II WASN'T HIS .STOVE.

A colored man turned auctioneer to
work off two old stoves for a dealer on
Gratiot avenue. One was sold without
trouble, but, as the other "held over" on
him, he mounted barrel and began:
"Gen'lem and women, dis yere stove
was once de property of George Wash
ington."
a laughter of derision greeted his state
ment. Singing out the biggest man in
the crowd, the auctioneer asked:
"Doan' you believe that George Wash
ington once owned dis yere stove"
mo, sir"
"Dat's de same as calm me liah,
sab, and you'll hev to chew dem words,
sah."
He jumped dowo and waltzed over to
the stranger, but was knocked down in a
York minute. That was plenty for him,
and, after feeling of his head to see how
much of it was left, he mounted the bar
rel and called out
"HoW much do l hear for dis stove
once de property of Central Grant, De
stove dat Washington owned was busted
up doorin' de war'"-Detr0h Free Press.

was then taken before their superior,
Lieutenant Monaldi. This Monaldi was
a fugitive from Venetian justice, like
Buscoli, and he recognized the latter as
soon as he was brought before him.
Monaldi said nothing about Buscoli's
troubles, but the Chevalier saw at once
that the Lieutenant knew all about the
offer Of reward, and that he was cogitat-
ing how he himself might earn it.
In this dire distress Buscoli told the
two Sergeants who he was, and that he
suspected treachery on the part of their
Lieutenant.
To his good fortune he found them to
be two good honest fellows. They
promised him their protection, and told
him that if Lieutenant Monaldi should
attempt such thing and fail 1t would be
certain death for him, as the Duke OF
Modena twas at swords points with the
Venetian Government. .
An hour afterWard Monaldi ordered
BusColi to accompany him in a closed
carriage to Modena.
BUscoLI REFUSED
To 90 unless the two Sergeants should
accompany him, Monaldi turned livid
with rage.
"Dog p be cried, chow dare you DISC
hey me :"
because you want to betray me to
the Venetians," replied Buscoli def
antly.
Monaldi drew his sword, but Buscoli
wrenched it from his hand, and broke
it to pieces. Then one Of the Sergeants
said:
Lieutenant, we believe you are trai-
tor to our Duke, and we will take you to
His Highness himself"
Twenty-four hours afterward they ap'
peared before the Duke, Ferdinand d. Este
who ordered Monaldi to be searched.
In his pocket was found letter to the
Senate of Venice, in which he offered to
deliver BusColi up to the Republic for
free pardon and the aforementioned
reward.
He was placed at once before drum
head Court-martial, and shot the same
evening.
The Duke employed Buscoli as his di'
plomatic agent at various courts. The
Cheyalier settled afterward in Paris, and
there became one Of the earliest victims
of the reign of terror.

A Young Lady Orators Triumph.

A young lady student of Shurtleff col
lege at Alton, ILL.,, named Emma Bulk
ley, recently carried off the medal offered
as prize in the State intercollegiate
oratorical contest at Lebanon, against
the combined opposition of Knox, Mon
mouth, Champaign, Illinois, Blooming
ton and McKendree colleges. When
she returned home grand parade was
arranged in her honor, the procession
being headed by Miss Bulkley, in an
open carriage, followed by the Bluff
City band, wagon containing bevy of
young ladies, and about 200 students
bearing torches, banners and flags. The
townspeople honorea the procession
with showers of flowers, and after the
band had serenaded the young lady's
parents, the company marched to the
houses of the president and professors,
where speeches were made. The town
was brilliantly illuminated in honor of
the occasion.

A novel and striking feature in con-
nection with the Chinese minister's
entertainment in London was the new
departure taken by his excellency from
the established custom OF his country, in
allowing his wife to be present to do the
honors as hostess. What will his fellow
countrymen in China say to such a
concession to the foreigner, such q
deviation from the social system? The
higher classes of Chinese, like true
Orientals, keep their women strictly
secluded from thevulgar gaze. Woman's s
position in China is not an enviable one
She is looked down upon as an inferior,
is seldom educated, and is regarded
more in the light of an appanage thar
as helpmeet, counselor and friend.
Even as early as her entrance upon life
she receives chilling welcome Chinese
parents invariably desire sons, no mat
ter how many children they may have.

Remarkable Bank RObberies.

