Scattering Money.

Mrs. Emma Simms. dropped a
roll of bills amounting to $1,000
ON the street in Baltimore the other
day. The money, somewhat scat
tered about the street, was picked
up by Mr.. John Myers. He remem
bered that it was the day of the
grand procession, and looked upon
the shower ofgreenbacks as a sham
or some advertising delusion; he at
once resolved to make it a complete
give-away, and handed around the
money to all who desired it with an
abandon beautiful to behold. Scenes
that were ludicrous in the extreme
ensued, though their ending was Sc
rious. The ideas of Mr.. Myers
took readily, and 5 cent cigars
were coolly lighted with $40 notes,
nearly all the money being in notes
of that denomination. Street gam
ins posted a few around on awning
posts to deceive unsuspecting
strangers. A boy sold one $40
note tor 25 cents; and it is said
$500 additional were sold for the
same amount. A lady, residing not
far away, got $40 note, which she
said she would keep in memory of
the great celebration. A friend
begged her for it that she might
frame it and keep it. and the lady
gave it tosher. Mrs. Simms, mean
while informed an officer Of her
loss. He fastened 10 the spot, land
managed to recover $3.50 Of the
amount, among it the $50 note
gotten by the lady mentioned
above. The discovery of the facts
caused CONSERVATION among those
who had 30 freely made away with
what they believed to be bogus
treasure, and much regret was ex-
pressed for the loss sustained by
Mrs. Simms. The case is decidedly
one of the most singular on recod

The Religious Card Player.


The Religious Card Player.
A private soldier by the name OF
Richard Lee was taken before the
magistrate of Glasgow, Scotland,
for playing cards during divine SER
vices. The account of it is thus
given in an English journal:
A sergeant commanded the sold
iers at the church, and when the
parson had read the prayers he
took the text. Those who had
Bibles took them out; but this sold
ier had neither Bible nor Common
Prayer Book, and pulling out a
pack of cards he spread them be
fore him. He first looked at one
card and then at another. The
sergeant of the company saw him
and said:
"Richard, put up the cards; this is
no place for them"
"Never mind that" said Richard.
When the services were over, the
constable took Richard prisoner,
and brought him before the mayor.
"Well," said the mayor, "whRt
have you brought the soldier here

church.
"Well, soldier, what have you to

the cards before the mayor, he be-

FANATICAL FEMALES.
Taught to Hold Their Tongues
by President BarriOs.

When President Barrios came4n
to power one of his first acts was
to drive the priests out OF Gsutema.
la. In his opinion they were
drones in the community, and
made drones, so he would not have
them about him. But the women,
who there, as well as everywhere
else, have most use for religion,
made great outcry about the ex-
pulsion of their priests. There
were a dozen ladies, recognized
leaders of society in Guatemala,
wealthy and prominent, who were
especially loud in their lamenta-
tions and vituperation. They
would have stirred up an insured
ton against Barrios if they could,
on account of the priests. He
stood their attacks until his pa
tience gave way. At first he simply
shrugged his shoulders, then he
knit his brows. Finally he said,
1.-THE thing must be stopped" He
had twelve single:armed high gal
lows erected in line on the plaza.
From the end of each arm he had
suspended broad shallow basket,
with q rope fastened to the bottom
like handle. Then he had those
twelve women brought to the bas-
kets, placed in them, and hoisted
into the air. AS you may imagine,
such a spectacle on the plaza at
tracted everybody. All the city
came focking to see the ladies ele-
waited into such undesirable promi
nence. And fancy, if you can, the
wild, unbounded joy of the hun
dreds of street boys when free ad-
mission was given them to swing
those baskets by the short ropes
attached to them, The little rag
mullins yelled with delight, fought
with each other to get the rope,
and exerted themselves with frenzy
to see who could toss a basket
highest. The women, standing in
the baskets and clutching the ropes
by which they were suspended,
shouted wildly with new accessions
OF terror each time fresh and vigo-
rous hands gave livlier impulse to
their wicker chariots or sent them
flying in new directions. The Assem-
bled multitude roarsd with laugh
ter and encouraged the boys When
at length President Barrios consid-
cred that their punishment was suf-
ficient, he gave a signal, the swing
ing of the baskets was stopped,
they were lowered, and the ex-
hausted, humiliated ladies were
sent in carriages to their respective
homes. The lesson had never to be
repeated. for they sought no more
to meddle with the concerns OF gov
ernment, and were careful to keep
to themselves hereafter their pri-
vate opinions of public affairs.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
DARING ATTACK on THE GLEN STA
TI0N STAGE.
A GESTLEMAN's TEAM STOPPED AND TIE
FAMILY ROBBED.

special dispatch from Glen Station, OF
the line OF the Ogdensburg road, to The
Press last evening, gives the particulars o.
u daring robbery by highwaymen on The
road to the Glen House, yesterday, aud
bold assault on the stage.
II appears that gentleman named An
drews, with his family, has been passing
some time at the Thorn Mountain House.
Yesterday he ordered round his carriage
and pair of horses, and drove over with
his family to the Glen. In the afternoon,
after brief sojourn at the Glen House, he
started on his return. Nothing especial
was noticed neither did there appear to be
any suspicious characters hanging around
at the time OF starting. Nothing out oil
the common TRANSFERRED until the carriage
neared the town line when several masked
men sprung from an ambush In the patch
OF woods. One seized the horses, aud an
other pointed u revolver at the heads oil
Mr.. Andrews and family, and compelled
them to give up $500, in money, their gold
watches and all their jewelry, when they
were allowed TO proceed on their way.
Soon AFTER the regular Glen stage, on the
way To Glen Station, came along. The
leading horses were fred 1t and the bullet
narrowly escaped them. They immediate
ly took fright, rearing and plunging, but
the driver, Mr.. Williamson. was as cool a.
cucumber and kept them under control.
Putting on the lash, the stage dashed by
the would-be robbers, and escaped them.
To his courage and skill the passengers
are indebted net only for the saving oil
their money but probably from death In
that narrow mountain road.
As soon rs the stake reached Glen Sta
ton men and teams started in pursuit oil
the robbers, but none had been captured at
last accounts.

There is no land within fifteen miles, bat
even In the widest weather the water at
this spot is comparatively calm, owing 10
the thick covering of oil which apparently
rises from the bed Of the Gulf, about eigh-
