new, and the mills were being built up and
there was greater demand for rags and a
better price paid. Several OF these men
who drive daily through our alleys solicit
ing rags are large tax payers, and several
who now own large warehouses and are
doing an extensive business started with a
sack. John Mccall, the pioneer rag man of
this city, was driving a peddler's wagon
forty years ago, but is now one of the
largest dealers in the West, and has prcba-
bly, the most extensive experience OF any
in his peculiar profession.
Anton Zimmerman, who began the busi-
ness with nothing except strong constitu-
ton and extraordinary habits of economy
and perseverance, has now an income of
several thousand dollars year. arising from
his rented property alone. Sudendorf is
said to have made $40, 900 in ten years from
the time he started through the alleys OF
Cincinnati with q rickety old wagon.
Fuchs, who has u warehouse on the canal,
and Fadig, of Race street, arc both wealthy
men; and others might lie named who
started with nothing, but now have fine
fortunes. But when we look at the other
extreme the picture is not so imposing and
the inducements for engaging in the bust
ness not so great. The superannuated
women, the ancient men and the class Of
children technically called gutter snipes,"
who go about ransacking the ash barrels,
old troughs, alleys, cutters and kitchen
yards, or else are foraging amid the foulest
portions of the dumps for bones, old meta,
filthy rags and soled paper, washing and
eating bits of bread and meat, cleansing
the old garments which they appropriate to
their own Use, and having only enough
money at night to pay for a loaf of bread
and lodging, excite onr sympathy if we
notice them at all and give us a bad notion
of the business with which they are con
nected.
In visiting the different warehouses sew
eral curious incidents were related to u.s.
of how the sorters had found valuable arti-
cles and large sums of money in the peck
cts OF the clothing which they were tearing
up. The valuables thus found, according to
a decision in one of our State courts, be-
longs to the finder, if an owner does not
appear, and can not be taken from them by
their employer When scrip was carried
more than it is now, small amounts Of
money were frequently found and was a
source of considerable income to the sort
ers. As general rule they will not make
known what they find lest it be taken from
them, but occasionally a big haul is re-
ported, which makes the finder really envi
able. Cora Thomas, who has been sorting
for John Mccall since the death of her
father, who was killed in the Fire Depart
ment, while tearing up some pasteboard
cases. found new gold watch valued at $75
and about the same time another girl at
work in the same room found twenty
dollar gold piece in the lining of an old
vest pocket.

A Colorado paper tells this story: The
wife of certain well-known rancher liv-
ing near this place has got the true grit.
Her husband was away on business a
whole week recently, and one day while
he was absent the pump gave out. The
nearest neighbor lived long distance, SO
she hoisted up the pipe herself, and
found that the trouble lay in the suction
leather, which was too much worn to
work properly. Away she went to cut
new one, using the old one as a pattern.
On returning she found that large hog
had fallen in the open well. Nothing
daunted, she got strong rope, made q
slip-noose, fished it around the squcaling
porker, and then, lifting as hard as she
could, made the end fast to the curb,
thus raising the animal partially out of
the water, and preventing it from drown
ing. She then harnessed horse, hitched
him to the rope, and in less time than it
takes to tell it, that hog, all dripping
with freshness, arose from the well, but
before the rescue of the parent animal
two of her ofsprings crowding too close
to the curb, probably to sympathize with
their mothers distress, lost their balance,
and were now foundering around in the
water at the bottom. Instantly the hog
was recovered, our heroine set about the
recovery of the pigs. She procured q
ladder, which, however, though long
enough to reach the water, was not long
enough to reach the bottom of the we'll
Necessity is the mother Of invention, and
procuring fence rail she thrust it
through the top round, resting both ends
on the curb. Then climbing down the
hanging ladder she rescued the two pigs,
bringing both safely to the surface. This
done she quietly completed the job by
putting in the new suction leather, low
ering the pipe into the well, closiug the
curb and = umping water for the week
washing.

A Partner for Life.

What is the aim of nine out of ten of the
young ladies who have suitors visiting
them? Do they have any? Certainly
most of them do, only to forget it. A little
presence of mind on these occasions would
save future unhappness. The young gen.
tlcmen, in many instances, is agreeable, gay
and handsome; and this dazzles the eyes so
utterly, that the young lady refuses to look
farther. She should satisfy herself on such
points as these evil those eyes, in which
Cupid now dances so merrily, always find
expression from the love of a true soul?
Now he says many pleasant things, and
draws pretty pictures for the future. Does
he 90 tomorrow to work which gives pro-
mise of the fulflment Of your desires in life :?
Do his ambitions and achievements satisfy
you? Does his everyday life shine with
the noble endcayors of trustworthy man
IF you think and desire a companion in your
thinking--one who would unlock the deep
est depths of your mind-to what strata Of
humanity docs he belong in the scale of ex-
ccllence and morality? Is he doing all he
can to build up future usefulness and hap
piness, in which you can share and feel
blessed? n
These are questions which the experience
of after years make many women weep in
bitterness of soul, that they had not thought
Of before they answered "Yes." We should
look out for to-day's regulations and to-
morrow's successes. The witticisms and

Attempted Assassination.

