The Heartless Pearent.

Two ladies moving in the highest
circles of Washington society during
a friendly meeting on the street got
to quareling about their age and
used strong language toward each
other. At last, as il to end the dis
pute, one Of them turned away and
said in a con~ciliatory tone of voice
Let us not quarrel over the mat.
ter any more, / at least have not the
heart to do it. I never knew who
my mother was. for she deserted me
when a baby, and who knows but

A BIG STEAL.
Eight Hundred Greatcoats Taken

Eight Hundred Greatcoats Taken
az One swoop.
A short time ago a remarkable
phenomenon was observed ut Lyons,
the second city in France. One fine
morning a number Of cabmen were
seer attired in cavalry overcoats and
caps. Some Of The Jehus patronized
the cuirassier garment, others that
worn by the smart hussar, nor was
the artillery greatcoat unrepresented
in this bevy of uniforms. The next
day local carriers, similarly trayestied,
cracked their whips gayly in the
faces of admiring pedestrians. This
transformation mutually attracted
notice, and some of the officers Of the
garrison took the liberty of inquiring
how these gentry had come by their
military habiliments. They were
frankly informed that the coats bad
been paid for honestly at sums vary
ing from 10f. to IT,, according to
their splendor and dimensions. 1t
so happened that from time to time
divers capes and overcoais kept in the
garrison storehouses had disappeared
mysseriously, SO the officers, putting
two and two together, determined on
starting a searching investigation.
Suspicion soon fell ON several cuiras-
siers, guDners and military %tailors,
and these persons, numbering eight
in all, have just been brought to
trial, convicted and condemned to
various terms of imprisonment. No
less than 500 greatcoats had been
distracted. Another affair Of q
similar kind is at the present NOM
ont in course of examination, nine
men being under lock and key
