One of the meanest, most contempt
ible and heartless confidence games
that 1t has been our lot to chronicle
for some time, occurred In this city
yesterday. An old man, 81 years of
age, with dlmmed sight and crippled
hands, arrived In the city yesterday,
with large and almost helpless fam
lily, from Schuyler county, ILL.,. This
family were on the way to some part
of Arkansas, where they intend to
settle, and engaged passage on the
steamer City of Cairo to Memphis.
The old man, having procured tick
cts, congratulated himself on having
a small sum left to carry them
through to their destination. He
promenaded the boat In anxious ex-
pectation of the steamer soon getting
under way. While sauntering about
the deck he was accosted by we'll
dressed stranger, who made his ac~
quaintance, expressed himself in-
terested i'm his behalf, and who
that he was a merchant
of Memphis, going down on the
same boat. He pointed to stacks Of
freight on the boat that he had pur-
chased. In order to pass the time
more agreeably, the stranger invited
the old gentleman to accompany
him, and see a very fine boat, which
was tied up at short distance. They
went, and on the way the old gentle
man was more than ever agreeably
entertained by his new companion.
On arriving ut the boat designated,
Its fine model, sea.going qualities,
and beautiful workmanship were
duly pointed out. About this time
another chap came up, and accosting
stranger number one, presented a bill
which he.wanted cashed. AS usual,
number one fumbled about his pock-
cts, and not finding the amount he
required, he turned to his friend, the
old man, with modest request, as
he, not expecting to have such bill
to settle, had left his money on the
boat. OF course the old man, unsus-
believing that all things
were on the square, drew his wallet
and loaned his friend S92, being all
the money he had, except $l.30.
obtained the money, the two
confidence men readily got rid of the
old man, and left him to ponder on
the evil ways of mankind. He re-
ported to police officer, and person
was arrested but, on arriving at the
police station, the old gentleman was
unable to identify the man arrested,
and he was released. He went back
to the boat, when the extent of his
loss was more forcibly impressed up
on his mind. lie was in a adeplorable
With only $3.50 i'm his
pocket, he saw his helpless family
before him. His two sons-men
grown-were sick. They had their
wives along, and some children. His
old lady was also n member of the
party. The poor old gentleman be-
came almost distracted. He attempt
ed to jump overheard and end his
miseries at once, but he was held
back. and finally, we presume, be-
came reconciled to his hard fate. st.

Frank Francis, the Boston pick
pocket, who was recently sentenced
at Fitchhurg to four years In the
State Prison, for stealing a watch
from Alderman Marsh, of this city,
on the occasion Of the reception of
President Grant at Worcester, last
June, escaped while being taken
from Fitchburg 10 Charlestown, by
officer Hale, on Wednesday. The
prisoner was handcuffad, and sat In
the smoking car, two seats from the
door, the officer sitting In the seat
opposite to him, and talking with
the conductor. All of a sudden,
Francis started from his seat, rushed
to the door, opened Ii and jumped
from the platform, while the cars
We're going at the rate of forty miles
an hour. The officer started, and
grabbed him by the coat, Just as he
jumped, but his hold failed, and the
fellow got away. The cars were at
once stopped, and parties started in
pursuit. They found the bushes and
telegraph pole, where he jumped
off, covered with blood, but though
they searched for hours, they could
not find the prisoner. The place
where he jumped was near Lincoln,
in the woods where there Is q thick
growth of underbrush, in which he
probably secreted himself. The inn
preston of those who searched for
him, Judging from the blood spilled,
was that he was so badly injured that
he would not live. Warden Hayes
offers $50 reward for his arrest.

Hay Making by Ma
chinery. ... ...

The old adage, that we must make
hay while the sun shines, Is about to
lose altogether its significance. The
orb of the day is hereafter to have
nothing to do with hay-making be-
yond ripening the grass for the now
er. An apparatus has been contrived
and put In operation In England,
which takes the grass as soon as ii Is
mown, and places 1t In strong cur
rent of hot air set In motion by fan,
to be worked by steam or horse pow
er, as preferred. The hot air is gen.
Grated inlike manner with that which
heats our dwelling houses i'm winter,
by furnace, and the revolving fan
throws 1t upon the grass. In this
manner, upon the testimony Of Mr..
Mechi, who writes letter to the
London Times on the subject, moist
grass may be converted into hay Of
the best quality In ten minutes. The
revolving fan thus promises 10 bring
about a revolution in the hay-mak-
ing process. Farmers will then be
independent in q great measure Of
the weather for drying their grass,
no hay need hereafter be destroyed
or even damaged, and two crops can
certainly be made in the season. A
good deal Of the poetry of the hay
field will be lost by this process, but
the increase production will abund-
antly compensate us for 1t.

