Changed His Mind.

An old and popular Irish clergy
man had a disagreement with one OF
his parishioncrs, Il man of great
wealth but vulgar habits and abusive
tongue. Upon hearing from a third
party that his ancestry had been
spoken of disparagingly by this rich
boor, the old parson, borrowing
a Scriptural metaphor, exclaimed:
"Why, sir, my father would not have
set him with the dogs of his flock"
This remark reached the ears Of the
nabob, who Immediately repaired to
the clergyman and demanded an
apology. The good old man listened
patiently to the rawlings Of his
parishioncr, and closed the discussion
with the remark: "Did l really say
that my father would not have set
you with his dogs? 1 was wrong, sir;
| believe he would,"

MANY intelligent people have
sought information in regard to the
nature of the trick by which cur
rcncy is sold in New York ut a pre-.
MUM, and as tn the medium used i'm
purchasing silver, notes, coin, bank
paper, and greenbacks at from two
tn five Per cent. above their face
value. The transaction which is
called selling currency at 81 premium
is not like selling god at Il premium
over paper currency. The New York
banks do not pay out money, except
in limited quantities, on the cheeks
of their dcpositors. If a man has
money deposited i'm Il bank, and
wants more currency than it will let
him have, it ccrtities his check, and
this certified check he uses in the
purchase of currency. The fact Isl
there is no premium on currency, but
the certified bank checks sell at n
discount. 1t is not impossible that
some of the money lock ID up passed
out at the back door t, be used in
buying up checks on the bank. There
was no premium on currency, or
rather discount on checks, in Chica-
go, because the banks paid out cur
rency across their counters on the
checks of dcpositors.

HER SAILING DAYS OVER.
Exciting Escape of the Memnon from tn.
Privateer Alabama,

Exciting Escape of the Mcmnon from the
Privateer Alabama.
The old bark Mcmnon, one of the
most ancient craft ON the Pacific
coast. will 20 to sea no more. She
has fought her last battle against
wind and water, and In q few days
ut the most will he towed to the ma
fine crematory at California City,
where she will be consigned to the
flames.
She was one of the very few Amer
fcan We sells that when chased by the
pirate Alabama succeeded in making
her escape. The Memnon was on her
way from Liverpool to Boston at the
time. and fell in with the Alabama
when about half way across the At
lantic. .
The Alabama concealed her idcn-
tity until she got with in malt q mile of
the MemnoD, when the Confederate
flag was hoisted to the peak, and the
%astonishcd crew Of the Yankee blrk
began TO realize the true character of
the strange steamer.
1t was blowing IL gale from the
northwest at the time and the bark
Was under t0psails, but as soon as the
yards were squared the men AN alOft
anG sail after sail was loosed and set.
The men took no time to cast off the
gaskets. everything was knife work,
and in almost less time than it takes
to tell it the daring Yankee was fly
ing away to the eastward under q
cloud OF canvas than Threatened to
tear the masts out OF her every min
ute.
Capt Semmes of the Alabama had
no idea that the bark would try to es-
cape, and was below when the pros
pectivc prize changed her course and
began to make sail. He was quickly
on deck, however. and sent shot after
shot at the flying Yankee in hopes of
crippling her. At the same time the
Alabama crowded on all steam and
sail, but a stern chase is a long one,
and in a breeze like that the Yankee
bark vas as fast as the Alabama and
just q trifle faster.
In spite of everything that Scmmes
could do the Memnon slowly but
surely drew away from her pursuer,
and as the Alabama dropped farther
aud farther astern, the hopes of the
Yankee crew revived.
The chase lasted until night, and
then the pirate steamer gave it up
and hauled off to hunt for something
not quite SO speedy. But if the Ala
bama gave up the race the Mcmnon
did not, for she new started tack or
sheet until she had put several hum
dred miles of ocean between the Ala
bama and herself. San Francisco

"A Luxurious Race Horse.

Ormondc, the famous race horse
which arrived in New York last
week, has a luxurious wardrobe.
His busters and hot-weather wraps
are of the best white linen marked
with a blue check. "The same blue
and white pattern appears on the
blankets, which range from light tc
heavy weights and are of the finest
lambs wool. For extra cold weather
are sets OF t%an-colored blankets and
hoods which will hide the horse from
head to heels like a huge ulster. OF
the same pattern fer rainy weather
are sets of thin white rubber cover
ings. as dainty as a young swell's
macintosh. Rubbing towels, dust
ers, white and tan-colored cloths for
bandages, and square blue and
white checked padded flannel knee
covers, for use in walking exercise,
finish the wardrobe. They are the
best goods that could be bought in
London" A quantity of English
feed was brought over with Ormonde.
and he will use that until he is ac-
climatcd. The hay cost $50 a ton in
London, and it is strcwn with red
clover tops. The oats come from
Germany. Ormonde has a groom, a
second groom, and a watcher. One
is inclined to wonder what Ormonde's
thoughts would be il he should sud-
denly meet with reverscs and come
down to pulling a milk wagon.-Buf-

