sists on sharing all the advantages of his ants, with the grotesque result that one week he will be discharging his under-butler's duties while that func- tionary plays the millionaire, and an- other week he will summon one of his farmer tenants from Ardennes or Somme to take his place, while he himself shares the servants' hall. The eccentricity of the late Prince Slavianski, one of the richest of the czar's subjects, took gn amiable if no- vel form. Although he had 'more pal- aces than he had fingers onghis hands and was lord over g atilion acres, the eccentric prince elected to live in a couple of rooms in a squalid corner of St. Petersburg and to dress as shabbi- ly as any beggar. It was his amuse- ment when he walked through St. Petersburg, to watch the svimnathe or aversion his appearance excited, and when (as frequently happened) any charitable stranger moved bv the spec- tacle of such poverty and misery, would slip a coin into his hand, the prince invariably shadowéd hid bene- factor until he discovered where he liv- ed and would then send or leave at his home a large snm of money, a thousand-fold more than he had re- ceived. Arthington. in personal -appear- ance, manner and habit was known as the most eccentric man in Yorkshire, Eng. Although penurious as to earn the title of miser Mr. Athineton was 'prodigality itself to all forms of foreign missionary work, and while denying himself a fire in winter, he would write a cheque for $50,000 to establish a mission among the Awem- ba tribes in Central Africa. Off Bringhtlingsea, England, for many years has been moored a magni- ficent steamyacht, the floating palace of a well-lknown millionaire, reputed to have an income of £175,000 ~ --ear. The wvacht has a crew of twentv-one men and is always ready to go to sea, but 'never moves, Every dav she is surrounded bv a flotilla of small boats the occupants of which wait patiently for hours in the hope that the mvs- terious owner of the yacht will show himself; and sooner or later he appears at the door of his cabin, beckons to one after another of the expectant crowd, and after chatting with them sends them awav--as an old sailor told the writer-- "with their pockets full of gold." A strange story of a wealthy Ameri- can living a sordid and wretched life Japan of his own choice is told by Barr, the noted alienist. 'A few ago, this man, handsome anl cultured, vanished from the view of the world in which he had been a conspicuous object and made his home among the "haning,'"' the grave-dicoers and pariahs of Japan- -men who are little, if at all, higher in the scale of creation than animals. Here, surround- ed by the low companions who fatten on his wealth, he indulges in remark able eccentricities. He ha§ had every square inch of his body tattooed with orotesaue and barbaric desions which he exhibits with pride. But the most astonishing of his freaks is to 'enlist a squad of Japanese bovs, purchased from their parents, and" make them ficht against trained monkeys dressed as Chinese soldiers.
