his head and replied: II am not very

with confidence, and he then said, after
giving his name and address: 4 want

There will be charge of So; here is the
money to pay it, and half dollar which
you will keep for doing the Grand" On
his return to the hotel. the bishops friends
laughed at him for his credulity, telling
him that he would never see the boy OF
the bundle or the money again, but in
half an hour the young chap returned,
bringing the bundle and receipted bill
for $3.50, the bishop having made slight
mistake as to the amount that was due

DEATH RATES IN VARIOUS OCcUPk

Nobody doubts that the occupation
of an individual has much to do with
his general health, and with his chan
ces Of death. Statistics state that
death rate is lowest among scientists
and professional men-not physicians;
then follow Protestant clergymen.
engineers, farmers and laborers; next
carpenters. machinists, and workers
in iron; then come schOolmasters, to-
bacconists, physicians, and finally the
clergy of the Roman Catholic church
among whom the mortality is much
greater than among the Protestant
clergy and the other professions
named. Next we have druggists and
butchers, then miners and glass man
ufacturers, plumbers and copper
smiths, railway employees and dock
laborers- and last of all carmen, cab
men, horse-keepers, and inn-keepers
among whom the mortality is greatest
and much more than double that o.

BUYING AND SELLING STOCK.
A Case in Court Involving Some
Important Points Of Law.

In Judge Thayer's court on Mon
day the suit Of John j. Thomas
AGAINST Lewis VAIN Smith, execu-
! tor of John B. Dixon, deceased, was
tried. 1t involved some important
points Of the law governing stock
dealing. Thomas alleged that in
June, 1874, Dixon ordered him to
sell five hundred shares of Pennsyl-
vania Railroad stock "short," which
he cid, without any margin being
put up. The stock began to rise
and in October following Dixon
ordered him to deliver the stock and
close the transaction. A loss OF
So, 1879 Thomas swore resulted to him
from a compliance with the order
the difference between what 1t was
sold for and subsequently purchased,
including 81 $50, being the amount
of dividend upon the stock in the
meantime. To recover these sums
the suit was brought. The defend
ant rested his case upon two grounds.
The deposition of Mr.. Dixon, taken
prior to his death, was read, in which
he denied ever having ordered MIR.
Thomas to sell or purchase the stock.
The other ground on which the de-
PENDANT relied was that even II the
contract had been made as contend
cd it was a mere wagering one
no stock having been actually sold
or boueht--and therefore an illegal
one. To rebut this contention coun-
sci for the plaintiff presented the
point that even il the contract was
a wager on the price of stocks, II
Thomas had acted as Dixon's agen
in the transaction and had in good
faith paid money out or his pocket
on his prinipaIs account, he was en-
titled to reimbursement. Judge
Thayer, in charging the jury, said
that the question whether there was
a contract between Thomas and Dix
on was one Of fact, to be determined
by them. If they found there was
a contract, then, if no stock or prop
erty was to be actually handled, the
transaction was wager and could
not be enforced; however, If 1t was
intended that the stock should be
actually purchased and delivered the
bargain was legal one and the
plaintiff should recover. II know
of no statute or rule of law" contin-
ued the Judge on the other point,
switch prevents an agent recovering
money from his principal actually
paid on his account, even in wager
ing transaction" Under this charge
the jury were out about half an hour
and returned with a verdict for the
plaintiff of $3,93s SO, the full amount
Of his claim with interest.-Phila-
delphia Times.
