Lovers Of Gems,

William Hunt the artist, and Henry
Ward Beecher used often to meet at
Mr.. Remick's in Boston, and each
was fond of poin ting out new gem
beauties to the other. One day, while
MIR. Beecher was looking over the
contents of the safe, he came across
a bit OF chalcedony.
"Ah," saidhe, "do you know you've
got piece Of the gate Of heaven
here? II you know IL fellow who isn't
likely to see paradise soon, just be-
stow this on him to carry as a glimpse
of comfort and heavenly beauty.
A little while after Hunt lOunget
in.
"Here," said Mr.. Remick, sis q piece
of the gate of heaven-Beecher says
So"
How does he know" was the re-
ply:
"Oh," said Mr.. Remick. che lives
nearer there than you or ], and be-
Iieve he is in sight of it most Of the
time. He told me to give it to some
body that wasn't sure tn see it in q
hurry, SO I'll hand it over 10 you"
Little did either dream how near
the recipient was to the entrance Of
paradise. 1t was but few weeks aft
er that the sad accident which lost to
America one OF her greatest artists.
But before his death he had chosen q
mounting for his bit of chalcedony
md sent it to his favorite sister Miss
Jane Hunt, who still wears it az an
amulet. -Ladies' Home journal.

A Clever Customs Trick.

A good story is told of a clever
trick by means of which some Rus
sian Jews have cheated the custom
house. Simultaneously at two from
tiers a very large case came to each,
but was not claimed After the regu-
lation time had elapsed they were
opened and found to be gloves and
ordered to be sold ut auction, &C.
cor,ling to law. A Jew. ON looking
at them, cried out they are oil right
hand gloves and OF no use to any
one. Consequently they went for
next to nothing and for far less than
the tax would have amounted to.
Needless to add that the case at the
other frontier contained oil left hand
gloves, and of course they were
bought by confederate Exchange.

Just How She Escaped,

From the Pliadephi Inquirer.
Early in the Cos l was n railroad
telegraph operator down in Georgia"
said he, land | had mighty narrow
escape from being lynched one day.
1t was in the afternoon. A gang o.
darkies came along to where my sta
ton was, about three miles from any
human habtation. They had in
their grasp beautiful young white
girl, and they tied her fast to one rail
of the track, right before my eyes.
They then stood there, aud pointing
revolvers at my head said if inter
fered in any way they would murder
me. Five minutes before the Atlantic
express was due they departed, leav-
ing the girl on the track to be cut in
two by the train. was in terrible
suspense | knew would be called
coward and II cur it allowed that
girl to be killed, but | was afraid to
signal the train to stop, because l
knew the darkies would kill me if l
did. But l was going to save my
position anyhow. Just as the train
passed my signal station ran down
the track and with a pair OF pliers
cut the wire connecting the signal to
hesitation. BY doing this l thought
| could tell the railroad officials that
the vandnls had cut the wire so that
could not signal the train See the
fine point? Well, while was cutting
the wire the wind came up suddenly
and blewa perfect tornado. Big oak
trees were blown over so that their
tops touched the ground, and had
to hang on to the track so that |
wouldn't be biownnway. Well, when
Invent up the track saw those dark
les running away, and l supposed
that the girl had been cut in two.
was prepared to look upon horrible
sight, but, to my great JOY and utter
cut the rope with my pliers and re-
leased her. ! carried her tendery up
to the signal station. bound up the
gnshes made in her limbs by the rope,
and"
"And WHAT" asked somebody.
"And asked her to be my wife"
"What did she sayP'
"She thanked me for my bravery
and softly murmured: Yes ,"
But how was it the train didn't
kill her?"
II never found out until two years
afterward. Then / met the engineer
of that very train. He explained tc
me that Just lis the train was about
to strikc the girl that II heavy gust o
wind came along 1t was so power
full that it lifted one side OF the traiI
over, making it run on one rail fol
about 500 feet before it fell back or
the other rail. 1t SO happened that
the girl was tied to the rail from which
the wheels raised, and that's how sh'
escaDed"

Who Robbed the Safe?

IL is Il mistake for Il man to he too
positive. says W. \. Pinkerton. |
had Il case put in my hands once, the
outcome OF which lett an impression
on my mind. The treasurer OF the
Hannibal 4 st. Joseph Railroad re-
ported to us that their safe had be, n
robbed of a large package of money.
investigated the case myself.
In reply to every question put to
the treasurer he would come back
with one remark-that he put the
money in the safe himself, and that
he locked the safe himself the day
before the money was missed. The
safe was in good condition when he
opened it in the following morning,
everything being just as he had left
it the night before. He was certain
that he put tho money in the safe.
He was certain that he locked the
safe. He opened the safe himselfand
the money was gone
Everything about the man tended
to confirm his statements. He was
an honest man; he was accurate; he
was careful. He had no bad habits
He was welI-to.do, and there was not
the slightest reason for supposing he
could have used the money. For Il
moment the case was at sea.
In n few days learned that clerk
in the office had remained at his desk
after the departure from the Office of
the man who knew that he locked
the safe. But | discovered that the
clerk did not have the combination,
and again | was at sen. A few weeks
elapsed, during which time kept my
eyes on every movement of this clerk.
saw enough to arouse my suspi-
cion; went to the office one morning
and took charge OF the clerk. told
him l was satisfied that he had TAX
en- the money and he need not deny
it. He broke down. He told me OF
the officer who was so positive that
he had locked the safe on the evening
in question had not done so; that he
had gone away and left the safe un.
locked; that he, the clerk. took out
the package of money, closed the SAT
and locked it. This lie could do not
withstanding the fact that he
couldn't open it. He handed me
nearly the entire amount. The Off
Ger who was SO positive that he had
locked the safe was dumbfounded
After that he was never sure OF his
own name.

Under Contract.

A man who was taking in some Of
the sights at Brighton the other day
was led to notice short haired
young man in loud check suit, WHO
was accompanied on his rounds bya
couple of ounser chaps, who seemed
to dote on him and to initiate his
actions as far as possible. After
awhile he with the short hair seemed.
to get up an aching for a row, and
he drove the first peg by approaching
the man in a staggering way and
impudentlv demanding:
lis you the cove that's got ci-
gar fer me-"
He received an emphatic negative,
when up went his eyebrows, and he
continued:
''De cove is inclined to be sassy,
but perhaps it's cause he don'tknow
me. Chollie, you and Dan give him
an eye-opener," and while he assumed
supposed graceful pose. with his
hat planted over his ear, "Chollie"
approached and whispered;
Hes bad-awfully bad! He's de
wickedest fiShtah in New York, he is.
He's going to challenge any kid of
his age to n tinish-any Kid in de
world
He'd better go and dig for clams!"
growled the man.

fully bad. Ode cove wants his eye
punched, and if it wasn't fur dat cop
per over dere I'd do it, Perhaps he'll
do me de honoh to step around be-
hind de pavilion!'
The man said he would and did,
and as he reached n secluded spot
and peeled his coat the wickedest OBJ
served:
Il begs de cove's pardon, but
just remembered dat am under con-
tract not to fight until meets de
Oswego Whirlwind. should like to
put him to sleep, but it would be agin
! de contract"
1t was suggested that the other
two might sail in Tor him, but he re-
piled:
"Chollie is me trainer and Dan is
me hacker, and it would be agin de
contract"
The man then suggested that he
had n licking in store for the three,
and that he should begin business in
thirty seconds; but before fifteen haG
elapsed he was alone.
