Rewarding Honesty.

A little girl whose mother keeps q
candy shop in Brooklyn, New York, was
passing the Brooklyn Atheneum one
most inclement day recently, and found
a wallet stuffed with bank bills. She
Immediately concluded it had been
dropped by some one attending the en-
tertainment then going on in the build
ing. Notwithstanding the cold, and
mayhap the temptation, she waited for
the crowd to come out in order to find
the owner. Among the first, two ladies
handsomely dressed came down the
staircase together, and as they passed
SO near the little girl us almost to over
turn her basket, she heard one of them
exclaim "How unfortunate there
were 5000 in my wallet p With flushed
face the little girl stopped her and said :
"I found the money. L have been
waiting to find the owner p While by
ISLANDERS looked ON, the lady serenely re-
marked "That will do. little girl I
am sorry I haven't a penny to give you,
and walked on.
As counterpart of this, with hui
morous complexion, story is told of
a young man in New York who found a
pocketbook containing q considerable
sum of money and advertised it. The
wallet was identified by some one living
a short distance out of the city, and the
young man dispatched it to the owner.
AS his fellow clerks in the office we're nc
quainted with the circumstances there
was an expectant group about the young
man few days later as he was opening
an express package coming from the
place where his correspondent lived.
The general expectation received most
comical shock as the torn wrappings re-
vealed paper box, and the box un-
covered displayed pound Or two of
common candy, which the grateful
owner of the wallet begged the honora-
BILE young man "to accept as a slight"
etc No allusion was made to refunding
the cost of advertising.
Completeness, however, goes in groups
of three SO, as setting for these two
jewels of generosity, we give the expert
ence of boy of fourteen years who is
in the employ of well known dry goods
house in Broadway, New York. One
day not long ago he found diamond
earring in box of ribbons he was in
structed to put in order, and immedi-
ately took it to the Office. As informa-
ton had already been received from a
prominent gentleman in Brooklyn that
his daughter had lost such valuable
jewel while shopping in the city, the boy
himself was dispatched with it to the
owner. The gentleman received him
very kindly, asked various questions
about his family, etc., drew a check for
one hundred dollars and sent him
back to his employers with note re-
questing them to cash it for him. The
gift was most opportune, as the family
have had hard time to keep the wolf
from the door.

then Mr. Blendon said:

A Runaway Belle.

A sad story was recently told at til
Minneapolis police station, and the
parties most interested are from Chicago.
A lady wearing mourning for daughter
who recently died at her home in Chi
cago, appeared at the police station and
asked the assistance of the authorities
in the endeavor to find young girl, her
daughter, who came to Minneapolis a
short time since. A description of the
young woman being obtained, the police
soon ascertained that she was employed
at the concert saloons in the capacity of
pianist and character vocalist, her great
est hit being in appearing on the stage
in the character of fast young man,
and dressed accordingly. Mother and
daughter were allowed to meet each
other in boarding house. The mother
explained to the daughter that she had
came from Chicago for the purpose of
informing her Ghe daughter) that sister
was dead, and she must come to attend
the funeral, which had been postponed
till their arrival. The daughter seemed
willing and an appropriate hat was
ordered from a millinery store. The
next morning the daughter requested
her mother to step over to the millinery
store and ascertain whether or no the
hat was finished. Mrs. Sanderson did as
requested, and upon her return learned
that Miss Anna Bell had fed to parts
unknown. Again she visited the police
headquarters and learned that her
daughter had gone to st. Paul and was
stopping at hotel in that city with a
railroad conductor. The girl is said to
be good looking and an accomplished
musician. In Chicago she officiated as
organist in a leading church. No pains
Or money had been spared in educating
the girl, and music was her special pride.
Being spoiled child, every whim had
to be gratifed. She wished to come to
New York for the purpose of seeing the
country, and it was told at home that
she would have to teach music to pro-
cure funds to meet all expenses She
was determined that her father should
not be out of pocket " by this freak.
She has been on the downward course
ever since leaving home, and it is feared
she has gone so far as to be past redemp
tion. The father has not yet learned of
the life his daughter has chosen.

A Snake i'm Her Stomach,

TheJackson'C CTennessee) San contained
a remarkable story about a lady and
snake in that city. According to the
particulars recited, the lady, who is fifty
seven years of age, had for twenty years
or more carried live snake in her
stomach. The reptile was always more
lively in its movements short time after
meals than at other times, causing to the
victim the most unpleasant sensation of
both mind and body-producing nausea,
heartburn and slight dist tension of the
stomach. These movements ceased
about three weeks ago, and. week
later. snake ten inches in length and as
large as a mans finger was discharged. |.

Frontier Journalism.

The Wilmington Every Evening says:
Not long ago our representative took
trip by rail westward, passing through
one Of the frontier Territories. Arriving
at one of the new towns, n place of few
hundred inhabitants, and learning that it
was live place and had a live daily
newspaper, he determined to lay over for
the next train and pay his respects to the
staff of the local luminary. On the
main street was little shanty, about
twelve by twenty, with door and win
dow in front. and over the door was the
sign: Daily Pioneer. Inside were
pair of printers cases, n desk, chair, i'm
posing stone and small hand press. A
! young man, who looked rs il he was
born and bred in supreme contempt Of
tailors, BARRIERS and victuals, was "sweep-
ing out" and looked up with one eye
when the visitor entered.
"Good morning; you're the devil, l
presume
"Preslme I am," and the devil went
over to a case and commenced to set type.
"You assume tho compositor's duties,
l observe"
81 observe I do; I'm the only COM
positor here;' and the visitor read the
late issue of the Pioneer while the COM
postor set stick of type, dumped it in
the form, and commenced to lock it up.
"Foreman absence this morning ?"
"No, sir; I'm the foreman.
"Well," thought the visitor, "the edi-
tor will be around shortly, / suppose; at
banquet last night, perhaps" )" and he
looked over the files of the Pioneer, while
the devil-compositor-f put the
form on the press and proceeded to run
off the edition.
"Pressman on drunk ?"
"No, sir; don't look drunk, do L? L
am the pressman of this establishment.
"See here, young fellow" said the
visitor, rising, and throwing aside the
Pioneer in the midst of n "full account
of the slaughter of a wagon load of immi-
grants near town by the Indians, 'Im
willing to admit that you perform all the
mechanical labor attached to this little
business; but will any of your reporters
be around this morning q
"Young man, report for this paper
myself; have you any information p
The interviewer by this time was thor
oughly "bull-dozed," and meekly ven
tured the remark: "Will the editor be
here to-day? eff SO, I Iwo11ld like to pay
my respects, MS I'm a newspaper man
from the East"
Newspaper man from the East y was
the reply. "I'm sole editor and proprie-
tor Of this concern; you're the first man
that has called to pay me anything; but
as it's only your respects won't take
time to transact business with you now,
as T am little late to-day and have my
large edition to serve to my subscribers.
In bidding you good morning, [ would
drop word of friendly admonition: The
next newspaper Office you enter in
the West, be sure you're not talking to
the head member of the firm before you
nccost him as the devil"
