He Served the Papers.

lfrOn lne Albany Argus
neat device of young lawyer in
this city, that equals any of the more
modern artifces of the followers of
Blackstone in the cornering of a
creditor, was successfully carried out
Thursday night. 1t appears that a
young man held judgment against
tie publisher of book that was finding
ready sale at 81 per copy. The pub
Usher had eluded every effort to serve
upon him the requisite papers to re-
strain further collection on these books.
The lawyer in whose hands the judg-
nent was, concluded he would assume
the role of book agent, and calling at
the publishers residence represented to
lis wife that he desired, as an agent, to
purchase number of the books. The
wife thought che could make just as
favorable terms as her husband, but the
SCENT would prefer seeing and dealing
With the gentleman. On a second visit, it
vas arranged that the publisher should
call at private residence on Washington
Avenue at 9 o'clock Thursday evening.
The lawyer was at the place appointed
q short time before the hour, and the
the clock had scarcely ceased tolling
the hour when the door-beIl rang and
The publisher was ushered into the par
lor, where he was, in few moments,
joined by the lawyer. There was
good deal of bantering over the price,
the proprietor finally agreeing to spare
the agent fifty copies at $125 per copy,
as he was anxious to get them
turned into cash, his usual price to
agents being $1.50. During the con-
versation he made known to the law
yer his entire business, and that he had
large amount still due for books and
advertising, which he was rapidly col
lecting. When all this had been
learned, and the agent placed his hand
in his pocket to draw forth the money,
it returned with the judgment and an
order restraining the further sale or
collection until the matter was ad

A Sharp Trick.

tFrOm the New YORK Herald
A polite young man, dressed in fash
ionable attire, walked up to the cigar
stand in the Victory Hotel yesterday
and asked for box of the most costly
cigars sold in the place.
Il haven't time to wait just now," he
added, looking at his watch, "but you
may send the cigars to my fathers at
No. q East Twenty-sixth Street"
Then the polite young man went away
hurriedly. The youth IN charge of the
stand sent for messenger to whom lie
gave the box of cigars, with strict in
structions that it should not be delivered
unless paid for in cash. When the mes
senger reached East Twenty-sixth
Street, he found two young men in their
shirt-sleeves, sitting on the stoop. One
of them was the polite young man.
"Oh, here are the cigars" he said.
"Where is the money" queried the
messenger.
"Al., goup stairs and tell pa the cigars
have come" said the polite young man
to his companion. "Tell him to send
down the money. By the way, my boy,
where is the brandy?"
"What brandy?"
@."Well, now, that's stupid, and pa will
be very angry. l ordered some brandy
at the hotel, and it was to be sent with
the cigars. You had better run around
to the hotel and get the brandy at
once"
The messenger did as he was told,
and learned at the hotel that no brandy
had been ordered. When he got back
to the house on Twenty-sixth Street he
could not find the young men or the
cigars. He rang the door-bell and it
was answered by an elderly Spanish
gentleman, who said he was not the pa
of the young men and knew nothing
about either them or the cigars.

Didn't Get ANY Beer,
From the Cincinnati Sun. !

FROM the CINCINNATI sun.
Little Edith is 4 years old and wise
beyond her years. Her grandmother
from the country is visiting the city,
and yesterday when she wished to go to
church Edith was told to take her to
the sanctuary usually frequented by the
family, as all the rest of the household
were obliged to stay at home. The lit
tie one knew the church as well as her
own home-it was only square away
but her curiosity to see the interior of
another church half a square further
had been time and again denied by her
mother. Now was her chance, and she
confidently showed grandma to the new
church, where the services somewhat
mystitied the lady who had expected
different theology. 1t was Communion
Sunday, and grandma" partook of the
symbolic bowl as 1t was passed around
and justly debarred the baby from tast-
ing it. When they returned home it
somehow leaked out that Edith had be-
trayed confidence, and her mamma took
her to task for showing grandma" to a
strange pew. The little one became
restive under the reproof and finally
broke down all restraint by saying
Grandma hasn't been very nice, either.
She wouldn't give me bit of the beer" /"
And amid the horror evoked by this
outburst, Edith escaped unpunished.
ABOUT twenty seven years ago the
ship Lord Ashburton, Capt. Hamm, was
wrecked on the MUIR lodges on the voy-
age between Liverpool and st. John,
and all hands perished. The other day
a Grand Manan fisherman picked up,
off Eel Point, Newfoundland, the ships
bell. 1t was in good state of preser-
vation, and the finder sold it on the
stand for $12.

The HindoO Idea OF Marriage.

A Hindoo has curious ideas as to the
married state. Here is a husbands
creed: "A man. both day and night.
must keep his wife so much in sublec.
ton that she by no means be mistress
of her own actions. If the wife have
her own free will, Notwithstanding she
is of superior caste, she will 90 amiss.
A woman shall never 90 out of her
house without the consent of her hus-
band. and shall pay proper respect tc
her husbands father, the spiritual
guide and her guests, and shall not eat
until she has served them with victuals
Gf it is medicine, she may take it be
fore they eat): a woman shall never
90 10 a strangers house, and shall not
stand at the door and must never look
out of the window. If a woman, fol-
lowing her own inclinations, goes
whithersOever she chooses, and does
not regard the words of her master,
such a woman shall be turned away. If
a man goes on a journey, his wife shall
moi divert herself bv play, 0 see any
public show, o laugh, nor dress her
self with Jewels or fine clothes, nor see
dancing. nor hear music, nor sit at the
window, nor ride out, nor behold any
thing choice or rare; but shall fasten
well the hOuse-door and remain private:
and shall not eat any dainty victuals,
| and shall not view herself in a mirror;
she shall not exercise herself in any
agreeable employment during the ab-
| sence of her husband"
