One of the queerest sights is to see how
different immigrants carry their money.
Most English immigrants carry their
coin in a small case. attached % chain,
which they keep in a pocket as they
would a watch.
Eishmen always have little canvas
bag in which notes and coin are crammed
together. Irish girls, ON the other hand,
generally have their money sewed on the
inside of their dresses.
Germans carry their money in a belt
round their waists, and the belt is usually
an elaborate and costly affair, no matter
how poor the immigrant may be.
The French mostly carry q small brass
tube III which they can place forty or
fifty twenty franc pieces and remove
them very readily-one- at time.
There are very few Italians who do not
carry large tin tube in which they
keep their paper money or silver coins,
and this tube is hung round their neck
by small chain r.cord.

PIE foa SIXTEEN IN LONDON.
An Americas Traveller in Place That
Fascinated Dickens.

Fascinated Dickens.
There is PIE shop Ia Londos that
Charles Dickens used 70 stand before
when IS child he drudged ia blscs-
ing factory. Every day. on his way 10
and from work. he paused 10 deyoar the
viands with his eyes, and sometimes, as
he said. he pressed his tongue 10 the
window panes. as if by doing that 10
got little bit Of taste of the good
things that lay SO near, yet were 50 far
beyond his reach. An American rail
road man who admires Dickens hunted
UP this PIE shop when he was in London
in order 20 crafty sentiment and cum
osity IL proved TO De a mere box Of a
place. in poor quarter Of the city, but
the original business was stiil condccted
there, and pastry Of doubtful aspect ana
uncertain ago still occupied the window.
AS the traveller peered into the sladowy
interior voice piped at his elbow.
Please, sir, viii you buy me veal
pie:'
The owner Of the voice was small,
disheveled person. with whom a veal PIE
or any other kind would have agreed
right we'll, and he made his request from
motives Of undoubted and strenuous per
sonal interest. The American replied,
as Americans do sometimes, with another
question:
How many boys do you suppose that
shop could hold?'
II dunno. About fifteen or sixteen, |
should think"
"Well. you go and get fifteen moro
boys and bring them back here
The boy studied the mans face for q
moment as if to make sure he was in
the enjoyment of his senses, then hurled
himself into side street with yell.
Hardly minute elapsed before he re-
turned. the head of a procession of six
teen gamins, assorted as to size and
clothing, unanimous in appetite and
hope This ragged battalion assembled
him precipitately into the shop when he
announced that he was going to give
them oil the pie they wanted.
For q quarter of an hour the aston
ished baker served "weal an am" pies,
hand over hand, to the sixteen aston
idhed youth Of London, while the Amer
ian sat down and watched the scene
with hardly less astonishment. Few
words were spoken, and the onslaught
was ns fierce and persistent while it last
ed as the charge at Tel-el-Kebir. The
exhaustion of supplies brought the ban
quet to an end. and tho traveller paid
the score, thinking it little TO pay, in
view of the fun he had had, while the
boys tumbled into the street, cheering
feebly on account OF their gorged condi-
ton, and went to spread the news of
this miracle through the lanes Of Lon

States marshal, shot and killed kits,

than ten gallons under his license.
Lindsay got mad and abused kits.
The distiller's fourteen year-old son
thought his father in danger and
throw a rock at Lindsay. Lindsay
attempted to shoot kits, but his
party took his pistols from him. They
left, and when milo away Lindsay
asked for his pistols, saying he would
do no harm. He got his pistols,
wheeled his horse and rode back to
kits house. The latter saw him
coming and locked his door, but
Lindsay broke it down and shot
kits twice, killing him instantly. He
then attempted to shoot the boy, but
missed him and hit little girl scri-
ously wounding her. 1t is reported
that Lindsay's party arrested him
and gave him over to the sheriff of

and there were no witnesses. The
place of the recent killing is twenty

Apropos of Colonel Elliott +. Shep-

warrior. 1t was shortly after he won
his title OF Colonel by being ap-
t,ented au aide onGovernorMorgan's s
staff that Mr.. Shepard was sent to
the national recruiting station Mt Ell
mira with squad of recruits. For
somc reason or other they were left
in his charge for a few days, and the
Colonel. of course, took the oppor-
tunity to put them through n thor
ough course OF discipline, according
to his ideas. Commencing with
four coures of prayer on Sunday, the
recruits were marched, drilled and
worked about twelve hours day un-
til Thursday. That day the Colonel
had set down on his program for
''skirmish day" He considered that
his soldiers had advanced far enough
in the bloody trade of war to be
shown what skirlnish duty meant, so
he lei them out OH the wooded hills
above the town to skirmish. They

Sam Las any official record. Five
days with tho Colonel had cooled

ed bossy calves and wild-eycd farm
dogs, the Colonel returned, forlorn
hope, to camp.--New YorA Star.

is an Indian. He is tall, brown of
skin, but has the features of tho Cau-

more than one-eiShth Indian.
He married some years ago niece
of Senator Butler. of South Carolina.
who had gone out to TahleIuah rs a
teacher. a good story is told of him
when he was Governor of the Cherokee
Nation. The Chcrokees are the most
civilized of all the Indian tribes, and
one of their laws is in favor of prohibit
ton. The law of the United States is
that no one shall give or sell firewater
to an Indian, but the Cherokee lcgisla-
tors go further and prohibit the bring
ing of it into the Territory.
In Tahlcquah, when Bushyhead was
Governor, there was an Irish black
smith named Mike Delaney. Now,
Mike had been received into the tribe
because he had married squaw, and,
strange rs it may seem, was moro of
an Indian than any native. He used
to oratc by the hour over his forge ut

Georgia over the mountains an val

away from u.s."
Mike frequently delivered himself Of
this, and the more firc-watcr he had in
him the more nanncl-mouthcd and un-
Indian was his broGue. He and BuShy-
head were great friends, and one day
