MILLIONS BY BEaaARY.-A beggar
recently died in Berlin who left an estate
valued at more than million and a
half marks. He lived in Berlin where
he had a large family, and was noted for
the sumptuous burgher styled in which
he entertained during the winter months,
when alone he was at his home. The
champagne flowed freely at his dinners,
and the tradespeople whom he invited
were not kept in ignorance Of the most
recherche efforts of the North German
cuisine. During the summer, the mill
lionaire was not at home. He was away
at the watering places, but it has only
just transpired in what capacity. In
fact, he went the rounds of these resorts,
when they were most crowded, in the
discharge of his business as professional
beggar, in which he had no rival, and
which enabled him to accumulate his
fortune and live at such pleasant case in
the 'of seasons" He was gunine ar
list in his line, a perfect actor, a master
of DISCUSSES, and played many roles In
his foraging expeditions. "In wretched
habiliments," says one account, with
an invalid's cap, blue spectacles, long
snow>white hair judiciously unksmpt,
and apparently palsied limbs, he used to
shamble slowly and most artistically
along the promenades. He never direct
ly asked aims, as he knew by experience
that the silent system OF begging paid the
best; but money was literally bestowed
upon him, his best harvest being gather
ed in the once famous gambling resorts,
the winners doubtless making gifts in the
way ofthank Offering, the losers to pro.
pitiate fortune" He used to send his
receipts to Berlin every week, and had
them invested with prudence and judg-
ment. He drove this profitable trade for
over thirty years, long after he had be-
come rich man, and was finally recog-
nized at Weisbaden, by q Berline- and
exposed, whereupon he gave up his little
game and retired.

the land, and secured it taut around u
tree, the great, burly Captain crept ashore
on it, and fell down before Little Tins,
excisedly, saying, two or three TIMES +:
" God bless the boy God bless him I"
Then he rolled him to and fro on the
ground, rubbed his feet and hands madly,
and, finally, throwing off his coat, wrap
ped it about Little Tins and ran with
him in his arms al. the way to the school.
You may be sure that we followed and
gathered in that great kitchen before the
open fire, awestruck and scarcely daring
to breathe, while they were trying to
bring Little Tins back to life. How
fr;ghtfully white and cold he looked /! 1t
seemed as If he never would grow warm
again, as though hours had passed while
we were waiting. The crew of the YES
sci all got ashore and came up to the
school, the doctor rode over from Sea-
bright, and the vessel on the rocks went
down. AT last, however, he opened his
eyes.
/" You are feeling better new, my
boy :" said the doctor, cheefully.
The rope, l meant to get the rope"
he said, looking at us as though he were
dreaming.
" Yes, yes, you did get it bravely,"
answered the big Captain. You have
saved US ALL"
We boys waited to hear no more but
ran out and rang the old school bell for
JOY rs 1t was never rung before. And
then we all went on the playground and
gave three migaty cheers for Little Tins
-Featherstone' hero.
And the city papers the next day

Such storm, they said, had not been on
our coast for years. Then description
of the wreck was given, aad an account

printed in full, and it was explained that
he leaped from the highest cliff along the
Cumberland shore, and swan out for the
rope. That when it was obtained and

NATURAL CANNON BALLS. - "My
friend, the late Captain Hawley, brought
to me from that Wonderland, the far
West, a very curious stone. 1t is black
and perfectly round, as heavy as iron,
and looks exactly likes cannon-ball. 1t
was taken from Cannonsbsll River a
branch ofthe Upper Mississippi. This
aforesaid stream contains great quanti-
ties of these balls-enough to fight our
battles with for centuries. The geolo-
gists ought to be ashamed of their ignor-
ance, but they haven It been able to tell
whether these cannon-balls were forged
by the water god or the fre-god. A
neighbor of mine informs me that he has
seen some of these balls in the Ugh clay
banks of Red River, La, and that they
were some six to eight feet in diameter.
Some Of them are formed of iron pyrites,
though generally tho balls are of clayiron
stones. .o-St. Nicholas.

