JOURNALIST IN A FIX.

A gentleman of the press,who recently left fjondon to join tho stuff of the Newcastle Chronicle, thus relates Ills experiences. On his arrival he went to a loitypernnco hotel near the station At five o'clock I nettled tlown on a sofa in the writing room to read the London papers for the day. When I lay down a commercial traveler wan writing on a window sill near tho door which opens ofT tho commercial room, and is at the opposite side of the apartiiienl to that at which the sofa stands. I read my papers, .more unobservant thair usual of what went on until six o'clock, when I went out to keep business appointment. I returned between seven and eight, wrote some let tors and posted them, came back and had tea. Uy this time the gas was lighted in the commercial room, and wJvoral gentlemen had gathered round Jibe table. Soon alter I sat down, a oommarcial traveler—the nam#, as I afterwards leurned, who had been writing at the window in tho former part of tbe evening—entered, with a rather stontish burly looking man, who might have been a cattle dealer or butcher, if his back hadn't been so stiff, and might have passed for a military gentleman if he hadn't been rather clumsy. IIo entered with a hesitancy of s'-ep which showed at once that he did not belong to "the road," and sat with an awkward twist In his chair, which indicated ho was not at his ease. The two sat down at a window, ostensibly over a glass of beer. I overheard tho conversation. It was still", forced, and formal, and Uking all circumstances into account, I set down the stranger visitor f* a customer whom tho traveller was treating with the view ol securing an order, to whom he was making himself agreeable, and by w'hom ho was submitting to bo bored, aa at once a duty to hi* employer and a credit to himself. I finished my tea. sat down, Olid was reading a Loudon daily, when the burly stranger crossed over, and anked mo to speak with him, anil considerately told me to bring my hat, when I offered to follow him uncovered. 1 was rather amused, merely thinking lie had made a mistake, as I was confident 1 knew no ono in Newcastle, and no one Knew me. "Your nanjo is Johnston, Is It not was the llrst question. I said "No," and was about to turn back when he insisted I should accompany him a llttlo further. Ho 1 went out on the street, stared at by "boots" and "buttons," and wondering much what was to follow. "You are from Manchester, are you not?" I said "Nav," and turned to come in, but iiiv

interrogator expressed a *wish that 1 should stay. "What house do you represent *ho said. I said "I represent no house in particular." "\Y hat do yon do then I told him, and rpil©tly Insinuated my desire to know what ho "represented," and why he was so closely questioning me. flatter* wero getting rather interesting now. He assured me ho would tell me fll about it beiore ho and 1 parted, and Jitgaln set himself to the examination, /when did I come to the hotel? Who recommended mo to come there?

Where was I before I came What train did I come bv? Did not a lady call on me in the afternoon with a letter? Who was the lady and what was tho letter about? How long had I known the lady, and where did she stay? Did I know any "respectable" t^arty In Newcastle, and who? Had I any writing to show I was engaged on the lytrtmiclef Had 1 been out of the hotel during the evening? Where did I go when I went out? what did I do? Had I testimonials from my last employers? What did 1 do in London? llow long had been there? Had I any money In my possession, and how much? IIad I any .£.»notes? If I were to be searched, would any Jpf notes be found about mv person? Every now and then I aske*1 what it .wasall about, but I got no satisfactory reply. It w-is only when our walk letl through a dark passage and terminated In tne police otllee that the full realisation of my situation flashed upon me. There, in a villainous apartroMlt, odorous of tobacco sutoke, floor litteircd with torn paper and wet with torn paper and wet with something «lae, the wfcU* Unod with policemen waiting tor something to "turn up" apparently, a broad dirty seal extending along one aide, and evidences of 'Sjellalar lift? scattered all around, h» told me that an extensive rotebery had committed In the hotel at'which 1 was staying, and that too in a room In which there was no nne wh- the deed was done but the ibed and my self. It was done wyeen five and s£x o'clock, while I -1moving on the sofa and the gentlem*vas writing on the window sill. "?E get up pretty determined attempt to

1 mantv, however, in all ho did and said notwithstanding the, to his inlnd, evidently overwhelming mans of evidence I against me. He was at the same time

Judiciously cautious and unwilling to carry matters to extremes. I requestI ed him to cotne to yon, Mr. Editor, but he hesitate' h-si sue., a purpose, even whispered, mighi do mo harm. I asI surea him that ihere was no fear of that among people who knew me, and, as for others, I simply did not care. I ofI fered, however to show hi in papers corroborative of all I had said, out he left me alone among all his "Charlies," and I went out, I suppose, to meditate what I had best be don'?, or consult with the traveler who had lost the money. He returned in a short time to accompany me to your office, and you know the rest—how you *»ere disturbed in your editorial labors, how the wary detective

Interviewed you while I was left out in the cold, how satisfactory explanations followed, Vow we had a hearty I laugh over the affair, and how I, in turn took the man of law "in charge" back to the hotel. The moral of the story teaches bow easily ai innocent man may get into trouble, and how difficult it may be to prove that one is not guilty if once suspected of any crime,

A WONDERFUL BALSAM. A manufacturer and vender of quaclc medicine for rheumatism and tho growth of hair combined.recently wrote to a friend for a recommendation of his tthe manufacturer's) "balsam." In a few days he received the following, which we call pretty strong "DEAR Sin—The land composing this farm has hitherto been so poor that a Chinaman could not get a living off it and so stony that wfe had to slice our

Cut

otatoes, and plant them edgeways hearing of your balsam, I put some on the corner of a ten-acre field surrounded by a rail fence, and in the morning I found that the stones had entirely disappeared, and a neat wall encircled the field the rails were split up into fire wood, and piled up symmetrically in my back yard. I put half an ounce in the middle.of a huckleberry swamp two days saw it cleared orf, planted with corn and pumpkins, and a row of peach trees in full blossom through the middle. As an evidence ot its tremendous strength, I would say that it drew a striking likeness of mv eldest son out of a mill pond, drew a blister all over his stomach, drew a load of potatoes four miles to market, drew grease out of a flint, and eventually drew a prize of $97 out of a defunct lottery."

A DUTCHMAN whipped his son and set hi in down in a corner. The lad continued to sob and whimper, not being able to get over the grief of thd castigation soon enough to suit the impatient futher, when the latter .sternly said

Hans, vot yon thinking I'm thinking nothing, daddy." "Hans, you lie you're thinking damn, and I'll whip vou again."
