Ba1Is-Lo, the Poor Wooden Indian.

The BARRIERS Fole and Our Uncle's Three
BalIs-Lo, the Poor Wooden Indian.
"Can ye not discern the signs of the
timesln
Reference is not to political prognoStica-
tons, nor to mathematical Authorizations,
nor to the signs of the zodiac, but to the COM
mon, everyday signs in front % stores and
places of business.
Why does striped pole always indicate a
BARRIERS shop-beg pardon, tonsorial parlorl
Because, in the good old days long since
gone by, BARRIERS used TO be surgeons. The
rapid advance of science has caused them to
fall from their high estate. The gilt knob at
the end of the pole represents brass basin,
which used to be actually suspended from
the pole The basin had notch cut in it to
fit the throat, and was used for lathering Gus
toners who came to be shaved. The pole
represents the staff held by persons in vene-
section; and the two spiral stripes painted
around it signify the two bandages, one for
twisting round the arm previous to the act
of phlebotomy or blood letting and the other
for binding. This is the whole story, and,
like every scandal and all the talk of the
town, it is ''omnibus notum tonsoribus"
Why do three gilt balls always indicate
pawnbroker's shopl
Because the Lombard family, who were
the first great money lenders in England,
used that sign, and from them it was appro-
priated and handed down by the pawn
brokers Three golden balls constituted
the emblem Of st. Nicholas, who is said to
have given three purses of gold TO three
virgin sisters to enable them to marry. Three
golden balls also formed the cogniZance Of
the Medici family, probably representing
three golden pills-a punning device on the
name. However, the shylocks have I'M
doubtedly taken the sign from the Lombards,
whatever may have been its earlier history.
Why does a wooden Indian always indicate
a tobacco storei
Because tobacco is the great American
plant and was originally used by the Indians.
This however, is mooted question. Meyen,
in his topography Of Plants" is of the
opinion that the smoking of the "flthy weed"
is of great antiquity among the Chinese, be-
cause ON very old scriptures he has observed
the very same tobacco pipes which are now
in use." If there is any foundation for this
idea, then it would be about as appropriate
to adorn the front Of a tobacco store with
wooden Chinese as with the figure of one OF
Americas aborigines; in fact, it would be
preferable because 1t would be novel. Let
dealers study up the question for themselves
and act accordingly. The smoking of tobacco
was found by Columbus to be practiced In
the West Indies, where the natives made it
into cylindrical rolls wrapped in maize leaf.
With the American Indians it had then, and
still has, a religious character, and is con-
nected with their worship and with ell their
important transactions. Thyme In

Building the Union Pacific.

"The Iawlessness that prevailed during the
construction of the road was something I'M
exampled in the country since the early days
of California. The workmen were Irish for
the most part, and inclined to be violent, but
they were not murderous. But the road
gangs were accompanied by a perfect swarm
of gamblers, who robbed the men Of their
last cent, and were a fearful pest. These
men were old frontiersmen, who were accus-
toned to settling all disputes with the knife
and pistol, and the Irish fell like sheep be-
fore them At the right Of each dealer at
the numerous faro tables lay heavy army
revolver with the barrel sawed off to render
its handling more easy and rapid, and In
many cases the catches on the hammer were
filed away. The reason for this was that
pistol Of this kind could be discharged in
second by simply drawing back the hammer
and letting it fall again, thus saving several
seconds of valuable time Before such men
the Irish, unskilled in arms, were helpless,
and many hundreds were killed before the
road was completed. Sometimes Judge
Lynch stepped in, but generally the murders
went on as If nothing had happened. The
whole road was lined with the wooden head
boards of the slain bearing the name of the
mur> = man, and the simple but signii-
cant words, Killed db SUCH anu SUCH u
date"
"Cheyenne and Laramie, which were each
the depots of the road for some time, were
particularly lawless places in those days, but
they both paled before the reign of terror
that broke out at Promontory, in Utah,
where the Union and Central roads met.
Here the lawless elements Of both roads were
brought together, and perfect pandemon-
ium ensued. For fifty miles the roads were
built side by side, as there was dispute as
10 the territory belonging to each, and both
wished to obtain the point which it claimed
as its terminus. The gangs were guarded
by armed men, between whom deadly fights
often sprung up, and the losses were, in the
aggregate, as heavy as those of consider
able battle. The dispute was finally settled,
and the roads met at Ogden, which has ever
since been the terminus of each. Henry Z.

I.apidaries of New York.

Our city furnishes profitable occupation to
many lapidaries, but there is only one large
establishment wherein precious stones Of all
kinds are cut and polished as well as
mounted. The experts who do this work are
mostly men who have learned their craft in
Amsterdam. Within the past few years,
however, New York and Boston have been
training some excellent cutters Of diamonds.
Apropos of these costly carbons, there are
dozens of men in New York who buy, sell
and exchange diamonds without having any
fixed place of business. They carry their
offices in their hats, their stock in their pock-
cts They usually are astute judges Of hui
man nature as well as Of precious stones;
they know all the politicians and sporting
men, among whom they find their custom
ers, and they frequently make handsome
sums by a commission or a speculation
