Exchange in an Omnibus.

THE New York Mail tells Of Brooklyn
lady who took passage on Broadway
omnibus with only $5 in her purse, and
who was particularly struck by the ap-
pearance of fellow passenger, who was
dressed in the most magnificent style and
wore on one of his fingers a superb
diamond. After. getting out of the omni-
bus she found her pocket had been picked.
The editor goes on to say:
She wondered, all the way there, who
had picked her pocket, and blamed, alter
nately, all the honest people who had
ridden with her in the stage; but she
never for moment harbored suspicion
of the gentleman of the rings and things
She got home and told her neighbors,
who consOled her in the usual neighborly
way, by "hoping it would be a warning to
her; )" I" she was very lucky to get off so
who laughed at her till she cried, she says,
then kissed her and gave her SO to buy a
new purse.
A friend dropped in after dinner, she
had tOtell the story all over again. Strange
to say, he suspected the gentleman with
the solitaire.
Was he in when you paid your fare?"
He was"
"Could he have seen your purse, and
where you put it?"
why, of course he could?"
Did he get up and then sit down again
the second time beside you?."
He did, but"
Where's your pocket?"
" Why, here" said the lady plunging
her nervous fingers for she was excited
by the MISUNDERSTANDING deep into the
pocket of the dress which she still wore
right here. And bless me p said she,
as she withdrew her hand again, "as
I'm living woman, but here's the ring :"
True enough. The exquisite, in alb
stracting the purse, had left the solitaire
behind him.
A Broadway jeweler values it at 81, 500.

Diogenes was one of the most eccentric
men / ever knew His mother was a
washerwoman and he lived in her tub. ex-
cept on wash days, when she had to use it
to make living for him. Although he
gets good deal of credit nowadays for
having lived in tub, he didn't at the time
of it. The neighbors used to call him a
lazy, shiftless fellow, lolling around in a
tub, talking philosophy to lot of other
good-for-nothings instead of working for
living.
A good deal has been said about his 60
ing around the streets of Athens with a

time. He wanted to find man that would

that has been preserved, was when he
said: "If could live Alexander the
Great, had rather Di-ogenesF'
Columbus was a mild, sweet-disposi-
TONED, but exceedingly thoughtful boy, as
as / remember him at school When we
boys were out playing, he would sit and
weep for hours over the incompleteness
of the maps of the period. He felt as
though something was wanting. He
wasn't satisfied with three-quarters of a
globe, such as was employed in the schools
at that time. He pined for the other
quarter. recollect his borrowing quar-
ter of me on two or three occasions.
He used to tell us we were a continent
out, somewhere, and that when he got big
enough he meant to run way from home
go on the canal and discover it; but we
only laughed at him, little thinking he
would yet give his name to the State
capital of Ohio.

afterward, when the telegraph brought
the announcement of his having dis
covered America, which, up to that time,
had successfully eluded the most per-
sistent efforts of our best discoverers.-
