The Man Who Found 100000 in the
Street.

The following story is from the Cold
en- Rule Pilot, a little paper published
on the steamer Golden Rule:
There is a curious case soon to be
brought against the Adams Express
Company. The following will give
some idea of the foundation for the suit:
In the year 1864, l. A. Atkins, residing
in Cincinnati, on Third Street, between
Sycamore and Main, on going home
one night about 9 o'clock, saw lying in
the middle of the street, at the corner OF
Third and Sycamore, small linen-coy-
cred valise. On picking it up he found
it required all his strength to carry it:
Having taken it to his room and opened
it, he found it was almost filled with
gold, silver, and bonds. 81 was so
worried" said Mr.. Atkins, "Over hav-
ing such a large amount of money in
my possession that / could not sleep.
On counting it in the morning | found
it amounted to little over 100000.
Not wishing to retain what did not be-
long to me, began to think OF some way
by which | might return it to its owner.
| knew that if | made it known that |
had found such large amount of mon
ey there would be large number OF
claimants, and might be deceived into
giving it up TO the wrong person. So |
just advertised in one of the papers that
[ had found valise, which the owner
could have by proving property.
Strange to say, no one answered the adj
vertisement until the eighth day after
ward, when two men from the Adams
Express Company's office called and
claimed it. made them describe the
valise, and also give list of its contents.
There being still some doubts in my
mind as to whether it would be right to
give it up to them, | refused, when they
gave me its whole history. 1t had
been brought to America by an English
man named &c. Barker, who came here
to speculate, and is now residing some
where in Georgia. At New York, think
ing it too much money to carry, he gave
it into the hands of the Express Com
pany, and on leaving New Orleans by
boat for Cincinnati did the same thing.

of her comrades, who several times had
tried to play ugly tricks upon her, must
have put the needles into sweets, when
she was particularly fond Of. This eX-
PLANTATION seems difficult to admit. Even
up to the present day needles from time
to time make their appearance through
the body of the young lady.
Similar cases might be multiplied. 1t
is sufficient for us to have shown that
the exit of needles and pins through the
skin is positive fact. The preceding
details 90 to show beyond a doubt that
pins can often be swallowed without any
serious consequences, and that there Is
no need for serious alarm when one has
accidentally been swallowed. At the
same time, the above cases have also
shown that it is prudent to abstain from
pins and needles as articles OF tood.-

Fight With a Bull

Late last fall Mr.. Lardin, a man OF
wealth and ar admirer of blOoded stock,
imported from England a splendid 2
vear-old short-hOrned Durham bull at
cost of 81, $3.50; also two Durham helt-
ers at a cost of $3.50 each. "El Toro"
was considered not only by its owner,
but by all who saw him, as one OF the
most perfect specimens of his species
ever brought to this country. He was
tractable and soon became almost a pet
with his ismaster, who keptthe Z, ,3OO-pound
monster housed but not tied. Three
weeks ago Mr.. Lardin, who weighs over
200 pounds, went into the stable for the
purpose of putting rope through an
iron ring in the bulls nose and tying
him up. Placing his hand on the ami
malls horn, Mr. Lardin was about to
reach down to seize the ring, when the
bull suddenly threw up his head, strik-
ing Mr.. Lardin just over the left eye
with the horn and knocking him down.
Turning with all the quickneSs of rat
terrier, the infuriated brute sprang upon
the PROSTATE man and attempted to
core and crush him to death. Luckily
MIR. Lardin fell close to the wall OF the
stable, so that the animal was unable to
carry out his purpose by reason OF his
horns striking the side of the building.
The animal then attempted to
crush hi. victim by kneeling
upon him, but again the side of the sta
bic prevented. This failure seemed to
madden him still further, and he threw
his whole tremendous weight against
the side of the building in desperate
attempt to once more use his horns.
Fortunately the boards stood the test,
but one of his horns struck Mr.. Lardin
on the left shoulder, and passing over
his chest until reaching the
breastbone, where but for the shelter
afforded by the wall death-wound
must have been inflicted. Lying as still
as he could, while the bull was butting
with all his might, Mr.. Lardin kept feel
ing cautiously for the ring in the ami
malls nose, when a sudden movement
brought it within reach, and it was in
stantly seized by the desperate man.
With quick wrench and death grip
the bull found himself instantly shorn
of strength. With both wrists almost
broken, both thumbs nearly dislocated,
his body crushed and bleeding, and
nearly stripped of clothing, Mr.. Lardin
staggered to his feet and led the bull
out of the stable, across a lot to an
eight-rail fence. Here he pulled the
brute's nose up after him as he climbed
until he was ready to drop on the other
side, when he let 60 and ran as fast as
his legs could carry him.-OI City (P'0

How Popular Songs are Written.

