The following story is related in connec-
ton with the run on the Union Trust
Company in New York, last week. A
long line Of people were waiting to draw
their money out of the institution. An
excited individual offered boy represent
ing commercial house, $50 for his place
in the line, and afterward increased the
bid to 500. The boy, loyal to his en-
ployers, would not sell his place for the
tempting offer. A man ahead of him,
however, responded, and said he would
sell his place for 5000. The money was
paid him Immediately, and the place was
given up. As he walked away he said
to friend, II had only 800 in that con.
Germ, and | think have come out a little
ahead.
Colonel w, II. Wood, Of the Eleventh
Infantry, commanding at Fort Richard

were horribly mutilated. Twenty-seyen
Indians were engaged in the attack.
Captain Thomas Little, Of the Tenth
Cavalry, started with his company 10
pursuit of the murderen.

EDWIN ADAMS.


4 Grent Actors premis c to his NJ q ther
In our boybooi, Edwin Adams WAS
our "bright particular star" of the stage
Of the Monumental city. His fire thrilled,
his grace fascinated w. No young actor
in the Atlsnlic States occupied so sYalted
niche in tho publis heart. His appear
anse WAS always the signal for a thunder
holt Of sheer. Fair hands waived ter-
chief saluatons. Masculine heels Tailed
frantic hasiinndo. Gloves were snots
with piqnant rapture, and Bravo Bra
70 ~ hailed him from "pit to dome.
We recall to-day a beautiful incident
which followed the close Of one Of his
most brilliant approximations, while We
we're q resident Of Baltimore. Thorough
ly exhausted, though he was, with the long
hours Of his mounting tides OF passion,
he was eReorcd with n furore 50 tremendous
and u clamor so intractabls, that he at
length yielded to the pressure, and setting
the curtain ajar, stepped out 10 meet sach
plNudts as were never accorded TO but
one man befors--that archangel Of TRACE
dy, the elder Booth. .rsvm "a. ia. tna
Speak !" rang out the trumpet voice Of
Hon, Holiday Hicks, then tyro in politics,
and during The rebe lion somewhat cele-
braled as one Of the border State Govern
ors.
Young Adams blaEchsd somewhat as he
lifted his eyes to meet that kindled, rest
less mass, but the shock quickly passin 8,
the princely blood manilsd his cheeks like
flame, and his eye looking down and
around upon that human storm; soft as .
woman's, his lips parted with the noble
psthos Of these Words "Lsdies and ses-
tlemen when pausing upon the thrssh-
old of my home to receive q mothers fare
well blessing, | gave her this parting
pledge, that in whatever department OF
this worlds duties my life-w work was 10 DO

and honestly shall write to that
mother tomorrow, and tell her that the
people Of Baltimore have lid that her son
has not only done his work faithfully and
honestly but that he has done il triumph.

Is grace and finish in the shape Of the

THE Brooklyn Tabernacle, Mr.. Tai
mage, pastor, was the victim of an in
genious system of robbery. For some
time the trustees were mortified at the
disappearance of money, in sums varying
from $25 to 800, from the collection
boxes. These boxes, eighteen in number,
were placed in receptacles, or "pigeon.
holes" made for the purpose in the front
of the pastors platform. The "pigeon-
holes" extend through the platform nearly
three feet, or the length of box and
handle. A few Sundays ago one of the
deacons, who was sitting in front Of the
platform, made remarkable discovery.
The collection had been taken up, and the
boxes returned to their places. The dea.
cons eye happened to be resting upon the
'pigeon.holes," when he was startled by
the sudden disappearance of one of the
handles, which had protruded little
from the hole. He rubbed his eyes, but
kept them fixed on the place. Presently
another handle disappeared, and then q
third. This little incident necessitated
the services of police detectives, who,
after couple of weeks, discovered the
robber, wljo had been accustomed to
crawl under the platform through the
organroom, remove the back part of the
pigeon holes, and empty the boxes.