AN ENTERPRIsINo GANa.-It would
be amusing, If their operations had not
begun with such hideous tragedy, 10
watch :he doings Of the Kelly gang Of
bushrangers in Victoria and New South
Wales. Here we have four young men,
the leader little more than boy, who
have kept the frontier of two great and
Aourishing colonies in state Of constant
alarm for months. They dash into one
township in Victoria, lock up half the in ,
habtants, steal the whole of the available
cash in the bank, and disappear. The
colonial police are as powerless TO catch
them as the Russian police are to put
down the Nihilists. Time passes on, the
bushrangers' funds are perhaps r1nning
rather low, and they suddenly came out
again, this time on the New South Wa;-
es side, at the Township of Jerilderie.
Here the band began by capturing the
policemen on Saturday, February 8, pass
Sunday in decent quiet, and on Monday
proceed, as at Euroa, to take into custody
and lock up such persons as might inter
fere with them. Then they robbed the
bank of $4,000 and, having made this
nice little haul, they were gracious enough
to treat The townspeople at the various
bars, and from being simply murderous,
became quite urbane. Later they went
of once more with their gains and two
capital police horses. A reward of 9S,-
900 was offered for their capture; but
two months have now elapsed and the
telegraph has not brought news that this
has been effected. .-PuiL Mall Gazette.

WASHING Woman's work is
never done. The ingenuity of the inven-
tive Yankee has revolrtionized labor of
the male sex, and man can now do his
work very often hundred times as fast
as he could at the beginning of this CEN
tury, but his wife takes the forenoon for
washing up the dishes, making the beds,
and baking the necessary pie. After lunch
she has to wash more distes, changes her
dress and does an hours sewing before
she gets the dinner, after which more
dishes are washed, and then the children
are put to bed, and she sits down to mend
the boys pants. This is the life of the
poor mans wife, and if she is able to
keep a servant her labor varies more in
kind than degree. The fact is, it takes
too much time entirely to keep the dishes
clean, and it occurs to us that if the ladies
kept the stores and we the houses, some
more expeditions way would be invented.
We would set paper plates and throw
them away after each meal, or we would
have a big sink instead of shelves in
which to stow our dishes. When they
SVere dirty we would lay them carefully
in the sink and turn on the water, and
when we wanted meal we would fish
them out and wipe them dry. Or, better
still, we would turn off the water and they
would dry themselves. There are several
ways which occur to us to save time, and
II we we're in the business it is likely that
many more would suggest themselves -
Under the present system, the dish cloth
paws far more important part in the life
Of ninety-nine women out of hundred
than the bridal-veil 1t may be that it is
best that this should be so. If some
friend Of the sex should invent patent
self-adjusting, rubber-cushioned dish
washer, the blessed angels would imme-
diately and with malice sforethought in
vent work enough to keep them busy day
and night, just as they did with the sewN
ing machine.-Reno Gazette.

"BABY MINE. THE baby carriage
has made its appearance for the season of
1879. Itwas occupied by the usual baby,
and it was propelled by the woman who
looks into all the store windows as she
goes along. A reporter who followed
the carriage for an hour found that it
collided with five women. ten men, six
'curb>blocks, four boxes and street ear,
and every collision only made the woman
moro determined to occupy two-thirds of
the sidewalk # it took all summer. She
succeeded. They all succeed. A woman
pushing baby carriage in front of her
on the sidewalk is as dangerous as seven
roller>skaters and four velocipede riders
combined. She can't kill full grown
man quite as promptly as runaway
team, but she can knock his shins to
pieces, tumble him over, upset all his
good resolutions and leave him flint heart
ed and evil>minded. You can't dodge
baby cab. Your only safe way is to make
a jump from the curbstone or climb a
ladder, They 60 on wheels. They are
supposed to be convenience which no re-
spectacle baby can do without. No mat
tel who first got the idea that jolting
baby around town. bobbing him over
curbstones and bouncing him over cross
walks would sweeten his disposition
idea is correct. Put a man in a vehicle
of the sort and his back would be broken
in an hour, but babies have no backs
They are simply great big hunks of
sweetness. The only reason why all the
Union REGIMENTS in the late war were not
armed with baby carriages was because
the factories could not supply thom. They
would have ended the war in one year,
The woman with the baby carriage needs
no advice. She knows enough to head
the veh icle toward every crowd she can
see. The thicker the crowd the more
business she has there. 1t is her duty to
run to all fires with it, to select the bust

runaway teams, and she perfectly under-
stands it. II there is any country on
earth where these vehicles are not in use,
it is no country to live in.- Detroit Free

