Unclaimed baggage at Auction.
Chicago Tribune.

An auction sale of unclaimed railroad
baggage was held yesterday. The bag
gage sold consisted of $50 pieces, which
had accumulated in the baggage rooms
OF the Illinois Central railroad during
the past year, besides several gold
watches aud other articles of jewelry
left in the h nds Of conductors as Sc
curity for fare by impecunious passen-
gers. There was m0tely crowd OF
bidders in attendance, and after each
sale the check clerk wrote down such
names as "Mr Moses" Mr.. Marks"
"Eisendrath," ""Mass" and "Fasin." The
last named person has been a regular
attendant upon sales where a chance
bargain might be strIck for the past ten
years, and he is reputed to have large
barn stored full Of Junk" somewhere
on the west side, and to have grown
rich ont of the business. A rule of the
sale is that no package bought shall be
opened bv the purchaser in the store,
and the anxiety and eagerness OF mex
perienced buyers to get hold of their
purchases d take them out into the
alley, TO get .hem into express wagons
and open them we're ludicrous to behold.
Col Ellison first sold half a dozen ladies'
gold watches. a pair of diamond ear
rings and box OF medals. The watches
brought from $3.50 to Sl2 apiece, the ear
rings SIS and the medals 75 cents. The
latter were pewter, the earrings were
Brazilian pebles, and worth about So 80,
but most of the purchasers of the
watches got good bargains, some of the
time pieces being worth S35 to $40. The
ruling price for valises was 30 to - cents;
L.. L. ,lrs -. l.
unbroken trunks $3.50 to 50; chests, L.
Packing cases appeared to be favorate
articles of purchase by Mr.. Pagan, Mr..
Marks, and other experienced buyers
and they brought prices ranging from s.
to Sl2. One large trunk, said to contain
portion of John McCullough's ward
robe, was hidden by a lady for SlA75.
The fair purchaser refused to inform the
salesman whether she wanted memon-
to of the actor or was in search
of bargain in gents apparel. Some of
the packages that were opened in the
vicinity of the store disclosed unique
contents. One young man found his
New Years box TO contain a lot of
frilled and rufiled garments that had
the appearance Of being a part of a

opened long box and found a human
skeleton all nicely wired together, ready
to adorn a museum or some doctors

Tho Pocket Photographic Instrument.
n. Y. Correspondence Boston Gazette,


Have you heard of the instantaneous
Photographic instrument? II is a great
invention. The instrument is no larger
than well filed pocket book, yet is 50
complete that every mau can be his own
photographer without any trouble. II Q
process of taking the picture is as simple
as writing. You simply hold the instru
ment before the object TO be taken, al d
there it is. ! believe the policemen OF
London are are armed with them, and
they fash their camera on rogue with
rs much ease as you would dark I'm
tern. No matter how swiftly an object
is moving, il can le taken. j know OF
one er rtiiIsia-tic nan who claims that
they will be the reporters note book OF
the future. For instance, he is writing
an article on the Brooklyn bridge, and
as he writes he uses his camera. When
he goes home he develops his plates and
consequently has correct picture Of the
scene before him. Indeed he never
goes out ofthe house without his instru-
ment in his pocket and he keeps his
friends supplied with pictures. I am q
little afraid of the abuse Of this inven-
ton. An unprincipled rascal, seeing a
pretty girl on the avenue, can whip out
his camera, and have her face a. once
trans ferred to the plate. The instru-
ments are quite cheap-Sl0 believe II is
they cost-so here is fun for the million.
How pleasant when taking a walk in the
country to reproduce the landscape for
ones own qualification or that OF those
at home. You see lamb frisking by
its mothers side, and in a moment, while
its heels sre kicking in the air, you have
it oown before you If was going 10
travel in Europe, | should certainly take
a pocket camera along with me. ANY

twinkling Of an eve. | have seen pic

WEAPONS FOR WOMEN.
Washington Ladies who are Experts in
the Use of Firearms.

