A LAWYER AsToUNDEp-A few days ago
prominent lawyer of St. Louis, missed his free
pass on the city railroad of that city, and sus-
pecting that it had been stolen, he went to the
office Of the Railroad Company, informed the
officials of his suspicious and requested them
to have any one who should present the pass on
the street cars arrested. Orders were accord.
ingly issued to all the conductors on the line
to keep sharp lookout for the missing ticket.
A couple of days afterward, searching through
some papers in his Office, the legal gentleman
found the missing ticket, and while riding home
on car presented it to the conductor, who ex-
amined It closely. He Immediately collared
the astounded member of the bar, and in reply
to question as to what he meant by seizing
him, remarked that he had been looking for the
man who had stolen that ticket for some days
past In vain the legal gentleman endeavored
to explain that he was the rightful owner of the
pass the conductor would not believe him. He
said he had seen good deal of human nature,
and knew an honest man when he met him.
On the return trip he brought his prisoner
back with him and took him to the police sta
ton, where he was recognized and released.

Discovery OF CoFFEE.-Toward the middle
of the fifteenth century, poor Arab was trav-
cling in Abyssinia, and finding himself weak
and weary from fatigue, he stopped near grove,
Being in want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut
down tree which happened to be covered with
dried berries His meal being cooked and eat
en-, the traveller discovered that these half
burned berries were fragrant. He collected
number of these, and on crushing them with
stone, he found their aroma increased to great
extent. While wondering at this, he accident
" let fall the substance into can which con-
tanned his scanty supply of water. Lo, whats
miracle! the almost putrid liquid was instantly
purified, he brought it to his lips; it was fresh
and agreeable, and in moment after the trav-
eler had 80 far recovered his strength and ener-
gy as to be able to resume his journey. The
lucky Arab gathered as many. berries as he
could, and having arrived at Alden, in Arabia,
he informed the Mufti of his discovery. That
worthy dive was an inveterats opium smoker,
who had been suffering for years from the infiu-
ence of the poisonous drug. He tried an infu-
sion of the roasted berries, and was so delight
ed at the recovery of his former vigor that in
his gratitude To the tree he called it Canuah,
which in Arabic signifies force. And this is
the manner in which coffee was discovered.

THE ROMANCE OF A w1Lh.-The interest of

THE ROMANCE OF A WILL-The interest of
many novels is made to depend upon the loss of
q genuine will or the production of forged
one. The not uncommon eclipse of romance
by reality has just been exempl6ed in New
York. Hugh McAdam died in July, 1863, leav-
ing an estate of 100000. 1t was at first be-
licved that he made no will. His medical at
physician. td H. He died not long after his patient,
leaving behind him several poems. A printer
was called in by his relatives to examine his
manuscript, on opening which the will of Mr.
McAdam was found, attested by the deceased
doctor and his surviving son as witnesses. The
document bequeathed the greater part of the
testators property to Roman Catholic charities.
The heirs, already in possession of the estate
were greatly surprised and disconnected at find,
ing that they must give up their lately acquired
money. They disputed the genuineness of the
will, but unsuccessfully, and the Church gets
the benefit Of the bequest so singularly brought
to light.

A VERY SINGULAR CAsE.-The Norwich
Comm Advertiser of late date has this para
graph
Mr.. Eli Hempsted, formerly of New Haven,
but recently of Chenango Forks, n. Y, died at
his fathers residence, in New. Haven, on the
2Oth instant, from most singular case. Some
years ago he was attacked with insanity, and
was sent to the Gnsane Retreat at Hartford.
While there. elpushed a watch-key up his
nose, and after hisrecovery informed his ply
sician what he had done. An effort was made
to get it out, without success. He left the Re-
treat, and nothing further was done to remove
the article, though he occasionally spoke of
feeling it. In year or two he was attacked
with sharp pain at the lower part of the
right lung. He suffered from it for some time
when t,passed away, and for two years he en-
ioyed good health. A-few weeks ago he came
to New Haven with an invoice of produce, and
while engaged in lifting barrels was again at
tackled with pain and bleeding from the lungs
He was taken to his fathers house, where in a
few days he died.
His case was so singular that his physicians
made post lnortem examination, when they
found the key imbeded in the lower part of the
lung, and surrounded by lump in state of
modification. The key had dropped out of the
nose through the windpipe into the lung, and
had remained there over two years.