TIE time may come, says tho De-
troit journal. when the Government
of the United States will have to
place an export duty on American
girls. The business of marrying
titled paupers to American hcircsses
has become quite an industry in En-
gland, and it is being fostered and
encouraged by all the relatives, rich
ana poor, of the titled paupcr. BE
it said to their credit, however, there
are thousands of rich and beautiful
American girls who go abroad every
year and return with their hearts
and earthly possessions still their
own. They are flattered and feted.
but not fooled. They have a good
time, but they are not there for the
purpose of repairing broken fortunes.
When one of IL Thousand does throw
herself away, of course the 900, who
never had any intention or desire to
marry abroad, are included in the
list of availables for foreign consump-
ton. This is a libel on the Ameri-
can girl. She knows her business,
and yet it may be we'll to warn her
that the matrimonial industry in
England is in full blast and that
there are thousands of hard-up titles
looking for bargains.

Cucumber Snakes.

Down in Miles River Neck, Talbot
County, there Is u spot where the
average Chinese would delight to
dwell. 1t is a place where Chinese
cucumbers glow to an enormous size.
This vegetable, however, assumes
sometimes a shape which !rightens
the natives of the ncighborhood, in
spite of the fact that Talbot Is a
local option county. The cucumber
grows long and slim, and at times
twists itself into coils resembling a
snake. A man going from Easton
the other day to Miles River Ferry, in
passing a little clearing in the woods.
noticed a green-looking object in a
patch of vegetables. ana he got over
the fence to make q closer examina-
ton. He almost tainted. Another
citizen came along soon afterward.
The first man had revived and was
leaving the patch at a Nancy Hanks
gait. When accosted he said to his
friend, "Bcen bit by a snake; woods
full of 'em." Citizen No 2persuaded
the frightened nan to go back, and
upon examination the snake proved
to be a Chinese cucumber about
t%wenty-seven inches long, which in
the course of growth had twisted it,
self up in the form of a snake. The
cucumber was sent to the American
office by express yesterday. It was
on the farm of L. w. Trail of Miles
River Neck, and its shape is perfectly
snakelike. Mr.. Trail. it is said, has
a quarter of an acre of them. The
Chinese cucumber is not eaten to any
extent in this country except by
Chinese anda few foolish cows. The
former, however, import them in a
dried condition from their native
land. as they do stale eggs and other
odorous luxurics. The Chinese like
to see cucumbers grow and they often
cultivate them in their yards in the
cities w here. The snakelike APP
pearance Of the vegetable does not
brighten the s%lant-eyed foreigner, as

and his grandmother is worried
nearly to death with the fear that
he will get run over by the electric
cars or by a runaway horse. She
has whipped him time and again,
and tried every manner OF punish
ment She can think of, but all to no
avail.
A few days ago, after Houston had
given his grandmother a greater
fright than usual by running away
and getting lost, and not being found
until quite late at night, she decided
to cure him by dressing him in girls
clothes. So she made over one of her
dresses, fixed up an old sun bonnet
and some p%etticoats, and soon had
him dressed as a girl. And an odd
enough looking girl he made, too.
His dress just touched the ground all
round, and the sun bonnet, which
had been used by his grandmother
for a year or more, hid his little fat
face entirely. When completely
dressed from top to toe, he looked up
into his grandmother's face, and
with q merry twinkle in his eyes
said:
"Goody, grandma, I can play I'm q
witch now" and he danced about the
room in high glee.

efficacy of the @cure" she was trying,

just What He Wanted.

When Ethan Allen became a pris-
oner Of war, during the Revolution.
he suffered great hardship from con-
slant change of place and of keep
ers, but never lost his answering
loyalty to the American cause.
After an unhappy Imprisonment in
America, he vas taken to England,
| with his companions, and there cOn-
fined in Portsmouth, where he was
we'll treated, although he was rem
dered naturally uneasy by the Lroba-
bility that he would soon be hanged.
The prospect of execution led him to
adO"t a scheme fer attempting to in-
tluencc his captors.
He obtained leave to write to Con-
grcss. The letter would, of course,
be seen by his iailers. and it, was ex-
pectc1 by them That he would i'm
plo,e the "rcbcl" Congress to submit,
and accept pardon. He must, thought
they, he by this time impressed by
the spectacle of England's resources,
and must, as we'll, be alarmed for his
own safety, should the war continue.
They were disappointed. He gave
an exact and dispassionatc account of
the cruel treatment be had received,
in having been apparently regarded
as a felon rather than an honorable
prisoner of war, but advised Congress
to refrain from the retaliation she
might justly intlict, until it should
he known what the issue was to he.
Ii he and his companions should
be executed, she must avenge them;
if they were released, milder meas.
urcs might be taken. The letter was
addressed to "The Illustrious Cont.
mental Congress"
"I)o you think we are fools, here in
England" said the officer to whom
Allen intrustcd this missive. "Dc
you think we would send your letter
to Congress with instructions to re.
taliate on our W people? 1 have
sent it to Lord North"
This was exactly what Allen hao
desired.
"It gave me inward satisfaction
he said afterward, though 1 carc
fully concealed it with pretended re.
sentiment. l found I had come Van.

had gone to the person for whom ]
had designed it. "-Youth's Compan.
