A WagOnlOad OF Dollars.

The vaults of the sub-Treasury are
over-stocked with silver, and General
Edwards, couple of days ago, de-
termined to move portion of his stock
to the Safe Deposit Company. Ac-
cordingly, about two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, an express wagon backed up
in front of the main entrance to the in
surance building, and three officers, de-
tailed for the service, took position near
it. A gang of colored laborers with
hand-barrows, were then put into serv-
ice, and, for half hour, they passed
in and out, carrying at each trip one
or two white duck bags, on whose sur
face were plainly outlined the big silver
dollars which formed the contents.
Each bag contained about one thousand
of the coins, and two of the bags were
about as much as any one man was
capable of carrying. The line OF car
riers were under surveillance of de-
tectives from the moment they took up
their loads at the door of the vaults
on the main floor, until they deposited
them on Che rear end of the wagon,
where two clerks were keeping tally.
Quite crowd collected to witness this
great volume of precious metal, and
many of the expressions of the darkies
and of the passers-by were amusing.
When ninety sacks had been loaded
into the wagon, representing ninety
thousand dollars, the big springs were
very much fiattcned and the vehicle
creaked.-St. Louis Republican.

MalaprOpisms.

No malaproplsms are cOmmoner thai
the often misused words circumstance
and incident, both being written in
differently as signifying mere matters OF
fact. Whether "a circumstance" is, il
any case, an allowable expression
may be doubted. Circumstances stand
around; and any one thing that stands
around, unless it be a ring-fence or a
fog, is hardly conceivable as posi-
bility But the gravity of error lies in q
distinction less captious. A quarrel or
accident in the street is not ''circum-
stance;" but it may be explained or
excused or accounted for by circum-
stances. A fire breaks out in building
and burns it to the ground. This is not
an ''incident;" it is fact. If anybody
were to Jump out of a window, while the
fire was raging, that would be properly
described as an incident And again, if
the supply of water were to fail, if the
turn-cock were slow or quick in coming,
if the engines were early or late, any of
these things would be circumstances,
for they would surround the fact and
modify its results. "Effiuvium," with
its plural, is noun often misapplied,
and yet more frequently restricted to
one of its many applications. BY
"effluvia" is vulgarily meant evil odors,
and, of course, an effluvium may be an
outflow of foul air. But it may just as
as well be stream of pure water. Many
writers employ the adjective "sumptu-
airy" as if it belonged exclusively to-
dress, whereas it may relate to all mat.
tiers of luxurious living; and if the ole
sumptuary laws should be revived they
might reach the epicures who waste
their patrimony on pate de toie gras,
opera boxes, horses, carriages, jewels
and rare wine, as well as the extrava.
giant wearers of costly attire. "Deci.
mate" is a verb which, with its adiec-
tive particle, 'decimated," is ludic-
rously mistaken. It's original signif-
canoe was grave and often terrible; for
it meant no less than taking the tenth OF
mans substance, or shooting every
tenth man in muntinous regiment, the
victims being called out by lot. This
appalling character of defamation lay in
the likelihood that innocent persons,
slain in cold blood, might suffer for the
guilty. But the peculiar horror vanishes
when we alter the conditions; and regi-
ment which has taken part in hard
fought battle and comes off the field
only decimated, that is to say, with nine
living and unscathed for each man left
on the field, might be accounted rather
fortunate than the reverse. We come
now to holocaust" the use of which
noun often betrays ignorance quite as
gross. Thus the dreadful loss of life by
the sinking of an excursion steamboat on
the Thames was recently spoken of as
holocaust" by which remarkable mis-
prison of etymology the Thames was set
on fire indeed. -MacmiIlan's Magazine.

Wouldn't Tell.


