Money That Dustmen Earn.


The French papers, by the way, pub
fish a curious statistical table, one Of the
most striking items of which seems to me
the gains of the dustmen. Your lucky
dustman makes from 9l00 to fl50 a year,
which is pretty well, considering that his
education for his special trade is of an in
expensive kind, and that he IS not obliged
to keep up an appearance-in the daytime
at least. Even the carriage he drives is
is not at his own expense. These gains
are partly accounted for by the annual
sales of refuse articles found in the cutters
and bins. The sale of these offscourings
of social and domestic use realizes the
prodigIous annual figure of FL, $40, 600.
This is divided among the scayengers. /

but the cook still looks out, and 'sshe

Paris the prospect Of picking FL $40. 900
out of the unsaYOry mass makes the dust
men more regular in their attention.

Experience of Two of Brigham Young

A gentleman who arrived in Jefferson
Vile this morning from trip through
Washington and Scott counties, Indiana,
says a Louisville special Of the Tth inst.
to the Nashville World, told a reporter a
very interesting story about the opera
tions OF the MormOns in that section of
the country. 1t appears that couple of
Elders from Utah have been travelling
through those counties preaching their
foul doctrines wherever they could Sc
cure a room or school house to talk in and
an audience to listen to them.
In most places the people
would have nothing to do with
the Mormon emissaries, and they gen.
orally found it a matter OF some difficulty
to get place to preach in. They got off
the j. M. 81 /. train some days ago at
Scottsburg, Scott county, but when twas
known these false prophets from Utah
We're in town, they received a short no.
tice to leave, having the alternative to
leave naturally or have committee of
citizens assist their movements. They
stepped out and went to Oxford, a
small backwoods hamlet. The people
there didn't catch on to the charac-
tiers of the new corners and allowed them
to preach for two nights. The mission
aries next struck out for Little York,
Washington county. Now, Little York
is said to be very tough town, but they
don't banker much after Mormonism and
polygamy. One of the elders mounted a
box in front of grocery store and pro-
ceeded to expound the cardinal doctrine
of Brigham Young and Joe Smith, but be-
fore he had proceeded very far a
stalwart ruralist kicked the box from
under the preachers feet and left
him sprawling. A crowd of forty
or fifty angry villagers then accom-
panied the Mormons to the town limits to
see that they get good start. At New
Philadelphia the missionaries asked per-
mission to preach in the school house. but
the trustees refused. They then visited
Harriston; and here, it is said, they made
three converts, from an ignorant family
recently from Tennessee. This is the last
heard of them. The people out in that
part of the State are considerably stirred
up, and want Mormon emissaries to I'M
derstand that that country is good one
to get out OF as quick as they can.

The New Alloy swindle.

ZION. He showed samples of
a white. brilliant malleable non-rusting
metal, which was evidently very valua-
bic. He would then invite his victim to
select a specimen OF iron Stag with which

put into a crucible, which was placed in
the furnace after Sherman had added an
ounce or two of some substance from a
paper which he carried in his pocket. At
the end of half an hour the crucible was
Withdrawn and a lump Of the alloy
weighing more than a pound would be
found at the bottom of the Stag. Pieces OF
the alloy were carried to different assay
lists. every one of whom declared them to
be pure tin.
While it is certain that tin can not be
produced from iron Stag, the manner in
which sherman introduced that metal
into the crucible has not yet been detect

money out of his victims, he has been
smart enough not to sell his secret TO any.