Mr.. Wendell Phillips and the Dem
ocratic party have enjoyed them
selves in their Indian warfare upon
Grant, by accusing him of absence
from duty, ignorance of political af-
fairs, and of too great care of his
relatives. He has of late shubbed q
brother-in-law, and the Democratic
press Is resenting 1t. Those who
have been to see him testify that he
is surprisingly well,informed in re-
gard to all that is passing in politics.
In his conversation he speaks spon-
taneously and intelligently, and ex-
hibits a warm interest in matters
connected with the administration.
In his journeys he takes pains to see
men of affairs, who have clear and
decided views upon commercial,
financial, and industrial matters. =
He observes far more than he seems
to observe, and is constantly seeking
knowledge without making an os-
tentatious display Of it. His princi-
pal fault, perhaps, is that he does
nothing for effect, and so leaves those
who cannot obtain an intimate
knowledge of him, with an impres.
sion that he Is Indifferent or ignorant
He has done nothing brilliant yet.
He will probably do nothing brilliant
during his administration; but, on
contrasting the close with the begin
ming thereof, people will be astonish-
ed to find how much he has silently
accomplished. The quiet progress of
his administration will be made up
of multitudinous acts, that push
things forward without Eoisc or con-
fusion. His four years of official life
will be like four years of mans
personal life. Each Of its half q
million Of minutes will have contrib.
uted to maturing and solidifying it,
while TO no one of them can special
credit be given for the value they
have imparted.-Detron Post.

Setting out strawberry
BcIs.

Some of our readers will find these
hints from the Germantown Iele-
graph timely:
Straw berry plants can now be set
out from the middle of August to the
end of September. 1t Is true August
is generally a very warm and very
dry month, but In case OF the alb
sense of rain the newly planted beds
must be watered every day OF two
until they become established. The
bed should not be In damp situa-
tion, or the soil heavy. Dig deep,
pulyerize finely. and apply pretty
heavy dose of good barnyard manure.
Let the divisions be about three and
half feet I'm width, and as long as
may be desirable. Set the plants
about eighteen inches apart, insert
them In the ground firmly but not to
deeply, and then keep clear of all
grass and weeds. The last of No
vember protect the plants with a
light covering of straw the first year,
alter that If needed a light manure
may be substituted as q covering. A
half a crop may be expected the first
season. A mulch of straw cut two
or three inches long will keep the
ground moist and cool, which this
berry likes, and smother the weeds.
This should be applied the first part
Of April. An application Of spent

A Coon ONE.-An anecdote worth
laughing over Is told ofa man who
had an infirmity as well as an appe-
tite for fish. He was anxious to
keep up his character for honesty,
even while making bill with his
merchant as the story goes, and
when his back was turned the hon
est buyer slipped Goldfish up under
his coat tail. But the garment was
too short to cover the theft, and the
merchant perceived 1t.
Now said the customer anxious
to improve all opportunities to call
attention to his virtues. Mr. Mer-
chant, I have traded with you a
great deal, and have paid you
promptly and honestly haven't I7'
Oh yes answered the merchant,
Il make no complaint,
Well said the customer, Il always
insisted that honesty Is the best poll,
cy and the best rule to live and die
by,
That's so.' replied the merchant.
And the customer turned to depart,
Hold on my friend cried the
merchant, speaking of honesty, ]
have bit of advice to give you.--
Whenever you come TO, trade, again
you had better wear q longer coat OF
steal shorter Goldfish.

n Little too sharp.

An enterprising business man of
Hartford, Conn, runs two branches
OF trade, to wit: q grocery aud q fish
market; the grocery himself, the fish
market by deputy; and every night
the latter makes returns of the pro-
ceeds of the days business TO the
proprietor. A few days since the
grocer found'in his fish market re-
turns counterfeit five dollar BILL
He didn't like to lose, and didn't
want to take the chances of trying to
pass 1t. So be called an old darkev
who was hanging about the PREMISE
and said to him.
"Sam, here's five dollar bill that's
a little doubtful. Ifyou will take it
and pass 1t, I'll give you a dollar Of
the change"
"Nerv well" said Sam, and he took
the bill and went off, later in the day
he returned, having accomplished
the feat and handed over S4 In good
money 10 the grocer. .... ...
That night the grocer, in counting
the cash returns from his fish lmark-
ct, was more surprised than delight
ed to find the identical five In the
pile.
"Look heer," said he sharply TO
his fish market clerk. "here IN a
counterfeit bill-who'd ye take 1t of?
Didn't you know twas bad ?r
The clerk took 10 and looked at ir a
moment.
oh! yesp said he, ~ remember
now; l took il from Sam, the darkey.
L thought 1t was a little doubtful, and
wasn't going TO take 1t, but he said
he got 1t of you, so thought il was
all right" . .E....s
Further explanation was unneces-
sary.
