IN the telegraph strike investigation
by the Senate Sub Committee in New York
on the 18th, it was brought out that the
right of way would be an important item in
the construction of a now line. The West
ern Union Company had acquired rights
along most of the railroad lines and it was
growing harder each year to get into cities
where progress was regularly impeded by
many lawsuits and police regulations.
The business failures throughout the
United States and Canada for the seven
days ended ON the 18th numbered 10, as
compared with 1S2 of last week. The dis
tribution was rs follows: New England

The Audacity Of Crime.

The audacity with which daylight
street robberies are committed, and at
tempted, is one of the new phases OF
crime. These daylight robberies,
strange as it may appear, are = growing
in favor with expert and daring Grim
inals. They are attended by great
risk, of course, but when Boldly at
tempted are generally successful and
when the victim chances to be a bank
messengersOr the clerk of a business
house on his way to the bank, the haul
is enough to set up the thief for life.
A case surprisingly daring occurred at
Hoboken. opposite New York, few
days ago. Mr. Thomas |. Smith, cash
ier of a bank in Orange, N. j.. had
gone to New York and drawn S12, ,000
He placed the money in hand-sachel,
and crossing the ferry to Hoboken,
made his way to the cars followed by
three men whom he observed without
taking any particular notice of them.
They followed him to the middle of a
well-filled car, and in the presence of
the other passengers, one struck him
repeated blows on the head with a bar
of lead, while the others attempted
to wrest the sachel from his
grasp. He held tightly to it,
however, Notwithstanding the in
iuries he received, and the robbers,
finding the game wasup, had flee to
the wagon which they had in waiting
near the station. They were hotly pur-
sued, and all captured. One of them
proved to be the ex-policeman, Nugent,
who was officer on the beat in which
the Manhattan Bank is situased ON the
night of October 27, 1873, when it was
robbed of S2,70O,0o0. He was sns-
pected of complicity in that famous
transaction and in several other similar
ones, and was dismissed the force. He
is d tlaring rascal, and so are the two
confederates associated with him in the
Hoboken affair
The exploits of mounted brigands and
bank robbers in the West appear to
have fascinated the professional thieves
/ all over the country, and opened up to
them a new tactic in robbery in which
audacity is the chief element. 1t is GER
tain that daring crimes in broad day
light and on overcrowded streets are
becoming aIarmingly frequent. Bank
messengers, clerks Of business houses,
paymasters and others, in the habit Of
| carrying parcels of money from one
| point to another, are the special prey Of
these bold municipal highwaymen.-'St.

Happiness.

The chief object of some peoples
lives is to obtain happiness. They think
of nothing else. 1t is the burden of
their conversation. And they are spe-
cially anxious in their quest at this
season of the year. They give the most
anxious consideration to this subject.
You would be surprised to see how
much it worries and perplexes them.
For it is great undertaking. this pre-
pairing for happiness. And that brings
out one rather remarkable phase of this
matter, which is that happiness is still
in the future. These persons are al
ways ''to be blessed. The reality for
ever eludes them. But their ardOr is
not to be damped They viii have
good time when they get al5 .fned for
years. and they are never fixed just
right.
We said it took much preparation
If you ask such persons where to find
happiness, they will invariably. look
away from self and away from home.
To have that wonderfully good time
they must seek other scenes and new
faces. Generally the amount Of happi-
ness expected Is exactly proportional
to the distance to be travelled, and the
size of the company into which they will
enter. + .l
If you tell them of pure, simple
homes, into which great deal of hap
piness enters, they win not believe it.
They have only pity for the stay-at-
homes. They don't sees how they can
do it. For their part it would be too
tedious for anything But, then, they
do not believe in vegetating; nor in
these poor marrow, provincial lives.
They talk familiarly of the Important
streets and buildings of great CITIES
They know famOuS preachers, but are
more taken with If ling actors. They
our day, and bored him insuffera-
bly,, too. They have seen the things
most talked of; those which are all
the rage, you know. They are full
of superficial knowledge. And in
some quarters pass off quantities of
chaff for pure gold. But ask them for
real knowledge and you will get little
enough.
These people viii be found in num-
bers among the multitudes now seeking
the mountains and the seaside. They
will take everything hard and make
life less pleasant for all about them.
They will find fault with about every
thing and everybody. The scenery is
so tame, the food and rooms far from
right, and the people so different from
oar set, you know. And so they return
home unsatisfed and unhappy.
Their philosophy is all wrong. Hap
| piness is not to be obtained in this way.
There are multitudes in sthe mountains
and the seaside getting any amount OF
happiness, but they do not belong to
| the class named above. And there are
far greater multitudes at home in city
and country, busy with the cares and
duties of life, and yet getting a. great
deal of happiness out of life. The hap
| piness lies near home, and mainly with
ourselves. Oh, hard worked father, as
well as mother, feeling troubled be-
cause you can not 90 away for a vaca-
ton, you may get a great deal more en-
| ioyment right at home than mostof the
uneasy, flying multitudes. Get the
most sweetness and Joy out of each
day and YOU Will have little reason te
regret not leaving home this summer
in questrof happiness. Golden Rule.

The Boy.

Why is it that the :" human boy
from the age of one to one hundred
wears, SO dotes upon noise? What
wondrous inner mechanism of the male
sex can it be which receives as sweet
perfume the odors of gunpowder, and
finds tender and satisfying sustenance
upon the widest, piercingest noises
possible to the human lungs and
iarynx! I suppose it must be the idea
of power which so captivates them.
For it is only an explosive sound which
Is capable of inspiring to the uttermost
the rejoicing soul of the dominant sex.
The sound Of the AK, the shrek of the
handsaw, even the gentle click of the
hoe, never awakens such thrill in the
boyish soul that you can not separate
him from them, without tearing tie boy
in two; but let ire-engine dash down
the street, or a fre-cracker offer the
blue smoke of its pipe of (anything but)
peace, and the boy gravitates as ire
sistibly as Newton's 5 apple. Something
that VIII go; something that can be
made to go fast; something which there
may be some way of making it 90 fast
er, wakens an unfiagging zeal, an un-
quenchable endeavor in the masculine
breast; and as long as there is still
faster, actual or possible, so long you
