A Wall Street "Reminiscences.

Apropos of Jim Keene's trouble,
was chatting with an old broker yester-
day snd inquired whether he thought
it might not involve others-possibly
Gould.
"Pshaw," said he, mot bit. JAWS

1lations like those of keene. He has
given up that kind of business years ago
and sticks to safe transactions. At one
period of his life he was continuously in
trouble. / remember the time ir Wall
street when day in and day oHt there
would be warrants of arrest issued for
Fisk or Gould or Uncle Daniel Drew,
sometimes for ali three. 1t was comic
to watch the service of these warrants.
The Deputy would enter the Office.
"'Well, Dick, Fisk would say in his
CHEEKY way, what's up to-daye What
have you got now?'
ga warrant of arrest, Mr.. Fisk the
Deputy would answer.
'What-for all of usp'
".Yessir.'
Then just you go in there, collar
the old fool Orew) and slap him in
jail. Wen be on-hand tomorrow, Dick,
all right, never fear and he would Jerk
with his thumb in the direction of
Drew's private room IN droll way that
was irresistible.
Sometimes the Deputy would enter
Uncle Daniels Office first. Wal, Rich

say, Dick? Well (rubbing his specta-
cles, bending and smiling), Jest take

well out of the swim nowadays. His
early experience has made him cautious,

The Druggist.

G. j. Seybold, in business at Pea
body, Kan, thus toasted the Druggist:
May his occupation never become a
drug IN the market as long as he sticks
like his own plaster to business. Nav
he never be bruised in the mortar OF
adversely by the pestle of misfortune.
and may his rise in his profession be as
accurately marked as his graduate
measure. May his career be as unsul-
lied as distilled water. and As smooth
and pleasant as strained honey. Nav
his success never be alleged bv a MKT
ure OF ill-luck or n tincture of regret.
May his counter prove the crucible
whereby he transmutes human ailments
into precious metal, and precipitates
the golden metal into his pocket. MAY
he never be called upon to swallow the
hitter pill of disappointment, or be
macerated in the cruel spirit of enmity.
Should tickle fortune ever refuse him
her smiles may he find an antidote in
the soothing opiate of woman's love,
strengthened by the tonic of experience
and purified by the sudoriiic of patience.
Thus, his best days being evaporated,
and the lamp of his existence past trim
ming, when DIR. Death sends TO his shop

The preponderance of widows over
widowers in England is often remarked.
The census returns show this to be un-
mistakably the case. There were in
1881 close upon 1,000.O 900 widows in
England and Wales, the number Of
widowers being less than half as many.
Of these 200, 900 widows $1,000 were
under thirty-iive years of age. In Ire
land and Scotland the number of wild
ows was in each case three times that
of the widowers.
