STORY OF

A BANK CHECK.

Xondon Times. What I have to tell is absolutely true. It did not happen exactly as I shall try to write it. The only thing I „,J(J

might by lengthening out the story counlrv

I suppose few people who have had direct transactions with banks are not aware that errors sometimes happen. The heads of firms rarely are acquainted with such mistakes. It is the business of clerks who have the checks cashed to see that the amounts paid them are correct. Paying tellers if they do err are rather likely to pay too much than too little. Should they give more money than the face of the check calls for, if the receiver of the money is dishonest, then the payer does not always hear about it. If he underpays the demand for the difference is invariably made at once. I am rather inclined to repeat the assertion that in such mistakes as are made in the rush of business it is the commoner error to pay too much. Sometimes a very tired man, whose brain has been too long on the stretch, or who is ill or nervous, mistakes the number of the check for the amount, and pays away some thousands instead of hundreds. I have known this to happen in aNew York bank to a young friend of mine. He had sufficient good judgment not to embarrass the paying teller by making any noise about it. He resumed his place in the line, handed back his bank-book, politely requested the teller to look at the check he had presented, the amount he had received, and it was all so quietly done that he

and our check-book was in con stant demand. I made out the checks and kept the bank account, but did not have the signature of the firm. Generally, for greater security, when the amounts were large, I drew out the money myself. A great many of the transactions we were engaged in required us to pay at once to the individual the hard cash.

The paying teller of our bank in the business season had all. he could attend to. The money to be paid for an agricultural product very much in demand would on some days make the cash disbursements of this bank amount to $750,000. I remembered that on one occasion, looking at the teller, he seemed tired and depressed. Presenting my check for some amount less than $1,000—wanted by me in $5 and $10 bills—he overpaid me $50. He had counted the money over twice before missing it to me. I recounted the money, found the error, and, being pressed for time, could not return the $50 until after 3 o'clook. The teller was obliged to me, but I noticed that he bore a worried look. A month after this we had some balances to pay a customer living out of the city, amounting to $456. A check was drawn by me, handed to the creditor, and his account was balanced. The business entirely dropped out of my mind.

Some three months afterward the firm received a letter from this man, which was rather ambiguouBofits kind. There was an error, so he said, in his account. Would we look over it? At once I examined the books, checked off every item, went through all the debts and credits of his business, and ended by inspecting the final check pai.d him. My employers, who were very honest and careful gentlemen, were satisfied with the accuracy of the account, and I was instructed to write him a letter to that effect. I did so, as politely as I could, but at the conclusion of my letter I said: "You leave us in the dark, however, as to one thing. Three months have elapsed since our check was given to you. If you had not bee paid what was due you we should have certainly heard from you before. Have you been overpaid? My senior employer, a shrewd business man, looking over my letter, remarked. "Perhaps vour question here might not be liked by Mn However let it go." I lied the letter. We heard nothing

But, thank God, I made it up I mortgaged my house, and passed the amount short to the credit of the bank. I must have made a blunder somewhere. But the strain on my mind has been killing ine. I feel as if I were no longer fit for the place." He seemed to me to have moments of doubt and uncerteint 'I still cling to my place,' he said. course, I have no recollection of having ever paid that check of $456. I said to him "that I had hopes of getting some of the money back, but I did not like to tell him how. But what I did do was to go that evening to the president of the bank and state the case to him. As it had been through him that I owed my position in the firm he had every eonfidence in me. Mv advice was asked. "I was forced to declare that I thought the payin® teller had better be given another an lighter position. Next day when I went to the bank the old teller had been apparently relieved. He was costing up some accounts in the ledger. When I spoke to him across the railing he did not seem to raogmze me. -vrJLf dfty I was shocked to learn, through the president of the bank, that such positive indications of mental trouble had been shown by the teller that his friends had thoughiit wiser to

If I had been aggressive before probably not a cent would have been returned. I wrote now a sharp letter. I said: "That a very large amount of money must have been paid him over and above the face of the last check given him, which was for $456." I stated, "that I knew exactly how much it was." I must confes3 outright that this was a bluff. I was not sure that the teller had not made other mistakes besides this one. I wrote that "unless the money was at once restored I would blast his reputation. If he was inclined to be honest, even at this late date, let him do all he could, and send back the whole amount." I thought it wiser not to let him know the mental condition of the teller. I was quite certain that if he knew that the teller was out of his mind not one penny would he return. I wrote to him "that he must be in a hurry about it. That only the teller and I knew of it, and that my firm were as yet in ignorance."

point from brevity. The moral is the £ame old true one, that honesty is the best policy. When a man is tempted to commit a wicked action it often happens that the injury done another becomes irTeparable. There is a sequence in all dishonest transactions which escapes the evil-doer. Effect follows cause. This may come instantly, as quickly as an explosion which the hammer of the gun-lock strikes the cap containing the fulminate, or the fire may hang back, but it will come some day or other. Thin is a longer preamble than I thought would be drawn from my pen, but as I am not a young man I may indulge in such comments, because in the life of any one who has passed the half-century the force of the inevitable constantly occurs to him. A man of my age has been long enough in this world to have seen passing before him many a sad drama he has been present at the very first scene, and has been an unwilling witness of the terrible conclusion.

