Cheap Living in Glasgow.

Glasgow has long been famous for it's
penny dinners for the poor, which are no
doubt great boon to working classes and
other persons whose means are limited If,
however, statement made recently at the
Central Police Court of that city is to be
believed, dinner at some of the eating
houses in Glasgow is not oyer-cheap. even
at the charge of one penny. A girl em-
ployed at an eating house was charged with
creating disturbance at the establishment.
Her explanation of the affair was that she
had quarrelled with her employer because
he insisted on selling broth IN which rat
had been drowned, and which. in addition
to drowned rat, contained considerable
quantity of rotten cabbage. When she re-
monstrated against the sale OF this coucoc-
tion, he replied that il was good enough
for customers who could only afford to
spend q penny or q haIf-penny on IT, This
answer led to an alteration, which ended
in her demanding the balance of her wages.
He then handed her over TO the police, al
leging that she had created disturbance.
The magistrate found her guilty of the
charge and fined her ten shilIings six pence
with she alternative Of tee days' imprison-
ment.

German military writer, criticisiDg these
instructions, issued by two Of the moss tai
ented and distinguished of the Russian Gem
erals remarks that it must not be suppos-
ed, as it very naturally might be, that this
exhortation to, in fact, refrain from endeav-
oring to utilize to the utmost the power of
the weapon with which they are armed is
prompted by any fear that their men are
not sufficiently trained to be trusted to
fight in the comparative loose order neces-
sary for thetfull development of fire tactics;
but on the contrary, must rather be regard
ed as confession that the employment of
men in masses, regardless of the enormous
loss of life thereby entailed, is still believed
by the Russian leaders to be the only way
of utilizing the large forces under their
command. The saying of Swarrof that
s'the bullet is foolish, the bayopet alone is
WISE" is in fact still to be regarded as
characteristic of The Russian tactics; the
fact, so strikingly demonstrated in all mod
ern wars, thar it is not until the bullet has
done it's work and shattered the enemy that
the bayonet can be employed. being alto

A Confidence Trick.


On Sunday evening well-dressed young
man called in a West End Methodist church,
and asked one of the deacons if he knew
who had the collection money of the morn
ing service.
The deacon informed the young man
that the money contributed that morning
| to the service of the Lord was at his resi-
dence and he added the inquiry: "May
ask the reason of your question:"
Certainly" the courteous young man
answered 81 attended the min;stration of
the Gospel this morning at this church,
and, desiring to aid the cause, I dropped
my humble mite into the plate. | thought
it was silver piece of currency, but find
now that it was piece of Canadian money
which value highly as a pocket piece.'
The worthy deacon recollected that a
piece of Canadian money was found among
the coins, and he told the young man that
there would be no trouble in getting it.
But at present the whole collection of
money was at his house. However, when
he went home he would pick out the par
ticular coin and bring it down town to his
place of business the next morning. The
young man said that to save trouble he
would call at the deacon house on Monday
morning. This was agreed to, and the
deaeon's address was given to the stranger.
This wicked young man then went straight
to the deacon's house and made the bold
statement that he had been sent for the
mornings collections to take it back to
church, in order that Deacon -- might
pick out certain valued coin which an old
gentleman had inadvertently dropped in.
The ladies of the household believed the
young man, and had they known where
the money-bag was kept they would have
handed it to him in all confidence; hut
fortunately they did not know. The Dea-
cons partner in business, who lived iii the
house, was asked whether he knew where
it was kept He did, but he possessed too
much worldly wisdom to be taken in by the
young mans story and good-looking face.
He saw through the dodge in a minute,
and he on anything heavier than pair of
slippers there would have been painful
sensation in the young mans seat of honor.

