A Long Drunk.

Mr.. John Wren, of Cleveland, o.,
has just recovered from a 1000 mile
drunk. He went to London, Eng.
some weeks ago to visit son, got very
drunk at a wine party, and vanished.
When next heard of it was at the depot
in Cleveland, where he was found I'M
der the influence of liquor, and armed
with two big bottles of whisky. They
took him to the hospital, where, after
some days delirium, he recovered his
senses, abused his English friends fol-
deserving him in a strange place, and
asked for paper to write home to
Cleveland for money with which to re-
turn to America. "My God! have
crossed the Atlantic Ocean drunk" he
exclaimed, when at last they convinced
him that he was in Ohio, not in Eng
land.

A Woman's Device.

A few years ago, says an English pa
per, when highway robberies were more
frequent than at present, the passengers
of stage-coach on its way to town be-
gan to talk about robbers. One gentle
man, expressing much anxiety lest he
should lose ten guineas, was advised by
a lady who sat next to him to take it
from his pocket and slip it into his boot,
which he did Immediately. 1t was not
long before the coach was stopped by a
highwayman. who, riding up to the win
dow on the lady's side, demanded her
money; she declared that she had none,
but if he would examine the gentleman s
boot he would there find ten guineas.
The gentleman submitted patiently, but
when the robber departed he loaded his
female travelling companion with abuse,
declaring her to be in confederacy with
the highwayman. She confessed that
appearances were against her, and said
if the company in the stage would sup
with her the following evening in town
she would explain her. conduct which
appeared so mysterious. After some
debate they all accepted her invitation,
and the next evening, in calling on her,
were ushered into a magnificent room,
where an elegant supper was prepared.
When this was over she produced a
pocketbook, and, addressing the gentle
man who had been robbed, said: "In
this book, sir, are bank-notes to the
amount of ZOO. thought it better fol
you to lose ten guineas than me thi:
valuable. property, which had with me
last night. AS you have been the means
of saving it entreat acceptance of this
bank-bill of f1OO.''
