.Se'o Pork Baakers Na1a=ine for Jdnmary.
Mr.. Giffcn, in his paper read within the past
year before tile London Statistical Society on
Recent Accommodations OF Capital, estimated
that during the past ten years Great Britain had
Increased its wealth by $50 millions sterling an
nually, aud had made foreign and colonial in-
vestuents to the amount Of so millions an
nually. He also rcckonel the income OF En-
gtishmen, from foreign and colonial invest
ments, not including trade profits, at Is mill
ions, although not more than 20 millions ap-
pear in taxable income returns.
In paper read in April last before the
British Society OF Arts, Mr.. Ernest Seyd csti-
mated that in 1ss2'7l, a period OF prosperity
and high valuations, Great Britain had ESQ
millions in foreign anl colonial public stocks,
2lO millions in shares and bout]s Of foreign and
colonial railways and other public works, and
81 millions In estates, industrial enterprises
and baak stocks In foreign countries and British
colonies. The total, being $40 millions. hc sup
posed to have been reduced in 1878 to some
figure between $50 and $40 millions. Among
the losses he sets down s. millions to the score
OF defaults bS Turkey and certain South at,d
Central American States.
This is not 50 flatte.iug d picture OF the mag
nilude OF British foreign investments as that Of
Mr.. Gifen, but it is much lower. rs we'll Us

the depression in Great Britain was the fact
that it 'llal been swind!cd in foreign loans :;
to the extent OF 2oU millions.

Mr.. EmersOn's Memory.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer,

From the CINCINNATI Enquirer.
One evening, when Ralph Waldo Emer.
son was engaged in prepa ing his new
lecture. Mrs. Emerson. who had that mo.
ment flattened her finger while trying to
drive nail with smoothing iron, thrust
her head into his study and said:
''See here. sir! want you to drop that
everlasting pen of yours, for a minute OF
two. at least, and 90 down to the grocery
and get mackerel for breakfast.
my DEAR" replied Mr. Emerson, look
ing ap from his work; my dear, can't
you 60? You see am billed in dozen
places to deliver this lecture on 'Memcry,
and it isn't half finished yet"
"And that's what you call your internal
lecture, is it?" said Mrs. Emerson sharply.
"A nice party you are to deliver lecture
And why, my love?" said Mr.. Emer-
son meekly.
"You never go out of the house that
you don't forget to put on your hat or
your boots. and you never take letter Of
mine to mail that you don't carry in your
pocket six months or year, unless | find
it sooner. During the past thirty days
you have carried out OF this house and
forgot to bring back no less than seventy
FIVE or eighty umbrellas; and you know
yourself the last time You went to church
you took out your false teeth, because, as
you said, they burt your corns, and came
away and left them in the seat. say
you are nice man to talk to a cultured
audience on Memory, and if you dom
trot right off to the grocery I'll expose you
before Won re twenty-four hours older"
Mr. Emerson started on jump for the
grocery, and when he got there he could
not for the life Of him recollect what he
had come for.

A Life on q Wager.

From the Sutxo New Independent.
The most foolish bet that We ever heard
Of was made last Sunday morning in
George Shaw's saloon. on Florence avenue.
by Micheal Hall. that he could drink one
quart of wliiskey within FIVE minutes.
Hall had been drinking a good deal dur
ing the morning, and was at the time of
betting somewhat intoxicated. The sum
bet was only SO. which fact alone shows
the condition of the mans mind at the
time. A quart measure was procured and
filed to the brim with whisky, the quail
ity of which, we suppose. was the same as
that generally served In mining towns in
this State. Hall put the measure Of liquor
TO his mouth. without taking it from his
mouth. drank it to the dregs. Before a
minute had passed be fell TO the floor, aI-
parently dead, and in that condition was
at once removed to his lodging house on
Helena avenue DR.. Brieriy was sum
moned and emetics were given. but WITH
out producing the desired result. A stom-
ach pump was applied to the man. and
more than a pint Of liquor was taken from
him. Inflammation Of the stomach set in.
and his sufferings became intense. The
alterations from the Inflammation finally,
it Is believed. perforated his stomach, and
on Thursday night. about II O'Clock. he
died. Hall was a hard-worAing young
man. only % years Of age He drank the
liquor In two ana half minutes.

It was queer little game of twenty

throwing for outside money, California
keeping the lead. The literary man hay-
ing a temporary engagement across the
street, went out for few moments, during
which California instructed Madison as to
how easy it was to win all the loose change
In the Literary fellah's" pockets he sug-
gested that Madison should put down $500
on the next deal and give California 10
per cent. for instruction; Madison said he
had $500, but didn't want to stake it all
at once-he would put down $40, and if
he won would go deeper, to which propo-
sition California assented. The literary
individual returned, and Madison, put
ting down his gold eagle, was allowed to
win. Picking up his adversarys stake
along with his own. and sticking the pile
in his vest pocket, Madison said he guess
ed he wouldn't play any more to- day; and
again he had very pressing engagement
