WISE WORDS.

AS the light goes out with the e1
naustion of the oil, so fortune talls
with the cessation of human endeavor.
Poetry is the only verity-th the c1-
preston of a sound mind speaking
after the ideal, and not after the APP
parent.
A loving act does more good than b
fiery exhortation What mankind
needs is not more good takers, bur
more good Samaritans,
Upon fate and human endeavor is
suspended the issue of every under
taking but fate is plainly only the
conduct of man in a former existence.
The eyes of men converse as much

that the ocular dialect needs no dlc-

Every ship that comes to America

Guarding the Gold.

Every morning except Sunday an
ADAMS express wagon, loaded with
Dags of gold and silver, starts out from
the Adams Express company's office to
deliver the precious coins to its differ
ent owners. The gold and silver,
which is made up of all denominations,
comes principally from New York,
Washington and San Francisco, and is
consigned to the different banks and
brokers' offices about town. Some
bags contain twenty-dollar gold pieces,
while other bags are simply filed with
copper pennies.
T. wagon starts out about 9o'clock
in Il morning. and by 10 o'clock its
treasure has all been delivered. The
floor of the wagon is generally covered
with the bags, and the springs are
borne down to the axles with the pre-
cious weight Of the much-cOveted
metal. The route is down Chestnut
street; all the banks along the street
are visited, but the majority Of the
gold is unloaded after the wagon turns
into Third street. In this way mil
lions upon millions of dollars are car
ried every year from the express Office
to the bankers and brokers, without
any apparent guard against loss. The
men who ride about on the wagon
every morning are the trusted en-
ployes of the company, who have be-
come so accustomed to jerking bags of
gold about that they handle it much
the same as they would bag Of salt
or box OF merchandise.
The express company uses the ut
most precaution to guard the precious
treasure. Four men are in charge of
the wagon one man drives and two
sit on the seat with him. They are
armed to the teeth, and always on the
alert for highwaymen. The fourth
man sits on the tailboard in an ap-
parently careless manner. He is also
armed, and sees everything about him.
Beside this guard two detectives fol-
low closely behind the wagon, and
watch everybody who attempts to
dog" it. When the wagon stops to
deliver a portion of its load Of gold
the detectives are not twenty feet
away.
One man carries the bags into the
bank and the detectives guard him
while the driver and the two other
men remain quietly at their posts on
the wagon to keep off thieves. Expert
thieves, the boldest in the country, are
continually following this wagon, try
ing to devise some plan to rob it OF
the fortune it carries, but the precau,
tions of the express company have
proved too much for the daring of the
boldest highwaymen.
If the Adams Express company
send a man upstairs in their OWL
building with package of money OF
bag of gold detective is at his heels
to prevent a robbery. Oftentimes tht
man with the money doesn't dream
that the man going in the same direc
tiOn with him is one of the company'i
detectives PhilGdelphiG NelCS.

GentlemanIY Briga ads.

A Constantinople letter to the Lon
don Standard says
Mr.. Alexander Corpi, who reached
the capital this morning after twelve
days detention among the brigands in
the neighborhood of lsmidt, gives the
following narrative of his misadven-
ture lon Thursday afternoon was
giving orders for some alterations out
side the building occupied by my silk
factory, when Suddenly was sur
rounded aud seized by nine individuals
of suspicious appearance. L asked
what object they might have in secur-
ing my person, whereupon they stated
that they wanted money l remarked
that had none on me, but ii released
l would give promissory note for a
reasonable amount. This the bligands,
for such they were, declined, and finally
they hurried me off on foot to a SPOT
eight hours distant, where a hat was
ordered by the chief Of the patty. Thf
brigands then formed a council tc
decide upon the most suitable place tr
take me for the purpose Of commuEi-
eating with my family, in the near
vicinity. Ismidt was selected, as offer
ing every facility in this respect. On
Sunday, the 9TH instant, we reached
the spot agreed upon, which is situated
in a mountainous district some two
hours from the town of Ismidt. Ne
gotiations then commenced for the pur
pose of fixing the amount of ransom,
The first figure named was eJ000Q
but finally, after several days
bargaining, they consented to
take $1,000. Means were then
found to dispatch messenger
to my family with the news of my
j whereabouts and request that they
4 would forward the last named sum in
order to affect my release. According
to the agreement, | had explained in
my letter that the amount of the an.
som was to be accompanied by not
more than three men. These formal
ities being complied with, two trusted
servants of my family in charge Of the
money at length reached the scene Of
my captivity. The gold pieces were
counted. and l was declared a free
man. The captain of the band re
turned me the cash l had with me at
the time l was captured, and handed
my servants four liras for their trouble
in bringing the ransom. Indeed, from
first to last l had no reason to com
plain of my treatment. A man ser
want and woman cook were told of
for attendance on me. | had many
cha with the brigands, who were al
Greeks. They showed considerable
forethought for the welfare of tht
rural population by expressing thu
hope that my misadyenture would no
lead me to give up working the sill
factory, as such a deci lion on my part
would entail misery upon a number o
villagers who depended upon their EN-
ployment there for their daily bread
You need have no fear in future,
they added we will guarantee you
safety Before separating from tn
band we became such excellent friend
that the chief limited he had an i'm
portant capture in view, and that, i
successful, he would return the whol
of my ransom" Immediately tina
Mr.. COrpi was out of the hands of tn
brigands the Turkish troops were sen
off in pursuit and every effort wa
made to capture the band.
