A YANKEE SWINDLED BY A BALL 4
SAFE" OPERATOR.

Jonathan Nelson, resident of Penobscot
county, Nc, was on Saturday afternoon swim
died out Of S239 in money, and gold watch
worth Sl35, by two "baIl and safe" sharpers.
1t appears that he was met al the foot Of War

for the purpose Of purchasing ticket for Cal.
foruia on the steamer George Law, by a sharp.
or, who entered into conversation with him
and finally succeeded in gaining his confidence
by telling him that he was intimately acquaint.
ed with his (Nelson's) brother then in Cali
fomia and that he was about buying ticket
on the George Law for the gold diggings, and
would be most happy to share the same state
room with him. The sharper then questioned
Mr. Nelson in relation to his business, and on
discovering that he mad less than $3.50, offer
ed to loan him any sum he might require. He
then persuaded Mr.. N to give him his gold
watch, which, be said, he would soon convert
into cash, at the same time handing him a
check for $3.50 on an imaginary bank in Ho-
boken, and the two went to that place to get
the check cashed On landing from the ferry
boat they were met by a particular friend OF
sharper No. /, who Was no other than sharper
No. 9. This gentleman soon induced them to
visit with him the Elysian fields, and take a
view of the Romantic scenery of that locality !;
and on arriving there, pulled from his pocket
"patent safe," which, after being shown the
countryman viewed with delight, and was in-
duced to loan his friend, sharper No. l $3.50
to bet with upon its contents. Sharper No. !
of course, lost; and sharper No. g, instantly
snatched the money from the hand of Mr.. N.
who held it loosely. and ran off. Mr.. Nelson
could scarcely believe his senses, but on re,
covering from his surprise, drew revolver,
and was about giving sharper No. 2 chase,
when No. exclaimed, "Give me the pistol
and I'll get your money, or sweeten his coffee
for him." The pistol was given, and No. ran
after his companion, and was seen no more by
Mr.. Nelson, who, after waiting patiently long
time for bis return, made his way to this city,
and then to the office of the Chief Of Police,
where he stated his wrongs, and officers Kin
ner and Smith went in search of the rogues,
and on Monday arrested VIM. Lee, a notorious
ball and safe operator, who was identified by
Mr.: Nelson as sharper No. g. the man who ran
off with his money. Lee was committed to the
Tombs by Justice Connolly, preparatory 20 be-
ing sent to New Jersey for trial. Mr. Nelson,
by ,bls operation, has lost his passage TO Cali
forna, his watch, revolver, and nearly all his
money.-TN. Y, Tribune. ...s

THE GOOSE AsD CoLT poor goose had
been cruelty plucked alive OF all her feathers.
that she might satisfy the aysrice of her mas
ter, who could get money for them. A young
colt seeing the goose in this state, laughed
heartily at her. A little while after the goose
met the colt again, when he had been deprived
by his master of his ears and tail. "Oh,"
said the goose, "Whose turn is it 10 laugh now?
My feathers are growing again, but you will
never more have your ears and your tall"
Some children will laugh when they see
poor dsfOrmed person but We should never
laugh at the misfortunes of others, for We know
not how soon far worse may befal ourselves.
Let us then, be kind to the lame, the deaf.
the dumb, and the blind and if it should
please God to permit Us, at any time, to en-

we shall not be mocked at, but receive the
same compassion that we have shown to others.

SOMETHING NEw-Did you ever hear of the
way which man by the name of New, who
had SO many children, got out of lis difficulty
about giving them names? He had twelve
male responsibilities presented to him. He had
exhausted the vocabulary of names. There
was James New, and William New, and John
New, and Stephen New, etc, etc. AT last he
was presented with the thirteenth child Il
was boy again. What to call it he had moi
the slightest idea: So at last in utter despe'
ration, to the CONSERVATION Of his wife, he ma
med him "Nothing New"
The next child was girl. Well, now there
was no difficulty. But his better half insisted
upon having the naming of that child herself
Several months passed during which she reso-
lutely kept the name to herself. At last, when
christening day came round, she astOnished hel
good lord and the assembled company by ma.
ming the little girl Something New Musi-
cal World.
