Gbe Ginnes, Mem Bloomteto, 11a.

Feeling assured that he was securely
held in this uncomfortable position, 1
hastened to the street door, unlocked it.
and shouted for assistance. An officer
soon came, and when | had conducted
him to the cellar stairs, withdrew the
bolt, opened the door, and discovered the
culprit who had to follow the door as it
swung against the wall. He was man
of about thirty seven, heavily built, with
short-cropped red hair, face of villain
Gus aspect and his features deeply inden-
ted with small pox. Before taking the
trap from his hand, which bled profuse-
ly from five different punctures, the Off
Ger searched his pockets, and found
therein two Derringer pistols, long dirk,
and number of burglars tools.-Hav-
ing disarmed him, his hand was released
from the trap, and he was conducted to
the police station. ...I ....
1t was afterwards discovered that he
had entered the cellar from window in
the rear, having opened the shutters in
the same manner as he was attempting to
practice when caught. ...
GA trial followed some weeks after,
he was convicted and for five years be-
came pattern Of propriety in public
institution, never leaving his own cham
Der unless with the consent Of his keep
ers, and otherwise leading such an exem-
plary life that for the time mentioned,
through compulsion, he became a reformed
man. Whether his reformation continued
after his release from prison am unable
to state.

be" remarked the gentleman. " But
III try him, and put him to little troub-
le." So saying, the gentleman drew from
his pocket sovereign, which he dropped
into the beggar's hat The medicant
turned the coin over two or three times,
examined it closely, and then, raising his
eyes to the countenance of the benevolent
man, said" Well, I'll not adhere to my
usual custom in this case. I'll keep it
all this time but don't do it again" The
donor opened his eyes in astonishment
and passed on-while the ladies smiled
with delight.

A Medical Exneriment. a.

A curious experiment was tried in
Russia with some murderers. They were
placed, without knowing it, in four beds
where four persons had died of the chol-
era. They did not take the disease. They
were then told that they were to sleep in
beds where some perso ms had died of
malignant cholera; but the beds we're,
in fact. new and had not been used at
all. Nevertheless three of them died of
the disease within four hours.

A Chinese VIII.

A Chiuaman died, leaving his property
by will to his three sons, as follows To
Fun Hum, his eldest, one-half thereof /;
Nu-Pin, his second son, one-third thereof,
and to Ding bat, his youngest, one-ninth
thereof When the property was inven-
toried, it was found to consist of nothing
more than seventeen elephants; and
the boys applied to wise neighbor, Sam
Punk, for advice. Sam Punk had an ele-
phant of his own. He drove it into the
yard with the seventeen and said "Now
we will suppose that your father left these
eighteen elephants. Fum-Hum, take
your half and depart" So Fun Hum
took nine elephants and went his way
" Now, Nu-Pin," said the wise man, 'take
your third and git" So Nu-Pin took six
elephants and Travelled. "Now, Ding
Bat" said the wise man, take your ninth
and begone." So Ding-Bat took two ele-
plants and absquatulated. Then Sam
Punk took his own elephant and drove
home again. Query-Was the property
divided according to the terms of the will !?
