Through Trap Door = What Hap
pcned.

The proprietor of n store on Jefferson
avenue was yesterday looking out upon
the rain-bedrizzled streets and figuring
that he wouldn't make n cent during the
whole afternoon, when n hard-up look
ing stranger, wet to the hide. walked
softly in and took seat in chair.
Anything to-dayP" asked the mer-
chant. I...
The answer was n lonesome shake of
the head.
bad weather to-day" I..
Another weary shake replied.
After five minutes of silence, the
stranger got up and began walking the
store. The trap door leading TO the
basement was up, and in one of his
turns he went down out of sight like n
bag of shot. The merchant called out
when it was too late and he ran to the
trap and peered down the dark stairs
with the expectation of seeing corpse
on the cellar bottom. Instead of that
the strange man appeared on the stairs
and ascended without help. He was
covered with dust from head to foot and
his coat split up the back, and the mer.
chant hastened to say:
81 am very sorry, indeed. | forgot
the trap-are you much hurtP"
"My friend" replied the stranger, rs
he turned around and extended his hand,
"you have been the means of saving me !
Shake hands with mel"
The merchant thought the fall had
made lunatic, but he shook, and the
man went on: "Five minutes ago was
desperate. l had about made up my
mind to murder some one and then jump
into the river. That fall has given me
new and better ideas. From this hour
/ am a new man, with n better life be-
fore me! Shake again!"
Ah-yes-very strange" stammered
the merchant as he shook, and the
stranger said as he stood in the door:
"I thank you from the bottom of my
heart for leaving that trap open! Wife
and children shall bless your name, and
can never forget you! Goodbye, sir
ten thousand blessings-Heaven keep
you in its care!"
The merchant puzzled over the case
for long time and then went down
cellar and found evidences that the
stranger had coolly jumoed down there,
rolled in the dust, and curing the brief
moment secured about his person four
dozen pocket-knives and package of
gloves. Then there was another
"shake. ."-DetroH Free Press.

A Cooking Contest at a Fair.

Miss Corson, the scientific cook, having
passed through Ohio some months ago,
the young women of Hamilton county,
in that State, got an idea that it would
be awfully nice to have a cooking con-
test at the county fair. So space in
the grounds was Enclosed by means of a
rope, and in the midst of a thousand
spectators, who pressed the lines from
every point of the compass, Miss Mary
Leehy, of Wyoming, rolled up her sleeves
and pitched in. The judges (adies, of
coursn) pulled out their watches at the
moment when the water began to boil
in the kettle, f2.43 P. NJ, and sixty-five
minutes later six persons sat down to a
royal dinner prepared by Miss Mary's
hand. At the same hour the next day
Miss Mary's contestant, Miss Phoebe
Hill, tried her hand, and in exactly fifty
four minutes rang for the feast. The
judges awarded the prize, an improved
and the most valuable stove made, to
Miss Leehy, because Miss Phebe's din
ner, though ready eleven minutes earlier,
was inferior in quality.

A Female Gamblers Fate.

Educated. pretty and fashionably
dressed women were not common in Ne
vada City, CAL, in 1854. Therefore the
arrival of Madam Dumont in that min
ing town caused considerable excite
ment, for she was attractive in the
three mentioned particulars. Besides,
she was not more than twenty years
old. She at once hired corner in a
large saloon and opened faro game
The novelty of woman dealing the
cards drew many gamblers to her table,
and her success was so great that she
soon opened a large establishment,
where dozen games were kept going
night and day. She gained the reputa-
tion of dealing honestly, was always
smilingly polite, and the miners liked
her-even held her in considerable re-
spect. But her luck changed at last
from good to bad, and she lost all her
money. She spent n few years in other
business in San Francisco, but could not
recover into prosperity. A few weeks
ago she borrowed $500 from an old
friend and started for the mining region
of Nevada, contemplating a new career
rs gambler. She opened faro game
at Doodle, but it lasted only few hours,
when the bank was broken. She pa d
her losses in the old smiling manner, re-
tired to an ante-room, swallowed poison,
and died

Electric Lights.

Introduction of the electric light is be-
coming so general in Paris that it now
attracts very little attention. The pro-
prietors OF hotels, restaurants, theaters,
and even stores, are erecting electric
candles in front of their establishments,
and there are quite Il number on the
steps and around the Madeleine. All
the public gardens and squares have u
dozen or more lights, and the Place
rOpera literally blazes with them, max
ing the gas jets look like farthing can
dies. The Arch of Triumph has twenty
electric candles around it, and where
ever it was introduced by the authori-
ties to add brilliancy to the great illumi-
nation it remains as permanent illumi-
mating process. In nearly all the great
central places of Paris electricity is grad
ually superseding gas, and wherever it
is extensively used the gaslights are ex-
tinguished. Whetherit will ever be used
for indoor lighting is very doubtful, as
it is too glaring light when very close
to it; it is shaded out of doors with
large and heavy frosted shades. For
railroad stations and all central public
places it is superseding gas, but it re-
quires motive power near at hand to the
candles to keep up a steady current of
electricity.

Walking ON Sunday.

