4 Plug of Tobacco.

One day last month when trade was

Within few days an old chap from back

plug of chewing tobacco. The piece
of sole leather was tied up, paid for, and
the purchaser started for home. At the
end of the sixth day he returned, look

clerk:
"'Member that terbacker I got here

Yes, sir"

Fun Ahead.

An old and partially intoxicated sailor
was brought up before Justice Wandell,
IN the Yorkville Police Court. The JUS
lice asked: s'Thomas, why do you drink
the nasty stuff"
The old sailor respectfully saluted his
Honor, and inquired of him if he meant
liquor.
"That's just what I mean," replied
the court: sit is verv nasty stuff. %
Your Honor is all wrong" pursued
the old sailor, refectively-"a all wrong"
"Look at me-" said the Justice; 81

"Was your Honor never drunk ?"
"Never in my life"
"May I be -. Well, your Honor,
you're not too old yet. There's fun
ahead for you-heaps Of fun ahead"
When the courtroom became quiet in
measure, the old sailor was discharged.

How He Got Rich,

A good old man, who is very rich now,
was very poor when he was boy. When
asked how he got his riches, he replied:
" My father taught me never to play till
my work for the day was finished, and
never to spend money till I had earned
it. If had but half an hours work to
do in day, I must do that the first
thing and in half an hour. After this
was done I was allowed to play. ] early
formed the habit Of doing every thing IN
its time, and it soon became perfectly
easy to do so. It is to this habit that I
now owe nay prosperity"

The Law of Finding.

The law of finding is this: The
finder has clear title against all
the world but the owner. The pro-
pretor of n railroad car or shop has
no right to demand the property
which may be found on his premises.
Such proprietor may make resula-
tions in regard to lost property which
will bind their employees. but they
cannot bind the public. The law of
iinding was declared by the Kings
Bench ono hundred years ago in a
case in which the facts were these:
A person found a wallet containing
q sum of money on q shop floor.
He handed the wallet and contents
to tho shopkeeper to be returned to
the owner. After three years. dur
ing which time the owner did not
call for the property the finder de-
handed the wallet aud money from
the shopkeeper. The latter refused
to deliver them up on the ground
that they were found on his premis-
es. The fiuder then sued the shop.
keeeg, and it was held as above
stated, that against all the world
but the owner, the title of finder is
perfect. And the finder has been
held to stand in place of the owner,
so that he was permitted 10 prevail
in action against a person who found
an article which the plaintiff had
originally found but subsequently
lost. The police have no special
right in regard to articles lost unless
those rights are conferred by statute.
Receivers of articles found are trus-
tees for the finder. They have no
power in the absence of special
statute to keep the articles against
the finder any more than the finder
has to retain the articles against the
owner.

The CHAIR CARRIED THE PoINr. 49,
The Secretary of the Limskiln Club
announced a communication from
Hannah Lee, o colored widow in Ra-
cine, who said that her husband

ary member Of the Club. At his
death, she was left with nothing but
feather bed aud u dog. She
had braced up and tried to get along
without asking any favors of any
body, but just now she was in q
pinch. She wanted hat to lay back
on her head, and q pair of club
skates, and. after passing several
sleepless nights, she had timidIy de-
termined to appeal to the generosity
of the Club. .,A.
''De appeal am not we'll taken,

the nature of which the doctors were
unable to determine, as there did

A person unless possessed of the
strongest nerves cannot shake hands
with her. nor can any one place his
hands in a pail of Of water with hers.
BY joining hands she can send q
sharp shock through fifteen or twen-
ty people in q room, and she possess
es all the attractions of a magnet.
If she attempts to pick up knife,
the blade will jump into her hand,
and paper of pips will hang sus-
pended from her fingers She can
not drop any small article of steel

fected with sleepiness, others are i'll

proach, but with a stroke of her

her influence, and a pet dog Of the

tized. She is one of several child
ren, none of the rest of whom show
any abnormal qualities.