Yesterday afternoon an elegant car.
riage, drawn by span of grays. stopped
in front Of an establishment near the
corner Of Tenth and ID streets. The bust
ness OF the house is confined almost
exclusively TO the sale of firearms, and
some Of the finest patterns of Remington
pistols can always be seen in the show
windows. The carriage waited until an
dHqcAe of the house came out, and after
being informed of the wishes Of the lady
occupant of the carriage, he re-entered
the house, and returned in few mo-
ments with several handsomely mounted
pistols in his hand, which he placed in
the lap Of the lady. She proceeded to
examine each and all of them, and in
making the examination handled the
weapons with as much ease and skill as
an inhabitant Of tho border. whose life
mainly depends upon his marksmanship
and the ready use of the weapon which
accompanies him always. The lady
seemsd perfectly acquainted with the
= cde Of loading, and expressed her
preference for the double action weapon.
The prices were aBked, and without much
ceremony she selected one that suited
her fancy, paid the cash for the cleaning
instrument, and the black Jehu drove
away.
A Post reporter who was standing a
few feet distant and witnessed the trans.
action, followed the salesman in and
asked him il many OF The firms patrons
were ladies.
"We sell 4 good many pistols to ladies'

FRANCE, for 1852, appropriates for the
support and advancement agriculture,
in round numbers, s7SO,OOO. This grant
includes agricultural education, expenses
for breeding studs and keeping up $500
stations, and inspection of woods and
forests.
An itinerant teacher of agriculture hes
been appointed for Corinthea, Austria,
in the person of Herr Ernst kramar,
formerly a master in the High School of
Agriculture, and assistant master in the
agricultural chemical laboratory at Vi
emma. The said gentleman will give the
peasant population lectures on agricul-
ture; will inspect nursery gardens, and
will be ready to instruct the village
sohoolmaster in the PRINCIPLES Of agri'
culture.
THE crop of flaxseed grown in the
United States, in 1881, is reported at
100000 bushels against S,75O,0O0 bush
els in 1880 The range of yield per acre
was four to twelve bushels, or two
thirds an average crop. Unfortunately,
in connection with the growing of this
crop, it is sad to say that four.iifths of
the lint bearing straw is burned, or left
on the ground to waste and rot Az the
same time, we send te India for jute
butts, which are used By us in manulacl-
uring, for identically the same purposes
our flax lint would supply.
A RECENT report of the Connecticut
State board of health, mentions remar-
bable series of lead poisoning in Fairfield
county, of that state. The source of the
poison was finally traced to the barrels
which the thrifty farmers had used for
the storage Of cider. The barrels mad
been used for holding linseed oil. Some
of the litharge oxide f lead employed
in preparing tle oil had been deposited
on the inside of the barrels as a sedi.
mentary coating, which the cider bad
dissolved Obviously the dissolved had
increased when the cider was kept long
enough te turn to vinegar. In this case,
as in 50 many others, the evil wrought
want of thought was serious and fatal.

Shaving Ofa Run.
London Society.

In times Of severe panic people have
been known to refuse Bank of England
notes and prefer local notes. In country
districts of Scotland the old one-pound
notes were greatly preferred to sover-
egns. 1t is said that when there was a
run upon the Bank of England in 1868
the device was resorted to of paying the
country people in shillings and six
pences One acute Manchester firm
painted all the premises profusely, and
many dapper gentlemen were deferred
from approaching the counter. A story
is told of Cunliile Brooks bank. When
there was an impetuous and unrcasoning
rush for gold, Mr.. Brook obtained a
number CT sacks of meal, opened them
at the top, put good thick layer of coin
upon the contents, then placed them I'M
tied where the glittering coins would be
manifest to all observers. One bank
procured number of people as conied.
crates to whom they paid gold, then
slipped around again to back door and
refunded it, thus the effect Of Il stage
army was produced. At another bank
the chief cashier himself examined every
note with the most searching scrutiny,
holding it to the light, testing the sigma
ture, and masi ing believe that, on account
of alarm as to forgery, there was need of
the most scrupulous care. When he had
completed his pretended examination,
he handed the note to one of his subor-
dinates very deliberately, with, in slow
and measured terms, "You may nay it."
Other plans Were TO pay money very
languidly, counting it twice over, so as
to be sure the sum was right, and 10 give
sovereign short, SO that the customer

a pile of gold upon the top after the
manner of the fruit exposed to sale at
street corners in summer. At another
the coin was heated in shovels over the
fire in the parlor behind and handed out
as "ns W" at temperature of 800 Fab
renheit. The clerk IN charle, accommo-
dating his phrlseology to the occasion,
cried out loudly every half hour, Now,
Jim, do be gettia' on with them soyer.
eiyn; folks is waitin' for their money"
Coming, mir, coming was the ready
reply, and the "folk" thought the power
OF production boundless. IL is always
the simple minded and uniformed who
constitute on such OCCASIONS the chief
portion of the throng, Just as the people
who 90 to extremes are the half educat-
ed ones. The crowd were easily persu'
aded-the proof that all was righ- was
burning their fingers.
