A GAMBLERS FIND.
How "DeaIer'' Felt on Picking up
aSI,O0O BIZ.
Cincinnati Enquirer

Talking about finding money,
said Old Sport, would you believe
me if told you found 81 200 one
timer
mo; but tell it anyhow"
1T was in Washington, Dee See.
The occasion was the Inauguration of
Grant, and there were 200, 600 people
in the streets. / saw a small green
thing lying on the pavement and
something prompted me to pick it up.
After picking the green thing up |
thought it was a patent medicine ad-
vertisement, and was on the point of
throwing it away, but wasn't very
busy just then, so | unrolled it, and
when saw it was n $1,000 bill / was
scared to death. was dealing bank
then, and didn't know what to do
with the find, because | couldn't take
up any excuse for the possession of
so much of the filthy. The main guy
would swear that | was holding out
on aim, aud there would be the devil
to pay; and you bet it would take the
whole of the 81 600 TO pay him. So l
took tho bill to, my boarding house
aud tucked it between the covering OF
my trunk and the outside. | looked
at the paper for several days, but
couldn't see any advertisement for a
lost 81 900 bill | didn't dare get il
changed IN Washington because il
would soon be noised around that l
had big roll, and the snap would be
given away Each day | would
reconnoiter around the old trunk
TO see if the bill was safe, and
I'd change her from place to place.
The fact that the loss was not adver-
tised led me to suspect that Che bloom
ing bull might be counterfeit, and |
was in a terrible stew. But | held on
to it. One day l went over to New
York and took the bill with me. AT
last | screwed up my courage to slap
the bill down on the counter OF a bank,
and asked TO have it changed. The
dealer, or rather cashier, grabbed il
up and squlnted all over both sides of
1t, and / imagined everybody ia the
world was looking at me. Mind you,
this was three months after | found
the bill. After cycling the bill for a
few seconds the cashier laid it aside,
aud / didn't know whether he was
going to set the dog on me or what
but he clinched on to fistful of $50
bills and counted out twenty of them,
which he handed to me. So that was
all right Well, ] felt pretty gay
and / went down to Sandy Hook, and
from there to Long Branch, and back
to New York, over to Philadelphia,
and once more to Washington. Thai
night played faro and got broke.

Merchant Traveller.

In certain city, 'namcless here

was not held in the Hottest esteem by
various persons who were thorough

FATAL FLAMES.
They Destroy the Lives OF Three chill
dren and their Father in Iowa

A dispatch from Anamasa, Iowa.
says: AT Waubeck, a town off the
railroad ffteeA miles northwest Of
Anamosa. the family Of Joseph Fish
err, prominent farmer went To bed
as usual in the second story Of their
house, last night. About midnight
Mr.. Fisher was aroused by the crack
ling aAd glare of flames, which were
eating their way through the lower
portion of the house and enveloping
the stairway. Taking an infant child
from his wife's arms he attempted TO
descend the stairway with it. but was
driven back by the fire and smoke. A
second effort also failed, then he at
tempted to cross a small corridor
and enter the room where the other
two children slept, to rouse them, but
was suddenly overpowered by the
smoke, and fell to the floor with the
child IN his arms and utterly uncons-
cious. His wife endeavored to wake
Kim from this deadly stupor, but il
was in vain. With the energy Of DIES
pair the wife burst into the room
where the children were sleeping, in
tending TO throw feather bed out
upon the ground and drop the child
rem upon it. She was also overcome
by the heat and smoke, and when
her senses returned she found herself
lying upon the ground near the smold
ering ruins of her home, bereft o.
husband and children. The charred
remains of Mr.. Fisher and the infant
child have been found in the ruins
but no trace of the bodies of the 9th.
err two children has been discovered.
the disaster is said to have originated
in a stovepipe, which passed through
awooden partition between the kitch>
en- and the main building
One of the children was a girl of z
years and another a boy of 10.

DEATH.

Reautiful faces are those that wear
N matters little if dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where hearth fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts thai burn below
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs Of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest, and brave and true,
Moment by moment a long life through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
on kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God wills 1t so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers Of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess
Beautiful twilight at set of sun,
Beautiful goal with race well won,
Beautiful rest with work well done.
Beautiful graves where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie deeI
over worn-out hauds-oh, beautiful sleep.

He Used to Lift Cider.
Peck,s sun

At Springfield, New York, a man
tried to lift a Barrel of cider on a
wagon, and broke his back. Now how
much better it would have been, if
he had tried TO lift the barrel on his
back and broken the wagon, but somS
men never learn till it's everlastingly
too late. The writer has not had oc-
casion to lift any cider of late years,
but in days gone by when he was a
strong beatty boy, mis- parents kept a
large barrel Of cider in the cellar. and
nearly every day he would try his
strength IN lifting that cider. He
tried several methods, but the easiest
and most satisfactory way was through
a straw. In that way he avoided III
juring mis- back, but later on his ia
Their also had occasion to try bis
strength on the cider barrel, and while
exercising noticed that the apple juice
was not as numerous as 1t should be
lie decided to watch the barrel, ano
hid behind a refrigerator He hadn'i
long to wait, for presently his worthy
son came tripping gaily down the
steps and after adjusting his straw be
gan to nurse the barrel 1t was then
that the boys back had a very narrow
escape. His father let drive with a
number ten brogan, and for moment
the widest kind OF excitement pre-
vailed. For over a week the boy
could only sit on the soitest OF cush-
ions, and from that day 10 this he has
never taken a drink Of cider without
grabbing his back shuddering.

From Great Wealth TO Squaled Pow
prtV

San Francisco papers report the
death lately ia that city, in the most
wretohed state of restitution, of a
well known character, Johnny Skae,
who seven years ago was estimated to
be worth $40, 600. He was en-
ployed at Virginia City as an opera
tor in the California Telegraph Conn
pany when the four bonanza kings
Flood, O'Brien, Mackay, and Fair
were developing their operations con
uected with the silver mines in Calls
fornia and Virginia City. They com
municated with each other in cipher.
Skae discovered the key TO this cipher,
and became aware, long in advance
of every one else, of the marvels
which were TO astonish the public.
All the money he could command or
borrow he invested in shares of the
two mines, and when the allotment
was finally settled and public excite
ment had somewhat cooled, ii was
found that the telegraph operator was
worth $1,000 600. But he was not
content and speculated largely in
much less safe investments. so that
when the commercial crash came soon
after quite ruined him. He disap>
peared from view until year ago,
when a policeman in San Francisco
found him lying in the street at night,
hopelessly drunk, with only few
small coins.
