Baron Grants Failure.

Baron Albert Grant, who failed in
London recently for some millions, is SO
very shrewd and unprincipled that he is
likely to get on his feet again, especially
as he is only 40, and full of self-assurance
and resources. A native of Dublin,
with all the vanity, plausableness, and
push of his race, he has pushed himself
into a notorious prominence by means
that many are unable to understand.
Although he has been in parliament
several times by purchasing burroughs,
he has spent most Of his life on the con-
tinent, occupied with speculations of
doubtful character. He contrived to
get his title of baron some ten years ago
from the king of Italy, and was also
made commander of the order OF Christ
by the sovereign Of Portugal. BE has
pro6ted to the utmost by these nominal
honors, which have helped him in title
worshipping England, when no amount
of sterling worth would have benefited
him lot. His connection with the
famous Emma mine introduced him to
this country, and his presentation of
Leicester square to London advertised
him wildly in Great Britain. His mag
nifcent house in South Kensington-
cost about ,000-has furnished
many paragraphs to the press, and its
forced sale is said to have grieved him
sorely. Undeniably a man Of ability, of
rare financial talent, he is a good exam
pie of what impudence and energy COM
bined can achieve in the teeth of wide
spread and well-founded prejudice.-N.

The Beating Of tho Drummer.

= x40r d00oVAAA6 ~ VASS - 40
As the sleeper through from st: Louis
the other morning, was approaching tho
city, all the passengers were up and the
berths put up, with the exception of one,
On this section the curtains were still
drawn, and the occupant apparently,
sleeping, with one hand hanging peace
fully out over a loop between the closely
drawn curtains. A faint snore from
within betokened that a weary traveller
was enjoying his morning snoo7e.
Without stopping to inquire whether the
hand belonged to Gen: Butler or Blue
Jeans Williams, q Cincinnati drummer,
for the purpose, doubtless, of making 3
little fun for the other passengers, seized
it and shook it most cordially, remark
ing as he did so: "Good-by, old boy,
goodbye; can't be with you always,
you know; give my love to the folks,
and don't fail to call and see us when
you come to town." Here the facetious
drummer was knocked clear ACROSS the
car by stalwart blow from the disen-
gagged hand of the occupant of the berth.
After picking himself up and pulling his
nose around to it's proper place, he OTTER
ed to bet weeks salary that the fellow
in the berth was a prize-fghter. This
excited some curiosity on that point,
and the berth was closely watched.
After little shutting behind the cur
tains, and just before the train entered
the city, a lady, who bore striking re-
semblance to Susan B. Anthony, came
smiling from the section, and ordered
the porter to make up her seat, while she
retired to the dressing-room to arrange
her feathers, and possibly, battle her
knuckles with arnica.-CVncsnnati En-

The Injunction Carried Out.

The following story is told of the late
Captain z. M. Sherley, whose death at
Louisville was reported recently: In
1888 Capt. Sherley, who had been near
New Orleans on important business, was
returning as passenger on steamboat.
The vessel was hailed from fatboat, re-
questing permission to place a sick man
aboard. This request was complied with,
and the discovery was soon made that
the sickness was cholera. This caused a
general fright; the cabin passengers all
fed from contiguity with the victim, and
among those frightened was Capt. Sher-
ley. But. he soon had occasion to 20
into the berth of the sufferer in search
ing for something, and when he saw the
great distress of the patient, his sympa-
thies obtained the mastery over his fears.
He could not leave the man to perish
alone as though he was on the sands of
the desert; he remained with him. The
dying man, a Mr.. Taylor, said he had
left his wife and young son at Portland,
and he pleaded with Capt. Sherley if he
should ever have it inshis power to be.

British Torpedo Boats.

The two frst-class boats, originally
built by Messrs. Yarrow, of Poplar, for
the Russian government, but which were
purchased by the admiralty Just before
tho Spithead review, are being brought

order to make their fittings approach as
nearly as possible to those Of the Light

nels forward abreast, with. a space be-
tween them for, a, spar, az it was the
intention Of the Russians to, arm them

however, be fitted for. carrying the

The Curse of Italian Child Slavery

The Curse of Italian chld Slavery.
The cash value of an Italian boy has
been get in Boston at $50. When the
relatives of certain boy sought to re-
deem him from servitude, his padrene
demanded that sum as the price Of him.
The Herald (Boston) says the number of
such children in that city is great, and
has heavily increased, owing to the severe
laws in that state and in Pennsylvania.
Some of the children were purchased in
Italy of their parents, or of other per-
sons claiming to be their parents, while
others were stolen or kidnapped from
their homes or on the streets. They are
now employed as bootblacks, beggars and
street musicians, and are cruelty punished
when their earnings are not sufficient to
satisfy their employers: The story is
related of certain child, guilty of no
offence except that of earning 25 cents
instead of so, who was stripped and beat
en- with a leathern strap until the tendon
of his knee was lacerated and his flesh
was cut to the bone, and in that condi-
ton he was lashed to the chimney on the
roof, exposed to the keen frost of win
ter's nil int. Fortunately a bill is now
before the state legislature which pro.
vides for the correction of these outrages.

Senatorial Repartee.

