Shook the Wrong Boy.

In the southern section Of the city on
Monday afternoon about dusk, says the
Baltimore American, lady was greatly
annoyed by several urchins ringing her
door bell, and who, taking to their heels,
enjoyed the joke immensely when che
answered the summons. Several times
she came down stairs, but was always
too late to effect the capture Of one. AT
la st she planned scheme. She stood
at the head of the steps and awaited
their coming. Pretty soon step was
heard on the porch, and in moment
the bell was given vigorous jerk. i
see you, Won little rascalp the lady
said, and rushing down stairs caught
the unresistpg figure by the coat collar
and gave him a good shaking. When
her strength was exhausted and she
was hoarse with excitement, she looked
into the face OF the object Of her wrath
and discovered, to her intense horror,
that it was the diminutive minister OF
her church, who was looking as red in
the face, to use her piscatorisl descrip
ton OF him to friend, as boiled lob
ster. A few words Of explanation made
the matter all right, and it was soon
forgotten.

The sharpest Bank swindIo Yet Re
corded.

corded.
The Kansas City Ne,os gives the fol-
lowing account of the latest swindle on
record:
A we'll dressed gentleman, who for
naturalization we will call Smith, en-
tered the bank, and in a stralghttor'
ward business-like manner, desired the
bank to advance him the sum Of $SoO
on draft drawn by banking firm in
a neighboring State. The parties
being strangers, the bank informed him
they could not advance the money.
"Well," said Smith, ut will make no
difference. You can take the draft and
send it forward for collection, and l
will wait until you get returns" This
was agreed to by the bank, and the
draft was sent forward for collection.
In due time the bank received q hand
somely gotten up draft on a banking
house in New York, with the proper
Government stamp printed in, for the
sum OF $500, which amount was duly
paid over to Smith, VINO departed:
The draft was sent on to New YORK,
and in few days the bank received the
consoling information that the whole
transaction was a complete ana sue
cesstul fraud and swindle.
This is game which could easily
have been played upon the most careful
banking house in the country.

Hog Farming q Ia Greeley.

The Detroit Free Press wickedly re,
lates the following: Greeley often
reiterated advice that every family
should keep hog in case they would
not 60 out West and buy a farm-in.
duced citizen OF Howard street to in
vest eight dollars in 'shoat last fall.
In addition TO the feed from the family
pail the man purchased and fed the
hog eleven dollars worth OF corn, paid
three dollars to rescue him from the
pound, and killed him the other day to
find that he had a hundred and eighty
pounds Of pork for twenty-three dollars.
As dressed hogs sell for five cents a
pound on the street, and this cost over
twelve, the citizen wants Greeley to
tell him where the profit comes iu. The
philosopher would probably say that
the pleasure taken in supplying the
porkers wants and watching his growth
was sufficient compensation Tor the
additional expense"

The Hon. Mr.. Snapp.

The representative from the Sixth
District of Illinois is becoming quite
notorious. Mary Coleman Ames, the
Washington correspondent of the Inde'
pendent, gives a personal sketch Of MIR.
Snapp, from which we quote; "He is a
tall, angular, bloodess looking man,
with the tallow-candle complexion
peculiar to miasmatic regions, where
malaria saps out the warm, rich life
and supplants it with its own yellow
hue. He has stiff white hair, deepset
eyes, a tight.shut mouth, severe enough
to bite a nail.head off at a single bite,
His appearance is pugnacious, his man,
ner 'bumptious;' yet he has a full,
clear voice, and sufficient dignity Of
presence to have impressed the House
in his favor in this his initial speech,
had it been in him so TODD. Indeed, he
chose to be bombastic, vulgar and dis
gushing. He treated the House OF
Representatives and the ladies in the
galleries to display OF butfoonery that
would have been creditable to a circus
clown in sawdust ring"

London Statistics.

The population of London, accord
ing to the last census, is 3,8S3, 002.
This vast multitude is more than the
combined population Of New York,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, st. Louis,
Chicago, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Bos-
ton, New Orleans, San Francisco,
Buffalo and Allegheny City, Pa. To
lodge these people, III, 900 dwellings
are required, and the people consume
annually about 4, 100000 barrels of
flour, 40, 600 bullocks, 2, 975 900 sheep,
$4,000 calves, 81, $50 hogs, and one
market alone supplies annually 7,043, :
$50 head of game. This, together
with S, $50, 600 salmon, irrespective of
other fish and flesh, is washed down
by IS, 900, 600 gallons of ale and porter,
$500, 900 gallons of spirits and 113, $50
pipes of wine. To fill its milk and
cream jugs, q, $50 cows are kept. To
light its streets at night $50, 600 gas
lights are required, consuming every
"a hours 22,27O, 600 cubic feet of gas.
Its water system supplies the enor-
NOUS quantity of 1850, 1924 gallons
per day, while its sewer system car
ries off 16, 629, $50 cubic feet of refuse.
To warm its inhabitants fleet OF
1880 sail is employed in bringing,
irrespective of railroads, annually
5,25O,OO0 tons of coal. The smoke OF
this immense quantity of coal is
sometimes so dense as to be plainly
seen SO miles from the city. To clOthe
this multitude we find there are 4, 16O
tailors, 50,4 boot and shoemakers,
nearly 10000 milliners and dressmak.
ers, and 297, 500, domestic servants.
The streets of the metropolis are about
$500 in number and if put together
would extend about 4, 900 miles. The
principal ones are traversed by about
500 Omnibuses and 1000 cabs, be.
sides private carriages and carts, EN-
plOying $1,000 horses.

CARE IN MILKING

Says Daniel Foster: began to
milk when l was only eight years
old, which is sixty-four years ago,
and there has not been more than
two months in all of the sixty-four
years but what l have every day
had something 10 do with COWS.
And perhaps L know as much about
cows as any other boy that is no older
than l am. l have had some expe-
rience with cows teats. At night 1
wash the teats with water (prefer to
have it warm), then with brush
such as painters have, and a tin ba-
sin, have some pure hogslard melted,
and give the cracks a good greasing.
Then ! feed the cows with some-
thing that they like to eat, which
diverts their attention. commence
stripping down the teats with my
thumb and finger; do not clasp my
whole hand harshly round the teat,
for by so doing, the cracks will open
and hurt the COW. If the COW ia in
clined to kick, do not whip her. l
have long since found it better to pat
them on their shoulders and card
their cheeks, speaking gently to
,hem, than to use all the goadsticks
one can get hold of. Ittakes a little
longer to milk in this way, as milk
ia long quart milk-measure, with
one hand, going round and taking
only quart at time out of each