Dexter Smith had written a number
f clever verses which he carried to his
publisher. That gentleman, after
slancing them over, handed them back,
With the following doubtful criticism:
"TheSe are very good, Mr.. Smith-toO
good, in fact. Yes, they are too good
or me. Use them in the AtLantic, or
some such place. What | want just
low is something after this pattern :"
And he read to the aStoniShed writer
some selections from some of the popu-
lar ballads. Smith was disgusted. at
surely can't be possible" " said he, that
the public wants such miserable stuff as
5hls.n "It is not only possible, but
true " "Then don't wonder that mine
is too good for your use. Good day."
And the young composer half angrily
strobe out of the office, rejecting upon
the degeneracy of the pubic mind. He
was going along one of the narrow Bos-
ton streets, absorbed in his thoughts,
when he heard a dirty little urchin yell
to his mother, "Sa-ay, nam! Put me
in my little bed!" There was his sub
ject! And, going home, filled with a
determination to write the most unutter
able mess of dreariness he could think
of, he composed the song which has
since made him famous, His little joke
was well received, and its reputation
spread until the sales reached an enOr-
nous figure. In this connection, let
me give you the number of copies sold
of few of the best publications of this
kind: "Put me in my little bed," by
Dexter Smith, 100000; "Mollie Oar
ling" by Will S. Hays, 10000; "Sil-
yer threads among the gold," by Danks
(who is very pOpular), 10000; "Come
home, father" 10000; "Evangeline, "
25,OO0; " Tramp, tramp, tramp" 1OO,-
600; "Norah O'Neil," 100000;
" Sweet Genevieve," 10000. Many of
these still sell steadily, and will doubt
less continue to do SO for number of
years. Songs written to suit the times
reach immense sales, and, as
in book publications, those which ap-
pear the weakest are not infrequently
the most successful.

Sitting-BulPs New Programme.

The Chicago Tribune publishes an ac-
count of an interview at Bismarck with
Father Genin, the Sioux Missionary, from
which the following facts are obtained: :
Sitting-Bull and his WARRIORS and nu-
merous other Indians over whom he
has control, are discontented with their
present situation in the British Domin.
ions, first, because they are not well
treated, and, second, because of the
scarcity of buffalo and other game upon
which they subsist. 1t was on this ac-
count they raided down into the Milk
River country last winter, at which time
they came down almost to Fort Peck.
Sitting Bull looks forward to the time
when he must move south of the British
line or starve. He expects to have
trouble with the British forces, and to
overpower them, and then is determined
to 90 south to the buffalo country and
to stay there until our own forces meet
and demand a surrender or fight. In
of this change, he has call
ct council of all the Indians on the
Canadian side, composed Of Sioux,
Fiegaus, Assiliboines, Crees, Big Bears,
and Chippewas, numbering {, ,469 lodges,
or about $4,000 warriors, Of whom
I, GOO are hostiles, to meet on the Little
Saskatchewan River about 100 miles
from its mouth. Their immediate oh,
ject is to demand food, and if it is no,
forthcoming they will attack Maj
Walsh and his mounted police, and,
after having overcome them, will then
move to the south, where they must Of
necessity encounter our own forces
sooner or later. In his interviews with
Father Genin, Sitting-Bull stated his
wants very explicitly. He desired to re-
turn to his own country, and would not
fight unless he were compelled He
cared nothing for the mineral wealth Of
the country, but would be willing to
stay north of the Missouri and roam
about the Milk River country, which in.
cludeS long, narrow strip, adjacent to
the British frontier in Northern Dakota
and Montana, and is full of buffalo and
other game. He was also willing to re.
turn in person to the United States and
hold a conference with the proper AN.
thorities at Chicago or Washington if
guarantees were given him that he would
not be hanged or placed in any personal
danger.