At once, by return mail. I had a letter. The Bum was not, as he said, what I represented it to be. He made some specious arguments about a man finding a purse, and the description of it not tallying with the actual purse lost or the amount in it. Under such circumstances, was a man bound to return it? If I could prove he had been overpaid I ought to state_exactly what wa9 the amount. He might, he added, "never have written me a word about it, and no one would have been the wiser. But he had a conscience," so he said. I reolied with a vigorous letter. I confuted his arguments. "He knew," I said, "the moment he had the bank notes passed over to him tbat he had been overpaid." A man might find a piece of gold in the dust of the mad, and could never tell who dropped it there. But there was no analogy between the two cases. I

cried

"for immediate restora­

tion, or there would be an exposure." His answer did not come for ten days. "I was mistaken," he said. "He was not aware that he had been overpaid until he got home. Then he did not know of it for a week afterward. It came out then in his accounts." 1 knew this to be a wicked lie, but it contained at least the written acknowledgement that he had been overpaid. His letter concluded as follows: "The matter has worried me considerably has taken up a great deal of my time, and time for me is money. Don't you think there should be compensation allowed me, or in other words, can't we make a compromise?" (Oh, the blackguard!) "If such a thing could be arranged I will come to the city and pay over to you the money. I am. not afraid of the bank. I consider that my transactions have been with your firm."

The money overpaid by the teller had been some $4,000 and he had probably counted out $4,560 instead of $456. I hated to do it, but I

"He would take the $500. It wasn't very much. The bank was ever so rich. Corporations had no souls." I consulted with the bank president, who thought it was better to close with the man. Would it be believed that that wretch and his wife came to apparently on a pleasure trip? He had done a sharp and a clever piece of business. He had not the least compunctions of conscience. He came to the office of an evening, and I do not hesitate in saying that in my hip pocket there was a revolver. He handed me over something less than $2,000, asserting that the amount received less the traveling expenses and the $500 made up this balance. When the money had been transferred by me to the safe I gave him a piece of ray mind. I did not spare him. I heaped on him every insulting epithet I could think of. Then he showed his temper, which was an ugly one. "Now," said I, (remember I was 26 then, and hotter blood ran through my veins than to-day,) "you are worse than a thief you area murderer. You have wrecked an honest man's brains. That teller of the bank, whose money you took, has lost his reason. He will, I am afraid, never be a sane m.m again. This is your work." That seamed to cow him. ''Your repentence comes too late, thate you so that—God forgive me—had you as much as lifted a finger against me, I should not have hesitated in killing you like a dog, and no jury in the land Would have touched a hair of my head. Go out of this city by the early morning train,or I will make you." That wretch left tlie oliice like a whipped cur. "What was th?- sequel?

A sad one. The bank teller lapsed into a melancholy condition, which rendered all mental labor ii: possible. He had some little money, but many friendB, and such few comforts as he required were ungrudgingly given him. He died ten years ago. He never did completely recover his senses. As to the canting rascal, his fate was a dire one. Somehow the whole story came out, though I did not divulge it. In that section of country where he lived he was discredited. He took to drink, and became a confirmed inebriate. He neglected his business, and his plantation was sold. His wife sought and obtained a divorce. Two years ago I read that in a brawl in the most degraded quarter of a town in Alabama this man met death in a negro dance house.

To Cure Round Shoulders. Letter in New York Tribune. More than thirty years ago I got a habit of being round shouldered. In trying to find a remedy, the following plan, which grew out of my knowledge of anatomy, came in sight: Hook the fingers of the hands together raise the elbows as high as the shouldeis and pull like a shoemaker. The muscles about the shoulder blades, to keep them in place, are thus strengthened, and in a short time enabled to fulfill their proper office. While lying on the back press the head on the pillow so as to raise the chest up from the. bed on which you are reclining. This strengthens the muscles that should hold the head erect While standing or sitting, where the head can press against something solid, repeat the operation. By a little thought at other times to use these muscles, the difficulty may be overcome.

The Population of Mexico. Galveston News. The census of Mexico gives the population at 9,686,777. No state has a million, two states have less than 100,000, and several states have less than 200,000 inhabitants. But Secor Romero ihinfra that the population is really not far from 12,000,000. Eighty-two per cent, of the population lies south of the parallel of Tampico. More than half the wealth of the republic lies south of the northern boundary of the federal district in which Mexico City is situated.

