James Payn. in COrnhin Magazine.
A great jewel robbery was committed
at the West end under very ingenious
circumstances. A gentleman and lady
staying at fashiOna BILE hotel had or
dered large quantity of very valuable
gOOds-chiehy diamOnds-tO be brought
to them for inspection. They drugged

and got clear away with all the sWag. 1t
so happened that the whole adventure
had been, as 1t were, prefgured in Cham
6ers Journal twelve months before. A
contributor had imagined and written
the ineinent just as it afterWard occurred,
and the story had so recommended itself
to some member Of the criminal class
that he had put it into practical eZecu-
ton. The jeweler thereupOn wrote to
the editor Of the Journal poor mel,
charging him, not, indeed, with actual
completely in the crime, but as having
been accessory to it before the fact.
Under the pretense of elevating the
Masses he Indignantly observed, "you
suggest to them ingenious methods for
robbing honest tradesmen." My answer
to this gentleman was, 1 aatter myself,
complete. pointed out to him that if
honest tradesmen would only read the
respectable periodical had the honor
to edit-a moral duty not neglected, 1t
seemed, even by the lowest ciasses-they
would put themselves on their guard
against such catastrOphes. My position
compelled me to appear to sympathize
with the offenders, but have always
thought they showed themselves miser-
ably deficient in gratitude in never send
ing my contributor the least acknowl-
edgment- even one of the rings of
which they had so many-fOr what he
had done for them.

The Parlor Daughter.

Detroit Free Press.
A great deal of fault is found with the
parlOr daughter. 1t is said Of her that
she sits at the piano and sings "What is
Home Without a MOther2" while the
mother in question is tOiling over the
fire in the basement. No doubt this is
true, for the parlOr daughter nearly al
ways has a kitchen mother, a good plain,
sensible woman, who says young peO-
pie Will be young people" and takes ev-
cry burden from her pretty daughters
shapely shoulders to put them on her
own, already bowed down with care.
So you see it is often the mothers own
fault that there is a parlOr daughter.
She loves this daughter and wants her
to enjoy life while she is young, so she
does the work of a servant and Is happy
IN so doing. She loves to hear LOtCIe
play on the piano. 1t seems to her that
she could work all day to the accompan-
iment of "Silver Threads Among the
Gold" or "ViOlets" She has been all
her life trying to learn one tune, and has
never accomplished it yet. And LOttie
is pretty, and has white hands with ia
pering fingers, and goes to a manicure.
The parlOr daughter had no trouble to
educate her mother up to all those ad-
vadced ideas. She was a willing pupil
She remembers what a hard time she
had when she was young, and goes to
the other extreme with Lottie, who does
nothing but amuse herself, and must
have help to that. She is stylish and it
pays to dress her well. She has a knack

cOmplisements that to the mother indi-

ind It, but being only too happy to add
thereto. As 1nal specimen of the non
sense circulated about his appearance.
perhaps the following is the best. A
wonderful sight, it is said, was witnessed
on Primrose Hill one evening. On the
summit appeared the huge figure of q
man, IN a lame Of pale blue; 1t then as
sumed the bulk Of a massive elephant,
then OF windmill In full operation.
and lastly, IN lessening its dimensions.
1t became a large ball of snow, which
rolled down the hill md escaped further
notice. W hat Spring-heeled Jack had
TO do with this dreadful appearance is
not at all clear, but it was attributed to
him, nevertheless, such was the hold
that ne had obtained over the public
mind.
Whether too much attention was be-
ginning to be paid to him with a view
TO his capture, or whether his love of
mischief had died out, cannot be told,
but certain 1t is that nothing was known
publicly OF this singular being, after
april, 1888, having kept London in fer
ment OF excitement and terror for about
SIX months. The foregoing are only a
few Of the stories, VeraciOns OrotherWise,
that were related Of him, space not per-
