LARCENY. - Saturday afternoon
two lads Of tender years, named
Will King and Jimmy Cober, stealth
lily entered, bare footed, through
the 'front.' door Of Mulhairn's tobacco
store and one of them went .behind
the counter while the other went to
the water pail which was on the
counter and took II drink Mr..
Mulb airn and the boys employed
with him were IN the factory de-
partment busily employed. The
boy ut the water pail was noticed,
but it being common occurrence
for boys to come in and get drink
no attention was paid to it. Upon
making his exit il was noticed that
the thirsty ~ urchin was accompanied
by another at the door, yet this failed
to arouse suspicion. Soon after a
customer came IN and made pur-
chase and when Mulhairn went 10 the
till for change no discovered that
his money had been disturbed and
about $500 missing. His suspicious
were rightly centered at once, and on
going TO the door to survey the
grounds and chances Of recovering
the lost lucre, observed the two boys
going into Mr.. RayIing's store.
They were Immediately brought into
the tobacco store by two OF the err,
ployes and questioned, admitting
readily that they bad taken a dollar
which was all; each accusing the
other Of committing the theft. After
asking them what they had bought
the total of purchases proved to be
over q dollar, besides the money
found in their pockets. The boys
then said they took two dollars,
then two and a half, and finally three
dollars. Deputy Sheriff Healey was
called in, took the lads in charge,
and placed them in the cooler for a
few hours. Mr.. Mulhairn has been
reimbursed through the proper
sourse, and the youngsters 30
hope are better and wiser than ever
before. The brassy efTront which
they assumed upon being cofnered
would have done credit to any old
professional purloiner.

with troublesome set of urchins,
and the sooner the check bit is appli-

foregoing account referred to
another in partners with them,
vho had gone elsewhere to ''crack

The Duke and the HOodlum.

From the San Francisco News Letter.
I. "Ihave heard great deal about hood
lums,' but have never seen one, said the
Duke of Sutherland during his visit here
to the polite clerk at the palace, @could you
send one up to my room for inspection?"
Mr. Smith who is the soul of politeness, at
once dispatched one of his sable myrmi-
dons in search Of the article in question.

in less than half an hour he retulne With

said Mike, whose cast-iron cheek

native politeness, jumped up and rang the
bell. While his back was turned Mike
skillfully helped himself to hand
full of cigars from out of box on the table,
taking at the same tine fine meerschaum
cigar-holder. The waiter soon appeared
with the drinks, and Under their soothing
influence, the .'Tar Flat Daisy" opened out.
Each word was prefaced by an oath, not
ordinary oatks, but oaths such as made
blue sha6ing round bis ugly mouth as they
chased each other into space. He also
grew SO alarmingly familiar that the duke
was glad to hand him SIS piece. and get
rid of him. As Mikes brick-colored back
hair disappeared through the door, the

that the breed was unknown in the land Of

How to Treat a Wife.

First. get q wife; secondly, be patient.
You may have great trials and sperplexities
in your business with the world, but, do
not, therefore, carry to your home cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may have
many trials, which, though Of less magni-
tude, may be hard for her to bear. A kind,
conciliatory word, q tender lock, will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all clouds
OF gloom. You encounter your difficulties
inopen air, tannedby heavens cool breezes,
but your wife is often shutin from these
reviving influences, and her healthier
spirits, lose their elasticity. But, o! bear
with her. She has trials and sorrows to
which you are a stranger. but which your
tenderness can deprive of all their anguish,
Notice kindly her efforts to promote your
comfort. Do not receive all her good Off
ces as 9 matter Of course, and pass them
by, at the same time being very sure to OBJ
serve any omission Of Whist you may con-
slider duty to you. Do not treat her with
indifference, if you would not scar and
palsy her heart, which, waterod By kind

Sec,.ulring Honey.

It is imp ortant that everything should be
in proper condition for securing surplus
honey during the present month. We ex-
pect onr largest yield Of best honey from
this tree, hence the necessity for abpndant
storing space, whether box or extracted
honey is to be secured. If box honey is
desired, supply each box with starter of
either white comb or comb foundation.
The amount of honey which can be secur-
ed by using full cards of comb foundation
will be found much greater than vixen only
starters of natural comb are used. The
very great advantage to be gained by the
use Of comb foundation, both in the brood
chamber and surplus boxes, should be in
vestigated by every bee keeper.

An American In Rome.
From the Providence Evening Journal.

EEOu Guo ffOVlQ0nCe EVolnnS JOurQal
A citizen of Providence, quarter of a
century ago, influenced by the desire to
enjoy superior educational privileges, gave
up business, home and friends here, and
took up his abode in the city of Florence,
Italy. When Rome became the capital of
Italy. he removedtto the latter city, where
he has lately become the proprietor of one
Of the finest sites in most picturesque and
a social force that shall be in accord with
its commanding position. The numerous
personal friends of Albert J. Jones will be
pleased to learn from his own words, writ
ten without the remotest idea of publica-
ton, that his ideal life had not suffered by
his foreign residence The following ex-
tract from letter dated AZ Via Trionfale,
Rome, May 2O,S 1881, was penned in reply
to definite inquiry in regard to his efforts
to convert Monte Baldnino, with it's con-
vent, into an attractive villa that shall pos
sess the appliances Of modern ci lilzation;
Il am glad you are interested to know
something more about my castle on the
hill. Instead of being behind the Vatican,
as you suppose, my hill, which is called
Monte Baldnino, is or line with the Vati-
can, about third of mile distant
in the direction of Monte Maria. My
hill, or rather series of hills( for have twelve
or fourteen acres of lanO, is more elevated
than the Vatican hill; for from some of my
high points / can look down into the pope's
garden and see him as he takes his daily
drive on the new road he has made. The
sight of this villa is one Of the most beati-
full in the neighborhood Of Rome. Down
below the city is spread cut in what seems
to be almost plain. as the famous Seven
Hills make bat slight inequalities in the
general Level. Over beyond the city, with

ence, throb with constant and sincere af-
fection for you. Sometimes yield your
wishes to hers. Her preferences may be
as strong as yours. Regard it as an indul-
gence to yourself to yield sometimes.
Think you it is not as difficult for her to
give up always? Is there not danger she
will deem you selfish? With such an opin-
ion she can not love as she might. Again:
Show yourself manly man, that your wife
may look up to you, end feel that you will
act nobly, and can confide in your judg-
