Hackmen in the Last Century.

There is an old newspaper in Portland
that was published in Boston in 1897.
Its title is the "Colum bian Centinal, -
a journal printed Wednesdays and Satur.
days by Benjamin Russell, printer to the
United States for the Northern States.
Following is an abstract from it:
"The hackmeI of the town of Boston,
after sincerely thanking those who have
been so good as to employ them hitherto,
take the liberty Of acquainting them and
the public in general that they have come
to a resolution to receive their fare i'm
mediareiy upon passengers leaving their
carriages. The public will readily per-
oeive the porpriety of this resolution
when they recollect the low price fixed by
the selectmen for the rate of fare, the
high price of every necessary of life both
for themselves and horses, and the i'm
possibility of hackmen sparing time from
their daily pursuits to collect small
debts The hackmen wish only for a
comfortable living in common with their
fellow citizens. Cash they are obliged to
observe, is necessary article in their
business ad without daily application of
this specific grease their wheels must roll
heavily on. "HACKMAN.

olarissa's cud.

Clarissa Turner of Veazie, is insane,
blind and deaf, the result of a cold and
bad medical treatment when a girl of ten
years old. She is now 26 years. and
weighs 115 pounds. She is apparently in
good health. Clarissa, being easily excit-
able, and violent when aroused, was al
lowed to keep the fragments of a glass
ally" in her mouth until one day IN
November, when Mrs Turner observed
that her cheek was greatly sollen. Then.
as the young woman appeared to be in a
docile mood, the mother coaxed her to
dlsgorge the grating mouthful.
Here is what came out Of Clarissa S
mouth: One hundred and ten common
pins, two olapboard nails, two shingle
nails, three pieces of glass and q safety
pin. The pins were blackened and cor
roded and the nails rusted, while the
clasp, or safety pin, had left it's impress
sion as perfect as die in the flesh on
the inside of 10 cheek. The whole col
lection was SHOWN to reporter, who ask
ed how she could eat with all that load
IN her mouth, but the question could not
be answered.

They Slept in Hacks.

There are many Wandering Willies,
and Weary Watkins, /" in Portland now
a-days, as the police testify. They are
found very often ouddled up together and
sleeping in hacks, when those " ehioles
are left, during the night, where the
tramps can get at them.
Recently we'll known hackman was
going to attend funeral, and as he was
somewhat behind he hitched up his
horses in hurry. AS he was rumbling
along Cumberland street he heard a COM
motion inside of the hack, and at unce
stopped to investigate. The door opened
and ragged and unken'pt specimen of

sarcastic way, said, swell, boss, Pm
much obliged fur the ride, but If it's

ty-eight Storage passengers of the Van

A CHECK FOR $4,000.
Meant for shaw's Business College But
Reached New York Firm.

AS is well known, tho Shaw Dirigo
Business College of Augusta, carries on
through its students regulara business
proceedings with the Shaw college in this
city, both institutions being under the
same management.
That it is done in a business like way
is shown in an incident occurring. last
week, in which one of the largest bust
ness houses in New York was very neatly
caught.
Among the names used by the students
at Augusta in their business is the firm
name of "'H. B. Clafiin & Co.. and
as every one knows, there is New York
house called The H. B. Claflin Co.
December II, student, in settling for
a bill of goods, sent check, made out
on the regular college blank, for $1,000
payable to the order of the above named
firm.
In addressing the envelope, the student
neglected to add SIN care of Shaw Bust
ness College, and the postal authorities,
thinking it a misdireotion, forwarded it
to New York
1t was promptly delivered to the real
II. B. Claf1in Co., whose clerk opened IT.,
and doubtless felt thrill of Joy at the
goodly 81 re of the figures, arriving Just
in the time of financial bury.
The clerk, in his usual routine style,
grabbed his rubber stamp and jabbed at
the letter sheet. imprinting in bright red
Received, Dec. 90, 1885," Then The
grabbed another stamp and in blue ink
at the bottom, appears. '2o2," evidently
the receiving number. Not content with
these decorations. he penciled thusly:
$4,000"
He then turned his attention to the
check. and, placing 1t face down, he
stamped 1t in letters Of vivid crimson,
"For deposit only for account OF The H.
b Olaflin Co., and-though we have
only ciroumstantal evidence for this-lt
was then undoubtedly sent to the bank.
There are two sets of pin holes on the
check, one where it was pinned to the
letter, and the other probably where a
note was attached by the bank saying:
My friend, there is no such bank, this
isn't worth two cents, and it is huge
joke on you. :"
Anyway, the check was returned by
mail to the Shaw-Dirigo College, Augusta
last Saturday, without word of expla-
natl On, other than it was in one of The
H. B. CIaflin Co. IS envelopes.
That clerk has probably had to treat
more than once, and The H. B. Claf1in
Go. S BANK deposit of that day has been
scaled down just $4,000.

Hartford Citizens Had Fun During the

In tho phenomenal freslet that visited
Hartford just recently, with Il yellow
flood roaring and curling about some of
the principal streets of tho town. many
citizens enjoyed the rare and novclsport
of taking fish in their kitchen gardens,
i'll city lots and sometimes in the public
highways. Tho handsomest catch prob
ably was taken by W. Il. Smith of
Wctherstield avennc, who baggcd a
splendid seven pound river pike in his
back yard near line of currallt bushes.
Although the place is mile and a
half from the river ordinarily, still
there was water enough there even for
craft of tho pixies draft, since it was
two feet deep.
Unuuestionnbly it was the sevcrest
freshet since the extraordinary one Of
1858. Hundreds of dwellings were half
filled with dirty water, and tor more
than Il week it was impossible to reach
them except by swimming or i'll boats.
It was certainly decidedly novel to see y
fleet of small boats plying through pop
ulous avenues, ferying people hither
and tlither, as il with gondolas, to and
from their homes.

tion the houses arc left by the receding
