What Broke His Health.

From the New York Sun.
II lay my broken health" said a cadaverous
looking man in Kinks cafe, ''entrely to S4OO
overcoat and 5000 diamond pin. The pin
was given me in a moment of rash generosity
by man whom l had befriended for many
years in the west, and it first appeared in my
cravat the 1st day of December four years
ago. AT no time during the bitter and awful
winter which followed did turn up the collar
OF my coat or button the garment across my
chest
"Whv?"
Because it obscured the pin. 1t left me
with bronchitis and diphtheretical sore thr oat.
and after lot of misery purchased a big fur
coat 1t was devilish stylish looking sort of
a thing, and could never find it in my heart
to throw it off or leave it at home. The result
was that used to wear it on warm days. and
sit with it on in saloons until was in a drip,
and then go out with the lapels thrown back
and the wind playing briskly over my chest.
1t gave me pneumonia twice, and then / got
rid OF both the pin and the coat, but have
never been the same man since"

Deacon Staples Parrot,

From the Boston Transcript.
few years ago there still lived in the serene
old town of W, where, perhaps, as MANY
families distinguished in the annals of Massa-
chusetts have originated as in any other town
except Boston, lady who maintained to her
ninety-seventh year, and to the very day of
her death, keen and active mind stored to
the brim with anecdotes and "reminiscences
which gave very original flavor to her always
bright conversation. Aunt H, as her
friends always called her, could talk well uDon
any subject that was chosen although theology
was, perhaps, her speciality; it took a redoubt-
able antagonist to stand up before her on that
topic. She was often visited, when past ninety.
by well-k public men, who found no little
inspiration in her discourse. 1t was a common
saying that Aunt H, no matter how telling
an anecdote or story was related to her. could
surpass 1t with something out of her own ex-
perlence or recollection that would be new to
her hearers.
One day, when she was in her ninetv.si xth
year, Aunt H was visited by Boston clergy
man, who, III the course of a brisk converse
ton, ventured to tell her the story of the mon
Key and the parrot, in illustration of some
point that was made. That lively anecdote
was new to Aunt H, and the people present
were wondering little with what local remin-
lscence she could possibly match it. She heard
the story with unruffied visage, and then re-
marked
That must have been a very remarkable
parrot but 1t seems to me he hardly comes up
to Deacon Staples parrot, after all.'
What did Deacon Staples parrot do?"
'One time the deacon's wife was putting M
cucumber pickles in the kitchen and the par
rot-he was very knowing bird and had been
piously brought up in the deacon's family-was
sitting on the back of chair watching the ope-
ration. Presently, when the deacon's wifes
back was turned the parrot slipped up and
stole one of the pickles out of the dish. She
turned around in time, however, to catch him
at IT, and threw her knife at him with such
force that 1t took all the feathers smoothly off
the top of the birds head
The parrot flew around for some DAYS in sore
distress at the loss Of his top-knot, but recoy-
cred 1t in the course of time. One day, some
little time after this incident, a minister who
had exchanged with our minister came to spend
the Sabbath at Deacon Staples. The parrot
was in the dining-room when the family and
the minister came in to breakfast. The cler-
gyman was very bald; his head fairly shone.
He hadn't more than got seated at the table be-
fore the parrot, fixing his gaze on the minister,
screamed out:
:. Ia! ye burned old scamp! Been stealing
picklesr"

The Fakir's Little Trick.

HOW A HALF DOLLAR WAS MADE TO DISAPPEAR.
Persons passing the space at the corner Of
Pennsylvania avenue and It'll street wednes-
day evening were treated to rare fun. A street
fakir was crying his wares in stereotyped
speech before quite large crowd. To keep
the spectators interested the fakir interspersed
his speech with tricks of magic. small COL
ored boy was yanked up on a box close beside
the would-be magician, and told to open his
mouth This was done somewhat reluctantly,
and the takir proceeded to make half dollar
disappear by pretending to throw it down the
httie fellows throat He was successful in
making the money disappear but ON trying TO
restore the coin by pulling it from the back of
the lads neck the coin slipped, and il fell down

ms advantage in the situation, jumped from
the box and made good his escape. much to

The peculiar circumstances under which the
Rev. Henry F. Aud, late rector of st. Mary's

that Mr.. Aud was greatly excited on the occa-

JAMES A. GINNITY HELD To ANSWER CHARGE
OF FORGERY.

JAMES A GINNITY HELD To ANSWER CHARGE
OF FORGERY.
James A. Ginhity is the name of a young
Washingtonian who was arrested YESTERDAY
afternoon in Baltimore, and held to answer
charges of forgery alleged to have been COM
mitted in this city. The prisoner is well known
here in sporting circles. His father died about
four years ago and left him some money. As
long as his cash lasted he had many friends.
but when he had squandered il they deserted
HIM Then he had to raise money to keep up
the style which he had formerly displayed. He
was soon suspected Of irregular practices, but
his acquaintance were slow to believe that he
was doing anything wrong. Then complaint
after complaint reached the police of his imam
clal transactions, and the matter was placed in
the hands of Detectives Raft and Horne who
made an investigation, as the result of which
the latter officer swore out a warrant
charging Ginnity with forgery. He was To-
Gated IN Baltimore. where he was captured yes-
terdty- When Detective Horne brought him
back to this city the prisoner told the officer
that he only got about S25 or $50 from num-
Der of persons. Charles Sloan, Henry Nc
Cram. 5. Stinemez. Joseph Fitzgerald, and
walter T. Shreeves he remembered as persons
nom whom he got money. The warrant
against the prisoner charges him with forging

to note requesting the loan of SIS from Jos.
Fitzgerald. of the Garrick saloon His plan
was 70 sign the name OF some person to a note
requesting small loan from friend of the
person whose name he signed. Then he would
send the note by messenger who would re-
turn with the money. The prisoner is twenty
seven years old After spending the money
.left by his father he accepted a position as
gate-keeper at the baseball grounds. He was
afierward employed by Rodier 4 Gallagher as a
bartender. He was locked up at the first pre-
cinct station, where he is held for a hearing in
the Police Court tomorrow.
THE PRISONER RELEASED on BAIL.

attention to the charge against Ginnity and

at 500 which was furnished by Mr.. CARING
