A Crooks Resort.

This government is being bled to
death by Canada, and the administra-
ton does not seem to be able to grasp
the situation. Our American bank
cashiers are tiocking 10 Canada with
the millions they have accumulated bv
lifetime of industry in stealing, and
all efforts to bring them back seem to
be useless, as the Canadian judges re-
fuse to let the cashiers be interfered
with. There is a sentiment in Canada
that the man who steals money ir
America and takes it to Canada is q
thoroughbred, and society takes the de-
faulter in, and the courts stand between
him and harm. AS long as the de-
faulter has money he is safe in Canada.
The only way for our people to get
even is to advertise this country as q
resort for Canadian defaulters. Let it
once be known that defaulters from the
other side will be welcomed here, met
with covered carriages at the line be-
tween the two countries, escorted to
paiatial hotels and given receptions,
attended by our best people, and 1t will
be possible to get some of the money
back. This country is much larger
than Canada, and has more banks. con-
sequently the balance of trade will al
ways be in favor of Canada, but by
properly attending to business here we
can get some of the defaulters to settle
in this country, when we can beat them
out of the money they steal at our leis-
ure, as Canada does by our defaulters.
All that we want is to have the Cana
dian defaulters feel that America is
home where they are safe, and the only
way to convince them is to advertise.
The Secretary of State should at once
cause advertisements to be inserted in
the Canadian papers calling attention
OF bank cashiers to the ease with which
they can reach our borders with their
plumber, where customs inspectors will
be instructed to ask no questions. Cir
culars should at once be sent to every
bank cashier in the Dominion, giving
the price of board, and the names of
some Of our best criminal lawyers,
with the percentage they will charge to
assist cashier to evade our judges and
realize on their steal. Attention should
be called to the fact that society equal to
that which opens its arms to Emo in
Canada will be ready to receive Cana
dian defaulters on their arrival, and
that everything will be done that can
be done to make it pleasant for them.
This matter is a serious one, and the
administration could not do anything
that would bring more money into the
country than to advertise our facilities
for the comfort of foreign defaulters.-

Trapping a Tiaress.

She was captured about nine months
ago, in obedience to an order sent to
| India by Mr.. Reichc for one of her kind.
! A tiger track was found in the jungle
leading TO the reedy banks of river.
A pit about twenty feet deep was dug
| in the path and covered over with
| branches of trees and brushwood. The
| natives then concealed themselves, and
at night the tigress, going down to the
| water, crashed through the covering,
| and lay, partially stunned and wholly
helpless at the bottom of the pit. She
was allowed to lie there for a week.
The mouth of the pit was again closed
and for seven days she lived in dark
ness without food or water. Such
treatment very often kills tiger but it
is the only known method of reducing
them from the state Of savage frenzy
succeeding their capture to anything
like submission.
When at last the coverings were
again removed the then untamed Fanny
was found TO be anything but sEpdued.
She was, however, weak, and her furi-
Gus bounds to reach the mouth of the
pit were short ut first, and grew shorter
with every effort. Then the natives
began to angle Tor her. 1t was hard
and dangerous fishing. but slowly
moose after moose was dropped around
her body, her fore legs were drawn
tightly to her sides, and she was pulled
up at last firmly bound and powerless.
Other cords were thrown around her,
and with her feet in the air and her
back down. she was dashed to bamboo
poles. and carried by \ score of mon to
the place of embarka,ion. She had
very little life left in her when she was
placed on board ship and dispatched to
Germany
When she landed in Europe, howev-
er, she had quite recovered, and Mr..
Reiche. who is living in Germany, was
delighted with her appearance. He
gave her the name of Fanny, and Sc
cured her passage 10 America. She is
worth perhaps SIS, 500.-N Y. Sun.

Charles Summers Widow.

A rumor that the well-known Ameri-
can banker in London, Mr.. Junius S.
Morgan, is to marry the divorced wife
of Charles Sumner has obtained a linn
tied circulation. 1t has been published
in New Orleans paper as fact al
ready announced by authority in Lon
don. 1t will very naturally create
some surprise, for Mr.. Morgan is about
20 years old. and was supposed to have
passed the marriage point. His first
wife died six or seven years ago. She
was daughter of John Pierpont the
American poet, who died at Medford,
Mass, in 1866. He was at the time
holding an office in the Treasury De-
partment at Washington, which had
been given him in recognition of his
services as chaplain in Massachusetts
regiment during the war. Mrs. Nor
gan was lady of great culture and
was for nearly half a century a worthy
companion of her distinguished hus-
band. They had two or three children,
the best known of whom is Mr.. John
Pierpont Morgan. of the New York
banking firm of Drexel. Morgan & Co.
j. S. Morgan went over to London in
1857 or Whereabouts with George Pea
body, who that year came over to
America and established the Peabody
Institute at his old home, Danvers,
Mass. Mr.. Morgan had already made
a fortune. He began life as clerk in
a cotton goods establishment at Hart
ford, Conn, and after prospecting till
he became partner in the house sold
out and went to Boston, where he be-
came associated with one of the largest
importing concerns there. 1t was thus
that he got his London acquaintance
and that he attracted the admiration
and friendship of Mr.. Peabody. When
he went over to London he became as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Peabody in the bank
George Peabody & Co., and immedi-
ately became great favorite with the
first people of London and American
visitors. He is gentleman of splen-
did appearance, the most refined tastes
and agreeable manner. The banking
house of J. S. Morgan & Co. is known
all over the world, and through it most
Americans transact their London bust
ness. Mr.. Morgan is worth at least
500, 900, 900, and has country house
near London that is noted for its Eliza
bethan architecture and beautiful sur
roundings. The lady to whom they
say he is to be married wears the name
of Mrs. Alice Mason. She discarded
the Sumner name when she got the d.
vorce from the celebrated Massachu-
sets statesman. She was a widow
when he married her. and her first hus-
bands name was Mason. The latter
name she chose to keep. There has al
ways been mystery about her separa-
ton from Sumner. They were mar
ried soon after the war, in 1866, be-
lieve. and the next year she got her
divorce. They lived together but q
few months, when she left him in dis
gust. Sumner was then an old man
and had always lived q bachelor, and
he did not long survive his unfortunate
matrimonial venture. Mrs. Mason is
not yet an old woman, having been
quite young and very attractive in per-
sonal appearance when she was mar
ried to Sumner. She has an ample for
tune in her own right.-NeU York