In 1870 man dressed in the uniform
of police officer went into the Kensing-
ton bank of Philadelphia and said to
the cashier: 81 am Lieut.. - of -
precinct. There's plan on foot to rob
your bank tonight. want you to have
your watchmen here and will have my
men to assist. Do not say a word, and
by tomorrow the game will be bagged."
The cashier extended his hand and
thanked the officer, and left all in his
charge. The night came, and the lieu
tenant, with his men, were admitted to
the bank. There was parley, and
three of the officers and one watchman
of the bank were detailed to take walk
to shadow some of the men outside.
The watchman was sent back after a
certain time had elapsed, and when he
returned he founG his partner hand
cuffed and tied, the vaults open, and
$500, 900 in negotiable paper and money
gone. When the cashier came around
he found out that there had been rob-
berry, and then he suddenly remembered
that he didn't know the lieutenant-
didn't even know his name. The Kens-
ington bank never recovered dollar.
In 1872 three men went to the owner
of the Third National bank in Baltimore
and hired a room adjoining the bank.
Gentlemen" inquired one of the bank
officers, "what are you going to do with
it?" "We are spectators now," they
said, "and if we succeed in our business
we think of opening bank" The
papers were made ont, the rent paid,
and business commenced. In two weeks
they did open a bank-the Third Ma
tional bank, next door-by burrowing
under the vault. They left the country
with S400, 600, not dollar of which
came back.
The vault of the Ocean bank of New
York was opened by one man-Maxi-
milan Shinburn, and robbed of $780,
600. He frequented the bank until his
acute ears learned by the peculiar click
of the combination precisely how to
work it. And he made it, after listen
ing for months. the very first time. He
fled to Belgium, where he purchased a
title, and is now living there as one of
the nobility.
About eight years ago four men hired
room under the Boylston bank of Bos-
ton, opened business as the trio did in
Baltimore, and dug up into the vault at
their leisure. The amount with which
they dug out was S850,000.
The Beneficial savings fund of Phila.
delphia was robbed of 81, 100000 a few
years ago, by forcing the cashier to give
the combination. Every dollar of the
amount was recovered by negotiation,
and the cracksmen retired on COM
potency.

Advertising for a Husband.

A New York paper facetiously OBJ
serves Advertising for husbands and
wives we had supposed to be confined to
the Western nations but it seems that
they understand the peculiar art also in
the East. A young woman in Goa,
maritime city of India, has adopted
novel method of securing a matrimonial
partner. She has posted in the muni-
cipal chamber an announcement that
young lady of eighteen, of good position
and comely appearance, having an an
nual income of !, 500 xeratims, wishes to
wed a man, who understands English
and Portuguese (she herself is of Portu-
guese descent), and the naetrical system
of accounts. and has an income of ZOO
xerafIns. She adds that on given day,
at noou, she will walk through the prin-
cipal streets with green umbrella in
her right hand and green handkerchief
in her left, after which she will, at GER
tain place, receive proposals from suitors
in person, and select him she likes best.
The latest advices from Goa are earlier
than the date of her proposed prone.
made, and we await intelligence as to the
result thereof with burning expectation.
We are confident that young woman
with so much enterprise, energy and
audacity will have number of suitors.
who must be attracted, if not by her
looks and carriage, at least by her green
umbrella and green handkerchief. 1t
is pleasant to observe that she is SO
particular about the metrical system,
full knowledge of which is indispensa-
BILE to a well-regulated husband. Men
unacquainted with the system often
make wretched husbands but man
who has the the metrical system at his
finger-ends never fails in the fullest per-
formance of his connubial duty.

Influence Of Food.

An excellent hint is given in the fol-
lowing item: DR.. Hall relates the case
OF man who was cured of his bilious
ness by going without his supper and
drinking freely of lemonade. The next
morning this patient arose with won
derful sense of rest and refreshment, and
feeling as though the blood had been
literally washed, cleansed and cooled by
the lemonade and fast. His theory is
that food can be used as remedy for
many diseases successfully. AS an ex-
ample, he cures splitting OF blood by use
Of salt ; epilepsy, by watermelons kid
ney affections, by celery; poison, by
olive or sweet oil erysipelas, by pound
ed cranberries applied to the part affect
ed hydrophobia, by onions, etc. So
the way to keep in good health is really
to know what 10 eat and to know what
medicines to take.

TMarriage by CAPTURE"

Among the Turkomans of Central
Asia, who may fifty be styled the Co.
manches of the East, the ancient and
much-discussed usage of marriage by
capture "takes the form of a very singu.
lar game, which is universally popular
with the tribes of the lower Oxus. 1t
is known by the curious appellation OF
kok-buri "(green wolff, name which
has never been satisfactorily accounted
for. The mode of playing is as follows /:
When Turkoman belle finds herself
embarrassed by crowd of rival suitors,
her father settles the matter by assem-
bling them all in convenient place on
the open steppe. He then brings out
his daughter, arrayed in the pomp of
Turkoman "full Dress" and setting her
upon swift horse, places in her hand
the carcass of lamb or kid, we'll creased
from head to tail, with which she in
stantly gaJlops away. The young gen.
tlemen follow her at full speed, and en-
deavor to snatch the prize from her
hands, any one who can succeed in
doing SO being thereby entitled to con-
slider himself "the happy man," 1t
sometimes happens, of course, that
when the cavalier who is the object of
the young lady's secret preference comes
within arms length, she will hold the
kid in such way that he can easily
wrest it from her but should less
favored suitor overtake her, she grasps
it with all her strength, and the ill.
starred lover gets nothing but good
roll in the sand for his pains. When
all is over, the father regales the whole
company with sumptuous feast OF rice
and mutton-suet, for which he after
ward "sends in the bill " to his future
son-in-law, who is often anything but
iattered by this expensive compliment
