Thieves Nailed Up in a Car.

WHEN the 10 o'clock incoming train
of the Hudson River Railroad stopped
at Tarrytown yesterday morning, the
conductor, John Burke, discovered that
the hasp on the door of one car was
broken. He called brakemen, and,
on examination, found several other
cars broken open. Sliding back the
door of he last car, which contained
potatoes, ne saw three heads. He closed
the door quickly, and, sending for a
hammer and nails, nailed it up securely.
The train then proceeded to this city,
and at Fifty-frst street it stopped and
was boarded by Policeman Tennis and
Tracy. They were informed by the
conductor that three burglars were
nailed up in one of the cars. At the
depot in Thirty-third Street it was found
that the prisoners had cut hole over a
foot large in the side OF the car with
knives, thus hoping to escape. 1t took
the officers over an hour to release
them from the car, so firmly had it
been fast ened. A crowd of over thou
sand perons followed the trio to the
TwentyNecond Precinct Station-house.
There they described themselves as
George Ashley and Thomas Ashley, OF
Greenbuh, N. Y, and John Burke, Of
East Alt my. Thomas was only thir-
teen years of age, but the other two
were young men. They are suspected
of being members of band of car
thieves.--NeW York Herald.

The Origin of the ShylOck Legend.

PROFESSOR GRAETz, the eminent
Jewish scholar, has written a series of
articles on the origin of the Shylock le-
gend, the first of which appears in the
August number of the German RepoSi-
tori for J4daic History and Science.
The first trace of it, says the author, is
to be found in Herbers' French versifi-
cation of Dolopathos, or the Seven
Wise Men of Rome,'' made for one of
the Kings of France. There we find
that rich vassal of knight, one whose
legs had been cut off by the order of his
feudal superior, offered the latter loan
of 100 marks, on the condition that if
this amount were not paid by fixed
time the vassal should have the right of
cutting out piece of the knights flesh.
The knight having succeeded in his
purpose with the money, forgot alto
gether to pay it. The vassal out of re-
venge insisted upon his right. The
Judge, who was none else than the
knights bride in disguise, pronounced
that the flesh should be cut out, but no
more and no less than stipulated, other
wise the creditor would forfeit his life.
Herbers makes the remark that this is
an old story, which the monk Jehans de
Haute-Selve translated into Latin. The
same story has passed into the "Gesta
Romanorum in another form. The
first writer who introduced a Jew of
Mestre as the creditor was Ser Giovanni
Eorentino, in his collection of tales en-
titled "Pecorone," composed in 1873.
shakespeare, says Professor Graetz, has
undoubtedly made use of Pecorone,"
rs is admitted by nearly all Shakespeare
scholars. Professor Delius, of Bonn,
gives in his edition of "The Merchant
IF Venice" an English translation of
"Pecorone," which Shakespeare might
have known. The difference, however,
that in Pecorone the Jew is of Mes
f-e, near Venice, and Shylock, of Venice,
il explained by Professor Graetz by the
:~lpposition that Fiorentino avoided Civ
ing offensc to the Jews of Venice, where
very probably rich community existed
in the fourteenth century, while Shaks-
peare chose Venice as famous town
instead of the obscure Mestre 1t is
curious enough that the Shylock legend
is also in Eastern literature, if Malone
may be trusted. Whether the origin of
the legend is Eastern or Western opin
ions vary.-Neso York Graphic.

The Goldfish and the CIam-A Fable.

A GOLDFISH was one day sailing around
in search of some one who might be in
clined to religious dispute, when he
came across Clam. That was in the
days when Goldfish put on heap of airs
over the Clam tribe, and this particular
fish stuck up his nose at that particular
Clam and began:
Here you are, grubbing away on
this same old sand-bank for a living,
while l have journey over thousand
miles in the last four weeks"
81 am quite content" replied the
Clam, 81 am rather near-sighted, slow
on foot, and Nature did not intend me
to travel far. Neither of us makes more
than living, and am satisfied if you
are"
"Yes, but you have such an outland-
ish shape" sneered the Cod. "Why,
there's neither head, nor tail, nor legs,
nor arms to you. Your eyes are scarcely
to be seen, and one little grin for a cent
would split your whole face OPEN"
"My eyes are plenty large enough to
see that no two fish in the ocean agree"
tartly replied the Clam, "and, seeing
this, have no cause to smile. What
YOU say about my form is true, but
make good chowder, for all that, and l
have no bones to trouble the Threats of
humanity"
"Weli, I'm thankful that l wasn't
born to begin and end my days in sand
bank. l go everywhere. take in all
the free lunches. Small fish fear me,
and big ones can't catch me. See how
glide around"
The Cod took circle around to show
off, stood on his head, fourished his
tail, and then asked:
Can any of the Clam family do half
of that?"
GAS said BEFORE" replied the Clam,
"we were not cut out for either orators
or acrobats. What can do try to do
well. What / can't do let alone and
don't worry over"
At that moment fsh-hook nicely
baited dropped down between them.
"Now, if you only had a
little more mouth you could
get enough at one gulp to last
you all day." remarked the Cod as he
eyed the bait. "As it is, you may stand
by and see me take in that banquet.
Just see what mouth will do for one in
this world"
He opened his mouth, made dive for
the bait, and was about to wink at the
Clam with his left eye when he was sud-
denly pulled out of the water and land
ed in a boat.
"I think" unused the Clam as he
closed his shell, "that it is great deal
nicer to be Clam on a sand bank than
a Cod in fish boat, but Ill be 'open'
to argument next flood time"

An Egg i'm a Pocket

A WEEK or two since one of the SUI
perintendents of the hands engaged at
the rock quarry, about three miles from
Rock Point, in Fender County found the
egg of terrapin concealed beneath
fragment of rock. He secured the egg
and handed it to Mr.. Thomas Williams,
Chief Superintendent, for examination
Mr.. Williams, being busy at the time,
put the egg in his pocket until he could
spare the time to constitute himself an
Investigating committee " on the sub:
ject of terrapin eggs. Being thus pigeon
holed, in ACCORDANCE with general prlni,,

after the lapse of many days, and was
then only brought to notice by search

usually carried there, when he discoy-

How a Kindly Lady Befriended a
Lonely Girl.

THERE are few points in the city
where more curious sights can be seen
than at the Union Depot, where the
hub.bub and rush is never ended. One
of these occurred few evenings ago.
Trains were arriving and departing and
the engines were switching about the
yards. The platform was crowded
with passengers and their friends. Just
inside the door of the baggage-room,
near the east end of the depot building,
sat young girl about ten years of age,
neatly but not costly attired in deep
mourning dress. She sat upon a coffin
and was crying bitterly. All the passers-
by, who happened to look into the room,
saw her, but none paid any further at
tention or made any effort to satisfy
their curiosity more than to inquire of
by-standers who knew no more than
themselves. Among those at the depot
was lady who keeps store at No. S26
North Fourth Street. The lady APP
preached the girl, who was an utter
stranger, and asked her name and the
cause of her grief. Seemingly surprised
at the kindly inquiry, the girl looked
up and said: "My name is Annie Nc.
