How 70 Travel without a Ticket.

A Traveller" writes to London
Truth: Perhaps the following story
may be interesting to some Of your
readers, if they ever should be under
the necessity of travelling without a
ticket: The other day, on the
Railway, a man got into one of the
carriages and presently began talking
to a fellow passenger. After a time he
asked the gentleman whether he had
heard the story about how man
travelled without ticket. The gentle
man said he had not; so the man asked
him to lend him his ticket, that he
might show him how it was done, and
began fddling about with it, but pre-
tended that the story had suddenly
slipped out of his head, bat that he
would be sure to remember it soon
After time the train gotnear London
and as the man still could not remem-
Der the story, ne returned the gentle
man his ticket. This struck the gen
tleman as beng very curious, and so
he watched the man. When the man
got to the barrier and was asked for
his ticket he said he had given it up,
bat the ticket-collector denied it, and
after a good deal of alteration the
man pulled some silver out of his
pocket and was about to pay for
his fare when he suddenly said
producing small piece of ticket
that he could prove that he
had given up his ticket, because he
remembered playing about with it in
the train and tearing off a small piece,
and that if the ticket-collector looked
he would find ticket with the piece
torn off. On looking the ticket-collec-
tor found a ticket with a piece torn off.
and of course Immediately begged the
man a thousand pardons.

Electric Storms at Sea.
n. Y. World.

The steamer International arrived
yesterday from Trieste bearing marks
of having experienced very heavy
weather during the voyage. Captain
Simpson, in conversation with a re-
porter of the World, said yesterday:
1--WE left Trieste on September and
encountered a series Of heavy gales
and hurricanes during the first thirty
days, which did but little damage.
On October 3, in Latitude 35, Is, longi-
tude 50.16, we felt shock under the
vessel accompanied by a noise similar
to an explosion. The crew were ter
ribly frightened, and we all thought
that the vessel had struck some sort
of an Internal machine. Several of
the sailors rushed for the small boats.
while others stood transfxed, as if
waiting for further developments.
We made an investigation below and
found the vessel all safe and sound.
We came to the conclusion that an
earthquake had taken place under
meath the ocean. At the time of the
shock the weather was fire and the
sea very calm. On looking over the
side moment after the explosion oc-
Cured [ noticed that the sea was APP
parently undisturbed by the shock
which we felt. On the 9TH instant.
four days later, a heavy electric storm
broke over the vessel. There was no
thunder, but the lightning flashed
from all points of the compass. We
could see the electric currents run
ming about the rigging, and occasion
ally the men on deck felt the current
strike. No matter at what portion of
the body the current struck, we could
feel it run down our arms and leave
US at the finger tips The storm
broke about 2 o'clock in the morning,
and lasted several hours. Again, two
days later, a similar storm struck us
and lasted nearly four hours, dur
ing which time the sensation occasion
ed by the electric currents were both
pleasing and horrible. We did not
know at what moment heavy shock
would strike and injure US, yet when
a current struck one of us we felt as
if we would like to have it stay. The
rigging and masts Of the ship were
blackened and splintered in several
places during the two storms No
one was injured, however, nor did
the vessel experience any great dam
age"

Wealth Going Begging.
New York Journal.

''Now, this is job [ hate"
This exclamation came from a clerk
in Castle Garden, who was busily en-
gagged in fling away letters in alpha
betically marked pigeon holes.
''Where do all these letters come
from? asked the reporter.
ooh, they are letters sent here fOl
the emigrants which are never called
for. [ will show you q man who can
tell you all about them, at the same
time pointing to a good-natured look
ing man who was deeply engaged in
perusing a copy of the Morning Jour
nal. He proved to be Chief Clerk Ohm
Lawlor, and when the reporter ex-
planned his business to Mr.. Lawlor,
that gentleman said:
Eyes, we have about 10000 of these
letters, sent here for emigrants dur
ing the year, which are never called
for"
''Do any of them contain money!
Yes, over twenty-five per cent. OF
them contain sums ranging from 81 to
$25; the total would amount to about
$500 It's partly owing to the emf
grants own stupidity that the letters
are not delivered"
Chow is that?'
''WeI, you see we have clerks here,
each one speaking a different Ian
guage, and after steamship lands her
passengers these clerks call out the
names on the letters, but the emf
grants do not seem 10 understand

there they are sent to the dead letter.

opened, and those that have money in
them are returned to the senders of

''What do they do with the letters
that have money in them?"
'They burn them. After emigrants
have departed from the Garden their
friends send them word that they have
sent a letter to Castle Garden, and
they Immediately s6nd for it. We
have q number of such applications
for letters every day. You would
laugh if you saw some of the addresses
on these letters, continued Mr.. Law

over the face of the envelope, they

ployed to attend to these letters, who
were each paid 81, 500 per year, and a

CHANCES TO EAT FOR NOTHING.
HOW Tailyis Kept of AIIthe People in
Hotel Dining-roons.
New York Sun.

