The Sport of Fortune.

Inventors are proverbially the sport of
fortune. A poor fellow of this class
named Jobson was once u boarder in a
house on Washington place, New York.
He had invented II lot of clever things
which were of no use to anybody, and he
was very hard up. The landlady was a
kindly soul and she did not press him
for long time, but Mt last his debt was
80 large and his hope Of paying it so
small that he vanished from the house.
Two months later, in the middle of win
ter, the man reappeared and begged
shelter for the night. In his old room
he committed suicide. At that very
moment an advertisement appeared in a
paper calling on Jobson by name to go
west and claim his share of relatives

whose alcoholism was so well known
that they might be referred to truthfully
as "prominent drunkards." They say

submit to it. Any one who attended the

Is now on the dry dock, receiving such
minor repairs and cleaning as may be
necessary to commission her for harbor
defense. This was the second monitor
ever built, and the record of her useful
ness and her hard service may be seen
in the shot dents of the turrets. These
are painted in color different from that
of the surrounding iron in order to en-
phasize their story, and they serve as an
Isct lesson to show that after all

make much difference whether giant
is killed by toothpick or hoisted with
a petard. He is dead all the same, and
worms will eat him. But we were
proud, and with good reason, of those
big smooth bores and of their charges in
those parlous days.
Then the theory was that for every
ten pounds of shot one pound OF powder
was needed, 90-pounder being fired
with nine pounds of powder; today we
have for each pound of powder two
pounds of shot, the 10-inch guns of the
Miantonomoh, the Nantuckets neigh
