Unfortunate Poor.

Scotland, In common with other civ
ilized countries, has now n poor-law
which provides for her beggars, but
thero was a time, not very long ago,
when those who could no. or would
not work were obliged to obtain sus-
tenance according to certain recog-
nized customs. Some of these wan
dering tribes carried meal-poke about
with them, and the householders upon
whom they called gave aims in oat-
meal or barley meal, either by the
single or double handful. Oatmeal was
always preferred by the mendicants, as
it found everywhere a ready market.
A class of beggars common in Ire
land and Scotland were those known
as the Hand-Barrow Mendicants, who
lived in a manner suggesting the dis
trict school teachers boarding round"
They were always disabled creatures,
and were carried about from one house
to another, either seated upon barrows
or reclining on bundles of rags.
When one was set down at a farmers
door, it required the strength of two
persons to transport him to the next
house. In some cases, if the mistress
of the house was alone when mendl-
cant arrived, she was obliged to keep
him until her husband and servants
came from their works and could re.
move him TO his next refuge.
These beggars must have suffered
almost inconceivable misery from eX-

"Try Not the Pass"

Having had some dealings with the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail- Dad, which
proved very satisfactory to all con
cerned, a well-known citizen remarked
to very pleasant official: "Now, l
will take run TO Washington; just
give me pass.
The official, not large physically but
immense quizzically, said, Ger
sainly."
In less time than it takes to tell it,
,he citizen was comfortably seated in
she parlor car. The handsomely uni
3ormed conductor entered as the train
was rolling around the big curve at
Ridgley street. Tickets! J" he said.
The neatly folded pass was produced
by the citizen. The conductor seemed
puzzled. Then the "pass" was handed
politely back.
The following is the pass "To all
toll-gate keepers on the Washington
pike = Pass him free, his name is
O,Leary."

Blulred Oh n Sure Thing.

There were two of the men in our
gang of PENNSYLVANIA oil-well drillers
and blasters who were constantly fool

would take chances to make your hair
stand on end, and the trouble was they
imperiled the safety of many others.
One of their favorite pastimes was to
get ont after poon-day lunch, and toss
a two-pound can of the stuff as far as
they could heave it, / more than once
saw them stand fifty feet apart, and on
three or four occasions saw the can
miss their clutch and fail TO the earth.
Our foremen and all the other men did
n great deal of swearing over this
foolishness, and once the men were
discharged for 1T, but they were taken
back after time, and as we grew more
used to the stuff we took more
chances.
One day the men got out with their
can, and as the fun was about TO be-

The latter failed TO cover, and as he
sauntered off down the hill followed
him. We had walked about 300 feet
when we were suddenly lifted up and

An lawful Scheme.

l have heard lately of a country Ii
brary which is run on so ingenious a
principle that feel bound TO state it
for the benefit of such of my readers
as may be concerned with similar in
stitutions. Though in some sense q
public library, the books are not given
ont free, small sum being charged,
SO much per day, for the use of them,
and the library is open but two days in
the week, and then only for n couple
of hours. The consequence is obvious
"A man takes out book and finishes
it perhaps on one of the off days. Then
the work is laid aside, and he never
thinks of it except on day or at an
hour when books are not received, and
the result is that books are kept out
for a week or two, at least, and cor
responding revenue accrues TO the Ii
brary. The advantage of this plan is
two-fold. Few books are read always
a great point gained in a public libra
ry), and for those that are read large
fee is extorted from the reader. 1t is
superfiuous to add that the books in
this library are carefully wrapped mp in
brown paper, and that the person who
presides overit is eminently we'll suited

The history of Isaac Newsome,
famous criminal who died recently in
this city, reads like chapter from q
romance. Newsome was born in En-
gland, received fair education, pos
sessed pleasing address, and became
a leader OF daring crooks who operated
IN England and on the continent.
Newsome was a genius at planning
robberies, and he was welcomed as q
guest in many wealthy houses which he
thus had an opportunity to study and
plunder. His victims were found
throughout all Europe, and his confed
crates were nervy, audacious, and well
disciplined.
Having reaped a golden harvest in
the old world, Newsome came TO the
United States, settled in Cincinnati,
and repeated his tactics. He used to
frequent John BrenaZo's saloon, and
raked in rich spoils until he got load
OF buckshot in his back while robbing
a store on Fifth street He never
wholly recovered from the wound then
inflicted. He was betrayed by Brenazo
through jealousy, and was sent to the
penitentiary in 1854. Rather than

with an AK. Released in 1860, he went
to Europe, and there, it is said, was
one of gang who disposed of the jew
els and precious metals, with assistance
from Mother Mandelbsum when re-
quired. Newsome wandered back re-
Gently to Cincinnati, n wreck of his
former handsome self, and soon died in
penury, after having squandered
princely fortunes.
On opening the body four buckshot,
fiattened out and matted together,
were found encysted in the lumbar re-
gion. When they had entered the body
they had struck against the bony It's
sues of the spinal column, and had, by
pressure on the nerves, produced par
tial paralysis. Their presence caused
also constantly recurring assesses.
These had either burst or relief had
been given 10y lancing through the back,

performed in the presence of several
students of the Ohio Medical College.
and the body was then sent TO one of