1t is somewhat unusual to find court
of law engaged in determining whether
walking in the open air on Sunday for
exercise is illegal. This question. how
ever, arose in n recently reported case
which was argued in the Supreme
Court of the State of Maine. The plain
tiff brought an action against the city of
Portland for damage sustained by him
owing to the defective state of the high
way. He was in charge of the city water
works, and, wishing to vary the mono
tony of his employment, went Tor a two
hours walk for recreation one Sunday
afternoon: This was in the winter.
After setting out he called at an inn and
drank glass of ale. Then he resumed
his walk, but before returning slipped
upon a quantity of ice which lay on
much frequented sidewalk, and brok
one of the bones of his right leg. A
statute in force in the State of Maine
prohibits travelling on the Lords
Day" The defendants made point of
this, and likewise urged that it was il
legal to walk ON Sunday for the purpose
of purchasing and drinking ale. No such
purpose, however, was proved. The
judge at the trial told the Jury that
walking on Sunday for recreation was
not illegal, and that although the step
ping aside for the ale under the circum-
stances might be illegal, yet if the act
did not contribute to produce the dam
age, it would not prevent a verdict for
the plaintiff. The Jury accordingly
foun' for the plaintiff; whereupon the
defendants took exception to the ruling
and appealed. The Supreme Court, af-
tirming the proposition that walking on
Sunday for exercise in the open air was
not Illegal, distinguishing between
walking on Sunday for the purpose of
buying ale, which would be illegal, and
cases where the intention at starting
was merely to obtain exercise and re-
creation. In the latter case a person
who drank a glass of ale and then re-
sumed his walk, and therein suffered
damage from defective highway, was
not, by the laws in force in Maine, pre-
vented from recovering for the damage
unless he contributed to it. The appeal
was consequently dismissed.

An Angry Congressman.

There Is now no doubt us to how Con.
grossman Daggett stands on the railroad
question. Conversing with Virginia
City (Nev) Chronicle reporter the other
day, he said
"The railroad people are the pret lest
kind of gougcrs. They begin TO show
their hand ut Omaha. In the first place
the fare from Omaha to San Francisco is
one hundred dollars and fifty cents, and
everybody who buys u ticket stops to
growl and ask what that fifty cents is
for. They are told that that half dollar
is simply the profit made on each pas
senger I guess the hundred dollars
come nearer the profit than the half dol
lar.
"Then they grab your trunk. and shove
il behind grating to be weighed. You
can't see the scales at all, and you have
sings out, eight dollars and thirty cents
over weight and you have to pungle
the money or your trunk don't go. Now
my trunk was so small an affair that |
could throw it over my shoulder with
one hand, but they ran up the weight to
26O pounds. Probably it did weigh that
much when 200-pound baggage master
was sitting On it.
"Well. / paid, because hadn't but
two minutes to fight; and Mt Ogden the
baggage villain still pursued me, and /
paid some more extra weight. 1t weighed
more at Ogden, probably because n
heavier man sat on it, or else the rari-
fed atmosphere affected the scales. Then
coming over the mountain there was
some extra charges for ropes. But I'll
get even-I'll get even.
You see | am entitled, rs n member
of Congress, to six hundred volumes OF
Agricultural reports. two hundred Sur
veyor-G Generals reports, five hundred
Patent Office reports, and several
thousand other heavy volumes of equally
exciting character"
Reporter: Are these reports ever
read P
Mr.. Daggett, Nj. c.: Oh, yes; the
printers who set em up are obliged to
read them. Well, these are sent on to
my address free, and the railroad people
have to carry 'em for nothing, under
their postal contract with the United
States government-the biggest govern
ment on the earth, sir. Then I'll give
one cory of the agricultural romance to
Farmer Treadway, and a copy of the
geological fictions to Professor Stewart.
All the rest need myself.
Reporter !: For what purpose?
Mr.. Daggett, NJ. c.: Why, you see,
I'll put my frank on 'em and ship 'em
to Zach Chandler, in Wisconsin, and
he'll frank 'em and send 'em back, and
I'll frank 'em again and redirect 'em to
him; and those books-two tons OF 'em,
by Jove-will go back and forth over
that blasted road free until the next ses-
sion of Congress, when I'll get hold of
some more and start them along, too.
| propose to keep the books in motion
until they wear out, and then I'll sue the
company for damages. Oh. I'll sicken
'em of the extra weight dodge! Don't
you forget it.

A Shocking Crime.

While the world steadily grows better,
crimes are still committed which shock
the dullest sense and belle humanity.
Nothing is so good or so bad in the past
that it may not and does not happen
again and again. An example of tlis is
furnished by most revolving murder of
one brother by another, near Peurgia,
Italy. Tomaso Longari, having quar-
relied with his brother Sebastiano, stole
up behind him as he was coming from
mass, in retired spot, felled him with
an axe and then beheaded him. He
next cut him deliberately to pieces, re-
moving the heart, lungs, liver and other
organs, finally fried the viscera and gave
them to his wife and children for dinner,
pretending that they were meat he had
bought of butcher. They ate the
dreadful meal, never suspecting the
truth. Afterward, suspected and ar.
rested, he acknowledged the murder
with perfect composure, and said he
would gladly repeat it if he had an op-
DOrtunity
