A Sign Of Good Times.

The year which is just about TO close"
sad pawEbroker of the Bowery to a re-
porter for the New York Maitland Erpress.
has been particularly improbable one
Tor our business. The reason is plain
enough. This year has been n fairly pro-
Inc one for the general population OF this
city. am in n position to know whether
or not the poor are really suffering from
want more than usual. My shop is the
rendezvous OF persons in search OF money.
Less than half as many persons visit
my store now as last year. / at
tribute the cause of this depression to
the TACT that more are working now
than heretofore. All classes of workers
are now busy. Only those who do not
wish to work are idle. Those who are
toiling find it unnecessary to pledge the
lew articles OF personal property they
possess. Their wages suffice to keep them
alive, and that is all they require. But
the absence of these regular customers is
not alone the reason of our business be-
ing bad. There are about three thousand
]ewelry stores in this metropolis. Ten
per cent. oil that number are engaged in,
to them, an unlawful business. They, in
quiet manner, are carrying on pawn
brokers' pursuit and at the same time
Among the middle class there are
many, as you know, who would sooner
starve than be seen entering pawn
shop. Through good causes they are
compelled at times to resort to strategy
in order to obtain money for one purpose
or another. Well, by simply taking a
watch and breaking one of its hands, or
something else, they can enter one of
these pseudo jewelry stores, pretending
to inquire what repairs will cost. After
being informed they will pur-
posely hesitate a moment and
then remark: you can have it
ready for me by Saturday, but until l
come l wish you TO advance me $1O.'
That is just what the keeper of the store
wants, for he knows there are ten chances
to one OF the owner never calling again
for his property. They can afford to give
more money on goods than we, because
little polishing up will make them new,
or they can remelt the gold and realize
twice the amount of money advanced.
But the evil Of the business is apparent.
A thief, for instance, may take diamond
ring which he has pilfered. and by merely
going to the jeweler with makeshiit
OF having an inscription put on the in
side, can obtain a good sum. There are
no questions asked, and the thief knows
the police have not their eyes on jewelry
stores. No, the jeweler does not run any
risk of being caught with the stolen
goods, for he can say it was left with him
for repairs by SO and SO, or for that mat
ter he could easily place the stone in
another setting. If you have any valu-
ables, go up to some of those stores and
I'll wager you will raise money quick
enough.'

A Very Young Traveller.

The Ohio & Mississippi railway train
had novel express package last night,
in the person OF an 1S-months-old babe,
which was shipped from Cincinnati to
Vincennes without any further attendant
than the kind officers of the train and the
willing passengers. The child was
George Solomon, and was shipped to
its grandmother for safe keeping, its
parents having separated. The infant sat
up all the way, never cried, and when it
reached Vincennes, Depot Master Mech
ling bundled the cherub up, and, taking
it in his arms, volunteered to carry it to
its street and number rs labeled. Its
grandmother was overioyed to receive it,
and paid its fare willingly, which was
SO 80. Conductor McCoilum says the
babe was the youngest traveller on record