A Big " Sell. "

The Oil City Derrick, Of Dec. Goth, has
the following:
Some time about the 25th of October last,
Dan Goettel, the most prominent broker
and speculator in the oil business together
with two or three other prominent dealers,
inaugurated ''Bull +" movement, I. e.,
they began buying oil and retiring it for the
purpose of advancing prices. The Stand
ard Oil Company, which is by great odds
the strongest power in the market, began
selling largely for the purpose of causing a
decline. Thus the two came in contact. A
decidedly interesting engagement was ex-
pected and the expectations were fully re-
allied. On Saturday the last act in the
play was enacted. Goettel, who had for
some days back led the trade to think he
was "short ~. g., had sold Oil which he
had bought-came upon the Exchange floor
and sold 10000 barrels, he having made
one sale to Harry Lewis, the Standards
resident representative, OF $4,000 barrels at
$2.02s. This was one of the largest trans
actions ever made in the Exchange The
time occupied in making it was less than
minute and the amount involved was $163,-
600.
They presented an interesting appearance
while making the trade, which was made
shortly after assembling for the afternoon
session. Goettel commenced selling imme-
diately after dinner at $s.064. Everybody
supposed he was "short," and remarked
freely upon his seeming fool-hardiness in
continuing to sell on an advancing market.
He, however, continued his offerings, ap-
parently doing all he could to "hammer -
the market down. He repeatedly offered
49, Is, 90, and $4,000 barrel lots. In this
manner he forced a decline to $2032. At
that price he sold "Jimmy" Lowe 5000
barrels, and turning to Lewis offered him
five.
"I'I take it," said Lewis.
"Ten ?" asked Goettel.
"Ten," replied Lewis.
Then followed Is, 90, 25, 30 and SO on up
to So 900 barrels. Both were somewhat
agitated. The blood rushed into GoettePs
face while Lewis was pale as corpse.
There was perceptibie trembling on the
hands extended by each.
The trade created considerable excite
ment in oil circles and during the balance
of the day was the general theme of con-
versation.

A NARROW RArLRoAD.-The narrowest
railroad in the werld is between North.
Blllerica and Bedford, Massachusetts,, q
distance Of eight and half milea The
track is two feet wide. The engine and
cars are propoltionate with the width Of
the track. The passenger cars have an
aisle in them, and seat on each. side, in
stead Of two seats, as in fall-groyn car.
There are thirty seats in each car. The
train runs twenty miles An hour. One
grade on the road is one hundred and fifty
feet per mile, The trains consist of two
passenger and two freight cars and an en-
CINE, The cars and engine have air-brakes
and all the modern improvements. Ordi-
nary cars weigh four times as much as
these little coaches. The cost Of the road
was $4,000 per mile, and the running ex-
penses are about one-fourth that Of the
ordinary trains.

A1EZ. Z. STEPHENS,
How He Looks and Acts in the House.

A little to the left of the main aisle of
the house, and just between the first row
of desks and the chair, is a little, withered
up, nervous old man. Mounted upon q
complicated pedestal built on wheels, plat
form and back he bobs his head or mods
1T in accord or discord with the gentleman
speaking. Rarely is his voice heard.
Whoever passes stops to shake hands with
him, and speak few words to him, not
that they all have anything special to say,
but the green members think it looks well
from the galleries to be seen in conversa-
tion with the Hon. Alex. Fl. Stephens of
Georgia. The old man is pitifully thin,
His face is livid and cada7erous. His head
is sunken between his shoulders His
chest is depressed, and his arms and low
er limbs are fearfully and wonderfully
thin. But weak and emaciated as he looks
his muscles are always in motion, and he
logs backwa and forward in3 his Vhsel
ella n, or saps the ae5r nsrvedsiy sith 5nsi
foot continually. Generally he wears his
hat, soft black felt, and his many infer
mites seem to excuse this apparent breach
of Congressional etiqutte, and in fact most
everything he does is referred to the eccen-
tricities of man broken down in health
and rapidly approaching dissolution. Yet,
this man, weak as he looks. and worn as
he is, manifests a miraculous vitality. He
is seldom absent from his post, is always on
the alert, watchful wary and ready. In
this he is in strange contrast with certain
coxcombs in both branches, who deem it
derogatory to their dignity to pay any at
tention to the proceedings, and affect pro-
found Indifference to all that goes on around
them. Stephens, on the contrary listens
attentively to the bill to pay John Smith,
of Smithville, $10.75 as measure regulat-
ing the currency of the country. He ap-
pears to think he was sent to Congress to
know what was going on there, even if he
does not participate, and it is painful 70
watch the rapt attention the little shriveled
up old man pays to the proceedings.
In conversation he is grave and severe.
He looks upon every question presented
to him as his natural enemy, and prepares
himself for its demolition. Courteous to
all men, he regards their opinion as excres-
cence and he the surgeon appointed of God
to remove them. The quickest way to
break up his judgment on measure is to
agree with him, for his instinct is one of
resistance and resentment. He will not
agree with anybody, nor will he allow any
body to agree with him, and whenever he
finds that one of his hobbies is popular,
he will discover technicalities in the argu-
ment supporting his theory, which show
that these arguments belong on diamet-
rically opposite side Of the question. 1t is
only when he comes down to Ben Hill he
relaxes. Talking Of Hill is his only recre-
alton. Mounting Hill, he goes off on sort
of horseback ride, kicking the mud and
dust in all directions. Not that he doesn't |
like him or that he fails to appreciate his
ability, but Hill as prophet, he looks |
upon with hilarious contempt Washington

