A Confederate Gold Dollar.

jerry johnson, negro boy, was standing on
trash pile, running his toes through the
debris. He noticed something bright in the
pile, and, when he picked it up, found it to he a
very small yellow coin. At first ne thought it
was copper but, as he fingered it, his native
sense told him it was too heavy for copper so
he at once conjectured that it was made Of gold
He had some business with Mr.. Walker, and
while in the Office showed him the piece of
money. He asked the lawyer how much he
would give him for it, Woolfok's attorney
thought it was gold dollar and, as he was par
ticularly anxious to get such a coin to wear on
his watch chain, he offered the boy 81 for it,
which he gleefully accepted
Mr.. Walker gave the coin a careful examina-
ton and became convinced that he had paid
too much for it, He was in Col. Redwne's
office, and took the coin out and exhibited it to
the great financier. What will you give me for
it?'' he asked. I'm give you ST." was the reply
And III give you 81 25, issrrupted a man
claimed Mr.. Walker. Here's your money -
was the quick answer. The buyer left the office
with his coin, and the lawyer thought he had
made good bargain.
Hurrying off to man that buys coins the
purchaser exhibited the piece The dealer
you take for it?" What will you give?" After
little consideration the dealer said: will
you take S23 for t!' mo, but I'll take $50 for
it" Its go; here's your money" and the
happy man walked out of the office
The coin which figured in these transactions
is a confederate gold dollar. A gentleman said
to a reporter: THE worst sold man of the
four was he who sold the coin for $50 If it be
true that it is, as represented. genuine con
federate dollar it is worth $3.50 am told that
there are only six of these coins in existence -

Running off With the Circus.

If John Anthony Barnes is living he had
better make the fact known without delay
By putting in an appearance in New York
he will hear something to his advantage.
Perhaps these lines will come under his
notice, and if SO he will be interested in
what follows. 1t was about the year 1860
that his father went to New York and on
gagged in the plastering business, having for
partner Gustavus B. Sanford, brother
in-law. He did not remain long in New
York, however, for at the first call for
troops in 1861 he enlisted for the war, at
the close of which he took his son
to live with him in Boston. John
Anthony had now reached the interesting
age of 16, and with his years had come
desire to see the world, and he twice ran
away from home, but on each occasion was
gently led back by the ear by his loving
parent. AT length, however, his chance
presented itself. A circus came to town,
and John Anthony went TO see the animals,
which he liked so well that he followed
them out of town and around the country;
but after a year and a half he tired of circus
life and wrote from Texas to his father for
money with which to pay his way home.
The father thought he would give his way
ward son little more time for repentance,
and heard nothing more of him till 1884,
when be was seen in California.
In the meantime, Gustavus B. Sanford
had accumulated a fortune of 500, 900, and
some weeks ago he died. The estate was
settled, and John Anthony's share of it,
amounting to $25, 900, is now awaiting his
order. The other heirs, however, threaten
to have it divided among themselves, and
thus it is that if John Anthony is alive he
would do well to hasten to New York.
This young mans career is quite roman
tic one, but it cannot be said that it is
worthy of emulation. 1t has certainly
given him the coveted opportunity of seeing
the world, and the probability is that he has
seen more of it than is good for him. He
may now be filling an unmarked grave
Had he remained at home and learned some
honest trade, he might have accumulated by
his own exertions very good property, to
which the addition of SIS, 900 would render
him quite comfortable. The idea of going
Off with the circus may be very fascinat-
ing one to great many boys, but it doesn't
| pan out according to expectations.

One Woman's Blunders.

From the NeU York EUening Sun.
Commend me to a woman for making blum

which said: Meet me at Wall street ferry at

back. took the $40 boat and.stood outside to
cool off. In mid-stream we passed the other
boat, and I'll be blown if there wasn't my wife
going back to Brooklyn. She saw me, and l
shouted, Come back. but she evidently did not
hear, for when her boat returned she wasn't
on it.
Then was mad. Leaving word with the
gateman to detain my wife if she appeared-to
arrest her if necessary-I caught the O'Clock
boat back to Brooklyn. Again in the stream
saw Mrs. Z. 8 red parasol on the other boat.

