a Profitable Ride in the Passenger
Cars.

The other day a lady entered Green
street passenger car, to ride from Broad
street to the Postotfice, the car was well
filled, but an obliging stranger, relinquish-
ing his right, gave her seat. The lady
thanked him for the courtesy.
The lady sat down. On her right was
a gentlemanlike person in plaid trowsers
and maroon cOlOred overcoat. The plaid
of his trousers was rather extensive, his
legs resembling sections of a green house
window. His coat was of a material known
as chinchilla cloth, while his hat was of a
satin beaver article of painful brilliancy
y diamond cluster ring of considerable
value sparkled upon the little finger OF his
right hand
The lady admired the ring. The man
displayed it in a manner to attract atten-
ton. At the corner of Eighth and Green
streets the car jolted, and the man leaned
heavily for an instant against the lady.
She tancied that she felt hand, that didn't
belong there, in her pocket, and instinct
lively thrust in her own. As she did so,
two men got off. One was the person who
had given her his seat; the other was the
man with the diamond ring. In another
minute the lady ascertained that her pocket
book was gone. In that same minute the
two men in question had disappeared from
view.
The lady informed the conductor she
had been robbed, but the conductor could
do nothing, and the other passengers had
nothing to offer but coincidence AS the
pOrtmOnnaie contained but seven dollars
and halt, the lady didn't care about graf
flying their curiosity by further explana-
ton
Alighting at her destination, the lady
CHANGING to withdraw her handkerchief
from her pocket-the one from which the
portmonnaie had been taken-heard some
thing drop upon the floor. 1t was re-
splendent diamond ring. She recognized
it at first glance. 1t was the very ring
worn by the individual in stunning plaid
who had ridden beside her. He had I'M
doubtedly stolen her pocketbook, but in
doing so his ring had been drawn off and
remained in the lady's pocket.
The lady, after asking advice, took the
ring to a Chestnut street jeweler, who gave
for it his check for $500. The net profit
made by the lady on her ride was $493 45;
the precise sum, barring five cents, lost by
the plaid gentleman in the satin beaver
tile. On Monday, walking past Eighth
and Chestnut streets, the lady met the in
dividual in plaid. He flushed crimson at
her glance, recognizing her on the instant.
She smiled serenely, and he SUNK away.
Whether he knew that his ring passed into
the possession OF the lady, is more than we
know; but a snowy woman, in tremendous
crinoline, supposed to be friend of the
man in plaid, was at the office of the rail
road company hunting the lost Jewell

Remarkable Sermon from Bishop
Clark. of Rhode HSland--.A Prayer
for Peace.

From the Hartford Times.
As an evidence of the change of tone
that is noticed in such political sermons as
are now preached, we present to our read
ers the following extract from sermon
Clark, in Grace Church, Providence, be-
fore an immense congregation. 1t is a fer
vent prayer for peace. One year ago the
Bishop, like many others who forgot their
calling, was as tervent for war. Similar
clerical changes of feeling in regard to the
war are observed hereabouts.
Bishop Clark's text was from Lamenta-
tons, 16: "The crown is fallen from
our head Woe unto us, for we have
sinned." After reference to the sad pic
ture of reverses which the prophet de-
scribes in the Book of Lamentations, the
Bishop proceeded to show the application
of bis language to the condition of our
country:
We have fallen upon evil days and the
heart OF the nation beats with agony.
do not wish to say word that will deepen
the gloom-we must look the facts in the
face, we must be willing to see where we
stand, and what dangers threaten us. The
crown of prosperity has fallen from our
heads. There is no suspension in the OPP
erations of business. There are many
who are making money as they never did
before. By single turn of the wheel,
some find themselves rich who were poor
yesterday. There could never be better
time for shrewd and daring speculation.
Money is drug; and when man has
made his half a million, he does not know
what to do with it, for he feels that there
is no paper which may not be rags in a
year, no stock which may not have stand
still. Nothing is safe but gold and land
and the former can be had at only ruinOus
rates, and the latter may yield no income.
We have sort OF hectic prosperity, but
the vital organs are diseased. We have an
abundant currency-an over-abundant cur
rency-because it is fictitious-''a promise
to pay" which everybody knows to be a
lie. The show of prosperity that we have
cannot last long. We are blowing the
bubble larger every day, and it grows thin
'ner as it expands. 1t glistens gloriously in
the sunshine for a moment, but it will
burst suddenly and vanish into space. We
have ceased to accumulate the true mate
rial of prosperity, producing and manufac-
turing abundantly. Every one knows that
soon the supply will be larger than the de.
mand, and we are specializing upon the
impending calamity.