WOMEN GAMBLERS

Members of the Fair Sex Who Dabble In Stocks and Options. Cleveland Herald. "Do women ever speculate?" inquired a reporter of a broker, yesterday. "Oh, yes, there are many women who speculate, especially in Chicago and New York," "To what extent do they operate here?" "Well, there are quite a number of ladies in this city who speculate rather extensively, but, of course, they do so very quietly, and it is not generally known. I know of one lady in particular who is as sharp an operator as you can find. She is the wife of a business man, and makes a great deal more money than he does, although he handles a large amount of currency every day. I have known her to make thousands of dollars in a single deal. She operates in New York mostly, and goes there two or three times every year. She had considerable money when she was married, and is worth three or four times as much now. She operates entirely independent of her husband, and he never touches her money. I tell you she's sharp. But while we are talking about the matter," continued the broker, "I must say that I don't want to do business with them. I have often had women come to me for advice, but I always discourage them and say I don't want anything to do with them." "Why soi do they squeel louder than men when they get left?" "Well, not exactly, but they are a nuisance generally. If a woman has plenty of money to put up the margin on the spot, I would not care so much, but when they haven't I don't want to do business with them. If they were all like the lady I told you about it would be another matter, but you won't find one like her in every thousand or more." "I was very much amused the other day," continued the man of margins "a lady called at my house and spoke about a subscription for a church. She talked on tbat subject for awhile and finally said that she didn't call for that purpose at all, but wanted me to make a deal in oil for her. I told her that I didn't care about doing so, and she left looking rather disappointed." "Are there any establishments here devoted entirely to ladies?" "No but there are quite a number in New York and Chicago. There was one here, but I believe they ceased operations a day or so ago. You go around to some of the other brokers and ask them about women speculators, and I've no doubt but you can pick up some interesting points. I haven't had much to do in that line myself." "Womeu, as a rule, beat men all to pieces as speculators," said another gentleman. "They make money when men won't. Why, in Chicago four bucket-shops, to my knowledge, have been broken up by them, and there was one here that went the same way. They'll break a bucket-Bhop every time." "What's the secret of their success?" "Why, this. If they see the market going against them they will drop it quicker than a flash, while a man would hold on. Then if the market goes in their favor, they always close it out before it turns the other way, even if it hadn't run up more than 1 cent, when a man will hold on hoping it will reach 2 or 4 cents, and ofteW get left by doing so." "How many women in this city are in the business?" "Quite a number. They operate on telephone very generally." "What do they deal in principally? "Everything—stocks, grain, provisions and oil. As a usual thing they take small amounts, but there area few women who deal heavily. I know two or tmree who do." "What kind of women are they "Some of the best women in the city. Those I know live on Euclid avenue and Prospect street, and, of course, are members of the very best society. I think if some women would open rooms here in some place near the Square, or up tiiar way, iney would be largely patronized if ladies wereadmitied exclusively." "Women are the most blankety blank nuisances in this business that can be imagined," said another broker, as he stood beside his ticker. "I never had very much to do with them, and I want frt Thpv'rA tArrihlft. A

don't want to. They're terrible. A woman came in here not long ago and bought June and August wheat. That's what we call straddling, you know. Well, the June went up and the August went down. She said, 'Why, I take my margins on une, I guess.' •Well, how about your August?'said I. 'I'll let that alone for a while, I guess.' That's the way they generally are. They are always ready to take up for their losses. If they lose, they'll sue you for it sure. Oh, no I don't want women in my business. "What has your experience with women as operators?" was asked of another. "They are very keen, was the response "but if they lose they will sue a broker every time. I know quite a number of ladies who are doing business in this city, and some of them are making money!" "There was a woman here whose husband died not long ago," said another gentleman. "He left her some money, so she put a sum into my hands to use for her. She did not deal very largely, but she came out ahead. She drew the greater part of the margins and left the principal with me. She met with a few losseB recently and quit."

While the reporter was circulating among the broker's offices he meta Euclid avenue lady, whose name had been mentioned by one of the brokers as making heavy deals. "Are you writing up the brokers she inquired, "Not the brokers, but lady speculators." "Well, let me tell you what I think about it. In my opinion it is no worse for women to speculate than it is for men, and it would not be considered so if it were only popular in the city. In New York there are several establishments devoted exclusively to la-

dies, and they are patronized by some of the best ladies in the city. I have a friend there whom I go to see occasionally. We have been to the offices together. It is the general idea, however, that women must wash or sew for a living but I do not think so, when we could make money by speculating. Why, if I had money to invest I would put it right into Wabash to-day. I have two lady friends in this city who are making money right along by operating through one ot the banks, and more would do the same thing if, as I said, it would become more popular. I wish some one would open an office for ladies. It would be well patronized, I am sure."

