The WeStpOrt Bank RObbery-LOSs
 About @4.3O0.

The officers of the bank after adjusting their books and deposits find missing about $3, 700. which with the damage done to the building will make the total loss not far from $4, 1900. Conductor Hunt reports that one of the five men who got on his train at Westport on the morning of the robbery stepped of on to the depot platform at Stamford and watched his movements at that point very closely, probably expecting he would receive tele- gram from Westport, while the other four were watching their accomplice from the car windows. The bank is now guarded at night by two heavily armed watchmen. Had the Stamford telegraph office been open it is pos sible the burglars might have been secured.
 No clue, however, has as yet been obtained as to who they were or as to their whereabouts.

Lost Countries Found by Coins.

In citing the historical information
Gerivable from coins, the geographical
facts we acquire from them are of equal
Importance. A case was stated some
time ago how an island of the Egean,
which had been lost, was discovered by
means of n coin (the piece not bigger than
a hal&-dime), and how recent soundings
proved the existence of this isle. There
was a lost city which owes place to a
coin. For over q thousand years no
one knew where Pandosia was. His
tory told that at Pandosia King Pyrrhus
collected those forces with which he
overran Italy, and that he established a
mint there; but no one could put their
finger on Pandosia. Eight years ago a
coin came under the eye Ola numismatist.
There were the letters, Pandosia, in
scrihcd on it. but still better there was an
emblem Indicative OF a well.known
river, the Crathis. Then everything was
revealed with the same certainty as if
the Piece had been an atlas, and Pam
dosia. the mythical city, was at once
given its proper position, Bruttlum
Now, a coin may be valuable for artistic
merit, but when ittelucidates Il doubtful
paint in history or geography its worth
is very much enhanced. This silver
coin, which did not weigh more than a
quarter of a dollar, because it cleared up
the mystery of Pandosia, was worth to
the FIritish museum $1,000, the price
t,at they paid for it.

Burial In NaDles.

A Naples correspondent writes: Ar
rived at the gateway we were told by
the old "custode that the public is no
longer admitted TO assist at the funerals.
but 1 have IN order from the project"
"That alters the case" he said, as he
opened the door. For the last twenty
years every time I have visited this hor-
rible spot I have been told that new
land has been bought, and that the old
Campo s'snto is to be closed. But all
that has been done is this: Irritated by
the repet ted protests of the Italians from
the other provinces and of foreigners,
tie authorities have shut out the public
from q spectacle that is as difficult as il
is loathsome to describe. The enormous
c~hurchyard is divided into 1865 squares;
in each square u stone with an iron ring
in the center closes up q separate hole,
which is reopened on the same day
every successive year. Flanking the
church OH the left side of the yard are a
lot of boxes fixed in the wall, which,
opening downward, serve rs temporary
collins. in these were nine babies ..nd
little children, each with a flower in its
mouth. And In Ralale?" l asked.
The Rafale used to give the little corpses
each q kiss, to send them more quickly
to paradise. "Oh, we don't have her
now, rs the children don't get buried
until morning" AS he spoke, Up came
the Royal Albergo del Poveri. The flap
of the car fell backward, a leaden tray
such as is used tor transporting slaugh-
tered oxen, was dragged out, and the
body of q man dressed in natures cloth
ing, was taken up head and heelsand
flung into a box by the church wall.
Next came the carrozzome of the
municipality, all gilt and %splendor, like
the lord mayors carriage, and out of it
was taken q corpse-this time with some
clothes on it. "He is q particulars"
said the guardian. And it appeared that
he had had the fortune to die among his
own people. Presently the priest ap-
pearcd, and hole No. 2l2 was opened.
The oarticolare was throw n into a zinc
box, which, by means OF a crane, was
liiLed over the open hole and lowered
down. You heard q "tonfo;" the zinc
box came up empty; the p%articolare has
gone TO his last resort on the top of last
years skeletons So for the rest Of the
corpses, male and female. Then came
the car of the Incurabili, with the hashed
members of the human forms which had
rendered their last service to humanity
on the dissecting table of the hospital.
These were pitched into the hole on top
Of the rest; and above these, tomorrow
morning, would repose the little dead
n whose mothers had placed a flower
in their mouths! "Basta!" said my
companion. And it will probably sat
isfy the veriest skeptic rs to the miseries
to which the poor Of Naples are subject
to visit the Campo Santo Vecchio any
day in the year at six o'clock p. NJ.

made that arrangement when we were

first wife died he came tu me and asked
me to marry him. John Henry said
I, you ought to be ashamed of your

Beau Brummell.

