John Stevens, of Logansport, Ind,
inherited an estate of $12, 900 two years
since and spent it in riotous living, and
now sues the trustees for its value, al
leging that he wasn't Of age when the

George Lord, of West Roxbury, died
few days ago. He got piece of meat
in his throat, and was in fair way to
choke to death, when doctor pulled it
out with his finger. Then current Of
air began to circulate between the skin
and flesh, putting the man up even to
his fingers and toes, and causing him in
tense pain. He soon died, after which
his body resumed ito normal eize.
A New Bedford man and his wife went
to neighboring town to get the body OF
their dead daughter. They put the cof-
fined corpse in their wagon and started
for home, where funeral was to be held,
but stopped at the first tavern and drank.
Their subsequent stops and drinks ex-
actly equalled the number of other tav-
erns on the routes and five miles from
home they were so drunk that they did
not notice the fall of the coffin from
the wagon. The body was found lying
face downward in the road.

and drove the fishermen back to the
shore, capsizing one boat, the crew of
which were saved with difficulty. After
disporting themselves triumphantly in
the bay for while the victorious whales
moved off majestically.

No Danger.

The Chicago Tribune suggests as a
means of preventing panics in theaters
and similar places of public resort a
plaoard with the words "False Alarm,
No Danger" which could address the
people through the eye when the tumult
would render audible speech impossible.
Such placard was for many years a
regular part of the stage furniture OF
the old Chicago museum, and it was
once or twice used with the happiest
effect.

GEN. JACKS DIAMOND.

Pretty much everybody has heard of
General Jacks penchant for diamonds,
and great many of us know the man
himself, sturdy character, sound and
firm on his feet as horse block.
It is said that those who want to come
it over General Jack-no easy thing to
do-always approach him on his dia-
mond side. He takes it as a compliment
to be asked to show his collection, and
does show it. But he is good Judge of
character for all. The story goes that
some thieves conspired to rob him by
profiting by his pleasure in showing his
treasures. There were three of them
nobby English fellows-who came over
expressly to do the job, and thoroughly
posted. They made his acquaintance,
and in due course procured the invita-
tion to see his diamonds. They claimed
to be sporting men, ardent turtles, but
connoisseurs in such things. They came
to Jacks house one forenoon in a coach,
and he received them alone, opened his
into their history, etc. "This," he
said, "is my Golconda specimen-not
very large, but remarkable for its bril-
ianoy and pure water. This is my Bra
zilian-it is bit off color, suspicion
of q canary tinge - "'s-r
Whack smack thwack. You
would, would you2" and with three sue
cessive blows of his fat white fist, his
three English visitors were knocked
down and put hOrs du combat. It was
amere suspicion on his part-something
he saw in the me / g faces, read in their
eyes--but it saved his diamonds. He
summoned aid, locked the safe, secured
the men, and found them fully armed
pistols, burglar tools, handouts, rope,
gag, chloroform, red pepper. He dis
armed them, bundled them into the
coach, and gave them twenty-four hours
to leave the country.
One day General Jack had q visitor, q
man of forty years, with grizzled hair
and stoop in his shoulders-a pallid
face, somewhat bloated from long indul-
gence in liquors. You don't know me,
General JACKIE" said the man.
The general was puzzled good deal.
"Hombre, I've seen you somewhere.
Stop-I have it'll Good Lord, Gary,
what have you done to yourself7'
"It's fifteen years ago, general" said
Gary, apologetically.
"Only fifteen Zounds You were
a handsome fellow then; I thought you
were genius. And your wife was
lovely"
"Don't mention the past-she's q
wreck--six children to care for; and
am-what you see. want you to do
something for me, before the black dog
degours me-"
Hombre, it's the drink that does
it."
"I want you to save me from the
drink, general"
SHow came IL Garv 90
1t was the war, poverty, sickness, long
struggles in adversity, long lassitude
and loss of spirits, chagrin, all that
turned in.
ST think I'm gone, general, but Mar
garet won't hear a word of it. She told
me to come to see you and ask you to
help me-"
"Where is the little woman, Mark2"
He nameda wretched tenement house
General Jack drummed on the table
with his fat fingers q moment. "Not in
want, hope, Cary7" said he, at last.
"Not quito, general; but the times
are hard; can't get away, and there's
no telling how long it will be before that
comes, too."

need.
