A WELL CULTIVATED EAR.-A most
remarkable illustration of the power
which a telegraphic operator acquires to
distinguish individuals by their touch
upon the instrument, has just been af-
forded by Mr.. Hampstead, one of the
operators in the Western Union Tele-
graph Company's Office in this city.
About fortnight ago, Mike W. Sher-
man, formerly an expert and we'll known
telegraph operator here, escaped from
the Middleton Insane Asylum, where he
has been confined, and though thorough
search was made for him, he successfully
eluded the people who were on his track
until Monday night. While Hampstead
was at work IN the office here that night,
he suddenly recognized among the clat-
ter of a score of messages passing over
the wires. a sound which he at once de-
clared was the touch of the missing
Mike. 1t proved to be a message from
Wallingford, and an investigation showed
that Mr. Hampstead was quite right in
ascribing it to the insane man, who was
found there, he having dropped into the
office in the former place and taken a
hand at his old busineSs.-HartfOrd Times

therefore, discharged.

An Apt Pupil.

The New York correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald tells how poor young
man of New York City came to own lots
on Staten Island
Two years ago a hotel keeper, well
known throughout this country, opened
an elegant hotel at one of the most fre.
ouented summer resorts. He wanted
clerk. Application for the position was
made by young man, fine-lookiug fel-
low who confessed to being very poor.
If you would share my rainy-day ret1ec-
TORS you must not lose sight Of the fact
that he was indeed dreadfully poor.
Mr.. l. did not think less Of him be-
cause of his poverty, though afterward he
had occasion to think of it as an existing
fact at the time he was employed. For
he did employ him, and proceeded to in
struct him in regard to his duties. The
burden of his instructions related to the
bills, and were rather singular. He told
the poor young man that when he made
out a bill for party he should make 1t
approprate-which meant in harmony
With their style and appearance, number
of trunks, and amount of luggage gener
ally, diamonds, and so on, and above all,
it should have no connection with what
they had actually got in the way of extras
or anything. He informed the young
man that people generally who stopped
at his house did not notice bill of items
Did he comprehend ?" He thought he
did-and time proved that he did.
The hotel fourished meanwhile. The
elite patronized it-people you know,
with loyal contempt for items.
Near the close of this last season
gentleman from New York stepped in
the office Of the c. Hotel and asked
the proprietor for the clerk, this poor
Young man. Mr.. l. told him he was
out. would be in presently. Would he
wait9 "Well, yes" said the stranger.
''l am anxious to see B (the clerk :;
am negotiating with him for line Of
property over on Staten Island"
ooh, then it can't be B you want
to see. He hasn't any property" Mr..
l. politely explained.
"Yes, it is B." said the stranger.
''You have a clerk by that name, haven't
you2"
EYES," said the poor young mans en-
ployer, confidently, "but he is poor; has
nothing; came to me very poor, two
years ago You can wait and see him, OF
course; but 1 do assure you you have
made mistake
At this moment B came in, walked
up to the stranger at once, and shook
hands.
Mr.. L spoke up. "Here, B,
this gentleman called to see you, he says
about some property you own on Staten
Island. You haven't any property there,
have you2"
"Yes, sir" replied the young man,
modest, though unembarrassed.
How does this happen?" questioned
Mr.. l.. Didn't you come here own
ing nothing-very poOr2"
The poor young man Strengthened uP
with the air of an honest man, diScharging
sacred duty, and thus he did say.
Eyes, sir; l came into your employ
poor. You instructed me to swindle and
cheat our guests My holding my posi-
ton depended on my following instruc-
tions. 1 did follow them, and put Il
share of the results in my own pocket.
To-day, I am comparatively rich, and I
own that property this gentleman wishes
to buy. Now, what can you do with
me? l should really like to know"

MACHINERY FOR CUTTING COAL.-Ma-
chinerv for cutting coal has lately been
introduced into the British mines. Judg-
ing from the accounts given of the opera
tons of these machines, they would be
invaluable in the United States. One
great benefit derived from these machines
is the large percentage of waste they
save. When coal is drilled by hand and
blasted out the waste is very great; 1t Is
claimed. often exceeding twenty-five per
cent. With coal.cutting machinery it has
been found that the pc: :centage OF waste
can be much reduced In the report of
the trials Of the Miller & Anderson ma
chimes at Coalbridge, Scotland, it Is
claimed that the waste did not exceed
ten per cent and that one machine did
the work of thirty men at cost per day
but little greater than the wages of one
man in the United States Our immense
beds of coal, bat with high cost Of min
ing. are the most suitable fields for the
working of such machines. With them we
could defy competition and break "coal
corners" whenever necessary.

A SHOCKING CRlME.-Annie Murray
4 married woman with family of small
children, living in South Brooklyn, left
her children to make a short visit to the
wife of Patrick McClosky, residing on
an upper floor of the same building.
After concluding her visit she left Mrs.
McClosky's apartment to return to her
own. and was met on the landing at the
top of the stairs by McClosky, who com
menced abusing her in violent manner.
He se,Zed and hurled her from window
into the yard below. In falling, her body
struck on the sharp points OF a picket
fence literally impaling her alive. Her
oroanS attracted the attention Of neigh
bors. who came to her assistance, and
the suffering woman was conveyed to
the Long Island College Hospital. Mrs.
Murray who was scarcely able to speak,
said that her husband had left her In
Nav, last and she has not seen him
since; that she gave McClosky no provo
cation whatever for the assault upon her
and that he is seldom sober, but could
not say whether he was or was not drunk
on that day.