There was a laughable passage between
Conkling and Thurman this afternoon.
Mr.. Thurman rose pompously and
expressed great surprise that his
friend from New York seemed
to quite misapprehend the mean.
ing of the word "expatriation."
"Why" said he, "nothing is simpler.
The word is from patrio Country. E1-
patriation means, therefore, out of or
away from ones own country" Mr..
Conkling afterward alluded to the mag
niicent style of his friend from Ohio,
who had read him a lecture on law.
Later, MI. Thurman rose to say that he
had a word of explanation to make.
His friend had said he had reproved him
in magnificent style. He felt the reproof
keenly, coming as it did from a child
of nature, one who cared little for the
elaboration and finish of rhetoric, nor
valued dramatic situations. TO the
criticisms of one so simple, SO free from
afectation Of all kind, so almost unso-
phisticated, he should bow his head in
very shame, and hereafter he would
earnestly try to cure this defect. The
retort was so droll that it caused gen
eral laugh, in which Mr.. Conkling heart
lily joined.-Neao York Dispatch.

WATERPROOF Boota.

1t is not always desirable that boots
should be absolutely waterproof, as
whatever keeps water out will keep it
in, and whoever has worn India rubber
boots for any length Of time, knows that
retaining the perspiration of the feet
soon puts them in very unpleasant,
hslf parboiled condition that is not de-
sirable. Still, waterproof boots are USE
tul in an: emergency, to be worn for 9
short time-as in doing chores in bad
weather. A pair of good rubber boots
will answer this purpose, or. pair of
3cow-hide boots may be made waterproof
after the method Of New England fisher

The Eot of Gold.

GA cobbler in Somersetshire dreamed
that q person told him thatif he would
go to London bridge ne would meet with
something to his advantage. He dream
ed the same the next night, and again
the night after. He then determined to
go to London bridge, and walked thither
accordingly. When arrived there, he
walked about the whole of the first day
without anything occurring; the next
day was passed in similar manner. He
resumed his place the third day, and
walked about till evening, when, giving
it up ashopeless, he determined to leave
London and return home. At this mo-
ment stranger came up and said to
him: l have seen you for the last three
days walking up and down this bridge;
may l ask if you are waiting for any
one? The answer was, MOP Then
what is your object in staying hereT
The cobbler then frankly told his reason
for being there and the dream that had
visited him three successive nights. The
stranger then advised him to go home
again to his work, and no more pay any
attention to dreams. Twork myself, he
said, and had about six months ago, a
dream. Idreamed three nights together,
that, if I would go into Somersetshire,
in an orchard, under an apple tree, l
should find pot of gold; but paid no
attention to my dream, and have re-
NAMED quietly at my business 1t i'm
mediately occurred to the cobbler that
the stranger described his own orchard
and his own apple tree. BE Immediately
returned home, dug under the apple
tree, and found pot of gold. After
this increase of fortune he was enabled
to send his son to school, where the boy
learned Latin. When he came home for
the holidays, he one day examined the
pot which had contained the gold, on
which was some writing. He said,
6 Father, can. show you that what l
have learned at school is of some use.' ,
He then translated the Latin inscription
on the pot thus: Look under, and you
will find better They did look under,
and q larger quantity Of gold was found."
As the story is a. good one, it would be
pleasant to fancy it could possibly be
true.-THe Saturday Revieav:

THE MILL OF ETRETAT
A Legend Of Normandy.

Etretat was not always the pretty and
coquettish little nook it is now, where
folk battle and dance, the piano tinkles
and voices sing day and night. There
was time when bathers did not prone

quin suits. Indeed, it is barely thirty
years since the shore knew no other fire.
quenters than stout, hoarse sailors, fish
ermen and their wives and little ones,
tanned by the sun and salty air and
coarsely clad.
Before that-so long ago that the men,
DRY of that time survives but as faint
tradition-Etretat had no need of city
and fashionables, the strangers who
yearly go there to barter their money for
fresh air. "They bring water to the
MILL the local proverb hath it, and
water is precisely what Etretat stands
.sorely in need of. There folk must
drink the water precisely as they find it,
sometimes turbid, sometimes brackish,
and put their dependence mainly in the
rains, when with infinite trouble the
farmers fill their cisterns. Indeed, so
scarce is water there that majority of
the country folk have entirely renounced
its Use, and instead slake their thirst
with a particularly fine cider, or a par
ticularly vigorous brandy.

A Storv from Real Life.

Some thirty years ago the New York
and New Haven railroad had just begun
running on single track. One after
noon a country boy about 10 was stand
ing near the track at a cross road half
way between Stamford and Darien. he
heard a train coming from the latter
station Just as a New York train came
in sight from the opposite direction.
He ran to the track, and, waving his
hat, caught the attention of the engineer,
and by bis earnest manner and his point
ing in the opposite direction, convinced
him that q train was coming round the
bend. He instantly applied the brakes
and stopped his train just in time to
escape q disastrous collision. The rail-
road company expressed its gratitude at
the time by the present of a valuable
silver cup and life pass over the road.
A year or two later the boy was taken
into the employ of the company and in
structed in mechanical engineering, for
which he exhibited marked ability. He
was an industrious worker, honest, in
telligent and ambitious, and rose to a
responsible and lucrative position with
the company. He settled in New Ha-
ven, where his worth was recognized,
and he was chosen to number of
honorable Offices, all of which he filled
with the same honesty and efficiency.
To-day he is a director and general
superintendent of a manufacturing
tablishment, is a director of the Yale
National bank of New Haven, is inter-
ested in half dozen or more profitable
manufactures, and is one of the most
prominent and respected, as he is one of
the best, citizens of the Elm City and of
the state. He represents the city at
present in the general assembly, his
name being John Harris Leeds, and his
native modesty will probably cause him
to object to this brief sketch, which is
written because the lesson it teaches is
a valuable one.-HarJford Courant.