A Canine Ball Player.

Cincinnati Enquirer. The owner of the poodle gave a whistle and pointed at the ball, whereupon the animal in a moment dropped its lethargic apeearance and began to leap around in a state of great excitement, barking at the top of its lungs. The young man drew off, as the saying is, and sent the ball high into the air, the quick eye of the poodle following it from the start, but not until it turned and began to come down did he move. Then, dodging about for a few moments, as the ball fell he opened his capacious mouth and caught it with a sock that was heard a hundred yards away. "Want another trial?" asked the owner, as his dog laid -the ball at his feet* "No, that settles it," replied the young man. "What nine does he belong to?" "Oh, he belongs to a private combination was the answer. "Now I'll show you what he can do. Go out thATA JflpJc I"

The dog ran into the field, and as this master'delivered a red-hot ball di-

rectly at him he received it without a quiver, finally taking a Beat with his owner in the twecty-five cent row. "Is that dog for for sale?" inquired a gentleman who sat next him. "Now, sir," replied the owner. "He's worth about $50 a week to me as a ball-player. Between you and me, if I can ever get a bet started with a Johnny Fresh, like that chap over there, that the dog won't muff a ball, I'm sure of the money." "No, I never gave him any particular training. He belonged to a gang of boys that were always playing, and first got to running after the ball and bringing it to the pitcher. When I first came across him he was center field of a nine, and knew so much that he would grab a ball and run to any base they told him to. I've seen him jump and take a foul on the first bounce. I practiced with him first with slow balls on the fly, and his teeth are fixed so that a ball just fits in and the best part of it is that he seems to like it, and now never misses a ball that he can get to in time."

IiOBD DRUMMOND IN HARD Tfv* liUCK.

Thrown Oat of Employment by the Failure of Carhart, Whitford & Co. New York Herald.

The story of George Essex Montifex, by courtesy Lord Drummond and heir to the earldom of Perth and Melfort in the peerage of Scotland, is familiar to the readers of the Herald. He is the grandson of the present earl of Perth and Melfort, who is also Lord Drummond of Cargill, Lord Drummond of Stobhall and Montifex, Viscount Melfort and Forth, and Lord Drummond of Kickertoua, Castlemaine and Galatoun in the peerage of Scotland hereditary Thane of Lennox and hereditary steward of Monteith and Strathearn, Duke de Melfort, Comte le Lussan and Baron de Valrose in France. This gentleman will be 75 years old on June 28. His first son died in infancy his second married in 1855 Mary, niece of the earl of Essex. To them one son was born, George Essex Montifex. The father died in 1861 and the mother at Lima in 1868.

It was the story of this young man that has been told in the Herald. He was born in September, 1856. While still in his teiens he fell in love with and secretly married his step-grand-mother's maid, a young woman somewhat older than himself. His grandfather was very angry and the newly married couple flea to America, taking steerage passage to this city. Since reaching these shores he has worked as porter in a warehouse, seaman on a sailing vessel and clerk in a'South street shipping house. The firm failed while he was in its employ, and, unable to find employment in this city, Lord Drummond and -his wife and child moved over to the south shore of Long Island, then not so popular as now, where, with a little hut for habitation, he succeeded in eking out a precarious living by shooting and selling game. It was at this same time that the Herald learned about him and printed his story.

It was here, two or three years ago, that George Drummond, as he is called, met the senior member of the -fit m- of Oarh«i-t|—Wbiiiotd &-Cq.. thjB. great wholesale clothing firm which made an assignment last week. Admiring the pluck of the young Mr. Carhart gave him a place in his store, and lie has since earned a comfortable living in the packing department of that establishment. He lived with his wife in a cosy little house at No. 2

Poplar street. He -had completed ar rangements to sail for Europe last week, partly in the interest cl the firm, and had intended to pay a visit to his old home and try to bring about a reconciliation with his grandparents, who on several occasions have tried to persuade him to leave his wife and return to them. He says he felt that time must have softened their hearts and confidently expected, when he presented himself in person before the old people and pleaded for the wife who had been true to him during many years of trial, that they would relent and bid him send for her. He was to have sailed by one of last Saturday's steamers, but last week the crash 00(^0 uncapCUtBUiy tO tlie^im}, and instead of going to Europe on Saturday he was discharged, in company with seventy-five other employes of the broken firm.

