Two StOWaWayS.

80 James Welsh. aged ten, and Charles
Rawlings aged fifteen years, who were
found by a journal reporter in the
Overseer of the Poor's Office this morn
ing, are undoubtedly entitled to the
palm as youthful runaways. Three
months ago both boys were residents Of
Liverpool, Eng, where Welsh has a
father and mother and Rawlings a
father, his mother being dead. They
formed the resolution of starting out to
see the world, as they informed the re-
porter, and ashley frequented the docks
in Liverpool, the most feasible scheme
that suggested itself was to steal aboard
ship and cross the ''big pond to
America. The ship VergenneS was
lying at the dock, about to start for
Boston, and the boys made up theiI
minds to go in her. Accordingly, one
dark Saturday night they stole aboard,
and secreting themselves in the dog
house, awaited the sailing of the vessel.
Early next morning the ship left its
moorings and started on its voyage. The
boys laid still until the ship was pretty
well out of port, when they disclosed
themselves to the astonished crew.
There was no other way now but to
bring them to this country. The boys
were so bright, especially Welsh, that
hat they became favorites with the
crew, who fitted them out with canvas
suits. After being a few days out,
Welsh became sick and was kindly
cared for during his illness. They
landed in Boston on Monday, and after
a few1days' stay they started for New
York, the goal of their ambition.
Gamins in Boston showed them which
road to take, and concealing themselves
in a freight car they came as far as
Hoosac Tunnel, or the ',big tunnel" as
heyealled it. Then they got aboard
passenger train and reached Troy,
whence they made their way TO this
city, reaching here late last night. Cap
tain Davidson took care of them at the
station house, and this morning gave
them a hearty breakfast, after which
they were turned over to the Overseer
of the Poor. Both boys say they would
not GO back under any consideration,
that they like this country better than
Engmnd. and can get along just as well
as at. home. Rawlings talks in the
broad dislect peculiar to the lower
classes in England. Oyerseer Parr will
send them TO New York by the boat to-
night. Rawlings SAYS he has an uncle
there. Albany IN ~ Journal.

A day or two ago . lot Of hotel-keepers,
who had been snbpened as witnesses or
| trial, met on the City Hall steps and
began discussing the hard luck they had
experienced at their summer resorts
during the season. They all frankly
admitted they had come out behind,
with the exception Of one man, who
waited until the rest had finished, and
then put in o claim to having made
money.
'In that little picayune place of yours.
that place down on the islandp" ex-
claimed one.
fright there, gentlemen - replied the
successful man, calmly.
"You mean to say you made money
over and above your expenses" de-
manded another.
Didn't have any expenses and ]
made money"
"Howp" observed the crowd.
81 only had one guest. and I've got
him yet," answered the man who knew
how. "He's down at my place, and I
am still making money out Of him. He
was rich man, and / induced him to
come down to see the place. As soon
as 1 got him there l locked him in the
cellar and fed him through knot-hole
in the door; stuck in the stem of clay
pipe and poured soup in the bowl while
he sucked it out of the stem. Charged
him twenty dollars day, and when /
closed for the season left one of the
servants to feed him, and I'm going to
keep that up as long as his money holds
out or he dies, and then I'll put in bill
against the estate"
And the unsuccessful ones stood of
and admired his genius, while'the calm
man stood apart and waited for some
one to set 'em up, as the rich always do
when the poor are around.-Brooklyn

this country for his health.
"A new play was produced recently
at the Odeon Theater, in Paris, under
decidedly novel circumstances. An
author had brought an action against
the manager because, after accepting a
play, he had delayed its production,
and the court. beside awarding f125
damages ordered the piece to be pro-
duced forthwith. Played accordingly
it was not "by special request" but "by
judicial decree"
The fan in Spain is a well-known
weapon of expression, yet its ordinary
use is excessively monotonous. 1t has
three motions. 1t is opened, moved
twice and closed. As described by
Charles Dudley Warner, the movement
is 'open, two movements of tanning,
shut; open, fan, shut, hour after hour,
until the beholder is driven half wild
by the monotony of the performance. "
The English Ghost Hunters League,
which has been investigating all the
ghosts and haunted houses which come
within its knowledge, and have abso-
lutely nothing to show for two years
labor, is becoming discouraged. It now
prints card asking all people with su-
pernatursl affairs about them or their
houses to come forward, promising as
an inducement that nothing will in
any case be printed or published with
or without names, except with the full
consent of the persons concerned"
Among the many leagues which are
formed for the benefit of both man and
beast, the last, and perhaps the most
curious, is that which has for its object
to protest against the use of the Ameri-
can lobster as an article of food, on the
ground that it can only be obtained by
torturing the animal or fish. A number
of Parisians, the originators of the
scheme, wear badge on which is
pinned a crustacean holding in its claws

word Thanks"
