Coming across on the Aurania with me
were number ofintensely convivial spirits,
among whom were several ladies. Accord
ing to custom, rs the steamer approached
Sandy Hook, the steward made up his bill
for sundrieS, and presented the several ac-
counts to whom they belonged.
A genial old party from Chicago offered
to match pennies with man from Pough-
keepsie in order to see who should pay for
the cigars. The man from POughkeepsie
won.
Then a New Yorker became interested
and offered to match the victor for his bill.
The man from Poughkeepsie again won.
Then all of us in turn matched him for
sundries, and the man from Poughkeepsie
still won. In fact, the man from POUCH
keepsie won everything.
The last to match him was a somewhat
giddy specimen of young womanhood OF
the blonde persuasion who hailed from
Detroit. She had bill to pay, and again
the pennies were dipped with the usual re.
suit. For the fourteenth time the man
from Poughkeepsie was proclaimed the
victor.
"Oh, Mr.. s." petulantly exclaimed
the representative from Detroit, you
OuSnI 10 give Tue duOGhcF CuduCe' III
sure you couldn't beat me again."
The man from up the hudson smiled
gravely.
MADAM" he said. II promised dying
brother just before ] sailed never to beat
anybody at anything from seven up to
matching pennies more than fourteen
times"
He then politely turned on his heel and
went on deck. 81 didn't travel one season
with Hermann for nothing" he afterward
observed as he made his FINAL adieu.-

An Unparalleled Suicide.

IL renamed Tor n Y ankce boy in Con-
nectiCut to devise method for ending
his life, which has in all probability
never had parallel.
Reproved or punished for some trif1ing
offense he went to his fathers barn and
spent three days in rigging up guillo-
tine, with which he successfully be-
headed himself Between a pair of
grooved uprights he fixed butchers
cleaver sharpened to razorlike edge.
This he weighted on top with box of
scrap iron and stone weighing 200
pounds. From the top of the uprights
to the bottom the distance was five feet,
and the cleaver was held in position at
the top by rope reefed through pull
ley and held by wooden level four feet
in length.
On the end of this lever he hung a tan
pail, in the bottom Of which small hole
had first been bored. The pail was filed
with water, which slowly dripped
through the hole in the bottom. After
these arrangements had been completed
the lad placed his neck between the up
rights directly in line with the cleaver
When the water in the pail had nearly
all escaped the lever flew up, the rope
was released and the sharpened blade
fell like a fash The head Of the suicide
was cut OFF clear and clean. New York

How Spain Gets q Little Tobacco.
On our homeward way we encounter the
nightly exodus OF Spaniards, male and fe-
male, young and old, who come into the
town on daily permits for trade or labor,
and have to return before the fortress gates
are closed OF these there are between three
and four thousand, and many of them make
q handsome income by daily smuggling
small quantities of tobacco, concealed by
many devices in their clothing or their
loads. Their numbers are so great that,
even If the Spanish frontier guard does not
afford some connivance, which is not very
improbable, it must be impossibleto search
them all eifectually, and the women especi.
ally are the greatest and most successful
defrauders of the Spanish revenue
Any one who waits at the Landport gate
may see stockings dress improvers, and
other recesses being stuffed, coram publico,
with small packets, which, as the average
profit is 20 per cent, will well pay the
trouble and risk of carriage. was told OF
one very successful method of smuggling
which is much practiced. Dogs are brought
to Gibraltar from their Spanish homes.
From six to eight pounds weight of tobacco
is tied round their necks, and with this
they run straight home, carefully avoiding
everybody in the shape of custom house
officer They are trained TO crime by the
agency of men dressed in custom house
uniform, who thrash them numerically,
and thus instill wholesale horror of the
appearance of II government servant.
Nor are frauds committed upon the Span
ish excise alone. Often enough il is found
that the food supplies for the Gibraltar
market have been cunningly tempered
with, as when the vendors Of live turkeys
increase their selling weight by examining
sand down the tHToats of the poor birds be-
fore they cross the neutral grOund.-Mur-

Impression that the Prince of Wales
is bralnless fop. He will be found
upon close examination of his re.
cord to do quite creditably whatever
is entrusted to him to do, and when
the cares of government come upon
his shoulders, if they ever do, he is
quite likely to astonish mis- enemies

of the blood in England to pre-
tend to any great literary acumen,
but Wales is we'll read, well posted
on the political situation in Europe

A FEW issues back the LIGHT
noticed in the columns of some south
Texas journal the statement that the
Houston electric railway had been
sold for s. 1000, the bondholders bid
ding it in for that amount, the bonded
debt being Sl50,00O. Upon this notice
the LIGHT made editorial comment,
moved thereto by the proverbial mar
gin between the promises and the
performances of the Bayou city. Vice.
president and general manager of the
Houston City Railway company
writes the LIGHT correcting the error,
and stating that there is no truth
whatever in the statement that the
Houston street railway company has
sold out. LIGHT gladly makes the
correction, and congratulates Hous-
ton, for if there Is any city in Texas
needs a modern street railway system
that city is Houston. The LIGHT re-
grets that it cannot reproduce the
article upon which its comment was
based, for it was quite direct and ex.
plicit, but it is utterly impossible to
keep file OF the exchanges of q paper
like the LIGHT.

The Dallas Times Herald, in a late
Issue, thus mourns the assume d
demise of James G. Blaine:
flames G. Blaine is dying and men
of all parties and all creeds will regret
his death when the announcement
comes. He will not figure in the tenn
pie as one of the presidents of the Fed
eral union, but he will figure in his
tory as one of the brainiest states
men and most Thorough Americans
of his time. Harrison will be
renominated in 1892. The republican
party has been reduced to that point
where mediocrity alone rules it's
councils"
If by any possible concatenation of
circumstance Mr.. Blaine should be
the nominee of the republican party
in 1892, it would be refreshing to note
how the Herald would ring the
changes on his unfitness for the office,
and declare him a back alley ward
politician, with no claims to states
manship and merely the apostle of
jingoism. James g. Blaine il miles
away from deaths door, and will live
to be cursed by thousands of demo-
Gratis who try to make cheap capital
over his supposed mortal illness.