HEARD FROM.
Ex-GOv. Marshall Finds His Boy and


Ex-Gov. Marshall Finds His Boy and Re-
turns Home.
Recent developments regarding the sudden
and mysterious disappearance of ex-Gov.
Marshal's son a few days since, go great way
toward disproving former theories respecting
his departure, throwing, as they do, an entirely
new light on his hitherto inexplicable conduct.
The fact is, as learned from the most intel
igent and reliable authority, that the youths
departure was deliberately planned and exc
cuted by two of his associates, viz: Henry
Knox and Lewis Bigelow, who are said to have
concocted the juvenile conspiracy for the sole
purpose of getting George into trouble.
On the afternoon of his departure the two
last named boys induced young Marshall to
draw what money he had saved, amounting in
all to $40, and accompany them to the depot,
which he somewhat reluctantly consented to
do. The trio proceeded down town, and on ar
irving at the depot one of the boys succeeded
in obtaining half the money, 800 gold piece
wherewith he purchased ticket. 1t is not
known by what persuasive arts George was in
duced to take the train, but certain it is that
he duly departed, his companions being in
high glee over the success of their manouevre.
A dispatch was received from Governor
Marshall, last evening, from Portage, Wis,
stating that the boy had been found in Mil
waukee. 1t is expected that the father and
son will arrive in this city to-day.

4 FAMILY SUIT,
Isaac w. Webb Has Suit Brought Against
Him by His Daughter

Isaac w. Webb Has Suit Brought Against
Him by His Daughter.
Some time ago, Isaac w. Webb figured
to great and protracted suit about horse
trade. The ms and outs of that affair, civil
and criminal, with Leopold With, of Mil
waukee, were given at length in the GLOBE.
Webb comes TO the front again in a legal
way. This time he is made party defend
att to suit in which his daughter is COM
plainant. The bill is entitled, and reads as
follows:
Bessie A. Judd vs.. Isaac Webb, Morris Lam
prey, and E. Kimberly.
The plaintiff to the action. Mrs Bessie Judd
nee Webb, AYERS in the bill that on the 23d Of
August, 1877, her father, Isaac W. Webb made
executed and delivered promissory note to
the order of Bessie A. Webb, amounting to
$4, 46O.3S, with interest at the rate of IL per
cent. per annum, the note being secured by a.
chattle mortgage upon personal property be-
longing to defendant and situated at Mounds
View, valued at $1,000.
1t is alleged by plaintiff that Morris Lam
prey, as party to the defense, executed an adj
dltlonal mortgage on the same property
amounting to 81, 100, causing the same to be
filed twenty minutes before the filing of the
previous mortgage, with intent to secure
prior lien.
1t is further alleged in the bill that the sec
ond mortgage made without a considera
ton, the object being to prevent the foreclo-
sure and collection.
The bill also sets forth that
instead Of assisting plaintiff to collect
the amount Of the note, the said Lamprey
vigorously protested against the foreclosure.
saying, among other things, that she ought not
to proceed against her own father.
1t is further alleged that said defendant
made pretended sale of his pretended inter-
est in the property for the sum of $780, the
alleged transfer being made to the defendant
Kimberly.
Plaintiff also says that the defendant Kim
6erly is insolvent, and acted an agent for
webb and Lamprey, the object being to pre-
vent foreclosure of the first mortgage.
The bill prays that Kimberly be required by
the court to account for all property while in
his possession until such time as the property
shall be sold under the order of the court
In conclusion plaintiff asks that a receiver
be appointed and that such other relief be
granted as may be required in the premises
