TO O COINCIDENCES.

MIGHT HAVE FURNISHED FOOD FOR THE WILDEST CREDULITY.

Mr. Clinton WUM Naturally AittoriiRlied at What tin- Doctor's Servant Told Hiiu. Hon- a Bn'.tiiiiori- Man Recovered Family I'late Stolen Ve:ir« Before.

Here urn two veritable coincidences relutoci at a Boston diuner table erstwhile. Both might have been basqtl upon any kind-yf uncanny, fateful manipulation of circumstances, seemingly impossible in the natural order, had they been introduced by any such motive. They are simply rare and curious sequeuces of facts, true in everything but names of persons.

Mr. Clinton lived in Dorchester,where he had a large establishment. One night his child's nurse was taken suddenly ill with a kind of spasm. The woman's services to the infant had been invaluable, and her faithfulness had won her the respect and affection of her master. As tbe coachman happened to be away that evening aud the necessity for the services of a physician was urgent, Mr. Clinton saddled his horse and rode hastily into town and was very soon ringing at the door of the family doctor, in Boylston street. His inquiry of the servant maid who opened it if the doctor was at home was met by a reply which stupefied him for a moment, so that he fell back against the wall of the passage and forgot the exigency of his errand. "Dr. J. is out," said the girl. "Mr. Clinton, a patient of his, came in on horseback an hour ago, and asked him to come out of town to see a nurse in his family who was in convulsions." Recovering from the shock of an apparent doppelgauger thus forced upon his conception, questioning elicited the fact that the second patient, bearing his own name, lived in Charlestown. In all other things the circumstances concerning two persons of the same patronymic was identical. The hour, the illness, the vocation of the sufferer, the arrival on horseback, were accidental coincidences which led nowhere and meant nothing, though they might, with stimulating attributes, have furnished food for ttye wildest credulity.

A member of the B. family of Baltimore was sent for one evening to see a convict who had expressed such an urgent desire for the interview that the jailer acceded to his request to send the message, which conveyed the singular intimation that it might be much to the gentleman's advantage if he would come to the prison. He found an evil looking fellow who, having just received a long sentence, which would in all probability be a life one, had been moved by remorse to communicate to Mr. B. certain facts in connection with a robbery of his family plate in which he said he had been concerned several years before. The robber told his astonished hearer, who had long given up any hope of detecting the criminal or recovering the property, that he and another were concerned in the crime. The silver had been placed in a bundle which was in his possession. His confederate was to meet him at an agreed place on the niglit following the burglary and they were then to make off together, but if he failed to keep tbe appointment it was a signal of danger, and the fellow who had the "swag" was to understand that he had better get it out of his hands without delay and secure his own safety. The appointment was not kept, and the thief, desiring to make an effort at restitution, however unlikely, had sent for Mr. B. to tell him that he had thrown the package over the wall of a certain graveyard which he described, and that it had fallen within the door of a tomb which was standing open and of which he indicated the position.

Expressing suitable recognition of the intentions of the repentant criminal, Mr. B. left him, scarcely intending to pursue tbe matter further. The next morning, however, found him at tho door of the sexton in charge of the burying place. The sexton, on hearing the description of the tomb, showed at first some confusion, which Mr. B. understood when he was reminded that the tomb described was his own family vault, and the sexton, who had at once remembered a gross carelessness of his own, went on to recall the fact that the time was that of the death and burial of a cousin of the family, and to acknowledge that he had never forgotten or forgiven himself the accidental leaving of the door of the tomb open the night following the funeral. The two repaired to the tomb and found the package inclosed within it, the silver tarnished, bnt untouched, just as the thief had cast the family plate, by an nnequaled coincidence, into the family burial place of its owners.—Boston Transcript.

A Novel Will.

There has been unearthed among a bundle of old court documents at Baltimore tbe following unique will, executed by Mrs. Anna E. Kuhn years ago. It reads as follows: "This, my last will and testament, I bequeath all my jewelry to Kate, my old clothes to Anna, my books to Frank, my good wishes to Herman and Philip, aud request that they go to church at least six times a year, and a sweet memory of myself to my loving better half, and also my inheritance from my fathor to go to Anna and Kate jointly. My last wish. Anna E. Kuhn."

Hicks—I'm in hard luck. Wicks—How so? Hicks—Why, here's a money order that I've just got for $20, and the only man in town that can identify me to the money order clerk is one that I owe $30 to.—Somerville Journal.

He advised the church to discuBB social and economic problems. Debs is not orthodox and it is considered a piece of liberal mindodness that ho was asked to occupy the pulpit.