The old squatter's spirit. A gentle
man while driving along in a buggy
came to a very muddy, not to say dam
gerous, place in the road. Seeing an
old man sitting on fence, he called
out:
''My friend, I'm bothered here"
$50 am L.
swell, then, we are in the same boat.
WHAT'S the matter with youp"
''Shot at a man."
"Why does it bother youp"
"'Cause didn't hit him."
"Who was the manP'
''My son-in-law."
"Why did you shoot at himp"
"'Cause l stole his jug, an shot to
keep him from shootin'."
''But, as was saying, am bothered
here. l don't know which side of the
road to take. / am afraid that my
horse will mire down. Which is the
best sidep''
BLAMED if know"
(Which side would you takep"
1.-THE cheapest.
"Here, now, no fooling. / want to
know which side
That's none of my business"
The traveller, irritated up. to the dan
ger line, drew pistol, leveled it at the
man on the fence, and said: Jump
down and show me the best road, or
I'll shoot the top of your head Off.
''Certainly, sir, he said, anything to
oblige you. If I'd or knowed that you
was in SIGH a earnest fit, I'd a told you
early this. mornin'. Why didn't you
send boylon ahead with one of these
here telegraph dispatchesP You remind
me of an old Teller that lives over here
at the bend. Nearly all of the boys say
he's a good un. So you want TO know
the best side of the road here, and the
beauty about the thing is that yop are in
earnest. 1t is only these earnest men
that set the forks of the creek afire.
Say, do you know Big Goose Creek
forksp"
"Lool1 here" again leveling the pis-
tol, 81 want you to hurry up and show
me the best side of the road / don't
want to ruin my horse and lose my
buggy. 1t wouldn't take a minute to
tell me-"
Eyes, I'm hurrying up" continuing
to move around, ''but you see mans
got to think these days. There was a
time when a man what thought much
wasn't respected in the neighborhood,
and that is thereason why the folks over
my way didn't care so much for my So
ciety until lately. Let me see which
side, now. don't want to make mis-
take. Well, sir, up where the Big
Goose Creek forks is where my father
used to fish, and when was a boy l had
the dingest fight there you ever seed,
but good day." and leaping the fence,
and keeping tree between himself and
the traveller, he ran away. All of this
unnecessary work was done to keep
from saying to the right or to the left OF
the road. --Arbdnsd Traveller.

According to the last census there

the United States. 1t is estimated that
these, with other people who depend on
the theatrical profession for living,
will easily make total of $4,000 peo-

least $4,000 others, making an aggre-

A French Story,

DIR. Tavernier, French hospital ply
slcian, after studying the artificial incu
baton Of chickens, determined to apply
the principle to the foundlings, many of
of whom died during the first six months
of their life. He constructed "child
incubator" on the model of the chicken
machine Of that name. He selected a
miserably-made infant that had come
into the world at an injudiciously early
period, placed it in the incubator pro
ylded with nursing bottle, and kept it
III clark room. It ceased to CIV on
the second day, and although previous
ly s1eepless child, sank into deep and
quiet sleep. The child remained there
eight weeks, never once crying. and
never remaining awake except when
taking nourishment. It grew rapidly.
and in sixty days looked like a healthy
infant. Dr.. Tavernier next selected an
ordinary siX-months-old infant addicted
to collie and fretfulness. In the incuba-
tor it never cried; spent It's whole time
IN sleep, and after six weeks stav
doubled its weight, resembling a child
three years old. 1t could actually walk.

makes no noise. 1t lets its victim
make all the noise for it. 1t de-
stroys capacity for study and all con-
tinglty of thought Corns, when in
dulged in by poets, have spoiled poems
which might have thrilled the world.
No minister with a lively corn can
preach perfect love" A corn seems
to do business at either end. That is,
the end that is inserted twinges while
the outer end aches. A corn converts
a Hercules OF on Apollo into an awE-
ward, lingering, halting cripple. It
causes him to halt tearfully on street
curbs ere he attempts crossing, when
before he plunged fearlessly into the
maze of vehicles and was quickly over.
1t is continually sending through him
mental twinges of anxiety lest some one
step upon it. It turns a mans whole
thought from the contemplation of the
beauties Of nature and the grandeur
of the universe to the re-
memberance of its abominabIe
self. It changes the beatifc
expression of his countenance to one of
qHerulousness and anxiety. Yet there
IS no more sympathy for a corn, OF
rather for the peEson attacked by the
corn, than there is for the toothache or
seasiclzness. That is because it is sup
posed the corn kills nobody. Yet, if it
did kill, the greater would be the
mercy. A corn cannot agonize dead
man or woman. Dead peoples corns
do not ache. So long as one is alive
and able to suffer, so long no one much
cares. When we are dead ond out of
pain and the wicked corn ceaseth from
troubling and the weary toe is at rest,
why our friends set up their boohoo!
and spend for flowers to put on our
coffin the money that so much when
alive We needed for oyster fries.
A corn is really wicked demonin-
carnated in a bit of callous skin. It's
mission is to distress and agonize
humanity and to increase wickedness.
Corns are really lost souls and evil
spirits allowed thus to return, and in
this guise to afiict us. You look upon
q corn and regard it as bit of half
dead skin. But within there lives
wicked, glowing, incandescent spirit,
with no other impulse but to afiict, and
with poisoned fangs, hot pinchers and
red-hot knitting needles to do so.

