Costly kIeptomaniacs.

A French author gives some curious
information about the ladies who are
tempted, and fall during their shop
ping expeditions: He says that no
fewer than four Thousand women are
caught every year stealing before the
counter. D.
The number of. titled ladies seized
with kleptomania while examining the
fashions is almost incredible. Among
the most recent culprits were a Rus,
sian princess, a French countess. an
English duchess, and the daughter OF
a reigning sovereign.
AS rule, these more distinguished
offenders are let off on the payment
or good round sum for the relief OF
the poor; and when the shoplifter is
known to berich the sum exacted rises
to as much as ten thousand francs,
The police authorities consent To
this sort OF condonation.

LOVES EMPTY CUP.

Through the dry desert of lonely life
Seeking the tount oflove divine, strayed,
Love came at last and laid
Unto my lips what did appear
A trimming chalice of his waters clea-
Gladly drank, and craved deeper draught
But 10! an empty vessel Knocked my pain!
Love sadly said: "'Tis vain;
Others alas! have drank before,
These paltry drops, poor friend, are all my
store'
o kindly Love! to give me these sweet drops
o cruel Love! to let me taste at all!
Knowing thy store was small;
All, Love, unwise! why hast thou walked
This burning thirst thatnever can be slaked?

SUED HIM AND WENT HIS BAIL

IA Wife's Devotion Overcomes
Her Resentment at Her Husband.s
Cruelty.
The Magistrates OF this city, especial
ly those who mete out justice to the
criminals in the southern sections,
have many queer cases to deal with,
says the Philadelphia Times, but one
which was heard before Magistrate
Fulmer presents many peculiar feat
ures, and deserves to be placed on
record as one of the most novel in
the criminal history OF this city.
The casein question was that OF Hair
ry Rodgers, who was given q hearing on
the charge Of assault and battery, pre-,
ferred by his wife. Mrs. Rodgers testi-
fed against her husband, claiming
that he had brutally beaten her with
out any provocation. Magistrate Full
. ,ner, after hearing the evidence, decid-
ed to hold Rodgers in $500 bail for
his appearance in court.
Up to this point the hearing was by
no means Unusual and was similar to
those which are every day presenting
themselves to the attention of the
magistrate. AS is usual in such casss
Rodgers was asked if he had any one
who would 60 bail for him. He was
about to answer that he knew of no
one who would be kind enough to per-
form such an office when suddenly, to
the surprise OF all'present, Mrs. Rodgers
who had sworn against her husband
and ON whose testimony he was put
under bail, stepped up to the magis-
trate's desk and offered to 60 his bail
for his appearance.
This, OF course, greatly puzzled the
Magistrate, but as the woman satisfied
him OF the fact that she was proper
ty-owner he was obliged to accept
her as security. The bail was entered,
and husband and wife left the office
together and no doubt will settle
the matter between themselves in
such a way that it will not require the
efforts OF the court to adjust it,

thing to his advantage if he should 90

entlne; so, after some futile resistance
to the message, he betook himself
thither.
He was graciously received by Glenn
entine-that is, graciously enough for
q young man who had played the
trif1er with her invisible affections
and he seated himself in coy chair
near the pretty table which held his
old friend the blue jar.
AS he talked with Clementine-a lit
tie constraint being apparent on both
sides--he toyed with the lid of the lar,
and the slant-eyed mandarin appeared
to wink at him three times very know
ingly.
Under some occult but imperative
pressure Randall removed the lid and
touched with his finger the silken tex
ture OF some mysterious contents.
| Curiosity further constrained him,
and he pulled from the bosom of the
now jubilant mandarin a pale blue
article of singular description for a
parlor ornament, and following it, he
extracted pale pink strip Of similar
shape and structure.
Turning to Clementine for explana-
ton OF these unforeseen apparitions,
he found her speechless with a Wild
eyed astonishment; and, without a
word or gesture seized the old blue
jar and hurried from the room.
Randall smiled the first real soul
| felt, refreshing smile that he had in
obliged in for several months and
vowed by the pigtail of the old slant
eyed that he would stay rooted to the
! spot until Clementine returned.
What she said to the genius of the
jar as she flew upstair with it only
the mandarin can reveal.
! AS Randall paced the floor, pulling
his moustache and wondering if Glenn
entlne's keen sense of humor would
carry her safely through the trying
hour, she came emaciateedly into the
room, bearing in one hand the blink
ing old mandarin, and in the other
the pleading letter he had borne so
long hid in his clever old bosom.
| Randall met the dear girl more than
| half way, and as she whimpered gent
ly on his shoulder he promised never,
never, never to tell. ..sl
| And when they were married, if you
| believe me, that ridiculous old ginger
jar accompanied them on their we'd
ding trip, and Randall packed the
bosom OF the grotesque mand arin full
| OF Clementine's bridal roses, there to
fade, and there forever to remain.
Now, as Randall never told, and
| Glenn ,ntine never told, the entire re-
sponsibility Of this revelation lies be-
tween you and me and the ginger jar.

Schoolboy Chivalry.

A clergyman, Archdeacon Sanctuary,
has recently died in England, of whom
the following story is told, showing a
spirit in him which we should be glad
to see emulated by every seheolboy.
The last year young Sanctuary was
at the great public school, OF Harrow,
he, went up. to Oxford to try for a
scholarship at Corpus Christi College.
Toward the end Of the examination a.
passage from Thucydides, in which
there was a peculiar difficulty, was
given out for translation and COM
nlent, and the examiner left the room
for q short time.
Then the Harrow lad, scorning to
take what might seem an advantage
OF his antagonists, rose and said.

sage was before us at Harrow very
lately; and was fully explained. And

A Romantic Discovery.

- OiSCoVSly.
There has been most extraordin-
airy treasure trove in Rio Janeiro, and
a story of it reads like g. page in.
"Monte Cristo," A few contractors
men were busy last month pulling
down the castle of San Antonio, when
they came suddenly upon unknown
subterranean passages, and carefully
hidden in these a rare amount OF
treasure. A hundred and twelve oak
chests clamped with iron, four iron
boxes and sixteen sacks these were
filled with old coins from the Spanish
mint to the value of at least 100000
0O0f. But this was only part Of the
wonder, for there were documents
that revealed further treasures, that
could not be far distant. There was
a receipt signed by the Superior
of the College of the Jesuits for, TWEEN
ty millions in good destined as tribute,
for John w., King Of Portugal, on the
occasion of his visit to Brazil. There
were jewels and precious stones, OF
great value. There was an inventory
that mentioned ingots and bars, OF
gold, there was another that spoke Of
gold dust-it all read like a page in a
romantic old novel. But the little
touch of modern life came in promptly
enough, for the question at oncearose
who was to. own the property. All

still exists. The present King of Port
ugal is the nearest descendant OF John;
", and the Republic of Brazil repre-
sents the Government of the old dy-

that the "fnd'' has not made a. great
noise, and theme will be much litiga-
ton before matters are finally settled