Senator Palmer as a Singer.
From the Neao York Tribune.


For after-dinner speeches Senator Palmer has
an admirable voice, but it is not that of a
thrush for singing purposes. Those of his close
friends who have heard some of his vocal
efforts say that the product is not entirely
musical The senator does not hesitate how
ever, to sing when il is necessary to revive the
drOopiug spirits of party; and that is what led
to q recent performance in which operate duets
were sung by the distinguished soprano Miss
Emma Thursby and the distinguished senator,
Mr. Palmer,
Miss Thursby has been here for some time,
and her vocal attainmentS have made her a
favorite in senatorial circles. Among her adj
mirers is Mrs Stockhrdge, the wife of the
junior senator from Michigan. The latter's
birthday occurred last week, and the event was
fittingly celebrated by an excursion down the
Potomac on board canal boat specially
chartered and handsomely decorated for the oC-
casion. Among the guests were Senator Palmer
and Miss Thursby, and upon them fell a good
share of the entertainment which kept every
one Jolly. There was lull In the fun, however,
when some one invited Miss Thursby to sing.
But | haven't my notes, and there's no
piano, and"
"Oh, never mind the notes." interposed the
senator, I'll accompanyyou."
The offer was accepted, and thereunon the
senator launched into Nilsson's favoritts encore
Way Down Upon the Suwanee River Miss
Thursby was too much overcome to Join at
once. The senatorial effort was between a
rumble and buzz. not as loud as an elevated
train nor quite as discordant as the file on a
venerable saw. But Mr.. Palmer held the tune
till the end of the verse. Then Miss Thursby
joined, and her rich soprano foated through
the canal boat cabin and out over the water
the astringent notes of the accompaniment
only accenting the sweet notes of the singer
With the ice broken, the senator and Miss
Thursby responded TO an encore with Those
Golden Slippers am Laid Away" climbing I'm
de Golden Stairs" Some Of the senator's col
leagues now suggest that Palmer has the ope-
ratio stage before MIN if he tires of the senate

Commenting on the ownership of s12, 00O,-
600 worth of property by the colored people
of Georgia, the Philadelphia Press says
"It seems that tho colored people, having
been denied the privilege of taking part in
politics and government at the south, have
quietly and without display planted their
citizenship in the soil which they onco
titled as slaves" The Press has got matters
somewhat mixed. Having failed to get the
forty acres ami mule which was promised
them by the republicans for their votes, and
having learned that they derive no particu-
lar benefit from dabbling in politics, all the
benefit going TO aliens, the southern colored
people have settled down to work and have
generally eschewed politics; and the wisdom
of their action is shown by the amount Of
property they have acquired in Georgia.

Mr.. c. Macarthur, of Richmond, Va,
has followed the example of Gen. Bradley
7. johnson in being guilty of Incorporate
utterances. In an article in a Richmond
paper he says that the southern white peo-
pie, except the politicians and editors, who
expect to make something by pleading 10y
atty to the union, are opposed to the system
Of government they now tolerate. or
course, such papers as the New York
Tribune and the Philadelphia Press will
make much of this assertion, pretending it
shows that the south is ready for another
war, but fair-minded newspapers will recog-
nize the fact that there are cranks in on cry
section of the country.

The arrest, in Philadelphia, Of Mrs
Whiting on a charge of poisoning her hus-
band and children has served to call atten-
ton to the ease with which poison may be
obtained in that city. 1t has been shown
that any person can go unquestioned into
any shop, and without a physicians pre-
scription purchase poison which may be in
tended to be used for criminal purposes A
search Of the coroner's records reveals the
fact that since Jan. l, 1887, the number of
deaths from poisoning in Philadelphia is
as follows: From rough on rats Is, from
laudanum Is, prussic acid 6, lead poisoning
z, choral poison 5, narcotic poison 4, irri-
tant poison Z, concentrated I've 8, morphia
3, carbolic acid 3, paris green 2 opium ,
creosote l, hartshorn liniment l, arsenic 2.
nitric acid ?, cyanide of potassium !. The
case of Mrs. Whiting may cause most of
the shop-keepers to exercise more discretion
in selling poisons.

that he is not hungry. His board bill can

money to pay the undertaken.
