An Unhappy Practical Joker.

Practical jokers and smart Alexis not
infrequently come to grief. AS rule
they are a selfish lot, and care little how
victims in carrying out their schemes for
their own amusement.
An over-smart practical joker, who is a
broker as well as a joker, named Duncan
Il. Norvell, aud who is a member of the
New York Produce Exchange, tried to
amuse himself at the expense of his tailor
a day or two ago, and now he wishes that
he had let the tailor alone. He ordered a
suit of clothes and received them, but
neglected TO furnish the cash for them.
The tailor went tn the Produce Exchange,
and Broker Norvell gave him what pre-
tended to be a check. He put it in his
pocket and was leaving the Exchange,
when Norvell called to him to read it, be-
cause 1t might not be exactly what he
thought it was. The tailor read the
document, and found that 1T di-
rected that no dollars be paid
TO him. There was also some slanderous
writing on the alleged check. The bro
kers, led by Norvell, then began to have
fun with the tailor, and pretty rough fun
1t was. The poor tailor was jostled and
hustled about, his clothes rumpled and
his hat mashed and other indignities
were offered him.
He called on mis- lawyer to see what re-
dress be could get for his grievances, and
that astute individual at once told him
that he had a strong case against Broker
Norvell, and that the broker could be
made to pay dearly for having written the
slanderous words on the alleged check.
Almost before Broker Norvell was fairly
well done laughing over the tailor's dis
comdture he received notice TO respond to
a silt for libel to the amount of $4,000.
II would not be strange II tue tailor
should win his suit and compel the broker
to pay him a very good part OF the $4,000
claim,

Diving for 100000.
Frona the Pan NM G1entte


The ERglish divers and Capt. r.. f. Stevens,
LlOyd's surveyor, have inst returned from the
Island of Grand Canary after raising sum
of no less than 100000. This amount was
lying submerged 1873 feet deep about a mile
from the southernmost limit OF the Island
Grand Canary. The treasure went down
about two years ago in a brand new Spanish
steamer called the Alphopso XII. The steam
er had on board $1,000 worth of Spanish
dollars on their way tOsCuba. The insurance
on the money was effected at Lloyd's, and
was paid over to the insurers after the vessel
fOundered.
After a lapse of over a year Capt. r. +.
Stevens and three English divers were sent
out to Grand Canary to try and recover the
sunken treasure. They succeeded in bringing
up nine boxes containing specie of the value
of { 10000 each. but the tenth box could not
be found, and the divers had to come away
without it. The money was in the mail rovm
almost at the bottom of the ship. The decks
had t. be forced by explosion, and when the
mail room was reached the plucky divers had
to haul the boxes from one deck to the other
until the top deck of the vessel was reached.
The wreck lay on a ridge of rocks, and one Of
the fears entertained before the explosion
was effected was that the force night prec pi-
tate the vessel to almost fathOm ess de pths.
Fortunately, the fear was not realized, but
the explosion sent to the surface thousands of
dead fab.

Prospect of the Tariff Bill.

1t is not regarded as certain by the tar
III reformers that the tariff bill will pass
the House. 1t is stated that Speaker Car
Isle has made an estimate OF those who
are likely to vote for, and those who will
probably vote against the bill, and fluids
that eleven votes are needed to secure its
passage. There are, however. according
to his estimate fourteen members wno
have not yet made up their minds with
respect to the course which they will
pursue, and of these fourteen Mr.. Car
Isle thinks eleven can be secured for the
bill.
To pass the bill 162 votes are necessary.
II is about certain that 151 Democrats
have determined to vote for il, and that
nine have the question under Amusement.
There are among the Republicans
five members who are considered
doubtful, and who are much more
likely to vote for than against it.
The nine hesitating Democrats and
five doubtful Republicans comprise the
fourteen members from among whom the
tariff reiormers hope to get the necessary
eleven votes.
The protectionists make an altogether
different statement. They say that they
have TIA votes certain, and that they can
Kill the bill, or amend it into any shape
they may desire to. They always make
il point not to be modest in their claims.
BY making show of strength they, doubt
less, hope to win to their support the few
members, such as are fo1nd in almost
every legislative body, who want to be on
the winning side.

Practicing Law by Ear.

FFoHt tftc DWH NV EAUTcoNs
Among the friends of Grover Cleveland
when he was practicing law in this city was
another attorney, but one of rather different
stamp than the man of DESTINY; The friend
was a bright fellow, but with the bump of
laziness abnOrmallY developed. He was not
well-read lawyer, and whenever it was ne
cessary for him to use a decision bearing on
any point it was his habit to lounge into
Cleveland's Office and casually worm the de-
sired informa ion out of his friends mental
storehouse Grover was not SO dun as not to
appreciate the fact and to resent the sponging
MOTTO much because the process was worldly
of that name as because he wished to spur his
friend on TO more energetic w,rk.
One dag the friend came in on his usual err
rand, and when Cleveland had heard the pre-
rminares usual TO the pumping process the
latter told his questOner that he had given
HIM all the Information on law matters that
he was going to.
"There are my books" said Cleveland,
land you're welcome to use them. You can
read up your own cases "
- ee here, Grover Cleveland" said the
friend, II want you to understand that
don't read law. / prac ice entirely by ear,
and your books can go To thunder"

beset by dangers. Every day one hears of
serious accidents to those who are trying
to work their way to the stars. Here is
one who was knocked out by loosely

by base ball, another is crippled for life
while playing foot bali, another gets his
limbs twisted out OF joint while practic-

falls from trapeze and narrowly escapes
the grave. 1t seems that there are no

Col. George Balm, of Kentucky, one of
the finest temperance orators in the coun-
try, delivered a lecture in Music Hall,
Boston, a few evenings ago in which he
said some things which pleased the Boz
ton people. He gave the boys and girls
some excellent advice and showed them
the Importance of living honest, virtuous,
industrious and clean lives. The boy he
said VINO is honest and industrious is
pretty certain to rise in the world. "The
greatest men OF the world, " be said,
''were poor boys. Who knows but that fifty
years from now the grandson of Wander
bilt may be wretched tramp, while the
poor woman's child may, twenty years
from now, be filing the Presidential
chair? like to look on the bright side OF
life, especially for poor boys. 1t is not
what you have, but how you live, that
makes you happy"
1t is no doubt true that many of the mil
lionaries of this country were poor boys,
and it Is also true that there are men in
all of our large cities who were brought up
in wealth and luxury and who are now
little better than tramps.
