other than a circular covered fireplace,
and was tended by the unmarried girls OF
the infant community. IL served as the
public hearth of Rome, and on 1t glowed,

been brought from Troy, and the continu-

They Never Make a Mistake.

Pardon me, but think you have made
mistake in counting this money" said a
mild hammered gentleman to the paying
teller of one of the big banks down town.
The mild hammered gentleman had just re-
ceived a bulky pile of currency in exchange
for check, and had taken the precsution
TO count the money on the spot. With a
look of disdain and in very frigid tones
the teller replied: I'VE never make mis-
takes here, sir. You viii find that to be
correct
But 1 am certain, " said the gentleman
earnestly. II have counted these bills
twice, and you have given me too
You are mistaken, sir" interrupted the
clerk haughtily. Il never make mistake
in counting money"
But tell you that in this instance you
have" insisted the gentleman very polite
ly. You have given me too much"
Sir, that is impossible. Please don't
take up any more of my time. There are
others waiting to be attended to-"
The mild hammered man looked sharply
at the teller, and then, with gesture of
Impotence, said: 'Oh, very we'll | can
stand it if you can" He placed the roll Of
bills in his pocket and left the bank. An
observer of the incident followed him out
and ventured to inquire, Are you sure
that the teller gave you too much money!"
Yes, sir" promptly replied the gentle
man. He overpaid me $500. and he will
find it out very soon, but he will never adj
NIT it. That man would lose half years
salary rather than admit thss le had made
a mistake. With some paying teliers that
feeling amounts to a mania. Next to their
lives they prize their regulations for &C

A LONG SEARCH REWARDED.

The readers of the EAGLE will remember
an account of two gentleman who came tc
the city a couple of weeks ago in pursuit
of the supposed abductors of little grand
niece of one of them. The parties pursued
proved not to be the ones wanted, OF
rather the little girl with them was not
the niece of the gentleman who was in
| search of her.
The two gentlemen, Mr.. Henry Crisp, of
the New York World staff, and Mr. Del
Homme, grand uncle of the lost child left
here on Monday night week ago for New
York City having given up all hope of a
trace of the lost child
A remark made by another passenger on
the ira led the reporter to believe that
he knew something of the lost girl, and a
few questions made him certain that a
little girl described by him, and stopping
at friends house in Brooklyn, was the
i'd nntical girl wanted. Accordingly, on
arriving in New York, the reporter and
the uncle went to the house and found the
long lost girl, whose name is Katie Van
nuchi, and who is of italian parentage.
She was i'll and out of her mind, and the
woman with whom she was staying told
ene unCle that Une little girl came TO her
and asked to be allowed to work in the
kitchen for a living. She knows nothing
about herself, or when she left her home,
as yet.
The search for her was through thirteen
states and the Indian territory, and then
she was found almost in sight of her home.
She was taken home and all that kind
friends and loving parents can do to re-
store her is being done for her.