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1884.
She Rode the Pony.

Deacon Bodkin's daughters, Saman-
tina and Martha, have for long time
watched with longing eyes the young
ladies who frequently pass and repass,
seated in the beautiful and fashionable
dog-carts.
They are just too lovely for any
thing" said Samantha. 1--WE must
tease pa to buy us pony and cart. "
Indeed we must" assented Martha.
What on airth do you gals want OF
one er them stuck-up sorter things?'
inquired the Deacon. The pesky thing'll
run away with ye, likely's not"
'Oh! no, pa, we can drive him. Now,
please do say yes" cried both maidens
in unison, till importantly won.
''Wall, WALL" said the Deacon, 'ef
you two gals will jest stop talking long
enough for me to take nap I'll think
about it.
A few days thereafter beautiful lit
tie white pony made its appearance in
the stable
Now, gals" said the Deacon, 'I,ye
got the boss. but you'll have to wait a
day or two for the cart. Don't 90 to
bein' Uneasy now. He'll keep, FL
warrant ye."
The Deacon had scarcely left the
house before the two young women
led the pony out into the back yard
and were admiring his beauty.
81 do really believe l could ride
him." said Samantha. 81 mean to try
it, anyway"
You haven't any saddle, or habit,
either. Suppose somebody should SEQ
you. warned Martha.
''Who is there to see but you?" ask
ed Samantha, as she led the pony up
name, mounted ''man-fashion.
The pony sprung forward and dash
ed around the yard rs in 4 ring, at the
top of his speed. Samantha screamed
and clasped her arms about the neck
of the animal, and used all her powers
of persuasion to induce him to cease
his performance. But all to no pur-
pose. Round and round he went, till
suddenly he turned with whirl and
plunged toward thegate. Shrieks of hor-
ror burst from the two girls as the gate
yielded and the pony, with Samantha,
now in state of marvellous disha bile,
clinging to his back, rushed out and
tore down the street at the top of his
speed. Shrek after shrek rent the
air and the deacon, who was quietly
vending his way to his office, glancing
about, saw the flying steed and its
rider.
"Mercy's sake" said he, ''Td orter
told the gals bought that pony from
the circus man"
When Samantha and the pony burst
into the circus-tent and made circuit
of the ring the effect was certainly
thrilling and full worth the price of adj
mission. -BOStOn Globe.

An Australian lntoxicant.

Their own stimulant, KAYE, they con-
tinue to use in great quantities., and
many of the Europeans have contract
ed liking for it. All the Wairrapans
have taste of it, and marvel that any
white man can acquire penchant for
such stuff. Its flavor resembles soap
suds more than anything else one can
compare it with. The root used is
botanically known as that of the piper
methisticum; it is hard and woody,
hence the object of the chewing, which
liberates the juices of the root more
freely than any other process. Euro
peans CRATE the root and pound it, but
admit that the liquor is not equal to
the chewed. In Samoa the prepare
ton of the kaya bowl is attended with
very great ceremony, only the young
unmarried girls being allowed to chew
it. The root is cut up into fine pieces,
and the girls, who are directed by the
pettiest of them, first rinse their
mouths, take up piece, and when
sufficiently masticated and formed
into ball, spit il into the bowl. The
chief girl then calls for water, and
after washing her hands directs one of
her companions to pour on the water
while She stlrs the root with her hand.
When enough wateris in, and the balls
are properly mixed with the ingredient.
she takes up strainer made of fibres
of the hibiscus. and passes it from side
to side of the bowl. When the strainer
is saturated she Lifts it high above the
bowl and squeezes the balls through
the strainer in her hand. This is con-
tinued until the kava bowl is ready. 1t
is cOntended by some of the Europeans
who use chewed root that the mastica-
ton is perfectly dry and is a mere
crushing process. but of course an
amount of saliva must get Incorporated
in the process. The medicinal proper
ties of kaya are tonic and nervous Sc
dative, and it is to these effects, and
not to its flavor, that the taste for the
drink arises -Neib0urne Leader

WASHEDOUT HAIR

There is sort of pallid, chalky com
plexion which the novelists call "washed-
out complexion" 1t is CHASTITY enough
and no mistake. Washed out, faded,
discolored, or parti. colored hair is almost
as repulsive and melancholy. Parker's
Hair Balsam will restore your hair to its
original color, whatever it was; brown,
auburn or black. Why wear moss on
your head when you may easily have
lively, shining hair.