A Herald reporter sought for Lord Drummond yesterday in the packing cellar of Carhart, Whitford & Co., on Canal street and found him fast asleep in a chair behind a pile of hugh boxes. The really handsome face wore a look of care which did not seem natural to it and he slept as* if tired out with a night of worry. It was some little time before he awoke. "Yes, I am out of work again," he said, after a cordial greeting. "I have been down town to-day looking for something to do, but the prospects are not encouraging. We were not very well prepared for the blow, I must confess, and I must find something to do pretty soon. I am willing to do almost any kind of work and to take very little remuneration. I adapt myself very easily to circumstances." "Aren't you beginning to get discouraged after so many rebuffs?" inquired the reporter. "I am discouraged, but not disheartened. After knocking about for so many years, I think I will be able to make my way somehow through this trouble. "If you would desert your family I suppose you could go home and be forgiven?". "Oh, yes they would undoubtedly be glad to see me under the circumstances."

Aren't you.sometimes tempted to oo so." "Never.!" (indignantly). "I have no thought of deserting them. I bnt he would not say anything more on the subject.

The reporter asked Lord Drummond what he thought of the lihinelander case, which has many points of similarity to his. He replied that he knew nothing about it. He had been too much absorbed in his own troubles lately to read the papers. "If you hear of a job of

any

kind I wish ^ou

would let me know," he said in closing tbe interview. "Remember, I am not proud, and I would not despise a very humble situation—for the time being, at least."

A Famous Lock of Hair. Troy Times. It would appear that in Russia, as well as in many other countries, a lock of hair is considered a single pledge of the tender passion. Mdlle. Alice, the favorite Parisian actress, glories in the possession of auburn ringlets, and would not part with one of them for less than a duchy. Two Russian nobleman, the Count de L. and Baron M., were both suitors for the lady's smiles, and both happened to have hair of the same golden hue as that of their mutual dulcinea. Each begged a lock of her hair in exchange for a lock of bis own, to which the charming creature readily assented and, without touching a single tuft of her head, managed to effect an exchange of parcels, by which each gentleman received a curl of his rival's capillaries. The count now wears the baron's hair next to his heart, and the baron sleeps with the count's scalp lock ander his pillow. a r-

JAY GOCLiD'S HOUSES.

His Den and the History of Lyndhurst at Irvington.., Utica Herald.

In the midst of all his wealth Gould remains as simple in his habitB as ever, and in this point he resembleB Napoleon, who could eat even a state dinner in ten minutes. He owns a theater, but who erver saw him at one of its performances? He buys no costly pictures, and no $25,000 horses, leaving the one to Yanderbilt and the other to Bonner. His Irvington establishment is his sole exception, and of this he sees comparatively but little. His yacht seems also to be of but little use, as he has only had one voyage, and was then glad to get back to Wall street. In fact, Gould's personal expenses (food and clothing) are not greater than those of many a clerk on $1,500 a year. His ambition is to wield power and use it in the most selfish and relentless manner. The enemies he has thus made render it necessary for him to have a body guard when he ventures into the street, and Morosini is very useful in this respect Had he indeed been present when Salover assaulted Gould the latter would never have been tossed down the steps that led to the barber's shop. It is not surprising that Gould avoids that spot. Its associations are decidedly unpleasant.

Gould generally travels on the road because the crowd is so great that he escapes notice and there is less danger of personal violence. Being «. little man he slips in easily, takes a seat and hides himselt in a newspaper. His favorite resort at home is in a room on the first floor, which is fitted up as a railroad studio. Huge maps made for his special use cover the walls, and ou these lines of track are drawn in red and black, and in (his way he can study the best available routes. For instance, when he got control of Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, a line drawn on his map from Scranton to Buffalo showed how naturally the road might be extended, and this project was at once put into opeartion, thus making a trunk road. Visitors to this room-are astonished to find all the important lines in the country, both of rail and telegraph, thus delineated, and to these Gould has devoted hours of close study. The book shelves are laden with railroad reports and laws and decisions on this subject, which form Gould's choicest reading. Consequently in all litigation his lawyers find him a master on the subject. David Dudley Field indeed considers Gould equal to himself on railway law, and finds great satisfaction in having such a client. In this room Gould passes all his spare time, which on Sundays is considerable. Why should such a man waste an hour in church when he has a sanctuary at home devoted to a kind of worship?

Gould's establishment at Irvington has very peculiar associations. The original building is by no means new, but its grandeur is sucfti that it holds distinction even in these days of progress. Many years ago William Paulding was a lawyer in this city, and made a large fortune, -attaining also to trre--mgnit|---Tjr-in^rr-TvrucTiM his wealth was in real estate on the Hud son, and his two Bons, Frederick and Philip, became on his death promi nent as rich young men. But they died early, and their wealth has beqn scattered. The former was the grandfather of the play actor, Frederick Paulding, who is now the sole representative of the family. He has retired from the stage on account of ill-health, and now lives in this city, Philip Paulding had an ambition to build the finest dwelling in America. He selected a river front of extended view and in due time a marble palace attracted the admiration of tourists, Its chief feature was an oriel window of rare beauty, which is still'justly ad mired. Paulding, however, soon sickened of his grand house, which in fact he never completely finished, and the admiring tourists "would have been surprised, bad they visited the spot, to find the owner a disappointed man

as&r&e"

went into the hands of an executor, who embezzled it,. and] the heira are now poor. Gould bought the place, which he enlarged and improved at an immense cost, and on his hands it became Lyndhurst, the grandest establishment on the banks of the Hudson.