George Brummell, better known as
Beau Brummcll, was born in ITS, in
herited q portion of 100000 which he
ran through, and in 1916 fled from his
creditors to France, where he spent the
rest of his days. He had been the friend
of the Prince of Wales, afterward George
w., but quarreled with him. At their
last interview Brunmell had the i'm
pudence to tell the prince to ring the
bell, which the latter did, only to direct
the servant who answered it to show
MIR. Brurumell 20 bis carriage. In a re-
view of a recent life of Brummell, by
Captain Jesse, the New York Sun says
His close Of life realized the most de-
ploratle pictures of those satirists who
have warned mankind against prayer
for multitude of days. Poverty, disease,
idiocy, and a paralysis Of the bowels,
Captain Jesse pursues through their
minute details with q result at once
mournful and mirthful. After some
time he was taken TO the Bon Sau-
veur,"a religious asylum for the insane.
There he died on March 80, 1910, his
last acs exhibiting, whether consciously
or accidentally, all his former sense Of
prcpriety. He turned his face to the
wall, SO rs to be hidden from the attend
ants on the other side, and in that posi-
ton he expired.
Though Brummell had the reputation
of a wit, he exhibited very little real
wit. Like Theodore Hook, and perhaps
most other reputed wits of society, his
mind was OF the buffoon cast, redeemed
from tuffoonery only by reserve n
z-...k- What TNh~cNn co No IF TNnn
Brown is not far from the truth respect
ing the class we speak of: The whole
animation and point Of these comp osi-
lions arises from q p%rotusion Of !udlcrous
and affected comparison" In other
words, from exaggeration so great as to
startle. Such was Brummell's reply to
the beggar who solicit d charity,'if
only q half penny" my good fellow,
I have heard of the coin, but | never
had one; there is q shilling for you.
When asked, during a bad summer II
he had ever seen such a one, he replied:
eyes, last winter" which is O the same
character. Sometimes the mere impu-
dence of the deed or word produced the
same effect or surprise. Once at a party
he asked an acquaintance with a great
air OF curiosity who that ugly man near
the chimney piece might be. why
surely, Brummell, you know him; that
is the master of the house." NO."
replied the unmoved cornet; chow
should IP l was never invited" He
does not appear to have been good at
retort; perhaps he had prudence enough
to avoid the risk of having to make one.
But the following approaches the
repartee: A doctors wife at Caen tried
hard to get him to her house. Walking
one afternoon with O friend, they passed
through an archway under the lady's
balcony, in which she was. Leaning
over, she accosted the beau earnestly,
requesting him to walk up and take tea.
Madam" said he to the medico's wife
in the calmest and most digni6ed man.
ner, "you take physic, you take a walk,
you take q liberty, but you drink tea"

this very morning that l was recalling
the scene"
"And don't you recognize me-" she
said, smiling up in his face, as she drew
hack tie dropping Curls, Il am little
Mary!"
He stood in b%ewildered silence; all of
a sudden the truth seem to break upon
him, and he laid his hand upon her head
with a fearful blessing land your
mother, my child?"
She has seen dead for years but it is
my dearest task to be the instrument of
her gratitude. Here is the note you
indorsed; my husband has given it to
me-see"
A small spirit-lamp was burning in
one of the inches; she held the bit of
paper over the flame until it fell in a
cloud of light ashes upon the floor.
"Well?"
Mrs. Raynesford met her husband at
the door the instant his crutches sound
ed on the little graveled path.
why don't you speak? OF course l
know you have nothing but bad news 10
tell, but l might as we'll hear it at once.
Have you seen the gentleman? What
did he say?"
Hannah" said old Job Raynesford,
slowly folding up his gloves, edo you
remember the ten dollars / gave that
poor wandcrer, a score of years ago?'
"Why, of course / do; didn't | re-
mind you of it not twelve hours since?
What has that to do with our troubles,
pray"
Just this-to-day I received pay
ment. principal and interest"
"What do you mean, Job Haynes
ford?"
The little golden-haired child that
sat beside our hearthstone, that June
evening, is Lawyer Everleish's wife, and
I have scen her burn the note that has
hung like q milestone around my neck
for lears. She said that she was only
d~ischarging q sacred debt of gratitude;
but heaven knows I have looked for no
such reward"
There was 3 moments silence. The old
man was bordering over the past, and
Mrs. Raynesford was so taken by sur
prise that she could not speak.
"And now, wife, what have you got
to say about my financial mistakes?"
said Job. archly.
Mrs. Raynesford had no argument
suited to the exigencies of the case, so
she very wisely s~aid-nothing.
