Over the Ocean in a shcn.

NEW York, Feb. 8.-Captain James
Mouahan, of Canarsie, who for twenty
years mas followed the sea for living,
and is one Of the best known clam dig
gers around Canarsie, some time ago
declared that he intended to cross the
ocean in boat built by himself, aud
this morning he started in boat sixteen
feet long, two feet wide and SO rugged
as to make the management an easy
task. The small cabin is covered with
canvas, which is intended 10 protect the
provisions from the angry sea There
is room enough to carry sufficient food
for 100 days, but the captain expects to
make the journey in sixty days. The
wood used in the construction Of the
boat is entirely Of cedar.

big crowd at the court house on Sat-

they had already secured evidence of
crookedness which would be reported i'll
due season.
The report Of the committee on the
tramp question was very voluminous.

mitted to the Jail last year by Mount
Holly justices of the peace, for which
they received $7GoI40 and the sheriff
$l0,5S744. All other justices in the
county receive but $9li.55. The bill for
supplies to the Jail amounts to Fl, ,S37.73.
The supplies inclnde GOO cathartic pills
at one time, and AZ pints of Jamaica
ginger in one quarter. This would en-
able the physician to administer 62 doses
of ginger per day.
The report of the committee was
adopted, after which the subcommittee
on courts and other expenses reported
that the court expenses had increased
from S2,S57 IN 1864 TO $50, ,S2l. .29 in 1891.
The present sheriff and his predecessor
had been paid for summoDing constables.

One of the most successful of the
swindlers apparently is William Lord
Moore. He gives his address as Inger-
soil rood, Shepard's Bush, London. To
begin with there is no such address, but
there is public house in the neighbor-
hood at which Moore. who doubtless has
several other names, gets his mail. Hav-
ing obtained one fee from an American
victim and in return written several en-
couraging letters, he makes second
demand. The average claimant spends
hrst $40 as an ancnor to windward.
Then he diSliltes TO drop it when called
on u second time and throws good
money after bad.

A Story of Bosnn.

The manufacture of anecdotes about
dogs was a constant source of amusement
TO Captain Marryat. AS the creator OF
"Snarleyyow" Marryat showed marked
ability. How much that great practical
joker, Hook, helped Marryat as collabo-
rator in dog yarns is not known. The
most ingenious one is about Bosun,
represented to be Newfoundland dog.
Bosun's master made bet that, if d
half dozen silk hats were put down on
the floor, his dog would bring them all to
him in his mouth at once The wager
was accepted and six high hats were
put on the floor. Bosun was introduced
and requested "to fetch EN-"
Did Bosun hesitate? Perhaps for a
moment, but the noble animal was only
thoughtful, not embarrassed. Examin-
ing the circumference of the many hats,
BOsun selected at once the largest, then
the next in size and slipped the smaller
into the larger hat and so on until be
had comfortably nested the whole six in
the one large hat. Then taking the en-
tire hat package neatly by the rim, be
brought the six hats % his master. This
story. when Marryat saw it copied all
over England, gave him the keenest de
light, and, for aught that Is known, il
still floats around in the columns Of
French or German newspapers.-New
York Times