UNREPORTED CRIMES. ..

Murders the Coroner Never Hears of. New York Commercial-Advertiser. "You wonder why doctors take such cynical views of human nature," quoth a medical graybeard to the writer one evening as he Btudied the rings of smoke from his after-dinner cigar.

You talk of murder always revealing itself—of the restlessness of the murderer until his secret has been told— his terrible dreams by night—his nervous starts when one addresses him suddenly. All sentimental fancy, my dear fellow! I could name nrarderers at this moment, men and women, too, who know that their hands are red, yet sleep just as comfortably as you or I, and are not in the least'troubled by the fact. "Let me give you a case. Less than a year ago I was called to tne Bick room of an old gentleman who had amassed a handsome fortune in business and retired. His wife was still living and he had one son—a very meek and pious young man of thirty— who was apparently devoured with "anxiety. The old gentleman's case was one of senescent amemia merely, combined with the nervous exhaustion and tendency to collapse attendant upon such cases of old age. There was ten years' left in him, properly managed, though at the moment he was very low, and required most careful handling from both nurse and physician. He was half comatose when I first saw him but with a little judicious use of stimulent hia senses returned, and he was enabled to speak freely. As the young man was very anxious, after prescribing regular doseB of beef tea and brandy and telling him how to administer them, I cautioned him that his father's heart was very feeble in its action. 'Mind,' I said, 'on no account must the old gentleman's head be lifted from the pillow for an instant, or I will not be answerable for the consequences.' Then I explained to him that, while the brain was level with the body, and the blood had only to be propelled horizontally, the heart was relieved of tbe greater part of its ordinary work—that of lifting the column of blood necessary to Bupply the brain and spinal marrow to the height of about two feet. 'Your father is so exhausted,' I added for the information of the exemplary son, 'that he will probably die instantly if my directions are not implicitly carried out. If they are, he will likely recover, and live for some years yet. I will drop in again in the morning.' "When I called in the next day, between 11 and 12 o'clock, there was crape on the door and the young man told me, with the profoundest sorrow depicted on hie visage, that the old gentleman had expired in his arms about 2 o'clock at night. In other words, the very directions I had given to the young man had furnished the clew upon which he acted to obtain possession of his father's fortune a few years in advance of his natural death from old age. Did he mean it? Something—I can't say just what—a shade of suppressed exultation was the case.

And will you believe it? Knowing that I suspected him of being a murderer—for I did not conceal my wrath —the young man disputed my bill, and I had to collect it by legal process. I got it, though, to the last nickel. "I'll give you another case, which a termination was averted by prompt action on my part. The patient was a married woman, subject to

such violent attacks of neuralgia that I was obliged to resort to hypodermic injections of morphia, and a phial of Magendie's solution was kept on the mantle in the sick room. One afternoon I was called in great haste, found the woman half mad with pain, hastily filled the syrenge from tbe phial and injected the contents into her ai m. 1 have a habit of blowing through the needle after UBing it, to expel the solution and prevent corrosion of the thread-like passage. When I took the end between my lips I noticed a sweetish taste very unlike that of solution of morphia. "Puzzled by this fact, I tested the contents of the phial to satisfy my scruples, and mars the discovery I made! Instead cf morphia, it contained a suturated water and glycerine solution of carbolic acid, unless I acted promptly, before the solution was diffused in the circulation, my patient had not more than ten minutes to live. In fivesecondsl had laid open the puncture with a sharp scalpel, squeezed and sponged the incision, removed the greater part of the carbolic acid from the pocket formed by the rupture of the tissues under pressure, and closed the, opening. The woman never knew how near she had been to death.. I made cautious inquiries, and learned that her husband was the only person who had been in the room since the phial was placed on the mantel during my last visit." "Before leaving the house I sought an interview with the husband, carrying the phial exposed in my hand. I looked the man straight in the eye, and told him that his wife was very ill needed a nurse to take care of her, and

I should return with one in an hour or two, who would receive all the necessary instructions how to act from myself personally. The man acquiesced with an uneasy glance at the pnial, and you may be sure I kept my word on the nurse question. "Any old practitioner can give you of similar cases," concludes the octor, knocking the ashes from his cigar. "And, with such incidents occurring more or less constantly, doctors take rather cynical views of human nature. Cases of heroic devotion come under our observation often enough to offset these secret crimes, perhaps but somehow, humanity is so constituted that the crimes make the deepest impression and are longest remembered. There are scores of these indirect murders that the coroner never hears of."