path of life, and become Injured to care and
sorrow in their sternest forms, before we can
take home to our experience the dread reality

when it is said of frail young girl, just pass

how sad the story summed up in that one short
sentence. Who now shall check the wayward

ed to make the tea, wondering all the while if
there was any way to regain possession OF the
money and dreading her husbands anger and
dismay, on his return should she fail to do So.
AS She took the tea-cannister from the pantry
shelf she caught sight of bottle labelled arse
mic Her husband had purchased it on the
previous day. in order to destroy the rats which
were becoming troublesome, but as yet he had
used no portion of it. :,
Here was chance of relief, and she seized
it eagerly. Opening the bottle, she put few,
grains into the teapot along with the tea, OF
which she gave good measure, in order 10 de-
st.oy the taste of the arsenic.
A few minutes later the robbers were sitting
at the table; unconsciousy slipping their death.
"They may kill me-" unused the faithful wo-
man, "but the money will be found and my hus-
bands honor saved"
After few minutes, one by one, the robbers
complained of being sick

her, revolver in hand, but fell ere he reached

"Jane," exclaimed the third, "you have saved

How strangely familiar sounded the voice !!
Forgetting ali her old fear in the new, Mrs.
Jacobs sank forward and knelt by the side OF
the dying man.
None tried to harm her now, for all were
powerless to do So -
She pulled the disguise, hideous negro face,
with large grinning mouth, from the face of the
last speaker. One ,lock-then came scream
which echoed through the house like APPEAL of
thunder.
But little more remains to be told of the sad
story. The money was preserved, but the he
roic woman is maniac, raving in southern
asylum over the murder of her husband, imag-
lining that her hands are dyed red with his blood.

The Rise in the Price of Wool.

Great EIeiteHseEt IN the Trad Wool and Wooden
Goods up from 10 TO IS per cent. IN Fec Week,
-Caases Of Tie Rise.
An uncommon excitement prevades at
present the usually quiet circle of dealers
in wool and goods made Of wool in this
country. The cause is the sudden rise in
the price of the staple, which commenced
some or weeks ago, and appears not as
yet to have reached its full limit. Common
Mexican wool, which used to sell at from
Is to 20 cents a pound, is selling at from
80 to 32 cents. Carpet woods, usually
quoted ut 30 cents gold, are held at 37a
cents. Cape woods have gonc up from 50
cents to 40 cents Australian wool from AZ
cents to % cents and what are called ex.
ira feeces, which are standard in the wool
market, like middlings in the cotton mark
er, are quoted at from 81 to Ga cents, as
against AZ to 90 cents six weeks since. f.
ven shearlings, which arc the short wool
which grows on sheep between the time of
their shearing in the spring and their slaugh-
tering in the fall, and are used for making
hate, sell at 40 cents a pound, instead of
% cents, the old price.
The cause Of the rise, in the FIRST place,
ia that wool has been exceedingly low for
several years past, so that it has not been
profitable in this country to produce it.
Hence our farmers have, 10 a large extent,
sold off their sheep and raised hogs instead.
Also, the recent war in Europe created an
extraordinary demand for soldiers clothing,
and rapid consumption of it by wear /;
while at tue same time the withdrawal of
so many men from labor diminished the
production of wool, the sheep being slaugh-
tered for food instead of being kept to
shear. Another element ut work is the a
buDdant supply of water this season, enab-
ling many mills to run constantly, which
last year, owing to the drought, were stop
ped for long time. This practically dou-
bles the demand for raw wool.
tara Missouri paper tells a romantic
story, in which a Mr.. lIainos and his little
son are jointly tho heroes They were in
a field when swarm Of bees alght-
cd upon the boy, covering him from head
TO foot ; they hung upon his cars, chin and
nose i'll great lunches, and chung in thick
clusters to every part of his body. Mr..
Haynes, realizing the dangerous situation
in which his child was placed, commanded
MN W SCahu Hultc sun. us INC brave
little fellow did, un:il tho bees had all
settled. Mr.. Haynes then took a stick,
gently lifted the boys hat from his head,
and placed it upon ncighboring bush g,
when the entire swarm left their cxtraordi-
nary resting place and took to the hat and
bush. Strange to relate, the boy received
only one sting, aud that was caused by his
Selling with his teeth a bee that was try
ing to make its way into his mouth.

re On Saturday morning, last, mis-
placed switch on the Newark and Now
York railroad caused n collision between
two passenger trains just outside of tho lin
ITS of tho former city The o'clock train
from Newark, and tho 7:45 train from New
York met at full speed. The engines were
both destroyed, and tho smokestack of one
thrown fully fifty yards in a ditch Three
new cars on the train from Now York were
entirely burned. The train from Newark
comprised four cars, all full, which tele-
scoped, injuring some eight or ten passcn-
gers, but mono fatally. Four employees
were killed, viz : Frank Keenan, and George
I'M, the engineers Of tho two engines :;
David White, brakeman, aud j. Rockafel-
low, fireman. Tho wrecked coaches took
lire within five minutes after tho collision,
aud as tho only water near Mt hand was in
the bitches at tho side of the track, it was
impossible to stay the flames, except by
tearing the cars to pieces. Tho train from
tho city of New York was almost entirely
empty, while the train from Newark was.
as usual, crowded with business men on
their way to that city. Had both trains
been laden with passengers the loss of life
must have been fearful, as the two first cars
OF tho empty train tolescoped, aud any per
son IN either of them at the timo must have
been killed or terribly injured 1t appears
to DO thought that the misplaced switch
was ono of carolcssnoss on tho part of eomo
employee.
