An Ancient Vagab0nd.

Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson
amazed and amused an audience the
other evening, by giving them sketch
of New England vagabond of a GEN.
tury ago. He said: "Theft was the oc-
cupation of the hero. For thirty years
he stole everything conceivable, incIud-
ing wives, in winning whom he was as
gifted and versatile as sailor. His op-
erations extended from Canada to Vlr-
ginia, and he had wife in almost every
town in which he tarried for any length
of time. He had special faculty for
getting his pick from sewing circles and
prayer meetings. At different times he
passed himself off as clergyman and
as a physician. He deserted from the
army, and led his pursuers a chase
across the hills of Massachusetts, steal
wanted fresh mount. For stealing a
silver spoon and other small articles he
was sentenced to death, but on reach
ing the gallows found a commitment
which changed the sentence to impris-
onment for life. While in prison he
made record of slang and fash terms
to which little has since been added.
Finally escaping, he went back to his
oldest wife, in Maine, who had borne him
nine children, and devoted himself to
doctoring, eloping once or twice, and
writing his memoirs, which were pub
lished thirty years ago."

Philosophy on the Bridge.

The wind blew strongly across the
bridge. The black Derby of large,
burly, red-faced man suddenly cleared
the iron fence and fell upon the railroad
track. The face of the owner grew red
der as he leaned over the pickets and saw
a train approaching. But he never
moved step, although some thought
less spectators looked on to see him fol-
low the course of his property in mad
resolution to rescue it. A small boy on
the roadway opposite saw his plight,
leaped from his wagon, mounted the
fence, picked up the hat and handed it
10 the owner.
The red faced man said simply.
"Thank you," and resumed his way.
Never go for lost hat yourself" he
observed to companion. "During a
long experience I have uniformly OBJ
served a principle in human nature
which invariably leads somebody else to
run and pick it up"
my dear fellow" replied his COM
panion, "the principle is of universal
application. The great man is not the
one who does things himself, but who
can make others do them for him."

The Pension Agents.

BY an amendment to the Pension Ap
preparation bill of the last session the
penElon agents, who had been growing
rich from the fees of applicants for pen
siops at the rate of ten dollars a case Sc
cured the privilege OF increasing the fee
to twenty-five dollars where they could
make a contract granting them that lib
eral compensation. The agents have,
according to the report recently made
by the Secretary of the Interior, lived
mp to their privilege, and it is said that
rs 600 contracts have been made at
twenty-five dollars each. During the
debate ON the Pension bill in the United
States House, Mr.. A. J.Warner attacked
this scheme to play into the hands of the
claim agents. Not only that, he singled
out so-called soldiers paper published
sin Washington, d. c., and expressed
the hope that the soldiers were aware
that its proprietor was a claim agent
and used his paper as other claim agent:
use their deceptive circulars-to en-
courage applications for pensions, in
crease of pensions, and for other nefari
ous purposes, holding club over the
heads of members who opposed theil
schemes. Thousands of these paper
we're distributed through the country
where they excited the hopes of mel
who felt that they could not do bette
than employ the agents who appeared
TO possess so much influence. .-Nes

A Governors Story.

Senator Groome, of Maryland,
secently narrated the following romantic
incident ia his career:
Several years ago when 1 was q
candidate for Governor of my State, o
gentleman in a neighboring town,
where [ CHANGED to be, said that he
would oppose me on the ground that
was bachelor. He was older than 1
vas, not the best looking man in the
world, and had never been married; so
20 silence him, said in jest that l
would bet him hat that l could find
a lady inside of three years who would
marry me and that was better, I was
sure, than he could do. [ succeeded in
backing him down, but got into an
other difficulty. One of these news
PAPER chaps somehow or other got
uold of what l had said-or, rather,
what 1 hadn't said-and the first thing
that knew I was published as offer
ing to bet that would be married
within three years. A scribe in Balti-
more, to get ahead OF his fellows,
Ventured to give the name of the lady
IN that city to whom 1 was engaged.
From my green and salad days to
that time had not thought of getting
married, much less of making a wife
If the lady mentioned. I happened to
meet her, however, day or two after
ward-for I knew her-and asked her
what she thought of the rumor. She
told me laughingly that if it would aid in
my election she would not condradict
it until after I became Governor. l
believe that it was never contradicted,
and as 1 subsequently, married the lady,
it is now too late to deny it. That
newspaper reporters fertile imagination
secured for me the best wife in the

The Clock in Trinity's Tower.

The clock in Trinity Church tower,
New York city, is the heaviest in Amer
ica. The frame stands nine feet long,
five feet high, and three feet wide. The
main wheels are thirty inches in dame
ter. There are three wheels in the time
train, and three each in the strike and
the chime. The winding wheels are
formed of solid castings thirty inches in
diameter and two inches thick, and are
tlriven by ''pinion and arbor." On
this arbor is placed Jack, or another
wheel, pinion and crank, and it takes
$50 turns of this crank to wind each
weight up. 1t re equires 700 feet of three
inch rope for the three cords, and over
an hour for two men to wind it. The
pendulum is eighteen feet long, and os-
cillates twenty-five times per minute.
The dials are eight feet in diameter, al.
though they look little more than half
that large from Broadway. The three
weights are about 800, 1900 and 1900
pounds respectively. A large box is
placed at the bottom of the well that
holds about bale of cotton waste, SO
that if cord should break, the cotton
would check the concusson.

his wife were seized as they were leaving
town for Chicago, but as there was no
evidence against Hale he was released.
Mrs. Hale was convicted, but on the in
tercession of friends got off with light
sentence, which only recently expired.
A short time ago an elegantly dressed
and strikingly handsome woman entered
a State street store in Chicago, and
asked to see diamond rings and pins.
She selected several, and then quietly
slipped one stone of great value into her
pocket. A clerk standing near saw the
act and telephoned for the police. Two
detectives arrived in a short time. and

So Near and Yet SO Far.

The papers are telling a story of
handsome Ohio girl, who, twenty years
.go, in order to hide an error which
society does not easily overlook, left her
father, and was sought for in vain. A
few weeks since a skeleton was found in
an old stone quarry, by the path which
she took when she left her home. Her
father, now over 80 years of age, and
who had never given up hope of see
ing her again, was bitterly disappointed
and overcome with grief at this discovery.
The account of it was published in the
papers, when shortly after came letter
from his daughter, saying that she was
alive and we'll and could be found on
an island in the creek only six miles
from home, where she had been living in
complete seclusion for 20 years. With
her was her daughter now grown to wom-
snhood. The story of her fathers grief
and his disappointment touched her SO
deeply that she resolved to reveal her
self, feeling confident doubtless that her
long probation and exile had expiated
her youthful fault.
