"the poor mans friend" in sense Of con-

never be able to escape. A correspondent
Of that journal has written up in detail
the methods whereby English has accumu-

4 Simple Case Of Gratitude.

the following story: "a certain stock

What ails you, Mrs. S.? sympathetic

now, would YOU call Il comfortable in

The broker reflected. He wanted to
make the old woman happy, so he in
vested in Consolidated Virginia mining
stock to the amount of twenty shares,
which gave profit of 81, 900 which he
instantly handed to Mrs. S. with his
best regards. The lady was overjoyed.
She wept on his waistcoat; called him
her preserver; she would have kissed
him, but he wouldn't let her. At last,
when her transports had somewhat SUBJ
sided, the instinct of mOney-making be-
gan to show itself, and she requested
the broker to reinvest the whole sum
on her behalf. He demurred; he OBJ
jected; he begged of her to be content
with the profit she had made. He knew
the uncertainty of stocks; but all in vain.
Mammon reigned triumphant in the
old woman's breast. She insisted; he
yielded and lost half the investment.
The lady had $1,000 left, but was she
satisfied? No! She actually sued the

Correspondence Chicago Journal.
Harris Falls, in Rensselaer, county
formerly known us Schaticoke), Il
WOODEN manufacturing village of about
l 200 inhabitants, is terribly afflicted
with malarial diseases, mostly Of Il ty-
phoid character. Several hundred Of
the factory hands and other citizens are
sick, and many deaths have occurred.
There have been similar epidemics Of
diphtheria and fevers there in former
years. The matter having been report
ed to Governor Cornell and the men,
bers of the State Board Of Health, the
Governor and the Health Commission
ers visited the place and made Il
thorough investigation Of the cause Of
the plague Medical experts attribute
it to a solid embankment built some
years ago by the Boston, Housatonic &
Western Railroad Company over a
natural stream or water course, Il tribu-
tary to the Hoosac River, which con-
meets or did connect with the river at
Harris Falls. Before the erection of
this embankment no malarial disease
Of any kind was known. At the point
of juncture with the Hoosac river the
water course includes a Topped water
surface of about three miles, or /, pond
with an area of from forty to fifty
acres. The embankment is about 40
feet in height and 1 800 feet in length.
No culvert was left under the embank-
ment, but at Il point remote from the
main mouth CT the stream there is q
small archway which discharges but a
small amount of the water from the
pond. The village Of Harris Falls is
located on the bank of the pond formed
by the railroad company. The pond is
one mass of dead green slime and the
annual deposit of malarial matter has
formed Il vast cesspool which has fifty
been named the "Valley of Death"
The state health authorities have
also been advised of local cause for
investigation at Geneva which causes
diphtheria and other material diseases
this season, and will soon go there.

Money Relics Found in a Queer Spot.
Bangor CMe) Commercial

Miss Olive Morrill,, who resides at
No. Al Essex street, this city, STEPPED out
of her door as usual the other morning
at an early hour and swept off the steps,
when her broom turned over a little
bunch of dry leaves under which she
discovered two rolls of bills, silver
quarter of dollar, and silver pencil.
The money must have been placed
there the nj ght before, for the steps are
swept every morning. The money is
of singular kind and variety, but of
little or no value now, except for curl
osities. One roll contains $50 in bills,
mostly of old state banks of Massachu-
sets; there are, however, two S. bills
on the old Eastern Bangor, one ten
dollar note of the Confederate Bank of
Richmond, Va, one 25-cent scrip of the
Corporation of Winchester, Va; one
s. bill on the Exchange Bank of Phila-
delphia; one peso Ell Banco National,
Rio de la Plata. In the other roll there
is scrip as follows: 5 cents, Veazie; %
cents, Salt Lake City; so cents, Monroe.
La, and United States scrip, two Scent,
two scent and one 1O-cent. Besides
this there is half dollar, a 81 and a 81
bill of the old Continental money.
Then there is a good modern silver
quarter, and silver pencil and gold
pen. The finder has no clew as to the
owner Of this queer collection or how
it happened to be left at her door. 1t
seems probable that it is the collection
of some numismatist, that a thief
stole it, and finding it Of no value, dis
posed of it as above. But if so, why
did he leave the quarter, the pencil and
the gold pen?