Gen. Grant as a Traveller.

Grant is queer old fellow. When
he was President of the United States
he nearly always travelled in q special
car, but now, since he has become q
private citizen, he travels just about the
same as ordinary folks. You can
always find Grant in the rear end of the
car, IN the smoking apartment, with a
cigar IN his mouth, and there he sits,
with hand on either arm of his chair,
and smokes and smokes, thoroughly
ob1lvious of everybody in the car. He
never looks at any one; sometimes he
will look out of the window for hours /;
when he's not doing that he's glancing
over newspaper. He's Indifferent to
everything that's going on. Why, if
the train he is IN stops on the road in
the open country for some minutes he
never moves, never inquiries what's the
matter, but sits and smokes stolidly
until the train starts, while all the
other passengers put their heads out of
the windows or get off to see what's
gone wrong.
II remember trip to Chicago Grant
made in my car some time ago. His
seat was directly behind lady who was
travelling alone-and who, by the way,
knew very little about travelling. She
had her window up for some time, and
it was pretty chilly, beside the black
smoke poured into the car. I watched
Grant for little while, and I saw he
was annoyed, as the smoke and chilly
breeze blew right over him. Presently
he got up, and leaning over the lady's
shoulder put his hand on the catch and
let the window sash down. The little
woman gave an involuntary start, and
turned round fieEcely, but Grant never
noticed her, and dEopped back into his
chair. After a little while the little
lady hoisted the window again, and
some of the passengers who had seen
the affair smiled at one another. Then
the little woman beckoned to nae and
said: Conductor, who is that hog back
of me?'"
"'Thats Gen. Grant, said I.
Oh!' said the little woman, and
she dropped the window immediately.
Grant heard the question but never Let
OF, and went on reading his paper as if
nothing had happened. ."-TQM acith q

TIe brakeman.

The brakeman is man who is en-
piOyed by q railroad company to stand

10 help stop the train when it is neces-
sary.
Next to being a bareback rider in a

brake and chew tobacco while the train
Is running at full speed The fact that
a brakeman is often seen pegging broad
cast over the land on a wooden leg, or
iGi'us one arm, often causes people to
believe that he is an old soldier, or has
served term in a baseball club.
There are two kinds of brakemea-

gcr brakeman is gentleman of consid-
crdble leisure, and by the nonchalant
WAY in which he comes through a car

Tie freight brakeman is an entirely
different man. He is grim, silent and
diSnitied. He seldom speaks except to
curse the green hand ON the rear end
OF the train, whom he affectionately re-
fers to as pudding" Despite his
faults, however, he works hard and
very often arises to a position of i'm
portance, unless some day he tries to
use his body as ooupling-pin and
fails.

tracked at meeting point, and all his

The Most Prosperous People in the

years American Consul at Havre, in a

OF the laws, the haste of their appIica-
tion nor the rigidity of punishment I'M
der them" France owes the largest
debt in the world, but Col. Bridgland
says that "this large debt is held by her
own people, and is payable at the
option Of the Government, which about
amounts to no debt at all. Everybody
owns part of it, from the poor wash
erwoman to the wealthiest banker. The
French people have more confidence in
their own national debt, large as it is,
than they have in any other security in
the world. At the beginning of each
year, if the Government has not to
place a new loan, the people become
clamorous and complain that they have
no way to invest their accumulations of