THE BABY'S SECOND SUMMER.

Some Points About the Management of Toung Children in Hot Weather. Philadelphia Times.

There are three sources from which harm to the children may be anticipated during the coming three months. These are the process of teething, indigestion and the heat. An account of the troubles incident to-these circumstances would now be seasonable and possibly interesting to many. At all events these matters are standard topics of conversation among mothers, evidence that they at least know of the gravity of the troubles in question.

Although a thermonSeter is not exactly indispensable where there are young children, yet it is a great convenience, for until the external-tern-perature rises to BOtfOt 90 degrees, little trouble may be expected from the heat. Troubles due to the cause just named are best combated by frequent sponging of the face, arm?, hands and feet with simple cool water. Children that are BO treated wiil be much less liable to be affected by the heat and other matters now to be spoken of.

The liability to indigestion increases as the summer heat approaches the maximum point. In the treatment of this trouble the old rule about prevention will be especially useful. At this time the avoidance of fat and heated foods and of unwholesome breast and other milk are very important points. The foods most suitable for summer use can be named in short order. Use the moBt nutritious and digestible substances that can be commanded. Meats baked or boiled used cold. Cold cap custard, rice pudding, cold, gOGd ice cream, milk and sponge cake are prime articles of summer diet ^nto^cfm^tha'rSnr

The eruption of, the teeth goes on most vigorously during the second year of the child's life, and makes unusual demands on its vital powers. This circumstance accounts for the more serious outlook of all diseases that may occur at this period of the child's lite. When a child is teething and appears in great general distress, with perhaps a hot and dry skin, much relief may be afforded by allowing ah abundance of cold water to drink and by a cool bath, followed by sharp rubbings of all parts of the child's body. But if, on the other hand, the child should be attacked by sudden vomiting and purging, with much apparent weakness and cool skin, medical advice should be had with all speed. While waiting for the coming of the doctor, a drop of the best brandy, in hot sweetened water should be given by the mouth. Hot spice plasters applied to various parts of the body, notably the stomach, would be useful.

GAIL HAMILTON.

An Autobiographical Sketch. As considerable interest centers around "Gail Hamilton" as one of the possible future occupants of the White House, we give, for the benefit of our readers, an autobiographical sketch of Mrs. Dodge, written some years since by herself in response to an earnest request from "Fannie Fern" for data:

My Dear Mrs. Fern: The coolness of you New Yorkers is astonishing. You are about to burn me at the Btake, and will I have the goodness to send on shavings and dry wood by next mail? Thank vou, madam, I will. "Life and sufferings of 'Gail Hamilton,' written by itself, and with former translations diligently compared and revised."

To the best of my knowledge and belief, 1 wap born in the New York Independent some time during the latter half of the present century. Simultaneously of thereabout I was born in the National Era. So I must be twins. On tbat ground it has never been satisfactorily settled whether I am myself or Mrs. Simpsop, of Washington. If I am Mrs. Simpson, I am the wife of an officer who, to his infinite regret, was not killed in tbe late unpleasantness.

0 8

On one point cbmmentators are agreed, that I am not an "eminent woman of my time."

And all that I ask is to be let alone. From the Independent I graduated into the Congregationalist, of blessed memory and from the Era I paddled over into the Atlantic. I flourish in immortal vigor on the cover of Our Young Folks, and at sundry timeBand in divers other manners and placer have, I fear, contributed to the dete rioration of our)youth.

I sadly confess, also, that I am guilty of as many books as Mrs. Rogers had small children but being written in love and meekness they are held in high eBteem, especially by men.

Such unhappy fellow sufferers is my thrilling story. If any one ehall add unto these things let him tremble lest I imprecate upon him all the plagues of the apocalypse and if any person shall dare saddle any other man or woman with the sins which I alone have perpetrated, I say prophetically to such saddler, Lord Angus, thou hast—!

Thanking yon for your friendly words, and Rejoicing, like King David in his great strait, that I am not to fall in the hands of men, I am, very spectfully,

The Alps contain two peaks above 15,000 feet, six or seven above 14,000 feet, and in all about thirty which are called first class peaks. The Himalayas, on the other hand or rather the limited part of them with which we are familar, contain peaks from 29,000 feet downward. More than 1,100 have been measured exceeding 20,000 feet, and it is computed that at least 2,000 exceed this height.

TWISTED FACTS 'V

Wonder Stories of tho Summer Time That are Stranger than Fiction

NORTH OAHOLINA LIGHTNING* Mr. J. W, McWhirter was leaning against a telegraph pole in Charlotte, N. C., while a storm was approaching. Simultaneously with a sharp flash of lightning he felt his hat jerk Bharply. He gulled it from his head and found the tim in a blaze, which he quickly extinguished. The electric fluid burned a small hole in his hat that looked as if it had been made by a pistol shot. He says that he felt no shock whatever and that it seemed as if some one had caught his hat and gave it a quick jerk.