A Fathers ADVICE TO A BRIDE
Said young husband, whose business
speculations were unsuccessful, "My wife'S
silver tea set doomed me to financial ruin
1t involved hundred unexpected expen-
seS, which, IN trying to meet, has made
me the bankrupt am" His is the ex-
perence Of Others, who, less wise, do not
know the goblin Of the house working its
destruction. A Sagacious father Of great
wealth exceedingly mortified his daughter
by ordering it to be printed ON her we'd
ding cards, "No present except those
adapted to an income OF 81 900" Sud
be, You must not expect to begin life ia
the style | am ale, by many years labor
to indulge; and | know Of nothing that
will tempt you to try more than the we'll
inteHtioEed but pernicious gifts of rich
friends" Such advice to a daughter was
timely. Ifothcr parents would follow the
same plan, young men would be spared
years ofmccssant toll and anxiety; they
would not find themselves on the down
ward road, because their wives had worn
all their salary, or expended it on the ap-
pointmcnt> of the house. The tate 0: the
poor man who found a Inch pin, ard felt
obliged to make carriage to fit it, is the
fate OF the husband who finds his bride in
possession Of gold and silver valuable>, and

CARE For THE EYEs.--Multitude Of
men and women have made their eyes
weak for life by the too free use of the
eyesight. reading small print and doing
fine sewing. In doing these things it
is well to observe the following rules In
the use of the eyes: Avoid all sudden
changes between light and darkness.
Never read by twilight on very cloudy
day. Never sleep so that on waking the
eyes shall open on the light of the win
dow. Do noS use the eyes by light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate. Never read or sew directly
in front of the light of window or door.
It is best to have light fall from above,
obiiquely over the left shoulder. Too
much light creates glare and pain, and
confuses the sight. The moment that
you are sensible Of an effort to distin-
gulsh, that moment stop and talk, walk
or ride. As the sky is blue and the
earth is green, 1t would seem that the
ceiling should be blush tinge, aid the
carpet green, and the walls of some mel
low tint. The moment that you are in
stinctiveIy prompted to rub the eyes,
that moment cease using them. If the
eyeIids are glued together on waking, do
not forcibly open them, but apply the
saliva with the finger, and then wash
vour ewes and face with warm water.

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENTAL young man
recently ran away from the galleys at
Toulouse. He was strong and vigoI Gus,
and arrived next morning before cottage
and stopped to get something to eat, and
get a refuge while he reposed little.
But he found the inmates of the cottage
in the greatest distress. -Four little chill
dren sat trembling in the corner-the
mother sat weeping and tearing her hair,
and the father walked the floor in much
agony. The galley slave asked what was
the matter, and the father replied that
they were that morning to be turned out
of doors, because they could not pay their
rent. "You see me driven to despair"
said the father, my wife and little ones
deprived of food and shelter, and with
out means to provide for them" The
convict listened to the tale with tears of
sympathy, and said: 81 will give you the
means. I have just escaped from the gal
leys. Whoever brings back an escaped
prisoner is entitled to a reward Of fifty
francs. How much does the rent amount
to-" "Forty francs" said the father.
MY children should starve before 1 would
do so base a thing" The generous man
insisted, and declared he would go and
give himself up if the father would not
take him. The latter yielded, and taking
his preserver by the ann, led him to the
city, and to the Mayors office. Every
body was surprised that little man had
been able to capture such strong young
fellow, The fifty francs were paid, and
the prisoner sent back to the galleys;
but after he was gone the father asked a
private interview with the Mayor, to
whom he told the whole story. The
Mayor was so much affected that he not
only added francs to the fathers purse,
but wrote Immediately to the Minister OF
Justice, begging the noble prisoners re-
lease. The minister examined into the
affair, and finding it was comparatively
small offence which condemned the young
man to the galleys, and that he had al
ready served out half of his term, ordered
his release.

Tie INVENTOR OF Spoon FISHING.-
The inventor of ''spoon tisaing Is said
TO be an old man named De Castle, who,
for twenty-five years, has been lock
master on the canal around the Norris
burg rapids on the st. Lawrence river.
He had been fishing off one of the islands
below the town with little success, and
looking down from his boat into the
clear, green water, could see the fish
moving lazily about. In taking pinch
of snuff from his vest pocket he pulled
out silver sixpence, which, falling into
the river, went wavering down through
the water. The glitter attracted large
pickerel, which dashed for the slxpence
and swallowed it. The sportsman pond
cred over the matter, and on his return
home confscated his wife's brass kettle,
and cutting piece out of it, soldered 1t
to hook and set out with this new bait.
He had not been long on the water be-
fore he had a very fierce strike. After
struggle of an hour, he succeeded in
landing the largest fish he had ever
caught, muscalonge weighing forty
eight pounds.

The gentleman of the bar had, of course
a sufficiently elastic conscience. He refec-
ted a moment, and then, being sure that
no one overheard him, replied hesitatingly:
Mademoiselle, according to our law,
you always possess the means Of forcing
man to marry you. You must remain on
three occasions alone with him; you can
then go before Judge and swear that he
is your lover"
"And will that suffice, Monsieur?''

every well, Monsieur, l will retain you
as counsel in the management of this.

A few days afterwards the young lady
returned. She was mysteriously received
by the lawyer, who scarcely gave her time
to seat herself, and questioned her with
the most lively curiosity.
"Capital, capital ~
"Persevere in your design, Mademoiseile
but the next time you come to consult
me give me the name of the young man
you are going to make so happy in spite of
himself"
A fortnight afterward the young lady
knocked at the door of the counse's room.
No sooner was she in than she flung herself
into chair, saying that the walk had
made her breathless. Her counsel tried to
reassure her, made her inhale salts, and
even proposed to unlose her garments.

sense not to get angry. The most singular
fact of ali ia, that he adores his young
wife, who makes an excellent housekeeper.
