A Clock IN q Bnstle.

An amusing story reaches US from
Paris. On Friday last lady, having
paid her hotel bill, sent away her boxes
on q cab and sailed forth on foot. No
sooner had she departed than the landlord
discovered that the clock had disappeared
from the mantlepiece of The room which
his late Iodger had been occupying,
though he remembered to have seen it
there subsequent to her trunks being
dispatched. Convinced that she must be
the thief he rushed out in hot pursuit,
and, overtaking her, he charged her with
the robbery and gave ler into custody,
the lady meanwhile protesting loudly
against the indignity offered her., and
vowing vengeance against the traducer.
She was, however, taken before the Judge
d'Instruction, to whom she resumed her
torrent of indignant denial with the
extraordinary volubility peculiar to the
daughters OF Gaul. Her indignation was
at its height when 10 ! II o'clock rang
forth in clear tones from the region OF

A Curious Case.

A London dispatch announces that
Capt. Dudley and the mate of the wreck
ed Mignonette have, been sentenced to
death for killing and eating boy named
Parker while they were ahoat in al open
boat on the ocean.
The Mignonette was O. steam yacht,
and was wrecked in the Indian ocean.
The captain, mate and boy escaped from
the wreck in small boat with INSULT.
Client provisions and water. After their
supplies were exhausted they endured
the pangs of hunger for several days,
hoping ali the time to be rescued by a
passing vessel. The boy became so
weak that he was not able to rise from
the bottom of the boat. At last it was
determined by the captain and mate that,
as the boy had only few hours to live,
they would kill him and endeavor to sas'
tain their lives until help came. They
carried out their determination and were
rescued. As soon as they arrived in
England they made known all the cir.
cumstances connected with the wreck and
the death of the boy.

demned men will be pardoned. 1t is
probable that they would not have been
convicted if the opinion had not pre-
vailed that their acguittal would have
established a precedent that would have
served as an excuse for others to commit
similar crime when the necessity was
not so great. The mental condition OF
the captain and mate wac such, probably,
that they were not responsible for their
act. 1t can hardly be possible that they
escaped the perils of the sea to die the
death of murderers. 1t is doubtful if
there is such another case in the annals
of Jurisprudence.

"Well, what do you want of me r =
"Simply to 60 in and offer him Sl5. II

James promptly consented, and when
he offered Sis for one of the coats
the dealer promptly accepted. 1t was
done up in neat bundle, and Mr.. Turk
carried it out to the corner for delivery
and payment. The other party was n OF
there. MI. Turk waited half an hour
three quarters-over an hour, and the
indea crept through his wool that he had

and asked:
"What is your asking price for these

Eight dollars"
"But I paid you SIS"

How to Word an Advertisement.
A man waa denouncing newspaper ad
~ , orord of liotopora.

A man waa denouncing newspaper ad-
vertising to g. crowd of listeners:
"Last week." said he, II had an
umbrella stolen from The vestibule Of the
church. 1t was gift, aud valuipg it
very highly, spent double its worth in
advertising, but have not recovered it."
GLOW did you word the advertise
ment?" asked merchant.
"Here it it," said the man, producing
a slip cut from newspaper.
The merchant took it and read:
"Lost, from the vestibule of the -
church, last Sunday evening, black
silk umbrella. The gentleman who took
it will be handsomely rewarded by leav-
ing it at No. High Street."
"Now," said the merchant, 81 am q
liberal advertiser, an d have always found
it paid me we'll. A great deal depends
on the manner in which the advertise
ment is put. Let US try for your umbrella
and if you do not acknowledge that ad.
vertising pays, I will purchase you new
one"
The merchant took slip Of paper
from his pocket and wrote:
"If the man who was seen to take the
umbrella from the vestibule of the -
church last Sunday does not wish to get
into trouble and have stain cast upon
the Christian character which he prizes
so highly, he will return it at once to No:
High Street. He is we'll known"
This duly appeared in the paper, and
the following morning the man vas
astonished when he opened the front door
of his residence. On the porch lay at
least dozen umbrellas, of all shades and
sizes, that had been thrown in, while the
front yard was literally paved with
umbrellas. A number of them had notes
attached to them, saying that they had
been taken by mistake, and begging the
loser to keep the little affair quiet

The New South,

BALTIMORE, January 1.-THE Balti.
more Manuta Record, in itsannnal
review Of the Southern industries, will
tomorrow publish list of all manufac:
turing and mining enterprises organized
in the Southern States in 1884, giving
the name, location and character of the
business of each. The list shows $4,000
new enterprises, with an aggregate capi-
tai reaching the enormous sum of $685.
269, 500, divided among fourteen Southern
States, as follows: Alabama 1877 new
establishments, with capital of S16,-
925 600; Arkansas 46; with capital of
5000, 600; Florida 95, with $2,323, 900
capital; Georgia 1876, with SIS, 5,455, 900
capital Kentucky l37, with S21, ,762, 600
capital; Louisiana So, with S5,534, 900
capital; Maryland los, with 81, ,l21;600
capital; Mississippi 40, with 81 ,295D00
capital; North Carolina 226, with
s4,l19,O0O capital; South Carolina So,
with 81, 1884, 900 capital; Tennessee 250,
with S7,9l0.0OO capital; Texas 2l2, with
$1O,77S,0O0 capital; Virginia 1S8, with
$13, 3,4oO,000 capital; West Virginia n,
with $429, 200 capital. In Kentucky,
Alabama and Virgins some extensive
mining aud iron companies, with large
capital, have organized, which runs up
the total of investments in those States,
though they also added many of the
smaller industries. The list shows that
almost ever branch of general manufac.
lures is represented. Cotton and WOODEN
mills, machine shops, foundries, blast
furnaces, ice factories, saw mills, planning
mills. building material factories, fnrni-
ture factories, carriage and Wagon facto-
ries, handle factories, etc., are very nu
merous. There are many flour mills and
more tobacco factories, and large num-
Der of cotton seed oil mills, as we'll as
mining enterprises of all kinds, gold,
silver, copper, mica, ore, coal, etc. A
noticeable feature is the amount of
Northern and Western capital going into
the South, though the Southern people
are themselves showing remarkable ener.
gym developing their resources.
