Had Money in Lumps.

Charles H. Rosenberg of Bavaria had lumps on his shoulders, elbows, and hips tfhen he arrived here from Hamburg on UxrKaiserin Auguste Victoria. In fact, there was a series of smaller lumps along bis spine, much like a mountain range, as it is presented on a bas-relief map. The lumps were about the size of good Oregon apples, and as Rosenberg passed before the immigration doctor for observation, the doctor said softly to himself, “See that lump." Then he asked Mr. Rosenberg to step aside. “You seem like a healthy man,” said the doctor, “but I cannot pass you until I know the origin of those lumps on your body.” "Ah, It is not a sick--jte&R,’* laughed the man from Bavaria. “Those swellings is money.” Taking off liis coat he broke open a sample lump and showed that it contained SSOO in American bank notes. He informed the doctor that he had SII,OOO in all, with which he was going to purchase an apple orchard in Oregon. — ~ He was admitted to the country.— New York Tribune.