The following account is given of the re-
cent attempt to assasSinate Senor Ply Mar
gall; "Senor Pi was quietly breaktasting
with his wife, when man presented him
self, stating to the servant that he wished to
see his Excellency Without waiting for
permission, he followed the servant into the
breakllst-room, and as quick As lightning
drew a revolver from his pocket, and with
the words 'Yo acabo vuested de yiyir =
CHOW you cease to Iiye?) pointed it straight
at the astonished philosopher. Whose habi-
TUT coolness, however, did not forsake him,
for he uttered the exclamation 'Esta vuested
loco| Care you mad?'), to which the
would-be assassin merely replied, Ave
Marie = and instantly fired. The ball lods-
ed in the opposite wall, and the intended
victim, finding himself unhurt, and that the
revolver was once more presented at him,
sought safety in precipitate flight into an ad-
Joining room, which led into his study.
The assassin pursued him, and fired at him
.ast as he reached the study, the second
ball lodging in the wall right over the door.
Once in his study, Senor Pi turned the key,
but in the meantime the aggressor had run
round by a side passage into the drawing
room, which had a door leading into the
study. A struggle ensued between the two
at this door, which would not lock. Senol
pi, however, kept it shut by main force, and
the aggressor fired his third barrel through
the door but without effect. In the mean.
time the cries Of his wife and servant brought
in the neighbors, and these instantly hearc
the discharge of the fourth barrel in tbe
drawng-room, accompanied by heavy
thud on the floor Rushing in, they founG
the lifeless body Of the would-be assassin
bathed in blood from wound i'll the temple
stretched on the ground, with the fatal re
yolyer firmly clasped in his right hand. II
his pockets they found his ceduia de deucciaidar
in which he was described as a priest, resi-
dent in Toledo, and also a document settin!
forth that he had been an inmate Of a luna
tic asylum in the Province Of Valencia
discharged as cured.

The Fatal Lock OF Hair.

There lived in Pats, more than century
ago. an old dame, who kept a shop in
house not very far distant from the Place
Saint Michael. She was reputed rich, and
was supposedto keep her money in her house.
Her only servant was boy, who had lived
with her several years. lie slept in the
house, but high up in the fourth story, OF
rather loft, which could only be reached by
a staircase such as was common in those
days, outside of the house wall, the old lady
sleeping on the ground floor at the back OF
the shop. 1t was the boys duty to lock the
shop door at night, and to retain possession
of the key. One morning the neighbors
found the shop door open much earlier than
usual, and as there was no one to be seen in
the shop, some of them suspected that all
was not right, and went in. There were no
marks betokening violent entry of the
premises, but the old lady was discovered
dead in her bed, having received many
wounds, such wounds, to all appearances,
having been inflicted wish knife, and a
knife covered with blood was found lying in
the middle Of the shop floor. One hand OF
the corpse yet grasped thick lock of hair,
and in the other was a handkerchief. 1t was
proved beyond doubt that the knife and
handkerchief belonged to the boy who had
been SO long her servant, and the lock OF
hair matched his exactly. He was arrested
charged wit. the crime, and (probably under
torture) confessed it, and suffered capital
punishment as a murderer. He was inno-
cent, however. Not very long after his exc
cution, another boy, a servant in a neigh
boring wine shop, being taken in custody
for another ofIense, and seized with the
pangs Of remorse, confessed the murder OF
the Old woman. lie had long been famili-
arly acquainted with the shop boy who had
suffered innocently, and had been in the
habit of dressing his hair. He had man
aged by degrees to save up enough OF the
lads hair from the comb he made use of to
make into tolerable stout lock, and this he
lad put in the hands of the dead woman.
lie had stolen one of the boy 5 eck-handker-
chiefs, and had also his knife, and, by taking
an impression in wax of the key, had been
able to construct another with which to gain
entrance to the shop. At the first glance
the evidence in the case seems at once clear,
natural and spontaneous; but the very COM
pleteness of the evidential facts ought to
have aroused suspicion, and there is nc
doubt that had a right investigation been
set on foot the innocence of the accused
would have been established.
