A MISSIONARIES DAUGHTER THE QUEEN OF

A MISSIONARIES DAUGHTER THE QUEEN OF
THE PHILADELPHIA FORTY THIEVES.
The Philadelphia Age says tha: Emma
west Danield is queen Of gang in that city
known as the Forty Thieves" She is a
young woman. Her age is twenty-one years,
and she is neither pretty nor exceedingly plain
in appearance. She states that she is the
daughter OF a local preacher living in Ger
mantown who once was minister to India.
For more than two years she has been one of
the moving spirits Of the Forty Thieves
Against the entreaties of her parents, against
all the petitions of he friends to return home
and stay there, she turned a deaIear. Where
ever the gang held its rendezvous, there she
would go, and remain for weeks at a time,
doing the cooking for lthe vagabonds who
composed it. In hollow, made by the in
tersection of the Junction Railway embank-
ment with that of the Norristown Railway,
the members generally as: embed. Old rails
and boards were leaned against one of the
steep embankments, and this formed a rude
shelter under which the gang slept. A pile of
old railroad ties, near, was used to cover up
the booty that was secured in the city, BY
robberies of every description. The stump Of
a tree was burned out, and made quite stove,
by which the Queen" cooked the food for the
thieves. This girl has been often an inmate
of the statiop-houses. She is cunning in her
speech relative to the operations OF the gang.
She traces her first step downward to the in
huence of a near relative.

2-N<Ah1-lstN<A&N Dt ~ LLLl&so AN
GLISH SCI 5rrt,---
A cotemporary tells this story:
An expert buyer, junior partner of one of
our large American firms, at a recent first vis-
it to his correspondent in an English manu-
featuring city, was complimented by the sem
ior partner of the house, who insisted on per-
sonally showing goods to his American pur-
chaser.
"There, sir" said Dowlas. throwing out a
roll of goods, Z" what do you think of that?"
"Oh, tuat's played out" said the Ameri-
can.
Its what?" said Bull.
I" It's played out, tell you," said the Gus
toner.
"Played, ah 4! really; we call it plad, hyar
in England, bus tins isn't plaid-plad, you
know"
"No," said Yankee, +" don't mean plad
mean ter say it's gone up"
"Oh, no." said the Britisher, " not at all il
has not gone up-quite the contrary. We've
taken of from the price"
"Over the left; its threepence too high
now."
"No doubt of it; but our neighbors, yor
know, on the left, are not manufacturers, yor
know"
"very likely; but don't care to be stuck
when get home."
Really. Most extraordinary. Is it a:
dangerous In New York as the newspapers
say?'
"Yes, but don't want these goods. I've
got some already that will knock the spots out
OF em."
"But, my dear sir, there's no spots on the
goods, assure yah. They are parfect."
"Well, well, suppose we switch Off or
these goods, and try something else"
"Certainyw and the Enslishman, to the in
finite amusement of the Americans friend
called clerk with wisp-broom and direct
ed him to switch off" any dust he could find
while he proceeded TO show something else.
There" said the Englishman triumphant
ly, spreading out another fabric, ''there is The
handsomest piece Of goods in England, 'arf :
guinea yard"

"Can't see it? why you are looking righ
at it; however, suppose you try the light o

mo, don't mean that" said the American
81 haven't get the stamps for such eoods."
STAMPS! no stamps required but bill
stamp, which we are happy to furnish"

bers OF the house, seeing his seniors perplez

through" after the manner of his country

WILL YOUNG FIvETwENTY EVER Be
RIcH?-It is very much the fashion, nova
days, to say, "Oh, young Fivetwenty will be
rich when his father dies" and TO understand
thereby that young Fiyetwenty Is sure 10 be
rich one OF these days.
But the proyerb concerning "a slip between
the cup aid the lip holds good in this case,
as in all others, and young Fivetwenty NAV
die before old Fivetwenty does, in which case
he will never become rich--in this worlds
goods, at any rate. Nor is his chance OF living
so much greater than "the Governors as
may be at first glance imagined.
suppose old Fivctwenty to be tity-fve years
OF age; young Fiyetwenty, twenty-five. Old
fivetwenty is Bank Director; young Five
twenty is zone OF the boys" Old Fivetwenty
turns in every night at ten; young Five;wen-
ty is "on time" till iour A. NJ Balance of
health in favor OF old Fivetwenty.
Old Flvetwenty takes glass OF brady and
water, and don't eat anything before going to
bed; young Fivetwenty devours oysters,
woodcock and broiled chicken at horribly in
digestible hours, and drinks champagne, bour-
bon sour and rye cocktails till he doesn't
know whether he is a Sunday school or a
| torchlight procession when he wakes up in
the morning. Balance of health in favor of
old FIvetwenty again.
Old Fivetwenty goes down to the bank in
stage about ten A. NJ. About the same time
young Flyetwenty Is gong it With fast horse
to the great lace, mourning the danger of be-
ing run over, OF being run away with, or of
running over somebody else and getting split.
Balance of safety in favor of old Fivetweptv.
If old Fivetwenty should receive chal-
lenge, he would forthwith have the sender
bound over to keep the peace; if young
Fivetwenty receives one, he "goes out" and
runs the chance OF bullet in his thorax.
You don't find old Fivetwenty promenad-
ing very often; the gOut won. allow 1t.
Young Fivetwenty is all the time on tramp
over sidewalks under which are steam-en-
gines; across streets where runninss over are
frequent. Old Fivetwenty don't go travell-
ing; young Fivetwenty is ON the move all
summer over Camden and Amboy, even over
| the Erie-apd steamboats, are blowing up and
| railroad collisions are frequent nowadays. He
even gees overland to California, and gives
| the poor Indian q chance to raise his hair.
Balance of safety still in favor of old Five
! twenty.
| Old Fivetwenty is never out after dark.
| Young Fivetwenty, like cats, travels princi-
| paly at night, and stands very fair chance,
in the present state of society, of being gar
Toted, or sand clubbed, or brass knuckled, or
slung gshotted, to say nothing Of the ordinary
4 perils OF revolver and knife.
| Old Fivetwenty has against him thirty
| years and the gout; young Fivetwenty has
| the risk of late hours, champagne suppers,
fast horses, "pistols and coffee for two" street
crossings. boiler burstings, railroad smash-ups,
| and fractured craniums.
So the chances, you see, are not so much in
young Fivetwenty's favor, after all.

A WH1sKEY PUNCH SCIENTIFICALLY Co

A WHIsKEY PUNCH SCIENTIFICALLY Con-
sIDERED.-The Exeter (Eng.l Change has
this clever bur.esque on the style of scientific
lectures-Proi. Tyndall especially. Expert
ment has proved that the juice of three or
four lemons, and three quarters of pound of
loafsugar dissolved in about three pints OF
boiling water, give saporous waves which
strike the palate at such intervals, that the
thrilling acidity of the lemon juice and tine
cloyins sweetness OF the sugar are no longer
distingushable. We have, in fact, harmony
OF saporific notes. The pitch, however, is too
low and to heighten it we iniuse in the boil
ing water the fragrant yellow rind of one lem
on. Here we might pause, if the soul of man
craved no higher result than lemonade. But
to obtain the eliminating saporosty of punch
we must dash into the bowl at least a pint ol
RIM, and nearly the same volume of brandy
The molecules of alcohol, sugar, and citric ac-
Id collide, and an entirely new series of vlbra-
tions is produced-tremors TO which the dull
est palate is attuned. In punch, then, we
have rythm within rythm, and all that phios-
ophy can Go is TO take kindly to its subtle
larmonas