The Sort Of Mistakes Telegraph Operators Some.
times Maks.

/ SaAA4SS 9A&nSt
Speaking of mistakes, or bulls,'' az the
are technically termed, that have been mad
from time to time in the transmission O
messages over the wires, Mr.. johnson, il
his new book on telegraphers and telegraph
ic matters, says:
lelegraphy, as at present practiced, il
simply the art of instantaneously conveying
70 distant places the first elements of writ
ten language. In transmitting the letters Of
the alphabet, either. visual or acoustic
means may be employed. Most Of the tel
egraphers in Europe appeal to the eye; il
America nearly all appeal to the ear. The
sending of messages from place is depend
ent upon mere transitory signals, which in
many cases are similar to each other, and il
is not, therefore, surprising that errors oe-
casionally occur.
Ii Anna Dickinson was once telegraphed to
~ lecture committee, inquiring the sub.
ject of her lecture. She replied that it
would be" Breakers Ahead" The CON-
mittee telegraphed back, ss All right; come
and lecture on Break His Head" which
was what the message read after being
improved by ye intelligent operator.
A "bull was also perpetuated last win
ter in connection with the title of lecture
by Hon. Senset Coz. OF New York. Mr..
Cox telegraphed Mr.. Balm, of Atlanta, that
his subject would be s'Irish Humor," but
when the message reached Mr.. Balm, it
read, "Just Human" When the lecturer
took his stand he said " The message was
only bnlIed, ladies and gentlemen, but
am sorry TO say it was certainly an Irish
bull"
On one occasion the message "Arrived
all right dispatched by some ladies, was
delivered +" Arrived all tight" In another
case husband who had gone to the seaside
to engage apartments telegraphed "All
right; come tomorrow" He was aston
lshed that his wife did not come to him,
but the mystery was explained when 1t was
discovered that GAN right; home to-mor-
row." had been the messags actually de-
liyered. A member of the Masonic frater-
nifty once telegraphed to friend to '.make
room for ten Royal Arch Masons, coming
to-day" and ON his arrival found a neat pen
erected in the yard, the message deliv-
cred asking for accommodations for ten
"rams.'' ...
A gentleman in California was mnch as
tonished to receive message informing
him that David goes this evening on a
spree" The dispatch originally read
" This evening on Osprey an Associa-
ted Press dispatch published some years ago
contained this clause '.Col. Gilbert,
fierce editor Of the Valparaiso Republican,"
AS filed it read "Col Gilbert A. Pierce,
editor" etc. A New York merchant was
once considerably puzzled over message
he received from correspondent South,
saying: "It don't rain mush here"
A grocer who had pursued runaway
clerk named Galusha, and found him with
the money, and repentant telegraphed to
his (the grooer's) anxious wife: "Found
GalHsha. Hope for better things" When
she got the missive it read: "Found girl;
shall elope and get her things. She start
ed for the scene of action by the first train.

ASHAMED OF Hrs PovERTY.-The Vir-
gaia (Nev.) Enterprise of the I'd inse. says:
..On Friday last man here in Virginia
City. SO years of ago, blew his brains out.
A day or two previous he remarked TO q
friend that he had sent money East that
his daughter had recently married gentle-
man there; that they were coming here 70
see him, and that be would rather die than
have his daughter come here and find him
poor. He was discharged few days since
from one Of tho mines; be had drank heavi-
ly for two or three days, and on Frida, bor-
rowed pistol from friend. and, bidding
him good bye. turned and blew his brains
out.
