A New SPINDLE.

A Brooklyn pawnbroker has hit upon
new idea for the improvement OF bus
mess. He pledges in his own office a
worthless ring, made in imitation ofgeld
and apparently worth about $50. The
ticket for this bogus pledge, on which a
loan Olive dollars or whereabouts seems
to have been made, is then dropped on
the street near the door of the pawn Of

wayfarer, while the enterprising broker
calmly watches his bait. Very soon the
ticket is picked up, and pocketed by the
finder with q chucklc. In o short time
a call is made for the pledge; the loan
and interest at high rate are paid, and
the finder believes he has more than
doubled the value of his money, until
some friendly jewelcr, to whom the ring
is shown, acquaints him with its true
value which is generally about three
cents. The finder of the ticket is usual
ly satisfied to let the matter rest there,
as he feels himself little at fault in
connection with this petty swindle.

Emerson says: "Do no hang DIS

be gay should look well to himself. He
should fast ard pray until his faco breaks

up this strain ''Some people have an
idea that they comfort the afflicted when
they groan over them. Don't drive 4
hearse through mans soul. When
you bind up broken bone of the soul,
and you want splinis, do not make them

It was Mr.. Simmons deal. l was
the oldest man, and the blind was three,
calls seven. Ike Rasgles saw it; then it
was risen by Jones to fifteen for to play.
Brown came in, and also the dealer
stayed. Then it took me twelve to
make it good, which put up, and l re-
marked TO the SOCIETY that it would cost
only twenty-five moro to draw. Every
last gentleman STAYED, but it was not
risen any higher
Then the dealer says to me, allow
many will you take" Says l, "a card"
I had aces and kings, and got an ace in
the draw. Ike took three and Jones
two,bu Brown had enough, and told tho
dealer TO help hisself, which he took only
five. There was now about 1870 chips
on the board. Ike bet one, Jones went
ten better, and Brown raised it to TWEEN
~, because he stood pat. The dealer
said that his'n was valued at twenty
more.
Then said I, "How many does it take
meI" Some one said "forty chips"
which likewise, with sixty better.
Then all passed up to Brown, and l
wanted him bad to stay with his steal,
but his sand gave out, and he passed.
Says the dealer to me, CHOW many
did you drawn Says /, % card" DWELL
says be, 81 don't want TO lay down this
hand; will bet sixty more than you"
Now the dealer was stranger like to
our party. He was from the country,
and didn't know much about d. p. So
thought it was my charitable duty to
let him down easy, and l only called
him.
"What have you got?" Said 1. 1.-TWO
pairsw said the Mr.. Simmons. Then il
was my time to be sorry that l had al.
ace full on kings. "But," says the gen.
ial Mr.. Simmons, "mine is two pairs of
jacks" Thea said so ~ and put on my
hat and went down in the street to look
for Christmas. As went out of the
door, Brown asked me show many |
took !" But Brown always was a per-

Wig states that suit was recently
brought before q magistrate in tho vii
lage of Randolph, and during its progress
an Indian was brought forward to testi-

the general unmeaningncss Of his whole

in tho mind of the "court" as to- the
admissibility Of his testimony. Ac-
cording!y he was asked what the conse-
