Some Strange Stories of Persons Who
Were Born Lucky.

Were Born Lucky.
a few years ago pleasant, genial old
gentleman called at one of the city banks
and requested an introduction to one of
the Junior clerks. The clerk, who had
noticed the stranger and seen him enter
the managers room, was startled by a
summons to go inside. Once inside the
managers room the clerk found himself
face to face with the stranger: The WISH
tor Immediately broke the ice by SAYING
he had the pleasure to announce that by
the death of an uncle, and in conse-
quenee of the death OF several other re-
latves, this young gentleman was heir
to a baronetcy. Hardly believing his
years, the clerk summed up enough pre-
sence Of mind to ask if it was an empty
title. The visitor Immediately and
blandly informed him that his income
was at least 10000 a year. with ESQ, 900
at bank upon current account. 1t has
since been ascertained that the in
come is not less than ZIG, 000a year. The
owner of a very valuable pair of trousers
was lately advertised for in the French
papers by the honest finder OF the same,
who allowed the individual to whom
they belonged fifteen days in which to
come forward. After this delay he
stated he would consider himself justi-
fed in proftting by this strange wind
fall, which, as he was in poor circum-
stances and about to be married, would
be very serviceable to him. On the
Place de la Concorde he stated that he |
saw one evening dark object on the |
ground, which he first took to be sleep |
ing dog. On closer inspection, however,
be discovered his mistake, and picked |
up the garment then in his possession.
He took the trousers with him on board |
} boat which he owned, and on passing
hem in review noticed that the buttons
seemed different from ordinary ones.
Prompted by curiosity, he undid the
10th that covered them, and found, in
stead of wooden molds. gold pieces.
Carrying his investigations further, he
lie came across some bank notes stitcbed
