side of the passage are drawers with
locks and keys, and each distinguish

contain bonds, mortgages, certificates
of stock, insurance policies, etc. and
INTO the vault only one person is ad-
mltted at time. At intervals into
this passage trap-doors open into
safes which are leased by parties who
want larger accommodations, or for

burglar proof, and, as al additional
preoaution, two guards keep nightly

Finding the stolen Jcyye1rx.

A New York correspondent of the
Baltimore Episcopal Methodist writes
to that paper:
"a Southern lady, on q visit to
this city, went to worship in one of
the uptown churches. Soon after
an elegantly -attired New York lady.
of high social standing, entered the
same pew and remained during the
service; after which, the Southern
lady called her aside into the vestrv
room, and. in the presence of the
rector, with whom she was we'll ac-
quainted, thus addressed her, Ma
dam, l do not wish to offend you, but
that shawl You are wearing belongs
to me. (The shawl was a superb
one. The New Yorker protested,
and declared that there must be some
mistake. IF, says the Southern lady,
you Will examine a certain corner,
you will see my initials worked in it.
and the rector knows my name very
we'll. The corner was found as
we'll as the initials. The Southern
lady then remarked, That ring vou
have upon your finger is also mine.
and If you will take the trouble to
examine the interior, you will see the
same initials engraved in the ring
Similar movements as above described
took place, and with similar results.
Turning to her again, the Southern
lady said, Madam, that bracelet YOU
have on is mine also, and by pressing
spring on the inside, it will nnclasp
and show you my portrait The New
York lady did as requested, and there
was the lady's portrait. She promptly
returned the ring and bracelet, as she
was convinced beyond the power to
controvert it, that they were the pro-
perty of this Southern lady, and re-
marked as she did, eThey are YOURS,
and you are welcome to them, but as
L wore the shawl to church, I must
beg the privilege of wearing it home
again. The Southern lady acceded.
OF course, and they exchanged cards.
The shawl came back in due time,
but the New York lady had probably
obtained the articles in such manner
as to render it too unpleasant to di-
vulgc. No more was said about it,
Moral: Ii Southern ladies want to
know where their articles of missing
lewelry and wardrobe furniture are,
let them attend some fashionable up
town New York church; and if the
men want to know what has become
OF al! their fine horses shipped North
by any officers and 'bummers,' let
them spend an evening in Central
Park
