individual with the strength of an army against fate
while it does not impair his independence. The
savings bank gives no contingent right in the com

standing, and q considerable amount OF the
contents buried under the debris and il i,

CONDUCTORS on the Boston horse railroads
have been compelled for some time past to use
wonderful little punch wherewith they per-
forate the tickets taken from passengers. We
have not been able to comprehend the mysteries
OF this little implement, but its detective pow
ers are such that the receipts OF the Metropoli-
tan railway have increased thirty five per cent.
since it has been in use. This fact is rather
startling in view of the superior honesty which
Boston conductors we're supposed to have
