One cold night was taking 8 hundred rats to a broker s house for rat bait, when @ Cooper stopped me in the street and asked me what l had in the bag. had my collar up over my face and an old cap on, and he took me for 8 burglar. I said hadn't got anything, but kept shaking the bag. We'll, this policeman wanted to catch burglar bad, so he necked me and took me to the station. A certain captain, I aint going to mention his name, was behind the desk, and he says: 'Who've ye got there, Connors P and the cop says: I guess he's burglar. , So he is, says the captain, his picture IS in the gallery and he came out from behind the desk to have good look at me. What stuff have you got in that bag. You can look for yourself, says l, and I gave him the bag. He dropped it on the floor, and you ought to see bis face when them rats ran all over the station house. Who are you,' says he. I'm Dick the Rat, says I. 'You get out of here, quick, says he, and so I did. We'll, good night, young fellow. I'm going out to Newark tomorrow to work brewery"

Breach of Trust.

The New York Herald, in view of the recent mysterious departure of we'll known lawyer and trustee for several es- tates, calls for rigid law for the pun ishment of breach of trust. The editor says: We must make breach of trust a crime. We must accept no apology like that we hear every hour almost in dis cussing the cases of these recent de- faulters. There is 10 office more easily executed than tbat of trustee. We have securities of tho best character in which to invest trust funds. The law should make it crime for trustee to use any other. Let the securities be government bonds, trust companies ap- proved by the State laws, and mortgages on real estate so guarded as to allow for depression of business and the fall that is sometimes seen in that generally prime security. We must go into this whole business of trusts with two pur- poses-tirst to so arrange our laws that any breach of trust where it affects the management of the estates of widows and children, shall be felony, to be punished as we punish forgery; and, second, to deal with the offender against this law, in personal and social life, as @ criminal of the most despicable grade.

blue -shirted men in miners boots and slouch hats. A dozen or two miners, merchants and hunters brought up the rear, and the procession moved silently on.
 Then shallow grave on the hillside, sunk, as one of the amateur sextons said, "clar down to the bedrock, gentlemen, down whar the dirt shows good color. |" Silently the body was taken from the wagon and tenderly laid in the golden earth upon the bedrock. Then every head was barred and every bronzed coun- tenance bowed while one or two selec- tions, of Scripture were read. The grave was soon filed and white pine headstone set in the earth, and thus the city of Custer inaugurated it's grave yard.
 The saddest point about this affecting incident is yet to be mentioned. No letters, papers, or even the slightest clew to his home or friends have been found. All that is known is that he walked all the way from Sioux City to the Black Hills to die and start grave yard.

" "The Meanest WOman."

The Christidn O6server describes as follows what it calls the "meanest woman in New York D: She lives in a fashionable quarter of the town. In the name of charity she gave out some dressmaking to the inmates of one of the institutions for reforming and saving women supposed to be lost. When the work was done, and we'll done, the fash ionable and charitable lady was not ready to pay the bill, which amounted to $l2 The same work, if it had been done at a fashionable dressmaker' s, woul, have cost $25, perhaps $50. She had no complaint to make about the work done, but haggled about the price, and, as she gave out the work in charity, she thought, probably, that the charity should be extended to her and not to the poor sewing woman.
 One month passed away, and another, and six more, while this wealthy and charitable woman, with one excuse and another, put off paying the poor girl. She could not get her hard earned money, and finally, in despair, had re- course to the law, by the aid of the working women's agency, and the pros pect of exposure, in the character of 8 Irauu, brought the lady to terms, ana she paid the full amount
 When pious woman of fashion, a leader perhaps in the benevolent opera tions of the church, first directress of this society, and manageress of that, and treasurer of another; who thinks nothing of paying $500 for a dress of one evenings wear, and, to be very charitable, employs poor fallen woman struggling with poverty and honesty, and then "neglects" to pay her wages, she deserves to be labeled as among the meanest of her sex.

Why Children are Punished.

First Mother. "Now that baby is getting old enough to understand; you ought to punish her when she is naughty"
 Second Mother. "In what wayG"
 "By skipping her hands or spanking her."
 "Strike my darlingi It would kill me to do such thing"
 "But if you don't punish her she will ride over you rough-shod."
 CT think not; at any rate, wait and see. Still, I would rather she should be a spoiled child than I should do as you suggest. It don't do children any good to whip them"
 "Well, at least tt IS relfGf to us when they are willful and agg' vatipg."
 "That's just my idea. It is because mothers cannot control their anger that they become incensed against their little ones and treat them so. WI pping is sort of safety valve to their fvulings. A true mother should restrain herself, even when provoked. An angry woman cannot act justly, but may often do cruel things, which she will afterwards keenlg regret"
