A Burglars Ruse.

Tim Brady, alias Oscar D. Peterson, re-
 gently captured In New York. after a long
 chase and desperate resistance, has been
 known to the police as shreWd. daring
 and successful burglar for 8 number of
 years. He was brought up in New York
 city. and was probably born there, and IS
 about thirty five years of age. The man
 ner in which he spent his youth is un- known. but his acquaintance and standing
 among the professionals" seem to indicate an early start ln rascality. In all his ope- rations Brady has been elebrated for cool ness. impudenee and success. The robbery of 8 Philadelphia bank about seven years ago furnishes good illustration. The bank was about to close for the day, when Brady, in 8 pohceman's uniform, entered the office and told the cashier that the pc ice-sergeant of that precinct had ordered him to step in and say that suspicious looking men had been seen hanging around the bank, and 1t was deemed necessary to send assistance to the night watchmen who regularly guarded the banks vaults, This was reported to the watchmen, and they were not surprised when four men in uniform came to the door just as darkness was setting in. and said they had come to help in guarding the bank. Suddenly Brady uttered an exclamation, and pointed up the street. Whats the matterp asked one of the watchmen. 1.-TWO men just slunk around the corner" whispered Bra dy; '1et us follow them." Brady and the watchman stole out of the building and spent quarter of an hour prowling about the corner. When they returned to the darkness of the bank building, the watch man was suddenly knocked down, gagged aLd bound, as his companion had been. while he was at the corner with Brady. The robbers then proceeded in the most leisurely manner-having 8 whole night before them-to rife the safes, which they easily forced open, and they departed with out molestation in the morning. Brady was credited with the success of this crime, and the watchmen to whom the DO. lice gave private view of the burglar thought they recognized him. but dared not swear to his identity. Hence he es- caped, though evidence has since been found which could convict him.

Gypsy Burial and Baptism.

A resident number of the Boston Herald says: Six families of gypsies are encamp- ed near Yalesville, Conn. They are under the leadership of two men named Allen and Broadway, have good character for honesty from the neighbors, and appear to be 8 superlor kind of tribe. One of their infants died last week, and MT. Church, local undertaken, was secured to make ar rangement for the funeral. Wednesday evening saw 8 company of the gypsles gathered around an open tent. in which lay the little coffin with candle at each end. Thursday noon they came in proces' sion, with four or five wagons, to the West Meriden cemetery. Rev. E w. Hartman read service at the grave and made an ad dress. The parents exhibited all the natu- ral signs of grief and affection, but without any extravagant demonstrations. Finding that many of the tribe were accustomed to attend the Church of England (more or lessl when at home in the "old country and several of the women expressing wish to have their children baptized, MT. Hartman visited their camp Friday after noon and held service, which was cer- tainly novel sight to all who witnessed it. On little knoll. retired from the tents and shaded by an oak tree. was placed 8 wagon seat, covered with white and bear ing beautiful china bowl filled with wa ter. Around this improvised table stood the gypsies and number of visitors, mak- ing company of about fifty persons. Mir Hartman baptized seven children, one of them only five days old, and addressed the elders on the practical duties and resDonsi- bilities of parents. The gyps1es were rev. srent and attentive, and expressed much gratitude for the interest taken ID them and their children. Within the week the gypsy camp has been the scene of birth and death

The Ministers Cow.

