Spies and $ ShadoMs.v

AS rule, private detectives are used
only in civil cases one firm, it is true,
has dealt In criminal matters, but, with
this exception, private detectives find it
necessary to confine themselves to civil
or social cases. The reasons for this are
obvious. Private detectives have no
official authority, consequently they are
less dreaded by, and are less brought
into contact with, the professional
thieves and ut-throats again, the class
es of persons who employ private detec-
tives generally desire privacy and
secrecy the ofeDses which they desire
ferreted out being such as they do not
wish to make noise about in the pub
lie criminal calendar.
The field for the usefulness of the
private detective, even with this limlta-
ton, is, however, ample. 1t covers an
immense number of separate classes OF
cases. Private detectives, for example,
are found very serviceable In the serving
of processes in civil suits. All sorts Of
stratagems are naturally resorted to by
the parties dreading the serving of these
processes upon them to avoid said SER
vice, and consequently all sorts Of coun-
ter stratagems are resorted to by the
side DESTROYS of serving-who often en-
ploy private detectives to accomplish
this object. A recent case in point will
serve to illustrate. A man Called, let
us say, Robinson) was concerned in a
case in which Adams Express Company
was largely Interested. This Robinson
was very willy, and resorted to every
known dodge to avoid being summoned
in this case. He assumed aliases, he
left town, he denied his identity. At
last private detective employed by the
company hit upon an idea, and reduced
it to practice. One day an express
wagon, not Adams Express, drove up to
Robinson's store and messenger
alighted. This messenger bore reg
ularly- marked money package for Mr..
So-and so Robinson. Everything was in
regular business shape; there could be
no possible trick here there was genuine
money awaiting him here-so thought
the Mr.. So-and-so Robinson, who, ac-
cordingly, though he had within twenty
four hours denied his name, now con-
fessed to it with smile of anticipation,
even took his oath to it with earnestness,
only to find too late that he had fallen
into trap, that the messenger was a
private detective, and that the money
package contained the hated and long
evnideG summons. -EIeaD York Sun.

Viewing Us with a Critics Eye.

American society at the summer re-
sorts is analysed by Pail MGW Ga
zette writer, who says that the line sep
arating classes is like corkscrew. AS
to the power of money, he writes !:
g Whatever influence wealth, new or
old, may have, culture is something
which uniformly commands respect and
a good position IN all circles. 1t may be
entirely overshadowed by the claims OF
wealth in some places and among some
classes, but it is everywhere recognized
as sufficient passport to the highest
social circle" Advice to the foreign
observer is thus given: elf he meet
people who, have cultivation, but do not
presume upon it or show too much evil
dence that they are conscious OF possess
ing it, he may assume that they move IN
good circles, and he need not ask him.
self what profession or business the
head of the family is engaged in. Such
a family, the visitor may feel almost
certain, belongs to the best circles of
it's own neighborhood. Finally, if an
English visitor fails to find true refine
ment in family, and nothing, at best,
beyond display of snowy accomplish
nlents, he need not deceive himself by
any preconceived notions of the power
OF wealth in American society. Such
family does not move in the really good
society, and any opinions of American
social life based upon the supposition
that it does will be erroneous. ~ Fl

One Of the First Negro strels.

Isaac Ray, better known by his stage
name of Sam johnson, died recently at
River View, KY, in the 72d year of his
age. He introduced Jim Grow Rice and
other famous burnt cork artists to the
public, and was himself performer of
great talent. He was the manager of
variety theaters in New York and other
cities, and travelled extensively with
negro minstrel troupes. at one time he
was connected with Dan Rice in the
show business. but fer many years prior
to his death had abandoned the stage.
In some respects he was remarkable
man. Last summer he appeared to be
in the enjoyment of his usual health
and vigor, and, although p years OF
age, would have passed for 80. He
brought out Dan Bryant and his brother
when they were small boys, bringing
them upon the stage ina bag, and turn
ing them out before the footlights as
colored cupids.

Celery as a Cure.All.

The habitual daily use of this vegeta-
BILE Is much more beneficial to man than
most people are aware of. A writer
who is familiar with its virtues says !:
81 have known many men and women
who, from various causes, had become
so much affected by nervousness that
when they stretched out their hands they
shook like aspen leaves on windy day,
and by moderate daily use of the
blanched footstalks of celery rs a salad
they become as strong and steady in
limb as other people. / have known
others so nervous that the least annoy
ance put them in state of agitation and
they were in constant pe,plexity and
fear, who were also effectually cured by
q moderate daily use of blanched celery
as salad at meal time. L have known
others to be cured of palpitation of the
heart. Everybody engaged In labor
weakening to the nerves should use
celery daily in the season and onions
in its stead when not In season. 10
this we may add that prominent New
York druggist draws in winter from his
soda fountain hot extract of celery,
mixed with Liebig's meat extract, under
the name of o4.celery. It il nourish
ing drink at lunch time, lar better than
coffee or tea, and is doing great deal
in this neighborhood to promote tenn
perance. We give celery almost daily
to our canary birds and it cures them OF
fits they are little animals, with very
delicate nerves, easily frightened, and
therefore they need such remedy very
much, and the relish with which they
take it is aproof that their instinct guides
them to eat what is good for them. A
manufacturer of perfuInerY of our &C
uuaintance some years ago commenced
to prepare an extract of celery seed, put
up in bottles, and intended to give
strength to old or exhausted persons,
who, by over-indulgences, have reached
such state as to require restoratives.-