The opportunities for stealing din
ner in one of the New York hotels are
not promising. The arrangements
have been SO thoroughly perfected
that it would be pleasanter for man
to suffer the pangs of hunger than
risk the mental wear aud tear and
physical harm incident to the theft.
For some years motel beats flourish
ed in New York. They lounged about
the corridors of their favorlte hostel
cries. often had their letters addressed
to the office, and were so much on
hand that the employees of the house
supposed they were regular patrons.
Then the hotels began regular cru
SADIE against them, and they have been
regulated to the free lunch counters OF
the more prosperous saloons.
The same system is now III vogue
at all of the city hotels. The head
waiter is the sentry of the dining
room. Five minutes before the dim
ner hour a list of the guests Of the no
tel is sent up stairs by the clerk. On
the list is the number of every room
in the house with the name of the OF
cupant Off any opposite. The head
waiter stands by the door, and when
a guest comes in he is asked quietly
the number of his room. He gives it,
and the waiter instantly sends him
to table. The man, if he thinks of
it at all, supposes that the number Of
his room has something to do with
his seat and passes on. The instant
his back is turned the head waiter con
suits his list, and if the room Of the
number given is vacant, or if it is oc-
cupied by some one known to the wal
ter, he goes at once to the man, and
while deity arranging the napkin
or placing the knives and forks in
neat rows, asks him seductively his
name. If the name fails to clear
away the doubt the clerk is sent for.
He may recognize the man. If he
does not an investigation is made at
once, and if the man is proved to be a
fraud he is taken out and handed over
to the police.
The head walters Of the hotels are
usually men of great discrimination
and accurate judges of character.
They seldom make mistakes, but when
they do slipnp, their errors are cloth
ed in snch suavity and gentleness
that even the professional beats can
not get angry with them.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1883-03-02

The as-tute and "brainy" editor of the
South Haven Sentinel, has made the novel
discovery that Justices of the Supreme Court
and Regents of the University are not State
officers. The call for the Republican county
convention was to nominate candidates for
State offices to be voted for at the spring
eI6ction.'' AS the statutes and the constitu
ton of the State provides that these officers
shall be voted for on alternate years, at the
spring elections, by the voters of the entire
State, and as their duties relate to the entire
State, most people would conclude that they
are State officers, as much as if they were
elected Oh the general ticket in the fall. But
the Sentinel says it was clerical error on
the part of the Chairman of the County
Committee, to so designate them.

Several young bloods of the city, who were
born when the sign was in the heels, are
talking of getting mp rubber boot dance to
take place in the near future. The ladies
will not be required to wear boots.
The First Baptist people have their repair
ing, calcimining, ETC., all completed, and
their house presents very nice appearance,
and speaks well for those who have had it
in charge. In fact ii is as fine a place of
worship as We have seen in many a day.
One of our citizens, quite recently from
Dakota, has pupil in charge 10 whom he is
teaching pool playing, and all its attendant
mysteries. The scholar is young chap
only about Is years old, an ex-Judge, County
Treasurer, and Pros. Atty of this county.
The worst difficulty the teacher encounters
is the scant height of his pupil, but he is apt
and willing, and with practice and patience,
will, no doubt, become an expert at the
business.
A fat woman, who would put n sperm
whale to blush, came putting and blowing up
the steps leading to one of our Justice courts,
and told the magistrate that she wanted
warrant for her 16 year old daughter and
wanted her sent TO the House of Correction.
The reasons assigned were as follows: The
daughter was SASSY" impudent, out nights,
wouldn't work nor mind her ma. She was
advised that she was not entitled to war
rant, and TO go home and take the girl gent
ly by her left ear, lay her down on the
kitchen floor and sit on her few minutes,
which would take the sass and impudence
out of her quicker than half a dozen houses
of correction. She said she would try it, and
bidding the court farewell, passed out.
Capt. James Kelley, of S. f. Decatur, came
into Justice Galligan's. court, one day last
week, with rather bad looking head on
him. He told the court that while he was
gently correcting his undutiful son Edward,
the youth picked up stone and knocked
his poor old father down, with neatness and
dispatch, and as he lay wallowing in his gore,
in senseless condition, the boy seized a
club and pounded him severely, nearly break
ing his arm. A warrant was duly issued,
and Officer Flanders soon trotted the bold
youth into court, where he pleaded guilty to
the charge. After the Captain was sworn,
and before sentence was passed, he addressed
the court with such speech as he alone can
make, filled with sobs and tears in behalf of
his erring son, begging and pleading for
mercy. AS a sobber and weeper, the Capt.
is success, but notwithstanding his en-
treaties, the boy got GO days, and the Capt.
filed slowly and sadly home, with SORROW
full heart.
