MONEY N 4 wAsn1uB.
How Constable Walker Unraveled =
Theft in q Chinese Laundry.

Fasteners have habit of hiding their
money about their person. The other day
oes Of them, who was stopping over at
Lathrop, took his underwear to \ Chinese
washhouse and forgot that he had sewed
$115 in greenbacks into his undershirt
1t was half an hour before he reeoliected
that fact, and when he went to the wash
house nobody knew anything about the
money. The Fastener hunted up Consta-
BILE Walker. The latter questioned the boss
Of the laundry and became satisfied that
the boss was innocent Next he had all
the Cinnamon brought before him, one at
time. Noticing that one of the Mongo-
lians dropped his eyes and looked guilty.
Walker took the boss ASIDE and remarked:
"That's the fellow that's got the money.
What does he do2" The boss answered
that the Celestial indicated did nothing
but bOil the clothes, and that he had seen
him pick the clothes mp and throw them
10tO tue OOlilng tQO lmmeulateIy after
the fastener left his washing.
The Constable concluded that the Chi
naman had not discovered the money
until after he had thrown the shirt into
the hot water. He then came to the con-
clusion, of course, that the thief had
placed the greenbacks away in some warm
place to dry. So he hunted around and
saw one of the greenbacks peeping out
from behind a sheet of tin that had been
tackled against the wall back of the laun-
dry stove. All the money was recovered.
Tie thief was not arrested, as there was
no absolute proof of his guiIt.-Stockton

THAT NIGHT:
BY JAMES wHrrooMB RILEY.

You and I, and that night, with it's perfume and glory The scent of the locusts, the light of the moon; And the viollns weaving the waltzers story, Enmeshing their feet in the weft of the tune,
 Till their shadows uncertain,
 Reeled round on the curtain, While under the trellis we drank in the June. Soaked through with the midnight the cedars were sleeping, Thelr shadowy tresses outlined in the bright Crystal, moon -smitten mists, where the foun- tain's heart, leaping
 Forever, Forever, forever burst, full with delight;
 And its lisp on my spirit
 Fell faint as that near 1t Whose love like lily bloomed out in the night. Oh, your glove was an odorous sachet of bissesl The breath of your fan was breeze of Cathayi And the rose at your throat was nest of spilled kisses And the music-in fancy, hear it today,
 As 1 sit here, cOnfessing
 Our secret, and blessing My rival who found us, and wa tzed you away -Enchange.

clans bent over her, but she looked away from them. She seemed to see only Marquand's wife, tall, ghastly, old.
 She tried to speak, her eyes still fixid on Marquand's wife.
 "No law-I never-lied-"
 She breathed irregularly, and her lips moved again:
 "What we said-to each-other- never to meet again" Her voice grew stronger. "I-fell-I leaned too far-God forgive-it was my fault to lean-so far. Be-glad of this-I leaned-too-far."
 Her voice had sunk again to a whis- per. The gray look stilled her fea- lures till they seemed but a waxen mask. Her clinging, olive scented draperies lay like unstirred snow i; her breath was spent forever. She was dead
 And Marquand's wife crept shud- dering from the room.-E1chdnge.

"The Crystal Slipper; or, Prince Prettiwitz and Little Cinderella" the spectacular extravaganza at the Chi cago opera house, has proved SO great a success that at every performance every seat in the house is disposed of long before the curtain rises, and thou sands are unable to obtain admission. It is impossible to give detailed de- scription of the multitude of novel, ties and beauties with which the piece abounds. The costumes, too, are so varied and artistic in their styles, that each, and there are some 25O in the production, would require a separate article. All the pallets are pictur- esque, and "the spectacle throughout" according to the Chicago Herald, "is so clean, bright and wholesome in tone that it delights even those who ordin- arily look with suspicion upon the tinsel and tights of extravaganza" Mile. Dorst and Mons. Oreste, whose dancing created sensation in "The Arabian Nights" last summer, made their first appearance in "The Crystal Slipper" June 24. They received 8 perfect ovation. "Little Tich" con- tinues to convulse the crowds by his wonderful performance. No such speciality artist has ever been seen be- fore in this country. All the features calculated to become favorites with the children-such as the ponies, Cfn- derella's carriage, the animated oys- ters, the acrobatic eggs. the iliputian fiunkies, the lily-white duck, the frog, the deviled crabs and the four and-twenty blackbirds-are already immensely popular with the little ones. Over 25,O00 persons witnessed piece last week.

