the campfire. Before he could get it
out the heat had so acted on 1t that the
book had shrivelled up into a hard burnt
ball. he did not attempt to open it,

facts. The ball vas cracked just as a
hickory nut would be in order to get at
its contents. Inside was found, perfect

A Tennessee man put S135 into a boot
and secreted his boot in his smoke
house. When he went back for 1t he
lost his bearings and could not find it.
Six months afterward he stumbled
across the old boot exactly where he
had left it. The money inside had fur
nished nourishment for ~cockroaches
and wood lice. A handful of small
pieces was all that was left to tell the
tale. Sending them on to the treasury,
they were examined, fixed together and
enough were identified to give tee man

"A Good Natured King.


The king Of Denmark was the other
day driving along a seaside road, when
suddenly his carriage came in collision
with another carelessly driven by a
well-known young actor. The king
was unhurt, but his vehicle was so in
jured that he was obliged to finish the
Journey on foot. The actor was 80 con-
fused when he recognized his sovereign
that he was unable to give u~tterance to
his feelings. Nor was he less perplex-
ed when the king turned and said to
him: MY dear Mr.. A., I would real
ly suggest to you the propriety Of study
ing your part, as coachman, n little
better next time. If you had not pre-
pared yourself more carefully for prev
ious performances in which 1 have seen
you, / q am afraid 1 should never have
had the pleasure of witnessing your
performances at all; and if you continue
to appear in the role you have now
taken up with no better success than
has attended you to-day, 1 fear that
may happen which will effectually de-
prive me of the pleasure of ever seeing
you againl"

Cruel Hoax.

VISA
Last evening, just before shutdown, a
gentleman who was sitting by his win.
dow on North B street, casually re-
marked:
"There goes the woman that George
Brown'sd dead gone on"
His wife, who was in the back room
getting supper ready, dropped a plate
on the floor, stumbled over the baby,
and ran like a quarter-horse to the win
dow with:
"Wherer where2 Tell me quickl
1.-THE n with the long black cloak
Just at the corner"
Then the woman at the window said
in tones of deep disgust:
why, that's Browns wife,
Eyes, exactly said the brutal hus-
band quietly.
Then the disappointed woman went
back and got the supper ready, but her
usually sweet disposition was soured for
the entire evening. Yirginia Chronicle.

CuriositIcs Of Currency Redemption.

Whenever anybody mutilates a ma
tional bank or legal-tender note, when
ever anybody comes into possession of
a wornout note, or whenever by acct
dent anybody's money of this charact-
er becomes SO far destroyed that it will
not pass, he sends it to the treasurer of
the United States. The mutilated cur
rency goes to the redemption division
of the treasurer's office, and there judg-
ment is passed on it. OF course every
precaution is had against fraud. Quite
often a woe-begone piece of a note will
be sent in, and after the crucial test
will turn out to be the relic of a count
erfeit bill. Sometimes the afidavits
accompanying a fragment of what was
once a greenback are manufactured. -
In such cases the replies that the send
er gets to his request for redemption
are more pointed than polite.
Among the curious cases which have
come up was that of the poor old wo-
man in Philadelphia. She was saving
money in order to accumulate enough
to secure her admission to some charit-
able institution, and had got together
S65. Distrustfnl of savings banks. she
put her money IN a shelf, we'll conceal
ed. 1t soon disappeared. She was GER
tain that it had been stolen. Some of
her neighbors persuaded her to tear up
the floor. She did so, and after a close
search, the fragments of her S65 were
found in a rats nest, the proprietors Of
which had been exercising their nibbl-
ing propensities on the money. She gath
cred up the fragments and sent them to
the treasury. Most of the money was in
national bank notes, which were mutt
lated beyond the possibility Of recogni-
ton. For them she could regain uoth-
ing. OF the legal-tsnder notes but SO
could be redeemed, 50 the old lady lost
| S57 by rats.
Another case In which there was a
distrust of banks was that of a farmer
living in Illinois. He always kept his
money in the house or about his person.
A short time ago he had S11,0 600 in
ready cash and carried it in his coat
pocket. He went to bed, leaving his
coat on a chair. His wife complained
Of the GOODNESS of the room, and he got
up to stir tho FIRE. He had been back
in bed but a short time, when the room
filed with smoke and the well-known
odor of something burning" He
jumped up to find his coat pocket burnt
ont and his $1,000 a charred mass.
Fortunately there was enough disting-
Unstable about the notes to secure him,
upon his sworn and attested afidavits
Of the facts, a new set complete. He
may p~atronize the banks hereafter.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable
cases that has ever come before the re-
demption division occurred last week.

The Turkish slave Trade.

A gentleman has been given some ac-
count of the Turkish slave trade to a
correspondent of the London Standard.
The hundreds of girl who form part of
the harem are, he AYERS, mostly Circas-
sian slaves. The household Of every
Turk who is at all off, be a pasha, a boy,
or a plain effendi, is stocked with a GER
tain number of these slaves. They are
generally supplied by Circassian fami-
lies settled in the empire. The parents,
when they have daughters at all favor
ed, bring. them up carefully. with a view
to their being sold. Touts go about the
provinces every year, just as horse
dealers travel in the horse-breeding re-
gions of England, France and Hungary,
and buy the girls from their parents.
They are brought to Constantinople,
and there quartered until finally dispos-
ed OF In houses which are well known
to all old residents in the Turkish cap
ital. Some of those houses are in Top
haneh, on the Bosphorous, and In the
quarters of the Sultan Mehemet and the
Avret Bazaar? Though they are not
sold quite publicly, there is no conceal
ment about the transaction. The terms
ofthe sale are set down in a contract re-
gistered by the chief courts. which con-
tract provides for the rights of the buy
er in event Of his purchase not being
equal to the warranty, or Of the slave
making her escape. The character au-
thorizes the purchaser, when tired Of
his bargain, to sell both the mother and
her child, and it appears that this &C.
r daily. 1t is hardly an answer to
this fearful state of things to plead that
yolenti non lit %injuria, and that the VIC
Tins Of this abominable system are
quite reconciled to their lot. England
has made herself responsible In a meas
ure for the reformation Of SO foul a
scandal against morality and civili-
Zation.
