No Bank Thieves in Wall Street.

Inspector Byrnes, in his professional
Criminals of America" gives list of
one hundred banks which thieves either
rif1ed or attempted to rob between No.
vember, 1862, and February, 1885.
Ten of these were in the city of New
York.
Owing to the thoroughly efficient de-
tective system established in Wall street,
the depredatlons of the bank sneaks
have been summarily ended in that 10 .
cality. These daring villains are "all
men of education, pleasing address,
good personal appearance, and are fault
less in their attire" Cold, quick, res :
olute, and acting in concert, one may
be on the lookout, second engaged in
interesting conversation with bank
officer or officers, and third stealthily
creeping behind the counter and captur-
ing the cash or bundle OF bonds. Or
the las may obtain access to the vault,
from which he purloins whatever he
may deity conceal and carry off, while
his confederates monopolize the atten
ton of the clerks. One of the most
daring bank snatchers in the city ef-
fected two robberics in the course of a
single day. Entering one bank he
leaped to the top of partition seven
feet high, leaned over, snatched two
packages of bills containing $1,000
each, and escaped. A little later he
elm bed on the counter of another
bank, captured several thousand dol
lars, and again escaped. Similar sue
cess attended the bold miscreant in his
subsequent attempt to escape from the
Court of General Sessions. He is now
in Jail. .-He'per's Nagazjae.

A MORAL HISTORY.

MORAL HISTORY.
Blower and Tower were two little geese,
That is to say they were dogs; as you see;
But though one was the aunt and the other
her niece,
Somehow or other they couldn't agreel
Couldn't agree; for though each loved the
other,
No matter what came up, from tidbits to
rats,
If one took up one side, then one took an.
other,
And there was a fight like the Kilkenny
cats.
Tower and Blowzerl Twas stranger be
cause
These doggies were lovely in every way;
Were clean as two pins as to faces and paws,
And brushed their brown coats twenty
times in the day;
Played with the other dogs gaily and sweet
ly,
Wagged their small tails when the neigh
bors came by,
Won every heart in the village completely,
And never were known to tell one little lie.
OUe a. yCu saw OilC u DlbC VI DOHc,
My! what rumpus the other would
makel
If you should pat one small body alone,
The other would whine till your poor
ears would ache;
Then when you turned away for minute.
They'd snarl and fight, as of reason be-
reft,
And lose all the good that the morsel had
in it
So Tower and Blower were both ofthem
left!
Wasn't right then in calling them geese?
If they were loving, how we'll they could
fare;
Sharing their goodies they'd each have
piece,
And often and often a little to spare.
DeaI did you ever know two little brothers
Who might have such perfectly elegant
times,
But who squabble-sometimes- Just
worry their mothers,
Like the two little dogges l sing in my
rhymes?

Caesars nose was of the same type and
he possessed the same characteristics of

ELEPHANT WISDOM.

An elephant employed in Cey lon in
building large stone dam to close
up a river, and thus form lake, was
one of the sights of the place.
He first of all drew from the quarry
the huge stone that was to be used; he
then undid the chain by which he had
drawn it. He next proceeded to roll it
with his forehead along the narrow
stone wall, or embankment, until he
had fitted it exactly into its place. On
the one side of this wall was precipice,
on the other deep lake. As the stone
was pushed by his forehead it would at
one time incline to the lake, at another
over the precipice, but he immed ia tely
made it straight again with his foot.
He was doing the work of ten men,
and with the accuracy of skilled
mason.
One day when he was at work q by
stander asked if he would take up
large sledge hammer lying on the
ground and break an enormous rock
close to it. The officer in charge OF
the work said this was asking too much,
but the mahout who heard the conver.
sation, replied gravely:
'BomBera can and will do every
thing he is asked" He then said some-
thing to the elephant, who took up the
sleage as if it were feather and
knocked the stone to pieces.

said the mahout upon which the anil.
NAL stuck the sledgs in his mouth and
walked off with it.

WISE OLD CAT.
- Wide. Awdke.

There were three cats in William
street family in Norwich, Conn, and
as the lady of the house concluded that
one was sufficient, an edict of death
was passed on the old cat and her kit
ten. The question of the manner OF
death was settled and chloroform pur-
chased.
Some days passed before the xecu.
toner could muster courage to execute
the sentence and finally the lady put
some laudanum into the cats milk,
thinking to produce stupor that would
make the chloroform more easy.
The old cat tasted the milk, cast her
eyes suspiciously about her, and refused
to eat. The kitten rushed to the dish,
but was violently knocked away by the
old cat, who took corner of mat and
covered over the dish to hide it from
the kitten and prevent her from taking
the ''medicine."
The lady could not believe it posi-
BILE that the act was intentional, and
uncovered the dish. The cat again
knocked the kitten from it and red
it more carefully than before. The rep
etition of the protective act was too
much for the lady, and the cat and her
two kittens were allowed to live.

me, says an Epoch writer, that an

it deep enough to put ones knuckles
in. Well, Mr.. Gould's neck is that
kind of one, am sorry to say. Tho

NOTES FOR GARDENERS.

Plant the garden SO that you can
have a regular succession OF vegetables.
Plant small fruit with the same end in
view.
PANsiEs are hardy, and few plants
set out in bed will thicken to a com.
pact cluster and produce large flowers
until late in the season.
RosE bushes thrive better by being
well cut out and the old wood removed.
For Towering plants wood mold makes
an excellent fertilizer. but it should be
used freely.
THOUGH not considered sure remedy,
the free use of limo around cabbage
plants will assist greatly in keeping the
maggot away. Scattered literally over
onions, lime checks the ravages OF the
onion fly.
Work between the rows OF the straw
berries, keep tho weeds down and the
soil loose. Plant raspberries early, so
as to give them good start. IL the
canes are to make good growth give
them manure in the hill.
Those who desire 10 bag" grapes
that is, TO cover them with paper bags
TO prevent grape rot-should remember
70 do II as soon as the grapes are visible.
The mischief, II done at all, is done in
NE earliest stages Of grape growth.