The Bridge Across the British Channel.
 Paris Temps

The Bridge Across the British Channel.
 Paris Temps.
 The scheme of constructing bridge over the English Channel has just been completed. It has been worked out by the Creusot engineers and M. Hersent, ex-president of the Society of Civil Engineers. The progress of metallurgy makes the construction possible of an immense bridge thirty kilometers long, with platform at the height of fifty meters above the sea at full tide, and supported by piles at distances of 200 meters. The height allowed for the bridge over the Channel would allow large steam CTS and sailing vessels to pass freely. It would support four railway lines, besides road for carriages and foot paths. This will be satisfactory for those who dread seasickness. The only trouble left them will be that of choosing their mode of locomotion- whether by railway carriage, omnibus, cab or velocipede. Places of refuge, watch houses and alarm bells will be placed on each pile, with 8 powerful light.
 The authors of this gigantic scheme believe that the foundations may be constructed by means of compressed air diving bells, the depth of the strait between Calais and Dover not being, on an average, more than from twenty five to thirty nine meters, and in few places exceeding fifty meters. The bridge will cost sOO,OOO,OOO francs, it's metallic weight will amount to 2,O00,000 tons, and it might be constructed in six years. The scheme will shortly be submitted for examination to an international technical committee. When this ex- animation has been completed, the Channel Bridge Society will apply for concession to the French and English governments, from which it will ask for no subsidy. Under these conditions the concession might be easily granted and the works immedi- ately begun. In 8 few years the commerce of the two nations would be benefited from the simplification introduced into their relations by the execution of work which might be considered as one of the most impor- tant of the century.

The lamps of the seaside city blos- sommed by thousands on the blue, soft darkness. The sea swept gently up about the piles which held the wooden promenade. It was night, and still the gay crowds thronged the wide verandas, or strolled the smooth or winding walks. There was no moon as yet, but fAr and near the red lights glowed, or pale electric ghosts sprang into radiance.

agement that can checkmate the
average conductor who is disposed
"to knock down." The bell-punch
was thought to be an institution
that would force the conductor to
be honest, but in a little while there
appeared an invention that would
ring all right enough, but wouldn't
punch. Various tricks ard devices
have been brought out to beat the
companies, and they have all been
more or less successful. On the
first Of the year the manager of a
line in Chicago undertook to defeat
the conductor 5y selling coupon
tickets twenty-five for dollar, the
single fare being five cents. The
order was to ring the bell for every
coupon, as formerly. The scheme
apparently worked admirably, and
the superintendent was congratu-
lating himself on his success, when
all at once it developed that it was
a losing game. Most people paid
cash for their fare, and the conduc-
tors turned in coupons which they
had purchased at the rate of twenty
two for dollar, thus making ten
cents on every dollar. In one week
the men of the punch "knocked
down. about $4,000, when the
manager dropped on" the business
and ordered return to cash tick

good way to prevent stealing by
their conductors is to pay wages for

TO Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pul-
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inhamed, then
accumuIations form in the air-cells OF
the lungs. followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking

CARLISLE has saddled and bril-
bled the House and placed Sam
Randall, the protectionist, on It's
back with good sharp spurs on his
heels and the reins in his hand.
There is no need for any of the tar
iff monopolists to be nervous about
this session. Nothing will be done
good, bad, or indifferent-which
they do not wish done, for Randall
is their own man and will do their
own will and protect their interests
like 200 per cent. duty. In this
appointment of Randall to the
practical control of the floor, the
Democratic majority has abdicated
again its power and responsibility
and delivered itself over to the enc
my, as it has steadily done for four
teen years past. "-DGkotG Ne1cS.
A distinguished Democratic jour
nal, reminds the -Netcs "that Mr..
Randall represents the great major
ity of the Democratic party in some
of the most important States in this
Union. Without the electoral votes
of those States the Presidential
election of 1883 would be settled
against the Democratic party be-
forehand; aud if an attempt had
been made to degrade Mr.. Randall
by reducing him to the ranks in the
House of Representatives, as the
News has desired, it would be a
work Of mere form and vanity to
hold a National Democratic Con-
vention this year, or to go through
the motions of canvass.
So, our democratic friends are
disposed to hood wink and deceive
the people into the belief that the
party will not stand upon Mr..
Cleveland's platform, though Mr..
Cleveland should again be their
standard bearer this fall /! This is
foolish admission aud gives plaus-
Utility to the charge made by their
opponents, that official patronage is
the leader that controls the party in
power. Our democracy don't run
that way. We are for the greatest
good to the greatest number" even
if it puts us in the minority the
balance of our life. If q majority
of the people of this country are in
favor of a protective tariff and the
democratic orators and democratic
organs cannot convince them of
their error, why, in the name of all
that is good, let them have protec-
ton to their hearts, content. The
people are supreme, and if through
fair elections and honest counts

they should not be cheated of their
wishes by party trickery.
AS we understand it President
Cleveland has made the question of
a ssTariff for Revenue" the leading
issue in the next presidential con-
test. Let us stick to 1t. and abide
the result.
