A RottnmIess Pot.

An East Side dealer in New York was
lately made the object of swindle that
was rather novel and original. A mid
die aged woman came into his store one
day carrying on her arm large basket
in which was a pot with lid. She
placed the basket on the floor, made
numerous purchases, had her bill count
ed up, and then carefully put all her
articles into the pot and replaced the
lid with the greatest caution. She next
asked permission of the store keeper 10
leave the articles in his care, as she
wished to do little more shopping IN
the neighborhood, promising to return
in the course of an hour.
This request was willingly acceded to.
and lifting the pot out of the basket she
carried it carefully to corner, where
it would be out of the way, set it down
and again slipping the basket under her
arm, left the store, after profusely
thanking the man for his kindness.
Hours went by, but the woman failed
to call for her precious pot. At last
when closing time came, a salesman
went over to the corner for the purpose
of placing the earthen ware in safer
place, and quickly discovered that. like

Wellington in Early Life.

When young Wellington became aid.
de-camp to Lord Westmoreland, the
lord lieutenant of Ireland, his acquaint-
ance with the usages of society was as
limited as could well be possessed by
any lad who had passed through the
ordeal of public school. Moore, the
poet, who visited Dublin shortly before
me, and who lived in much the same So
ciety as myself, alludes in his journal to
the character for frivolity which young
Wellesley had acquired while member
of the vice regal staff.
An old lady, one of his contemporaries,
told me that when any of the Dublin
bellies received an invitation to picnic
they stipulated as condition of its &C

How n Painting Was Recoyarad

A painting of the infant Jesus in the
possession of New York family has a
curious history. 1t was sold to mem
Der of the family many years ago, and
the merchant declared his belief that it
was Guido Rene, although he was too
honest to certify to the fact. Years
later the purchaser saw in print shop
an engraving of a madonna and child
and recognized reproduction of a part
of his picture. He turned the picture
over to cleaner of oil paintings, and
the latter. on taking off the frame, dis
covered a part of the canvas doubled
upon itself. Spreading out the whole
canvas he began to scrape at the point
where, according to the engraving, the
madonna should be. In due time he was
rewarded, for the madonna's face ap-
peared, and the painting was plainly the
original of the engraving. The latter
was labeled as from Guido Rene-Chi-

A Daring Young Creature.

81 sometimes wonder that any child
ever lives to reach maturity" said P. G..
Wright. 1.-The saying that there is a
special providence watching over chill
dren, drunken men and fools must be q
truism. We hear much of the reckless
ness of boys, but believe that girls take
fully as many chances with the great
hereafter. When my oldest daughter
was five years old she did not climb hills
nor ride wild horses, but she went bath
ing in the Mississippi river and had a
penchant for exploring old wells. When
we Travelled we had to label her so the
police would know where to return her.
At seven years of age she mounted rail
way locomotive, during the temporary
absence of the engineer and fireman,
pulled open the throttle and sent it spin
ming down the line at mile a minute
gait until the steam was exhausted.
cat ten years she manufactured hot
air balloon and attempted an ascent.
but fortunately the flimsy airship was
too small to bear her above the earth.

sensible to danger as their brothers, and,

Bears Gall Is Worth Money.

A bears gall was recently sent to a
gentleman in this city as a slight token
of esteem from an intimate and deaS
friend in the country. with the sugges-
ton that it might possess II pecuniary
value in the Chinese language. Think
ing that it was intended to imply that
he lacked gall, our city gentleman
threw it in the street. Soon afterward

obtained was two dollars. They are

Two Castles in India.

The Rock Veddahs are stunted, hide
Gus and filthy; they live in secluded
caves and holes; they eat bats and rats,
and make their scanty clothing from the
bark of trees, but the Singhalese regard
them as of the very highest caste, and it
would be no disgrace for a woman of
good social position to marry Rock
Veddah. On the other hand, the very
greatest disgrace that could be inflicted
ON such woman would be to marry her
to a Rodiya, although these last are a
race distinguished for beauty, at least
in youth, and gentle and innocent by ma
ture.
The Rodiyas cannot enter temple or
village; they are forbidden to till the
soil or draw water from q we'll; they
cannot build house or divide burden
into two bundles; their shadow must
not fall on q stream, lest it be polluted;
no member of another caste may touch
them without disgrace, yet any one may
shoot them without blame. All this is
supposed to be in consequence of the act
of an ancestor two thousand years ago.

flesh. AS a consequence the beautiful
