A MetamornhOsed Tramn.

An unknown man whose feet were cut
off by a freight train at Erie, Penna.,
turns out to be John Oscar Graham,
graduate of Dublin College. and for
merly civil engineer in the English SER
vice. He says he left ireland five years
ago to acquire wealth in order to carry
out a fixed purpose in life, and that the
large amount of bills and bonds found
in his waistband are the savings of toll.
He has been working as day laborer
under an assumed name and stole a ride
rather than draw upon his treasure to
pay his fare to Erie. He deposes that
the conductor of the Nickel Plate freight
deliberately knocked him off running
train, raining blows upon him with a
lamp.

NEAR, YET FAR.

So near and yet, think, as far apart
As heaven from hell high noon from darkest
night
Or buried face from longing lovers sight;
dream of you and then from dreams 1 start
To hear the beatings Of my own sad heart,
That snatched from dreams impossible
plight,
But quickly wakes again in wretched de-
light,
To meet the days keen pain and ceaseless
smart
How shall comfort, then, my lonesome wears.
Slnee dreams are dim and sleeping-time is
brief?
For very full am of restless fears,
Blown to and fro, as is a vagrant leaf:
ana well know how idle are the tears
1nat burn my aching eyes, yet mock my
grief.

The Louisiana LOtGePy's Bogus
Endorsements.

The Louieiana State Lottery Co. has
sent out large number of circulars
containing certificates of T. NJ. Wes-
coat, as Agent of the Southern Express
Co., at New Orleans, certifying that the
capital prize alleged to have beea
drawn last September by certain par
ties had been distributed through his
company. Among the names of those
given as the alleged lucky ones is that
of a servant girl Of this city, who de-
clares that she never bought a lottery
ticket in her life, and she can only ac-
count for the fact that NJ. A. Dauphin
and his fellow frauds has her name
on the ground that some months ago
she applied for employment at an en-
plOyment agency, where her name was
recorded, and she was solicited to buy a
lottery ticket OF the Louisiana State
Lottery. 1t is crying shame to what
contemplate methods this sWindling
concern will resort to bolster up it's wa
ming fortunes, and strange that the
Post Office Department does not follow
up some of these clues, and thus secure
evidence of fraud that would enable the
Postmaster General to shut down on
the band of lottery thieves at New Or
leans.-Agents' Herald, Philadelphia.

The Tooth Factory.

The domain of the dentist is about to
be disputed. A great discovery has
been made which will revolutiOnize the
whole business, and emancipate the
sufferers. A factory has been estab-
lished with plenty of capital to back it,
for the purpose of making sets of arti-
fetal teeth by machinery. All that
anyone who is troubled with his teeth
will have to do will be to get them all
pulled out. Then he can purchase a
brand new machlne-Inade set and be ex-
empt from toOtbache all the rest of
his life. There is, of course, nothing
new in the making and using of artifi-
ciai teeth, but it will be easily seen that
the manufacture by machinery pre-
sents great advantages. When the
making of watches by machinery was
started there were many protests that
the new way would never be as good
as the old. But the exactness soon at
tanned, and the convenience of having
the parts interchangeable, brought
about a revolution, and the factory
watches now rauk above the handmade.
The same advantages will be had in
the factory teeth. If one set gets bro
ken, or comes out an exactly similar
one can be ordered from the factory at
very small cost, It the plate gets
cracked it can be replaced in the same
way. All that will be necessary will be
to give the number of the plate, aud a
new one, precisely like the old one will
be sent by return mail.-N. Z. Mail and
Express.

The following singular story is relat-
ed in special from Vicksburg "The
report that there is an organized band
of kuklux among negroes in Issaquena
county, sent out from this city is un-
true. Some two years ago there was
society organized at Ben Lomond Lam
ding and at several points along the
river by colored people, by the name of
Independent Order of Sons and
Daughters of st. Jacob of America. y
About two months ago two of the men
were charged with making public the
secrets of the order. These men be-
longed to the Ben Lomond Lodge. They
were tried by the Lodge and sentenced
to be hung, which was done by 13 men
Of the order. The deed was discovered
however, before the men hung were
dead and were cut down. The names
of the men who did the hanging were
discovered, and the. parties were ar
rested and tried before cplored mag
istrate named Diggs, who fined them

WILL YOU LEND ME AV?
The Method of an Expert BOr-
rover

"Sonle men are never able to keeE
along with good deal, while Other
men seem to have an excellent time oi
it on nothing" mused the philoso-
pher.
Il have often observed that phenom-
ena myself" returned the disciple,
"HOw do you account for it 2"
"The principal reason, as [ view it,
my young friend, is knowing how to
borrow the whereWithal. When you
haven't got it, and somebody else has,
if you only know how to do it you can
generally manage to keep up a healthy
circulation. 1t is only necessary that
yon have a large and ever-increasing
circle of acquaintances, my son, and
know how to play your cards, and you
can't help winning. This borrowing
business is the most ancient chestnut
in the world. but it is always fresh and
new to the victims. The world is made
up off1eeces and persons willing to be
1eeced, and if you are man of infinite
variety you may continue to make mer-
ry at your friends expense
AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.
Here are my rules for borrowing.
Study your man before you tackle him.
Ii lie is of sensitive and cOnfiding dis
position, take him aside and pour tale
of woe into his ear. If he is neither
sensitive nor confidiug, never ask. him
except when he is surrounded by ac-
quaintances. Then he will be ashamed
to refuse. Between iniudicious sympa-
thy and false pride you can find field
large enough for your talents. Once in
a while you have to change your base,
you know. An expert borrower told
me it took about two years TO exhaust a
single community. Always borrow a
dollar three times and pay back again,
and the fourth time stick him heavy.
That's my rule. 1T is infallible. ."-Bos-

why They BECOME Tramps.

A laborer just returned from tile South
Gays that thousands of workingmen are
tramping it from Memphis to New Or
leans searching for work, which they
were told was to be found there. The
man claims that he was sent by Gin
cinnati employment agency to Trotters
Landing, Tenn. Upon his arrival at
Memphis he found hundreds who had
been sent to Trotters, only to find that
there was no work down there. The
levee scheme worked by Northern en-
ployment agencies is a delusion and a
snare for the apportiOnment FOR the pur-
pose of building levees this year was
very small, only about $t60OO0, and the
work is well in hand. Out of every
hundred laborers induced to go South to
do levee work, and who first paid for
the privilege of going, at least 80 per
cent. are turned helpless upon the
streets, without cent TO secure food
and lodging. In short time as re-
suit they became real tramps, spreading

in the leading cities of the North and

Railroad Freight Discrimina-
GiOas

These inequalities in rates of railroad
passenger and freight charges cause
great dissatisfaction throughout the
country, and, inasmuch as the States
afford no relief, Congress is asked to
enact measures which will to such ex-
tent as is possible protect the farming
and other agricultural interests from
unjust determinations. AS an in
stance of this, it was shown in the de-
bate that the freight charges exacted
for transportation of bushel of wheat
$50 miles from Abilene, Kan, to Kansas
City, Mo-, was Is cents, while the rate
from Kansas City to New York, say
1900 miles was cents. In other words,
in that section west of the Missouri
river, where there is practically no rail-
road competition, it costs 10 cents more
to move bushell of wheat 15G miles
than to transfer it 1900 miles east of the
Missouri River.