ABOUND HIS LEG.

While Charlie Graber, a farmer near Pennsburg, was resting his team the other day, he dropped into a doze, sitting on the plow handles. When he awoke he found a great big black snake coiled around his leg. Be tried to knock it off with his fist, but it only held the tighter. While jumping around he discovered four others approaching him, which so frightened him that he was about to faint, when his old dog put in an appearance, and speedily made whip-crackers of the whole lot The smallest one was five feet long.

PET FROGS

Dr. Townson, a noteu stuueni of nature, bad a pair of pet frogs which he named Damon and Musidoia, and placed a bowl of water in the window where they lived, which they regularly visited every evening. After half an hour passed by either of them in the water, he useel to find that they had absorbed half their weight. They ejected water to a considerable distance, and often suffered their pray to remain before them untouched as long as it was still, but when it made the slightest motion they iustantly seized it. Dr. Townson made a provision of dead flies for Musidora, to serve her during winter, but she would never take them till he moved them with his breatb.

A narrow escape and a heroic rescue occurred on tbe Northern railroad bridge this side of Montville, Tuesday night.

Just as he was about to close his eyes to shut out the lrag dy the man up the womm, threw her ovf-r lb.- r.il into the v. !er below, and vaulted over himr i- and rescued the woman from drov g.

THE MAN WITHOUT A PACE

A French Soldier With a Remarkable Wound. There is to be seen at Landrecies, in the department of the north, says the London Globe, an invalid artillery soldiers who was wounded in the late Franco-German war, when he was horribly multilated by the bursting of a Prussian shell. The man's face was literally blown off, including both eyes, hAinrr lffi. hfthiml—nn nn remnants of the osseous and muscular systems. The skull, which is well covered with hair, was left intact, so that the man had a most hideons and ghastly appearance. This disfigurement has been completely concealed by a mask, which was' made for him under the direction of the principal medical officer of Val de Grace, in PariB, whither he had been transferred from the field ambulance. The mask was constructed by a surgeon-dentist named Delalain. It includes a false palate and a complete set of false teeth and it is so perfect that the functions of respiration and mastication, which were necessarily and imperfectly performed, are aimost completely restored to their normal condition, and the voice, which was rather husky, has resumed its natural tone. The man speaks distinctly, the sense of smell, which had entirely disappeared, has returned, and he can even play the flute. He wears two false eyes, simply to fill up the cavities of the orbits, for the parts representing the eyes in the mask are closed. In fact, the mask is so well adapted to what remains of the real face as to be considered one of the finest specimens of the prothetic art that could be devised.

The man himself, whose name is Moreau, and who is in perfect health, is looked upon as a living curiosity, and travelers go'a good deal out of their way to see him. His face, or rather his mask, is, of course, without any expression, but his special senses, particularly that of touch, are extremely developed, and he goes by'the soubriquet of "L'Homme a la Tete de Cire." He wears the military cross of honor, and delights to talk about what he has gone through during the war. To add to his meagre pension, he sells a pamphlet containing a full description of his wounds and of the apparatus that has been so skillfully devised as to render him at least presentable to his fellow creatures.

Old-Time Delicacies.

New York Sun. Some of the favorite dishes in Elizabeth's time were curious enough. Sea gulls were eaten. There were pickled goose with cloves and ginger, soused turkey boiled in white wine and vinegar and soaked for a month, and pear pudings containing no pears, bnt made of cold fowl or turkey chopped up with flour, currants and eggs, and then fashioned into the form of pears and baked. The. stocks of tulips cooked like pies, omelettes of mallow Btalks, hartshorn "jelly, pippins preserved in jelly, apple syrup and quince cheese were also among the delicacies of the

The Germans made, as early as the eighth century, a beverage of barley, which was highly praised, but that it was equal to our modern lager beer is seriously doubted. We have an idea that liquors such as the old fellows filled themselves with and celebrated in song, would not now sell at the bar of the lowest dive in the country.

The total tonnage of the merchant navy of the United Kingdom amounted to 7,196,401 tons in 18$3, as against 6,908,650 tons in 1882, and 6,087,701 tons in 1875, an increase of 1,108,700 tonB. In the eight years covered by these figures the tonnage of sailing vessels decreased to the amount of 673,300 tons (about fifteen per cent.)

New York Sun: "Doctor, I want'Jo' rtinnir you for your good patent medicine." "It helped you, did it?" asked the doctor, very much pleased. "It helped me wonderfully." "How many bottles did you find it necessary take? "Ob, I didn't take any of it. My nncle took one bottle and I am his sole heir."
