LONDON THIEVES.

A London correspondent thus writes of
q noted swindle of that city: " Boyle
says these fellows often steal whole boat
loads and train loads of coal, and the de-
tectives can't get a clue to them. The
statement appeared TO me so ridiculous
that l supposed my companion to be jok-
ing. He was, however, in earnest, and
he told me the way they did 1t. In the
first place. said he, you know that these
chaps have regular organized society
for purposes of mutual assistance in car
rying out their plans of robbery, or as
sisting each other when they fall into
the hands of justice. Each man is as
signed to particular district, and when
he has made haul there be is transferr-
ed to another. They are all rich, and
VIII never large sum is needed to carry
oat their knayish plans, the money is not
wanting. For instance train of coal
comes into tie city for sale. One of the
gang disguised as a respectable coal deal
er, approaches the man who has the coal
In charge, and after some talk bargains
for it. The same afternoon he comes
with perhaps a hundred coal carts, un-
loads the entire train, whisks off the whole
cargo in two or three hours, and the pur-
chaser, taking the precaution TO be little
late for banking hours, gives his check
in payment, which, of course, on present.
alton the next morning is found to be
worthless. The coal and purchaser is
gone, and it is as difficult to trace the one
as the other. The same thing is done
with boat loads Of coal, for the thieves
have their own barges and employees on
the river as well as on the land. We
have not yet been able to break up this
swindle, though the whole department
has been at work at it,
The whole thing seemed so incredible
to me that l took the next opportunity of
asking another detective about it. yes,
said he, that coal swindle is one of the
biggest things in London. We can't
get at the ringleaders yet, but we're lay
ing our plans for grand haul. 1t may
take two or three years to mature them,
for it is an exceedingly big thing, but
we must thoroughly mature our plans.'
Good heavens = | exclaimed, lis it pos
sible you allow people in London to be
robbed like this for two years before you
break up the gangof swinders p
Yes said he, London is a big town,
and such things go slow, but, / think, in
about two years we shall mature our
plans and make grand haul"

ToUGH BUT TRUE.-The grasshopper
is not as big as thousand other things
we can name, but then the insect has as
much devilment in its carcass as was ey-
er contained in the same space in any
thing that ever lived or breathed. Stor-
1cs have been published of how they com
pletey bockaded railroads out West.
but they were looked upon as fancinll
production, existing only in the imagin-
alton Of the reporter. And still these
stories were not imaginary. On We'd
nesday, train No. 7, Of the st. Joseph and
Denver railroad, struck the grasshoppers
between Axtell and Beattle. The insects
covered the track two inches thick. and
the engineer was completely at his wits
end to know what to do. He understood
n soaped track, but track covered with
grasshoppers was novelty. He put on
all the steam he could and tried to drive
ahead, and yet he was actually nine hours
making eleven miles. How many grass
hoppers were killed no one will ever un-
dertske to say. Yesterday morning, con-
ductor Scott Sharp pulled out of Seneca
on time, and thought he would have an
easy run to st. Joseph. la this he was
slightly mistaken. Two miles out the
track was completely blockaded by grass
hoppers, and the engineer found it i'm
possible to proceed. He hated to be beat
en- by such trifing insects, but finally
had to iun back to Seneca and wait till
the insects had crossed the track on their
way southward. These stories look a lit
tie tough, but they are true.-@. Joseph

John Bright has long been regarded as ont
of the most eloquent speakers in the English
house of Commons, and one OF the mos'
popular orators with the people.
His sterling common sense, his candor, and
his wonderful pathos, make him general
favorte, and he always draws large crowd
when announced TO speak in public.
But it is not so well known that his power OF
sarcasm is almost unrvaled. When provok
ed by the taunts of opponents to use this
weapon, which he does but seldom, his re-
torts are overwhelming.
Quite recently he replied to some OF inc
Tory party, who had been finding fault with
the measures of Mr. Gladstone. Tie said;
These gentlemen must find fault; 1t is their
nature; if they had been In the wilderness
they would have complained of the Ten Com
mandmcnts as a harassing piece OF lcgisla
ton
But his sharpest sarcasms have been against
members of the nobility. When boasts had
been made of the antiquity of prominent
family that their ancestors came over with
the conquerer, his reply was prompt, i never
heard that they did anything else
A noble lord once said, on occasion of Mr.,
Brights sickness, that Providence was pun
ishing him for misuse Of talents by intiicting
disease ofthe brain The sarcasm OF the re-
ioinder was terrific when Mr. Bright resumed
his seat
1T may be so; but, in any case, 1t will be
some consolation to the friends and family OF
the noble lord to know that the disease is one
which even Providence could not intlict upon
him