Rev. James Beecher, brother of the Brooklyn divine, gave up $2,5OO pastor ship in Poughkeepsie, N. Y, 8 few years ago, and retired to an isolated region of Ulster county, where he has been living since with h1s wife. almost entirely sepa- rated from the world. He breaches on Sundays during the summer at one of two small schoolhouses near his home, and a correspondent who heard hlm recently says: In the course of his sermon, if the essay, matter-of-fact talk that be delivered can be called a sermon, he told the good people present of some of his troubles and caused an immense deal of amusement by relating hls difficulties with COW. The COW IS his own and he finds her useful in many ways, but as he has no pasture, she has to board around in the woods. She wanders about all day and he has to hunt her up in the evening, and thls is where the difficulties come in. The COW is per- petual traveller and she invariably makes 1t polnt to get as far away from the house as she can-the further the better, so that he may have the moro trouble i'll finding her. She looks on brush fence as some' thing that was made expressly for her to go through, and if there is one anywhere around she is bound to find it and get on the other side immediately. If it was pos sible to penetrate solid stone wall, that COW would be through it ten times day. She has variety of accomplishments, and one of them aggravates MT. Beecher 8 good deal. If she gets glimpse of hten hanting around for her, where she thinks he can't see her, she stands stock still and looks at him. She'll stand there," said MT. Beecher, ''and look, and look, and look, hoping all the time that don't see her, and all the flies on the Beaverkill couldn't make her swing her tail, lest the motion should make her ring the bell on her neck" When at last he gets up to her and shoos her toward home, of she goes as gentle as lamb, and then he wonders why she couldn't do that just as well without bringing h1m away out there after her and then play hide and seek through the woods.

GOING WEST.

We'll, here we are, my dear old wife, On board the train once more; We're going West to see our boys, Where we never were before. We have watched Niagara's foaming flood; We have stood on bridge and tower; We were thinking of the power of God As we passed from shore to shore. We I've roamed by the salt sea strand; We we seen the wild waves rolling; We I've gathered pebbles from the briny sand, Like the children we were, while s;rolling. But we Ire going to see the prairies, grand, With untold flowers blooming, Where years long past fierce savage bands And Indian tribes were roaming.
  When we were young we numbered twain, But years brought numbers more, And now we re back to twain again, Tho once were HALF A SCORE But soon we hope to see our home And have general rally, With all the bairns that we 've left In the Kousasonic Valley. z.

MYSTERIES.

BY MAURICE WERNER. There are mysteries all around us, In the air we breathe each day, There are mysteries that confound us In our earth's enshrined clay. There are mysteries of the ocean, In its waters we explore, And the heavens rouse emotion, As its mysteries we adore. There are mysteries in all Nature Which we ponder but in vain, Of the present, past and future, Which no tongue can e'er explain; But the mystery, highest. deepest, With the greatest secret rife, Is that deep, mysterious mystery, We call common daily life.

PETE.
 Tour distinguished friend Pete is entitled to our gratitude for his kind offer to give us 0 cereus plant. His generous and unselfsh heart is constantly urging him to similar acts, and we shall, we hope, in due time be the joyful recipient of his proffered ex- otic, but we cannot refrain from correcting the impression he manifestly has, that Mrs. Taft's night-blooming cereus is the same species of plant he alludes to as blooming in the morning at his fine residence in Lee His is nothing more than 8 morning bloom ing cereus, and as he truthfully says, is of no more trouble to raise than cabbage in fact we do not believe it is as much so, for we can take his plant by the top and raise it, which cannot be done to 8 full blown cabbage. Mrs. Taft's is no such cereus at all. Hers blooms only in the night time, and is so delicate, 30 refined and so senei- tive in its nature and character, so entirely like the Editor of the CONNECTICUT WEST ERN DAILY NEWS, that to associate it with that unsavory pot herbage, a cabbage, is piece of injustice the poor plant would wither under at once. CereuslY, Friend '' Pete," are you not rather inclined to the belief that your cereus is Tt much of a ce- reus in comparison with this Ashley Falls cereus ?"-ED. NEws.

 represent. The Holley Co. is to be congratu-
 lated on its success in manufacturing such
 superior article of cutlery. Their case on
 exhibition contains about two hundred and
 twenty different patterns and styles of
 pocket knite, and though this case was not
 as large and elaborate as some on exhibi-
 tion there, it is thought there was certainly
 no larger assortment of knives that are
 manufactured for useful purposes. Some
 cases of course contained great number
 of knives with forty or fifty blades in them, all of which were nice to look at, but good for nothing, and did not represent the ac- tual business of the establishments exhibit ing them. The Holley Go. sent for the world to look at, samples of it's every day work, and it's exhibit was one of true merit, and it now has it's reward.
