PAWN-SHOP TALES.
Pathetic Stories Told by Unredeemed
Jewels and SilVerMare

Pathetic Stories Told by Unredeemed
Jewels and Silverware.
" The pawn-shop is the place to study hu-
man nature remarked a gentleman to a
Louisville Courier Journal reporter yester-
day. There you can see low life in all its
phases and by listening to the stories re-
lateo by the customers, you can get some
IDEA OF the great struggle for existence
which some people are gong through with"
with these remarks as a preface, the gen.
tleman pointed INTO the window of Market
street pawn-shop, where For Sale" was
displayed over a solid silver water set of
rich and unique design which occupied the
place OF prominence in the window The
set is composed of sterling silver
water pitcher. chased with gold, square
and heavy tray and two handsome orna-
mented fiagons, each -one foot IN height.
The set IS probably very valuable, but what
attracts attention Is the inscription on the
pitcher. The location of that silver set in
the pawn brokers' window must tell it's
own tale of suffering or want. What pri-
vauons were endured and what pains it
cost the owner to dispose of 1t will never be
known, but the fact remains that it is there
and marked For Sale,'' which is good evl-
dence that the owner of the silver is I'M
able to redeem the property The engrav-
ing on the face of the pitcher is as follows
presented to -- -, by the officers of
the - Bank, January /, 1SS2'
In the window of another pawn-shop on
Jefferson street another story is equally as
well told But this time it is a narrative
of dissipation and carousal rather than one
of need or privation. In the center of an
attractive grouping of jewelry are displayed
two handsome and costly gold medals over
which is also hung the sign for sale These
are also valuable and costly and the gold
and diamonds and the words of praise in
scribed upon them, once caused feelings of
pride and ambition to animate poor Thomas
Ramsey These medals were bought and
presented to HIM by admirers when he first
came here, green and unsophsticated,
steady boy who had made wonderful strides
forward in his profession, that of base
bail player. Those medals, once his pride
and his Joy. tell story vastly different
from the widows silver shown from another
pawn-broker's window not many squares
away.

LET him sink; be Is only Jew," was
the exclamation of a crowd of p ople in
Russian town recently, as they beheld the
struggles of poor wretch in the river.
just then young man broke through the
crowd, which tried TO hold him back, and
punging into the river, brought the drown
