Tom Thumb Defeats Campanimi at
Billiards.

An interesting and unique game of bill
llards was played at the Lindell Hotel,
ST. Louis, Mo-. between General Tom
Thumb, the Lilliputian, and Signor
Campanini, the great tenor. Across the
table, all that was visible of Campanini's
contestant was hat pair of eyes and
two hands, and the game attracted the
attention of everybody at the hotel The
tenor played earnestly, but seemed to en-
Joy the curious method by which the Lii
liput secured his points. Campanini natu-
rally converses in a loud tone, and in the
excitement of the game his full rich
notes resounded through the corridor.
The General grew somewhat irritated at
the excited playing of the Italian, and
comments on the game, given in his
weak, piping voice, were humorous in
the extreme. General Thumb took fire.

made numerous laughable observations

time the General made desperate effort
to reach across the table, when Mr..
Charles Mapleson stepped forward and
offered to lift him up. Then the Lilliput
laid down his cue and piped out:
''Let me alone. sir. can reach as far
as you can. Who is playing this game
anyhow"
Fifteen r shouted Campauini
"ThAt makes three times the bloody
Italian has said 'fefteen' said Thumb.

Thus the game proceeded, to the inf
mite amusement of the bystanders, and
General Tom Thumb was found TO be
the winner.

A Singular Death-BIOW.

A few days ago at Osnaburg, Ohio,
Lincoln Murphy, aged about twenty
one, Daniel Rice, eighteen years or over,
and several friends, worthy young men,
were standing together talking on timely
topics. The Sullivan Ryan match and
physical development were broached
among other things, and Murphy play
fully remarked to Rice, "Strike me on
the breast. and see how hard yon can
strikeP Rice. in response. struck him
moderate blow on me breast, barred
to HIM, renn.:.Ilking, "That wasn't a
very nard blow, was it?" where
upon Murphy smilingly answered, mo,
it wasn't" But then Rice and his friends
were surprised to see him fall to the
ground. and Mortified on picking him up
to find him in his death throes, the grim
monster claiming the playful, smiling
young man, apparently in the prime of
life, in very few minutes. 1t is sup
posed that death was precipitated by the
blow, because of heart disease, as 1t is
now supposed Murphy was afflicted. The
greatest excitement and sympathy is
caused IN the community because of this
affair. Rice is held for examination, but
it is not feared by his friends that the re-
suit will be other than exoneration. He
spends his time bewailing the sad affair.

How NICE 1T WOULD BE.-Commer-

give Canada a market of SO 600, 900 of
people. right alongside of her borders,
without any custom house or other re-

business purposes, we should be one

from Mexico to the North pole without
transhipment of cars. Property in Can

cent Our cities and towns would be
dotted with manufactures, to keep at
home the population now seeking en-
ployment across the lines. Our farmers
would receive for their produce the

ported to the United States, and which
amounts to millions of dollars. Politi.

Good Bye, Fash Boys.

CnGcQgO IT1OUne.
The ingenuity of the American inven-
tor is daily exemplified at Seas store, on
State street, in the operation of Lamson's s
patent automatic cash carrier, an arrange
ment which does away with the cash
boys and girls. Each clerk in the store
has hollow wooden ball marked with
number. These balls open in the centre
by one twist, the money and check are
put inside and held by springs, so there
will be no rattling, and the clerk puts
the ball in little elevator above her
head and pulls string. This lifts the
elevator, and the ball is thrown off into
a sort of elevated railway, with an
incline toward the cashiers desk,
which is situated in the middle of the
first floor, about six feet below the cell
ing. When the balls reach the cashier
they are opened, the tickets are taken
out, the change is made, and the balls
put on lower railway, which inclines
toward the clerks. The balls are of diff
ferent sizes, the smallest belonging to
the clerks at the greatest distance from
the cashiers desk. When a ball reaches
the clerk to whom it belongs it touches a
spring which operates switch, and the
ball falls into socket in front of the
clerk. She opens it, takes out the
change, and the work is done. The
small balls pa9s under the springs, and
are not dropped until they reach their
destination. Every two clerks have a
single elevator, and their are forty balls
and twenty stations on the first floor
Change is made in about thirty sec
onds and an expense of SIS per day is
saved. Besides this there is no noise,
and the store is not crowded by yelling
cash boys. The arrangement is not un,
slightly, but is rather an ornament to the
store, as the little railway is constructed
by bright brass wires and ebony. To
patent on the arrangements was allowed
in December last and was adopted by
Mr. se:s. about month ago. 1t is truly
a wonderful invention, and will soon be
introduced in a number of other Chicago
stores by the gentleman who contols the
patent, q. M. Holbrook, formerly a Con-
gregational minister in this city. What
is now needed is something to deal with
parcels after similar fashion, and it is
believed that it will be forthcoming.

NEWARK, n. j., March 3-Stephen H.

ting Cashier Baldwin IN misapplying the
funds Of the bank and making false entry
in the books. He will give bail before
United States Commissioners Patterson,

was arrested are voluminous, and charge
that the books of the bank showed loans TO
Fish and Hatch, amounting to about So GOO,
600; Il at the directors suspected that all
was not right, but that COndiet assured
them that Il was all right, and that they
were loans made by President
Halsey, Cashier Baldwin and him
self without the formal action of
the board. when, in fact, no such loans
were made at all, and all the entries were
made to cover up Nugent's distractions.
The affidavit also shows that CoUdict was
fully informed OF the discrepancies in
NuSent's account and bad figures and de
tails given him by clerks in the bank in
October snd November 1880.
